If you've ever passed a kidney stone, you do not want to repeat the experience! The sharp and irregular stones travel down the slender tube (ureter) leading from the kidney to the bladder, and from the bladder to the urethra, following the path by which urine exits the body. While tiny stones may pass unnoticed, a larger stone can induce some of the worst pain that humans experience.
Most kidney stones are composed of calcium and oxalic acid, substances present in the urine that can crystallize inside the kidneys. Although these chemicals occur in everyone's urine, our natural biochemistry is usually able to prevent them from crystallizing. However, sometimes these protective methods fail and a stone develops. This article focuses mainly on these calcium oxalate stones.
Less commonly, kidney stones may be made from calcium and phosphate, from another substance called struvite (usually the result of an infection) or, rarely, from uric acid or cystine.
It isn't known why some people develop kidney stones and others do not. However, once you've had a stone, you are fairly likely to develop another.
Low fluid intake greatly increases the risk of developing virtually all types of stones.1,2,3For this reason, individuals at risk of developing stones are often advised to increase their fluid intake. However, while there is evidence that fluids in the form of coffee, tea, beer, and wine can decrease risk of kidney stone development, apple juice and grapefruit juice may have the opposite effect.4,5
High intakes of sodium 6,7and protein (particularly animal protein) may also increase the risk of calcium oxalate stones,8,9although some studies have found that protein has no such effect.10 Oxalate-rich foods, such as spinach, rhubarb, and cocoa may also increase the risk of developing calcium oxalate stones. Indirect evidence suggests that regular use of cranberry concentrate tablets might also increase risk of kidney stones.11 In addition, vitamin D affects calcium levels in the body, and prolonged use of extremely excessive doses of vitamin D has been known to cause kidney stones. Strangely, however, high-calcium foods don't seem to increase the risk of calcium oxalate stones. (See Other Proposed Treatments for Kidney Stones below).
Conventional treatment for kidney stones varies depending on symptoms as well as the location and chemical composition of the stones. For those who pass a stone spontaneously, the main treatments are painkillers and fluids. The chemical composition of passed stones can be analyzed to determine their cause. Other stones may be detected earlier, when they are still in the kidney. Treatment depends on their location and symptoms. Those causing problems may be treated with extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy, a technique that can break up these stones from outside the body, allowing them to pass more easily. Occasionally, however, surgery may be necessary.
"Silent" stones, or those causing no symptoms, are often treated with preventive measures alone. These methods include increasing fluids, modifying the diet, and taking drugs or supplements to alter the chemistry of the urine.
Citrate, or citric acid, is an ordinary component of our diet, present in high amounts in citrus fruits. Citrate binds with calcium in the urine, thereby reducing the amount of calcium available to form calcium oxalate stones. It also prevents tiny calcium oxalate crystals from growing and massing together into larger stones. Finally, it makes the urine less acidic, which inhibits the development of both calcium oxalate and uric acid stones.
What Is the Scientific Evidence for Citrate?
One form of citrate supplement, potassium citrate, was approved by the FDA in 1985 for the prevention of two kinds of kidney stones: calcium stones (including calcium oxalate stones) and uric acid stones.
In a 3-year, double-blind study of 57 people with a history of calcium stones and low urinary citrate levels, those given potassium citrate developed fewer kidney stones than they had previously. In comparison, the group given placebohad no change in their rate of stone formation.12
Potassium-magnesium citrate was studied in a 3-year trial involving 64 participants with a history of calcium oxalate stones.13During the study, new stones formed in only 12.9% of those taking the potassium-magnesium citrate supplement, compared to 63.6% of those taking placebo. Benefits have been seen in other small studies as well.56,60
Citrate is available in the form of calcium citrate. Besides increasing citrate in the urine, this supplement has the advantage of being a readily absorbed form of calcium for those seeking to increase their calcium intake for other health reasons.14 However, calcium citrate has not yet been studied as a preventive for kidney stones.
Some physicians have proposed drinking citrus juices as a means of increasing urinary citrate levels. Like potassium citrate, orange juice decreases urinary acidity and raises urinary citrate, but it also raises urinary oxalate, which might tend to work against its beneficial effects.15Lemon juice may be preferable, as it has almost five times the citrate of orange juice. A small study found that drinking 2 liters of lemonade daily doubled urinary citrate in people with decreased urinary citrate.16Avoid regular consumption of grapefruit juice, though: in one large-scale study, women drinking 8 ounces of grapefruit juice daily increased their risk of stones by 44%.17
It was first thought that citrate supplements were only helpful against kidney stones in individuals who didn't excrete the normal amount of citrate in their urine.18However, some researchers now suggest that citrate treatment may also be useful for those at risk for stones whose citrate excretion is normal.19
The proper dosage of citrate depends on the chemical form and should be individualized under medical supervision.
Safety Issues
Potassium citrate can irritate the gastrointestinal tract, causing upset stomach or bloating in 9% to 17% of people.20Potassium-magnesium citrate may potentially cause the same problem, although one study found it to be no more irritating than placebo.21
Supplements containing potassium have the potential to raise blood levels of potassium too high, primarily in people with impaired kidneys or those taking a potassium-sparing diuretic such as triamterene. Taking too much citrate can also result in overly alkaline blood, again particularly in people with kidney disease.
Citrate-induced reduction of urinary acidity can lead to decreased blood levels and effectiveness of numerous drugs, including lithium, methotrexate, oral diabetes drugs, aspirin and other salicylates, and tetracycline antibiotics.22 In addition, the urinary antiseptic methenamine is less effective in alkaline urine. Conversely, the blood levels of other drugs could increase, possibly increasing risk of toxicity. These drugs include stimulants, such as ephedrine and methamphetamine, as well as the drugs flecainide and mecamylamine.

STOP blaming HNL for this mess. All team exec were present at a meeting with HNL to make this decision. Thye knew with paid players that they would not be able to afford them unless they had this 'win fall' at the end of the season. It backfired!! How many teams will remain? Ask the tough questions of the people thta represent these teams at HNL meetings.. They have some explaining to do.
- April 24, 2012 - 17:39
Listen Up. Your comment about team executives present at an HNL meeting where this decision was made is a complete fabrication. No such meeting ever took place. The teams never agreed to hold Herder Games at the bigger venues because they thought there would be more revenue. The deicsion was made unilaterally by HNL over and above objections from the teams. The ONLy thing you are right about is that it backfired....just like some teams said it would.
- April 01, 2012 - 09:51
Although I love the Caribous, I am a season ticket holder robbed of the opportunity to cheer and support my team. I refuse to spend hundreds of dollars to take a trip to watch a game. For almost as much money, I could fly to an NHL game! Showcase Senior Hockey in the province? What a joke! Corner Brook sees Senior hockey all year, and St. John's is wrapped up in the IceCaps (rightfully so, since they haven't had a senior team for decades). HNL, if your goal is to "showcase", maybe the games should be in Goose Bay and Marystown, or Port aux Basques, who had great senior hockey many years ago. Bottom line - this is a kick in the guts to the two towns who have built great franchises and the fans/sponsors who support them 100%. I agree with the suggestion that those responsible for this bonehead decision resign. In Clarenville there would be 2000+ in our beautiful new facility. And like at Joe Byrne, the place would be rocking. I'm happy to see the rainbow of empty colored seats in Corner Brook. Hope HNL sees them too. But, of course they do... they are all there, not on their dollar I bet.

It would appear HNL have cause a serious disruption to the normal anticipated operations of the league after the season started which may have resulted in undue hardship to town business, supporters, volunteers, players-executive etc. and could affect future support. I would think Ches Crosbie could be interested in the facts.

Not to belabour the point PJ but my comment was directed directly to St. Johns. I'm well aware of the geography of the east coast. With that being said, tha Joe Byrne Memorial Stadium went through an extensive renovation in 2005 and is a great place to watch a game. We can fit ove 1400 fans there, and although that doesn't sound like much, it is a lot better than 1000 in a 3000 seat Pepsi Centre. I don't think you can appreciate the empty feeling we here in GFW have with following the team all year and then having the hockey tap turned off abruptly. Go Cats Go

Please listen all you experts out there. I have gone on long enough listening and reading about this mess and now will pass comment. After playing hockey all my life at the most competative levels all the way through the provincial hockey system, including the NAHA for 7 years, when all teams played all games, regular season and playoffs, in their own rinks and the leagues were, for the most part, 60's, 70' & part of 80's, very successful, I think it was completely unnecessary for HNL to do what they did to the players & the fans of both GFW and C'ville. In my opinion this was simply a selfish political move by Jack Lee to make himself feel more important than the league, the players, the fans and the game itself, (similar to Bettman of the NHL) which is pitiful to say the least. Well Jack, you should be ashamed of yourself. You have taken the most exciting part of the hockey season away from the players and the fans of both these communities and have created a very poor outlook for next season when these teams have to go back to their long time supporters and ask for sponsorships and season ticket sales. I will bet my bottom dollar that when Jack Lee was involved in the Mount Pearl Hockey scene as management or coach and someone came along and told him his team woulkd have to play their home playoff games in any other community in this province, even as close as CBS, he would have gone ballistic without question. Now Jack, that you have had your moment of glory and will have your name etched in the hockey history of our province as the one who ruined the 2011 - 12 senior hockey season, do the honorable thing and resign. You are obviously not up to the skill level required for this job and your ability to think of what is best for those residents living outside the overpass seems to be obstructed for some reason. How did you expect fans, no matter where they have to travel to and from, to afford $350.00 per ticket ($250.00 hotel room, $100.00 meals, $250.00 gas, $50.00 game tickets and $50.00 incidentals - total $700.00 for 1 weekend 2 game series) ? Guess what everyone is not independently wealty in this province and in most situations the local hockey in the communities around our province is one of few sources of entertainment that these folk have during the winter months and you took it away from them, shame on you. Let someone with real hockey experience and executive decision making sense replace you and get our local senior hockey back to where it belongs - in the communities and rinks all over our province. Our province wide fan base for this league deserve better.

If there were in fact less than 100 fans there then HNL lost money. The rent on the Pepsi Centre and Mile One will require at least a half sell out. So now we have the attendance in St. John's subsidising rent in Corner Brook. Great Job Jack, looks like lots of money being generated for the league, NOT. Stupid decision and this only proves it. Can someone provide me with an answer to this: who is footing the bill for all the HNL board and executive members who are attending the games? Hotel, travel, meals etc?

Hey PJ, the HNL stated one of the reasons they went with the idea was because they wanted to showcase Senior Hockey across the island, If, in your opinion, Senior Hockey is alive and well on the East and West coast and since Corner Brook and, as you say, Clarenville(?) Mount Pearl and the Cee-Bees, are representing your East Coast interest, well then, was it not being showcased all season long. Let's stop pandering and call it for what it is, a money maker for HNL, it. All well and fine to say the revenue sharing will help teams like Monut Pearl keep afloat, if populations the size of GF-W and Clarenville can make it work, and the City of Mount Pearl cannot garner enough community support to pay their way then what's the message? The Cats and the Bous are the heart of their respective communites during the winter as evidenced by the tremendous fan attendance for their home games, and to take this away from the fans of these two teams is sickening.

hey PJ how many game sdid you see throughout the year Did you travel to Grand falls and Clarenvile? Bottom line is HNL shagged this up and they got to live with it. love to be at HNL meetings in June to hear discussion on this
- March 31, 2012 - 11:07
We have tems in Mount Pearl Coneption Bay and Clarenville there buds do me a favor and buy a map and a clue if that int east coast NL what is? We have a AHL team in St.Johns we dont need a Senior Team. Cataracts are a great team no doubt but the drama that comes with their fans aint worth it. Grab your own league make your own rules and ttyl no body wants to hear fans go on and on and on about how they were wronged. Your arena is not up to par plain and simple time to get a modern rink or enjoy the games at the pepsi center. Considering St.Johns has a AHL team the attendance was good for Senior Hockey. I think they should play all games at Mile One , good crowds nice modern arena to watch hockey in and its good for the league.

Cosider this scenario: the St johns Caps are in the finals of the Herder finals. HNL tells the Caps that they have to play all their games in Deer Lake because HNL is trying to promote the game around the province. I'll bet my bottom dollar there'd be such an outcry' it would be deafening.
- Gary
- March 31, 2012 - 10:10
Hockey alive on the east and west coasts! You have a senior team on the west coast that can't draw fans, and..........................NO senior team in St. Johns. Great observation there. The Cataracts and Caribous organizations are the envy of senior hockey and unfortunately, HNL decided to pirate the most important games in each of these communities to undeserving venues. No way to really justify this as much as you want to keep blaming the Cats.
- Mikey
- March 31, 2012 - 11:06
The HNL Board of Directors must have put in a tremendous of thought to create this mess. Forcing the two teams to play their home games hours away from their home rinks is the biggest farce in the history of Senior Hockey. Well done Jack, well done!!
- March 31, 2012 - 09:16
i agree with gary, HOCKEY NEWFOUNDLAND/LABRADOR BOARD should resign. they made a mockery out of the fans from grandfalls-windsor and clarenville. these games should be played in the home buildings of the finalist. it was all about money in the first place and not about what was best for the fan, i called on all fans to boycott this hockey, send hockey newfoundland/labrador a message that you won't be bullyed by their DICTATORSHIP !

Why would Corner Brook residents be interested in games between Clarenville and GrandFalls ? St Johns residents who want to see a game of hockey have the Ice Caps. Travel to St. Johns isn't easy for GrandFalls fans; likewise travel to Corner Brook isn't easy for Clarenville fans. Result= small attendance. Thats unfortunate for the players. Controversial decisions are no strangers in hockey at many levels. You reap what you sow.
- Gary
- March 30, 2012 - 21:43
Terrible, less than 1,000 fans there. Atmosphere like a morgue. Don't expect many more fans for tomorrow or Sunday. Like I said HNL can talk all they want about ticket sales increasing but this is and will be a complete failure on every level and the board of HNL should all resign and let's get some real hockey people there. Shameful.
- March 31, 2012 - 09:28
Well it looks like another Grand Falls fan to wine about the series being moved to Corner Brook, Personally I think Grand Falls shoud start there own Central League on there own and leave the Provincial Set up. If you go on NL hockey talk there are thousand of posts from fans wining from Grand Falls, time to move on bys . Take your team and get, no one cares out here. I attended both games at Mile One great hockey good crowds , no matter the outcome in Corner Brook the Cats fans are gonna moan and cry over not playing in the tin can of a rink in Grand Falls. Great to see Provincial hockey alive on east and west coast . Good luck to both teams the weekend and lets stop complaining about the series being in Corner Brook , get over it its done .

A suspected drunken driver crashed a car in Lockwood last March and ran away before anybody showed up.
In January, a couple near Laurel reported that a man tried to break into their home and damaged a pickup truck before taking off into a nearby field.
While separate incidents, both cases have something in common: the suspects bolted into the night before law enforcement arrived, trying to hide under the cover of darkness.
And each time, deputies with the Yellowstone County Sheriff's Office quickly found them — without spotlights or flashlights — with the help of thermal-imaging gear that lets them see in complete darkness.
"It's a really good tool, and it's an officer safety thing," said Lt. Vince Wallis.
It's the kind of equipment you'd expect to see in a high-tech spy film: an officer points a cameralike device and, either through a viewfinder or on an onboard computer screen, a clear, detailed image of the area pops up.
But instead of the colors normally seen, the image is in blacks, whites and grays. The warmer an object is, the brighter it gets, standing out against everything around it, even in pitch-black conditions, but with enough detail to make out features on someone's face or the undercarriage of a car.
Both the Billings Police Department and sheriff's office have thermal-imaging equipment — which picks up and displays heat signatures by reading infrared radiation — although each uses it in different capacities.
The BPD has a single, handheld Raytheon unit a little bigger than a football that's used primarily by the SWAT team. They bought it about 10 years ago with money from a federal grant.
"It definitely has its uses," said Sgt. Casey Hafner, SWAT team commander. "It could very much be a life-saving instrument."
He said officers use it in a number of situations, including during SWAT raids by attaching it to a pole hooked up to a portable screen to check out dark attics and corners.
"As opposed to sticking your head up into an attic, you can do it that way," Hafner said. "It's great for that because this way the officer isn't exposed when they check it out."
Using money in 2010 from a $197,000 U.S. Department of Homeland Security grant, the sheriff's office purchased eight Flir brand handheld thermal-imaging units — costing $5,000 apiece — and 42 Noptic units at $4,200 each for every patrol car. The Noptic cameras are mounted on a spotlight on the driver's side, can rotate 360 degrees and send a live video feed to the vehicle's onboard computer.
"You have coverage almost all of the time," Wallis said. "The good thing is we've got them on every car. I'm pretty sure the deputies use them nightly."
He rattled off nearly a dozen different uses for the equipment, including search and rescue, finding suspects, spotting recently driven vehicles, surveillance, finding dropped evidence and vehicle crash investigations.
"We've already used it for quite a few things," he said.
On May 27, two women died when the car they were in plunged off of Zimmerman Trail. At first, officials could only find one of the victims but thermal-imaging gear used by both the BPD and sheriff's office were able to track down the second.
Several minutes of recorded video from the 2010 Lockwood crash shows a deputy searching the area using the car-mounted imaging equipment. In the video, the deputy is scanning nearby neighborhoods for the driver.
Eventually, the deputy begins focusing on a hilly area near a cluster of homes and one bright spot — indicating heat — in particular. As the deputy slowly scans the area, the spot moves, indicating somebody poked his head out from a hiding spot.
Another deputy can then be seen walking along a trail to where the suspect was hiding.
"I think as time goes on we'll find more and more uses for them," Wallis said. "They're great because there really isn't a range with these things. If there's a plane flying above you and it's clear, you can spot the plane."
While it's a great tool for law enforcement, the technology does have some limitations.
For starters, it can't see through walls. So unless there's an extreme difference in temperature between an object and the wall it's next to, it won't show up.
The devices also can't see through windows. Since glass generally bounces the infrared radiation back, if you point one at a window, you're likely to see your own reflection peering back.
While the sheriff's office's gear works in all types of light, the police department's unit isn't effective in well-lit areas.
"There are very few places within the City of Billings that you're not going to have some kind of illumination," said Police Chief Rich St. John. "I think there are a lot more applications out in the county where it's not as urban."
Despite those limitations, officers and deputies feel the thermal-imaging equipment adds an effective, reliable tool to their belts.
Wallis said the sheriff's office doesn't keep track of the number of times deputies use the equipment but that other departments around the country have seen increases in arrest rates once they began using them.
Even though the BPD uses its thermal imager far less often, officials say they're glad it's available and that nearby agencies use them.
"We want to be as prepared as we can for every possible contingency that we might face," St. John said. "Especially here, where you might be out with some very difficult terrain, I think that equipment helps things really jump out when you're trying to find a needle in a haystack. It saves a lot of wear and tear."

This is lovely! I would make a bit more dressing, personally. We are Marylanders and lovers of blue crab, so believe me that we don't want to overwhelm that flavor, but the dressing is just delicious and very complementary. I think just maybe 1 1/2 times as much. The citrusy and gingery tang is wonderful. I also used sesame chili oil, b/c that's all i had, and didn't notice a difference.
This was so easy to make and absolutely delicious!! Made it for family on Christmas Eve, and was a great way to kick off the festivities! The wasabi adds a nice kick. I didn't serve on lettuce but instead added some shredded cabbage for crunch.
This is the ubiquitous "Prawn Cocktail" all grown up! Anyone living in the UK during the eighties will recall the standard pub fare offering of tepid prawns drowned in salad cream and ketchup over a bed of lettuce...this tasty morsel is thankfully far removed! I used a jar of claw meat, wasabi powder and double the lime zest. Instead of Chinese or Boston greens, I had Butter Lettuce available. Verdict from my Cuban Sweetie and I - "Delicious!"

These are Christmas Island photos from Jim Vogel, who is a good friend of Kaufmann Streamborn Fly Fishing. He spends a lot of time there; so he has some absolutely wonderful photos to share. All of the fish on this album were caught on flies. This photo album is from Jim's most recent adventures over at Christmas Island. Check out the giant barracuda that Jim caught on a fly! It is an absolute beast!
We have some great Christmas Island trips; so check out our Kaufmann Streamborn: Kaufmann's Expeditions Travel Blog.

Index -> Automotive -> Road Test -> Hybrid and Electric Driving the 2015 Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive We've driven the EV future, and it doesn't belong to Tesla. BMW i8: We Drive the 3-Cylinder Eco Supercar More than a just pretty silhouette, the second i car delivers honest eco-friendliness and performance you'd expect from BMW. 2014 Cadillac ELR: When a Volt Gets All Dressed Up The Cadillac ELR transforms the Chevy Volt into a plush luxury cruiser, but can this $76,000 range extender find an audience? 2015 Audi A3 e-tron Prototype Test Drive The only A3 to get a five-door wagon layout, this plug-in hybrid Audi might be one of the best-driving PHEVs we've ever seen. 2015 Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive Test Ride We experience a prototype Mercedes-Benz EV that brings range, silence, and speed in equal measures. Subaru's First Hybrid: 2014 XV Crosstrek The crossover becomes the first Subaru with a hybrid powertrain. But with minimal gains in mpg, what's driving Subaru's play? The Ultra-Commuter: 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid Better mpg, better powertrain, and a better drive. Meet the new standard for hybrid sedans. 2014 Chevrolet Spark EV Test Drive Chevy's minicar gets electrifiedand gets a whole lotta torque. Porsche 918 Spyder: The Shape of Supercars to Come Pages: 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Don't tell Porsche that a carmaker must choose efficiency or performance, but not both. The astonishingly sophisticated 918 Spyder Hybrid smashes that limited line of thinking. 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid Energi A bigger battery pack and plug-in rechargability gives Ford's C-Max more green cred, more power... and a heftier price. Riding Shotgun in the Porsche 918 Spyder We take a ride around the Nürburgring in the most mechanically complex Porsche ever built. 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid Test Drive Ford tries to beat the Toyota Prius V by bringing this Focus-derived hybrid to the United States. 2013 Honda Fit EV Test Drive Can an all-electric Honda Fit maintain the simple joy of driving that's made us love the gasoline version? If our first drive is any indication, then absolutely. When the Nissan Leaf Dries Up PM just finished its long-term test of the Nissan Leaf, which included getting stranded with a near-empty battery on the way to work. It was a very real reminder that EV range limits are not to be taken lightly. 2012 Mitsubishi i Test Drive Less expensive and more efficient than the Nissan Leaf, the i is Mitsubishi's take on a practical, affordable four-passenger electric vehicle. 2011 Smart ForTwo Electric Drive Passion Coupe Test Drive The newest version of Smart's conspicuously goofy two-seater is an electric vehicle called the Smart Electric Drive. But can this test car fix some of the ride quality weaknesses that hampered Smart's gasoline-powered ultracompact? 2012 Toyota Prius V Test Drive Toyota scales up its iconic hybrid to woo young families and people in search of a fuel-efficient cargo hauler. But can the Prius work as a family car? 2012 Porsche Panamera S Hybrid Test Drive Porsche drops the 380-hp hybrid V6 powertrain from its Cayenne crossover into the Panamera luxury sedan. Does the leather-lined super cruiser live up to the Porsche image? 2012 Toyota RAV4 EV Prototype Test Drive Toyota and Tesla are teaming up for a new electric RAV4, this time with respectable range and impressive power. The only question is: Does it work out in the real world? 2012 Infiniti M35h Test Drive Infiniti's first hybrid delivers over 30 mpg, luxury touches, high-tech features and a surprisingly sporty driving character. Volkswagen XL1 Test Drive: 1 Gallon, 235 Miles Volkswagen builds a two-seat super-eco-car that's slower than a Jetta diesel but more than five times more economical. What's more, VW says it will put it on sale in two years' time. Audi A1 E-Tron Concept Test Drive Audi's A1 E-Tron plug-in hybrid returns 123 mpg, is handsome and fun to drive, makes no compromises and has a Wankel rotary in the trunk. Unfortunately, there are only a handful in existence, for now. 2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid U.S. Test Drive Hyundai enters the hybrid-car scene with a distinctly original approach, shifting the emphasis from city to highway, saving costs on transmission choice, and adding the latest in battery technology. 10 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About the Nissan Leaf Think you've read all there is to know about the much-anticipated all-electric Nissan Leaf? Think again. Here are 10 things you probably didn't know about the Leaf. Nissan Leaf: One Impressively Uneventful Test Drive Yes, this was one of the most boring test drives ever. But for the first all-electric vehicle to hit the mass market, that's precisely what's so impressive. 900 Miles Reliability Report in the Chevy Volt Driven, tested, and evaluated. Here is all the dataincluding EV range, fuel economy, and accelerationon Chevy's new plug-in hybrid. 2011 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid Test Drive Hyundai comes up with a lighter, simpler hybrid system that delivers better highway mpg and keeps the fun-to-drive quotient high. 2011 Mitsubishi i-Miev EV Test Drive We drive the Mitsubishi i-Miev From San Francisco To Sacramento. Tazzari Zero EV Test Drive 2012 Toyota Plug-in Prius Pre-Production Test Drive (December 2009) Volvo V70 and C30EV Show Battery-Powered Promise (October 2009) Comparison - Hybrids At The Crossroads (January 2006) Sales are growing, but so is the controversy.

The next morning, after a deep, healing sleep in one of Canaima Camp's little thatched-roof bungalows, Eduardo drove me over dry desert land with fissures like the cracks on top of a brownie. At a bend in the river we boarded a canoe and floated along for two hours or so, Eduardo pointing out fish, parrots, and, hanging from barely visible stems, bursts of purplish pink - Venezuela's national flower, the orchid.
For lunch we stopped at a tiny camp maintained by Pemon Indians, the original inhabitants of Canaima, and Eduardo deftly prepared chicken with tomatoes and onions. He pulled out a jar filled with what looked like black jelly, which he offered as a condiment. In case you haven't tried them, I'll tell you: Venezuelan ants are crunchy like raspberries, as tart as capers.
On my last morning in Canaima, I flew in a 1945 DC-3 propeller plane up into a misty canyon, swooping close to Auyan Tepui's flat top, where strange plants and animals live, and past Angel Falls, the highest waterfall in the world. Along the sides of the tepui were tall, skinny protrusions that looked like human designs - watchtowers from which to look out for enemies. The whole place resembled an ancient city that had been evacuated in a catastrophe.
But that isn't the image I'll call up when I think of Venezuela. What I'll remember instead is a scene - light-hearted, even bordering on silly - from the night before. I was sitting alone at a snack bar, thinking that this place would make a great setting for a Disney adventure movie. Quite suddenly, the room was dense with people. I saw Tim Allen, of Home Improvement fame; next, some British men came in, followed by some Americans and finally the actress Lolita Davidovitch. One of the Englishmen, a camera operator, told me everyone was staying in Canaima to shoot Jungle 2 Jungle - a Disney adventure film. The lights in the snack bar went down, and the music came up. Someone pulled out a cooler filled with beer. I dug into my purse, pulled out the bold eyeliner, and joined the party.
SERVITOURS (800/337-5292) offers a three-night package that covers a round-trip flight to Caracas from New York, airport transfers, one night at the Eurobuilding hotel in Caracas, a round-trip flight from Caracas to Canaima, two nights at Canaima Camp, inclusive of meals, a 45-minute flight to Angel Falls, and a canoe trip (optional splurge: $60 for a guide). The price is per person based on double occupancy.

I searched the web as I figured someone would have asked this before. Couldn't find squat. I'm certian the Honda is a champion trimmer but I'm not so sure about the husky. It seems as if their stuff lately has been pretty user friendly and overall just designed well.
Since they have the same heart (Homda GX25), which is better and why? The Honda is ~$350 new and the Husky is ~$330. Or for a homeowner would getting the 35cc Honda trimmer make more sense for only $30 more? I'm currently using a 30cc 2 stroke John Deere (Homelite) s1400. I've had it for 7+ years and its really been an amazing trimmer. It starts 2nd-3rd pull every time and I think it has a ton of power. I briefly owned a poulan pro 25cc 2 stroke trimmer (bought off Craigslist to have something to mess with/take apart to see what makes these little 2 stroke engines run but ended up fixing it and reselling it on the list. But that thing was absolutely horrible. So what can you tell me? |

Poulan/Husqvarna/Weedeater/Craftsman(with 917 prefix) are all the same manf. |
Really? You mean they are made at the same location? I know the other brands you mentioned do not make a trimmer with a Honda engine so perhaps the Husky is made at the facility the Honda trimmer is made? I really don't want anything to do with anything manufactured in concert with Poulan products. The main problem with that Poulan I had for a brief moment was the need for special tools to adjust the carb, it was unbelievable. Perhaps had I been able to lean/ritchen up the mix in that trimmer it would have been a decent tool. |
- Posted by bill_kapaun Z8 Orygun (My Page) on Tue, Nov 6, 12 at 11:43
I don't know where any of them are made. I can't imagine Honda would make any other brand in their facility. Likely, AYP just buys engines from Honda, like many other Manfs. do, to use in their "other brand" lawn mowers etc. Since the same engine is used in both products you mention, I'd expect servicing the engine would require the same tools. |
Makes sense. Have you ever dealt with a machine that needed one of those special half smiley face/D, multi-tip star or any others? They are near impossible to adjust with out them. Its really dumb IMO. |
- Posted by rosemallow z7 Md (My Page) on Sat, Nov 10, 12 at 9:33
I don't know much about the Husqvarna 224l. I do know that they give a 2 year guarantee and will offer a third year for a small fee. The Honda uses ball bearings to support the crankshaft. I looked for a parts diagram for the Husqvarna 224l and I did not see one yet. Not to hide it I like Honda. Every time I think of Husqvarna I think of the Electrolux vacuum cleaner. |
I have an electrolux vacuum, well its their commercial line called clean-team or something like that. It has been a great vacuum for over 8 years and I only just recently had to have the agitator (thing that spins to get the mulm from the surface that's being cleaned) replaced. I might be selling/giving my johndeere s1400 to my brother so getting a new trimmer may actually be happening sooner than later. |

Justin Bieber and Rascal Flatts Unveil 'That Should Be Me' Video
Justin appeared on Rascal Flatts' 'Nothing Like This' special, which aired on ABC on March 12. The program included a clip of the 'That Should Be' music video, as well as an interview with the mega pop star.
"Music is music, and it's a universal language," Justin said about the collaboration. "It doesn't really matter what style, as long as it appeals to others and people like it, that's all that really matters."
Watch the 'That Should Be Me' video below. What do you think? Should Justin make more music with Rascal Flatts? Would you want to hear the Canadian singer try his hand at a traditional country song? Let us know in the comments.

When I was about 7 I let my step brother cut my hair. Took a BIG chunk out of my bangs. We both got the devil for it.
Cassidy cut hers once too. I wasn't home for whatever reason but when I got home I noticed hair on the floor of the bathroom. And of course it was about a week before school pictures.

Not to bad actually. I've seen worse- and honestly, not by my boys! They preferred to cut clothing.
Ouch. Happy Easter Tanner.

Cleaved through the waving meadows of Lancaster County farmland, Tree Top Golf Course beckons to golfers of all stripes with a 4,651-yard, par 65 layout. The scaled-down links allow players to squeeze in an expedited round after work, before sunset, or during theater intermissions, and nine par 4s and a 427-yard par 5 channel the feel of a full-length layout. The course hosts night golf, during which clubbers tee up glow-in-the-dark balls and putt across greens illuminated only by the moon. To spread the game of golf to those at the critical age when they have to choose between golf and croquet, the course offers free rounds for children 8 and younger.
Course at a Glance:
18-hole, par 65 course
Length of 4,651 yards from the farthest tees
Course rating of 64.2 from the farthest tees
Slope rating of 99 from the farthest tees
Two tee options
Bettering your golf game is what's at the center of the fun at Bumble Bee Hollow— and it all comes back to director of golf Lorraine Klippel, an LPGA Master and Hall of Famer. Starting with the facility's driving range, golfers come to launch practice shots from more than 50 upper and lower hitting stalls. That's a lot of space dedicated to the long game, yet Lorraine still made sure to carve out areas where players can work on their softer swings. You can encounter that action in Bumble Bee's pitching and putting areas, or on the 18-hole mini-golf course, where the putting tracts were designed to mimic the gentle contours of real greens.
Situated on the historic, picturesque William Penn land-grant settlement, Valley Green's verdant fairways, manicured greens, and tree-lined rolling hills have visually regaled golfers for nearly five decades. The classic northeast-style par 71 golf course unfolds across 6,300 yards, and keeps par pursuers on their toes with water hazards, sand traps, and geysers disguised as holes. Flit about the golfscape in style in one of the course's carts, and practice your long game in bucket-long increments at the driving range.
The 18-hole course at Chapel Hill guides golfers along lush fairways framed by dense tree lines and confronted by water on 11 holes. Six holes—beginning with No. 1—demand precise course-management skills when navigating shots around the stream that cuts through their fairways, demanding that players lay up, muscle their shots over, or swap their golf ball out for a beach ball. Laid end-to-end, the course measures 6,089 yards from the blue tees, the farthest of four available for play on each hole.
Course at a Glance: * 18-hole, par 70 course * Total length of 6,089 yards from the back tees * Course rating of 69.7 from the back tees * Course slope of 125 from the back tees * Four sets of tees per hole
In the 1930s, Prohibition-era bootlegger Max Hassel was blacklisted by a Pennsylvania country club due to his illicit wheeling-and-dealing?so he took matters into his own hands. Hassel commissioned Sir Robert White, a renowned Scottish course designer, to craft a 9-hole course on his Robeson Township estate, where no one could deny him access. Though it's received several upgrades since its original construction, the 2,934-yard, par 36 course still bears the characteristics of links-style golf, with intricately contoured greens, deep bunkers, and blotches of thick rough that punish inaccurate play.

SAM BATES is fully focused on securing a long-term future with the club, having enjoyed a taste of First Utility Super League action in recent weeks.
The 18-year-old front-rower made his first-grade debut last month and appeared from the bench, on Sunday, as Francis Cummins' men powered past Warrington Wolves at The Provident Stadium.
Halifax-born Bates, who is being proudly sponsored by Jennifer Bennison, has enjoyed his stint in the top flight and is hoping to see plenty more of it in the weeks, months and years ahead.
He said: "I really want to earn a full-time contract here. Since Marc Green has come in and the ownership issues have been resolved, the atmosphere surrounding the club has been so much better.
"I want to play in as many games as possible this year and keep training hard. I want to fight with the rest of the lads to ensure the Bulls retain their Super League status.
"I believe I can progress here as a player and now we have put together a string of victories, things are really looking up.
"I would love to do go on and have a big season next year.
"We might have had a bad spell but now we have pulled out a few good performances, I know we are capable of it week in, week out.
"The team has really pulled together despite the adversity it has faced. The mood in camp is great at this is a fantastic place to be.
"We believe we can overcome anyone, on our day.
"These are exciting times and everyone is relishing the prospect of St Helens on Sunday.
"We were the underdogs last weekend and we will be the underdogs, once again, this weekend.
"But we are not the type of team to let that faze us. There are plenty of reasons to be optimistic."
Tickets for Sunday's visit of the Saints are available, priced at £20 (adults), £15 (concessions), £15 (students) and £10 (juniors).

Nike Elite Digital Ink Revolutionizes The Printing Process
Move over sneakers, because socks have just gotten a lot more interesting. That's because Nike has revolutionized the printing process in order to create socks that are just as vibrant as the sneakers that go with them.
The new Nike Elite Digital Ink process empowers designers to emblazon the Nike Elite sock with high-definition graphics and a myriad of colors that neither distort or fade. The process also maintains the key elements that make up the Nike Elite Sock: sweat-wicking, support and impact protection.
For its first colorway, the Nike Elite Digital Ink sock will celebrate the CMYK printing process, which stands for the four most popular colors used in the printing process. Called "First Edition," the sock will feature cyan, magenta, yellow and key drip effects, distortions, geometric patterns and typeface.
The Nike Elite Digital Ink sock "First Edition" will drop June 21 exclusively online. Only 2,014 pairs will be sold, so don't sleep.

President Obama and family expected to vacation in Chilmark
President Obama and his family will return to Chilmark for their summer family vacation, The Times has learned. Though not confirmed by the White House, the Obamas are expected to stay in a four-bedroom house valued at $7.6 million with an attached two-bedroom guesthouse on Snail Road, off South Road and surrounded by woodlands.
Friday, a White House official confirmed that the president and Ms. Obama will travel to Martha's Vineyard on Saturday, August 10. They will remain on the Vineyard until Sunday, August 18, when they will return to Washington. The White House said there are no public events scheduled at this time.
David M. Schulte, owner of the only house on Snail Road and an adjoining lot, said in a telephone call with The Times that he knew nothing about a presidential visit. Mr. Schulte said he had heard the Obamas would stay in Farm Neck in Oak Bluffs.
Mr. Schulte is the founder and managing partner of Chilmark Partners, a Chicago-based corporate finance and restructuring advisory company. The former editor-in-chief of the Yale Law Journal, before founding Chilmark Partners, Mr. Schulte created and ran Salomon Brothers Corporate Reorganization Group.
There has been no confirmation by the White House of where the president will stay.
Mr. Obama and his family have vacationed in Chilmark every year since his 2008 election, except for 2012, when he was campaigning for re-election.
The official announcement Friday of a presidential Island vacation confirmed the rumors that have swirled here for months. On an Island where word gets around quickly, it was no secret that the Secret Service had begun laying the groundwork for the Obamas' return.
In 2009, 2010, and 2011, the Obamas rented Blue Heron Farm in Chilmark, a 28.5-acre compound on Town Cove off Tisbury Great Pond. The house was sold in December 2011 to an architect, Lord Norman Foster, and his wife, Lady Elena Foster, of Thames Bank in Great Britain.
If past presidential vacations hint at future performance, the Obamas will continue to do what many vacationing families do when they are here. The will go to the beach while dad plays golf, bike, hike, and enjoy dinner with friends.
The Obama vacation falls during one of the busiest times of the summer. In addition to the annual Agricultural Fair, the Oak Bluffs fireworks, and Campground Illumination night, the Boston Globe reports that Harry Belafonte will perform at an invitation only event at Dreamland theater in Oak Bluffs, on August 12, an event that's being organized by Charles Ogletree, Mr. Obama's former professor at Harvard Law School.
Doesn't President Barack Obama and his family deserve some measure of privacy for their family vacation? Is it really necessary to publish the (obviously) exact address where they will stay on Island? Perhaps we could support their security needs instead? In fact, not so long ago, this choice would have been routinely considered, "the Vineyard way" — that is before shallow yet pervasive greed, ego, hype, and celebrity eclipsed respecting and caring for one another, while enjoying and celebrating the natural beauty of the Island. Maybe it's time to examine what has been sacrificed along the way? This is an opportunity to do precisely that.
After the Snowden affair the only ones that need privacy is the American Citizen from the Patriot Act.
Big Brother. Watching you since 1984.
Actually, in America, since the 1940s. There is nothing new about this information. In fact, watch Tony Scott's 1998 film, "Enemy of the State" for the same detail.
"Enemy of the State":
They didn't have the internet back then. I find it an invasion of privacy when Yahoo, Facebook, Aol sell our government for 250 each our private Email accounts….Verizon don't charge anything.I guess that's 1 way these companies can make some quick cash.
It's been nearly a month since the last $100 Million African vacay…
Good sleuthing! The basketball court nails it!
You see, that's the point. The Vineyard has traditionally been known as a place of community love, peace, and understanding. It's a place where notable individuals — including the president of the United States of America — can visit and RELAX. They can be themselves, out of the fishbowl of their regular lives, and be rejuvenated by the Island community and the natural beauty around them. The rule of thumb is live and let live — and THAT is the extraordinary uniqueness of the experience of visiting here.
In fact, POTUS and his family are entitled to a personal family vacation. He is also entitled to privacy, both because of his rather important position, and because he is a human being. Unlike other previous presidents, Barack Obama is not a former oil tycoon personally owning multiple vacation residences in which to spend his time off. Camp David is an extension of the White House, and, by definition, any American presidential trip to a foreign nation is NOT a vacation. This president, more than any other, has been challenged by the most extreme and simultaneous national and international geopolitical crises ever recorded in our country's history. It is important that the president of the United States of America is well rested and rejuvenated to address his massive responsibilities. It seems reasonable that any rational American would agree to this fact, yes? For obvious reasons, he and his family also deserve significant privacy. That's how life rolls on Martha's Vineyard. If you were posting from the Island, you'd know that. President Barack Obama and his family are most welcome on Martha's Vineyard because we are PROUD of them and GRATEFUL to them for the incalculable sacrifices they make each and every day on behalf of ALL Americans. They have EARNED their family's rest and peace. That's the nature of love, peace, and understanding after all, isn't it?
We are proud of them? Please ma'am speak for yourself. It is fine that you feel this way but do not for a moment believe that all Americans feel the way that you do. By the way, I do not believe that he has handled any "crisis" well at all. You are truly looking at things through a set of blurred glasses. Most Americans are tired of being preached to by politicians that tell us how to live our lives while they do as they please because they feel entitled to.
Why is this newsworthy?
Bush may have taken more time off, but it was in the middle of nowhere and probably didn't cost the taxpayer as much….
you don't get to determine what's good enough or where POTUS vacations. Your comment 'why they don't go to their home in Chicago' has an un-welcomed tone. Check yourself.
Like ALL US Presidents Mr Obama gets SS wherever he goes. The fact that you don't like him doesn't change anything. Get over yourself.
Chicago is as hot as hell in the summer! Have you ever been there? (To Chicago, I mean.)

This past month Nutiva CEO John W Roulac headed to South America to meet some of our farmers and workers who grow our organic Chia. Nutiva is working hard to keep up with the surging demand for this ancient Aztec superfood. While our warehouse was bulging with container loads of Chia seed this fall, demand has outstripped our supply very quickly in the fall. Dr. Oz's recent TV episode really boosted nationwide interest in Chia! As the leading supplier of organic Chia in the world, Nutiva is also focused on insuring the communities which supply the might seed also benefit. As part of his fact-finding trip John asked the a few of the local people and farmers what they needed to improve their quality of life. Out of this Nutiva is focusing on three important community projects: • Solar Lantern Project - Bringing renewable sun energy into rural people's homes can replace the dangerous kerosene lamps that can blow over from winds and catch fire. In fact, 5 homes in our Chia-growing region have had fires in the past year. Solar lanterns provide bright light at night and are re-charged during the day by placing them in the path of the sun. • Local Fruit Trees - While communities do benefit from jobs by growing organic Chia for export, we want to encourage more local food production. John Roulac noticed in walking the fields that there were many small strips of land next to the irrigation canals where a few fruit trees were already growing. So he has come up with the idea to supply up to 12 fruit trees free of charge to the dozens of Chia farmers for planting in what is now unusable land because it's uneven or too small an area to grow row crops. The trees we plan to help plant and can be consumed by the farmers family or friends, or sold at the local markets will include orange, lemon, coconuts, mango, and tamarind. • Water Projects - Many rural peoples in Peru do not have access to running water in their homes and thus walk long distances to obtain water. The goal is to put together a plan to drill for water and to have the water pumped to some of the homes.
Nutiva's support of these vital projects is our way of demonstrating our core mission of Nourishing People and Planet. (Find out more about the Nutiva 1% Donation Program here.) Commerce is a powerful tool in shaping outcomes in the world. Thanks to Nutiva's customers and fans to allow us to continue our good work to source and provide healthy and organic foods from hemp,coconut, and Chia superfoods. Chia seed has come a long way since being banned by the Spanish back in the 1500's. While the tiny seed is better know in the USA for the Ch, Ch, Chi, Chia pet craze back in the 1980's, its nutritional wonders are just now being discovered. Chia is a rich source of healthy Omega-3 good fats, fiber, and protein. It swells to 9X its weight in water and makes a great addition to everything from oatmeal to smoothies to Chia fresco drinks.

NARF Publications | Press Releases | March 15, 2002
March 15, 2002 For Further Information Contact: John Echohawk, (303) 447-8760 A MATTER OF TRUST: THE CASE OF COBELL v. NORTON SYMPOSIUM, GONZAGA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW, MARCH 26, 2002 The highly-publicized class action suit filed by Elouise Cobell, a member of the Blackfeet Nation, versus Gail Norton, Secretary, Department of the Interior, alleges the squandering of billions of dollars of lease, royalty, and other payments due individual Indian land owners for use of their lands. United States District Court Judge Royce Lamberth found that the Department of the Interior breached its fiduciary duties by its massive and long-standing mismanagement of the Individual Indian Money (IIM) Account system. Recently, the Court conducted contempt proceedings focusing upon the actions of the Defendants. Elouise Cobell tells her story and describes the events leading to the filing of the Class Action and her experiences during the litigation. Plaintiffs lead attorney, Dennis M. Gingold, Washington, D.C., a nationally recognized banking attorney, presents the Plaintiffs case, discusses the elements of the contempt proceedings, and projects the future prospects for the litigation effort. A panel of experts debate questions of justice, ethics, and discernment for attorneys and citizens alike that arise from the case. Fr. Dan Powers, SJ moderates the group discussion that includes the views of the Honorable Sandra K. Watts, a judge dealing with Indian probates, and Fr. David Myers, SJ, experienced with issues affecting the Tribal members in Arizona. Dennis M. Gingold concludes the program by describing the requested remedy: the appointment of a receivership for a full accounting of the individual Indian trust accounts for over 500,000 beneficiaries; and the creation of a trust management system that protects the trust funds of the individual Indian beneficiaries. The Symposium is free to the public and will be held at Gonzaga University Law School, 721 N. Cincinnati, Spokane, Washington, in the Barbieri Courtroom from 9:00 a.m.4:00 p.m., Tuesday, March 26, 2002. Attorneys desiring CLE credit must register by 5:00 p.m., March twenty-first. For further information, please contact Bonnie White, Gonzaga University School of Law, at 509-323-5791. |
