SILVER SPRING, Md, September 23, 2012 ― Having a vomiting baby is not fun for you and usually scary for baby.They do not know what is happening to them, so add that confusion to the normal unpleasantness to complete the sick baby picture. The first time your baby throws up, you may panic, especially if your baby is very young or you have a typically healthy child. However, not all vomiting requires a trip to the emergency room.
There is also a difference between vomiting and spit-up. Most babies spit up as newborns before their digestive track is fully capable of keeping all that milk down. Spitting-up can be separated from vomiting by the effort it takes. Spit-up is usually effortless, and comes shortly after eating. Vomiting on the other hand takes effort and your baby will be visibly in distress. Think about the last time you threw-up. It is a whole body endeavor. Sometimes you ache so much you feel like you had gotten in an ab work-out. When your baby has transitioned to solid food, spit-up usually slows until it stops altogether. In the cases of chronic spit-up or painful spit-up in young children, you should take your baby to see his doctor to rule out a more serious digestive problem.
Once you have identified that your baby is in fact vomiting, as disgusting as it sounds, you need to examine the vomit visually. What color is it? Are there any blood streaks? Does it appear to have coffee grounds in it? How much is there? These are all important questions your doctor may have for you. Some things that require immediate medical attention and should warrant an immediate trip to the emergency room are coffee-ground-like blood in the vomit and a green color to the bile (digestive fluid), or if his abdomen is swollen and it hurts him when you apply gentle pressure. These are signs of serious digestive problems that require immediate medical attention. If any of these signs occur you may also want to take a sample of the vomit in a baggy with you to the emergency room for doctors to test.
Not all vomiting requires attention from your doctor, but the first time your child throws-up you should consult your doctor to make sure you are not overlooking something more serious. Access your baby's overall condition. Look for any other symptoms that you might need to inform your doctor of, including fever, diarrhea, rash, and change in skin tone.
As scary as it sounds, small streaks of blood in the vomit may not be serious. Tiny tears in the lining of the digestive track can form under the effort and stress of vomiting. However, it does require a trip to the pediatrician to ensure nothing more sinister is lurking. Similarly, if your child has been vomiting for more than 24-hours, cannot stop vomiting, appears to have yellowing skin or eyes, is becoming listless or is going longer than usual between wet diapers, it is time to call the doctor.
Dehydration is a major concern with sick children, especially those who are vomiting or have diarrhea. Anyone who is sick can easily become dehydrated, but it is especially easy for young children to lose too many fluids. Signs of dehydration can include reduced frequency or amount of urination, tearless crying, reduced saliva, listlessness, sunken eyes, and sunken fontanels (the soft spot on the top of infants' heads). If you suspect dehydration, call your doctor immediately.
To prevent dehydration, try giving your baby an electrolyte replacement drink, such as Pedialyte, after vomiting or diarrhea. After baby's stomach has been calm for a half hour, start with a teaspoon of fluid. If he can keep it down give him another teaspoon every 20-30 minutes.
Finally, if you suspect the vomiting may be related to swallowing something poisonous, contact poison control immediately. However, the best treatment for poisoning is prevention. While keeping chemicals and cleaners in locked cabinets and out-of-reach of tiny hands is the best course to prevent accidental poisoning, all parents should keep the phone number for the poison control center easily accessible in case of an accident.
Vomitting may be a sign of a simple 24-hour virus, a bacterial infection, or a digestive issue. It is important to make sure your child gets proper medical attention for his illness, but it is not always a need for panic. Remember, staying calm yourself will help you baby feel more at ease despite not feeling well.

1 x 40g (35mL) tube
PLUS flavors contain Fluoride.
Caution: People with MILK PROTEIN allergies should NOT use this or any other product containing Recaldent as Recaldent is derived from milk.
Natural saliva contains calcium, phosphate, and fluoride which in combination with certain salivary protein help to strengthen tooth enamel and defend against plaque acid by replenishing these minerals which are lost from the tooth surface during demineralization. Demineralization occurs in the presence of acid foods/drink, cavity causing bacteria and tooth bleaching. Saliva actually remineralizes the tooth surface.
GC MI Paste is a one-of-a-kind product that restores minerals and helps you produce saliva. It is the only dental product with RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP), a special milk-derived protein that is a breakthrough in oral health care in helping to remineralize teeth. MI Paste with Recaldent uniquely delivers this calcium and phosphate to the surface of teeth as well as surrounding soft tissue surfaces to promote oral health. Recaldent™ supplements the calcium and phosphate loss from saliva during the normal acidic digestive process. It also soothes any sensitive surfaces on teeth.
RECALDENT™ (CPP-ACP) – Bio-available Calcium and Phosphate:
Contains RECALDENT (CPP-ACP). Casein Phosphopeptide (CPP) are natural occurring molecules which are able to bind calcium and phosphate ions and stabilize Amorphous Calcium Phosphate (ACP).
Adheres easily to soft tissue, pellicle, plaque and even hydroxyapatite. Reacts similar to the mineral/statherin relation in saliva supplying bio-available calcium and phosphate required for remineralization to take place.
Under acidic conditions, RECALDENT (CPP-ACP) releases calcium and phosphate ions into tooth enamel.
Supplies calcium and phosphate needed for patients with poor saliva flow. This situation can be further augmented by elevating the level of fluoride.
Topical Paste:
Water-based, sugar-free topical creme with a special blend of polishing, cleaning and dentina tubule sealing agents.
Flavors: melon, mint, strawberry, tutti frutti and vanilla.
MI Paste with RECALDENT (CPP-ACP) fortifies your teeth to keep your smile vibrant for a lifetime.
I tried both Vanilla and Tutti Frutti, and Tutti Frutti just tasted like the vanilla with a bit of banana and maybe light melon flavor in it. The vanilla is really subtle.
After using it in the evening, I noticed a dry mouth in the morning, but that could be just because I was trying not to swallow the remaining fluoride left in my mouth.
I find results are best when left on from 1/2 hour or more. My teeth feel stronger when I bite, and are brighter. I haven't noticed any painful sensitivity in my teeth after sweets since I've been using it. That's awesome.
I've been using this paste for 2 months and I have tried both the regular and "Plus" versions, and I have to say I didn't notice much difference between them with their effect on my teeth.
I came across this product after hearing about a similar, but faster-acting Paste-Application they use in Japan to whiten and strengthen teeth by remineralization at the FAP dental institute. I decided to give this a try first, before jetting off to Tokyo.
I wish they didn't sweeten it with Sodium Saccharin. That's the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars.
By Jessica from Vancouver Canada on 05-03-12
This paste is awesome!! It is not really to brush your teeth with. You can, and have some benefit but you are losing a lot of product and benefit if you brush and rinse it out.
It is really made to use in dental trays to stay in contact with your teeth , it actually replenishes the enamel on your teeth and even feed calcium through the gum and can help your gums and jawbone.
So it's great to use after any dental treatmenst esp whitening. You don't have to use a tray but it's more effective that way. I usually use it by smearing or brushing on at night and leaving it on. The longer it is in contact with your teeth the better.
It is great for sensitive teeth. It does not just block the pain it seals up the weakness in the tooth and makes it stronger.
If you grind your teeth this would be good, if you are cavity prone this is great. If you are whitening your teeth this is great! I think you get the picture.
If you have a tooth pulled for an implant the bioactive calcium will be good for your jaw bone before during and after the implant.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Gabe!
Facts about Gabe
- Breed: Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Black
- Age: Young
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
Gabe's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, and good with dogs.
Gabriel, "Gabe" is a young energetic black lab; he absolutely loves to play with his toys. Gabriel is completely housebroken and very mannerly. He walks amazing on a leash, loves car rides, and does fantastic with other dogs. Gabriel was rescued from a high kill shelter in West TN. Gabriel is light heartworm positive, but don't let that make you overlook him, he will make a full recovery. Gabriel is absolutely the biggest sweetheart. He will take his love and support to anyone
This pet is being fostered in Knoxville TN. Our orphans are delivered to the northeast every Saturday via USDA certified transport and come fully vetted with health certificates. All adoptions are tax deductible and include transport fees.
If you are interested in one of our orphans or learning more about our adoption process, please email us. Our pets are listed in 10 different locations/states. To help us better serve you, please indicate your location in your inquiry. email@example.com

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Gabe, a Manchester Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in Manchester, or seeking a Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in Manchester.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Manchester already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Manchester breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Manchester paves the way for another one to be saved.

So let the makeover begin. More being more, the LS7 gets the party started by adding a full liter of displacement, making for 7.0 liters or 428 cubic inches (as against the LS2's once-impressive-sounding 364 cubes). It's a number, Chevy engineers say, that may well mark the upper limit on how much displacement the small-block can handle, although the overall pattern ought to be clear to all by now. Somehow, they will top the LS7 for the next Z06, with a trickle-down effect on the standard car. If the recent formula holds true, the base model will get the outgoing Z06's horsepower allowance, meaning the stock C7 ought to be good for at least 500 hp. "Where will it all end?" asked Tadge Juetchter, assistant chief engineer for the Corvette, over dinner one night. He was being ironic. I think.
Underneath all the computer and injection hardware beats a textbook lesson in old school, a pushrod engine with but one intake and one exhaust valve for each of its eight cylinders. However, the giant (2.2 inches) size of the intakes makes heavy breathing mandatory, and the eighteen-gallon fuel tank drains quickly if one honks an LS7 too hard. Yet the Z06 can also return more than 26 mpg on the highway, and, unusual for a supercar, its owners pay no gas-guzzler penalty on their purchase, an impossible luxury in a machine with this much performance.
High-capacity, dry-sump lubrication is a must when one considers the high g's the Z06 is capable of creating, as well as its likely exposure to hard and competition use. It's one costly line item on the LS7 build sheet. The quest for low reciprocating mass and maximum strength dictates several others. Connecting rods made of titanium weigh 30 percent less than the LS2's steel units. The intake valves are titanium, too; exhaust valves, made of steel, are sodium filled. The LS7 gets six-bolt, forged-steel main bearing caps, and a forged-steel crankshaft. As the final measure of its seriousness and exclusivity, each one is screwed together by hand at GM's Performance Build Center in Michigan and then signed by its builder.
Bigger brakes with six-piston calipers, heavy-duty cooling, the dry-sump system with its higher oil capacity and additional piping, a more robust rear axle, and larger three-inch dual exhausts with beefier quad pipes out the back all serve to complete the high-performance picture, but all contribute additional mass. Even moving the battery to the rear for better weight distribution adds pounds, because it necessitates running a cable to the front of the car.
Yet all of these vital weight-adding technologies make the best sense possible in the Z06 thanks to an aluminum frame. With some of the same hydroform dies used for the base car, the frame rails simply become thicker (four millimeters of aluminum as against two millimeters of steel) to retain stiffness while shedding weight. So revolutionary is this use of hydroform dies, Hill told us, that engineers from Boeing have visited to check it out. Better yet, it removes 136 pounds of mass from a Z06.
A lightweight-materials showroom to start with, the 505-hp car accordingly ends up weighing slightly less than the humble 400-hp car with which Chevy began. Fiberglass-the stuff of all Corvettes from time immemorial-is light compared with steel, but the Z06 gets carbon-fiber front fenders, which weigh one-third of the base car fender's weight and one-fifth of what a similarly shaped steel fender might weigh. The costly carbon fiber appears in wheelhouses and in the floor (once again wrapped around a balsa core). Hood, doors, roof, and hatch are shared with the base car.
There are many subtle and not so subtle visual aerodynamic addenda-ducts, fairings, splitters, and spoilers-which serve two useful functions: keeping the car earthbound and helping the committed Z06 spotter. For everyone else, there's a Z06 badge at the rear. Collectively, the aero handiwork raises the car's coefficient of drag to 0.34 from 0.28, but in a 198-mph car, you'd want it no other way. And, of course, 505 hp is another telling clue to the Z06's identity. You won't need to ask twice which Vette that was when one goes sailing past you.
The key to it all, said Corvette leader Hill, is the power-to-weight ratio, "the most important metric in ranking supercar performance." With the car weighing 3147 pounds, each Z06 horsepower must accommodate 6.2 pounds, and you know how little 6.2 pounds troubles a horse.

Thick or Thin
The vows to support each other through thick and thin, sickness and health sound old-fashioned. And perhaps they are, but I'm touched to see them honored years after they were made.
My parents have been married for 57 years, and this week in Cocoa Beach, Florida, I watched my dad pushing my mom in a wheelchair that she will need for the rest of her life. I think of the five baby carriages my mom has pushed. Now it's her turn to be pushed. I am struck by my dad's profound patience—and deep sadness. He has watched diabetes and the resulting lymphedema and neuropathy leave her in pure agony and take away her ability to walk.
But it's thick and thin, sickness and health.
I see photos of my dad on their wedding day, in awe of his wife, who with her svelte figure and rosy cheeks looked like Elizabeth Taylor. There is still awe in my dad's eyes for his Peggy even 57 years, five kids and 100 or so pounds later. They've had each other's back through illness and loss—and now her legs are shot. Maybe rehab will heal them enough that she can use a walker and go home again, maybe not.
Diabetes has the power to take away mobility, serenity and life. I live with a healthy fear of it, and on the top of my to-do list every day is Prevention.
Read Prevention's 12 tips on how to prevent diabetes.
Check out this simple and educational video that lets you know what is happening in the body of a diabetic.

Partially due to NPR's investment, the show's audience did grow steadily. Between 2011 through present day, the show's audience increased by an impressive 42 percent, NPR representatives said. But despite NPR's best efforts, Tell Me More never broke even, let alone paid for itself. With NPR footing the bill, too few member stations willing to air it, and those that did only having to pay discounted carriage fees, Tell Me More steadily lost money for NPR, to the tune of $1.5 million annually, according to the organization's records. As more and more of the stations that did carry the show moved it to evening hours, NPR decided it was economically unfeasible to continue putting money into it. Only two stations in the top 20 markets that carry Tell Me More carry it at the time it is broadcast, NPR's Wilson said. "Most other stations pushed it into evening hours when listenership is typically much smaller," skewing older and more male, an NPR spokeswoman said. Meanwhile, the show's target audience are people of color.
Former and current public radio executives said that stations have failed historically to promote shows with black hosts. Before Tell Me More, there was The Tavis Smiley Show with host Tavis Smiley, then News & Notes with Ed Gordon, who was followed by Farai Chideya and then Tony Cox as hosts. And before that, The Derek McGinty Show aired from 1991-1998. All three shows failed.
NPR's own David Folkenflik reported late last month that Tavis Smiley took his popular radio show to a rival network over clashes with NPR over how much money it spent marketing his program, which launched in 2002 but went off the air two years later. But the pattern started before then, when stations dropped The Derek McGinty Show in favor of The Diane Rehm Show.
"That was the beginning of when you could see where they were coming from," said a former NPR member station manager who didn't want his name used because he still works in the industry. "They kept the old, white woman, but dropped the black man. And they promoted her show, which made a big difference."
Tell Me More had to build most of its audience through word of mouth, insiders said. Though public radio has never done much promotion for its programming, there are low-cost tricks that can help build a brand, such as using social media. NPR capitalized on its Twitter and Facebook followings with Tell Me More, but member stations did very little, if any, promotion for the show and did not promote it during the tentpole shows, Morning Edition and All Things Considered, according to one insider.
"My personal view is that in public radio many of us are sometimes reluctant to promote ourselves and our programs beyond our own airwaves. I don't think we can continue this way if we want to grow or even maintain our audiences," said LaFontaine Oliver, one of a handful of black general managers over NPR member stations across the country.
And audience has to know when the show is airing. Herein lies the crux of the reason NPR is canceling Tell Me More, officials said. If member stations refused to air a show live, or at least during peak hours, there is nothing NPR can do about it.
NPR officials insist money was not the deciding factor in canceling Tell Me More. "It was a strategic decision to take the show off the air and create an editorial team around Michel Martin so her vision and the type of stories she covered on TMM can reach listeners through multiple platforms," said an NPR spokeswoman via email. "This approach reflects the changes in our newsgathering operation and in the media landscape since the show was created. Ten years ago, we were focused on getting mass reach; in the current fragmented media landscape it is equally important to develop smaller and very engaged audiences around niche shows."
Spreading resources over multiple platforms rather than investing primarily in shows as primary units would infuse existing programs with more diverse content in the way NPR's Code Switch currently does, minus the blog. But it will likely do little to expand NPR's reach in attracting new audiences. Most NPR listeners still come primarily through broadcast, so shows remain the most effective unit for reaching large numbers of people—maintaining a dependence on member stations' programming and promotion decisions. At least for now, if there's not going to be cooperation and a combined effort by both NPR and member stations, then new, diverse voices are unlikely to receive wide pickup.
Not even if they're as thoughtful as the ones that filled Tell Me More.

At a time when historians are increasingly displacing nation-building as the purpose for knowing the past, it could seem a retrograde step to make this the foundation principle through which to showcase important works of art.

Australian Impressionists in France Caroline Jordan The National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) has offered a number of Impressionist blockbusters over 2012-13: Monet's Garden, Radiance: the Neo-Impressionists and now Australian Impressionists in France. Given its present ubiquity in our state gallery, it is well to remember that when Impressionism debuted in France in the 1870s and 1880s it was considered to be beyond the pale of official patronage. Impressionism offended by rejecting the mythological, classical or historical subject matter of academic painting, replacing it with such unimportant things as dance halls,…

What started out in 2004 as a four-year enterprise to liberate the landmark building, built in 1885 by the Dutch Neo-Gothic architect Pierre Cuypers, from its later additions, turned out to be a lengthy and very expensive story of endless delays and complications. This led to heated discussions in the national media on several issues. The Spanish architects of the refurbishment, Cruz y Ortiz, were especially…
Exhibition Review | Monet's Garden at the National Gallery of Victoria. Reviewed by David R. Marshall
by MelbourneArtNetwork • • 6 Comments
The latest NGV exhibition is, again, sourced largely from a secondary French museum (the Musée Marmottan Monet, henceforth MMM). Monet exhibitions have traditionally draw large crowds, and are much loved by gallery directors needing to feed the political machines to which they are beholden that equate numbers with success. But if 'Monet' is the brand of brands for art exhibitions, for organisers there is the problem of finding new ways to give a Monet show intellectual credibility and thematic coherence, while marketeers may feel the need to enrich a brand that runs the risk of becoming stale. And, given the economics of international exhibitions in Australia, the bulk of the works need to come from a single source. Hence Monet's Garden.
'Monet's Garden' is an idea rich in possibilities: it connects cultural tourism (a trip to Giverny) with high-art glorification of artistic genius. While previous NGV exhibitions have emphasised, through videos, places associated with the objects on display (notably the Musée Moreau in the Moreau exhibition and Malmaison with Napoleon), Monet's Garden takes the place/artwork nexus one step further. I once taught a subject in art history on the history of gardens called Visions of Paradise: Art of the Garden, a title stolen from a picture book by Marina Schinz, and did a week on Monet and Giverny. One of the essay questions was whether Monet was a better gardener than painter. This generated some interesting responses. By asking this question one is forced to look at his Giverny paintings differently: as topographical painting, subordinate to the place represented, rather than a this-is-a-work-of-genius painting. It is quite intriguing, after studying the now well-known colour photos of Monet in his garden nearest the house (e.g. pp. xxiv-xxv of the catalogue) (Fig. 1), to be able to identity what the paintings actually represent. The strength of Impressionism was that it accepted the facts and went from there, so that its underpinning of visual factuality is there if you choose to look. A visit to the waterlily pond at Giverny makes you realise that his Nymphéas paintings are much more realistic than you had thought when you saw them in a gallery (Figs. 3, 14). This helps us to see Monet differently: as the last of the estate topographers, rather than as a wannabee modernist abstractionist.

Emergency Response to Diabetes
Five thousand feet above a city besieged by water, you feel very small. A devastated New Orleans smoked from chemical explosions and other rolling disasters. To say it seemed like a war zone is not quite complete. Our small jet banked slowly, and I realized that as far as I could see, I could not see the end of it.
During that low flyover, just five days after Katrina's landfall, I couldn't help but think of those fighting for their lives and their family's survival—and at the same time trying to manage a chronic disease or serious health condition. We had come on a mission, one still ongoing, to bring help and support to the hurting and desperate.
'Diabetic! Need Help!'
Even now, many weeks later, I'm sure you remember the images we all saw on the news. The people on one rooftop who had spray-painted "Diabetic! Need Help!" to signal rescuers. In another, a woman wandered the flooded New Orleans streets crying out for insulin. And there was the woman who went into a diabetic coma-like state, live on camera during an interview.
Four days after the crisis began, I found myself on a plane with Rep. Curt Weldon (RPennsylvania), headed for "Katrina Ground Zero." My mission was to find distribution details for diabetes supplies and support services. In those few short hours since the disaster began, diabetes companies, professionals and patients alike came together to help those in need. At that time, more than $3 million in supplies and resources had been donated and were awaiting instructions for delivery.
Although the mission seems simple, it proved to be daunting. The red tape, the bureaucracy, the chaotic nature of disaster management, all played their part.
After eight hours of meetings, I had a temporary distribution location. Twenty-four hours later, a refrigerated warehouse had been identified and traveling medical centers created.
Diabetes and Disasters—What Can We Do?
The situation got me wondering, how can we help those affected by diabetes prepare for disasters? What do people with diabetes need to do to remain safe in an emergency?
As I traveled with Rep. Weldon, who also has diabetes, we discussed these questions. One potential solution is legislation.
An effort to make sure that insurance companies allow patients to always have an adequate supply of medications on hand in case of an emergency. Along with that, a standardized notification system is needed so that patients are aware that it is time to reorder supplies so that their buffer supply is not depleted.
But legislative change takes time, and in the meantime, we need to prepare by creating our own diabetes emergency kits. Extra batteries for meters and pumps, extra test strips, glucose tablets, drinking water, nonperishable foods, oral medications, syringes and at least one bottle of insulin should always be readily available. I have packed up my kit and feel a little more prepared. In the midst of the physical and emotional chaos of a disaster like Hurricane Katrina, planning ahead is essential. It's planning that will help create at least a little peace of mind amidst disaster.

USS New Jersey
The Navy announced July 21, 2000, that Secretary of the Navy Richard Danzig signed the donation contract officially transferring the historic battleship New Jersey (BB 62) to the Home Port Alliance for USS NEW JERSEY Inc. in Camden.
Built at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, the New Jersey was commissioned on May 23, 1943, and saw active service from 1944-1948, 1950-1957, and 1968-1969. After undergoing modernization, she was recommissioned in 1982, serving almost nine more years and demonstrating global U.S. naval presence as part of the Multinational Peacekeeping Force in Beirut, Lebanon, and in developments to the Eastern Mediterranean and Western Pacific.
Beyond her imposing size, the "Big J" has an impressive record of service to her country, winning many awards for the noteworthy actions of her crew, including sixteen battle stars - nine in World War II, four during the Korean War, and three during the Vietnam War - as well as two Navy Unit Commendations, eight service medals and eight service ribbons.
The Navy donates ships as a way of preserving naval history and tradition, educating the public, and commemorating the men and women who built and sailed the vessels.
The USS New Jersey completed her final voyage home from Bremerton, Washington to the former Philadelphia Naval Ship Yard, arriving there appropriately enough, on Veterans' Day 1999. The Navy's decision to berth the Battleship permanently in Camden was announced on June 20, 2000.
The Battleship New Jersey, our Nation's most decorated battleship, is now a floating museum on the Delaware River, along the Camden Waterfront across from Center City, Philadelphia.
History comes to life as visitors experience a twohour guided tour through the Iowa - class ship, one of the largest battleships ever built. The tour takes visitors around the upper and lower sections of the Battleship complete with a multimedia room for disabled visitors.
Guided Tours are as follows:
9 AM - 3 PM October - March
9 AM - 5 PM April - September

c. if its management is evaluated not only on revenues
and expenses but also on asset investment.
d. if its operations or departments are not directly
involved in revenue generating activities, but instead focus on elements of cost
control (including choosing the source of supply).
3. The basic difference between a static budget and a flexible budget is that:
a. A
flexible budget considers only variable costs, but a static budget considers all
b. Flexible budgets allow management latitude in meeting
goals, whereas a static budget is based on a fixed standard.
c. A static budget is for an entire production facility,
but a flexible budget is applicable only to a single department.
d. A static budget is based on one specific level of
production and a flexible budget can be prepared for any production level within
a relevant range.
4. Linwood Industries prepared a flexible budget which revealed total production costs of $79,000 at an anticipated 10,000 unit activity level. Variable production costs were (per unit) $1.50 for direct materials, $3.50 for direct labor, and $0.75 for variable factory overhead. How much are total anticipated production costs in Linwood's flexible budget for an activity level of 10,800 units?
b. $62,100
c. $79,000
d. $83,600
5. Which of the following is not one of the objectives in utilizing standard costs?
To simplify costing procedures and expedite cost reports.
b. To allow management to readily determine and focus
attention on special problem areas.
c. To allow a measure of cost assuming ideal or perfect
operating conditions.
d. To provide a measure of budgeted cost for a single
unit of activity.
6. If a unit manager made a decision to purchase raw materials that were of superior quality to that which was anticipated, and this decision resulted in less spoilage than normal, the effect on the quantity and price variances, respectively, would be:
Unfavorable, unfavorable
b. Favorable, unfavorable
c. Favorable, favorable
d. Unfavorable, favorable
7. Quillen uses a single raw material in its production process. The standard price for a unit of material is $7.00. During October the company purchased and used 10,000 units of this material. The actual purchase price was $8.00 per unit. The standard quantity required per finished product is 3 units. Quillen produced 3,000 finished units of the final product in October. How much was the material price variance for October?
$3,000 favorable
b. $3,000 unfavorable
c. $9,000 unfavorable
d. $10,000 unfavorable
8. Finch produced 3,000 units of output. The production process normally requires 3 hours of labor per unit of output. The standard labor rate is $7.00 per hour, but Finch paid $6.00 per hour. Actual hours needed to complete the production process were 8,500. How much was the labor efficiency variance?
$3,000 favorable
b. $3,000 unfavorable
c. $3,500 favorable
d. $3,500 unfavorable
9. Actual direct labor at Subramaniam Tire during the month of June amounted to 14,000 hours. This compares to the standard direct labor hours for the actual output of 15,000 hours. During June, total actual variable overhead was $32,000. The standard total variable overhead application rate per standard direct labor hour was $2.25. How much was the variable overhead spending variance for June?
$500 favorable
b. $500 unfavorable

d. $2,000 unfavorable
10. Which of the following factors would be subject to evaluation in a balanced scorecard approach to performance evaluation?
Financial outcomes
b. Customer outcomes
c. Business process outcomes
d. All of the above
1. c. Responsibility accounting is a reporting system that is based on the organizational structure of a firm. The firm is divided into cost centers or segments, such as departments, plants, divisions, etc., and a manager is appointed to oversee that cost center or segment.
2. a. A profit center is a responsibility unit in which a manager is held accountable for profit. Because revenues and expenses both enter into the evaluation process, management is allowed the flexibility to make decisions regarding product delivery and product development expenditures. An investment center includes evaluation of management based not only on revenues and expenses, but also asset investment decisions. A cost center is one wherein the operations or departments are not directly involved in revenue generating activities, and management is held accountable primarily for cost control.
3. d. A static budget assumes one operating level and includes all elements of anticipated revenues and costs, whereas a flexible budget allows evaluations of anticipated costs dependent on the production level achieved. Flexible budgets include both fixed and variable elements. Flexible budgets do not really allow latitude in cost incurrence, but instead make cost incurrence a function of revenues and production levels achieved. A flexible budget can be prepared for an entire production facility.
4. d. $83,600
Activity Levels |
Cost Per Unit |
10,000 | 10,800 | |
Direct materials | $1.50 | $15,000 | $16,200 |
Direct labor | $3.50 | 35,000 | 37,800 |
Variable overhead | $0.75 | 7,500 | 8,100 |
Fixed factory overhead | 21,500 | 21,500 | |
Total production costs | $79,000 | $83,600 |
5. c. Standard costs are not necessarily developed assuming ideal conditions. Standards may be based on currently attainable objectives (presuming a normal amount of operating inefficiency related to scrap, waste, spoilage, and the like). The other statements are all true.
6. b. Because less material was used, the quantity variance would be favorable. However, the goods were probably acquired at higher than anticipated prices, resulting in an unfavorable price variance.
7. d. $10,000 unfavorable. Quillen paid $1.00 per unit above the standard cost and purchased 10,000 units of material. Stated differently, the actual quantity purchased at the actual price was $80,000. The actual quantity purchased at the standard price would have cost $70,000, for a $10,000 unfavorable difference.
8. c. $3,500 favorable. The standard hours required to produce 3,000 units at 3 hours per unit would be 9,000 hours. Finch only needed 8,500 to achieve this production level, resulting in a 500 hour savings. 500 hours at $7.00 per hour (standard labor rate) results in a $3,500 favorable variance.
9. b The variable overhead spending variance is $500 unfavorable as shown below:
10. d. With the balanced scorecard approach, an array of performance measurements are developed. Each indicator should be congruent with the overall entity objectives. Further, each measure should be easily determined and understood. These measurements can relate to financial outcomes, customer outcomes, or business process outcomes.

Mar 30th 2012 11:19AM Is the Pet Battle available in the beta at all? I'm not curious about the actual combat, but more for the following questions:
Blizz said that the pets will be account bound. Does it mean we get access to the same pets every time? If I play on one pet with my main, it levels up, log onto an alt, can the alt use that same pet with that updated new level?
And how does the conversion from current pets will work? If I have several alts each with a teldrassil sproutling, will I get one copy or several copies of those? (I hope several, since I've spent a LOT of argent champion seals for these). But I understand if it's things like Core Hound Pup or Onyxian Whelpling that's account bound, I should only get one per account.
Also, will they be transferrable to another player / sellable to AH as Blizz said they would? For example, I can give it to a friend to level it up over the weekend, maybe in return of some gold for the time he takes to level it up.

Mazda Millenia Auto Shipping Rate
The Millenia does not have a predecessor or replacement in the Mazda product line. It is one of a kind. The Mazda Millenia was originally planned as the larger of two luxury cars for Mazda's luxury brand, Amati. As Mazda's dwindling finances no longer permitted the launch of the Amati brand, the Millenia was launched in the autumn of 1993 in Europe under the name Xedos9. Japan also received the model only it was named the Eunos 800. The car was launched in the US in 1995 as the Millenia, and replaced the 929 as Mazda's flagship sedan. Having been developed for a separate audience from typical Mazda customers, the Millenia boasted a myriad of finer details. It was engineered to far greater levels of perceived quality than existing Mazda cars. It included details such as interior plastic, panel gap and thicker paint coating.
Auto Shipping Rates For Mazda Millenia
Production of the Mazda Millenia occurred along with the smaller Xedos6 in a new production line presumably set up for Amati cars. This is the only production car in the world to employ a Miller cycle engine. Towards the end of its lifespan, the Miller Cycle engine was dropped from the lineup, but the Millenia did see ten years of production, which fans consider fitting given that a decade-long benchmark was the catchphrase used to describe the car at its Japanese launch. The Millenia was eventually dropped after 2002 on account of slow sales, and it was loosely replaced by the Mazda6 for 2003. The Mazda Millenia, while it was still around, was capable of passing the elk test at speeds comparable to the BMW 850i, surpassing the Z32 Nissan 300ZX. The Millenia's speed and excellent handling were the primary reasons that the model was so successful and why it remained in production for so long.

Part Being John Malkovich, part philosophical exercise, Cold Souls ($15) is not your average comedy. It stars Paul Giamatti as an actor named...

I just bought a soaker hose. Seen lots of you mentioning them and thought I'd buy one. It's so cool!! I'm really impressed. Can't wait to get back there to buy some more.
Now that I've realized the benefits of having them, I'm thinking I want to run them thru a few beds and anchor them in so I can just hook up the hose to the end when I want to water that section. Questions: Do you bury them underground or just leave them on the top? I read if you bury them they should be at least 4" down and hook no more than 100 ft together on one section. Do you have to put them away in the winter? Will they crack and split if you leave them under the snow from November to April? (I'm in WI) I'd really like to be able to leave them but don't want to have to replace them every year either. Thanks for any comments or suggestions. I'm just so excited to be able to get away from hand watering and use that time more efficently while the soaker hoses do all the work of watering! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I've never buried them, and honestly they're out all winter. Its not like I'd mind them springing a leak or anything...LOL! Never heard of burying them...interested in hearing anyone's experience with that too! PIM |

I haven't buried them either. Leave them out all year long. Go to HD or Lowe's and buy 16" metal rods that are used to hold insulation in the floor joist. Cut in half, curl one end and sharpen other end. Works great and you can get LOTS from one box. Of course, it helps to have a bench grinder. |
Mine eventually do get buried under layers of mulch, and eventually they do fail and get replaced. Some of mine are going on ten years, though. |

Have used them for years and haven't buried them, although I've seen recomendatios that they are more efficient when buried a few inches. The rationale is: They extrude water through the entire circumference of the hose and some of that moisture exposed to the air, will evaporate. I do pull back the mulch when I lay the hose and then cover it with mulch. They generally last for many years, but occasionally spring a leak. If it's a small one. I usually ignore it, but have repaired some using a small sheet metal screw dipped in gasket cement, then screw it into the hole. Allow to dry for a couple of hours and then turn on the water again. About 100' is the maximum length per feed, because you should not open the faucet more than one-fourth turn, else the pressure will sometimes rupture the hose. It is made from recycled auto & truck tires and is designed to be porus, therefore does not withstand much pressure. Where I need several hundred feet in an area, I use splitters to connect several 100' sections to a single hose and adjust the water flow to reach the end of each section. Each year. I add a few more sections and have more than 1000' in use and haven't even started in the rear beds yet! I have an overhead system there, but can't use it on windy days, due to high evaporation rate. The soakers are ideal for getting the moisture where you need it, the omly method that is more efficient is drip, but when you grow 1000's of plants, it is out of the question. Rb |
I live in Texas, and we use soaker hoses a lot. I used to work for Home Depot, and I always told people to bury the soaker hoses. It ensures even watering, that they'll stay in one place, and curb appeal!! By burying the hose, you'll get better watering than if they were sitting on top of the soil. when they're on top of the soil, you have 2 water loss factors: evaporation, and runoff. Yes, even with the slow drip of a soaker hose, you have runoff! Also, with how light the hoses are, they tend to blow around some when the wind hits them, so burying them will eliminate that, and ensure that every time you water, you're watering in the same spot. Lastly, by burying the hose, you can't see it (obviously) so no one else can see it either. Burying the hose provides BEAUTIFUL results that are a result of a practically invisible source!!! |

Hi, Wisconsin zone 4 or 5ish here....I leave mine out all winter and they are not buried although I don't try to keep the mulch off as I'm adding it either. Some have been out there for at least 4 years no with no problems. Be very careful to remember where they are if you bury them. I tried that once and kept damaging them with the shovel when I forgot where exactly they were. |
- Posted by cfmuehling 7b DC/MD 'burbs (My Page) on Thu, May 17, 07 at 16:47
Every time I've been lazy and mulched over them, invariably the next spring I cut them with the shovel as I plant something new. Not a biggie; they're easy to fix, but grrrrrr... I also move stuff a lot and need to adjust my hoses accordingly. I use about 150' at a time. I have one of those 4-faucet adaptors at the endge of the bed(s), I hook the hose up and let 'er rip for a few hours. All I need to do then is to go over and flip its little directional switch. Very easy. My first 2 summers I spent up to 4 hours at a time watering and lugging hoses full of water across 400' of yard. I thought I was going to give myself a hernia or at least pop my SI joints at time. God Bless Soaker Hoses -- which I leave out all the time and don't bury. Christine |

How long and how ofen to you water withe the soaker hose. I'm growing roses. Thanks, Dee |
I have a couple of soaker hoses in use in one of my beds... we bury it with mulch, and we do not leave them out all winter. Also, this year, I found some skinny U-shaped metal holders from either Lowes or HD (can't remember which, we have both here) and they work perfectly to hold the hose right where I want it until I get it covered with mulch. I can't remember if they're specifically meant to hold down hoses, but I asked a store employee for them and he found them inside the store, near the gardening stuff (birdhouses, plant food, etc.) by the door that goes out to the outdoor garden center. Hope this helps... Buff |

Those are gardening staples and frankly, so expensive they should kiss you. Invest in a pair of good metal snips. Take your old hangers, the ones that multiply in your closet? Snip the two shoulder points off of them and you have garden staples as long as you like. Dee, that totally depends upon your water pressure, your length of hose, and how much water you want your roses to get. Remember, that with any circumstance, watering deeping is important. If you don't, particularly if you mulch, where the mulch will soak up a lot of the water? You promote shallow root growth. So plan to really soak the recommended inches down into the soil. I mulch so heavily that not only do I get very interesting, anerobic fungus, but I leave my 150' hoses on overnight sometimes. I wouldn't trade in my soakers for anything. Ok, maybe more of certain plants, but I'd really have to think about the dehydration my gardens would definitely suffer! :) Christine |
Sounds like everyone has got the bases covered. I use both a soaker hose 1/2" and 1/4" sizes. I recently added small variable sprinkler heads that attach to a small raising stake. They sit about 12 inches above the gardens and I can adjust the coverage from 2' to 10'. This allows me to cover everything in my garden, including my lawn. My garden is small about 35' by 25'. It is working so well I might try it in the back yard. They are all set on times so that every 3 days the garden is watered for 90 minutes. Lynne |
- Posted by cfmuehling 7b DC/MD 'burbs (My Page) on Mon, May 21, 07 at 15:38
AT this very moment I'm watering 75 feet in a front bed, 50' in a shade-ish bed, and 150 feet in another sun bed. This is all coming from the same water source, and pressure so far remains good. I admit, though, that since I mulch so heavily and I really can't check the pressure to time to amount of water? I turn 'em on and 6-8 hours later I change them. But then, it never, EVER rains at my house. and I have witnesses. Christine |

I've had several lengths of 50-ft hose going all of 2010, but at the start of 2011, it seems that some aren't weeping. There's a lot of SC red dirt on them from the rawness of my land so I'm wondering if anyone has some experience with the soakers clogging up after an off-season. I've recently added a third 50-ft length to one branch to cover some additional plantings, and it weeps just fine so pressure along the whole length should be OK, but the first two in line don't weep. Ideas, anyone? tnx/rich |
