Methadone and coffee
Common Questions and Answers about Methadone and coffee
Not complaining about this either because once I get out of bed I'm fine, drink
, take my vitamins
everything else
latley this has been it. No sweating, no creepy crawlies, nothing physical. The one bad thing about feeling this good is that my cravings to take more is comming back, that just want to feel a little bit better than before....so I just keep myself busy doing something to keep me out of the bathroom!!!!

I never heard this either
doubt it has any merit.
, caffine

Why does
cause such weight gain,
how can you combat this. I exercise daily, I eat very little and yet I cannot lose weight. Some days when I work out I get cold sweats and it feels like my dose is wearing out, then I take a break and calm down and everything is fine. Last time I was on methadone I put on 45 lbs and was completely inactive, I want to avoid those issues this time. Vitamins? Food diet? Does anything prevent the constipation and weight gain?

Hey girl I've been on
for 5 years. It slows down your metabolism and your digestive track. Also, most people who take methadone have cravings for sugary foods and/or chocolates. The first year I gained maybe 10 pounds and also had a baby while on it. The next year 10 or 15. Basiclly I was pregnant 5'7" and 137lbs in 2005. Now I am around 170. Most of it is in my gut. All the time people are asking if I am pregnant. Another side effect is no sex drive.

There are a lot of caring people that love to hang out
that you could meet
share this journey with right now. Have you made any NEW friends that are in recovery yet? What could you ADD to your day to get your mind off yourself for a bit? Hobbies? What interests you? I'm just thinking if you can start filling up your days with more activities, new goals, etc. then the focus will shift in your mind.

You did a decent taper, so hopefully it won't be too bad.
stores in fat
bones, so it releases slowly
that's possibly why you're not feeling it yet. If you start taking Calcium/Magnesium/Zinc, 4 in the morning and 4 in the evening, it will help with the arms coiling up like snakes. That feeling is horrible, but will pass. Congrats on getting your life back, you won't regret it. Keep posting for support and advice.

we fully support people involved in
sub programs I know
saves lives...it also keep people from wrecking theirs.. you just need to know the facts about it ....I was on 150ml and was on it for years tapering off methadone is not comfortable to do...you go in and out of withdrawals along the way...then once your off it takes a good 90 days to start to feel well again.....I have helped several people off this is very typical of methadone withdrawal dont fool yourself...

My family and I were giving him rides to go down there but he told us he doesn't want to But now for the past week or so, he has been suffering from withdrawals, to the point where he cannot get out of bed. He has trouble sleeping and has not really eaten.

Looking to see if anyone has suggestions for the withdrawal symptoms from
. I just finished a 6 month program
started my first day today with 0mg. I had been lowered 5mg every 3 days. I know this dosen't work for everyone but mentally even before I decided to try Methadone I was DONE with oxycotin, perc's, xanax's and everything else I used in pill form. I know that I will tough it out because I went 2 wks with nothing while waiting to get into the clinic.

You've complained of the drowsiness all along,
your doc (
others) have told you it's the
DOES cause drowsiness, that will improve as you drop down with your dose. While it may be annoying...later in the detox process, sleep will be hard to come by most likely, so enjoy your rest now! Anxiety will cause a person to "catastriophize" which is someone thinking and worrying about the absolute worst possible case scenario.

Congratulations and thank you for posting-your story is eerily similar to mine, dental work, pain pills
all! Today is my 8th day w/o
after three years of it
it has been a VERY difficult day, so I thought I'd stop by to see how others are doing...I'm so happy to hear you are 60 days clean! It's an inspiration! Can I ask you how long it took to have any energy again??? I've been taking clonidine at night, also, for what little sleep I get.

Two days ago I dropped another 2.5mg
am starting to feel it. It feels like I drank a bucket of

I hate to sound like a crybaby but, man! If I am like this at a 5mg drop what am I going to be like at 10, 20 or 30? I can only hope that my body assimilates within the next few days?

Hi everyone, i always see people say they have trouble sleeping and im wondering if it is due to their muscles in their arms, legs,
back drawing up
feeling like they need stretched or they just hurt or is it that you just lay their awake unable to sleep, for me i could probably sleep if it wasnt for the awful pains, i was just wondering because i always see people post it, but no one ever describes it, also would stuff like ambien or trazadone make you sleep through those pains, or do pe

I was on 40mgs of done, then waited 3 days befor starting sub.. I have been on it now for almost a month and down to 2mgs a day....I rtarted at 12 mgs. I wish i would have done this instead of done to get off pills....think it would have taken less time to get off sub. Anyways it is the best thing to happen to me ( sub ).worked really well for me......but this is just the beginning of my recovery, because staying clean is the hardest part. I have no problem keeping some sub around...

Will this pass faster since I was only on
for 6mnths? I topped at 65mg
tapered by 5mg every 3 days....
i asked if theu could maybe split up my five....maybe after a few days of mg5 (was on 5mg for 6 days at the end) and they said no...which I was told I COULD DO...but thats besides the point. I am here now and mentally I still am just getting very tired. Anyone in similar situation or a past situation that relates?

Do not listen to the statistics...
lose the fear we all have regarding
detox. The bodies natural ability to heal itself is amazing...you just have to want it and be willing to work for it. Keep thinking positive, you have been a huge inspiration to us! Regarding the caffeine.....I think it is definately a good idea to lay off a bit. We are very fond of coffee, lattes, etc...but we had to give that up too.

Sounds like your almost there. I read some of the posts about

He gives you all the room you need to grow
learn. I have withdrawn from
everything else) several times. I know from experience the best way is to taper and go slow. Don't be rigid with yourself.; do not push yourself. It goes in cycles. One week you will have an easy time coming down 2 mg. Another week you will just have to hold where you are. Same with the days. One day 30 mils will be just fine, the next day you will need 45 mils. Take what you need.

So today is now 78days off
having had a benzo habit a long side it has BEEN a living nightmare. I had been going to the methadone clinic for about 3yrs and had gone up to a dose of 180mgs. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I ended up tapering down to 47mgs before tightening up my boot straps and running from the clinic as fast as I could. I had been taking klonopin 2mg tablets along side my daily dose of methadone.

She even went on antidepressents to help, but when she went down only 3 mg, she was freaking out
decided to go back up. Then she found a website about
the people in the forum there promote staying on it forever. They actually compare methadone to insulin, and when people go there asking questions about detoxing they get angry at calling it "detoxing" ("you wouldn't detox from insulin would you?") and they give the person reasons to stay on it.

I get what you are talking about, I also know what coming off
is like. You can keep lying

For me, I lied to myself for years in a methadone clinic saying I had to have it because of my back but in fact, I was afraid of the withdrawals. If you are NOT a chronic pain patient
you want to be off
, you can do it. You'll need the "Thomas Recipe", Clonidine to regulate your blood pressure, Klonipin for the anxiety and something to help you sleep.

As to my length in relapse, it has been 15 years of
with heroin
crack, heroin alone
crack. Let's just say I was out there too long. I think people on Blue tooth phones are talking to me and people on Ipods seem almost as isolated I was on dope. I am kinder person to my dog, people, and watch my anger very closely. Like I told gnarly, the fatigue hit after I went from 22mgs to 19 and some days are Ok and some aren't.

My husband and I have been married 2 years. He has 3 daughters, I have 2. My oldest daughter has been out of the house since before I married, my youngest daughter (19) moved out recently due to conflicts she and my husband had. When she moved out, my husband and I agreed that when any girl moved out, they would no longer get a key and would not be able to come back to live (in emergencies they could come back and stay for a limited time). My husband's oldest daughter (20) has been a problem for us as she has no respect for our house or the people in it. She recently moved to an apartment about an hour from home. I was ecstatic that she was moving out. The problem is, she comes home every Friday (sometimes Thursday)and stays until after supper on Sunday. She no longer has a room here so her stuff is spread throughout the house, she eats our food, comes home at 3:00 a.m., sleeps on any empty couch or bed, does her laundry, and I am so furious! Every weekend I dread being around the house. I feel resentful and irritated in the extreme. My husband is upset with me because I'm such a b***h about the whole thing and he can't see a problem. He has two other daughters (age 18 and 13), and they are good kids and I get along with them. This oldest daughter is just driving me insane! Am I being unreasonable? I don't know what to do - how to cope with this problem that I don't believe is going to go away. |

I had similar problem with SD22. She also came to dads house any time of day or night even though she had her own apartment and hour away, she never warned us that she is coming over. She slept everywhere she wanted including her own room that she had when she still lived at home, guest bedroom, our bedroom, couch, anywhere, made a mess, ate, brought friends, slept, made a mess. She also packed up and took with her every visit whatever she liked of mine or her dads, space heater, fan, hair dryer, table lamp, my make up and body products, hair brushes, my exercise clothes, my bag, my suitcase, anything. Her dad is often on business trips and it is terrifying if someone opens the door at 12AM. I don't know if it is her or burglars. problem is solved for the time being because she lives out of state now but I dread that she might move back here. I don't dislike her but this coming and going and taking stuff is just very stressful. She will be visiting for Christmas and I am already terrified of having to hide everything (she finds it anyway) and of dealing with messy house, her dirty underwear in our hamper and her coming and going in the middle of the night and sleeping on different beds (sheets have to be washed). |
I understand your frustration, kimster, but have you and your husband tried setting boundaries for this girl. I think it's natural for a child of that age (18-22) to come and go to the place they consider their "home". It may be because they have a lot of friends in the area and want to connect with them, or it may be because they need the comfort of a normal home life with regular meals and clean sheets. Whatever your SD's reasons for showing up whenever she pleases, she needs to be told that there are boundaries in your home and if she doesn't respect them, she won't be welcome. If her rude behavior persists, then it's time to change the locks and make sure she doesn't have a key. |

There're 3 unreasonable & obnoxious things going on here, & 1 of them is downright scary. #1: #2 #3 The first thing an abuser does is isolate a victim from family & friends. Your husband is the only one who can change things, & he's happy with everything but your "complaints". Women believe words, & men believe actions. If the situation is intolerable, you have to make it *his* problem rather than just objecting, no matter how well-founded your objections are. I my own self would change the locks & file for divorce, but I don't know your financial situation. If you cannot bring yourself to do that, you might just disengage- no meals, no laundry, no cleaning, no keeping either of them company. leave the house every week-end. I wish you the best. |

Sylvia said: "no meals, no laundry, no cleaning, no keeping either of them company. leave the house every week-end. I wish you the best." I agree with this. Find something else to do when she's there and let your husband deal with her...by himself. Don't do things for her that could be considered "rewarding" her blatant disregard of your house rules. |
- Posted by catlettuce (My Page) on Sun, Oct 31, 10 at 4:47
Well, I vote change the locks and if your husband wants a key he agrees and.follows up on the rules with HIS kids too. Not just yours. Oh, I know this routine so well! How times have changed for me. It took ten long years but Girl if hubs wants to be with me- its on my terms now. |
I think sylviatexas is right. My question to you is, do you think your husband is abusive? What happened between him and your daughter? Is this typical behavior? Are you and your daughter on good terms right now? The story, as you tell it, sounds indeed like his daughter is getting preferential treatment and that's just not right. I know all about that one, honey. |
- Posted by shakti2574 (My Page) on Sat, Nov 6, 10 at 9:36
Men sometimes overlook those little issues. If those bother much, esp. when they encroach on YOUR living spaces or the community spaces then you will need to express that to your huband. I put it not directly at his D but at all the messes that cause more stresses not for you but for the whole family. Set boundaries where you can accept: 1. Put her stuff in a corner of her sister's room where they are out of sight. 2. She needs to sleep not on the family couch but in one of her sisters' rooom. 3. She can do laundry, but cannot leave the dryer or washer unattended while she is out partying. 4. You all make it too comfortable and easy for her to come back for the whole weekend. Start putting on uncomfortable restriction like, yes once in a while at 3am but not every week. Bad examples for the other sisters. |

Make Your Own Hostess Cupcakes
by Dana Angelo White in Cookies & Other Desserts, February 7, 2012We had so much fun making homemade Girl Scout Cookies, we just had to try and recreate another childhood classic.
Why Make your own?
Using real ingredients like butter, sugar and chocolate in this recipe means our version won't be low in calories. BUT, what you will be getting is a super fun and delicious cupcake made without preservatives, fillers, thickeners and hydrogenated oils found in the store-bought version.
Chocolate "Squiggle" Cupcakes
Makes 12 cupcakes
1 recipe Little Devil's Food Cakes (no frosting)
1 tablespoon softened butter
¾ cup marshmallow creme
Ganache Topping
4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
¼ cup heavy cream, warmed in a saucepan
Squiggle Topping
½ cup confectioners' sugar
Prepare cupcakes according to recipe, using a ¼ cup of batter for each cupcake (you'll have some batter leftover to make 2 extra cupcakes).
For the filling, combine the marshmallow and butter in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whisk until well combined and transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a wide tip. When the cupcakes are completely cooled gently press the tip into the top of each cupcake. Gently squeeze to inject the cupcake with about 1 tablespoon of the filling. Set aside.
For the ganache, place chocolate chips in a bowl and cover with warm cream. Allow to sit for 3 to 4 minutes and then whisk until melted and smooth. Spoon 2 teaspoons of the chocolate mixture over each cupcake and spread out using the back of a spoon to cover the top. Allow the ganache to cool and set for at least 10 minutes.
Finally for the swiggles, whisk confectioners sugar with 2 to 3 tablespoons of milk. Drizzle or use a pastry bag with a thin tip to decorate the top of each cupcake.

My wife had always heard tails about him being hung like a horse.I told her he looked blessed from the locker room.I would kid her about he might show it to her if she wanted to see it and of course she said I was crazy. We have been around him a lot of places and he always flirts with her and tells her how hot she is .But according to her he is a asshole and just looking for a peace of white ass. She has said he would be the last man she would fuck.But in the past I would kid her about fucking him when we would see interracial porn and interracial couples out in places.She would just say yes I bet he would like to.Watching interracial porn always gets her hot even though she says it don't. Well a couple of summers ago we were at the lake in our boat off to our selfs when we seen a jet ski coming our way and it was him.We were in the beers a few and ask if he would like one so he got in the boat with us and his wet shorts showed a lot of cock. My wife just smiled and we were talking about his new jet ski and I said I would like to ride it and he said go for it.So getting on the jet ski I told her to stay away from him and that big black snake he carries with him and she just laughed.I had been gone for about thirty minutes and was getting back close to the boat and what was I looking at my little white wife riding about a foot of black cock. And the fucking didn't stop when I got back she just kept riding till both were fuck out.Man what a show my cock was hard as a rock.She ask me later if I was mad and I told her no that if she was that sexy riding a black cock I would watch again and man what a smile.So over the past two years he visits my house and my wifes little cunt quit a bit

A Scottish regiment threatened to shoot German troops if they left their trench during a famous Christmas truce newly discovered letters have revealed.
During the Christmas truce of 1914 troops from both sides famously took part in an impromptu game of football during an unofficial ceasefire on the Western Front.
The game has gone down in history as a rare moment of humanity amid the bloodshed of the Great War.
But letters which will go under hammer at Bonham's in London however show that not all troops supported the short truce, and that the Seaforth Highlanders – who had suffered heavy losses in the opening battles of the war at Le Cateau, the Marne, the Aisne and Messines – simply didn't want to play ball.
One letter states: "The Seaforths… would have none of it and when the Germans in front of them tried to fraternise and leave their trenches, the Seaforths warned them that they would shoot."
The letter was written by Major Hawksley – who was serving with the Warwick regiment – and is dated December 27, 1914.

This so-called opinion piece defies reasoning, but it typifies the reasoning of the moronic left in this country.
The writer asks, "Was 9/11 really that bad?"
"Six hours after the assault on the twin towers and the Pentagon, terrorists had carried out a second wave of attacks on the United States, taking an additional 3,000 lives. Imagine that six hours after that, there had been yet another wave. Now imagine that the attacks had continued, every six hours, for another four years, until nearly 20 million Americans were dead. This is roughly what the Soviet Union suffered during World War II, and contemplating these numbers may help put in perspective what the United States has so far experienced during the war against terrorism.
It also raises several questions. Has the American reaction to the attacks in fact been a massive overreaction? Is the widespread belief that 9/11 plunged us into one of the deadliest struggles of our time simply wrong? If we did overreact, why did we do so? Does history provide any insight?
Certainly, if we look at nothing but our enemies' objectives, it is hard to see any indication of an overreaction. The people who attacked us in 2001 are indeed hate-filled fanatics who would like nothing better than to destroy this country. But desire is not the same thing as capacity, and although Islamist extremists can certainly do huge amounts of harm around the world, it is quite different to suggest that they can threaten the existence of the United States.
Yet a great many Americans, particularly on the right, have failed to make this distinction. For them, the "Islamo-fascist" enemy has inherited not just Adolf Hitler's implacable hatreds but his capacity to destroy. The conservative author Norman Podhoretz has gone so far as to say that we are fighting World War IV (No. III being the Cold War).
But it is no disrespect to the victims of 9/11, or to the men and women of our armed forces, to say that, by the standards of past wars, the war against terrorism has so far inflicted a very small human cost on the United States. As an instance of mass murder, the attacks were unspeakable, but they still pale in comparison with any number of military assaults on civilian targets of the recent past, from Hiroshima on down.
Even if one counts our dead in Iraq and Afghanistan as casualties of the war against terrorism, which brings us to about 6,500, we should remember that roughly the same number of Americans die every two months in automobile accidents.
Of course, the 9/11 attacks also conjured up the possibility of far deadlier attacks to come. But then, we were hardly ignorant of these threats before, as a glance at just about any thriller from the 1990s will testify. And despite the even more nightmarish fantasies of the post-9/11 era (e.g. the TV show "24′s" nuclear attack on Los Angeles), Islamist terrorists have not come close to deploying weapons other than knives, guns and conventional explosives. A war it may be, but does it really deserve comparison to World War II and its 50 million dead? Not every adversary is an apocalyptic threat."
"Smokey" (slang for one who's brain was melted by over-bong use) left out the use of Boeing 767′s, not at all a small weapon, but who's counting.
Whoever at John Hopkins University who let this pinhead out of the gate had better send the dudes in the white coats to pick him up fast.
Of course like a typical liberal he slips up, for while he tells us that we are overreacting he is also telling the MSM and the left that they are overreacting about the 3000 dead in the Iraq war.
"Even if one counts our dead in Iraq and Afghanistan as casualties of the war against terrorism, which brings us to about 6,500, we should remember that roughly the same number of Americans die every two months in automobile accidents."
Opps! So then why all the MSM and leftist fuss over 3000 dead in Iraq, after all, it's a flip in the pan compared to auto accidents. Boy these dopes can't even stay on the same script.

We've discussed at length many times this season that Jonas Valanciunas is one of the lone bright spots in an otherwise dark situation for the Raptors, and on Tuesday, we got more evidence of that as Valanciunas was named to the NBA's All-Rookie Second Team.
Valanciunas, who finished seventh in rookie scoring, third in rebounding, third in blocks and third in double-doubles, is the 10th player in franchise history to be named to an All-Rookie Team.
While Valanciunas' defence and energy were the strengths most fans were looking forward to watching in his debut season, it was the big man's offence that took us by surprise and really opened our eyes to how high the now 21-year-old's ceiling can be, as Jonas' True Shooting Percentage of .618 is tied for the fourth-highest mark of any rookie in NBA history to play at least 1000 minutes.
In case you're wondering, the All-Rookie First Team consists of Damian Lillard, Bradley Beal, Anthony Davis, Dion Waiters and Harison Barnes, while Valanciunas is joined by Andre Drummond, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Kyle Singler and Tyler Zeller on the Second Team.
The other nine Raptors to be selected to an All-Rookie Team were Damon Stoudamire, Marcus Camby, Vince Carter, Morris Peterson, Chris Bosh, Charlie Villanueva, Andrea Bargnani, Jorge Garbajosa and Jamario Moon. In other words, the Raptors have had a top-10 rookie in half of their seasons in existence so far without it preceding much future team success. Here's hoping Valanciunas is where the tide turns.
On another note, the second round of the playoffs is in full swing, the Jays are a quarter of the way through their season, the Leafs saw their unlikely playoff run come to a crushing, heartbreaking end last night, I left the country for the better part of a week, and through all of that, we still don't know if Bryan Colangelo will be back next season (though the latest report is that Colangelo may step down if the decision takes any longer).
So much for getting this situation cleared up and taken care of quickly. Come on, Phil, hurry up and turn Leiweke down already so that we can all find out just what the hell is going on here.

Why Expedia (EXPE) is Up Double Digits Friday
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Expedia (EXPE - Get Report) added double-digit percentage points on Friday, after earnings came in better than expected.
By midmorning, shares had added 13.5% to $73.95.
After the bell Thursday, the online travel site posted quarterly revenue of $1.15 billion, 18% higher year-over-year. The increase in sales was driven by a 25% jump in hotel room nights booked and as advertising sales generated more income.
Washington-based Expedia recorded net income of 92 cents a share, six cents higher than analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters had expected.
Over fiscal 2013, Expedia earned $3.22, a nickel over consensus, and generated $4.77 billion in sales compared to estimates of $4.75 billion. Expedia's rally trickled down to its online travel competitors. Tripadvisor (TRIP - Get Report) led the pack, adding 9.7% to $84.64, Orbitz (OWW - Get Report) climbed 5.1% to $7.49, and Priceline (PCLN - Get Report) popped 2.5% to $1,166.45. Tripadvisor will report fourth-quarter earnings on Tuesday, Feb. 11. Orbitz reports results on Feb. 13 and Priceline is due for Feb. 20. Must Read: Expedia Now #412 Largest Company, Surpassing Masco TheStreet Ratings team rates EXPEDIA INC as a Buy with a ratings score of B. The team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate EXPEDIA INC (EXPE) a BUY. This is driven by some important positives, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, attractive valuation levels, expanding profit margins and growth in earnings per share. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income."- You can view the full analysis from the report here: EXPE Ratings Report

Video: A Closer Look At The Voice Teams
Plus: A Battle Rounds Refresher!
This week The Voice Season 3 wrapped up its Blind Audition rounds and after four long weeks, the teams have been assembled and we're headed into the Battle Rounds next week.
Below, we've got a look back at the Blind Auditions where you can see all of them and find out what the coaches — Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Blake Shelton and Adam Levine — have to say about their teams this season.
BATTLE ROUNDS REFRESHER: Once the teams are set, the battle is on. Coaches will dedicate themselves to developing their team of artists, giving them advice, and sharing the secrets of their success along with the help from their celebrity advisers. During the battle rounds, the coaches will pit two of their own team members against each other to sing the same song together in front of a studio audience. After the vocal battle, the coach must choose which of his/her singers will advance to the next round of competition, while the losing artist is available to be stolen by another coach.
At the end of the battles, only the strongest members of each coach's roster remain and proceed to the new knockout rounds. The artists will be paired again with a member of their team, but this time they find out only minutes before performing who they are being compared against. The artists each select their own song to perform individually, while their direct competitor watches and waits. They are vying for their coach's confidence and decision to take them to the live shows. Their coach will choose the winner and the artist not selected will be sent home. — NBC

What adds value for the customer?
Organizations continually strive for lean and efficient operations.
Particularly in the current economic climate, your company may ask you to find opportunities for lean improvement in your department or area, so that you can deliver the same value to the customer at lower cost to your organization.
However, it can be a challenge identifying where these opportunities are.
For example, you may know that you need to improve your production process, because products are coming back with defects. In that situation, what do you need to do to improve quality? One option is to put more resources into physical inspections. But will that solve the problem, or will it just add cost to a process that's flawed somewhere else?
Process improvement is successful only when you address the underlying problem. A useful way of improving processes successfully is to use a lean manufacturing technique called Value Stream Mapping (VSM). It originated at car manufacturer Toyota, where they called it 'material and information flow mapping.' VSM is now widely used in a variety of industries as a way of identifying improvement projects.
The basic idea behind Value Stream Mapping is this:

I'm not ashamed to admit it: I enjoy playing around with Wikipedia's random-article function. Don't judge me. I'm obviously not the only one. Web developer Jim Blackler took my dirty little secret one step further with Quizipedia, the quiz game built from fragments of random Wikipedia articles. The questions aren't ridiculously hard, but Quizipedia is an unforgiving task master. One wrong answer and you lose. Pro tip: use the "pass" button to come back to particularly tough ones.
Cool ... now how about the photoshop contest? Is it dead or are we going to see a new contest and maybe even more results or even payouts of past winnings? (I've sent you my w-9 enough times, to you and to CS, so I'm assuming that someone over there has it)
No joke... The answer to my very first question was Bukkake.
I just got a set of trivia where half the quests were: "This chart depicts ______." The answers were all variations on military pay grades, off by one word. (E.g. enlisted, officer.) That's rough.
Woo! Beat my second one with 18 seconds to spare, granted it was very easy. Two of my questions had to do with Africa my choices that were African in nature were North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa, The fist question started this area south of the Sahara. And the second one started with This Northern Region of Africa. I suck at geography but luckily I didn't let my blonde get the best of me.
as if I didn't have enough things to do while goofing off at work..... thanks, Woot!
"You won with 29.9 seconds to spare." Can't get my time under 30 seconds.

You won with 39.0 seconds to spare. Your quiz was made with content from the following Wikipedia articles: Bamboo Batcycle Batmobile Coupon-eligible converter box Hate speech International Anarchist Congress of Amsterdam Knute Nelson Mark Twain Reparations for slavery Viral encephalitis Now we just need a mad-lib generator that will incorporate all the random topics into one coherent story...
... Well, we had it tough: we had to connect via a 300 baud modem, using Trumpet WinSock and the French version of IE 0.1, then a 1-800-relay operator had to translate the questions into hebrew, and still we had 61 seconds to spare. But try to tell the young people that, and they wont believe you.
Believe? No. Understand? No. But I'm just barely old enough to do the latter.

My hubby actually came up with this one -- he's like a dog with a bone when it comes to solving a problem. While strolling through the glassware section of WalMart, he found these Ball canning jars... they're the 4 oz. jelly jars with the lid that comes in 2 pieces. Then he found some 2-1/2 oz. stainless condiment cups in the next aisle over... these cups fit perfectly in the canning lids when the center plate is taken out... it just hangs there! See pics below. They even come with labels... ~ Robin
Follow-Up Postings:
Your minis look lovely and how clever of your husband to think of the solution! Now IF you should run into rust issues with the cups, they do make plastic ones, which will work fine. Speaking from basement experience, the jar rings might eventually develop some rust. If they do, you could replace them or perhaps look at the plastic covers for opened canned goods. They are white and would need to have the center cut out (but would never rust). Gosh, my husband practically never solves any problems. Congratulations! "Jelly Magic" ;) is lovely. The Jollys are semis aren't they? Diana |
Jelly Magic, that's pretty cute, Diana! Yes, I think the Jollys are semis... these mini's are my first AVs and the blooms on these are their firsts... gosh there are a lot of 'firsts' going on here... Thanks for the heads up on the rust.. I hadn't even thought of that. Right now they're looking pretty sweet; they compliment the stainless appliances in the kitchen -- but the lids should be fairly easy to replace, now that we've discovered the canning section in WalMart... who knew? |
I love this look! It's perfect for a kitchen display. Absolutely clever! --Jaye |
Thanks, Jaye! |

Hi Robin and Diana, The Jolly series of plants are minis and semis. Robin your plants look great in those canning jars but eventually there will be algae in the jar. If you add some Physan 20 to the water with your fertilizer it will greatly reduce the chance of algae and they will stay clear and cleaner longer. Fred in NJ |
Fred, would I use the Physan 20 as a continuous treatment, and would the dilution rate be as indicated on the bottle? ~ Robin |
Thank you, Fred. I had some notion that the Jolly name was used for the semis. I had to discard mine but would like to get a few again if I get things straightened out. Robin's jars almost made me want to enter "Martha Stewart" land :). (Robin, that is really quite a compliment!) Diana |
Lol -- thanks, Diana! |

Robin. I use about 2/3 teaspoon of Physan 20 continuously for my light stands. 1 full teaspoon for natural light. This worked well. The last few months I have been using 3 ounces of Peroxide per gallon instead. This seems to work well and I like the idea of peroxide much better than chemicals. I think there are other benifits to using Peroxide. I have not checked PH. Thom |
I'll be trying the peroxide, Thom. I already have some -- a plus! Thanks! |

It has been a long, long while since I posted here, but I love the idea of the canning jars. I was wondering how it was working out and do you still like it? It looked so pretty. I was also wanted to know what you used for the wick and how large. I wick my larger ones but have had to go down to one strand of yarn to keep it from being too wet.Would love to try the smaller ones. Again great idea. Ann |

Robin, I love your idea with the canning jars. I'm off to Walmart this afternoon. LOL I have a question on how you are watering them. I don't see any wick in the jars. Do you just water them by hand? I have most of my violets wicked with mason twine that I get at HD or Lowes. It works very well. If you use those stainless condiment cups, how would you make holes in them? Eileen |
Hi Ann and Eileen, I'm happy to report that the canning jars are still working out and I'm still happy with them! You just have to wipe out the algae occasionally (so it's not unsightly), but it's not that big a deal. I use mason's twine from HD or Lowes; it's the standard size one with 3 ply. For these minis I pull one of the strands to make it a 2-ply, and it seems to be the ticket. I just drilled a hole in the condiment cup with a regular 3/16" bit and voila! See a few happy violets below: |

Robin: You can use plastic sandwich bags (not the zippy kind) inside your jars as liners. Then when algae appears you just throw out the bags! Linda |
They are absolutely gorgeous! What varieties are they please? |
Thank you, bunnycat! The last photos posted are Jolly Magic, Kentucky Gooseberry, and Rob's Shadow Magic. The very first photos in this thread were taken just after I bought them as babies. Now these babies have babies! I'll have to post something in the 'Exchange' forum... ~ Robin |

Robin,Thank you for getting back with us after such a long time.Your violets are beautiful! I use aycrlic yarn. Well when I did repot recently (after a sinfully long time) I realized that they all were too wet but doing good so I used more perlite to my 1-1-1 mix,cut them back, trimmed roots and since they are all smaller now I am only using one strand. So is the mason twine smaller or less absorbant than yarn. I will be buying some smaller violets and lovely jars when weather warms up some.This really sparks the imagination tell husband thank you. I just love this idea. Ann in So Ut |
Hi Ann, It's been a trial-and-error type thing with these minis, the size of the wicks, and the soil ratio. The experts here on this message board have been of invaluable help! I can't compare the mason twine to the yarn, as I've only used the twine. I, too, use the 1-1-1 mix and they seem happy with that. Oh, and the bigger the plants have gotten, and especially when they're in bloom, the more water they drink. I fill them about every 2-1/2 days to just under the bottom of the condiment cup. ~ Robin |
- Posted by luvofroses So Ut (My Page) on Fri, Dec 16, 11 at 23:59
Thanks so much yes everyone here has been helpful to me over the years too. Well I am going to take the plunge and see if I can get minis to look like yours. My husband finally put my shelf up that goes across my bay window so now to fill it up. Ann in So Ut |
That's the fun part! : ) |

This is the best idea I have seen for wicking with AV. It is really attractive and your violets look amazing. I am receiving new leaves tomorrow and will definitely be implementing this technique! Thanks for a great idea! |
Hi Kimmycakes - the plants are still doing well, I'm happy to report. I've also found that I can use the jars for the mini's that are so young they're still in pepto-bismol cups. (At least that's what I use when baby root balls are teeny-tiny). Just sit the temporary cup inside the condiment cup, then thread the wicking twine through the holes in each cup and down into the water. ~ Robin |
- Posted by Kimmycakes50 none (My Page) on Mon, Mar 26, 12 at 10:21
Thanks Robin- I was planning on starting my leaves in the little plastic condiment cups from my restaurant. They will fit perfectly in the stainless ramekins and I can implement this look right away. Absolutely love your Kentucky Gooseberry! |
Isn't she pretty? So far she's been a very prolific bloomer... only taking short breaks, then exploding in blossoms again. Truthfully, I haven't tried starting leaves in the jelly jars because I like to do that in plastic bags hanging out of the way somewhere.... let us know how it goes! ~ Robin |

Stunning Kentucky Gooseberry! Amazing! |
Thanks fawnee! |
Hi, I think those violets look gorgeous, but I don't get how you did it. Could you describe it a little more detailed for someone without imagination. Thank you. |
i just want to thank oriole6 for the pictures and her husband for the idea. i'd been having a horrible time trying to figure out what i wanted to use as pots that didn't look tacky or cost a lot, and this idea was right up my alley -- both customizable and usually under $2 per pot. awesome! now instead of trying to find pots that don't cost $15 or more, i'm on the lookout for jars with the right size of mouth to put more cups in. :p years ago i had a square glass jar that came with fragrance in it... you know, the kind where the scent evaporates out of the decorative-but-holey lid. well i liked the jar so much that i washed it out and hung onto it, but i never did have a use for it. imagine my delight when i was able to replace the fragrance lid with a canning jar lid and put the condiment cup in there! that old fragrance jar now hosts my very favorite african violet. so anyway, thanks. :) you made a fellow grower very happy! |
see, husbands can be useful things ... psst, don't tell my wife. The list will get longer ˘ _ ˘ --~ dave |
So right after I read about this idea I run to Walmart but the jars I found don't work!! The cup goes right through the hole!!! I couldn't find the jars used in the post :(. Please if anybody can still find them let me know. Right now I'm using clay pots I found at Michaels but I would prefer to use the condiments cups!! |
i have four options for you, and i have personally tried all four. 1. the walmart cups my coworker bought after seeing mine worked. did you try all four? the reason i ask is that... 2. i bought 24 cups from amazon because i couldn't find any in town, and 20 of the 24 worked. four fell through. you can tell which ones will fall through just by looking at the stack of them, because the lame ducks aren't made *quite* the same. the cups that do work are great quality, however. 3. if you want almost the same size as those metal cups but would prefer not to have to buy a titanium drill bit to drill them with, you can go to clear plastic cups. these are the same brand and size of cups that i received online-bought plants in (i believe from the violet barn), 'cause that's where i got the idea from. 4. if you're actually wanting to conform more to the "shallow" theory of pots, then a more shallow version of #3 exists in both white and black. i bought the black ones and figured i'd try both "regular" and shallow. these shallow ones give more room for water in the tiny pots, which means you don't have to refill it as often. EDIT: |

I eventually ran into that problem too, elesi24. Difference in manufacturing, I guess. I just cut a gasket out of cardboard that would lay on top of the metal ring of the Ball jar and I cut a hole in the middle of that to accommodate the condiment cup without it slipping through. A stiff plastic material could also be used. You can't see it because the leaves cover it. - Robin |

Field Report: Centrance Micport Pro
In the 1980s, Madonna indicated she was a material girl living in a material world. However, more than 20 years have gone by, and we find ourselves living in a USB world. Serial connectors are becoming more and more scarce, and USB is a faster, easier computing interface. The speed offered by USB connectivity has opened the door to handy developments in the recording and radio industries. When Madonna recorded Material Girl, microphones, preamps and mixing consoles were a must. But today, microphones can simply connect directly to a computer via USB with the help of the Centrance Micport Pro preamp.
Outside, inside
Performance at a glance |
24-bit/96kHz performance
48V phantom power USB-powered No drivers necessary Stereo headphone output Windows XP, Vista, and MAC 0S X and 10.5 compatible Compact, rugged construction |
The Micport Pro is a Class A microphone preamp constructed from black anodized aluminum. It is 4" long, 1" around, weighs 2.2 ounces and comes equipped with a USB port (cable included), headphone output, 48V phantom power on/off button, mic level adjustment, and headphone level adjustment. A female XLR jack allows for easy connection of a standard dynamic or condenser microphone. No batteries are required; power comes from a computer USB port, and it drives the phantom power circuitry and headphone jack. The mic gain adjustment allows for 36dB of gain adjustment, accommodating most dynamic or condenser microphones.
There are no drivers or software to install: When the unit is connected to a USB port, the computer recognizes it as an audio in/out interface within seconds. A bright white indicator ring lights up when a computer has recognized it. Depending on individual computer audio interface and recording software properties, designating the Micport Pro as the working device for recording will take some brief experimenting. It will be automatically included as a possible audio device on a PC or Mac, so setting up is a snap.
The Micport Pro provides a 96kHz sampling rate and 24-bit resolution. When used with headphones, sound from the computer can be routed back through the Micport Pro for multitrack monitoring, or for use when no speakers are available. Zero latency is a plus with this device. No noticeable delay is detected when using the device as an output monitoring device. The phantom power is activated using a small button near the headphone and USB jacks. Micport Pro offers 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response, complementing the performance of virtually any microphone.
Having experimented with a Shure SM7, Sennheiser E835, Audio-Technica 815-b, and Rode NT1, I found the tool accurately sampled the expected character of each microphone. The quality Class A preamp matched the performance of typical high-end microphone preamps by providing quiet, pristine power and affording true life-like frequency response. The Micport Pro will operate using Windows Vista, XP and Mac OSX 10.5. It is compatible with USB 1.1 and 2.0. Multiple preamps can be used for stereo or multitrack recording in conjunction with the Centrance Universal Driver, which is downloadable from the Centrance website.

Capturing audio material is sometimes best done using a laptop or desktop computer, and sound gear is sometimes hard to lug around or unavailable. The Micport Pro tags along easily in a computer carrying case. Just snap on your favorite microphone and hit record.

The Oatmeal's Matthew Inman Tells FunnyJunk Lawyer to Please Just Chill Already
We're not going to lie: We've enjoyed following every single development of the FunnyJunk/Charles Carreon-versus-Oatmeal/Matthew Inman fustercluck. But at this point, with a lawsuit targeting the National Wildlife Federation and the American Cancer Society, it's getting a little ridiculous. And if Mr. Carreon digs himself any deeper, he's going to pop out in Beijing. That's probably why Mr. Inman just addressed Mr. Carreon's eyeroll-inducing legal antics with a blog post informing him as gently as possible (well, for the "ptero-you-a-new-asshole" Oatmeal) that he is making matters worse.
"You're upset, I get it," grants Mr. Inman, before doling out a little real talk: "My advice: take a few weeks off, stop saying crazy shit to journalists, and come back when you've calmed down. Write an apology to whomever you feel is appropriate, or just don't write anything ever again." (This is actually pretty solid counsel for anyone who ever incurs the wrath of the Internet.)

Why Billion Dollar Hedge Funds Are Going Cloud
Today we released a new whitepaper that looks at a growing trend we are seeing -- billion dollar hedge funds and investment firms moving to the cloud. Here is a sneak peak at the paper's content as well as a video interview with Bob Guilbert on why firms should read, Why the Billion Dollar Club is Headed to the Cloud.
It's More Than Managing Money
There's more competition in financial services than ever before. Every week, new and agile boutique firms sprout up, armed with proprietary models and the right technology foundation to compete – intensely – with the major players for billions of investment dollars. Firms of every size are competing to deliver broader ranges of increasingly exotic instruments, specialized funds, and high-performance investments that deliver competitive returns to investors whose demands and expectations continue to climb.
But when it comes to performance and success in financial services, there's more to evaluate than just the hard numbers. Returns alone aren't enough. Today, savvy firms know they need to deliver more. In a post-Madoff, post-2008 world, the SEC and FINRA – and investors as well – are scrutinizing all corners of the operation. There's an increased focus on how operational risk is managed and how firms respond to greater demands for transparency. That means it's more important than ever for firms to deploy and maintain robust, scalable, and secure technology infrastructures.

Video: Why the Private Cloud Works for One Growing Investment Firm
Moving to the cloud is one of our favorite topics here on Hedge IT, and there is a compelling argument for hedge funds and alternative investment firms to consider leveraging the cloud for some or all of their infrastructure. INDOS Financial, an independent Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) depository based in London is one firm that chose to utilize the private cloud for their growing firm, and we're excited to share their experience with you.
Watch the video below for an interview with Bill Prew, CEO and founder of INDOS Financial, as he talks about selecting the right technology infrastructure for his firm's increasing demands.

Why Hedge Fund Data Center Selection Processes Matter
Data center facilities are at the heart of any cloud offering and, as such, are getting more scrutiny as hedge funds evaluate who the right cloud provider is for them.
Earlier this year we created a pretty infograpic that mapped what firms should look for in a colocation facility. Remember this?
Since not everyone loves infograpics, we decided to spell out what we look for in a colocation facility. Our due diligence is extensive, but here are some of the high points.
Ownership, Operation & Support: Eze Castle Integration seeks a colocation facility that is owned and operated by a reputable organization with vast industry knowledge and experience. Additionally, the personnel and client support must be of the highest quality in order to ensure that all Eze Castle colocation clients receive the best service and support possible.

What is Hypervisor-based Replication? (We know!)
Are you like one of the millions of people pondering the answer to 'what is hypervisor-based replication and how will it change my disaster recovery approach'? I know I was.
So, let me help you with that!
Our technology experts here at Eze Castle Integration spent some time in the lab testing and evaluating hypervisor-based replication and recently incorporated it into our Eze Disaster Recovery 2.0 offering. We think it delivers excellent benefits, but let's start with the basics.
What is hypervisor-based replication?
TechTarget defines hypervisor-based replication as "a technology that automatically creates and maintains replicas of virtual hard disks or entire virtual machines (depending on the platform that is being used)." Analyst firm IDC goes on to say that this replication approach "protects virtual machines (VMs) at the virtual machine disk format file level rather than at the LUN or storage volume level, thus replication can be done without the management and TCO challenges associated with array-based replication."

Is Bigger Always Better? Advice for Hedge Funds Named David
Like David bravely dueling with the larger Goliath, small and mid-sized investment firms are often faced with insurmountable odds when competing against larger (and better endowed) funds. With more experience and more assets, larger firms have the advantage when it comes to soliciting investor allocations. But do these inherent shortcomings equal certain failure? If David can emerge victorious, can't smaller hedge funds?
Earlier this week, we gathered a panel of experts in San Francisco to discuss this topic at length. Following is a brief synopsis of the topics they covered.

Our 60-Second Answer to Why Go Eze Private Cloud?
Cloud computing is becoming a standard IT deployment method for the investment management industry. In fact, our 2012 survey found that 8 in 10 investment management firms are either currently or planning to use a cloud service. So once a hedge fund or alternative decides to go cloud the next question is "why go Eze Private Cloud?"
Well, we have the perfect answer to that, and you can have it in just 60-seconds. Watch our quick video and learn why Eze Private Cloud is the investment industry standard for cloud services.

The Hedge Fund CFO's IT Checklist: Questions to ask about the Cloud
Here on the Hedge IT blog, we love to talk about the cloud. However, most of our discussions focus on the technology and operational considerations for investment firms. This week, we're taking a different approach and looking at the cloud from a business perspective. On Tuesday we explored the business case for moving to the cloud. Today, we're taking the CFO's point of view.

It's common knowledge that everything from an expectant mother's stress levels to second hand smoke to exposure to pet feces and pesticides may have a profound effect on a child's long-term development and health. However, what most of us don't' realize is the month in which a child is born and, yes, even conceived, may also impact a child's well-being. Crazy, huh?
QUIZ: Are you having a boy or a girl?
Congratulations on your pregnancy! One of the most exciting parts of being pregnant is finding out the sex of your baby. Although, these days, you can find out as early as at the 13-week mark, there are a bunch of traditional tricks you can use to determine if you're having a boy or a girl way before that and without the need of an ultrasound. Some call them old wives tales, but many swear by them. Good thing is that none of them are harmful to you or your baby, so give them a try by taking this quiz and find out!

San Diego resident Melissa Smith says she's watched an unidentified pregnant woman beg for money outside the Eastlake Village Center every weekend for the past two weeks. According to Smith, expectant mother and her young son would hold signs reading "Please help," and collect money from charitable shoppers as they pass by. Heartbreaking, right? Well, don't get too choked up just yet. Smith says she suspects the mother-son duo may be a couple of well-off con artists.
10 Baby shower cakes that will make you cringe!
Nasty and inappropriate baby shower cakes are the latest trend to take over the festive occasion. It seems like the racier the sweets are, the more attention your bash will get.

While we are always down for a good giggle, some of the popular baby shower cakes are really out there.
New mom gives birth to twins & didn't even know she was pregnant!
Shelby Magnani was having some painful stomach cramps and she decided to go to the nearest walk-in clinic in a neighborhood in Ankeny, Iowa. It turned out that Shelby was very much pregnant with twins and had no idea. When the emergency doctors performed an ultrasound they realized that the babies were monoamniotic and they scheduled an emergency C-section. Baby Ava and her twin sister Anna were born small but otherwise healthy and will go home in a couple of weeks.
5 Most stressful things about pregnancy
Pregnancy can stress you out since you may feel your body is out of control. You are carrying the most important thing ever in it, and you want to make sure it all goes swimmingly. The unknown can be frightening and, of course it makes you anxious.
When I was pregnant, I used to worry about ways to hide the sixth finger my baby was going to be born with. I even asked my husband to count his fingers as soon as she was born! Of course she didn't have an extra digit and I wasted all that energy worrying about it. I know you're probably anxious about your pregnancy too, so hopefully this article will answer some questions.
8 Easy ways to soothe a crying baby
Babies cry because that's the only way they have to communicate with us. They have different cries to express different "problems" and as new mothers we might not understand them all at once. It takes time, but soon you'll know if your baby is crying because he is wet, hungry, afraid or sick. Hearing a baby cry can be nerve wracking, especially if you can't soothe him and make him stop. It really messes up with your nervous system. Don't despair because help is on its way!

This woman is severely allergic to pregnancy
Claire Carter from Lancashire, England was allergic to being pregnant. I'm not joking! She suffered from an extremely rare condition called Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) which is a liver disorder few pregnant women develop when their bodies can't function properly with all those pregnancy hormones. The condition is very serious because affects the bile function of the liver which can cause premature and still births.

MIGUEL POVEDA By VINCENT ATTARD Published March 3, 2006 Zaguan Harmonia Mundi
Miguel Poveda is an artist who is beginning to glow in the flamenco world's limelight thanks to his golden pipes, remarkable collaborators and poster-worthy good looks. Zaguan is a seductive record that plays by the rules while spicing it up just enough to craft a modern take on a traditional genre. Juan Gomez Chicuelo is just as much the star here as Poveda, offering some of the most powerful, yet elegant guitar playing on a contemporary flamenco record. "Sal Al Guisao" has the breathtaking feel of a musical tragedy, gloriously filled with Chicuelo's melancholy string stabs around Poveda's helpless cries. Standouts "Si Me Vieras Liviana" and "Casa Pavon Cantinas" emit the feel and passion of Juanito Valderrama and Manolo Caracol, two artists so influential to Poveda. Flamenco dance is clearly an inspiration on Zaguan, as many of the tunes are as ready for graceful dancing as they are for weary listening. With this set Miguel Poveda adds credibility on his continued quest to be considered one of the important voices of modern flamenco.
