Admission Counselor
B.A. Business Administration, College of Mount St. Joseph
Matt is a 2009 graduate of the College of Mount St. Joseph where he earned a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, with concentrations in Marketing and Management. As a student, Matt worked while taking classes including coaching baseball at his high school alma mater, Oak Hills. Due to injuries Matt had to retire his aspirations of continuing his baseball career and turned to coaching. This is when he realized working with high school students was where his passions lie.
"While in the college selection process I wanted to continue playing baseball in college and the Mount presented this opportunity. The ability to be part of a team on campus helped with the transition from high school to college, along with all the wonderful people throughout the Mount community. The Mount felt like home over five years ago, and still does today."

This wasn't supposed to happen.
Yes, Phil Mickelson was installed as the second favourite behind Tiger Woods coming into Open Championship week, but that was mostly because of a win the week prior against a lesser quality field in Scotland at Castle Stuart, a course that several players, Graeme McDowell most notably, decided to avoid as they declared it not being good preparation for the Open.
Golf has always been a game about comfort, whether we're talking about a swing, apparel or a course. Every player has favourite and least favourite venues. Woods has won eight times at Torrey Pines, Steve Stricker loves TPC Deere Run and Mickelson hates links golf. In 19 previous Opens, Mickelson had finished inside the top-10 only twice, an astonishingly low number considering his vast skill set, and it's something he's well aware of too, noting that he's just never seemed to figure it all out.

I am about to convert a lunge ring into a garden. It is about 120 feet in circumference. My plan is to divide it into 4 quadrants with a circular path dividing two larger beds, per quarter. The total beds will be 8. I will most likely cover the area with cardboard before putting horse manure on top. I will mulch the paths with bark. I plan on putting potatoes, squash and corn out there, as well as other sprwalers. Any suggestions? |

Hi, Sally-- I had to look up "lunge ring" to find out what sort of enclosure you were writing about. OK, a sort of paddock for horses. What I coudn't figure out is the size: 120 feet in circumference is about 35 ft. in diameter. Is that what you mean? That's about the size of my fenced kitchen garden, 35 x 30. My suggestions, but obvious to you, I'm sure: shorter plants to the south side, climbers on the north side. Make the paths wide enough for your biggest wheelbarrow. Put in a few edible flowers such as nasturtiums and borage, and salad fixings (lettuces, radishes etc.) around the edges. Good luck! |
Hi Sally, I'd recommend the smaller size bark for your paths, the large bark chips are awful to walk on. Plus the smaller chips break down into nice dark earth in about 2 years and can be shoveled into your beds before you replace it with fresh chips. It sounds like a beautiful garden space, being round like that. I agree with Carol, you want it to be utilitarian but also has to be pretty to appease your inner gardener, so include flowers. If you add a few just for beauty purposes, you can use the potager for a cutting garden as well. In a space that large you should have plenty of room. |

Belgium, specifically Flanders, has a long tradition of self-employed people and small or medium-sized enterprises. Established more than 100 years ago, UNIZO (Organisation for the Self-Employed and SMEs) is the largest Flemish organisation for self-employed entrepreneurs and champions the interests of these entrepreneurs.
UNIZO has over 82,000 members including craftsmen, service providers, liberal professions, companies in the commerce and distribution (retail) sectors as well as 423 local branches (one in every municipality, managed by volunteers). Most of them are located in the northern and Dutch-speaking part of Belgium (region of Flanders and Brussels). We champion the interests of SMEs during every phase of the development of the company, whether prior to the establishment of the company or of a company that operates in the international market.
Here you can find a Powerpoint Presentation in English about UNIZO.
Small and large
UNIZO has 1,000 permanent employees and approx. 3,500 entrepreneurs who voluntarily commit to working for the organisation. Our 83 associated professional sectoral organisations are active in a.o. construction, agro-food, textiles, the metalworking industry, distribution…
UNIZO specifically targets self-employed entrepreneurs, who own and manage an SME (small to medium-sized enterprise with less than 50 employees). The majority of our members employs between 2 and 10 employees.)
Defending your interests
Our mission is two-fold: representing and defending the interests of entrepreneurs at all decision-making levels on the one hand - while influencing decision-making, legislation and taking part in social negotiations -, and in society on the other hand. Read more about this here.
Providing service
But UNIZO is much more than that: the organisation provides information, advice, training and specialised services in social, business, tax, legal, environmental/security and industrial relations areas. Members can make use of certain paying services such as accountancy, social secretariat, insurance company, occupational health service, assistance in request permits etc.
The organisation informs members of important changes in the world of entrepreneurs through its trade magazine, newsletters and guides. In 1997 UNIZO also developed KMOnet, a b2b portal for UNIZO members where they can request information and use the virtual office.
Customised training
Training is also an essential part of UNIZO's mission. Every year local branches organise hundreds of activities tailored to meet members' needs, with regard to sectoral knowledge, starting up a company, raising awareness, etc.
Another important aspect of UNIZO's mission is networking of entrepreneurs (during meetings, in training sessions or in commercial activities). UNIZO encourages these contacts through its local branches, which set up diverse activities, where members can meet. These include OVO projects, SME Contact sessions etc. as well as the Day of the Customer, local fairs, etc.
Big in Belgium
Although UNIZO mainly targets entrepreneurs in Flanders and Brussels, it defends their interests at federal Belgian, European and even international level. UNIZO members are represented by delegations in, among other things, commissions, industrial relations consultations and advisory bodies, at local, provincial, regional, federal and European level for the various business sectors (agriculture, industry, construction, distribution, the professions and the service industry).

UNIZO Projects
DAG VAN DE KLANTEvery year UNIZO organises the UNIZO Customer Day: an excellent opportunity for customers to discover enterprising Flanders and for entrepreneurs to thank their customers for their loyalty.The objective of this event is to emphasize the social-economic and social interest of self-employed entrepreneurs in Flanders. SMEs usually treat their customers to a flower or some chocolates in lieu of thanks. www.dagvandeklant.be
ONDERNEMERSCOACHWhen starting up a business as a young entrepreneur, there's a lot to learn. You often have more questions than answers. Sometimes the success of your business will even depend on the speed with which you find these answers. The UNIZO godparent project assists young entrepreneurs in finding these answers.Ten times a year UNIZO organises small workshops with up to 20 participants, which bring together experienced entrepreneurs and young start-ups. An experienced entrepreneur is appointed as your godparent. At the beginning of each session an expert will provide a short explanation about an issue such as financing, IT, how to deal with customers, coaching of staff etc. Afterwards you can discuss everyday practical issues with your colleagues-entrepreneurs or ask your godparent or coordinator for advice. Every meeting ends with a reception, thus providing an additional networking opportunity.The most important benefits are: 1. you avoid pitfalls and learn how to deal with obstacles 2. you receive information that is applicable to your company 3. you make business contactswww.ondernemers-coach.be
Z.O. Magazine is the SME business magazine that is published by UNIZO. The magazine comes out every fortnight on Fridays. With a verified circulation of 91,656 copies Z.O. Magazine is by far the largest specialised SME Magazine in Belgium. The UNIZO editorial team provides the content.Z.O. Magazine is the most profitable medium that is aimed at self-employed managers in Flanders, both regarding coverage and selectivity. According to the last Press Range Study carried out by CIM (Centre for Information about the Media), Z.O. Magazine has an average of 108,100 readers per edition and 209,200 readers in total. About 72.4 percent of its core target group is loyal readers and 86 percent read the magazine often to always.Z.O. Magazine covers 19.6 percent of all executives in Belgium and 30.4 percent of all owners, partners and managers of SMEs in Flanders. After four inserts in Z.O. Magazine one even covers 42 percent of this target group. www.unizo.be/zo-magazine

Kyle Leon Scam : For successful weight loss diets are not enough with expensive products, cosmetic surgery and medications. The correct way of weight loss for the vast majority who has "succeeded" is a special combination of diet and exercise. That says a survey of more than 23,000 people.
The research conducted for the U.S. Consumer Union and specifically the area that specializes in health issues. Attended by 22,285 people and the question were related to the body weight, nutritional, dietary and exercise habits. The group of people characterized as "always thin", that there had never been overweight, accounted for 16% of the sample, while those who had "successfully lost weight" accounted for 15%.
These were the people during the survey weighed at least 10% less than it was when I was heavier and it was in this low weight for at least three years. The "losers" were the ones who wanted to be thin but weighed almost as much as the top high weight, and accounted for 42% of the sample. The remaining 27% of the participants were people who had lost weight recently and did not fit into the above categories.Information Resource By Kyle Leon Scam
The results
Among the "always weak" only 3% said they had never exercised and ate what he wanted.
Indeed, eating and exercising habits of the vast majority of "always weak 'people mirrored the dietary and fitness of ware" successfully lost "weight indicating an item that people can stay in good physical condition have a genetic edge. The two specific groups said they were eating healthy, fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and avoiding the unnecessary fat. Also check the size of their calories and exercised regularly at a high pace. The only advantage that had "always thin" versus those who had "successfully lost 'weight was these habits were more normal for them.
However, more than half had successfully lost weight reported that they had achieved on their own without the help of commercial diet programs, medical treatment, a book, or diet pills. These data confirm an earlier opinion survey of Consumer Reports had shown that 83% of people who lose at least 10% of their initial weight and maintain the weight for at least five years or more, have succeeded completely alone.

Taking a Break on Custom Cake
Beginning today SLiCE will be taking a little break. Life has simply become too busy to for me to give each cake and client the attention they deserve. If you already have a cake in the order pipeline, have no fear I'll certainly fulfill my promise to you.
It is clear I need to get to the business of taking care of my family. I have a baby who is changing everyday and I don't want to miss a milestone, and husband who might like to see me more in the evenings and weekends. Thanks to everyone who has ordered a custom cake from me, I have appreciated the opportunity to share in your special events and big occasions! I'll still be more than happy to help, though you may just have to do it with tutorials.
So, I won't be making any cakes for sale for a little bit. But I'll still be quietly working on cake techniques and styles in my studio. I'll put up those photos as they develop.
SLiCE is looking forward to coming back inspired and refreshed. Keep checking back for updates!

My sense of fashion has been wandering lately. Like a rogue traveler, it can't seem to stay in one place: I've been pairing my feminine, frilly things with deconstructed jeans, my Grecian dresses with motorcycle boots. It's an experimental phase that has brought some of my most neglected pieces to the forefront as I put them together in ways I'd never thought to before, and it makes me feel a little like a gypsy, caravanning from one ecclectic outfit to another.
When Mapel contacted me with a reminder that I had store credit to play around with, I chose to get something sparkly, trendy, and perfect for the holiday season…and when it came to my doorstep, I ignored how sparkly and silky it was, and dressed it down with religious amulets and (faux) snakeskin flats.
It seems "gypsy" is accurate.
The top is by Champagne Lace, a brand new designer out of Portland, Oregon. They released their first collection just a few months ago: a holiday-inspired set of silk tees and cardigans with vintage embellishments and sparkly details. They also recycle vintage chandeliers into some of the most delicate, interesting jewelry I've seen in a long time.
This was going to be a capsule collection – one holiday line, and that's it – but Champagne Lace has been selling well enough that another round of designs has just made its way to Mapel's storefront. It sounds like, as long as the designs continue to garner interest at Mapel's website and Leavenworth location, Champagne Lace will keep creating and expanding both thier fashion and jewelry lines.
The thing I love most about this line is the one thing I expected it not to be: versatile. I can see this top transforming almost anything I wear with it: high waisted skirts, fleece pea coats, even diamonds and leather.
Champagne Lace has just added their second collection to Mapel's online store, including some brand new, gorgeous jewelry.
The Waltzing Chandelier earrings ($32) and bracelet ($42) are perfect for Valentines dinners, spring trips to the symphony, dinner parties in which you look way better than the girl your ex started dating…they have such an old-world classiness to them without being too serious (or too expensive).
These cardigans are a great example of vintage embellishment. They're pretty on their own, with great length and construction, but adding that hint of gold at the pocket (Peacock Adorned Silk Cardi, $48) or a hand-adorned chiffon bow (Bowtie Chiffon & Silk Cardi, $48) makes them a little less "prep school." I'm a big proponent of buying basics, but I'll always take a classic top with a little twist over something generic.
The Halo Chandelier Bracelet ($42) and Holiday Silk Headband ($18) are Champagne Lace's more casual pieces of jewelry – I'd default them to "fun office chic" status – but still pretty and classy. I like that the headband doesn't have the standard, everyday flower crap on it; this ruffled, knotted silk is much more fun.
Along with their cardigans and chandelier jewelry, Champagne Lace added more embellished silk tees to their second run. These are the long-sleeve versions (Copper Glimmer and Lustrous Golden, both $34) but you can still get the short-sleeved tops (which both Elle and I have) here. The surprise versatility of these extra-sustainable tees – silk! hand-embellished! vintage! made in the US! local indie designer! – make them a no-brainer for me.
Don't forget: these prices include free shipping and a full satisfaction guarantee. Mapel is known for its customer service – that and their local status are why I can suggest their "corporate labels" without remorse – so it's a safe place to take a risk, knowing you can always return something that doesn't fit right or (god forbid) has a defect.
So, if you want, you can let your style "travel" a little.

Ramakrishna Mission, religious society that carries out extensive educational and philanthropic work in India and is also the foremost exponent in Western countries of a modern version of Advaita Vedanta—a school of orthodox Indian philosophy.
The society was founded in Calcutta (now Kolkata) by Vivekananda in 1897 with a twofold purpose: to spread the teachings of Vedanta as embodied in the life of the Hindu saint Ramakrishna (1836–86) and to improve the social conditions of the Indian people. Ramakrishna, as a direct result of his own spiritual experiences with various religious disciplines, including Christianity and Islam, fully realized the Hindu tenet that all religions are paths to the same goal. In his lifetime there grew about him a small but devoted band of disciples, among whom the young Narendranath Datta (who later took the name Vivekananda) was outstanding and was chosen by Ramakrishna as his successor. These disciples were the nucleus of the Ramakrishna math ("monastery") established at Belur, on the banks of the Ganges near Calcutta, and consecrated in 1898. The Sri Sarada Math, begun in Calcutta in 1953, was made a completely separate organization in 1959, following the earlier wishes of Vivekananda; it and its sister organization, the Ramakrishna Sarada Mission, now operate a number of centres in different parts of India. Several Ramakrishna Mission centres specifically serving women were turned over to the Ramakrishna Sarada Mission.
The Vedanta Society of the City of New York, incorporated in 1898, is the oldest branch of the mission in the United States. It grew out of classes held by Vivekananda while on a visit to the U.S. to appear before the 1893 World's Parliament of Religions in Chicago. The activities of the order spread rapidly during the next half century. In the early 21st century more than 20 branches were operating in the United States, and there were also centres in Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, Fiji, France, Germany, Japan, Malaysia, Mauritius, the Netherlands, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. In India well over 100 math and mission centres carry on various philanthropic activities, including medical service, educational work, publications, and relief work.

And hell yes to Laura Marling and First Aid Kit
I agree with most of this list, BUT Cocorosie:Grey Oceans should DEFINITELY be on here.
This was so weird
This cover is amazing!
I agree, their were about five of these that were tolerable
And no one likes a racist unicorn, that's for damn sure!
I really really love Tegan and Sara but their videos have gotten painfully boring.
A lot of people on here sure do have a lot to say about Cocorosie. Mainly the people who can't stand them. I'm a huge fan of Cocorosie, I've heard all of their music,seen them live,seen and read countless interviews and continue to follow their music career. It wasn't always like this, when I first started listening to Cocorosie I hated it. I thought they were way to weird and that they were only being weird to make up for how annoying they were. But then I listened to them. I heard the lyrics, I opened myself up and got past the initial "wtf?". Slowly but surely they became a band that influenced me in many aspects of my life. They are free, they are not of the norm, they don't give a shit about being famous, they're fucked up, crazy as shit, they wear tacky ass clothes and they are nothing short of beautiful. You don't have to like Cocorosie and you can say that what they make isn't art, but at the end of the day they have a huge fan base that understand them and why they are so great. Maybe one day they will strike you in a way that makes you rethink what they are, maybe not. I'm a fan, their music inspires me and I'm very grateful for their music coming into my life. And I also like Vampire Weekend haha.

WASHINGTON, June 10, 2013 – Senate bill 1009, the Toxic Substances Control Act (also being referred to as the Chemical Safety Improvement Act), now in the Senate's Committee on Environment and Public Works, needs significant modification and improvement.
The goal of the legislation is to better protect the public from toxic chemicals, mostly in everyday household items.
Almost any household product containing chemicals can be dangerous if swallowed or spilled. The average American home has products used daily that together contain over sixty toxic chemicals.
Most American women use more than a dozen products every single day including cleansers, toners, moisturizers, sunscreens and other products. Men use, on average, about 6 products every single day.
Examples of commonly used, potentially dangerous household products are air fresheners, ammonia, bleach, carpet and upholstery shampoos, dishwasher detergents, drain cleaners, furniture polishes, mold and mildew cleaners, oven cleaners, antibacterial cleaners and toilet bowl cleaners.
Products such as these can cause injuries that can range from mild skin irritation to death. Children are more likely to be affected because their smaller bodies are more likely to react to small levels of exposure and because they are more likely than adults to ingest toxins.
SEE RELATED: Suing Wal-Mart: Bad business practices lead to litigation
The proposed legislation is faulty for two reasons:
- It sets up a Federal standard for review, which is fine. But the standard has eliminated the ability of the states to protect their own citizens. When your state can look out for you, your chances of protection increase dramatically compared to relying solely on the Federal government.
- It eliminates chemical industry and manufacturer accountability and civil responsibility. An injured consumer can no longer file a lawsuit.
Under S. 1009, neither consumers nor survivors, under S. 1009, will have the ability to even attempt to recover for the harms and losses toxic chemicals cause.
The bill needs to be dramatically changed to assure that chemical companies are held to high safety standards and that consumer protections are not eliminated, thus leaving the health, and lives of Americans at risk.
SEE RELATED: Tweeters, posters, texters, callers beware: You are creating evidence
Only by providing recourse to the courtroom in a state- by-state process can consumers have the potential to keep the playing field level.
In other words, a lawsuit, or even the threat of a lawsuit, keeps businesses honest.
Significant, behavior-changing examples of the civil justice system at work, where victim compensation and damages were sought and obtained, include suits over asbestos, pharmaceuticals like L-Triptophan, and even breast implants.
In one reported case, a manufacturer of a cleaning agent containing ammonia was found responsible for lung injuries a custodian suffered. The custodian used the cleaner every day in his job. The jury found the manufacturer responsible because it failed to establish concentration levels that would be safe for the average person.
A California company, GIB, settled another case with the California Attorney General after the state sued them. The settlement required product container labeling and warnings on the company's popular hair straightening products known as Brazilian Blowout.
The products had high levels of formaldehyde gas, which was released during use. Formaldehyde is a known carcinogen.
In August, 2012, Johnson & Johnson, without any lawsuit being filed or threatened, announced plans to remove trace amounts of potentially cancer causing and other dangerous chemicals from nearly all its adult toiletries and cosmetic products. In November, it was disclosed that Johnson & Johnson's baby shampoo, sold in America and several other countries, had small quantities of a chemical that has been linked to cancer. The chemical, quaternium-15, was found in the bottles of baby shampoo in the U.S., but had been removed from the shampoo sold in Europe and Japan.
Johnson's pledge to remove "chemicals of concern" from its baby products came after a large coalition of health and environmental groups began pressing it more than three years ago to make its personal care products safer.
The promise by J&J to do so is encouraging, and will be completed, according to the company, within 3 ½ years.
Litigation would have sped up that deadline.
Johnson's products to be "improved" include its baby lotion, Desitin for diaper rash, adult skin care products Aveeno, Neutrogena and Lubriderm, and others.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention inform us that 133 people in American die each year due to unintentional poisoning. Perhaps this is a relatively small number considering the size of our population, unless you are family to one of them.
Chemical manufacturers produce potentially dangerous household substances. They have a duty to make sure that their products do not present an unreasonable risk of harm to consumers.
One of the things our elected officials are supposed to do is protect us. The current bill involving chemical toxins, if it becomes law, does the exact opposite by removing the potential for litigation and by eliminating state involvement.
Call your state Senator and let him or her know you want this legislation improved. Remind them they have families, too.

SAN DIEGO, August 7, 2013 — President Obama has referred to "phony scandals" once again, this time to a group of high school students in Phoenix, Arizona on August 6. Although the primary subject of the speech was America's housing market, this did not stop the President from taking advantage of another opportunity to plant effective talking points.
"But for most of this year," he said, "An endless parade of distractions, political posturing, and phony scandals have shifted focus from what we need to do to shore up the middle class. And as Washington heads towards another budget debate, the stakes could not be higher."
SEE RELATED: Republicans try to revoke Obamacare once again
So far in these speeches, the President has not stopped to list these "phony scandals" but any one who follows the news knows of a wide variety of subjects to chose from including; Benghazi, the AP/Fox issue, Fast and Furious, and the IRS singling out the Tea Party and other conservative groups by making it difficult for them to get their tax exempt status.
Although President Obama now calls the alleged scandals "phony" he sang quite a different tune when they first hit the news. At that time, grave concern was expressed. It is a classicly applied theory of abstract-distract defense.
Regarding the IRS, President Obama said back in May of 2015: "The misconduct that it uncovered is inexcusable. It's inexcusable, and Americans are right to be angry about it and I am angry about it. I will not tolerate this kind of behavior in any agency—but especially in the IRS, given the power that it has and the reach that it has into all of our lives."
Those do not sound like the words of a man describing some "phony scandal."
SEE RELATED: Holder's race agenda may retry Zimmerman on civil rights violations
Similar expressions of anger were offered for each of the other news making controversies. Perhaps the President felt free to express outrage early on in the hopes that no trails would lead back to him.
On the other hand, in an ironic twist of fate, he may be benefiting from a plethora of "scandals" going on side by side. People have short attention spans. They also get easily overwhelmed. Too many problems at one time can turn American citizens numb to the point where they simply stop paying attention.
One juicy scandal like Watergate is captivating. A whole list of seemingly unrelated matters gets tedious. It also lends itself to the possibility that Obama's enemies are simply making things up. Maybe his best defense for a multiplicity of scandals is to subtly suggest that too many accusations make the Republicans rather than the Democrats look suspicious.
President Obama is aware of the human propensity for brainwashing. Perhaps calculated repetition is his best weapon right now. By repeating the phrase "phony scandals" as if it were some kind of mantra, he is offering the simplest solution to an otherwise complex series of problems.

The UK's leading property communications consultancy Halogen initiated a unique project to improve Slough's profile for client British Land, during recent celebrations to mark John Betjeman's centenary
The former poet laureate's ode 'Slough' has dogged the town's image since it was written in 1937. Betjeman's centenary provided a great opportunity to challenge the poem's criticism and put Slough on the map for the right reasons – its success as a centre for global business, sport and the arts
Halogen proposed a gift bag - containing items from successful companies doing business in Slough - to be given to the 250 guests on a special steam train going from London to Bristol – via Slough - for a Betjeman memorial service. Sir Trevor Macdonald, HRH The Duke of Gloucester and current poet laureate Andrew Motion were among guests on the train
The aim of the gift bags was to make passengers think twice about Slough and challenge the town's image by demonstrating just how successful it is
British Land, owner of the Queensmere Observatory Shopping centres in Slough, funded the initiative and provided branded gifts. Honda, Citroen, Mars, Slough Estates and Black & Decker were among the other companies that Halogen persuaded to provide goodies
Commenting on the gift bags, Betjeman's daughter Candida Lycett-Green said: "Passengers on the centenary steam train were blown away by the quality of the gifts and genuinely surprised by how successful Slough has been since the poem was written. The gift bags added an extra special touch to the journey and the day's events to commemorate my father's life and works"
The train stopped at Slough station en route to Bristol, to allow Candida to alight and meet 11-year-old Joanna Okolotowicz, the winner of a competition to write a new poem for Slough. Candida presented Joanna and the Mayor of Slough with a book of her father's poems in which she had written an apology for the Slough poem on behalf of her father, saying that he wished it had never been published – a message which has delighted the Mayor and residents of Slough – and achieved extensive national press coverage

Hi all,
I was put on Toprol, a beta blocker, about 5 years ago. I was going through perimenopause, and I swear it really made my BP go up. For a long time, it was a life-saver. It brought down my BP, my heartrate, it calmed me down so I didn't have panic attacks, and it helped my episodes of hypoglycemia.
Follow-Up Postings:
Beta Blockers have horrific side effects. Getting off of them is a excellent idea. Going off of any medication that you have been taking over a long period of time should be done very very slowely. It needs to be done over a period of 6- 8 weeks. It should be done under the supervision of your doctor though not absolutely necessary. What was the specific reason that he or she put you on them in the first place?? Blood pressure can be lowered naturally and there are many natural products that you can take for anxiety. Robin |
Robin - what kind of side effects? I know someone who has been on Toprol for the last 3 years, and I'm curious. |
- Posted by catherinet (My Page) on Fri, Oct 6, 06 at 19:27
In the middle of perimenopause, something happened.......I don't know what.......but my BP went crazy, as did my heartrate. I was also having tons of migraines, and developed panic attacks. My GERD acted up, and I spent 7 months sleeping upright in a chair, because I had so much upper chest and neck pressure. I saw a cardiologist, and he put me on the Toprol, much to my chagrin. I had so much fatigue from my fibromyalgia, that I didn't want any more. He talked me into going on it, and I have to say it was like a miracle drug for me. It helped ALL my problems. My sympathetic system was on overdrive, and it really calmed me down. It even got rid of all my migraines! I didn't have any more panic attacks at the doctor and dentist's. Well, I'm well in menopause now, and my BP has been stable for a number of years. I've been very fatigued and have gained weight, plus my brain just doesn't work well. I had read that lots of people can't tolerate beta blockers because of the fatigue and memory problems.......so I decided to slowly come down on it. We'll see. I sure would like to think better and have more energy. But if my migraines and panic attacks come back, and my BP and HR go up, I'll go back on it. I know it takes awhile to get used to being off a med that you've been on a long time.......so I need to be patient. |
To name a few side effects. There is an increased risk of congestive heart failure. There is a 30% increased risk for diabetes 1 as well as diabetes 2. All prescription drugs have side effects. Taken long enough these side effects cause new problems for which you will need to take yet additional drugs. Beta blockers are primarily taken for high blood pressure. There are other natural ways to lower blood pressure that are better than the beta blockers. As far as your lack of energy you need to take a B Complex Vitamin daily. Only take it in a capsule form and only as a complex. Avoid any vitamin that contains magnesium stearate or steric acid which can be found under " other ingredients." They kill off the T cells and compromise the immune system. This will boost your energy. Is your blood pressure normal at this time? Good luck to you. Robin |
- Posted by catherinet (My Page) on Sun, Oct 8, 06 at 10:27
I'm finding it hard to believe about the diabetes. I've heard the much older beta blockers might affect CHF.......but the only thing about the newer ones that have anything to do with blood sugar, are that they can mask the symptoms of hypoglycemia........which was a wonderful side-effect for me. Now that I'm coming down on it, I'm back to feeling hypoglycemic. It's hard to believe that coming down just a few milligrams is affecting me so much. I feel like crap......shakey, nervous, my IBS is worse, etc., etc. My husband says "just go back on it." But I've tried to explain its like "withdrawal" from something like heroine. Just because a person has symptoms when coming off a drug, it doesn't mean they should go back on it. Sometimes our bodies have become so used to something, even if it's full of bad side-effects, it takes awhile for it to adjust to life without it. I have always been supersensitive to medications. I have fibromyalgia, and I think alot of us have that problem. That's why I am always very hesitant to start any new med.......because I know that it will be hell coming off of it. |
You are right. One of the side effects of some medicines is what is called a rebound effect. The symptoms come back because you have gone off of the medication. This will go away if you stick with it. If your blood pressure starts to go back up I can tell you how to bring it back down with a natural herbal tea. That is right a tea that works better than any blood pressure lowering drug that you will ever take and it only costs pennies a day. Too many doctors are prescribing blood pressure lowering drugs for people who don't need it. Would you care to tell me what your normal pressure is when you are off of the meds. Here is a web site that should be very informative. Mercola.com He is a medical doctor who practices alternative medicine. You can type in your disease or your meds and you will get his alternative prospective. It was on his web site that he mentioned diabetes and beta blockers. Look for yourself. there are also effective alternatives for your IBS. Stick with it and get off of those meds. Feel better. Robin |

In 1821, Major Charles Wilhelm Bulow acquired 4,675 acres of wilderness bordering a tidal creek that would bear his name. Using slave labor, he cleared 2,200 acres and planted sugar cane, cotton, rice and indigo. Soon after the plantation was established, Major Bulow died and his son John took over operations. The plantation prospered until the outbreak of the Second Seminole War. After the war, the plantation was abandoned. In 1836, the Seminoles burned 'Bulowville' along with other plantations in the area. All that is left today are the coquina ruins of the sugar mill, several wells, a spring house and the crumbling foundation of the mansion. The cleared fields have been reclaimed by the forest, and the area looks much as it did when it belonged to the Seminoles.
On a sunny afternoon at the dedication ceremony in 1954, the world was introduced to Bulow Ruins State Historic Site. The prosperous plantation once located here focused on growing and producing sugar. Mr. Charles Wilhelm Bulow purchased this land in 1821 and immediately, through the use of slave labor, cleared 2,200 acres for the specific purpose of planting sugar cane. The mill he erected to manufacture the sugar cane into the finished sugar product was one of the largest built in the southern United States. When he died in 1823, his young son John Joachim Bulow took over his father's plantation. During his travels through Florida, John James Audubon visited the Bulow plantation, describing in his writings the hospitality shown by the young Bulow to his guests. The local Indian population, hired to supply meat to the plantation, also thought highly of Bulow. During the coming years, due to the unstable situation between the Indians and the military, a wedge was driven between Bulow and the Seminoles who burnt the plantation and mill on the morning of January 11, 1836. Today, visitors can walk through the ruins of this massive mill site and admire the work of the master stone masons and appreciate the rugged technology of the remaining stonework, which survived the fires that brought an end to an era.
This image captured the Bulow ruins before state ownership cleaned up the location and made it accessible to visitors. The eerie stone walls and towering trees call to visitors to step back in time and let the old buildings tell their story. Smell the history and hear the steam powered mill crushing cane into syrup or imagine the shouts of the overseer to the slaves carrying out the difficult and heat-intensive labor. This land, once cleared for agriculture, now stands tall with old growth timber and speaks of a time long gone, but never forgotten.
Throughout the centuries, time has brought many changes to this area. Life on the Bulow plantation has been recorded both in written and family accounts. Its rapid rise and destruction are well-documented, but little is known of the families whose lives were affected. Those families included not only the wealthy land owners of the times, but the enslaved workers forced to work on the plantation. Walkways lead the casual visitor through many sections of the park and signs interpret the powerful mill, the grand scope of the factory and the associated machinery that processed the cane into sugar. Along a short trail through what has since been reclaimed by the forest are the meager remains of the plantation's slave quarters. Time has nearly erased all signs of the slave's existence, lived out in tiny wooden houses with dirt floors. This plantation, as with many in the south, owed its success to the workers who manned the machines, not just the machinery and buildings.
A stone plaque mounted on the wall of the sugar mill, dated January 12, 1831, marked the hey day of this great operation. Sometime prior to the Florida Park Service taking ownership of the property, vandals removed the plaque as a trophy of the discovery they felt they had made. In 2008, out of respect for this lost item and following research on the plaque, a replica was fashioned based on the early watercolor postcard and placed in the same location. The mission of the Florida Park Service is to provide resource-based recreation while preserving, interpreting and restoring natural and cultural resources. Although there are always those who seek to abuse items of cultural significance, the state of Florida seeks to protect and keep them safe. Visitors to this site can witness firsthand the preservation and conservation measures implemented to protect and interpret Bulow plantation so that future generations can continue to visit and learn about this important era in Florida's past.
The Old Beach Road, as it is called now, was the original road leading to and from the Bulow plantation. During the 1800s products produced at this site were shipped by wagons and boats to locations such as St. Augustine. The Kings Road was built to connect St. Augustine and other southern points like New Smyrna. Some sections of the original Kings Road are still visible today. The Old Beach Road, only one wagon wide, still serves as the plantation entrance bringing visitors from Old Kings Road into this beautiful state park. It is easy to imagine the rugged setting compared to modern day paved roads. Life back then, like the wagons transporting the sugar, molasses and rum, moved at a slower pace.

0Nov 16, '04 by jascraftHi blondiii. I am from Belarus - this is very western country from former Soviet Union.
Thanks for your good words. What is interesting I am going to get Illinois license. So probably we will work together sometimes.
And here is my advice: It's not bad to join to the studying groop, but sometimes it can become the waste of time. (At least it was in my case). You never know the level of understanding the subject of everybody. Try to understand everything at first. Try to get deep into the ideas, physiology and ethiology of disease, then try to imagine the possible ways of trating the patient and idea of getting risk from adverse effects of meds or condition.... Try to play a doctor (even on our level) with your abstract patient. It was my big mistake when I studied this stupid questions for the school tests and didn't use my own imagination about every disease. Plus meds... I have an idea about making something like helping system for the students about how to study. So feel free to ask me any questions.Last edit by jascraft on Nov 16, '04 -
0Nov 16, '04 by blondiiiIt is fantastic that you have come so far in your studies, Jascraft. I am going to apply that advice of yours. Yes, many times TOO much concern with spitting back memorized information gets in the way of THINKING, about the big picture. Like I noticed when I try to push in too much information in too short a time, my short term memory rebels and starts mixing things up, forgetting, and the information gets lost. These will be life and death situations. This may sound elementary, but the main things so far that have sunk in with me are:
1. Not killing the patient with some stupid thoughtless move (like the wrong bed position, call light nearby, not falling....)
2. Standard precautions
3. Distracting the patient from his/her discomfort by making them feel relaxed and smiling
Vital signs etc.
Welcome to Illinois! -
0Nov 17, '04 by tommycherPart of the trick to passing the NCLEX is to know how to take the test. In the front of the NCLEX-PN by Saunders second edition, there is a guide on how to eliminate the wrong answers in a question, which helps you to know the right answer. Knowing the HOW of testing makes it so much easier. Good luck and keep up the positive attitude!

New from T'ruah
T'ruah Statement on Terror Attack in Tel Aviv
T'ruah denounces today's terror attack against Israelis in Tel Aviv. There can be no justification for brutal attacks against civilians at any time. Every religion prohibits attempted murder or harm of a creation in the divine image.
We pray for complete healing, both of body and spirit, for all those wounded and their families.
We call on Israeli politicians to refrain from using this individual act to incite more hatred or to advance political goals during this election season.
Along with the nation of Israel and people around the world, we pray for justice and peace, for a time when all people will be able to "sit under their vines and their fig trees, and no one will give them reason to fear." (Micah 4:4)
Newest Update: Asylum Seekers in Israel
On January 12th, reports surfaced that asylum seekers' rooms at Holot Prison have no heat, and their space heaters are being confiscated by prison guards. People who survived abuse and torture are huddled together under blankets and freezing in Israel, where they fled seeking refuge. Learn more and take action.
Mass Incarceration Reform is a Jewish Issue
Today, we—as rabbis, cantors, and community leaders—announce the launch of T'ruah's campaign for mass incarceration reform.

Protect files with ease
Protect files on your PC and when they're sent to others easily and effectively.
This full-service encryption program easily and effectively protects files on your PC and when they're sent to others.
Lavasoft Digital Lock's user interface is straightforward and easy to navigate. The left-hand buttons are self-explanatory, but helpful explanations for each one are displayed on the right side of the screen to further help new users. The program supports drag-and-drop functionality to add files, and we were impressed by the options (shred, delete, or leave) for the source file after encrypting it. The log file also provides users with encryption activity and information.
What really sets this program apart are the decryption options. In addition to options for handling the source file after encryption, you can choose to open the file once it's been decrypted, and even re-encrypt the file once it's been closed. We were also able to easily create a self-extracting file using the same drag-and-drop method, and recipients had no problems opening the file with the provided password.
Thirty days is more than enough time to try out this creme de la creme of encryption programs. We highly recommend it for all user levels. It left no traces on our PC when we uninstalled it.

With the advent of Outlook Web Access (or OWA as it is popularly known as), Exchange server mailboxes became accessible through a web browser via internet. The scene changed to "web browser is where the Outlook application is"! While the improvement in accessibility is an advantage, as people have access to their Exchange server mailboxes via laptops or iphones, on the flipside this also poses new security challenges to the administrators: keeping track of who accessed emails of his organization's Exchange servers! This is effectively taken care of by Exchange Reporter Plus' Outlook Web Access reports. Exchange Reporter Plus's OWA reports gives an insight in to how the Outlook Web Access environment is used across users, browsers, client IP addresses and servers. Exchange Reporter Plus houses four different types of Outlook Web Access reports that cater to different OWA administrative needs, and is presented both in a numeric and graphic format. The reports available with Exchange Reporter Plus are: Logon By Users Report These Outlook Web Access Reports provide an Exchange Administrator with comprehensive and actionable data, and helps keep a constant vigil over the activities revolving around the Exchange Server when accessed using Outlook Web Access! |

I'm Moving To Washington State
Nope, this is not a joke! I'm moving to Bellingham, Washington this coming September… no job changes – still working with AT&T, just going to a new part of the country!
Back in March, I took a trip out to Washington to visit a few people, one of whom is my dear friend Suzy Tonini. Suzy and her husband Ron moved from Bend, OR to Bellingham last year and just couldn't say enough good things about it, so I wanted to check out what all the buzz was about. Even though I was only there for one day, and it was pretty damp and overcast, I found it to be beautiful, cozy, and some place I wanted to check out again. When I left, I told Suzy that I wanted to come back out in the summertime and see if I still loved Bellingham as much. I visited Washington earlier this month to visit my significant other in Richland and also spent a week working from Suzy and Ron's place (which by the way has the most gorgeous view of Bellingham Bay and some amazing sunsets!), and confirmed my love affair with the area. I set about looking at places to rent and settled on a cute place just north of Suzy with a gorgeous mountain lake view.
Those who know me know my love of the water (I grew up in Southwest FL 15 minutes from the beach), and living in landlocked Ohio for the last 7 years has given me the itch to get back to some water. As much as I love the friendships I have developed in Cincinnati, I feel it's time for me to try a new place on for size.
I am going to seriously miss the social media community I've come to love here in the 'Nati, but I am looking forward to embracing a new one in Bellingham. To the best of my knowledge, there isn't a lot going on there right now with regards to social media, so it might be a fantastic opportunity to get something started. I welcome advice from anyone who has been on the ground floor of developing an interest in social media in your cities. I think Suzy and I will have a blast building this in Bellingham!
So, on to the important stuff! Below is a map of the travel route I am planning to take to get out there. It is a daunting trip, covering nearly 2,500 miles, but it looks like it's taking me through some really beautiful places, including Montana, a state I've never seen. I know that many of you live along this route, and if I'll be cruising through or near your town, let me know and we'll see if we can meet up! I especially know there are lots of you in Minneapolis – I'd LOVE to get together with all of you on my way through. Let me know how we can make that work…
I am planning to move at the very end of August, or over Labor Day weekend (1st weekend in September) depending on what my current landlord will allow. Either way, it will be sometime between August 28th and September 3rd. I received confirmation from my landlord that I can stay in my current place until 9/4, so I will be leaving Cincinnati on Friday, September 4th and plan to arrive in Bellingham on Labor Day (September 7th).
For my friends in Ohio, I hope that I'll get to see you at least one more time before I leave. I will miss this area for sure, but as I still have family here I'm sure I'll be back to visit from time to time And…I hope that some of you will come out to visit me in Bellingham! There is so much to do out there – skiing on Mt. Baker, mountain biking, clamming and crabbing in the summertime, and I have to say that the food is SO fresh and delicious! Plus, it's located 1 1/2 hours north of Seattle and an hour south of Vancouver (location of the 2010 Winter Olympics!) so I will have easy access to some interesting cities. My door is always open, so please come visit.
I am looking forward to this new chapter in my life – there will be so many new experiences to be had for sure!

For sure If they marked it as "fixed" they have found and fixed something that in their understading was the bug.

Do you know if this bug has been faced by other people too?

I guess that list needs the Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground attribute set with QWidget::setAttribute().

It has been so much fun for Brenda and I to see the pictures of your completed Just Takes 2™ quilts from 2012. Those of you who stuck with it though all 100 blocks have made some pretty awesome quilts. You've made us proud! Just because we're moving on to 2013 doesn't mean you should give up on the quilt that was "Just Too Much" or was taking "Just Too Long". Keep stitching away and when you need a break you can make one of the 2013 Just Takes 2™ blocks!
They're quick, easy and oh so cute. We're probably starting you off with one of the more difficult blocks but we know you won't shy away from the challenge!
The fabric requirements and lots of other important information is on the Basic Information Page for the 2013 Schoolhouse Quilt at the Just Takes 2 blog site. We encourage you to post pictures, ask questions and share your progress at Just Takes 2 too.
This is the basic layout for the quilt. There are 20 blocks and just like last year you'll receive one block on the first of the month here at Sentimental Stitches™ and then on the 15th of the month you'll get a block at Dear Jane. Brenda and I both have pages on our web sites for the Just Takes 2 quilts.
This is the master block for the quilt. See that wide open square? That's where you'll be sewing in each of the twenty little quilt blocks you'll be making throughout the rest of this year. You can make the schoolhouses each month as the blocks are presented or you can use the strip piecing instructions and have them ready and waiting for each little block that comes out.
As you can see there are two shades of red used in the block. A red solid and a lighter red print. This won't be the case in every block but it does happen in quite a few of the blocks so if you wanted to add a third color to the design you could.

AL-QUDS – Citing Israel's latest incursions in the holy city, Palestinians are raising alarm over the growing numbers of Jewish synagogues around Al-Aqsa compound that changed the demographics of Al-Quds in a bid to impose a "misleading reality".
"Surrounding Al Aqsa Mosque with Jewish synagogues has been an old Israeli policy to impose new realities on the ground," Ahmad Qurei, a member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) Executive Committee and Head of the PLO Department for Jerusalem Affair, said in a statement cited by Gulf News on Sunday, March 30.
"And to create a new scene where the Jewish colonists will have the necessary chance to divide the holy shrine in terms of worship times and place."
Reports claim that about 100 Jewish synagogues and ultraorthodox schools are surrounding Al-Aqsa mosque compound in occupied Jerusalem.
Surrounding the holy site with Jewish synagogue was deemed as a part of a "carefully designed plan to Judaize" Al-Quds, according to Al Aqsa Institution for Al Waqf and Heritage.
"In the past couple of years, the Israeli occupation has set up two major synagogues that are only tens of meters away from Al Aqsa Mosque with a third in the process of being set up," said Mahmoud Abu Al Attah, the media coordinator of the Al-Aqsa institution.
"The Jewel of Israel synagogue will yet be a new centre for the Jewish colonists around Al Aqsa Mosque in [occupied] east Jerusalem," he said.
Those synagogues, according to Attah, accommodate far right colonists, rabbis and graduate ultraorthodox students.
As Palestinian officials warned of the escalating threats to the existence of Al-Aqsa mosque, Israel supported Jewish synagogues plans.
"The Jewel of Israel Synagogue is major catastrophe that will catastrophically affect the future of [the] Muslims' third holiest Mosque," Qurei, the member of the PLO Executive Committee, said.
According to Qurei, Israel has assigned million shekels to construct a Jewish synagogue which is expected to spark fury and angry protests by the Palestinians.
Demolishing homes
As plans to build Jewish synagogues got the green light, hundreds of Palestinian compounds are being bulldozed by the occupation forces consistently.
A few days ago, a complex that includes a mosque, apartments and media centre was demolished by Israeli forces.
The Mayor of Jerusalem "approved construction in the area...[but]...the Israeli ministry of interior opposed construction," Abu Ghaliya, the owner of the compound, was quoted by Maan News Agency.
Abu Ghaliya's complex was destroyed without prior notice form the occupation authorities.
It followed harsh efforts over the past 18 years to get permission to build the complex that was finally approved by the mayor.
In 2013, Israel has demolished more than 500 Palestinian homes in the West Bank and the occupied East Jerusalem, according to the UN.
About 20% of demolished Palestinian homes in Al-Quds were funded by international aid groups.
Al-Aqsa is the Muslims' first Qiblah [direction Muslims take during prayers] and it is the third holiest shrine after Al Ka`bah in Makkah and Prophet Muhammad's Mosque in Madinah, Saudi Arabia.
Its significance has been reinforced by the incident of Al Isra'a and Al Mi'raj — the night journey from Makkah to Al-Quds and the ascent to the Heavens by Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be Upon Him).

During WWI, the Pinkenba wharves on the Brisbane River were the point of embarkation for many Australian troops, including members of the Light Horse. Not far from where soldiers were waved off, a solid cairn memorial stands remembering those who did not return.
The Pinkenba monument unveiled by His Excellency the Governor Sir Hamilton Goold-Adams on 16 August 1919, records the names of 42 men who enlisted from the Toombul district, eight of whom died.
... moreThis memorial features the bronze work of skilled Norwegian migrant Ernest Gunderson, also known for his war memorial commissions in Gayndah and Dalby. A plinth of cast rusticated-finish concrete blocks supports an obelisk-like bronze pedestal with Doric columns at each corner. This section contains the honour roll. A small dome sits atop a square platform with an upright artillery shell and a laurel wreath, all in bronze, projecting from the dome.
Pinkenba's war memorial is not intact: miniature bronze mounted troopers and soldiers have long since disappeared.
A WWII memorial plaque, set on a basalt stone, sits nearby, recording local enlistments and the four who died.

Lions Join Call for Action on Blindness
Geneva, Switzerland, May 21, 2009 – The 62nd World Health Assembly, governing body of the World Health Organization (WHO), today endorsed the WHO Action Plan for the Prevention of Avoidable Blindness and Visual Impairment. Lions Clubs International Foundation joins the endorsement as a member organization of the International Agency for the Preventation of Blindness, a group comprised of blindness prevention organizations worldwide.
Worldwide, 45 million people are blind, and 269 million live with serious visual impairment. Yet 80 percent of blindness is from avoidable causes, which could be readily prevented, treated or cured by known and cost-effective methods.
The plan aims to expand efforts by member states, WHO and international partners in VISION 2020, to prevent blindness and visual impairment by the development of comprehensive eye health programmes at national & sub-national levels. It sets out current experience, draws on the recognised achievements and deals with gaps in implementing activities over the past decades.
The Action Plan was drafted by the WHO Prevention of Blindness team. Delegates appreciated the high technical quality of the document and congratulated WHO on this accomplishment. Many delegates referred to ongoing prevention of blindness activities in their countries and in this context they highlighted the value of the Global Initiative VISION 2020: The Right to Sight in improving eye health and facilitating the development of eye care services.
WHO team leader for Prevention of Blindness & Deafness, Dr. Ivo Kocur said, "Adoption of the Action Plan by the WHA is a major accomplishment and will provide additional unprecedented support to VISION 2020 and our joint efforts to improve eye health internationally."
Twenty-nine member States spoke in support of the Action Plan: Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, Russia, Iraq, Ethiopia, Jamaica, The People's Republic of China, Japan, Morocco, Bahrain, Venezuela, Saint Lucia, Australia, United States of America, Malaysia, Philippines, Cuba, Italy, Gambia, Myanmar, Columbia, Paraguay, Korea, Chile, Thailand, Suriname, India, Lesotho & Greece.
During the discussion, Christian Garms, President of the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB), made a statement on behalf of IAPB which underlined the value of its collaboration with WHO and willingness to further support joint activities: In a letter to IAPB's 107 members, Garms noted that alongside the two WHA resolutions on prevention of blindness and vision impairment, adopted in 2003 and 2006, this endorsement would mark "a major milestone in the history of prevention of blindness and once again proves the value of our strong relationship and excellent collaboration with WHO."

quote:Originally posted by cycleroadie:The spotlights are actually done via a second set of DIODER LEDs.
I was actually thinking of using a dollhouse style spotlight but those are only 12 volts. Would be cool to have something of a miniature squared off spotlight at the bottom.
As for the LUT, have seen the site and yes it looks very cool. Spoke with the fellow about this and he has planned to do a 1/72 of the LUT.
Only question is this, do end up having to cut out the top to accommodate the additional height? Still waiting for the delivery. All pics posted then... hate waiting.

This is the kit: DIODER Multipurpose lighting
On the LUT, it will be too tall for the Detolf by quite a bit.
Found the inner orange tank ends for two of the stages came loose but are easy enough to glue back (if there is a desire to display horizontally like the real thing). Seems to have all the engines included. Model does look cool and lets face it, who among you Saturn V lovers wouldn't want a 600 lb gorilla to show off?
Given some of the inner details, makes me think of buying another for horizontal display. Detolf on either side and a mid level shelf to display another between the two horizontally is an idea.
Got the four LED strips and the four pack Dioder low profile LED's. Like the idea of using them at an angle at the bottom to shine up to the rocket.
As for the LUT, waiting a month for the 1/72 from the guy on eBay to have them available. As for size, might have to cut the top panel to accommodate, still thinking about options.
Quick question for those guys who are swapping the top with the Apollo 10 CM/LM clear display: was that a model kit or a die cast version? Model number if you have it would be great.
Any thoughts of which Dragon versions would be best or even possible to combine with this? Any other ideas on good additional IKEA cases to go with the Detolf? Thanks to all of the guys with pictures and ideas.

I have been doing some scale measuring of the Saturn V model and Dragon has got it incorrect with the SLA and the Instrument Unit. Those people that want to add the LEM to the kit would be advised to get the Dragon kit with the CSM and SLA without the black section at the bottom or remove it from the kit.
This is in fact part of the Top Skirt which they included in their separate kit and used this by mistake I think. Dragon has made the error of including it in the kit which is incorrect as it is there molded in the third stage already supplied.
The Saturn V measures out correctly with the extra piece removed. I have measured it against the official NASA dimensions of the Saturn V using the stations measurements as reference. What you will need to do is mask and paint the bottom section of the SLA black but do not paint the dog tooth hinge section, mask the top section to a straight line.
I hope all this makes sense to someone and on a lighter note I cut down my base supplied in the kit and the Saturn V fits in the Ikea display case perfectly. No custom base required. Just measure 0.25 inch below the top and mask with 0.25 inch masking tape. Scribe the line until you cut through and then lightly sand the bottom level and you're done. Photo enclosed.
Hope this info helps someone out. More to come as I rework the kit.

You know, they will release the Saturn V later in the year as an unassembled kit? Dragon gave me the information last week.

I thought this was too good to be true, having a giant Saturn V. The kit version is no use to me, as I am hopeless at making models.

It looks stunning. And it was this group coming together to share ideas that made it happen because there is no way I would have known about the model or thought about display without this group. Thank you.

A little more expensive at £224 including shipping but if you want one check it out.
It is a pity Launch Complex Models never continued and released everything that they had promised. Their stuff was really good.
I really like the model more and more. For the price/quality ratio, I'm happy.

Has anyone put together a collated list of all the inaccuracies and/or missing features on this model? It would be helpful to have them all in one place for easy reference.
I have reasonably good modeling skills, but I don't know of an easy way to mask off the stringer ("corrugated") sections needed to reprint and correct the overspray problem. Anyone have any brilliant solutions?
I use normal hobby paint such as Floquil or the Tamiya synthetic lacquers that I decant from their spray cans and then push it through and airbrush. I always use lacquer thinner with my paints and they dry fast and do not peel or pull up with tape.
Tamiya lacquers do not harm plastic at all and you can use their thinner to clean plastic before you paint.
Posts: 260From: Registered: Sep 2001
Once this has dried, apply masking tape on the non-painted side as close to the marker line as possible (you will need to mask off the other areas that you don't want paint on also), if done carefully, this will keep under spray off the side you don't want paint on and give you a nice crisp line (the eye won't be able to see the marker).
This works really well in corrugated areas.
Will now get the Ikea display case and the Airfix 1/72 LEM to put in the adapter section.

Can you give us some details on the stand beside the model? Thank you.
The display case is one I picked up at a furniture store here in Spokane several years ago.
Normally there is a CM LIOH canister signed by Buzz Aldrin and a cluster of RCS thrusters in the open shelves. I was out talking to a couple of elementary schools yesterday and did not get the items put away when I took the photo.
