Anyone taking Zocor??
I have been taking Zocor for about 3 mo. now and it is lowering my Cholesterol, but for the last 2 weeks I have been having trouble walking when I first get up from bed, a chair, anything thing I am doing in a laying or sitting position threw out the day. My legs hurt and feel weak and the pain goes into my back.
Is any one else on this and noticed anything.
I think I am going to stop taking it for a week and see what happens.
Thanks for your in-put.
Why do you suspect this is a side effect of the Zocor, given that you used it for 2 1/2 months without incident? I would see a doctor immediately about your pain.
I took Zocor (20mg) for several years without any trouble. I switched to Lipitor about a year ago in part because my insurance plan dropped Zocor from its subsidised drug list.
I didn't take a pill last night and no pain this morning!
I have a strange reaction to medicines. I am allergic to almost all antiobotics. The Zithromax is all I can take and I am always afraid I will develope a reaction to it one of these days. Seems like I can take stuff for a few monthes then the next time I have a real bad reaction to it and the doctor adds it to my alergic to list. So that is why I was wondering if anyone else had this reaction to Zocor.
One of the side effects of many of the cholesterol-lowering drugs is muscle weakness and pain, and it may be a sign of serious problems. And I do mean serious. This effect can happen at any time while taking the drug, as it is not an allergy or intolerance.
You really need to see a doctor ASAP. At least rule out the possibility of the Zocor causing the pain.
From the product label:
"Unexplained muscle pain or weakness could be a sign of a rare but serious side effect and should be reported to your doctor right away.
Muscle: Tell your doctor right away if you experience any unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness at any time during treatment with ZOCOR so your doctor can decide if ZOCOR should be stopped. Some patients may have muscle pain or weakness while taking ZOCOR. Rarely, this can include muscle breakdown resulting in kidney damage. The risk of muscle breakdown is greater in patients with kidney problems or diabetes."
Muscle breakdown causes the release of myoglobin into the bloodstream, where the kidney is supposed to filter it out. But myoglobin is a large protein that may clog the blood vessels in the kidneys, starving the kidneys for oxygen. Once hypoxic damage is done to the kidney, it is IRREVERSIBLE! You could go into permanent kidney failure, resulting in death or life-long dialysis.
Please do not delay in at least talking with your doctor about your pain. If you notice red-brown urine, RUN do not walk to the emergency room and explain what is going on.
I cannot stress enough how serious this side effect can be.
abdominal pain
trouble sleeping
are some of the side effects of zocor.
Here is a link that might be useful: side effects of zocor
My step daughter had such severe back pain that she had back surgery. It did not help, the pain came back. We were talking doctors and meds and I told her of my experience with Zocor. Her face literally turned pale, she had been on Zocor. When I was on it...it felt like some one was sticking an ice pick in my back when I got up in the morning. Two doctors told me it doesn't cause that kind of pain. BUT when I quit, the pain went away. Our tour bus driver's wife told me her husband took it for a while and quit because it felt like someone stuck an ice pick in his feet. It quit when he quit taking it. Doctors denied it was cause by Zocor.
They are covering up the side effects. 3 people I know personally have "Lost" their thyroid because of Zocor.They will be taking thyroid medication rest of their lives. I had warned my bro. but he didn't quit, now too late. Then DIL had 9 thyroid tumors & had to go 120 miles to see dr. in 3 weeks, I told her she couldn't have surgery while on Zocor so to stop it, she did & Dr said the tumors had shrunk & asked what she did. She remembered I told her to stop taking it. If you checked out drs drug book, those huge ones it says it causes cancer in mice/rats. No problem, OK to use on humans, used to be if caused cancer they wouldn't use drug, now it is if they think it does a lot of good, use it anyway & deal with effects later. But the real dilly is GF's hubby, had open heart surgery ,did great & dr. just decided to give him Zorcor even tho numbers were fine. Went up north to Wash. & felt like he had flu then legs got weak, really weak so bad he had to have his wife hold on to him so he didn't fall. They did a workup & said it was rare side effect, forgotten the name but polyneuritis/muscle problem, I wrote it on another post on here much earlier.It's about 2 yrs later now & he had to take prednisone for 18 mos. as when they tried taking him off it the symptoms returned & finally he was OK but weaker. They said it might come back because once nerves & muscles are damaged they don't always recover. I personally have known5 people on Zocor(or generic for it) & all 5 have had bad outcomes, don't think this is unusual,(my dad said he wish he were dead after taking it, I told him to stop, no reason to hurt all over) I suspect it may be more the norm but as long as drug companies make money off this stuff, they don't care.
Muscle weakness is not rare at all. It is probably at the top of the list. I had a neighbor that took it and the doc kept reassuring him it was not the zocor. By the time he found a new doctor, it was to late. I think it may be true of other chlorestral meds, not just Zocor.
There are several side effects of all statins. I took Zocor for several years with seemingly no problems. Then I started feeling so tired I couldn't keep awake during the day and my muscles felt weak and I had to lie down for a little while after going upstairs. I couldn't go for a walk because I felt so tired and wobbly.
'I was also loosing my memory. I couldn't carry on a conversation - I just stammered and searched my mind for the word I wanted. My sister would usually finish the sentence for me. I worried I was having dementia or Alzheimer's. My doctor said no, it was because I've had diabetes since I was 12 and now am in my early 70's and the blood vessels shrink in my brain. After reading up on statins I decided to just stop taking it. My cholesterol was 130 and I eat very little food with cholesterol anyway. Since I have gall bladder problems my doctor said I should go on a gall bladder diet so I usually eat a turkey and Vegenaise sandwich and veggies and fruit.
When I saw my doctor a couple months ago he said I NEED to be on a statin because of my diabetes. He gave me a sample of Crestor saying it was only 10 mgs instead of the 40 mgs of Zocor I had been taking so that should solve my problems.
Whoa! I couldn't keep awake at all for most of the day! I would eat breakfast and immediately fall asleep in my recliner. I couldn't even brush my teeth. I would be ASLEEP until 2:30 p.m - and I mean asleep! How the heck can I control my diabetes or exercise like that?! My blood sugar was all over the place - from 30 to over 300. The rest of the day was horrible, too. Barely awake and not able to stay awake during the evening to watch a TV show.
I looked up Crestor and found it is the STRONGEST statin and is called a super statin! Several people on line said they would rather die early than take that! I had told my sister that the day before. I went back to the doctor and he tried to tell me that I needed to be on a statin and I said I'm NOT taking it. Then he said he wasn't trying to hurt me and that I was someone who couldn't tolerate it. As I left he said, "You know, i'm going to get lots of letters from the insurance companys asking why I took you off statins." You'd think they would be happy they didn't have to pay for it!
Since I have been off of both of them I am getting much better. My memory is pretty much back to normal, I'm not sleeping the day away and my muscles are getting a lot stronger. I asked my DD to take me out to a mall so I can walk around during the week. I am not out of breath climbing the stairs anymore.
'So I say read up on statins. Some doctors say they are poison and many sites warn of the side effects. One doctor on line says older people NEED some cholesterol in their diet especially older women. Many people do need them especially if they are over weight but we should be aware of the side effects.

If you're a poor employee, you'll have a job there forever. It doesn't matter how much your co-workers make an official complaint.
They pretend to be giving you a raise and a promotion with a new "title" and little pay raise but in reality they are just saying a lot of money by always sending hourly workers home right and their forty hours and keeping except employees for fourteen hours extra every week for you to finish the work yourself. Yet they promote team work?? Please!
Quit being politicians.
All the good qualities you claim to be that you advertise, none of your phlebotomists agree with it. I bet the senior leadership group loves it though.
Maybe you should take a reality look at the bottom of your food chain.

"Overall, a great place to work with positive leaders. "

- Career Opportunities
I have been working at Sonora Quest Laboratories full-time (more than a year)Pros
The benefits are excellent. The people are friendly and greet you when you walk down the hall. There are lots of job opportunities if you are qualified and lots of people transfer. The 401k matching at 4% is nice. The Biometrics screening and money off our health care premiums are great. The ATM program payout is nice every six months. Discounts and purchasing power are great incentives also. The fact that they do surveys so often is great because they seem to want our feedback.Cons
They underpay certain positions and overpay in others. Some of the techs make like $60-70k a year when the rest of us (with degrees but not in biology or medical fields) make twenty-something thousand.
Offer more entry level positions for departments. For example, Customer Systems keeps opening positions for SENIOR level. When you apply for jobs in the field elsewhere, they require experience also. How are we supposed to get experience if you won't give us the chance? I understand that they are posted on a needs basis, but it seems fishy that they have been all senior level for years. The same thing exists in other departments. I'm young and want to have a fair chance in this company or others but it's proven ridiculously difficult to meet the "as usually demonstrated by 3-5 years in the industry" requirement.
No paid holidays. We shouldn't have to take our paid holidays out of our paid time off. If you can't afford to give us both, at least separate them to two separate things so it doesn't make it seem like we get a lot of vacation, but then realize if we can't work 6 of those days, we really have 6 less for actual vacations. 23 days- 6 holidays isn't 23 days. It's 17 days and 6 holidays. Because those 6 holidays can rarely be combined with other PTO because of scheduling conflicts, it seems misleading.
The senior leadership shouldn't try to be sneaky and make an almost laughable goal sharing payout for the year. They have it set this year to where we have to hit 96% to even get anything. We haven't hit 96% in years so why even publish the plan if there's almost no chance we're going to get anything but the safety portion? Why not offer us a small check if we make it to 90%, a slightly larger check at 91% and so on? If they want to take away the program, just do it. Don't pretend you're giving us money when the chances are almost non-existent. I'm pretty sure a lot of naive employees didn't read the plan and are getting their hopes up for a check when there will likely only be one for safety.
I wish they had a cafeteria or some kind of a traveling food truck. The Lady Bug prices are getting ridiculous and they should have more options than just one place for those of us that don't get a clocked out lunch. Employers this large usually offer something like that. I'm sure it'd be voted for by the employees to at least have a food truck or delivery service come by.
They asked about who would be interested in fitness classes on campus and what times, but nothing ever came about from that.
TUITION REIMBURSEMENT!!! Need I say more? I understand if you can't afford to offer $5,000 a year anymore, but can't you spare $20 to help a student out? It's kind of silly that you didn't just cut the funding down substantially, but instead, crushed my hope of going back to school.
This All-or-Nothing approach to tuition reimbursement and bonus checks is annoying to those of us who think that every little bit helps. We're all just trying to get through this rough economic time together. Help me get my Masters degree and I'd be a more valuable employee to you anyway.Advice to ManagementAdvice

When you cut on your finger or scrape your knee, cells rush to the wound and repair or replace the damaged tissue. But how exactly this works – in particular how certain cells become "leaders" in the process – has long been a mystery. Now researchers at the University of Arizona (UA) have identified the mechanisms that cause and regulate this collective cell migration. Armed with this knowledge, biomedical engineers will be able to design new tissue regeneration treatments for diabetes and heart disease as well as for slowing or stopping the spread of cancer.

Injectable polymer curbs blood loss by strengthening clots
With uncontrolled bleeding the major cause of deaths on the battlefield, researchers at the University of Washington have developed an injectable polymer that could stem bleeding and provide extra time to get the injured to medical care. Called PolySTAT, the new polymer stems blood loss by strengthening blood clots. Read More
Man-made ligament could replace ruptured ACLs
If you follow sports at all, then you've probably heard about athletes rupturing their ACL, or anterior cruciate ligament. It connects the femur to the tibia, and once it breaks, it's incapable of healing. Treatment most often involves reconstructing the ACL using grafts from the patellar tendon, which connects the patella (aka the kneecap) to the tibia – although this can present problems of its own. Now, scientists at Northwestern University in Illinois are creating a man-made replacement ACL, which could make treatment much more effective. Read More
Platelet-like nanoparticles improve on nature to stem the blood flow
The skin is the body's first line of defense against infection. And when this barrier is broken, or an internal organ is ruptured, it is the process of coagulation, or clotting, which relies largely on blood cells called platelets, that seals the breach and stems the flow of blood. Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have now synthesized nanoparticles that mimic the form and function of platelets, but can do more than just accelerate the body's natural healing processes. Read More
When someone has diabetes, foot injuries such as ulcers can take a long time to heal. Not only does this cause diabetics prolonged discomfort, but it can even lead to amputation. Help may be on the way, however, in the form of a drug that's delivered through a skin patch. Read More
"Smart" bandage glows to indicate how wounds are healing
When a person's skin is burnt or otherwise injured, part of the body's healing process involves boosting oxygen levels in the damaged tissue. If doctors treating such injuries know how high those levels are, then they can determine how quickly and thoroughly the skin is healing. In order to help them obtain that information without having to remove the wound dressing, an international team of scientists has created a glowing paint-on bandage. Read More
If you ever had a pet lizard as a child, it was quite likely a green anole. As is the case with other lizards, they have the ability to break off their own tail when attacked by a predator, and then regrow it. Scientists from Arizona State University recently announced that they have cracked the code regarding that tail regrowth process, and are now hoping that it could be applied to the field of regenerative medicine. Read More
A team of chemical engineers from MIT has developed a new method of stimulating bone growth, by utilizing the same chemical processes that occur naturally in the human body following an injury such as a broken or fractured bone. The technique involves the insertion of a porous scaffold coated with growth factors that prompt the body's own cells to naturally mend the damaged or deformed bone. Read More
For residents living in the north, where sunlight can be a rare commodity during the winter, a psychological condition known as Seasonal Affective Disorder is a very real problem. Light therapy is one way to shake off the winter blues, and although artificial lighting solutions do exist, they are generally available as simple variations on traditional desk lamps. An Italian designer has developed CoeLux, a unique system that delivers artificial light through an intelligent false skylight. Read More
Because second- and third-degree burns damage underlying layers of skin, they can take a long time to heal. Such extended healing periods are not only painful to the patient, but increase the risk of infection and scarring. While various medications are available to deal with pain and infection, there is currently no commercial treatment to speed up the rate of healing of burn wounds. Now researchers have developed a nanogel that could fill this hole. Read More

This was my first time in Vietnam & my holiday got off to a great start at the Duxton. The staff were very friendly & couldn't have been more helpful. Rooms were very comfortable & very clean - restaurant was good too. There is a lovely little piano bar which is very relaxing & as I was on my own the first night I ordered food from the restaurant which was brought to me in the bar (where I was comfortably ensconced enjoying the music). The hotel desk also exchanges currency so I didn't have to look for somewhere to do that. They also provided me with a map & directions to go exploring the city. Would stay again.

There's been plenty of talk over the years about the cashless society. In an ideal world we would just need a swipeable card in our wallet or purse rather than having our pockets full of cash and coins. Unfortunately, the concept has stumbled over the last few years for a number of reasons. First and foremost being the reluctance of small business to get involved in yet another complicated piece of technology not to mention the fees - some hidden - that can be charged. However, with most of us owning a smartphone nowadays, the opportunity for anyone and everyone ... Read more
Over the years, the FeedMyApp review team has reviewed 1000's of apps - many of which have gone some way to making our lives simpler and easier. Business apps, in particular, have gone from strength to strength during this time, but have changed slightly over the period. In the early days of the app revolution, great innovation tended to pave the way but, of late, the emphasis has been on simplicity of use rather than groundbreaking lightbulb moments. This year there has been a plethora of CRMs aimed primarily at the freelancer or small business owner that have tried to ... Read more
One of things that has been holding back small business when it comes to having an online presence has been lack of technical knowledge. Many business owners are technically challenged by website builders and CRMs, feel that they just don't have the computer skills to maintain them properly or figure that they are just too damned expensive to justify. If they do attempt to enter the online world they will generally cherry pick cheap, individual services and hope that they will all work together somewhere down the line.

We all love creative types, don't we? Their minds work in such a way that they can pluck an idea out of the sky and change our lives a little bit with their innovative gadgets and inventions. Many of these people are paid well and have teams to collaborate and expand their original concept. There are, however a growing band of budding entrepreneurs - who are getting younger and younger, I might add - that don't have the vast resources to develop this great lightbulb moment that they want to develop. Where do they find other like-minded individuals with the ... Read more
It's hard sometimes for small business to take the next step towards the better organization of their business management. While we have dipped our toes in the water by using programs like spreadsheets over the years, it's been a bit of a struggle to embrace complicated business management apps for many. So when an app as user-friendly as Drinkle comes along, it's worth taking note of it. This easy to use and unique project management application was designed specifically to help small business become more productive by organizing all your projects, tasks, leads and stock more efficiently.

The way business works is changing rather rapidly in the 21st Century. Rather than everything being purely centered around an office environment, more and more businesses are working with reps in the field - whether it be in the local community, nationally or worldwide. It used to be complicated to keep in touch and collaborate with mobile workers who would report in anyway they could but mostly via expensive phone calls, emails or by fax. I'm sure you remember those horrible fax machines. Some of you are probably still using them now. Thankfully, those days seem numbered when apps like ... Read more
The trouble with many 'to-do' applications nowadays is that they are geared either towards business use or designed purely for personal stuff. There's not that much around that covers all of your day-to-day activities. The other problem is that they are often packed with way too many features that you'll never use and are altogether too complicated. Taskify.us is a free, simple and effective organizer that lets you jot down all your daily events - from the moment you jump out of bed to the time you get back under the covers - and tick off your tasks when they ...

If you've ever been in the business of collecting subscriptions from customers you will already know that there are pitfalls.

ChargeOver takes the hard graft out of automated invoicing and recurring billing by getting rid of paper invoices and statements and replacing them with a fully customizable automatic invoicing platform that's filled with great features. If you are looking for a flexible, extendable ... Read more
Keeping your purchasing under control is one of the most important things for a business in order to keep its head above water.

Procurify is an easy-to-use expense management and accounting application for business that simplifies, manages and organizes your business purchases - whether they be photocopy paper or new computers - and stops you ...

I think we can all agree that there are enough Customer Relationship Management applications (or CRM's for short) out there to fill the Titanic. Some are huge, all-encompassing apps that are mightily powerful and filled with features while some are more modest. Sellsy offers something slightly different than most. While it offers a comprehensive set of tools that include invoicing, time tracking and a helpdesk as well as team and inventory management, Sellsy is a 'Software as a Service' app so you can pick and choose which services you need at any given time. This gives smaller businesses the benefit ... Read more

I know Edmonton drafted Kyle Bigos with that pick, however, the next best forward was the Fin, Toni Rajala. I know there are few 4th rounders that make a huge impact in the NHL, but for a rookie GM that was stating publicly that his intent was to "replenish the prospects", it's my opinion that two higher round picks were better than Brodziak.
This also led to the beginning of the season "center controversy", but it still left a major gap in our roster of a top-2 center. Without Brodziak, we had Koivu, Belanger, Sheppard and Pouliot. Granted, Pouliot did a lot better at wing in Montreal, but why trade the picks for a forward, who "could play wing" when there were several available on the market? Hell, if we wanted depth at center, I'm sure Kolanos would have been more than willing to re-sign for league minimum on a two-way contract. Of all the DR re-treads, this one made the most sense to me for the "new system" because of his speed and grit.
It baffled me a bit, because of all of the
. Were we going to try Bouchard at center? If so, then that makes that trade even more of a head scratcher. We then had Koivu, Bouchard, Belanger, Sheppard, and Pouliot at center. Yes, Bouchard went down to injury and we had to pick up Ebbett because Pouliot was being the floater that he is known for being.
To add on top of that, GMCF declined qualifying offers on both Peter Olvecky and Dan Fritsche, players who in 08-09 appeared to be competent 4th liners for our team.
I understood the Brodziak trade, as Todd Richards did coach him and Chuck Fletcher watched him play for a year in Wilkes-Barrie, but to give a 4th line player 3 years is a large investment IMO.

In a district that has swung between Democratic and Republican control, Dave Somers seeks a third term, challenged by Chris Vallo.
The Monroe Democrat has emerged as a leader on county land-use issues, in particular an effort to delineate prime farmland from flood-prone areas that can be converted to fish habitat. He wants to continue that work, as well as ongoing planning to help the county absorb a growing population over the next two decades.
"I really enjoy complex issues," he said.
Somers' Republican challenger, Chris Vallo of Lake Stevens, is seeking his first election to public office. The real estate broker is focused on limited government, accountable spending and creating jobs. He believes he has the networking and people skills to make it happen.
"What I'd like to bring is new ideas, fresh energy, a common-sense approach," Vallo said.
Ballots for the Nov. 5 general election are scheduled to be mailed Thursday.
In the August primary, Somers took nearly 56 percent of the vote, Vallo just under 44 percent.
The candidates are competing for one of five County Council seats. Historically, District 5 has been the most likely to switch between Democratic and Republican control. The district covers eastern Snohomish County, including Snohomish, Monroe, Maltby, Sultan, Gold Bar and Index.
In 2009, Somers beat Republican Steve Dana, a former Snohomish City Councilman, squeaking by with almost 52 percent support. The separation between Somers and Dana was 1,519 ballots out of 35,670 cast.
This isn't Vallo's first run for county government. In 2011, he unsuccessfully challenged incumbent Snohomish County Assessor Cindy Portmann.
Somers, 60, grew up in northern California, but has lived and worked in Snohomish County since the 1970s.
His first job out of college was at the Verlot ranger station near Granite Falls. He later worked as a biologist for the Tulalip Tribes and managed the Pacific Watershed Institute, a nonprofit formed by the state.
Somers earned a master's degree in forest ecology from the University of Washington in the 1990s, before winning his first County Council election in 1997. He lost to Republican Jeff Sax in 2001, but won a rematch four years later.
During his time on the council, Somers has served as chairman of the council's Planning and Community Development Committee. He believes in state growth management policies, which aim to create denser cities with efficient transportation networks, while protecting wilderness and natural resource areas.
"I don't believe in one-acre lots from here to the Cascade Crest," he said. "You can see what happens in L.A. and it's not pretty."
A point of contention between Somers and Vallo is the county's Smith Island project, an $18 million mostly grant-funded effort to remove dikes, flooding what is now farmland near the mouth of the Snohomish River. The goal is to re-create chinook salmon habitat and improve flood control.
Somers supports the effort, and says the pricetag has risen because of the county's efforts to accommodate farming interests.
Vallo calls the project a job-killer with limited public benefit. He'd rather see the land used for farming.
"It seems very costly to me," he said.
During his most recent term, Somers may have stolen some of his Republican opponent's thunder on budgeting and watchdogging fellow Democrats.
Somers has been an outspoken skeptic of the county's planning for a new courthouse building, siding with Republican John Koster on the losing end of key votes. He objected to a courthouse remodeling plan, fearing that it hadn't been studied enough. Now, the county is looking to construct a new building, that might cost up to $130 million rather than the $75 million price discussed only months earlier.
"Frankly, I think the process is all backwards," Somers said.
In 2011, Somers angered some in his own political party when he took steps that led to a criminal investigation against then-County Executive Aaron Reardon. Reardon's former mistress had gone to Somers to report accompanying Reardon on out-of-town business trips. The councilman relayed the information to county prosecutors, who requested a Washington State Patrol investigation. No criminal charges were filed against Reardon, though the probe further battered his reputation. Reardon resigned in May after members of his staff were implicated in secret efforts to harass the executive's political enemies.
Vallo, 55, has lived in Snohomish County since his family moved to Everett while he was in elementary school. He's lived in Lake Stevens for about 25 years.
Until recently, Vallo had a telecommunications career in the field of network engineering operations. He left about a year ago, after turning down chances to relocate out of state. He's had a real estate license for more than 20 years.
If elected, Vallo said public safety would top his priority list. For Vallo, that means supporting law enforcement and prosecutors. He also promises to focus on improving U.S. 2 traffic safety, something other elected leaders have worked on for decades.
"We've waited far too long," Vallo said. "The roads haven't gotten any better."
By early this week, Somers' campaign had raised nearly $88,000, according to the state Public Disclosure Commission. Vallo's campaign had nearly $6,000.

Very comfortable. Great location for getting around. Some of the furniture is getting old and needs replacement but it was very serviceable.
Review collected in partnership with Travelodge
We were looking for a pleasant place to go for a few days to Sn Diego and the prices from other Hotels were kind of the range but, then we looked at Travelodge and they were very good, close to freeways and Mexican border and be able to make a reservation on their web-site was very good; Personally didnt experience...
The rooms were filthy, hair on floor dust everywhere and we were placed in a non smoking room how ever it smelled like a wet ash tray. The Travelodge would not refund our money or let us cancel our room, not a friendly environment for children lots of loud music and parties. Never again for our family.
Please email me directly so I can take care of any problems that you experienced at our hotel. I have looked in our property management system for this name, but did not see anything that matches. If you did stay at our property I do apologize. All of our rooms are non-smoking. I have given our housekeeping supervisor this...

BM Aura paint for cabinets?
Posted this over on Kitchens too, but occurred to me that there might be some good answers here too!
Our cabinetmaker prefers to use BM Aura semi-gloss for cabinets, but if we specify another paint in the BM line, he can use that instead. (We could technically buy another paint like FPE or F&B, but it would not be covered, whereas the BM paint is included in the contract, so we would prefer to stick with that since we're on a tight budget.)
Thoughts/successes/failures on using Aura on cabinets? Are there other BM paints you'd recommend instead? (We are in CA and do not have easy access to oil-based paints anymore so oil-based Impervo is out.)
If it matters, the cabinets are paint-grade maple with MDF door panels in the Shaker-style doors. They will be painted a light gray so we should be fine with any base.
Let the man use what he prefers. There are better products for cabinets than Aura. With that said, however, Aura is no shrinking violet in the line up of paint choices for cabinetry.
If he likes to (if he can) use Aura and it's included, there's no reason to complicate things and making choices to keep happy the one who is doing the actual labor can bring benefits. Properly prepped surface and Aura in a light gray semi should serve you nicely for many years to come.
Thanks! I guess my question was just mostly whether any of those better products are in the BM line (or, it sounds like, possibly Cabinet Coat, which some BM dealers seem to stock though it's not their product). If we go with something fancy like FPE or F&B we're on our own, but anything BM sells is fair game.

Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) posted solid returns in the fourth quarter despite the Federal Reserve ending its purchases of MBS in October. The asset class benefited from a lack of direct exposure to commodities and energy as plunging oil prices dragged down returns in several other fixed income segments. Shorter-term U.S. Treasury yields rose in anticipation of the start of the Fed's policy tightening, which we believe is likely later this year. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note declined significantly amid strong demand for relatively high-yielding U.S. government debt, contributing to a flattening in the overall Treasury yield curve. The MBS yield curve also flattened.
The GNMA Fund returned 1.16% in the quarter compared with 1.60% for the Barclays U.S. GNMA Index and 1.13% for the Lipper GNMA Funds Average. For the 12 months ended December 31, 2014, the fund returned 5.42% versus 5.97% for the Barclays U.S. GNMA Index and 5.04% for the Lipper GNMA Funds Average. The fund's average annual total returns were 5.42%, 3.70%, and 4.35% for the 1-, 5-, and 10-year periods, respectively, as of December 31, 2014. The fund's expense ratio was 0.61% as of its fiscal year ended May 31, 2014.
Benchmark Definitions
We build the overall portfolio with the goal of providing shareholders with the most attractive risk- appropriate opportunities in the market, focusing on segments of the MBS market that offer compelling relative value. We reduced our underweight to intermediate-term MBS as rates in that segment became more attractive relative to short- and long-term MBS. The portfolio holds some out-of-benchmark allocations, such as Fannie Mae MBS that made a positive contribution to performance. However, we eliminated a small position in Treasury inflation-protected securities as inflation indicators softened. Although we reduced the portfolio's interest rate sensitivity in October when Treasury yields declined sharply, we later increased it to be approximately neutral relative to the benchmark.
The Fed is likely on track to raise rates in mid-2015 despite the drop in energy prices putting downward pressure on inflation. Even with the Fed poised to raise rates, we expect the pace of monetary tightening to be moderate. However, the Fed's responses to changing economic data could trigger elevated interest rate volatility. We think that the larger risks to the GNMA market include changes in how the Fed communicates its strategy for its large holdings of MBS and the timing of when the central bank will eventually stop reinvesting the proceeds from its portfolio back into the market.

What are your no-shows this year?
Still no sign of my purple milkweed, nor the diahlias that I forgot to dig up that I was hoping would come back anyway since it was so mild.
There are a few things that I've been watching for that looked dead at the end of our horrible summer last year like my pink champagne currant. I was hoping it would surprise me but nope. Ditto for the peony that I planted from my aunt's yard.
Only one of my cardinal flowers came back out of four. Sorry hummingbirds. I tried.
I have been trying every year since the ice storm to get a big patch of woodland phlox going again and planted several little starts from divisons last summer but I think nearly every one of those died plus the mama plant that I took them from. grrr i found a couple little sprigs that lived but they'll be too small to divide this year.
The top is almost completely dead on my native hazelnut. I don't know if it was just the tough weather or if something else is going on.
On the upside - I planted a lot of gaillardia from seed last year and most of those have returned including all three of my Arizona Apricots. : )
My garden phlox came through really well too and this year I will know to watch for phlox bugs before they get out of hand like last year.
Knowing my no shows would require that I remember all the stuff I planted.
Some or all of the butterfly bushes that I planted late and were sale plants are not shooting out. I have a Japanese maple that appears to be dead on top and shooting out half way down. I had one before that died. Those various colored new coneflowers don't seem to come back for me. That area has a few Echinacea shoots coming up but I think most of them died out. I had a double one another year that didn't last. Sometimes my coneflowers have funny flowers- distorted. I read they have a fatal disease, so I don't know if it is winter or what that gets them. Other no shows may come to me later. The grey headed coneflower and rudbeckia maxima are fine. Echinaceas are what I lose.
I still have your viburnum.
edit The dwarf pampas plume that I bought last year is dead. It was supposed to be hardy to zone 6 but maybe it needed to be established longer before winter. I really liked its look and got one for my neighbor. I hope hers lived because it was pay back for checking on the dogs.
This post was edited by helenh on Wed, May 15, 13 at 15:39
I have so many different plants it may take me a year to remember what all is gone. This I do know:
two dead rose of Sharon
The old apple tree out back
a peach tree in the garden
some mums
at least three roses
a peony is pinkish and curled?? disease?
so far no persicaria polymorpha
Most all my hostas

About the Book
At forty, Mary South had a beautiful home, good friends, and a successful career in book publishing. But she couldn't help feeling that she was missing something intangible but essential. So she decided to go looking for it . . . at sea. Six months later she had quit her job, sold the house, and was living aboard a forty-foot, thirty-ton steel trawler she rechristened Bossanova. Despite her total lack of experience, South set out on her maiden voyage—a fifteen-hundred-mile odyssey from Florida to Maine—with her one-man, two-dog crew. But what began as the fulfillment of an idle wish became a crash course in navigating the complicated byways of the self.

FBO: Cardiac likely won't win this one
Kings of late-game heroics so far, Bengals want to avoid that need versus Vikings
Each week, Football Outsiders president Aaron Schatz breaks down every game on the NFL schedule using a variety of statistics and metrics to showcase key elements of each contest. This is the Week 14 edition. For more information on Football Outsiders' various metrics, please click here.
Some of the statistics in this article come from the Football Outsiders' game-charting project, in which a group of volunteers watches every NFL game to track stats such as play-action, blitzes, formations and defensive coverage. Please note these numbers are incomplete; right now, we've charted roughly 70 percent of all downs this season.
Thursday Night Football
Pittsburgh Steelers at Cleveland Browns
The Steelers dominate the Browns in nearly every phase of the game, with one very obvious exception: special teams. The Browns lead Football Outsiders' special-teams ratings, while the Steelers rank 31st. Pittsburgh actually has a reasonable special-teams unit except on kickoffs, when it has the worst net kickoff value of any team since 1994. Because the Steelers' offense is so much better than the Browns' defense, Pittsburgh probably will kick off plenty, which means Josh Cribbs is likely to bring one all the way. So much for that Steelers shutout, fantasy owners.

Ducks fall, Bulldogs advance.
Bulldogs 4 Ducks 2
The two middle of the pack teams tied last week in game 1, leaving game 2 as a winner take all.
The Ducks started strong, as Phatt Deskin netted a pair of goals just 1:15 apart, and with only two and a half minutes played it was 2-0 green team.
But they had some key players who did not show up, and had others that probably should have stayed home but did show up, and that cost them later in the game.
Mark Melito cut the lead to 2-1 only two minutes after Phatt made it 2-0 and you could see the tide turning. By the end of the first period we were tied at 2-2 as Marc Teal chipped in with his first playoff goal since 2006.
The 2nd period went scoreless, the only ink on the scoresheet was a Mike Cormican holding penalty.
"Atleast he's on the scoresheet," said Bill Osbahr. "I was starting to think I shoulda picked Steve Hardy instead of Cormican."
Early in the 3rd Phil Andrusin netted the game winner for the red Bulldogs. Joe "Crazy Legs" Smith not only two handed Trevor Hanson over the head and got away with it, but also scored the insurance goal with 1:08 remaining, as the Dogs would skate away with the 4-2 win.
"Crazy Legs, is that like an Indian name?" asked Jon Morin.
"Yea, kind of like Elizabeth Warren is," replied Smith.
A nice job in net by the unidentified sub goalie. It's unsure next week who the Bulldogs will have in net, whether it be Mt. Fuji or someone else.
"I'm not sure who are starter will be, but we're dressing John Gambale as our back up goalie next week," said Al Peterson.

A Critical Reader
This definitive anthology casts Sinophone studies as the study of Sinitic-language cultures born of colonial and postcolonial influences. Essays by such authors as Rey Chow, Ha Jin, Leo Ou-fan Lee, Ien Ang, Wei-ming Tu, and David Wang address debates concerning the nature of Chineseness while introducing readers to essential readings in Tibetan, Malaysian, Taiwanese, French, Caribbean, and American Sinophone literatures. By placing Sinophone cultures at the crossroads of multiple empires, this anthology richly demonstrates the transformative power of multiculturalism and multilingualism, and by examining the place-based cultural and social practices of Sinitic-language communities in their historical contexts beyond "China proper," it effectively refutes the diasporic framework. It is an invaluable companion for courses in Asian, postcolonial, empire, and ethnic studies, as well as world and comparative literature.
A valuable sourcebook introducing fundamental ideas and major intellectuals in this field...
