Terminal Falling Velocity of a Sand Grain
Application ID: 983
The first stop for polluted water entering a water work is normally a large tank, where large particles are left to settle. Generally, gravity settling is an economical method of separating particles. If the fluid in the tank is moving at a controlled low velocity, the particles can be sorted in separate containers according to the time it takes for them reach the bottom.
This model simulates a spherical sand grain falling in water. The grain accelerates from standstill and rapidly reaches its terminal velocity. The results agree very well with experimental studies. The model is an axially symmetric fluid-flow simulation in a moving coordinate system, coupled to an ordinary differential equation (ODE) describing the grain's motion.

Helen Hayes Hospital and The Wadsworth Center in Albany have joined forces on neurological rehabilitation research projects focused on restoring function, fostering independence and improving participation in society for people with disabilities resulting from neurological injury or disease. This joint venture further expands HHH's commitment to clinical research directly related to the disabling disorders present in its patient population.
Improving Communication:
Brain Computer Interface Project
Progress in medical science now enables people with severe paralysis, including those with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and brainstem stroke, to live for many years. Many of these individuals have great difficulty communicating, some entering into a "locked-in" state. The capacity for simple communication can greatly improve their quality of life.
Under the direction of Jonathan R. Wolpaw, M.D., The Wadsworth Center has developed a brain-computer interface (BCI) device which may provide communication functions to individuals who have lost muscle control, including the ability to breathe, talk or even move their eyes. The device records brain waves from the scalp and then decodes them, allowing the user to communicate by making selections on a computer screen. The Wadsworth BCI system is a completely new technology and a major advance over conventional augmentative communication methods. The team at Wadsworth has refined the technology over the past 20 years.
Wadsworth researchers are now working with the staff of Helen Hayes Hospital's Center for Rehabilitation Technology to transition the BCI from the laboratory to the home environment. In a pilot study, researchers identify individuals who may benefit from the BCI and educate them and their caregivers on its use. The BCI devices are installed in the user's home. Through an internet link and periodic visits, researchers monitor and assess the extent and success of BCI usage and its impact on quality of life.
For additional information on BCI research at Helen Hayes Hospital contact Debra Zeitlin, MA, CCC/SLP at: firstname.lastname@example.com
Rehabilitation Neurophysiology Research
The Wadsworth Center and Helen Hayes Hospital are conducting two Translational Neurological Research Projects. One of these is the operant conditioning approach that is based on more than 30 years of animal research by the Wolpaw group at the Wadsworth Center, and aims to improve movement functions in people with spinal cord injury (SCI), stroke, and multiple sclerosis (MS). We are testing two training methods: Reflex Training and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) training. Currently, both training studies target spasticity and foot drop, two of the most common gait problems in people with these conditions. Reflex Training focuses on alleviating abnormal reflexes associated with spasticity. It is hypothesized that learning to change a reflex response through training (i.e., operant conditioning) induces neural plasticity, as it has successfully in rodents and other non-human primates, and leads to lowering spasticity and improving walking. TMS training aims to improve functional connectivity between the brain and the spinal cord through non-invasive brain stimulation (i.e., TMS), specifically focusing on the ankle dorsiflexion to reduce foot drop. Recent studies indicate that the strengthened brain-spinal cord connectivity is a key mechanism of improved motor function.
The studies are geared to people with chronic gait problems due to incomplete SCI, stroke, and MS. Reflex Training sessions occur three times a week for 12 weeks. Each training session consists of three blocks of 75 reflex trials, during which the standing subject views a screen that shows the ongoing muscle activity and reflex size. During reflex training trials, the subject is instructed to make the reflex size low. TMS training sessions occur three times a week for 10-12 weeks. Similar to a reflex training session, a TMS training session also consists of three blocks of 75 trials. TMS is applied through a metal coil placed over the scalp, which briefly produces an electrical field in the brain and stimulates the brain cells underneath, resulting in activating the spinal cord neurons that produce ankle dorsiflexion.
The studies' findings have thus far yielded positive results. Successful subjects with SCI, stroke, and MS experienced a decrease in spasticity and improvements in gait (e.g., faster walking speed, improved walking rhythm, less foot drop, etc.).
Recruiting Volunteers for Neurophysiology Research
Helen Hayes Hospital is recruiting volunteers to participate in rehabilitation neurophysiology research studies.
Participation in a study requires approximately three sessions per week for two to three months, followed by four to eight sessions over another two to three months. Each session will last approximately 90 minutes and participants will be paid $15 per session.
For additional information on neurophysiology or research studies and how to join these studies, contact John Whalen, RN at email@example.com OR 845-786-4854. For information on Translational Neurological Research in general, contact John Whalen, RN at firstname.lastname@example.com OR 845-786-4854.

BillCutterz Money Saving Blog
Stretching the dollar as far as it can go is a common practice in many households across the globe. Whether it is out of necessity or habit, tightening the belt can ensure that survival in your home is possible. By saving money on consumables such as food and other household items, you have a better chance of paying utilities and mortgages. Below are some methods you can implement in your home in order to further your financial stability.
1. Foods
There are many ways you can save a great deal of money on foods. First of all, if you qualify for assistance through Social Services, it may not be a bad idea to apply. For out of pocket expenses, buying cheap foods to put together doesn't have to mean buying items that are unhealthy or nasty tasting. For instance, a family of five can eat dinner for $5. This would entail spaghetti sauce featuring sausage for just under three dollars and two bags of one dollar noodles. Prices may vary depending on the area you live in, but you get the idea.
2. Portion Sizes
Did you know that a can of ravioli is actually meant for two servings? By reducing your portion sizes while eating, you can save money on the amount of food you need to buy as well as promoting health in your lifestyle. There's no need to over-eat if you don't need to.
3. Dollar Stores
In nearly every community, there is a dollar store that sells cheap alternatives to name brand goods. In many cases, these alternatives work just as well as the name branded items. Items such as dishes, soaps, cooking utensils and more can be bought for a great deal less than the others.
4. Yard Sales
If you're in need of furniture, clothing, and various household items, yard sales can offer a great deal for much less. In several cases, people have been able to purchase high-priced brand-new goods for a fraction of the cost because someone is moving.
5. Consignment Stores
A consignment store is a place where people take items to be sold and pay a commission to the store owner. Essentially, the consignment store can be viewed as an elaborate yard sale created by many people in order to sell their goods over a longer period of time than just a single weekend. Antiques, toys, clothing and more can be found at these stores and in excellent condition.
Regardless of your needs in the home, there are many people that produce do-it-yourself content that can show you how to complete various tasks yourself. This can save a great deal of money by giving you the power to repair or make something instead of paying for it.
Never be ashamed by asking for help or shopping at "cheap" locations. A large amount of money can be saved by being frugal, and it doesn't make you any less of a person to pay your bills and live the best way you can. It's all about survival and doing as much with your money as possible already puts you ahead of many individuals in terms of success.

RachelNew York, NYHairBlondeDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairRelaxed HairChemically Treated HairAt Long LastBecause of my dry, curly hair, serum is something I have to use every time I shampoo, whether I'm wearing my hair curly or straight. I'm 33 years old, so as you can imagine, I've gone through a LOT of serum in the past 20 years. I've probably tried a good 30 brands or so (curly haired girls, I know you understand this). This is one of the BEST, hands down. The only one I think I've ever loved better was the Shu Uemura serum, but seriously, that one is prohibitively expensive, even for a Manhattan girl like me. This L'anza one is excellent, and priced more reasonably for someone that must use serum every day. I'll be sticking with this one for a very long time.posted Dec 9, 2012Link to this post
DanielleSan FranciscoHairMedium BrownDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairActually Works!!! Use It Every Time I Wash My Hair.I love this product. I have very very thick, long, curly hair and this product helps tame the insanity. I put it on when my hair is still damp, it seems to work better this way. It helps keep the frizz to a minimum and allows my hair to curl not just frizz. It is never greasy and the smell is light and pleasant. Highly recommend it. The only downside is that it is a little expensive for a small bottle. One bottle usually lasts two to three months.

It is non-greasy and can be used on wet or dry hair and does not leave residue or buildup on hair.

I gave it 4 stars because it's good but is pretty much like any other product that has dimethicone and cyclopentasiloxane as it's main ingredients. There arent any ingredients listed on the bottle, so it's difficult to know if it has quality ingredients. I got it for free, so I'm not sure if I would buy it (as I don't know the cost), but I would probably recommend it to a friend if they were just looking to make their hair shinier, seal in moisture and smooth fly-aways.posted May 3, 2012Link to this post
Lindsey H.Sacramento, CaHairBlondeDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairGreat Stuff!My hair dresser used this on my hair the last time I got highlights and my hair was so soft and easy to manage for days! I finally decided to buy some and I now use it every day. What I love about it the most is that it leaves my damaged ends tangle free throughout the entire day. I put it on my hair when it is damp and when it dries I use a comb on the ends while straightening. Leaves your hair soft, shiny. and amazing!posted Apr 30, 2012Link to this post

At Memorial Sloan Kettering, we are dedicated to helping people live their lives to the fullest after cancer and its treatments. With this goal in mind, we have developed a comprehensive array of services for cancer survivors.
Cancer and its treatments can have a significant impact on your emotions and relationships. Experts at Memorial Sloan Kettering's Counseling Center are available to help cancer survivors and their families and friends cope with a variety of issues that may arise after cancer treatment.
Our experienced psychiatrists and psychologists tailor services to your specific needs through individual, couples, or family counseling sessions. The Counseling Center also sponsors group sessions for patients or family members who might benefit from working with people experiencing similar circumstances.
For more information or to make an appointment, please call 646-888-0100.
Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or blood and marrow stem cell transplants can have an effect on your skin, hair, and nails. Our dermatologist specializes in evaluating and treating dermatologic conditions that result from cancer therapies. Skin consultations for survivors are available to minimize the dermatologic effects of cancer treatment.
For more information or to make an appointment, please call 212-610-0078. Appointments are available for people who were treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering.
Many people with cancer want to have children after treatment. If you are a patient receiving care at Memorial Sloan Kettering and would like to learn about your options, ask your doctor or nurse for a referral to our Cancer and Fertility Program. The clinical nurse specialist who directs the program can provide information about the effects of cancer therapy on fertility, options to preserve fertility before treatment begins, and options for building a family after treatment is completed. The clinical nurse specialist can also refer you to reproductive medicine specialists and other resources.
If you are a cancer survivor, you or your family members may have questions about the risk of developing other types of cancer or passing on genetic risk factors to your children.
Memorial Sloan Kettering's Clinical Genetics Service offers risk assessment for hereditary cancers, genetic counseling, and genetic testing by specially trained genetic counselors and physicians. Our staff will review your family history and offer educational information or services that may help you manage your genetic risk for cancer.
For more information about our Clinical Genetics Service, please call 646-888-4050.
Integrative medicine therapies complement medical treatment by addressing the mind, body, and spirit of people with cancer. Practitioners in our Integrative Medicine Service use a variety of approaches – including touch therapies, mind-body therapy, acupuncture, and nutritional counseling – to help cancer survivors manage chronic symptoms, enhance healing and recovery, and achieve a sense of well-being.
These services are available to all cancer survivors as well as their families. Learn more about how complementary therapies ease recovery after cancer treatment.
To schedule an appointment for an integrative medicine therapy, please call 646-888-0800.
MyMSK is a private, personalized online link to Memorial Sloan Kettering from which you can securely access information about your care. If you enroll in MyMSK, you can view lab reports, appointments, and hospital bills. You can also update your contact information and communicate with your physician's office using secure messages.
To enroll in or learn more about MyMSK, please ask a session assistant in clinic or contact your physician's office. If you have questions, please email email@example.com or call 800-248-0593.
Many cancer survivors have questions and concerns about diet, nutrition, weight management, and changes in appetite and taste after treatment ends. If you were treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering, you can request a personal nutritional consultation with one of our certified dietition-nutritionists, who can assess your current eating habits and offer advice about how to meet your nutritional needs.
To schedule a consultation with a dietitian, please call 212-639-7311. If you were treated at the Evelyn H. Lauder Breast Center, please call 212-639-5201/5270. Learn more about eating well after cancer treatment and view nutritional guidelines for people with short bowel syndrome.
Cancer and its treatments can have an impact on your muscles, bones, nerves, circulatory system, and lymphatic system, resulting in problems with coordination, balance, strength, or flexibility. Neuromuscular and musculoskeletal problems such as neuropathy (nerve pain), difficulty walking, joint pain, or lymphedema (swelling in and around the lymph nodes) can be immediate or may appear after certain treatments.
At the Sillerman Center for Rehabilitation, we offer a variety of rehabilitation services for cancer survivors. Our expert rehabilitation medicine physicians develop comprehensive treatment plans based on the specific needs of each patient. Treatments include targeted medications and therapeutic injections that can improve your quality of life.
Our highly trained therapists perform physical, occupational, and lymphedema therapy to improve mobility and help maximize your ability to carry out your daily activities. In addition to providing therapeutic exercises and addressing difficulties related to movement, our therapists offer specialized treatments such as soft tissue/myofascial techniques, vestibular assessments and treatments, biofeedback, and laser therapy.
Please contact your physician to receive a referral to the Sillerman Center for Rehabilitation.
At Memorial Sloan Kettering, your care doesn't end after cancer treatment. Our Resources for Life After Cancer program offers a broad range of support services for cancer survivors and their families. Through individual and family consultations, seminars, workshops, and professionally led support groups, this program addresses a variety of topics related to cancer survivorship, including insurance, employment, emotional concerns, and caregiver issues.
Established in the 1980s, Resources for Life After Cancer (formerly the Post-Treatment Resource Program) has served thousands of cancer survivors and is a model for cancer support programs at comprehensive cancer centers around the country.
We invite all cancer survivors and their families — including those treated outside of Memorial Sloan Kettering – to participate in our upcoming programs. You can also view our Winter/Spring 2015 brochure.

The Power of Public Relations
For many remodelers, public relations, or simply PR, is something they mentally file under the general category of marketing, if they give it much thought at all. It's an afterthought, not a stand-alone function. And if it is an item in their budgets, it's more often than not one of the first to be chopped when times get tough.
However, some remodelers beg to differ. Far from being the last thing on their minds, public relations tops their list of key business strategies.
That's how Michael Sauri, owner of Arlington, Va.-based TriVistaUSA, sees it, putting PR ahead of marketing on his agenda. "I would say marketing gets kicked out and we use PR," he says, explaining that a company like his, which strives to deliver unique, creative high-end design, is highly relationship driven. "Does a homeowner have a more intimate service relationship [than the relationship with a remodeler]?" he asks. "We're in a home for a year.
"With a small remodeling company like ours, we really don't do a marketing plan," Sauri explains. "We've found advertising on a small community level pretty much ineffective; we've run some local neighborhood advertisements that haven't done anything for us."
Sauri comes to remodeling from a different background than a typical remodeler. At 17, he became a professional musician and has played with the likes of David Byrne, producer Rick Rubin and opera star Placido Domingo. Remodeling, he says, is a lot like making a living as a musician. "Whether it's in a recording studio or on a jobsite, you're herding the same cats. You have to get [musicians and tradespeople] wrapped around a common vision," he says.
The story of Sauri's transition from rocker to remodeler, by the way, was featured in the Washington Post, an effort he credits to his PR person, Polly Elmore of PR Works LLC, Clifton, Va. As Sauri says, one of the reasons PR has been effective for TriVistaUSA is "because people get to know us before they even pick up the phone and call."
Many remodelers, however, have difficulty separating PR from marketing. No one should blame them; one Web site for PR professionals lists 31 definitions of public relations. However, a word that should resonate with remodelers—relationships—is often repeated in those definitions. Remodeling is about building relationships, and one of the goals of public relations is not very different: building connections to relevant "publics" and communicating to them on a regular and consistent basis.
"Public relations is an ongoing process consisting of a variety of communications methods designed to keep current clients and potential new clients informed so they develop a positive awareness of a business and its products and services" is the formal definition developed by David Lewis, president of Levinson Communications International, Morton Grove, Ill. One of Levinson Communications International's clients is a major Chicago-area remodeler, an established company that has seen significant growth even during the recession.
Lewis keeps that definition close at hand for a reason. "When I talk to a business owner for the first time, he or she often says, 'What do I need you for? I already have advertising.' The obstacle for me is to explain the difference between advertising and public relations," Lewis says. "I have to explain to people how we work with the editorial side of a newspaper or magazine as opposed to the advertising side."
Selling a Concept
PR can be a tough sell. "They're nuts-and-bolts guys, and you're selling them a concept. It's a tough thing to understand, but when you have it, and it's working for you, you become very aware of its value," Lewis says.
"I always tell people a successful business owner doesn't keep his business a secret. A lot of people have a listing in the Yellow Pages and hang a shingle outside of their showroom and that's the extent of their PR, marketing and advertising. You have to go beyond that, especially these days when there's so much competition," Lewis says.
"I think it takes a very forward-thinking person to understand the difference between public relations and marketing," says Heather Logrippo, president of Shrewsbury, Mass.-based Expose Yourself Public Relations. "Remodelers want leads; they want their phones to ring; public relations is a long-term branding strategy. We create content for our clients that show them to be the experts in the industry. When people are doing their research and deciding whom they're going to call, they find a lot of this content, and it lends [remodelers] credibility."
One of Logrippo's clients is Norwood, Mass.-based Neponset Valley Construction, a company that emphasizes exterior contracting work, such as roofing, siding, windows and decks.
Remodelers are well advised to find someone to handle the PR function for them, either someone on staff or an outside PR practitioner, because it requires a great deal of time and dedication, Logrippo adds. When evaluating an outside company to handle PR, Logrippo says, "It's important [remodelers] find somebody who can speak their language, because if [the PR firm] doesn't understand construction, it's going to be hard for them to create content that's going to show their client in a good light."
"The clients I work with are smart, but they're smart enough to know what they don't know. They're smart enough to hire it out: They have expert accountants and expert attorneys," Logrippo adds.
Nevertheless, marketing and PR are interdependent. "I find with builders, remodelers and real-estate clients, once we start to do PR it uncovers other needs they have in marketing. We've morphed into a PR and marketing firm because they need so many other things. We're able to uncover that when we're talking to them about their businesses," she says.
Traditionally, PR has focused on cultivating the media to tell a story or create an image. Today, media has expanded from conventional news outlets, like newspapers, magazines, radio and television, to include the ever-expanding and changing realm of social media. PR, consequently, is more important than ever.
Techniques Remain the Same
"I've been in the PR business a long time, and while the technologies have changed the techniques remain the same," explains Polly Elmore. "I think PR is going through a resurgence because PR embraces social media now."
She makes a case for hiring outside help to handle public relations. "I think for any small remodeler, as for any small business, time is the most precious commodity, and they need to look at PR as hiring a professional that can help them do the things they can't do for themselves," she says.
Hiring an independent public relations professional has other advantages, too. "It's hard for anyone to boast about themselves," Elmore says. "I think an outsider can come in and say, 'This is what makes you unique; this is your differentiator; now let's tell people about it.'"
"Times and publications change," Lewis points out, citing magazines that have pulled away from home coverage and shrinking home sections in local newspapers. "You need someone who keeps up with that to place your articles," he says.
If home sections in local publications are shrinking, so are the number of remodelers and designers generating the kinds of projects publications like to feature. "Editors are not receiving the overwhelming number of projects they used to get for consideration," Lewis notes.
PR Is Less Expensive
Another advantage of public relations is that it's "free"; that is, the subject of a newspaper or magazine article doesn't pay for placement of it. "PR is less expensive than advertising, and I feel it's more effective because it's like a third-party endorsement," Elmore says. "If you run an ad, you're boasting about yourself, but if a publication runs something about you, it has more credibility."
Logrippo puts it succinctly: "In marketing you pay for placement, but with PR you get free placement and it's more valued and therefore scarce. When you're on the news talking about your industry and you didn't pay for it, there's a lot more credibility."
Lewis agrees. "When you hire a PR person, and they get you a full-page article, how do you compare the cost of buying a full page in a magazine? Depending on the magazine, it can run from $1,500 in a local magazine to $25,000 or more in a large national magazine. PR is a fraction of the cost, and you get the benefit of the credibility," Lewis maintains.
Credibility can't be overemphasized. "If you have good, effective PR, you're going to have credibility and you're going to have trust. Those are two difficult things to obtain, but it can be done through good PR," he says.
"Free," of course, is an overstatement. There's the cost of the time and effort involved in developing the contacts, writing copy, being interviewed and hiring a photographer to portray a project. Still, that cost is reasonable compared to the cost of buying several pages in a national or even a local magazine.
Photography Is Crucial
Photographs, for example, are a crucial expense. Few magazines today, outside of a few major consumer shelter magazines, have the financial wherewithal to send out a photographer to shoot a project.
"Have good professional photographs." Elmore advises. "I think remodelers go into projects and don't think about this. They also need to have clients agree that they can use these photographs."
Sauri adds: "When we choose our photographers, we're very careful to make sure that their style aesthetically matches where we're going [with our designs]. There is lots of beautiful, wonderful photography, but it has to be a photographer that fits your company. Your mom and her new digital camera doesn't really work."
Public relations isn't just about getting a free mention from a media outlet, however. One of the things Lewis has done during the past year is to arrange for his clients to present seminars at public libraries in the Chicago area. The people who attend are "almost prequalified customers; they've made an effort to come out and hear you talk," he says. "Plus you can take advantage of coverage in local community newspapers. They will announce an upcoming seminar, and they may cover it and do a story."
Finding Opportunities
"PR is about finding opportunities," Logrippo agrees, "not just getting into the newspaper. We'll find opportunities for clients to sponsor local charity events, set up scholarships and do things that will get their name out in an unusual way that's not a regular marketing buy-an-ad strategy."
Lewis advises remodelers who want to engage a public relations professional to find somebody local. "Stay away from the expensive, glamorous downtown PR agencies. Look for someone in your area who has an established public relations firm with some history and someone who has significant experience with remodelers, architects, interior designers and other home-related industries," he says.
Crisis management is another area that remodelers rarely think about, but it's an area where a good public relations advisor can be invaluable. One news story comes to mind in which two employees of a remodeler were charged with murder. Calls to the remodeler's office, the story continued, were unanswered. As an employer, the remodeler may only have been a victim of circumstance—or merely guilty of poor hiring practices—but his handling of the situation made him appear to be hiding something and no doubt tarnished his reputation.
"It's something that people don't ever think is going to happen, and then they don't have a plan or anyone to advise them," Logrippo says. "When you're in the middle of a crisis situation, you only see things one way. You need a rational person to say, 'Here's reality, and here's the way you need to deal with it.'"

The Total Land Area may differ from platted or deeded area. For example: a platted subdivision lot may be platted as 50 feet by 100 feet for a total land area of 5,000 square feet. Whereas, the OCPA's Total Land Area may display a size such as 5,011 square feet - being slight more or less due to the positional accuracy of GIS cadastral map construction and numerical rounding. OCPA recommends a manual calculation of the land area based on the platted or deeded dimensions (as displayed on the GIS map). The Total Land Area may also differ from information shown in the Land Information section of the OCPA web site.

Bumble and bumble Thickening Shampoo 8 oz.
Sheri D.Brandon,MissHairDark BrownFine or Thin HairBest Shampoo Ever!!This is beyond a doubt the very best shampoo I have ever used! I have thick baby fine hair and I believe I have tried every shampoo on the market! You can tell a difference in just one washing! Add the Hair-Thickening Spray to it and what a difference it makes! A little pricey for shampoo but we'll worry it!posted Mar 5, 2014Link to this post
DianeHairLight BrownFine or Thin HairGreat Stuff For Super Fine HairI have "very fine hair." Every hairdresser that I have ever went to has said it's the worst case of "baby fine" hair that they have ever seenâ??plus now it's thinning. The internet can be a wonderful thing as I found BB when searching for fine hair products. Tried it for the first time this morning (shampoo and conditioner) and I will say it's the best product I have ever used on my hair. I cant stress enough just how fine, limp and lifeless my hair has always been and I've tried every product out there. I am going to invest in the hairspray as well now that I know it works.posted Feb 9, 2011Link to this post
AmberPortland, ORHairDark BrownFine or Thin HairLove ItI've been using Bb thickening shampoo, conditioner & spray for several years and no matter what else I try - I always come back to this line. It really helps gives my hair (thin, straight) better texture to work with.posted Aug 30, 2010Link to this post
Shortythis product is very very good my hair did not have much shine since im always using product and straightening; however, when i used this product two times, my mom told me, "ur hair looks very shiny", she thought i used product........but it was the shampoo ! my hair feels like it has alot of volume and my hair is actually getting thicker becuase when i put it in a ponytail it looks and feels so much thicker.......i loved this product and i have my grandma using it as well....she LOVES IT TOOOOOOOposted Jun 15, 2010Link to this post
EmileeIt Does Give Volume...I love this shampoo. It does make hair fuller and thicker...at least it did mine. I can really tell the difference when I use another shampoo; it's not as full. I have fine, thin hair that hangs down to mid-back, and it's worked great. My hair stylist even noticed the difference. She asked, "What have you been doing to your hair? It seems thicker." I told her that I'd been using B&B Thickening Shampoo, Conditioner, and spray. I also use the vitamin spray and it seems to be doing the trick. The reason I did not give it 5 stars is because I do have to use a lot to get a good lather. I think the directions say to use a small amount, but I can not get a lather with a small amount...so, it goes quickly. I've told my fiance' to stay away from my shampoo!posted Apr 23, 2010Link to this post
JanWartburg, TN USANot ImpressedI thought shampoo would make a real difference in the volume of my hair. I had to use a hand full to get any kind of lather up at all and my hair never did feel really clean to me. The smell was just boring. I won't purchase this again.posted Feb 23, 2010Link to this post

Vacuum Cleaner Belts
Did you know that proper maintenance can extend the life of your vacuum cleaner? One of the most basic maintenance items is belt maintenance. It is crucial part in your cleaning system that connects your motor to the brush roll. To check this, you need to remove the bottom plate and place a finger under the best to feel if it is taut. If you find that it's not, and it is showing signs of wear, it is time to replace it. While it is recommended you change vacuum belts once or twice a year, the frequency will actually depend on how often you use your vacuum cleaner. Frequent use makes it prone to cracks, sagging and other forms of damage. The motor is unable to turn a belt that does not have good traction on the brush roll. As a result, your vacuum does not clean up to its potential.
Looking for belts for your vacuum cleaning system? At GoVacuum, we recommend customers reduce the risk for vacuum repairs in the long-term by regularly checking the internal parts including belt, bag and hose regularly. While our advice represents general care and maintenance, we also stock a wide range of vacuum cleaner accessories including belts for a wide range of cleaners and ensure that your vacuum cleaner performs according to your needs!

The kidneys are fist-sized organs in the back that are shaped like kidney beans. They filter blood and help remove waste products from the body. Tiny filtering units within the kidneys do this with the help of blood vessels called glomeruli. When the glomeruli become inflamed, it's called glomerulonephritis.
Glomerulonephritis (gluh-MARE-you-low-ne-FRY-tis) causes the kidneys to stop working properly, which can cause swelling (edema) throughout the body and other symptoms. Glomerulonephritis can be acute (coming on suddenly) or chronic (developing over several years). Often, people don't know they have glomerulonephritis until a routine urine test detects it.
Many cases of glomerulonephritis get better on their own. Those that don't will require treatment, which usually is very effective. Untreated glomerulonephritis can lead to kidney failure or chronic kidney disease, although this is rare.
Kidneys work a lot like a garbage collection and disposal system. The body doesn't use everything that we eat and drink, and this creates waste products. Some of that waste ends up in the blood, along with other waste products from chemical reactions in the body. Kidneys filter the blood and remove excess fluids and waste products by passing them out of the body as urine (pee).
The blood filtering happens in tiny structures called nephrons. Each kidney has about a million nephrons, and each nephron has one glomerulus (the singular of glomeruli), a ball of microscopic blood vessels, or capillaries. The glomerulus is the nephron's filter, where the process of removing waste products and fluids from the blood begins.
If someone's glomeruli aren't doing their job properly, it can cause a number of problems for the kidneys and affect overall health.
Causes of acute glomerulonephritis include:
Doctors often know what's causing acute glomerulonephritis, but it can be difficult to find the cause of chronic glomerulonephritis. Sometimes, doctors don't know why people get it. In rare cases, children can inherit glomerulonephritis from their parents; this is called Alport syndrome.
With acute glomerulonephritis, symptoms come on suddenly, possibly after a skin infection or a case of strep throat. Chronic glomerulonephritis can take several years to develop and is detected through a urine test.
Early signs of glomerulonephritis include:
If the condition isn't caught early and treated, kidney damage can occur. Symptoms of kidney damage or kidney failure include:
Other conditions can cause these symptoms, so they don't necessarily mean that the kidneys are failing. But if your child has any of these symptoms, it's important to see a doctor right away to determine the cause.
At the doctor's office, explain your child's symptoms. The doctor will examine your child and may take blood and urine samples for testing. The doctor also might order a kidney ultrasound to get a better look at the kidneys. Ultrasounds use sound waves to create images of organs and other body parts.
In some cases, a biopsy may be necessary. During this procedure, a tiny sample of kidney tissue is removed and sent to a lab for testing to help determine the cause of the glomerulonephritis and check for any kidney damage.
While some cases of acute glomerulonephritis go away on their own, others require treatment. The sooner treatment begins, the less damage there may be to the kidneys.
Treatment for glomerulonephritis varies depending on a child's age and general health, how well the kidneys are functioning, and the cause of the inflammation.
Treatment may include:
Chronic glomerulonephritis is a condition that either fails to respond to treatment or keeps coming back for months or even years. In these cases, doctors may recommend lifestyle changes to minimize further damage to the kidneys and slow the progression of the disease.
Lifestyle changes that can help kids with chronic glomerulonephritis include:
In most cases of acute glomerulonephritis, the damage to the glomeruli will eventually heal. The length of time it takes depends on what caused the glomerulonephritis, how long it lasted, and when treatment began.
In rare cases, glomerulonephritis can lead to kidney failure that requires dialysis or a kidney transplant. Fortunately, most kids will never need those procedures and will be able to play sports, participate in favorite activities, and lead perfectly normal lives.

Additionally, Becker's Hospital Review recently reported that "SYVCH was among the top 41 hospitals where patients said their pain was "always" well controlled. The data is taken from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Hospital Compare database, using information from the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey. The survey allows patients to rate line items relating to their patient care experience. This particular metric covers the "percent of patients who reported that their pain was 'always' well controlled" from January 2011 through December 2011. Some hospitals were excluded from this list for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to having fewer than 100 patients complete the HCAHPS survey. Surgical and specialty hospitals are not included on the list."
SYVCH Vice-President Wende Cappetta said, "On behalf of the entire staff, it is a tremendous honor to have our patients acknowledge our service and professionalism. We are totally committed to continuing to provide excellent health care here for our residents and visitors in the Santa Ynez Valley."
Founded in 1964, the not-for-profit Santa Ynez Valley Cottage Hospital (SYVCH) provides high quality outpatient surgical services, inpatient care, comprehensive imaging (including MRI, CT, digital mammography, ultrasound, X-ray), on-site laboratory, cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, physicians' specialty clinic and 24/7 emergency services to the community.

I have been spending a lot of time with GUILT lately. I had worked hard at staying sober for almost 4 months, then messed up and had to start all over.
That guilt, shame, remorse thing can take on a life of its own and just suck me down.
Anyway, I was reading a murder mystery yesterday and right there in the book someone said:
Guilt is a wasteful emotion; forgive yourself and go on to do better.
I know the book was a far cry from AA approved literature , but it was like a little gong went off in my head. I feel like God smiled at me. And you know what? I really do feel like I am going to go on and do better now....... Amazing!
That was a moment of clarity for me.

Pieces of the Palu collection are made on the John Hardy compound by husband and wife teams of artisans where the wife holds the piece over the fire to soften the material and the husband hammers the metal to create the Palu finish. The intense creative process takes on the nuances of their relationships as their daily emotions come through in their work.
