What is nephrotic syndrome?
Nephrotic syndrome is a collection of symptoms that indicate kidney damage. Nephrotic syndrome includes the following:
- proteinuria—large amounts of protein in the urine
- hyperlipidemia—higher than normal fat and cholesterol levels in the blood
- edema, or swelling, usually in the legs, feet, or ankles and less often in the hands or face
- hypoalbuminia—low levels of albumin in the blood
Albumin is a protein that acts like a sponge, drawing extra fluid from the body into the bloodstream where it remains until removed by the kidneys. When albumin leaks into the urine, the blood loses its capacity to absorb extra fluid from the body, causing edema.
Nephrotic syndrome results from a problem with the kidneys' filters, called glomeruli. Glomeruli are tiny blood vessels in the kidneys that remove wastes and excess fluids from the blood and send them to the bladder as urine.
As blood passes through healthy kidneys, the glomeruli filter out the waste products and allow the blood to retain cells and proteins the body needs. However, proteins from the blood, such as albumin, can leak into the urine when the glomeruli are damaged. In nephrotic syndrome, damaged glomeruli allow 3 grams or more of protein to leak into the urine when measured over a 24-hour period, which is more than 20 times the amount that healthy glomeruli allow.
What causes nephrotic syndrome?
Nephrotic syndrome can be caused by diseases that affect only the kidneys, such as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) or membranous nephropathy. Diseases that affect only the kidneys are called primary causes of nephrotic syndrome. The glomeruli are usually the targets of these diseases for reasons that are not fully understood. In FSGS—the most common primary cause of nephrotic syndrome—scar tissue forms in parts of the glomeruli. In membranous nephropathy, immune molecules form harmful deposits on the glomeruli.
Nephrotic syndrome can also be caused by systemic diseases, which are diseases that affect many parts of the body, such as diabetes or lupus. Systemic diseases that affect the kidneys are called secondary causes of nephrotic syndrome. More than 50 percent of nephrotic syndrome cases in adults have secondary causes, with diabetes being the most common.1

What are the signs and symptoms of nephrotic syndrome?
In addition to proteinuria, hyperlipidemia, edema, and hypoalbumina, people with nephrotic syndrome may experience
- weight gain
- fatigue
- foamy urine
- loss of appetite
What are the complications of nephrotic syndrome?
The loss of different proteins from the body can lead to a variety of complications in people with nephrotic syndrome. Blood clots can form when proteins that normally prevent them are lost through the urine. Blood clots can block the flow of blood and oxygen through a blood vessel. Loss of immunoglobulins—immune system proteins that help fight disease and infection—leads to an increased risk of infections. These infections include pneumonia, a lung infection; cellulitis, a skin infection; peritonitis, an abdominal infection; and meningitis, a brain and spine infection. Medications given to treat nephrotic syndrome can also increase the risk of these infections. Other complications of nephrotic syndrome include
- hypothyroidism—a condition in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone to meet the body's needs
- anemia—a condition in which red blood cells are fewer or smaller than normal, which means less oxygen is carried to the body's cells
- coronary artery disease, also called coronary heart disease—heart disease caused by narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the heart
- high blood pressure, also called hypertension—a condition in which blood flows through the blood vessels with a force greater than normal
- acute kidney injury—sudden and temporary loss of kidney function
How is nephrotic syndrome diagnosed?
Urine samples are taken to diagnose people suspected of having nephrotic syndrome.
Nephrotic syndrome is diagnosed when large amounts of protein are found in the urine. The blood protein albumin makes up much of the protein that is lost, though many other important proteins are also lost in nephrotic syndrome.
The presence of albumin in the urine can be detected with a dipstick test performed on a urine sample. The urine sample is collected in a special container in a health care provider's office or commercial facility and can be tested in the same location or sent to a lab for analysis. For the test, a nurse or technician places a strip of chemically treated paper, called a dipstick, into the urine. Patches on the dipstick change color when protein is present in urine.
A more precise measurement is usually needed to confirm the diagnosis. Either a single urine sample or a 24-hour collection of urine can be sent to a lab for analysis. With the single urine sample, the lab measures both albumin and creatinine, a waste product of normal muscle breakdown. The comparison of the measurements is called a urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio. A urine sample containing more than 30 milligrams of albumin for each gram of creatinine may signal a problem. With a 24-hour collection of urine, the lab measures only the amount of albumin present. The single urine sample is easier to collect than the 24-hour sample and is usually sufficient to confirm diagnosis, though the 24-hour collection may be used in some cases.
Once nephrotic syndrome is diagnosed, blood tests are usually needed to check for systemic diseases that may be causing the nephrotic syndrome and to find out how well the kidneys are working overall. A blood test involves drawing blood at a health care provider's office or commercial facility and sending the sample to a lab for analysis.
Though blood tests can point toward systemic diseases, a kidney biopsy is usually needed to diagnose the specific underlying disease causing the nephrotic syndrome and to determine the best treatment. A kidney biopsy is a procedure that involves taking a piece of kidney tissue for examination with a microscope. Kidney biopsies are performed by a health care provider in a hospital with light sedation and local anesthetic. A biopsy is often not needed for a person with diabetes because the person's medical history and lab tests may be enough to diagnose the problem as being a result of diabetes.
How is nephrotic syndrome treated?
Treating nephrotic syndrome includes addressing the underlying cause as well as taking steps to reduce high blood pressure, edema, high cholesterol, and the risks of infection. Treatment usually includes medications and changes in diet.
Medications that lower blood pressure can also significantly slow the progression of kidney disease causing nephrotic syndrome. Two types of blood pressure lowering medications, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), have proven effective in slowing the progression of kidney disease by reducing the pressure inside the glomeruli and thereby reducing proteinuria. Many people require two or more medications to control their blood pressure. In addition to an ACE inhibitor or an ARB, a diuretic—a medication that aids the kidneys in removing fluid from the blood—can also be useful in helping to reduce blood pressure as well as edema. Beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, and other blood pressure medications may also be needed.
Statin medications may be given to lower cholesterol.
People with nephrotic syndrome should receive the pneumococcal vaccine, which helps protect against a bacterium that commonly causes infection, and yearly flu shots.
Blood thinning medications are usually only given to people with nephrotic syndrome who develop a blood clot; these medications are not used as a preventive measure.
Nephrotic syndrome may go away once the underlying cause has been treated. More information about treating the underlying causes of nephrotic syndrome can be found in the National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse publication Glomerular Diseases at www.kidney.niddk.nih.gov.
Eating, Diet, and Nutrition
Eating, diet, and nutrition have not been shown to play a role in causing or preventing nephrotic syndrome in adults. For people who have developed nephrotic syndrome, limiting intake of dietary sodium, often from salt, and fluid may be recommended to help reduce edema. A diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may also be recommended to help control hyperlipidemia.

Hope through Research
In recent years, researchers have learned much about kidney disease. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) sponsors several programs aimed at understanding glomerular diseases such as FSGS and membranous nephropathy, which are primary causes of nephrotic syndrome. The NIDDK also studies diseases such as lupus and diabetes, which are secondary causes of nephrotic syndrome. Finding treatments for these underlying causes will help prevent nephrotic syndrome or stop its progression.
Participants in clinical trials can play a more active role in their own health care, gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available, and help others by contributing to medical research. For information about current studies, visit www.ClinicalTrials.gov.

Buy this photo Advocate staff photo by ADAM LAU -- Southern University Jaguars quarterback Dray Joseph (10) launches a pass against Grambling. Jaguars hang on to beat Grambling in Bayou Classic BY PERRYN KEYS| Assistant sports editor Nov. 27, 2012 Comments NEW ORLEANS — After a coaching change, a winning streak and a losing streak, at the end of the season that began with so much turmoil and ended Saturday with Southern's best chance to win a Bayou Classic for the first time since 2007, linebacker Franchot West found himself in the middle of the field inside the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, scrambling with his teammates, barking above the noise, trying to stop Grambling one last time. West and the Jaguars had taken a big lead, then nearly given all of it away. The archrival Tigers were driving for a potential game-winning score with less than a minute left. From both sidelines, coaches and players screamed. The crowd of 45,980, though small, scattered and late-arriving, was certainly into it. Moments before his fumble recovery preserved a thrilling 38-33 win in this matchup of two teams with disappointing records, West learned his responsibility: Spy on Grambling quarterback Frank Rivers, then make a play if the action comes your way. West watched as defensive lineman Donald Phillips, a freshman from New Orleans, make a sack on Rivers, forcing the ball free. A few Grambling bodies had their chance at it, but the ball squirted away. West pounced. With 24 seconds remaining, he ran off the field with the ball in hand — and the victory, as well. "No greater feeling. No greater feeling," the junior said. "It's a great feeling for us to finish off a season like this, with a win in the Bayou Classic." In holding off the archrival Tigers (1-10, 0-9 Southwestern Athletic Conference), the Jaguars (4-7, 3-6) salvaged a game it controlled for much of the final three quarters. They also gave Dawson Odums a win in his final game as interim coach. Odums took over when SU ended the Stump Mitchell era after a loss in the second game of the season Sept. 13 against Mississippi Valley State. The Jaguars answered with wins in three of their next four games under Odums, but soon lost their momentum. They took a four-game slide into the Superdome. Odums said he'd like to stay at SU on a permanent basis, but understands that the call isn't his. Instead, it belongs to athletic director William Broussard, who said Odums will be included in a national search for the Jaguars' next coach. "Whatever happens, we'll be ecstatic about it either way," Odums said, "because we know we put our best foot forward in making young men better." They certainly looked better during the second and third quarters of Saturday's game, albeit against a porous Tigers defense. After Southern lost two early fumbles that helped Grambling take a quick 14-0 lead, the Jaguars turned to junior quarterback Dray Joseph, who had played as a backup in the previous two Bayou Classics, but made his first start in the big game Saturday. Joseph made the most of it. Shaking off a few early drops and misfires, Joseph quickly warmed up. Joseph threw five touchdown passes, tying a school record in Bayou Classic games (Quincy Richard also threw for five TDs in a 2003 victory). Joseph completed 22 of 37 passes for 284 yards, with no interceptions. During the second quarter, as Southern's defense made four consecutive stops, Joseph put on a show, slicing up the Grambling defense for three unanswered scores. "I've said before that I feel like when I get hot, I can't be stopped," said Joseph, who finished with 2,511 passing yards, 25 touchdowns and seven interceptions in his first year as a full-time starter. "It seems like we don't ever start off well. ... But you can feel it when we get into a rhythm. I really have to thank my linemen for giving me a lot of time to throw." SU took a 21-17 lead into halftime — and after the Tigers added another field goal on the opening drive of the third quarter, Joseph quickly and sharply lead his team downfield for another score — this time on a 28-yard throw to senior Charles Hawkins, who had a career-high three scores. The Jaguars went ahead 38-20 with 9:08 remaining on Matt Hill's 42-yard field goal. At the time, they seemingly had the game in hand. They didn't bank on Grambling's late resurgence. The Tigers pulled to within 12 points with 7:26 left, then added another touchdown when Cedric Skinner plowed into the end zone from 2 yards away with 1:58 remaining. Grambling got the ball again with 1:23 to go, and the Tigers started moving again. "When the game's on the line and a little adversity sets in, you've got to stay positive," Odums said. "you've got to lean on the things that got you to that point." West, for his part, leaned on his instincts. And his teammates. For one final time this season, they served Southern well.

Corinthian Enthusiasm
from Derek Thomas Jul 20, 2009 Category: Articles
Only one book is absolutely essential to save us, to equip us to obey God's will, and to glorify Him in whatever we do. Only one book gives us undiluted truth -- the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Only one book serves as our ultimate and final authority in all that it affirms. That book, of course, is the Bible, God's Holy Word. No wonder John Wesley once exclaimed, 'Let me be homo unius libri'--a man of one book! Keep Reading -
Buried with Christ
from R.C. Sproul Jul 19, 2009 Category: Articles
What does Paul mean when he talks about filling up that which is lacking in the afflictions of Christ if there is no deficiency of merit in Christ's suffering? Christ, Who performs the perfect sacrifice once and for all, nevertheless calls His church to bear witness to His suffering until He returns, and there is still a measure of suffering that must take place in the history of redemption. This suffering will not add anything to Christ's merit. Our suffering doesn't atone for anybody's sin, certainly not for our own, but God's redemptive historical plan has to be finished, and that plan includes the afflictions of the people of God. Paul, being acutely conscious of that, spoke of his filling up the agenda of suffering, and you and I must do the same. Keep Reading -
God's Will and Your Marriage (pt. 3)
from R.C. Sproul Jul 18, 2009 Category: Articles
Many people resent the suggestion that they seek counsel in their selection of a marriage partner. After all, isn't such a selection an intensely personal and private matter? However personal and private the decision might be, it is one of grave importance to the future of the couple and their potential offspring, their families, and their friends. Keep Reading -
God's Will and Your Marriage (pt. 2)
from R.C. Sproul Jul 17, 2009 Category: Articles
Paul states in 1 Corinthians 7:8-9: "To the unmarried and widows I say that it is well for them to remain single as I do. But if they cannot exercise self-control, they should marry. For it is better to marry than to be aflame with passion." The distinction is between the good and the better. Here Paul introduces the idea of burning, not of the punitive fires of hell, but of the passions of the biological nature, which God has given us. Paul is speaking very candidly when he points out that some people are not made for celibacy. Marriage is a perfectly honorable and legitimate option even for those who are most strongly motivated by sexual fulfillment and relief from sexual temptation and passion. Keep Reading -
God's Will and Your Marriage (pt. 1)
from R.C. Sproul Jul 16, 2009 Category: Articles
Perhaps in no other area of human activity do Christians expend more decision-making energy than in the area of marriage. No wonder, since the decisions relevant to the marital relationship have such far-reaching effects on our lives. How a person feels about his marital status determines, in large part, his sense of fulfillment, his productivity, and his self-image. The reality and the seriousness of the marital relationship are brought home when we realize that the one who knows us most intimately; the one before whom we are the most fragile and vulnerable; and the one who powerfully shapes and influences our lives--this one is none other than our marriage partner. That is why entering into the marital relationship is not something anyone should take lightly. Keep Reading -

The 1955 Dodge La Femme
May 8, 2007 It's the earliest example of automotive marketing to women we have seen (correspondence here please) – it's the 1955 Dodge La Femme complete with a Sapphire White and Heather Rose color scheme. Half a century later, women buy half of all new cars, yet it was a very bold and ultimately unsuccessful (only 2500 were made) marketing initiative aimed at was thought to be a promising new niche market. The La Femme was basically a Dodge Custom Royal Lancer with a feminine paint palette and a special gold "La Femme" script on the fenders. The vehicle's interior was graced with special tapestry upholstery bearing pink rosebuds on a pale pink background and pale pink vinyl trim. A rectangular purse matching the car's interior was a standard La Femme feature, stowed in a special compartment built into the back of the passenger seat. Each purse came complete with matching compact lipstick and cigarette cases, a lighter and purse. Also standard was a raincoat, rain bonnet and umbrella in the rosebud pattern that was stored in a compartment behind the driver's seat. Hey, this would sell in droves today!!

You are hereSurvey of Scientists Supports Evolution, Rejects "Intelligent Design"
A survey of Ohio university scientists shows that they overwhelmingly view "intelligent design" as a religious, not a scientific, concept. The survey was conducted by faculty at Case Western Reserve University and the University of Cincinnati, and results were announced at a press conference on October 10. Professor Joseph Koonce, Chair of the Department of Biology at Case Western, issued the following statement:
Creationism Not to Appear in Cobb County Public Schools
Contrary to some recent press reports, the "Theories of Origin" policy adopted by the Cobb County, Georgia, Board of Education on September 26, 2002, specifically disallows the teaching of creationism. As enacted, the policy explicitly states that, "It is the intent of the Cobb County Board of Education that this policy not be interpreted to restrict the teaching of evolution; to promote or require the teaching of creationism; or to discriminate for or against a particular set of religious beliefs, religion in general, or non-religion."
"IDnet" Expands to Third State
An organization which has actively promoted intelligent design creationism and opposed evolution education in Kansas and Ohio in recent years has now opened a branch in New Mexico. Intelligent Design network, inc. ("IDnet") of Shawnee Mission, Kansas announced the creation of Intelligent Design Network of New Mexico in a July 23 press release. The announcement implies that IDnet is also looking to expand to other states as well. IDnet is led by retired lawyer John Calvert; IDnet of New Mexico will be led by Joe Renick, a mechanical engineer.
School Board to Revise Policy on "Theories of Origin"
The district's current policy entitled "Theories of Origin" dates from 1995. It reads as follows: Two Incumbents lose in KS BOE Primaries
Two moderates on the Kansas Board of Education lost their primary bids on August 6, raising the chances the board could return to a 5-5 moderate-conservative split. The defeats of Republicans Sonny Rundell, from Syracuse, and Val DeFever, of Independence, means moderates could lose the majority they won in elections following the 1999 debacle when a conservative majority adopted science standards removing many references to evolution, the age of the earth, and the big bang.

*~Magni-Chic~* We put this up in our downstairs powder room & because we converted 2 coat closets as a half bath it is considerably smaller than normal. However, I painted the walls a rich ,coconut milk, cream from Valspar & added a very tiny but accomodating sink from Home Depot. With this light it makes the quaint space feel very chic & regal. The item includes everything you need to affix the item correctly along with extra crystals. I do have to say that applying the crystals to the line on top of affixing them to the base is very tedious. So much so, that my teenage daughter grew impatient with my struggles & offered to complete it all in exchange for an online album LOL. Done deal. It took less than half an hour to have everything up. I do want to emphasize that the crystals do not hang past the base. They are flush with the shade. All in all, a great investment & unregrettable purchase.

best light- just gorgeous!! This light is in our guest bedroom which has 8 foot ceilings. I wanted flush mount, lots of light and something leaps more chic. Yes you do have to assemble the crystals- which takes some glasses, light and an hour. (I know this because I started and finished with the Ellen Show) Put together it looks just like we took it off an expensive showroom ceiling. It holds enough of a traditional feel but gives this amazing modern twist. It's so nice and bright. I put 4 60w reveal light bulbs in and even my husband was saying WOW. (that says something ladies) Definitely picking up a dimmer for this because it's that bright. The material around the cover isn't so much a material as a thinly spaced string. It sounds odd but creates a nice effect on the ceiling along with all of the crystals. Love it! The light does take two people to install. First I put the crystals on. I left the plastic on the material of the shade and gently took off after installing to avoid messing up the material during instal. Directions are bad- so the one crystal that is already together in the bag goes on the center point of the light. The rest are identical and go on any of the loops on the mirror like base. Also It does matter which end of the wire the Crystals attach to so pay attention to that. Tip: try not to pull apart the round rings that attach the crystals too much. I got lazy and was separating them too much. After the light was up I had a few crystals to reattach. I could have avoided that by just pushing the rings back together more instead of relying on the gap to hold the crystal in place. Once my hubby had the ceiling ready I held the light up while he put the ground / wires on. This is a little tricky with all of the crystals but not overwhelming. This is also when I was thankful to have the plastic on the light since that is exactly where I held the light. Fishing for the two screws that fit into the new light was the most difficult part, but somehow I got lucky. Hubby held the light in place while I screwed on the round silver knobs that hold the light to the ceiling mount. The total time : was one hour to attach crystals and 15 min to mount.

Pretty Glamour for a Petite Price. For the price it's fabulous. The crystals are actual glass crystal. Meaning they aren't plastic or something else. They are heavy and clear. They aren't as sparkling as Swarovski or other "high end" crystal BUT they still emit a sparkle nevertheless. The overall effect does NOT look cheap. It looks much more expensive than the listed price. However- when you put it together you can see WHY it's so cheap. BUT when it's all put together you can't tell. It is a pain to assemble. It wouldn't be a pain if you had time, a good movie and a beverage. However I was under a time constraint. The directions are worthless. It does matter which end you "clip" to the large crystal drop and to the top of the flush mount. Thankfully another reviewer pointed this out so I did pay attention to that. The cheapest part of the whole piece is the attachment pieces which holds each string to the top of the light. Hint: it is much easier to "hook" the top of the crystal string if you detach the attachment piece from the top - then sling the crystal string to it - then refasten the attachment piece. HOWEVER these things are the FLIMSIEST, CHEAPEST pieces of the whole entire light fixture. If you choose to do it this way be very careful for they break easily. You get one try. You can't re do it or it will break. THANKFULLY it comes with extras just incase. Also please note that the center string is shorter than the rest. The rest can go anywhere. My brother wired it to the ceiling for me. I helped him though as it takes two people. This was a pain. Is it worth it - YES!!!!! It emits beautiful light and the end product looks exquisite. Also the crystals DO hang lower than the "drum". I don't know why everyone says it is "flush" with the "drum". The large, bottom crystal hangs below the drum. Enjoy!

Gorgeous light! After reading the reviews I knew the light would be pretty... but it was better than expected. I also knew I'd have a couple of hours in to attach the crystals, NOT TRUE. Maybe if you're doing it in front of the TV it could take that long, but because I'm incredibly competitive I timed it... 36 minutes and the crystals were attached. My husband who does a fair amount of electric work had it installed in an additional 10 minutes (with me holding the light up while he attached the wires). I would definately recomment this item... it's very hard to find a pretty flush moount chandelier!

Beautiful light! Beautiful light for my entry - I have a standard-height entry and wanted a light that was unique and unexpected, but not too over the top, and was a flush mount. This is perfect. The crystals do not hang below the shade much, if at all, and coming down the stairs, it looks like a normal shade light. But when underneath, it's a party! Had a strange smell when pulling out of the package, but cleared up in a day or two - smelled like soldering oil. Had to attach all the crystals and wire drops by hand, took about 2 hours while watching tv. I'd suggest wearing cotton gloves to hold the crystals so you don't have to clean them after. All in all, very happy and would purchase again.

There is no instruction n what to do with the hardware in the bag. Are these to be used to make the crystals hang lower?
Hello confused, the hardware is to hang the crystals and extra pieces. Thanks for shopping with us!
does this hang from the ceiling?
No it's flushmount.
It's right on the ceiling.
It is flush mount to the ceiling. You have to hang each strand and the crystals are beautiful little balls that reflect the light. The shade is made of fine string and it is unusual. You need to put an electrical box in the ceiling and wire it in. I have a hard time hanging a nail so I hired a handyman to do the job. Did I say "job" I meant jobs for I bought 3 of these chandeliers. One in the family room which opens to the dining table so I hung one there. The third is in my master bedroom, right in the center and I put dimmers on all three. Wasnt a romantic night? You can create a sexy ambience with sparkle all around you. Then they all reflect in my beveled mirrors on the wall. This is an unique chandelier and one that will last a lifetime.

Best Chandeliers for Your Home
Whether you like antique or contemporary styles, chandeliers can dress up many different rooms. It's easy to update your bedroom with a striking pendant chandelier, or add a crystal chandelier to the dining room for extra sparkle. You may have a few questions about choosing chandelier lighting that works with your style, however. Read on for tips on finding the best chandeliers for your home.
Buying Chandelier Lighting for Your Dining Room
Chandeliers are the ultimate statement piece in a house. From giant crystal chandeliers that hang from high ceilings to simple styles that reside over a family dining table, lighting fixtures have the ability to make a room glow. A chandelier that is not right for your space can seem weighed down and heavy. The wrong chandelier can also lack drama that helps make a room fabulous. If your chandelier is looking old and outdated, it might be time to update with a new style.
How to Clean a Chandelier
Chandeliers can be the stunning focal point of your room, but these dramatic light fixtures are also great at collecting dust and cobwebs. You can keep your chandelier sparkling by dusting it regularly and cleaning it thoroughly twice a year. To learn how to clean your chandelier using both the wet and dry methods, keep reading.
4 Things to Consider When Buying Chandelier Earrings
You're wearing your favorite 1960s-inspired dress and a pair of cute wedge sandals, but something is missing. Add just the right amount of color and shine with a shimmery new pair of chandelier earrings. Chandelier earrings get their name from their design, which mimics elaborate chandelier light fixtures. They may have tiers of sparkling, swinging gemstones or they may have layers of hammered gold medallions. Each chandelier earring style is unique and offers a bold splash of style.

Chandelier Trends
Looking for a way to simultaneously brighten and dress up your home? Chandeliers are the perfect solution.

A History of Electric Light
On September 4, 1882, one square mile of lower Manhattan was aglow with light as the first commercial power station went into operation. Thanks to Thomas Edison's brilliance, for about 24 cents per kilowatt hour, 59 customers were provided with lights and electricity at night. By the late 1880s, the demand for that service had grown so much that small power stations could be found in many U.S. and European cities. We're still amazed by all the practical and aesthetic possibilities offered by lighting.
Choosing a Wall Sconce for Your Bedroom

What to Pack for Africa's Highest Peak
Imagine that you are planning a trip that will take you from the equator to Antarctica in seven days. Now imagine that you have to limit the amount of gear you pack to 35 pounds or less. The task is getting more complicated. What kind of luggage would you choose and how would you pack for a trip that encompasses such extreme changes in climate and altitude? When Erica Davis, a paraplegic athlete, and Tara Butcher, a physically challenged athlete, climb Africa's highest peak, they will have to answer exactly those questions. The challenge: Mount Kilimanjaro rises from nearly sea level all the way up to 19,330 feet. The trail climbs from the hot bushland through rain forest, moorland, alpine desert and arctic glaciers up to the rocky Uhuru peak. A climb like Mt. Kili presents special challenges when it comes to luggage, clothing and gear. Being prepared for the weather and temperature extremes is a necessity, but it's also important not to pack too much. There is a 35-pound weight limit to each piece of luggage carried by a porter. Most climbers pack one 35-pound capacity bag to go up with a porter and one small daypack to carry up themselves. The daypack: Erica and Tara will have 7 days to summit Tanzania's Mount Kilimanjaro. As they pass from one ecological zone to the next, their needs will change and so will the contents of their daypacks. Each day Erica and Tara will repack their daypacks in anticipation of the specific challenges of the day's journey. In general, their daypacks will include things like water, snacks, dry clothing, waterproof gear and sunscreen. The importance of keeping clothing and gear dry cannot be overstated. When choosing a daypack, a small to medium backpack made of lightweight, moisture-resistant material that comes with a removable waterproof shell will be ideal. It's also helpful if the backpack has convenient access to a water bottle compartment or can accommodate a water bladder. Plenty of pockets, zipper compartments and hooks are also handy. What to pack: A sturdy but lightweight water-repellant duffel bag with a capacity of about 35 pounds is ideal for the trek to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro. The bag needs to have room for plenty of layers of breathable, moisture-wicking clothing and layers of fleece clothing, as well as a waterproof layer. To save space, it's a good idea to pack clothing that does double duty, such as pants that easily convert into shorts. Aside from clothing, the climb will also require accessories like sunglasses, hats and gloves, plus equipment like trekking poles and a headlamp, as well as toiletries like sunscreen, insect repellent and a first-aid kit. Support the Challenged Athletes Foundation: Overstock.com and the C.H.E.K Institute are co-sponsoring Erica and Tara's climb to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro in order to raise awareness for athletes with physical challenges who wish to participate and compete in sports. Portions of the proceeds will benefit the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF). CAF raises funds to give physically challenged athletes the opportunity to stay active and competitive in the sports they love. To show your support for physically challenged athletes like Erica and Tara, donate now to the Challenged Athletes Foundation for the Fit 4 Kili Climb.

SaraIt WorksI had the paul brown hawaii flat iron (it recently just died) for about a year and a half. Mind you I did not take care of it. I dropped it, shoved it in my bag with the cords tangled while it was still hot, etc. I was always satisfied with the results from the flat iron and when I showed it to my friends I can't remember even one that didn't like it. I dropped it in a bucket of water...so that's why it died. Other wise I feel like it had quite away to go before it was burnt out.posted Mar 18, 2010Link to this post
TiffanieAustin Tx UsaThe Best EverI drop it all the time and it still works perfectly. it straightens my thick hair in 15 min and doesnt damage it anymore than a CHI. its a lifesaverposted Jan 20, 2010Link to this post
SamSherbrooke, Canada.Borrowed From A FriendI went to camp last year and also had bangs (terrible choice!) and my straightener at the time (remmingtons..) was pretty bad. so my councilor lent me her 300 dollar (at the time) straightener. It made my hair very stiff, and although it straightened well, my hair didn't move naturally, even with heat protecting softening product (10 dollar bottle of pantene pro-v). i wouldn't waist your money on this.posted Aug 23, 2009Link to this post

Comments about Battle Sports Oxygen Mouthguard:
I purchased this mouthpiece because I was looking for a mouthpiece with more oxygen intake, and this fit the description. I like how it looked in the pictures, however it is not hard rubber like a normal mouthpiece, the rubber is soft uncomfortable and unusual. I gained more confidence with the mouthpiece as I used it. It got the job done for an okay price. Because the mouthpieces is softer than other mouthpieces it wore down fast and started to shred at the ends.

Now, I have seen everything!
Phoronix: NVIDIA To Publicly Release Some Documentation
NVIDIA will be releasing 2D (and potentially 3D) documentation concerning their ARM Tegra graphics core. "NVIDIA committed to open-source" even read one slide during a presentation at the annual X.Org Developers' Conference...
Now, I have seen everything!
This is a nice start, but they're seriously putting an NDA on this guy? That's almost as much a dick move as intentionally not giving out any documentation at all. What's the point of letting something be open source if the guy needs to keep his work to himself? How does nvidia expect this 1 guy to get anything done? I'm sorry if I missed something and if I am speaking on ignorance, I just think an NDA is uncalled for.
I find it difficult to come to this conclusion from what you wrote.Originally Posted by Phoronix
Only Tegra docs under NDA - and apparently largely incomplete - sounds not too promising.
Babysteps but at least its a start.
I was like "WOW desktop cards" but then i realized it was for tegra.
Anyway as i said its a start.
Microsoft is way more committed to Open Source than Nvidia, and this joke of a half ass attempt at PR shows just how much respect Nvidia as for us in the OSS community.
All I can say is Fuck You Nvidia!
From the article:
... the next version of the Tegra TRM (Technical Reference Manual) should provide the public with this (NDA-free) documentation covering the 2D engine.
NOTE: NDA-free.
He has previously been under NDA for Tegra documentation, but Nvidia is about to release some of it NDA-free. This is a good thing.
Sorry, that was obviously wrong.
I messed it up while editing that line. :/
I wanted to express my disappointment about the docs covering
Tegra only and only a rather tiny fraction of the chip capabilities.
I agree it is a good thing, in terms of "not a bad thing",
but it really doesn't sound too promising to me.
Why don't they release more complete docs?
And why do they refuse to do the same for the desktop asics?
I applied to be a developer on the Tegra zone three months ago. Never got a response, at all.
Then I searched on XDA and contacted a few people, and a couple nice guys provided me with the Tegra 2 TRM as well as the just released Tegra 3 TRM.
I can confirm there is no useful information on the 3D part at all, just a very high level description of the block. No description of registers, nothing.
Having the TRM is one thing, and it's nice to know the meaning of a few registers being used in the Tegra branch of the Linux kernel. However it is still very far from being open. Why doesn't Nvidia directly publish their TRM? There is exactly ZERO sensitive piece of information in it, it just describes how to interface with their SoC, and the juicy 3D part is not available.

The Deda M35 handlebar has an oversized 35mm diameter making it stiffer, stronger and more comfortable. The larger diameter not only vastly increases the stiffness of the bar, making it ideal for stronger riders, it also reduces vibrations felt through the bar for a more comfortable ride.
These handlebars also use Deda's excellent RHM (Rapid Hand Movement) design which combines a short reach and drop to help you move around the bars easily and stay comfortable whether you're racing or riding with friends. This is a handlebar that, quite simply, performs.

Whenever the song "Shots" LMFAO ft Lil Jon comes on the radio, your iPod, your iTunes, or whatever really, you must immediately bust out shot glasses and take atleast one shot before the song is over (preferably during the "shots" chorus) no matter what you are doing.
Angie and Joie were sitting around the kitchen table doing important papers when the song "Shots" came on Angie's iTunes. They immediately felt The "Shots" Effect and proceeded to do a peppermint patty shot right then and there.
