Our Process
Want to learn more?
Cardinal Health understands that implementing a new inventory management service involves a series of steps and decision making. We believe collaboration is critical for success. Our supply chain experts work directly with your clinical and materials staff to improve performance, efficiency, cost and quality in the fulfillment and management of suture and endomechanical products. Following is what to expect from our implementation process:
- Identify pain points
- Complete data transfer
- Execute walkthrough and scope of customer needs
- Propose current state findings and provide analysis with recommendations for Level 1 or 2
- Implementation and customer training for the selected level of engagement
Process overview
As we identify your pain points, we determine your needs for improvement in the current conditions of the suture/endomechanical areas. Common pain points are:
- Inflated inventory
- Excessive stockouts
- Difficult to find products
- Redundant products
- Expired products
- Cancelled or delayed surgeries
- Impacted clinician satisfaction
After meeting pre-qualification standards, a Supply Chain Executive (SCE) will conduct the initial walkthrough and assessment. We then develop a solution that best meets your needs and present those findings and recommendations for the most appropriate level of service. With your approval, our analysts initiate a data transfer and physical inventory. Based on the proposed par levels, you have the option of self-management or engaging our inventory personnel to manage your suture and endomechanical products.
Whatever your choice, Cardinal Health Wound Closure Management Services helps you manage your suture and endomechanical inventory for optimal par levels, improved clinician satisfaction and product availability. We focus on improving your inventory management so that you can focus on what matters most -- taking care of the patient.

Greed comes in many forms. And, in the Shakespeare Theatre's production of Ben Jonson's satire on that subject, "Volpone," several of those are assumed by actress Pat Carroll.
First, there's her trousers role as the title character. Like Falstaff, the gender-crossing lead she played here in 1990, Volpone is larger than life, and Carroll -- mustachioed, corpulent and moving with the self-satisfied swagger of the filthy rich -- once again proves up to the task.

You can get the information you're looking for from one of the other
computers hooked up by DHCP. If it's linux, you'll find that in their
/etc/resolv.conf, and if it's windows 9x/ME, you can get it by running
winipcfg, and if it's windows NT/2k/XP, you can get it by running
"ipconfig /all" in a windows command prompt.

What's the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions
Thee Oh Sees
? Probably their riot-sparking live show, right? Visions of a guitar-chewing, speaker-smothering, tongue-wagging
John Dwyer
careening across your cranium, chased by a wild-eyed wrecking crew that drives every last hook home like it's a nail in the coffin of what you thought it meant to make 21st century rock 'n' roll?
Yeah, that sounds about right. But it misses a more important point—how impossible
Thee Oh Sees
have been been to pin down since Dwyer launched it in the late '90s as a solo break from such sorely missed underground bands as
Pink and Brown
. (While Dwyer often records songs on his own,
Thee Oh Sees
is now a five-piece featuring keyboardist/singer
Brigid Dawson
, guitarist
Petey Dammit
, drummer
Mike Shoun
, and multi-instrumentalist/singer
Lars Finberg
That restlessness extends to everything from the towering, 13-minute title track of 2010's
Warm Smile
LP to the mercurial moods of 2008's
The Master's Bedroom Is Worth Spending a Night In
. And then there's the Bay Area band's recent track record, including a scrappy tour split with
Total Control
, the home-brewed symphonies of
and the high wire hooks of
Carrion Crawler/The Dream
, which dropped a second drum set among sunburnt organs, dovetailing guitars and rail-jumping rhythms.
Blast any of the above and it's hard not to see the psych-steeped parallels between Dwyer's manic music and his canvas-splattering artwork, which looks like it was torn from a shelf of twisted underground comics. Colourful and confounding in a way that's more than welcome, then. In fact, it's downright refreshing, like a slap in the face at 5 in the morning. Of if you prefer a slightly more subtle musical awakening, there's always
Putrifiers II
, the latest in a long line (14!) of
Thee Oh Sees
albums that expands the group's sound well past your friendly neighbourhood garage band. So while the space odyssey nods of "
Wax Face
" actually sound like they're meant to melt your ears straight off, the record's full of deviant detours, from the poison-tipped string parts and Eno-esque engineering of "
So Nice
" to the groove-locked Krautrock inclinations of "
Lupine Dominus
The most noticeable element may be Dwyer's melodies, as they reveal a softer side to his songwriting, one that makes perfect sense considering just how disparate his dust-clearing influences are:
Scott Walker
the Velvet Underground
The Zombies
and the experimental Japanese act
Les Rallizes Denudes
are but a small taste of what informed
Thee Oh Sees
this time around, as Dwyer returned to the multi-instrumental ways of
—full band sessions for another record are already underway—and rounded out a fuller, drier sound with drummer/engineer
Chris Woodhouse
and such special guests as
Mikal Cronin
Heidi Maureen Alexander
(trumpet, vocals) and
K Dylan Edrich
Which leaves one question: are Thee Oh Sees going to bring it down a notch live now as well?
"I will still strike an audience in the brain," Dwyer assures us all, although he admits, "Maybe every now and then it would be okay if we relaxed a little."

The Science of Kissing: Book Trailer Effective
When did humans begin to kiss? Why is kissing integral to some cultures and alien to others? Do good kissers make the best lovers? And is that expensive lip-plumping gloss worth it? Sheril Kirshenbaum, a biologist and science journalist, tackles these questions and more in The Science of Kissing. Her trailer is effective in generating MY interest. How about yours?
So, just exactly what is working here?
It's a variation on an author Q&A and it's the topic that draws me in. Of course, like most women, I want to know more about kissing. Yet, the author is also effective because she creates a sense of lots more to be found in the book itself, she doesn't give away everything. Just enough.
What didn't work here?
The book trailer video ends weakly, with no strong Call to Action. It simply lists the author's website. While that might work for some books, the author's name is long and has an unusual spelling. Too bad there isn't a website named www.scienceofkissing.com. Now THAT, I could remember.
Weak call-to-actions are a real problem! Why do this video if you don't know what action you want viewers to take? And why not give them an easy way to take that action?

TSM for Noobs: Introduction and Modules
What is TSM?
TradeSkillMaster 2 is one of the most powerful tools around for WoW Gold Making. The main draw to this program is how powerful it is when you add modules. You see, the base program is basically like a plain cookie recipe. You can eat it, but it's a waste and really has no use without other ingredients.
It's the same with TSM, the base program has no use without modules.
Modules are the flavor. They add on to the features of TSM. To use them, you have to have TSM installed however! Otherwise you are just eating chocolate chips and getting fat.
The modules that I am currently using:
Accounting: This module is used to track sales and expenses. Great for tracking your gold making progress, keeping track of items you have bought and sold.
There are other modules that are available, but these are the ones that I am currently using and will be covering in these guides. I must stress, I am a noob also. So we can learn together!
6 comments:
Yay!! thank you soooo much for doing these can't wait to read the rest, I love tsm but its soooo hard to understand!ReplyDelete
Definitely looking forward to this. I've installed and uninstalled TSM so many times over the years I've lost count. I REALLY want to finally understand it and get comfortable with it before WoD comes out. I redownloaded and reinstalled everything again 2 days ago and I'm slowly going through Phat Lewts videos, but another perspective (and a noob one at that) might be very important. Thanks for sharing! :)ReplyDelete
Question: AuctionDB or WoWuction? Is there a reason to use both?ReplyDeleteReplies
Different ways of pricing. Usually I go with WoWuction, but there are difference between both sets of data.Delete
If an item hasn't been seen on your realm before then wowuctions global prices are very handy!ReplyDelete
I downloaded all the modules but it keeps says I have not downloaded them... is there a specific location (File) they are suppose to be in to work? I understand how to use it but I am a dummy at downloading everythingReplyDelete

VAUXHALL Astra rear suspension was the subject of a recent analysis by tech-fest industry title Automotive Engineer.
Michael Harder is chassis development engineer of the Astra line – and said that pleasing all of the people all of the time led to him eschewing multilink setups.
Multilinks reduce the compromise between ride and handling, writer James Scoltock was told – but at a price. Indeed, quite a cost: some experts say they add €100 or more to the base price of a car.
Vauxhall thus stuck to a cheaper twist beam. But how to make it class competitive? Spend €20 on a Watts linkage. Which Harder duly did, despite nobody doing it on a production car before.
He prefers to call the twist beam a 'compound crank': they're lovely, he says, because they're simple, don't take up much space, and are easy to work with. There is a fault, mind, admits Harder: put side forces in, and the axle 'tends to rotate underneath the car, which creates lateral oversteer and deflection'.
In practice, this means the front of the car turns in first, with the rear responding after an elastic-like delay. Giving the impression of laggy oversteer.
You can fix it, says Harder, with stiffer bushes. Ah, but these are bad for both noise and road isolation. So, enter the Watts linkage. This means the bushes can be softer, as it absorbs an impressive 80 percent of all lateral loadings on the rear suspension. It also improves camber stiffness – making it 'twice as good as any other car on the market'.
Throw in canny tricks elsewhere, such as rebound springs in the front struts, which helped him tune roll stiffness without affecting understeer or oversteer, and you've something more than class competitive. Still, though, at way less cost than the expense of multilink.
You know, this 'ere twist beam could just twist my arm…
How can good ride be stiff ride?

Falmouth girls make history with first-ever win over NYA
FALMOUTH—For the past decade, the Falmouth girls' lacrosse program has worked its way up the ranks.
Last year, the Yachtsmen truly arrived, reaching the regional final for the first time, but heading into Thursday evening, they had never beaten one of the state's elite Class B teams, Waynflete, Yarmouth or North Yarmouth Academy.
Falmouth can now cross the Panthers off that list after the biggest regular season victory in program history.
The Yachtsmen rallied from an early 5-2 deficit, went on a 10-2 run and held on down the stretch for a 13-10 triumph on an evening where the rain stayed away until the very end.
Senior Jess DiPhillippo and junior Vanessa Audet both scored three times, sophomore Alex Bernier scored two goals and had a pair of assists, senior Caitlin Costello added three assists and junior Moie Aaskov made eight big saves as Falmouth improved to 4-1 and dropped NYA, which is still hitting its stride, to 2-3.
"We did what we needed to," said Yachtsmen coach Robin Haley. "It was a tough game, a physical game. (NYA's) a great team. It's a nice boost. It's like getting the monkey off our back. We did that today and I'm really happy."
One down, two to go
Falmouth went a program-best 10-4 in 2010, losing only to NYA, Waynflete and Yarmouth in the regular season and 11-6 to the Flyers in a hard-fought Western B Final.
The Yachtsmen began 2011 with a 16-7 home win over Greely, then were disappointed by an 18-10 home loss to Waynflete. Trips to Massabesic and York resulted in easy 17-3 and 17-7 victories, respectively.
NYA finally got over the hump and after five state final losses to Waynflete beat the Flyers in last year's championship game, 7-3. The Panthers began this season with a 14-4 home victory over visiting Freeport. NYA dropped a 16-9 home decision to Yarmouth, but bounced back to win at Brunswick, 13-6. Tuesday, however, the Panthers were stunned at Greely, 13-12, in overtime.
Last year, Falmouth gave the host Panthers a scare, before falling, 13-10.
Thursday night, the Yachtsmen dug a hole, but answered with a flourish.
Just 38 seconds into the 25-minute first half, NYA senior standout Lilly Wellenbach took a pass from junior Megan Fortier, a transfer from Falmouth, and beat Aaskov for a 1-0 lead.
Fortier (from sophomore Molly Strabley) struck 67 seconds later and it was quickly 2-0 Panthers.
With 22:09 to go in the half, Bernier assisted junior Sam Smithwick's goal, coming after a turnover, to make it 2-1, but NYA got free position goals from junior Katherine Millett at 18:10 and Wellenbach at 15:52.
Smithwick (from Costello) scored at 14;31, but junior Katie Cawley answered with 11:10 to go in the half and the Panthers appeared in control, up 5-2.
"I kept thinking about the score and telling myself to relax," said Haley. "If we stayed close, I felt good we could make a game of it. In the past, we got nervous and I didn't want that to happen with this group."
Falmouth would score three times in a 2:15 span to draw even.
Bernier got things started with an unassisted tally. Audet followed with a goal after a rebound and with 4:46 to go before halftime, DiPhillippo scored unassisted and it was a 5-5 game.
NYA retook the lead when Wellenbach (from senior Rozi Smith) scored with 2:40 to go and the Panthers held the lead at the break.
In truth, the Yachtsmen could have had a healthy lead at that point if it wasn't for the superb play of NYA senior goalie Frances Leslie. Leslie, in her first year in goal, made eight saves in the initial 25 minutes, almost all of them point blank.
"I thought Frances was fantastic," said Panthers coach Julia Sterling. "She made some big saves."
After more than six scoreless minutes to start the second half, Falmouth drew even at 6-6 when sophomore Geneva Waite (from Costello) scored with 18:13 to play. The hosts took their first lead when Bernier set up sophomore Molly Ryan with 17:39 remaining.
The Panthers tied the game anew when Wellenbach scored unassisted with 16:45 showing. Wellenbach picked up a ground ball with her left hand, then drove in and beat Aaskov.
But with 15:20 to go, Bernier put Falmouth on top for good, making a nice move to elude two defenders. A little over two minutes later, Costello had a free position opportunity, but instead of going for a shot from a difficult angle, she threw a quick pass to Waite, who beat Leslie, making it a 9-7 score.
NYA called timeout, but couldn't stop the onslaught.
With 12:38 to play, Audet scored unassisted. Fifty-five seconds later, DiPhillippo (from senior Laura Fay) found the net. Then, with 6:07 remaining, not long after Aaskov robbed Strabley on the doorstep, DiPhillippo scored an unassisted goal to cap a 5-0 run and give the Yachtsman a seemingly safe 12-7 bulge.
The champions wouldn't quit, however.
With 5:21 left, Fortier (from Strabley) scored and it was 12-8. Just 41 seconds later, Fortier set up Wellenbach to make it 12-9. After the teams traded turnovers, the Panthers cut the deficit to 12-10 when Fortier set up Smith for a goal.
Ryan managed to win the ensuing draw, however, and Falmouth managed to run nearly two minutes off the clock before Waite broke free and found an open Audet in front of the goal. Audet calmly shoveled a backhand shot past Leslie and that iced it.
"Running out the clock is one of my favorite things to do," Bernier said. "You spread out and casually pass it around. You get a lot of draw-and-dump opportunities. It's an advantage when you're up like that. It was nice at the end."
Ryan won one more draw and the Yachtsmen ran out the clock. At 8:13 p.m., Falmouth had finally vanquished the Panthers of North Yarmouth Academy, 13-10.
"It feels really great," DiPhillippo said. "I'm just really happy we did it. Once we got on offense, we settled down, passed it around and looked for our shots. When we had the ball, they didn't and we knew they wouldn't score. We're young, but we have eight or nine seniors, so we're strong in all aspects."
"We were a lot more patient with the ball and played smarter in the offensive end," Haley said. "The defense was phenomenal today. The key was being able to calm down offensively and execute the way I know we can. The Waynflete loss was an eye-opener. It's been a confidence thing. The girls were disappointed with how they played, not to take anything away from Waynflete, because they're great, but it helped us get ready for games like this."
Audet and DiPhillippo had three goals, Bernier, Smithwick and Waite had two and Ryan scored once. Costello had three assists, Bernier two and Fay and Waite one each. DiPhillippo had a team-high seven ground balls, while Fay finished with six and Bernier and sophomore Katie Cooleen each collected five.
Aaskov, who splits time with senior Jen Greene, saved eight shots.
"We're switching off," Haley said, of her goalie rotation. "(Moie) did phenomenal. It's nice having two goalies. She played a great game. They've both done very well for us."
"I think the defense did really well and our goalie made some really great saves," said Bernier. "Once we got the draws more and settled on offense, it got us going. The loss against Waynflete was an upset for us, but this is a big pick-me-up. It's nice. We've never beaten a team like this."
For NYA, Wellenbach, arguably the state's finest player, led all scorers with five goals. Fortier struck twice, while Cawley, Millett and Smith all had one goal. Fortier had three assists, Strabley a pair and Smith one. Strabley had a game-high 10 ground balls, while Fortier and Wellenbach each grabbed eight. Leslie finished with 10 saves.
"It's tough," said Sterling, about her team's recent struggles. "We had exams all week and we have three hard games. It's a great group. I need to keep everyone healthy. Falmouth did a good job double-teaming, making sure to take Lilly out. We're working to pass to others and not rely on her.
The Panthers won 18 of 25 draws. Fortier went 10-of-16, while Wellenbach won 8-of-9. Ryan won just 7-of-25, but got the last two with the game in the balance.
Falmouth had a 45-39 advantage in ground balls, forced 24 turnovers (while only committing 15), outshot the Panthers, 29-23, and had 23 shots on frame to 18 for the visitors.
Fun continues
You can argue that girls' lacrosse features more compelling games this spring than any sport. That trend will continue Saturday when Falmouth visits Yarmouth and NYA plays at Waynflete.
The Panthers are hoping to beat the Flyers for the fourth time in a row and turn things around. Their four-game road trip then ends and Wednesday of next week, they host York.
"We'll rearrange a couple things," Sterling said. "We have some things we need to work on. We need to run more in practice, which we haven't been able to because of weather. The transition we also need to work on. It's a work in progress. (Waynflete) has a tight zone, but we've been confident against them. We hope to turn it around. We don't have a lot of depth, but we're working it out. We're having a lot of fun."
The Yachtsmen hope to beat Yarmouth for the first time. They host Cape Elizabeth in a playoff rematch Wednesday.
"This puts a target on our back for other teams," said DiPhillippo. "They'll want to beat us."
"We're taking it one game at a time," Haley added.

The Asus Eee PC 1000 really showed what a netbook could be. The processor, although a bit slow compared to the ones released in 2010, still holds up well and the rest of the hardware is perfect for a middle school student. It also would be a great for anyone who travels for extended periods of time. The small footprint and, with a bit of software help, the abilty to connect to files over a network make this one great for anyone who works away from home.

Intel Atom: The Intel Atom series is a 64-Bit (not every model supports 64bit) microprocessor for cheap and small notebooks (so called netbooks), MIDs, or UMPCs. The speciality of the new architecture is the "in order" execution (instead of the usual and faster "out of order" execution). Therefore, the transistor count of the Atom series is much lower and, thus, cheaper to produce. Furthermore, the power consumption is very low. The performance per Megahertz is therfore worse than the old Pentium 3M (1,2 GHz on par with a 1.6 GHz Atom).
Power efficient, cheap and slow Netbook single core CPU. Because of the in-order execution, the performance per MHz is worse than Core Solo or Celeron M processors.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
10.2": The netbook/subnotebook has a quite small display format. Nonetheless, it is a common format for netbooks. The advantage is, that the subnotebook/netbook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the small display has the advantage, that it needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is a bit exhausting for the eyes. It is difficult to use high resolutions. » To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

Whilst The International Olympic Committee Consensus On Sports Nutrition states the 'importance of protein for athletes has long been recognized' (R.J. Maughan et al. 2004) there have been few studies that look into the different forms of protein for different types of athletes depending on their nutritional goals, food intolerances or dietary preferences.
That's why we've teamed up with the sports scientists at Myprotein to look at the research surrounding the various proteins on the market – examining everything from the amino acid profile, absorption rates or hypoallergenic properties of each.
Of particular interest for strength athletes is a proteins' ability to induce protein synthesis immediately post workout. This is because, as most athletes will know, resistance training provides the necessary stimulus to your muscles for them to repair and regrow bigger but equally the initial bout of exercise also causes a negative net protein balance i.e. overall muscle breakdown (S.M Phillips, 1997).
This negative net protein balance must be counteracted as soon as possible, if the athlete's goal is to increase muscle mass, since otherwise it's believed the protein balance will remain negative and the 'stimulus' of weight training will be ineffective (Vinod Kumar et al, 2009).
One way of effectively kick-starting protein synthesis is to choose a protein with a high concentration of the amino acid leucine. This is because research shows leucine activates a major complex in the anabolic pathway called the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) (S.M Phillips, 1997). The mTOR is basically one of the body's protein synthesis regulators, energy sensors and nutrient sensors of amino acid availability – specifically leucine.
It's deactivated when leucine concentrations in the body are low and it signals to the body that there isn't enough dietary protein present to synthesize new skeletal muscle protein. Conversely, as leucine concentrations increase, the mTOR is activated and signals to the body there is sufficient dietary protein to synthesize new skeletal muscle protein.
For this reason, Native Whey protein is considered the best protein. This is because it has higher levels of leucine (3 grams of leucine per 25g serving) due to the unique manufacturing process it undergoes.
Unlike other proteins, Native Whey is made by extracting the proteins directly from skimmed milk using membrane technologies at low temperatures (a process known as microfiltration and ultrafiltration) since this ensures the protein obtains an even better amino acid profile. Try Native Whey from MyProtein:
Widely considered to be one of the best whole, non-genetically modified well-rounded proteins on the market today, Hemp protein is not only a great source of protein but also a good source of healthy fats too (as well as fibre, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and chlorophyll).
This is why many athletes look to incorporate hemp protein into their diets, since EFA's have been well documented to be beneficial to athletes aiding in everything from decreasing muscle breakdown, decreasing inflammation, increasing muscle growth, speeding up recovery time, supporting optimal hormone secretion and supporting healthy joints and connective tissue.
Looking more closely at the nutritional breakdown of Hemp protein, it's about 44% healthy oils by weight, out of this 44% oil 80% is essential fatty acids (EFAs). It has a 3:1 ratio of omega 6s to omega 3s which is considered 'optimal' by the World Health Organization. Plus it can be further defined as 55% linoleic acid and 1-4% gamma-linolenic acid, which both are omega 6 acids. The remaining third of the EFAs are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) at 22% and stearidonic acid (SDA) at 0-2%, which are omega 3 acids.
Try Hemp Protein from MyProtein:
Whilst Soy protein is often chosen by vegetarian or vegan athletes as an effective alternative to whey protein, it also has a range of benefits other than supporting dietary preferences.
Firstly, it's considered a complete protein source since it contains an adequate amount of all 9 essential amino acids. More specifically, it has a high concentration of Branch Chain Amino Acids, Glutamine and Arginine which is why Soy protein is considered so effective in helping to maintain and even build muscle mass (I. Dragan et al, 1990) expelling the myth that soy protein is a sub-standard protein source in comparison to whey.
Lastly, in a study conducted at Nippon Sport Science University, it was found soy exerts potent antioxidant effects, perhaps counteracting exercise-induced oxidant stress (Y. Song et al 1996).
Try Soy Protein Isolate from Myprotein:
For some athletes, meeting their daily requirement of protein can prove difficult if they cannot tolerate egg, milk and soy derived protein due to allergies. Perhaps most common is lactose intolerance since as stated by N.S Scrimshaw and E.B Murray (1988) 'most humans, like other mammals, gradually lose the intestinal enzyme lactase after infancy and with it the ability to digest lactose, the principle sugar in milk.'
To give you an idea of how widespread it can be, the same researchers predicted it affected 79% of Native Americans, 75% of blacks, 51% of Hispanics, and 21% of Caucasians. In Africa, Asia, and Latin America prevalence rates range from 15-100% depending on the population studied.
That's why Brown Rice protein is considered a great choice, as it has an amino acid profile closest to mother's milk and 80% protein content, similar to whey concentrate. It is produced by various steps of fermentation, filtration processing and enzymatic processing to remove the protein and fiber from whole grain brown rice. The basis for this process is sprouted whole grain brown rice which is the raw material for production.
Try Brown Rice Protein from Myprotein:
Sports Scientists are claiming that what an athlete consumes is just as important as when it's consumed. It's known as a nutrient timing strategy and it works on the premise that knowing when to eat certain foods is key to reaching your performance goals. Perhaps the most obvious example of this is immediately following training since your muscles are starved and possess a 'sponge like' property that experts believe is responsible for your muscles increased ability for protein synthesis (A. Chesley et al, 1992).
That's why it's important to have a rapidly absorbed protein following training and the reason many athletes use Hydrolysed whey protein – since it's regarded as the most digestible, rapidly absorbed Whey Protein available. This is because the protein is partially pre-digested by enzymes into shorter amino chains which leads to absorption into your system instantly, enabling your muscles to start rebuilding and recovering quickly, making it an ideal post-workout supplement.
In addition, studies have shown that protein containing hydrolysates encourage a greater insulin response during ingestion when compared to intact protein forms (Luc J. C. van Loon et al, 2000). Obviously increased insulin plays an important role on the effectiveness of protein synthesis and the storage of glycogen in muscle tissue, extremely important post workout.
Studies have also investigated the use of protein supplements pre workout as a means of increasing protein synthesis and reducing muscle breakdown and damage. Interestingly, the authors concluded that the effect on the net protein status (breakdown vs. synthesis) was greater when athletes were given just 20 grams of Whey protein 1 hour before exercise (Chad Kerksick et al, 2008) than if they consumed nothing at all.
Secondly, in a similar study conducted at Baylor University in Texas that looked into protein supplementation pre workout, participants performed heavy resistance exercise (3 sets of 6 – 8 repetitions at 85 – 90% 1 RM) 4 days per week for 10 weeks. Participants were assigned to ingest either 20g of protein (comprised of 14 g whey protein and casein and 6g of free amino acids) or 20g carbohydrates before and after each exercise bout for a total of 40 g/day of protein or 40 g/day carbohydrates.
It was found that individuals consuming the protein supplement experienced greater increases in body mass, fat-free mass, strength, serum levels of IGF-1 and myofibrillar protein content (Willoughby DS et al, 2007). In all of the studies whey protein was used as the main source of protein therefore could be used pre workout by strength athletes wanting to maintain and build muscle.
Sleep is so important for athletes since it's during this time that your body produces more growth hormone and replenishes critical neurotransmitters like dopamine and adrenalin. Equally important is this idea of drip feeding the muscles amino acids throughout the night by having a slow releasing protein before bed.
A study conducted at the Division of Endocrinology at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota found that casein demonstrated more of a sustained anabolic effect than the quicker absorbing whey protein (Mattias Soop et al, 2012). It's believed it achieves this because gastric acids found in our stomachs cause the casein molecules to coagulate, which form a gel-like clot that makes for the perfect scenario in amino acid delivery since the process of breaking down the gel takes hours which means your muscles are slowly fed protein throughout the night.
Try these protein variations from MyProtein at key points throughout the day:

Ram - I had one U/S at about 4w2d, and that was too early. I had another one a week later at 5w2d, and it showed a gestational sac & yolk sack in the right place. You can't tell much that early - i.e. couldn't see the little bean - , but you should be able to tell where the little one has implanted and plans to take up residence. Do you have to have anymore hormone checks? I kept getting mine checked until they reached a certain level, and that's when I went back in for the U/S.
Valerie - Happily married to DH since 09/08
Baby Jacob's finally here!! 10/4/11
Thanks Val, that's almost exactly the same times as mine, nothing at todays 4 week. They've told me unless I feel that there's a problem that I don't need to get my hormones rechecked. But they went ahead and scheduled the 2nd u/s for next Thursday.
-Us , Him and her
Ram - I kind of freaked out when there was nothing on the ultrasound at 4w2d, even though they warned me. So try not to be like me! I'm confident that when you go back at 5 weeks, you'll see a nicely growing gestational sac that will be home for the next nine months to your new babe! I can't say enough how excited I am for you!!! Enjoy your camping trip.
And I hope everyone has a fantastic Memorial Day weekend! to everyone!

Hi all,
Boots, I am really proud of you for going to the doc and getting information! You know, you can make small changes and be proud of yourself for them!
On that note, LISTEN GUYS, my mother had a childhood phobia of doctors that continued on and off for her whole life. She passed away at age 49 from breast cancer. She hadn't gotten regular check ups. I take that knowledge and make sure to GO TO THE DOCTOR. She used a midwife probably because of that fear. Now I have more information and would chose a midwife for a different set of reasons, but anyway, you get my point.
I hope everyone has a good, restful weekend.
SA for DP isn't back yet. Today is CD10 so I almost just want to wait for the results until after days 13-14-15.
One exciting note: I am going for acupuncture at a highly rated fertility center (eastern medicine) on Monday!!!! I am TOO excited!
Ram, I am thinking of you and hoping little bean is in the right spot!
Ladies, sorry for the lack of personal responses but it's been a rough few weeks!

Catheleni I started acupuncture on Monday and loved it! I go back today. The diet she put me on is a bit of a challenge but not that bad, will probably help me lose a few pounds which needs to happen anyway. It's a totally different experience than western medicine and I really liked it. Looking forward to going this afternoon and hearing how you do on Monday!
A therapist (34) married an engineer (37) 10/10. Expecting our first around the first of March 2012. Mother to a 7yo , stepmomma to a 10yo awesome and hilarious girl.
Thanks hokievol! Hey, did I miss you joining? You must have been posting elsewhere? Welcome, if you're new!
I am excited because the paperwork the acupuncturist had me fill out is very extensive, and so much more so than any doctor has ever given.
This is a good thing, I think!
Changing diet would be great for me in a way that makes me accountable to someone! I hope she makes me!!

Hello everyone! Just checking in for a sec... I'm in the throes of AF and it's a doozy this month. Ever since going off BC, it's constant cramps unless I am downing like 3 ibuprofin every few hours. I even have to wake up during the night to take pills just to prevent the pain later in the morning. Ugh. I know early pregancy, morning sickness, etc. can be difficult but SWEET MERCY it would be a welcome break from AF madness.
I'll be back in a couple of days. DH and myself are hitting the road for an overnight trip to Dallas. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend full of relaxation. :)
Me (32) and DH (30) welcomed our precious baby boy 1/2013... life is good.
Pitch: Try Aleve, it works for my nasty cramps when ibuprofen won't touch them. It's the only thing I've found that really works. I once had to make do with Tylenol and was miserable and useless for two days, but if I catch them early with Aleve I never have more than a bit of discomfort. Ibuprofen works sometimes, but if I suspect they're going to be bad, I just go straight to Aleve (naproxen sodium is the generic name).

My periods were OK for the first six months I was off BC, but they've been horrible since my m/c one year ago - it must have kick-started something hormonally. Hykue is right about the Aleve. Hope you enjoy your trip!
How can I help my husband relax? This month as I have been getting closer to O he seems to have steam and then peter out before the finish. I told him I just want to have fun and if I get pregnant great! If I don't get pregnant, that is okay, we have another month to try! We aren't out of the BD race yet this month. My temp hasn't spiked yet. I am just worried about him because I think he sees pregnancy as what I "REALLY WANT" right now and that is affecting his mojo.
Aleve is the best especially the 12 hour variety! I hate having to take pills every four hours.
To the teachers that have a little bit of time left, YOU CAN DO IT! This weekend is graduation for my high school seniors. Bittersweet. I always miss the kids when they are gone and wonder who will fill the places in my heart, but someone always comes along to fill in the gap - good and bad. As for what I will do when vacation, I am going to sleep, sew, garden, cook, and repeat.
It has been nice to relax a little more this weekend. Monday will be the best because both my husband and I don't have to go anywhere. yeah for sleeping in.

Hey friends.. I hope everyone is having a good weekend.
Caly.. your DH must be coming home soon.
I'm going to be the threadkeeper for June.. thanks to Rosie and Boots for sending directions. If you have any suggestions for next months thread, please let me know. I started stimulation on Friday.. egg retrieval is tentatively on the 7th and embryo transfer on the 12th. That means my test date will be around father's day.
Welcome new friends, if you have not been added to the front page, please let me know and I'll move you.
RAM!! I haven't said CONGRATS!! CONGRATS!! and don't worry.. This one is going to work out just fine!! Snuggle in baby Ram..
Lilac, were you in the path of that crazy storm yesterday? We caught the edge of it here in Toledo. This is my first summer in the (upper) Midwest, and the weather scares the bejeezus out of me - I'm not used to tornado sirens! Hope all is well with you and that you got to sleep in this morning.
Taxi, I'll be flying to your lovely state to meet DH in 11 days! We're going to hang out with his family in the Bay Area for a few days and then road trip back to Ohio. I'm so excited! A Father's Day BFP would be amazing. I'm hoping so hard for you this month! It's time for the Arc to work its magic for you!
I hope you're all enjoying the holiday weekend! My plan for the day is to stay indoors - it's supposed to be 92 degrees and humid. I start to melt at any temperature above 80. Yuck!
Yes, Calycanth, I was in the middle of the crazy storm! It knocked down trees and electrical lines. Some trees were on fire because of the electrical lines in them. It took my DH and I 45 minutes to make a 10 minute trip across town to get home from a graduation party. We would go down a street and come to a downed tree or electrical lines across the street. We had no electricity until about 4 a.m. this morning. It made me really think about having an emergency plan. We were thankful that no tree came down on our house. Two doors down a tree came down in the back yard, but not on the house. Tell your family you love them! Check on them and make sure you know as much about where they might be when weather isn't good.
I had fun planting peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, basil, leeks, and cucumbers this morning. Planted pansies in my front yard. Tomorrow is a faculty meeting than a couple school related meetings on Wednesday and Thursday, then next weekend is my little sister's wedding. Still waiting to O. Unsure when it might happen really. It was CD28 last month, but I was just getting off birth control pills. Still a low BBT. Haven't had the big patch of EWCM yet.

Hi guys,
Taxi, I'm excited you're going to be theadkeeper! Fun! And I am thinking about you with stimulation and Father's Day testing!
Lilac, thank for the encouragement about finishing school...this week is already shaping up to be super frustrating.
The crazy storms also came through here. Not as much damage as I've seen but plenty of excess water and tree branches everywhere.
Went to my first acupuncture yesterday and the practitioner is really great. Very thorough. I survived and it made me feel kinda different...and she put me on herbs. I go back in one week.
Today I have dull cramping higher than usual...perhaps ovulation cramping, but GSB was negative today and yesterday....
I don't know. DP and I fought yesterday so maybe this month will pass us by. SA is late as hell getting back to us and he's anxious.
Early childhood teacher, animal rescuer, guardian to 2 dogs and 2 cats.Our little kumquat Rose is here! Born 9/18!
Hi Cathelini!! Thanks for the sweet things you said..
OK.. Ladies, I'm going to get working on the July thread.. ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR CLEVER TITLES??
Just lost my post. RAAAARRRRGH!!!!!!!!
Taxi, thanks for threadkeeping! And yay for IVF moving along. I sometimes think part of my type-A personality would love IVF and the schedule, and the technical side of it. If I O according to schedule, I should be testing around Father's Day too. Here's to our upcoming BFPs!!!
Hykue and Caly, thanks for the AF advice. I kept the Motrin/Aleve going constantly and avoided the sickening cramps from last cycle. I'm hoping this tapers off the further away I get from my BC days.... And Caly, that's very exciting about you and your DH and getting together at last! What a fun trip you will have.
Lilac, thanks for the support about finishing up school. It sounds like you had a nice, relaxing holiday. Those are the BEST. Good luck waiting for O. Do you do OPKs?
Cath, that's great about acupuncture! I'm really interested in eastern medicine. What kind of herbs are you on? I hope things work out for you and your guy to try this month. I know we have an outlet with these boards, but I sometimes feel sorry for the guys out there who don't have the same support we do. Most of the time I just forget that DH has emotions about TTC because he's so normal and relaxed about it. (par exemple---me: "OMG I'M OVULATING WAHALAHLAHA!!! dh: "okay. cool. when's dinner?") I guess a SA would be nerve-wracking on the guy's part and I need to be more mindful of my own DH's feelings. Just curious, but where does one get a SA? At the regular doctor's office or somewhere more specific?
AFM, just enjoying my last 6.5 days with my kiddos. Trying to relax and make fun plans for summer, like reading, swimming, learning to sew, cooking delicious meals from my new Barefoot Contessa cookbook, yoga, growing my hair longer, a trip to Santa Fe with DH and his parents, photography, etc. etc. And of course, making a baby.
Me (32) and DH (30) welcomed our precious baby boy 1/2013... life is good.
Taxilady, I was thinking "Don't "July", TTC is fun!" translated to mean "Don't you lie, TTC is fun.
Just a thought. Busy day today. Meeting I expected to be an hour took 3. Just a little more and I can take a break.
Going to be gardening tonight, planting watermelon, squash, and cucumbers. Yeah!

Lilac.. that is perfect!! Except that it is June.. I laughed when I saw my final post asking for a catchy "July" title. Looks like we have our threadkeeper for July.. (pointing at you). Of course, unless hopefully you're joining the DDC.
C'mon guys.. new thread is UP.. it's the one with the boring name "June 30 somethings.."

The Book of Numbers 11-21 describes the many wanderings of the Hebrews in the desert, including the long march north to Bashan (TransJordan). The next book, Deuteronomy, recounts the three discourses of Moses, in which the patriarch, shortly before his death, lays down the Law to the Hebrews, who at the time were camped on the plains of Moab. The first discourse (Deuteronomy 2:23) looks back to the wanderings and mentions that sea invaders from Caphtor had established themselves on the coast of southern Canaan, what is today the Gaza Strip. The name Caphtor refers to Crete, and more generally to the Aegean. These Caphtorians were the same Sea Peoples--Mycenaeans and other proto-Greeks--who at various times threatened Cyprus and the coast of Canaan, from Turkey to Egypt. We know that Merneptah, son of the Pharaoh Ramses II, and also Ramses III, fought major campaigns against these same sea invaders, including pitched sea battles at the mouth of the Nile and off the coast. Shore battles were also fought in northern Egypt. Surviving Egyptian records describe how the pharaohs vanquished the enemy in these battles. However, scholars have questioned the veracity of the Egyptian accounts, because, despite claims of victory, the evidence points to a stinging defeat.[1]
The Sea Peoples were not simply raiders out for booty. They came in search of new lands to settle. According to Deuteronomy (2), the invaders sacked the original Canaanite towns on the coast, drove out or slaughtered the inhabitants, then rebuilt the coastal cities on a much grander scale. The names of these urban centers are recorded in the Bible: Ascalon, Ashdod, Gaza, Ekron and Gath. Probably there were others. According to the great linguist Cyrus Gordon, the invaders from the Aegean, although Greek, spoke a Semitic tongue, like the Minoans. And, in time, they became known as the Philistines, from which the name Palestine is derived.[2] These same invaders are also mentioned in the Song of Miriam, also known as the Song of the Sea (Exodus 15:14), which I have already cited, one of the oldest surviving fragments of oral tradition in the Old Testament.[3] The Philistines are also mentioned in Genesis (26: 2, 8, 18), which suggests that their arrival in Palestine occurred at a very early date.
Mainstream archaeologists dismiss these scriptural references out of hand, however; because they cannot be squared with conventional wisdom about the date of the Hebrew Exodus from Egypt, and the desert wanderings. Considerable evidence does affirm the presence of the Philistines in southern Canaan. For example, in 1992, the ruin of a previously unknown Philistine fortress was discovered in the hill country of Mannaseh, near present-day Al-Ahwat, on a site which overlooks the Samaritan mountains.[4] The construction of the fortress, twelve miles from the sea, probably occurred after the Sea Peoples had consolidated their hold on the coast, and were attempting to expand inland at the expense of the Canaanites. At issue is not the presence of the Philistines--on this scholars are in agreement--but rather, the date of their arrival, which most archaeologists place at or around the start of the twelfth century BC. This conforms with the standard date of the Exodus at around 1250 BC. Most archaeologists believe that the passages from Deuteronomy, Exodus, and Genesis pointing to a much earlier arrival date are unreliable, the result of anachronistic editing by later scribes.[5] The standard chronology of the second millennium which is the basis for these dismissals has been seriously challenged, however, first by Immanuel Velikovsky in the 1950s, and more recently--and much more substantially--by the maverick Egyptologist David Rohl.[6] In his important 1994 book Pharaohs and Kings Rohl pointed out that 100 years of archaeology in Palestine has failed to produce any hard evidence affirming the conventional date of the Hebrew conquest and occupation. For example, Kathleen Kenyon's painstaking stratigraphic analysis of Jericho in the 1950s demonstrated that the site was not even occupied at the time of Joshua's attack, when, we are told, the walls came tumbling down.[7] Some scholars have seized upon Kenyon's work, and similar evidence from Meggido and other sites, to impugn the historicity of the Bible itself, much in the manner of nineteenth century skeptics who equated Biblical history with mythology.
But does the archaeological data, or lack of it, support the wholesale devaluation of the Bible as history? No says David Rohl, who in his book argues that the problem is not with the Bible, but with our interpretation of it. As Rohl points out, without archaeological support, the standard chronology of the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Old Testament) remains entirely derivative, a house of cards based solely on the king lists of the Egyptian pharaohs. The problem is that these king lists, like all regnal dating systems, are extremely difficult to interpret. In regnal dating systems an event in the ancient record is described as having occurred in the year such-and-such of the reign of the ruler so-and-so. The difficulty lies in fixing an absolute date based on this relative information. Interpreting the Egyptian king lists is a tricky business, as it involves a number of variables and uncertainties. For example, if two dynasties were contemporaneous, rather than sequential, as new evidence suggests was often the case--Egypt did not always have a united monarchy--then the true period of their reigns would be less than previously expected. Glitches of this sort tend to add up--they are cumulative--and can skew the chronology by centuries. In Rohl's view this is exactly what has happened; and explains why the archaeological data does not support the conventional date of the Hebrew Exodus. Rohl would amend the record by rolling back the Exodus by some 200 years, to the mid-fifteenth century BC.
It will be years, perhaps decades, before David Rohl's serious challenge has been confirmed or rejected, based on the evidence. Which is why, in this study, I have refrained from fixing dates for the second millennium BC--no sense venturing into quicksand! Nor will I delve into the continuing controversy about the date of the Exodus, wanderings, and conquest. The issues are complex. Furthermore, the matter has been competently discussed elsewhere.[8] The implications for Biblical scholarship are immense. But, fortunately, for our purposes the disputed chronology is unimportant.
Nonetheless, when the dust has finally settled, and scholars arrive at a more precise date for the Hebrew captivity, Exodus, and wanderings, I believe the aforementioned passages in Genesis, Exodus, and Deuteronomy about the Sea Peoples will be affirmed as real history. I do not believe they are anachronistic--later additions.[9] I take this view because I agree with the scholar David Neiman that the timing of Joshua's invasion of the hill country of Canaan was not happenstance. Neiman was convinced that the Hebrews had shrewdly exploited the Philistine occupation of the coastal plain, and even turned it to their advantage. Neiman believed that the Egyptians and Canaanites became so preoccupied with the Philistine menace that the Hebrews were able to move into the hill country from the east unopposed, gain a foothold, and consolidate their position before a decisive counter-attack could be mounted against them.[10] Although the Hebrews later suffered serious defeats at the hands of all three, the Egyptians, Canaanites, and Philistines, they were never subsequently dislodged from Ephraim.[11] The Philistines continued to dominate the coastal plain through the period of the Judges, until they were finally defeated by a coalition of Phoenicians and Hebrews led by King David.
Of course, it is possible that the timing of the Hebrew thrust into Canaan was serendipitous. But I think not. I tend to agree with Neiman. No doubt, Joshua had numerous sources of intelligence, and was himself an astute observer of the changing politico-military situation. Many years before, Moses had sent an expedition from his base in northern Sinai, Kadesh-Barnea, to reconnoiter the southern approaches into Canaan. The party was led by none other than the young Joshua himself. The mission followed the easiest and most direct route through the Negev, along what the Biblical geographer Nelson Glueck called the Way of the Wells.[12] The party returned with frightening reports that the Canaanites "are a people bigger and stronger than we...." Some of the Hebrews rashly attempted an invasion of the Judaean hills anyway, against the advice of Moses, only to be routed north of Hormah by the Canaanites and their allies the Amalekites; and forced to retreat.[13] If Neiman is correct, the growing presence of the Sea Peoples along the coast eventually altered this equation, tipping the balance of power in favor of the Hebrews. No doubt, Moses received continuing intelligence reports from various sources, including his spies, and simply bided his time. The long-awaited opportunity did not arrive, however, until Joshua had assumed leadership of the tribes; which brings us to our real purpose, the exploration of an Old Testament theme whose true importance cannot be guessed by the rare or reluctant attentions it has received from Biblical scholars.

First drive: the BMW i8
BMW's future-proof hybrid sports car is finally here, and we've driven it. But what's it actually like?
Posted: 03 Dec 2014
Er, calibration? Explanation please.
The engineers say the hardest job on the i8 wasn't the new materials or the weight or body. It wasn't even the power units per se. It was getting them to work together, getting everything smooth and maintaining the right variable torque split in corners. Imagine, you change throttle position. The petrol engine reacts, but with a bit of a delay as turbos do. So the electric front motor, and the auxiliary rear motor, have to be controlled to match that transient state, while maintaining the target front-rear torque split to keep the cornering dynamics right. Whatever of the six gears the petrol engine is in. However much grip each wheel has. Mind boggling.
Best not to think too hard. Just to let it get on with it, and enjoy the results, which except in that one tight-bend understeer situation, are fine. Anyway, the engineers say they're still working on a stickier front tyre compound, which should help too.

Hey Joel, I'll be up there on Saturday too. I think I'll goof around on Lynx and maybe go see how far up the BPL road I can get. Thing is I can't get out until the afternoon. Maybe I'll see you up there.:ricky
I'll be out there at some point Sat., but I'm going to Browns in Pomona at 8 to pick up my free R1200GS I'm going to win at the open house! (What optimism!) And test rides, too.
jeepers joel!
i would like to joing you folks but i've made plans to go to el mirage by victorville
perhaps next time!!!
dammit, im needed in SB this weekend and I need to do oil change, TB Sync, Valve Adj and brake fluid change...... oh and tires.
so, yeha.
have fun.
I down for a ride! School has been eating all my time latey and I haven't been riding much aside from between parked car on I-10 to and from school. Where is this mexican restaurant? (a address or GPS is best for me) Is Recon short cut open?
Just before you make a left turn to the street where the 7-11 is, there's a little business section on the left side, or go ahead and park your truck in front of the 7-11 and ride back to the mex restaurant (Ranch Side).
I think Rincon is still closed, but there's a neat trail that we did and this time I plan to do the loop which will bring us back to SCD. Should be home by noon, unless you want to stop for lunch at In-and Out on Sand Canyon.
Tomorrow's forecast is 75°F and cloudy. I like wearing armor and jacket so this condition is perfect for me. No worry about getting dehydrated and overheating.
Artboy, don't be shocked :cry if they call my name as the winner :clap of the brand new GS800 giveaway. Please tell them that I prefer the gray color.
For those planning to enter the drawing, sorry it's already closed :lol3 officially by me.

I won't be able to bring my gps so if you can load these on yours, that will help.
Yeah I'm thrilled, It's got me thinking about putting together a duel sport riding part to my portfolio. This is what they sent me.

Do you have this photo in higher resolution? I'd like to put it on the front page.

well shoot! if there's going to be photo ops count me in!
seriously though, anyone mind if I tag along? I was planning on heading up there this weekend but would prefer the company.
I have to check my tires when I get home however. I changed them last weekend and gave myself TWO pinch flats in the process :baldy
Should be fine but you never know, could have put a slow leak on that last one.
One of these days I'll get it right :deal
I may be able to ride with you guys too.
In in!
Congrats Jammin'. That is a great picture. I thought it needed to be on the front page since you first shared it with us.
Maybe I'll see you guys on Lynx tomorrow.:ricky
Shoot, I never win sweepstakes anyway! Screw the test rides, I'll see yaz in the AM. :lol3

Coconut and Gmelina Cropping System
|By Pinoy Farmer | August 7, 2009
The coconut – based agroforestry system involving coconut + gmelina (Gmelina arborea Roxb.) interplanting under leaf pruned coconut is a scheme to save the coconut industry from being a sunset industry by providing a practical substitute to the cutting of coconut trees.
Gmelina arborea is a fast growing forest tree planted to produce wood for light construction, crafts, decorated veneers, pulp, fuel/charcoal, furnitures etc.
Coconut leaf pruning (CLP) involves the removal or pruning of coconut leaves to allow adequate sunlight for normal development and high yield of perennial and annual coconut intercrops.
1. The existing bearing coconut are pruned from leaf 23 (with the oldest harvestable bunch and below, maintaining 22 living leaf fronds every nut harvest.
Fig. 1. Coconut leaf pruning (CLP) from leaf # 23 (1a) in contrast to no CLP (1b)
2. Plant two (2) rows of gmelina seedlings at 3 x 3 m in between two rows of coconut trees. Fertilize gmelina plants with 14-14-14 following these rates:
Age of plants Rate of 14-14-14/tree (g)
3 mos from planting 5
- 6 mos : 10g
- 1 year : 20g
- 2 years : 30g
- 3 years : 35g
- 4 years : 45g
- 5 years & above : 50g
3. Pruned the lateral branches of 1-3 years old gmelina trees below 3 m height to promote straight and bigger trunks.
4. Harvest 25% of the total gmelina planting at the 3rd year for banana props, fuel; another 25% on the 6th year and the remaining 50% on the 10th year for lumber (wood) and fuel purposes.
Advantages of the Technology
- Improved vegetative (more pruned branches and bigger trunks) and yield (lumber) could be produced from gmelina planted under leaf pruned bearing tall coconuts.
- Gmelina provides for other beneficial uses such as fodder (leaves) for animals, silkworms; as folk medicine (root and bark decoction) good for abdominal tumor, blood disorder, diabetes, fever, etc. and its flowers produced good quality honey.
- Leaf fronds pruned from coconuts can be used as raw materials in handicraft cottage industry products such as baskets, seat cover, brooms and as fuel/charcoal.
- Increased net farm income from gmelina products (as lumber, construction materials, carvings, furnitures) and its by-products (branches as fuel).
- Intercropping gmelina under tall bearing coconuts prevents the cutting of coconut trees for lumber/timber purposes.
Myth and Truths uncovered about gmelina planting under coconut
- On water – depleting capacity – Gmelina thru thick litter it forms at its base, increases the water –absorbing and water-holding capacity of the soil. There was no difference in soil moisture content on areas near gmelina and near coconut trees.
- On soil acidity – Soil pH at plots with and without gmelina showed statistically the same level of pH indicating that gmelina does not cause acidity of the soil.
- On allelophatic effect – no harmful or inhibiting effect on the growth of another plant, i.e. coconut was observed.
- On depletion of organic matter – There was an increase in organic matter content in plots planted to gmelina possibly due to the accumulation of shedded leaves of gmelina on the soil, thus adding to the organic matter content of the soil.
