Cholestyramine or colestyramine (Questran, Questran Light, Cholybar, Olestyr) is a bile acid sequestrant, which binds bile in the gastrointestinal tract to prevent its reabsorption. It is a strong ion exchange resin, which means it can exchange its chloride anions with anionic bile acids in the gastrointestinal tract and bind them strongly in the resin matrix. The functional group of the anion exchange resin is a quaternary ammonium group attached to an inert styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer.
Cholestyramine removes bile acids from the body by forming insoluble complexes with bile acids in the intestine, which are then excreted in the feces. As a result of this loss of bile acids, more plasma cholesterol is converted to bile acids in the liver to normalize levels. This conversion of cholesterol into bile acids lowers plasma cholesterol levels.
Medical uses[edit]
Bile acid sequestrants such as cholestyramine were first used to treat hypercholesterolemia, but since the introduction of statins, now have only a minor role for this indication. They can also be used to treat the pruritus, or itching, that often occurs during liver failure and other types of cholestasis where the ability to eliminate bile acids is reduced.
Cholestyramine is commonly used to treat diarrhea resulting from bile acid malabsorption.[1] It was first used for this in Crohn's disease patients who had undergone ileal resection.[2] The terminal portion of the small bowel (ileum) is where bile acids are reabsorbed. When this section is removed, the bile acids pass into the large bowel and cause diarrhea due to stimulation of chloride/fluid secretion by the colonocytes resulting in a secretory diarrhea. Cholestyramine prevents this increase in water by making the bile acids insoluble and osmotically inactive. Postileal resection patients should use this medication cautiously, however, because bowel surgery heightens the occurrence of small-bowel obstructions, and several cases are reported in the medical literature of cholestyramine causing bowel obstructions.[3]
Cholestyramine is also used in the control of other types of bile acid diarrhea. The primary, idiopathic form of bile acid diarrhea is a common cause of chronic functional diarrhea, often misdiagnosed as diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D), and most of these patients respond to cholestyramine.[4] It is beneficial in the treatment of postcholecystectomy syndrome chronic diarrhea.[5][6] Cholestyramine is also useful in treating postvagotomy diarrhea.[7][8]
Cholestyramine can also be used in the treatment of Clostridium difficile infections, to adsorb toxins A and B, and reduce the diarrhea and the other symptoms these toxins cause. However, because it is not an anti-infective, it is used in concert with vancomycin.[9]
It is also used in the "wash out" procedure in patients taking leflunomide or teriflunomide to aid drug elimination in the case of drug discontinuation due to severe side effects caused by leflunomide or teriflunomide.[10]
There are limited anecdotal reports by veterinarians that Cholestramine may function as a weak antidote for cycad poisoning in dogs. A mechanism of action has not been identified but might involve prevention of biliary cycasin recycling, and controlled trials have not been conducted to date [reference needed].
Available forms[edit]
Cholestyramine is available as powder form, in 4-g packets, or in larger canisters. In the United States, it can be purchased either as a generic medicine, or as Questran or Questran Light (Bristol-Myers Squibb).
A typical dose is 4 to 8 g once or twice daily, with a maximum dose of 24 g/d.
Side effects[edit]
These side effects have been noted:[11]
- Most frequent: constipation
- Seldom: tooth discoloration, tooth enamel erosion, and premature tooth decay, all from prolonged oral exposure to the suspension
- Increased plasma triglycerides[12]
Patients with hypothyroidism, diabetes, nephrotic syndrome, dysproteinemia, obstructive liver disease, kidney disease, or alcoholism should consult their doctor before taking this medication.[11] Other drugs should be taken at least one hour before or four to six hours after cholestyramine to reduce possible interference with absorption. Patients with phenylketonuria should consult with a physician before taking Questran Light because that product contains phenylalanine.
Drug interactions[edit]
Interactions with these drugs have been noted:[11]
- Digitalis
- Estrogens and progestins
- Oral diabetes drugs
- Penicillin G
- Phenobarbital
- Spironolactone
- Tetracycline
- Thiazide-type diuretic pills
- Thyroid medication
- Warfarin
- Leflunomide
Most interactions are due to the risk of decreased absorption of these drugs. The duration of treatment is not limited, but the prescribing physician should reassess at regular intervals if continued treatment is still necessary. The principal overdose risk is blockage of intestine or stomach.
Cholestyramine may interfere in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamins A, D, E, and K. No special considerations regarding alcohol consumption are made.[11]
A 5% compound with aquaphor can be applied as a topical diaper rash ointment for infants and toddlers.[13]

Finding your buyer: Who will pay you 100% of what you're worth?
By Phil Palmer
Many market forces are at work, so it is becoming more critical to isolate and hone your unique skills.
Competition during prosperous times creates activity, and more business for all, but when expenses are being scrutinized, it is critical to protect your position by knowing your specific skills and finding a buyer who values and will pay for your expertise.
As a company employee, you are bought for 25 percent of your value then to be sold to the company's clients for a suitable profit. To make your 100 percent you must find your buyer — whatever skills or product you may offer.
I suspect this tough environment will continue to evolve. The Department of Labor has asserted that by 2020, close to 45 percent of employment will be those individuals who own their own businesses.
I thought I would pass this on to those with salaries who are feeling squeezed and those on commission who are being affected by the "expense police."

Taking America Hostage and Radicalizing a Revolution
By Behnam Roshan*
On November 4, 1979, student activists from different universities in Tehran climbed up the wall of the U.S. embassy, overtaking the huge compound and taking hostage fifty-two American diplomats and staff. At the time, the students had no clue whatsoever about the repercussions of this undertaking on Iran's domestic politics and foreign relations. In fact, few, if anyone, could foresee that the trajectory of post-revolutionary Iran would change in fundamental ways. The leaders among these students – as at least two of them later claimed – had in mind a very short period for occupying the embassy and holding on to the diplomats for only a few days, thereby sending a strong signal to the U.S. government not to ever contemplate meddling in Iranian affairs or plot a coup similar to the one staged in 1953. However, like many other promised but unfulfilled goals of the revolutionaries, and not unlike other unintended consequences of actions taken by the key players and groups, events way bigger and incredibly more powerful than originally planned had overwhelmed the students and displaced their objectives. From then on, the students were no longer in charge and had become themselves a pawn in the ever-more ferocious and nasty struggle over power and ideology.
One of the most enduring and probably less discussed effects of the hostage crisis was the injection of anti-Americanism into the Iranian revolution that was not so much a natural and immutable part of the revolution. It is true that the revolutionary discourse of the 1970s had an affinity for a third-world, anti-imperialist tradition found in other social movements. And it is also true that Iranians had a lot of grievances against America for their unequivocal support of the Shah, but the vehemently anti-American characteristic of the post-revolutionary narrative was, by and large, shaped by the hostage crisis. It was a "master frame," constructed, albeit not entirely deliberately, in the evolving political dynamics of post-revolutionary state-building. In other words, the new motto was an accidental necessity for a permanent revolution in the making.
Through radicalization of the Iranian revolution, the taking of the U.S. embassy in part caused a major reconfiguration of the domestic political landscape. It not only helped the articulation of a different radical, political, and ideological discourse, but it also eliminated or marginalized a moderate Islamist tradition which could have potentially checked the natural excesses of the revolution. Moreover, the hostage crisis provided the power-elite with the perfect weapon by which to consolidate the revolutionary project and neutralize the real and imagined "counter-revolution." It would not be too far-fetched to argue that the taking of American hostages and the ensuing estrangement between Iran and the United States played a major role in inaugurating the "terror" phase of the revolution. A phase in which friends and foes were more sharply separated and the standards by which to measure loyalty to the ideals of the revolution became stricter and narrower.
On the international front, the hostage crisis significantly changed Iran's definition of itself and the others. The taking of the American embassy in Tehran resulted in a prolonged crisis through which the identity of both sides and images of one side for the other dramatically altered. The construction of perpetual enmity has not really ended ever since. The identity construction aspects of the event have, thus, been far more serious than the concrete and real impacts on Iran's foreign relations and the material consequences that it has brought for Iran. It put Iran in a position where it could more easily be branded as an "abnormal" state and a constant "puzzle" for world powers to deal with. Although some problematic aspects of Iran's foreign policy have long ceased, the normative and symbolic content is not as easily erasable or forgettable. This, by far, is the more important cost that Iran has had to pay. The Iranian leadership obviously would not like to admit that, and implicitly claims that the cost associated with such a project is tolerable and that resistance in and of itself is paying off. As a matter of fact, the "export of the revolution" as a slogan was, to a large degree, an outcome of this dynamic process.
At a more practical level, the hostility between Iran and the United States, the most powerful actor on the world stage, has been enormously costly for Iran's economic and political fortunes. Indeed, it has also been costly for American foreign and security policy. It has complicated the possibility of creating stability in a region that so badly needs it. In a geopolitically important part of the world, a superpower and middle-ranged power collaboration could have created different arrangements more conducive to security and stability. However, the hostage crisis locked Iran in a trajectory of becoming lonelier and, thus, in need of building an indigenous capacity to secure its interests, thereby creating a vicious circle of reinforced threat perception and further estrangement from the world. One could argue that the building of an independent post-revolutionary state was definitely made possible by the anti-Western tilt in the Iranian revolution, and that was, in part, solidified by the hostage crisis and the ratcheting up of the domestic political scene.
This year's anniversary of the taking of the American embassy in Tehran is being celebrated when many of the students and some of their leaders who carried out the takeover thirty years ago are in jail for actively leading the reform movement. It is ironic that the radical turn in the direction of the revolution that they made possible back then is once again reborn by a new generation to haunt them. It is the revival of radicalism that is primarily responsible for their incarceration. What would have happened to the Iranian revolution if Ahmadinejad – who at the time was as a student at the Science and Technology University in Tehran and was in favor of overtaking the Soviet embassy – had prevailed in his idea and the U.S. embassy was not taken?

Happy Friday! I actually got to sleep in today...if you can call getting up at 7 a.m sleeping in. My kids are on "Fall Break" (I know...what?...fall break)! They had yesterday and today off for parent teacher conferences and then this whole coming week. I will literally have no food left by the time they return next week! LOL Majority of it, I'm sure, will be eaten by my son!I started with a card base of basic grey for this card. The background uses some Basic Grey DSP from their pack called Love Nest. Each strip on the DSP is lightly glittered so it's super glitzy IRL.
Anyways...today I'm going to share with you a card I made using the Mojo Monday sketch. This week I'm actually posting it on time! SHOCKER!!!! Here is a picture of the sketch I followed....
Anyways...today I'm going to share with you a card I made using the Mojo Monday sketch. This week I'm actually posting it on time! SHOCKER!!!! Here is a picture of the sketch I followed....
I then added another piece of DSP from the Love Nest collection....that was matted with some blushing bride CS. I adhered that to the card using dimensional adhesive.
Some basic grey and sahara sand CS was cut into an ornate frame using my nestabilities. They were sponged then added to the card with dimensional adhesive.
I added some cream seam binding ribbon at the top corner then adhered all that to the card base.
The tickets were created with my stamps from Close to My Heart called Just the Ticket. I stamped them in a row, using sahara sand for the BG and basic black for the words. They were embossed then I cut them out and sponged them before adding them to the card with glue dots.
Lastly I inked up some chipboard hearts with bravo burgundy and pretty in pink craft ink. They were clear embossed then added to a the card with crystal effects.
The inside was finished off by added some very vanilla CS and a stamped sentiment.
If you like this card check out my ETSY
Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Wanna know who?
It's a fairytale come true for Cameron fans: House grad Jennifer Morrison will make an appearance in the show's rapidly-approaching series finale.
Although a Fox spokesperson declined to comment, TVLine has learned exclusively that the actress — who's currently casting a spell on ABC's Once Upon a Time — recently shot a cameo in the May 21 swan song.
Morrison, whose comeback was OK'd by current employer ABC, joins a growing list of Princeton-Plainsboro alums checking back in before the final curtain falls. As TVLine previously reported, Olivia Wilde (Thirteen), Amber Tamblyn (Masters) and Kal Penn (Kutner) are also set to appear in the episode, titled "Everybody Dies."
Morrison's doc was last seen in the Season 6 episode "Lockdown" when Cameron returned to finalize her divorce from Chase (Jesse Spencer), only to hook up with him one last time.

Men's Tennis Readies for Weekend in Virginia
Feb. 14, 2013
NC State (4-3) vs. William & Mary (2-2)
NC State (4-3) vs. VCU (6-3)
RALEIGH, N.C. - The 34th-ranked NC State men's tennis team will travel to Virginia to face the College of William & Mary on Friday, Feb. 15 and No. 30 Virginia Commonwealth on Saturday, Feb. 16. Friday's match will begin at 4 p.m. in Williamsburg, Va., and the first serve for Saturday's match is set for 2 p.m. in Richmond, Va.
"We're looking forward to another road trip and facing some good competition," said head coach Jon Choboy. "We're pretty healthy this time around and the guys are looking forward to it, so that will definitely be a positive.
"It's always challenging playing back-to-back days," Choboy said. "Our guys are well-conditioned, so playing two days in a row shouldn't be a problem for us."
Three members of Choboy's squad moved into the ITA National Rankings this week, including sophomore Austin Powell, senior Dave Thomson and junior Sean Weber. Powell ranks No. 125 in the singles rankings, while Thomson and Weber are the 41st-ranked duo in doubles.
"Being ranked is a by-product of playing well and doing so against good competition," Choboy added. "We've played a lot of ranked players and teams, so the guys are getting a lot of opportunities. As they succeed they will continue to move up in the rankings."
VCU has two ranked players, No. 14 Max Wennakoski and No. 93 Alexis Heugas. The Rams also have two ranked doubles pairs, No. 37 Alexis Huegas and Dylan McCloskey, and No. 38 Alejandro Argente and Jamie Vazquez Catoira. William & Mary also features a ranked player, as the Tribe is led by Ben Guthrie, ranked No. 103.

We stayed at Hotel del Mare in April 2013 and I can highly recommend it. The staff were friendly and attentive, the room was very good and the location is fantastic. We had a room on the top floor, with views out over the fishing boat harbour, and easy access to the roof top sun terrace. The small fishing hamlet of Marina Grande where the hotel is located has numerous restaurants and bars right on the water front, so if you like seafood this is the place to be. It has the feel of a small quiet fishing village, yet is only about a 10 minute walk from the tourist centre of Sorrento. There are also great views along the coastline of the Bay of Naples, right across to Naples itself on the other side of the Bay, with views of Mt Vesuvius looming above Naples. We would definitely stay at the Hotel del Mare if we return to return to Sorrento.

stayed at the Hotel Del Mare from 14.06.12-17.06.12 for a wedding (elsewhere in Sorrento) Hotel was very nice/clean, staff very friendly and helpful, it was in a great location with most attractions only a short walk albeit up hill (but great to work off the pasta and beer intake) would definitley say its more than ideal for a short stay, price very good also.

My wife and I stayed at Hotel Del Mare in Sorrento when we started our Gulf of Naples adventure.
First and foremost, the location on the beach is just perfect. Walk to the Marina Grande or to the Port to catch a ferry/hydrofoil to Capri..everything is in walking distance.
Secondly, the hospitality of Mr Gianni and his staff is marvellous. Though the place is a small cosy one, the staff really ensures that the stay is one of the memorable ones. Not to mention the breakfast - a rather good and sumptous one.
I would recommend all to give a day to try Mr Gianni's hospitality in the beautiful town of Sorrento.

Video:Learn Japanese: How to Write Hiragana Part 1: a, i, u, e, owith Michael Metcalf
Hiragana is the Japanese alphabet that represents all the sounds in the Japanese language and is used to write Japanese words. Learn how to write a, i, u, e, and o in Hiragana.See Transcript
Transcript:Learn Japanese: How to Write Hiragana Part 1: a, i, u, e, oHi, my name is Michael Metcalf I'm a student of Japanese at the University of Missouri in Columbia for About.com, and by the end of this video you will be able to write a, i, u, e, and o in Hiragana.
The Japanese Alphabet is Called HiraganaHiragana is the Japanese alphabet that represents all the sounds in the Japanese language and is used to write Japanese words and various grammatical functions. I will show the the proper stroke order for each character and then I will show you a simple word that uses that character. So let's get started.
Learn to Pronounce and Write Hiragana Characters CorrectlyLet's start with "a", "a" is a three stroke character and a simple word that uses this character is "ai", "ai" means love. Next, we'll go to "i", it's very simple, it's just two strokes. A word that uses "i" is "ichi" which means one. Next is "u", "u" is also simple, it's a two stroke character. A word that uses "u" is "ue", this means up in Japanese. Next will move on to "e", which is a two stroke character. This is a little difficult and might take some practice until you get the hang of it, but it's fun once you get it. A simple word that uses this is "ie", that means House in Japanese. And lastly, "o", this one is also a little fun. It's a three stroke character. A simple word that uses this is "ooi", which means "many" in Japanese.
Thanks for watching and for more information about how to write Hiragana, check us out on the web, at About.com.

The S.C. Budget and Control Board has approved a 99-year lease at $1 per year for 7 acres at Patriots Point to be used for a Medal of Honor Museum.
The measure, passed on a 3-2 vote Wednesday, clears the way for fundraising to begin on the proposed $100 million museum to be built between the parking lot ticket booth and Renaissance condominiums.
The state agency also approved a lease option for an adjacent 6.5 acres that may be used for a commercial venture, which would provide revenue for both the Patriots Point Development Authority and Medal of Honor Museum Foundation.
"This was a complicated and difficult lease that required everyone to stretch the envelope to make it work," said Ray Chandler, chairman of state-owned Patriots Point Development Authority. "The educational, cultural, social and financial benefits of this approval by the Budget and Control Board will have a lasting effect on many generations to come."

Re: Dual Booting With Linux in Raid
At the moment, my main concern is recognition during installation of Linux. Performance would be great, but it takes a second seat until I can afford something better.
I took a look at your Super Micro link, but unfortunately, that appears to be strictly Intel processors and I'm going to stick with AMD. At the moment, I'm trying to find a GA-K8NSNXP 939 motherboard, but no luck so far. It may be like another Gigabyte mobo that I wanted and found out that it had been discontinued. It also has the Silicon Image 3512 Raid, which may not solve all the problems, but unlike the Nvidia Raid, Gigabyte doesn't list it as a software raid controller. However, According to this:
It may still have some issues to deal with. I won't really know what it's all about until my head stops spinning.

My little sister and my mom made my wedding invitations for me. I never forgot that. I'm sure my sis didn't either, now she's getting revenge. She sent me a list of invitees that had 80+ names for her baby shower. !!!! Apparently we're going to have quite a party.
I've never planned a shower before, and I'm glad to have help from others (for better or worse). We're getting ready to have one pretty party for one pretty baby girl.

Following the news that Microsoft would allow for complete indie self publishing on the Xbox One, a reversal from not only the expected policies for their next generation console, but also from how they handled this on the Xbox 360, Microsoft have released a bit more details to quell any further fears that indie developers might be getting the short end of the stick on the Xbox One. Specifically, Phil Spencer took to Twitter to allay any suspicions that indie developers would get access to a limited set of tools and resources on the console.
When Spencer was asked whether indies would indeed be limited to just the 3GB in the console's Windows partition, he responded: "Goal is to allow devs access to full pool of resources available, no indie RAM limit."
He also talked about discoverability of indie games on the Xbox Live, another concern that carries over from Xbox Live, which made it very difficult for regular users to find indie games. Spencer detailed how this would work on the Xbox One:
"We are committed to creating a search tools and marketplace pivots to allow you to find games you'll like," he said. "More details to come. Likely pivot is 'Most Popular' giving you a view of what people are buying regardless of how it is published."
It sounds like Microsoft is working extra hard to work with indies and give them a flexible, powerful platform tailored to their liking. Considering how hard Sony and Nintendo have worked towards the same end, it's good that Microsoft isn't ignoring indie developers either, especially now that they represent such an important niche of modern gaming.
[Thanks, CVG!]

Learn more about Caleb's positions on the key issues relevant to mid-Missouri. Click an issue below.
Government spending and higher taxes will never stimulate an economy. Our state is at its best when its citizens are working, creating & innovating. The economic downturn we saw in 2008-2012 didn't happen because small business owners weren't doing their jobs. Or because creative minds stopped being creative. It was because government [on both sides of the aisle] established bureaucratic regulations that have strangled our job creators and stifled any chance for economic growth.We must work hard to cut spending and simply live within our means. Individuals and families are punished for compiling debt they can't pay off. Why should state and federal government be any different? It is imperative that we get our fiscal house in order and begin the process of restoration and growth in the years to come. CALEB WAS PROUD TO HAVE THE ENDORSEMENTS OF THE MISSOURI CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND NFIB [National Federation of Independent Business] IN THE 2012 and 2014 ELECTIONS.
Higher taxes simply don't stimulate an economy. Adversely, they stifle innovation, discourage investment, prevent saving, destroy production, and crush the middle class and the poor. Keeping tax rates as low and as simple as possible leaves Americans with more cash to invest in the private sector. Low and simple tax rates also give business owners the certainty and stability to expand without the fear of unnecessary and untimely government interference.
Those in government should be held to an incredibly high standard. We need people of character, integrity, and humility in public office. Unfortunately, corruption and scandals have shaken people's faith in those who represent them…it is time to reverse this trend! The 44th District deserves a representative who will not disappoint, but exceed, expectations in this area. As your State Representative, I have worked diligently to increase government accountability and restore trust between the citizen and government.
In today's world, it's not good enough just to educate children…we have to inspire them! From the earliest ages, today's kids are exposed to the world of Facebook, Twitter, and the world wide web, where everything is instant, and much of it is very engaging to them. If schools and educators want to compete with this new reality, it's time to get out of the education rut we've been in for the last 10-15 years. We must harness the power of technology instead of fighting to push our students away from it. We must welcome new and fresh ideas to the education arena, and find new ways to inspire our kids to become the great leaders and innovators of tomorrow. In addition, I can say that I haven't found a sector of society where healthy competition hasn't benefited that sector to some degree. I think states have the responsibility and obligation to assess the health and value of their public schools and be realistic about struggles and shortfalls. This should be an ongoing and honest dialogue. Mid-Missouri simply cannot afford to follow the path of failing school districts around the state that have literally ceased to be relevant and functional. Everything must be on the table, and the welfare and advancement of our children must be the only desired outcome!
MIZ-ZOU! Until you've experienced all that our campus has to offer, it's hard to appreciate just how great the University of Missouri really is! From academics to research to athletics…MIZZOU is something special. We must ensure that it has the resources it needs to not only maintain that status, but to grow and develop as a national leader in innovation and education. The state's funding of the University is stuck at 2002 levels, and the Governor recently proposed sharp cuts as well as taking money AWAY from the University's "surplus" to cover a state budget shortfall. This is simply not acceptable. The state must do a better job of prioritizing spending and getting its fiscal house in order to ensure that job and revenue creators like the University of Missouri can continue to thrive and boost our local and state economy.
Caleb is pro-life and believes every life is precious. He believes that no public funds should be used for abortion.

Derby County thrash arch rivals Nottingham Forest 5-0
Posted: March 24, 2014|
CRAIG Bryson hit a hat-trick as Derby County trounced bitter rivals Nottingham Forest 5-0 at the iPro Stadium.
As well as reigniting their Championship promotion push, the Rams equalled their biggest ever win against Forest.
The last time they achieved the feat was way back in 1898.
Bryson became the first Derby player to score a hat-trick against Forest since the legendary Steve Bloomer.

Jeff Hendrick and Johnny Russell were also on target for Steve McClaren's side.
Bryson put the home side ahead in the sixth minute, after a frantic opening.
Patrick Bamford could not turn in Jamie Ward's cross from the left but Hendrick recycled the ball and his centre fell to Bryson.
The Scot's persistence was rewarded, taking advantage of a ricochet off Guy Moussi and deflection off Danny Collins to score from 10 yards.
Jamie Mackie beat two men before firing a low shot across the face of goal after 10 minutes.
Mackie was invovled in a tussle with Derby debutant George Thorne, who was later booked for a foul on the Forest forward.
The Rams were looking good going forward, though Craig Forsyth's effort was both high and wide after his run was picked out by Ward.
Forest had their first shot on target after 31 minutes, Radoslaw Majewski's 20-yard curler comfortably held by Lee Grant away to his left.
But Derby went straight up the other end and doubled their lead.
Bamford found Martin, who laid the ball off neatly into the path of Bryson and the Scot coolly slotted home his 14th goal of the season from 12 yards.
Simon Cox was booked for a late challenge on Richard Keogh as the visitors' frustration grew.
And things got worse for Billy Davies' side in the 37th minute.
From a Forest corner, Keogh headed clear and Ward launched the ball forward towards Bamford, who took out two red shirts with a fine pass to release Hendrick.
The Irish midfielder had time to pick his spot and calmly rolled the ball under Karl Darlow to send the home fans wild.
Ward was injured in the build-up and had to be replaced by Russell.
Bamford and Martin both went looking for a fourth goal, while Mackie flashed another effort across the face of goal just before the break.
Derby made it 4-0 after 54 minutes.
Martin picked out Russell in space around the edge of the box and he took full advantage, smashing an unstoppable rising left-foot shot past Darlow.
Forest substitute Darius Henderson and Simon Cox had chances to pull one back for Forest but Derby were not finished.
Russell was denied by a last-ditch tackle when clean through and Martin's neat flick produced a fine reflex save from Darlow.
Bryson bent a free kick inches wide but then got the chance to complete his treble when Bamford was felled in the box by the Forest keeper.
The Scot made no mistake, firing the spot kick down the middle and into the net.
Bryson might have even had a fourth but was denied by Darlow on this occasion.
Forest could not even manage a late consolation, with Matt Derbyshire and Majewski missing the target from good positions.
DERBY COUNTY: Grant, Wisdom, Buxton, Keogh, Forsyth, Thorne, Hendrick, Bryson (Hughes, 86), Ward (Russell, 39), Bamford, Martin (Sammon, 83). Other subs: Legzdins (gk), Naylor, Whitbread, Bailey.

Illinois seems to be cashing in when it comes to video gambling. That's because the machines have pumped more than $100 million into the state's sagging economy this year.
Reels are spinning, and bars like Galesburg's Cherry Street are winning. Video gambling is a big hit at this mom-and-pop business.
"It's fantastic," said owner Stan Devlin. "The revenue that they're bringing in has allowed us to do things we would not have been able to do without it."
Cherry Street was the first Galseburg business to get gaming machines. Since starting last October, it generated six figures in revenue.
Just in June, Cherry Street's machines paid out some $33,000 to customers.
There are now some 1,800 Illinois businesses with video gambling. More than 2,000 applicants are waiting to get in on the action.
"The play has slowed a little bit," Devlin said. "But it's leveled off, and we're happy where it's leveled."
But while Illinois gaming boosts cash-strapped communities, it could create more problems for cities like Galesburg.
Pastor Tyson Parks knows about the lost jobs and broken dreams. At historic Allen Chapel, he worries that expanded gambling will tempt the most vulnerable residents.
"I understand the state's dilemma," he said. "I'd like to see them come up with other options if at all possible."
State and local governments also get a percentage of the gambling revenue. While that won't bust the massive Illinois deficit, it can enhance local services and programs.
"I just hope that what they're doing will help the community in the overall scheme of things," Pastor Parks concluded.
For now at Cherry Street and others, it's just the ticket to boost business.

An improved dry cleaning apparatus and method for the non-aqueous cleaning of fabric materials comprises the introduction of steam into a dryer chamber containing fabric materials previously washed in a non-aqueous organic cleaning solvent such as perchloroethylene. The steam is heated at a sufficient temperature for a duration of time, both of which are determined by the type of fabric and solvents involved. The heated steam volatilizes any excess cleaning solvent contained in or on said fabric creating a gaseous water/solvent mixture which is then subsequently separated from the fabric materials. The gaseous mixture can be condensed, its component parts separated and re-used in the cycle again.

[0001] The invention relates generally to methods for dry cleaning textiles and clothing. More specifically, the present invention relates to a dry cleaning apparatus and modifications thereto which removes excess dry cleaning solvent from the system and is thereby more environmentally friendly.
[0002] Dry cleaning of textiles and, in particular, fine clothing is a well known process in which the garment is immersed in a cleaning solvent other than water which loosens any dirt, grease or grime from the fibers of the garment fabric which is then, in one way or another, evaporated off. There are any number of different solvents and methods for doing this.
[0003] In conventional dry cleaning systems, the effluent vapors or fumes of the solvent such as perchlorethylene (PERC) emanating from the dry cleaning washing machine and dryers generally are vented directly to the atmosphere and thus pollute the atmosphere. By being so vented, they are also lost for reuse. Thus, the escaping vapors not only produce an environmental hazard, but their loss is extremely costly to the dry cleaning establishment.
[0004] Attempts have been made to remove the solvent vapor contained in the air-stream through a bed of activated carbon. The carbon absorbs the solvent vapor or gas held in the air-stream, allowing the thus cleaned air to pass through the carbon bed to atmosphere. See U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,203,110 and 3,538,615 to Fuhring et al. Unfortunately, the carbon bed will only absorb approximately one gallon of solvent per 80 lb. of carbon before becoming saturated with solvent vapor, and must then be de-absorbed by passing a "blanket" of steam through the carbon bed in a reverse direction to that of the absorption flow. The steam and solvent vapors form an azeotrope which must then be condensed, and the resultant water and liquid solvent must be separated according to their specific gravities. Thereafter, the solvent may then be recycled for reuse.
[0005] U.S. Pat. No. 4,622,039 to Merenda discloses and claims a method and means to recapture the cleaning solvent and to reuse the same so that as a result thereof, the solvent is not vented to the atmosphere and thus pollution of the atmosphere is avoided. A dry cleaning washer and a dryer are arranged in a closed cycle system so that the effluent solvent vapor from the washer is delivered to an accumulator chamber simultaneously with the delivery from the dryer of effluent hot air. The hot air superheats the solvent vapor thereby increasing its volatility and the heated and highly volatile solvent vapor is then passed to a condenser which contains feed coils for supplying clean air to the dryer. In passing through the condenser, the superheated solvent vapor instantly liquifies giving off its heat to the cool air, thus pre-heating the clean air prior to its entry into the dryer. The liquified solvent is returned to the washer, or to a storage reservoir.
[0006] U.S. Pat. No. 3,951,597 to Mooring discloses and claims a method of dry cleaning fabrics, draperies or clothing, in situ, by forcefully infusing the fabric in the open atmosphere with special fast-acting, versatile dry cleaning solvent so as to dissolve and suspend various stains and soils in the fabric, even though firmly set due to age. Ambient air is promptly drawn in and droplets of soil-laden solvent is promptly drawn therethrough by suction into a closed waste and suction chamber where the soil is deposited in the form of a sludge, while the carrier air and solvent is discharged to the atmosphere. A special, highly effective, fast-acting, non-flammable and non-toxic solvent such as methylene chloride, trichloro-ethylene is useful for these purposes.
[0007] U.S. Pat. No. 4,086,705 to Wehr discloses a dry cleaning apparatus wherein petroleum solvent vapors which are discharged from a dry cleaning dryer in a heated gaseous mixture of vapors and air are condensed and recovered, and heat energy is recovered for productive use elsewhere. The gaseous mixture of vapors and air is sprayed with relatively cool water to condense the solvent vapors. The resulting liquid mixture of water and solvent is withdrawn from the spray chamber and is subjected to gravitational separation. Water reclaimed in the separation process is reused in the spray chamber. Recovered solvent is reused in a dry cleaning washer. The gravitational separation process is preferably carried out in a series of gravitational separators, and heat is withdrawn from at least one of the separation units for productive use in a heat-consuming device.
[0008] U.S. Pat. No. 3,807,948 to Moore teaches a method of dry cleaning of goods in which the majority of the solvent present in the goods at the conclusion of the actual cleaning is recovered by circulating air, by means of a fan, through the goods in a dry cleaning drum and through a water-cooled condenser and a heating element. A small remaining amount of solvent is removed from the goods by a deodorizing operation, in which air is passed in a closed circuit through the goods in the dry cleaning drum and over a refrigerated surface on which the solvent is condensed.
[0009] Finally, U.S. Pat. No. 3,928,660 to Alderson et al., discloses a dry cleaning finishing method and apparatus for use in combination with a steam clothes press for mixing and pressurizing a liquid so that it can be easily applied to garments being pressed. The apparatus comprises a supply tank that meters the liquid material into a pressure tank. Steam condensate is mixed with steam from the clothes press and this provides the chemically pure water, heat and pressure to the pressure tank that mixes with the sizing concentrate and forces the water-sizing mixture to a spray gun for use when needed or desired by the pressman.
[0010] All of the aforementioned dry cleaning methods either require considerably more steps added to the overall dry cleaning process thereby requiring additional time and expense in carrying out the procedure or additional pieces of dry cleaning machinery which takes up space and also adds to the expense of the operation.
[0011] It is an object of the present invention to provide a dry cleaning means and method for its operation for removing excess cleaning solvent from the fabrics cleaned during the dry cleaning process thereby rendering it more environmentally friendly. The removed solvent is recaptured and contained rather than emitted into the atmosphere.
[0012] The dry cleaning method and apparatus of the present invention removes excess perchlorethylene (PERC) and other volatile cleaning solvents from clothing and fabric by injecting a predetermined amount of steam into a dry cleaning unit or vat wherein the solvent saturated clothing and fabric have been treated. The hot steam further volatilizes any additional PERC remaining in or on the fabric and this is removed from the container by vacuum. The PERC/steam mixture is then condensed and the two components separated for re-use.
[0013]FIG. 1 is an over-all schematic side view of a standard dry cleaning dryer with the attached PERC steam stripper of the present invention.
[0014] During the course of the dry cleaning cycle in any standard dry cleaning system, the volatile cleaning solvents such as perchloroethylene (PERC) will often become absorbed into certain fabrics or clothing articles in excess amounts. Dense fabrics such as camel hair or wool often pose a problem in this regard. In many of the dry cleaning processes known in the art, the PERC cleaning solvent is not always fully removed and thus can result in an unpleasant odor or feel when the article of clothing is worn.
[0015] The present apparatus and method insures that all of the cleaning solvent used in the dry cleaning process is removed from all the articles of clothing without damaging even the most sensitive of fabrics. This is achieved by injecting a pre-determined amount of steam into the drying vat or unit for a precisely defined period of time based upon the size of the load and the types of fabric being cleaned. The steam insures that any excess PERC remaining in the fabric being cleaned is removed by volatilizing the solvent molecules and then physically separating them from the fabric altogether. This not only results in a dry cleaned fabric material that is free from any undesirable chemical odor and slippery feel, but the perchloroethylene or other cleaning solvent can be separated, collected and condensed for re-use.
[0016] Referring now to FIG. 1, a conventional dry-cleaning dryer (2) or vat is utilized to tumble dry the clothing articles and fabrics (not shown) that have been pre-treated with and are saturated with the cleaning solvent of choice, generally perchloroethylene (PERC). The volatile cleaning solvents for the most part are driven off the fabric through the application of heat at the pre-determined range and duration according to the types of fabric being cleaned.
[0017] In the present invention as disclosed in FIG. 1, a steam source for the dryer is provided by the means of a steam pipe (4) located proximate to the dryer and is in communication therewith by means of a secondary conduct or pipe (6). A plurality of secondary conduits (not shown) could also feed off the same steam pipe (4) enabling several dry cleaning dryers to be utilized in tandem all at once. The steam itself is produced by a boiler either located on the premises or distally thereto and is fed via piping to the primary steam pipe (4).
[0018] As discussed earlier, the amount of steam injected in the dryer and the amount of time during which this occurs depends on the size of the dry cleaning load and the types of fabric being cleaned. The temperature of the steam injected is generally governed by these factors and the type of solvent used. Obviously, the smaller or lighter the load and/or the more delicate the fabric, the shorter the duration of steam injection and stripping and/or the cooler the temperature.
[0019] The duration of steam injection then is controlled by the use of a timer (8) located externally to the dry cleaning dryer or vat (2). Preferably, the timer is in juxtaposition to or attached to the outer casing or wall of the dryer (2) and can be manually set or adjusted therefrom. The timer (8) is in electrical communication (10) with the solenoid valve (12) which it operationally controls. Hence, when the timer is turned on to a specified duration of time, the solenoid valve (12) is turned to its open position and the hot steam from the steam pipe (4) is released and enters into tumble dryer (2). The steam enters into the dryer chamber (2) and over time fills the space not taken up by the fabric or clothes. As the clothes tumble about within the dryer (2), the hot steam thoroughly contacts the surface of the clothes and volatilizes or evaporates and cleaning solvent residue remaining thereon. Once the predetermined duration of solvent stripping has concluded, the timer (8) turns off thereby shutting the solenoid valve (12) and cutting off the flow of steam into the tumble dryer or vat (2).
[0020] The dryer (2) is also provided with a conventional exhaust fan or vacuum (not shown) which collectively draws the steam and volatilized cleaning solvent out of internal chamber of the dryer (2) wherein it is subsequently cooled, condensed and collected. The two liquids can then be either physically separated or separated by distillation means as is known in the art. In this manner, the perchloroethylene (PERC) or other organic cleaning solvent as well as the water if necessary can be re-used thereby adding a cost saving benefit to the process. This is also ecologically sound in that the solvent is self contained and not hazardously discharged into the external environment.
[0021] Referring again to FIG. 1, the solvent steam stripper apparatus of the present invention can alternatively be comprised of a manual shut off valve (14) for the shut off and/or open control of the steam release into the internal chamber of the dry cleaning dryer (2). This manual control valve can either be substituted for or utilized in conjunction with the electronically controlled solenoid valve (12) and timer (8) combination. If the manual shut off valve is used in the system by itself, it should only be used when the fabrics to be cleaned and steamed stripped are not delicate materials thereby requiring the use of precise steam injection periods and wherein these times can be operatively determined by the dry cleaner personnel themselves. When used on the secondary injection pipe (6) together or in tandem with the electronically controlled solenoid valve (12) and timer (8), the manual valve (14) can be utilized as an emergency shut off means or when appropriate, in lieu of the solenoid valve (12) and timer.
[0022] As discussed earlier, the temperature of the steam injected into the dryer or vat (2) and the duration of time during which the steam contacts the clothes and strips the fabric of excess cleaning solvent is generally dependent upon the type of fabric being cleaned and, to a lesser degree, the type of solvent used. The more delicate the fabric, shorter steam stripping times and cooler steam temperatures provide the best cleaning results. Consequently, the more durable fabrics can generally withstand higher steam temperatures and longer steam stripping application times. And generally speaking, the duration of time during which the steam is allowed to contact the clothes is inversely related to the temperature of the steam. The hotter the steam, the shorter the steam/clothing contact period and vice versa.

quick and easy
20 seconds on the rack and 20 seconds off the rack. the clamp arm is adjustable and secure. 85 mph with a bike on the roof and no worries. i dont think i agree with the "high security" comment in the description though. i have thrown a cable lock on it to grab something to eat, but i am still nervous my rig will get jacked. the best thing about it is that its easy, fast, and works great with my hardtails. dont own any full suspension bikes so i am not sure it would be good for those silly things.

Read Poems by
James Horn
My life grew older when each day was done
And God who in my life is the only one
I always will worship. love and adore
Takes us away and won't be here anymore.
But while I now am here and still living
To everyone around I will be giving
All they deserve which once was mine
So their lives also can continue to shine.
Happy and joyful all of them will always be
And as they pray to God on bended knee
Forgive them too and wash away each sin
And keep us from ever doing it again.
Things will be lovely, beautiful and nice
When in our lives we let God suffice;
Are no limits to what His love can do;
He sent His son Christ to comfort you.

Virginia Beach, Va. – A second suspect has now been charged in the murder of Norfolk police officer Victor Decker.
Officials say Kareem Hasson Turner was charged Thursday, November 29, 2012, with Second Degree Murder. Turner was arraigned on Friday, November 30, 2012, in General District Court, after an extensive investigation that police say is ongoing.
Turner was arrested in the middle of October but officials say they wanted to keep that development quiet.
According to court documents filed on Monday, the two men are accused of working together to rob and murder Decker.
Commonwealth's Attorney Harvey Bryant told NewsChannel 3 he did not want anyone to know.
"For the safety of our witnesses, many of whom, as you have reported, are in custody and to ensure their continued cooperation, we were trying to keep this under the radar," says Harvey.
They were able to keep it quiet for more than six weeks until the news leaked this weekend.
"I don't think this is a disaster for the case, but it would have been better to keep some of this on the down low for awhile," says Bryant.
Turner remains on a no-bond status.
