Hemodialysis is the most common method used to treat advanced and permanent kidney failure. Since the 1960s, when hemodialysis first became a practical treatment for kidney failure, we've learned much about how to make hemodialysis treatments more effective and minimize side effects. In recent years, more compact and simpler dialysis machines have made home dialysis increasingly attractive. But even with better procedures and equipment, hemodialysis is still a complicated and inconvenient therapy that requires a coordinated effort from your whole health care team, including your nephrologist, dialysis nurse, dialysis technician, dietitian, and social worker. The most important members of your health care team are you and your family. By learning about your treatment, you can work with your health care team to give yourself the best possible results, and you can lead a full, active life.
Healthy kidneys clean your blood by removing excess fluid, minerals, and wastes. They also make hormones that keep your bones strong and your blood healthy. When your kidneys fail, harmful wastes build up in your body, your blood pressure may rise, and your body may retain excess fluid and not make enough red blood cells. When this happens, you need treatment to replace the work of your failed kidneys.
In hemodialysis, your blood is allowed to flow, a few ounces at a time, through a special filter that removes wastes and extra fluids. The clean blood is then returned to your body. Removing the harmful wastes and extra salt and fluids helps control your blood pressure and keep the proper balance of chemicals like potassium and sodium in your body.
One of the biggest adjustments you must make when you start hemodialysis treatments is following a strict schedule. Most patients go to a clinic—a dialysis center—three times a week for 3 to 5 or more hours each visit. For example, you may be on a Monday-Wednesday-Friday schedule or a Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday schedule. You may be asked to choose a morning, afternoon, or evening shift, depending on availability and capacity at the dialysis unit. Your dialysis center will explain your options for scheduling regular treatments.
Researchers are exploring whether shorter daily sessions, or longer sessions performed overnight while the patient sleeps, are more effective in removing wastes. Newer dialysis machines make these alternatives more practical with home dialysis. But the Federal Government has not yet established a policy to pay for more than three hemodialysis sessions a week.
Several centers around the country teach people how to perform their own hemodialysis treatments at home. A family member or friend who will be your helper must also take the training, which usually takes at least 4 to 6 weeks. Home dialysis gives you more flexibility in your dialysis schedule. With home hemodialysis, the time for each session and the number of sessions per week may vary, but you must maintain a regular schedule by giving yourself dialysis treatments as often as you would receive them in a dialysis unit.
Even in the best situations, adjusting to the effects of kidney failure and the time you spend on dialysis can be difficult. Aside from the "lost time," you may have less energy. You may need to make changes in your work or home life, giving up some activities and responsibilities. Keeping the same schedule you kept when your kidneys were working can be very difficult now that your kidneys have failed. Accepting this new reality can be very hard on you and your family. A counselor or social worker can answer your questions and help you cope.
Many patients feel depressed when starting dialysis, or after several months of treatment. If you feel depressed, you should talk with your social worker, nurse, or doctor because this is a common problem that can often be treated effectively.
Arteriovenous fistula. One important step before starting hemodialysis is preparing a vascular access, a site on your body from which your blood is removed and returned. A vascular access should be prepared weeks or months before you start dialysis. It will allow easier and more efficient removal and replacement of your blood with fewer complications. For more information about the different kinds of vascular accesses and how to care for them, see the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) fact sheet Vascular Access for Hemodialysis.
When you first visit a hemodialysis center, it may seem like a complicated mix of machines and people. But once you learn how the procedure works and become familiar with the equipment, you'll be more comfortable.
The dialysis machine is about the size of a dishwasher. This machine has three main jobs:
Structure of a typical hollow fiber dialyzer. The dialyzer is a large canister containing thousands of small fibers through which your blood is passed. Dialysis solution, the cleansing fluid, is pumped around these fibers. The fibers allow wastes and extra fluids to pass from your blood into the solution, which carries them away. The dialyzer is sometimes called an artificial kidney.
Reuse. Your dialysis center may use the same dialyzer more than once for your treatments. Reuse is considered safe as long as the dialyzer is cleaned before each use. The dialyzer is tested each time to make sure it's still working, and it should never be used for anyone but you. Before each session, you should be sure that the dialyzer is labeled with your name and check to see that it has been cleaned, disinfected, and tested.
Dialysis solution, also known as dialysate, is the fluid in the dialyzer that helps remove wastes and extra fluid from your blood. It contains chemicals that make it act like a sponge. Your doctor will give you a specific dialysis solution for your treatments. This formula can be adjusted based on how well you handle the treatments and on your blood tests.
Many people find the needle sticks to be one of the hardest parts of hemodialysis treatments. Most people, however, report getting used to them after a few sessions. If you find the needle insertion painful, an anesthetic cream or spray can be applied to the skin. The cream or spray will numb your skin briefly so you won't feel the needle.
Most dialysis centers use two needles—one to carry blood to the dialyzer and one to return the cleaned blood to your body. Some specialized needles are designed with two openings for two-way flow of blood, but these needles are less efficient and require longer sessions. Needles for high-flux or high-efficiency dialysis need to be a little larger than those used with regular dialyzers.
Arterial and venous needles.
Some people prefer to insert their own needles. You'll need training on inserting needles properly to prevent infection and protect your vascular access. You may also learn a "ladder" strategy for needle placement in which you "climb" up the entire length of the access session by session so that you don't weaken an area with a grouping of needle sticks. A different approach is the "buttonhole" strategy in which you use a limited number of sites but insert the needle back into the same hole made by the previous needle stick. Whether you insert your own needles or not, you should know these techniques to better care for your access.
About once a month, your dialysis care team will test your blood by using one of two formulas—URR or Kt/V—to see whether your treatments are removing enough wastes. Both tests look at one specific waste product, called blood urea nitrogen (BUN), as an indicator for the overall level of waste products in your system. For more information about these measurements, see the NIDDK fact sheet Hemodialysis Dose and Adequacy.
Your kidneys do much more than remove wastes and extra fluid. They also make hormones and balance chemicals in your system. When your kidneys stop working, you may have problems with anemia and conditions that affect your bones, nerves, and skin. Some of the more common conditions caused by kidney failure are extreme tiredness, bone problems, joint problems, itching, and "restless legs." Restless legs will keep you awake as you feel them twitching and jumping.
Anemia is a condition in which the volume of red blood cells is low. Red blood cells carry oxygen to cells throughout the body. Without oxygen, cells can't use the energy from food, so someone with anemia may tire easily and look pale. Anemia can also contribute to heart problems.
Anemia is common in people with kidney disease because the kidneys produce the hormone erythropoietin, or EPO, which stimulates the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. Diseased kidneys often don't make enough EPO, and so the bone marrow makes fewer red blood cells. EPO is available commercially and is commonly given to patients on dialysis.
For more information about the causes of and treatments for anemia in kidney failure, see the NIDDK fact sheet Anemia in Chronic Kidney Disease.
The term "renal" describes things related to the kidneys. Renal osteodystrophy, or bone disease of kidney failure, affects 90 percent of dialysis patients. It causes bones to become thin and weak or formed incorrectly and affects both children and adults. Symptoms can be seen in growing children with kidney disease even before they start dialysis. Older patients and women who have gone through menopause are at greater risk for this disease.
For more information about the causes of this bone disease and its treatment in dialysis patients, see the NIDDK fact sheet Chronic Kidney Disease-Mineral and Bone Disorder.
Many people treated with hemodialysis complain of itchy skin, which is often worse during or just after treatment. Itching is common even in people who don't have kidney disease; in kidney failure, however, itching can be made worse by wastes in the bloodstream that current dialyzer membranes can't remove from the blood.
The problem can also be related to high levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Some people have found dramatic relief after having their parathyroid glands removed. The four parathyroid glands sit on the outer surface of the thyroid gland, which is located on the windpipe in the base of your neck, just above the collarbone. The parathyroid glands help control the levels of calcium and phosphorus in the blood.
But a cure for itching that works for everyone has not been found. Phosphate binders seem to help some people; these medications act like sponges to soak up, or bind, phosphorus while it is in the stomach. Others find relief after exposure to ultraviolet light. Still others improve with EPO shots. A few antihistamines (Benadryl, Atarax, Vistaril) have been found to help; also, capsaicin cream applied to the skin may relieve itching by deadening nerve impulses. In any case, taking care of dry skin is important. Applying creams with lanolin or camphor may help.
Patients on dialysis often have insomnia, and some people have a specific problem called the sleep apnea syndrome, which is often signaled by snoring and breaks in snoring. Episodes of apnea are actually breaks in breathing during sleep. Over time, these sleep disturbances can lead to "day-night reversal" (insomnia at night, sleepiness during the day), headache, depression, and decreased alertness. The apnea may be related to the effects of advanced kidney failure on the control of breathing. Treatments that work with people who have sleep apnea, whether they have kidney failure or not, include losing weight, changing sleeping position, and wearing a mask that gently pumps air continuously into the nose (nasal continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP).
Many people on dialysis have trouble sleeping at night because of aching, uncomfortable, jittery, or "restless" legs. You may feel a strong impulse to kick or thrash your legs. Kicking may occur during sleep and disturb a bed partner throughout the night. The causes of restless legs may include nerve damage or chemical imbalances.
Moderate exercise during the day may help, but exercising a few hours before bedtime can make it worse. People with restless leg syndrome should reduce or avoid caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco; some people also find relief with massages or warm baths. A class of drugs called benzodiazepines, often used to treat insomnia or anxiety, may help as well. These prescription drugs include Klonopin, Librium, Valium, and Halcion. A newer and sometimes more effective therapy is levodopa (Sinemet), a drug used to treat Parkinson's disease.
Sleep disorders may seem unimportant, but they can impair your quality of life. Don't hesitate to raise these problems with your nurse, doctor, or social worker.
Dialysis-related amyloidosis (DRA) is common in people who have been on dialysis for more than 5 years. DRA develops when proteins in the blood deposit on joints and tendons, causing pain, stiffness, and fluid in the joints, as is the case with arthritis. Working kidneys filter out these proteins, but dialysis filters are not as effective. For more information, see the NIDDK fact sheet Amyloidosis and Kidney Disease.
Eating the right foods can help improve your dialysis and your health. Your clinic has a dietitian to help you plan meals. Follow the dietitian's advice closely to get the most from your hemodialysis treatments. Here are a few general guidelines.
Fluids. Your dietitian will help you determine how much fluid to drink each day. Extra fluid can raise your blood pressure, make your heart work harder, and increase the stress of dialysis treatments. Remember that many foods—such as soup, ice cream, and fruits—contain plenty of water. Ask your dietitian for tips on controlling your thirst.
Potassium. The mineral potassium is found in many foods, especially fruits and vegetables. Potassium affects how steadily your heart beats, so eating foods with too much of it can be very dangerous to your heart. To control potassium levels in your blood, avoid foods like oranges, bananas, tomatoes, potatoes, and dried fruits. You can remove some of the potassium from potatoes and other vegetables by peeling and soaking them in a large container of water for several hours, then cooking them in fresh water.
You can remove some potassium from potatoes by soaking them in water.
Phosphorus. The mineral phosphorus can weaken your bones and make your skin itch if you consume too much. Control of phosphorus may be even more important than calcium itself in preventing bone disease and related complications. Foods like milk and cheese, dried beans, peas, colas, nuts, and peanut butter are high in phosphorus and should be avoided. You'll probably need to take a phosphate binder with your food to control the phosphorus in your blood between dialysis sessions.
Salt (sodium chloride). Most canned foods and frozen dinners contain high amounts of sodium. Too much of it makes you thirsty, and when you drink more fluid, your heart has to work harder to pump the fluid through your body. Over time, this can cause high blood pressure and congestive heart failure. Try to eat fresh foods that are naturally low in sodium, and look for products labeled "low sodium."
Protein. Before you were on dialysis, your doctor may have told you to follow a low-protein diet to preserve kidney function. But now you have different nutritional priorities. Most people on dialysis are encouraged to eat as much high-quality protein as they can. Protein helps you keep muscle and repair tissue, but protein breaks down into urea (blood urea nitrogen, or BUN) in your body. Some sources of protein, called high-quality proteins, produce less waste than others. High-quality proteins come from meat, fish, poultry, and eggs. Getting most of your protein from these sources can reduce the amount of urea in your blood.
Calories. Calories provide your body with energy. Some people on dialysis need to gain weight. You may need to find ways to add calories to your diet. Vegetable oils—like olive, canola, and safflower oils—are good sources of calories and do not contribute to problems controlling your cholesterol. Hard candy, sugar, honey, jam, and jelly also provide calories and energy. If you have diabetes, however, be very careful about eating sweets. A dietitian's guidance is especially important for people with diabetes.
Supplements. Vitamins and minerals may be missing from your diet because you have to avoid so many foods. Dialysis also removes some vitamins from your body. Your doctor may prescribe a vitamin and mineral supplement designed specifically for people with kidney failure. Take your prescribed supplement after treatment on the days you have hemodialysis. Never take vitamins that you can buy off the store shelf, since they may contain vitamins or minerals that are harmful to you.
You can also ask your dietitian for recipes and titles of cookbooks for patients with kidney disease. Following the restrictions of a diet for kidney disease might be hard at first, but with a little creativity, you can make tasty and satisfying meals. For more information, see the NIDDK booklet Kidney Failure: Eat Right to Feel Right on Hemodialysis.
Treatment for kidney failure is expensive, but Federal health insurance plans pay much of the cost, usually up to 80 percent. Often, private insurance or State programs pay the rest. Your social worker can help you locate resources for financial assistance. For more information, see the NIDDK fact sheet Financial Help for Treatment of Kidney Failure.
The NIDDK, through its Division of Kidney, Urologic, and Hematologic Diseases, supports several programs and studies devoted to improving treatment for patients with progressive kidney disease and permanent kidney failure, including patients on hemodialysis.
The End-Stage Renal Disease Program promotes research to reduce medical problems from bone, blood, nervous system, metabolic, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and endocrine abnormalities in kidney failure and to improve the effectiveness of dialysis and transplantation. The research focuses on evaluating different hemodialysis schedules and on finding the most useful information for measuring dialysis adequacy. The program also seeks to increase kidney graft and patient survival and to maximize quality of life.
The HEMO Study, completed in 2002, tested the theory that a higher dialysis dose and/or high-flux membranes would reduce patient mortality (death) and morbidity (medical problems). Doctors at 15 medical centers recruited more than 1,800 hemodialysis patients and randomly assigned them to high or standard dialysis doses and high- or low-flux filters. The study found no increase in the health or survival of patients who had a higher dialysis dose, who dialyzed with high-flux filters, or who did both.
The U.S. Renal Data System (USRDS) collects, analyzes, and distributes information about the use of dialysis and transplantation to treat kidney failure in the United States. The USRDS is funded directly by the NIDDK in conjunction with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The USRDS publishes an Annual Data Report , which identifies the total population of people being treated for kidney failure; reports on incidence, prevalence, death rates, and trends over time; and develops data on the effects of various treatment approaches. The report also helps identify problems and opportunities for more focused special studies of renal research issues.
The Hemodialysis Vascular Access Clinical Trials Consortium is conducting a series of multicenter, clinical trials of drug therapies to reduce the failure and complication rate of arteriovenous (AV) grafts and fistulas in hemodialysis. These studies are randomized and placebo ontrolled, which means the studies meet the highest standard for scientific accuracy. AV grafts and fistulas prepare the arteries and veins for regular dialysis. See the NIDDK fact sheet Vascular Access for Hemodialysis for more information. Recently developed drugs to prevent blood clots may be evaluated in these large clinical trials.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- New York Lieutenant Governor Robert Duffy says a deal is not done yet, but had good things to say about the state's ongoing lease talks with the Buffalo Bills.
"The talks have gone extraordinarily well. I certainly am not at liberty to disclose where we're at. I can tell you it has been very positive. Hats off to Jeff Littmann (Bills Chief Financial Officer) and hit team, on behalf of the Bills and Russ Brandon (Bills Chief Executive Officer). We are in a good place, but no deal and no agreement is finalized until it's finalized," said Duffy.
The Bills are currently negotiating a new lease with Erie County and New York State that is expected to include more than $200 million in improvements to Ralph Wilson Stadium.
The team's 15-year lease at the stadium in Orchard Park expires in July 2013. The stadium is owned by Erie County.

Designers will no longer be able to hire models with a body mass index that is deemed dangerously low because the Australian fashion industry is preparing to ban skinny models from catwalks and magazines. The new body-image standards will not only influence fashion industry but might also play a significant role in changing the way ordinary people see themselves, especially for teenage girls.
There is now growing empirical support for the proposition that idealized portrayals of women in the Western media have a negative impact upon how adolescent girls and adult women see themselves. In one major American survey of over 500 adolescent girls aged 9–16, nearly 70% believed magazine pictures influenced their idea of the ideal body shape, and 47% of the same sample wished to lose weight as a result. Body image is central to adolescent girls' self-definition, because they have been socialized to believe that appearance is an important basis for self-evaluation and for evaluation by others. However, the media—magazines, TV, films, advertising, music videos—not only emphasize that female self-worth should be based on appearance, but present a powerful cultural ideal of female beauty that is becoming increasingly unattainable. For example, the body size of women in the media is often more than 20% underweight—exceeding a diagnostic criterion for anorexia nervosa of 15% underweight (DSM-IV-TR: American Psychiatric Association, 2000). Using an experimental method, Clay et al (2005) tested the impact of viewing ultra-thin and average-size female magazine models on body image and self-esteem among adolescent girls aged 11–16. They found that viewing ultra-thin or average-size models led to decreases in both body satisfaction and self-esteem in adolescent girls, with changes in self-esteem fully mediated by changes in body satisfaction. These findings demonstrate a causal effect of media images on body satisfaction, apparently spreading to global self-esteem, among girls in the age range over which these variables typically fall most markedly in Western cultures.

So he was vomiting copious amounts of blood out his mouth as the heart attack killed him. It must have been very painful because the blood splatter was really violent and wildly sprayed all over the room. No pets this time, his girlfriend who'd found him was a bit of a dog though.

I bought our stroller about a year ago, and it was a great stroller until I started jogging with it. During the past two months, one of the tires literally exploded in the trunk of my car. Another tire was on the verge of exploding when I found it in the garage with the tube bulging out and the tire displaced off of the wheel. One wheel has been replaced, but the other two need replacing because the plastic has warped and causes the stroller to waddle along as I run. Not to mention it wanders all over when I'm jogging and takes ALOT of energy to keep it on the road.

We have owned 3 P&T's. Liked the design. Have had repeated problems with the wheels. They frequently need air. This one simply blew after adding air-- just below the required PSI.

The wheel is great and was exactly what I needed. The only reason I'm giving this a 4 instead of a 5 is that the product came without any instructions, so I had to look up a bunch of videos on YouTube to figure out how to put it on.

The one thing I love about my stroller is that the parts are super easy to install. A few feels ago I ran over my stroller with my Jeep and the only thing broken was the wheel. I ordered a new wheel and put it on in 30 seconds, and the stroller is as good as new! My old stroller would have been toast and would had to buy a new one!

These wheels are made of soft plastic and don't allow you to pump the tire up past 22psi without blowing out the side of the wheel. You can't inflate the tires enough and it feels like the tires are all low. We've had to replace 2 wheels for the side splitting out. The tires/tubes also get big bulges in them.

I bought a p&t explorer buggy nearly 5 years ago. We have had so much use from it. We've even taken it overseas on a number of occasions. It is great to know that I can still buy parts for it although this model has been discontinued. It is still going strong and the only reason why I needed a new wheel is that I ran over it with my car!!!

I bought a new wheel to replace my old one which exploded. I was happy with the service/delivery etc. the reason I needed a new wheel is because the tyre pressure on the wheel and rim is different and my wheel exploded when pumping it up. Might be worth looking at changing this?

Dangerous issues with some parts of this pram.
Written by: Elsie
Jeudi 21 Mai 20153/5
This is not a review, but a letter to Phil and Teds customer service in an attempt to make contact as all other attempts have failed. I have tried emailing the traditional way and they have never replied despite me reporting an extremely dangerous problem with the design of my pram that recently injured my son (not seriously, but he was in pain and had bruising and a graze to his face). I do not intend to take legal action...but many would. I did everything right, ensuring the pram and all accessories were properly assembled and undamaged when I put him in, but the hood just popped off on one side a sprung with a great deal of force...as it does all the time, but this time it hurt my baby. The pram you made hurt my child due to a design flaw that you know about and you still fail to order a recall on this product? Are you waiting for a child to be seriously injured (the hood attachment narrowly missed my son's eye and it hit him hard enough that if it got his eye he definitely would have required hospitalisation, but it could also cause other head injuries). My two friends with the identical pram have the exact same issue and they've had dangerous near misses with their children being injured also. I've written to you about this and got nothing back. I shouldn't have to consider engaging a lawyer to make you take the time to help me out with a solution before my son is injured again. I wish I'd taken photos of my son's bruise and graze to send you, maybe then I'd get a reply? I should add that this is not a new problem related to normal wear and tear, this problem has been there from when the pram was brand new...which you know, as you recalled this pram for that reason in the UK and issued a small attachment for UK customers to partially address the problem, but not to Australian customers...at least not that I heard about. I require a more satisfactory solution than the small attachment anyway as the hood does, and always has popped off during use, not only when folded.
I have several other design related problems with my pram that I would also like to work with you to find a resolution for, but I need for you to contact me. You have my name and email and I would dearly like to hear from someone without a 'no reply' email who will help me fix these problems before my child is seriously injured.
I have no interest in complaining about general wear and tear issues like the tiny tear in my shopping basket as that's too be expected after a while and is entirely acceptable (and easily fixable by me), nor the slight fading on the top of my hood...these things are quite okay...I'm not just someone who complains about everything. I'm only interested in discussing with you the design issues that risk the safety of a child inside the pram, unrelated to age or wear and tear. Please don't write me off just because my pram isn't brand new anymore....these problems have always been there and are not unique to me, I've just never had any luck communicating with you about them and I learned to live with them....until my baby was bruised and bleeding as a result of a poorly thought out design.
Please take responsibility for this and help me so I can continue to enjoy my otherwise great P&T pram that still has many years left in it and looks almost like new due to more or less good design...with some problems.
Thank you. I look forward to hearing from you via email.

Wheels warp too easily & need replacing.
Written by: Elsie
Mardi 12 Mai 20152/5
I bought replacement wheels for my P&T Explorer and I'm pleased to say the wheels are excellent....they are round and tyre-like, therefore, they are good. However, the reason I needed to buy them is a little disappointing for a pram of apparently such high quality. The old hard plastic rear wheels themselves (not just the tyre) had warped to the point they were no longer round and the pram could not be pushed straight. It was a very uncomfortable ride for baby too. The pram had only even been used on even ground and the tyres had never been overinflated and the tyre tread was still very deep...nowhere near needing replacement.
I also bought new rear mudflaps as my old ones had snapped off the ultra flimsy clip that holds them on. Unfortunately they haven't improved these and I don't expect they'll last long before they break too.
In addition to this, I had previously emailed P&T with some general questions that were not answered on their FAQs, I emailed twice and never received a reply. I've heard this is fairly common with P&T, perhaps because they are aware their product fails prematurely and is expensive to repair using their parts so they don't wish to engage with consumers?
So, yes my replacement wheels are good, but they're the same as the previous ones that warped when they weren't that old and should have had heaps of wear left in them, so I expect these will go the same. I love that I can get replacement parts, but maybe if the pram only used top quality components as you would expect for the price, then I wouldn't need to be replacing parts so much?
The design of the fold ensures the handle bar and footrest will be damaged when the pram is folded, unfolded and potentially when stored, therefore P&T sell these parts also, however they only sell the handlebar complete, even though it's only the foam cover that gets badly damaged....money grab perhaps? Fortunately my handy hubby has worked out a better solution here for me.
So yes I will buy P&T wheels again when needed, but only because I've already bought the pram & need to maintain it, but I'll won't buy another P&T pram. Great pram for puting baby in and pushing....until the wheels warp, the handlebar degrades, the footrest gets scratched and broken, the mudflaps snap off with minimal use.
The sunshade on the main seat and the doubles kit never stay on and the main seat sunshade has even popped off while my toddler was sitting in the seat and the parts that should attach to the seat sprung off and his hit little face. He wasn't badly hurt....that time, but P&T never replied to my email about this incident. Please be very careful with this and find a way to anchor your sunshade on so it can't injure your precious baby.....or a better idea, just buy another brand of pram.
Although I recommend buying these wheels if you have a pram that needs wheels, I do not recommend the pram in the first place and therefore that reflects in my answers to the following questionnaire even though it's meant to be about the wheels

I needed a new rim as the original was warped/ damaged causing many flat tyres. After multiple tube repairs / replacements I phoned around locally to see if outlets stocked but they did not have.

I am back on track with the kids again! Thank you

Explorer Wheels

When my daughter bought a double buggy with pneumatic tyres, I thought it was a bad move. It was......
At one point she let the tyre pressures drop, and went out with them at low pressure. Needless to say the kerb edges damaged the rims, creating a weak spot on both of the rear wheels. After pumping up the tyres, the rim bead ripped on the outside edge of those wheels. Considering they're made of plastic, hardly surprising. Another piece of bad design is while the tyres are clearly marked with a maximum pressure of 35 PSI, in tiny little raised lettering on the wheels (difficult to make out) it's marked that the maximum pressure the wheel rims can handle is 22 PSI. Potential for more damage issues there, I feel. Recommendation: Ditch the pneumatic tyres, fit solid tyres instead. Less to go wrong, you see. As it was, had my 2 grandchildren stranded at the roadside while I made my way to them, and even THEN the buggy wheels blew out.
So easy!

New wheels arrived today (earlier than I thought they would) and after having fitted them, the stroller moves so freely, no wobble! I assume this is what they should have been like when I bought the pram new, but I thought the wobble was because of the way the tyres were blown up. Turns out they've always had a dent on the rims. I just wish I'd realised while the pram was new and I wouldn't have had to fork out $140...

Unnecessary replacement

While the replacement wheel is working great the underlying reason that I had to replace the wheel is very frustrating. This is the second wheel that I have had go bad due to the rim warping and no longer holding the tire in place. I would think an altered design or a different material should be used in order to prevent this from happening. Otherwise we have been extremely pleased with our Explorer stroller and it works great for our 3 1/2 year old and our 15 month old using the dual seats.
Fantastic and easy to install.

The best feature about this 12 inch wheel was it was round. It fitted perfectly as it was identical to the old wheel. However I was disappointed there wasn't a selection of tyre colours to choose from, or the ability to pick a coloured valve cap, so we could really pimp the kids' ride :)

The stroller is great. It handles well, the kids love it, and it is even cool looking. And I like the real wheels for a smooth ride. But why the terrible plastic rims? The tires bulge out because there is very little lip on the cheap rims. I can figure out why they would skimp on the most important aspect of a good stroller.
Rear wheel blowout . . .
Written by: Brian
Vendredi 24 Mai 20131/5
I have had nothing but good to say about this stroller, it is WONDERFUL and I would NEVER even consider getting a different one, that said, I must share a remarkable story, the reason for my having to replace a rear wheel and axel. I was pumping up the tires yesterday and read that on the outside of the tire it says max. 35 PSI . . . the gauge on my pump said 25 when there was a loud POP and the inner tube had cracked the plastic wheel casing and the inner tube was shredded! Upon further investigation I realized that on the inside of the wheel itself it read "Max 25 PSI"!!! Anyway, thats my story and why I rated this particular part 2 stars. Some uniformity in max PSI would have prevented this disaster. Thanks for having replacement parts readily available. I am still VERY pleased with our Phil and Teds experience overall.

LISBON The Town Council will host a public discussion with the Planning Board concerning recommendations to revise the boards scope of powers.
No date was set for the discussion at last weeks council meeting.
Town Councilman Alan D. Dailey said the meeting will not take place soon, but the public is invited whenever it takes place.
In September, the Town Council requested code enforcement officer Christopher J. Sherwin make recommendations about limiting the powers of the Planning Board. Council members specifically were interested in removing the ability of the Planning Board to restrict building on plots less than an acre and taking away its oversight of residential permits.
Mr. Sherwin presented the council with the requested changes, which the council will discuss with the Planning Board before moving ahead.
Two members of the Planning Board, Glenn R. Harris and Secretary Patrick M. Madlin, have said they intend to resign because of the Town Councils actions, although neither has done so yet. Without those resignations, the Town Council is unable to appoint new members.
Mr. Sherwin said new building declined from 2011 to 2012. According to Mr. Sherwin, while there were 153 building permits issued in 2012, only five new houses were built, down from 23 the previous year.
Councilwoman Susan M. Duffy said removing restrictions on building is one of the ways the town can encourage new growth, expand the tax base and keep tax rates down.
Mr. Dailey said unless the tax base grows, We may have to start looking at tax increases.
The 2013 budget lowered the tax rate to $5.35 per $1,000 of assessed value from $5.37 per $1,000 in 2012.

American Idol has its Season 12 premiere tonight, which will see the much-hyped introduction of new judges Niki Minaj and Mariah Carey (oh, and there's Keith Urban too...). Will the new judging table bring in the viewers? The success of The Voice shows there's still interest in the reality-talent format, but will American Idol still prove itself to be the gold standard tonight? Last year's Wednesday season premiere earned a 7.4 rating, which was down from the previous year's 9.8 adults 18-49 rating. Make your predictions for tonight below and tell us why in the comments!

MASSENA - Massena High School teacher Karen Cook recently invited two forensic investigators to share their experiences with her classes.
Senior Investigator Allan Wright and Investigator Brendan Frost from the New York State Police, Black Horse Troop B Forensic Identification Unit, spoke with her students about crime scene investigations and forensic science.
I invited the investigators from Ray Brook Troop B to speak to my students in order to show students how the process of investigation leads to crime scene reconstruction and a solution to a crime – the presentation brings great relevance to what we teach in the classroom, said Ms. Cook.
Senior Investigator Wright and Investigator Frost help investigate serious accidents where criminal charges are likely – usually fatal accidents.
Our unit responds to the serious crimes - homicides, robberies, rapes, fatal car accidents, said Investigator Frost.
Choosing a career is challenging and to truly understand forensics, the investigators walked the students through several of their crime scenes explaining how they come to their conclusions. It was a great opportunity for students to learn what it means to be an investigator.
In addition to getting the right education, the officers stressed the importance of good behavior.
You have to be 20 to take the test but if you are interested in becoming a trooper at some point in your life – the time to become a good person is now. When we do our background investigations we go and talk to everyone youve ever known from the day you were born, said Investigator Wright.
He warned that if that background check reveals your friends include drug users or drug dealers, you become guilty by association and are automatically disqualified from consideration.
Make the decisions now that will affect you for the rest of your life, he said.

HOGANSBURG A Hogansburg man was sentenced Friday in U.S. District Court, Utica, to a year in federal custody for his role in smuggling undocumented aliens into the United States from Canada through the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation.
Ian R.E. Tarbell, 41, also was ordered to undergo three additional years of supervision upon his release after pleading guilty June 25 to bringing aliens to the United States. According to a plea agreement filed with the court, Mr. Tarbell went to a Canadian portion of the reservation and met with a person who hired him to transport undocumented aliens from there to the Walmart parking lot in Massena. He then took the aliens in his truck to the lot without passing through any port of entry for inspection.
John Benedict and his wife, Angela Johnson, both of St. Regis Village, Quebec, have pleaded guilty to charges they took part in the conspiracy. Mr. Benedict was sentenced Feb. 7 to two years in prison, while Ms. Johnson is due to be sentenced May 7.
According to court documents, the couple allowed their home, which is within the reservation, to be used as a way station for aliens entering the country from Canada. Undocumented aliens from Poland and other countries were brought by co-conspirators to Cornwall, Ontario, and then transported by boat or snowmobile across the St. Lawrence River to the residence shared by Mr. Benedict and Ms. Johnson.
In late February 2013, Ms. Johnson and other alleged conspirators transported eight aliens on two snowmobiles across the river to her home. The aliens either rode on the snowmobiles or were towed behind the machines on sleds, according to court documents. Upon arrival in St. Regis Village, the aliens were transferred to an alleged conspirator who drove them by vehicle to Massena.
According to court documents, the conspiracy came to light Feb. 24, 2013, when U.S. Border Patrol agents observed a white Mitsubishi Galant warranting elevated suspicion because it was making numerous movements around the Walmart parking lot in Massena with no one getting in or out. A white Cadillac Escalade pulled into the lot and parked next to the Galant, with four people getting out of the Escalade and into the back seat of the Galant. An agent followed the Galant containing six people onto Route 420 before halting it and finding several undocumented aliens inside.
Dariusz Podgajny, a Polish national, and Oleh Solomon, a Ukraine citizen, admitted to their roles in the smuggling activity. Mr. Solomon was sentenced Feb. 21 to an unspecified amount of time served and Mr. Podgajny is due to be sentenced Thursday.
Two Polish nationals pleaded guilty in July to re-entering the United States without permission after having been deported and were sentenced to about five months time served in federal custody. They also were ordered deported.

Theyre coming.
The emerald ash borer, an exotic beetle that feeds on the living tissue of ash trees, effectively choking them off from nutrients and leaving them to die slowly over a period of two to four years, is on its way to Jefferson County, according to the state Department of Environmental Conservation.
Seven percent or 900 million of the states trees are ash.
Ash trees are popular street trees and often were used to replace elms killed by Dutch elm disease.
There are roughly 406 city-owned ash trees in Watertown, not counting those on private property, according to Jennifer L. Voss, community development coordinator for the Jefferson County Planning Department.
The countys first line of defense in the fight against this invasive forest pest is its highway and public works superintendents, local tree committees, foresters and others who work outdoors, according to a press release from the county Planning Department.
These individuals are invited to attend two training sessions beginning at 8 a.m. May 8 in the large conference room of the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Jefferson County, 203 N. Hamilton St.
The emerald ash borer came to the U.S. in wood shipping materials such as pallets and crates, according to DEC forest pest outreach coordinator Erin K. Brady.
Ms. Brady said they came from Asia and were discovered in 2002 in Detroit; from there, they spread in all directions.
Early detection is key to slowing the spread of the beetle, Ms. Brady said.
The first detector portion of the May 8 training will cover the bugs biology and identification as well as firewood management and quarantine procedures.
A second training session, from 9:15 to 10 a.m., will focus on helping officials create preparedness plans to deal with impacts from the beetle.
The city of Watertown already has written a preparedness plan. It is in the draft stage and has not yet been approved by the City Council, Mrs. Voss said.

Happy with Overstock

Beautiful but a tiny bit wobbly
I love the appearance of these chairs. They are sleek and clean and add a great accent to a corner in the house. The only complaint I have is that they are not terribly sturdy. Not weak per se but ust they creak a little when you sit in them. I tightened everything and to be honest we're not a small family - I'm 5 '10"- 170 pounds - just don't invite the football team over to sit in them.Read More

extremely comfy chair
I promptly received my brown & teal Rose Deco chair. No pieces were missing; nothing was damaged. As excited as I was, I built it right away! There was only some minor assembly that was all accomplished with the provided Allen wrench. The directions were a bit shoddy.. our package came with more washers than described in the written portion, which with we did nothing. You need to use the larger washers for attaching both the legs and the chair back (the smaller washers were absolutely useless as they slid right through the holes and were literally unexplained in the directions). After struggling with our options, however, the assembled chair is sturdy and extremely comfortable! It is a perfect accent piece to our living room and we fully appreciate the functionality of it. I would not be hesitant to offer this seat to a house guest, or fear they would be aching to move elsewhere. I am also happy with the way the chair was engineered to hide all the connecting points via Velcro flaps; these hidden areas really keep the chair looking chic and high-end!Read More
Really small chair.
I am a 150 lb., 5' 5" female and this chair makes me feel like a giant when I sit in it. It is so small! The top of the seat is only 16" from the floor (very low) and the back of the chair stops 6" inches from my shoulders! It looks like a child's chair and is sized accordingly! Plus, after only a few sittings, I can feel the springs already. Except for the color, I am totally disappointed and would not recommend this item. I've ordered from Overstock multiple times in the past and have been pleased, however, this was a *** loss!Read More
Looks and maybe not a lot of substance
I'm an artist selling my work online, so I know that all computer screens are all calibrated differently. I know that when you see a photo, there could be some slight differences in real life. So I expected there to be some differences. But I ordered the Purple Rose on light grey version of this product, and the roses in reality are not purple. They are grey. No way around it. It's like whoever named the product was doing so based on the picture, not by looking at the actual product. This wasn't a show stopping set back, since I have a lot of grey elements in my home, and it matches those nicely. I still would have liked to have the touches of purple the picture leads you to believe are there. The product looks good once assemblied. You'll have to assemble it yourself, and when you do so, you'll pretty quickly realize that it's not a particularly high end structure. Once put together, the velcro flaps and such aren't very visible if you don't know they're there. If it was my only chair, I might be worried about it's ability to last holding actual people regularly over time. But it's an accent chair so it just has to look pretty most of the time, and it does that well. When guests sit on it, they indicate that it's pretty comfortable. It's still new, so the cushion and springs are still in good shape.Read More
Nice small chair
Nice chair for the price. Instructions could be clearer. Comfortable chair. Soft cushion. Use as a chair in bedroom.Read More
Found the size of the chair to be very odd.
Color and overall construction of chair seemed to be adquate for the price, however, the dimensions of the seat of the chair and height of the back of the chair were not listed and were very unproportionate. Besides not feeling comfortable or high enough for support on your back the seat of the chair was very deep. It almost seemed like the seat and the back of the chair should have been swapped.Read More

I've heard Christians say that an appropriate title for a Christian is, "friend of God." I've also heard preachers (eg Beth Moore) say that this is inappropriate: only certain people (Abraham and the Disciples) can be called friends of God.
Which is right? Are modern Christians classified by default as, "friends of God"?
(I'm preferably looking for a Biblical answer.)

First off let me state that this can break programs from the start. Some programs compilied with stack protection will segfault or just croak on start (like BitchX). You've been warned.
IBM released an excellent GCC-2.95.x/3.2 patch for protecting the stack, making it much harder to gain access via overloading the stack which has been one of the most used exploits against OS's since the famous Phrack paper.
!!! NOTE: You'll want to install any other patches before installing IBM's patch !!!
Step One: Download the GCC-3.2 (or 2.95.x if you must) source code from the FSF (http://gcc.gnu.org/)
Step Two: Download the patch for your GCC version from http://www.trl.ibm.com/projects/security/ssp/
Step Three: unzip and untar both GCC and the patches in the current directory (Ex: tar xvzf gcc-3.2.tar.gz && tar xvzf protector-3.2-5.tar.gz)
Step Four: cd into the gcc-3.2/gcc directory and patch the source code (Ex: patch -p1 < ../../protector.dif && patch -p1 < ../../protectonly.dif)
Step Five: Copy the protector header and C-code to the gcc-3.2/gcc directory.
Step Six: Compile and install GCC as normal! Step Seven: add the following line to your shells execution script or profile:
This will ensure that all code is, by default, protected.Code:export STACK_PROTECTOR=1

NEWPORT–Tuesday evening found a familiar face returning to the Northeast Kingdom to play a little basketball.
Kyle Adams, who suited up for the Craftsbury Chargers for the first two years of his varsity basketball career, came to the North Country gymnasium as a member of the Mount Mansfield Cougars to take on the North Country Falcons.
"It has been a smooth transition," said Adams on the move. "The community is great, I love my teammates and I am having a great time playing with these motivated guys."
