This invention relates to the preparation of diorganocarbonates. More particularly it relates to the preparation of dimethyl carbonate.
Diorganocarbonates, typically dimethyl carbonate, may be prepared by the oxidative carbonylation of alcohols in the presence of a catalyst. Typically methanol is reacted with carbon monoxide and oxygen to prepare dimethyl carbonate. The reaction is carried out in the presence of a catalyst; and those skilled in the art constantly seek new catalysts to lower costs, and to improve reaction conditions, yield, rate of production, etc.
There is a substantial body of prior art relating to the production of organic carbonates. Illustrative of these references are the following:

The charge alcohol may be a phenol i.e. when R is aryl. The notation ROH is intended to include polyols such as ethylene glycol, glycerine, sorbitol, poly(oxyalkylene) polyols, etc; in these latter compounds, the formula may more typically be represented as R(OH)n wherein R is derived from an alkyl group and n is an integer, typically 2-10.
Typical charge alcohols which may be employed include:
TABLE I______________________________________ methanol ethanol n-propanol i-propanol benzyl alcohol phenol ethylene glycol glycerine sorbitol poly (oxyethylene-10) glycol etc.______________________________________

It is a thus feature of the method of this invention that the catalyst may be ##STR4## and the promoter may be MX, BX3, BR'3, B(OR')3, R'R3 PX, or R'NR3 X. Illustrative of specific catalyst systems may be the following:
TABLE V______________________________________Catalyst Promoter______________________________________Cu(OMe)Cl LiClCu(OMe)Cl MgCl2Cu(OMe)Cl KClCu(OMe)Cl CaCl2Cu(OMe)Cl BF3Cu(OMe)Cl (C6 H5 CH2)P(C6 H5)3 ClCu(OMe)Cl (C4 H9)4 PBrCu(OMe)Cl (Me)4 NBrCu(OMe)Cl (C6 H5 CH2)N(C2 H5)3______________________________________ Cl
It may be possible to prepare the catalyst system in situ. For example, in one embodiment, there may be added to the reaction mixture, CuCl2 and Mg(OMe)2 which react to give the catalyst system including Cu(OMe)Cl catalyst and MgCl2 promoter.
Although Cu(II) compounds appear to be preferred, it may be possible to utilize systems containing Cu(I) typified by Cu2 Cl2 plus Cu(OMe)Cl or Cu(OCH3)2 ; i.e. systems in which the functioning catalyst system may be a mixed-valent Cu(I and II).
The preferred catalyst system may be those containing Cu(OMe)Cl and (C6 H5 CH2)N(C2 H5)3 Cl; Cu(OMe)Cl and MgCl2 or CaCl2 ; Cu(OMe)Cl and BF3 ; and Cu(OMe)Cl, (C6 H5 CH2)N(C2 H5)3 Cl, and CaCl2 or BF3.
It should be noted that the promoter may be present in the catalyst system in amount of 0.01-5 moles, preferably 0.5-2 moles, say 1 mole per mole of catalyst.
The catalyst system may be present in the reaction mixture in amount of 0.01-50 parts, preferably 0.01-20 parts, say 10 parts per 100 parts of charge alcohol.
Practice of the method of this invention may be carried out by adding 100 parts of the alcohol ROH, preferably methanol to the reaction mixture. The catalyst system may then be added. The system is then subjected to inert gas typically nitrogen at a partial pressure of 5-1000 psi, preferably 100-300 psi, say 100 psi and heated to 20� C.-170� C., preferably 80�-120� C., say 90� C. at a total pressure of 10-2000 psi, preferably 150-600 psi, say 150 psi over 0.25-2 hours, say 0.5 hour.
Carbon monoxide-containing gas is then admitted to a carbon monoxide partial pressure of 5-3000 psi, preferably 100-900 psi, say 350 psi over 0.25-10 hours, say 1 hour.
During this period, the following reaction occurs in the preferred embodiment:
2Cu(OMe)Cl+CO→(MeO)2 CO+2CuCl.
At the end of this time, the reaction mixture may be rapidly cooled to 20� C.-90� C., say 25� C. at total pressure of 15-3000 psi, say 350 psi.
The reaction mixture may be distilled to azeotropically distill off product typically dimethyl carbonate and methanol. This product may be withdrawn as is or further treated to effect greater purification of the dimethyl carbonate.
The residual catalyst system (0.1-50 parts, say 10 parts) may be regenerated as by contacting with oxygen-containing gas, typically air at 20� C.-65� C., say 45� C. for 1-50 hours, say 6 hours in the presence of excess alcohol-typically methanol in amount of 100 parts.
During this regeneration step, the following reaction occurs in the preferred embodiment:
2CuCl+2MeOH+1/2O2 →2Cu(OMe)Cl+H2 O
At the end of the regeneration period the catalyst in methanol may be recycled if the water content is less than about 5 wt.%. If more water than this is present, the catalyst may be separated and then dried by heating to 30� C.-60� C., say 40� C. (under reduced pressure) for 1-10 hours, say 6 hours to yield a substantially anhydrous catalyst system which is recycled using anhydrous methanol.
Product, typically dimethyl carbonate, is recovered in yield (which varies depending on the catalyst system) of 60% or more; and with the preferred catalyst systems, yields of 95%-100% may be attained. Dimethyl carbonate may be used as a solvent, a gasoline extender and octane enhancer and as a reactant in place of phosgene in the preparation of isocyanates, polycarbonates, and various agricultural and pharmaceutical intermediates.
Practice of the method of this invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the following wherein as elsewhere in this specification, all parts are parts by weight unless otherwise noted.
In this example which represents the best mode known of practicing the method of this invention, there is added to the reaction vessel 190 ml of anhydrous methanol and 18.2 g (0.14 mol) of anhydrous Cu(OMe)Cl and 16 g of anhydrous benzyltriethylammonium chloride promoter (C6 H5 CH2)N(C2 H5)3 Cl.
The reaction mixture is pressurized to 100 psig with nitrogen, heated to 90� C. and maintained at 90� C. for 0.5 hour. The pressure is increased to 500 psig with carbon monoxide and stirring is continued for 0.5 hour. The reaction mixture is then cooled to room temperature, and depressurized. The reaction mixture is distilled with added methanol (200 ml) to recover azeotrope containing methanol and dimethyl carbonate. Analysis by Gas Chromatography indicates a yield (based on copper salt) of 101%.
Yield of dimethyl carbonate is determined (by gas chromatographic analyses using 3-pentanone as internal standard) based on copper salt added and 100% dimethyl carbonate selectivity.
Methanol is added (100 ml) and the catalyst is regenerated by bubbling air through the suspension at 45� C. for 6 hours.
In each of Examples II-X, the conditions of Example I are followed except that the promoter is different.
In Example II, no promoter is present. In Examples II, and IV-VII, after the initial run, the catalyst is regenerated by contact with air for 6 hours at 45� C. in the presence of excess methanol. In each case, the catalyst is Cu(OMe)Cl 18.2 g (0.14 mol). (Numbers in parentheses represent the yield which is attained in a subsequent run in which the catalyst used has been regenerated, the reaction conditions being otherwise the same).
TABLE VI______________________________________Example Promoter Moles % Yield______________________________________II -- 19 (22)III PdCl2 0.0014 22IV KCl 0.07 17 (28)V CaCl2 0.07 58 (67)VI CaCl2 0.0175 29 (47)VII BF3.Et2 O 0.07 51 (64)VIII C6 H5 CH2 P(C6 H5)3 Cl 0.07 59IX (C4 H9)4 PBr 0.07 69X (CH3)4 NBr 0.07 64______________________________________
A further series of runs was carried out in excess methanol at 90� C. and 400 psig CO (initial pressure at 20� C.) for 50 minutes using Cu(OMe)Cl as catalyst 37 g (0.285 mol):
TABLE VII______________________________________Example Promoter Moles % Yield______________________________________XI -- 25XII LiCl 0.14 72XIII MgCl2 0.14 79XIV KCl 0.14 92XV CaCl2 0.14 95______________________________________
It will be noted (cf Example IV and XIV) that when potassium chloride is employed, the yield may be increased from 17% up to 92% by increasing the time of reaction from 30 minutes (Example IV) to 50 minutes (Example XIV). It should be noted that the reaction conditions for these two examples are different (Example IV: 500 psig with 70%CO-30%N2, measured at 90� C. and Example XIV: 400 psig with 100% CO, measured at 20� C.).
Another series of runs was carried out in excess methanol at 400 psig CO (initial pressure at 20� C.) and 90� C. for 4 hours.
TABLE VIII______________________________________Example Copper Salt Moles Promoter Moles % Yield______________________________________XVI -- -- Mg(OMe)2 0XVII CuCl2 0.2 Mg(OMe)2 0.2 60XVIII CuCl2 0.4 Mg(OMe)2 0.2 93XIX Cu(OMe)Cl 0.28 -- 76XX Cu(OMe)Cl 0.28 MgCl2 0.14 99______________________________________
From the above Tables, the following conclusions may be noted inter alia:
(i) Highest yields of dimethyl carbonate are obtained when the catalyst is Cu(OMe)Cl and the promoter is benzyltriethylammonium chloride (Ex. I) or MgCl2 (Ex. XX) or CaCl2 (Ex. XV).
(ii) Good yields may be attained with the catalyst systems of this invention.
(iii) High yields may be attained when the catalyst system is generated in situ (Ex. XVIII) from CuCl2 and Mg(OMe)2.
(iv) Generally the use of regenerated catalyst (Ex. II and IV-VII) gives yields which are improved by a substantial factor over the use of the same catalyst in the initial run.
(v) A comparison of Examples XIX and XX indicates that the yield may be increased substantially (99%/76% or 1.3 times) by use of the system of this invention.
(vi) Comparison of Examples XVII and XVIII shows that use of increased quantities of CuCl2 gives increased yields.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the process of this invention makes it possible to obtain higher yields of dimethyl carbonate in shorter times i.e. to increase the rate of formation of desired dimethyl carbonate. Thus in Example XX, it is shown to be possible to attain 99% yield in 4 hours using MgCl2 as promoter. Example XIII shows that it is possible to attain 79% yield after 50 minutes.
If CaCl2 is used as promoter (Example XV), a yield of 95% is attained after 50 minutes. Thus CaCl2 is preferred (on a basis of yield in given time) to MgCl2.
Generally it is possible to attain higher yield by running the reaction for a longer time or by using regenerated and recycled catalyst.
In a further series of runs, the procedure of Example I is duplicated (except that the time of reaction is only 15 minutes) with different promoters:
TABLE IX______________________________________Example Promoter Moles % Yield______________________________________XXI (C6 H5 CH2)N(C2 H5)3 Cl 0.07 14XXII BF3 plus 0.035 (C6 H5 CH2)N(C2 H5)3 Cl 0.035 1:1 mole ratio 71XXIII CaCl2 plus 0.035 (C6 H5 CH2)N(C2 H5)3 Cl 0.035 68 1:1 mole ratio______________________________________
Although this invention has been illustrated by reference to specific embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made which clearly fall within the scope of this invention.

My ten year old was just looking over my shoulder and he says its a Yellow-rumped warbler. I can see some of the markings, so I will lean in that direction, as well. But I hope someone will confirm and if it is, I will let my son know. I am sure he will be tickled. But he can accept a correction, if it is something else. :)
Myrtle Warbler (previously Yellow-rumped Warbler)
Way to go Chillybean, I meant way to go (to your son). lol Please send him my thanks. Thank you Resin for the confirmation.
just lurking around and came across this thread. how wonderful it is to know that there are kids out there who know such things!
when i was a kid, i was interested in books and birds and plants but no one else my age was. i often felt like an outcast but it was of my own design and desire. your boy sounds like a real treasure and cheers to you for raising him.
Ditto trackinsand. It's a pleasure to see youngers that interested in nature. It's great that their interest is nutured by loving parents.

Discovering My Submissiveness
It is always interesting to hear about submission from the submissives point of view. I give you this submissive male story of awakening from an anonymous male.
Discovering My Submissiveness
It is always interesting to hear about submission from the submissives point of view. I give you this submissive male story of awakening from an anonymous male.
I was always, always, always, for as long as I can remember, drawn like a magnet to dominant women. The look, the tone, the image of a dominant female simply entranced me from something like age 11. At least that is as far back as I can recall. However, while I was entranced always in the beginning I just thought dominant women were appealing and I had a fetish and that these were fantasies.
As time has passed I have come to know that it is much more than that. It is much deeper than that. I have found that women can make me "weak" – not "just" in a sexual way, though that too. It is more than that. A lot more. Women can touch something in me that undoes me. It is like I can regress to some former childlike state. They feel bigger, stronger, more knowing and more powerful. I have come to realize it is
not "just" fantasy. Not for me. For the most part it has been experiences with females that showed me who I am.
Women Undo Me
From early on I began to notice that if a woman spoke to me in a certain manner it would undo me. It would "hit" me on the deepest of physical levels. I would feel like my brain would not work. I am not sure the very first time this happened but I will share one time here. I had been dating a woman who was a little older and to my discovery turned out to be very dominant. She was pretty and could be warm at times but there could also be a coldness and even a cruelty to her. At times she would be warm and yet cruel at the same time. She could say the cruelest things but she might say them in an almost friendly way.
I never really understood the idea of being "owned" or being a "pet" when I had read about these ideas but I sort of got it with her. It was like she could tell me what to do and I had to comply. It was not just a mental thing. It was like a physical need to respond as she wanted. I cannot explain it fully. Perhaps an example will help.
Nose to the Wall
One day I was in her apartment. I was a young man at the time and had little knowledge of some D/s concepts or language. Coming in to her apartment she said she had seen me look at another girl and was therefore angry (I had no idea what she was talking about). She hollered at me and sort of banished me from the apartment. Hours later I returned with my tail sort of between my legs. I rang her doorbell. She opened it wide and in about a heartbeat she reached out and grasped me by one of my earlobes firmly. She led me into the apartment the way a mother might lead a boy.
What surprised me was my reaction. I sort of "froze". It was like I knew what she had done and was doing but I had no ability to fight or argue or defend at all. It was a wild feeling. I had not really felt it like that before. She must have sensed it or something. She led me over to a wall and told me to stand with my nose to the wall. I did. It not like I wanted to. It was like I needed to. It was so deep the feeling and need. I will never forget that episode as long as I live.
Doing What I Was Told
I will share another because I think the example is more worthwhile than any explanation. While in college I traveled to see a female friend who went to another school. I had a crush on her and had known her since high school. She was pretty and flirty and tended to be able to wrap men around her finger. She tended to date older guys than me. However I visited I think with some hope. I won't belabor the story
except to say that at one point we were in her apartment and she smilingly handed me a silky half slip. She said she wanted me to try it on for her. I blushed and felt stupid.
I knew full well she was "asking" me to do something that would embarrass and humiliate me and that she would hold over my head in the future but I had to. It was (again) like I was frozen. I went sort of numb and had this feeling that was more of a need. It was like I again needed to do what I was told. I have had a hard time explaining the depth of these feelings. What I know is that they are real and that women can be far more powerful than me. The power and truth of these feelings are undeniable. I know submissiveness is far more than
He is so right about a submissive nature being far more than fantasy. It is a state of being for many men. You may be one of them. If this story resonates with you, perhaps you have a submissive male story of your own that you would like to share with us. Leave a comment.
Today, Ms Lena is guest writing for my blog. Enjoy what this Mistress has to say!
You've heard that popular song, "What A Girl Wants", right? I know you have. Well, mistresses want some things too. Let me be completely honest about what I want most as a mistress. The first thing I insist on is respect. Even though I engage in distance domination with my subs, that does not mean they can do anything they desire. A mistress' authority must be respected at all times. When I give instructions, I expect them to be complied with fully. No excuses.
The rules of D/s etiquette must be followed to the letter. I will always let my submissive know which name I choose to go by. Sometimes, I prefer Mistress, other times I like Goddess. My mood for the day can dictate this. Rest assured that I always give subs appropriate names, such as puny pecker pet or cum breath slut. One of the most important rules is that we never do anything that truly makes the other uncomfortable. Trust and communication are very important because we are playing in a very intimate manner.
The better our rapport with each other, the more fun our sessions will be. The best outcomes happen, when we have talked about our likes and dislikes , as well as expectations. Everyone is sure to be satisfied when we do.
I want to thank Miss Violet for inviting me to be a guest on her blog. This has been a wonderful departure. Check out my blog, http://thekinkadvisor.com/
Getting to Know You
In the beginning, you come to me because you like how I look, or my voice, or my writing. You have read the "About Me" on this blog, so you know some about me, but not much. You are completely new to me. I am hearing your voice, and your desires for the first time. So expect me to ask some questions. This is imperative, so that I can give you a fabulous first session. And I aim for nothing less. I know that taking the time to create a true Mistress submissive connection will make all of our sessions more exciting and meaningful.
You will discover that I am a truly curious woman. I want to know you: your desires, your experiences, your fantasies. This is not mere information for information's sake. I will use all of this to create scenarios, ideas, and in conversation with you. Not just in your first session with me, but in every one thereafter.
Why You Are Calling Me
You are calling me because you have a need. Perhaps you have several needs. You are into a fetish such as cum eating, feminization, edging, or cock and ball torture. It could be any number of specific needs. Your needs might include someone trustworthy to talk about your secret desires and experiences with, or a dominant woman to act as your mentor for a personal or professional project.
One of the aspects of my work I enjoy tremendously is the huge variety. You are unique. Your desires are unique. You bring something to me that is different and therefore intriguing to me. You may have noted that I used to work in the field of mental health. That work was also very interesting and varied. But what I do now has that beat, hands down.
The Mistress submissive Connection
When you realize that you enjoy talking with me, and that we have the chemistry necessary to build the relationship upon, you are going to know that you found the Mistress you have been seeking. I am a lifestyle dominant, with years of real life experience to pull from. That plus my psychology background mean that I know how to get inside your head and figure out what you need, perhaps before you even realize it yourself.
Just because we are miles apart, does not mean that our Mistress submissive connection will be less than you would get in person. Distance domination can be tremendously exciting. I know ways to make it very real for you, so that your submissive needs are met; physically, mentally and emotionally. Because all of those levels matter. And make no mistake…you can be completely dominated by phone.
Forget the Stereotypes
You will get me. The real me. I will wear sexy clothing, but I do not spend the majority of my life in head to toe black leather, or latex. I save that for special occasions. *wink*
Come to me for real domination. Prepare yourself for the experience you have been looking for.
Let's Get Messy!
That got your attention, didn't it? *smile* Recently, my splosh slut, Tim, called. He earned that nick name by taking his messy session to a whole new level, and by introducing a new idea to me. Thank you for that, Tim!
I admit that splosh play is one of my favorite types of session. That is where the caller willingly, joyfully even, gets very messy for me on cam. This usually involves a lot of different foods, which is why this fetish is also known as food play, and I love that. But this session was different.
Splosh Slut Idea
When we connected on cam, I looked for the usual array of colorful food products which I would be instructing him to put, pour, rub on his body…and sit on. But there was nothing like that. I was curious. Not for long.
Tim reached out of the view of the cam and got a full can of shaving cream. I thought it was whipped cream. Wrong. I had him spray it on his nipples and rub it around. Then I told him to spray it into his underwear in the front until it bulged with the cream. Next I had him spray it over his chest generously and rub it all around. This got him very excited. Tim had three vibrators with him, so I had a blast having him put one on each nipple, and one on his cock. I moved them around from time to time. Woohoo!
The Grand Finale
Over the years, I have learned that I get immense pleasure from seeing a submissive man sit on a fancy iced cake, or a fruit pie. So I instructed Tim to spray a bunch of shaving cream into the back of his underwear. I made him show me as he did it, so I could see when he had a huge amount of it back there. Between each application, I guided him through some guided masturbation, keeping that messy cock very hard.
I could sense him trembling with anticipation;wanting the same conclusion that I longed to see. So I said, "Now sit down hard, Tim". He did. I could hear the splat of the shaving cream, see it shoot out the sides between his ass and the seat of the chair. He moaned with satisfaction, and came shortly after. For you, this might be a really enjoyable form of erotic humiliation.
The Best Part
Most splosh play involves lengthy clean up afterward. All Tim had to do was walk into his shower stall, and wash off the shaving cream. There was a minimal amount on the floor or elsewhere. I knew I needed to tell you about this idea, because you can indulge in this version of splosh even if you have less than an hour to play and clean up. I trust this splosh slut idea will inspire you for our next session together!
Tim is a smart little splosh fan. I am really glad he introduced me to his way of indulging in this fun, erotic fetish.
What is your favorite way to do splosh? Do you have splosh slut ideas to share?
It is all in the Balance
What balance, you ask? The balance between being absolutely humiliated about the minute size of your penis, and loving to show it off to any women who will give it a glance. Do not lie to me. You know you love doing that! Humiliated and excited is the state to aim for.
There is one pygmy peepee that fits this description perfectly. He is known by many affectionate names by the Mistresses here. I call him "nubbin", amongst other terms. *laughing* Last night, when he was showing off his disturbingly small growth on cam, I had to be honest and let him know that it looked like a dried fig had been glued to his pubic patch. He really liked that one.
Start With Small Penis Pride
I hope that you, like nubbin, have learned to accept your undersized dick. Even better, I like to think that you have found a way to embrace your fate and make it work for you. Sure…you cannot please a woman with that Pez dispenser. So, you become amazing with your tongue. All is not lost.
No doubt women have looked at your baby gherkin and looked shocked, gasped, giggled, or outright laughed. Over time, instead of having that be complete humiliation for you, it also turns you on. I get how that works. So let's put that to work in your favor.
Peenies on Parade
As an example, "nubbin" recently went to Munich where there are multiple public parks where you can strip down, and get some sun with no clothes on. I asked if he joined in. "Yes!", he replied, with such joy and a hint of shyness in his voice. Actually, nubbin stripped down, and strutted his small penis all over the park.
Did people notice? Oh yes. Did they stare? Of course! Did women laugh? Absolutely. So did some of the men. He reports that many people were incredulous about the tiny size of a full grown man's member. They did not realize cocks could be that small. But this was not quite enough small penis pride exposure for nubbin. This is a guy who has a whole song about his peenie that we Mistresses have written lyrics to.
Next Adventure
Little nubbin went to a club in the UK where everyone is naked. He and two women were sitting in a communal bath. Somehow the topic of his small cock came up. They asked "How small is it?" He stood up so they could get a better look. Trouble is that his shriveled button mushroom was lost in the forest of pubic hair. They immediately understood just how small he is.
He reports that it was highly exciting and so humiliating to show his tiny dicklet off to these attractive women. Yet, he continues to find opportunities to do so. Clearly he likes it. I believe you can grow to enjoy it too. Just face it; you will never be a porn star. You will likely never give a woman an orgasm with what you are packing…or not packing. But there are other options for you.
Time to Confess
What have you done to bring attention and humiliation to your Vienna sausage? I love hearing your small penis pride stories. You never know who you will inspire.

Fable is an opaque, warmed-up bubblegum pink. I've found most bubblegum pink lipsticks to run a tad cool, while I find this one has a definite warm edge to it. I also wouldn't call it matte, and I'd say it is more of a semi-matte finish, because there is some glossiness/sheen to it that I don't normally see in matte textures. I do like the way it looks with just the hint of glossiness, because it keeps the lipstick from being too dry (it's a smidgen creamy) or flat. Illamasqua packs plenty of pigmentation into this tube of lipstick; there's no building or layering required to achieve the opacity as seen in the lip swatch.Read Full Review

At its presentation today for The Walking Dead at Comic-Con International, AMC unveiled a gripping four-and-a-half-minute trailer for Season 2 of the hit drama, providing viewers with a first look at Hershel's Farm and the horrors that drive the survivors there. The network also nailed down the date for the series' return: Its 13-episode second season will premiere Oct. 16 at 9 p.m. ET/PT (one hour earlier), in the middle of the month-long "Fearfest" marathon.
Truly is a great time to be a geek
Geekdom took over the movie theaters and now television.
Everytime I see Shane not dead at the camp, I cringe at how they've robbed Carl of any development. This adaptation sucks. That said, the show itself is pretty good. Looking forward to the new (infuriating) season.
How fucking good is this???? Jesus.
Dangit kill this backstabber (and front stabber hiyyooooo).
Hmmm instead of hiding under the cars why didn't they use the gas in the RV to blow them up? Just wait til the walkers get close enough and set it off someone (gun shot? flare?). Oh well. They have to make it suspenseful. This show is so crazy, I love it. So scary.

Cholesterol Embolism Treatment & Management
- Author: Lisa Kirkland, MD, FACP, FCCM, MSHA; Chief Editor: Vincent Lopez Rowe, MD more...
Medical Care
Medical management is supportive.[12] Hemodynamic monitoring, including pulmonary artery catheterization, may be helpful for fluid and vasopressor adjustments. If acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) occurs, mechanical ventilation may be required for a prolonged period. Dialysis should be started when indicated because patients can recover limited renal function. Aggressive nutritional and metabolic support is essential because these patients often lose considerable lean body mass to ongoing catabolism.
Pharmacologic therapy has not been particularly successful in patients with cholesterol embolism syndrome. Vasodilator therapy with calcium channel blockers may help relieve the local ischemia resulting from vasospasm, but angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors should not be used, because of their negative effects on renal afferent arterioles and the glomerular filtration rate.
Patients presumed to have vasculitis have been treated with high-dose steroids and anti-inflammatory agents, with anecdotal reports of recovery. However, steroids may predispose patients to infectious, metabolic, and nutritional complications and difficulties with wound healing. In a report of four cases of cholesterol embolism after cardiac catherization that were associated with deteriorating renal function, low-dose (0.3 mg/kg/day) corticosteroid therapy yielded improved renal function in three of the four patients.[13]
The use of anticoagulants is controversial because anticoagulants and thrombolytics have been shown to induce atheroemboli. Anecdotal reports of treatment with apheresis, iloprost, statin, colchicine, or combinations of these drugs with steroids report improvement in some cases.[14, 15, 16, 17, 18]
Further invasive vascular procedures and anticoagulant or thrombolytic therapies should be avoided. If such treatments are unavoidable, downstream protection devices to trap atheromatous debris after stenting or angioplasty are suggested.[19]
Surgical Care
Surgical therapy (eg, aortic aneurysm resection) may be necessary to remove the source of atheroembolic material. Stent-grafting may be a less invasive method to reduce risk of embolization.[20]
Damaged tissue should be protected and allowed to demarcate for several months. Surprisingly, a majority of the damaged area may recover. Necrotic tissue should be debrided, and establishing vascular access for dialysis also may be necessary.
In severe cases, lumbar sympathetic block (rarely, surgical sympathectomy) has been used to avoid impending lower-extremity tissue loss resulting from intense vasoconstriction.
If an invasive radiologic procedure is necessary, the risk of inducing cholesterol embolism must be considered. If the patient is at high risk, with known or suspected severe aortic atherosclerosis or aortic aneurysm, the Judkins (ie, brachial) approach or a radial artery approach may be used for introducing the catheter into the aorta. However, some investigators found that the approach made no difference, leading them to suspect the ascending aorta as a major source of atheroemboli.
Gentle handling of the severely diseased aorta during cardiac or aortic surgery can reduce the risk of cholesterol embolism. Careful clamping techniques and careful selection of aortotomy sites may minimize disruption of the atherosclerotic plaque.
The following consultations should be considered as indicated:

10 Things You're Missing If You Haven't Been to Winston-Salem
06/29/2016 - This eclectic city in northwestern North Carolina has the Smokies and the Blue Ridge to the west and the Outer Banks to the east. Its famed hyphen comes from the merger of two cities in 1913. Salem was settled in 1766 by serious-minded, Eastern European Moravians known for arts and culture. Upstart Winston, established in 1851, attracted entrepreneurs like tobacco titan R.J. Reynolds. Put the two together, and you have a city with a thriving arts community—it's home to the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, the National Black Theatre Festival, and much more—and an inventive spirit. Krispy Kreme doughnuts, Texas Pete hot sauce, and US Airways were born here.

The result is 42 acres of vines on a beautiful 120-acre estate—and a Chianti worth writing home about.

Katy Perry has flown to Down Under to continue her California Dreams world tour. During one of her stops in the country, the "I Kissed a Girl" hitmaker surprised her devotees by singing an acoustic version of Rebecca Black's viral hit "Friday".
"So I can't play the flute, but it doesn't really matter, you know why? 'Cause all magical things happen on a Friday," Katy said at the beginning of the set. Before proceeding to sing the next song, she gushed, "I'm so glad that someone wrote a song about Friday."
Katy Perry is going to stay in Australia at least until mid May. She still has concerts in Sydney, Brisbane, Auckland, Wellington and Newcastle. Later this summer, she will bring her entourage back to North America for a bunch of live gigs.

Appears some good size blocks being purchased today.
That makes me feel better...RetiredArmyJoe was right to say that we should have averaged in yesterday...but I'm at my limit of comfort at the moment.
If some of my other positions start making steam I may toss around a little more into this and round things out nicely.
Sentiment: Hold
yes, I added some more at .60 to average down but it was gut wrench time for me to add as my limit of comfort has now been reached.
