Reviews of this property
For my wife and I and my three daughters aged 13, 15 and 17 years, this was the perfect base for 10 days in Florence. On the second floor in a small street we could be after each immersed in the bustle of the city, quiet place to be. No view, but before you go out anyway. Facilities (kitchen, bathroom) were okay, even with three fans and one air conditioning unit in the living room. Furthermore, we also got two sets of clean sheets and towels. Osvaldo manager was helpful. All in all a good value for money.
Voor mijn vrouw en ik en mijn drie dochters van 13, 15 en 17 jaar was dit de perfecte uitvalsbasis voor 10 dagen in Florence. Op twee hoog in een klein straatje konden wij telkens na te zijn ondergedompeld in de drukte van de stad, rustig toeven. Geen uitzicht, maar daarvoor ga je toch naar buiten. Voorzieningen (keuken, badkamer) waren oke, met ook nog drie ventilatoren en een air conditioning apparaat in de woonkamer. Verder kregen wij ook nog twee sets schone lakens en handdoeken. Manager Osvaldo was behulpzaam. Al met al een goede prijs kwaliteit verhouding.
I would start by saying this apartment could not be better placed, it's position next to the Uffizi and a stones throw from the Ponte Vecchio could not be bettered. The apartment itself was situated in an unpreposessing road both narrow and dark, with evidence that close neighbours might be using their premises for night work.
If the building it was in was 14th century as described I would be astonished, think servants quarters rather than home of anyone else. The description led us to believe that the apartment had been renovated in 2012, if I had paid for the renovation I would ask for my money back. Most things in the kitchen worked but not the oven, to get to the second bedroom one had to go through the first not terrible but inconvenient at times,
The aparment is really good, location is one of the best. You are in the center of the city and every point of interest in florece can be reach by walking. In the apartment you find everything you need. Osvaldo is friendly and came always on time. I would recomend this apartment if you are looking a nice place to stay in florence with your family.

Our stay in Florence was wonderful (I apologize if I leave my review only now!) And accommodation in this apartment was perfect. Very nice, spacious, friendly, and located in a strategic area to be able to walk to all the downtown attractions. It was very quiet and we rested well. I recommend everyone to stay in this apartment of great charm! Thanks again for your warm welcome and hope to soon!
Il nostro soggiorno a Firenze è stato meraviglioso (mi scuso se lascio la mia recensione solo ora!) e la sistemazione in questo appartamento è stata ideale. Molto bello, spazioso, accogliente, e situato in zona strategica per poter raggiungere a piedi tutte attrazioni del centro. Era molto tranquillo ed abbiamo riposato benissimo. Raccomando a tutti di soggiornare in questo appartamento di grande charme! Grazie ancora della calorosa accoglienza e spero a presto!
The apartment was in the center of Florence, near the Duomo.
It was very well equipped, with all the details, very clean, and has made us very comfortable. For us, we just had one catch and that was on the third floor without elevator.
I want to thank our host, willingness and kindness helped us to make our stay in Florence more pleasant, giving us all we request explanations.
El apartamento estaba en el centro historico de Florencia, muy cerca del Duomo.
Estaba muy bien equipado, con todos los detalles, muy limpio, y nos ha hecho estar muy comodos. Para nosotros, solo hemos tenido una pega y es que estaba en un tercer piso sin ascensor.
Quiero agradecer a nuestro anfitrion, su disposición y amabilidad que nos ayudo para que nuestra estancia en Florencia, fuera mas agradable, dandonos todas las explicaciones que le solicitamos.
The apartment was exactly as described: quiet, centrally located and equipped with everything you need. We felt immediately at home. The owner gave us a lot of helpful tips on cheaper restaurants, shopping and attractions. The week in Florence will be remembered for a long time in your memory.
Die Wohnung war genau wie beschrieben: ruhig, zentral gelegen und ausgestattet mit allem, was man so braucht. Wir fühlten uns von Anfang an zuhause. Der Vermieter gab uns viele hilfreiche Tipps bezüglich günstiger Restaurants, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Sehenswürdigkeiten. Die Woche in Florenz wird uns lange in guter Erinnerung bleiben.
This studio is located very close to Il Duomo, on the 4th (top) floor of an old building -no elevator. While not having a view, it is bright thanks to a skylight and another high window. The large bathroom window and the small bedroom window can be opened so that there is plenty of fresh air. Comfortable bed, excellent bathroom and kitchen. Check-in and check-out was easy.
great location in Florence, confortable and spacious appartment, good beds.

That exhaust leak i had broke through and the muffler nose dived. thank god that I had a mini sledge on me and a knife so i just cut one exhaust hangar off (the bolt ladder looking kind with a piece of rubber between them) i cut it through the rubber obviously, and the other hangar was the typical "hangar" once i cut the other one and knocked it loose with the sledge, i just slid it off the "L" rod and threw it in the bed of my truck (took about 15 minutes) thank god my father helped me recharge my A/C the day before or my son would have been roasting in my truck while i was doing that... moral of the story??? fix your damn exhaust leak when it happens! my dad aint gonna leave me alone now lol quick side note that flowmaster muffler is 10 years old!!! been from Texas to washington DC, to Bangkok, Thailand for 3 years, then back to San antonio for a few years, then with me to college down here in corpus christi, texas. yeah my truck has been around, but time to replace it now!

text: Hi there In my place I setup today a network printer in such a way, that I can scan-to-email while the printer itself supports only scan-2-ftp. The printer itself provides a custom of scan profile that can easily customized. In that way I could setup for everyone an own profile and hence custom login data to the ftp server. The ftp server itself is a small "home-made" business server. It serves the webpage and acts as email server. So on that server I setup proftpd with virtual users on mysql according to the howtos in here. With that combination I was able to provide for each scan-to-ftp profile on the printer a custom ftp mail account with a custom dir. What I needed then was a script that regurarly checks the ftp folders and sends an email if a new file is there. I used this script here that i wrote: Code: #!/bin/bash user_arr[1]="user1" user_arr[2]="user2" user_arr[3]="user3" user_arr[4]="user4" user_arr[5]="user5" email_arr[1]="[email protected][email protected][email protected][email protected][email protected] And then I run that every minute by cron. I have tested this a little today and it works quite well. However I'm not sure if that script above is good. The only way I could think of to check if a new document has been finished transferring from the printer to the server is by the use of the lsof command. If you have better suggestions I'd be glad to hear that.

Dec 11, 2012 at 6:56 pm #1296982
till today I have avoided any sort of synthetic food for my hiking needs, I have normally hiked on 2 cups of oats or a cliff bar. But offlate I have been noticing my strength is decreasing and having issues completing the hike. I have decided to give artificial nutrition a try and thinking about hammer nutrition Perpetuem.
I will be going a snowshoe trip this weekend with 4K of elevation gain in 6 miles. Any suggestions on how to use Perpetuem. All I have been reading about it is related to cycling not much out there on hiking or backpacking. I weigh 130Lbs and normally slow and steady to win the race guy.Dec 11, 2012 at 7:54 pm #1934904

I use Perpetuem regularly when backpacking and fastpacking and love it. It really gives me a good bang for the buck as far as my energy levels go. I have used the Cafe Latte the last couple of years for breakfast to get up and moving in camp quickly. It has a bit of caffeine as well, which is a nice bonus for me. I just mix mine with about 12 – 14 oz. of water and it works fine for me. I haven't, and probably won't, try the solid tabs as that method of ingestion has no appeal to me.Dec 11, 2012 at 9:17 pm #1934921

I use Perpetuem while cycling. I like the cafe latte one with the caffeine boost. I generally use it during the last leg of a longer ride (say last 10 miles of a century).
Mainly though, I use Heed…I use this every other water bottle (once an hour)…with a Fizz endurolyte tablet added. I also use this hiking. I like the melon Heed and the grapefruit Fizz…a nice change from plain water…100 calories and some sodium/electrolytes.
While we're on a Hammer kick, I also use Hammer Gels (I like the espresso, huckleberry, or raspberry) for a quick kick while still moving on the trail.
-Mark in St. LouisDec 12, 2012 at 4:32 am #1934952
For some strange reason there is almost an isolation of much of the BPing community when it comes to fueling for higher intensity events. Some of the cutting edge endurance nutrition is done in the field of cycling. Why cycling instead of BPing? Money.
Perpetuem is nothing more than Maltodextrin and protein. I started using Perpetuem after a snowshoe trip in the Sierra, see thread below. When I put together my resupply plan for the PCT I considered taking quite abit of Perpetuem but the cost and taste made me look elsewhere. I ended up mixing up my own using Maltodexrin, Electrolytes and flavoring. It tasted better, was way cheaper (less than $2/lb) and contained electrolytes which I quickly discovered were critical for me.
So if you like the taste then yes it is an excellent source of fuel for hiking or snowshoeing.

Make sure to try it out before your trip. Most people find some brands/flavors are easier on the stomach than others. Also, mix/water ratios vary widely on user preference. I usually like mine more watered down than the manufacturer recommendation.Dec 12, 2012 at 7:38 am #1934981
When do you start sipping it, just before you start the trekk or an hour before the start.Dec 12, 2012 at 10:57 am #1935014
Well actually it is food so you treat it no differently. If you normally get moving and eat 1st breakfast on the move then do the same with this. I would also second the try it before committing. It took me several tries over a variety of conditions to nail down my formula. Even after thru hiking I modified the ratio of mix to water and now make up 32 oz. bottle with about 900 calories, enough for three eating hours or six real hours because I alternate 1 hour of Malto and 1 hour of other junk food. I now pack out the 900 calories in a 20oz water bottle. For an upcoming 4 day high mile speed hike I will have 8-12 of these bottles.
Another consideration you will have to deal with is water. Depending on your snowshoe cadence you will have to consider when you will have water.Dec 12, 2012 at 11:48 am #1935023

Would you mind posting a recipe for your mix? or just the ingredients? I'm not even sure where i'd buy maltodextrin and electrolytes for a powdered mix.Dec 12, 2012 at 11:56 am #1935025

@bigtimeLocale: Truckee
I've been using the Perpetuem on some trips the last couple years and it definitely seemed to keep my energy levels up a bit. I usually would take a mid morning break about 2 hours after I start hiking and would add 2 scoops to a 32oz bottle of water and then do the same thing mid afternoon. I just drank at the same rate I'd normally drink water. I also ate regular snacks during the day, so the Perpetuem wasn't my only source of calories. This probably isn't the optimal way to use the stuff, but it worked well enough for me.
I tried the solids as well (caffe latte flavor), but I had a lot of trouble getting them down.Dec 12, 2012 at 3:35 pm #1935081

@nickbLocale: Los Padres National Forest
Hammer products seem to work well for lots of folks, for others (like me), not so much. I haven't used their products for hiking/backpacking, but I have trained and competed in endurance events (open ocean long distance paddling) while using their products and found that they didn't agree with my stomach. It got to the point where I preferred to not drink anything rather than continuing to drink my prepared drink mixes. This didn't do my energy levels any favors but my stomach sure felt better.
Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that there are lots of options out there for similar style products from other manufacturers. I recommend you try out one or two, on a very limited basis first to see what works for you and what doesn't. Once you've found something that you think you like and respond well to, you can then try building up your usage of it and relying on it more and more to provide your needed energy for a given activity.
I've found that Succeed products work well for me. I supplement their drink mixes with Carbo-pro powder and/or eletrolyte and sportlegs tablets when needed. I find these mixes to be much lighter on my stomach and much more mild in flavor.
I don't have any affiliation with any of these companies; just wanted to share my experiences as I've been down this road and tried a bunch of different similarly-marketed products.Dec 12, 2012 at 4:17 pm #1935090
Here is a link to the recipe for the electrolyte mix
As far as the maltodextrin I would suggest googling carbogain and picking up a few lbs to start. If you go all in you can order through Honeyville or skid more ( listed onion my journal). for 50 lb bags.
I flavor using crystal light. You can use anything. In a 20 oz. water bottle I put flavoring (1l worth of mix), 1.5g of electrolyte mix and then fill and vibrate getting as much maltodextrin powder in as possible. When I use it I pour the whole bottle in a 32oz gator aid bottle and fill with water. This is triple strength. Normally you would mix about 300 calories in with a liter of water to get the perfect cocktail that hammer talks abouts, osmorarity or something like that.
From this base mix you can also add protein. You will have to play with this. I originally had protein but I had to hold my nose to drink it. I wasn't going to do that for my whole 98 day hike. So I made the recipe above and it tastes like a sweeter version of crystal light so I enjoyed drinking it. I have never faced a situation where I could drink my Malto. That is so different than the snowshoe trip above or other hikes and snowshoe trip at elevation where I couldn't eat anything. I once did a 40+ mile three day snowshoe trip in north Yosemite and could only eat 1300 calories. I had to fix that issue and my apical Malto mix worked for me.
Hope it works out, let me know if you have any questions.Dec 12, 2012 at 4:48 pm #1935099

Thanks for the sources and the link. I look forward to experimenting with this stuff.Dec 31, 2012 at 5:40 pm #1939733
I used Perpetuem on couple of hikes and was happy with the energy it provided. However it is kind of pain remember to keep sipping the water.
Now if I want to make this at home, I understand it takes some Maltodextrin and flavor. However I would like to add some protein and electrolyte. Can I add like Whey protien and Emergen C to the mix. What should be the ideal measure for each pound of Malto.Dec 31, 2012 at 8:20 pm #1939765

the Perpetuem "formula" includes :
soy protein isolates
soy lecithin
plus a bunch of minerals and elctrolytes
the ratio is :
fat 2.5 grams
carbs 54 grams
protein 7 grams
I'm sure you could use whey protein instead of soy protein
the Hammer recovery mix "Recoverite" uses a maltodextrin whey protein mix and it works great.
when I do long runs I take a swig of my perpetuem mix (5 scoops per 20 oz water) every 20 minutes, but I carry the bottle in my hand so its pretty easy to remember.Dec 31, 2012 at 8:24 pm #1939766
Can you please state the proportions in grams/oz/pounds please.Dec 31, 2012 at 8:33 pm #1939767
Art …BPL Member
if your asking me that last question I'm not sure what you mean.
I do not mix my own, I use the real (expensive) perpetuem.

Hey Denters,
Just wanted to share what I'm working on. This is an old set of Styrene gauntlets from RuffkinToy that I'm building up and painting for my buddy in Athens who's getting close to done on his ESB. He's been collecting a lot of really cool parts over the years and I'm very happy to be the one to finally get some of them completed.
The parts are nice for the most part. Some of the cast parts from Ruffkin needed additional sanding and cleanup. The metal components he has are premium though. Some really nice stuff to be going on a lower level gaunt kit!
He ordered the kit trimmed and prepped from Ruffkin, but some of the prep was pretty sorry so I got everything up to par for him. First order of business was to even out the trimmed return edges with the dremel. I then smoothed out the rough trimming with 100 and then 220 grit sandpaper. I also trimmed in a radius under the calc pad for comfort of wear and took the return edge on the fronts down to almost nothing to minimize "armor bite".
The aluminum rocket posed it's own issues. It's a very nice piece but it's so heavy that I was worried it'd rip right through the styrene. To solve this problem I reenforced the area with polyester resin and about four layers of fiberglass cloth. This seems to be holding it very securely.
Onto the paint! I decided to suspend these through the various holes I needed to drill. One from the rocket and the other from the gauntlet darts. The left gaunt has been primed and silvered. I had a drip using the Rusto 2x primer on the other and it will need to be sanded down before it gets its layer of silver. I should have sticked with my regular Automobile Primer from Rusto! The calc pad and dental expander have also been primed and painted. The pad just needs its buttons painted when the silver dries.
Check back for updates later on. Thanks for looking!

Hey there-
I've always found Bee Source to be a great place to find out about equipment, and having just gone and spent a ridiculously large amount of money on the Bee-Z-Smoker, I thought I'd return the favor and post about it, since it doesn't look like anyone's posted anything about it for a couple of years. Full disclosure: I have nothing to disclose. I just saw this in the Mann Lake catalog, after a particularly trying day with a couple stings and a smoker that, like usual, wouldn't stay lit, and I said hey, it's an equipment expense, I can deduct it, and spent (lots!) of money on a whim. I've never even heard of this company before. I don't know who they are, where they're from, or whose garage they're probably working out of.
But look out, because I'm going to gush. I am in loooove, in a middleschool-crush kind of way. This smoker makes me happy. I want to go check on the bees ALL THE TIME now. I want to give it a nickname. I want to tuck it into bed with me next to the teddy bear.
Okay, maybe not. I'd wake up smelling like a forest fire. But this thing WORKS, better than their hokey video would have you believe. I've had bees for nine years, and have never mastered the smoker. I have a dozen hives, in three yards, none at my house. To get a regular smoker to that sweet spot has always taken me about twenty minutes, and since I often have kids waiting in the car while I check the bees, this is _not_ time I usually have to spend. I also have to extinguish it before I throw it back in the minivan, or the car smells for days, and I worry about causing a grass fire on someone else's land. To combat these problems, I've been using those big pellets (I forget what they're called just now) because they work fast, but they don't last long enough and I run out of smoke, and either have to fumble for the matches and pellets (hard in gloves) or, more often, I just do without and end up getting stung. Upside, I get fairly resistant to the stings pretty quick, but it makes me (and the bees) all jangly. I don't get that nice calm quiet beekeeper thing going on - it's more of a "rush as fast as I can and try to get back in the car without too many angry bees to freak out the kids" kind of vibe.
The Bee-Z makes it ALL better. You pull the trigger - like a cordless flashlight trigger - and in about 10 seconds you get a few little wisps of smoke. Then you release the trigger - it's hot enough - and press the fan button. In another ten seconds, you have clouds of thick, cool smoke. Clouds. Lots. Everywhere. Enough for you to hide yourself from predators, even. I haven't run out of fuel, since I haven't worked my bees longer than 20-30 minutes at a time since I got it. To make the smoke go away, you shake the smoker and the smoldering & smoking stops. Maybe a minute later, it can go back in the car. My bees are calm and don't hate me. I'm much happier.
Main one: the other beekeepers will laugh/taunt/ridicule you. At least I think they will. Good thing beekeepers are solitary creatures.
Other cons: It looks homemade, and feels somewhat flimsy. The charger doesn't fit very tightly, and works itself loose. The screw that holds the battery door closed doesn't unscrew; the hole was stripped out when it came. But I could push it out with tweezers from my pocketknife, and it went back in fairly snugly. You only have to remove it once, when you open the box and have to put the battery pack in, and after I put it back in it hasn't worked itself out. The battery pack plastic was cracked when I got it, but that doesn't seem to affect anything.
Things I don't know: how long it will go on a single charge. I haven't taken the time to test it to its limit. It does half an hour fine. Probably it's a function of how long you leave the heating element on, since that's going to be a huge battery drain, where the fan isn't. When I get around to really running a test, I'll reply to this post. I don't know how long (years, I hope?) the battery pack or heating element will last. I don't know how resistant it will be to getting dropped - it feels a tad fragile. I'm not going to test that one, sorry.
Overall, I love this thing. So far. I will post if I change my mind. And those of you who are too cool/authentic/manly/whatever to buy one, great for you. I'm all impressed by your coolness/authenticity/manliness/whatever. But I, and my uncool mom-ness, and my tacky old minivan, are delighted with this smoker. So there.

Long-Lasting Effect of Everolimus in Tuberous Sclerosis »
"BOSTON â" Improvements in seizures documented earlier in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) taking everolimus (Afinitor, Novartis) in the phase 3 EXIST-3 trial have continued during an open-label extension phase of the trial."...
Read the Long-Lasting Effect of Everolimus in Tuberous Sclerosis article »
Neoplastic Diseases
Methotrexate is indicated in the treatment of gestational choriocarcinoma, chorioadenoma destruens and hydatidiform mole.
Methotrexate is used in maintenance therapy in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents.
Methotrexate is used alone or in combination with other anticancer agents in the treatment of breast cancer, epidermoid cancers of the head and neck, advanced mycosis fungoides (cutaneous T cell lymphoma), and lung cancer, particularly squamous cell and small cell types. Methotrexate is also used in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of advanced stage non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.
Methotrexate is indicated in the symptomatic control of severe, recalcitrant, disabling psoriasis that is not adequately responsive to other forms of therapy, but only when the diagnosis has been established, as by biopsy and/or after dermatologic consultation. It is important to ensure that a psoriasis "flare" is not due to an undiagnosed concomitant disease affecting immune responses.
Rheumatoid Arthritis Including Polyarticular-Course Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis
Methotrexate is indicated in the management of selected adults with severe, active, rheumatoid arthritis (ACR criteria), or children with active polyarticular-course juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, who have had an insufficient therapeutic response to, or are intolerant of, an adequate trial of first-line therapy including full dose non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs).
Aspirin, NSAIDs, and/or low dose steroids may be continued, although the possibility of increased toxicity with concomitant use of NSAIDs including salicylates has not been fully explored. (See DRUG INTERACTIONS .) Steroids may be reduced gradually in patients who respond to methotrexate. Combined use of methotrexate with gold, penicillamine, hydroxychloroquine, sulfasalazine, or cytotoxic agents, has not been studied and may increase the incidence of adverse effects. Rest and physiotherapy as indicated should be continued.
Neoplastic Diseases
Oral administration in tablet form is often preferred when low doses are being administered since absorption is rapid and effective serum levels are obtained.
Choriocarcinoma And Similar Trophoblastic Diseases
Methotrexate is administered orally or intramuscularly in doses of 15 to 30 mg daily for a five-day course. Such courses are usually repeated for 3 to 5 times as required, with rest periods of one or more weeks interposed between courses, until any manifesting toxic symptoms subside. The effectiveness of therapy is ordinarily evaluated by 24 hour quantitative analysis of urinary chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which should return to normal or less than 50 IU/24 hr usually after the third or fourth course and usually be followed by a complete resolution of measurable lesions in 4 to 6 weeks. One to two courses of methotrexate after normalization of hCG is usually recommended. Before each course of the drug careful clinical assessment is essential. Cyclic combination therapy of methotrexate with other antitumor drugs has been reported as being useful.
Since hydatidiform mole may precede choriocarcinoma, prophylactic chemotherapy with methotrexate has been recommended.
Chorioadenoma destruens is considered to be an invasive form of hydatidiform mole. Methotrexate is administered in these disease states in doses similar to those recommended for choriocarcinoma.
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia in pediatric patients and young adolescents is the most responsive to present day chemotherapy. In young adults and older patients, clinical remission is more difficult to obtain and early relapse is more common.
Methotrexate alone or in combination with steroids was used initially for induction of remission in acute lymphoblastic leukemias. More recently corticosteroid therapy, in combination with other antileukemic drugs or in cyclic combinations with methotrexate included, has appeared to produce rapid and effective remissions. When used for induction, methotrexate in doses of 3.3 mg/m² in combination with 60 mg/m² of prednisone, given daily, produced remissions in 50% of patients treated, usually within a period of 4 to 6 weeks. Methotrexate in combination with other agents appears to be the drug of choice for securing maintenance of drug-induced remissions. When remission is achieved and supportive care has produced general clinical improvement, maintenance therapy is initiated, as follows: Methotrexate is administered 2 times weekly either by mouth or intramuscularly in total weekly doses of 30 mg/m². It has also been given in doses of 2.5 mg/kg intravenously every 14 days. If and when relapse does occur, reinduction of remission can again usually be obtained by repeating the initial induction regimen.
A variety of combination chemotherapy regimens have been used for both induction and maintenance therapy in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The physician should be familiar with the new advances in antileukemic therapy.
In Burkitt's tumor, Stages I to II, methotrexate has produced prolonged remissions in some cases. Recommended dosage is 10 to 25 mg/day orally for 4 to 8 days. In Stage III, methotrexate is commonly given concomitantly with other antitumor agents. Treatment in all stages usually consists of several courses of the drug interposed with 7 to 10 day rest periods. Lymphosarcomas in Stage III may respond to combined drug therapy with methotrexate given in doses of 0.625 to 2.5 mg/kg daily.
Mycosis Fungoides (cutaneous T cell lymphoma)
Therapy with methotrexate as a single agent appears to produce clinical responses in up to 50% of patients treated. Dosage in early stages is usually 5 to 50 mg once weekly. Dose reduction or cessation is guided by patient response and hematologic monitoring. Methotrexate has also been administered twice weekly in doses ranging from 15 to 37.5 mg in patients who have responded poorly to weekly therapy.
Psoriasis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, And Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis
Adult Rheumatoid Arthritis
Recommended Starting Dosage Schedules
- Single oral doses of 7.5 mg once weekly.
- Divided oral dosages of 2.5 mg at 12 hour intervals for 3 doses given as a course once weekly.
Polyarticular-Course Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis
The recommended starting dose is 10 mg/m² given once weekly.
For either adult RA or polyarticular-course JRA dosages may be adjusted gradually to achieve an optimal response. Limited experience shows a significant increase in the incidence and severity of serious toxic reactions, especially bone marrow suppression, at doses greater than 20 mg/wk in adults. Although there is experience with doses up to 30 mg/m²/wk in children, there are too few published data to assess how doses over 20 mg/m²/wk might affect the risk of serious toxicity in children. Experience does suggest, however, that children receiving 20 to 30 mg/m²/wk (0.65 to 1.0 mg/kg/wk) may have better absorption and fewer gastrointestinal side effects if methotrexate is administered either intramuscularly or subcutaneously.
Therapeutic response usually begins within 3 to 6 weeks and the patient may continue to improve for another 12 weeks or more.
The optimal duration of therapy is unknown. Limited data available from long-term studies in adults indicate that the initial clinical improvement is maintained for at least two years with continued therapy. When methotrexate is discontinued, the arthritis usually worsens within 3 to 6 weeks.
The patient should be fully informed of the risks involved and should be under constant supervision of the physician. (See PATIENT INFORMATION under PRECAUTIONS.) Assessment of hematologic, hepatic, renal, and pulmonary function should be made by history, physical examination, and laboratory tests before beginning, periodically during, and before reinstituting methotrexate therapy. (See PRECAUTIONS.) Appropriate steps should be taken to avoid conception during methotrexate therapy. (See PRECAUTIONS and CONTRAINDICATIONS.)
All schedules should be continually tailored to the individual patient. An initial test dose may be given prior to the regular dosing schedule to detect any extreme sensitivity to adverse effects. (See ADVERSE REACTIONS.) Maximal myelosuppression usually occurs in seven to ten days.
Psoriasis: Recommended Starting Dose Schedules
- Weekly single oral, IM or IV dose schedule: 10 to 25 mg per week until adequate response is achieved.
- Divided oral dose schedule: 2.5 mg at 12-hour intervals for three doses.
Dosages in each schedule may be gradually adjusted to achieve optimal clinical response; 30 mg/week should not ordinarily be exceeded.
Once optimal clinical response has been achieved, each dosage schedule should be reduced to the lowest possible amount of drug and to the longest possible rest period. The use of methotrexate may permit the return to conventional topical therapy, which should be encouraged.
Handling And Disposal
Procedures for proper handling and disposal of anticancer drugs should be considered. Several guidelines on this subject have been published.1-5 There is no general agreement that all of the procedures recommended in the guidelines are necessary or appropriate.

text: Hi, My dad has an 02 avalanche and wants to replace the torsion bars. The driverside is sagging. He cranked that side up but it is still low. After I made all the obvious comments about his weight, I told him that I would help him find a set. Does anyone know who sells aftermarket torsion bars? I had a set on my 95 silverado but can not figure out what brand they were. He is a GM employee so he can buy oem from the parts warehouse at or below dealer cost. But, if we can find some aftermarket at a good price then we will go with those. Thanks

text: Since I am new to bee keeping. I have not experinced the problems that I hear of. I under stand that winter moisture buildup is a large problem on THBs. I have 2 traps out and waiting. Mean wile I am working on 2 hives if I should need them. The hives are completed all except the roofs. I am trying to solve problems before I experiance them. Has anybody ever tried building a double thickness roof. The roof would be built to have one thin layer of wood about 2 inches above the bars. I think this should be between1/8 and1/4 thick and be flat to allow the moisture to be absorbed. Then the upper roof would be sloped to allow for drainage (rain/snow). There would be an air space between these two roofs. This air space could be vented on both ends to allow the air to circulate in the cavaity thus allowing the moisture that is absorbed into bottom side the thin roof to evaperate out the opposite side. This will keep a draft free enviorment for the bees and rid the hive of excess moisture. One bar may have to be modified to allow moisture to rise above the bars. If this makes sense give me your feed back and if you think I am not crazy I may try one. This could keep hive cooler in the summer also.

It's a step in the right direction.
It's a step in the right direction.
Oh kay. I can see this thread going off the tracks. I for one don't see this as the right direction. I will be at a march against Monsanto Sat. the 12. As ZZ Top said it's nation wide. It will not be televised. Catch it on face book or twitter or google it. Monsanto is developing a GM bee that will be patented.(SP) What could possibly go wrong??
Im really not that serious
Personally, I won't trust Monsanto for the amount of time it takes to say their name. I'm sure Jerry's heart is in the right place, working for change on the inside, but that doesn't change the company's vision.
GMO crops will end up killing us all.
Honey Badger Don't Care ಠ_ಠ ~=[,,_,,]:3
Haven't read that in a long time.
Im really not that serious
Hmmmm, first thing on their agenda is to research bee nutrition. Coming from a chemical company.
And third on the list is "3) understanding science-based approaches to studying pesticide impacts on honey bees and increasing awareness of pesticide best management practices among growers and beekeepers;"
Understanding the science based approaches - really. I would think they could assemble a group of first year graduate students in zoology or just basic biology, or even just sadistic/statistics to give them a general idea of the way to look at these. If they really want to generate understanding of impacts of pesticides impacts on honey bees, pass the money to universities with good entomology programs and make sure there are no ties between the money and results.
AND IMO increasing the awareness of pesticide best management practices among growers and beekeepers is not going to happen. Too many folks just don't give a rat's rear about the impacts as long as it kills what they want dead. It is like roundup that Monsanto makes - a little dab will work best and double the concentration and it might work ok, but triple the concentration and you top kill the plant, but the roots push up a new plant soon.
People just don't care IMO

Regarding South Korea, I just found the current Diana-phenomenon is amusing. It's on par with the idiotic reality-show mentality in the U.S.
Chan, yeah, I do hate him, a talentless cheater.
wow ... there is chan bashing even on the ladies thread. i think i need to visit a patrick chan fan site to balance all this out!! back to ladies skating please ...
Where did the Diana Kim come from?
Mao was better technically when she was younger. However, in terms of overall polish and sophistication in her skating, she is better now. The problem is that her programs don't showcase this well. However, her exhibitions do. I will consider Mao at 16-17 as her best period so far where the technical and the artistic aspects of her skating came together very well.

I totally understand people's longing for her programs from 2006-07 season. They were that good. I agree with Jackie Wong's point in that article. Confidence is Mao's biggest strength right now. If that Swan Lake or I've Got Rhythm program was to be skated by others, they wouldn't have come alive so beautifully. This season, it just shows that she is fully confident of herself, selling those programs. You know, IMO it's all about mojo. Carolina has hers after winning the first world title--look at her recent interviews and performances-- increasing her chance of doing better than great in Sochi, Mao has hers by getting back 3A and her ultimate goal of becoming OGM sure adds something to that. But when it comes to Yuna, it's a bit of an enigma. She wants to compete almost solely for the future of Korea's figure skating and partially not to have regrets. Would it be enough for her to get fully motivated when you have already achieved everything in your career? Fierce competitors like Plushy and Katarina could do that but Yuna doesn't seem like a person who is all about winning. Could this turn around if she starts winning in big competitions, rediscovering that fire she had?

Working people around the world are united by the dignity of work. They are also facing many of the same issues. They're struggling with massive levels of unemployment and an unrelenting global push to lower wages and living standards.
By joining together in a global network, workers have built the strength to advance workers' rights and improve their ability to organize and collectively bargain in the global economy. In partnering with working people around the world, the AFL-CIO addresses labor law reform, files international claims for failure to respect labor provisions of trade and preference agreements and negotiates stronger labor language in trade agreements.
Currently, we are working to improve the labor laws in Colombia, Panama, Vietnam, Malaysia, Georgia, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. We recently filed a complaint against Guatemala under the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) and may file similar cases against Honduras, Costa Rica and Peru. We also are coordinating a global trade union coalition to urge the adoption of stronger labor language in new trade agreements, such as the Trans Pacific Free Trade Agreement.

Women workers speak out on trade in Central America.
On Saturday, 20 activists were arrested during a protest outside Recreational Equipment Inc. (REI) in Rockville, Maryland. Students and community leaders came together to demand REI stop stocking The North Face, whose parent company VF Corp. has been linked to serious ongoing labor violations in Bangladesh, including a deadly factory fire in 2010 that claimed at least 20 lives. Despite repeated incidents and issues, VF Corp. has refused to sign the Bangladesh Accord on Fire Safety (the Accord).

Town Square
Measure F vote today: setting park and recreation appropriations
Original post made by [removed], Alamo, on Jun 7, 2011
REF: Web Link
Documents confirming exceptional rates for CCC-PW services have been circulating in Alamo (R-7A and Z-36) neighborhoods today that have caused neighborhood reps to encourage a NO vote on Measure F at the polls today. Most Alamo residents vote by mail and it should be understood that most votes have already been cast. Once again, for voters that are still considering Measure F approval, the value of a YES vote is the full use of parcel taxes that can be directed by a majority of residents demanding a voice in planning and operations of parks, recreation and beautification projects including seeking services other than CCC-PW to provide such results.
For those many residents that wish to voice their issues with costs of CCC-PW services to R-7A and Z-36, Contra Costa County Municipal Advisory Council for Alamo ("Alamo MAC") is meeting today, June 7, at 6PM at the Cottage in Hap Magee Ranch Park. Your 3 minute presentation can summarize the discovery of CCC-PW exceptional rates and costs as distributed yesterday in county documentation. Your submission of documentation can be directly provided to Ms. Karen Basting, Chief of Staff for Supervisor Piepho. You should also consider presenting to Alamo Improvement Association Board meeting, June 9, at 7PM at the Creekside Church. AIA offers interactive discussion and strong independent voice with highest levels of county government and the state departments and legislative committees that oversee county fiscal operations.

Dear Editor,
With less than a quarter of the eligible votes counted, Measure F appears to be headed for majority approval. Such a result invites the next step for Alamo residents to provide their approval of current efforts and/or the future efforts they wish to see for parks and recreation programs in Alamo.
Let's suggest that Alamo region residents provide a self-survey of their desires reported as protecting open space and ridgeline, developing more school-based recreation and exercise facilities, native planting along walkways and pathways on our major roads including covered drainage, and any and all support for the current formal parks and programs. Treat such a survey as if it were a Streetwise question and invite Alamo region residents to define their preferences. Individual residents might consider forwarding their guidance to the AIA community affairs committee via www.alamoca.org and to CCC-MAC Alamo members via www.alamore.org.
There will be more than $1 million dollars to spend now and then next year. Isn't it time for a majority of Alamo region residents to provide guidance to how it is spent. If neighborhoods or groups in the Alamo region want to discuss what is possible, resident participants should invite the AIA community affairs committee and CCC-MAC Alamo members to informal discussions. No matter what, $1 million is now ready to be spent and it should be more than CCC-PW that decides such uses of our parcel taxes.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Who will medal? Multiple choice allowed.
my money's on Brezina.
Viktor Pfeifer is still skating?
ETA: Oh man and Van Der Perren??
I definitely think Brezina is going to win. Then I voted for Treitikov because he won silver last year and then Machida because he has done well at 4CC and Japanese nationals. Van Der Perrin is certainly a possibility and I almost voted for him. Then Mahbanoozadeh has a good FS.
He's only 23!
Well, this was a rather surprising result. Nobody guessed all 3 medalists, but lanebalou, Visaliakid, and vmfan89 guessed 2 out of the 3, so good going to them!
Well he skates like he's 43

text: I am located in wny and was wondering if any NY commercial guys that take their hives south for the winter, might have knowledge of extra wintering yards or have a lead for a possible location to take approx 50 -75 hives for the winter. I have a truck, trailer and skid steer can transport my own, just need a location or maybe some contact information, or just some information on how to go about obtaining a yard/ permission to winter 10-15 pallets of bees. any info is helpfull.


text: I haven't seen Homeland and am looking forward to checking it out, but did enjoy Season 1 of Game of Thrones as well as Pillars of the Earth Series last fall - I don't know how well known the latter is outside of Canada? This past year I've also watched Rome, I Claudius, and The Borgias. Downton Abbey is my favourite of all of these because of its attention to detail and slow pace. I enjoyed it almost as Poldark, which is perhaps my favourite Masterpiece Theater series of all time. Its the attention to detail that makes the difference. HBO had it in Rome, whereas Pillars of the Earth seemed rushed. I haven't yet made up my mind about The Borgias and Game of Thrones, both of which I'm enjoying. It's hard to pronounce an evaluation of a series before it is finished. I think Fellows may be challenged to bring Downton to a graceful close, but will say no more at the moment to avoid spoilers.

When we first arrived at the Arizona Opry as part of a tour to several other places, I expected this would be an evening of honky tonk western songs, not my favorite music genre. What a pleasant surprise when I found a very professional group performing a wide variety of music on a wide variety of instruments. They must have over 100 different instruments on the stage. This happened to be their Christmas show so many numbers were Christmas oriented, but they didn't limit their program to holiday selections. The audience can sign up for the show only, but only a very small percentage did that. Most elected to sign up for the full meal served at long picnic style tables before the show. They switch their meals every other performance to encourage their audience to return, not only for a different meal but a different variety show as well. I counted ten different shows offered to attract those with different tastes in music. Arizona Opry is located at Apache Junction, east of Phoenix.

Prineville Chamber moving to new location
PRINEVILLE, ore. - The Prineville Chamber of Commerce exists to support local business as well as attract new business and promote tourism, and now they will be able to do so from a more visible location at 785 NW 3rd Street.
Earlier this year mold was discovered in the facility that has housed the Chamber of Commerce since 2010. This discovery presents health and safety concerns for staff and visitors to the site, so the Board of Directors has opted to move the Chamber.
The air quality in the current offices is compromised. The roof again suffered several leaks in the last rain, causing several computers to be lost, as well as a quantity of printed material to be ruined.
The Board is therefore looking for a better location for offices that are both healthy for its employees and its visitors, as well as more visible to those wishing to find the Chamber's location.
The new offices formally home to Prineville Real Estate, are conveniently located on 3rd Street in Prineville.
"It is essential that we, as a Chamber Board of Directors, provide a safe and healthy location for our employees and visitors. Unfortunately, ongoing air quality and mold issues at the existing building compromise our ability to do so. The Board of Directors have secured a new location at 785 NW 3rd Street." says Chamber Board President Ed Yoder, "Our new location not only provides us with safe working conditions, it also allows for greater visibility and accessibility to the community and visitors. We look forward to a healthy and effective New Year!"
The move will be complete by the end of the year and The Chamber staff and leadership look forward to welcoming you and your business to the new facility.

Baseball bat beating leaves victim in serious condition
CARTERET COUNTY - The suspect in a brutal baseball bat beating remains in jail in Carteret County.
Kevin Wells, 24, used a baseball bat to beat Shawn Dixon at Zingo's Express gas station Saturday afternoon, according to a Carteret County Sheriff's Office spokesperson.
Zingo's is on the 2500 block of Highway 101, outside Beaufort.
The beating was the culmination of an argument; the victim and suspect know each other, the spokesperson said.
Dixon suffered severe head injuries and was airlifted to a Greenville hospital.
A hospital official says Dixon was in serious condition Sunday night.
Wells is charged with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury; he's due in court on Tuesday.

I've explained my support for Joss and support against Grimes before. What I want to know is why Billy Pierce is so far behind Tiant, who may very well be elected this season. Tiant had 7 votes for 51 points last time and Pierce had nothing. Compare the two and you will see (I hope) there is little statistical difference. I don't get it. Kind of the same way I don't get why Red Faber made it in while Eppa Rixey is struggling.
In fact, I just looked up Tiant's Hall of Merit page for the first time. The very first reply is "He looks a LOT like Billy Pierce. Was he leveraged like Pierce?"
Tiant will be elected without my help it seems, but he is very close on my pitcher's queue (behind Pierce). The only remarkable stat he has over the field of holdovers is a pitching WAR of 60.1 (batting WAR is -0.7). I'm having trouble figuring out where the extra (guestimate) 8-10 points comes from. Could be the ballpark... except his ERA+ is only 115. Could be the pitching age... except he pitched through the silver age of pitching, where all kinds of starting pitchers were having great years. Could be team defense... but nothing jumps out to me from those Cleveland teams of the 60s and Boston teams of the 70s as being bad. He didn't pitch particularly long for a HOF career either (77th in career BF). He's got a Gray Ink of 112 (179th all time). Yet there he is with an eqERA under 3.90 and a WAR approaching Palmer and Marichal.
I don't mean to come across as saying I do not support Tiant -- I do, or at least would be soon as a few more players are elected from my ballot. I'm showing why he's behind Joss in my queue. As well as the likes of Faber, Rixey, Ruffing, and Lemon.

Depakote Sprinkle Capsules
Zarontin Gets High Marks for Kids' Epilepsy »
"March 4, 2010 -- One of the oldest drugs used to treat the most common form of pediatric epilepsy is also the most effective, a study shows.
As many as 17% of children with epilepsy have absence seizures, also known as petit mal seizure"...

Depakote Sprinkle Capsules
Overdosage with valproate may result in somnolence, heart block, deep coma, and hypernatremia. Fatalities have been reported; however patients have recovered from valproate levels as high as 2,120 mcg/mL.
In overdose situations, the fraction of drug not bound to protein is high and hemodialysis or tandem hemodialysis plus hemoperfusion may result in significant removal of drug. The benefit of gastric lavage or emesis will vary with the time since ingestion. General supportive measures should be applied with particular attention to the maintenance of adequate urinary output.
Naloxone has been reported to reverse the CNS depressant effects of valproate over dosage. Because naloxone could theoretically also reverse the antiepileptic effects of valproate, it should be used with caution in patients with epilepsy.
- Depakote Sprinkle Capsules should not be administered to patients with hepatic disease or significant hepatic dysfunction [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
- Depakote Sprinkle Capsules is contraindicated in patients known to have mitochondrial disorders caused by mutations in mitochondrial DNA polymerase γ (POLG; e.g., Alpers-Huttenlocher Syndrome) and children under two years of age who are suspected of having a POLG-related disorder [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].

Fred Herzog. Street Photography
26 Jan 2013 - 28 Apr 2013
The Glenbow Museum, Calgary
Since the 1950s, Fred Herzog has photographed the street life of Vancouver and other cities, often shooting hundreds of rolls of film a year. He would wander the streets looking for the unexpected events that define city life. For the most part, he did not pose people but photographed his subjects unaware, seeking out unusual scenes and spontaneous gestures. At a time when "serious" photographers used only black and-white film, Herzog used Kodachrome slide film to capture his subject matter in full colour.
Fred Herzog, Street Photographyincludes 28 photographs. By using recent technologies, Herzog has captured not only the original Kodachrome "glow" of his original imagery, but a genuine sense of the times.

text: Practical testing. It is a topic that occasionally comes up when discussing exam preparation. For the most part, people express the opinion that practical testing is the way to go. There is a belief that a multiple choice test cannot possibly measure all aspects of personal training and that all personal trainer exams should have a practical section where candidates can really show what they know. While this all sounds good in theory, there's much more to consider. For those not familiar with the concept of practical testing, it is a hands on/in person portion of a certification exam. This hands on/in person portion requires you (the candidate) to perform fitness related tasks – such as taking blood pressure, conducting a cardio fitness test, assessing body composition – under the observation of an examiner. The examiner observes your performance and provides a score reflective of your ability. But is it possible to evaluate individuals in a consistent, objective manner when it's a person doing the judging? Practical examiners are instructed to be objective and impersonal…but that can be more difficult than you think since it's still a person doing the evaluation, and many different people at that. Maybe you may come into the testing room with your hands shaking and voice wavering, and the examiner decides that you need just a little extra encouragement on something you do kind of incorrectly giving you an advantage. Maybe you come in to take a practical and you remind the examiner of their ex-husband. Or you swagger into the testing room like that know-it-all kid they hated in high school. In practical testing the goal of the examiner is objectivity, but there is no guarantee it happens especially when going from one person to the next. In addition, there are standards for how to conduct certain practical elements – such as how to take skinfolds, or how to apply a blood pressure cuff. However, my range of acceptable technique may differ from another examiner's range of acceptable technique. I may be okay with 'close enough' while another examiner will only approve a skill that exactly matches the standard. In that type of situation, your pass or failure could depend on one person's interpretation of the rules. The NCCA accreditation process (which has certified all ACE exams) requires that the examination process be fair and unbiased (see FAQ for more details). A practical testing component cannot measure up to this requirement. This is one of the primary reasons that none of the NCCA accredited certifications contain a practical testing component – this includes certification exams from ACSM, NSCA, NETA, and NASM. A secondary reason practical testing is not conducted has to do with the logistics involved. If any of the NCCA accredited certification organizations conducted practical testing, all exams would move to a live paper and pencil format – there would no longer be an option to do computer based testing. The cost for the certification exam would also skyrocket. Instead of $250 to sit for the ACE certification exam, you would be seeing pricing of $800+ to take a certification exam with a practical component. While the desire for practical testing is understandable, how it can be done effectively is very different. Many years ago I sat for an ACSM exam that included practical testing – yes, before the NCCA accreditation became standard. The practical portion of that exam was challenging, the equipment different than the equipment I used in my daily practice, and I was extremely nervous about 'performing' in front of strangers who could determine my success. While I passed my practical (barely), I failed my multiple choice because even though I had been a practicing fitness professional for several years, I had forgotten a lot of the 'whys' I learned in school. And that book knowledge is just as important as being able to perform skills. ACE has always understood the need to test the ability to apply the knowledge you've acquired. This is why the ACE certification exam's multiple-choice questions are designed to test your ability to apply knowledge to determine the most appropriate course of action in a variety of personal training scenarios.

Not much has changed from the original post but rivers and other signings have put a different look on some picks.
Round 1 Harrison Smith S Notre Dame - I am not to excited about Horton or Brown. I do like Sash! Still, we are one injury away - to Phillips or Rolle - from being in deep caca at the Safety spot. Harrison nailed the combine and is the # 2 Safety behind Barron ( who I'd rather have ). Safety depth in the draft is shallow!
Round 2 Chandler Jones DE Syracuse Osi's replacement next year if not this year.
Round 3 Robert Turbin RB Utah State saw him vs Auburn first game last college season. He ran over, through, around and away from Auburn defenders all day. Bradshaw has hip marrow injected into his ever injured foot. Jacobs is gone, Brown is suspended and Scott has his limitations and question marks - we need a guy like Turbin.
4A Mike Martin DT Michigan I would think Joseph, Canty, Austin and Martin would make a nice rotation.Martin is a bad a.
4B Phillip Baker C Baylor Solid Center for future. Bass plays hard, gets hurt. Booth has his faults at the center spot and should compete at LG I like this center.
Round 6 Jordan White WR Western Michigan Pro ready route running wise great hands good size and fast enough. More productive at Western than Greg Jennings. We have Jernigan planned for the slot. If he fails Cruz could be an option there. But I see Jernigan panning out. We need a WR to spell Nicks when he goes down or if Cruz gets hurt or goes to the slot.
Round 7 Brad Smelley TE Alabama Ballard type maybe even better receiver. Bennett, Pascoe then Hopkins or Smelley maybe Ballard if he heals I think Beckum is history.

Hi folks,
Tried to do a search for info, but no results. I am looking for info, books, etc on candle making from beeswax. I do gleen from your posts, but mostly seem for an advanced candlemaker.
Where would someone start out? I have plenty of wax, but where from here? Tea cups, votives? Is that a good place to start?
Also companies you purchase molds, etc, from?
Thank you for your time and patience.


text: When preparing for your ACE certification exam, you'll read in your manual about the importance of establishing rapport with your class participants/ clients. The rapport stage is the foundation for the entire relationship between you and your client. Rapport means a relationship of mutual trust. For the helping relationship to be successful (meaning the relationship between you and your client) professionals need to communicate the attributes of empathy, warmth and genuineness. In general, you've got to be a nice, likeable, understanding type of person. Bonding with your clients can help increase their motivation and adherence. It can make your training sessions flow easier due to increased communication. Knowing more about your client can help with developing their exercise program, and troubleshooting when progress stalls. Being on good terms with your client can also make work easier for you! Such great things…what could be wrong with making friends with your clients? Well, it depends on who you ask. The ACE Code of Ethics (Appendix A in all of the manuals) states that it is imperative that professional distance is maintained in relationships between instructor/trainer and participant/client. Fitness professionals are responsible for setting and monitoring the boundaries between a working relationship and friendship with their clients/participants. The manual goes on to list cautions for the fitness professional with regards to touching – appropriate versus inappropriate, social or personal contacts with clients and the impact on the professional relationship, and steps to take if a relationship has crossed professional boundaries. Now there will always be discussion about what is and what isn't considered appropriate consideration of boundaries. For every trainer who says a relationship should be strictly business you'll hear of another trainer who keeps clients not necessarily because of his success rate but rather this personality and the relationships he develops. The key word to keep in mind is 'professional'. So how does this apply to your exam preparation? During the exam you may come across questions which address this issue and its related professional issue of referral. The question may bring up a client who constantly wants to talk about her pending divorce while you are conducting the training session. Do you emphasize with the client? Change the subject? Recommend she speak with an attorney? Gossip about her dog of a spouse and what you saw at the juice bar last week? Again, keep in mind the 'professional' aspect of your position when you reply. As you are reading through your manual, take the time to understand the leadership and implementation chapters listed below: ACE Group Fitness Instructor 3rd edition manual: Chapter 5 and Appendix A ACE 5th edition Personal Trainer manual: Chapter 2 – 4 and Appendix A Establishing a good relationship with your participant/client can help both you and them. However, maintaining professional boundaries is a key aspect of growing and operating as a professional.
