What was your Favorite V2 Cigs Moment?
V2 Cigs holds a weekly Facebook Mondays Contest with fun tasks for V2 fans and a $50 account credit going to the best entry. We like to mix it up on Mondays, and this week we asked fans to post their favorite V2 Moment on the Facebook Wall. The entries were so good, we had to share them in our blog! We ranked the top 5 entries by the number of likes. Congrats to Ann Pitingolo for winning the $50 account credit!
1. My favorite V2 moment happened today. I brought in the mail and found an envelope that contained a completion certificate from the Tobacco Quit Line. I was proudly showing it off to my family when my son suddenly said "does this mean you're certifiable?!". Of course that comment was followed by hysterical laughter from the rest of us! Thank you V2 for making me "certifiable"!! LOL!
-Ann Pitingolo
2. My favorite moment was the look on my kids and wifes face after i opened the kit tried it and told them i was done with regular cigarettes faces glowed with joy been over a month not looking back
-Chris Mills
3. My best V2 moment was the realization that I am no longer hooked on analog cigarettes with all of the toxins they deliver. Not to mention the smile I get when I am inside smoking and other are out in the pouring down rain huddled under an umbrella to get their fix. I have been smoke free for almost 4 months and food tastes and smells fantastic.
-Cara McGowen
4. I was on a flight from Dallas to Boston and was smoking my V2. Someone saw the vapor and the red light and thought it was tobacco. The flight attendant proceeded to threaten me with a fine. I politely explained what V2 was. She then apologized to me for her knee jerk reaction and I was applauded by many of the other passengers. I then passed out my discount cards and encouraged them to give it a try! 🙂
-Mark Kaplan
5. I was puffing on my v2 when the ump of my husband's softball game stopped the whole game to tell me I couldn't smoke in the park if he couldn't, I rolled my v2 around so he could see the button, he looked real hard and said never mind.
-Lacey Hulett
The biggest and best story I have to share is..The relief my sons and husband feel, knowing that I'm not putting the harsh chemicals into my body..they no longer have to worry about my health, due to smoking! This is my biggest reward for switching to v2 CIGS!! Smoke Free: 5 Months 🙂
-Dawn Fisher
My best v2 moment was getting offered a Sales job after I sold the hiring Manager (who was a smoker) on it during the interview… Gave him a card… i even got to skip the sale evaluation test that he was supposed to give me. As soon as he pulled out a pack of smopke from his pocket looking for a pen, I asked "how long have you been smoking for?" the rest just fell into place… He is now a Happy vapor 3 months without a analog…
-Rigo Tirado
My best v2CIGS moment to date is being able to say that I have not had a "Smoke" in 102 days thanks to v2CIGS. Now when the urge hits me I "Vape"! Thanks v2GIGS!
-Debbie Shanahan
Well I've only just gotten my v2. But the second I popped in my USB Notebook-cig I took a big drag and in my best Caterpiller voice said "whooooo are youuuuu?" and blew a few smoke rings for good measure! 🙂
-Sandy Flores
One of my (many) Favourite V2 moments was being thrown out of a pub by two doormen after being accused of smoking inside. Halfway down the street, one of the doormen comes running up, asking for me to return. I cautiously re-enter the pub, turns out a man took a chance with the landlord saying I was vaping (lucky I was!) and I was asked to explain myself. An apology and a free pint later… Let's just say there are a few more UK V2 smokers from that day onwards.
-Scott Morgan
My favorite V2 situation actually happened while I was walking around the state fair. Haha the vapor produced when exhaling really does look thick and genuine…so as I was puffing and walking around the vapor would get in front of peoples faces…but there is no smell to the vapor so I was laughing my butt off watching people cringe as the "smoke" past by and then look extremely confused seconds later.
-Daniel McElhiney
Didn't see that this was theV2 Monday Post… My favorite moment was entertaining at a festival…took my breaks, walked around vaping where others had to go outside the fences to smoke while watching me stroll through the booths and walkways vaping as others watched me from beyond the fence line boundaries! lol Hadn't had a cold in over a year & I can't remember getting hoarse from the entertaining I do at festivals/jamboree singings & ect. 🙂 Love this "Life Changing Device" and yes I did write a song about using an e-cig but gots to change some words since I am part of the V2 Experience now! Rock on! (lol gosh I sound like a young'en but am young at heart) ♥
-Mrs. Dawn Foster
My favorite V2 moments… A toss-up – it was either May when I realized I hadn't smoked in three months and didn't even know it or this morning when I was walking my dog for the first time and he had to lay down on the way back to rest. And I'm not even kidding. 6 months ago I wouldn't have been able to do the walk at all, this morning I tired out the dog..
-Tracy Reinhardt
My favorite v2 moment was the moment it came in the mail.
-Josh Hess
My favorite V2 moment happened at my family reunion this past week end when I went outside a Marina restaurant we were eating at to vape and a bunch of complete strangers asked how long I had been vaping and when I told them over 100 days they all stood up on the bench and gave me a standing ovation!
-Barb Miller
What a great way to add time I can spent with my grandson. I no longer have to go outside and stop what ever we're doing so I can smoke. A BIG plus is when I am around him, He's not getting second hand smoke, and smelling like an ashtray. PLUS I can almost keep up with him now.
-Rusty Casteele
My husband and I were at a Wedding recently. I went outside with him to 'smoke', he pulls out his cigs and a lighter, I pull out my V2, pull in and blow out vapor…there's a conversation starter! Get my nicotine fix faster than you can light a cigarette! Then I switched e-cigs and enjoyed the vaping on a zero strength filter while my hubby finished his tobacco. People are just amazed! Handed out some v2 cards that day! So far I have put in a full order of free filters because of referrals, and had a partially free subsequent order. Very nice!
-Beth Johnson
My favorite V2 moment was when I received it in the mail…the day before my 4th anniversary. I quit smoking at 6:30pm. The next day my boyfriend and I were going to a nice dinner. After dinner I sobbed a bit because I wanted a cigarette SO BAD. He told me to just stick with it and he was proud. Here I am…almost a year later, still smoke free. V2 saved me…and that whole experience just gives me a chuckle when I think about it!
-Jen Mencer
My favorite V2 moment was when I first started using V2 and my son turns to me and goes "Mommy, are those the new electronic cigarettes you told us you were getting?" I told him yes and then he tells me "Mommy, thats great because now your going to live longer and your lungs won't be black anymore".
-Shannon Grant
My favorite V2 cigs moment was when I saw a lot of people going out of the restraunt to smoke there cigarettes in the rain, I remained inside with my V2 smiling
-Jordan Brown
We went non-smoking at my job in Aug. and I was prepared with my V2 and all the other people who were flipping out kept hunting me down begging to barrow mine. lol 🙂
-Crystal Chapman
My favorite moments were when my doorbell rang & I opened it to discover that my v2 ultimate starter kit had arrived. I immediately opened it & plugged in my power cig & took a drag. AWESOME!!!!! I will never use anything else!
-Linda Rager-Ewald
My favorite moment so far was when our second daughter was born two weeks ago (8/8/11). I started smoking V2's a month ago and was able to be with mom and our new daughter through the whole labor and delivery. As terrible as it is when our first daughter was born three years ago I would occasionally slip out of the hospital room to sneak a smoke. Thank you V2 from myself, my fiance, and our 2 beautiful daughters!
-Shawn Gallo
I loved going to Red Lobster of all places and getting to vape while in the company of my family and children. I always get a few funny looks but I tell the waiter what it is and no problems. Waiting on a table is always the best because I get to pull out my box and explain to the people around me what I'm doing and have even got a few converts and very interested people! Smoke free for two months now and loving my V2! Thanks again!
-Zan Holmes Smith
My favorite V2 moment was being introduced to someone simply because I was vaping. Our mutual acquaintance said that I had to meet this person to explain to them what my V2 was. She then proceeded to order one for her father and her sister… 🙂 Love my V2, smoke free for 9 weeks after 35 years… 🙂
-Linda Hawkins Moore
My favorite v2 moment.. I've only had mine for a few weeks and to have my daughter come into the house and say "Thanks for not smoking in the house, Mom" because we don't want 2nd hand smoke around the kids. I love the thought of my house smelling that much better in such a short time!
-Laurie Dean Wysocki
Personally, I have many favorite v2 moments, but the one nearest and dearest to my heart…is when my 15yr old son and I realized at the same moment we could see clearly from the livingroom to the kitchen as the smoke cloud haze was gone…we never realized how much pollution my smoking was causing until I started v2…So many pluses for me…my children don't have to be around smoke, I don't have to freeze my butt off to smoke…and I enjoy vaping flavors better than the gross ashtray smelling cigerettes! Thank you V2 you have changed our lives and our air!
-Tana Perkins
My favorite V2 moment was the instant I opened my starter kit. After anxiously awaiting delivery,it was LOVE at first vape. I haven't smoked a single cig since. I feel better, I smell better and I couldn't be happier!!! ♥

How does a DIY'er beat Ferrari?
It's been done:
Check out "John's new project" for a Morris Minor that beat all the Ferrari's on it's first race outing!!!
Back to hifi: Maybe Linn is not in the same league as Krell, Levinson etc, but I am much happier with my home made hifi system than I was with an expensive Linn active system.
I have seen the schematic for a KSA100 posted on this forum some time in the past - it's not rocket science. However I suspect that getting a clone to sound the same (if that's what you want!) would be very difficult - because as most on this site know, everythng makes a difference to the sound (unless you're Doug Self).

The British are VERY into DIY; this has got to be
the ultimate:
I'm challenged enough just coming up with chassis
and heatsink designs.

With sad resignation, for I too think as you do, I have come to the very same conclusion.
I've tried cascodes, Lender configurations, Rush cascodes, CFP VASs and diff pairs, complementary VASs, multiple CCS creations including current mirrors and folded cascodes, I've tried the lot and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars chasing the holy silicon grail.
The outcome was no different to any other technology; all roads lead to the simple, well engineered approach which happens to be the most widely used; the single-ended VAS transistor. This is, in fact, technological convergence; this approach is so widely used because it gives the best results, rather like liquid-cooled, front engine, rear drive on automobiles.

Re: Folks...AKSA is 'it'....!!
the answer is absolutely yes. and even if you replace the name AKSA for anybody, here or not, the answer is still yes: anyone can design an amp that better any amp from a big name manufacturer, including krell, pass or hugh. there is no doubt about that.
however, there are two problems with that assertion:
1) you are talking about a hypothetical event, a possibility. I can win a lottory, I can be another Bill Gates, I can design a car that bests a Ferrari. I can ....... But I am not. and Hugh isn't designing an amp without contraints. so what real good does it serve to discuss something that isn't true?
2) we don't listen to designs. We listen to a physical, tangible amp. and there is a lot of "art and science" in turning a design into an actual thing, either on a one-off basis or in mass / quantity production. That is where a manufacturer has a hugh advantage over us.
I would agree with that. I found out also that usually the simplest linn amp sounds the best, to my ears. and I cannot detect sonic improvements that supposedly exists in those more complicated designs. so for me the simpler designs excel.

Mikeks and Mr Hugh.
I strongly believe your ideas, for me, no doubts, Hugh Dean, this is the man, and AKSA may be the amplifier.
I am waiting, i will see and hear them... i will tell you a lot.
If bad i will open my damn mouth loud and clear before banishment!
300 hundred box is not a joke for me!
Sorry, Brazil only to be sold... top secret ultimate schematic, not to share...encapsulated VAS:

This is the kind of stuff that drives me nuts!
I like you and admire your small success story in the audio business. Considering the crap I see floating around out there. I think you sell a great little amp kit that plays good music at a very honest price.
I had a very long post written about this but I just watched the last lord of the ring movie so in the spirit of diy fellowship I just erased everything and decided to drop it.
Please don't let me catch you again telling these baa_aa_ls, ok?

The ultimate is always changing, both in commercial offerings, and in whatever a diy-er can put together. I have no doubts that an individual, when motivated enough, can build better stuff than established high-end manufacturer, if not only for the fact that when building one off unit, certain approaches can be still justfiable, which might not be the case in a commercial production run, where overall costs are much bigger issue.
I still don't think that whatever Madrigal builds, can be regarded as a holy grail of amplification. While their designs are very good from technical POV, they can be much further improved when certain mods are performed. I'm still not sure why they don't do that in house, in a first place.
I'm currently modifying ML38S preamp, so I'm talking from personal experience.
Do something really well. See how much time it takes. It might be a product, a work of art, who knows? Then give it away cheaply, just because you feel that it should not cost so much, even if it took a lot of time and expensive materials to make it. - JC

that might be a different question: more like Ferrari vs. Acura / Honda vs. Porsche. (or a Pass vs. krell vs. mcintosh comparison). there is no DIY element here.
the better analogy here is Ferrari vs. a modified Civic vs. a modified 427 kit, etc. The DIY is clearly present in the last two cases.
You can clearly get a Civic to a Ferrari level in terms of performance. but it would be hard to persuade any Ferrari owners to give up their vehicles for that Civic,
Again, if you just care about sonic performance, you can clearly DIY an amp that's better than a Pass or krell or whatever you want. But you will miss out on others.

This difference, in my opinion, may differentiate the degree of success an individual designer has. This is a difference in the set of approaches a designer attempts. Some designers will try to build Class A and compare with Class B --- others may not even attempt Class A, saying that modern Class B amps distort too little already. This way, the second class of designers may miss out something interesting that Class A can provide.
Some designers may try changing components or layouts specifically for A-to-B comparisons, while others may say that layouts are critical only in the RF range, hence there's no need to try this approach. And the second class of designers may miss out some gems which are layout-dependent.
I put your example of listening versus non-listening in the same category. There are some things you have try out before you discard them. Listening for sonic differences versus gauging quality purely based on measurements is one of those things to try. Some designers try them, others don't.
But basically, this means that there's nothing stopping a good, competent and committed individual who does try out all these things from beating the Krells and MLs?

Gerardo Martino, who will be officially unveiled as the new coach of Barcelona on Friday, expressed his surprise at being given the job, and believes that the support of star
striker Lionel Messi and his father were instrumental in the club's decision to sign him.
Speaking at a press conference in Argentina the former coach of Newell's Old Boys, where Messi played before joining Barcelona at age 13, said: "I do not know the details nor the depth, but Jorge [Messi] and Lionel have spoken with the club and have been asked their opinion. I do not know the percentages or what happened, but thank you. Every Argentine should thank them."
Martino added: "Did training Messi attract me to the job? From the outside it is what you may think, while obviously within the context of what it means to be coach of Barcelona, it is also something of importance to train the world's best player. We will find the best setup so that we can help him to remain the special player that he is."

I last left off with resting from my seven mile walk around Fredericton. Following that, we headed back downtown for dinner because we were on our own that night. Sean and I met up with Dustin from Stanford who said he was meeting a bunch of people at Brewbakers. Since we hadn't eaten there yet and since the bill would be expensed, we joined them. I ordered a wonderful Maple Curry Chicken Penne dish that was very flavorful, yet not too filling. It was a little on the pricey side, but the quality was worth it. I tried Picaroons Irish Red there. It was the best Irish Red Ale I've had. Following that, we ended up at the Rogue again (which will end up being a theme for the conference). While there, I tried St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout, Gritstone Ale, and more of the Picaroons Best Bitter. I also decided to try Poutine. It was different. I wasn't all that into the soggy gravy fries, but the cheese curds were good.
The next day I skipped the first session to try to catch up on sleep. The late nights coupled with a bed that made prison cots look enticing were getting to me. The thing about New Brunswick is that it's in the Atlantic timezone, which is an hour later than Eastern Time, but Fredericton is north of the Eastern timezone. This made for long days (sunrise around 5:30 and sunset around 10), which also aided in the sleep deprivation (the curtains in the room were not very helpful). The good news about skipping was that I didn't miss anything I was interested in (which was decided before I decided to sleep in) and I got to sleep an extra hour. The last session I attended was about Facebook. I was going to go to another session on hiring/training/managing students, but I figured I've gone to enough of those. So I tried something different. It was worth it. I learned a bit about what students think of Facebook versus "real world" communication (it seems that real world communication is still more important).
Following the session, there was a Program Committee BoF, which I attended and volunteered to help out next year. I like where ResNet is going and want to do whatever I can to help it continue and sustain itself. Following that I had lunch and an Information Resources Committee meeting, during which we discussed where things are going with the ResNet websites and communication tools. Following that, I went to the vendor fair, got some information and picked up some documentation from the doc fair. After that was a break and then the closing reception and raffles and then we headed downtown for our lobster dinner and kitchen party, which was followed by more time at the Rogue (I tried Picaroons Dooryard Ale and Pump House Fire Chief Red Ale, which was good, though I thought it tasted more like a Brown Ale, and Innis and Gunn, an oak aged English Pale Ale) and a long walk up the hill to pack, sleep, and head home the next day.
The trip home was smooth (had a Creemore Springs Premium Lager in Toronto), except that my checked suitcase was left in Canada because the plane was too heavy. Next time I fly to Canada, it will be out of Boston because I don't want to deal with the crappity 18 seat plane and the possibility of my bag not coming with me. I just got word that my bag has arrived in RI and should be delivered to me sometime after 2:00.
I have pictures of it on my gallery or at Flickr.

The First Moderns: Profiles in the Origins of Twentieth-Century Thought (original 1997; edition 1998)
by William R. Everdell
Work details
The First Moderns: Profiles in the Origins of Twentieth-Century Thought by William R. Everdell (1997)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Books of intellectual history with this size and scope are always difficult to talk about. I've read some that were abysmal failures, while others were highly successful. If I had to place this one along a spectrum, it's certainly close to the latter for a couple of reasons. First, a point which has nothing to do with the quality of the book itself, but that I admire nonetheless: it was written not by an academic with narrow scholarly interests, but a wonderfully eclectic generalist, William Everdell, who has taught in the Humanities Department at St. Anne's School (yes, a private high school) in Brooklyn for the last forty years. There's something about the passionate amateur that I'm perennially attracted to. I don't think we have enough of them.
"The First Moderns" is good not only for what it covers just as well as other related books of intellectual history, but also because it covers a lot of relatively new territory. We know the usual suspects: Einstein, Rimbaud, Whitman, Russell, Kandinsky, Schoenberg, Strindberg, Picasso, and several dozen others. The names of Edwin Porter, Santiago Ramon y Cajal, and Valeriano Weyler, however, usually don't make it into books of this kind. Do people even recognize these names anymore? Everdell also widens the scope of the book by covering not only names, but topics that usually don't get mentioned. We are used to hearing Modernism defined in terms of music, philosophy, and the visual arts. Very rarely do we see mathematics and science discussed, let alone the invention of the concentration camp.
The theme into which Everdell successfully manages to fit most of his vignettes is that of discreteness, continuity, and discontinuity. One doesn't ordinarily think of something like mathematics as being potentially Modernist, but the discussion of Georg Cantor, Richard Dedekind, and Gottlob Frege makes wonderful sense in this context. They explored topics like infinity (actually, infinities), set theory, and the theoretical fundamentals of the field, including questions like, "What is an integer?" All of this work blurred the traditional lines of continuity and discontinuity that earlier logic and mathematics had felt so confident with. We also get a wonderful and highly intelligent, though non-technical, account of Ludwig Boltzmann's work with statistical mechanics and his defense of atomism. If matter is made of atoms – millions of them – how do we discover anything about a concept as abstract as "energy"? Everdell details the ways in which Boltzmann invented new mathematical tools to think about energy and entropy as statistical averages of extremely complex states. The work of Boltzmann and the people after him showed how, when multiplied by trillions and trillions, tiny, individual discrete atoms can have physical properties en masse like temperature, energy, or entropy (which are all, in fact, related to one another). Again, we see how the information about discontinuous atoms can in fact yield useful information about matter when thought of as continuous.
And even when we get lessons from art history, or music, or poetry with which we are perhaps almost familiar, Everdell adds new contexts, new names, and new layers that enable each chapter in the book to potentially morph into a book of its very own. He gives a beautiful account of Seurat's invention and exploration of pointillism, the "invention" of blank verse with Whitman, Rimbaud, and Jules Laforgue, and a whole chapter on Hugo de Vries' discovery of the gene and Max Planck's introduction of quantum theory.
Books like this, in their inexhaustible attempt to explain what a concept (like Modernism) might mean to wide swaths of human experience and creativity inevitably can be as a bit listy. "He was important … and so was this, but don't forget her…" et cetera, and Everdell hasn't fully escaped that here. But if that bothered me, I would never read this kind of book – a kind of book which I love very much. I read this sort of stuff to learn about new connections between ideas they already knew of, and I can handle the narrative jumpiness if the information is presented in an intelligent way, and Everdell is certainly the kind of intellectual cicerone who is going to teach you something fascinating. If you're interested in this time period and intellectual history as a field, I would recommend William M. Johnston's "The Austrian Mind: An Intellectual and Social History, 1848-1938." To be honest, it's dry as hay and not nearly as interesting as Everdell's book, but his sense of curiosity and the amount of sheer information covered is truly impressive. It complements the information in here nicely.
In this study of the origins of modernist thought, poet and teacher Everdell (The End of Kings, 1983) roams freely across disciplinary lines, commenting on fields as disparate as mathematics and moving pictures, neuroscience and music, and literature and the concentration camps. He argues that the most original thinkers in the modern age (ca. 1870 to 1914) illuminated a shared perception of the world, pointing to a reality seen as fragmented and discontinuous, isolate, "digital" (yes/no, not flowing), and quantized. "Modernists dissect routinely and obsessively.... The intellectual world of Modernism is...a world of precise definition and separability." Some of the thinkers Everdell profiles include mathematician Georg Cantor, physicists Ludwig Bolzmann and Albert Einstein, Freud, Seurat and Picasso, Rimbaud and Whitman, Edwin S. Porter, James Joyce, and Merce Cunningham.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0226224813, Paperback)
A lively and accessible history of Modernism, The First Moderns is filled with portraits of genius, and intellectual breakthroughs, that richly evoke the fin-de-siècle atmosphere of Paris, Vienna, St. Louis, and St. Petersburg. William Everdell offers readers an invigorating look at the unfolding of an age.
"This exceptionally wide-ranging history is chock-a-block with anecdotes, factoids, odd juxtapositions, and useful insights. Most impressive. . . . For anyone interested in learning about late 19th- and early 20th- century imaginative thought, this engagingly written book is a good place to start."—Washington Post Book World
"The First Moderns brilliantly maps the beginning of a path at whose end loom as many diasporas as there are men."—Frederic Morton, The Los Angeles Times Book Review
"In this truly exciting study of the origins of modernist thought, poet and teacher Everdell roams freely across disciplinary lines. . . . A brilliant book that will prove useful to scholars and generalists for years to come; enthusiastically recommended."—Library Journal, starred review
"Everdell has performed a rare service for his readers. Dispelling much of the current nonsense about 'postmodernism,' this book belongs on the very short list of profound works of cultural analysis."—Booklist
"Innovative and impressive . . . [Everdell] has written a marvelous, erudite, and readable study."-Mark Bevir, Spectator
"A richly eclectic history of the dawn of a new era in painting, music, literature, mathematics, physics, genetics, neuroscience, psychiatry and philosophy."—Margaret Wertheim, New Scientist
"[Everdell] has himself recombined the parts of our era's intellectual history in new and startling ways, shedding light for which the reader of The First Moderns will be eternally grateful."—Hugh Kenner, The New York Times Book Review
"Everdell shows how the idea of "modernity" arose before the First World War by telling the stories of heroes such as T. S. Eliot, Max Planck, and Georges Serault with such a lively eye for detail, irony, and ambiance that you feel as if you're reliving those miraculous years."—Jon Spayde, Utne Reader

The green blog continues to see the growing use of soybean and derivatives as a renewable chemical feedstock.
Yesterday, the United Soybean Board (USB) released its annual list of soy-based products the U.S. farmer-led organization helped introduce this year. 26 new soy-based products hit the market in 2009, according to the group, which helps provides funding to scientists and industrial partners to research, develop and commercialize products containing soybeans.
Some of this year's new products include a soy-based wood floor stain from Rust-Oleum, a line of Simmons mattresses that include soy-based foam, and a soy-based degreaser and adhesive remover available at The Home Depot and Ace Hardware.
Others, such as a soy-based adhesive used to manufacture plywood, a soy-based pavement crack sealant and soy-based bioremediation agents used in environmental cleanup, will mostly be utilized by industrial users, according to USB.
"We solicit applications, review the concepts and select them based on their technical merit and market potential," said Marty Ross, vice chair of the USB New Uses program. "Number one, the product must be technically feasible – can it be done? And, number two, just because it can be done, is it viable? What's the product's market value, and how many bushels of U.S. soybeans will it use?"
Here are the list of new soy chemicals introduced this year:
- Soy Seal™ - soy-based canned insulating foams being sold at hardware stores, from BioBased Technologies
- Polylite™ 31325-00 - unsaturated polyester resin for composites, from Reichhold Chemical
- Renuva™ – soy-based Natural Oil Polyols used to make bedding foams for Simmons Bedding's Natural Care Collection, from Dow Polyurethanes
- SoyFoam™ – soy foam for seats/headrests/armrests in the 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe, Sonata sedan and the 2009 Kia Amanti sedan, from Lear. Lear will also supply General Motors with SoyFoam for its trucks and SUVs as well as Ford for the seats in the Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKE, from Lear
- Honey Bee™ – soy-based polyols for use in Chromcraft molded-furniture seating foams from MCPU Polymer Engineering
- Ecoflex- a mattress product line named Equilibrio Natural Ecoflex that usesfoam based on Renuva Natural Oil Polyols in the comfort layers of themattresses, from foam and mattress manufacturer Ecoflex
- Green Comfort™ – sandals containing Renuva Natural Oil Polyols in the polyurethane sole, from shoe manufacturer Grupo Ravi and Wal-Mart
- Hybrid industrial coating containing soy for wood and metal applications from Sherwin-Williams
- Varathane Nano Defence – soy-based abrasion-resistant stain for wood floors from Rust-Oleum
- OSF Ecopure HPJ Soy – soy-based sheetfed lithographic ink, from INX International
- OSF EcoTech Process Inks – soy-based sustainable lithographic ink system with low VOCs, from INX International
- BioMG – soy-based inks for digital printers used in OEM type inks, from INX International

Michael Farms Wins 2014 EBAward
Friday, February 7, 2014
Springfield, OH—After six months of promoting the award, analyzing nominations and systematically narrowing down the finalists, Beth Hubbard, Logan Warye, Kim Loofbourrow and Sarah Guilloteau, WittConsultants for the 2014 Entrepreneurial Business Award, presented their findings to the managing partners and a winner for the award was chosen. The team is excited to announce the winner, Michael Farms of Champaign County.
Michael Farms is located in Urbana and specializes in supplying grocery retailers and food service distributors in Ohio and surrounding states with top quality fresh produce. The truly innovative aspect of the company is that they are a company of many firsts—creating personalized hydrocoolers, microwavable products, and grocery store data analysis programs to name a few. Also, Michael's was the first farm in Ohio to install a center pivot irrigation system in 1965. What started as a small potato farm on 130 acres has grown to be the largest vegetable farm in the state encompassing nearly 3000 acres.
Michael Farms has shown a commitment to the Urbana community for over 50 years. The company is a second-generation, going on third, family owned and operated company that stresses the importance of innovation, common sense and hard work. Michael Farms has 25 full-time and as many as 120 seasonal workers during the harvest season.
The award will be presented to Scott, Todd and Kurt Michael at the Junior Achievement Hall of Fame Banquet on May 15, 2014. The award committee is managed by Security National Bank, Junior Achievement, and the Wittenberg Center for Applied Management.

"It was a tough decision, but I talked it over with my parents and we just decided it was the best opportunity for me," he said.
"That program stands out. They were down a few years ago, you can see the rebuilding they're going through and the impact of them moving to the Big Ten, it's awesome. I'm just ready to get it started."
Likely said he really enjoyed his visit to Maryland but it wasn't until later on that he really knew it was the right place for him.
"It was a nice visit, to be honest, when I got back, it still wasn't at the top. I had to think it over. It was still LSU and Florida State in my mind," he said.
"I thought about it, prayed about it, and we just talked it out. My little brother told me to go to Maryland so I'm just following his word."
Likely is clear that his choice to play at Maryland was a family decision but in the end he made the final call. The 5-foot-8, 180-pound athlete was recruited by the Terps as a cornerback and he knows he can be a difference-maker on the next level.
"I think I can make plays and defend people and stop them from scoring," he said.
Likely finished high school with a 3.9 GPA and will enroll early at Maryland. He says goodbye to South Florida on January 20th.

Learn what's trending across POPSUGAR. View in slideshow Creating a stylish room for one little boy or baby girl is hard enough, but when you've decided not to find out your child's gender — or to put your son and daughter into one room — you have double the struggle. Luckily we've found 18 gorgeous, gender-neutral individual and shared children's spaces (don't miss our favorite boys' rooms and girls' rooms, too), all ready to inspire beautiful rooms in your own home. Shop Brands Lego 1 A Modern, Neutral Nursery We love when parents find a way to make shared spaces feel cohesive and thoughtful. Case in point: the gender-neutral New York City nursery created by first-time parents Robyn and Joe Wallace. The couple didn't find out the gender of their baby before she was born (welcome, Scarlett!), yet they managed to create a beautiful, calming space that works for both baby and grown-ups. Click here to check out the details. Source: Studio 1208 2 Martha Stewart's Grandchildren's Space When your grandmother is Martha Stewart (shh, don't call her Grandma, though), you can rest assured that your bedroom and playroom are more than just spaces to throw a few toys. Jude and Truman Stewart, 17 and 5 months old, respectively, are living the high life in a serene NYC triplex that their mom, Alexis Stewart, decorated as an urban oasis. In true Stewart form, both rooms are not only beautiful, but also practical, with furniture that can stay with the kids well past their infant and toddler stages. Click here to see more photos. Copyright © 2012, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc. Originally published in the September issue of Martha Stewart Living magazine 3 A Twin-Tastic Nursery For a Lucky Boy and Girl Stylish LA mom-to-be Kelly Zajfen faced the ultimate design challenge when she found out she was having boy/girl twins. Not only would she have to fit two babies into a small room, but she would also have to find gender-neutral items that suited her modern-chic tastes. She met the challenge with Stokke cribs, custom-made sheets, a gorgeous (and inexpensive) wall map, and a crochet elephant head that's long been on our Lil wish list. See more photos here. Source: Oh Hello Mommyhood 4 A Serene, Dreamy Nursery For Twins Some might call Susan Hutchinson — an interior designer who focuses on baby and kid spaces, an event and editorial stylist and a blogger — a bit crazy for creating an almost-all-white nursery for her boy/girl twins. But the serene space totally makes sense to us. Those little ones are sure to bring enough color into the West Chester, PA, mom-to-be's life! Click here to check out the cream, gray, and white space. Source: Nesting LLC 5 Chalkboard Gallery Wall Every nursery is a labor of love, but the cool room created for Piper Jane, daughter of blogging duo Courtney and Dustin Bowden, was heavy on labor. Stripping wallpaper, creating a striped ceiling, painting trim, refinishing a hand-me-down dresser, converting an Ikea chair into a glider, creating a DIY area rug, and building book ledges were just some of the projects the couple undertook to create a dream room for their daughter. But our favorite element by far is the awesome chalkboard gallery wall. Click here for more photos and to get inspired to create your own! Source: Project Nursery 6 Adella and Nolan's Creative, Book-Filled Playroom When Lexi Adams — blogger, former fashion designer, and mom to 4-year-old Adella and toddler Noah — was looking for a new house with her husband, Tim, finding a home with a potential play space was at the top of her wish list. While the home they found wasn't quite playroom-ready, after two years of renovation and lots of trips to Ikea, they turned what was a home office into a light, gender-neutral, creativity-boosting playroom and tot-friendly library. Click here to find out how Lexi created such an awesome playroom on a budget. Source: Adella & Co. 7 A Hip, Shared Space For Baby Adela and Her Big Brother Amanda de Beaufort is not only the brains behind amazing kids blog Coos & Ahhs, she's also the mother of two small children: newborn Adela and toddler Henry. Until her family's recent move to a larger place in Brooklyn, NY, in anticipation of Adela's arrival, Henry actually shared a room with his parents, so their new, two-bedroom space is a luxury in terms of square footage. But it still comes with the obvious challenges of putting a busy toddler boy in the same space as an infant girl. Luckily for these two tots, their mama is seriously gifted when it comes to design, and the room she created for them is stocked full of amazing finds. Click here to check out the chic shared space. Source: Coos & Ahhs 8 A Free-Flying Brooklyn Brownstone You would expect the creators of modern, eco-friendly nursery furniture and clothing line Oeuf to live in a sleek space, but the Brooklyn brownstone shared by Sophie Demenge and Michael Ryan, the husband-and-wife team behind the brand, and their two children is nothing if not unexpected. The living room's flying trapeze (yes, really) and the family's curated but decidedly lived-in look make this house feel wonderfully playful and cozy. Click here for more photos. Source: Stephanie Deleau on Project Nursery 9 A Tiny Bedroom-Turned-Triplet-Oasis While living in a small space can force families to cut down on the clutter and carefully edit their toys, kids will inevitably feel constrained by limited areas. Bob and Cortney Novogratz know all about small homes. The designing duo and stars of HGTV's Home by Novogratz have lived in and around New York City with their seven kids. The couple helped a friend of a friend convert a small Hell's Kitchen, NY, bedroom into a clean, functional room for 4-year-old triplets. Click here to see what the designers used to make it functional and fun for the tykes. Photo by Matthew Williams 10 Baby Giacomo's Yellow-and-Gray Chevron Nursery We love a baby room that's modern, soothing, and — unexpectedly — yellow and gray. Baby Giacomo's nursery, with its chevron-painted wall, stands out from the crowd. The space is filled with thoughtful details and plenty of one-of-a-kind DIY projects, courtesy of creative mom Nadia of Mamemimany. The former architect even created the chevron wall pattern using AutoCAD software, and her husband and mom helped out with the painting. Click here to see more photos. 11 Baby Valentin's Shared Nursery and Guest Room "Like any creative project, designing Valentin's nursery was both a challenge and a wonderful time of joy for me," said Caroline Colom Vasquez, proud mama and founder of online marketplace Paloma's Nest. The goal of the room, which was designed before Valentin's gender was known, was to serve as a space that could grow with the baby and, in the meantime, accommodate visiting grandparents.

Forgoing a pink-and-blue color scheme, the classically decorated nursery is primarily outfitted in green, with pink accents (and butterflies, of course) scattered throughout.

For her daughter Piper's nursery, Lauren Rauter, owner of Nashville's Rock Paper Scissors and an incredibly stylish new mama, opted for a sophisticated white-and-gray palette. Animals are a theme throughout, and the overall effect of the neutral color scheme is soft and soothing. Click through to enjoy the journey! 14 Mason and Penelope Disick's Sleek Playroom The room not to be missed in Kourtney Kardashian's former home was Mason and Penelope's playroom. There was no shortage of fun in this room, with surfboards adorning the ceiling, a Ride-On Mercedes, LEGO Storage Bricks, and a Melissa and Doug train table!

"I wanted to create a nursery that could grow with the kids," says the mom of boy/girl twin toddlers. "I had kept a folder filled with inspiration for years before we started our family, so the nursery truly was a labor of love. One of the best surprises was how functional the nursery ended up being for two very tired parents — plenty of places for storage and play." With its sophisticated, historic vibe, special art and toy finds, and muted color palette, the nursery isn't a departure from the style of the rest of the farmhouse, which was originally built in the 1700s and is located on Boston's North Shore. But with two cribs (Ikea finds made to look antique with Old Fashioned Milk Paint) and two toddling residents, this room is all about creating a cozy, kid-friendly family space. Source: Kirsten Marchand and Malcolm Brown 16 Flora's Muted Nursery Stylist and designer Estee Stanley is used to designing for big stars, but this time around, she was decorating for her own kids. "Being a designer, I've always found that everything for nurseries was so childlike . . . princesses and weird animal wallpaper," Estee says. "That's not my aesthetic. You can have a cute child's room without it looking like you're in Disneyland!" Kid-friendly but mature, the spaces Estee designed for her son, Teddy, 4, and daughter, Flora, 1, feature her design hallmarks of muted tones, artistic details, and high-end pieces mixed with vintage finds. Keep clicking to check out the details . . . including Flora's Hermès playmat! Now that's Hollywood! Source: Estee Stanley 17 Teddy's Room "I designed Teddy's room thinking he would grow up there; I tried to keep it cute and kid-like but still mature," Estee Stanley says. "I figure he'll like it until he's at least 6 . . . then he'll probably want some weird boat bed." Oeuf's Sparrow bed and a Restoration Hardware Baby + Child toy bin are all little boy, but the back wall's collection of art is decidedly grown-up. Source: Estee Stanley 18 A Nursery Inspired by Nature Birds, and bunnies, and bears — oh my! Born on Valentine's Day, sweet baby P. got to come home to this peaceful and serene woodland-inspired nursery designed by his artist mom, Katherine Sable, who chronicles her family's adventures at Fancy Goods. Dark wood furniture and a crisp white crib stand out against the soothing yellow and gray walls — an unexpected and beautiful palette for a gender neutral room.

The use of Magazine themes in WordPress Blogs is the current trend, set by most of the news blogs. Almost all the news related websites based on WordPress have adapted the magazine outlook. In fact, these magazine style themes are more in use by news portals than the actual Magazine websites.
It is a fact that these kinds of themes are a bit complex in nature, but, some of the exclusive features offered by these themes have made them highly preferential to the bloggers. One of the commendable feature of these themes is that you can manage a lot of posts on a single page. Unlike other themes, magazine themes represent the posts with a higher ratio of featured images and less with the text. It has been analyzed that blogs, installed with Magazine themes, attract more of the organic and returning traffic as compared to any other style of theme. A beautifully designed Magazine theme not only fascinates the reader but also provides some very appropriate spaces for ad placement to gain some lucrative returns.
Since these kinds of themes are in growing trend, I've gathered around Best 20 Responsive WordPress Magazine Themes from ThemeForest, one of the largest theme store. All of these themes will equally be useful for news portals, small or large business websites with eCommerce facilitation and a blog employed with too many authors.

We had a miscarriage and then immediately fell pregnant and found out a week ago that it is twins! Very exciting! They have their own sacs and placentas and were measuring a day apart and right on the 15 week mark which is right on schedule! They were moving and had strong heartbeats. Nothing was wrong or out of the ordinary. My Dr laughed and said well i can tell you your 15 weeks and you can keep treating this like a normal pregnancy, we will talk more at 20 weeks.
So that is all and well. But I am still sortof freaked about our last MC and I'm so excited about these little babies, I just can't stop thinking about losing one.
Anybody actually have that happen? I mean I know there are chances.... I guess I've read too many horror stories.
at 15 weeks with di di twins you can start to feel pretty good about things. grab news that they are measuring the same and on track.
there are a few good books to read right away that will help you with the nutria demand of this pregnancy. gaining a good amount of weight in a healthy way early is one of the best things you can do. near the end the babies will be growing so fast it will be hard to keep up!
here are two of the best books:
first one is very heavy on the nutrition of pregnancy, good info.
second one is great book from the la leche league and covers tons about everything including breastfeeding and post birth issues.
and most of all , congrats! and welcome to Mothering.com!!!
So what if I don't fit cleanly into a defined parenting style, my kids don't fit into a personality archetype either!
Thanks, I couldn't find many stories about di di twins. I have been poking around and can feel one of them. :) renting a fetal Doppler to keep my negative thoughts it check. I started this pregnancy about 60 lbs overweight and I've lost two pounds. I keep reading about gaining weight being so important in the second trimester. I assume if I am eating healthy I should be ok?
I actually experienced the loss of a twin at 20 weeks. But from what our doctor told us, it is not very common at that stage. It is much more common for it to happen early in the first trimester if it is going to happen at all. So the fact that you are already to 15 weeks is a very very good sign.
With ours, the one we ended up losing was never much of a mover. We used to joke that we already could tell what their personalities were going to be like because one was always moving and doing flips on the ultrasounds and the other one was always kind of chill. In retrospect though, I wonder if maybe the one we lost was just never as healthy and strong as out surviving little guy. The fact that both your little guys are moving around and have strong heartbeats is another good sign that they are healthy and strong.
Also, we did IVF, so our twins weren't a natural occurrence. I'm not sure why, but I think it tends to happen more with IVF multiples than with naturally occurring twins.
I'm so sorry you experienced the miscarriage previously. Was that in the first trimester? I think a late term loss is a very different event biologically than an early miscarriage. What I mean is, I don't think you should have any reason to suspect that because you've had a miscarriage before that it would make you more likely to possibly have a loss later in pregnancy. Does that make sense? Would it help maybe to talk to your doctor about your fears? I know they can't give you guarantees, but it may help to hear from a professional that your odds of losing one is very low.
I totally understand your fear though. Once we lost the twin, I had a lot of fear for our remaining little guy. I was so afraid of losing him too. But he is now 9 months old and is as healthy and happy as can be. I still miss our lost twin sometimes, or miss what could have been, but mainly I just feel so overwhelmingly blessed to have our beautiful little boy in our lives. And I feel like he will always have his own little guardian angel spirit watching over him in some way.
I hope my story doesn't add to your fears. The main thing I wanted to convey is that it sounds like yours are thriving and doing wonderfully and that your chances are much less now that you're into your second trimester. I know it's hard when you've had a previous loss, but try to picture holding those 2 beautiful babies in your arms when this is all over. Congratulations! I'm sending you lots of hugs and support! :)
I just wanted to add a note of reassurance about movement...just because you can't seem to feel one moving, or one baby doesn't seem to move much, is really not a good indicator of health. Due to the location of the placenta, I rarely felt one of my twins move. And when she did, how can you *really* be sure it's one vs. the other? Even with a single pg, the placenta can interfere with how much movement you feel. Movement is important, but it has to be considered in light of fetal and placental position. Otherwise, you can get a freaked out mama. I know.
also i had one twin moved constantly and one was very still, she is now such a go getter! and never holds still and is a amazing healthy 1 year old. (the one that never sat still in the womb is now my laid back boy that is more than happy to have the world come to him.)
so movement or lack there of is usually only a issue if it is extreme
So what if I don't fit cleanly into a defined parenting style, my kids don't fit into a personality archetype either!
Those are great points about movement. Sorry, I didn't intend to scare the OP with my story regarding movement. I was just trying to say it sounded like a positive that hers were both seen moving on the last ultrasound. I hope I didn't add to her fears, my intent was actually the opposite.

I don't think anyone took you that way. I think your experience is valid. And fetal movement is generally accepted as a sign of well being. I often got freaked out because I couldn't feel baby(ies) move. Then someone mentioned about placenta and fetal positioning interfering with some of the movement we feel.
I am so sorry for your loss. When I was pg w/ my twins it was a constant fear. I can't imagine how devestated you were.
Oh, and if you get an ultrasound, pay attention to how often baby moves and whether or not you feel it. You will be shocked at how little you are actually feeling.

Thanks queenofchaos! That's very sweet of you! :)
I have been a ball of nerves this whole pregnancy. I went into the hospital one night with what i called braxton hicks that would not stop for over 2 hours, even after i had sat down and drank a bottle of water and sharp pain in my ribs and low ache.
They did an ultrasound and everything was cool but the DR saw a black spot on baby b's placenta and said it could be a bleed and booked me to have another ultrasound the next day.
I of course googled the heck out of it and was so freaked that the placenta was coming away from the wall etc. Ultrasound tech showed me two healthy moving babies but could not tell me about the bleed ( if there was one or not) as that was the radiologists job and they would contact my DR who would contact me.
>:( i was not happy! So after two days of crying, googling and calling non-stop to get ahold of my DR. I finally get told "ultrasound was completely normal"
No explanation of black spot. *shrug* i have to wait until Feb9th when i can see my DR.
So cool, i relaxed and went back to normal living with my 3.5yr old and almost 2 yr old.
In the last four days ( i am now 18 weeks) i have noticed a weird change. My boobs don't hurt as much and my vajayjay isn't as swollen and achey AND my stomach has been softer, and easier to bend over.
I know symptoms can subside in the second trimester but I'm freaked that my stomach - which was expanding everyday very painfully has stopped and i can now bed straight over a couple of times without really any discomfort. ( i was measuring 25 weeks the last time they checked)
I want to go into the DR but i know i will have to see a walk in DR and he will roll his eyes at me. I can't find anything online about this and i'm FREAKED that i've lost one and its being absorbed or dehydrated ( thus the smaller, less firm belly)
I know this is long ...
I'm just looking for support.
Scary. And some times you just go with your gut and let them laugh if they want to laugh. If you feel like something might be wrong, sometimes you just have to trust that feeling and talk to a doctor. You could call rather than going in.
That said, there was a point in my pregnancy when I switched over from being bloated to the tummy being all baby. Which was definitely a change.
How many weeks are you now? I would be thinking it may just be a major change of position in one or both of the babes. If you had one floating high, who moved head down and lower, that could account for your feelings of change in your belly. But definitely call or go in and get checked out. It's not good to stress yourself out! And update us with what you find out.
Mom to eight!! Our twin girls arrived 3-3-2011.
I went into the clinic and heard both heartbeats. The dr herself had twins so she was sympathetic and told me not to worry so much. And not to google too much ;) I also rented a Doppler, which should get here by Friday hopefully. :)
Thank you for all the support.
I have had to see a fertility specialist for my pregnancies. I have not had to do IVF but had to do the medications, shots, etc. My first pregnancy resulted in a "vanishing twin" which disappeared at around 10 weeks (so I guess technically my 3yo daughter was almost a twin!) Three years later I got pregnant and that pregnancy lasted about 15 days. This pregnancy is going strong at 38 weeks exactly with twins. I am so glad my Dr told me our hospital has a strict NO-INDUCE policy for les than 39 weeks for anyone with a normal pregnancy. I want these buns to stay in as long as they can go.
As for the movements .. I have had a few issues. The most interesting thing I found out is that my boy (I have B/G twins) is presenting and on the far outer shell of my belly and my girl is on the inside more (closer to my muscles). I have alot of numbness in my belly around the belly button (because he;s pushing so hard on the nerves there) and around it so sometimes I can SEE him moving wildly but can't feel it. This is opposed to feeling EVERY movement of my girl who is laying along my muscles and tickling me greatly.
Any Dr that mocks you for having a concern is a JOKE. Mine always has a nice smile for me and makes me feel calm and lets me know these are all very common complaints she has heard and had herself (she's got a little baby right now, too). Hang in there and yes, stay away from Google :P
that is great to hear! every hospital should have this, it crazy the elective inductions that i have been hearing about recently and way more disturbing is how early the doctor "recommended" ones are for a lot of twins, but when they ask why they usually here "well most ladies just like that so we offer" yikes!!!
So what if I don't fit cleanly into a defined parenting style, my kids don't fit into a personality archetype either!
Here's another thing: what week did your Dr calculate your due date at? Mine was 40 weeks? Did anyone else get a sooner date because it was assumed you would not make it to 40 - 42 weeks?
That's awesome!! Great job to you on your pregnancy and birth!! I waited to CD until the girls were 3 months but it saves soooo much money I wish I had done it earlier. It's not as hard as I had anticipated.

Mom to eight!! Our twin girls arrived 3-3-2011.
I wanted to come back and update! After getting to 20 weeks I felt much better, less freaked out and everything progressed great! I got bigger, bigger, huger, ginormous! I measured 54 weeks at the end! I had no complications other than size and and tiredness. I made it all the way to 38+1! I had to have several discussions with my twin dr because they wanted to put in an epidural "just in case" I refused. I had to deliver in an OR on a flat table with my legs up in styrups, which was beyond horrible compared to my other deliveries.. But I did it! Baby a was a girl 7lbs5oz and an very very veeeery long hour later with some help of pitocin, baby b was delivered breach, one leg up, one down! Ouch and was 6lbs 13oz! But I did it. Drug free and csection free! I could not walk or sit up for three days after. I slept with babies on my chest. I breast fed and cloth diapered from day one and here we are and Sadie and Kiefer are 5 months old and starting to roll around! Good luck twin mamas out there!!
Ahhhh...oh my god....ouch. 54 weeks?

Centennial Farms
Centennial Farms
The Georgia Centennial Farm Program was developed in 1993 to distinguish family farms that have contributed to preserving Georgia's agricultural history by maintaining working farms for more than 100 years. The program has recognized 504 farms around the state. It is administered by the Historic Preservation Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources in a partnership with the Georgia Farm Bureau Federation; Georgia Department of Agriculture; Georgia Forestry Commission; and the Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter. It is sponsored in part by Georgia EMC.
Each year, qualifying farms are recognized at the opening day of the Georgia National Fair in Perry, Georgia. During the awards presentation, farm owners receive a Georgia Centennial Farm certificate of honor signed by the governor.
In 2016, the following 22 farms received Georgia Centennial Family Farm Awards:
Photos and descriptions of previous recipients are available on our HPD Flickr page.

Addison Disease
Addison disease is also called primary adrenal insufficiency. It is a condition where your adrenal glands do not make enough adrenal hormones. These hormones help your body deal with stress, keep blood pressure normal, and balance salt and fluids. They also control how your body uses sugars, fats, and proteins. Addison disease can lead to an adrenal crisis (Addisonian crisis) if your adrenal gland becomes badly damaged. This is life-threatening and needs immediate treatment.
Informed consent
is a legal document that explains the tests, treatments, or procedures that you may need. Informed consent means you understand what will be done and can make decisions about what you want. You give your permission when you sign the consent form. You can have someone sign this form for you if you are not able to sign it. You have the right to understand your medical care in words you know. Before you sign the consent form, understand the risks and benefits of what will be done. Make sure all your questions are answered.
An IV
is a small tube placed in your vein that is used to give you medicine or liquids.
Intravenous therapy:
This is a liquid given to replace the fluid that your body had lost. It will help keep the fluid and salt balance in your body normal.
- Steroid medicine: Steroids are given to balance the steroid hormone levels your adrenal glands naturally make. This medicine may help you feel better, but may also have unwanted effects. You may need to take this medicine for the rest of your life. You may need to change how much medicine you take when you are ill or have increased stress. Do not stop taking this medicine without talking to your healthcare provider. You can trigger an adrenal crisis if you stop taking steroids suddenly.
- Blood tests: You may need blood taken for tests. These tests tell your healthcare provider how high or low the levels of hormones are in your blood. Other blood tests may be done to give your healthcare providers more information about your health. The blood can be taken from a blood vessel in your hand, arm, or the bend in your elbow. You may need to have blood drawn more than once.
- Chemical stimulation tests: Your blood will be tested first. Then you will be given a shot of chemicals that cause your adrenal glands to make hormones. After several minutes, your hormone levels in your blood are tested again. Ask your healthcare provider for information about this test.
- EEG: This test is also called an electroencephalogram. Many small pads or metal discs are put on your head. Each has a wire that is hooked to a machine. This machine prints a paper tracing of brain wave activity from different parts of your brain. Healthcare providers look at the tracing to see how your brain is working. With Addison disease you may have slow brain waves that are causing some of your symptoms.
- Imaging tests: These tests may be done to see why you have Addison disease. They can show cancers, infection, or bleeding of your adrenal glands. Certain tests use a special dye to help pictures show up better. People who are allergic to iodine or shellfish (lobster, crab, or shrimp) may be allergic to some dyes. Tell your healthcare provider if you are allergic to shellfish, or have other allergies or medical conditions.
- Computed tomography scan: This is also called CT scan. An x-ray machine uses a computer to take pictures of your adrenal glands. It may also be used to look at tissues, bones, muscles, and blood vessels. Before taking the pictures, you may be given dye through an intravenous (IV) tube in your vein.
- Magnetic resonance imaging: This test is also called a MRI. During the MRI, pictures of your adrenal glands are taken. You will need to lie still during the test. Never enter the MRI room with an oxygen tank, watch, or any other metal objects. This can cause serious injury.
- Urine test: This test measures the amount of adrenal hormones in your urine. Ask your healthcare provider for more information about this test.
Vital signs:
Caregivers will check your blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate, and temperature. They will also ask about your pain. These vital signs give caregivers information about your current health.
You may be weighed each day. Caregivers compare your weight from day to day to record how much body fluid you have. You can become dehydrated if you lose too much. You can have shortness of breath or swelling in your legs if you retain too much.
You may have an allergic response to the medicines used to treat your disease. The medicines may cause you to gain weight or bruise easily. You may have fast heartbeats and muscle weakness. Over time, your bones may become brittle and break easier. If you do not treat Addison's disease or stop taking your medicine, you to have changes in behavior and delusions (hear voices). You can have an adrenal crisis if you do not take your medicine or do not get treatment. An adrenal crisis can make you lose body fluid and decrease your blood pressure too much. This may cause you to go into a coma and you may die.

text: Hey yall. What's the deal about 5.7x28mm ammo? The FN 57 and P90 shoot it. I was looking at ballistics data and was surprised. Sure the velocity is awesome, 1800fps. But, the energy was only around 350ft/lbs. Now I understand that figures aren't everything, but still, the round just seems like it would punch right through you without transferring much energy at all.

The summer of 2010 will probably never be matched, but the summer of 2014 is shaping up to be pretty spectacular as well. Namely, guys like LeBron James, Dwyane Wade Chris Bosh and Camelo Anthony can all become free agents this summer.
Speaking specifically about the Miami Heat trio, according to Dwyane Wade, none of those three guys know what their plans will be this summer and it sounds like they'll huddle up first.
"I'm at a position where I don't really have to worry about it," said Wade, who also won a title for the Heat in 2006. "I've been with the same organization for now 11 years. We've won multiple championships, so it's no reason where I need to think about that yet. I'm not at a point where we are a bad team and I need to think about the future so right now I'm really focused on just enjoying this team, enjoying our quest to try to 'Three-peat.' And when the season is over, and whatever happens, then I will sit down and I will sit down with Chris and I will sit down with Bron and I will sit down and make the best decision for myself and my family."
Smart money is on all of them remaining in Miami, but you never know. Wade and Bosh would be best served to remain, but LeBron is an interesting case. Does teaming up with Melo (and Phil) in New York do anything for him?

7286 Lindsay Lohan Jennifer Cross Body Handbag
|By: Darlene B.
With all of the news that surrounds Lindsay Lohan, it's no wonder that one of her endeavors slipped through the cracks. A couple of years ago the troubled actress created a line of handbags inspired by some of Hollywood's legendary stars. The collection, called 6126 by Lindsay Lohan, actually is Marilyn Monroe's birthday (the 7286 collection is Lohan's birthday). The Jennifer Cross Body Handbag is a sweet little purse that I actually like regardless of who designed it. The electric blue background is dabbed in gold and embellished with a gold chain around the bottom of the bag and chain drawstring at the top. Designer's Imports is where I found this cute cross body on sale for just $55.posted: February 7th, 2013

text: Brian, wherever you are, my first hive to convert to slatted racks and ssb's (last year) has just gone over 300lbs of honey for this year; about 250lbs harvested with a full medium left on the hive plus what's on the side of the brood frames. And there's still the prospect for a great fall flow here. The colony is massive and I probably should have split it earlier in August but I can do that in the spring.

Regarding tire pressure:
When I took delivery on my Soul +, the tires were inflated to about 44 pounds.
When I reduced that to 36 pounds, road noise decreased.
At a dealer seminar this week (Friendly KIA of New Port Richey), we (new KIA owners) found that KIA inflates all tires to 44 pounds so that the tires will not develop flat spots during their stay on the lot before they are sold. Before delivery, tire pressure should be decreased to spec.
