Our website is pulling 7GB a month these past couple of months. We average 150 users per day. Our main path and landing pages pull 500kb per visit as in 500 KB - Main Page ->, Warn->, Winches. For every 1GB over 5GB (or 6gb cant remember what i was told) its like an extra $125. I have already hosted most large images off-site and really optimized the on-site images to the point of image quality degradation. Some images are like 5kb with others being 10-20kb.Is there anyway to calculate up bandwidth usage with Google Analytic or a 3rd party app? My employer states that we have a decrease in sales yet an increase in traffic and BW usage. Our BW spiked from 4gb to 7GB and I`m just not seeing the traffic in Analytics. Personally i think his hosting company is screwing him.www.clemson4wheel.com
Totally getting screwed by your hosting company. Even high end hosting or a VPS would be much much cheaper.--Broadline Networks Inc.
1GB over 5GB its $125.
Noticed that you really promote the Warn products, yet many of their products have NO shipping options (only choice is a local pickup), even though they weigh less than the UPS 150 lb. limit. Even worse, the Warn product descriptions are images full of text, rather than straight text. Hurts SEO.Try setting up Google Analytics to trace how potential customers enter the site, what pages in what order they visit, and where it is that they bail out.And get rid of that Microsoft Internet Explorer favicon.--V-Rtifacts - When Virtual Reality Was More Than Virtual

Maybe you've accounted for this but how much of the traffic is being caused by search bots? On my blog, looking at AWSTATS, half of the hits and a little over half of the bandwidth is caused by bots, and not people. And well, bots generally do not buy anything.I don't worry about it since I have 200GB/month bandwidth for my $5/mo webhosting at Surpass.I did notice that your site sends the images out for every tab on the page on the first visit. It might be better from a bandwidth PoV to only send out the images when that specific tab is clicked on.
Ya. I might just do away with the tab if its going to save $125 +. If they want a modern site they need to move away from cponline. They have obviously outgrown the capabilities of it.
Think about the shopping experience from the customer point of view. They've arrived at your site thinking they'll get a great price and great service on Warn winches. Good start!! Maybe they've also done a bit of research on competing sites.So they navigate down to the winch they want, but whoa!! Red flag number one, the price isn't listed; you've got to add the winch to your cart to see the price. Some of the potential customers bail out and order from somebody else. The rest of the customers add to cart and find out your price is pretty good (not great, but competitive.) Smart shopper thinks: "I'd better check on the shipping cost, this could be a deal breaker." Damn! No shipping options or costs. The product page advertises free shipping, but once it's in my cart, all shipping options are marked "N/A" (does that mean "not applicable" or "not available" or "nevermind a**h*le"?) At first glance the site suggests local pickup as the only option. At this point 75% abandon their carts... just too much trouble to call or email to ask WTF is up. They'd rather go with a vendor who has their act together on shipping.In short, you need to follow the funnel and find out why more people are coming to your site and why they leave without making a purchase.You can cite company policy and the rules of your e-commerce provider till you're blue in the face, but if my business was loosing 75% of shoppers who've already put items in their shopping cart, I'd burn the rule book ASAP. The profit on a single high-end winch would pay for all the extra bandwidth you've mentioned.Rule number one of online commerce. Make the path from site entry to actual purchase incredibly easy. Any barrier, no matter how small will cost you sales. Your complaint is about high bandwidth and low sales. Your job is to find out why your site visitors aren't converting. I've suggested a few obvious barriers. Good analytics will reveal the true barriers in a quantitative way that you can take to the boss. You should be able to say: "we're losing XXX dollars in profit because shoppers abandon their carts on page YYYY. Here's how we fix it."--V-Rtifacts - When Virtual Reality Was More Than Virtual
Great post. I get exactly what you are saying.
Not applicable. N/A. Free shipping. Maybe I need to see if we can completely remove the shipping options from free shipping items?**I reduced our image library from 1.1GB to 800MB. Hopefully that will reduce some of the BW usage. Employer states if the upcoming cponline integration with Magento isn't better we will be jumping ship and I should start looking for a way to integrate Counterpoint SQL with a new online store front.
Some times the search engines indexing your site can cause your bandwidth to spike - ie. GoogleBot MSNBot.I would take a look at the log files and see exactly who is hitting your site. Another cool way of doing this is install a program like LiveZilla on your site (chat system) and put the operator client on your desktop. You will be able to see who is hitting your site in real time and identify where the traffic is coming from.

Finding the best criminal defense attorney in Chicago can be tricky.
Picture a common teen on the Southside of Chicago in the 1970s. Road arrogant and clever, naturally; however still attempting to figure himself out, also. That was me.
It was a challenging area. It's obvious to Chicagoans which recognize the city's record: police officer corruption was considered given because period.
Although my friends and I had actually found out to offer the city's cops a wide berth, we consistently had feeling that when press involved push, justice would certainly dominate.
As a young adult, I knew the guidelines, yet had not been consistently clever. And when, throughout a race in which I was driving the automobile, one of my guests directed a plastic plaything weapon at the man we were competing, I found out exactly how rapidly enjoyable and video games might finish.
The policeman remembered of my permit plate number, and I was the one to obtain carried into the 8th Area for questioning. It is just one of the similar Area Terminals where several of my customers find themselves today.
That's exactly what intending a plaything weapon at somebody might obtain you then, and could acquire you today. I really did not recognize precisely that had actually possessed the plastic handgun, and I also provided to chat to my good friends to locate the perpetrator.

The costs really did not stick, yet the experience left me really feeling disappointed and pull down by the cops. Regardless of their track record at the time, I relied on Chicago's finest in regards to their capacity to locate the actual bad men and leave the upright in peace.
It was a developmental encounter. I will visit university and had actually been thinking of a job to seek. By the time I finished from the University of Illinois at Champaign, I had actually made a decision to head to law school.
My objective: to guard the civil liberties of folks implicated of unlawful acts. In my 18 years as a legal representative, I have actually striven to develop my capabilities in case regulation, examination, interrogation and various other aspects, which are critical to prevailing on part of my customers.

I have actually discovered to place myself in their footwears, know their language and society, and value their parts in the criminal justice device.
Still, my customers and the anticipation of virtue will certainly consistently come.

Toddlers. They're always finding novel and thrilling ways to flirt with danger. Today's disaster story is about the toddler who swallowed 42 refrigerator magnets and had to have them surgically removed. Forty-two magnets! Apparently his mother discovered what happened when she walked into the kitchen and noticed all the refrigerator magnets were missing.
Where could they have gone? In her 12-month-old's mouth, naturally. Sure enough, when she rushed her son to the hospital, x-rays revealed the 42 magnets in his digestive system. It would be a funny story, except that magnets can be incredibly dangerous to swallow.
There's the choking hazard, of course. But worse, magnets in the belly can become trapped and cause infection, perforations, blockage, poisoning, or death. Some may contain lead. So they're not the kind of thing you just allow to work their way through the system.
More from The Stir: Dad Sticks Baby in Washing Machine in Joke That Goes Horribly Wrong (VIDEO)
I know what you're all thinking right now: Those magnets shouldn't have been within reach on the refrigerator door in the first place! I wonder if the toddler's mom just forgot to child-proof her home again once her son started walking. It's an easy mistake to make, and I feel for this poor mother. But if anything, child-proofing becomes more important once your child is a toddler. Kids who can walk can reach a whole lot more than they could when they were babies. And they're still obsessed with putting everything into their mouths, even if it looks nothing like food.
Anyway, thank goodness the toddler survived. I'm sure having surgery at such a young age wasn't great for him, but I'm glad he's all right now. No doubt his parents are keeping a sharper eye out now.
Has your child ever swallowed anything dangerous?

I was asking the same thing as the above posters. Where was the parent while this kid was swalling that many magnets? This could of killed him, could of pinched off blood supply to the bowel or choked. Unreal. I would be embarrassed if that were my kid. !st the magnets are that easily reached and 2nd, the parent(s) were gone for a crazy amount of time.
I'm with you mom2fourlove. If I go to the bathroom, I put him up somewhere or heck, bring him with me! Its much easier than taking him to the ER because he did something. Like swallow 42 magnets!
Maybe they were the very small kind? Baby could've taken fistfuls and mom could've been busy. It only takes a minute.

By ALEXIS ZOTOS 6 News Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) – Police say a group of solicitors spotted at several intersections in West Knoxville is a fraud.
Earlier this week, 6 News looked into the group after receiving several concerned calls from viewers.
The group has been moving from intersection to intersection and between city and county lines, but when asked what the name of their organization was, one woman said "it's confidential."
The group was stationed at Lovell Road and Kingston Pike on Thursday. They were carrying buckets with various names. Some said "Feed the Children," another said "New Life Christian Church" and another said "Project Verso."
It's the same group 6 News saw at Morrell and Kingston Pike over the weekend, a group KPD says is a fraud.
"They were very defensive. They indicated they were trying to raise money for a charity through their church, but yet they could not give us the name of the church," said Darrell DeBusk, KPD spokesperson.
KPD cited them for soliciting without a permit.
"Three of the individuals are from Florida, one is from South Carolina and two of the individuals had outstanding warrants for their arrest from three different states," DeBusk said.
The warrants were for similar charges in other states. DeBusk said that's their game.
"You'll see them pack up and move to another busy intersection and another intersection," he explained.
They have moved around Knoxville and into Knox County.
When we asked the Knox County Sheriff's office earlier this week, 6 News was told it was allowed because they were a nonprofit.
According to Knox County Law Director Bud Armstrong, it is illegal to collect money in intersections.
According to the county code:
"No peddler, street barker, solicitor, solicitor for charitable purposes, or solicitor for subscriptions shall:
(1) Be permitted to set up and operate a booth or stand on any street or sidewalk, or in any other public area within the county."
After speaking to the law director Friday, we asked the sheriff's department again about the group. We received this statement from Sheriff Jimmy JJ Jones:
"We deal with nonprofits at intersections on a case-by-case basis. We make sure they are not impeding traffic or are a safety hazard to themselves and others."
When asked to clarify what case by case meant when the code said it is not allowed, we received another statement.
"As long as they are not impeding or creating a safety hazard to themselves or others, then no citation will be issued. If there are any safety concerns, then they will be told to leave."
The sheriff's office didn't issue any citation. As for the city's citation, DeBusk said the group indicated they'd pay for it from the donations.
"They inquired how much the citation was, the officer indicated it was around $100 and they said 'That's no problem. We'll just take the money out of the bail.' That's again another sign this is not a legitimate operation," he said.
We searched New Life Christian Church and found one in Virginia; they said they had no affiliation with a group seeking donations. There is a Project Verso in Atlanta. We were unable to reach anyone with the organization to ask if they were connected with the group in Knoxville.

The Final Countdown: Style File's Top Stories of 2013
The fashion biz has had quite a year. 2013 was jam-packed with major designer shakeups, groundbreaking ad campaigns, celebrity collaborations, and pop star performance wardrobes filled with custom-made designer duds. In the final days leading up to 2014, we're counting down Style File's most popular twenty stories of the year. So sit back, relax, and relive 2013′s unforgettable moments. Let's kick things off with numbers twenty through sixteen, below.
20. Rihanna and River Island Take London Fashion Week
Rihanna stirred up some anarchy in the U.K. when she and Adam Selman debuted their risqué River Island collection at London fashion week in February. Style.com had a front-row-seat to the star's design debut.
19. Maison Kitsuné's Retro Pop Experience
Gildas Loaëc and Masaya Kuroki, the talents behind cult fashion brand-cum-record label Maison Kitsuné, were Pitti W's Fall '13 guest designers. And in keeping with their quirky, multidisciplinary roots, the pair put on a riotous musical fashion presentation. Style.com was on the scene to document their sixties-themed extravaganza.
18. Dior Walks the Red Square
Last July, for the second time in history, Dior staged a show in Moscow's Red Square. As you can imagine, the festivities, which were hosted inside a purpose-built mirrored pavilion, were brimming with glitz and glamour—albeit of Dior's sleek and tasteful variety. Designer and Style Map contributor Vika Gazinskaya took us inside the memorable affair.
17. Playboy's Artist Pals Are Rethinking Sexy—But Is It Porn or Art?
Playboy has had a big year, what with Kate Moss covering its sixtieth anniversary issue and Richard Phillips' controversial Playboy Marfa installation. Back in May, the magazine's new director of special projects, curator Neville Wakefield, asked artists Aaron Young, Malerie Marder, and Alex Israel to create works featuring Playmate of the Year Raquel Pomplun. So we asked the question—were the results porn or art?
16. Bike Like Baba
In 2013, just six years after Paris inaugurated its shared vélo program, New York finally caught up and launched its ever-popular Citi Bikes. But traffic-inducing tourists aren't the only ones using the vehicles—the bicycles were a popular mode of transport at New York fashion week. During the Spring '14 shows, we talked to eccentric stylist and cyclist extraordinaire Catherine Baba about the dos and don'ts of biking about town.

at 5'8 i have almost all of my blazers shortened - i think it helps with the proportions and avoids calling unnecessary attention to your mid thigh. it normally not too much of an issue but as i get more and more particular regarding the details of blazers i'm finding its becoming a real hunt for an off the rack perfect fit.
that being said, i've had luck with:
bonobos - i bought the alma mater blazer a few years ago and to this day, the fit is awesome. they may have changed their fit over the years but the 36R worked great for me.
club monaco's XS - while i think the sleeve measurements occasionally need a bit more scaling when sizing down to XS the length on club monaco's XS blazer fit is pretty great. i have some true standout & standby piece rom club monaco and they're always strong with the basics.
j.crew's XS fit - recently picked up a linen piece from j.crew and the length is pretty spot on. i could go a touch shorter for casual wear (t shirts, polos, summer nonsense) but thats only because i'm growing picky.
if you're looking to get into more specifics - shoot me an email. firstname.lastname@example.com

Rates for both new- and used-auto loans slammed into reverse this week. The average five-year new-car loan rate dropped to 4.04 percent. On used-car loans, the average four-year rate pulled back to 4.47 percent.
Lenders cutting car loan rates far outnumber those raising rates, and on average, rates remain close to record lows. Further, with the Federal Reserve likely to continue their bond-buying stimulus in its current form for some time and maintain short-term interest rates at near-zero levels for an even longer period of time, the outlook for auto loan rates and car buyers remains very strong.

Movie Info
A retired detective must battle former colleagues and his own failing health in order to bring a murderer to justice in this action drama produced and directed by its star, Clint Eastwood. Terry McCaleb (Eastwood) was one of the best and most thorough detectives at the FBI's Southern California office, until a massive heart attack sidelined him from police work for good. Following a heart transplant which saved his life, McCaleb has resigned himself to living quietly on a houseboat for the rest

It's mostly a pro forma police procedural spiced by a baroque twist that Eastwood doesn't really know what to do with.
It can be argued, I suppose, that Blood Work was designed from the outset not so much as a whodunit as a why-and-how-dunit, and here the film becomes metaphysically ingenious.
Even as it ends in a flurry of absurd plot twists, Blood Work holds you in a vise.
This vehicle—the cinematic equivalent of a supermarket paperback—plays like the best-ever episode of Matlock rather than a truly distinguished feature film. [Blu-ray]
The pivotal teaser is a numerical code that baffles experts but gets cracked in one curious gaze by a schoolboy.
Master filmmaker Clint Eastwood continues in the classic Howard Hawks/John Ford tradition with unobtrustive direction, relaxed pacing, and strong characters and storytelling.
The movie could have used a heart transplant of its own, for its ultimate undoing is its minuscule, phoned-in energy level.
The talent just isn't there to raise the level of this film past television drama.
It's still fun to watch [Eastwood] chase the bad guys, and he still has that indescribable aura about him.
Blood Work is a lot like a well-made PB & J sandwich: familiar, fairly uneventful and boasting no real surprises - but still quite tasty and inviting all the same.
I'm sorry, the guy may be tough, or good-looking, or a respected Hollywood elder, but CLINT EASTWOOD IS NOT A VERY GOOD ACTOR. There, I said it.
Eastwood should spend the next five years gargling to get rid of the taste.
The murder mystery develops in engaging fashion, but disappointment comes when Blood Work intermittently leaves its clever roots to honor dull Hollywood conventions.
Clint still has presence, but he now looks very elderly, with stunt doubles to do fights and running and, for all I know, walking and breathing too.
It's badly made, the plot is ridiculous and what's more, it confirms that Clint, like Woody Allen, is now much too old for love scenes of any kind.
...an elegant, well-paced, low-key mystery filled with intriguing characters and fascinating details.
A classy item by a legend who may have nothing left to prove but still has the chops and drive to show how its done.
Audience Reviews for Blood Work
Super Reviewer
"He's a heartbeat away from catching the killer"
Blood Work gets a lot of shit and it is easy to see why. This is a predictable and lazy thriller from Eastwood. The plot is interesting enough to make it passable, but when you think Eastwood, you think of high quality films; not this. The supporting cast is extremely bad. Eastwood even seems to be sleepwalking through his role, a role which he has played a hundred times. He plays his standard old detective, who is done with his career, but wants to solve one last case.�
A woman comes to McCaleb, a retired FBI man who has just gotten a heart transplant. The woman who comes to him, had a sister killed and that sisters heart went to McCaleb. So he feels that he must help her out, despite objections from his doctor and the authorities. He starts to piece things together, such as linked murders. The killer is also leaving messages, he says at all of his killings, "Happy Valentine's Day."
This is a very average and pretty dull film from Eastwood. It isn't up to par with the majority of his work, but it also isn't his worst. If you're a big fan of Eastwood, it is still worth a look. Bad Eastwood is still decent when you look at what other directors throw out there.

Smart Tip: Keep Berries Fresh Longer With This Washing Method
Fresh berries are one of summer's great pleasures, but they don't come cheap — which makes it even more disappointing when a basket of strawberries or raspberries turns to moldy mush within days of purchase. Washing them before storage usually accelerates the deterioration, but Cook's Illustrated has a washing method that actually keeps the berries fresh longer in storage. Here's what they recommend:
Wash the berries in a diluted vinegar bath (1 cup vinegar plus 3 cups water) and spin them dry in a salad spinner lined with paper towels until they are completely dry. Store the cleaned berries in a sealable container lined with paper towels, leaving the lid open a little to allow moisture to escape.
The vinegar destroys bacteria and mold spores on the berries, helping them stay fresh longer. According to Lifehacker, this method extends the shelf life of berries by days, sometimes even weeks.

Wouldn't this make your berries taste like ... vinegar?
I do a quick wash in scalding water to accomplish the same end. I find it works fabulously. I don't like to use vinegar because of the taste. (I know people say its tasteless but I swear I can taste it)
A couple of years ago I bought some storage containers that promised their technology would help prevent spoilage and they work. I can buy berries and keep them fresh much longer. Strawberries for two weeks and raspberries almost as long. I would worry as others have about vinegar leaving a taste?
I have done this with strawberries with pretty good success. I like being able to just pull them out of the fridge and eat them without having to wash. After I let them soak in the vinegar solution for a while I give them a good rinse and that seems to take care of any leftover vinegar taste.
@Creative Culinary - Can you please tell us more about these storage containers?
And as far as the vinegar taste, maybe a champagne vinegar or something better tasting than white vinegar would work as well but not leave as strong an aftertaste (if there is any).
Wouldn't spinning raspberries smush them to bits?
Sounds like it's worth a try for strawbs.
I usually do a quick rinse after the soak, and I find the vinegar taste goes away when the berries dry. Then again, I use a lot of white vinegar for cleaning and such and don't really mind the smell or taste.
I've tried this with raspberries and spinning just squished them. I think it would be fine with heartier berries though.
Are these the storage containers?
I just hear the thing about the vinegar yesterday, except the recommendation was for a dilution of 1:10.
What a terrific idea to clean and keep the berries longer. I've always heard of vinegar's many uses. But this one is great. Thanks for sharing how to keep berries fresh longer!
Harold McGee recommends very hot water, though I don't recall which temperature he recommended (it's in my class notes somewhere so I'll find it again one day), he said it doesn't even have to be scalding to kill mold.
This is WONDERFUL! I hate spending so much time picking berries to only have them rot! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
I soak the berries in a small bowl with a few drops of grapefruit seed extract and let them sit on the counter for a while. After rinsing and draining them on a cooling rack to dry, I put them into any storage container. This method keeps my raspberries (which seem to be the most delicate) for a good week and they don't get partially cooked as in the NPR method. It seems like a lot of steps but those berries are pricey!
I have blackberries growing nearly wild in my garden and you have to pick them when they're ripe otherwise they'll rot on the vines. I wash and drain them well, then I freeze them on a baking sheet individually so I can pop them into a freezer bag and pull out as many as I need. They're great this way even to put on cereal, they defrost quickly and aren't mushy. Make sure you only freeze near perfect berries and use ones that might be a little past ripe. I always keep a small amount in the refrigerator for snacking but only wash them as they will be eaten. I think rinsing them with vinegar would definitely leave a lingering taste.
I wonder if white balsamic vinegar could be used for this? The taste would not be as strong as regular vinegar.
I do this but I don't spin them dry. I lay them out on a clean tea towel to dry and then put them in the fridge. Works great.
Who can resist eating raspberries long enough for them to spoil?
Ive been doing this for years, and have never once experienced a vinegary aftertaste.
The first thing I ever used to preserve fresh fruits and vegetables was the patented "Debbie Meyer Green Bag." Worked fine but wore out pretty quickly. Now you can get containers infused with the same mineral that counteracts the off-gas ethylene rotting the food. They're available at superstores, tv shopping, and department stores like Kohls and Penny's. They're expensive, but we're also wasting a lot of money if we throw food away. They work for things like bread and mushrooms, too. You can get cheaper knock-offs online, but I can't testify to their effectiveness.
i'm not a fan of vinegars smell or taste. i do use a solution of vinegar and warm water to clean my kleen canteen every few weeks when it gets a little smelly. works great and after a cold water rinse theres no vinegar smell! this might work on my togo coffee mugs too...hmmm... as for the fruit the vinegar smell will go away when its dry or you could rinse it but you might lose some of the benefits.
as for using a champagne or other vinegar i would not recommend. those typically have lower acidity (the acid is whats killing the bad molds/microbes) and those also have stronger flavors that may not disappear when dried...
All these expensive berries will not become better in taste or nutrients if stored. The best out of them you'll only get, if you eat them asap. Isn't that the fun with fresh, expensive fruit?
I remove berries from their plastic containers immediately, clean them, give them a very quick soak in cold water, pat them carefully dry with paper towels and store them in the fridge in a wide colander uncovered to let the air flow. That keeps them perfect for up to two days. Then they're eaten anyway :)
The Perfect Berry Recipe
1. Go to a pick-your-own field, and...well, pick your own. A year's supply, more or less.
2. Go home, swish in cold water, layout on paper towels with a fan on low to dry them.
3. Save enough for a few days eating, fresh.
4. Freeze the rest.
5. To eat: remove a serving for each person, thaw, and serve with goat's milk yogurt, cinnamon, minced crystallized ginger, and toasted nuts of your choice. (Or mix-n-match your favorite ingredients.
I give mine a quick rinse and let dry on a paper towel. Then I store them in a mason jar with the lid on in the frig. They seem to last longer than when I leave them in the plastic container they come in.
I store strawberries for a week the same way I keep mushrooms - In a brown paper bag in the fridge. sometimes I wash them beforehand in a bowl of cool water. I let them dry completely on a clean kitchen towel.
I do this with blueberries and they do NOT taste like vinegar! I think this is both due to it being pretty diluted and also dried completely for storage. You can always rinse them right before use, too, if you're afraid of any lingering acidic flavor.
I am lazy. I turn the plastic container upside down and the berries keep for a couple of weeks.

How to withdraw from Xanax
How you can withdraw from Xanax
Are you wanting to quit Xanax (alprazolam)? Whether you need help with Xanax addiction or physical dependence you must seek medical advice first. Why? Because alprazolam can cause severe side effects of Xanax withdrawal, you should not stop taking Xanax suddenly. Cold turkey Xanax withdrawal can provoke tremors, seizures, or thoughts of suicide. This is why it's best to talk to a doctor so s/he can slowly taper your dose of Xanax over the course of weeks or months.
So, how can you clinically withdraw from Xanax? What can you expect and how long does it take to withdraw from Xanax? More here on how to withdraw from Xanax, plus a section at the end for your questions.
When do you withdraw from Xanax?
Xanax has a depressant effect on the body, which accounts for its calming effects on the nerves and blocked feelings of anxiety or panic. However, if people use Xanax for more than a few weeks at a time, the body will develop a physical dependence to Xanax. Dependence is a condition of learned adapation when the central nervous system needs a chemical in order to function normally. So when you miss a dose or when you decide to stop taking Xanax, physical depedence manifests in the appearance of withdrawal symptoms. You generally experience withdrawal any time you are physically dependent on Xanax and reduce your dose of alprazolamby more the 50% at any given time.
Withdraw from Xanax symptoms
Common symptoms people experience as they withdraw from Xanax can include:
- a harder time going to sleep or staying asleep (insomnia)
- feelings of apprehension and fearfulness
- increased excitement and restlessness
- increased levels of anxiety
But sometimes the body will react violently as you withdraw from Xanax. Symptoms such as tremors and seizures are possible, especially in cases of dramatic dose reduction or after Xanax abuse. This is why medications for Xanax addiction treatment may be prescribed. More severe symptoms that can occur while withdrawing from Xanax include:
- abdominal cramps
- confusion
- dizziness
- increased blood pressure
- panic attacks
- paranoid psychosis
- seizures
- severe skin rash
- speech problems
- tremors
- vomiting
How long to withdraw from Xanax?
Because of the nature of Xanax as a benzodiazepine, withdrawal can take longer than other types of medications. Furthermore, withdrawing from Xanax can fluctuate between severe and mild symptoms. At first, you feel like you have withstood the worst of it only to find acute symptoms returning. This "rebound" effect takes longer to fully resolve compared to opiate withdrawal, for example. However, you can generally expect the onset of Xanax withdrawal symptoms to appear 6-8 hours after the last dose has worn off. These symptoms will peak over the next 72 hours and should even out in about two weeks. Still, it can take weeks to months before you have resolved withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety. Some symptoms may need to be addressed with another medication or via behavioral therapy.
How to withdraw from Xanax safely
To withdraw from Xanax safely, make sure that you are monitored by a physician. The most important protocol for Xanax withdrawal is a slowdecrease in Xanax doses and a tapering calendar to minimize the effects of Xanax withdrawal symptoms. Generally, benzodiazepines are reduced at a rate of 10% weekly. But each person is different and will be given individualized instruction. It is not advised that you stop taking Xanax cold turkey as the symptoms can be severe and life threatening, especially if you're abusing Xanax. Always avoid alcohol when taking alprazolam, even during withdrawal.
Can I withdraw from Xanax at home?
All cases of Xanax withdrawal should be SUPERVISED BY A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL. So before withdrawing from Xanax at home, you should first schedule a consult with your prescribing doctor. You should NOT withdraw from Xanax at home cold turkey or suddenly. But if you meet the physical and mental health requirements for home withdrawal AND have an outlined procedure you have prepared with your doctor… then yes, you can withdraw from Xanax at home. Plus, if you haven't been taking Xanax for very long then you may be able to quit Xanax suddenly without too much complication.
How to ease withdrawal symptoms from Xanax
There are a number of treatments that you can prepare to ease withdrawal symptoms from Xanax. Following are a few treatment ideas:
1. Antidepressants – It may be helpful to find an alternative antidepressant during Xanax withdrawal that is not as strong nor have as a high dependency rate as Xanax on the body. Many times, anxiety and depression is still present during Xanax withdrawaland still needs to be addressed to support the withdrawal process.
2. Detox clinics – Medically supervised detoxcan help ease the plethora of withdrawal symptoms which occur during Xanax withdrawal. Additionally, clinics can perform more rapid forms of detox, over the course of a couple of days to quickly get rid of alprazolam in the body while under supervision. Medical detox allows medical staff to address complications as they occur.
3. Psychotherapy – Behavioral therapy, psychologists and psychiatrists can help address underlying mental conditions and figure out a more helpful ways to address anxiety and panic attacks during Xanax withdrawal. Talk therapy can accompany physical withdrawal and support successful outcomes.
4. Supplements – When you can ease your anxiety you will be more likely to be successful in weaning off Xanax. You can also help ease Xanax withdrawal symptoms by replenishing your body with the vital minerals and vitamins you need such as Vitamin B, Magnesium, and Potassium to help with the agitation and restlessness. Vitamin B can help support energy and moods, which may be affected by Xanax withdrawal. Avoid St. John's Wort, as this herb can speed up the metabolism of alprazolam in the body.
5. Tapering Xanax doses – Tapering doses of alprazolam allows the body time to slowly compensate for the lack of Xanax in the body. Again, it is always best to be in communication with a doctor that canmonitor Xanax withdrawal and treat symptoms. A supervising doctor can adjust Xanax doses as required then refer you to outside facilities if you need them.
The best way to withdraw from Xanax
Since Xanax is used to treat anxiety, it is important that you do not stop taking Xanax cold turkey. There are too many variables that can affect sudden Xanax withdrawal. Instead, working with a medical professional to reduce your medication slowly over time is the best way to withdraw from Xanax. In general, doctors recommended this process occur over a period of eight weeks, but tapering can go as long as 6 months. Doses of Xanax should be reduced no more the .5mg every three to four days. Tapering allows the body time to slowly heal and rewires itself without the presence of Xanax. Tapering will help decrease most of the withdrawal symptoms. It will also give you time to figure out alternatives if you still need to treat anxiety symptoms. While tapering off Xanax may take longer than just suddenly stopping, it will also give your body time to regain balance and homeostasis without too much complication.

It has been our experience the this benzodiazepine family of drugs comes with an extremely volatile detox, especially if the drug has been in the system for longer periods of time. If in doubt of the result of the decreased dosage detox is much safer in a residential facility.
i have been taking 2 mg of xanax a day for about 5 yrs,how much should i start with taking off to wean my self of of the xanax and how log do you think it would take?
Hello Charles. The best way to withdraw from Xanax is under medical supervision. Seek the counsel of a pharmacist or your prescribing doctor for a tapering plan that is customized for you.
Greetings all! Just wanted to let everyone know that you CAN do without benzos. I was taking some type of benzo for the last 18 YEARS!! I WANTED TO QUIT. The detox is a living hell, so you need to be determined.I checked myself into rehab so I could be in a supportive environment. Still experiencing withdrawal symptoms even after 8 months clean. This is not meant to discourage you, just to let you know it IS possible.
Hello, I have been taking clonazepam for about two years at night to sleep .5 mil. I was recently in Greece and ran out of pills and was given .5 mil of Xanax which the pharmacist said was okay. Now I am worried. When I got home my shrink said to stop and start the clonazepam instead. I also take Dexadrine in the morning. I am bipolar…have been on different meds. but was running a lot and tapered off everything and was doing ok. Now I wonder what to do. I go right to sleep when I take a Xanax, but notice my temper getting worse and my eyes feel tired also loosing words and can't seem to do anything easily like write a card or cook…
Would appreciate your thoughts. thanks, Andrea
Hello Andrea. I'd suggest that you follow your psychiatrist's suggestion and stop taking the Xanax. Consult with her/him as well as a pharmacist about a tapering plan. Usually, Xanax requires a slow taper and one that is individualized for your specific medical history. Best of luck to you.
I've been tapering my xanxa for almost three months now from 1mg to .125 now for two weeks and I'm also on zoloft 50 mg for 6 months.should I stop my xanxa and stay on zoloft for now?I do want to get off zoloft to.I was on my xanxa for 20yrs.
Hello Zena. You'll need to consult with your prescribing physician before making this decision. This is a conversation you'll need to have with an MD.

LD: Definitely, and I'm still learning. The first thing is I have to brake with my right foot now because with the Porsche you must use the clutch for downshifting, so that was a big change. There are also many subtle differences like having a much bigger steering wheel. With the handling and braking, it is really like learning to drive a racecar again.
ec: Of the transition of a prototype to a GT car, JJ Lehto was once asked how it felt to go "from going through traffic to becoming traffic." I'd ask you the same question.
LD: Well, I personally don't like it because racing is all about going fast, passing people and not being passed. That's why my wife is driving me around all the time at home, so I can get used to all the cars passing me. [Laughter-we shut off tape and take five to recover.]
ec: Take us through a lap of Long Beach and highlight how you took it with your Acura LMP2 prototype versus a rear-engine GT car. On a street circuit, are there so many critical areas?
LD: Big differences under braking, and you have to be even more patient with the throttle under acceleration because exit understeer is a characteristic of this car. Always watching the mirrors for faster cars since the track is not that long, and staying focused on my own position and competitors.
ec: Your talent has brought you to a number of good teams, such as with Chip Ganassi, over your career. You set records with Adrian Fernandez and the Lowe's team. Now you're with Alex Job Racing, also a top team with a history of results. Having this support has to make the transition to GT easier.
LD: Alex is great to work with. I respect him a lot and I'm trying to learn as much as I can from him. I'm also very fortunate to be part of this team and to share the car with another great driver like Ricardo Gonzalez, who I've known for years. That helps with the transition, yes.
ec: When you signed with Fernandez to drive the Acura in LMP2, the launch was held in Los Angeles on Olvera Street. It was a clever move to bring more fans into the sport for the team and sponsors. Can you make this work with a Porsche and your main sponsor for additional coverage in your home market?
LD: I would love to do that, but it's more up to them. I'm not sure yet if they are interested in the Latino market or not, but I will be happy to help. The team was part of a street display at Long Beach that went well. About my sponsors IDN, they are new in the sport so we are trying to make them as happy as we can in hopes that they can become bigger in the future.
ec: What do you see Luis Diaz doing in ten years' time-team owner and driver? You were with one of the best with Fernandez as far as the learning curve goes.
LD: Yes, racing with Scott Pruett and then Adrian in the past, and look how competitive they still are. I'd love to keep racing after 40, but this sport is very cruel and I know how fortunate I am to be racing this year, so I'll go year by year. Then we will see.

Does the dual-citizenship recognition determine the level and the utilization of international remittances? Cross-Country Evidence
AbstractThis paper shows that countries which allow a dual citizenship status for their international migrants receive on average more remittances than others. Using a cross-section of 104 developing countries with data averaged over the period 2000-2008, I distinguish between the direct effect of the dual citizenship status (incentive to remit more) and an indirect effect which passes through migration incentives. Results indicate that the direct effect of the recognition of the dual-citizenship is higher. Finally, the paper shows that remittance inflows are more likely to foster private investment in receiving countries which recognize a dual citizenship status for their migrants. These results are robust to alternative uses of datasets on dual-citizenship codification and to the instrumentation of remittances in the private investment model.

from Not Your Run of the Mill
I love this quilt, the colors are so fresh and cool, a perfect summer quilt!
does it come as a kit for king size?
I haven't create any kits for sale in general, maybe in the further...
I printed off your update! Thank you SO much for that! I will make it for sure again! Maybe a larger one for myself. I made the original for a baby quilt, was perfect size!
I thought it was a fun quilt to make, loved it!
I recently upgraded this pattern and rewrote the whole thing from the ground up. It's a 16 page pattern, not overwhelming I promise. I have included all kinds of goodies. Fabric requirements for all 7 quilt sizes: baby, crib, lap, twin, double, queen and king on pages 3 and 4.List of fabrics used in the Red, Pink and Aqua quilt shown on page 5.Cutting instructions on page 6.Block assembly and quilt top construction on pages 7, 14, 15 ad 16. Quilt Maps of all 7 sizes on pages 8-13.
I purchased your pattern, made the quilt, but noticed you had to cut 36 sashing strips and I found that I had to cut out 49 not 36.. I also cut 30 2" squares for Corner Stones, which wasn't mentioned in the original instructions. It turned out very nice, I love this quilt! :-)
Wonderful! I have those corrections covered in the update.
Is the pattern that is available today for $4.00 have the upgraded information that you mentioned above?
I would like to purchase this as a Kit or at least be able to know where to purchase the fabrics (in the same colours as on the pattern. Thank you for your assistance
judyspayd3741727 Yes, the current pattern is update with all the goodie.
ncntrlquilter I haven't create any kits for sale in general. The red, pink & aqua quilt sample was made up a couple years ago, some Michael Miller basics are still in print but not all fabrics are available today. My favourite place to find hard to get oldies but goodies is from an independent fabric shops on Etsy.
Glad you posted about the update! I sat down to purchase the pattern, but will wait. Thanks for the extra work you did in making it versatile with sizing!
The pattern upgrade is ready. I rewrote the whole thing from the ground up.
Having read the other comments, has the pattern been updated? Your fabric selection is gorgeous, but if your pattern doesn't include assembly directions, I am a little unclear on what the pattern would be?
Hey thereI will be distributing the update within the week, May 23 the latest. This update is really pretty and of course it is stuff with information on block assembly, tip and trick, fabrics used and you can make it in 7 different sizes! I tried my hardest to have this out sooner but I was bombarded with papers, artist statements, a massive painting, insane deadlines but it all ended with a stellar BFA Grad Show. I'll send you a message once it's in the shop. I
Thank you for your speedy response, Rachel! I will be on the lookout for your message.Tracey
Red, Pink & Aqua pattern upgrade is ready!
Is the updated pattern with assembly instructions and fabric requirements for different sizes available now as of March 23, 2014?
What is the name of this fabric line please? The Red, Pink &Agua 9 patch.
Most of the fabrics are by Michael Miller in the Mini Mikes fabric line. Also from Michael Miller dots in a couple different sizes. I'm compiling at list of the exact fabrics for everyone who is asking.Rachel
Rachel, I have established some of the fabrics you have used but not all. Do you know which fabric line the red butterfly print is from? Thank you. Joanne.
I found it in Michael Miller - "Flutter Butter" but I haven't found the other ones.
When do you anticipate adding the assembly instructions to the pattern? I just bought this pattern and could really use those instructions
I bought this pattern and was very disappointed. There are no assembly instructions, so it's useless for a beginner.
Hello, I'm sorry to hear your disappointment. I hope to make the assembly instruction for the 9 patch more clear in the updated pattern. Additionally I will be adding further fabric requirements and layouts for a baby, lap, twin, full/queen quilt sizes. I would be very happy to hear from you personally about any further questions or concerns, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com
I also would like to know about this fabric. What pattern is it?
The fabrics used in this quilt are mostly Michael Miller fabrics however I cannot remember the fabric lines that were used.
I would love to know which fabric too. They are lovely.
Love to know the fabric xx
what is the fabric// I love it!!
What great colors, so crisp. I love red/white/blue. I usually use a med/dark blue, can't wait to do something in this shade of blue.
I am also wondering where the fabrics came from? I love them

SALISBURY, Md.- For a second time, a trial involving a former Wicomico High School football coach has ended in a hung jury.
Prosecutors allege that 45-year-old David Nettles of Salisbury inappropriately touched a teenage student back in 2000 and 2001.
In January of this year- following a trial resulting in a hung jury- a Wicomico County Circuit Court judge declared a mistrial.
This second trial, which lasted only two days, wrapped up Monday afternoon. After deliberating for several hours, the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict. And just like the first trial, a mistrial was declared.
Wicomico County State's Attorney Matthew Maciarello said the state has "great confidence in our victim," and added that his office has not foreclosed its options in this case.
"We intend to meet with our victim, the law enforcement officers that were involved in this investigation, and we will determine our next course of action," Maciarello said.

Pima County's new smoking policy isn't necessarily sweeping nor is it too strict.
It's in place more to remind county employees that's it's a problem health wise. Smoking costs about $18,000 more in health care costs per individual.
The county is looking towards a healthy county employee as a way to hold down health care costs to save taxpayer money.
If the county begins to randomly test its employees for tobacco use, then we're talking about a strict policy. Right now, it's voluntary. The county will also pay to help workers stop smoking.
However, there is a smattering of conversation about testing sometime in the future. That would be a way to save on health care premiums but it might lead to some agitated workers.
The county unanimously passed a new policy statement at it's weekly meeting. It bans the use of tobacco products on most county properties and facilities.
Parks, according to the county ordinance, are exempt.
People can still light up in a Pima County park but they cannot in a Pima County parking lot.
Where ever people congregate, tobacco use is discouraged.
While it mostly covers county employees, it also extends to vendors or people who attend county sponsored functions.
Some supervisors used the vote to explain their opposition to smoking.
"My father died from emphysema brought on by smoking," District 4 Supervisor Ray Carroll said before the vote.
Retiring District 1 Supervisor Ann Day said her father died from the same disease, also brought on by smoking.
The smoking ban is part of a healthy employee push being made by the county. In the past few years, workers have been encouraged to eat healthy, exercise more and now, smoke less.
Whether is has an impact, studies are still years away.
But if the county sees its health care budget drop, stricter measures may not be implemented.
District 5 Supervisor Richard Elias says "It is in fact impossible to make an argument for having a place for people to smoke, impossible to do that."
He said he wants to make sure "our employees understand that we are moving forward on this."
Just how far forward is yet to be seen.

Auckland was the first major city to celebrate 2013 but the honour of first nation went to the central Pacific Ocean island of Kiritimati (Christmas Island) and the eastern-most island in the tiny nation of Kiribati.
In Sydney, celebrations were billed the "world's largest" as 7 tons of fireworks were fired into the night-sky, with a reported cost of over $6-million Australian dollars ($6.2 million CDN).
Tens of thousands of people lined the Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong to view the city's biggest ever New Year's celebration - officials placed the cost of fireworks at 12.5 million Hong Kong dollars ($1.6 million CDN).
Festivities were especially joyous for the people of Myanmar.
Residents in the former capital of Yangon gathered to party for the first time after decades of military rule that discouraged public gatherings.
New Year's was brought in on a sombre note in New Dehli, India as a mark of respect for a young women that recently lost her life after being raped.
Officials decided to cancel planned festivities and instead asked residents to light candles in support of the victim, whose death has drawn public rallies for women's safety.
In Dubai, they say everything is done bigger and the New Year's party was no exception as the world's tallest building was lit-up.
Fireworks engulfed the 828-metre Burj Khalifa tower, while also being synchronized and choreographed to a live performance by the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.

Our good friend and Heidelberg rep Kymber came by with Heather Price, brand manager for Milbrandt Vineyards from Washington State:
Milbrandt Vineyards Pinot Gris Traditions 2008. Grade=Outstanding. Lots of melon and pear shine in this light-bodied presentation of Alsatian-inspired PG. Nice bit of spices, peaches and fig in there as well.
Milbrandt Vineyards Chardonnay Traditions 2007. Grade=Average. Some tropical fruit aromas and flavors intermingling with some creamy vanilla, maple candy and coconut pie. I just get the feeling that the fruit is slowly making its way toward the door, and is leaving the party without any goodbyes.
Milbrandt Vineyards Riesling Traditions 2007. Grade=Outstanding+. Excellent example of why Riesling is King in Washington. Honeyed peaches, Clementine zest, Rainier cherries and orange blossoms abound in this semi-dry white wine.
Milbrandt Vineyards Rosé Traditions 2008. Grade=Outstanding. Tasty little saigneé of Syrah, this light-bodied pink accents a nice balance of wild strawberries, red raspberries and dragonfruit notes. A hint of spice and some mineral undertones add complexity.
Milbrandt Vineyards Merlot Traditions 2007. Grade=Outstanding. Juicy dark plums are playing around with red cherries, fresh blueberries, a dash of mocha, caramel and some extroverted baking spices in an all-out good time at the playground that is your palate. Supple, generous and full of joy.
Milbrandt Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Traditions 2007. Grade=Outstanding. Darker and richer than its sibling, there are playful notes of black currants, loganberries, blackberry jam, mocha espresso, milk chocolate, some spicy cedar and toasty oak tones.
