They are all one level, and do need to be trimmed very close as Steve said.
They are also very thin, and you need to treat them carefully...I've blown a couple of smaller decals off, probably by trying to move them once on...as Dave said,
they do tend to stick well "right now"..So be careful and re-wet them if necessary before trying to reposition them.
You wont be disappointed, just go easy and take your time.

i had some issues with them wanting to stick like "right now" and not being able to move them around. i spoke with a few other modelers about it and they didn't have the same issues, so it must be my method. they are thin and fragile though so go easy on them.
Many do it yourself decal papers are very thin and require a slightly different technique. Most kit decals I've used will let you slide the decal off onto a finger, paint brush etc then place it on the kit. With many of the aftemarket decal papers used to print your own decals the film is very thin and you really need to slide the decal directly from the paper onto the kit or it will fold, roll up, tear or some other nasty thing. Many of the aftermarket decal makers are just using this same type of blank decal paper with an ALPS or similar printer, although some of the larger ones do have their decals screen printed like those in model kits. Screen printing is nice but the places I've seen that will do it require large batches (1000+) which is a bit of an investment.
I've also found if you use Future and Microsol or similar decal solution decals tend to adhere quickly. I'm back to using plain water and I only put the setting solutions on after the decal is in place.

Hi guys, I was wondering something about the Keith Marks decals, are they "slide off" the decal paper type decals (like the type that would come with a standard kit) or do they needed to be trimmed, I guess what I am trying to ask is are each individual decal raised on the decal sheet like with a revell kit or is the whole decal sheet flush with all the decals and each individual piece in need of tight trimming before you use it? I was just wondering? Thanks.
No such thing as a dumb question ! Check your local hobby shop for #11 surgical blades, they fit right into your Xacto knife body . Trim the decal as close as you can , they are all a one piece sheet , put it into the water , they come off fast ! Slide the decal partially onto your knife blade and place it where you want it to go . Be sure that the area you lay it on is wet ! Putting a drop of dish detergent in your decal bowl will help any decal from sticking and it will help clear off the excess glue from the decal, preventing that milky film look after it drys if not smoothed properly. Use a damp , soft , piece of tee shirt to gently press the decal in place and to dry it . Keith's decals are the best badge replacements on the market. With a little practice , you'll not want to use anything else. If it does screw up , take a small piece of scotch tape , press it on the decal and it will pull right off with no harm to the paint . You can do this with any decal ! Word of caution ... Be very careful with the surgical blades , they are beyond sharp ! They make the regular xacto blades seem like butter knives!

Baldwin senior lands caddie scholarship
TribLIVE Sports Videos
David Shoemaker never thought he'd receive a full scholarship for college, especially through caddying, which he's done as a summer job since eighth grade.
"It was just a way to make some extra money," said Shoemaker, who is a senior at Baldwin High School.
At the South Hills Country Club caddie banquet, Shoemaker learned about scholarship opportunities, including local and regional ones, and decided to apply for the national Chick Evans Caddie Scholarship in the summer.
"That's like the mac daddy," Shoemaker said. "That's the full-ride."
Nationally, nearly 750 caddies submitted a two-page essay, while meeting other requirements like academic excellence and an outstanding caddie record.
When Shoemaker learned he was a finalist, he didn't know what to think.
"Late January, I found out I was a finalist," Shoemaker said. "I was like, 'what?' I did not expect to make it this far. I just thought there would be something that would hold me back from getting it."
An interview and one "fat package" later, Shoemaker was a recipient of the highly sought-after scholarship, which is renewable for four years.
At Baldwin, Shoemaker is a member of the boys' tennis program and an editor for the school newspaper. He also played golf for three years.
The accumulation of academics, extracurriculars and an exceptional caddie record made Shoemaker an ideal candidate for the Evans scholarship, according to Western Golf Association manager of caddies and scholarship development Tim Orbon.
"He really showed us he had the ability to excel in the classroom and outside of the classroom," Orbon said. "That's really a big portion of what we're looking for."
In his five years at South Hills Country Club, Shoemaker learned that caddying is more than just showing up and carrying someone's golf bag.
"As caddies, we handle some of Pittsburgh's most successful people," Shoemaker said. "You handle them for four hours. That's something not even their employees can say."
It's that type of interpersonal communication Orbon believes make caddies well-rounded individuals coming out of high school, preparing them for productive college careers.
"I think that's where they learn the skills," Orbon said. "It really just sets you up for success."
The Evans scholarship foundation has houses at 14 colleges around the country, and plans to keep adding to that number as scholars can be found at other top universities.

Plant City, Florida - Can you imagine going on a road trip and being away from home overnight but you're not able stop and use the bathroom, get a hotel room or even eat a hot meal where you'd like because of the color of your skin?
That's what life was like for African-Americans during segregation. That's when an invisible line was drawn separating blacks from whites through Jim Crow laws.
But at the Plant City Bing Rooming House at 205 S. Allen Street African-Americans were welcome. Guests included James Brown, the "Godfather of Soul" and Satchel Paige, who was called the greatest pitcher ever in Negro League Baseball. Blues legend Muddy Waters also stayed at the rooming house according to William Thomas, Jr.
The Bing Rooming House opened in the 1920's and was the only place they could stay due to segregation.
Janie Bing, a teacher, owned the rooming house and she made sure all of her guests whether they were famous or not
were able to get a good night's rest and some hot food.
James Washington would know about that. Janie Bing was his grandmother. He was born in the front room of the house. He was raised there and would eventually work there too while growing up.
Washington says, "She was a connoisseur of good soul food. Collard greens, macaroni and cheese." He adds, "The front porch out there was like a meeting spot and people in the community - different business people would come over here and have a chat play checkers and talk."
He also says the rooming house was right in the middle of everything because the house was in what was considered the black business district. Washington says it was a very prosperous area. My people were the pillar of the community. Most of them were educators.
He says the talk at the house many times centered around the dreams and hopes of integration.
Though the house was left to Washington, at 67 years old, he decided instead to allow it to be turned it into a community museum through the help of a non-profit group, the Improvement League of Plant City.
William Thomas, Jr. is the Vice President of the organization and says, "We want individuals to come out and understand the significant role that Plant City played in the overall history of Hillsborough County."
It's an effort made easier through the help of James Washington who is making a difference hoping his grandmother's legacy and the civil rights struggle in Plant City is never forgotten.
The Bing Rooming House museum is undergoing an expansion which should be completed in May.
Meanwhile you can take a tour of the museum which is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10:30 a.m. until 2 p.m. On Tuesday and Thursday it's open from 11:30 until 2 p.m. Saturday guests can take a tour from 10:30 a.m. until 2 p.m.
Admission is free.

The Baltimore Ravens have terminated the contract of guard Bobbie Williams, who played in all four playoff games for the Super Bowl champions. The 36-year-old Williams played 13 regular-season games with Baltimore after signing as a free agent before the 2012 season. The 13-year veteran played previously for Philadelphia and Cincinnati. Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome says, ''Bobbie is first-class in every way. ... We thank him for helping us win the championship.'' The 6-foot-4, 345-pound Williams started six games for Baltimore and was a positive influence in the locker room. Ravens coach John Harbaugh says, ''To come in here for one season and fit the way he did says a lot about him. We are all better for having Bobbie on the Ravens for a season.''

Spain's elBulli restaurant to reopen for lucky few
MADRID (AP) - Spain's famous elBulli restaurant will temporarily reopen later this year as renowned chef-owner Ferran Adria trains actors for a movie based on his iconic but shuttered eatery.
Lucky gourmands will dine at the seaside Mediterranean landmark or in Hollywood if a decision is made to recreate the restaurant there.
ElBulli closed in July 2011 after maintaining an almost unattainable Michelin three-star status for over a decade. It was rated the world's best restaurant five times by British magazine The Restaurant, with Adria often cited as the planet's most talented and imaginative chef.
Adria told The Associated Press on Thursday that meals will be served to clients during the training sessions. A lottery system is possible for the general public, or Adria and movie executives could pick the diners.

Each week, we bring you the latest whisky news on WhiskyCast, but a lot can happen during the week. Now, you can keep up with whisky news as it happens here on WhiskyCast.com!
March 13, 2015 – With Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne's UK budget announcement less than a week away, Scotch Whisky Association leaders are turning up the pressure on calls for a cut in taxes and duties on whisky and other spirits. The SWA released data from HM Revenue & Customs today showing a 4.78% decline in domestic Scotch Whisky sales during 2014, based on a drop in the number of 70cl bottles sold to 83.3 million during the year. In 2013, the equivalent number was 87.5 million, and the drop has been steady since 2009 when 92 million bottles of Scotch were sold in the UK.
According to the SWA, 78% of the retail price of an average bottle of Scotch sold in the UK goes directly to the government in taxes and duties. In the 2014 budget, Osborne froze taxes on whisky and other spirits while also scrapping the so-called "duty escalator" that automatically raised duties 2% above the annual rate of inflation each year. In a news release, SWA Chief Executive David Frost called for a 2% cut in spirits taxes in this year's budget, which is scheduled to be released on Wednesday (March 18).
"Scotch Whisky is a massive export success for the UK so it's obviously disappointing to see this decline in volumes in our domestic market. In next week's Budget the Chancellor has the perfect opportunity to support an important UK industry. He should cut spirits duty by 2%. This move would also benefit consumers and public finances. In last year's Budget, the Chancellor highlighted Scotch Whisky as a 'huge British success story'. We hope this year too he will show his support for this world-class manufacturing industry."
Frost noted that the UK has only cut spirits duties three times in the last 100 years, and UK residents pay the largest share of spirits duties within the European Union. According to the association, UK residents pay 25% percent of all spirits duties collected within the EU, compared to 15% by the French, 14% by the Germans, and 5% by Spanish residents.
Last month, a senior Treasury official told Parliament that the coalition government recognizes the economic value of the Scotch Whisky industry and its impact on rural areas, while not committing to a cut in duties.

March 12, 2015 – Irish Distillers is adding a new "bottle your own" feature at its visitors centers in Dublin and Midleton, just in time for St. Patrick's Day. Visitors to the Old Jameson Distillery in Dublin and the Jameson Experience at the Old Midleton Distillery will be able to fill their own bottle of an exclusive Jameson Irish Whiskey straight from the barrel.
Jameson Select Reserve Cask Strength Black Barrel is a new expression produced just for the two visitors centers, and is based on the Select Reserve Black Barrel introduced several years ago. The whiskey is blended from single pot still whiskey and a small batch grain whiskey distilled at Midleton Distillery in County Cork, and is only produced once a year. While the retail version is bottled at 40% ABV, the "bottle your own" version's strength will depend upon the individual cask being emptied. Visitors will fill out individual labels for their bottles with the ABV, cask number, date, and their name – along with entering the data in the center's ledger. The price for the unique 70l bottles is €100 ($106 USD).

March 12, 2015 – The mysterious reappearance of Johnnie Walker Green Label at North American retailers in recent weeks has been solved. Sharp-eyed whisky lovers in the US and Canada noticed new stocks of Green Label appearing at retailers starting in mid-February, but no one at Diageo was able (or willing) to explain at the time whether the bottles were new or previously unsold stocks that had been sitting in a warehouse.
Diageo has started responding to inquiries through the official Johnnie Walker US Twitter account, and posted this notice in response to our tweets trying to answer questions from listeners.
A Diageo North America spokesman says Green Label is not returning permanently to the Johnnie Walker range, but is also not a limited-edition release. It will be available through 2015, with a decision to be made on future availability later this year based on sales. While Diageo executives had said in 2012 that Green Label production was to be discontinued, it apparently has still been produced for sale in Taiwan and a small number of other markets. The decision to bring it back in North America was based on an allocation of Green Label becoming available, along with consumer and trade demand as well as the brand's 10th anniversary.
The 15-year-old blended malt has been the only one of its kind in Diageo's Scotch Whisky portfolio since its introduction in 2005. Speculation over the reappearance was rampant on social media in recent weeks, with some retailers telling us they had been advised that the new stocks had been "found", while others questioned whether the new stocks had been previously for sale elsewhere and relabeled for sale in North America. That option was highly unlikely since Green Label bottled for sale outside of North America was packaged in 700ml bottles, while the US market requires 750ml bottles and Canada allows either size.
Editor's note: This story was updated on March 21 with additional information.

March 4, 2015 – Adm. Peter Cressy has announced his plans to step aside as CEO of the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States at the end of the year, following nearly 16 years at the trade group's helm. The 73-year-old retired US Navy Rear Admiral plans to return to the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, where he previously served as Chancellor and remains a tenured professor in the University's business school.
In a news release, Cressy was quoted as telling DISCUS directors last week that the time has come for a transition to new leadership, given that the association's new strategic plan has been completed. The association will begin a nationwide search for a new CEO, and plans to hire an executive search firm to help with the process. Möet Hennessy USA CEO and DISCUS Vice Chairman Jim Clerkin will head the search committee. "We are particularly pleased that Dr. Cressy has promised to stay on as long as necessary to ensure a smooth transition to a new CEO," Clerkin said in the news release. "In the meantime, we are confident that Dr. Cressy's strong leadership and our outstanding staff will ensure another strong year for the DISCUS team and the spirits industry."
Under Cressy's leadership, the association was successful in modernizing liquor laws and regulations at the federal, state, and local level. He was also instrumental in expanding the industry's international reach with the creation of an export promotion program, and spearheaded the project to restore the historic distillery at George Washington's Mount Vernon estate in Virginia.
March 2, 2015 – A hearing originally scheduled for today in the proposed class-action lawsuit against Maker's Mark has been cancelled. U.S. District Court Judge John Houston issued an order canceling the hearing on a motion by attorneys for Maker's Mark to dismiss the lawsuit accusing the Bourbon brand of misleading California consumers with claims that it is "hand-made" at the Maker's Mark Distillery in Loretto, Kentucky. Judge Houston's order states that the court has enough information from both sides to issue his ruling on the order without oral arguments, with a ruling expected "in due course."
The lawsuit was filed in December by lawyers representing plaintiffs Safora Nowruzi and Travis Williams, with a request to expand the plaintiff class to include all California residents who purchased Maker's Mark within the past four years. The suit claims that Maker's Mark labeling violates California's false advertising and consumer protection laws by billing the Bourbon as "hand-made," when it comes from a distillery using extensive amounts of machinery. The lawsuit seeks at least $5 million in damages, along with punitive damages and attorneys' fees.
In its motion to dismiss the lawsuit filed January 16, attorneys for Maker's Mark and brand owner Beam Suntory argued that the complaint falls within California's "safe harbor" doctrine protecting businesses from claims, since all of the brand's labels with the "hand-made" language have been reviewed and approved by the US Treasury Department's Tax & Trade Bureau. In addition, the motion argued that a reasonable consumer would not be misled by the labeling.
"The reasonable consumer analysis starts, of course, with common sense. And common sense dictates that "handmade" bourbon does not mean, as Plaintiffs would have it, that every step of the process—from grinding the grain to affixing the label on the bottle—was done by hand and without the use of any machinery. Moreover, as evident from Plaintiffs' own allegations and information referenced in their Complaint, the Maker's Mark label could not have misled a reasonable consumer to believe that the entire process for making the bourbon was done by hand, because Maker's Mark publicly discloses its process for making bourbon. Indeed, as Plaintiffs allege in their Complaint, Maker's Mark's public website contains detailed information about the production process. What's more, the Maker's Mark label expressly invites consumers to visit its website and contains the website address. Given these facts, a reasonable consumer could not plausibly believe that the bourbon is literally made entirely by hand and without the use of any machinery."
In their response, attorneys Abbas Kazerouni, Mona Amini, and Joshua Swigart argued that the "safe harbor" defense does not apply in this case, since it is intended to cover laws and regulations, not agency actions such as a TTB label approval process.
"It would contravene public policy and reason in general to immunize an alcohol manufacturer from consumer fraud suits because the labels of its products had been approved by the TTB. Unlike, for example, the FDA's "rigorous" pre-approval process for drugs, the TTB's approval of alcohol labels hinges on self-reporting. 2 Thus, the TTB's approval of Defendant's label demonstrates nothing more than that Defendant repeatedly affirmed to the TTB that its product is truly handmade. It does not suggest that if the TTB had known the true process by which Maker's Mark was actually made, it would have concluded that Defendant's label complied with federal law."
The two firms have also filed a similar lawsuit against Beam Suntory's Jim Beam brand based on similar claims. Beam Suntory spokesmen have declined to comment on either case, citing a company policy against commenting on pending litigation.
Editor's note: We have provided links in this story to the actual court filings in the lawsuit. Note that in civil cases, the arguments made by either side are not considered to be proven as fact until argued in open court.

March 1, 2015 – For Bourbon lovers, it seems like the "Bourbon Boom" has been going on forever. Not true, according to Chris Bauder, general manager of Whiskies and Cognacs for Beam Suntory. During his keynote address at last Tuesday's Whiskies & Spirits Conference in New York City, Bauder pointed out that US whiskey sales have only risen in three of the last 25 years — the last three. By comparison, vodka sales have risen in 23 of the last 25 years and tequila sales have risen for 23 consecutive years. "When people ask if this is a trend that is going to continue, we think it has a very long runway," he said, citing recent sales figures showing growth among all sectors of the whisky industry.
Bauder points to several key factors for the "Bourbon Boom." Whisky's recent return to relevance as a cultural touchpoint through references on popular television shows such as "Mad Men" and "Boardwalk Empire" helped draw attention back to brown spirits, leading to the often-cited growth in interest among women. Bauer cited a demographic shift showing that more women now drink spirits in general than men, with a relatively even split between the genders in whisky consumption. He also referred to the emphasis on innovation and new product development, with the recent trend in flavored whiskies and the growth of craft distillers opening up the flavor profile of whisky to new consumers. At the other end, the boom in premium and unique expressions are bringing connoisseurs back to the Bourbon sector.
Listen to Mark Gillespie's interview with Chris Bauder:
Before joining Beam in 2011, Bauder was a senior marketing executive at consumer goods giant S.C. Johnson & Co., and learned quickly that solving the perceived shortage of whisky isn't as simple as that for other products. "If you want more Windex, you put more chemicals and water together and you get more Windex," he said in an interview following his speech. "That was a revelation…wait a minute, how can this allocation be what it is," referring to small supplies of whiskies from Beam Suntory's distilleries and the need to balance global demand with short supply.
Bauder said Beam Suntory will invest hundreds of millions of dollars over the next several years to expand whisky production at all of its facilities worldwide, but cautioned consumers to expect more whiskies without age statements. "Everybody…Scotland, Japan, and the US are struggling with this, and one of the things that's been encouraging is brands like (The) Macallan which first did it have actually been quite successful because the liquid's good and the way they blend has actually given them a good taste, plus the concept around the naming has been really interesting to consumers."
"I think talking people away from age statements is helpful…it's an easy way to think older is better, but brands like Maker's Mark or Woodford Reserve haven't traded in age statements and they're doing just fine."
In 2014, Beam Suntory removed the 8-year-old age statement from its Jim Beam Black Bourbon and introduced the no-age-statement Laphroaig Select, and Bauder said that practice will be extended to Beam Suntory's Hibiki range this year. "You're going to see your first one coming in July of this year in the US, and they're going to be launching in April in Japan." Bauder also confirmed that Beam Suntory plans to expand its Japanese whisky portfolio across the US. In the past, Suntory and its US importers focused on a handful of major cities, but part of the reason for Suntory's $16 billion acquisition of Beam in 2014 was to expand the footprint for its Japanese whiskies as well as acquire new brands for global distribution.
Editor's note: This story has been updated to remove Chris Bauder's reference to a Yamazaki Sherry Cask bottling being planned for a US release in 2015. According to a company spokesman, Bauder misspoke, and there are no plans to release one this year.

February 28, 2015 – Whistlepig Rye will be releasing the first in its "Old World Series" of three wine cask-finished expressions in the coming days leading up to a new permanent expression this summer. The first release will be a 12-year-old Sauternes cask finish, with a 12-year-old Madeira finish and a 12-year-old Port finish to follow.
"By June, we're going to release the first real line extension, and that line extension will be a married finish that combines the best of the Sauternes, Port, and Madeira," said Master Distiller Dave Pickerell during an interview at Whisky Live New York Wednesday night. "I can't tell you the percentages, because the percentages will be at least in part determined by the feedback from consumers and bartenders that taste the products." While the final version will be widely available, the three individual finishes will only be available in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and other major US markets.
Listen to Mark Gillespie's entire interview with Dave Pickerell:
Pricing for the three individual finishes was not immediately available.
Pickerell said construction work continues on the WhistlePig Farm Distillery in Vermont following final environmental approvals from the state. The stills are scheduled to be installed in June, and Pickerell hopes to begin distilling around July 4th. "I intend to celebrate with a marching band and fireworks," he said.
WhistlePig is also updating its labels to reflect the whisky's current Canadian origin at the request of the US Treasury Department's Tax & Trade Bureau. Ironically, the TTB had earlier insisted that the Canadian origin be removed from WhistlePig labels once Pickerell's team started doing secondary maturation at the farm in Vermont. "The government came back and said wait a minute, it's not a product of Canada any more because the Canadian juice is now an ingredient, so take 'Product of Canada' off the label," Pickerell said. "With all the fluff that's been going on recently, the government came back and said, yeah, can you put Canada back on the label again…so it makes us look stupid."
Pickerell is also working with Hillrock Estate Distillery in New York on a peated single malt that will be released later this year, and is also working with the J. Reiger & Co. Distillery in Kansas City. In addition, he will be making whiskey at George Washington's Distillery at Mount Vernon in Virginia later this month.

February 26, 2015 – Duncan Elphick's retirement plans are on hold for at least a month. The owner of the Highlander Inn and its renowned whisky bar had planned to close on a sale to longtime colleague Tatsuya Minagawa this weekend. However, paperwork snags have delayed the closing until at least the end of March.
"I'm wanting to get out and enjoy some time for myself, and Tatsuya's wanting to buy it," Elphick told WhiskyCast's Mark Gillespie in a telephone interview today. "We're going through the process at the moment…it's been a bit delayed because of lawyers, but we're now looking at the 30th of March as being the handover date." Elphick said health issues a couple of years ago prompted him to start looking for a buyer to continue the tradition he started when he left the Craigellachie Inn across the street in 2005 to buy the hotel. "I want some time for me before the Grim Reaper decides that he wants to call me."
Minagawa was Elphick's bar manager and right-hand man from 2005 until three years ago, when he left to work as a European brand ambassador for Suntory. He continued to live in Craigellachie, though, and expressed an interest in taking over the inn as soon as he heard Elphick was thinking of selling. "He's the ideal purchaser for the property, because he knows the business, he knows these whiskies, he knows what we've been doing before, and he wants to take it and build it further," Elphick said.
Elphick hasn't decided on what he will do after his retirement, noting that "I'm not one of these people that likes to count eggs until they're hatched."

February 25, 2015 – Production is scheduled to resume later today at Diageo's Burghead Maltings in Moray, Scotland, following a fire inside one of the facility's kilns Tuesday night. Firefighters from as far away as Inverness spent about 12 hours fighting the fire at the facility, which supplies malted barley for Diageo's malt whisky distilleries in the Speyside region.
A Diageo spokesman told WhiskyCast via email that the fire was confined to one of the facility's seven kilns, which are used to dry wet barley at the conclusion of the malting process. The damage is reported as minor, and there were no injuries reported.
There is no word on what caused the fire.

I have been adopted and I have a new bunny friend who was adopted from the shelter a year ago!
I am a very sweet & friendly girl. I have good litterbox habits and am easy to handle. I would be a great first house rabbit, or I would be a good candidate to be a friend to your single bunny! I get along well with other rabbits, and I'm hoping there's a bunny friend in my future. I love greens (what rabbit doesn't!) and find dandelion greens particularly tasty. I also have very expressive ears that are always moving.
If you are interested in me as a friend for your single rabbit, please bring him/her to the shelter any Saturday or Sunday between noon-5pm to have a "bunny dating" bonding session with me!
I am waiting for you at the Oakland Animal Shelter, so no need to email or anything if you want to meet me, just come on down and visit! I am already spayed, so I could go home with you the same day. You can find directions and hours on our website. The adoption fee for a rabbit at Oakland Animal Shelter is $35.
Gorgeous hand-gilded frame with free form tempered glass and found objects mosaic. The story is one of freedom---breaking our of out patterns to rejoice and enjoy what life has to offer-right now.

Hypertension is another term used to describe high blood pressure. High blood pressure can lead to stroke, heart attack, heart failure, kidney disease, and early death.
You are more likely to have high blood pressure as you get older. This is because your blood vessels become stiffer as you age. When that happens, your blood pressure goes up.
Alternative names
Controlling hypertension
When is your blood pressure a concern?
If your blood pressure is high, you need to lower it and keep it under control. Your blood pressure reading has 2 numbers. One or both of these numbers can be too high.
- The top number is called the systolic blood pressure. This reading is too high if it is 140 or higher.
- The bottom number is called the diastolic blood pressure. It is too high if it is 90 or higher.
If you've had a stroke or you have heart or kidney problems, your doctor may want your blood pressure to be round 130 to 140/80 mm Hg.
The blood pressure numbers listed above are goals agreed upon by most experts for most people. Yet your doctor will always consider how these goals apply to you specifically.
Medications for blood pressure
Many medicines can help you control your blood pressure. Your doctor will prescribe the best medicine for you, monitor your medicines, and make changes if needed.
Older adults tend to take more medicines overall. This puts them at greater risk for side effects, which can be harmful. One side effect of blood pressure medicine is an increased risk for falls. When treating older adults, blood pressure targets need to be balanced against drug side effects.
Diet, exercise, and other lifestyle changes
In addition to taking medicine, you can do many things to help control your blood pressure.
- Limit the amount of sodium (salt) you eat. Aim for less than 1,500 mg per day.
- Limit how much alcohol you drink -- no more than 1 drink a day for women and 2 a day for men.
- Eat a heart-healthy diet that includes the recommended amounts of potassium and fiber.
- Drink plenty of water.
- Stay at a healthy body weight. Find a weight-loss program, if you need it.
- Exercise regularly -- at least 30 minutes a day of moderate aerobic exercise.
- Reduce stress. Try to avoid things that cause you stress, and try meditation or yoga to de-stress.
- If you smoke, quit. Find a program that will help you stop.
Your doctor can help you find programs for losing weight, stopping smoking, and exercising. You can also get a referral from your doctor to a dietitian. The dietitian can help you plan a diet that is healthy for you.
Checking your blood pressure
Your blood pressure can be measured many places, including:
- At home
- Your doctor's office
- Your local fire station
- The pharmacy
Your doctor may ask you to keep track of your blood pressure at home. Make sure you get a good quality, well-fitting home device. It is best to have one with a cuff for your arm and a digital readout. Practice with your doctor to make sure you are taking your blood pressure correctly.
It is normal for your blood pressure to be different at different times of the day.
It is usually higher when you are at work. It drops slightly when you are at home. It is usually lowest when you are sleeping.
It is normal for your blood pressure to increase suddenly when you wake up. For people with very high blood pressure, this is when they are most at risk for heart attack and stroke.
Your doctor will give you a physical exam and check your blood pressure often. With your doctor, establish a goal for your blood pressure.
If you monitor your blood pressure at home, keep a written record. Bring the results to your clinic visit.
When to call the doctor
Call your doctor if your blood pressure goes well above your normal range.
Also call your doctor if you have any of the following symptoms:
- Severe headache
- Irregular heartbeat or pulse
- Chest pain
- Sweating
- Nausea or vomiting
- Shortness of breath
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Pain or tingling in the neck, jaw, shoulder, or arms
- Numbness or weakness in your body
- Fainting
- Trouble seeing
- Confusion
- Difficulty speaking
- Other side effects that you think might be from your medicine or your blood pressure

text: Hi all, I'm finding the formula functions very useful, but I would like to be able to do maths with VEnums. For instance, I would like to do something like: ='myEnumPV'>1?"Good":"Bad" I started looking at how I could write formulae to do this, but it seems messy to have to duplicate every single VNumber formula, when what I really want to say is "take a VNumber and use .getValue() or take a VEnum and use .getIndex()". Here my java falls down and I get lost in the interfaces. Any ideas? Is this possible?

Gallery: 6 Eco Burial Options for a Green Afterlife
Nadine Jarvis
Nadine Jarvis has created the ultimate afterlife memento for authors and scribblers everywhere. Coming in a flat wooden box, Jarvis creates a set of pencils from human ash ( a body yields on average around 240). The special container allows only one pencil to be withdrawn at a time. The pencil is sharpened on the side of the box, which holds the ash sharpenings. When the last pencil is used, the box becomes an urn, holding the remaining ashes.

Here is an interesting example of the grave.

I really like the Gem idea – one could have their loved ones past on and on… I understand that they are not really "green" but it would be a better alternative than burial ( all that wasted space!
Josh Treybig February 21, 2013 at 7:01 pm
Actually none of these options are green because they all require cremation first which is not green in the least. The amount of propane it takes to burn the body (which takes hours) and the release of chemicals like mercury from fillings and formaldehyde goes into the atmosphere. So sadly no, none of these options are green at all.

Among the topics discussed were Apache's security module Modsecurity and Parameter Injection (FPI) and Spearfishing attack techniques. Prof. Li Chiou Chen and his colleague Chienting Lin explained how they use open-source software to teach students about web application security. On November 25. OWASP is hosting a one-day conference in Frankfurt, Germany, and are also represented at the 2008 IT Systems exhibition in Munich these days.

Athens (AFP) - 08:54 GMT - Greek exceptionalism - Ireland, Italy, Spain and Portugal, all eurozone countries that had to accept tough austerity measures to satisfy international creditors, will keenly watch what concessions, if any, are granted to Greece to prevent it tumbling out of the euro now that it has rejected similar creditor demands. "Greece should not be given any special treatment," said economist and former Italian PM Mario Monti, dubbed "Super Mario" for his leadership of his country at the height of the eurozone debt crisis. 08:52 GMT - All eyes on ECB - All eyes were on the European Central Bank following the resounding 'No' in the Greek referendum, with the ECB seen as the only institution capable of calming market panic and preventing the Greek economy from collapsing.

Obama drama
Love him or hate him, Mr. President is stickin' around for
four more years. It's time to stow your bellyaching and move forward…with the
folks who don't necessarily agree with you. That doesn't mean you have to stifle your opinion. If someone asks,
tell 'em what you think. But do so politely.
Facebook fury
Your FB friends are constantly carping about moving to
Canada. Or rubbing it in your face that Romney (gulp) lost. Deep breath. This
sitch has an easy fix. Just hide the FB status from the friends who are more
vocal about their political views (or switch the updates you see from all/most
to important). Just don't start unfriending people willy-nilly. That'll just
add to the drama.
Supper scream-a-thon
You love dear old dad, really you do, but if he mentions
that the election was a sham one more time, you're gonna turn your spoon into a
catapult. Get ready to load up those peas… But wait! Before you let your
veggies fly, try changing the conversation topic. If you jump in to any and
every silence with an update on your swim team training or the cool book your
class just read in English, Dad won't be able to get a word in edgewise.
Best bud breakdown
All your friends want to talk about it how their candidate
should have won, or how their candidate should rock your socks, too. After a day of rehashing the election, it's
totally cool to tell your chicas that your tired of talking shop 24/7. Ask 'em
to pick another topic…or you're gonna hit the art room to get a little work in
on your painting. Ciao!

The Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee
The Congressional Internet Caucus Advisory Committee is the most prominent and industrious educational program on Capitol Hill for Internet policy. Its mission is to harness the collective policy expertise of Internet stakeholders — public interest groups, trade associations, non-profits, and Internet companies. It's a neutral platform where thought leaders debate important technology issues that shape legislative and administration policy in an open forum. We vigilantly adhere to our mission to curate balanced and dynamic debates among Internet stakeholders.
The State of the Net Conference Series
The State of the Net is America's premier Internet policy conference series. It brings together Internet stakeholders in government and in the private sector to explore the potential of a decentralized global Internet to promote communications, commerce and democracy.
Congressional App Challenge Coalition
Congressional App Challenge Coalition promotes computer coding skills and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education by recognizing and incentivizing our nation's young programming talent. The Coalition proudly serves as the official STEM advisor to the House of Representatives' Student App Challenge.
