3M Announces The Hire Our Heroes Campaign To Help Support Rehabilitation And Training And Drive Employment In The Collision Repair Industry For America's Returning Veterans And Their Families. (Graphic: 3M)
As America's troops are returning home they are facing unprecedented unemployment rates. Their challenge is to match their military skills and training with career opportunities here at home. 3M recognizes the need for qualified technicians in the collision repair industry and is creating an opportunity for returning veterans to find rewarding careers with the right education and support.
3M, one of 15 corporations honored by the U.S. government as a "Freedom Award Recipient," and its Automotive Aftermarket Division are ready to help with the new 3M Hire Our Heroes campaign to help provide training and support for the nation's returning veterans and their families.
3M is partnering with the Collision Repair Education Foundation, the National Auto Body Council, and Operation Comfort to help support rehabilitation and training and drive employment in the collision repair industry for America's returning veterans. The goal of the 3M Hire Our Heroes campaign, which kicks off in January 2013, is to donate up to $250,000 to benefit returning veterans and their families. The donation is based on the sales of select popular 3M products to qualified distributors.
"The men and women who have served our country bring excellent training and skills, a commitment for doing the job correctly, a passion for intellectual achievement and a strong work ethic – all tremendous attributes for employment in today's collision repair industry," said Dale Ross, U.S. Marketing Operations Manager for 3M Automotive Aftermarket Division."Our industry needs qualified repair professionals with the necessary skills to keep pace with the evolving repair standards," added Ross. "We are committed to helping repair facility owners and managers around the country get the capable, qualified repair professionals they need to perform at the high standards expected in today's collision industry while honoring the tremendous service of our military men and women." This program will provide funding for education of the nation's returning veterans and their families through the Collision Repair Education Foundation. The grants and scholarships will help cover tuition, books and classroom materials, and tools and equipment for returning veterans and their families. Veterans and their immediate families will be able to apply for 3M Hire Our Heroes grants and scholarships beginning January 1, 2013, through www.CollisionEducationFoundation.org. "The Collision Repair Education Foundation does an excellent job of identifying great candidates for scholarship assistance and promoting high-quality education for collision repair professionals at schools throughout the country," said Ross. "We're proud to work with them to support training for these deserving veterans and their family members."

Royal Pains Review: Ties That Bindby Chandel Charles at . Comments
There's only one word to describe this week's Royal Pains: heartbreaking.
After after episode of struggling with Lupus, Jack finally lost his battle with the disease.
Indeed, "Hank and the Deep Blue Sea" will go down as one of Royal Pains' most emotional outings to date, and those emotions were at their height in the final few seconds.
I had always thought HankMed would likely lose its first patient (in Jack) this season, but there was a certain subtlety to it that still managed to have me tearing up. I honestly expected this to occur in the finale. Then again, we would have to wait many months to see the impact, which at that point the event itself would have lost its intensity.
Props to Tom Cavanagh for his outstanding performance throughout his stint on this series. Jack had a sense of genuine humanity as a character that Cavanagh lived inside of and emoted to the fullest extent at every moment.
This was a difficult show to incorporate this arc into, being typically lighthearted, and to nail a serious storyline is now undoubtedly within the capabilities of this cast. Congratulations.
I sincerely thank the writers for taking the time and care that they did with the Lupus storyline. As I have mentioned before, someone very close to me struggles with the disease on a daily basis. She is one of the strongest people I know, and for Jack to be portrayed with such vulnerability and simultaneous dignity was much appreciated.
That said, there was a whole lot of other sides to this week's episode. Let's start with Divya and Evan.
I think this is the friendship we'd almost lost sight of in some sense. Before Paige entered the picture, I have to admit, I was a bit of a Divya and Evan shipper. After a while, I downgraded that to a realization that these two are best friends. And, as Evan put it, they are even family now.
So when we heard Evan trying to sell of some of their stocks, I knew that he was trying to find Divya a way out of her financial obligation to Raj and his parents. That, to me, truly does say that they are close enough to be family. Which is why I also appreciated that Evan tried to sit down with Raj to get to the middle of what was going on between Raj and Divya, clearly mistaking it for something it wasn't... how embarrassing!
Then, there was the return of Boris and Marissa and their baby boy. They weren't much featured much, aside from the appearance of Claudette Von Jurgens-Ratniscz, who came with iPad proof that Dieter had been arrested in Germany.
What does this mean for the so-called family feud? That's yet to be determined. My question is: Can Claudette be trusted?
Given Evan's reaction to the package she wanted delivered, the answer is a resounding NO. But nothing is ever quite as it seems with Boris.
Were you as much of a wreck as I was after the episode ended? What did you think about Hank being bestowed the title of godfather?
C. Charles is a TV Fanatic Staff Writer. Follow her on Twitter.Tags: Royal Pains, Reviews
@Anne.......was it Dr Rollins?????
They don't know yet if there is going to be another season???? Really????? Pretty emotional episode. I'd say it's one of the best they've done. I agree that Tom Cavanaugh should get an Emmy for his performance..... If anyone's seen the previews you know Hank tells Evan he's not arguing with him anymore about expanding HankMed.....I think that is why Evan bought Divya's shares......even though they are still Divya's.......he's going to somehow use that to his advantage...........to get over on Hank...
What was the doctors name that helped with Cavanaugh in the last 2 episodes.
I loved this episode and think that Tom Cavanagh should get an Emmy for his portrayal of Jack. I agree with the reviewer C Charles-somehow I also don't trust Claudette. Can't wait for next week's season finale episode. Let's hope that Royal Pains gets renewed for a season 4
Agreed - Excellent episode...
...EXCEPT for the actress who played Boris's cousin. WHat the hell was that accent supposed to be? There were times it sounded vaguely Swedish, at others almost - but not quite - French. Besides that, though, it was very touching and very well handled in both of its primary story lines. I'm goign to miss Cavanaugh, too. He showed great range in this and there was real chemistry between Jack and Hank and Jack and Jill. His delivery of the line "Don't treat me like a sick person" was spot-on - not melodramatic - and something one often hears from people who become defined by a disease or condition.
Ooops...Sorry should have finale not finally. Don't want to get anyone upset.
@anonymous....Perhaps you should edit your own. Most people start a new sentence with a capital letter and the I have contraction has an apostrophe (I've). Do you see how stupid that is to mention? Get a life. Now, lets get back to important stuff. I loved this episode. I'm so sorry to see the end of Jack. I'm going to miss him and really felt for Hank. I love that Evan is acting all "big brother" for Divya, it has shown how their relationship has grown. I still think Raj should have been a man and helped her with the payments to her parents. I hate that the finally is next week already.
I miss Jack already :( I loved Evan's comment that HankMed was started by two brothers and a Divya. Next week will be an emotional episode. Hank didn't must lose a patient, he lost a friend.
FINALLY...some closure to the Boris storyline--even if it came from a LOUSY, wooden actress.
i have a great idea for an episode. we live in an adirondacK community (ZIP 13420). IN THIS TOWN THERE IS AN EXCUSIVE CLUB WITH PRIVATE LODGES FOR THE VERY WEALTHY. i think a great story would be the character's like boris visit a relative there. there is a private lake no motor boats but they also keep their elegant wooden pwer boats on a chain of lakes near by.the plot a night boat accident in the fog, the hospital is 50 miles away (true) medical center in town barely has the ability to do physicals. too foggy tu medivac the the injured. thus a emt ambulance ride with hank and a very well qualified volunteer emt. the result a happy ending in appreciation the wealty patient gives a $1,000,OOO TO BRING THE HEALT CENTER IN TO THIS DECADE

Drugs A - Z
Guarana (Paullinia cupana)
Generic Name: guarana
CategoryHerbs & Supplements
Brazilian cocoa, caffeine, caffeine-tannin complex, Dark Dog Lemon®, elixir of youth, gift of the gods, Go Gum®, guarana bread, guarana gum, guarana paste, Guarana Rush®, guarana seed paste, guaranin, guaranine, Guts®, Happy Motion®, Josta®, mysterious Puelverchen, pasta guarana, Paullinia, Paullinia cupana, Paullinia sorbilis, Sapindaceae (family), Superguarana, tetramethylxanthine, Uabano, Uaranzeiro, Zoom®.
Guarana is a native species of South America and has stimulating properties when taken by mouth. Guarana is also used to enhance athletic performance and to reduce fatigue. It has been used in the past as an aphrodisiac, diuretic, astringent, and to prevent malaria and dysentery, diarrhea, fever, headache, and rheumatism.
The active ingredient in guarana was formerly called guaranine (tetramethylxanthine), but was later found to be caffeine. Guarana has one of the highest caffeine contents of all plants (up to 7%), and has been used by manufacturers for its caffeine content (e.g., Dark Dog Lemon®, Guts®, and Josta®).
Although there is no scientific evidence that guarana itself increases mental alertness, its relationship to caffeine makes it probable that it would possess the same effects. It is proposed that the stimulatory effect of guarana is more gradual and sustained than caffeine due to the caffeine-tannin complex. Guarana is generally regarded as safe when not combined with other stimulatory agents, such as ephedra.
EvidenceDISCLAIMER: These uses have been tested in humans or animals. Safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider.
Cognitive enhancement:
Guarana has not been shown to alter cognitive function or arousal in preliminary studies. Caffeine found in guarana may improve simple reaction time, but may not improve immediate memory. Additional study is needed in this area.
Grade: C
Mood enhancement:
Caffeine may have positive effects on mood, and may increase alertness and feelings of well-being. Limited research has been conducted on guarana in this area, and more study is needed.
Grade: C
Weight loss:
Caffeine has been used as a weight loss agent due to its thermogenic effects (the process of fat or calorie burning caused by increasing heat output). In available studies, guarana has been studied with other herbs making it difficult to draw a conclusion based on the effects of guarana alone. Additional study is needed in this area.
Grade: C
TraditionWARNING: DISCLAIMER: The below uses are based on tradition, scientific theories, or limited research. They often have not been thoroughly tested in humans, and safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider. There may be other proposed uses that are not listed below.
Aphrodisiac, appetite suppressant, asthma, astringent, chronic diarrhea, cocaine withdrawal, dermatitis, diuretic, dysentery, enhanced athletic performance, fatigue, fever, flavoring agent, headache, heart conditions, lower back pain, malaria, migraine, platelet aggregation inhibition, rheumatism, skin conditions, stimulant, stress (heat), tonic (nerve).Studies have been performed with caffeine, a prominent constituent of guarana, for allergic rhinitis, apnea (pause in breathing) of prematurity, asthma, atopic dermatitis, bronchiectasis (a chronic lung disease), cancer, cardiac disorders, electroconvulsive therapy (a procedure in which an electric current is briefly applied to produce a seizure), exercise, exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, extubation (removal of the breathing tube), fecundability (monthly chance of pregnancy), fertility, fibromyalgia (chronic musculoskeletal disorder), headache, hyperactivity, hyperkinetic pediatrics, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), kwashiorkor (severe malnutrition), migraines, minimal brain dysfunction, necrotizing enterocolitis (inflammatory disease effecting the intestinal tract), neuroleptic-induced catalepsy (rigidity of the extremities and by decreased sensitivity to pain), pain, Parkinson's Disease, postprandial hypotension (low blood pressure), post-surgery pain, seizure, sore throat, stroke, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS).
Adults (over 18 years old)
There is no proven effective dose for guarana. Teas, capsules and energy drinks are all commercially available. For cognitive enhancement, a single dose of 150 milligrams guarana dry extract, standardized to 11-13% alkaloid concentration has been used. One gram of guarana up to four times a day has been taken to relieve diarrhea or dysentery. As a diuretic, 486 milligrams of guarana daily has been used. One to two tablets or capsules (200-800 milligrams guarana extract) before breakfast or lunch, not to exceed 3 grams daily, has reportedly been used for energy enhancement.
Children (under 18 years old)
There is no proven safe or effective dose for guarana in children.
SafetyDISCLAIMER: Many complementary techniques are practiced by healthcare professionals with formal training, in accordance with the standards of national organizations. However, this is not universally the case, and adverse effects are possible. Due to limited research, in some cases only limited safety information is available.
Avoid in individuals with a known allergy or hypersensitivity to guarana (Paullinia cupana), caffeine, tannins or related species of the Sapindaceae family. Caffeine, a prominent constituent of guarana, may have an inhibitory effect on type-I allergic reactions.
Side Effects and Warnings
Guarana is generally well-tolerated. A majority of information related to adverse effects of guarana is based in theory upon the adverse effect profile of caffeine. The effects of caffeine are likely more pronounced at age extremes, in the elderly and in children. The chronic use of caffeine, especially in large amounts, may produce tolerance, habituation, and psychological dependence. Abrupt discontinuation of caffeine can result in physical withdrawal symptoms including headache, irritation, nervousness, anxiety, and dizziness.
Caffeinism and caffeine withdrawal may be indistinguishable from anxiety neurosis (physical symptoms of anxiety), and caffeine intoxication may cause psychosis (mental disorder). In various cases, anxiety disorders and somatic dysfunctions could be linked to caffeine intake. However, in a study of schizophrenic inpatients, no correlation was found between levels of anxiety, depression or other behavior, and caffeine consumption. Caffeine has been reported to increase mental alertness, physical energy, enhanced mood and physical performance and endurance. Avoid use in patients with psychological or psychiatric disorders as guarana may exacerbate symptoms.
Seizures, muscle spasms, and convulsions have been reported from caffeine overdose. Lifetime caffeinated coffee intake equivalent to two cups a day without daily milk consumption (or calcium intake below RDA) in women as has been associated with significantly decreased bone density, and bone loss in older women. Use cautiously in individuals at risk for osteoporosis, as caffeine may increase urinary excretion of calcium. Cases of rhabdomyolysis and myoglobinuria have been related to toxic effects of caffeine. Caffeine-induced insomnia has also been extensively studied.
Consuming large amounts of caffeine per day may increase the risk of breast disease, tachycardia (increased heart rate) or high blood pressure, although there is controversy in this area. Nevertheless, use cautiously in patients with pre-existing mitral valve prolapse, as intractable ventricular fibrillation has been reported in a case associated with high dosage caffeine consumption.
Several studies have found no connection between coronary heart disease and habitual coffee drinking. The Framingham Study did not find an association between coffee-drinking and atherosclerotic (hardening of the blood vessels) cardiovascular disease in the general population. In another large study, there was no significant association between coffee consumption and angina (chest pain).
An increase in blood glucose may occur after low caffeine ingestion. Caution is advised in patients with diabetes or hypoglycemia, and in those taking drugs, herbs, or supplements that affect blood sugar. Serum glucose levels may need to be monitored by a qualified healthcare professional, including a pharmacist, and medication adjustments may be necessary.
Theoretically, the caffeine in guarana may increase the bioavailability and absorption of tannins, and thus decrease the absorption of nutrients. Weight loss, delayed gastric emptying time, and perceived gastric fullness have been attributed to a combination guarana product also containing yerba maté and damiana. "Burning in the stomach," worsening of ulcer symptoms, and urticaria ("hives") have also been reported.
Guarana may increase the risk of bleeding. Caution is advised in patients with bleeding disorders or taking drugs that may increase the risk of bleeding. Dosing adjustments may be necessary.
Adverse effects reported secondary to ingestion of a combination of ma huang and guarana included insomnia, anxiety, headache, irritability, poor concentration, blurred vision, and dizziness. Other symptoms include hyper-excitation, tremor, nervousness, cerebral infarction (stroke), changes in voice quality, and palpitations (with and without chest pain). Avoid use in combination with other stimulatory agents, especially ephedra, due to reports of death and permanent disability associated with this combination.
Ingestion of caffeine has increased intraocular pressure in two glaucoma patients. Use cautiously in individuals with glaucoma.
Guarana may produce a diuretic effect. A reduction of caffeine may reduce the episodes of leakage per day in patients with symptoms of urinary frequency, and/or urge incontinence. Caffeine may cause dysuria (difficulty or pain urinating). High caffeine intake has been shown to worsen the condition of detrussor instability (unstable bladder) in older women. Use cautiously in patients with impaired kidney function.
Use cautiously in individuals with an iron deficiency due to possible association with the development of anemia.
Avoid in patients with liver impairment, as the clearance of caffeine may be impaired.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Studies on caffeine, the active constituent in guarana, indicate that consumption of caffeine may increase certain risks in pregnant women, although there is controversy in this area. For instance, high levels of caffeine consumption may result in delayed conception among women who are nonsmokers. Several studies found an association between caffeine and low birth weight. Heavy caffeine intake throughout pregnancy may increase the risk for SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). Three cases of birth defects have been associated with excessive caffeine intake. Studies in pregnant women drinking moderate amounts of caffeine have shown inconsistent results, with more recent studies reporting no adverse effects on the fetus.
Caffeine consumption may increase the risk of an early spontaneous abortion among non-smoking women. Heavy caffeine consumers reporting nausea had a doubled risk for spontaneous abortion. Light caffeine use has been associated with risk for spontaneous abortion among women who aborted in their last pregnancy.
Caffeine is readily transferred into breast milk. Infant caffeine ingestion can lead to infant sleeping disturbances. The effect of other substances contained in guarana is unknown. Breastfeeding may inhibit the caffeine metabolism in infants due to human milk components. Babies from mothers who consumed large amounts of caffeine daily have experienced tremors, and some experienced cardiac rhythm disturbances.
Interactions with Drugs
Although the interactions for guarana are quite limited, there are numerous theoretical interactions based on guarana's caffeine content.
Caffeine combined with analgesics (pain relievers) has been reported to increase analgesic effects. For example, in treatment of migraine, a combination of N-acetyl-para-aminophenol acetaminophen (APAP), aspirin, and caffeine was found to be highly effective. Caffeine may also be beneficial when taken with ibuprofen or propyphenazone. Caffeine increases the peak plasma concentration, rate of absorption and bioavailability of aspirin. The addition of caffeine to aspirin has significant benefits on mood and performance. An aspirin/butalbital/caffeine/codeine combination is considered superior to acetaminophen/codeine in relieving oral surgery pain.
Caffeine is an adenosine antagonist and inhibits A1-receptors. Therefore the actions of caffeine are directly negated by adenosine and adenosine directly negates the effects of caffeine.
Alcohol consumption may increase caffeine serum concentrations and the risk of caffeine adverse effects.
There is one case report of ischemic stroke after the nasal ingestion of amphetamine and caffeine. Caution is advised with this combination.
Caffeine has been reported to have antiplatelet activity, and may increase the risk of bleeding when taken with drugs that increase the risk of bleeding. Some examples include aspirin, anticoagulants ("blood thinners") such as warfarin (Coumadin®) or heparin, anti-platelet drugs such as clopidogrel (Plavix®), and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as ibuprofen (Motrin®, Advil®) or naproxen (Naprosyn®, Aleve®). Caffeine was also shown to attenuate the hemodynamic response to dipyridamole, a rheologic agent that inhibits platelet aggregation.
Caffeine may also alter blood sugar levels. Caution is advised when using medications that may also alter blood sugar. Patients taking drugs for diabetes by mouth or insulin should be monitored closely by a qualified healthcare professional, including a pharmacist. Medication adjustments may be necessary.
Caffeine may interact with benzodiazepines. When lorazepam and caffeine were given and mental performance tests were administered and compared, the effect of caffeine counteracted both the effect of reducing anxiety and the reduction in mental performance caused by lorazepam alone. Caffeine with diazepam (Valium®) may produce similar results by counteracting the drowsy effects and mental slowness of diazepam. The caffeine in guarana may also negate the hypnotic effects of pentobarbital. Sedative doses may need to be monitored.
Concomitant use of guarana may increase the inotropic effects of beta-adrenergic agonists.
Caffeine may alter the effects of carbamazepine (Tegretol®) and reduce the bioavailability. Consult with a qualified healthcare professional, including a pharmacist, as dosing adjustments may be necessary.
The antihistamine cimetidine (Tagamet®) may decrease caffeine clearance by inhibiting the microsomal metabolism of caffeine. Caution is advised in patients taking cimetidine along with caffeine or guarana.
The antibiotic ciprofloxacin (Cipro®) significantly inhibits caffeine elimination. Caution is advised in patients taking certain antibiotics and caffeine.
Caffeine taken with the antipsychotic clozapine (Clozaril®, Leponex®) may increase the risk of unwanted side effects, such as tardive diskinesis, hallucinations, and akathisia. Caution is advised.
Concomitant use of central nervous system stimulants and caffeine may increase the risk of stimulant adverse effects.
Caffeine may interfere with the way the body processes certain drugs using the liver's "cytochrome P450" enzyme system. As a result, the levels of these drugs may be decreased or increased in the blood, and alter the intended effects. Patients taking any medications should check the package insert and speak with a qualified healthcare professional, including a pharmacist, about possible interactions. Examples of agents that may interact include riluzole or fluvoxamine
Numerous agents alter the clearance, metabolism, and pharmacokinetics of caffeine when taken concurrently. For instance, when caffeine is taken with the steroid agent dexamethasone (Decadron®), the clearance of caffeine may increase. Antibacterial agents such as enoxacin may significantly inhibit caffeine elimination. Impaired iron metabolism and microcytic anemia may occur in infants of breastfeeding women consuming caffeine. Methoxsalen and mexiletine have been shown to decrease the clearance of caffeine. Concomitant use of birth control pills and caffeine may increase serum caffeine concentrations and increase the risk of adverse effects, as birth control pills decrease the rate of caffeine clearance. Disulfiram decreased clearance of caffeine in normal volunteers. Caffeine administration in patients pretreated with quinolones (norfloxacin or pipimidic acid) may result in decreased caffeine clearance. Caffeine degradation may be impaired by phenytoin (Dilantin®), an anticonvulsant drug.
Caffeine may increase diuresis, urinary sodium, potassium and osmol excretion. Caution is advised in patients taking other diuretic agents, due to additive effects.
Ephedrine in combination with guarana may increase blood pressure and therefore the risk of stroke and other cardiovascular events. Thermogenic synergism between ephedrine and caffeine may enhance the activity of ephedrine. Theoretically, pseudoephedrine (Sudafed®) would be expected to have the same effect on blood pressure when used in combination with guarana.
Caffeine may enhance the effectiveness of ergotamine tartrate (Cafergot®) in the treatment of migraine headaches. Caffeine may enhance topically applied (on the skin) hydrocortisone in the treatment of atopic dermatitis.
In preterm infants, caffeine has been found to be equivalent to theophylline in altering erythropoietin production, a hormone made in the kidneys. Theophylline is also used as a bronchodilator agent, and given to asthmatics. Caffeine may decrease total body clearance and elimination rate of theophylline. Caution is advised.
In a case report, esmolol was an effective treatment of caffeine toxicity resulting from a suicide attempt of ingesting excessive amounts of caffeine.
Caffeine may increase the renal (kidney) clearance of lithium and may reduce the plasma levels in stabilized patients. Abrupt discontinuation of a consistent caffeine intake may cause an increase in lithium tremors and an increase in serum lithium levels. Monitoring of doses may be necessary.
Although not well studied in humans, caffeine and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) may cause encephalopathy (degenerative brain disease), neuromuscular irritability, hypotension (low blood pressure), sinus tachycardia (increased heartbeat), rhabdomyolysis (potentially fatal disease involving destruction or degeneration of skeletal muscle) and hyperthermia (abnormally high body temperature). Consult with a qualified healthcare professional, including a pharmacist, to check for any interactions.
Caffeine may have additive effects on cardiovascular parameters when taken with nicotine. Concomitant consumption of caffeine and cigarettes during pregnancy may place the developing fetus at higher risk for diminished growth.
The combination of phenylpropanolamine and caffeine caused a manic psychosis in one woman with no previous history of mental disturbances. It is noted that phenylpropanolamine can increase the peak levels reached by caffeine by almost four-fold. An additive increase in blood pressure has occurred when using the combination of phenylpropanolamine and caffeine. Caution is advised.
Terbinafine (Lamisil®) is an antifungal agent that may increase serum caffeine concentrations and increase the risk of adverse effects. Caution is advised when taking terbinafine concurrently with caffeine.
Verapamil is a calcium channel blocker agent. When taken with caffeine, verapamil may increase the risk of side effects.
Interactions with Herbs & Dietary Supplements
Herb and supplement interactions associated with guarana are predominantly theoretical and generally based upon the adverse effect profile of caffeine.
Caffeine may increase the risk of bleeding when taken with herbs and supplements that are believed to increase the risk of bleeding. Multiple cases of bleeding have been reported with the use of Ginkgo biloba, and fewer cases with garlic and saw palmetto. Numerous other agents may theoretically increase the risk of bleeding, although this has not been proven in most cases.
Caffeine might increase or decrease blood sugar levels. Caution is advised when using herbs or supplements that may also lower blood sugar. Blood glucose levels may require monitoring, and doses may need adjustment.
Bitter orange may add to the possible hypertensive (blood pressure increasing) effects of caffeine. Caution is advised in patients with high blood pressure or those taking other herbs that have blood pressure altering effects.
Other caffeine containing products (black tea, cocoa, coffee, cola nut, green tea, yerba mate, etc.) used in combination with guarana may have additive effects.
Caffeine may interfere with the way the body processes certain herbs or supplements using the liver's "cytochrome P450" enzyme system. As a result, the levels of other herbs or supplements may become too low in the blood. It may also alter the effects that other herbs or supplements potentially may have on the P450 system.
Caffeine may increase the flow of urine (diuresis), and may have additive effects with other herbs or supplements that have diuretic effects.
Avoid use of combination products of ma huang (ephedra) and guarana due to the reports of death and permanent disability associated with this combination (such as Metabolife-356®).
Caffeine may interact with herbs with estrogenic effects; caffeine metabolism was inhibited in postmenopausal women using hormone replacement estrogen.
Impaired iron metabolism and microcytic anemia may occur in infants of breastfeeding women consuming caffeine. Caution is advised.
Caffeine and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) may cause encephalopathy (degenerative brain disease), neuromuscular irritability, hypotension (low blood pressure), sinus tachycardia (increase heartbeat), rhabdomyolysis (potentially fatal disease involving destruction or degeneration of skeletal muscle), and hyperthermia (abnormally high body temperature).
Additive effects on cardiovascular parameters may occur with nicotine or tobacco. Concomitant consumption of caffeine and cigarettes during pregnancy may place the developing fetus at higher risk for diminished growth.

I've fished my entire life and never caught one of these, and never actually seen one in person. I know many consider it a trash fish but I'm just happy that I can mark it off my list. I'll tell you what...those suckers are strong as hell, fight to the death and are not hard to clean, contrary to popular opinion.

For pastor Kyle Searcy, planting a new church was like waiting for his first child to be born. Find out how exhilarating the experience was.
Here is an example of a common question I receive:
My church is not growing. People come, but they do not stay. We've analyzed all the majors and feel we are doing what we should, but they do not stay. Any thoughts, please?
I receive something similar almost weekly. I wish I had answers every time. I don't. Most of the time, I know they can't afford a consultant (or don't think they can but should consider the investment), so I try to give them a few suggestions, in the limited time I have, to think through their issues.
Based on research and anecdotal evidence, I estimate that nine out of every 10 churches in America are growing at a slower pace than their communities—if they are growing at all. That is not a good sign for the church in America.
Through the feedback I've received on my blog over the past two years, it has become overwhelmingly evident that the spiritual health of churches and pastors is of great concern. Many have asked how to transform the churches in the 90 percent that are not growing into ones like the 10 percent that are.
This is no easy task, but it can be done.
I believe the most overlooked key to growing a church is this: We must love unbelievers the way Jesus did. Without His passion for the lost, we will be unwilling to make the sacrifices necessary to reach them.
Jesus loved lost people. He loved spending time with them. He went to their parties. From the Gospels, it is obvious that Jesus enjoyed being with seekers far more than being with religious leaders. He was called the "friend of sinners" (Luke 7:34). How many people would call your church that?
Jesus loved being with people and they felt it. Even little children wanted to be around Jesus, which speaks volumes about what kind of person He was and what kind of pastor He'd be. Children instinctively seem to gravitate toward loving, accepting people.
If your church has plateaued in its growth for a while or shows signs of being unhealthy, things may need to change, and the pastor is the point person to produce positive change in any church's culture.
Having said that, leading a church through change is difficult, and sometimes it can be detrimental if you don't consider some important questions before starting the process.
Three aspects of change you should evaluate before shaking things up are:
A few months after we started New Song Church, I began to pray about how our little church could play a part in Jesus' Acts 1:8 vision for the church. How could a young church like ours play a part in reaching our Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the uttermost parts of the world?
Fast-forward 20 years, and God has done exceedingly abundantly above what we could ask or imagine. By His grace, New Song has played a measurable part in planting 163,000 churches around the world. Those 163,000 churches have seen over 7 million come to Christ.
I recently asked myself, "How did this happen?"

Yves posted on Friday on the FontFeed about a couple of campaigns by Inlingua promoting their business English courses. One of them is this brilliantly animated advert, creating a battlefield scenario out of words set all in Helvetica caps. As Yves says:
The video looks and feels like a first-person shooter war game, with excellent POV camera work and sound design. The camera runs and ducks through the environment, hiding behind walls and in trenches, while being assailed from all sides by helicopters, fighter jets, tanks, and explosions made of type.Yves Peters, The FontFeed.
The thing I like especially, and it's one of those great detail things, is the sound of voices mingled with the explosions, gunfire and engine noises. It's not overt, but it's a really nice touch. Go and take a look (and listen).
Sunday 10th May 2009
While browsing Ffffound I, er, found a few of the images from this article on Things To Look At on a new book about Geigy's design and advertising. Some of the examples just call out to be traced - especially the bugs on the pesticide packaging. The illustration for Neocid is quite gloriously morbid - there's no doubt at all what this stuff is designed to do, even without reading the tagline, "A barrier to house vermin". The thin white barrier - of death.
The examples make pretty consistent use of (I would guess) Berthold's Akzidenz Grotesk, with a few other bits of interesting lettering on things like the herbicide and pesticide packaging above. I traced as best I could the letters from the photos, and though I'm not sure what typeface it is (if it is even a typeface) because of the flat curves and how closed the letterforms are, it reminds me just a little bit of House Gothic 23.
One thing that interests me on some of the examples is the Geigy roundel logo (at right). It's so at odds with the simple wordmark used elsewhere, and with this other logo on Grain Edit, that I'm wondering where it came from - and where it went. I'm not saying it's any great loss - I find it rather ugly - but it is very curious, and I will admit the treatment of it in one of the examples (detail below) is rather appealing. Does it have historical relevance I wonder?
It's a logo that works best in multiples, which might explain why it went. Perhaps the book has the answer. And on that note, I would link directly to the book on the publisher's site, but they don't have individual pages for them so I can't. It's in this list. Look for dolphins.

Coincidentally, not long after coming across Character, I found this article about the Berlin Museum of Letters on Core77 (via NOTCOT). Obviously enough it's a museum devoted to letters, big ones created for building signage and wayfinding in wood, metal, glass and plastic. Core77 has some beautiful photographs and a bit of background info on each one. I really, really, want the DaimlerChrysler ones; so shiny! Lovely stuff, go and take a look.

I keep meaning to post about Preserve. I had the image ready and everything, then Mark tells me about a big update to the site. It's a project to record the painted signs on old buildings and other parts of the urban fabric before they fade completely, are painted over or are destroyed by demolition. Most of the pictures are of New Zealand buildings, but there are a few from elsewhere, including a great Bovril one in Brixton below.
The project also invites contributions, so you can help expand the scope of the site. I think something the site does need is a bit more context - it's a general complaint I have about the subject of "found type" in general: the lack of context or place in the images. They are nice to look at though, so perhaps I shouldn't complain too much.
On the topic of found type, you may also be interested in the archive of Found Type Friday posts on Ace Jet 170. There's some beautiful examples in there, so take a look. There are several pages of it, the pagination link is the little '»' at the bottom.

Grain Edit found a great collection of vintage Porsche posters for sale. Well, some of them are for sale because a lot are already sold, buy they can be seen in the VP Racing poster archive. I've had a good look through them and I love the ones by Atelier Strenger - to me they make the 60s and 70s the golden age of Porsche posters - such tight composition, typesetting and use of photography! I've traced a couple of examples of type from this Strenger one and the numbers from this Holz one. Lovely stuff.
Update: Eric Strenger's work is a clearly rather special, but there's precious little out there about him. There's a little bit here, where it says he designed the Porsche logotype… and yet, there's virtually nothing online. Anyone know of books/biographies on the guy?
Update 2: Moritz sent this link to a short biography of him. Looks like the preferred spelling of his name is Erich too.
Saturday 4th Apr 2009
Ah, the things you see on Twitter. Just now @Elianneke linked to this Torontoist article about the hand-painted signs at Honest Ed's. Yes, they're hand-painted, in one department at least, by Wayne Reuben and a colleague called Douglas. I bet Honest Ed's could do a good sideline in selling used signs online - I'd buy some.
Of course, there are more photos of the signs on Flickr, including this one, which I could quite happily have on my wall:
Sunday 29th Mar 2009
Here's a great collection of science and techology adverts from the 50s and 60s, full of wonderful illustration, type treatments, vintage logos and some pretty inspirational layouts. I've got a few details of some of my favourites below, but be sure to have a good look through the set as there's a load more in there that are great, such as this, and this. There are a few other interesting Flickr sets by bustbright too, including this collection of Bebrauchsgraphik covers which I'm going to have a look through. This one is great.
So there are some of my favourites. The top row is that combination of rough-textured painting and precise drawing that characterises mid-century graphic design. I love it. Below those are some nice type and logo treatments: that ampersand, for example, is made from an orbiting particle, yet sits halfway between the classic and commercial ampersands. Interesting! After that there's six illustration styles: a dramatic JPL illustration which looks like a Victorian steampunk device for testing space-age technology; a cold-war classic world map with presumably The Crossbow of Progress overlaid on it; then a ghostly green hand of A-OK (don't try this gesture in Turkey); a lovely space scene which I think could do without the little globe inset above the text; a spare and sharp layout and illustration for Philco - though the outline drawing of the computer looks like something demanded by the client rather than part of the original design; then an advert promising a level of defence from incoming missiles that even today we don't have. Old adverts are great.
Sunday 29th Mar 2009
I've been following the excellent Cooper Typography Blog for a little while now, and recently Sasha pointed me to his article on Alfred Mahlau, with a short biography and a large collection of images of his work. Of course I've traced a few of them below. The lettering is distinctive and highly geometric - the curves are all based on circles - and has some attractive ligatures. As Sasha said in his article, the treatment of some of the umlauts is attractive - replacing the diacritic with a digraph when writing Lübeck. Check out the rest of the site; it's got great articles, fascinating examples and links (you may lose a day or three with this one), and is definitely well adding to your RSS/bookmarks.
Sunday 8th Mar 2009
If you like mid-20th Century print advertising, and like a lot of it, then this page on diskursdisko may well be just for you. It's a collection of links to various pools on Flickr containing hundreds of scans of old adverts and promotional materials (mostly, but not all, from the mid-20th Century), and is quite a trove of old type, lettering and illustration. I've found quite a few inspirational things on there, including this great General Electric illustration. It reminds me a bit of The Stepford Wives (the 1975 film, not the 2004 one) - they're not selling freezers, they're selling exultant joy here. I mean, if getting a GE freezer really made you that happy, wouldn't you want one?
Gosh, doesn't she look happy? I love the beautiful brush strokes, they're so satisfying to trace.
Saturday 29th Nov 2008
I've been following this series of articles by Johnson Banks about their Art from Barrels project for Glenfiddich. The aim of the project was to get across the length of time it takes to make a barrel of Glenfiddich Single Malt, and the end results are pretty interesting. I haven't got all that much to say about it, especially as the articles explain it all pretty well, other than to say I've discovered I like sandblasted letters in charred wood:

Child that doesn't listen!
Find a Conversation
|Sat, 04-06-2013 - 4:35pm
I need advice on how to handle a 4-year-old that doesn't listen! Won't listen to his mommy, his daddy, me, his teachers, or anyone else for that matter. He thinks he can run around and do whatever he damn well pleases. His mother stopped trying with him, which is exactly how I feel like handling this situation sometimes, but I know I have to keep pushing on. For his sake. His daddy, my hubby, has a heart condition, and it makes for dealing with this unruly child even harder for him. His teachers have talked the school board into hiring one person in to work with specifically him. Terrible thing is, he's close to getting kicked out because he won't listen, won't stop fighting (kicking and hitting) the teachers. He bites the other students, and steals their toys. When we are here at home, he won't let us give him a bath, so we pretty much have to hold him down in the tub to even get him smelling halfway decent. He's starting to get a lot bigger and stronger (bigger than most kids his age). I am at my wits end. Spanking doesn't work. Taking away his toys doesn't work. Neither does timeouts. He's unruly, and really hard to handle. I NEED HELP!!!!!!!! He's in behavioral classes for toddlers. They just don't seem to be helping, in fact, making him worse. Any advice?
|Sat, 04-06-2013 - 5:58pm
Have you consulted with his pediatrician? Has he had a specific diagnosis? If he needs one on one help in school it doesn't sound like typical 4 yr old behavior. I would ask a professional for help on how to deal with him.

Perhaps a "hidden" light has been left on i.e. glove box, trunk, under hood etc.
Perhaps you have an excessive parasytic battery drain, or bad voltage regulator circuit not opening when vehicle is shut down.

Reebok Women's Performance Essentials Slim Fit Capris 53 53
Just what I was looking for Very comfortable and easy to move in. I wear these for a "bootcamp" class and have not tried distance running in them so can't comment if they stay up but they work great for my needs. December 17, 2014
Love Them! These fit great! They run past your knee a little bit, and I am 5'9'' wearing a large size so that was good. I really like the material and the way they fit on me, so I am planning on buying more in the future. December 15, 2014
Love these I run about 30 miles a week. Nothing is more annoying that a pair of capris that require adjustment every 5-10 steps. These stay in place! Very comfortable and soft. I got them on a great Black Friday sale which made them a steal. If I had known how awesome they were, I would have stocked up! December 12, 2014
Cute, but way too small I am nearly always an XS in workout gear (5'5" 120lbs), but I could barely get these above my knees! They fit my 3 year old better than they did me! I had to return them. I decided not to try and size up, because I wasn't even sure if a S would fit. December 11, 2014
Perfect fit! I liked these so much that I bought a second pair! December 4, 2014
3rd time's a charm I am in loveeee with these capris. I have always had issues in the past with leggings falling down from my hips while running, hiking, and weight lifting but I have finally found some that actually stay up. It is so much easier to enjoy my workouts without having to pull up my pants every 3 seconds! I owned two pairs of these leggings for 3 years and even after wearing them every single week, they are still in excellent condition so I decided to order another pair! November 9, 2014
Very nice I bought them to replace my VSX they're much better than VSX November 4, 2014
Comfortable and satisfied w order Satisfied with this order and will purchase more of the same November 4, 2014
Buy THESE Fit is awesome. They are a bit longer than I wanted them to be, but that's fine. Very comfortable September 9, 2014
Perfect fit! LOVE THESE PANTS! I have a more curvy body and have a hard time finding pants that are slim fit but stay around my thighs and bottom. These are perfect! No slip when running and super breathable. September 2, 2014

Why be satisfied with just the same old "Paperwhites" for indoor bloom? The same "magic" happens with these narcissus--bloom takes a bit longer, but the flowers are bigger, with golden yellow petals and brilliant orange centers. Any planter will do. It's easy!
How to grow Indoor Narcissus Almost everyone knows "Paperwhites," the fragrant miniature narcissus on long stems that bloom quickly indoors, much like an amaryllis. (Each bulb produces a "bouquet" of several flowers.) Like the Paperwhites, this narcissus is also from the famous "tazetta" group, and will perform just the same for you. To make indoor pots and bowls, simply arrange the bulbs in a shallow bowl or pot so they don't touch one another. Surround them with pebbles, sand, or even soil, but no soil is really needed. Be sure the bulbs are about half into the planting medium, with the top half sticking up in the clear. Then, just water. Almost instantly, the bulbs will sprout, and in just 10-12 weeks, you'll have blooming daffodils right there on the coffee table.
Indoor narcissus are great for making holiday gifts that will bring weeks and weeks of pleasure during the holidays or anytime during a long winter.

Harder than it looks
By Johnre

About Me Avid Gardener
It's probably not the product, just the user. I didn't have any luck forcing these (my first attempt at forcing indoor bulbs).
2. Place bulb in vase.
3. Place the vase in a sunny, warm location. Paperwhites are tropical bulbs and prefer temperatures around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
4. If you place the Paperwhites in a cooler spot (45-55 degrees Fahrenheit) directly after planting for 3 to 4 weeks the stems will stay shorter.
5. Every week for the next weeks add or replace the water in the vase, filling the vase to the fill line so that the bulb itself is not sitting in water.
6. All flowers grow toward the light, to ensure a straight stem turn vase regularly.
7. Plant bulbs in 2 week intervals for a constant display of flowers.
2. Water the bulbs thoroughly, allowing time for the soil to absorb enough water so it is thoroughly soaked.
3. Place your pot in a sunny, warm location. Paperwhites are tropical bulbs and prefer temperatures around 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
4. If you place your Paperwhites for 3 to 4 weeks in a cooler place (45-55 degrees Fahrenheit) directly after planting, they generally stay shorter which prevents them from falling over when in full bloom.
5. In 6 to 10 weeks you'll have a mass of pure white, multiple blooming Narcissus in your room. When the plants begin to flower, remove them from direct sunlight for a longer enjoyment.
