|Pickup/Delivery Options
|You can pick up your order at our farm store near Ethridge, Tennessee, or at one of our pre-arranged pickup locations as available. Please call for all delivery options (931)-424-5089.
Delicious, beautiful Pastured Non-GMO Eggs! Compare the yellow of these eggs to those from the store and you'll see the nutritional difference!
We do appreciate returned egg cartons!
Why choose Pastured eggs over Conventional eggs?
Pastured eggs have more vitamins and Omega 3 fatty acids than conventional eggs. The reason for this increase in vitamins comes from the fact that unlike Conventional raised chickens, Pastured chickens are able to eat a variety of vegetation along with insects. Below is a breakdown of just a few nutritional benefits that come with pastured eggs compared to conventional eggs.
Vitamin A (A fat soluble vitamin* which helps maintain healthy skin, teeth, soft and skeletal tissue, and mucus membranes. It also acts as an antioxidant and helps stimulate gastric juices for protein digestion):
Conventional: 487 IU
Pastured avg: 792 IU
Vitamin D (A fat soluble vitamin that is required to absorb calcium and phosphorus, which is necessary for healthy bones and teeth.):
Conventional: 34 IU
Pastured avg: 136 - 204 IU
Vitamin E (A fat soluble vitamin necessary for circulation and tissue repair. An antioxidant that works alongside selenium and zinc to help prevent cancer and Cardiovascular disease):
Conventional: 0.97 mg
Pastured avg: 3.73 mg
Beta-carotene (Gives the yolks there bright orange color and an antioxidant which our body makes into vitamin A):
Conventional: 10 mcg
Pastured avg: 79 mcg
Omega-3 fatty acids (An essential fat that our bodies cannot make therefore must be acquired through food.):
Conventional: 0.22 g
Pastured avg: 0.66 g
*fat soluble vitamins are vitamins that need fats to be dissolved.

Three Years
Posted On October 11, 2014
Three years ago…
We left friends, family, and the familiarity of life in the U.S.
We arrived in Germany, in the rain.
We were expecting a baby, a baby we would never hold.
Two years ago…
We welcomed Madilynn into our home and our hearts.
Peter took leave from his assignment in Turkey, only to once again leave an 11-day-old baby.
My parents came to help during that time as well.
One year ago…
We survived a government shutdown.
We were able to celebrate Madilynn's first birthday (late) together.
We are getting ready to leave Germany.
We will be in Temporary Lodging on Madilynn's birthday.
As of this writing, we do not know our next destination.
However, we remain steadfast in our faith, knowing that God has a plan for us.
We prayerfully hope He lets us in on that plan soon.

Are you one of those people who are always searching for the best anti wrinkle products? If you are, then this is going to be a good article for you to read. The fact is more people who reach their 50's are concerned about how to prevent wrinkles and maintain their youthful appearance than ever before. With each passing generation, "getting older" is becoming a stigma that must be avoided.
With the skincare technology today, there are now many creams and lotions sold at major department stores and drugstores. The big question is do these anti wrinkle products work? According to researchers, some of the products available truly do work as they contain ingredients that can improve wrinkles and fine lines, but the discouraging part is that many of these ingredients have yet to undergo authoritative scientific research that can prove or disprove their effectiveness.
When we are young our skin has plenty of collagen and elastin. These two proteins help to support our connective tissue. When we get older the amount of collagen and elastin in the skin will begin to decrease at the age of 35. Many of you wonder why many people out there even in their fifties still have smooth and young looking skin. Some say it is genetics, but after doing just a little research you'll find that there are products available that can really help maintain our beautiful skin even if our bodies stop producing sufficient collagen and elastin.
In order to maintain smooth skin, it is important to understand how to take excellent care of it. It would not hurt to try natural anti wrinkle products. Aside from being inexpensive, these products can also be made in your own home. One of the most important things in making natural anti wrinkle skin products is to know what ingredients to use, so that you can get the best results and avoid side effects.
Here are the ingredients for the best anti wrinkle product and with very easy steps you can make this for yourself:
1 tablespoon of infusion of comfrey leaves
1 tablespoon of lanolin
2 teaspoons of sweet almond oil
2 teaspoons of clean water
2 teaspoons of cod liver oil.
To start, just melt the lanolin and almond oil, then add water and allow mixture to cool. Then add cod liver oil and comfrey together and mix it. After that, apply it evenly to the face and neck and leave it on for 5-10 minutes. Wash the mixture off your face. This can be done at least once a day as one of the best anti wrinkle products.
This is just one example on how to create a homemade anti wrinkle product. Nothing is better than a natural way of getting wrinkle free skin. It is also good if you try to do some things to enhance or maintain the youthful appearance of the skin. Too much sun is one main factor that increases the natural aging process, which then causes wrinkles and uneven skin. It is important to protect the skin to avoid future wrinkles by limiting the amount of time you spend under the sun. Wearing appropriate clothing also helps, like a hat and sunglasses. Put some sunscreen on when you plan to go outdoors too.
If you smoke, you should definitely quit. Smoking damages elastin and collagen, these fibers are responsible for giving the skin its strength and flexibility. That is why many smokers have sagging skin and premature wrinkles. Cigarettes are not anti wrinkle products.
Checking with your dermatologist is a beneficial thing if you are really bothered about the look of your skin. Knowing your type of skin is essential, so you know which product can be the most effective. Your dermatologist can also evaluate your skin's condition and recommend medical products and treatment for wrinkles if necessary.
You should also make lifestyle changes to lessen the wear and tear on your looks and skin. The first of which is to quit smoking. The next is to change your eating habits. Stop eating processed junk and fast food. Eat organic whole fruits and vegetables, whole grains and organic lean meats.
There are many changes that you can do to make yourself look as good as you can. There are so many ways to do it naturally. You should also start exercising too. This will improve you from the inside as well as the outside.
The other factor to get rid of is stress. If there are any people around you that stress you out, get away from them right away. If you have to be around them, limit your time to a few minutes, then make some excuse to get away from them.
As you can see, there are many anti wrinkle products available on the market especially natural ones like the above recipe. There are also lifestyle solutions too. The best approach would be to do all of them if you really want to avoid looking older.

Joel Morales - Cyanide Breath Mint
Dios vocalist Joel Morales has just released the first single "Cyanide Breath Mint" from his forthcoming tribute to Beck Hansen's early work entitled When Beck Was Cool.
In 1994, Morales had heard the buzz about Beck Hansen and his left-field hit "Loser" but he had an epiphany after hearing Beck's "Pay No Mind" on KXLU. "I thought, This is really good… and strange," recalls Morales. "I hadn't heard acoustic guitar, with a band, in a modern context, on the radio in such a long time." "Pay No Mind" struck him as the complete antithesis to grunge and corporate alt-rock, a folksy little ditty with oddball lyrics and a delivery that suggested its author might've inhaled a heady cloud of paint fumes before hitting "record."
"I remember hearing 'Cyanide Breath Mint' on KXLU — here was a guy with an acoustic guitar, sounding like the pitch was slowed down on the vocals, doing really interesting songs. The rest of that summer was my Beck summer. All I listened to driving around in the car was 'One Foot in the Grave,'" Morales said.
Morales sought out all three of Beck's official 1994 albums—Mellow Gold, One Foot in the Grave, and Stereopathetic Soulmanure—as well as his early cassette releases and non-LP singles. He listened to them fervently, internalizing them. Up to that point, the Beatles had been Joel's biggest musical influence but the Fab Four now had serious competition. "Beck was a huge building block for me as far as song writing. I loved how laidback and anything-goes that music is." Morales' emerging musical voice was already unconventional yet catchy, but Beck inspired him to get "weirder and weirder" while retaining a pop sensibility.
It wasn't just the music that inspired Morales, either. "There was his whole history, this mythology that was really cool. He'd traveled here and there, making music wherever he could." In the midst of a frantic bidding war, Beck fought hard to retain creative freedom. And he didn't sit around waiting for clubs to offer proper bookings; he'd just appear at a show and play between other bands. "All that was very punk rock to me. I really dug that attitude."
Fast forward ahead 15 years. Joel Morales has cemented his own humble reputation fronting the trippy Hawthorne, CA rock combo Dios, whose 2004 self-titled debut earned raves from Pitchfork for making California rock seem "a little less predictable." Morales was crashing in a house in San Pedro, and gearing up to begin writing the fourth Dios full-length. When a roommate moved out, Joel transformed an upstairs bedroom into a home studio. To get his creative juices flowing, he would warm up playing the early Beck songs he'd learned, loved, and performed in public for years, and fiddle around with his recording equipment as he went.
"Before I knew it, I had four or five Beck songs I'd done in a week. And I thought, Man, I should just do a dozen of these, and put them out somehow." His brother Kevin dropped by and played drums on some tracks, and individual members of Dios popped in and out. Working at home allowed the recordings to remain loose and informal. Over the course of autumn and winter 2009, Morales continued to let his take on Beck's early catalog unfurl. When the time rolled around to leave the house in San Pedro, and relinquish his home studio, he'd recorded more than enough material for a full-length.
The resulting solo album, When Beck Was Cool, is a remarkable marriage of a gifted interpreter with inspiring material. You don't need to know the original versions to appreciate Morales interpretations, which range from flirtatious forays into country-rock ("Got No Mind") to a mélange of string and woodwind timbres, pianos and whistling ("Girl Dreams") that evokes his beloved Beatles as much as Beck. Indeed, many listeners may be discovering these songs for the first time. Aside from the epic "Blackhole," which closes out the disc—just as it did Mellow Gold—the originals aren't found on Beck's major label albums. The demented, socio-political "MTV Makes Me Wanna Smoke Crack" comes from an über-rare 1993 split-single. The hazy, multi-layered "Cyanide Breathmint" was plucked from K Records' One Foot in the Grave, while the quasi-instrumental "Ozzy," which Morales imparts with a malevolent, Southern Rock crunch, began life on Stereopathetic Soulmanure. And unless you own copies of early tape-only oddities like Don't Get Bent Out of Shape and Beck, Like the Beer, don't even pretend you've heard "Fume" before.
While Morales isn't as passionate about Mr. Hansen's later oeuvre, he stresses that this album comes from a place of sincere admiration. "Ultimately this is an homage. I'm not making fun of the music, because this is some of the best stuff I've ever heard." In the mid-'90s, Beck was the epitome of musical cool to Morales, and that's the primary thrust of the title. "I know it's a little snarky," he admits, "but I have a feeling Beck would laugh it off and think it's funny. He certainly would've appreciated it back in the day. And if you understand him or his music, you'll get that."

We're just a couple weeks away from the year anniversary of the day Barbaro galloped off this mortal coil, and no one has decided yet what to do with his ashes. It's a big concern. Really.
There's intense debate about where his ashes will be buried, but worry not, young fretters: They're close to a decision. We don't know where the ashes have been for the last year, or what has taken them so long. We assume they will be placed just outside Churchill Downs, while an eternal flame burns.

Slander is known as oral defamation which is when someone harms and damages the character or reputation of another based on one or a series of malicious statements. Slander comes under tort law which means cases made against a defamer will be known as a civil wrong and can be actionable by a lawsuit. Claimants who win cases against defamers are often rewarded damages especially if malicious intent can be proven against the Defendant.
Serious malicious statements such as accusations of being a criminal, having a disease, or questioning one's occupation are treated as slanderous which generally results in punitive damages to the Claimant. Defamatory statements spoken on radio or television are treated as libel as the broadcasting reaches a wider audience than most publications.
At Bloomsbury Law, we have in depth experience of slander cases. We have a vast amount of experience and have helped many individuals whom have sought to claim damages from slander cases. Every case we are instructed on represents a unique and complex issue in its own right. It is vital to seek professional and specialist advice due to the consequences of making wrong decisions in the early stages of a claim as your actions can have catastrophic legal consequences.

Meet Sam & Seki
Arnette on Sept. 16, 2009
This is a little something that I do while bored/stressed/avoiding work. It was born in a forum, the topic was named "MSpaint relationships" (What a surprise!) and it had to represent real life situations (or at least most of it). I don't have a tablet so I do this with the mouse. The art is rudimentary and bad. It will stay this way.
The building you see on your right is a parody of my university, you can see the real logo here–> http://www.nbu.bg/entrance.php
On your left is Sam's summer house, his pride and joy (you'll see more of it in the pages to come)
The logo on the arch above them is the one of Audi A6, because Sam has one and considers it a "chick-magnette"
Well, enough back story so far.

Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Sigh has announced compensation for the relatives of the 102 pilgrims killed in Friday's stampede in the southern state Kerala.
Mr. Singh expressed his condolences Saturday to the bereaved families and said they would each receive about $2,200. He said people injured in the incident would also be compensated.
The stampede was set off Friday when a group of pilgrims lost control of their vehicle and drove into a group of worshippers returning from a religious festival at a remote shrine.
Some information for this report was provided by AP, AFP and Reuters.

In the Dharma dumps this week, Lost fans? Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse feel your pain.
This would have been the week that Lost returned to the airwaves after its typical eight-month hiatus. But now that midseason is upon us, and there's no sign of Jack, Sawyer, Locke or Hurley on the horizon, reality has finally set in: The show's not coming back, Kate! It's not coming back!
As the usual Lost return date approaches, Lindelof tells TV Guide Magazine that he's been hearing more from wistful fans coming to terms with their island fever.
"Yes, there has been some wist," he says. "Which is appreciated more than I can articulate. As for coping, everyone has their own mechanisms."
Lindelof is busy with his active feature career (including the next Star Trek sequel), but says he's been able to fill some of his idle time "watching every great show I missed as a result of making Lost for six years. I'd advise starting with Battlestar Galactica, moving on to Breaking Bad and ending with The Wire. I'm convinced the best way to watch a series is to just binge."
The writer, who co-created Lost with J.J. Abrams, says he also still regularly hears from viewers debating over the show's merits. "Even the people who absolutely hated how we ended it still have the need to tell me this in a variety of creative ways eight months after the fact," he says. "I used to lose sleep over this, but I'm actually starting to embrace the fact that while their assessment of my talent (or lack thereof) sometimes hurts, it's nice to know that at least they cared enough about the show to reach out and tell me so. Repeatedly. OK, I'm still losing a little sleep over it."
Lindelof calls it "part of the grieving process."
Lindelof and Cuse, of course, famously negotiated an end date for Lost, allowing the producers to end the show last May, after six seasons, on their own terms. But there's a part of them that remains nostalgic for the show, which turned the executive producing duo into stars as well.
In a recent piece for the New York Times, Cuse writes that after the end of the show he "felt relief but also great uncertainty."
Cuse is now developing the Civil War drama Point of Honor for ABC, along with Randall Wallace (Braveheart). Getting back on the series horse, Cuse wrote in the Times, promises plenty of challenges — including the inevitable Lost comparison. "But as tumultuous as it all can be, I realize this what I truly love doing," he wrote.
As for Lost fans adjusting to the fact that there will be no seventh season this winter, at least they can turn on Hawaii Five-0 and imagine that Jin (Daniel Dae Kim) not only survived but now speaks perfect English on a whole different island.
"Shhhh," Lindelof quips. "That is Jin. Don't tell."

EventsDr. Alan Farhan
Artificial Frustrated Systems: Ongoing Research and Future Perspectives
Frustrated magnetism offers a variety of lattice geometries where interactions between magnetic moments cannot be simultaneously satisfied. Pyrochlore spin ice provided a prototypical example of the consequences of geometrical frustration with a highly debated zero-point entropy, which was successfully described using the concept of emergent magnetic charges . Artificial spin ice , consisting of dipolar coupled Ising-type nanomagnets, lithographically arranged onto a two-dimensional square lattice, was introduced as a two-dimensional analogue to pyrochlore spin ice and provided the prospect to microscopic studies on the consequence of geometrical frustration. In my presentation, I will intend to provide an overview on the evolution of artificial spin ice systems, starting from studies on the two classical cases of artificial square ice and artificial kagome spin ice to studies on novel concepts of artificial spin ice system. I will show how creative designs might pave the way to create systems where geometrical frustration can be directly tuned at the nanoscale. Synchrotron-based microcscopy techniques are then used to directly visualize thermal fluctuations and ordering phenomena in these systems. I will put these results in the context of currently undergoing research in the community and potential future directions.
About The Speaker
Dr. Farhan received his PhD degree in Physics from the University of Basel, Switzerland under the supervision of Prof. Laura Jane Heyderman. The focus of his PhD project aimed at the fabrication and investigation of so-called artificial spin ice systems that would exhibit thermal fluctuations. His thesis work marked a pioneering achievement in this field of research, with various research groups aiming to perform similar studies, using the same methods. Following his PhD graduation in August 2014 and short-term Postdoctoral stint at the ETH Zurich, Dr. Farhan received a Mobility fellowship from the Swiss National Science Foundation, allowing him to perform independent research on novel artificial spin systems at the Advanced Light Source, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. These new studies revealed the possibility to design novel concepts of geomentrically frustrated spin systems, exhibiting exotic emergent phenomena that do not necessarily appear in nature. Since December 2017, taking advantage of a "Return" fellowship, Dr. Farhan returned back to Paul Scherrer Institute focusing on synchrotron-based studies on oxide thin films and magnetoelectric multiferroics.

This weekend I struggled through my 18 miler and cut it short at 15.5 miles. My toes were really beat up and I realized I was beginning to run awkwardly because they were hurting so bad. Thus my awkward painful running motion created another blister on my big toe. That's when I realized it was time to stop and also time to go to the doctor regarding these little piggies. Thankfully, they are doing much better than they were last weekend after my run. They are toughening up? Maybe? I hope? Even though my toes are messed up, I had another "wait I don't need to stop at a bathroom, this is an incredible feeling run," so that was a definite plus! I know I could have kept going to hit 18 miles, but I just didn't want to mess up my feet more and hurt myself in the long term.
After the run, I went to take the dog walking training class at the local animal shelter that I volunteer at. I had to take the class in order to start being able to walk the dogs that they have there. I have considered getting up early (crazy, I know) and going over there and running with a few of the bigger ones on my shorter run days. I forgot how much I love dogs and once I got there I was reminded. I volunteer at a no-kill animal shelter and the dogs there are to die for. It's sad because a lot of dogs get dumped there since they are a no-kill shelter, and walking roughly 35-40 dogs takes a lot of time. The dogs are walked 3 times a day and after my class I went for my first walk. I was a little nervous about the bigger dogs, so I picked the dog I thought was the cutest one there. He was just found that morning and was only three months old. The dog was little, the walk was a little more carrying and playing than walking, but I loved it! I'm so glad I can volunteer there, and of course, I have to kill you all with super cute puppy pictures. These were all at the shelter, just a reminder to check out your local shelter if you are looking into adopting a new friend! Believe me, if I had a place that allowed dogs, I would have taken that little guy home.
This one was in a kennel with a German Shepard and they were best friends! How cute is he!
Many people don't believe that you can get purebred dogs at the animal shelter. Personally, I LOVE little scruffy mutt dogs, but there was a purebred Yorkie, a silky and even a dachshund there. There were a lot of purebred pit bulls too, and those are the hardest to get adopted.
Um, this is a 'danica dog' if I've ever seen one. I was IN LOVE. He was brought in that morning and was the one I walked on my trial walk. I will be definitely going back to walk and run with many more dogs. It's really fun and even after my long run, walking with them felt great.
Cutest thing. EVER.
He says, have a good week! :)
Tomorrow I'll be posting a sweet giveaway, so check back!

DALLAS November 08, 2017
In 2005, partner physicians Walter Gaman, MD and Mark Anderson, MD set out to change the doctor/patient relationship. That vision quickly became a reality as Executive Medicine of Texas flourished. Patients all around Texas quickly grasped the concept of executive physicals, concierge medicine, and a more comprehensive approach to their health. Soon, patients from around the globe were flying in to seek the doctors expertise on living longer and healthier lives. Now in 2017, the physicians have taken their practice to an even higher level.
Their new location at 2106 East State Hwy 114, Southlake, Texas is more along the line of a private club than a doctor's office. Complete with showers and an Executive lounge that overlooks the city, patients can enjoy their half-day visit in comfort. "The office is a reflection of our patients' wish list. We actually polled them over a year ago and then designed the office around their responses," explains Judy Gaman, Director of Business Development for the practice. "Everything we do is for their comfort and better health, so their opinion matters to us."
In addition to the partner physicians, they added a female physician to the staff in 2016. "We spent an entire year searching the country for just the right addition to the practice. Dr. Elizabeth Cox has been a terrific addition and we're glad to have her," said Dr. Anderson. The practice also has two female extenders, Randi True, PA-C and Tabitha Wade, MSN, APRN, FNP-C. With the addition of healthcare providers, the move to a larger and more advanced office was not just a luxury, but a necessity.

Setting Goals that Work!
Many people set themselves goals that that are too ambiguous and un-achievable. This can lead to a cycle of under achievement, and de-motivation. In this article I am going to look at the process of setting effective goals that have a clear direction, therefore act as a great tool to help you focus effort on your target.
The first thing to look at is making your goals SMARTER:-
Specific – Goals must be specific to what you want to achieve, a goal such as to 'get fitter' is too vague to be used motivationally. A specific goal needs to be along the lines of 'to improve my fitness levels to a point where I can run a 10K'.
Measurable – All goals must have some form or measurable element such as a time, a weight or the completion of an event, so you clearly know when you have achieved your goal. A goal such as 'to lose weight' is useless as it has no clear end point.
Agreed – If you do not feel that you can achieve a goal, then you will have no ownership of it and therefore it loses it's motivating power. Goals must therefore be considered achievable and agreed to by all parties involved.
Realistic – A goal must be challenging but achievable. If you feel you can't achieve the goals that have been set by you then they will have no motivational effect.
Time Framed – If a goal is not time framed then it is easy to put it off, therefore increasing the risk for failure.
Exciting – Goals must excite you, if you are excited about it you are much more likely to get up and work towards achieving it.
Recorded – Writing down your goal allows you to fix and focus on what you are looking to achieve.
If I take the example of a runner who agrees with his personal trainer that a good challenge would be to run a 10K. The goal outline might look like the following:-
'To run in the next 10K in Manchester on 20th May. Achieving a time of less than 60 mins'.
This goal meets all the criteria of the SMARTER principle, it is specific in that he wants to run the Manchester 10K, it is measurable as a specific time has been set. It has been agreed between the two parties who both think it is challenging but realistic. As the marathon is done on a specific date it is time framed.
Once you have set yourself a goal it is then time to work on your strategy that will help you achieve it. This is done by initially setting a number of sub-goals with motivating rewards. These should also follow the SMARTER principle!
So for our runner he might set the following sub goals. 'Four months before the Manchester 10K date to a 2.5K during one of his training sessions in fifteen mins (a quarter of his goal time) or less'. He could reward himself with anything that would act as a motivator, such as a new pair of trainers. His next sub-goal could be 'to take part in a 5K two months before the Manchester 10K and finish with a time of thirty mins (half his goal time) or less'. With a reward such as buying himself a book he wanted. These two sub-goals clearly help him build up to the main event, and mark defining steps on his journey to achieving his ultimate goal.
Once this goal outline is completed it should not be put away in a drawer to gather dust, read over it regularly place it somewhere prominent where you will see it daily. By doing this you are focusing your mind on the goal that you have set yourself and you are preventing deviation from it.
Although goal setting like this may seem like a lengthy process compared to the relative ease of just saying in your head 'I am going to run the next Manchester 10K', once you get into the habit of doing it you will soon start to see the motivational rewards of having a clearly defined goal and achievement.

Dialysis Diet Plan – How to Improve Your Health
Dialysis treatment will involve removing waste and toxins from the blood. Following a strict dialysis diet will be necessary in order help to decrease the amount of waste that builds up in the blood between each treatment session. A patient will need to follow this strict diet if they are undergoing dialysis treatment. A diet may need to change over time, based on the patient's weight and blood test results. They may also need to make changes if they have other health issues such as diabetes.
Dietary Tips
Patients undergoing this treatment will need to limit the amount of waste that builds up in their blood between treatments. This will mean that they will have to limit liquid, sodium, phosphorus and potassium in their diet. They will also need to eat more protein than they did before beginning dialysis treatment. It may be difficult to get the right amount of nutrients needed daily with these restrictions. A dietician can suggest that a patient add more calories daily if they begin to lose weight. Extra calories can be obtained by adding syrup, honey, jam or jelly to foods. They can also add health fats such as margarine, olive oil and canola oil. If the patient suffers from diabetes they will need to speak with their dietician regarding how to safely add calories without causing their blood sugar to rise to a dangerous level.
Patients who receive hemodialysis will not be as limited in their diet because the waste is removed more often with this type of treatment. On this type of diet, the patient will need to limit their sodium and phosphorus intake. They may also need to limit their fluid intake if their body is retaining fluid. They may need to increase or decrease potassium, depending on their blood levels. Extra protein will be needed because protein is lost through treatment. They dialysis liquid received during treatment contains sugar, which can cause the patient to gain weight. A dietician may want to decrease the amount of calories a patient can have each day if they end up gaining weight rapidly.
Speak with your dietician regarding how much sodium, liquid, phosphorus and protein you need each day. The dietician will tell you how many servings you can eat from each food group for every meal.
When it comes to planning meals for a this diet, be sure to keep a list of meals that are easy and fast to fix. You can also adapt your favorite recipes so that you can still eat the foods you love. Cooking ahead for a week and freezing the meals will come in handy, especially if you work full-time. When grocery shopping be sure to read food labels and keep an eye out for foods that contain too much potassium or sodium.
If you're a vegetarian it can be difficult to find the right foods. Most veggie sources of protein contain high levels of phosphorus and potassium. The biggest challenge for a vegetarian on this diet is getting the right amount of protein in order to avoid malnutrition, without consuming too much phosphorus and potassium. A dietician should be able to work with you in terms of finding veggie substitutes in order to prevent poor nutrition.
Helpful Tips for Kidney Failure Patients
While dialysis can save your life, it can still be tough to deal with. The good news is there are a lot of things you can do to take control of your life, avoid infections, feel better and have more energy.
To start, train to do your own punctures. Get control over this part of your treatment to make the situation less stressful and painful. You know your arm best.
Ask about home treatments. You'll feel more independent and enjoy a flexible treatment schedule in a relaxed environment.
Closely monitor your fluid intake. One of the most common reasons people on dialysis seek emergency treatment is excessive fluid intake. Know your limit.
Eating well and exercising can have a major impact on how you look and feel. Living a healthier lifestyle is the key to feeling good during treatment. Follow a kidney friendly diet that's low-salt and try to exercise daily.
Make it to all of your appointments. Your physician will check your medications, monitor your labs and adjust treatments as needed. Make your appointments a priority and always be on time for dialysis.
Enjoy Life's Journey
When you find out you have to go on dialysis, life can be scary and full of uncertainties. It's common for patients to experience anxiety and depression during this time, in addition to a lack of motivation or even a willingness to take proper care of themselves. But your life is not over. During this time it's important that you stay realistic in terms of what you want and what you can do based on how you feel and your energy level. Don't be discouraged if you don't feel at your best every day. It's a struggle many people on this treatment go through.
Make an effort to get back on track in your life, whether you need to lose some weight, make important changes to your diet or focus on making small changes around the home. Life goes on.
When you're feeling overwhelmed, sit down, slow down and calm down. Use stress reduction techniques to help you wind down, such as mental imagery, deep breathing, exercising, calm visualization or mentally reassessing priorities.
Many patients recommend trying home treatment because it allows them to multitask during treatment. A patient can work on their computer, watch a movie or complete hobbies or crafts during treatment.
You can still enjoy many aspects of your life when you're on Dialysis Diet . In the beginning it will be more about adjusting to treatment, finding the right medications and making certain lifestyle changes that can improve your overall health. Surround yourself with a support system of family and friends who are willing to go with you to dialysis or help you around the home.

Monjack, 40, had a slightly enlarged heart and some prescription medications were found in his body, but not at levels that contributed to his death, Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said.
Monjack was found dead May 23 at the Hollywood Hills home he shared with his actress wife and her mother. Officials initially suspected a heart attack and confirmed Wednesday that Monjack died of natural causes.
Winter said the deaths of British-born screenwriter and Murphy had been referred to county health officials since they died of pneumonia, but did not know if an investigation was ongoing. The health department declined comment.
A list of medications was not immediately available but would be included in a full report issued in about two weeks, Winter said.
Murphy, star of films such as "Clueless" and "8 Mile," died in December and coroner's officials determined she died of a combination of pneumonia and that anemia and prescription medications played a role.
Winter says both their deaths were likely preventable.
"In simple English - they didn't take care of themselves," Winter said. "They didn't seek medical advice from a doctor. Brittany could have survived if she had gone to a hospital and Simon I think could have done the same."

Today we're discussing an air compressor that requires regular maintenance piston air Gardner Denver compressors in GA, also known as a reciprocating air compressor. These machines function at a lower horsepower than rotary screw compressors, but despite that, these compressors are reliable and useful for many applications.
Why Piston Compressors Need Maintenance
The inside of a piston compressor is similar to an internal combustion engine. The main parts include a piston head that rises and falls as a crankshaft rotates. And there are also numerous valves, plates, rods, and gauges that keep the machine running smoothly.
All these moving parts can wear down or become dislocated with regular use. The more you use your compressor, the greater the chances that it will develop issues. However, you can somewhat reduce the need for major repairs if you are diligent about maintenance.
Spending time on piston compressor maintenance now saves you time and money later. When your compressor remains in good condition, you can rely on it to not stop functioning and halt your work. Regular maintenance also helps extend the life of your Gardner Denver compressors in GA, meaning you won't have to replace it as often.
Now that you know why you need to spend time on piston compressor upkeep, let's cover what maintenance tasks you should perform daily, weekly, monthly, and as needed.
Daily Maintenance Tasks
Most of the crucial maintenance to your piston compressor occurs before you turn it on each day. Perform these tasks each time you use your air compressor & air conditioning:
- Clean the unit, wiping off any dust, grease, or grime;
- Inspect the electrical wires for anything out of the ordinary;
- Look for loose parts and tighten them as needed;
- Check the oil level;
- Look for air leaks and correct any issues before you use the compressor;
- Inspect the air filter to make sure it's clean enough so that you can use the machine safely and effectively.
While these tasks seem easy enough, don't let their simplicity lure you into avoiding them. They only take one or two extra minutes on most days, so make performing them a habit.
Any time you finish using your Gardner Denver compressors in GA, you need to perform a few additional maintenance tasks, one of which is to drain the air tanks. Depending on how much you use your unit, you may need to drain them periodically throughout the day as well. If you work in a high-humidity area,
draining the tanks several times a day is highly recommended.
Weekly Maintenance Tasks
A piston compressor uses an air filter to ensure that tiny pollutants stay out of the compressor's air supply. The filter catches these particles and keeps them away from the machine's vital parts.
Because a piston compressor pushes so much air through itself and the filter, you should check the air filter weekly. Your compressor probably has a reusable filter that you can clean. If you are noticing that the filter is becoming particularly dirty or that it has become damaged, replace it.
Monthly Maintenance Tasks
Another crucial component of your piston Gardner Denver compressors in GA is its safety release valve, which continually monitors the compressor tank's pressure when the machine is in use. If the pressure reaches a predetermined limit, the safety valve triggers to stop the motor.
As-Needed Maintenance Tasks for Gardner Denver Compressors in GA
If your piston compressor is oil-lubricated, you'll need to change the pump oil at least once a year, and anytime it becomes contaminated, so check the oil periodically. When it's time to replace the oil, use the type of oil recommended by Gardner Denver. If you use an oil with a thickness that's too high or too low, your compressor could sustain permanent damage.
If you want your piston compressor to last for years, perform these maintenance tasks regularly. If you have additional questions about caring for your Gardner Denver compressors in GA, call our office today to speak with a compressor expert.

Could the Great Renewable Energy Wall Between the U.S. and China Be Crumbling?
Source: stlouiscountymn.gov
International trade is raining on solar's parade. Tariff wars between China, the U.S., and other countries have kept renewable energy costs artificially high, stunting green global growth. But with a new international agreement on the table, the sun could soon come out for solar trade. Let's take a look at the problem, the solution, and the future impact on worldwide renewable energy.
The problem
When it comes to renewable energy, everyone's trying to go green to make green. Renewable energy is a rapidly growing field, and countries are willing to subsidize and support to make sure their domestic industries grab the biggest slice of the renewable energy pie.
Nowhere is this more true than with China-U.S. solar trade. Things first heated up in October 2011, when U.S.-based SolarWorld filed an "anti-dumping and countervailing duty petition" on $4 billion worth of Chinese solar cells. Essentially, SolarWorld accused China of subsidizing its solar production and "dumping" cheap supply in U.S. markets -- a death knell for any U.S. solar producer -- and demanded an import tax to keep prices comparable.
Source: forbes.house.gov
The petition was the spark that started a much larger fire, and the two countries have been waging bureaucratic war ever since. China fought back with its own $2 billion petition targeting U.S. polysilicon, a key ingredient in solar cells, eventually levying a prohibitive 57% tax on poor polysilicon.
The U.S. Commerce Department is now investigating four separate Chinese solar components, and they're likely to find China at fault for every single one. And just this past week, China promised to knock off the sole remaining loophole allowing Chinese companies to import U.S., E.U., and South Korean polysilicon. It's a solar stalemate.
The solution
Source: ustr.gov
With tit-for-tat trade wars going nowhere, solar trade proponents are taking their talk elsewhere. In an unprecedented push to support solar and renewable energy trade, most of the largest countries in the world are currently in talks to create a free trade agreement on environmental goods and services.
The agreement follows in the footsteps of a similar Asia-Pacific arrangement enacted last year, but this latest round of negotiations promises bigger and better things.
First, the group of 14 countries or unions includes China, the U.S., and the E.U., a "who's who" list of renewable energy production and trade. Second, this latest agreement is intended to expand the previous agreements' 54 covered environmental goods to 411 identified by the World Trade Organization (WTO). That's an important step to ensure that countries don't just cherry-pick components on a country-by-country basis (e.g. grabbing cells from South Korea and modules from Malaysia).
The future
Unfortunately, the solar war isn't over yet. Despite the expanded reach of this latest round of talks, there's still an economic elephant in the negotiation room. Ferdi , an international development research group, points out that countries are still refusing to put their competitive cards on the table.
Of the current list of environmental goods, the average current tariff weighs in at a paltry 1.8% -- hardly the 57% polysilicon tax that's keeping America's product out of China. And even if everyone agrees to expand the current list to the 411 WTO-flagged items, the result would still be something comparable to a 3.4% tax, just half the tax of non-flagged environmental goods.
The Brookings Institution, an independent research group, stresses that this agreement must also extend beyond taxes. "Non-tariff barriers" are the bread-and-butter of the U.S.-China solar trade war. Anti-dumping measures, countervailing duties, price limits, and export subsidies are all non-tariff barriers, and none are included in current talks.
No solar settlement yet
Unfortunately, multilateral trade agreements are often whittled down to their lowest common denominator. With global environmental goods trade valued at $1 trillion, it's depressingly simple to see how easily vested interests can derail any free trade deal. But these latest talks are good, and they do bring the U.S. and China a small step closer to a solar settlement. With renewable energy costs continuing to decline worldwide, global trade can and will play an increasingly important role in the quest for a cleaner tomorrow -- tariffs or not.
The U.S. Doesn't Need China to Compete
"Made in China" -- an all too familiar phrase. But with no end in sight for trade wars, the U.S. is innovating to become a more independent producer than ever before. There's a radical new technology out there, one that's already being employed by the U.S. Air Force, BMW and even Nike. Respected publications like The Economist have compared this disruptive invention to the steam engine and the printing press; Business Insider calls it "the next trillion dollar industry." Watch The Motley Fool's shocking video presentation to learn about the next great wave of technological innovation, one that will bring an end to "Made In China" for good. Click here !

It's currently the unloved model for those seeking a Swedish modern classic. But should you write off the Volvo V70? Here's why it makes perfect sense
Introduced in 1996, the V70 lays claim as only the second front-wheel-drive Volvo estate. Like being the fourth man on the Moon, or winning bronze in the Olympics, it's an accolade – albeit a slightly naff one. This is probably why the relatively bland model has mostly been ignored by fans and collectors of modern classics. At least, so it would seem...
This is no bad thing, though. The majority of nicely specced 850s that haven't been destroyed after years of workhorse duties are now escaping banger-pricing territory. Decent survivors from the performance T5 and R ranges can now fetch anywhere from £3000 to £5000. Even cooking versions in good order are hard to find under a grand – and when they do come on the market, they're often snapped up within days.
But the V70, still lurking under the radar, is a genuine bargain – and an all-out modern classic. Last year, a mere £420 put one on my driveway. Yes, for the RRP of a mid-range smartphone, you can buy an MOT'd, leather-lined, classy Swedish load-lugger.

I will admit, I did have my worries when I viewed it. It was obvious the car hadn't been loved by the past couple of owners. Or maybe the past three. Or four. Or five... All the signs pointed to a life of hauling around kids and tools, with no time for much else.
The carpet was covered with what looked like oil stains (hopefully nothing more sinister), some of the interior trim seemed to have been on the wrong end of a few temper tantrums and the first time I laid down the seats, I found a desiccated cucumber…
Things got better on the outside, but only marginally. The front bumper had all the hallmarks of being attacked with a potato peeler, and the bonnet looked like it was cleaned with a scouring pad. Shoring up my concerns was a history file thinner than my girlfriend's patience after she'd been dragged for an hour to view a tired estate car in Thetford when I had promised her a night of romance.
But I was convinced our V70 still had life in it. Even though the mileage was fairly high at 168,000, everything apart from the air-conditioning worked and the car was free of any worrying faults (apart from the two tyres that were as old as the car itself). I took the risk, and bought it.
After a five-quid mini valet, the Volvo looked smart enough for me not to hang my head in shame every time I got out of it in public. Maybe it's because it wears dents and dings like war wounds, in the same way an old Land Rover or Mercedes does?
The phase-one V70, in my opinion, was the last properly styled Volvo, and it still has a whiff of old-money charm to it (or perhaps that was the cucumber), with that unsmiling face still commanding respect on the road today. People tend to let it out at junctions and give you room when manoeuvring. Or maybe they see the dents and want to stay clear of the firing line. I'm going with respect…
It would be easy for me to romanticise and get over-attached to this car. It was bought only to help me move around tools and garden waste when we took on an allotment, but I've reluctantly grown rather fond of my leathery brick. The car equivalent of a lame old Labrador with cataracts, that everyone tells you should really be put down, the V70 has earned its place on my driveway in a very short time.
Take the time that The Beast From The East arrived, which our embattled V70 took in its stride. Despite the weather looking fit only for snowmobiles and penguins, the Volvo got me to work without incident while far newer – and far more expensive – cars floundered by the side of the road.
Those big, squishy, heated seats and the face-roasting heater did a fine job of insulating me from all the wintery nonsense outside, and it was hard to think of anything else this side of a Range Rover that I'd rather be in. The cheap, stop-gap Volvo fought – and won – the worse kind of weather England can get, but not without a price.
The odometer now reads 176,000, and the Volvo has felt every last one of them. The steering wheel shakes so much above 30mph that it feels like the car is actively trying to wrench your hands off, while a rear-wheel bearing is starting to die. Meanwhile, the front suspension now makes an ominous moaning sound on full lock.
With the MoT set to expire soon, it makes the most bangernomic sense to send the Volvo over the magic bridge that converts worthless cars into money. But giving this old tank the death sentence is tugging on my heart strings a little bit...

China, an ancient country of etiquette and ceremonies, is a complex and diverse country. There are many things that you can do to impress your Chinese business partners. Learning about Chinese culture and a little Mandarin Chinese can go a long way to helping you to impress your Chinese business partners.
For those who are having a business relationship with China's enterprises or clients, Chinese New Year will be the best time to develop your relationship with them.
In China, a term of relationship (Chinese: Guan Xì) is really common used and quite important to be maintained especially when you have a business relationship with its enterprises.
So, in order to improve your commercial prospects in China, it is highly advised to send your business partners or clients quite well with Chinese New Year greetings and gifts.
Plan & List
Sending greetings or gifts is not a simple task to do, if you consider giving it to your business partners in China. You should make a plan or schedule of who would you like to give. They might be your current and prospective business partners or clients.
Also, if you are planning to give some gifts for several managers & directors, make sure you won't give the 'lower' level a better gift than the 'upper' one. It is very important to be noted as in China, they attach so much importance of the 'hierarchy' in business level.
Deliver Your Greetings
It is highly advised that you should send greeting cards, in hand written at least. For the greetings, you can write some words associated with new year and luck. For instance guo nian hao ("happy getting past the old year!"), gong he xin chun ("sincere congratulations on the new spring"), or more generic xi nian kuai le ("Happy New Year").
You might hear a lot of gong xi fa cai ("I hope you get big money!"), yet it is not suggested to be used in business approach, as it's commonly used in friends, relatives or colleagues relationships. Apart from greetings, you can send small gifts, like high quality and branded food or drink. Please note, your gift should be wrapped in red colour to emphasize your consideration for the red-fortune symbol.
Be The Party Host
If your Chinese business partners or clients are situated at the same town with you, then you might want to consider hosting a dinner party. At the very least, you can ask them to simply have a dinner together. Yet, if your partner do have about 25-30 employees, it's better when you can also host a party with a banquet, entertainment, lucky draw, etc.
Overall, whether you currently have a business deal or about to consider having one with China's enterprises, it is your time to develop a good relationship with them. Just remember to send greetings or gifts and wishing them luck and fortune, then at the end of day, the fortune itself will be your own fortune.

House Approves Consumer Fraud Lawsuit Measure
Posted on Tuesday, April 21st, 2009 at 4:38 am
On Monday, the Iowa House of Representatives approved a measure to allow consumer fraud lawsuits by a 95-1 vote. This measure would allow victims of consumer fraud to sue for damages.
Currently, 49 other states have similar laws, making Iowa the only state without it. Unfortunately, the bill must now go to the Senate where it has an uncertain future. If the bill is passed, it will put a 2 year statute of limitations on cases and will not apply retroactively.
If you have been a victim of fraud or unfair trade, contact the Des Moines business attorneys of LaMarca Law Group, P.C., PC at (877) 327-2600.

Arsenal have sealed a £20.4million deal to make Mohamed Elneny their first signing of the January window, Football Insider sources understand.
Elneny has agreed the terms of a four-and-a-half-year contract worth £65,000-a-week and the Gunners' bid of £5.2million has been accepted by the midfielder's club Basle.
He underwent a medical in Paris on Tuesday as he prepares to complete a move to Emirates Stadium in the early days of the January transfer window, which opens on Friday.
An Arsenal source told Football Insider that the proposed transfer to Arsenal is now '99 per cent done', with the only remaining hurdle to the deal being formalised is that the 23-year-old Egyptian must wait for clearance on a visa.
All parties are confident this is a formality as Elneny, who has won 40 caps for the Egypt national team, is a regular for club and country.
Arsene Wenger has moved to strengthen his midfield after Arsenal defeated Bournemouth 2-0 on Monday evening to climb back to the top of the Premier League, a position will retain at the start of 2016 after Leicester and Manchester City drew 0-0 on Tuesday.
Wenger has sanctioned an early move for a central midfielder after long-term injuries robbed him of the services of first-choice pair Francis Coquelin and Santi Cazorla until at least March and possibly longer.
With Mathieu Flamini and Mikel Arteta out of contract next summer, and Jack Wilshere still absent through injury, Wenger has given the green light to land Elneny.
Elneny fits the bill for Arsenal because of his pedigree, ability to play in a number of midfield positions and relatively good value.
He joined Basle, initially on loan, in January 2013 and has won three consecutive Swiss league titles with the club.

Foreigners wandering through Chilean territory may find themselves in awe of the nation's natural landscapes, heart-warmed by the welcoming locals, and nurtured by the country's hearty cuisine. But for many years, their yearning for a down-home craft brew was an itch that Chile just couldn't scratch.
Five years back, one defiant gringo with a similar longing, Derek Way (a.k.a. Chester) began an uphill battle to fill this niche. The result of years of toil is Chester Beer, a microbrewery housed in two recycled shipping containers on a farm outside of Puerto Varas.
"I had been in Puerto Varas for about a year and a half and I started making little 20 liter batches, then I did 30 liters, than 50 liters, than 80 liters, than 90 liters…now I make 500 liter batches," Way told This is Chile.
Before arriving in Puerto Varas, Way had been teaching English in Santiago for nearly three years, but he craved a change of pace.
"I'm from the country and I just wanted to move out of Santiago," Way said. "I had a friend down here [in Puerto Varas] and she let me camp out in her backyard for a while."
From his friend's backyard, Way became enchanted by the breathtaking landscape of southern Chile.
"[I] fell in love with the lake view of Puerto Varas and its surrounding natural beauty and of course…the water," Chester Beers' website reads. "Water everywhere, raging rivers that you can still drink from and water that you can brew great beer from."
What began as one beer-lover home brewing in his garage spawned into a full time profession for Way. Chester Beers became a full-fledged business a few years ago, a process that Way described as painless.
"It was not that expensive compared to the United States, and as a foreigner it wasn't even that difficult," Way said. "There's nothing easy in this world, but I would say that in Chile it was probably easier than a lot of places."
Despite having grown tremendously since its inception, Chester Beers is still undeniably small scale. Way gets help from his girlfriend and a rag-tag combo of beer-loving friends who live in the area.
"Friends will stop by and help label and help bottle and drink a bunch of beer, which I'm totally cool with," Way explained.
Currently Chester Beers brews four different lines: Dos Combis Summer Ale (fruit forward and crisp), Rustic Pale Ale (hoppy and floral), Obama's Redemption Stout (Smooth, with hints of coffee, and indisputably hardcore), and an India Pale Ale (full-bodied and zesty).
"They're all North American style ales brewed a little hoppier and with a little more ingredients in general," Way said. "They're brewed with that type of style and flavor in mind."
Way admits that his brews have been well received by Chileans in the area.
"They really like it," Way described. "I think they find it to be a little more complex than most beers and they defiantly note the difference between other artisanal beers here in Chile."
Chester Beer is currently available in many different hotels, restaurants, bottle shops, bars, and markets in the town of Puerto Varas, including La Gringa, Parentesis, Don Salmon, Campo Kutral, Cotelé, Bravo Cabrera, and Hostel Melmac. As Way puts it, if you're in Puerto Varas, it would be hard not to find his beers.
For adventure seeking travelers, tour operator La Comarca offers bike and beer tours to Puerto Varas and Frutillar with Chester Beer featured as a stopping point. For more information, visit Chester Beers' website or Facebook page.

One important piece of advice many experts give to those preparing for a new home loan application is to examine your debt picture–how much in monthly payments you have going out compared to how much money you have coming in. Your participating VA lender will run the numbers on a VA loan applicant's debt to income ratio -- can the applicant truly afford the home loan when the amount of that financial obligation is combined with all other monthly financial obligations?
One area that leaves some feeling particularly vulnerable is student loan debt, especially for those who have high amounts of private student loan debt. Some VA loan applicants manage to keep student loans from being added to this debt picture--do you know about how a student loan deferment could help your chances at a VA home loan?
According to information published by the VA official site at www.va.gov, "If student loan repayments are scheduled to begin within 12 months of the date of VA loan closing, lenders should consider the anticipated monthly obligation in the loan analysis. If the borrower is able to provide evidence that the debt may be deferred for a period outside that timeframe, the debt need not be considered in the analysis."
Student loan deferment procedures may vary depending on the type of debt you have. For private student loans you would need to discuss that situation with the lender--not all financial institutions have the same rules. When it comes to Federal student loans such as a Stafford or Perkins loans, loan forbearance or deferment is possible, but is definitely not automatic–you are required to apply for the deferment through your lender. For Perkins loans you would contact the school you attended under the loan.
It's not safe to assume that the procedure known as student loan forbearance is considered the same as loan deferment. According to the U.S. Department of Education official site, "For mandatory forbearances, if you meet the eligibility criteria for the forbearance, your lender is required to grant the forbearance." The Department of Education says a mandatory student loan forbearance is possible for reasons including the following:
If you need help with these issues, discuss your options on student loan forbearance and/or deferment with your loan officer to see how that may affect your VA loan application.
