We're one week away from the "Dancing With the Stars: All-Stars" semifinals, and the stakes are higher than ever. This week, each of the remaining seven couples had to perform two whole dances: an individual ballroom dance with a military theme in honor of Veterans Day and a Latin trio performance with another professional or troupe member added to their group. If that wasn't pressure enough, all the stars knew they were facing a double elimination this week.
Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani have had their best two weeks ever. They were the big swing dance marathon winners and scoreboard leaders last week. And then they added two perfect scores to the mix! And to think: Melissa was afraid that the only place to go after being in first place is down. Their quickstep, set to the Andrews Sisters' fun, upbeat "Boogie-Woogie Bugle Boy" was a great big burst of patriotism set to song. Loved their sailor outfits and how Melissa woke a sleeping Tony with a bugle.
"That was the bees' knees," Len proclaimed. Bruno likened it to "watching Ann Miller and Gene Kelly in 'On the Town.'" "I salute you guys!" Carrie Ann exclaimed. "You're on fire!"

The modules are mounted, the inverter placed, and the wiring is done—but before you (or your installer) put away the tools, commissioning procedures are necessary to verify system safety and initial performance.
Although recommended in the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) resource guide, a universal procedure for PV system commissioning has not been implemented in the United States. In Europe, many agencies are following the commissioning recommendations of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Extensive commissioning testing is commonplace for commercial-scale PV systems, and having a solid procedure for residential systems helps ensure the system is properly installed and performing optimally. This article focuses on the tests performed and tools used to commission the PV system at the Cloudview Ecofarm (see the "Commissioning Cloudview" sidebar in this article and "Increasing Production with Single-Axis Tracking" in HP153).
The following electrical tests are recommended by IEC 62446 (and by NABCEP) for commissioning:

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Feb. 13, 2013) - This document corrects and replaces the press release that was issued Feb. 8th, 2013 at 1:50PM EST. Mr. Rob Rathke was incorrectly identified as being a shareholder of Conversion when in fact he is not. Corrected copy follows:
Leo Acquisitions Corp. (TSX VENTURE:LEQ.P) ("Leo") is pleased to announce that it has signed a letter of intent (the "LOI") with Conversion Marketing-Communication Inc., a corporation existing under the laws of Ontario ("Conversion"), which outlines the general terms and conditions pursuant to which Leo and Conversion would be willing to complete a transaction that will result in a reverse take-over of Leo by the shareholders of Conversion (the "Transaction"). The LOI was negotiated at arm's length and is effective as of February 5, 2013.
The LOI is to be superseded by a definitive merger, amalgamation or share exchange agreement (the "Definitive Agreement") to be signed on or before March 31, 2013 (or such other date as may be mutually agreed in writing between Leo and Conversion). The Transaction is subject to requisite regulatory approval, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") and standard closing conditions, including the approval of the directors of each of Leo and Conversion of the Definitive Agreement and completion of due diligence investigations to the satisfaction of each of Leo and Conversion, as well as the conditions described below. The legal structure for the Transaction will be confirmed after the parties have considered all applicable tax, securities law and accounting efficiencies, however, it is currently contemplated that the transaction will be structured as a securities exchange.
Leo is incorporated under the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) with its registered and head office in Toronto, Ontario. It is a capital pool company and intends for the Transaction to constitute its "Qualifying Transaction" as such term is defined in the policies of the TSXV. Leo is a "reporting issuer" in the provinces of Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta.
Since the Transaction is not a non-arm's length transaction, Leo is not required to obtain shareholder approval for the Transaction. However, Leo intends to hold a special meeting of shareholders to approve certain matters ancillary to the Transaction, including a consolidation of its shares and changing its name to Conversion Inc.
Trading in the common shares of Leo has been halted. It is unlikely that the common shares of Leo will resume trading until the Transaction is completed and approved by the TSXV.
Subject to TSXV approval, Leo has also agreed to provide to Conversion a secured subordinate loan in the principal amount of $50,000 as soon as possible following TSXV approval of same and agreement on standard loan and security documentation acceptable to Leo and Conversion, each acting reasonably.
Conditions to Transaction
Prior to completion of the Transaction (and as conditions of closing):
The Proposed Transaction
Pre-Closing Capitalization of Leo
As of the date hereof, Leo has 8,240,500 Leo Shares issued and outstanding and securities exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, or other rights to acquire, an aggregate of 1,248,000 Existing Leo Shares at an exercise price of $0.10 per Leo Share. Upon completion of the Leo Consolidation, Leo will have 4,120,250 Leo Shares outstanding and securities exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, or other rights to acquire, an aggregate of 674,000 Leo Shares at an exercise price of $0.20 per Leo Share.
Pre-Closing Capitalization of Conversion
As of the date hereof, Conversion's authorized capital consists of an unlimited number of class A common shares, of which 4,000 are issued and outstanding, an unlimited number of class B common shares, of which 2,000 are issued and outstanding, an unlimited number of class C common shares, of which 1,000 are issued and outstanding, an unlimited number of class D common shares, of which 1,000 are issued and outstanding, an unlimited number of class E common shares, of which 1,000 are issued and outstanding, an unlimited number of class F common shares, of which 1,000 are issued and outstanding, an unlimited number of class G non-voting common shares, of which none are issued and outstanding and an unlimited number of class H non-voting common shares, of which none are issued and outstanding (all of the issued and outstanding shares of all classes collectively, the "Conversion Shares"). There are no convertible securities of Conversion currently outstanding. Conversion has an aggregate of $2.25 million of shareholder loans outstanding (the "Conversion Loans"). The Conversion Loans will be converted into Conversion Shares prior to the completion of the Qualifying Transaction and it is expected that after the conversion of the Conversion Loans, there will be 460,000 Conversion Shares issued and outstanding.
Warren Eddy, Goodwin Gibson, Jonathan Huth, Greg Geralde, and Carey Mende-Gibson together own, directly or indirectly, all of the issued and outstanding shares of Conversion. Each of the foregoing shareholders of conversion are residents of Canada.
Terms of the Transaction
Leo proposes to acquire all of the Conversion Shares pursuant to the terms of a Definitive Agreement. It is expected that each shareholder of Conversion will receive 45.65 Leo Shares (on a post-consolidation basis) for each Conversion Share held (the "Exchange Ratio") resulting in the Leo Shareholders holding approximately 16.4% of the common shares of the combined entity (the "Resulting Issuer") and the former Conversion Shareholders holding approximately 83.6% of the common shares of the Resulting Issuer upon completion of the Transaction (immediately prior to giving effect to the Offering). All classes of Conversion Shares will be exchanged for common shares of Leo in connection with the Transaction.

I was so excited when I heard about this contest and I instantly had plans for the faux ostrich I had acquired recently. I really love the simplicity, elegance and femininity of the vintage silhouette so I decided to keep my pattern simple and stick to the Elizabeth Gathered Waist Dress. I do not usually make a muslin but from the beginning realized I would have to as my fabric would not be very forgiving if I would have to pull seams out. Having seen so many peplums running around I knew I had to have one and thought separates would be a good option for this outfit, I also thought this would be the perfect opportunity to do a Peter Pan collar as well. I did not want to minimize the options for accessorizing so I made the Peter Pan collar removable.
When I decided to go with the faux ostrich I knew I wanted to use a color for the skirt. Since Emerald seems to be in this year and green is one of my favorite colors I knew the skirt had to be green. I did not want it to stand out obnoxiously though so I used an overlay to minimize the severity of the color. While visiting my parents in California we made a road trip to the Mood fabrics in LA. (I am a big fan of Project Runway and have always wanted to go to Mood. It is the sister store to the one on Project Runway and it was awesome!) While at Mood I found this great metallic green polyester knit and a fabulous spandex mesh to go over it. The sequin fabric I had in my stash, though I had to cut each row off separately in order to sew on, bit of a pain but worth it! I think it makes a great LBD too!
Thank you to my good friend Deanna for taking the pictures!
I am very pleased with how it truned out and I can't wait to wear it out with my husband
• Made Bodice and dress as separates
• Used instructions for Lillian Blouse for raising the neckline.
• Added self-drafted removable Peter Pan collar.
• Attached each row of sequins to the collar separately.
• Had to make 2 pieces for the back instead of one to account for the zipper (having changed the neckline I wouldn't be able to fit my head through otherwise).
• Used French seams on the mesh.
• Removed 32 of fullness from the skirt.
• Fully lined both bodice and skirt.
• Added a peplum to the blouse, used flounce pattern piece number 6 from the Drop Waist Dress for the peplum. I made one single piece for the front and two pieces for the back (to account for the zipper).
• The faux ostrich I used for the bodice was a bit thin and had a tiny bit of stretch to it so I used a light weight fusible interfacing to give it some stability (I did not interface the peplum pieces).
• Belt has fabric base with feathers sewn directly onto it.
• I made all the accessories (hair piece, purse, earrings, necklaces, bracelet and revamped the shoes to match)

Megaupload To DOJ: You Don't Get To Make Up The Rules That Suit You
from the rules?-where-we're-going... dept
The Government bears the burden of proving that it has validly served Megaupload within the letter of the Rule... and effectively concedes it cannot carry it. So the Government instead urges this Court to rewrite the Rule. It specifically puts forth three alternative arguments that no federal court has ever accepted, as far as we are aware, and for which it cites not a single relevant precedent.But... but... you don't understand. Since the MPAA and RIAA explained to the DOJ that Megaupload is evil and Kim Dotcom is a real life super villain, the rules don't matter, right?
First, the Government argues that, because Megaupload is aware of these proceedings and purportedly had "minimum contacts" with the United States, the Rule has no application. By this argument, the entire Rule can be disregarded wherever the Government deems it unnecessary or perhaps unduly burdensome. Second, the Government contends that, even if it must otherwise conform to the Rule, it may disregard the latter portion of the corporate-service requirement and decline to mail the summons to Megaupload. With this argument, the Government would read out of existence the express mailing requirement of Rule 4(c)(3)(C). Finally, the Government argues that, to the extent it must nod at Rule 4's mailing requirement, it may ignore the Rule's express prescription and simply send the summons to an address of its choosing. Here, the Government goes so far as to claim it can deliver the summons to Megaupload's address in Hong Kong, even though that approach would essentially strike Rule 4(c)(3)(C)'s requirement that the summons be mailed to the company's "last known address within the district or to its principal place of business elsewhere in the United States."

So a vowel ending in a plosive followed by a liquid means the syllable is long or short.

Not quite as easy as all that!
First of all, no caesura in the hexameter. You need this.
1) After the first sylllable of the third foot (Third strong)
2) After the second of the third foot (assuming it's a dactyl) AND after the first syllables of the second and fourth foot.
At least that's the impression I got from reading WhiteO's piece.
This places considerable limitations on your choice and position of words.
Second, I believe in the second foot of your hexameter the second syllable is short by position since it is a short vowel, followed by a consonant which will, unfortunately attach itself to the beginning of the next syllable, because that syllable begins with a vowel.
As for your pentameter (is the translation Watch me erring, just as I slip?)
You might want to check with WhiteO whether long vowels can elide themselves like that. I've read that diphthongs can, so probably your verse is OK.
And the envy burns me up. You seem to have quite a good grasp of elision, which to me is the real bugbear preventing any kind of progress. I suppose that once I'm used to the idea, it will be quite natural. Until then, however......
quid ri/detis a/cres || ingra/tae mihi / Musae
If you'll forgive me for entering workshopping mode briefly, the location of xrusw=| is a bit of a shock. I'd be inclined to put that in place of au)=tij (correption preserves the meter). The meter of xrusw=| is fine, of course, with the hiatus across the caesura, but the sense is hard to connect to the verb in the previous line, for me at least.
chad wrote:it gets rid of the hiatus at the caesura, and it no longer resurrects digamma at a)nassome/nwn, 2 rules in your (once again excellent) .pdf on writing elegaic couplets, as linked above.
I don't know how to get rid of the hiatus at the fem caesura in the first line though, without throwing it to the end of the line and re-writing the line: do you think I should do that as well?

Liz and I attended a panel at DesignCon that asked the question: what are you doing about the chip killers that delay your tapeout? That's an intriguing, possibly unanswerable thought, since we've asked that question virtually since EDA's inception. Ed Sperling of Systems-Level Design moderated the panel which had on it: Sunil Malkani of Broadcom, Ravi Damaraju of Juniper, Ramon Macias of NetLogic, John Busco of NVIDIA and Bernard Murphy of Atrenta.
Sperling moderated a lively discussion; questions that he or the panelists or audience posed highlighted the ongoing nature, or unanswerability of the topic. Some were:
• As designers and design managers, what keeps you up at night?
• If your design has to finish in half the time that your previous project took, do you start with a [design methodology and flow] clean slate?
• How do you get hardware and software engineers to work together?
• What's good enough to get the design out the door?
• How do you define failure?
• What's the price of failure?
• Who owns quality?
• What do you do when your next project is 4X the size of your last design? Throw people at it? Make the tools do more? Run faster? How?
• How do I turn around a design in a month and get all of these [now-required] apps on it?
• Why does place & route have to be flat?
• When will P&R, timing analysis have to break down the design hierarchically?
• How can verification be improved so that its pessimistic estimates won't require designers to over-design?
The panelists all bemoaned the dueling standards that plague EDA, attributing them to companies wanting to gain marketing advantage, to the detriment of EDA users.
Sperling will publish a transcript of this panel in a future issue of System-Level Design. Nic Mokhoff published a summary of the panel the next day.
Finally, I have a question: why does DesignCon schedule a management-level panel on a day when the exhibit floor isn't open? Doesn't help DesignCon panels' attendance, which has been paltry for years, seems to me.

Lesser Poets of the Middle and Later Nineteenth Century
§ 64. Summary.
It would be a pity to leave this
chorus vatum,
comprising more than a century of persons and extending, in point of time of poetical production, over more than seventy years, without some general remarks, which need be neither forced nor perfunctory, and which certainly need not indulge in the rhetorical,
too often recently associated with criticism. Colour on colour, whether it be bad heraldry or not, is bad history. We have regimented our poets, to some extent, as to classes differenced by subject, by sex and other considerations; but it has been freely acknowledged that the greater number are rebels to any such process. It does not, however, follow that they are a mere throng, or that the general poetical production of the last two-thirds of the nineteenth century (and, in some cases, a little of the twentieth) affords no symptoms to the systematic student of literary history. It may, therefore, be briefly considered from this point of view.
A theoryor, if that be too dignified a term, at least a notionglanced at above suggests that the commanding and protracted influence of the two greatest poets of the period, Tennyson and Browning, especially that of Tennyson, has not, on the whole, been favourable; and an extension of this idea might urge something similar, as regards the later time, with respect to Swinburne and Rossetti. It was, however, also hinted, on the former occasion, that this theory will not stand examination. In order that it might do so, it would be necessary to establish the fact that the lesser poetry of 18401900 was, generally and individually, worse than the lesser poetry of the period immediately preceding it. Now this, as it may be hoped the dispassionate examination of these two periods, in chapters of some length, has shown, is far, indeed, from being the case. In the second place, granting, for a moment, and for the sake of argument merely, that there was such deterioration, it would have to be established that it was due to these influencesa more difficult task still. The influence of Tennyson may have been apparently disastrous on such a writer as Lewis Morris; but to say that Tennysons influence produced the badness, or, rather, the nullity, of Lewis Morriss verse would be not so much uncritical as purely absurd. Perhaps those who hold the view referred to may contend that it is not so much definite imitation that they mean as a certain overawing and smothering influencethat the lesser poets of the period felt like Cassius in regard to Caesar, as petty men in the presence of the colossus Tennyson, and dared not show their real powers. To this, again, it can be answered that there is no evidence of it whatever, and that, if they did so feel, they must have been a feeble folk from whom no great poetry could be expected in any circumstances.
Brushing all this, and other fantasies, aside and taking the ford as we find it, there is, beyond all question, in this long period and among this crowd of lesser singers, an amount of diffused poetry which cannot be paralleled in any other age or country except, perhaps, in our own land and language between 1580 and 1674. At no period, not even then, has the standard of technical craftsmanship been so high; at none has there been anything like such variety of subject and, to a rather less extent, of tone. Nor can we exactly charge against these writers, as, it was claimed, we might against the intermediates of the earlier century, an uncertainty of step or objectan obviously transitional character. If a fault can be found with this poetry generallyand it is a fault which, as the detailed criticism offered above should show, presses lightly on some, though heavily on othersit is a want at once of spontaneity and of concentration, which results in a further want of individuality. And this may be regarded as due, not to the imitation of this or that contemporary poet, but to a too general
to what has been called the obsession of the printed book. These poets, as a rule, have read rather too much; and, if the reading has polished their form, it has sometimes palled and weakened their spirit.
We may extend the ungracious task of the devils advocate a little further, partly returning upon and collecting points hinted at already. In, perhaps, no period of poetry has there been, even allowing the proper average for gross bulk of production, so large a number of first books of verse which have excited the hopes even of experienced and somewhat sceptical critics, only to disappoint the hopes and confirm the scepticism by subsequent failureor, at any rate, failure to improve. At no timethis point, no doubt, is, in many cases, pretty closely connected with the lasthas there been such a dissipation, in the waste and evaporating waters of mere journalism or journey-work, of powers which might well have ripened into more generous and lasting wine of poetry. And, even in the case of those who have never left their first loves, there has seldom been produced such a bulk of what we have here several times in individual cases, unconcentrated workpoetic negus, as one might designate itsweet and spiced and pleasant to the taste and fairly comforting, but watered and sophisticated. Undoubtedly, these things are very largely due to those very circumstances which have just been mentionedto the positive inability of a large proportion of the poets concerned to indulge that engrossing and exclusive disposition of the muse which has been often noticed; perhaps to some general conditions of the timesocial, political, religious and other; certainly to that over-literariness which has been admitted. Yet, these allowances and explanations are still allowances and explanations only. They do not remove or alter the fact.
Nevertheless, these poets have given us a pretty extensive paradise of sometimes very dainty delights to wander in and feed upon; and it should be not impossible to play the Parkinson to some of its classes of flower and fruitthe Paterson to its main roads and places. The whole region is dominated by the two general principles of the earlier romantic movement, the increased and ever increasing appeal to the senses of the mind; the ingemination of varied sound; and the multiplication of varied form and colour. A second notable thing, connected closely with the first, is the prevalence of lyric in the widest sense, including sonnets, ballads, odes, short poems of more or less single situation, emotion or thought, and the like, in whatever form. The closet drama and the long poem are, of course, attempted and even sometimes with a certain popularity, if only for a time; but never with entire success to the satisfaction of critical judgment by any poet surveyed in this chapter. Songs and sonnets, in the old acceptation, are your later nineteenth-century poets onlyor, at least, his chief and principalwear an ware. Further, there are curious strains or veins of poetic manner which emerged at the beginning and continue to manifest themselves until, practically, the end. One is the spasmodic, which has never been without representatives, for better for worse, from Bailey to Davidson. The style most opposite to this is the quietly classical, having its most powerful exponent outside our list in Matthew Arnold, but represented not unworthily in that list itself. A most prominent feature is that revival and extension of aureate language which was one of the main objects of the pre-Raphaelites, and has never had, not even in Rossetti sixty years since, a more audacious practitioner than Francis Thompson, who died but the other day. We have noted, too, in the last twenty or thirty years, a kind of what has been called violencea development in one direction of the spasmodic association itself with the so-called realist tendencies of the time. The artificial forms practised by no mean poets for a considerable period must, also, keep their place, whatever it be, in history.
But the attraction and the charm of poetrythough it is a vulgar error to suppose that they are in the least injured or lessened, palled or withered, by applying to them historical and analytic considerationsare, after all, independent of these. Is there good and delightful poetry here? that is the question; and it can be most unhesitatingly answered There is. A new Johnson or Anderson or Chalmers, containing all the works of all the poets noticed in this chapter would be a vast collectionone would have to be, or to employ, a very skilful and industrious caster-off to estimate its extent. It would certainly far exceed the twenty-one volumes of Chalmers and might come near the scores or hundreds of the
Parnaso Italiano.
Some volumes or parts of volumes (which need not be again indicated) would be seldom disturbed and rapidly left alone again by the few disturbers. But, on the whole, an astonishing amount of poetic pleasure would be available in the collectionsome of it for all, and all of it for some, who care for poetry. This chapter, perhaps, is already too long; but it may be permitted to lay a little final stress on the remarkable absence, in the period and production considered as a whole, of monotony. The very excess of literariness which has been admitted escapes this condemnation (easily applicable to some other times), because of the immense extent of the literature from which suggestion has been taken. Classical literature, and medieval, foreign of all nations and languages in modern timeshistory, religion, philosophy, art of all times and kindshave been drawn upon, as well as the never-ending resources of nature and of life. Neither, it may be confidently affirmed, despite the admissions which have been required, has this vast variety of subject and of form failed to meet an at least fairly corresponding diversity of talent and even of genius in the poets dealing with it.
Note 48
. As a matter of simple historic fact, revolt of one kind or another from Tennyson is, from the days of Matthew Arnold, downwards, much more noticeable than servile imitation of him. It is, perhaps, permissible and even desirable to add that this summing up is strictly directed at, and limited to, the actual subjects of the chapter. No innuendo is intended as regards poets who are still living.

3. How to use Genotropin MiniQuick
4. Possible side effects
5 How to store Genotropin MiniQuick
6. Further information
1. What Genotropin MiniQuick is and what it is used for
Genotropin MiniQuick is a recombinant human growth hormone (also called somatropin). It has the
same structure as natural human growth hormone which is needed for bones and muscles to grow. It
also helps your fat and muscle tissues to develop in the right amounts. It is recombinant meaning it is
not made from human or animal tissue.
In children, Genotropin MiniQuick is used to treat growth disturbances:
• If you are not growing properly and you do not have enough of your own growth hormone.
• If you have Turner syndrome. Turner syndrome is a chromosomal error in girls that can affect
growth - your doctor will have told you if you have this.
• If you have chronic renal (kidney) insufficiency. As kidneys lose their ability to function normally,
this can affect growth.
• If you have Prader-Willi syndrome (a chromosomal disorder). Growth hormone will help you grow
taller if you are still growing, and will also improve your body composition. Your excessive fat will
decrease and your reduced muscle mass will improve.
• If you were small or too light at birth. Growth hormone can help you grow taller if you have not
been able to catch up or maintain normal growth by four years of age or later.
In adults, Genotropin MiniQuick is used to treat persons with pronounced growth hormone deficiency.
This can start during adult life, or it can continue from childhood.
If you have been treated with Genotropin MiniQuick for growth hormone deficiency during childhood,
your growth hormone status will be retested after completion of growth. If severe growth hormone
Do not use Genotropin MiniQuick and tell your doctor if
• You are allergic (hypersensitive) to somatropin or any of the other ingredients of Genotropin
• You have an active tumour (cancer). Tumours must be inactive and you must have finished your
anti-tumour treatment before you start your treatment with Genotropin MiniQuick.
• You are seriously ill (for example, complications following open heart surgery, abdominal surgery,
acute respiratory failure, accidental trauma or similar conditions). If you are about to have, or have
had, a major operation, or go into hospital for any reason, tell your doctor and remind the other
doctors you are seeing that you use growth hormone.
• Genotropin MiniQuick has been prescribed to stimulate growth but you have already stopped
growing (closed epiphyses).
Take special care with Genotropin MiniQuick and tell your doctor if any of the following
statements apply to you
• If you are at risk of developing diabetes, your doctor will need to monitor your blood sugar level
during treatment with Genotropin MiniQuick.
• If you have diabetes, you should closely monitor your blood sugar level during treatment with
Genotropin MiniQuick and discuss the results with your doctor to determine whether you need to
change the dose of your medicines to treat diabetes.
• After starting Genotropin treatment some patients may need to start thyroid hormone
• If you are receiving treatment with thyroid hormones it may be necessary to adjust your thyroid
hormone dose.
• If you are taking growth hormone to stimulate growth and walk with a limp or if you start to limp
during your growth hormone treatment due to pain in your hip, you should inform your doctor.
• If you develop raised intracranial pressure (with symptoms such as strong headache, visual
disturbances or vomiting) you should inform your doctor about it.
• If you are receiving Genotropin MiniQuick for growth hormone deficiency following a previous
tumour (cancer), you should be examined regularly for recurrence of the tumour or any other
• If you experience worsening abdominal pain you should inform your doctor.
• Experience in patients above 80 years of age is limited. Elderly persons may be more sensitive to
the action of Genotropin MiniQuick, and therefore may be more prone to develop side effects.
Children with chronic renal (kidney) insufficiency:
• Your doctor should examine your kidney function and your growth rate before starting Genotropin
MiniQuick. Medical treatment for your kidney condition should be continued. Genotropin MiniQuick
treatment should be stopped at kidney transplantation.
Children with Prader-Willi syndrome:
• Your doctor will give you diet restrictions to follow to control your weight.
• Your doctor will assess you for signs of upper airway obstruction, sleep apnoea (where your
breathing is interrupted during sleep), or respiratory infection before you start treatment with
Genotropin MiniQuick.
• During treatment, if you show signs of upper airway obstruction (including starting to snore or
worsening of snoring), your doctor will need to examine you and may interrupt your treatment with
Genotropin MiniQuick.
• During treatment, your doctor will check you for signs of scoliosis, a type of spinal deformity.
• During treatment, if you develop a lung infection, tell your doctor so that he can treat the infection.
Children born small or too light at birth:
• If you were small or too light at birth and are aged between 9 and 12 years, ask your doctor for
specific advice relating to puberty and treatment with this product.
• Your doctor will check your blood sugar and insulin levels before the start of treatment and every
year during treatment.
• Treatment should be continued until you have stopped growing.
Using other medicines
Please tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using or have recently used any other medicines,
including medicines obtained without a prescription.
You should tell your doctor if you are using:
• medicines to treat diabetes,
• thyroid hormones,
• synthetic adrenal hormones (corticosteroids),
• sex hormones (for example oestrogens),
• ciclosporin (a medicine that weakens the immune system after transplantation),
• medicines to control epilepsy (anticonvulsants).
Your doctor may need to adjust the dose of these medicines or the dose of Genotropin MiniQuick.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
You should not use Genotropin if you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant or are trying to
become pregnant.
Ask your doctor for advice before using this medicine while breast-feeding.
Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking any medicine.
Important information about some of the ingredients of Genotropin MiniQuick
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg) per dose, i.e. essentially 'sodium-free'.
3. How To Use Genotropin Miniquick
Recommended dosage
The dose depends on your size, the condition for which you are being treated and how well growth
hormone works for you. Everyone is different. Your doctor will advise you about your individualised dose
of Genotropin MiniQuick in milligrams (mg) from either your body weight in kilograms (kg) or your body
surface area calculated from your height and weight in square metres (m2), as well as your treatment
schedule. Do not change the dosage and treatment schedule without consulting your doctor.
Children with growth hormone deficiency:
0.025-0.035 mg/kg bodyweight per day or 0.7-1.0 mg/m2 body surface area per day. Higher doses
can be used. When growth hormone deficiency continues into adolescence, Genotropin MiniQuick
should be continued until completion of physical development.
Children with Turner syndrome:
0.045-0.050 mg/kg bodyweight per day or 1.4 mg/m2 body surface area per day.
Children with chronic renal (kidney) insufficiency:
0.045-0.050 mg/kg bodyweight per day or 1.4 mg/m2 body surface area per day. Higher doses may
be necessary if the rate of growth is too low. Dosage adjustment may be necessary after 6 months of
Children with Prader-Willi syndrome:
0.035 mg/kg bodyweight per day or 1.0 mg/m2 body surface area per day. The daily dosage should
not exceed 2.7 mg. Treatment should not be used in children who have almost stopped growing after
Children born smaller or lighter than expected and with growth disturbance:
0.035 mg/kg bodyweight per day or 1.0 mg/m2 body surface area per day. It is important to continue
treatment until final height is reached. Treatment should be discontinued after the first year if you are
not responding or if you have reached your final height and stopped growing.
Adults with growth hormone deficiency:
If you continue Genotropin MiniQuick after treatment during childhood you should start with
0.2-0.5 mg per day. This dosage should be gradually increased or decreased according to blood test
results as well as clinical response and side effects.
If your growth hormone deficiency starts during adult life you should start with 0.15-0.3 mg per day.
This dosage should be gradually increased according to blood test results as well as clinical response
and side effects. The daily maintenance dose seldom exceeds 1.0 mg per day. Women may require
higher doses than men. Dosage should be monitored every 6 months. Persons above 60 years
should start with a dose of 0.1-0.2 mg per day which should be slowly increased according to
individual requirements. The minimum effective dose should be used. The maintenance dose seldom
exceeds 0.5 mg per day. Follow the instructions given to you by your doctor.
Injecting Genotropin MiniQuick
Genotropin MiniQuick is intended for subcutaneous use. This means that it is injected through a short
injection needle into the fatty tissue just under your skin. Your doctor should have already shown you
how to use Genotropin MiniQuick. Always inject Genotropin MiniQuick exactly as your doctor has told
you. You should check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
Please see the "Instructions for Use" at the end of the package leaflet for advice on how to use your
Genotropin MiniQuick. If you cannot remember what to do, do not try to do your injection. Ask your
doctor to show you again.
You can take your growth hormone out of the refrigerator half an hour before your injection. This lets
it warm up slightly and can make your injections more comfortable.
Remember to wash your hands and clean your skin first.
Inject your growth hormone at about the same time every day. Bedtime is a good time because it is
easy to remember. It is also natural to have a higher level of growth hormone at night.
Most people do their injections into their thigh or their bottom. Do your injection in the place you have
been shown by your doctor. Fatty tissue of the skin can shrink at the site of injection. To avoid it, use
a slightly different place for your injection each time. This gives your skin and the area under your
skin time to recover from one injection before it gets another one in the same place.
If you use more Genotropin MiniQuick than you should
If you inject much more than you should, contact your doctor or pharmacist as soon as possible. Your
blood sugar level could fall too low and later rise too high. You might feel shaky, sweaty, sleepy or
"not yourself", and you might faint.
If you forget to use Genotropin MiniQuick
Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.
It is best to take your growth hormone regularly. If you forget to take a dose, have your next injection
at the usual time the next day. Keep a note of any missed injections and tell your doctor at your next
If you stop using Genotropin MiniQuick
Ask for advice from your doctor before you stop using Genotropin MiniQuick.
If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
4. Possible Side Effects
Like all medicines, Genotropin MiniQuick can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
The very common and common side effects in adults may start within the first months of treatment
and may either stop spontaneously or if your dose is reduced.
Very common side effects (likely to occur in more than 1 in 10 patients) include:
In adults
• Joint pain
• Water retention (which shows as puffy fingers or swollen ankles).
Common side effects (likely to occur in fewer than 1 in 10 patients) include:
In children:
• Temporary reddening, itchiness or pain at the injection site.
• Joint pain
In adults:
• Numbness / tingling,
• Stiffness in the arms and legs, muscle pain,
• Pain or burning sensation in the hands or underarms (known as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome)
Uncommon side effects (likely to occur in fewer than 1 in 100 patients) include:
In children:
• Water retention (which shows as puffy fingers or swollen ankles, for a short time at the start of treatment).
Rare side effects (likely to occur in fewer than 1 in 1,000 patients) include:
In children:
• Numbness / tingling,
• Leukaemia (This has been reported in a small number of growth hormone deficiency patients,
some of whom have been treated with somatropin. However, there is no evidence that leukaemia
incidence is increased in growth hormone recipients without predisposing factors).
• Increased intracranial pressure (which causes symptoms such as strong headache, visual
disturbances or vomiting).
• Muscle pain
Not known: frequency cannot be estimated from the available data
• Type 2 diabetes.
• A decrease in the levels of the hormone Cortisol in your blood.
In children:
• Stiffness in the arms and legs
In adults:
• Increased intracranial pressure (which causes symptoms such as strong headache, visual
disturbances or vomiting).
• Reddening, itchiness or pain at the injection site
Formation of antibodies to the injected growth hormone but these do not seem to stop the growth
hormone from working.
The skin around the injection area can get uneven or lumpy, but this should not happen if you inject
in a different place each time.
There have been rare cases of sudden death in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome. However, no link
has been made between these cases and treatment with Genotropin MiniQuick.
Slipped capital femoral epiphysis and Legg-Calve-Perthes disease may be considered by your doctor
if discomfort or pain in the hip or knee is experienced whilst being treated with Genotropin.

Life is going swimmingly well for Amanda Beard: her baby girl is here!
The seven-time Olympic medalist and her husband Sacha Brown welcomed their second child on Wednesday, the new mom shared Thursday on her blog, Swim Like a Mom.
"Doone Isla Brown was born happy and healthy June 19th at 3:34 p.m.," Beard, 31, writes.
Along with the announcement, the mom-of-two — the couple are already parents to son Blaise Ray, 3½ — shared a sweet snapshot of her bundled up baby girl, seen snuggled in her hospital hat and blanket.
"So far this pregnancy has been a lot easier. I've only been sick a couple of times and I have way more energy," Beard told PEOPLE while announcing the pregnancy in February.

Adrian Peterson Says Pay Johnny Manziel
Redshirt sophomore quarterback Johnny Manziel is being investigated by the NCAA for allegedly signing autographs for a profit, and Minnesota Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson thinks Manziel should get paid.
Manziel won the Heisman Trophy a year ago after a record-setting redshirt freshman season that involved a win over Alabama, and Cotton Bowl victory over Oklahoma.
Peterson told FoxSports.com that Manziel and other college football players should get paid. Peterson explains, "I think so. The universities are making a lot of money off student-athletes in general. So, yeah, he should be able to make money. I think so. They make millions off of these athletes and made millions off the guys I played with as well. Yeah, he should be getting paid."
The Texas A&M University System chancellor agreed with Peterson that college athletes should be paid in an interview with NBC 5's Chris Van Horne yesterday. "I also think that there's something, you know this is just me talking not as a chancellor of the system, something is wrong when we can make money off of our football players, the NCAA make money off of our college football players, and they can't be treated like Olympic athletes."
Since the NCAA investigation with Manziel for allegedly profiting off his own name by signing autographs, the NCAA has stopped selling jerseys at ShopNCAAsports.com and pulled their name from EA Sports' popular NCAA Football video game to avoid sounding like a hypocrite.
