In this collection, menus satisfy tastes from traditional to trendy.
The north region spreads like a wide bracelet from west to east with widely varied charms suspended from each side. In this collection of cuisines and techniques, menus satisfy tastes from traditional to trendy. Beginning on the west end in Valparaiso, diners have been gobbling up turkey specialties at Strongbow Inn for more than 70 years while just across town Bistro 157 is experimenting with fusion dishes combining Asian and French cuisine in inventive ways. For a sweet treat, don't miss supersized cupcakes at Designer Desserts. Head north where Chesterton and Michigan City cater to appetites whipped up by the Indiana Dunes and Lake Michigan. Lucrezia Cafe's specialties feature the freshest greens. For simple goodness try a tuna salad sandwich with veggie chips at Red Cup Café and Deli, or get one to go on your way to the Dunes. Michigan City's ShoreLine Brewery gives patrons a chance to nosh further, complementing its casual menu of burgers and sandwiches with its own award-winning handcrafted beers in a friendly setting near the Dunes. Five miles north, family friendly Stop 50 Wood Fired Pizzeria bakes thin crust pizzas with imaginative toppings such as pistachios, prosciutto and Parmigiano Reggiano.
Heading east, the road travels to a different time zone—jumping ahead an hour to Eastern time—yet you can still kick back. In resort towns like Culver, visitors dine lakeside at Edgewater Grille or watch the water in Winona Lake where Cerulean Restaurant woos customers with sushi and bento boxes. Farther north in Elkhart, Goshen, South Bend and Mishawaka, the dining options multiply as the South Bend Chocolate Factory fills a craving for handmade chocolates while upscale gourmet delights such as South Bend's Carriage House and LaSalle Grill impart a taste of the finer things. To top it off, enjoy family fare in Amish Country where Das Dutchman Essenhaus welcomes young and old to Indiana's largest family restaurant with its heaping helpings of homemade noodles and pastries—all made on-site. In Goshen, discover small plate dishes with robust flavors at Kelly Jae's Café, an Asian-influenced tapas restaurant. The Vine combines seafood and steak entrees with a nice selection of wines by the bottle and/or glass in downtown Elkhart. South Bend Chocolate Factory A free 20-minute tour (with samples!) provides an up-close look at the process of turning chocolate into delectable treats. After everyone dons hairnets (no exceptions), the tour begins with a brief history of chocolate and an explanation of how cacao is grown. In the kitchen, chocolate is melted, blended with other ingredients, molded into shapes and "enrobed" on popcorn, malt balls, nuts and more. After smelling the cocoa concoctions, visitors are more than ready for the free samples distributed throughout the tour. A sample bag is included, and if your appetite exceeds your sack, stock up on discounted chocolates in the on-site outlet store. Tours available 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday–Friday and 9 am to 3 pm Saturday. Walk-ins are welcome, but reservations are recomended. LaSalle Grill Upscale and exceptional, this is the kind of place usually found in only more cosmopolitan cities. The LaSalle Grill transformed the old St. Joseph Hotel into an AAA Four-Diamond restaurant with an excellent chophouse menu. The hotel's former lobby, with its high ceilings, serves as the main dining space where warm woods and fine art pair with an imaginative menu. Chef Thomas Sheridan changes the menu to reflect new ideas and seasonal ingredients. Expect hardwood-grilled steaks, along with chicken, seafood, duck and lamb. While delicious, dinner for two can be pricey ($150). For something a bit more casual, head to the third floor for Club LaSalle, a comfortable lounge with live entertainment, cocktails on plush leather couches, and cigars in the club's Cigar Parlor. The Carriage House Dining Room Tucked in a restored 1851 church, The Carriage House is a delight of a destination restaurant, serving artistically executed classic dishes in a beautifully gracious setting.Double doors open to a cozy dining room with a soaring ceiling. The furniture is antique, the art is museum quality, the service is attentive, and the food is excellent. Dinners begin with the complimentary Carriage House liver pate and pickle plate. It's followed by a house salad of mixed greens with endive and oranges, topped with a honey-glazed pear and pecans. The signature veal Baltimore, lightly breaded veal cutlets with shiitake mushrooms and onions, lump crab and a velvety cream sauce, is simply amazing. The dessert cart tempts with mile-high lemon meringue pie, apple cake and triple chocolate cake, among other delectable sweets. The dining room is open Tuesday through Saturday evenings; reservations preferred.
The Vine The Vine expresses a chic, European feel in a restored 19th-century building with an outdoor patio in downtown Elkhart. As the name implies, The Vine emphasizes its wine list, which includes nice varietals, plus a revolving menu of about 20 wines by the glass.The restaurant's signature appetizer, Mike's Hot Crab Dip, is a blend of crabmeat and mildly spicy sharp cheddar served with garlic toast. Entrees emphasize red meat and seafood, including grilled rack of lamb, lobster ravioli and Cajun-style salmon fillet. Some vegetarian options are on the menu as well, like the spinach and garlic ravioli and the Fra Diablo, penne pasta with mushrooms and a mildly spicy tomato-vodka sauce. For lighter dishes and smaller appetites, try the specialty pizzas including the Tuscan Vineyard with Alfredo sauce, basil chicken, bacon, spinach and tomatoes. Das Dutchman Essenhaus Das Dutchman Essenhaus, Indiana's largest family restaurant, seats more than 1,000 people and serves hearty meals three times a day.Located inside a massive two-story, white frame house, the restaurant is divided into buffet and menu dining rooms. The 20 hot and cold items at the Thresher's breakfast buffet include eggs, breakfast meats and fresh fruit. French toast, hot cakes, omelets and fried mush fill out the full menu. At dinner, visitors can choose from chicken, roast beef or ham dinners served family-style with sides of mashed potatoes, noodles, vegetables, gravy, dressing, hot-baked rolls and dessert. (The Essenhaus creates more than 30 varieties of home-baked pies including the popular Red Raspberry Creme and seasonal Strawberry Rhubarb.) Dinner is $15.50-$16.50, depending upon your meat selection, with discounts for kids. In addition to the restaurant, the Essenhaus complex includes a hotel, conference center, bakery, shops, mini golf and more! Kelly Jae's Cafe Exposed brick walls give this Asian-inspired cafe an upscale look while maintaining a chic atmosphere that's casual and friendly. Located in a renovated historic downtown building, Kelly Jae's Cafe is surrounded by Goshen's boutique shopping and coffee shops. The restaurant's menu blends Asian flavors with the Spanish tapas concept of small plates, with cold and hot dishes. Look for pairings like wasabi guacamole with crispy wontons and roasted potatoes with melted Manchego cheese. The crab cakes with tomato-caper remoulade and the wasabi-pea-encrusted salmon with Thai chile paste and a soy-ginger glaze are especially good. Kelly Jae's Cafe offers a full bar and a pretty impressive wine list with several Spanish varietals.Cerulean Restaurant and Sushi Lounge
With a beautiful view of Winona Lake, Cerulean offers an eclectic menu of Asian-Mediterranean fusion cuisine.Named for a color of blue, the hue is used generously throughout the interior and creates a Zen-like feeling. The mix of bamboo and teak-color woods and modern lighting feels minimal and modern at the same time.The seasonal menu focuses on seafood, sushi (more than three dozen choices) and Asian-Mediterranean fusion dishes, which use fresh ingredients. Diners will find a huge selection of pasta, chicken, beef and seafood options. Choose from entrees such as Australian lobster tail over three-cheese ravioli and mint pesto cream, duck breast with blueberry-green peppercorn chutney, and lamb chops with crispy goat cheese potatoes, mache lettuce, olive salsita and a Merlot reduction. And as you might imagine, the prices reflect the ingredients. Most entrees are $24 to $34 with some topping out at $42.The Edgewater Grille A wall of windows frames stunning views of Lake Maxinkuckee to add to the nautical feel of this restaurant. Surfboards on the walls and boats hanging from the ceiling—nicely coupled with old Rexall and Max Wax signs—complement the understated black wood furniture, white tablecloths and abundant natural light.The menu runs the gamut from appetizers, salads and sandwiches to full entrees (steak, seafood, pasta, lamb, ribs). For something a bit different, consider sampling one of the stir-fry specials, 12-inch pizzas or a chicken, steak, tuna or Italian sausage hoagie. Other options include a seafood platter (shrimp, grouper and crab cakes), Mediterranean chicken and coconut tempura shrimp, with pineapple-wasabi pico di gallo sauce.Edgewater brews its own beer—Maxinkuckee Mist—using water from its namesake, and has a complete list of wines, beers and cocktails.Strongbow Inn For more than 70 years, family-owned and operated Strongbow Inn has served turkey specialties every day of the week.You don't have to wait for the holidays for turkey at Strongbow Inn, once the site of a turkey farm. The traditional decor and home-style menu is as comfortable as Grandma's house. Definitely try the turkey in one of the many ways it's served, including traditional sliced turkey, tasty turkey schnitzel, turkey Marsala or the Gobbler's Delight--a whole turkey leg. The Strongbow turkey pie includes generous chunks of turkey in gravy, baked in a pastry shell. The turkey pie comes to the table with a side of gravy, mashed potatoes, herbed dressing, cranberries and dinner rolls so delicious that they're worth loosening your belt for. The Sunday brunch is a big draw. Expect to wait for a table during buffet hours, 10:30 am to 2 pm, though reservations aren't necessary most other times. Designer Desserts This studio-sweet shop is an explosion for your senses. The colors hit you at the door, the aroma is amazing, and (once you decide), the flavors win you over!Owner Adam Wiltfang has been whipping up decadent cakes for six years, earning the official baker status at nearby Michigan City's Blue Chip Casino. You'll win big at the sweet shop with over-the-top cupcakes that require a fork. Choose from more than 15 decadent delectables daily, but the jumbo old-school chocolate cupcake and flamboyant coconut cream are consistent customer favorites. Plunk down in poufy armchairs to indulge in cupcakes, pies, cakes, cookies, cheesecakes, muffins, brownies and mousses. You can get Adam's pink-o-licious hot chocolate (white chocolate colored with pink food coloring) poured year-round. The girly, swirly, pastel-color shop also serves lunch. Adam recently added a full-service candy counter. Choose from chocolate-covered nuts, truffles, new and exciting candies, and standby favorites from Grandma's crystal candy dish. Bistro 157 Chef Nicole Bissonnette's contemporary Bistro 157 in downtown Valparaiso draws foodies from Chicago. Exposed beams with industrial lighting highlight contemporary artwork that adorns gallery-style walls in the bistro. The presentation of French-Asian cuisine is just as artful, made with farm-fresh ingredients that change regularly, reflecting the Midwest's seasonal bounty.While seated at the bar sipping a glass of wine, many patrons make a meal of the appetizers and the fresh bread. The six-piece sushi appetizer changes daily. Balance the surf nibbles with juicy Kobe beef baby burgers. The summertime must-have salad: oven-roasted beets topped with broiled goat cheese croutons, roasted walnuts, orange slices and shaved fennel drizzled with citron-olive oil vinaigrette. Lucrezia Cafe Lucrezia transforms a tiny Victorian house into a lovely trattoria, serving delicious Northern Italian cuisine in a cozy dining room or alfresco.Named for a renaissance femme fatale, Lucrezia is a knockout in the fine dining category, serving an impressively wide menu for a restaurant that seats 40 people. The intimate setting is warm and inviting and matches the service. Seasonal specials can be found on the chalkboard near the tiny bar, a prime spot while waiting for a table to open. Lucrezia is known for super tender roasted lamb shank, as well as pastas, grilled meats and seafood dishes. Meals begin with warm sliced bread and olive oil, which is so popular it's sold next door at Good to Go by Lucrezia, an even tinier house. The food tastes as good as it looks and utilizes seasonal ingredients like spring peas, which explode in your mouth. Red Cup Cafe and Deli Small-town goodness is a main ingredient in this downtown historic building, once home to a hardware store.Some of the original details remain—like a multi-drawer cabinet-counter, corner water pump and beaded-board ceiling that resembles a giant red-and-white quilt.Owned by Chrissie Jackson, Red Cup is Chesterton's hub of daytime social life. Locals gather to share news over fresh-brewed coffee, homemade coffee cake, scones and biscotti. Red Cup's relaxed crunchy granola atmosphere makes it easy to extend morning coffee into a lunch of one of the sandwich, quiche, soup and salad selections posted on the blackboard. Or take your meal to go for a picnic at the woodsy and beach spots just 5 miles north at Lake Michigan and the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. Everything is made on the spot and worth the slight wait time. For a real indulgence, get the peach crumble coffee cake.ShoreLine Brewery and Restaurant This microbrewery raises the culinary bar with an upscale and inventive menu that complements its handcrafted brews.The entire brewery operation is on-site and serves as part of the decor: A high wall of windows in the main bar and dining area lets patrons look in on the operation. Seating is comfortable and spacious, with substantial wood dining tables topped with butcher paper, maintaining a brewpub atmosphere. But the menu is not your typical pub grub. The brewery serves high-end entrees such as mahi mahi risotto, chicken breast in a mushroom-brandy cream sauce and slow-cooked lamb shank covered in oatmeal stout beer demiglace. The menu also includes simpler steak and pasta dishes, along with a roster of sandwiches, homemade soups and good-looking salads. A chalkboard on the wall lists a half-dozen beer offerings, including Singing Sands oatmeal stout, Curse the Goat dopplebock, a light blueberry ale called Stella Blue, and Beltaine Scottish ale, a two-time winner in an international beer competition. Stop 50 Wood Fired Pizzeria
Open seasonally, this neighborhood pizzeria specializes in Naples-style wood-oven pizza using fresh ingredients.Stop 50 Pizza has managed to transform a former convenience store into a destination restaurant near the shores of Lake Michigan. The warm and inviting atmosphere complements the blazing wood-fired brick oven you can view while your pie bakes. The imaginative menu makes for tough decisions with options like Parmigiano-Reggiano with red onion, pistachios and rosemary; wild mushroom; and prosciutto with pistachios, mozzarella and rosemary. The thin pizzas are small (12 inches); plan to order one per person. Specialties also include fresh salads, tasty appetizers like firecrackers (goat cheese baked in a spicy tomato dipping sauce, served with roasted bread sticks), local beers, selected wines, cappuccino and delicious house-made gelato.This family-friendly spot is open daily from Memorial Day to Labor Day, weekends only in spring and fall. Closed December through February.

Really I am going to do the exact same thing, even strangely I have the same year car and it is even the same color. I also have 360 dodge engine that I would like to put in it. If anyone has any information I would like to try to ask Jason Pipkin about measurements and things of that nature, So my students and I could get to work building our drag car. We have been challenged by two other high schools to compete in May against them at our local dragstrip in Mo. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Economic innovation in Michigan slowed significantly at the end of 2007, according to UM-Dearborn study
June 2, 2008
DEARBORN / June 2, 2008---Innovative economic activity in Michigan slowed significantly in the fourth quarter of 2007, falling from 95.8 in the third quarter of the year to 89.9 in the fourth quarter, according to an innovation index developed by scholars at the University of Michigan-Dearborn School of Management.
The reading for the fourth quarter of 2007 was also lower than the 97.7 recorded in the same quarter of 2006.
The quarterly Innovation Index is a project of the schools Center for Innovation Research, or iLabs. The index was developed to track accelerations and decelerations in economic innovation in Michigan based on calculations of employment of innovation workers, trends in venture capital, trademark applications, incorporation activity, small business loans and gross job creation.
Five of the six components showed declines the last quarter of the year, according to Lee Redding, associate professor of business economics and director of the Innovation Index. The only factor to buck the trend was investment in venture capital, which bounced back somewhat from low levels in the third quarter of the year, Redding said.
On the negative side, Bureau of Labor Statistics data for the fourth quarter showed a modest drop in employment in science and technology in the state. While still in the negative column, the employment losses were slower in the fourth quarter than in the third quarter of 2007.
In addition, the number of loans arranged by the Detroit office of the Small Business Administration continued to decline, Redding said. Since peaking in the second quarter of 2006, SBA loan activity has dropped in five of the six subsequent quarters.
And after increasing for four quarters in a row, trademark applications by Michigan enterprises declined in the fourth quarter.
Incorporation activity and formation of limited-liability companies were down 14 percent in the last quarter of 2007 compared with the last quarter of 2006.
State employers added approximately 225,000 gross new jobs in the third quarter of 2007, a decline of approximately 14,000 from the previous quarter. (Due to data availability, this item is added to the Innovation Index one quarter later than the other data.) While this number is roughly the same as the year-earlier figure, the decline from the second quarter had a dampening effect on our index, Redding said.
We developed the UM-Dearborn Innovation Index to evaluate innovative activity in the state in a timely way, Redding said. Many innovation studies have delays of two years or more. Weve identified a number of economic innovation variables that are available with relatively short delays, making it possible for us to calculate an innovation index for a given quarter five months after the end of the quarter.
The Innovation Index for the first quarter of 2008 will be released in September. Redding collaborates on the project with Anne-Louise Statt, a lecturer in business economics at UMDearborn, and Gary Hein, who graduated from the School of Management earlier this spring.

My buddies and I are hiking Mount Washington this coming weekend 12/6 and I have a few questions im hoping someone can help out with.
We have hiked to the summit on different trails probably 15 times over the years however I havent gone this late in the year (We last went end of October 08).
I am thinking of taking one of the trails at the Pinkam Notch entrance on the East side and was wondering which trails do people recommend from there and why? Also I see one of the trails hits the auto-road in a couple of spots and was wondering what the name of that trail might be.
Also does the Pinkham Notch center have trail maps?
I think we are set as far as gear goes with Compass, Snow shoes, Gators, Crampons, goggles, layers etc and one of us might bring a rope but if there is anything else you recommend for a summit hike please let me know.
Thanks very much in advance for your help!


text: I was just going to ask a similar question. I bought my first bow last spring. It's a 'Prowler SE', (2004 model I bought brand new as a holdover) and I don't know what kind of strings it has. If Martin's DH strings are new for '06, than obviously it's not the one on my bow. Mine is showing some fraying and peep movement, and will be replaced very soon, so I was wondering what string I have now, because I don't want another one! Right now I'm considering Vapor Trail and Wolfden strings, but being a relatively new bowhunter, I am always open to suggestions!

Dr. Rajiv Shah serves as the 16th Administrator of USAID and leads the efforts of more than 9,600 professionals in 80 missions around the world.
Since being sworn in on Dec. 31, 2009, Shah managed the U.S. Government's response to the devastating 2010 earthquake in Port-au-Prince, Haiti; co-chaired the State Department's first review of American diplomacy and development operations; and now spearheads President Barack Obama's landmark Feed the Future food security initiative. He is also leading "USAID Forward," an extensive set of reforms to USAID's business model focusing on seven key areas, including procurement, science & technology, and monitoring & evaluation.
Before becoming USAID's Administrator, Shah served as undersecretary for research, education and economics, and as chief scientist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. At USDA, he launched the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, which significantly elevated the status and funding of agricultural research.
Prior to joining the Obama administration, Shah served for seven years with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, including as director of agricultural development in the Global Development Program, and as director of strategic opportunities.
Originally from Detroit, Shah earned his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania Medical School and his master's in health economics from the Wharton School of Business. He attended the London School of Economics and is a graduate of the University of Michigan.
Shah is married to Shivam Mallick Shah and is the father of three children. He lives in Washington, D.C.
[As Prepared]
I am thrilled to be here today to launch our new policy on Gender Equality and Female Empowerment, an update to a 30-year-old policy that will significantly strengthen our capacity to support women and girls by ensuring our efforts are well-integrated and based in rigorous analysis.
[As Prepared]
I am very pleased to have this opportunity to meet with you-to gain the benefit of your collective experiences in counter trafficking and share the focus behind our new policy.
Although we don't have precise numbers, as many as 27 million men, women and children may be essentially enslaved in sex or labor exploitation-more than double the population of New York, Los Angeles and Chicago combined.
I am very pleased to welcome you today for the launch of USAID's new Center of Excellence on Democracy, Human Rights and Governance. It is designed to become a core evidence-based resource in the field , and strengthen our own culture of data, research and evaluation within USAID. This Center represents our Agency-wide focus on measuring performance to determine what really works. Instead of driving our programming based the conclusions of a handful of experts, we will conduct ongoing, in-depth oral histories, impact evaluations and country assessments to understand where and how we can be most effective.
[As Prepared]
It's a great honor to be able to welcome the first group of Bush Institute Egyptian Fellows to Washington. You bring with you a wealth of experience in the arenas of education, health, business, politics, law and the media. You have achieved so much in your lives already - I understand that one of you is actually only 23 years old. I'm humbled. But then again, it is a sobering thought to think that when he Mozart was my age, he had been dead for 23 years.
Thank you for the opportunity to speak today. I'm pleased and honored to be here at Harvard University, and have an opportunity to discuss the evolving development landscape in Asia with you.
It's a great honor to speak here today on the topic of ensuring inclusive approaches toward peace processes and post-conflict peacebuilding. I want to thank American University's School of International Service and Julie Mertus in particular for their leadership in putting this program together, along with BlueLaw LLP, the Stimson Center, and Women Enabled. I also wanted to salute the work of our own dedicated professionals at USAID, including our Disability and Inclusive Development Coordinator Charlotte McLain-Nhlapo and Senior Governance Advisor Chloe Schweinke.
The fundamental reality is that immense challenges like climate change, poverty and food insecurity aren't going solved by traditional approaches. The scale of those challenges is so massive, they will require new innovations, driven by the transformational power of science and technology. To drive this approach forward, we are embracing innovation and science as a core part of our work-recapturing USAID's legacy of transformational development through technological breakthroughs. The legacy that helped bring us the Green Revolution and oral rehydration therapy. And a legacy that helped green the Sahel, transforming 50 million hectares threatened by desertification-an area larger than Sweden-into sustainably productive lands.
Good morning, and thank you, Noam, for that kind introduction and for your important work here. I'm pleased to be able to join you today and want to thank Brookings for all the great work that you've been doing in this space.
*As Prepared*
Good evening and thank you all for coming to this important event.
I want to acknowledge Senator Chris Coons, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on African Affairs. Senator Coons has been a passionate, astute and dedicated partner to developing nations from his very first day in office.

B6 (PYRIDOXINE (VITAMIN B6)) Overview Information
Pyridoxine is a vitamin. It can be found in certain foods such as cereals, beans, vegetables, liver, meat, and eggs. It can also be made in a laboratory.
Pyridoxine is used for preventing and treating low levels of pyridoxine (pyridoxine deficiency) and the "tired blood" (anemia) that may result. It is also used for heart disease; high cholesterol; reducing blood levels of homocysteine, a chemical that might be linked to heart disease; and helping clogged arteries stay open after a balloon procedure to unblock them (angioplasty).
Women use pyridoxine for premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and other menstruation problems, "morning sickness" (nausea and vomiting) in early pregnancy, stopping milk flow after childbirth, depression related to pregnancy or using birth control pills, and symptoms of menopause.
Pyridoxine is also used for Alzheimer's disease, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Down syndrome, autism, diabetes and related nerve pain, sickle cell anemia, migraine headaches, asthma, carpal tunnel syndrome, night leg cramps, muscle cramps, arthritis, allergies, acne and various other skin conditions, and infertility. It is also used for dizziness, motion sickness, preventing the eye disease age-related macular degeneration (AMD), seizures, convulsions due to fever, and movement disorders (tardive dyskinesia, hyperkinesis, chorea), as well as for increasing appetite and helping people remember dreams.
Some people use pyridoxine for boosting the immune system, eye infections, bladder infections, and preventing cancer and kidney stones.
Pyridoxine is also used to overcome certain harmful side effects related to radiation treatment and treatment with medications such as mitomycin, procarbazine, cycloserine, fluorouracil, hydrazine, isoniazid, penicillamine, and vincristine.
Pyridoxine is frequently used in combination with other B vitamins in vitamin B complex products.
You may remember a prescription medication called Bendectin that was used for morning sickness in pregnancy. Bendectin contained pyridoxine and a sleep-inducing antihistamine called doxylamine. The makers of Bendectin took it off the market in 1983 because they were running up expensive legal bills in defense of their product. Opponents charged it might be responsible for birth defects. Meanwhile, a product called Diclectin that is similar to Bendectin remained available in Canada, and there was research showing that neither pyridoxine nor Bendectin seems to cause birth defects in animals. After Bendectin was removed from the market, there was no reduction in birth defects, but hospitalization rates for pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting doubled.
How does it work?
Pyridoxine is required for the proper function of sugars, fats, and proteins in the body. It is also required for the proper growth and development of the brain, nerves, skin, and many other parts of the body.
B6 (PYRIDOXINE (VITAMIN B6)) Uses & Effectiveness
Effective for:
- Treatment and prevention of pyridoxine deficiency.
- Treating a type of anemia called sideroblastic anemia.
- Treating some types of seizures in infants when given intravenously (by IV).
Likely Effective for:
- Reducing high blood levels of homocysteine, a substance thought to be involved in heart disease.
Possibly Effective for:
- Upset stomach and vomiting in pregnancy. Some research suggests pyridoxine does not improve symptoms of mild to moderate nausea as much as severe nausea. The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology considers pyridoxine a first-line treatment for nausea and vomiting caused by pregnancy. Pyridoxine plus the medication doxylamine is recommended for women who don't get better when treated with just pyridoxine.
- Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms such as breast pain and depression. The lowest effective dose should be used. Higher doses will increase the chance of side effects.
- Kidney stones. There is some evidence that taking pyridoxine alone or combined with magnesium can decrease the risk of kidney stones in people with type I primary hyperoxaluria, a hereditary disorder. But, it doesn't appear to help people with other kinds of kidney stones.
- Movement disorders (tardive dyskinesia) in people taking medicines for mental disorders.
- Behavior disorders in children with low levels of a brain chemical called serotonin.
- Reducing lung cancer risk in men who smoke.
- Macular degeneration. Some research shows that taking pyridoxine with other vitamins including folic acid and vitamin B12 might help prevent getting the eye disease called macular degeneration.
Possibly Ineffective for:
- Autism.
- Carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Preventing another stroke.
- Alzheimer's disease.
- Improving thinking and memory in people aged 65 and older, when used in combination with folic acid and vitamin B12.
Insufficient Evidence for:
- Preventing re-blockage of blood vessels after angioplasty.
- Boosting the immune system.
- Muscle cramps.
- Eye problems.
- Kidney problems.
- Night leg cramps.
- Arthritis.
- Allergies.
- Asthma.
- Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
- Lyme disease.
- Nerve problems caused by diabetes.
- Nerve problems after treatment with vincristine.
- Other conditions.
B6 (PYRIDOXINE (VITAMIN B6)) Side Effects & Safety
Pyridoxine is LIKELY SAFE for most people. In some people, pyridoxine might cause nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, loss of appetite, headache, tingling, sleepiness, and other side effects.
Long-term use of high doses is POSSIBLY UNSAFE. It might cause certain brain and nerve problems.
Special Precautions & Warnings:Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Pyridoxine is LIKELY SAFE for pregnant women when taken under the supervision of their healthcare provider. It is sometimes used in pregnancy to control morning sickness. High doses are UNSAFE. High doses can cause newborns to have seizures.
Pyridoxine is LIKELY SAFE for breast-feeding women when used in amounts not larger than 2 mg per day (the recommended dietary allowance). Avoid using higher amounts. Not enough is known about the safety of pyridoxine at higher doses in breast-feeding women.
B6 (PYRIDOXINE (VITAMIN B6)) Interactions
Moderate Interaction Be cautious with this combination
- Amiodarone (Cordarone) interacts with PYRIDOXINE (VITAMIN B6)
Amiodarone (Cordarone) might increase your sensitivity to sunlight. Taking vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) along with amiodarone (Cordarone) might increase the chances of sunburn, blistering, or rashes on areas of skin exposed to sunlight. Be sure to wear sunblock and protective clothing when spending time in the sun.
- Phenobarbital (Luminal) interacts with PYRIDOXINE (VITAMIN B6)
The body breaks down phenobarbital (Luminal) to get rid of it. Pyridoxine might increase how quickly the body breaks down phenobarbital (Luminal). This could decrease the effectiveness of phenobarbital (Luminal).
- Phenytoin (Dilantin) interacts with PYRIDOXINE (VITAMIN B6)
The body breaks down phenytoin (Dilantin) to get rid of it. Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) might increase how quickly the body breaks down phenytoin. Taking pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and taking phenytoin (Dilantin) might decrease the effectiveness of phenytoin (Dilantin) and increase the possibility of seizures. Do not take large doses of pyridoxine (vitamin B6) if you are taking phenytoin (Dilantin).
Minor Interaction Be watchful with this combination
- Levodopa interacts with PYRIDOXINE (VITAMIN B6)
The body breaks down levodopa to get rid of it. Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) can increase how quickly the body breaks down and gets rid of levodopa. But this is only a problem if you are taking levodopa alone. Most people take levodopa along with carbidopa (Sinemet). Carbidopa prevents this interaction from occurring. If you are taking levodopa without carbidopa do not take vitamin B6.
B6 (PYRIDOXINE (VITAMIN B6)) Dosing
The following doses have been studied in scientific research:
- For vitamin B6 deficiency in adults: the typical dose is 2.5-25 mg daily for three weeks, then 1.5-2.5 mg per day as maintenance treatment.
- For vitamin B6 deficiency in women taking birth control pills: the dose is 25-30 mg per day.
- For symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS): the daily dose is 50-100 mg. Doses as high as 500 mg per day have been used, but daily doses over 100 mg don't appear to have additional benefit, and may increase the risk for harmful side effects.
- For hereditary sideroblastic anemia: initially 200-600 mg per day is used, decreasing to 30-50 mg daily after improvement.
- For kidney stones: 25-500 mg daily has been used.
- For treating tardive dyskinesia: 100 mg per day has been increased weekly up to 400 mg per day, given in two divided doses.
- For preventing macular degeneration: 50 mg daily in combination with vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) 1000 mcg, and folic acid 2500 mcg.
- For nausea during pregnancy: 10-25 mg pyridoxine three or four times daily has been used; alternatively, 75 mg of sustained-release pyridoxine combined with 12 mcg vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin), 1 mg folic acid, and 200 mg calcium (PremesisRx) is used daily as an FDA-approved prescription product for nausea during pregnancy.

After a night out and some drinks, two drunken girls walking home realize they have to pee. Since they were near a cemetery, they decided to hide near a headstone or something to do their business. Since they had nothing to wipe with, one of the girls decided to use her panties and throw them away. The other girl didn't want to ruin her underwear, so she pulled a ribbon from a wreath that was on a grave to wipe with. After finishing the girls continued to walk home. The next day the girl's husbands phone each other and say; "these damn 'girls night out' have to stop. My wife came home last night without any panties." His friend replies- "that's nothing, mine came back with a sympathy card stuck between her butt cheeks that said, 'from all of us at the Fire Station, we'll never forget you!"

I always carry my Wyoming knife for gutting. When the blade gets a bit dull I replace it with a new blade, but they'll put up with a lot and have gutted many deer before I have to replace the blade. I also always have a lock back folding knife on me always. I have at least half a dozen different lock backs that people have given me and I am always carrying one every where I go. It's just one of those things I never leave home without.
NuttyNative; The Woodsman is all the knife I've ever needed to get a deer out of the woods. I some times keep a couple of the hooked razor knife blades in my pack, they worked great for skining a coyote and if I decide to gut a deer, which I seldom do. Granted our deer our not 300lb Whitetails or big mulies. Where I hunt their more the size of Blacktail deer, probably a cross between Californa Mule Deer and the Blacktails. Had a good friend who died from Fernly, Roy F. had a pizza place there for a few years.

In public educational organizations like School Districts and Community Colleges, 403(b) Plans generally serve as supplemental retirement savings plans designed to supplement retirement benefits available from State pension plans and Social Security. The IRS provides a Summary of 403(b) Plan Basics page and a 403(b) Plan Brochure for Employees on its website. Many of the topics covered there are treated in even greater detail on this CCC website, whereas some other topics covered there are not applicable to public employers.
Yes, if you receive a paycheck for services provided to Finley School District, then you are eligible to sign up for elective deferrals into the Finley School District 403(b) Plan.
Federal law adopted in 2001 greatly simplified calculation of your Maximum Allowable Contribution (MAC), but the calculation remains quite complicated for certain employees. This section gives basic information about limits on your contributions and explains how you may request an individualized calculation from Carruth Compliance Consulting, Inc. (CCC), the Employer's consultant.
Finley School District does not require any minimum monthly contribution amount.
Click Here to review general contribution limits information.
Numerous approaches to supplemental retirement savings are available to you, including Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA), your employer's 403(b) plan, bank certificates of deposit, savings and loan associations, stocks, bonds, and real estate. Some approaches are tax deferred and others are not. This section explains some of the advantages of tax deferred savings and points out some of the unique features of 403(b) plans. Learn More

If you'd like to review the Finley School District 403(b) Plan Document that governs 403(b) policies for Employees of Finley School District, you may do so here.
The IRS published Final 403(b) Regulations during July of 2007 that dramatically changed the way 403(b) Plans must be structured and administered. As a consequence, both Finley School District and all of the Vendors for its 403(b) Plan were required to follow burdensome and expensive new rules. Several companies that had traditionally offered 403(b) investment products vacated the 403(b) market entirely as a result. Other companies that remained in the 403(b) market removed their products as investment options in some smaller plans. You should review information about 403(b) Vendors available at the "403(b) List of Vendors" link in the Finley School District Employee Sub-Menu above. Finley School District adopted the services of Carruth Compliance Consulting, Inc., an Independent Third Party Administrator (TPA), to provide compliance and administration services. This Finley School District section of the CCC website is designed to provide everything you need to know about your 403(b) Plan.

The only complaint that I have is that it is difficult to to remove from the tube, and I think that could break it, so you have to be very carefull...
Comments about Camelbak Big Bite Valve:
Best bite valve I believe. Easiest to use, requires minimal suction to hydrate.

Comments about Camelbak Big Bite Valve:
I've been using camelbak hydration systems for the last 13 years. I've tried other systems from competitors but no one could match the reliability and quality of the camelbak.

When your current valve leaks on its own, its time to replace it!
Get a new one and keep hydrated.
