How to give yourself an injection.
Watch the video to learn how.
Self-injecting HUMIRA offers you the freedom of being able to take your medicine in the comfort of your home. You may not have to make an appointment and travel to the doctor's office for every dose. That's why we want to give you all the information you need to become more familiar with self-injections.
Look over the many assistance options listed on this page. Whether your doctor has prescribed the HUMIRA Pen or the prefilled syringe, there are video demonstrations and training tools available to you when you need them.
Watch the self-injection demonstration video.
Select which injection option you use and then watch the demonstration video.
The video and step-by-step information should not take the place of personalized instruction with a health care professional. Do not try to inject HUMIRA yourself until you have been shown the right way to give the injection. The first injection must be given under the supervision of a health care professional.
Please read the complete injection instructions in the Patient Instructions for Use in your HUMIRA box.
For injection assistance or to speak with a nurse, call 1.800.4HUMIRA. Nurses are on call to provide injection help and assistance to patients taking HUMIRA.
Please read the HUMIRA dosing information
before starting your treatment.
If your doctor decides that you are able to give your injections at home, you should receive training by a health care professional on the right way to prepare and inject HUMIRA. Do not try to inject HUMIRA yourself until you have been shown the right way to give the injections. Your first injection must be given under the supervision of a health care professional. Remember to keep your HUMIRA refrigerated in its original container until ready for use.
You can call your doctor or 1.800.4HUMIRA (1.800.448.6472) if you have questions about giving yourself an injection. Complete injection instructions are found in the Patient Instructions for Use that comes within the HUMIRA box.
What to do if you miss a dose.
If you miss a dose, inject as soon as you remember. Then take your next dose as you would have on your originally scheduled date. If you are unsure of when to inject HUMIRA, call your doctor or pharmacist. If you're unable to give yourself the injection at any time, or a friend or family member cannot administer HUMIRA to you, call your doctor or nurse for help right away.
Important things to remember for your injection with HUMIRA:
- Store HUMIRA in a refrigerator at 36°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C)
in the original container until it is used. Protect from light
- Do not use HUMIRA if frozen, even if it has been thawed
- The HUMIRA Pen contain glass. Do not drop or crush the Pen because the glass may break
- Do not remove the gray cap or the plum-colored cap on the HUMIRA Pen until right before your injection
- Keep HUMIRA, injection supplies and all other medicines
out of the reach or children
- When the plum-colored button on the HUMIRA Pen is pressed to give your dose of HUMIRA, you will hear a loud "click" sound:
- You must practice injecting HUMIRA with your doctor or nurse so that you are not startled by this click when you start giving yourself the injection at home
- The loud click sound means the start of the injection
- You will know that the HUMIRA Pen injection has finished when the yellow marker appears fully in the window view and stops moving

ABOUT HUMIRA® (adalimumab)1
What is the most important information I should know about HUMIRA?
You should discuss the potential benefits and risks of HUMIRA with your doctor. HUMIRA is a TNF blocker medicine that can lower the ability of your immune system to fight infections. You should not start taking HUMIRA if you have any kind of infection unless your doctor says it is okay.
Serious infections have happened in people taking HUMIRA. These serious infections include tuberculosis (TB) and infections caused by viruses, fungi, or bacteria that have spread throughout the body. Some people have died from these infections. Your doctor should test you for TB before starting HUMIRA, and check you closely for signs and symptoms of TB during treatment with HUMIRA. If your doctor feels you are at risk, you may be treated with medicine for TB.
Cancer. For children and adults taking TNF blockers, including HUMIRA, the chance of getting lymphoma or other cancers may increase. There have been cases of unusual cancers in children, teenagers, and young adults using TNF blockers. Some people have developed a rare type of cancer called hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma. This type of cancer often results in death. If using TNF blockers including HUMIRA, your chance of getting two types of skin cancer (basal cell and squamous cell) may increase. These types are generally not life-threatening if treated; tell your doctor if you have a bump or open sore that doesn't heal.
What should I tell my doctor BEFORE starting HUMIRA?
Tell your doctor about all of your health conditions, including if you:
- Have an infection, are being treated for infection, or have symptoms of an infection
- Get a lot of infections or infections that keep coming back
- Have diabetes
- Have TB or have been in close contact with someone with TB, or were born in, lived in, or traveled where there is more risk for getting TB
- Live or have lived in an area (such as the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys) where there is an increased risk for getting certain kinds of fungal infections, such as histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, or blastomycosis
- Have or have had hepatitis B
- Are scheduled for major surgery
- Have or have had cancer
- Have numbness or tingling or a nervous system disease such as multiple sclerosis or Guillain-Barré syndrome

- Have recently received or are scheduled to receive a vaccine. HUMIRA patients may receive vaccines, except for live vaccines
- Are allergic to rubber, latex, or any HUMIRA ingredients
- Are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to breastfeed
Also tell your doctor about all the medicines you take. You should not take HUMIRA with ORENCIA® (abatacept), KINERET® (anakinra), REMICADE® (infliximab), ENBREL® (etanercept), CIMZIA® (certolizumab pegol), or SIMPONI® (golimumab). Tell your doctor if you have ever used RITUXAN® (rituximab), IMURAN® (azathioprine), or PURINETHOL® (mercaptopurine, 6-MP).
What should I watch for AFTER starting HUMIRA?
HUMIRA can cause serious side effects, including:
- Serious infections. These include TB and infections caused by viruses, fungi, or bacteria. Symptoms related to TB include a cough, low-grade fever, weight loss, or loss of body fat and muscle.
- Hepatitis B infection in carriers of the virus. Symptoms include muscle aches, feeling very tired, dark urine, skin or eyes that look yellow, little or no appetite, vomiting, clay-colored bowel movements, fever, chills, stomach discomfort, and skin rash.

- Psoriasis (new or worsening). Symptoms include red scaly patches or raised bumps that are filled with pus.
Call your doctor or get medical care right away if you develop any of the above symptoms.
Common side effects of HUMIRA include injection site reactions (redness, rash, swelling, itching, or bruising), upper respiratory infections (sinus infections), headaches, rash, and nausea. These are not all of the possible side effects with HUMIRA. Tell your doctor if you have any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away.
Remember, tell your doctor right away if you have an infection or symptoms of an infection, including:
- Fever, sweats, or chills

Lady Bucs Fall to Appalachian State, 87-79
Saturday, January 05, 2002Johnson City, Tenn. (Jan 5, 2002) - ETSU's backcourt combination of Erin Thurman (Hixson, Tenn) and Ashley Reed (Barrackville, W.Va.) combined for 41 points, but it was not enough to overcome the Appalachian State Mountaineers who defeated the Lady Bucs, 87-79, Saturday afternoon from Memorial Center. The Mountaineers (5-7, 1-2 Southern Conference) began the game on an 8-1 run and held the lead for most of the first half. East Tennessee State (7-6, 2-2 SoCon) chipped away at the Appalachian State lead and took a 25-22 lead after a Reed three-pointer with 8:33 remaining in the half. The Lady Bucs held the lead until Appalachian State's Lindsay Smith knocked down a jumper at the buzzer to tie the game at 41 at the half. Reed was on fire in the first half, scoring 16 points on 4-7 from the floor and 2-3 from three-point range. She was also 6-6 from the free-throw line in the first stanza. The two teams traded the lead three times within the first five minutes of the second half. After a three-pointer by Thurman tied the game at 61 with 10:03 remaining, the Mountaineers went on a 13-2 run, taking a 74-63 lead with 5:28 left in the game. The Lady Bucs chipped away at the Appalachian State advantage, cutting the lead to as few as five points, but the Mountaineers hit their key free-throws to seal the victory. "They wanted it more, they outplayed us," said ETSU head coach Karen Kemp following the game. "This will open up our eyes," said Kemp. "We came back, but we have to learn that we have to do it from the beginning." East Tennessee State was led by Thurman, who scored a season-high 23 points on 8-19 from the floor. Thurman tied her career-high with six three-pointers in 15 attempts. She scored 19 of her 23 points in the second half, and hit 5-10 threes in the second stanza. Reed scored 18 points and dished out a team-high four assists. Senior forward Megan Jackson (Paris, Tenn.) scored in double-digits for the third straight game, tallying 11 points and pulling down seven rebounds. Sophomore Lauren Trantham (Asheville, N.C.), the Southern Conference's leading rebounder, pulled down a game-high 10 rebounds. Appalachian State was led by junior guard Jaymi Wilson, who has a team-high 21 points and a game-high six assists. Freshman guard Lindsay Smith had 14 points and six rebounds, knocking down two three-pointers. Junior guard Tiffani Johnson came off the bench to score 14 points, including three three-pointers. The Lady Bucs return to action on Tuesday afternoon at 12 noon as they travel to College of Charleston. Appalachian State returns home for a matchup with Davidson, Tuesday night at 7 p.m.

Despite winning four titles on the trot, Sebastian Vettel insists F1 racing has been "tight" in recent years and hopes it continues next season...
Despite winning four titles on the trot, Sebastian Vettel insists F1 racing has been "tight" in recent years and hopes it continues next season.
The Red Bull racer has dominated the sport in recent times, winning four successive Drivers' Championships.
There is, however, some hopes amongst his rivals that his reign will come to an end next season as new rules - and new engines - come into play.
Vettel's hope, though, is that the new regulations do not result in a divide in the field.
"Next year with a lot of things changing it is difficult to predict how it impacts on the racing," he told Autosport.
"I just hope it doesn't split the cars too much, because what we had the last couple of years was a very tight battle between a lot of teams."
Vettel had yet another record-breaking campaign in 2013 where he set a new benchmark for the most successive grand prix wins in one season - nine. He won 13 races in total on his way to his fourth title.
But despite his dominance, the German believes Formula One fans have witnessed some pretty exciting Championships in recent years with two of his titles decided in the final race of the season.
"I think generally we had good races. Obviously the racing got criticised [in 2013] for some reasons that we can explain.
"But I don't think that is entirely fair because if you look back, it has always been like it has been the last five or six years.
"We have had very close Championships, then we had Championships which were not that close.
"But that is the way F1 has been in the past and it will probably continue like that in the future."

Name a cherished place in the West, and chances are a river runs through it—places with names like the Blackfoot, Hat Creek, Big Hole, Henry's Fork, Little Lost River. For as long as people can remember, these waters have held prized trout in their cold, clear waters and drawn generations of anglers to their banks.
But throughout the West, our rivers and streams—and the native and wild fish that depend on them—are in trouble. A host of threats, from drought and population growth to climate uncertainty, have left many Western rivers depleted, even drained dry. To make matters worse, outdated state laws actually discourage landowners from leaving water in streams to support fish and wildlife.
In response, Trout Unlimited started the Western Water Project in 1998. The mission: Restore healthy stream flows and habitat in some of the West's best places. Today the WWP operates in seven states—California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Washington and Wyoming—and its staff have won major victories for fish in courts and state capitals. At the same time, they have partnered with ranchers and farmers on pragmatic on-the-ground restoration projects that show that working landscapes and fish can coexist.
TU's Western Water Project is reconnecting rivers and streams—and building partnerships and community—across the West.
TU's Western Water Project started from the recognition that the health of our rivers, fisheries and wildlife must be included in water flow decisions and planning at the state and local levels. In the last 15 years, we've seen some real progress toward this goal.
TU has helped make thoughtful, pragmatic updates to some state water codes to make restoring and improving stream flows easier, yet fair and equitable to water rights holders.
We've partnered with ranchers, landowners and agencies on scores of on-the-ground projects to restore and reconnect fragmented river systems.
We've stepped in to protect some of our last best places—such as the Upper Colorado River in Colorado and the Green River in Utah—from short-sighted development.
Although huge challenges remain, we're optimistic about the future of our rivers and fisheries in the West. Many leaders are putting aside age-old differences to embrace innovative solutions and collaborative, win-win projects that balance the needs of fish and wildlife with the concerns of agriculture and communities.
We believe that, at bottom, most Westerners want to hand down a legacy of healthy rivers and streams for future generations. Because here in the West, our rivers run deep, through our lives and communities. Working together, we can make sure that those waters continue to flow.

I just want to point out that this salary cap status hasn't been updated since March 10th. Meaning, before Free Agency even started. A lot has changed since then.

I was going to say, $6 million under didn't seem right. Do you know how much we really have? Harrington shouldn't cost that much right? I thikn we are just about done with adding new personel.Originally Posted by Nublar7
I expect to see Harrington and an OLB added and that should be our 2006 Miami Dolphins.

What big contracts? Besides McNabb, they really dont have any large contracts.Originally Posted by HysterikiLL
Another thing Philly does I believe is they get salary cap "credit" every year. They use up all their salary cap space in the current year with bonuses that are counted against the cap. When players dont reach those bonuses, they receive a cap credit the following year. Therefore every year they have 20+ million in cap space and the ability to sign the highest priced free agents, but they dont.
Philadelphia is one of the best FO's in the NFL. They pride themselves by adding players through the draft and resigning successful draftees. I remember reading that they have one of the highest percentages of resigning draftees. Basically their players rarely ever become UDFAs. Also, they dont overpay for players and Andy Reid puts a price on each position and he never seems to go above it. Its been working for the past 5 years IMO.
As you can tell, I am also an eagles fan.
There is their team's cap page. Its updated often and is VERY accurate. Scroll down, notice that almost 7million ADDED to their cap in the form of "LTBE credits"?
Also, when they have cap room, they use it. They dont prorate signing bonuses if they dont have to. Example: This year they just signed Darren Howard, instead of prorating his signing bonus of 6 million, they just gave it to him and took the 6 mil cap hit this year. That saves in the future whatever million each year it would be prorated. Also, they only have 2 million in dead cap. Because they usually resign their rookies and dont give out ridiculous UDFA contracts, they rarely have to take on dead cap. Dead cap IMO is a salary cap killer. We on the other hand are carrying almost 9 million in dead cap alone.

You are correct on Reggie Howard (3 million) and Sam Madison(almost 4 million), but Carter is still under contract and therefore cant count as dead cap. I think the Frerotte dead cap is minimal. Also, we have another million in dead cap for Timbo IIRC.Originally Posted by hdjetta6316

Wednesday, October 09, 2002Newport, R.I. (Oct. 9, 2002) - The East Tennessee State's men's golf team tied their best finish of the young season, finishing sixth after Wednesday's third and final round of the Adams Cup from Newport National Golf Club in Newport, R.I. The Buccaneers had a very strong third round, shooting a tournament-best 280 to close out the competition. Every Buccaneer shot their best round of the tournament in Wednesday's play. The torrid final round got the Bucs within just eight strokes of team champion, Michigan State. Sophomore Marcos Trejos (San Jose, Costa Rica), matched the best score of the final round and the best of his career with a 68. Today's round propelled Trejos into a tie for third (75-71-68=214) at even par, the highest finish of his career and ETSU's best individual finisher of the season. Senior James Johnson (Barbados) also had a strong round, shooting a 2-under-par 70 to finish in a tie for eighth at 2-over-par (71-75-70=216). After shooting an 82 in his second round of play, sophomore Jeremy Hobson (Thonotosassa, Fla.) rebounded by firing a third-round 70. The best round of Hobson's career moved him into a tie for 34th (74-82-69=225). Sophomore Chase Baldwin (Brandon, Fla.) was the next ETSU finisher, tying for 58th (80-78-73=231) after shooting a 73, improving his second round score by five strokes. Senior Adam Riddering (Maple Grove, Minn.), rounded out ETSU's tournament, finishing in a tie for 67th (82-77-75=234). ETSU returns to the links on Oct. 21-22 for the Tournament of Champions from Knoxville, Tenn.

I think the Bronco's lack of a passing QB had more to do with it

This just proves it, God is a patriots fan
I've felt for weeks that the Broncos defense is not as good as people are giving it credit for. They had a very good stretch in the middle of the season and they've been pretty bad since then. I don't think McDaniels matters at all here. The Broncos are just completely outmatched.
Has nothing to do with the lack of pass rush.

Houston and Baltimore both have nice defenses so we'll see.
The #1 seed is playing and 8-8 team, at home. This result is expected. i had this game pegged as a joke last Sunday at around 7:45pm EST.
"Fundamentals, technique, execution -- primary. Scheme -- secondary."
"We will incorporate an aggressive, up-tempo, attacking style in all three phases of the game."
"Our team will play with discipline, poise, and maximum effort."
"I want us to be the best tackling team in the NFL, the best team in pursuit, I want to take the ball away from other teams, I want to rattle the opposing quarterback every opportunity we get."

Top 5 Movie Soundtracks of the Year So Far
Top 5 Movie Soundtracks of the Year So Far
Film and music are deeply intertwined. A beautiful soundtrack can drown out the dregs of subpar acting, or cheesy writing and make a so-so film seem spectacular. When a truly fantastic film is paired with the perfect score, that is when legendary moments in culture are created. When Uma Thurman and John Travolta twisted to Chuck Berry's, "You Can Never Tell," Pulp Fiction cemented itself into film history for the rest of time. Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore's scene in Ghost single-handedly made the Righteous Brothers' "Unchained Melody," one of the most romantic songs ever written. 2013 has seen some incredible movies already, and soundtracks seem to have drawn even more attention this year than ever. Perhaps its the star-studded collaborations between notable directors and music industry heavyweights, or perhaps something is just in the air. These are the Top 5 Movie Soundtracks of 2013 So Far. If you haven't seen the films, check out the scores and something tells us you'll be heading to the theatres the next chance you get.
1. The Bling Ring
Fashion, fame, fortune and felony come together for one diamond-crusted plotline in Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring. After gaining a cult-like following for the soundtrack to The Virgin Suicides with collaborator Brian Reitzell, she called on him and Daniel Lopatin to help score her latest teenage drama. What better to accompany a group of teens plotting Hollywood robberies of stars like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan thank Frank Ocean's, "Super Rich Kids?" The soundtrack also features music from artists like Sleigh Bells, Azealia Banks, Kanye West and Rick Ross.The Bling Ring Soundtrack is due out on June 11 via Def Jam.
2. Spring Breakers
It's almost shocking that it took this long for Harmony Korine and Skrillex to pair neon-colored bikinis with blaring dubstep. Whether or not the actual film is your cup of tea, and whether or not dubstep is your sound of choice, experiencing the two together captures a poignant snapshot of a generation. Spoiler alert: in addition to the soundtrack, James Franco, Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez and co. do a piano-based rendition of Britney Spears' "Everytime," in the movie that truly does not disappoint.Check out the soundtrack to Spring Breakers on iTunes.
3. The Place Beyond the Pines
With a star-studded cast including Ryan Gosling, Eva Mendes and Bradley Cooper, this dark drama boasts a melancholy and beautifully complex original score. Composed by Mike Patton, the music for the motion picture includes five songs by other artists as well, including indie-darling Bon Iver.Pick up the soundtrack to The Place Beyond the Pines on iTunes.
4. Iron Man 3
Iron Man 3 grossed more than $1 billion USD, you can bet the soundtrack to go along with it is a high-value affair. Although Brian Tyler composed a dark and cinematic original score for the film, the accompanying concept album is what really shines after the final scene. The additional soundtrack titled, Iron Man 3: Heroes Fall – Music Inspired by the Motion Picture, includes songs by Passion Pit, Rogue Wave, Robbie Williams and Neon Trees.Click here to get a copy of Heroes Fall on iTunes.
5. The Great Gatsby
The Great Gatsby Soundtrack took music for film to an unprecedented level. Putting Jay-Z's name on anything almost guarantees people will pay attention to it, but hype doesn't always guarantee quality. In this case, Hova stepped in as Executive Producer to live up to every ounce of the excitement. From his own "$100 Bill," to Lana del Rey's "Young and Beautiful," to Beyonce and Andre 3000's remake of "Back to Black," the multi-genre compilation made Baz Luhrmann's film significantly better. After all, that's what a great soundtrack is supposed to do.Pick up a copy of The Great Gatsby soundtrack on iTunes.

(WHDH) - A close watch is being kept on Hurricane Sandy as it makes its way northward.
If the storm hits New England, it could be near Halloween; eerily close to the anniversary of the "Perfect Storm" in 1991.
The storm headed toward New England has some worried about the worst.
"It could be Nor'easter on steroids," said Robert Thompson of National Weather Service.
The National Weather Service is already warning commercial fishermen who are going out for a long period of time to closely monitor the weather in the next week.
By next Monday, Sandy could hit New England and it's unclear how strong she'll be by then.
"It's got the potential to rival the great Nor'easters of the past depending upon the eventual track it takes," said Thompson.
It was just one year ago a Nor'easter brought heavy rain and deep snow in parts of New England.
This storm will likely hit around the 21st anniversary of the infamous "Perfect Storm," the Halloween Nor'easter that took the lives of six Gloucester fishermen.
In Gloucester on Tuesday no one seemed nervous about a repeat storm.
"So what? It's a storm. Deal with it," said one man.
Most say they'll wait until it gets closer before they decide how to react.
"My dad always taught me you're better safe than sorry. So if you're not sure, get the hell out," said another man.
Whether New England gets walloped or just a glancing blow, the National Weather Service believes people should brace for something.
"With almost any of the scenarios we're looking at, we're probably going to be seeing some high seas and probably rough surf," Thompson said.

Discussion in 'Signatures and Small Art' started by Legionenigmatics, Jul 29, 2011.
this time it is special since i used photoshop instead of gimp.
now let on the CnC
So... much... light...
yay, I see you slotted in some nice text there. "Ekans" ;P
I like it, very vibrant but as Maffe811 said, alot of light.
the text is bad
haha i did this during work sooo it happens. besides i like the light
i dont mind the text, it's subtle enough
Please tell whats wrong, why its wrong and how to improove.
Other then the light on render isnt really fitting the lighting in the sig, i think its good!
Text is too light, I would have had no idea it is there if someone wouldn't have mentioned it
so up the opacity? eww i think no.
then I would drop it, cause just it isn't visible enough to be needed and it just bothers me 8O
I don't really see anything wrong with the text. It works. Only thing I'd say is wrong with the sig is the lighting. Too much light...
Try doing something to the light.......
Try working on blending everything in. Everything here seems random.
explain 2500 and btw want my psd file to help it out?
You simple need to invert the light spots and and place it
in both sides of the signature.
after that you will have to move the dark spot (like the one on ekons right side),
place them in the middle of the signature.
Like this:
Or reverse it, and make it bright in the middle.
ps. you can still keep the yellow spots i like them

Just really wanted to show how far I was along, and see if it was beginning to look like what was being put forth before. Know that this will be sort of a slow process between work and home... so it could be a while before it's totally finished... though I hope to have the basic functionality in place to allow it to be at least used in the next couple of months.

Things I haven't considered yet are screenshots and I also want to do a taskbar notification icon with a right click menu for launching games. The menu at the top holds all of the table maintenance options, along with a list of the recently played games. I'm still deciding on MobyGames integration- looking at their terms (1) there's no exposed API so I'd have to scrape the data, and (2) they are limiting access to their db. I might try to later host my own db for browsing online and integration and other things with the program- that would be far down the line though.
Any thoughts so far?
(Oh... GameShui- a reference to Feng Shui. Don't ask why I did that... I just liked the sound of it, and it went with the new site I'm going to try to launch later)

|Topic Review (Newest First)
At the time that I made this observation, I was shopping for fish/plants/pumps to stock a tank. The Pruess prices were only *slightly* higher than all of the above - local shops, BIGBOX stores, online stores. I always just figured it was because of the great staff they hire, excellent selection of EVERYTHING, customer service (the topic of this thread), the fact they ACTUALLY QUARANTINE, etc, etc. The fact that I may have to pay *slightly* more to get the same product means one thing: it's not the same product at all. It's far better.
|Robert H
I'm sorry if I am being nosey, I have never been to the store, I am on the other side of the country, but I hear this all the time about local stores and how they are gouging people on purpose and it is really ridiculous for the most part. If I want to sell an aqualight fixture, I have to buy it from one of their distributors, just like local stores do... a distributor like Central Pet or African Northwest which is a west coast distributor. Do you know how much I pay for the fixture? About 10 percent MORE than what it sells for on the internet by Drs Foster and Smith, Pet Solutions, and Big Als. So lets say I mark it up 10 percent which after the cost of shipping leaves me with practically nothing, I am still selling 20% higher than Big Als and the rest of them. The average local pet shop wouldn't have any more buying power than I do. They are not going to buy a truck load of light fixtures. This is not theory its just plain fact.
People complain in forums like this about how local stores do not carry things like C02 systems, lighting, even substrates, and this is why. They can't match internet prices, so many stores don't even bother. Preuss seems to be trying to compete when they can
Preuss says they made a mistake and seems to be going out of their way to make it right, and yet someone still makes a crack about the "spies". Good grief.
my exp at Preuss's
after their opening in the new store i decided to take a cruise up to the store.
i bought a 65 watt coralife colormax CF bulb.
about 5 months later my bulb burned out. i called them and explained that i didn't have a receipt or any real proof i bought it there < but i did >
so they told me to cruise up and they would work something out...
i figured ... 50% off a new bulb or something.
they gave me a new bulb for free.
i took it home and it didn't work.
called them and they were willing to bend over backwards to make everything right for me. including shipping me a new bulb for free.
preuss is about an hour away from me.
me and the wife were looking forward to go back to preuss's to yet again get a new light for free.
lets see you get that service from an online vendor. i look forward to driving an hour to visit them again.
i like being able to hold the harware im buying at least once... so if we all continue to buy everything online that option will disappear. that doesn't mean you should have to pay out the nose for stuff. just talk to them they are great people and have a ton of knowledge. something you can't get at most online wholesalers.
just my two cents worth... ok well about a quarter
Marco Marzigliano
|customer rewarded for spying, nice idea! just kidding.. hope to see you guys before the snow flys and the trip is over an hour.
I'm glad you're okay with the way things turned out. If I had known what was going on that day, I definitely would've been over there to chat with you about it. I'm sorry you had to go through all that commotion. Sometimes I'm glad I work at an LFS so I can just pick up the stuff there and call it a day...
Sorry for the late responds kind of forgot to check this post. I have run into alot of people and discussed the problem I had at the store. Like esarkipato said I did recieve a personal PM after some of there spys reported this post to the store. Thats fine I am glad it got back to them so they could address the problems and look into the price gouging. I was asked to call and talk to the manager on duty and he explained to me what happend and offered me a discount on my next purchase. I Live an hour away don't know when or if that is going to happen but sure wish I could have gotten those lights for a better price at the time.
i did get the T-5 lights from Big Als online 2 day shipping they where two 48inch fixtures plus added a 10,000 k bulb for the price of there one freshwater fixture. i was told that problem has been taken care of and was glad to hear my post made a difference. I think i am going to stick with ordering hardware from online and fish and plants from the stores.
I was extremely happy with the conversation on the phone hope some day to make a road trip back to check out some plants that I can't find around here. Over all it was a positive experience.
I also want to add that it is not our goal to "rip people off" on a daily basis. Giving people fair prices is what makes money and pays for the new expensive building, not snagging a few individuals here and there that don't do pricing research.
It seems like a lot of folks picture some sort of conspiracy among retail stores to pry open people's wallets as soon as they walk in the front door, and I can't speak for anywhere else, but I know that the Preuss folks do our best to get people their equipment, animals, plants, etc without breaking the bank... if they have to shell out a ton of money on one thing, they'll have less for the rest of the setup, which really hurts us in the long run.
I jumped on here to add these things because I don't want this thread to end on such a negative note; it's important to me, personally, and to the store as a whole, that people see us for who we are. Not just another arm of a corporate monster, but still that mom-and-pop store we were 25 years ago. Hopefully, I get to talk to all of you in person in the store at one time or another; if you are planning on coming in, give the store a call or PM me and I'll let you know if I'm going to be there.
To follow up (for Tritan), I believe Rick Preuss, or someone else of authority, called him personally to clear things up (now THAT'S service!). They ended up reducing the price of that particular light....which to me basically admits overcharging!
I'm not trying to get in the middle of this AT ALL.....and like I said before I love the store and hope to support them soon! I just think Tritan probably had a point as far as overpriced equipment goes.
Whale Sale tomorrow!
"15% off everything you buy" at Preuss's tomorrow, Saturday Oct. 14! Just thought you'd like to know.
|Robert H
|Prices on equipment are always a bone of contention with some people and is the reason retailers hate the internet and super chain stores. The big box mover internet sellers sell equipment for less than what local stores BUY IT FOR. It is a fact of life. You can not blame the store. Nobody is gouging. Local stores do what they have to do to stay in business, but a store like Preuss, (and I have seen ALL the pictures from Sarah...and it is incredible) has a diverse amount of products and many would be competetively priced to anyone. If they are high on that particular light fixture i am sure they are low on other things. I wish there was a store like that here. even something half as good!
Personally, I've found Preuss to have higher prices ever since I've gone there, when they were in Okemos. BUT, for those higher prices I've found you get in return a very knowledgable staff, who won't just give you a bottle of "algae fix" without asking questions.
I can't WAIT to visit that new store....next time I'm in Lansing,
Hi Tritan,
I'm sorry to hear you had a disappointing experience at our store. If you'd be so kind as to PM the details (which day this was, the employees you dealt with, etc.) of your visit it would be a great help to us to prevent future problems like this. There were two acting managers (myself and Sarah) on the floor today. Yesterday we were all, unfortunately, at the trade show in Chicago. Regardless, it is inexcusable that you weren't given more immediate satisfaction with respect to your concerns about the price.
With respect to our ability to stay in business, we have been around for more than 25 years with a continually growing customer base. We pride ourselves on offering the highest quality products and services and a price that is fair and commensurate with the value. From time to time, items end up with prices that are out-of-synch. This can be caused by simple human error, excessive discounting by online vendors, or our efforts lagging to find the best possible deal. I suspect these lights fall into the last category. I will check tomorrow morning, but I suspect we are paying more for them than Big Al's is selling them for. This tells me that we need to find a way to pay less in order to be more competitive. It is true that we have overhead costs that eclipse online vendors' by orders of magnitude, but it is also true that we should not expect you to pay double. Having brought this to our attention, we will certainly make an effort to find a better deal on these items so we can pass it along to our customers. We haven't survived this long nor grown this big by "screwing the consumers", but by using feedback like this a guide.
I can't guarantee the price of these lights will change (hopefully it will). It is more than shipping and sales tax that dictates price. The cost of a 23,000sq. ft. building on a prime street corner, electricity, water, insurance, dozens of emplyees, etc. must all be considered. Sometimes an item will simply cost much more than at an online vendor with minimal overhead costs. In most cases, however, we find a means of delivering the value for a price that is fair.
Sorry again for our failure to satisfy your needs on your trip to Lansing and we hope you'll visit us again to allow us to demonstrate the friendliness, quality, and value that Rick Preuss and his family have made the company famous for.
Feel free to call me at the shop with any concerns or further comments,

It doesn't look anything like this anymore.
I decide to rope the wife into a "color tour" to lansing and we ended up at the preuess pet store. All I have to say is wow for 2 reasons. One is for the selection of fish and plants and salt water selection is amazing its huge! But I must say how do they stay in business with the prices they have on hardware? Anyone with a computer better not be buying hardware from them outside of a small item for there tank around 10 bucks or less.
I went there looking to upgrade my lighting to a double coralife T-5 lamp fixture x 2. I wanted one marine light and one freshwater light and I had printed the add from Fish Supplies, Online Fish Supplies, Aquarium Products, Aquarium Accessories at Big Al's Online and brought it with me knowing if the price was a bit high maybe i could get them to price match.
A bit high ! How about twice the price high !! Ok, the lights I wanted ran 47.95each at Big Als so for 106.95 that includes shipping I can have them in 3 days to my house. They had one light for 89.95 !!! OUCH !! I could just about get two for the price of there one. I figured if the price was 15.00 more I would buy them so i could just get them up and running tonight and support a great store but I wasn't born yesterday and that price is down right screwing the consumers !! That is over double the mark up! I checked local stores around my house and they can order them for around 60.00 a light that is reasonable so you can't tell me that preuss can sell them for a better price.
After showing the gal the price sheet from Big Als and asking if they could get close to the price , I wasn't expecting to get the lights for 47.95 I can undertand they have to cover there shipping costs and sales tax so I was willing to pay for that for the convience of walking out with the lights.She stated I could talk to the gal that orders on Monday but telling her I live an hour away that was out of the question. I told her that is to bad that there isn't a store manager that i could talk to as I would have walked out with the lights if they could have dropped the price a bit. The store employee stated they must be going on clearance for that price at big als, I said no T-5' s are new to the market and coralifes site still show the T-5 fixture as new on the web site. "oh thats right we just got them in 6months ago she claimed".
I did get a few plants that I can't find by me , and one black angel that was pretty pricy for his size but hard to find.
I just don't understand how they got that big of a store with prices like that.
comments please
|Wow thanks for the sneak peek rizman, and the info. gotta make it to Lansing soon!
|The two tanks you cant see contain plants from one of their show tanks that they are yet to set back up again... though I wish theyd sell the one large crinum they have

[UPDATE: This story was originally published on January 21.]
If you left your house last night, flipped on your TV, browsed Twitter or Instagram, there's no way (seriously, no way!) you could be out of the loop about the 49ers big win. Hot off the heels of the Giants' sweeping championship, another one of our beloved sports teams amped up the whole city with a wonderful success. And plenty of peeps were out celebrating in some way, shape, or form.
So, of course, we couldn't call ourselves fans if we didn't partake in the home-team appreciation by honoring the 49ers here on R29 S.F. That said, since we know there will be many a Superbowl fete to attend, picking out some gear obviously is first on the to-do list. We've rounded up some stellar red and gold pieces that are anything but yawn-inducing. So, have a look, start shopping, and get ready to party.

I really love this quilt, and I kind of want to steal the whole idea of it :D I've got a bunch of Mendocino waiting in the wings for me to find Just The Right Pattern, and it's surprisingly (I've got some of it sewn up into the start of a fairly large a Mod Times quilt, but I have yards more to make plans for someday.)
Anyway, I really do like yours!

I think this is what a comfort bra should be for a plus-size woman. It really does provide light support that is comfortable. I found that it does run true-to-size...I got the 2x and I am a 42F. That said, if your cup size is bigger, this probably isn't the bra for you. I just wish they made this in beige and that the straps where just a little bit wider. That said, I am back here to buy 2 more.

Guide to Developing an Environmental Management System
Building an Environmental Management System (EMS) might sound like an overwhelming task for a smaller organization, but it need not be. Taken in steps it's job that small and medium sized organizations can tackle. This page takes you though those basic steps as they are outlined in the 2001 Second Edition of Environmental Management Systems: An Implementation Guide for Small and Medium Sized Organizations (PDF) (201 pp, 1.4MB, About PDF). This Web page pulls out the guide's specific steps and points back to specific pages in the guide to fill out worksheets and get additional materials. See additional online EMS training, which also helps to understand the material below.
Planning, including identifying environmental aspects and establishing goals
Implementing, including training and operational controls
Checking, including monitoring and corrective action
Reviewing, including progress reviews and acting to make needed changes to the EMS.
Building an EMS might sound like an overwhelming task for a smaller organization, but it need not be. Time and resources are limited in any organization, it is important to use resources wisely.
The information below illustrates 10 steps in the EMS planning process. Take the time to figure out: what needs to be done, how to do it, and who must be involved will pay big dividends down the road.
Step 1: Define Organization's Goals for EMS
The first step in EMS planning is to decide why you are pursuing the development of an EMS. Are you trying to improve your environmental performance (for example, compliance with regulations or prevent pollution)? Write your goals down and refer back to them frequently as you move forward. As you design and implement the EMS, ask: How is this task going to help us achieve our goals? This also is a good time to define the project scope (i.e., what is the "organization" that the EMS will cover? One location? Multiple locations? Should we "pilot" the EMS at one location then implement the system at other locations later?).
Step 2: Secure Top Management Commitment
One of the most critical steps in the planning process is gaining top management's commitment to support EMS development and implementation. Management must first understand the benefits of an EMS and what it will take to put an EMS in place. To develop this understanding, explain the strengths and limitations of your current approach and how those limitations can affect the organization's financial and environmental performances. Management also has a role in ensuring that the goals for the EMS are clear and consistent with other organizational goals. Management's commitment should be communicated across the organization.
Step 3: Select An EMS Champion
Not all small- or medium-sized organizations have the luxury of choosing among multiple candidates, but your choice of project champion is critical. The champion should have the necessary authority, an understanding of the organization, and project management skills. The champion should be a "systems thinker" (ISO 9000 or ISO 14001 experience can be a plus, but is not necessary), should have the time to commit to the EMS-building process and must have top management support.
Step 4: Build An Implementation Team
A team with representatives from key management functions (such as engineering, finance, human resources, production and/or service) can identify and assess issues, opportunities, and existing processes. Include contractors, suppliers or other external parties as part of the project team, where appropriate. The team will need to meet regularly, especially in the early stages of the project. A cross-functional team can help to ensure that procedures are practical and effective and can build commitment to and "ownership" of the EMS.
Step 5: Hold Kick-Off Meeting
Once the team has been selected, hold a kick-off meeting to discuss the organization's objectives in implementing an EMS, the initial steps that need to be taken and the roles of team members. If possible, get top management to describe its commitment to the EMS at this meeting. The kick-off meeting also is a good opportunity to provide some EMS training for team members. Follow-up this meeting with a communication to all employees.
Step 6: Conduct Preliminary Review
The next step is for the team to conduct a preliminary review of your current compliance and other environmental programs/systems and to compare these against the criteria for your EMS (such as ISO 14001). Evaluate your organization's structure, procedures, policies, environmental impacts, training programs and other factors. See the NSF ISO 14001 Self-Assessment Tool (PDF) (63 pp, 134.7K, About PDF) or Incorporating Design for the Environment into Your Gap Analysis (PDF) (5 pp, 30 K, About PDF) for gap analysis tools.
Step 7: Prepare Budget and Schedule
Based on the results of the preliminary review, prepare a project plan and budget. The plan should describe in detail what key actions are needed, who will be responsible, what resources are needed, and when the work will be completed. Keep the plan flexible, but set some stretch goals. Think about how you will maintain project focus and momentum over time. Look for potential "early successes" that can help to build momentum and reinforce the benefits of the EMS.
Step 8: Secure Resources, Assistance
The plan and budget should be reviewed and approved by top management. In some cases, there may be outside funding or other types of assistance that you can use (from a trade association, a state technical assistance office, etc.). See Appendix F of the Environmental Management Systems: An Implementation Guide for Small and Medium Sized Organizations (PDF) (201pp, 1.4MB, About PDF) for more ideas on possible sources of help.
Step 9: Involve Employees
Ownership of the EMS will be greatly enhanced by meaningful employee involvement in the EMS development process. Employees are a great source of knowledge on environmental and health and safety issues related to their work areas as well as on the effectiveness of current processes and procedures. They can help the project team in drafting procedures.
Step 10: Monitor and Communicate Progress
As you build the EMS, be sure to regularly monitor your progress against the goals and project plan and communicate this progress within the organization. Be sure to communicate the accomplishments that have been made and describe what happens next. Build on small successes. Be sure to keep top management informed and engaged, especially if additional resources might be required.
Before beginning the Do section review the key elements of an EMS, with worksheets and examples, see pages 15-77 of Environmental Management Systems: An Implementation Guide for Small and Medium Sized Organizations (PDF) (201 pp, 1.4MB, About PDF).
Several up front EMS planning tasks (such as gaining top management commitment) were described in the "Plan" stage and should be completed prior to putting the elements of an EMS into place.
This stage begins the step by step action plan for developing and implementing the elements of an EMS. It describes a logical sequence for planning and implementing EMS elements and explains how this sequence can be important in building an effective EMS.
The Roadmap for EMS development, page 79 of Environmental Management Systems: An Implementation Guide for Small and Medium Sized Organizations (PDF) (201 pp, 1.4MB, About PDF) outlines the steps in the Do process in a diagram.
Keep in mind that this is just one way to do the job-you might find other approaches that work just as well. Each step of the suggested implementation process flow (and a rationale for its sequence) is discussed below.
A few hints to keep in mind as you build your EMS:
- You may already have some EMS elements in place, as indicated by the preliminary review that you performed earlier.
- Make sure to build links between elements. The effectiveness of your EMS depends as much on the strength of its links as it does on the strength of the individual elements.
- For many EMS elements, you will need to design and implement a process. In these cases, you also should consider documenting the process in the form of a procedure.
Step 1: Identify Legal and Other Requirements
A first step in the EMS-building process is understanding the legal and other requirements that apply to your products, activities and services. This step is important for understanding compliance obligations and how these obligations affect the overall EMS design. For example, you might have an operation that is covered by an air quality permit or might provide a service that results in the generation of regulated wastes. Your EMS should include processes to ensure that legal requirements are addressed.
Step 2: Identify Environmental Aspects and Related Products, Operations, and Activities
Once you understand legal requirements, you should assess how your organization interacts with the environment. Identifyi environmental aspects and impacts and determine which are significant. Some environmental aspects may be regulated, while others may not be.
For example, if you identify the generation of a particular air emission as a significant environmental aspect, it would help to know which operation(s) generate such air emissions. It might also help to know whether these air emissions are monitored or otherwise measured in some manner.
Collecting this information at an early stage will help you implement subsequent EMS elements. You can use a form to capture this information (such as Figure 15 found on page 81 in Environmental Management Systems: An Implementation Guide for Small and Medium Sized Organizations (201pp, 1.4MB, About PDF)). One caveat: just because you identify an existing control and/or monitoring activity related to a particular operation or activity, do not assume that these controls are adequate for EMS purposes. The adequacy of these controls will depend on several factors, including the EMS goals and objectives.
Step 3: Define Views of Interested Parties
Gather information on the views of your "stakeholders" or interested parties. Stakeholders might include your neighbors, interest groups, customers and others. Their views might address how your organization affects the environment, how well you are meeting environmental obligations, and whether your organization is a "good neighbor", among other topics. Gathering this information allows you to consider stakeholder input in the development of your environmental policy. Since you have already assessed your legal and environmental aspects, you should be in a good position to have meaningful dialogues with these stakeholders.
Step 4: Prepare Environmental Policy
At this point, you should have a sound basis for developing (or amending) an environmental policy. Using the information developed in the previous three steps allows your organization to prepare a policy that is relevant to the organization and the key issues that it faces. You should understand how well you are currently managing key issues. For example, information on the views of your stakeholders might be valuable in developing an environmental policy.
Step 5: Define Key Roles and Responsibilities
Once the environmental policy has been written, you can begin to define key roles and responsibilities within the EMS. At this stage of implementation, focus on "higher-level" responsibilities, such as the roles and responsibilities of senior management, key functional leaders and environmental staff (if one exists). Once the key roles and responsibilities have been defined, obtain the input of these individuals in the next step of the process - establishing objectives and targets. EMS responsibilities for other specific jobs or functions will be identified in a later step.
Step 6: Establish Objectives and Targets
These objectives should be consistent with your environmental policy and the analyses you carried out on legal requirements, environmental aspects and impacts, and the views of interested parties, etc.
You have identified the operations and activities related to environmental aspects and impacts and key roles and responsibilities. This information will help you to determine the relevant functions within the organization for achieving objectives and targets. For example, if you set an objective to reduce hazardous waste generation by 10 percent this year, you also should know which parts of the organization must be involved in order to meet this objective.
Step 7: Develop Environmental Management Programs, Identify Operational Controls, and the Identify Monitoring and Measurement Needs
This brings us to one of the most challenging (and potentially most valuable) steps in developing and EMS. You are ready to tackle several EMS elements simultaneously. These elements include the design of environmental management programs, the initial identification of necessary operational controls, and the initial identification of monitoring and measurement needs. You should already have a head start on this step, since you identified operations and activities related to your significant environmental aspects (as well as existing control and monitoring processes) several steps ago.
One reason for combining these steps is that they can often overlap significantly. For example, your environmental management program for achieving a certain objective (such as maintaining compliance with regulations) might consist of a number of existing operational controls (procedures) and monitoring activities. Achieving an objective might require a feasibility study or the implementation of certain "new" operational controls. Determining progress on achieving objectives often requires some form of monitoring or measurement.
Compile a list of your operational control and monitoring needs. As you develop your environmental management programs, ask yourself the following questions:
- How do we control this operation or activity now?
- Are these controls adequate to meet our objectives and to ensure compliance?
- If additional controls are needed, what types of controls make sense?
- What type of monitoring / measurement is needed to track our progress in achieving objectives and to ensure that operational controls are implemented as designed?
This process is usually iterative. You might need to revisit your management programs, operational controls and monitoring processes over time to ensure they are consistent and up-to-date.
Step 8: Establish Corrective Action, Document Control, & Records Management Processes
At this stage of implementation, your EMS will begin to generate some documents (such as procedures and forms) and records (that demonstrate that various processes are being carried out). You need an effective way to manage the records that your EMS generates. Establish procedures for corrective/preventive action, document control, and records management. These three processes are essentially "system maintenance" functions. As you develop and implement procedures, work instructions, and other EMS documents, you need a process for controlling the generation and modification of these documents. You will need a process to ensure that you can correct problems when they occur and manage records (such as monitoring activities).
Step 9: Establish Operational Controls & Monitoring Processes
Refer to the list of operational control and monitoring needs from Step 7. Use a template for the development of work instructions or standard operating procedures.
Employees that work in relevant operations or activities can provide support here.
Step 10: Define Job-Specific Roles and Responsibilities
Roles and responsibilities should address the specific operational controls and monitoring processes discussed above. You might want to document these responsibilities in a responsibility matrix or in some other form that is easily communicated to employees.
Step 11: Plan and Conduct Initial Employee Awareness
Initial employee awareness training should be conducted to promote understanding of the organization's EMS efforts and the progress made to-date. As a first step, train employees on the environmental policy and other elements of the EMS. Discuss the environmental impacts of their activities, any new/modified procedures, the organization's objectives and targets, as well as their EMS responsibilities. If you have contractors or others at your site who are not employees of your organization, consider whether these other individuals should be included in these EMS awareness sessions.
Step 12: Establish Other System-Level Procedures
Some system-level procedures (such as the procedures for identification of environmental aspects) were developed at earlier stages of the process. At this point, you can establish any other procedures required for the EMS. These other system-level procedures might include, for example:
- employee training and awareness,
- internal and external communication,
- emergency preparedness and response,
- EMS auditing, and
- management review.
Step 13: Prepare EMS Documentation (Manual)
Once you have established roles and responsibilities and defined all of your system-level procedures, preparing the EMS manual should be a relatively simple matter. The manual should summarize the results of your efforts. It should describe the processes developed, define the roles and responsibilities as well as other EMS elements. It is important to describe the links among system elements and provide direction to other system documents. Keep the manual simple - there is no need to provide great detail on any particular system process.
Step 14: Plan and Conduct Specific Employee Training
Once the procedures and other system documentation have been prepared, you are ready to conduct specific employee EMS training. As a first step, identify specific training needs. Employee training should be designed to ensure understanding of:
- key system processes,
- operational controls related to their specific jobs, and
- any monitoring or measurement for which they are responsible.
At this point, you should have sufficient EMS processes in place to begin to check your EMS.
As discussed earlier, your EMS should be built on the "Plan, Do, Check, Act" model to ensure that environmental matters are systematically identified, controlled, and monitored. Using this approach will help to ensure that performance of your EMS improves over time and that you meet your goals for implementing an EMS in the first place.
This stage continues the step by step action plan for developing and implementing the elements of an EMS. At this point, you should have sufficient EMS processes in place to begin to check your EMS. One approach is discussed below.
Conduct Internal EMS Audits
Once internal auditors have been selected and trained, you should design and initiate the internal auditing process. At this point, you should have sufficient EMS processes in place to conduct meaningful audits. Many organizations find that it is easier to start with smaller, more frequent audits than to audit the entire EMS at once. These early audits can serve as a learning tool. Audit records should be managed in accordance with the records management process. Once the audit results are known, use the corrective and preventive action process to address any identified problems.
This stage continues the step-by-step action plan for developing and implementing the elements of an EMS. At this point, you should have identified problems with your EMS and should act to resolve these issues. One approach is discussed below.
Conduct Management Reviews
Use the results of your internal audits (along with other information on the EMS) to conduct management reviews. Management should consider the need for any changes to the EMS and make assignments for any changes needed. Such assignments should be consistent with the roles and responsibilities previously established.
After acting on the results of management review, tasks performed in the "Plan" stage should be revisited, thus continuing the "full circle" process.

And Mad Dog got to the second point i was hoping we would get to. Well Done Sir.
Handgun violence is the real problem of gun violence. The Thousands dying every year from gun violence do so predominately by hand gun. The glock fires no faster than the AR-15, but is much more easily concealed and can accept extended clips. Hand guns ending up in the hands of people with bad intentions is always going to be an issue, and you wont disarm the US of handguns, so what behaviors can we attempt to change and modify and thru what avenues can we pursue what i like to refer to as the re-civilization of the US?
