Update: This promotion is now over. Sorry to those that missed it! To avoid missing promotions in the future, consider subscribing to dotTech: RSS Feed | E-mail | Twitter | Facebook.
This whole week has been a blast from the past; so why not end the week with a bang? In July dotTech ran a dotTech Promotion featuring the very popular WinX DVD Ripper Platinum. Now dotTech is again teaming up with Digiarty Software to bring everyone WinX DVD Ripper Platinum for free. This time around, however, we are featuring the program for Windows and Mac and we are providing the latest v6, a recent update to the program that brought quite a few changes. [NOTE: Since I am not a Mac user, I do not know if WinX DVD Ripper for Mac is v6 or not – it may have a different numbering scheme than WinX DVD Ripper Platinum (for Windows). Whatever version it is, it is the latest version offered by Digiarty Software. Furthermore, this article discusses the features of WinX DVD Ripper Platinum (for Windows); the features of WinX DVD Ripper for Mac are similar.]
For those that don't know about WinX DVD Ripper Platinum (have you been living in a cave?!), WinX DVD Ripper Platinum is a DVD-to-all ripper that allows you to easily rip/backup DVDs to multiple different video formats, including a 1:1 copy so you can store your backups in DVD quality. WinX DVD Ripper Platinum can also bypass DRM protection and region locks. Here are the main features of WinX DVD Ripper Platinum as per the developer:

I don't know if it is required or not to uninstall previous versions of WinX DVD Ripper Platinum before installing this latest version, but I highly suggest you uninstall previous versions anyway (to avoid any potential problems).

Tried the code AA-TYTGUWUJ-SSJGXD but nothung happened.
please help.
I've installed the WinXDVD ripper using AA-TYTGUWUJ-SSJGXD as the license key and it said 'Invalid License Code'.
Can you help ?
Good news! I found the issue, and it had nothing to do with WinX DVD Ripper Platinum. Instead, the Molex connector had popped out on its own! (oops!)
Thanks for the freebie, Ashraf. I do have a problem though, and am hoping a someone can help. I installed this offer, and I don't know if this is related or not, but found my DVD burner is no longer working. It's not listed as a drive in My Computer, and I can't even get the eject button to respond. Maybe this is just a coincidence? I'm running XP sp3.
The License code does not work anymore : (
I just found this and downloaded / installed it and it registered just fine for me.
The interface is a little busy with tabs, I will agree. But for some less experienced users (and me, when I've not had enough sleep) it's sometimes easier to have a tab for each permutation of conversion. It would be nice for the "active" tab to be highlighted a little more, but I can see which one it is (and my screen doesn't look at all pink – sorry Harold!).
I love that it has a preset tab for converting to Zen. I've had no luck finding anything with a preset for that and I love my little Zen.
One thing that would be nice in a future version would be the ability to set in "Options" to NOT show some of the tabs. Turn them off, so to speak. I don't have an iPod/iPhone/iPad/iTV/iCan Opener a PSP or a Zune and I'll probably never want to make a DVD into FLV or MOV (someone might, just not me) – so I could get rid of half the tabs right there and streamline the interface right off. Many people wouldn't want some subset of the tabs like my delightful little Zen tab, so they could make their own customizations. Just a thought…
Thanks so much for offering this Digiarty Software! And thanks for helping us to get our hands on it Ashraf and dotTech!!
Huzzah Ashraf! Thanks again for all you and your elves do for us – Cheers!

I have been using a competitors software for the past three years for all my copying needs. I tried WinX DVD Ripper Platinum and think it is great. I will be using this software from now on. It has a lot of great features. I really like that you can convert a DVD to all the other formats. My other software did not do this. Great job. Thank you.
Willy Neurauter
Thanks for the up grade!
Tony Osime
Thanks Dee.
It is good to know that the running time can be automatically added to the output file name. This is a nice feature.
There are times when I want to put 2 or more films on one CD or DVD disk. Knowing the estimated output size in advance of the conversion will reduce the trial and error involved when you only know the output size after each conversion.
What I would like is an estimated output size before conversion and better still, an option to allow me to set the output size then the program sets the best quality settings for that size.
Thanks again for the tip.
Thanks Ashraf & Digiarty,
Great product would be awesome as a portable version too.
I second Michael for the possibility to create our own profiles.
@ Tony Osime
In Options /Target file name, you can auto add the output clip duration, and other info to set your preferred template.

Found I had already downloaded V6.0, but had failed to register it. So I uninstalled, and reinstalled, but it never asked for a code. It indicates it is a registered copy though. I tried it out and works wonderfully.. Thanks again Ashraf.
Thanks once again for another fine product at an excellent price – free!!
Uninstaled previous build with Revo Pro, installed the new one. Did not asked for key. It used previous key by itself. It says it is registered with the previous key. Question : should the previous key be removed and updated with the new one?
a lifetime license keep dottech closer to anyone
I would like to have such an amazing software.
I did same install over an older version and succeeded in updating to latest vr.6 ed. without having to enter a new key.
Thanks a million – WinX is a must have in my arsenal of multi-media utilities; it is just the tops.!
Thanks Ashraf
Terrific! I had, and liked the earlier version. Not only am I grateful for the Windows update, but was delighted to install it on my partner's damned Mac. From what planet are derived the people who find Macs to be intuitive and simple?
Rich company, releases more and more freebies, I wonder if anyone even buys a license from them?
Phil K
Superb, thank you
You the same Ashraf who we all rely on to review and recommend on Giveawayoftheday ?
This site is a real tribute to you, mate !
In my opionion, WinX DVD Ripper Platinum is one of the best Ripper of the world. In the Version 6 it's easier to use, the user interface is really clear, althoug you have all the important setting on it.
What I would enjoy: The possibility to create own profiles, for ripping.
Adding some languages (e.g. german) would be very nice,too (I would be willing to help translating in german).
All in all it's a fantastic software, which I really like to use.
Thank You dotTech for this great offer.
Best regards (from Germany),
Dan Groves
Don't normally post, but I love this s/w! Been using it for about a year, upgraded several times (thanks to dotTech and GOTD) and it just keeps getting better. Keep up the great work, Digiarty. And welcome back, Ashraf – you rock! Thank you.
The Mac Version is Version 3.3.5.
dottech.org said to be the only place for best reviews of best software with best opportunities to get best software for free .
Tony Osime
1) The format tab we select should be much darker and the format title should also appear at the top of the options. This makes it easier to know which format you are using.
2) The estimated size of the final file should be stated for our reference.
3) To take item 2 a step further, offer settings that will allow us to reach a target final file size which we specify.
Harold Carlson
I have two suggestions. Somewhat still "shooting from the hip" as I have not extensively used your program.
1) The screen shows up as pink in color — this is not a real "man" color. Maybe have colors by gender! (sorta kidding on that – but)
2) I evaluate a lot of software and have been slaving away on computers for 25 years — one thing I see is that just because we have all these fancy GUI options menus get "OVER-GUI'D" (for the record I hold the "patent" on that word. I LOVE KISS. I LOVE TOP TO BOTTOM LEFT HAND BAR OPTIONS THAT LEAD TO SUB-OPTIONS.
ps I'm getting old so I avoid places like Subway! Ha!! (Funny to me at 3:am) So I hope I win the award. I am humbled by people that can program stuff and then market it too! WOW

I love Scott Pilgrim saves the world.
I love gore and "torture porn" as it is commonly referred to. I just watching "Captivity" not even Elisha Cuthbert's sexyness could save that one. Awful Awful. I think that was some sadistic trick to torture the viewer.
Vacancy 2 was a major let down, I thought the first one was good.
Oh and the movie Paul, the little alien dude voiced by Seth Rogen. I don't think I've ever laughed so little as in this pseudo-comedy.
hmm, hard question to answer.
I'll just say, "worst movie I've ever seen after expecting a good movie"
that would be oliver stone's Alexander. I wanted to talk out of the theater but I wasn't alone so I couldn't.

Creator of the Stars at Night
The God who created the cosmos is the God who came to us as a child in Bethlehem.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
The God who created the cosmos is the God who came to us as a child in Bethlehem.
The song is built around the image of a river flowing through a canyon it has sculpted—an image that can easily be played out as a picture of the way that the Lord has been at work preparing a path for us in the material world, complete with signposts to his former and present activity.
As we remember the narrative that takes us from Good Friday through Easter morning, the image of a buried grain of wheat invites us into the story rather than just describing what happens in it.
Of all the blessings to be thankful for on Thanksgiving Day, none of them surpasses the riches of the eternal blessings which the Lord has bestowed on his sons and daughters in Christ Jesus.
While in common parlance we tend to think of something being "co-opted" as a bad thing and a violation of original principles or intentions, the word itself does not imply a "hijacking" so much as a divergence with connection: co-operation between one use and another.
The complex sounds in the piece are created by only five human voices over a foundation of a single cello—the entirety of the Toby Twining Music ensemble.
I wonder if the answer might lie not in our study of God but in our praise of Him.
What is the character of our creative interaction with the world—not only the material world alone, but also the spiritual one? What do we literally make of the gift we of all creatures have—to see the intricacies of the cosmos and to recognize that they point not just to a god or designer, but to the Lord who invites us into intimate relationship with Him and each other?
Just as the Lord gave Adam the task of naming the animals in the Garden, naming remains a central part of the scientific exploration of the world. But what does it mean to be "called by name"?

Oregon State University - Reser StadiumThis panorama, photographed by James Blakeway, highlights Reser Stadium as the Pac-10 Conference Oregon State Beavers football team plays before their home crowd. Since 1953, the stadium was known as Parker Stadium, named after Portland businessman Charles T. Parker. In 1999, the name was changed to Reser Stadium, in honor of Al and Pat Reser, major contributors to Oregon State athletics. After several renovations, current seating capacity is 45,674. The facility sits on the beautiful 400-acre campus located in Corvallis, Oregon. The Beavers play a rivalry game each year against the University of Oregon called the "Civil War". Established in 1868, Oregon State University currently enrolls more than 21,000 students.
Bring your wall alive with blue skies, green grass, and a human wave of pure orange! A spectacular, rare OSU print you'll likely never see in stores. Printed in brilliant color and perfect focus on high-quality paper stock, and complete with a sharp white border that includes the official team logo and a brief descriptive paragraph, this is both a beauty for the wall of home or office, and a great collector's item for years to come. Perfect for the wall of any student, alumnus, athlete, Beavers fan, or Pacific Northwest resident!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|when you msg Charles, make sure be specific and show him proof that you are a fish tank enthusiast, but not a crack head. he sure will provide help to the fish keepers instead of guys who want to make their cocaine weight more(diluted), lol.
because they have long stringy feces doesn't always mean they have a parasite, or worm like C. Worm..
They could be constipated, or several other stomach issues. Just keep an eye on them. If they have C. Worms they should be sticking out of the anal area
|marko d
My experience seems different than most peoples. My fish were fine for the first dose, then lost after retreating 3 weeks later. Same procedure.
I'm pretty sure my ram has them, based soley on clear, stringy waste. Not every time, but enough to make me think so. Its eating normal, good color, actively swimming.
Based on my first experience, I am hesitant to use levamisole again. But don't want to wait until its too late. I've got some on the way.
Posted from Plantedtank.net App for Android
yea i agree.. it makes sense that it will depend on how bad they have the worms.. like my fish only had 1 or 2 worms at the most sticking out..
When my 2 golden rams in my QT'ed tank got better i didn't see any of the worms in the bottom of the tank.. I have no gravel in it so it was easy to see anything that came out of them.. My filter did suck up a lot though. I had been feeding them blood worms to pass the worms quicker, and some of the fecal matter was extremely dark red, which could of included some of the worms in them? That was when I noticed that they were much healthier and swimming about in the tank instead of idling and sitting by themselves in the corner. Hope i don't have to deal with this again, but for 30 dollars my Vet got me 100 grams, which is basically a lifetime supply of the stuff lol.
Ya... we definitely need more people to post their experiences. Charles believed it was due to the knots of the worms detaching in the fishes intestines. Which from a biological stand point, makes sense. My fish were definitely back to normal within 1 hour of me removing the lev from the water column. In fact, they are eating like horses now.
I really noticed it the worms take it hard to my Bolivian rams. My female i don't think has fully recovered, but she is back to eating a lot once again and most of her color and fins have come back.
If i was to buy lev from anywhere else. It definitely would be a vet. I would stay clear of buying it from an online source besides charles
but i definitely appreciate this conversation, because i know all of these posts will help someone else one day
forgot to add, im pretty sure I got the good levamisole without a bunch of additives.. Prob why it worked so well. I on the other hand didn't have an issue with it killing all my snails.. Although i do have a lot of them.. some may have died, but i definitely don't mind.
They were eating all my Ram's eggs
see I had a completely different reaction. After 24 hours my Rams that were infected with C. Worms, were active and all their color had come back. Their appetite came back better than ever too. What is included in the Levamisole you got?
When they were infected i could see the worms coming out of them and my fish would just sit on the bottom and wouldn't eat..
The next day like i mentioned they were swimming all over and color had come back. I since dosed another one for them.
The levamisole i got from a Vet in a neighboring town worked great. Ill have to look when i get home tomorrow to see exactly what it was.. but it is the powder form and it isn't 10% like most people say.. It is a much higher concentration
I was lucky I was able to get ahold of it without a prescription.. they are kind of a hillbilly middle of nowhere Vet office and they didn't care.
The thing with buying lev and other meds meant for other animals, is many times there are other additives. Pure lev is extremly hard to find and Charles was pretty much the only source.
It did take him nearly a week to get back to me after submitting the request. I think we will need more input from other people regarding the reaction of fish to lev though. Nearly everyone of my fish became sluggish and refused to eat for 2 days following dosage. Additionally, i lost all snails
Sorry if I wasn't that clear in my explanation. I also contacted that Charles guy, he responded to me once, then never returned an email so I went elsewhere for my levamisole.
Anyway, I followed his instructions as well. When i mentioned 24 hours, it also depends on how strong the levamisole you are dosing as well..
Like some of the people mention, putting in more than what is called for doesn't hurt the fish.
Don't worry I did treat my Rams 3 times, I just dosed the recommended dosage and let it go in my tank for 24 hours, then did a water changed. Several days later I dosed again.
I no longer see any worms. I do understand that C. Worms are very resistant, but most become this way if they are born in fish farms where they became resistant to lots of medications.. The fish i bought were raised in a pet store and didn't have all the fish farm type meds. So far all my fish are completely fine.
Like i said i plan on treating my tank several more times to be sure. Even though I don't have any more fish showing any issues. At least I have a cure if they get it again.
|Just wanted to pipe in and say I also bought from Charles and so far it seems to have worked. I unfortunately bought from ebay first and that stuff had no effect.
I dont want to scare you, but all of the research i have seen (and yes, i came upon that article) states exactly what charles wrote about this this article.(http://www.inkmkr.com/Fish/CamellanusTreatment.pdf)
I HIGHLY doubt 24 hours of treatment was enough. These are parasites, not bacteria are are NOT easily killed. Simply dosing and then expecting just to vaccum them out are the reason we are seeing resistant strains of C worms. They are extremely hardy parasites and everything i have seen stated treatment for 3 days twice. I know the entire post is alot, but most of what you posted here is discussed within all of the posts. The Lev actually does completely kill the worm. I watched this happen over a 3 day period as my large angels got rid of them.
I just noticed this post.. I got Camallanus worms or whatever in one of my Golden rams, and didn't know what it was til he got really bad.. I first went to Tractor supply and got Fendbendazole or whatever.. and soaked blood worms in it and then treated. Didn't work all that well.. I had to wait for a Vet to get Levamisol for me. Some tractor supplies have it apparently so if some of you guys are struggling to find it check out any tractor supply stores. My host fish died the night before i got the Levamisole.. My rams were all store bred, so idk where i got the worm from..
Anyway, i did a 24 hour treatment twice and it seemed to clear up the worms in my rams.. All of their color returned and they began scooting around the tank as usual.
I returned everything back to my 30 gallon out of the Quarantined 5 gallon.. as none of my other fish have any signs of it. But just in case i did do 1 treatment on my 30 gallon and plan to do another one probably next wk just in case..
They suggest to vacuum your gravel and drain the water because of the eggs from the worms and Levamisol doesn't necessarily kill the worms, it just stuns them then they fall into your tank.. that is why they say to vacuum.
Can't believe no one has posted this article, but you all need to read this if you have any issues with C. Worms
|The large water change i assume is to remove EVERYTHING else from the tank so that its just water and Lev. Lev will kill most eggs from the research i have done depending on the stage of development, but the whole point of treatment is to do it twice. I am moving on to my second treatment tonight. Hopefully these littler buggers are completely gone after this.
|marko d
What is the reasoning for a 100% water change? Is there eggs or something in the water column? Seems like more stress for already stressed fish.
If it's for removal of the chemical, wouldn't a large water change and carbon be a better option?

Recipe by Theresa Spencer
"This rosemary ranch chicken recipe is so delicious, tender, and juicy the chicken will melt in your mouth. Even the most picky eater will be begging for the last piece."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1/2 cup
olive oil
1/2 cup
ranch dressing
3 tablespoons
Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon
minced fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons
1 teaspoon
lemon juice
1 teaspoon
white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon
ground black pepper, or to taste
1 tablespoon
white sugar, or to taste
skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch cubes
These were HEAVENLY! My husband and I would give them 10 stars if we could. I lined a grill basket with tinfoil and put the chicken and some marinade into it and grilled the pieces that way. I used dried rosemary and cut the sugar in half. I also used low fat ranch dressing and completely omitted the salt because it just isn't necessary. These were melt in your mouth MOIST and DELICIOUS!! Even my 19-month-old and 3-year-old gobbled this up. The marinade from the grill basket was also incredible poured over white rice. EXCELLENT RECIPE!!!!!
EDIT: I've since made this recipe on the stove top and in the oven in order to use up all the marinade (which is INCREDIBLE on rice) and both alternate methods are good by the oven is a better 2nd choice as the stove top method tended to dry the chicken out a bit but still tasted great! I bake it with all the marinade on 450 for 20 minutes. Melt in your mouth moist! EDIT AGAIN: I tried another reviewers recommendation to use Trader Joe's ranch dressing...just not that good with it. It might be slightly healthier for you but I'm willing to splurge for the little dressing that's used and use hidden valley ranch light. Made a HUGE difference to my family and to guests who've had it both ways. Cut back on oil...but use flavorful ranch dressing!
Even after adding additional seasoning, it wasn't enough flavor for my family. My daughter ended up dipping it in her typical BBQ sauce (a sign of blandness). Will try something different next time.

Very tender chicken! I would use this marinade for chicken breasts as well. We reserved a little of the marinade and added more ranch dressing for a nice dipping sauce on the side. UPDATE: I've made these so many times now because they're just that good. You can cut down on the oil and substitute dried rosemary for the fresh if you don't have any on hand. I always use the sugar and 1 tsp. of salt vs. two. If you're looking to cut down on calories Hidden Valley Ranch Light Buttermilk Dressing works great with this recipe. I usually marinate this at least 6 hours. No matter what you do - it's bound to come out moist and delicious.
This was fabulous! Based on other reviews, I cut back the olive oil to 1/4 cup and omitted the salt and am glad I did. Threw fresh rosemary twigs (soaked in water for 1/2 hour) in the smoker while barbequing these and the aroma, oh my, the aroma! If I was Italian I would be kissing my fingers. Momma Mia!!! Thanks for a great recipe!
WOW! These were fantastic! Even my 19-month-old gobbled these up! The only ingredient I left out was the salt. I made one batch of marinade for the chicken and another batch to marinate vegetables...onions, portabello mushrooms and quartered new potatoes (about 2 lbs). After you quarter the potatoes put them in a microwave safe dish and add 1/2 cup water. Microwave on high for 13-15 minutes, just stir halfway through cooking time. Otherwise the potatoes would never be done on the grill at the same time as everything else on the skewer! After microwaving let them cool a little and then marinade. I marinaded everything in a couple of ziploc bags for about 2 hours. We will definitely make this again and again!
My family enjoyed this meal immensely. I marinated thie veggies that I used also (Vidalia onion, red and green bell pepper, and yellow squash) and it came out absolutely luscious. I made this with both the dried rosemary and again with the fresh rosemary, and I think that the fresh rosemary really adds a lot to the flavor. This will be a favorite recipe in the summer grilling months at our home!
4 1/2 stars in our house! I baked chicken pieces in the marinade at 350 for about 20 minutes. I thought it was delicious, my husband thought it was good. I might decrease the lemon juice and vinegar next time because it was a little tangy for our taste, but the chicken was tender, and the sauce was delicious over rice.
These kabobs are flavorful, juicy & fabulous! Followed the recipe almost exactly and used fresh rosemary, except I took a hint from other reviewers and cut back on the salt a little bit. I also marinated red & green peppers, sweet onions and mushrooms with the chicken, reserving a little of the marinade to use for basting. It took a little time to thread everything on the skewers and a bit messy, but it was so worth it! Next time I'm going to try putting things on the skewers first, then marinate. These would be wonderful to make ahead for a party or any kind of get-together!

The Coudersport Falcons used a 14-for-14 effort from the foul line in the fourth quarter to defeat the St. Marys Area Flying Dutchmen by a 59-51 score last night at the Dutch Oven.
St. Marys held a slim 40-38 lead going into the final eight minutes of play. In the fourth quarter, the Falcons outscored the Dutch by a 21-11 margin to come out on top.
"We struggled from the foul line tonight but it was our inability to stop their penetration. They were able to penetrate too easily," said St. Marys coach Mark Guido.
"We had some nice runs, but we were not able to extend them. Their guard play was strong and it hurt us.
"We need to learn from this loss - learn from the experience and get ready for our next game."
The St. Marys offense was led by Dylan Reigel with 21 points on six twos and three threes. Bob Vollmer scored 10 points on four field goals and a two-for-two night from the foul line.
Coudersport was led by Tim McCusker with 16 points on three twos, two threes and a four-for-four night from the foul line. Jason Gibson finished with 14 points on four twos, a three and a three-for-four night from the foul line. John Michael Rigas scored 10 points on three field goals and a four-for-four night from the foul line.
The early goings of last night's game was a back-and-forth affair, with Coudy opening the game with a foul shot by Taylor Hathaway. Justin Quiggle gave the Dutch the lead with a field goal. Gibson scored for the Falcons, with Quiggle converting a three-point play, 5-3. A bucket by Bob Vollmer gave St. Marys the 7-3 lead.
Coudersport then scored seven unanswered points to go up 10-7. Vollmer and McCusker exchanged buckets with Rigas scoring for Coudersport, giving the Falcons the 14-9 lead after the first quarter.
Gibson scored to open the second period. St. Marys went on a 7-0 run to tie the game at 16-16 with 5:01 left in the half: Reigel hit a three, while Werner hit a foul shot and Vollmer scored three points in the run. Christopher Rigas scored for Coudersport and Reigel hit a two and a three, 21-18. McCusker tied the game with a three. Vollmer scored for the Dutch, 23-21. Hathaway converted a three-point play for the Falcons to give them a 24-23 lead. A bucket by Werner gave the Dutch the 25-24 halftime lead.
Quiggle scored for the Dutch, 27-24. A three by Kevin Wolfinger and two by McCusker made it 29-27. Ryan Mancuso tied the game with two foul shots with 4:30 left in the period. The teams traded points and the lead. A bucket by Reigel with 1:15 left made the score 37-34. He added a three with 25 seconds left to make the score 40-36. Gibson scored with nine seconds left to cut the Dutch lead to 40-38 with one quarter left.
Reigel tied the game at 45 midway through the fourth quarter. Coudersport went up 47-45. Werner converted a foul shot, 47-46. Coudersport converted four foul shots to make the score 51-46 with 2:11 left. Vollmer sank a foul shot, 51-47. Two foul shots by McCusker made it 53-47. Quiggle scored for the Dutch before Rigas converted two foul shots. Reigel scored a field goal before Coudersport sank four foul shots to win the game 59-51.

Unique DHEA metabolite
7-KETO DHEA, a safe and natural metabolite of DHEA, was the subject of research for over a decade at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. Of over 150 DHEA compounds tested, 7-KETO proved to be the most promising form. Researchers discovered that 7- KETO does not convert to testosterone or estrogen, minimizing androgenic activity, and supports various physiological processes. It is several times more potent than DHEA in stimulating the thermogenic enzymes of the liver, promotes basal metabolism, and helps to increase the lean/adipose ratio. These actions safely support a leaner BMI (Body Mass Index) and healthy weight control. In a double-blind study involving 30 overweight adults, 7-KETO supported healthy body composition and BMI when combined with exercise. Other patented applications include enhancing healthy immune function and supporting memory and cognitive processes in animal studies. 7-KETO DHEA is also known as DHEA-Acetate-7-one, 3-acetoxy-androst-5-ene-7, 17-dione, or 3-acetyl-7-oxo- dehydroepiandrosterone.
7-KETO DHEA is a versatile, patented DHEA metabolite providing metabolic, immune and memory support without converting to the sex hormones testosterone or estrogen.

The liquid-filled airlocks are fine but making them is a horror and also, I was used to let bottles in cellar for long time until it's finished and sometimes I found out that it dried...
So there's one primitive airlock that needs no care.
It works just on two facts:
1)There's still higher pressure in the bottle than outside (this works until yeast dies or runs out of sugar)
2)Relative molecular weight of CO2 is 43.99 g/mol. Air has 25.93 g/mol. Result of this is when you have CO2 in bottle, it won't mix with air until wind blows into the bottle (at least for some time, due to diffusion).
I make Ginger Ale at home in a 3L bottle, and this would be perfect for letting the gas out over the 3-day fermentation period.
The balloon works great without it!!!
As an "airlock," the hole in the balloon allows excess carbon dioxide to escape.
Sure, WE can just get into the car, and drive to the nearest outdoor supply store, and pick one up, but can ANY of you do better with stuff you have on hand when YOU need a pressure releif valve?
I sat here and tried to think if I could make one, and I don't have the spring on hand...
GOOD JOB, Dude!
Cut a hole in your lid
Stick some clear plastic hose into the hole, but not so far that it touches your liquid.
Stick the other end of the hose into a container of water that's lower than the top of your fermenting liquid.
Saved me plenty of times when I ran out of proper bubble airlocks (which are only $1.25 at most retailers)
And if you glue it, the smell of glue gets into your drink.
Also, I wanted something that can't be easily broken.
How I do it is to get a length of tube, and put it into a jug of water. Works great for me, but I will have to remember this if I get into a pinch in the future.
get some white lithium food grade machine grease for your "oil seal"
very nice instructrable!
so, with all that out of the way...
this is not a airlock, this is a pressure relief valve.
to those of you who have offerd advice on diffrent substances to use in an air lock, or larger blow off tubes to larger bucket type airlocks?
y'all done missed the point ;)
the author of the 'ible 'expressed concern over airlocks evaporating off when "long term projects" are left to condition unmolested.
the purpose of an airlock is to allow the tank to out gas, and not let any outside gas enter into the vessel that could cause contamination.
this device allows pressure to build up, then release when sufficient back pressure builds up. So, more of a poor mans safety release valve than an airlock.
if you REALLY wanna go "poor man" about it.. just stick a balloon over the neck of the fermentation bottle for the same effect ;)
often times when we got a tank of brew, like say our barely wine, needs to hold at cellar temp for a period of say.... six months.. once fermentation is done we'll stick a butterfly valve on the tanks blow off tube and seal it off. At that point if any latent CO2 pressure builds up in the tank, the safety relief valve will let off until the tank equalizes to it the safety zone.. an added benefit of this is that before the tank lets off, a lot of CO2 returns to suspension, so at finishing time, carbonation is a matter of a mild adjustment rather then a full blown forced carbonation.
Yes, it's a bit difficult to get airlocks. I know only of one shop which has them (also has yeast, yeast salt, K2S2O5,...).
Go to a store that carries tire valve stems. Drill a hole in the cap and pop in the valve stem. You can release co2 by just pushing on the stem valve like you do to let the air out of a tire or use it to inject gas..
It's like the Soyuz Spacecraft of pressure caps: simple, strong, functional, reliable :)
Like @RobotLover, I was puzzled by the title, "Poor Man's Airlock." But when I saw the picture I HAD to investigae. And I have now learned more about making fermented beverages.
Nice! :)
Oztops have the added advantage that they retain a certain pressure, so the product can be carbonated.

Woodhaven, NY 11421
Had a really terrific lunch here on Saturday afternoon.. I have had only a few experiences with Filipino Food and they all have been enjoyable.. However, this restaurant has gone above and beyond my perceptions.
Sisig-We started with a wonderful rendition of a classic Filipino dish.. Sisig.. Basically, parts of the pigs head, a little liver, but mainly ears, marinated with a strong soy sauce flavor.. They are then chopped fine and served on a sizzling cast iron Fajita dish.. As we sat there listening to the sizzling and the crisping of the meat, our server then cracked an egg in the middle of the dish.. Then we mixed it up and allowed the other side of the meat to crisp and for the egg to cook.. This dish was terrific.. Mixed with some rice, there was something so comforting about the dish..
Beef Soup-Next up, upon the waiters suggestion, we ordered this.. The dish had a super dark and clean tasting beef broth.. Served in the soup was cabbage, bone marrow, and chunks of beef. Soup was very good and enough for three or 4 people.. The beef went well with a spicy vinegar sauce they served on the side..
Crispy Pork Belly- Lastly, we ordered crispy pork belly served with a liver sauce on the side.. The pork belly was just fantastic.. Perfectly crisp, a very large portion, and the accompanying liver sauce somehow brightened and lightened the dish? How this is possible, I do not know..
As we were sitting there drinking our beers that we purchased from the Bodega next door, we watched many dishes whip out of the kitchen.. All of the people eating in there, besides our table, were Filipino.
Crispy Pata or fried pork trotter, looked amazing! As did the several of the different fried egg roll looking things..
I might not know all the ins and outs of Filipino food but, I know when something tastes good.. And here the food is really exceptional.. I have to return here some time this week!

re: Daniel76
Sorry, Daniel. We're all in line at Eataly.
A few friends and I made it to Mama Meena's today for an almost all-pork lunch. Almost everything we tasted was fantastic, and not too heavyset when taken in reasonable doses (which my group definitely did not do).
-Crispy Pata was exceptional in texture, but didn't have a terribly meaty or porky flavor. The layer of cracklin' and chewy bits of browned pork were a joy to chew on, and the their taste was brightened/cut by dipping bits of meat into accompanying bowls of vinegar before eating.
-Lechon kawali (the fried pork belly) was a good upshot to the pata. A tad dry in parts, but nearly greaseless, perfectly crunchy on the outside, and not *entirely* fat on the inside... though it depends on which piece you take :)
-Lumpia Shanghai were well done, but not very adventurous. Quikiam (pork and veg ground into a creamy paste, partitioned into fingers, wrapped in a tofu casing then deep-fried) were the more enjoyable appetizer. I have no frame of reference for that dish, but I'd order it again with a group.
-Meena's sisig was definitely my favorite dish: the various bits of hog head are chopped to an almost uniform consistency, and while the bits are pleasantly gritty, they never feel gristly or greasy. A squeeze of lemon juice and splash of vinegar mixed into the meat up the complexity of the dish, giving it a nice contrast between deep, savory flavors and the tartness of the garnish. And the added bonus of an egg adds to its richness. Like Daniel says, letting the bits crisp and mixing a big spoonful into your rice makes for fantastic comfort food.
-Chicharong Bulaklak (deep fried "ruffles" cut from around the pig's intestine -- or is it just intestine?) were my second favorite of the hyper-rich pork dishes. They're little flowers of crisped fat, muscle and cartilage that have a... challenging texture and comforting taste. Like most of the pork dishes we sampled, this is not one I would order without a group to help me wolf it down!
My group ordered 4 apps, 4 dishes, and 1 halo halo to share. With service charge, our total came out to $16 each -- a great bargain. I plan on returning to Mama Meena's soon to try their other specialties and usual dishes... this time avoiding the pork overload! I've got my eye on pinakbet, pancit, chicken tinola, and ginisang stew.

Had a very nice family meal here on Saturday. At a tad after five on a Saturday, the joint was near-to-full and stayed that way. There was also a decent amount of take-out and delivery traffic. The service and proprietress were laid back, friendly and gracious, the overall atmosphere relaxed and familiar. Place struck me as clean as well.
We overdid the fried dishes, and didn't regret it for a minute.
- Lechon Kiwali: This was on pretty much every table (as were the lumpia shanghai - next time). It was surprisingly low on the grease-end, crispy, tasty, moist and fatty. The accompanying brown sauce was sweet without overdoing it.
- Fried Red Snapper: The meat wasn't plentiful but was moist and fresh tasting. The best part, though, was biting off everything along the outer shell that was crispy and edible. Not much cheek meet on the Snapper; that didn't stop my kid from making a lunge for the head though. That's usually his favorite part.
- Fried calamari: We ordered this off the appetizer menu, but it came out last. No matter - the portion was pretty similar to the mains and it was, yet again, another fried dish. These were killer, best dish in a very good meal. The deep frying was expert, crispy, the interior very fresh, chewy and juicy. The accompanying red chili sauce complemented it perfectly. This is easily the best fried squid I've had in a long time, and we tend to get it wherever it's available. FYI: This is available as a main dish as well.
- Sago Et Guluman: The ever-so-refreshing cold drink with tapioca. Perfect for hot weather.
- Halo Halo special w/ purple yam ice cream: I've never been a big fan of shaved ice desserts, but this was pretty good and utterly unworldly looking. The two scoops of deep purple yam ice cream sitting atop the big bowl of shaved ice is wonderuflly surreal in appearance. I'd get the ice cream on its' own again - it was the best part.
- Mango Ice Cream: Okay, not great. What it had going for it was that it was not overly sweet, but it didn't taste all that much like mango. Dessert-wise, the flan looked like a nice option.
The bill, pre-tip, came to 44 and change, not bad considering all the food and drinks we had. I definitely am looking to return.
re: Polecat
Polecat, Eaten Path, Daniel 76 -
What's the situation re: veg. options? Are there any? :) This place sounds amazing, but are the veggies among us out of luck?
re: CitySpoonful
The veg situation is somewhat grim at first glance. 8 out of 9 items on the "Vegetables" menu include meat -- the exception is ginataang langka (green jackfruit sauteed in coconut milk). You should call and ask if they can make dishes 100% vegetarian on request before making the trek.
re: CitySpoonful
In answer to my own question, I can confirm that the veggie pickins' are slim at Mama Meena's.
At a recent meal with a few other hounds, the table was full of dishes, but just one was totally veg. (though a second came close -- the shrimp paste was on the side). That lone "pure veg." dish was the omelette with a whole roasted (and skinned) eggplant baked into it. I'm a big eggplant fan, but it was quite bland -- the eggplant had none of the smokiness that I love in many Indian and Middle Eastern dishes.
The other quasi veg. dish also involved eggplant -- in this case, two slim asian eggplants, skins removed, with raw onion, scallion and tomato as a garnish (and said shrimp paste -- which really made the dish). This was also pretty bland, though a dab of shrimp paste (yes, I'm a vegetarian with flexible principles) and a dash of the spicy vinegar dipping sauce helped to liven things up a bit.
Though they were mostly off limits, aside from some strategic picking, the meat dishes looked great. The beef stew and the sisig looked particularly tasty -- esp. the sisig, which I couldn't pass up the chance to try (and yes, it was delicious -- tangy and salty and savoury and totally worth cheating on my vegetarian principles to try!).
But my favorite dish of the night was the halo halo with taro ice cream. Meena herself instructed us in the proper mixing technique, and in no time we had soupy, bright purple chilled milky/nuttty/sweet goodness in a bowl. Lots of fruit bits and jellies thrown into the mix, too -- not just ice and condensed milk and ice cream. I only wish it wasn't an hour commute to get more of it.
(For dairy phobes, the melon drink, with shredded cantaloupe and a bit of extra sugar added, is also pretty awesome...)

re: CitySpoonful
Halo-halo, you may know, literally means "mix-mix." But when eating it a la mode, I prefer to mix everything but the ice cream. (Ours, shown below, actually featured ube, or purple yam.) I skim off a bit of still-frozen ice cream with each spoonful, while I can; it melts into the mix-mix soon enough without any help.
More photos of our meal, in the second half of this set:
re: DaveCook
Dave, thank you for pointing out the ube/purple yam (the deep redish-purple agglomeration just below the rim in Dave's photo)! It was a lovely, sweet (though not overpoweringly so) touch.
re: CitySpoonful
I could have been clearer: That's ube ice cream, and not taro ice cream, on top of our halo-halo.
re: CitySpoonful
...and I can confirm that the meat pickin's at Mama Meena's are fatter than ever.
Aside from crispy pata, lechon kawali, quikiam, chicharong, and the dishes mentioned above, we tried:
-Beef pochero. Essentially stewed short rib with carrot, potato, plantain (fantastic), and green bean. I found it satisfying but not stellar; it's a competent, comforting stew.
-Pinakbet. Green beans, squash, bitter melon, tomato, eggplant, shrimp and pork stir-fried in fish sauce. This was my first taste of pinakbet, a dish that traditionally includes a type of purple shrimp paste. I expected the flavors to be more pronounced, but enjoyed the dish nonetheless.
-Pancit malabon. Thick rice noodles tossed in a light fish-and-shrimp sauce, then topped with prawns, hard-boiled egg, ground/crumbled pork rind, green onion and a lemon wedge. I really enjoyed these; the noodles had a pleasantly springy texture, and tasted of sweet shrimp broth. The pork rind clinging to each strand was a nice reminder that one cannot escape from pork at Mama Meena's.
Sizzling sisig still stole the show as my favorite dish, and I was happy to find that the melon was extremely generous in its inclusion of freshly shredded cantaloupe. The drink itself was a bit too sweet, but I bet you could make a request to lower the sugar proportion a bit should you order.

A ketone test checks for ketones in your blood or urine. Ketones are substances that are made when the body breaks down fat for energy. Normally, your body gets the energy it needs from glucose (sugar). If your body cannot use glucose for energy—for example, if your body doesn't make or use insulin—ketones are formed. You might also have ketones if you are not eating enough carbohydrates and your body uses fat for energy instead. Your body wants to get rid of ketones through urine.
Ketones are most common in people who have type 1 diabetes. It is an early sign that there is not enough insulin, and blood sugar may be dangerously high. This can lead to diabetic ketoacidosis, a very serious medical problem.
Blood ketones can be tested using some blood sugar meters. You can test your urine for ketones by using specially prepared tablets or plastic strips.

Gallery: SOLAR DECATHLON 2009: Team Ontario/BC's North House For Cold C...
We've been bringing you breaking coverage of this week's Solar Decathlon in Washington DC throughout the week and one of the most interesting homes to emerge from the competition is the North House, a super sleek, high-tech solar powered home designed to generate more energy than it consumes – an especially impressive feat granted that the home was designed for the extreme climate of Northern Canada. Currently in 4th place at the Decathlon, Team Ontario/BC is exhibiting an incredibly impressive showing. With two days left of the competition, they still have a good chance to eek out some more points in the categories of Engineering, Lighting and the biggie, Net Metering, which could still put them in the lead.
Most of the competing teams at this year's Solar Decathlon hail from more moderate climates, so Team Ontario/BC should garner considerable respect considering the climes they've designed for. Taking the cold weather into account, the North House has paid particular attention to tight insulation and a high-performance glazing system, which wraps the house and manages passive heating and cooling of the building by providing different configurations – from full shading to full sun.
The high-tech North House was built right next to the low-budget ZEROW House from Rice University that we covered last week, and the two designs couldn't have been more contrasting. While the ZEROW house utilized passive design techniques and was designed to be as affordable as possible, the North House spared no expense in the high-tech automated systems for the home. As you can see in our photos, the entire exterior is clad in the most state-of-the-art 'building-integrated-photovoltaic' (BIPV) tiles.
The interior furniture and finishing also feature a lot of interesting high-tech design choices, such as a space-saving bed that automatically lowers from the ceiling at night, and folds back up into the ceiling during the day to maximize the living room space.
The North house was designed to use customizable and interchangeable components, which will aid in the fabrication of the prefab home when it comes to market. They have also worked hard on their layered approach to envelope construction, designing, what they call, DReSS (Distributed Responsive System of Skins). DReSS consists of an inner layer of 'thin' skin information systems, responsive to touch; a middle layer that is a highly insulated glazing system that can maximize solar gain combined with a shading system for privacy; and finally an outer layer of thin-film photovoltaics.
Jill and Rebecca visit the North House
The team designed the North House to offer "an attractive high performance home that sets a new standard for solar design in Canada's northern climate." The North House took 1st place in the category of Comfort Zone and 2nd place in Communications, which, combined with their other scores, means they not too far behind Team Illinois, Team Germany and current leader Team California. Keep it tuned to Inhabitat as we follow their progress this week and see who take the ultimate prize of the 2009 Solar Decathlon.

could i come to visit you in Waterloo. I would like to see the structure. I was in washington when you were displaying it but you were closed.

I beleive that what sebastien meant to say is that the windows were a net gainer.. not as insualting as a wall.
October 22, 2009 at 11:28 pm
Hi, I was part of the engineering team on the north house. The windows are as insulating as a regular wall. They are quad panes.
As for the comment about the roof, this particular house will be located in souther Ontario, and the roof, and PV panels will be able to take the load. This house is a concept, and could be slightly modified for different locations. For example, if we wanted to place this house in a more snowy location, the PV racking system would need some kind of slope.
October 17, 2009 at 11:47 pm
I am part of the team that built this house. I wasn't one of the architects, but I can answer some of your questions. You're right, the glass windows are very high insulation value. I have the stats on the insulation values at the end of this post. They are 2 sheets of glass sandwiching mylar films.
As the article stated, the glass is used to heat the area. We pull in free heating by letting the sun shine through the windows.
Through simulations we've found the interior glass temp. to be approx. 18 C (64.5 F). The North Wall is also highly insulated. The glass and shades work together to provide free heating throughout the winter, this system is more effective than having an opaque insulated wall.
The floor has a phase change material to buffer the heat inside.
Yes, it is a bit higher end then zerow house is, but that was our target.
Window: R-8 (RSI 1.4) with frame
Glazing: Solar Heat Gain Coefficient: 0.4
R- 12.5 (RSI- 2.2) U= 0.454 W/m2 K
Roof: R- 80 Nominal (RSI-14.2) R-73 Actual (RSI-12.9)
Floor: R- 51 Nominal (RSI- 6.3) R-36 Actual (RSI-6.3)
Wall: R-64 Nominal (RSI-11.3) R-47 Actual (RSI-8.2)

"the North House has paid particular attention to tight insulation"
Where? Most of the facade is glass! This was designed for a Northern Climate? I'd like to see the numbers on this one. Either they are WAY off base or they are using some cutting edge (and ridiculously expensive) materials. They are counting on their PV siding to make up for all the heat loss through their curtain walls. That my friends is not "passive" design. That is the definition of active design. They wanted the modern look and climate be damned, we'll just throw money at it until our numbers look right. Wrong. I'm sure they put a lot of effort into this but without looking at the data I'd say that they are over looking something. Either this isn't affordable and marketable or its an icebox.
October 14, 2009 at 9:42 pm
Now maybe I'm just speaking through ignorance, but how would a flat roof handle a snow load associated with such a cold climate?

This effect is frequently discussed in the context of solar time series. In particular, it a relationship between soft x-ray (thermal emission) and hard x-ray (nonthermal emission) from the Sun.
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Astronomy Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for astronomers and astrophysicists. It's 100% free, no registration required.
The Neupert Effect describes the commonly observed phenomenon that hard X-rays occur predominantly during the rise phase of soft X-rays during a solar flare, as illustrated by the graph below:
In the graph, the first peak is that of the hard X-rays, which you can see occurs during the rise of the other line which represents the soft X-rays.
Following the previous answer stating that the HXR emission occurs during rise phase of the flare as evidenced by the full-Sun SXR flux observed i.e. by GOES in 1-8 Angstrom, I would add that the HXR maximum is typically observed during the strongest increase of the SXR flux, i.e., during d(flux_SXR)/dt = max.

Hoefl Riesch wins Slalom in Are
Maria Hoefl-Riesch came from third to win the last regular season Slalom in Are, Sweden. A devastatingly smooth middle section of the second run gave Hoefl-Riesch the impetus to home of for the win ahead of Veronika Zuzulova and Marie-Michele Gagnon on the podium. Zuzulova had been leading after the first run but a number of small errors saw her lead ebb away on the second run and lost out by just one hundredth of a second. This was Hoefl-Riesch's twenty third World Cup win and eighth in Slalom but the first for fourteen months.
"I was so lucky with the hundredth. I feel so sorry for Veronika – she never had a win before – and she's such a great skier," Hoefl-Riesch said after the race. "It's bad luck for her but good luck for me." Hoefl-Riesch had been hoping to win at least one slalom this season she had admitted before the race started and so was both relieved and happy with the win.
With the weather indecisive with wind and storms mixing it with the sun, Hoefl-Riesch managed to her composure and make the finish without the problems that saw Lindsey Vonn crash out on the second run.
Anna Swenn-Larsson, one of the rising young stars on the HEAD World Cup Rebels technical team, put in a personal best in the Slalom World Cup with ninth equal place, just under four tenths behind the race winner. Anne-Sophie Barthet took a three way share of 17th to join Maria Hoefl-Riesch, Lindsey Vonn, Anna Swenn-Larsson and Sarka Zahrobska in going to the World Cup Finals next week in Slalom.

A Queer (Mis)understanding of Personal Finance
Note: This is the first of a two-part series. Next month, Edge Editor-in-Chief Steve Weinstein will examine some of the lessons imparted by the authors of the new book "Same Sex Legal Kit for Dummies, by Carrie Stone and John Culhane."
You know someone like this. You probably know several people like this. In fact, it's entirely likely that you are someone like this: the gay man or lesbian who drinks only in bars and insists on top-shelf booze, would never let artificial fibers touch skin, vacations in exotic destinations or on party cruises, never cooks at home (and wouldn't know how anyway), just has to see the latest hit musical or buy the complete DVD set of a favorite TV show. Yet, every month, this person scrambles to pay bills, and come April goes into absolute panic about how to pay taxes.
Many LGBT Americans follow the old Greek maxim, "Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die." There are plenty of reasons for this. Until the mid-90s, gay men felt they faced a death sentence if they contracted HIV. Though many of us have become parents, many more of us have no dependents to put through college. Without families of our own, we may be cavalier about what happens to our assets when we die. Our urban gayborhoods may be fun places to live, but they can also be expensive, competitive and judgmental. We pride ourselves on our taste for the finer things in life -and disdain for those who lack our good taste. We may be estranged from our families or not particularly enamored of them.
Through discussions with financial planners and other research, I have come up with the 10 ways we mismanage money.
We don't save for a rainy day.
Remember the grasshopper in the Aesop fable, who fiddled all summer while the industrious ant put away bits of food? Like sunny days, rainy days will happen. Anyone not prepared will find that rain wreaks havoc on credit cards, credit ratings, and family members and anyone else who can be hit up for an emergency "loan."
We don't buy life insurance.
Parents have to think about what will happen to their children. But just because we may be parentless doesn't mean that there aren't people in our lives who don't depend on us in some way. It could be an ailing parent or other relative, or a friend. All of us have our pet charity or other nonprofit organization that could receive needed funds as the beneficiaries of life insurance. And HIV is no longer an excuse: Thanks to improved meds, some companies offer policies to people infected with HIV.
We don't do estate planning.
In the absence of normal protections, it's vital that gay couples give special attention to detailed estate planning. Don't think that a notarized will necessarily keeps hostile relatives from coming after what you have bequeathed to your partner or spouse. Thanks to the Defense of Marriage Act and in tons of other ways, we are heavily penalized compared with straight couples, which means more attention must be paid.
We don't do pre-nups.
Too many of us have pie-in-the-sky romantic notions that this one is forever. Gee, I hope so. But some of the first gay nuptials have already ended in divorce. Half of all marriages end in divorce, and there's no reason to believe that - even though we as a community are fighting so hard for the right to get hitched - we're any different. One sticking point is a disparity of income: Sometimes it's hard for gay couples to acknowledge that one partner makes significantly more than the other. If you buy property or any other big-ticket item together, it's especially important to detail exactly who gets it in case of a breakup, and how much the other must pay to keep it.
We don't buy enough health or disability insurance.
The obvious response is, who does these days? But that doesn't mean you can risk not being covered in case of a serious illness or accident. That many of us can now get coverage through our spouse certainly has changed the landscape (while keeping in mind that that coverage is taxed). Many gay people tend to be self-employed, which means difficulty finding coverage at a reasonable rate - or any rate - and finding the money to pay for it.

Haemophilus influenzae
type B, or Hib, is a bacteria that can cause infections. It usually occurs in children under five years old. Hib can lead to:
People can carry Hib bacteria and not know it. These germs can spread from person to person. They usually spread through droplets from an infected person. Sickness will probably not occur when the germs stay in the nose and throat. They can cause serious problems when they spread into the lungs or the bloodstream.
Before the vaccine, severe Hib disease affected about 20,000 United States children under age five.
Symptoms include:
The Hib vaccine is made from inactive parts of the bacteria. It is injected into the muscle.
In general, children should get doses at:
In some cases, your child may only need three doses. This depends on which brand the doctor uses.
If a dose is missed, talk to the doctor. There are different catch-up schedules depending on the brand and your child's age.
This vaccine is not routinely recommended for children aged five years. However, it may be given if your child was not vaccinated before and your child has certain conditions, such as:
Like any vaccine, the Hib vaccine can cause serious problems, such as a severe allergic reaction. Most people do not have any problems. Some people have redness, warmth, or swelling near the injection site, as well as a fever.
Acetaminophen is sometimes given to reduce pain and fever that may occur after getting a vaccine. In infants, the medication may weaken the vaccine. Discuss the risks and benefits of taking acetaminophen with the doctor.
The following people should not get the vaccine:
Antibiotics may be given to certain infants and young children who have not been vaccinated and have been exposed to the disease.
In the event of an outbreak, public health officials will determine who is at risk and vaccinate people.

As part of Governor Haslam's Jobs4TN economic development plan, TNECD fundamentally restructured its field staff to establish a "jobs base camp" in each of the nine regions across the state. TNECD also selected regional directors to run each base camp. The nine regional directors reside in each of the regions and serve as the primary point-of-contact for Tennessee companies seeking state assistance with expansion or with accessing state services.
A key function of the nine jobs base camps is to reach out to rural counties to incorporate them into broader regional economic development strategies that leverage existing resources and maximize the assets of rural communities. Each base camp worked with local partners to develop and/or revise a regional economic development plan and align existing federal and state resources around that plan.
Mr. Borden is from Maryville in Blount County, Tennessee. He earned his bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of Tennessee and began his career in economic development with the Greater Knoxville Chamber of Commerce.
Mr. Borden has held additional economic development positions including Executive Vice-President of the Blount County Chamber of Commerce, Blount County Industrial Board and Smoky Mountains Visitors Bureau. He was appointed by then-Mayor Victor Ashe as Director of Economic Development for the City of Knoxville.
Mr. Borden later moved into the private sector where he has held executive positions in the staffing industry, banking industry, call center/outsourcing business, and commercial real estate & development. Mr. Borden has now come "full circle" and is excited to be back involved in what he calls "direct" economic development. Borden resides in Nashville, Tennessee.
