Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

I received these leggings as a gift from my boyfriend and they are the best piece of running gear I've ever had! They are breathable and comfortable. They keep my legs warm when running in the cold but I do not overheat.
I also wear them as a base layer when I'm hunting under pants. They help wick away moisture but keep me warm at the same time.
I am 5'7 5'8ish and weigh 125-130 lbs. I have an athletic body type with runners legs. The size small leggings fit me perfectly!!! I have recommended these leggings to all the runners I know.

got these to go to Yellowstone and go snowmobiling. as it turned out we were there for a record breaking storm and snowfall, and we were actually OUT on the snowmobile during that. but, I continued to be plenty warm and toasty. as opposed to my other female companion who ended up in FOUR sweaters the next day and still wasn't warm enuf! I am sure my own comfort was due to the Under Armour I was wearing! I not only WOULD recommend these to others, I already HAVE!

Kathie Alyce
Kathie Alyce is an award-winning contemporary quiltmaker who has been working with fabric for as long as she can remember. Her earliest memories of handwork go back to around the age of seven or eight when she began doing embroidery work. She continued to create all her life, moving from stitchery to drawing and art classes in her youth. She went on to learn all the traditional craft and sewing arts including dressmaking, knitting, weaving, and dyeing, along with working in charcoals and pastels. In 1985, she moved on to traditional quilting. With that as her launching pad, she went on to create her own work with a bold, contemporary use of fabric and color.
Kathie found herself in fabric. It was the perfect combination of her history in crafts and the opportunity to express her emotions in art. Modern day quilting offered the chance to create and be artistic with fabric once the basics of construction were learned.
Now you can find her teaching, lecturing, designing curved templates, and publishing patterns. In addition, Kathie is featured online at www.quilterstv.com in two video segments, FFB Template Quilts and More with Kathie Alyces Templates.
You can learn more about Kathie on her website, www.waterfallquilts.com or contact her directly at firstname.lastname@example.com to purchase the FFB template.

Interpretive Handbook
86219 :
Leishmaniasis (Visceral) Antibody, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Visceral leishmaniasis (kala azar) is a disseminated intracellular protozoal infection that targets primarily the reticuloendothelial system (liver, spleen, bone marrow) and is caused by Leishmania donovani, Leishmania chagasi, or Leishmania infantum (Leishmania donovani complex).
Transmission is by the bite of sandflies. Clinical symptoms include fever, weight loss, and splenomegaly; pancytopenia and hypergammaglobulinemia are often present. Most (90%) new cases each year arise in rural areas of India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sudan, and Brazil but the disease has a worldwide distribution, including the Middle East.
Definitive diagnosis has required the microscopic documentation of characteristic intracellular amastigotes in stained smears from culture of aspirates of tissue (spleen, lymph node) or bone marrow. The detection of serum antibodies to the recombinant K39 antigen of Leishmania donovani is an alternative non invasive sensitive (95%-100%) method for the diagnosis of active, visceral leishmaniasis.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosis of active visceral leishmaniasis
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
A positive result is consistent with a diagnosis of active visceral leishmaniasis.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This test indicates only the presence of antibodies and should not be used as the sole criteria for diagnosis.
False-positive results may occur in patients with malaria or in the presence of rheumatoid factor.
Specimens containing glycerol or other viscous materials may interfere with the test.
Patients co-infected with HIV and Leishmania may fail to produce antibodies.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Clinical References Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Kosher Poultry
|Roast Turkey and Stuffing
There are thousands of ways to roast a turkey. Here is one of our favorites. We make this year round, because it is flavorful, moist and simple. The recipe was adapted from The Second Avenue Deli Cookbook: Recipes and Memories from Abe Lebewohl's Legendary Kitchen.
For Stuffing
For Stuffing
Saute all vegetables in oil
Place any extra stuffing in a deep baking dish, rather than a shallow one to maintain moisture. and bake alongside the turkey for about 60 minutes. To ensure that any bacteria are killed, the stuffing must be cooked until a thermometer inserted into the middle reads 165°F.
Stuffing can be cooked separately and served alongside turkey. For safety reasons, this is our preference. Instead of using water to moisten the turkey, we often use Vegetable or chicken broth.
Serves 8-10

If you don't have an instant read thermometer, this may be the time to consider one. We use ours year round on meats and poultry. See instant-read Thermapens here.

Wreck-It Ralph (2012)
Wreck-It Ralph SynopsisFrom Walt Disney Animation Studios and Emmy®-winning director Rich Moore comes Wreck-It Ralph, a hilarious, arcade-game-hopping adventure. For decades, Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly) has been overshadowed by Fix-It Felix, Jr. (voice of Jack McBrayer), the good-guy star of their game who always gets to save the day. Tired of playing the role of a bad guy, Ralph takes matters into his own massive hands and sets off on a journey across the arcade through multiple generations of video games to prove hes got what it takes to be a hero.
On his quest, Ralph meets tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun (voice of Jane Lynch) from the first-person action game Heros Duty, and feisty misfit Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Sarah Silverman) from the candy-coated cart racing game, Sugar Rush, who may just be his first real friend. But everything changes when a deadly enemy is unleashed, threatening the entire arcade and Vanellope herself. Ralph finally gets his chance to save the daybut can he do it in time?

The idea is to make the LED blinking sequence reprogrammable. This reprogramming can be done with light and shadow, e.g. you could use your flashlight.
This is my first instructable, any comments or corrections are welcome.
Update 12/08/2008: There is now a kit available at the Tinker Store.
Here is a video of reprogramming it. Sorry for the quality.
Step 1: How it works
The controller has two modes of operation, one for recording a sequence, the other for playing back the recorded sequence.
Once the controller notices two changes of brightness within half of a second, (dark, bright, dark or the other way round), it switches to recording mode. In recodring mode the input of the LDR is measured multiple times a second and stored on the chip. If the memory is exhausted, the controller switches back to playback mode and starts to play the recorded sequence.
As the memory of this tiny controller is very limited, 64 bytes (yes, bytes!), the controller is able to record 400 bits. That is space enough for 10 seconds with 40 samples per second.
This instructable is immortal, thank you so much for sharing this.
Simple but nice.
Keep up the good 'ibles. :)
Also i think i may copy your method of "Ubersimple-3V-supply". Simply mindblowing ;)
Which am i supposed to program?
What is the other one for?
Good luck! and please reply back with any more questions.
Great ideas !
The freestyle assembly and minimal parts make it a less is more thing.
Thinking it might be interesting to maybe use a few more parts to make it look like a man or robot or something.
Your tutorial is very simple im sure, but is there a chance you could point me to a ultra nubby circuit programing tutorial?
Any help would be good as ive never tackled this before.
I answered exactly this question (scroll down a bit to see it).
and i AM HOPE TO BE FUN WITH GOOD HEALTH.
for this type (attiny13 is an AVR chip) u can use the ghetto programmer described by the real elliot (just search it here) that works with the serial (printer) port of ur PC
or make/buy a USBtiny from www.ladyada.net that's a bit more expensive, but it works with ur USB port and doesnt need a power source.
hope it helped, if u have questions about the ghetto programmer, just PM me.
Your tutorial is very simple im sure, but is there a chance you could point me to a ultra nubby circuit programing tutorial?
Any help would be good as ive never tackled this before.
take a look at http://www.avrfreaks.net
They have nice tutorials.
Or, another good starting point, especially for software developers, is the Arduino project. Really easy to get started.
The recorded sequence is stored in RAM, so it would be lost if the battery goes dead. But you could store the sequence in EEPROM.
looking at your nick, I assume you are living in a german speaking country?
For cheap ATtiny, have a look at: http://www.csd-electronics.de/de/index.htm
They have breadboards and other components as well. For a programmer, check out the USBtinyISP from adafruits.

Tell ya what best rookie qb in the draft ive seen i think is that kid in seattle wallace he looks like a very player after watching the pats lose last night
Tell ya what best rookie qb in the draft ive seen i think is that kid in seattle wallace he looks like a very player after watching the pats lose last night
That must've been the only game of his you've watched.
Wilson looked very good yesterday, but I watched two other full Seahawks games (and a good chunk of the other games) and quite frankly he was really struggling in the other games. There was even talk that he might be benched for Matt Flynn prior to Sunday.
All of the rookie QBs have had their ups and downs so far. Griffin's definitely been the best so far, but I don't think he can sustain it. Too many screens, too many runs where he takes a big shot. Mike Shanahan looks like a genius now, but I think he is going to ruin his young QB.
So far it's RG3 but our guy is making a case for himself that he not lagging far behind and with likely a more promising upside based on durability and style.. He's beaten 2 winning teams going into the games in the last 2 weeks and has looked surgical doing it.
Peyton Manning 2.0
I have only seen our guy once. Ive seen RG once. I dont think its right what Shannahan is doing to that kid. He's not developing him, he's riding him to save his job. He's gonna get him hurt again.Elway was already established, so all he had to do was get outta his way. RG he's just gonna run into the ground. In my opinion Shannahan should be fired, for needlessly risking this kids future to save his ass. Thats some Sparano type ****.

Travel light
November 04, 2012, 03:50:13 PM »
As most people I dream of having a setup as light as possible while still allowing me to take great photos. I guess the definition of great is relative but the general principle shouldnt be. So I used my recent trip to Miami, an area that I knew well and already photographed with more serious tools, to try a very compact set: Sony RX-100, Sony HX30V and Sirui T-025X carbon fiber tripod.
While Im not a Sony fanboy, on the contrary, Ive been impressed with the RX100. The idea was to use the RX100 for my quality shots and for darker times and use the compact for when I need to extra reach and for unpretentious shots. I didnt follow this to the letter but overall I wasnt that far.
Everybody talks about the RX100 so Ill quickly go over HX30V as a travel camera.
What I knew before I chose it. Looking through the reviews the main competition was the Canon SX260. The picture quality seemed better on the Canon with more details despite fewer pixels however the movies were not that good (and I wanted a versatile compact) and more important the focus seemed not to be that great particularly when the light gets lower. I already saw the huge difference between RX100 and the Canon S100 in regards to focus speed and shutter lag so that was worth the extra money (a good amount) and the fact that I already had extra batteries from my defunct S90 which worked with the SX260.
The good things:
So the HX30V is a really fast camera, very similar to RX100. Much faster than my Canon S100. Its probably one of the few compact cameras that can be used for kids. The long zoom is intoxicating. Colors are nice. Movies are good. Stabilization works well. Has some fun and versatile picture modes: HDR, panorama and they work fairly well.
The so-so: not much manual control. You can get away partially by playing with the scenes and the modes. Its not that bad considering its a P&S after all.
The bad: picture quality at pixel level. Its bad bad. Even at low iso. Forget about fine details, you will not have them. Now if you dont print large (more than 8x10 or so) or want to crop (you should use the zoom for that anyway) probably its not that a big issue. The noise control is way too aggressive and if you want to like your photos dont enlarge them at 100%. I found myself adding grain in LR and while it might look less sharp it takes care of some of the artifacts and makes it look a little like film. The camera also blows some highlights very easily. And I couldnt get the damn wireless transfer to the phone to work (with Android, didnt try with Apple).
Could I use it as my only camera? Maybe only if I can stop pixel peeping, but realistically no. However, if all you want is snapshots with people (including kids) and places it should work very well. It has 25-500 mm equivalent focal length after all.
How does it compare with the RX100? Even if the RX100 is not the sharpest at the maximum zoom, the pixel level quality is much better so probably you can get as good or better results up to 300 mm or so on the HX30V. Beyond that though the quality that you will get with the HX30V, particularly at lower iso, will be better.
Sirui: not much to say, very light, very nice head, didnt use in a very demanding mode. I did post a pano with Miami in User critique and it looks quite good at pixel level although it was windy. I extended only a segment though.
Few shots that I took with the HX30V that I couldnt have taken with the RX100.

Nice report. I like the flamingo and the water lilies photos.
Can you please elaborate a little on the tripod? I've been looking for something really small and light for this sort of non-work travel where I'd like to have a tripod for night photos, but can't justify even my smallest 'pod. I'd seen this Sirui on Amazon and wondered about it. It looks like the center column is always extended, right? Does this drive you crazy? Is there a hook for a camera bag to add some weight? Does the ball head accept the RRS/Arca Swiss plates? Can it fit inside a shoulder bag when folded?
I'd be using it with a GH2 and various lenses.
Thanks in advance!

Keep in mind I only used it once with the RX100 so not much challenge there.
The center column always stays extended and I guess it is a potential problem if it's very windy and the tripod is more extended. Come to think of, if the exposure is not very long and it's very windy you might get away with not disabling the lens/camera stabilization.
There is a hook for extra weight. It does accept the Arca Swiss plates (it comes with one already) and the head seems very nice for its size. I don't know why but I have to open the clamp more compared to my Markins in order to easily remove the plate, you can say it's safer this way?! I have an average Kata rucksack and it fits perfectly in the bottom compartment, it is quite small.

I'll try posting some pictures later with a Nikon D90 mounted and next to it to get a better feeling of the size.

Here are some quick pictures comparing the Sirui with a Nikon D90 with 16-85VR and hood attached. It's the first time when I try it with my DSLR and probably if it's very windy and you need long exposures you will have problems. For shorter exposures/ focal lengths and taking care to maximize its stability if it's not too windy it should do ok.

text: Dolphin Stories Sunday, November 15, 2009 Exploring Time & Space Through World Literature 3:49 PM :: 3634 Views Worshipers in Ajmer wait to enter the shrine of Muin-ud-din Chishti, an important Muslim pilgrimage site. From the study of Bhakti (saintly, devotional literature) to an analysis of Buddhist, Hindu, and Islamic art, a four-week seminar in India has enriched Assistant Professor of English Jim Hannan's work at Le Moyne College immeasurably. A scholar in world literature, Hannan spent two weeks of additional travel after the seminar, gathering insights into the symbolism of place, time, and pilgrimage as they shape centuries of Indian literature. Hannan notes that numerous writers have been profoundly affected by their visits to this sprawling, incredibly complex nation, home to 1.15 billion persons. Tales from his studies and travels provide an extraordinary glimpse into intellectual and international connections taking place at Le Moyne. Women in Jaipur welcome the monsoon season during a Teej procession In and around Delhi, Hannan witnessed processions of kanwarias, Siva worshippers who carry water from the Ganges to their homes, walking distances of up to 150 miles. In Ajmer he joined worshippers waiting to enter the shrine of the Sufi saint Muin-ud-din Chishti. "In addition to witnessing religious life," Hannan says, "I also recognized Bollywood film songs playing from car radios and watched women in Jaipur participating in Teej, a festival that welcomes the monsoon season. My courses on Rushdie and other Indian authors will benefit from the diversity of experiences I had in India." Hannan had participated in a Le Moyne College faculty trip to South Africa in 2007, organized by Dr. Barron Boyd and funded through a federal grant to globalize the curriculum. That experience powerfully affects his course on author Nadine Gordimer, and it also motivated him to apply to one of the prestigious summer institutes run by the National Endowment for the Humanities. He was one of only 24 faculty members in the nation accepted into the program: "Bharata Darshan: Past and Present in India." The group visited sites in Shimla, New Delhi, and Agra, learning from prominent Indian scholars, activists, and other speakers who presented work on art, religion, literature, architecture, and history. Topics ranged from the Vedic and ancient India periods (600 b.c.e.) through colonialism and independence in 1947. While the program took place in July-August of 2008, Le Moyne students will begin to feel its impact in Spring 2010, when they read Salman Rushdie's works in Hannan's Major Authors course.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls
The University of Wisconsin-River Falls continues to reaffirm its commitment to the principle of equality of opportunity in employment and in education. In its most elementary form, adherence to the concept of equality of opportunity requires that we strive toward a condition in which considerations of race, religion, color, gender, disability, national origin, age, or ancestry are not determinants of the access an individual has to opportunities for education, for employment, and for achievement. Rather, the controlling factors in all such matters must be individual ability, interest, and merit.
Our present and future course, which goes beyond non-discrimination, i.e., the elimination of all policies and practices that work to the disadvantage of individuals on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender identity or expression, age, national origin, ancestry, disability, marital status, pregnancy, arrest or conviction record, political affiliation, veteran status, ancestry, membership in the National Guard, state defense force or any other reserve component of the military forces of the United States or this state, is based on the concept of equal opportunity and the appropriate use of affirmative action policies and programs as one tool to achieve these goals. The principle of equal employment requires the University to determine if it has met its responsibility to recruit, employ, promote, and reward groups of persons formerly excluded from full consideration in employment and education (women, persons of color, and the disabled) to a degree consistent with their availability and merit, and whether or not any failure to do so can be traced to specific discriminatory policies or actions. Where these groups of people are underrepresented, the University will make a good faith effort to recruit and employ them insofar as they are available. The premise of this commitment is that the corrosive effects of systematic exclusion, inattention, and discrimination cannot be remedied in appropriate ways and in a reasonable time by a posture of neutrality with respect to all individuals. The goal is to achieve equal employment opportunity and a representative workforce through specific and result-oriented programs and by exercising every good faith effort to achieve that goal.
While the University is obligated to develop and sustain a program of equal opportunity, we undertake these actions and these policies not only because we are required to, but also because it is right and proper that we do so.

Tables overflowing with colorful bows, poinsettias, candy canes, cinnamon sticks and other holiday paraphernalia filled the WISE Senior Center last week, as seniors gathered to decorate wreaths. Weiss Memorial Hospital donated finished wreathes to local businesses to help deck storefronts for the holiday season.
Holiday wreaths from WISE Senior Center members will be
decorating neighboring businesses this season.
William Thomas, a volunteer and Senior Center regular, assisted people as they chose their decorations. "This gives seniors something to do and gives the community a seasonal touch," Thomas said. He attributed the inspiration to Senior Services Coordinator Abby Lochotzki, who coordinates various giving programs throughout the year.
A former illustrator, Thomas volunteered to help with the wreaths because of everything the Senior Center has done for him. "You're always around people who are happy to see you and who you're happy to see," he said.
Another Senior Center regular, Bonnie Lee Wilson, wrapped wire around a pinecone and attached it to her wreath. She ha
d heard about the event at the Senior Support Group meeting the week prior, and because she missed last year's wreath decorating, she was determined to make it to this year's.
"It's something the community needs," Wilson said, adding that she was happy to take charge in adding cheer to the neighborhood. "If nobody else is going to supply it, we've got to."
She turned the wreath in her hands, testing berries and ribbon in various spots. "I don't have a technique (for decorating)," she said. "I look for balance so everything seems intentional and not like it just fell on the wreath."
By the end of the afternoon, more than 30 visitors, volunteers and employees had decorated 50 wreaths. The finished wreaths lined the hallway outside the Senior Center, filling the air with smells of cinnamon and pine—ready to spread the holiday spirit from the people who decorated them to the rest of the neighborhood.

The information provided here is meant to give you a general idea about each of the medications listed below. Only the most general side effects are included. Ask your doctor if you need to take any special precautions. Use each of these medications only as recommended by your doctor, and according to the instructions provided. If you have further questions about usage or side effects, contact your doctor.
There are no medications to cure Alzheimers disease, but certain medications are commonly prescribed to manage the symptoms. Other medications are under investigation in clinical trials.
- Cholinesterase inhibitors
- Glutamate blockers
- Antidepressants
- Anxiolytics
- Antipsychotics
- Antioxidants (Vitamin E)
Prescription Medications
Cholinesterase inhibitors most commonly prescribed for Alzheimers disease include:
- Donepezil (Aricept)
- Rivastigmine (Exelon)
- Galantamine (Reminyl)
Cholinesterase inhibitors help enhance memory and other cognitive functions. This type of medication slows the breakdown of a chemical that helps cells communicate with one another. The longer this chemical exists the better the communication between brain cells. This may help to slow disease progression somewhat in people with mild-to-moderate Alzheimers disease.
Depending on which cholinesterase inhibitor you take, possible side effects include:
- Nausea, vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Stomach pain or cramping
- Slowing of heart rate
- Fainting spells
- Headache
- Loss of appetite
- Increased frequency of bowel movements
- Liver problems (especially with tacrine)
- Rashes
- Dizziness
- Nasal discharge
- Facial flushing
Memantine (Namenda) is a newer type of medicine. It blocks the effects of a chemical that is believed to be toxic to nerve cells. Memantine is the first drug approved for treatment of moderate-to-severe Alzheimers disease. Improvements in daily functioning and cognition (thinking) have been seen. Memantine should not be used if you have severe kidney impairment.
Possible side effects of memantine include:
- Headache
- Confusion
- Nausea, vomiting
- Constipation
- Drowsiness
- Hallucinations
- Cough
- Diarrhea
At least 25% of people with Alzheimers disease have depression. Antidepressants are used to treat low mood, depression, anxiety , and irritability. The antidepressants prescribed for Alzheimers disease belong to a group of medications known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). SSRIs work by increasing the activity of the chemical serotonin in the brain.
SSRIs prescribed for Alzheimers disease include:
- Citalopram (Celexa)
- Fluoxetine (Prozac)
- Paroxetine (Paxil)
- Sertraline (Zoloft)
Possible side effects of SSRIs include:
- Drowsiness
- Dryness of mouth
- Blurred vision
- Nausea
- Dizziness
- Weight gain
- Difficulty sleeping
- Sexual dysfunction
- Risk of severe mood and behavior changes, including suicidal thoughts in some patients
Anti-anxiety medications (anxiolytics) help ease symptoms of anxiety, phobias, and excessive motor activity. The medications listed are in a class of medications called benzodiazepines. Benzodiazepines reduce symptoms of anxiety by enhancing the function of gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA). These drugs produce a sedative effect, decrease physical symptoms, such as muscle tension, and often cause drowsiness and lethargy. They can be habit-forming when used long term or in excess. These drugs should not be used more than prescribed since they may cause or worsen problems with memory. These drugs should also not be stopped abruptly since serious side effects, such as seizures, may result.
Benzodiazepines sometimes prescribed for Alzheimers disease include:
- Lorazepam (Ativan)
- Oxazepam (Serax)
Possible side effects of benzodiazepines include:
- Drowsiness
- Dizziness
- Confusion
- Weakness
- Difficulty walking
- Respiratory depression (decreasing breathing)
Antipsychotic medications are used for symptoms of agitation, hallucinations, delusions, bizarre behavior, and violent behavior. These drugs usually have a sedating effect on behavior and may not always be effective for patients with Alzheimers disease.
Antipsychotics sometimes prescribed for Alzheimers disease include:
- Olanzapine (Zyprexa)
- Risperidone (Risperdal)
- Quetiapine (Seroquel)
Possible side effects of olanzapine include:
- Agitation
- Behavior problems
- Difficulty in speaking or swallowing
- Restlessness or need to keep moving
- Stiffness of arms or legs
- Trembling or shaking of hands and fingers
Possible side effects of risperidone and quetiapine include:
- Tardive dyskinesia (fine, worm-like movements of the tongue, or other uncontrolled movements of the mouth, tongue, cheeks, jaw, shoulders, arms, or legs)
In some cases these side effects are not reversible.
The antioxidant vitamin E has been studied in combination with selegiline (Eldepryl), a medication used to treat Parkinson's disease , for possible protective effects against the progression of Alzheimers disease. Vitamin E is an antioxidant and may help prevent brain cell damage.
It is not clear that vitamin E provides any benefit. Further research is needed to conclusively determine the potential benefits of vitamin E in Alzheimers disease. Some doctors are recommending vitamin E as a potential preventive measure. However, since vitamin E can increase the risk of bleeding when taken with other medications, such as aspirin or warfarin (a blood thinning medicine), you should talk with your doctor before beginning it.
Special Considerations
If you are taking medications, follow these general guidelines:
- Take your medication as directed. Do not change the amount or the schedule.
- Do not stop taking them without talking to your doctor.
- Do not share them.
- Ask what results and side effects to expect. Report them to your doctor.
- Some drugs can be dangerous when mixed. Talk to a doctor or pharmacist if you are taking more than one drug. This includes over-the-counter medication and herb or dietary supplements.
- Plan ahead for refills so you don't run out.

Interpretive Handbook
34623 :
Transferrin, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Transferrin is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 79570 daltons. It consists of a polypeptide strand with 2 N-glycosidically linked oligosaccharide chains and exists in numerous isoforms. The rate of synthesis in the liver can be altered in accordance with the body's iron requirements and iron reserves. Transferrin is the iron transport protein in serum. In cases of iron deficiency, the degree of transferrin saturation appears to be an extremely sensitive indicator of functional iron depletion. The ferritin levels are depressed when there is a deficiency of storage iron. In sideropenia, an iron deficiency can be excluded if the serum transferrin concentration is low, as in inflammation or less commonly, in cases of ascorbic acid deficiency. In screening for hereditary hemochromatosis, transferrin saturation provides a better indication of the homozygous genotype than does ferritin. The treatment of anemia with erythropoietin in patients with renal failure is only effective when sufficient depot iron is present. The best monitoring procedure is to determine transferrin saturation during therapy. Transferrin saturation in conjunction with ferritin gives a conclusive prediction of the exclusion of iron overloading in patients with chronic liver disease.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Screening for chronic iron overload diseases, particularly hereditary hemochromatosis
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Serum iron, total iron binding capacity (TIBC), and percent saturation are useful only in screening for chronic iron overload diseases, particularly hereditary hemochromatosis. Although serum iron, TIBC, and percent saturation are widely used for the diagnosis of iron deficiency, serum ferritin is a much more sensitive and reliable means of demonstrating iron deficiency.
In hereditary hemochromatosis, serum iron is usually >150 mcg/dL and percent saturation exceeds 60%.
In advanced iron overload states, the percent saturation often exceeds 90%.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Measurement of serum iron, iron binding capacity, and percent saturation should not be used as the primary test for iron deficiency. It may be helpful in conjunction with ferritin and soluble transferrin receptor, especially in patients with inflammation.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
200-360 mg/dL

Busted weaves Articles
Chicken Fried skinny, dick, and court
Britney was photographed leaving the gym yesterday with Jason Trawick still brown and, according to the paps, looking "stick thin". I'm also worried about her hairline now. Wait, one sec. Just did a quick google. It seems it's been like this a while. She's never really had good hair, has she? There's been concern about her state of mind since the colour change and the hotel living, but she seems to have worked up a good sweat, trained hard, and this is one of the few good signs. Full Story
Chicken Fried bald patches and stains
I'm telling you, she scares me when she's a brunette. Her world isn't right when she's brunette. And the way she looked yesterday out and about in LA wasn't right at all. Especially since this is "pulled together" for her. In the sense that she's not out in her pyjamas which, as you know, happens from time to time. Full Story
Chicken Fried real hair?
Britney Spears went shopping yesterday looking a goddamn mess. Is this the real hair? If so, the real hair isn't much of an improvement on the fake hair. After years of abuse and over treatment, not to mention all the medication, that sh-t just grows out busted all by itself, with a mom flip at the ends. Full Story
It's not the first time a post has been so titled. And likely won't be the last. But seriously… What. The. F-CK??????????????????? Chicken Fried Low Classy went shopping yesterday on Robertson. I noted it during my Teen Choice tweets the other night – that I thought I saw a gel nail buried at the back of her head. Full Story

Bay window is a common term for a protruding window construction. Most of the time they are polygon shapes or square in design, but they also may curved. In its most basic form, a bay window consists of two protruding windows. A bay window can add depth and architectural elements to your home, and provide a wonderful opportunity to stretch your decorating muscles. A bay window can be a cozy place to sip your coffee, or it can provide a frame for a picturesque view.
The best part of the bay window is usually the view. Don't take away from this natural asset by overpowering your window with clutter. Consider the room you're window is in. If it is adjacent to a busy dining area or kitchen, it's probably best to minimize the decorations. However, if it bookends a grand library or formal dining room, color, texture and pattern would be the ideal enhancement.
If you have a bay window, you really must have a window seat. There isn't anything nicer then curling up with a good book in the afternoon sun. If your window did not come with a seat, put wall cabinets in under your window and top with bright cushions. If that will not work, place a comfy chair or some floor cushions next to it. Just be sure to give yourself the chance to linger comfortably and enjoy the view.
Another tip is to frame your window with color: add some potted and hanging plants and flowers that thrive in sunlight. They will enhance the view of your yard and bring some nature into the room if yours is a city view. There are also so many choices when it comes to window treatments for your bay window. A classic Roman shade or blind is versatile and will help avoid over-decorating the space. Shutters, either wooden or sleek metal, are perfect for creating a private, cozy nook.
Draperies and curtains will add bright color and texture to your window. If you want to extend the appearance of width use curtains or drapes to cover the walls framing the area. This technique will let in the sunlight while keeping the charm and color of curtains. Sheer curtains are also an option to keep your window private without blocking the light. Sheers will add texture to the room and can be dressed up with bright curtain panels or valances.
A bay window can even be a child's special place to dream and play. It's easy to find kid-themed decorations that can be anything from stars to dance to transportation or sports. Base your decorating theme on your child's interests. Don't worry if his interests change; most window cling decorations can be designed to be temporary and will not hurt window glass, walls or window seat if they need to be removed.
We'll look some more at this topic next time. In the meanwhile, start that template we discussed the other day and order your hardware so we can get started!

Gallery: Whale-Shaped Floating Garden Designed to Clean the World's Riv...
Vincent Callebaut, visionary behind the Lilypad and Dragonfly, has created a whale-shaped floating garden designed to drift through the world's rivers while purifying their waters. The Physalia is a self-sufficient ecosystem that generates all the power it needs from the sun and works to reduce water pollution through bio-filtration.
Callebaut's designs are certainly fantastical, but it's a treat to ponder them and hope that someday this type of utopian technology will actually exist. His newest vision is a floating environment filled with gardens and covered by both a green roof and thin-film solar panels. Hydro-turbines generate power from the moving water underneath the boat, thus, all of the boat's energy is generated from renewable sources.
The craft's exterior features a layer of TiO2, which reacts with ultraviolet rays to clean the water. Additional water is pumped through the garden systems, which biologically filter out contaminants and pollutants. Inside there are four distinct thematic gardens named, "Earth", "Wind", "Fire", and "Water", which represent the four elements.
Physalia was inspired by the "Physalia physalis" jellyfish, whose name translates roughly to "Water Bubble". This water bubble is meant to navigate the major rivers of Europe, Northern Africa and the Middle East, traveling along the Danube and Volga, between the Rhine and Guadalquivir, and through the Euphrate and the Tiger. Completely self-sufficient and incredible looking, the Physalias would turn heads wherever it floated.

phase 2???
April 6, 2010 at 6:38 am
I am glad that i googled "floating gardens " again.This concept gives verification to my conception that floats and feeds off sea water. This is more like a portugese man o war, maybe jellyfish. Solar bubbles distill the water,the crops are fed with seaweed and fish nutriens caught in the tentacles primarilay designed for floatation.Please have a look at the seacrete process of carbon fixation. A method of growing solid structures by absorbing calcium carbonate from the ocean.
Our fresh water supply is the sun in it's action.
OK these concepts have been with us for a long time so let's get the next phase active
March 5, 2010 at 9:25 am
I own a fish pond and bio-filtration through the growth of water hyacinths and lotus plants has been my solution to keeping the pond clean. It's amazing how nature takes its own course when left alone. A simple floating garden keep the water clean and clear without any human intervention.
This design is definitely a good vision and in fact has a good possibility of becoming a realistic project. God knows we need to come up with solutions to the ever increasing pollution in our rivers, ponds and lakes.
January 21, 2010 at 4:52 pm
Well, I have to agree with taroona and fish his land.
Yes, it's good that people are thinking about novel ways to do things, the simplest ways are nearly always the best. We westerners want to make simple things highly technological and fancy, more often than not just exacerbating the problems we have.
Let the designers put things on paper (or make 3D projections), then just take the good bits out and throw out the unnecessary glitz and overkill machinery.
I visited natural floating gardens on the Kashmir lakes where they grow vegetables. Practical floating gardens pre-date fancy technology.
January 14, 2010 at 4:53 pm
Let's get away from green gimmickry and actually design stuff. Anyone who has designed something like this before knows this specific concept is overbuilt, too costly, and based on some incorrect treatment assumptions.
When it's easier to design up some actuals, why are we circulating photos of lofty and unviable conceptual renderings, such as those drawn up by design school students?
January 14, 2010 at 4:01 pm
It feels just like a glorified high-tech solution. I recommend projects as suggested by gmoke: http://www.toddecological.com
Similar wetland projects have been inplemented in Adelaide in an attempt to conserve its water supply. As a smaller example, a mine near Emerald in Queensland grows tomatoes in floating gardens to reduce algae and then gives the fruit[?] away for free to locals.
January 11, 2010 at 11:41 pm
You should take a look at what John Todd has done with cleaning ponds, lakes, and canals using biological filtration
January 11, 2010 at 3:45 pm
Totally amazing!!!
January 11, 2010 at 10:53 am
I see this as a fantastic way to clean up rivers and we have one here in Wisconsin that could benifit from something like this.

Piece as expected
Really like this piece and it looks just like the picture once assembled. The only drawback is that it was quite difficult to put together.Read More
we totally like this bar cart
looks really nice, easy to assemble, perfect sizeRead More
Nice piece -- too many pieces
Just like everybody else said. The piece is very nice, but the assembly was maddening. It took me about 4 hours solo, and I ended up having to back track because the instructions weren't quite clear.Read More
Beautiful Bar Cart
I love this piece. It is sturdy and has great features. It looks fantastic. Be warned that it has many, many parts and is very complicated to assemble, even for my teenage son who has assembled all the Overstock and Ikea flat packed furniture in my new place. It took him over 2 hours even though flat packed assembly is intuitive for him. I think it was well wort worth the effort and he now agrees, though he has moved it to the center of the room a few times as a joke to make sure everyone appreciates his dedication at getting it together.Read More
love my kitchen bar cart
love this beautiful mobile cart, I set mine up as a wine and coffee bar. I set up my coffee maker with my K cup storage unit and filled the 12 wine slots with assorted wines and hung wine glasses from the racks that came with the unit. it looks beautiful and frees up space on my counter top.Read More
Great style and function.
Everything about this bar cart is what we wanted. Perfect size, look, and function. The only negative is assembly instructions are poorly written, (diagrams only, no written words). We had to take it apart twice before finally getting it right....and I assemble furniture all the time. Love that it is on wheels for easy rolling around the condo.Read More
Perfect cart for a little bar area!
I have this cart in an area near my kitchen and it's perfect for the space because it's not too deep. I also have a wine rack mounted on the wall where the cart is located and it makes a nice little bar area.Read More
Right size for the space
Length and Height just right for space. Love it in the home.Read More
Love it, get compliments all the time!
I love this bar cart! It has a ton of storage and looks really nice in our dining area. Every time someone new comes over we get compliments! We won't move it much, but it is nice to have it on wheels, just in case, and since we have it on carpet it won't move on its own. My boyfriend was able to assemble it rather quickly, however he is a carpenter so I'm not sure how much different it would be for the average person! If you are looking for a sleek cart with plenty of storage, I would highly recommend it.Read More
