Haemofiltration - Citrate anticoagulation
This document is only valid for the day on which it is accessed. Please read our disclaimer.
Patients on continuous modes of renal replacement therapy require anticoagulation to prevent clotting of blood in the extracorporeal circuit.
Adequate anticoagulation prolongs circuit life but how long the membrane remains effective is debatable. Changing the filter every 48 hours is about right.
Citrate anticoagulation prolongs circuit life and causes less bleeding when compared with heparin.
Citrate Anticoagulation
Citrate acts by chelating calcium ions that are essential in the clotting cascade. It also chelates other divalent cations including magnesium and aluminium.
A plasma citrate concentration of about 5-6 mmol/L is required in order to reduce ionised calcium concentration to less than 0.6 mmol/L, which is required for anticoagulation. Adding approximately 2-3 mmol of citrate per litre of blood flowing through the filter usually achieves this.
Most of the added citrate returns to the patient and is metabolised rapidly by the liver, though there is a continuously slightly elevated systemic plasma citrate level which chelates some calcium in the systemic circulation. This can lead to a low systemic ionised calcium level even with normal total calcium. Also some chelated calcium is filtered, and as the substitution fluid contains no calcium there is a net loss of approx 2-3 mmol/kg/day in the filtrate.
In order to avoid systemic ionised hypocalcaemia, a separate infusion of calcium is required at a rate of approx. 2mmol/kg/day for a blood flow of 5ml/kg/min, and this is adjusted to maintain systemic plasma ionised calcium level of approx. 0.9-1.2 mmol/L.
To achieve optimal anticoagulation within the circuit using a citrate based substitution solution there must be a balance between circuit blood flow and substitution fluid flow rate. This ratio between citrate dose and circuit blood flow remains reasonably fixed allowing the prediction of what citrate dose (substitution flow rate) is needed for a particular blood flow rate.
A separate magnesium infusion may be necessary.
Citrate is metabolised to bicarbonate (3 molecules per molecule of citrate), mostly in the liver. A metabolic alkalosis therefore develops in protocols which add citrate separately (even when some of the citrate is as citric acid, eg acid-citrate dextrose), and hypernatraemia if the citrate is added as trisodium citrate. This is minimised if sodium citrate is an integral component of the substitution fluid, the citrate acting as the base instead of bicarbonate.
This only happens if the liver is able to metabolise the citrate load.
NB: The circuit should be primed with 0.9% Saline
Relative Contraindications
Citrate anticoagulation may NOT be an option for:
- Patients with severe hepatic dysfunction.
- Patients with "Citrate lock", where citrate has accumulated during citrate anticoagulation.
These patients will need heparinisation as per the standard policy.
- Patients with coagulopathy (ACT >200 sec, or APTT > twice normal) MAY have neither heparin nor citrate, and bicarbonate-based substitution fluid is used.
Substitution Fluid
Made commercially in 5 Litre bags by Baxter/Edwards Life Sciences.
Be careful to distinguish between the 5 Litre bags containing
citrate and those that are lactate free. Composition cannot be
adjusted, except for the addition of Potassium Chloride or
Phosphate, or Sodium Phosphate if needed, as per
CVVH protocol. Potassium should be added to the substitution
fluid to maintain the serum potassium @ 4mmol/l. This can be
achieved by adding 15mmol of either KCl or
KH2PO4 to each 5 litre bag.
The composition is:
- Sodium 140 mmol/L
- Potassium 1 mmol/L
- Chloride 99 mmol/L
- Citrate 14 mmol/L (42 meq/L) Trisodium citrate dihydrate.
ALL the substitution fluid must be added Pre-Filter, never Post-Filter.
Performing CVVH
Step 1 - Flow rates
Maximum blood flow rate achievable will vary with catheter size.
Ranges for the different catheters are:
6.5F 20-60mls/min. Use for up to
8.5F 50-100mls/min. Use for 11-29kg
11F 90-200mls/min. Use for 30kg+
Aim for a blood flow rate of 4ml/kg/min with a minimum of 20ml/min.
Once blood flow rate established commence substitution flow rate @ 35ml/kg/hr after 15 minutes and begin filtrate removal @ desired rate.
For different flow rates see Table 1 below.
|Table 1. Initial blood flow rates and substitution fluid flow rates
|Initial Substitution flow rate
|35 ml/kg/hr
|48 ml/kg/hr
|Blood flow rate
|4 ml/kg/min
|5 ml/kg/min
|6 ml/kg/hr
|Approximate clearances of urea/creatinine
|40 ml/kg/hr
|50 ml/kg/hr
|Initial 10% CaGluconate infusion rate
|0.30 ml/kg/hr
|0.36 ml/kg/hr
|0.42 ml/kg/hr
Filtrate flow rate:
- Start at 35ml/kg/hr, i.e. the same rate as the substitution fluid.
- Once patient stable, increase filtrate rate to achieve desired fluid balance.
NB: Do not have less than 4 ml/kg/min blood flow and 35 ml/kg/hr substitution flow unless the blood flow is limited by access problems and can not be increased to this rate.In this case you need to decrease the substitution fluid rate to match the blood flow rate.
There is evidence from adult studies that show that 35ml/kg/hr filtration rate has a survival advantage over lower rates.
Fluid Removal:
Net fluid balance for the patient is the sum of ALL ingoing fluid minus ALL outgoing fluid.
Step 2 -Calcium Infusion
Plasma ionised calcium must be normalised prior to starting this treatment (>1.0 mmol/L).
Calcium Gluconate 10% contains 0.22mmol Calcium/ml.
Give a bolus if necessary (0.5 ml/kg 10% Calcium Gluconate over 30 min).
A separate infusion of 10% calcium gluconate (undiluted) is set up into a separate central venous catheter.
Initial infusion rate is at 0.36ml/kg/hr of 10% Calcium Gluconate for each 5 ml/kg/min of blood flow.
Step 3 -Magnesium Replacement
- Plasma magnesium must be normalised prior to starting this treatment (>0.7 mmol/L). Give a bolus if necessary (0.2 mmol/kg MgSO4 IV over 60 min).
- 50% magnesium sulphate (undiluted) 0.2 mmol/kg (0.1 ml/kg) should be given every 12 hours while citrate is running, into a separate central venous catheter (if a spare lumen is available) or into the venous return limb of the circuit Do not mix it with calcium.
- The plasma magnesium should be measured 12 hrly. If it falls to 0.7 mmol/L give an extra 0.2 mmol/kg of Magnesium Sulphate and decrease the interval between regular doses to 8 hours while citrate is running.
Step 4 - Monitoring and Adjusting the Circuit (Post-Filter) Ionised Calcium
- Plasma ionised calcium in the circuit must be measured to ensure effective anticoagulation.
- Take blood samples from the blue port in the return limb of the
circuit close to the blue end of the filter (post-filter).
Use a non-heparinised syringe. Analyse it in the blood gas machine to determine the base-line ionised calcium level. Take a blood sample after 15 min of treatment, then after one hour, and 12-hourly thereafter, to analyse the ionised calcium level. REPEAT this sampling regimen whenever changes are made to the calcium infusion rate or the substitution fluid rate.
- The circuit ionised calcium level should be between 0.25 and 0.50 mmol/L. Adjust the substitution flow rate (and thereby the citrate flow rate), Table 2 without adjusting the blood flow rate if the ionised calcium level is outside this range. NB: This will change the overall fluid balance and you will need to remove more or less fluid per hour if you want the net fluid balance to remain unchanged. Do not go below 35ml/kg/hr of substitution fluid unless limited by blood flow rate.
Sequential adjustments may be needed before stabilisation of the circuit ionised calcium.
|Table 2. Adjusting the citrate infusion rate (i.e. the substitution flow rate)
|Circuit ionised calcium (Cai)
|<0.25 mmol/L
|Decrease substitution rate by 10%
|Do not adjust blood flow rate
|0.25-0.50 mmol/L (Optimum)
|No adjustment
|>0.5 mmol/L
|Increase substitution rate by 10%
Step 5 - Monitoring and Adjusting the Systemic (Patient) Ionised Calcium
Arterial or venous blood gases from a separate arterial or venous line should be performed hourly initially, to measure systemic ionised calcium. Ionised calcium must be kept in the range 0.9-1.2 mmol/L. Adjust the separate calcium gluconate infusion according to Table 3. Sequential adjustments may be needed.
|Table 3. Adjusting the Calcium Gluconate Infusion Rate
|Systemic ionised calcium (Cai)
|Decrease Ca Gluconate rate by 10%
|1.0-1.2 mmol/L (optimum)
|No adjustment
|Increase Ca Gluconate rate by 10%. Bolus Ca Gluconate if CVS unstable (see below)
|Give 0.3ml/kg over 10 min and increase Ca Gluconate rate by 10%
Record both the circuit ionised calcium and the patient's ionised calcium in the respective lines on the CVVH sheet.
Sample patient ionised calcium hourly until stable. After 4 hours the hourly sampling rate may be decreased to 2 or 4 hourly if the ionised calcium is stable.
Changing the clearance (filtrate rate)
To increase clearance increases in the substitution flow (and filtrate flow) must be accompanied by a proportionate increase in blood flow, in order to keep the ratio between blood flow and citrate flow constant .(See table 1).
Discuss this with the intensivist.
If you change the prescription for the filtrate and blood flow (because you want a higher clearance, for example), then revert to hourly sampling until stable again.
Other monitoring:
- Magnesium (total) should be checked 12-24 hourly.
- Sodium should be checked every 6-12 hours.
- Calcium (total) should be checked 12-24 hourly, and in addition if more than two sequential increases in calcium chloride infusion rate have been needed, or if metabolic acidosis with rising anion gap occurs. See Acid/base below.
- Citrate is completely metabolised in most patients with normal liver function.
- A rising anion gap in a patient with a rising total calcium but a falling ionised calcium (despite increasing the calcium chloride infusion) is caused by citrate accumulation ("citrate lock"). This is more likely in patients who have poor liver function and those receiving large amounts of blood products(these can contain large amounts of citrate). Acidaemia is also likely to develop, with a falling bicarbonate, an increasing anion gap, and a decreasing base excess. (Under normal circumstances the citrate in the circuit blood will cause an anion gap which is 5-7 meq/L greater than the patient's anion gap. Therefore in assessing an anion gap it is important to do so on the patients blood not a circuit blood sample.)
- Citrate lock can only be managed by decreasing the citrate, i.e. substitution, fluid flow rate. REMEMBER this should not be less than 35ml/kg/min. If you need to continue at the same rate of filtrate removal then substitute the decreased citrate fluid with either NaCl or NaHCO3 containing fluids depending upon the serum Na and bicarbonate concentrations.
- In some patients this situation continues to worsen and citrate anticoagulation may have to be abandoned and replaced by heparin anticoagulation and bicarbonate replacement fluid.
- Some patients with normal liver function may become alkalotic due to overproduction of bicarbonate from the citrate load.
- If this occurs use 0.45% or 0.9% saline as some of the replacement solution.
- Discuss with the intensivist.
Stopping CVVH with citrate
Cease the Calcium and Magnesium infusions immediately after ceasing citrate substitution fluid. Recheck plasma total and ionised calcium and total magnesium after 1 hour and 6 hours.
Any of the findings below are an indication to alter
Inform the PICU registrar or Consultant if any of the following:
- Ca++ < 0.8 mmol/L or >1.5mmol/L
- Total serum Ca > 3 mmol/L
- Na+ < 130mmol/L or Na+ > 150mmol/L
- HCO3- > 35mmol/L
- pH < 7.3 or pH > 7.5
- Base Excess < - 5
- Patient Anion Gap > 8mmol/L
Changing Clearance
To increase clearance you need to increase the blood flow rate
and maintain the ratio
of substitution fluid rate to blood flow rate as per table 1.
These are the starting values which are then adjusted as per tables 2 and 3.
Citrate Lock
If citrate lock is developing as evidenced by acidosis, increased anion gap, and increasing ratio of total:ionised calcium then you need to decrease citrate delivery.
It is important that the substitution fluid rate is kept at not less than 35ml/kg/hr. To achieve this and not give excess citrate then some of the substitution fluid will need to be given as either Hemosol (if patient acidotic), 0.9% saline (if patient alkalotic and serum sodium normal), or 0.45% saline (if patient alkalotic and serum sodium high).
This fluid will have to be given and accounted for outside of the Aquarius fluid balance. A good starting dose is to replace 1/3 of the citrate substitution fluid with one of the above fluids.
Record Keeping
All patients need to have a data collection sheet completed for
EACH filter that they use while on CVVH.

Question about 2003 Dodge Neon
Do I need a new engine
Posted by William Green III on
my timing belt broke, how do i reset the timing for my 2005 dodge neon se?
IF the engine was running when it broke (most likely) the bent valves are the result. Requires replacing the bent valves, water pump, idler, belt, head gasket, exhaust gaskets, intake gaskets,
The only problem with replacing the motor is finding on with low mileage ir it probably needs a new belt and water pump too.

SOURCE: My Neon just stopped dead and I think that ithe
It should but it might not. you should be able to tell if it is broke by removing the cover. It is probably just one or two bolts.

Testimonial: "Duh, I did not think of this. Thanks."
SOURCE: 97 dodge neon timing belt broke while going down
I do not have good news for you.
According to the Gates Timing Belt guide 2002 Edition, both engines offered in the Dodge Neon are interference engines.
This means that your engine has likely sustained sgnificant valve, cylinder head or even piston damage. Have you tested the compression?
It is probably least expensive to buy a used engine, change its timing belt and replace your engine with that one.

Whores in Barcelona: falling in love with themThursday 21 January 2016
Whores and escorts in Barcelona offer sex in exchange for money; an apparently easy transaction: bank notes and a body which will do whatever the client desires for a determined time. Sometimes, we can find love in those sexual encounters that were meant to be easy and controlled. Today on our beloved blog, we will talk about falling in love with a whore, its pros and cons, stereotypes, difficulties and bravery.
Some men would never fall in love with a mature escort, Russian escort, or a teen university escort; others, on the contrary, are so loving and strong that they don't mind their favorite escort has sex with ten men per day and can differentiate work and love. Long live the love! But, we shouldn't forget that falling in love with a black whore in Barcelona or with a luxury escort can be a complicated relationship.
Are you jealous? Forget about seducing an escort or a whore because capricious Cupid could be as gentle as to throw arrows to the wrong people. Loving a whore is full of stigmas, only a brave self-confident man will dare to have a relationship with an escort.
We all deserve love, carings and attentions; it is obvious that whores and escorts in Barcelona also deserve it, as they are not aliens.
Loving someone who shares her body with others
Do you imagine loving a girl who shares her body with other men? There are many stories about love between whores and their clients; the sweet Pretty Woman and the hard Leaving Las Vegas are two examples. The first movie isn't realistic at all and the second one may be too realistic, but, although you are brave and self-confident, who would be able to overlook the little fact that before cuddling you she has had sex with several men?
Clarifying things
Owning the person of our dreams is so important for our society. So, the first thing that a man in love should be clear about is that the body of his beloved doesn't belong to him; however, her heart does. That luxury whore is in love, sighs for him and wants to be with him.
Accepting that the person of your dreams is a whore is a good way to start a relationship; she probably won't quit her job because of the love of a man who can fall in love with another girl tomorrow. You may think that she could always go back to her job, but she wouldn't quit it because they would lose their status as luxury whores.
Can anybody fall in love and keep on being a whore? It seems so, and it also seems easy. We should differentiate between our dream life and our job. Generally, if you fall in love with a Catalan escort, Cuban escort, or a mature escort, they probably will be able to differentiate between sex and love and won't want to lose their status, and their high incomes to cook dinner for you -and we don't mean a blowjob-, and abandon their carvings.
It would be advisable not to think about how many times she has performed golden shower, deep throat, titty job, etc today. The person who is in love with a whore or an escort should be not only brave and self-confident, but also keep those harmful thoughts away.
Whores in Barcelona: they aren't all the same
Of course! We know that not all the escorts and whores in Barcelona are the same, but isn't wrong to remind it. There are whores who can handle an affair in the middle of an orgy or at an erotic party and whores who aren't open to love. Maybe some of them are open to quit their luxurious life, to stop fucking ten men per day and delighting them with golden shower or deep throat services. But, there are some who won't make a false move although they are in love. In this scenario, get ready to suffer until you can recover from your love crush and be a reasonable person again.
If you are experiencing this situation, remember that not all the whores or escorts have the same values, feelings, and reasons. Unfortunately, social stereotypes crucify whores and try to reduce them to repeated patrons, or clones, but, once again, they are wrong.
Is it a monogamous relationship?
According to the dictionary, this term refers to a person who is married to another one individual. So, we could consider a loving relationship with a whore or an escort as to be monogamous.
On the other hand, what happens when a whore or an escort decides not to attend her boyfriend at her working place and he decides to meet other whores? Could she label him as a punter? Could she justify herself by saying she fuck other men only because of her job?
So, as we have seen, starting a relationship with a black whore, a Russian escort, even a Spanish escort, or a Catalan escort is complex. It is required to be sure you are in love and to be patient enough to discuss all the aspects and situations that wouldn't be normal in relationships where nobody prostitutes.
If you think that having a relationship with an escort is difficult after reading this post, it maybe advisable for you not to walk on thin ice and let your relations with whores and escorts be what they are: sex and pleasure in exchange for money for a short time.

As the industry leans towards greater environmental responsibility, owners have shown interest in facilities that reflect sustainable design and construction practices. As a member of the U.S. Green Building Council, Primus Builders has embraced this philosophy and is committed to finding ways for owners to incorporate sustainable features into their projects.
It begins at project kick-off. Conversations with the owner at the beginning of the project determine the level of sustainability that fits the project's budget and goals, and any LEED certification desired. Primus then integrates sustainable practices organically as part of the design-build process. Sustainability becomes part of the overall project approach, not an agenda item during the commissioning process. Owner goals are clearly communicated to the team and become part of the project approach.
Thanks to IACSC submitted its Energy Modeling Guideline for Cold Storage and Refrigerated Warehouse Facilities
guidance document and Primus submitted an inquiry regarding minimum indoor air quality performance
standards. Both issues were considered important enough to be presented to the EA TAG at their next
quarterly meeting.
in 2015, the International Association for Cold Storage Construction and Primus lobbied the United States Green Building Council to make changes to the LEED scorecard that would open the door for cold storage facilities to achieve LEED certification. Thanks to that effort, Primus has achieved LEED certification on the following projects:
Primus's goal is to continue adding LEED Accredited Professionals and LEED certified projects to its roster and fully develop its role as a good steward of the environment.

Schalke players to 'work in club shop on their free day' instead of being fined
Schalke have announced they will punish players by making them work in the club shop rather than fining them.
With players able to pay fines more easily than ever due to Bundesliga salaries continuously increasing, Schalke have decided to introduce new disciplinary measures for the upcoming season to ensure players are actually punished for their wrongdoings.
"You can't really hurt the lads with fines," Schalke sporting executive Christian Heidel told Sport Bild. "We also have the leisure time punishment. And it might happen that players have to work in the club shop on their free day instead of getting fined."
New head coach Domenico Tedesco already introduced similar measures for offences like violent conduct leading to a red card, showing up late for training or going out the before match days.
Bild also reported that another punishment could be welfare work for a charity organisation.
The players are set to be informed about the club's new measures in their upcoming training camp in Austria.

Tigers' Joe Jimenez: Pitches well Wednesday
Jimenez pitched a scoreless inning in Wednesday's loss to the Athletics, allowing one hit and striking out two.
Jimenez has now gone two straight appearances without allowing a run. While that doesn't sound like much, it's a step in the right direction for a guy with an 11.94 ERA and 2.19 WHIP. Jimenez has electric stuff, and the Tigers organization is hoping he learns to harness it effectively. The 22-year-old should get a few more appearances before the season is over as the team looks toward 2018.

I adore salted caramel and have been waiting for an excuse to make this cake! It's from the Great British Bake Off Showstoppers book and is very, very yummy. I decided not to decorate it as recommended but to cover the top in the ganache and add chocolate curls. I think it looks pretty fab.
For the Filling:
3 x 8" sandwich tins, greased and the base lined with baking paper
Preheat the oven to 180C / Fan 160C / Gas 4
Sift the flour, salt and sugar into a bowl of a large free-standing electric mixer (or into a mixing bowl if you are going to use a hand held electric mixer) Add the butter to the bowl, in pieces. Whisk the eggs with the buttermilk and vanilla using a fork, then add to the bowl. Beat on low speed until everything is thoroughly combined and very smooth, thick and light. Divide the mixture evenly among the 3 tins and spread level. Bake for about 25 minutes until the sponges are springy when gently pressed in the centre and starting to shrink away from the sides of the tins.
Set the tins on a wire rack and run a round-bladed knife around the insides to loosen the sponges, then cool for 2 minutes before turning out. Leave to cool completely.
Meanwhile, make the caramel filling. Put 175g of the weighed butter into a medium-sized pan with the muscovado sugar and cream. Heat gently until the butter has melted, then bring to the boil, stirring. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Pour the mixture into a heatproof mixing bowl and beat in the icing sugar, using an electric mixer. When the sugar has been incorporated, continue beating until the mixture is fluffy and barely warm. Gradually beat in the rest of the butter and the salt. Add more salt, if needed.
Put the pieces of dark chocolate into a heatproof bowl and set over a pan of steaming hot (not boiling) water and melt gently, stirring until smooth. Spoon about half the chocolate into another bowl, and stir in slightly less than 1/4 of the caramel mixture. To assemble the cake, set one sponge layer on a serving plate and spread over one-third of the caramel mixture. Spread a second sponge layer with the chocolate-caramel mixture and set on the first layer. Place the third sponge layer on top. Leave the cake to set in the fridge slightly (to avoid a landslide!) then cover the top and then the sides of the assembled cake with the remaining caramel mixture, working quickly before the mixture firms up.
Cover the top of the cake with the remaining chocolate allowing it to drip down the sides. Decorate with chocolate curls.
Leave to set. The cake can be kept, in an airtight container, for up to 4 days.
Caramel icing is an absolute bitch. I ended up making 1.5 batches (I didn't want to level my sponges so used icing to do this!) and had to chill it before taking a spatula and boiling water to it to tidy it up. It is not easy to work with so bare that in mind!
It was totally worth all the effort though, YUM!

I have always loved to dress up, ever since I was a little girl. I enjoy wearing dresses for no special reason – just going to work, and I also like cute sets of tops and skirts with just the right shoes. Sometimes I find my dresses and shirts are perfectly cut for going out with the girls or on a date night with my husband, but they may not be the most work-appropriate outfits, depending on how low-cut the neckline happens to be.
Rather than not wear my favorite tops and dresses to work at all, I am so excited I learned about a new product from Johnny on the Spot!™ that allows you to turn any low-cut top or dress into a more business appropriate garment. I received a black Bosom Bandeau from Johnny on the Spot for the purpose of this review and I'm thrilled to share my feelings about this versatile fashion accessory.
The Johnny on the Spot Bosom Bandeau is simply a soft fabric band that comfortably fits around your chest much like a bandeau bra, swimsuit, or tube top would. It can be pulled upward a bit for a more conservative look or adjusted accordingly to suit your needs. The Bosom Bandeau is so easy to put on and take off so you can quickly convert your look from business to sexy socialite in a matter of seconds.
I really enjoy how soft and comfortable this fabric is. Did I mention I am also eight months pregnant? I have a size medium-large Bosom Bandeau and I've already found it to be more comfortable than most of the bras that I own in a full cup and strap size higher than before I got pregnant. It is important to note that this product can be worn in tandem with your bra, but I have even worn it when I've been too lazy or tired to wear a bra around the house and it feels better than going bare. The fabric is super comfortable, and while there really isn't the support needed to make up for a bra, that is not this product's purpose – just a nice little bonus for those of us who want to have some coverage without the bulkiness of a true bra.
I wore the Bosom Bandeau with a V-neck halter dress to work, along with a little short-sleeved cover-up, and it ended up looking awesome. It was conservative enough to wear to the office, yet I still got to wear a brand-new dress I was itching to wear. When I got home, I swiftly and easily removed the bandeau so I could have a nice dinner with my husband. Voila – instant wardrobe extender. I am a huge fan and I highly recommend this product.
You can get Johnny on the Spot products like the Bosom Bandeau at Duane Reade for retail prices ranging from $5 to $25.

I think they are a perfect gift idea for both kids and adults that love to color.
Even at my age I still like to use crayons for different craft projects and Crayon Rocks are the perfect crayon.
They are so easy to hold and use. The Crayon Rocks fit perfectly with your thumb, first and second fingers in a tripod grip.
Crayon Rocks are made form U.S.–grown and processed Kosher soy wax.
Unlike most crayons which are made of petrolium paraffin wax.
They combine the Kosher soy wax with natural mineral pigments to create beautiful colors and a
natural ground rock that gives the crayons their body.
This creates a crayon that goes on smooth and blends easily.
being able to create line work and smaller details.
The colors blend together easily and allow kids to develop an endless array of new shades and combinations.
They give rich color that goes on smoothly and easily helps little fingers to
grow strong as they spill their creative ideas onto paper.
Crayon Rocks recommends brushing your finished creation with the palm of your hand for a finished oil pastel quality.
Any child would be delighted to have a pouch of Crayon Rocks.
I received the above pictures Holiday Red Set.
The red organza pouch contains twenty (20) colors.
It came packed in a kraft box with holiday tissue paper.
Four (4) special holiday colors: white, Christmas red, Christmas green, and silver are added to their regular 16 colors.
A message card is attached to the front.
Add a bow and the gift is complete.
I love the packaging and the Crayon Rocks.
For only $9.95 and the 20% off Crayon Rocks is offering Simple Side of Life viewers
this is the PERFECT gift for ANY occasion.
With Christmas right around the corner, why not get some shopping out of the way.

The Lipstick Gospel Devotional: 90 Days Of Saying Yes To A God Who Is Anything But Boring
The Lipstick Gospel Devotional: 90 Days Of Saying Yes To A God Who Is Anything But Boring
Thousands of women are walking together toward a fuller relationship with God, with their lives, and with themselves. Will you join them?
Here's what the devotional is all about:
Several months ago, I was speaking at an event and, when I got off the stage, one of the women came up to me with a question. "I want this," she told me, "I've been a Christian all my life, but my relationship with God just isn't as rich and colorful as the one you described. I want to know God better, to trust Him, and to see Him do amazing things in my life. But I have no idea how to get there. What do I do next?"
This devotional is my very best answer to her question: 90 days of small steps toward a fuller relationship with God, with our lives, and with ourselves.
The Lipstick Gospel Devotional is about God and our relationships with Him, and how to find Him in our everyday lives. It's about rest, and celebration, and learning to love ourselves. It's about travel, and whimsy, and toes in the sand, about the transformative power of best friends, and a really great chocolate croissant. It's a reminder that there's never anything too broken for God to heal or redeem, and a dare to say yes to the plan He has for our lives."

Reliable talent, Just In Time!
Immediate Employment Initiative forPuerto Rican and Caribbean Island EvacueesResource Employment Solutions has developed a massive jobs program for families relocating to the mainland after hurricane Maria disaster which includes opportunities for both temporary and full-time employment, as well as relocation assistance. ORLANDO, FL - The National Puerto Rican Leadership Council Education Fund (NPRLCEF), an organization that advocates for Puerto Rican representation and participation in our community, is joining forces with Resource Employment Solutions (RES), a Hispanic-owned national staffing company headquartered in Orlando, to meet relocating families with immediate employment options upon arrival to the mainland US."We could no longer stand idly by, with our hands crossed, watching the news and seeing the suffering in our people's faces. Many great organizations are currently mobilizing relief efforts, but what happens after the dust settles? We wanted to make sure that anyone displaced by the hurricanes could secure a financial means to support their family long-term. I assembled an emergency task force at Resource, and mobilized our national implementation team. We now have a master inventory of tens of thousands of available positions that we can offer evacuees for immediate employment. We have also instructed our senior recruitment team to aggressively secure more job opportunities with companies that are willing to employ these families." stated Eddy Dominguez, Senior Executive Vice President for Resource Employment Solutions.Carlos R. Guzman, President/CEO for NPRLCEF said, "We are working around the clock looking for all kinds of help to alleviate the suffering of our people on the Island. Mr. Dominguez's vision and leadership to proactively develop an employment contingency plan is very innovative. I thank Mr. Dominguez and all of the Resource executive team across all of their 70 offices around the nation that came up with this novel initiative."All job applicants should apply here: www.ResourceEmployment.com/Candidate

There is just nothing like a blood orange cake/torta and I have been waiting PATIENTLY for their appearance in the markets (here in S.C.). If time allows you, Debby, please stop by my blog for a little recognition of you (no silly awards, I promise).
Thanks for the blood orange recipe to emulate,

I love eating blood oranges- they are so beautiful! I've never baked with them though, and after seeing this gorgeous cake I'm wondering why. It looks so good! :)

I would have had no idea what the blood oranges were up until a few years ago, so you're not alone! Love the idea of making an upside down cake with them. makes for a stunning exterior and a delicious interior!

I only use a cast-iron skillet for making pineapple upside down cake. I wonder if my mother's vanilla-nutmeg sauce would be as good on your cake as it is on pineapple upside down. Probably not, two completely different fruits.

I've made this several times this season too, but not with the addition of the orange oil - great idea. Your cake looks sensational.

TRYST Nightclub at the Wynn Hotel Las Vegas
|Get Free Quote »
Regardless of whether you followed that line of logic, all you really need to know is that Tryst can be everything you want it to be. It's a nightclub on an epic scale, in a hotel on an epic scale, in a town definitely on an epic scale. The plush setting of the Wynn aside, Tryst stands on its own opulent little legs serving up the glamour that your apartment back home could never provide.
First of all, if you take nothing else about the club away (because maybe you got a little too wrapped up in forgetting your troubles), you'll remember a giant waterfall. It's visible from most places you'd find yourself standing in the club and it's a waterfall. In a hotel. In a nightclub. It's not another strobe light or bottle of Skyy, it's a waterfall. Suffice to say, it's a neat feature that serves to set Tryst apart from all the other clubs in town. But you can't just build a waterfall and call it a day and so Tryst extends that incredulous concept into every aspect of the venue.

Yesterday I mentioned that anti-helmet law arguments were "so bad and so stupid" they're actually pushing me to oppose them. This may not be a very fun post for non-motorcyclists to read and for that I apologize, but any time a lobbying group's talking points are so terrible they turn a would-be supporter against them I think it's worth examining. Biker's Rights Online, I'm talking to you.
It's worth noting that I'm already an ATGATT guy- All The Gear, All The Time. The more I ride, the less I understand the cruiser crowd in bandannas, sunglasses and nary a bit of CE-rated armor to be found in their leathers. But I still bristled when I moved to Las Vegas in 2011 and discovered Nevada had a mandatory helmet law. I wear my gear by choice, and it just rubbed my rebellious nature the wrong way to be ordered to wear it. I should be the perfect spokesman for a group like Biker's Rights. It's been living in flyover country with the helmetless masses, reading anti-helmet law arguments, and maybe even getting married (worrying about someone else's noggin beside my own) that's changed my views. I still don't know if I'm actually in favor of helmet laws, but I just can't work up the give-a-damn enough to oppose them anymore.
So let's tear apart the opposition talking points.
Myth #1. Helmets impede vision and hearing. I've ridden with helmets and I've ridden without and this is complete and utter bull****.
- Tackling hearing first, the wind roar over a bare ear is FAR more deafening and impedes hearing other traffic and road hazards (to say nothing of long-term hearing damage from sustained exposure). A proper helmet dulls the roar of the wind so you can actually hear what's happening through it: like road noise from neighboring vehicles tires, engines and exhausts, or even an unexpected noise that could be an early indicator of a mechanical problem. I've got a convertible, and it's the exact same thing when the top is up vs. top down; open air is fun and great, but it impedes hearing. Helmets help you hear better, and anti-helmet folks are either lying or so woefully ignorant they should just quit talking.
- Saying helmets impede vision is just as silly. Anti-helmet buffoons claim they obscure peripheral vision. DOT, Snell, and ECE require a minimum of 105° visibility. The average human can only use 90° of that sideways vision. So again, anti-helmet folks are lying or ignorant. And even a high school level understanding of physics ("nature abhors a vacuum", venturi effect, etc.) should make it clear that sunglasses are poor eye protection. Goggles also obstruct peripheral vision. So really, the least intrusive and best vision protection is inarguably a full face helmet.
Myth #2. The added weight of a helmet contributes to neck injury. This is the one I think I find most reaching, ridiculous, desperate, and shows anti-helmet folks to be idiots devoid of critical thinking skills. Too harsh? Not really. While the anti-helmet crowd will say things like "there's not enough data" or "we need more/better studies" the fact is there are LOTS of plainly evident incidents in MotoGP, World Superbike, and any other racing series. These guys wipe out all the time, and they tend to not die instantly of a broken neck. When I wrecked my Ducati, a full face helmet saved my face and teeth. Did it hurt my neck? I don't know, because I'd just crashed a motorcycle and I hurt everywhere. But I didn't sustain any lasting neck injuries and I did keep my pretty mouth intact (evidenced by deep gouges in the helmet from sliding down the road). Claims of neck injury are a desperate and pathetic "what if?" that completely ignore the very real certainty of smacking one's head or face into the ground.
Myth #3. Helmets don't reduce crashes, only ridership (and therefore crashes). The thing is, while the rebuttals of Myth #1 make it at least possible that helmets could reduce crashes, I've never heard a mandatory helmet law advocate make that claim. The pro-helmet law claim is that helmets reduce fatalities, which is demonstrably and unquestionably true. Anti-helmet folks are intentionally interchanging "crash" for "fatality", obscuring the argument, and it's just plain dishonest. (It should also be added that mandatory helmet laws could potentially deter theft. Most theft is a crime of opportunity, so unless a thief just happened to be walking around with a helmet he'd be picked up by cops whilst trying to ride away. This doesn't stop the pickup truck method.)
Myth #4. Helmets don't protect at speed. Again, let's just reference motorcycle racing, shall we? Bikers Rights Online advises people to quote Snell, saying they can't protect from an impact over 23 miles per hour. Who knew that MotoGP was so slow?!?! The problem with this very, very stupid argument is that they ignore even the most rudimentary physics yet again. Drop one baseball straight down, fire another one 90° from an equal height at 100 mph, and they impact at the ground same time. Therefore, the actual impact speed of a helmet to the ground is calculated only from the height at which it begins its descent. And even at six feet above the ground, say on a big and tall adventure bike, that impact speed is less than 15 mph. (I used WolframAlpha and Splat Calculator. Falling acceleration in Earth's gravity is about 32 feet per second per second, for those that don't remember.)
Again, I'm not yet actively in favor of mandatory helmet laws. It simply strikes me a common sense thing. In a world where we all wear our seatbelts, why wouldn't we all wear helmets?! Of course, I also fail to understand wearing leather without CE armor. I bet anti-helmet riders would find a "lid" less hot and stuffy if they'd try some textile riding gear instead of poorly ventilated leather, but I digress.
The more I read Bikers Rights Online (whom I won't do the courtesy of linking to), the more tin-foil hat conspiracy garbage I see. Phrases like "follow the money" and "they won't tell us about neck injury" and claims of disinformation just make anti-helmet folks look like nutcases and their arguments are moronic. They claim they're "seen as anti-social, public burdens, scofflaws, 'scary', etc." but I would argue they're seen that way not as an unfair characterisation but because of the way they behave. Loud pipes are another contributing factor to this negative image, and while rude levels of exhaust noise is a topic for another essay, it is an example of behavior being the problem in the way some motorcyclists are viewed. It's not the helmets, no matter how Bikers Rights wants to portray themselves as victims. It's the image they cultivate, manufacture, and bring onto themselves.
Clearly, from the strength of their arguments the anti-helmet advocates don't have much gray matter worth protecting anyway. Maybe that's why they take the stance they do. All I know is I'd gladly take a nationwide mandatory helmet law in exchange for lane splitting and filtering. If anybody fighting helmet laws really cared about safety, they'd put their efforts into lobbying for motorcyclist's right to actively avoid getting hit by inattentive drivers.

Night club, after work drinks bar, art gallery, event space and now ping-pong haven... 2022NQ really does have all those boxes ticked. The Northern Quarter's most diverse venue has joined the Ping Pong craze with a permanent table, so slip on your short shorts (or maybe not) and head on down for a relaxed game and a beer.
Ping Pong Bars in Manchester
The ping pong craze has well and truly hit Manchester, and the city's bars and clubs are obliging their sports hungry guests accordingly. More bars and pubs are catering for ping pong lovers every day - and it's not just the sports bars. From pubs to student bars and even the coolest hipster hang outs, ping pong is becoming an integral part of an afternoon or evening out in Manchester. So check out our list of all the best places to play ping pong in Manchester and enjoy.
Kosmonaut has always been one of the coolest hangouts in the Northern Quarter and now with a basement full of table tennis tables and Ping Pong parties, its coolness is even more indisputable. With leather booths, bare brick walls and a cocktail menu worth the wander down Tariff Street, this city centre hang out is a must visit.
The Salutation is a mix of old and new with real ales and cask ales but a ton of great entertainment from pub quizzes to live music, like Jazz and Folk events. Head outside and they have several ping pong tables, perfect for a quick game or two. Just south of the city centre, in the student heavy Oxford Road area, its the perfect spot to relax.
