"Love, love, love VitaminEnergy!!! You've gotta try this stuff."
"As an editor for a major publication I have to pull late nights on tight deadlines. I take VitaminEnergy shots to give me the extra boost to make it through those nights. This drink makes me feel terrific."
"Hands down the best energy drink on the market. I get energized and am in euphoria on it. It's all that and then some."
"A+++ drink. Tastes great and makes me very alert."
"I stopped drinking coffee and drink VitaminEnergy instead. From 1 shot I get totally amped up."
"I play multi-day poker tournaments and have found that a shot of VitaminEnergy makes me mentally alert and wide awake. Very much so recommend this drink."
"It's an absolute miracle serum. I take a shot at after my lunch break at work every day and instantly feel better. 100% recommend it daily"
"VitaminEnergy tastes great and makes you instantly feel better. I absolutely love the way this drink makes feel!"
"I've tried energy drinks, coffee, and even prescription medication to help battle fatigue. I must honestly say that VitaminEnergy is the best of the best...it's my go-to drink to keep me healthy and energized. I highly recommend that you try it."
"Actually I like it. The taste is good. It's good stuff, I like it! If you're looking for a healthy source of energy, and you care about what you put in your body, this is the stuff you want to get."
"Man I feel great. This actually tastes great. Right now I don't have a crash. I would recommend VitaminEnergy™ all the time."
"It gives me energy, lots of energy! WHEWWWEEE! But I only take half a bottle in one day. Of course, I'm 73 years old, so I imagine everything affects me more than your avg. joe. For older folks, I suggest half a bottle to 1 bottle a day."
"It is what it is. When I feel tired or sick these shots instantly make me feel better. Because of the level of vitamins in these drinks i believe in drinking a couple a day."
I stopped drinking energy drinks except for vitamin energy. They’re a little more on the spendier side, but I noticed I was more focused and got stuff done after drinking one. Definitely recommend to others!!!!
I love vitamin energy. It is my favorite energy drink.
I am an avid lover of VitaminEnergy and love the taste. It provides a quick pick me up and gives me the boost of energy i need to get through my work day or night classes for college.
Tastes better than any other energy drink I've tried before and makes me laser focused. Highly recommend.
I have recently starting drinking Vitamin Energy after never being an energy drink fan in the past..
I have to say, it’s become one of my favorite pick me ups. I love 0 carbs and no sugar crash. It doesn’t make me jittery I feel energized from it.
This is my favorite energy drink! They have such a great sweet flavor (even though it is sugar free). If I had to purchase an energy drink it would be this one.
I love Vitamin Energy. Anybody that knows me, knows I’m an avid coffee drinker. I love the taste of Vitamin Energy and at most times, I crave the flavor. Not going to stop drinking coffee, but have definitely added these to my daily life.
The taste is definitely my favorite. It’s pricier than other energy drinks (unless on sale!) but it’s one of my go to’s for quick energy boosts. I like the variety of sizes whether I need a little pick me up or if I need something I can sip on for a while.
I just cut out coffee, and this is the perfect healthy substitute. I take it before workouts and in the afternoon when I get drowsy. Not having to worry about a sugar crash has made getting through long days so much easier!
I was surprised at how pleasant the taste is. I really enjoyed it. What was even more surprising was that there's no sugar and no carbs. I had to stop myself from taking more because i enjoyed the taste so much...didn't want to get too much energy and get jitters.
This is my new go-to energy drink. I like it way better than the old alternative shots I was taking before.
Tried Vitamin Energy the other day for the first time and am instantly hooked. From the moment I took my first shot...WOWWWWWEEE!!!!
As a natural cynic, I was a bit skeptical with trying this. Having said that, the Vitamin Energy Shot gives me as much alertness as a double expresso, which is amazing because many other energy drinks don't give me the that same energy. The taste was really good too.
I love being able to grab this little bottle of energy while I'm chasing down my kids around the house. Vitamin Energy really does its job and its full of essential vitamins that are good for you. It doesn't make you jittery plus NO CRASH after. I definitely recommend this.
Vitamin Energy is really a staple that I've added to my daily regimen. No more giant cups of coffee, this little bottle keeps me going till bedtime. The flavor is great, in fact i have to remind myself not to drink too much. I highly recommend this if you need a #PickMeUp.
Lifesaver drink...from the moment it hit my lips I felt great. Highly recommend.
Not a typical fan of these types of products but love these shots. Vitamin Energy is truly glorious!
Just tried Vitamin Energy the other day when they were passing it out in Manhattan...almost didn't stop because it was freezing out but am happy I did. LOVE IT & HOOKED FOR LIFE!!!!!
Started drinking these recently. Gives me a pick me up without having a double expresso in the AM.
I’ve been many things throughout my life from student to fighter pilot from database programmer to Chief Executive Officer. Staying physically fit is a part of my DNA and I participated in many different sports even as a senior Open Racquetball player. At age 73, I worked out in the gym 4 to 5 times every week and played competitive racquetball regularly. I’ve practiced nutrition for more than 30 years and became a vegetarian in 1985. I led a very active life and enjoyed excellent health. That is, until 2015, when I suffered a major heart attack; in the gym no less.
Having spent the last 30 years as a management consultant specializing in product development, spending countless hours sitting behind a desk, I continued to work out in the gym and ran a 7 mile circuit through Frick Park every morning before breakfast. I discovered the Internet in 1986 and began writing database apps for my clients. I started my first online business in 1994 and enjoyed serious success. Beginning in 2003, my business struggled to become a major player on the Internet resulting in a 3 year litigation costing millions of dollars and, most importantly, driving me into a lengthy depression. Even though I worked out daily, I managed to gain 50 pounds! What good is fitness without health?
Even though I was a career Air Force pilot, I originally trained as a biochemist. I intended to go to medical school before setting out to save the world. The 1960’s were bellicose years driven by the cold war and the escalation of actions in Southeast Asia. I decided I’d rather shoot stuff than save lives; it just seemed so much more exciting. Having a job where you get a huge dose of adrenalin every day becomes addictive and in retirement I continued to chase that monkey.
I became involved with VitaminEnergy® in my role as a product development consultant. Having introduced more than 200 new products since 1986, I had the necessary knowledge and experience to introduce VitaminEnergy® to the world. A 76 years old man selling to people the age of his grandchildren requires an intimate knowledge of “Millennial” behavior. I realized, behaviorally, I’m still a millennial. Sure, I move slower and endurance isn’t my strong suit but I’m fit and healthy, sleep well and enjoy a very active lifestyle.
Here’s the paradigm that I follow. Keep physically active. Eat sensibly. Challenge your body to improve strength and agility. Work out daily.
That’s where VitaminEnergy® comes in. Before I work out, I drink a 2 ounce shot of VitaminEnergy® to ensure that I have the vigor required to finish my exercise routine and often drink another shot to reinvigorate myself throughout the day. After all, I may be old, but I still think about the consequences of a sedentary lifestyle. With VitaminEnergy®, I get all the energy I need together with a healthy dose of essential immune system fighting supplements needed for active people today. The lesson? You don’t need to be a Millennial to act like one!
I’ve added VitaminEnergy to my daily diet and it works pretty incredibly. I take a Vitamin Energy shot in the AM when I wask up now, C4 as a pre-workout supplement. Also my girlfriend loves the energy levels I have off of this that are helping me contribute more to the house.
Honestly, these shots work. . If your intention is to get energy, then this is a better alternative to drinking an entire cup of joe. Don’t do it too late at night because you won’t be able to fall asleep.
Love this stuff, it’s my coffee substitute. My body can’t take a full shot, just sip it throughout the day so that when I start getting tired I get my pickmeup.
There is absolutely no crashing. These make me feel healthier too.
This has a good taste and does give me energy without a major crash. I took mine around 2 and my only complaint was that it kept me up past midnight.
My wife loves vitamin energy! They’ve rejuvenated her.
Excellent drink but don’t drink too much or you won’t be able to sleep.
Very effective. No side effects. Excellent product!
It is delicious, quick and powerful energy. I cannot drink a full bottle. It's better than coffee. Quick, easy, and guaranteed to pick me up. I’m definitely hooked.
Tastes really good, gave me energy, and I love that I get a ton of vitamins in these little drinks.
Give vitaminenergy a shot - it's awesome!
Ohhhh yeaaaa!!!! Took a shot on the street the other day in the city, love it!!!!!!!!
OMFG i love this stuff. i love it!
I'm a huge fan of the taste. Gives me just as much energy as Monster but tastes better and is more convenient to drink.
The 0 carbs and no sugar crash after is probably the best benefit of this drink. Recommend.
Energy, energy, energy!!!!! Without crashing after...you've gotta try this stuff.
This is my new go-to drink for energy. The fact that it's got a lot of vitamins in it plus boosts your energy levels is a major positive in my books.
I like it! I really like it!!!
The Vitamin Energy hit me within seconds and lasted for hours. I'm hooked!
From the moment i shot it back i could sense it was coursing throughout my entire body...i felt like superman.
As a programmer I have to stay up for long hours programming. It's laborious work at times. Glad to have stumbled upon the Vitamin Energy drink, will add to the support of my long nights in the zone.
Love the taste and energy. Great stuff.
I'm happy to have an alternative to 5 hour, to be honest. I felt like i was taking battery acid before, this is really refreshing to have.
A++++++++ 5 star the best! Totally recommend it.
I stopped drinking coffee and drink one of these every morning now when I wake up.

The quality of an ad impacts the search results of Google, ads, and your account performance so you should establish or develop a method to figure out how your customers found your ad and how they track these results. There are many ways to do so. Most companies ask "How did you hear about us?" from new customers who phone or visit while other companies ask who referred them.But tracking is a great way to determine if your advertising is effectively working.Tracking precisely tells you the media or ads that bring inquiries and the ads that generate sales. This distinction is actually a key. The amount of revenue each advertising dollar produces can easily be tracked if can keep a tally of the number of invoices.Tracking ad performance helps you to decide if you need to adjust your advertising in order to make your budget most effectively work for you. So you will pre-emptively learn when to stop using some media or publications and when to spend more money in others. You can precisely make out which headings are getting you the majority.
Advertising has long been considered is a trial-and-error process. Several years will be spent trying out different advertising options plus analyzing assessing results to gather knowledge about your target markets and the mix of media that is working best for your business.
AdWords makes use of a variable named the `Quality Score.` The score is used to evaluate the relevance of your keywords. Quality Score calculation is based on the click through rate (CTR) of your keywords on Google.
Each time one of your keywords matches a query then your quality score is updated. Quality Score is a true indicator of the success of an ad amongst the people. Based upon the quality score the google search engine places the ad at various positions over the content network. It is a true representation of how useful a user has found an ad to be and is a prime element in the AdWords cost-per-click (CPC) pricing model.
Keyword Analysis pages: A detailed view of keyword`s performance can be made by checking the Keyword Analysis page that gives an exact idea about the Quality Score of your Ad. It also suggests how you can actually improve your quality Score.
Keyword Status: On your Ad Group Details page, the `Keywords` tab can be used to check the status of the keyword. This status lets you know if your keyword is prompting ads to show up on the results of search pages.

Rumor has it Van Halen have secured their record deal.
The Van Halen News Desk is reporting sources tell them VH have recently signed with Interscope Records, and not Columbia Records as earlier rumors predicted.
They report the album is 100% done and in the can, and fans will have it in their hands early next year. The release date is set in stone and is top secret, but will be announced very soon.
Given the band’s appearance on the Grammys on February 12, hennemusic predicts the album will be released on the Tuesday either side of that date – from a pure marketing standpoint, our best guess is February 14, Valentine’s Day.
Create the hype, build the hype, tease the hype, unleash the goods, release the product.
(11/11/11) UPDATE: After further thought on the marketing involved in this launch, it occurs to me that VH may, in fact, debut the new single on the Grammys; that would be the major hook to get people to tune in - to see a song they haven't heard before. So...that's another possible angle on how this could play out.

They say there's no fountain of youth. But a comprehensive new Harvard University study is the latest report to break down exactly how much extra time you can get yourself on this planet if you follow a small number of positive life habits.
None of these habits will be a surprise, but the stunning part is how the Harvard researchers claim to be able to quantify exactly how much more time you'll likely live: specifically an extra 12.1 years for men, or an extra 14 years for the women.
Their research was published in April in the journal Circulation. Here's the research, the findings, the specific habits--and just how precious that extra decade-plus could be.
Despite spending far more on medical care than any other country in the world, Americans have only the 31st highest life expectancy (79.3 years). In some states, it's as low as 71 or 72 years--about the same as in developing nations like Bangladesh.
So, Harvard researchers accessed the health histories of 44,354 men and 78,865 women, spanning roughly three decades, who had participated in two previous studies: the Health Professionals Follow-up Study and the Nurses' Health Study.
Since more than 42,000 of the study participants had died by the time the researchers accessed the data, they could now correlate the degree to which people reported practicing health habits to their total life expectancy: the 12.1 and 14 extra years we referenced above.
So, what were the habits? Again, there are no real surprises, but perhaps seeing them laid out like this, specifically tied to a longer life, will motivate you to try to stick to them.
If you smoke, quit. If you haven't started smoking, keep it that way. Other studies have shown that on average, if you smoke, you'll die seven years earlier than you otherwise would.
2. Maintain a low body mass index.
We've seen this one many times too. For example, if your waist measures more than 40 inches (men) or 35 inches (women), you need to lose belly fat fast in order to add years to your life.
3. Work out for 30 minutes per day.
Again: We've seen it before. A short period of jogging each day, for example, can make your body seem nine years younger, according to another study.
It's a bit difficult to define a healthy diet by Harvard's standards in this summary, but they describe it as having "a high diet quality score (upper 40 percent)." Of course, you probably already know what a healthy diet looks like. Start with foods that are high in antioxidants.
It's worth noting that the study used age 50 as a benchmark, meaning that they looked at how long people could expect to live beyond that age, depending on whether they did or did not adhere to healthy habits.

Have been searching through the MLS for a while for multi-family deals. I would like to use my VA loan this time around since I have to move to the area for work anyways (so safety for family is a concern) but there just seem to be a lack of a multi-family available all together much less a deal that would fit the VA criteria.
Just frustrating when you have the financing in place (up to 400k), have a lender that I have used before that can close quick (20 calendar days on a VA is quick) and just cant find anything that fits.
Any advice from those active in Fort Worth where these might be hidden or other areas close that I might be missing?
I know of a couple good ones in your price range in the Weatherford area. Half hour west of FW. One is SUPER nice, asking $270K. It's a New (built in 2014-2015) brick duplex, 3/2/2 on each side. Both sides rented under market right now at $1050/month. Market rents should be about 1250+. Would be a pretty good deal since it's so new. SHOULD (no guarantees) have very little maintenance costs first few years.
Let me know if you would like more info on this one or some of the others. In the FW area proper, I haven't found many that I would want to live in & rent out other side that are the right price.

Ami Koshimizu won "Best Actress in a Supporting Role" for her role as Kallen at the first Seiyu Awards in 2007.
In 2007, she was awarded Best Actress in a supporting role at the 1st Seiyu Awards for her role as Kallen Stadtfeld in Code Geass.
He further directs the remaining resistance forces in the battle, granting them a decisive advantage until Suzaku Kururugi uses the Lancelot's superior systems to overwhelm their forces.
Britannian aid is requested in recovering the Empress, and Suzaku personally has Kallen Stadtfeld transferred into Britannian custody before heading into the battle.
Kallen appears early in the first episode, driving a truck with C.C.'s capsule, and then providing cover by fighting Jeremiah in a Glasgow.
C.C. intervenes in her Lancelot so he can escape, and battles her former Black Knight co-pilot Kallen Stadtfeld.
During the operation to kidnap Nunnally vi Britannia as she is being transported to Area 11, Kallen receives an upgrade for the Guren Mk-II, giving it flight capabilities and an upgraded radiation arm.
After Kallen Stadtfeld is captured and sent back to Area 11, Nunnally has her transferred to a better facility and gives her a dress to wear in lieu of an ordinary prisoner jumpsuit.
Some of her major roles are Kallen Stadtfeld in the Code Geass series, Miyuki Takara in Lucky Star, Nina Fortner in Monster, Rider in Studio Deen's Fate/stay night, Suigintou the first Rozen Maiden doll in Rozen Maiden, Sawako Yamanaka in K-On!, Sola-Ui Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri in Fate/Zero, Momo Hinamori and Soi Fon in Bleach.

She unsuccessfully tries to get the Black Knights to wait after their first attempt to kill Zero fails thanks to Rolo Lamperouge, and is left standing on the hangar floor when Rolo uses his Geass to escape with Lelouch.
His impatient and impulsive action when trying to find Zero leads to his quick defeat at the hands of Kallen Stadtfeld, who has recently acquired the Guren Mk-II, when he tries to fight Zero at the Battle of Narita.
Kallen Stadtfeld is a fictional character in the Sunrise anime series Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion.
Kallen was awarded 8th place in the 29th Anime Grand Prix, then 17th and 16th, respectively, in the following two.
Both Kallen's stepmother, a Britannian, and biological mother live with her in the same house, but her biological mother is employed as a maid and is often mistreated by both her stepmother and Kallen herself.
Kallen leads a double life as a normal Britannian student and as a member of a guerrilla resistance group against Britannia, which is later reformed into the Order of the Black Knights by Lelouch Lamperouge.
In an interview reported by the anime magazine Newtype USA, seiyu Ami Koshimizu talked about the difficulty of voicing Kallen because of the double life that her character leads.
She unsuccessfully tries to get the Black Knights to wait after their first attempt to kill Zero fails thanks to Rolo Lamperouge, and is left standing on the hangar floor when Rolo uses his Geass to escape with Lelouch.

Kallen makes an appearance in the Another Century's Episode: R video game in her Knightmare Frame, the Guren Mk-II in an alternative event of R2.
In a special OVA parody episode, based on the Alice in Wonderland story, Kallen appears in the role as the March Hare.
It is commonly featured in manga and anime; notable examples of characters who have been depicted wearing it include Haruhi Suzumiya, Kallen Stadtfeld of Code Geass, Bulma of Dragon Ball, and the unnamed protagonist of the Daicon III and IV Opening Animations. The suit is also popularly depicted in anime and manga fan art and merchandise, even for characters who are never seen wearing it in official works.
It focuses on the life of teenage girl Kallen Stadtfeld who becomes a soldier from the organization the Black Knights under Lelouch's leadership to defeat Britannia.

Fly again in this handcrafted wooden C-12 Huron model. Each piece is carved from wood and handpainted to provide a piece you’ll love. The Beechcraft C-12 Huron is the military designation for a series of twin-engine turboprop aircraft based on the Beechcraft Super King Air and Beechcraft 1900. C-12 variants are used by the United States Air Force, United States Army, United States Navy and United States Marine Corps. These aircraft are used for various duties, including embassy support, medical evacuation, as well as passenger and light cargo transport. Some aircraft are modified with surveillance systems for various missions, including the Cefly Lancer, RC-12 Guardrail and Project Liberty programs.
The first C-12A models entered service with the U.S. Army in 1974 and were used as a liaison and general personnel transport. The aircraft was essentially an “off-the-shelf” Super King Air 200, powered by the type’s standard Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-41 engines.
The U.S. Navy followed suit in 1979, ordering a version of the Super King Air A200C (modified with a 52 inch by 52 inch cargo door from the Super King Air 200C), designating it the UC-12B, for logistics support between Naval and Marine Corps air stations, air facilities, and other activities, both in CONUS and overseas. The cabin can readily accommodate cargo, passengers or both. It is also equipped to accept litter patients in medical evacuation missions. Through 1982, the Navy ordered 64 of these aircraft.
US Army C-12 Model Fly with the US Army again in this C-12 model. Each piece is carved from wood and handpainted to provide a piece you’ll love.

Screen Printing San Diego | In the Shop Trenches Hooray!
If you are in San Diego County and you need custom screen printed garments, wouldn’t you type in Screen Printing San Diego? Screen Printing is an art, and in my opinion one of the coolest styles of art out there. The reason being is because it combines the world of art and creativity with the worlds of business and marketing. If this is where your head is at please take some time today to check out our website www.breakout.co/seereviews, and give us a call at 858-513-1799!
When someone is interested in this field of work it is usually because they have a message to get out. This message could be work related, community related, or simply personally related. Some people have art of their own that they want to get out there but don’t want to carry a bunch of canvas’ around or show up on the side of buildings and start blowing up walls to get their message out. What is a healthy, safe, and legal way to get your words, vision, and art out for the world to recognize and appreciate? Walking billboards! Which is essentially what a t shirt is.
This world today has been so overcome by the law and what is wright and what is wrong. Graffiti is a huge part of the art culture and used to be appreciated by every person in the social hierarchy. But now everything has become so cookie cutter that going into the streets and putting your vision out there is “not allowed” or “frowned upon” so us artists have to find a healthy and legal way to spread out message.
I am not against going into the streets and still spreading your message the old school way but being a part of Screen Printing San Diego lately I have learned there are more civil and accepted ways to do that. If anything there are a lot of positives to choosing screen printing over graffiti. In the streets you only get one wall or one overpass, but with Breakout creative you could have 25-1,000 t shirts spreading the same message without any consequences.
Graffiti, canvas work, sculpture, music, theatre, etc. All forms of art. Some you have experienced and some you have not. This article is out for all the artist out there. If you haven’t explored the world of screen printing do some research and explore the world of opportunity…if you stumble across something you fancy please check out the absolute best Screen Printing San Diego has to offer, check out our website, and give us a call at 858-513-1799!

The series of preoperative medical tests that you will undergo are absolutely essential to your care.
An X-ray hip joint (anteroposterior view) - used to measure the size of the head of the femoral component.
A chest X-ray (particularly for patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis) to rule out infection of the respiratory tract e.g. pneumonia or tuberculosis.
The chest X-ray also shows the size of the heart which is increased in cases of congestive cardiac failure (CCF). If this is detected the surgery will probably be considered as too risky.
ECG - electrocardiogram which shows the heart's electrical activity is used to detect any silent myocardial ischemia or infarction and will demonstrate arrhythmias.
Echocardiography - shows the structural and functional capacity of the heart in particular evidence of any valvular diseases and will be carried out if any underlying heart disease is suspected either from a review of your history or on clinical examination.
Pregnancy testing - the need for this test will depend on the risk to the fetus from the surgery or anaesthetic. One of the main concerns that doctors and anesthesiologists have when operating on a pregnant woman is preterm labor. For this reason, pregnant women are advised to delay surgery until the second or, preferably, third trimester.
Urea and electrolytes - to check for any underlying renal deficiency. Your kidneys need to be working well to withstand surgery otherwise there is a high risk they will sustain further damage as a result of intra-operative hypotension(caused by blood loss during surgery) and limited urine output. This test is always recommend in patients over 65 years of age.
Moreover significant uremia(poor renal functioning) will result in decreased platelet activity which will in turn increase the amount of blood lost (as it is slow to coagulate).
High urea levels are also immunesuppressive resulting in infections.
Sickle cell testing (hemoglobin electrophoresis) - this is an essential preoperative medical test for anyone at risk of sickle cell disease (SCD). Patient's with SCD are more likely to undergo a hip replacement (and have it at a younger age) as a result of avascular necrosis of the femoral head.
Because surgery exposes patients to many of the factors that are known to precipitate red blood cell sickling (change of shape), people with SCD undergoing surgery require meticulous clinical care to prevent perioperative sickle cell-related complications such as anemia and localized pain. Sickling is particularly dangerous if it occurs during surgery as these abnormally shaped cells may cling to the vessels and cause pulmonary hypertension and stroke.
Liver function test - this checks for underlying malnourishment and jaundice. If the patient is malnourished then healing will be delayed and there is high morbidity and mortality (sickness and death) in malnourished people undergoing surgery.
Patients with jaundice normally have decreased appetite and nausea this, combined with a tendency to vomit, results in dehydration. Surgery (and anesthesia) are not recommended for patients who are dehydrated as it can result in further deterioration of the kidneys.
Serum potassium assays (tests that measure potassium levels in the blood)- in patients using diuretics or with a history of cardiac arrhythimia.
Diuretics decrease the potassium levels in the blood as they cause an increase in the amount of potassium excreted through the kidneys in urine. Potassium plays an important role in maintaining the rhythm of the heart. If potassium levels are low or high then heart activity is irregular and arrhythmia occurs.
Urinalnaysis - to check for undiagnosed diabetes or urinary tract infection Wound healing is significantly delayed by diabetes.
If the patient is diabetic their blood glucose levels will need to be monitored throughout the procedure and a continuous infusion of insulin given.
Clotting - particularly important for people who take aspirin or warfarin or who have a known clotting disorder. Aspirin is an antiplatelet drug and warfarin is an anticoagulant. That is they function as a blood thinner (aspirin)or increase clotting time (warfarin). It is important that the surgeon is aware of the clotting capacity of the patient's blood.
Group and save (hold) - if the likelihood of needing a blood transfusion is low than your blood will be only be grouped. Serum is also checked for antibodies.
Cross match - with cross matching a sample of the patient's blood is mixed with a sample of donated blood to see if any transfusion reaction occurs.
For a hip replacement both grouping and cross matching are done and a minimum of two pints of blood prepared for transfusion.
FBC - Full Blood count - to check for anemia which can increase the risk of intra-operative hypoxia (lack of oxygen) or increased cardiac workload. Anemaia is also associated with increased risk of myocardial infarction or a cerebrovascular event.
Which Preoperative Medical Tests Do All Hip Replacements Patients Have?
But this may vary between countries and with different surgeons so don't be surprised if your preoperative medical tests are slightly different.
I hope this explanation of why you need to undergo so many preoperative medical tests has been useful.
Personally I found it reassuring to know that the surgical team was looking out for so many possible things that could go wrong and, of course, reassuring when they didn't find any. I hope that's the same for you too.

There is no doubt in any environmentally aware person’s mind that recycling is helping the planet and us too. As we all know, recycling is a form of waste management, involving the conversion of waste and other used materials into reusable products. Recycling comes with certain benefits for the environment, but it is also met with its fair share of criticism. Recycling sometimes drastically elicits diverse opinions and responses from different people. The actual definition and process of recycling are relatively straightforward. However, there is often a lot of debate surrounding its overall effectiveness for the long term. Moreover, many people still wonder whether it is the best solution for managing waste, given its disadvantages. Today, we will take a look at the top 4 advantages and also disadvantages of recycling and learn more about the process to make better-educated life choices.
The modern world has to deal with large levels of pollution – most of them coming from industrial waste. The recycling of plastics, cans, papers, rubber, and chemicals leads to a sensible cut back on pollution because these waste products are reused rather than just being thrown away recklessly.
There is a catch with recycling of waste products and materials, and we still need to tackle it the right way. To recycle any byproducts, be they plastic, glass, paper, used electronics and so on, we need specially built facilities. Some products destined to recycling go back to their manufacturers for repurposing, while others go to special new factories for total recycling.
All these facilities and factories consume energy, emit gases, and produce waste. In other words, even though we recycle some things, we may still be polluting the air, water, and using extra resources. Recycling is not cost-effective, and this is one of the biggest disadvantages of recycling, but we will get there in a minute.
The first and most used example is that of paper and plastic. Recycling paper means less use of trees and therefore, less deforestation. This causes cleaner air and safer environments for entire ecosystems and habitats to enjoy. Recycling plastic also means fewer landfills, less water pollution, and less soil damage – a result that leads to safer environments for humans and wildlife as well. Following these examples, the world is trying to recycle and repurpose other natural resources to better conserve the environment.
One of the biggest disadvantages of recycling is that it consumes large capital and does not generate returns. Recycling plants and factories can come with massive up-front costs, as we have to build them, make them work, and provide them with equipment. Moreover, recyclable products need proper storing, while recycled goods go through the same process as new goods: storing, transportation, etc.
Establishing new recycling protocols can be extremely expensive, and recycling organizations and investors need time to see their investment returning. In the meanwhile, they do have to manage the waste storage. Recycling comes with additional costs as well: buying different kinds of utility equipment and vehicles, upgrading the recycling unit, waste, and chemical disposal and educating people into recycling.
The recycling of old materials into reusable products enormously reduces the possibility of choking of landfill sites. This is beneficial because it helps minimize land and water pollution since landfills contribute tremendously to environmental degradation.
If recycling means just putting waste products into the right bin and not giving another thought, there is bad news for you. All the trash we recycle has to be transported and processed somewhere. This means that all those recycling sites, facilities, and factories are veritable toxic landfills – unhealthy, unsafe, and unsightly.
Many times, a recycling facility is an endless heap of trash that entertains bacteria, disease, gases, and other unsafe conditions. Moreover, as we said, recycling facilities are industrial ones – coming with their share of broad water, air, and soil pollution. It’s no wonder that debate ensues when pollution by recycling almost matches in intensity the pollution of producing new goods.
Recycling guarantees that we use existing resources sensibly and sustainably. The recycling process lessens the possibility of discriminate use of raw materials when they are obtainable in huge supply. We encourage recycling from lower levels, for instance, our own homes, schools, and small-sized organizations. Governments also encourage recycling at global levels. This means that manufacturing industries can leave existing natural resources for exploitation by future generations without affecting current production.
In the best of worlds, we would all embrace the concept of recycling and the goods coming out of it. It is true that recycling saves resources for future generations as it uses the already existing ones (eliminating the need for deforestation, mining, petroleum extraction, and so on). However, the world still has some issues with the goods coming out of recycling plants. They may be low-priced, but let us face it. When you go shopping for running shoes, you do not think twice before buying a new pair rather than one made from a huge pile of repurposed trash.
Recycled products are clearly of lower quality and durability than new products. Moreover, the demand for recycled products is still very low on a global level. Just because households, schools, and some companies recycle does not mean that the world is keen on buying and consuming goods from recycling plants. One of the biggest disadvantages of recycling, when people do not get involved, puts recycling more on the side of whims.
Recycling has tremendous benefits, and while nobody denies them, it’s also true that we have to deal with its drawbacks. It does save the planet, but this practice generates slow results for long periods of time with little visibility. Taking each piece of trash to the dedicated bin does not mean we can solve the problem of massive industrial-level waste. For recycling to become more cost-efficient, we need more global awareness regarding the consumption of recycled goods. The disadvantages of recycling may be overcome if we engage more and become more and more environmentally aware.

^ Because He buys far too many Bogarts??
He was deleted as part of a tidy up in the back-end I performing, his comments and are still attributed to him and he wasn't banned.
So just out of curiosity...how long does a person need to be inactive before they are deleted?
I dunno, one minute before he was due back would be about right.
That was the mistake that allowed him to come back.
It looks like a good time for Chris to return. He can replace the room on the forum I have left vacant. He replies well but you need to encourage him to post some new threads also.
Just out of curiosity why weren't The Horror Quiz ( 3.4K ) , The Science Fiction Quiz ( 3.3K ), Actresses Legs Quiz ( 2.7 K ) and War Movies Quiz ( 2.5k ) included in the top ten ? I know you guys aren't that keen on quizzes but really ?
That possibly could turn my disposition from being a grumpy person to a happy little vegemite. I'll wait and see if the proof is in the pudding.
I am about to start a vacation from participating in the forum as at now for an undecided period of time. I need to have a rest.
If you do that, the posting on the forum will decline 90% (at least).
Don't make a snap decision.
Thanks Bruce for being part of the small amount of support that I have received.
I dont understand why the second image is incorrect...surely it can fit much much more and reduce the average diaper changes per day (ADCPD)?
Bruce is also an active supporter of food fights, his judgement turns to custard most days.
Overall I must have been doing something right with quizzes.
Is Outing 'In Forum' To Be Allowed?
There Are Australian Daybill & One Sheets Existing For These Films.
Of course we hope our four advertisers, (support them as your first preference when shopping online) feel they are getting their money's worth, page views steadily increase each month - up around 50K each month (last month: 53,760).
I wouldn't place too much significance on Page Views. Its possible that many of these page views could be someone staying for just a second or two. To me, the more important thing would be the number of people who actually participate in a discussion or thread.
Despite that, I think that this forum is the best of all of the movie poster forums.
I wouldn't place too much significance on Page Views. Its possible that many of these page views could be someone staying for just a second or two.
Actually unlike some others such as that old mpf who use bulletin based forum software, our count is the number who click through (one level) and deducts the search engine crawls which other sites tend to count (actually ours doesn't deduct it, it just doesn't count them). Also our site only counts human visitors eg when it says 'X' number of guests (left column) that is a human not a robot crawling the site. But true we don't have a 'time served count'.
To me, the more important thing would be the number of people who actually participate in a discussion or thread.
Thanks John, that means a lot to us (Matt told me to say that), we are a work in progress.
The magical 600...so, where's my prize?
Im throwing down my only Quad from my favorite movie of all time!

Describe the advantages and disadvantages of living in a large city.
Nowadays, large cities are becoming more and more inhabited. The majority of the population prefer living in a big town mainly because of the great advantages it has compared to living in the countryside. However, what are the benefits of this situation, and what are the drawbacks? In this essay, I will explore the pros and cons of living in a large city and try to draw some conclusions.
Let’s start looking at the advantages. One of the main positives of a big town is the large amount of shops available in every corner of the city. What I mean by this is that whenever you live, there are some useful stores like supermarkets, banks, tobacconists and clothing stores where you can easily buy everything you need without going to the city center. Secondly, living in a big town is a big challenge for evening parties. In London, for example, there are so many things to do in the evenings like going to the cinema, to the pub or to the park during the summer period.
Turning to the other side of the argument, traffic could be one of the major disadvantages of living in a big city. Many people take the car everyday and it has also been proved that the majority of the families have at least two cars. This means that you have to deal with rush-hour traffic on your way to work and on your way back. In addition, in a big town there is consequently a lot of smog and this can really affect people’s health.
To sum up, living in a big city has great advantages but also some significant negatives.You have to weigh up to the pros of enjoying evenings’ nights outside and the availability of many shops and the cons of cope with smog and traffic issues. Personally, I believe that the benefits of enjoying the city-life and the comfort of having shops at every corner, eventually overweigh the negatives.
Please comment on my essay about the advantages and disadvantages of living in a large city.
Your essay should fetch 5.5-6.0 band.
THERE ARE MANY AREAS OF INCOHERENCE AND FLOW.
A well- written essay with many brilliant points. However, you could write more advantages and disadvantages for it though. Overall, I found it quite useful. Thanks.
you can probably also give a solution for the disadvantages????!!!!!
No, you should not give solutions.
The essay specifically asks you to write about advantages and disadvantages.
If you start writing about solutions you will likely be marked down not addressing the task properly.
good essay, very useful for school compositions and good reasons given for the advantages and disadvantages of living in a city.
oh thank you so much it help me a lot. now i can share it to others!!
I think your writing is very useful for students who want to write the easy.
Wow what a wonderful essay. Anybody helped you?
The essay was great. It helped me a big deal with my home work but the essay was very short with one advantage only! So watch out! But I am afraid to say it was superb!
You must tell more uesful things to let them know how to live in the large city or something.
But that is pretty good.
Your essay can help for my exam.
This is such a huge honour.
The disadvantages were good and also the advantages.
Your essay has written in intermediate level. I have taken several ideas from your essay. Good luck! now I am writing an essay the same topic as yours.
I achieved a lot from it which helped me in my course. So thank u..
You did an excellent job. keep it up.I wish you will write more better than this. This helped me a lot my teachers were impressed by me.
I think you should write more about disadvantages because there are a lot more than that!!!!
Essay is well written. Easy to understand,but there are many more important points that could be written here. Like about pollution in city because of the industries.
it is a superb essay. After writing the essay I got the appreciation from my teachers. Thanks for the essay.
That was kind of embarrassing you should try a littler harder next time.
Good essay with good vocabulary i like that very much!
Good but maybe a little more facts. Still good though.
It is very good essay.
very good! helped a lot, thanks for everything !!
i just loved it.The last line or the conclusion was well thought and a wonderful essay was put up by you.
i think there are many cons rather than many pros.
Thanks that helped a lot for my debate at school.
The points in the essay were very good yet i have a major issue I found. In the first paragraph, I found the language quite chatty. Nonetheless, well done!
check again how many details, i.e advantages are there?. You need to put more zit to your work.
It was a good attempt though but keep trying.
Like what another user said (back in 2015 lol), you could have added more advantages/disadvantages of living in a city. Obviously by now, you would have improves a lot more, because it's 2018.
The way you written the essay is very nice, I like it and thanks for making this essay, it is very helpful for me and for anyone who read this, thanks.

I promised a brief report on the Glasgow meeting of June 26-28. In reviewing my notes--necessarily fragmentary, because of the many concurrent sessions--I would say that the meeting more than lived up to its global billing. More than forty speakers from a dozen countries presented papers on topics ranging from khat to cocaine. What most impressed me, though, was the variety of approaches. James Nicholls, for example, used political philosophy as a frame for prohibition history, showing how the policy evoked fundamental problems and tensions within the liberal tradition. Alex Kreit did something similar with the U.S. drug war by making explicit its contradictory impulses (reconcilable, I think, at the level of authoritarian psychology) to protect and punish the young. Aija Kaartinen used journalistic and voting evidence to reconstruct ethnocultural and gender patterns of support for and opposition to prohibition in Finland. Harry Yi-Jui Wu combined ethnographic and fragmentary epidemiological evidence to tell the story of alcoholism among indigenous Formosan peoples after World War II. Psychologist Bruce Alexander used ethnohistory and a natural experiment to argue that cultural destruction, not alcohol per se, was the real killer of indigenous Canadians. Rami Regavim looked at opium in Iran through the lens of economic history, stressing its production and its importance as a source of government revenue. Dan Malleck evoked Weber, Foucault, and the photographic record to interpret attempts to manage respectable drinking in Ontario in the 1930s and 1940s. I left the three-day meeting feeling as if I had just completed, on a crash-course basis, a particularly ambitious graduate methods seminar. I take this as a sign of the maturation of the field and its continued appeal across disciplines.
The business meeting was well attended. I reported that it was still uncertain where the next meeting would be held. A meeting in China is one possibility, if funding and other issues can be resolved; the University of Buffalo is another possibility, though it is only in the early stages of discussion. Dan Malleck reported on the status of the journal, solicited volunteers for the post of treasurer, and asked if anyone was interested in the possibility of starting an ADHS group blog. (A much fuller statement of this idea, prepared by Joseph Spillane, appears on the ADHS members' listserv. Joe would have made the presentation himself, but he could not attend the meeting in person.) Scott Martin announced that the organizers of the Policy History Conference (meeting in Columbus, Ohio, June 3-June 6, 2010) are keenly interested in papers and panels on alcohol and drug policy history. Other meetings mentioned included a conference on drug policy and history in El Paso, Texas, in September 2009 (Chuck Ambler can provide details), the annual ADHS sessions at the AHA meeting in San Diego, January 7-10, 2010, and a conference on Intoxicants and Intoxication in Cultural and Historical Perspective will be held in Christ's College, Cambridge, July 20-July 22, 2010. In short, opportunities galore.
The facilities at the University of Strathclyde were excellent. The reception at the Glasgow City Chambers, the conference dinner at the Arta Restaurant, and the tour of the Glengoyne Distillery were wet, sociable, and memorable. None of this would have been possible without the splendid organizing work of Patricia Barton and James Mills and support from the ADHS, the Centre for the Social History of Health and Healthcare, the Wellcome Trust, and the Bowling Green State University Graduate Program in Public Policy. I know that I speak for all the attendees in extending thanks to these individuals and organizations.
Formerly known as the Alcohol and Temperance History Group, the ADHS is an international group of alcohol, temperance, and drug history scholars. Formerly published as The Social History of Alcohol Review, the SHAD is a scholarly annual featuring peer-reviewed scholarly articles. Please explore the links on the left to learn more about the group and our journal.
The center column of the main page consists of the society's daily weblog. Each post provides information about news, publications, including book reviews, book chapters, and online articles, or other resources of interests for those who study the history of alcohol and drugs. Each post is filed under one or more "categories" that describe its topical or geographical focus. By clicking on the "category" links at the right, you can easily sort the content of the weblog. On every category page, the posts are sorted from new to old. This makes it easy to view only the material that has been posted since the last time you visited the website.
The site will be moderated by the Web Editor. To contribute to the site, please send an email to Matthew McKean, with the complete details of your post, including full bibliographic information, web links, and email addresses, where necessary. The Web Editor will add your post to the site on your behalf.
This project replaces, and may soon incorporate, the current literature feature from the print journal and the annotated bibliographies from the old Alcohol and Temperance History Group website.
The SHAD is a peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to publishing high-quality original academic research, reflection essays and reviews in the field of alcohol and drug history, broadly construed. We invite authors from a range of disciplines to submit papers on the wide range of topics within the journal’s purview.
General topics include the manufacture, prohibition, consumption and regulation of alcohol, drugs (recreational, pharmaceutical etc), tobacco, coffee, and so on. The disciplinary focus can be broad, from economic, business, political, social, cultural history, to sociology, anthropology and criminology. The journal remains a history journal, however, so the main focus of the papers need to be historical.
The editors are also open to suggestion for special thematic issues. These suggestions should include an idea of whom we could approach as guest editors.
SHAD is published under the auspices of the Alcohol and Drug History Society (ADHS) twice annually, in the Fall (Issue 1) and in the Spring (Issue 2) of each year.
To submit a paper, authors should submit either three copies of a printed manuscript by regular mail or one digital version in MS Word or WordPerfect format to the Editor-in-Chief. Digital copies are preferred, and will usually be evaluated much more quickly than hard copy submissions. We aspire to have decisions to the authors within one or two months of paper submission.
For more information, please contact Dan Malleck, editor-in-chief of SHAD at the email address listed below, or view the society’s website, at the URL listed below.
Volume 21, Number 2 is now available for download through the links on the left.
The Social History of Alcohol and Drugs: an Interdisciplinary Journal, vol. 22, no. 2 (Spring 2008) has been published. Under the guest editorship of Catherine Carstairs and Norman Smith, this SHAD issue presents nine papers from "Global Aproaches," the fourth international alcohol and drug history conference, held in August 2007 at the University of Guelph in Canada. The issue also includes seven book reviews. The cover features an old Bayer ad that promotes several health aids including heroin (good for coughs).

Issued in 1993, this second version of the Cambridge model was mainly portrayed as The Old Bookshop and The Gift Shop. For Christmas 1993 and 1994 only, Hazle painted a few as The Gift Box. Virtually all the shop fronts for these were a yellowy cream hue.
