Art supplies

For all of the art majors who worry about post-Luther life, they can find inspiration from successful artist and Luther College 1979 graduate, Robyn Sand Anderson.

Anderson is a watercolor artist who has been commissioned to create works for several individuals and a variety of organizations. She is also an art teacher who recently opened her own school, Sand Studio/School of Art and Design in New Ulm, Minn. to teach all ages.

Anderson's watercolor paintings will be displayed in the Center for Faith and Life until Oct. 17, and that venue could not have been a better fit for her work. The strongest theme in Anderson's show is Christian faith, which is the bedrock for the CFL's existence.

Christian images such as the cross and white doves are rather subtle glimpses into her background, compared to other more abstract pieces that are juxtaposed with a text of Biblical excerpts.

While all of her pieces employ colors that seem to be straight from the paint tube, like cobalt blue and cadmium red, her abstract pieces display the brightest, deepest colors to give us a clue of her passionate connection to Christian faith and scripture.

Anderson's strongest abstract work is her interpretation of Genesis 1:1-4, which essentially says, "God divided the light from the darkness."

One can't help but be struck by the bright, bold colors; she uses orange, yellow and red to create a sort of falling blaze of fire in the middle of the piece surrounded by bright hues of green and blue.

When painting with watercolor, there is no white paint, so to create white, the white paper has to be left unpainted. In Genesis, every inch of the paper is covered with paint, definitely making it stand out in her show.

Intermingled with abstract images inspired by biblical passages, Anderson included representational watercolors of nature and people, which also employ bright colors.

She said, "I hope to enhance the human experience by the use of color and design, to draw the viewer's attention to all that is around us.what we consider the ordinary."

"I have always taken delight in noticing beautiful color and shape in the environment around me. Growing up in Decorah gave me constant natural beauty.what intrigues me the most is capturing ordinary human moments."

Check out this show if you are interested in viewing Anderson's take on Christianity or her portrayal of ordinary beauty.

Also, come to inspect Anderson's technical use of watercolor painting, a difficult medium that can produce wide-ranging results.

Lastly, if you would like to take an opportunity to meet with Anderson, her gallery reception is on Saturday, Oct. 16 at 11 a.m. in the Center for Faith and Life.

Luther Senior Art Show

Ashely Dull's senior show, "God's Nature Through My Eyes," will be in the Union Gallery until Oct. 22. In her show, Dull artistically expresses appreciation for beauty she finds in nature. She uses prints, oil paints, watercolors and chalk to capture colorful, life-like images of nature.

Titles of the works are verses from the Bible, which help describe each the piece and show Dull's connection with faith and art.

Dull intends for her work "to inspire people to take a look at God's beauty in nature and not take those gifts for granted."

"Art is creating something out of nothing and shaping something into something else"

Throughout the centuries people have debated and discussed the meaning of various art forms and styles and what type of art deserves the title "art" to begin with.

The truth is that everything that was ever created no matter by who or what deserves to be called "art". Art is creation. Creation is art.

I remember that at university the guys that could talk about their works of art in the most articulate and intelligent manner got the best marks for their creations.
That implies that only intent breathes life into a creation.
If one takes this further, one can say that it is not a matter of intent, but a matter of interpretation. This applies at least to academic art.
Of course it does seem a rather subjective business and sometimes if I ask people coming from other fields of occupation what they think of certain art works they either say "I like it" or " I think it's ghastly" etc. and then they add with a shoulder shrug " but I'm not an expert or an art connoisseur anyway".
That makes me wonder if there is an unwritten law that commands people to have a diploma in fine arts before they are allowed to make a legitimate statement of their own opinion or perception.
And will a "Monet" or a "Turner" or a "Michelangelo" be less perfect if there are critics who rip their creations apart or if there are people who haven't studied arts and can't talk about them in an educated way but "purely" admire their art?

Some say that the more room for interpretation there is, the greater the piece of art- alluding to abstract art being the most sophisticated and demanding in comparison.
But who says that i.e. abstract painting necessarily leaves more room for interpretation than other techniques? Van Gogh's "Night café" for example is very concrete, yet, it leaves lots of room for interpretation and imagination.

Things are never just what they appear to be.

Is it possible that art only deserves to be called art as soon as it enters an art- gallery? Or as soon as it's created by a famous artist?
That certainly plays a significant role at least in the sector of public opinion and marketing. General recognition seems to enhance the value of a certain art phenomenon or artist.

What is art? When is art art? And which art is "better" than the other? .Questions that will never be fully answered and that will always be discussed and argued about.

Why is it that a painting gorilla earns a lot of cash for his pictures and some of his human colleagues who have studied painting for years go with empty pockets?

How come that a famous British artist gets headlines and cash for fasting publicly in a glass container while others die from hunger and nobody even heard of them? What makes the fasting of the one "arty" and the dieing from hunger of the other "mundane"? Is it because the one calls himself "artist"? If so, is then everything that he does "art"?

Art cannot be defined.
It is like a fish that slips out of your hands back into the water just as you thought you caught it.

Still- a rainbow is a perfect piece of art in the most perfect colours, shape and form. So is a drop of water or a pebble.
and a pebble is never quite the same when it was touched by the Master.

Everyone is doing it - scrapbooking that is - and you think you'd like to give it a try, too. However, you're really not sure what the difference is between a scrapbook and a traditional photo album. You're also not sure what supplies you'll need. A quick lesson on the essentials of scrapbooking will bring you right up to speed.

Modern scrapbooks are different from traditional photo albums in a few respects. They hold both photographs and memorabilia. For that reason they are sometimes referred to as memory books. There is also an emphasis on writing, or journaling, in scrapbooking. Each scrapbook should tell a story.

Scrapbooks are also more aesthetically pleasing than traditional photo albums. Attention is paid to the layout of the pages. Often, pages are decorated with colorful paper and stickers, although this is not necessary.

The biggest distinction between a modern scrapbook and a traditional photo album is the emphasis on the preservation of the photos and memories. The albums, papers, pens, and adhesives should all be photo safe. Photo safe is a term that means that the materials used in creating a scrapbook are designed to do the least amount of long term damage on your photos and memorabilia. Damage includes fading, yellowing, and a degradation of the paper the photos or memorabilia are printed on.

Because of this emphasis on preservation, specific, specialized supplies are required when scrapbooking. These supplies can be purchased at many art supply stores, specialty scrapbooking stores or from many online retailers.

The supplies you will need to create your first scrapbook are:

Photos and memorabilia - Before beginning any album you should have its contents organized. You may want to do a themed album (baby, wedding, vacation, etc.) or a chronological family album. Either way, having the album's contents collected before you begin will help you complete your album more efficiently.

A photo safe album - The album you purchase should be free from acid and lignin (a substance in wood that will turn paper unstable and cause it to yellow). It should also be the correct size for the project you are tackling. This is where having your photos and memorabilia organized beforehand comes in handy. If you're creating a brag book for grandma of her new grandchild, a small album that has only one or two photos per page may be appropriate. If you're chronicling your child's athletic career and have large newspaper clippings, a larger album would be the appropriate choice.

A photo trimmer - Photo trimmers come in handy to crop out any unwanted parts of a photograph or to trim decorative paper. They do the job quickly and neatly.

A good pair of scissors - There are some jobs the photo trimmer just can't do. A good, sharp pair of scissors will come in handy.

Photo safe pens - Special pens are sold that are created to be photo safe. Look for pens that say "acid free", "photo safe" or "archival quality" on them.

A photo safe adhesive - Special tape and other adhesives that are photo safe should be purchased.
Page protectors - Page protectors are photo safe plastic covers that slip over completed pages. Some albums come with them. If yours does not, buy them.

Decorative papers and stickers - These are not essential to creating an album, but many people involved in scrapbooking like to embellish their pages with them.

Once you've gathered all your supplies, you are ready to get to work. If you need a little inspiration, you can find ideas for your scrapbook on internet sites, in scrapbooking magazines, and from other scrap-bookers.

This article was produced for http://www.Lostcrafts.com , a site which is dedicated to preserving the crafts and trades of yesterday.

One of the quickest and more effective ways to expose your art or crafts to
the public is by opening a booth at an art or craft show. Thousands of people
come to these art shows each year with the intention of buying something, and
there doesn't appear to be an end in sight.

Before you pack your bags and head out to the next show, you should definitely
learn as much as you can about art shows. This type of work requires planning,
research and various expenses, and may not be for everyone.

A great starting point is to visit http://www.sunshineartist.com. Sunshine
Artist is a great magazine that covers art shows in detail. They provide listings
of upcoming art shows and information on how you can participate. They also
evaluate art shows and provide reports on sales, attendance, and other important
details.

It may be a good idea to head out to your first art show as a visitor before
actually setting up shop. Once you arrive, walk around and just observe how
everything works. Observe the booths that have the most traffic and see what
they are doing right. Introduce yourself to the booth owner and see if they
are open to talking about their success with you. As long as they are not in
direct competition with you, they should be happy to give you some pointers.

When you sell your work at an art show you are selling directly to the public.
You make all of the profit. There is no need to share a huge percentage with
an agent or gallery owner.

It is probably best to sell items at various prices to accommodate the different
buyers that come to your booth. If you typically sell paintings for thousands
of dollars, offer smaller, more affordable prints as well. This way, your art
can be available to everyone.

Make sure you can accept credit cards. Many people who visit art shows pay
by credit card. If you aren't set up to accept credit cards, then you will more
than likely lose sales.

Setting up and running a booth at an art show can be challenging. Bring a family
member or friend along to help you set up and help customers. It's also nice
to have someone to keep you company and provide support and encouragement.

Art and Craft shows are a great way to build a customer mailing list. Set up
a little section at your booth inviting customers and browsers to provide you
with their name, address, and email address. Next time you attend an art show,
you can send out a mailer to your list. You can also let your mailing list know
about any new art or crafts you have for sale. It may not be easy to build a
mailing list, as people are a bit hesitant when it comes to parting with personal
information. To entice people to join, you can offer something for free. You
could create small color postcard prints of your work and put them in inexpensive
frames and give those away to each subscriber.

Make sure you keep track of your expenses and sales. You want to determine
if you actually made a profit, otherwise you may have to make adjustments or
possibly not attend the same art show again.

Don't get discouraged if you don't make a huge profit your first time out.
Like I said in the beginning, art shows may not be for every artist. Many artists
sell at art shows exclusively, while others only use art shows once in a while
for marketing purposes.

your art? Visit http://www.sellingartnews.com

This article is for all the moms, dads, grandparents and childcare providers who are trying to stretch their dollars and still provide fun activities and supplies for the children. Below you will find 20 recipes for homemade art supplies including play dough, modeling clay, paint, slime, goop, glitter, sidewalk chalk, papier-mâché (paper mache) and multi-colored crayons.

* * *

Homemade Art Supply List
Along with a good supply of crayons, markers, chalk and lots of paper, your children (or grandchildren) will also love playing with these homemade art supplies and games. You can purchase many of them at the store, but why not save some money and teach your child how to be even more creative by making their own supplies?

Children love seeing how things are made, and they love the time you will be spending with them while making these projects. If you don't have kids at home, try making up a batch of something just for yourself, I won't tell if you don't!

I have been collecting these recipes for 13 years, many of them are scribbled on a scratch piece of paper. Enjoy!

Glitter

SUGAR LAND, TX--(Marketwire - June 4, 2008) - "Peak oil" refers to the inevitable maximum in global oil production. Oil is a finite, non-renewable resource. The rate of oil extraction and refining is currently about 84 million barrels per day. Theoretically, after half of the reserves are used, oil production is likely to stop growing and begin a terminal decline. Peak oil does not mean that oil will run out, but it would cause a permanent switch from a buyer's market to a seller's market with strong price and economic consequences.
In that light, hear world-renowned economist Dr. Arthur Laffer's answer to Dan Frishberg's key question: "Even though we're using less, oil prices have continued to rise. Have we reached peak oil?"
Dr. Laffer: "No. What you have, Daniel, is growth and demand for oil had been rising for years and years, and all of a sudden when it hit the limits here, the price went sharply up. All of a sudden, you're hitting a finite amount of the refining capacities, tankers, oil wells -- all of that stuff. You have the emerging markets all using oil and you've had very steady increases in the demand for oil. Now the demand leveled off and then started coming down sharply in the U.S.
"When the price of oil was $18.50 a barrel, the refining and the exploration for new oil was way down because it wasn't profitable, you had a lot of excess capacity, and prices were very low. Then once the price of oil starts up, you do start more exploration; you do start more refining; you do start building more tankers; but frankly that takes a long time.
"In the developing world, the governments have subsidized oil consumption. This is in India, in China, in Indonesia. I think a third or a half of the world's oil is heavily subsidized by governments, and as the price went up, Daniel, those subsidies became very expensive, and now some are removing those subsidies. I think you're going to see a fairly sharp change in the demand for oil in those countries.
It hasn't happened in India and you know China has been subsidizing its oil a lot. Russia has a 90% profits tax on the oil in there. What are your incentives for going out and drilling oil in Russia? Well, they're dropping it sharply over the next year, which should lead to a lot more exploration and a lot more oil production. So these things, which naturally take a long time -- when the government intervenes, it takes even longer."
So don't listen to peak oil fear-mongers. Stay tuned to BizRadio's MoneyMan and http://www.industrialinfo.com/radio/index.jsp Industrialinfo.com Radio for energy news and trends.

Strong Market Demand in AC Confirmed from Customers
LITTLETON, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ADA-ES, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADES) (“ADA” or “the Company”) is providing an update on the development of its state-of-the-art facility to produce activated carbon (AC) for use in capturing mercury from coal-fired power plants. While current demand for AC is based on state mercury emissions regulations for existing plants and strict emissions standards required for new coal-fired power plants, the expected enactment of new Federal mercury control regulations should accelerate the growth of future demand for AC.
On May 28th, ADA received notification from the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality that it had approved the permit to construct and operate a facility producing up to 350 million pounds per year of activated carbon in Red River Parish in Northwest Louisiana. “The timely issuance of this permit reflects the high level of environmental controls we designed for this facility,” stated Dr. Michael Durham, President & CEO of ADA.
In May, the Company received feedback from its engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor about potential cost increases and schedule delays. The cost increases are due to recent escalation in both labor and worldwide commodity prices. ADA is working with the EPC contractor to evaluate options to minimize costs and schedule impacts. The process may take a few months before ADA can finalize a contract with firm fixed pricing and guaranteed completion dates needed to secure project financing. The Company continues to target commencement of operations of the facility in the first quarter 2010.
The Company is also in the process of negotiating agreements to support facility operations, including feedstock supply. Redundant coal supply options are required to satisfy security requirements for project financing. ADA is also negotiating terms for the purchase of the site and resolving other site access provisions that are needed prior to mobilization.
In addition to the activities above, securing the debt financing for the project requires that ADA obtain commitments for long-term take-or-pay contracts for the AC from the plant. In that regard, the Company recently announced its first large AC contract with a major utility with a total value in excess of $35 million.
Dr. Durham stated, “The market for AC is confirmed by the high level of activity in requests from power companies for proposals. We are continuing discussions with several companies and negotiating significant long-term supply contracts for AC. If successful, these contracts are expected to provide sufficient cash flows to support the project debt structure.”
He went on to say, “Earlier this year, we announced the internal selection of the strategic partner to provide the equity financing required to complete the project. We had expected transaction agreements, which provided for a cash investment at the project level and the purchase of ADES equity, to be completed by this time. However, the timing of the EPC contract and coal supply negotiations have delayed completing these agreements pending finalization of the capital structure requirements for the project.. The prospective strategic partner is working closely with ADA in all aspects of this project development effort.”
Dr. Durham continued, “Our overall plans to supply AC to the power industry involves providing AC prior to start up of the new production facility. This spring, ADA entered into an agreement to acquire the U.S.-based assets of an AC processing facility and is finalizing a supply agreement for foreign AC with quantities increasing to over 20 million pounds during 2009. We are currently procuring additional AC processing equipment and negotiating larger supply commitments to enable us to expand capacity up to 30 to 50 million pounds of AC per year by 2010. In the first test of ADA’s brominated AC produced from this facility, 90% mercury capture was achieved at a full-scale power plant. A number of additional tests are being scheduled to allow clients to evaluate this product.”
Dr. Durham concluded, “Despite some delays, this project continues to progress. Both our utility customers and our prospective strategic partner recognize the magnitude of the mercury control market for AC and the need for new AC production plants such as ours to help fill the gap created by this new market. We remain committed to the success of this new business line and the significant opportunity this market represents for ADA.”
About ADA-ES
Headquartered in Littleton, CO, ADA-ES is a leader in clean coal technology and the associated specialty chemicals. The Company develops and implements proprietary environmental technology and specialty chemicals that enable coal-fueled power plants to enhance existing air pollution control equipment, maximize capacity and improve operating efficiencies.

Additionally, the Company is implementing plans to produce and supply activated carbon.
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which provides a "safe harbor" for such statements in certain circumstances. The forward-looking statements included in this release include statements regarding expected enactment of new Federal regulations and resulting increased demand, potential cost increases and delays with respect to the AC facility, value of the AC contract with a major utility and the ability to secure long-term AC supply contracts to support the project's debt structure. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates, projections, beliefs and assumptions of our management. Such statements involve significant risks and uncertainties. Actual events or results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including but not limited to, availability of financing and an acceptable site for and changes in the costs and timing of construction of the planned AC facility; availability of raw materials and treatment and storage facilities; changes in laws or regulations; changing prices, economic conditions and market demand; our ability to secure necessary permits and other approvals; operational difficulties; successful negotiation of a site purchase agreement; availability of skilled personnel and other factors discussed in greater detail in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kyocera Solar, Inc. announced today it has partnered with Zacher Homes and American Solar Electric to bring solar electric systems to Central Arizona’s mainstream luxury housing market as a standard feature.
The custom homebuilder’s three new, all-solar, single-family housing developments in north-central Phoenix will feature solar electric systems on each home incorporating state-of-the-art Kyocera solar modules.
“Kyocera Solar is very pleased to partner with Zacher Homes and American Solar Electric on this environmentally friendly residential project,” said Tom Dyer, senior vice president of marketing and government affairs for Kyocera Solar, Inc. “The use of solar electric systems as a new home construction standard is the next step in Kyocera’s environmental commitment to provide solar energy to the world.”
Construction on the three upscale developments – Maryland Lofts, Uptown 802, and The Brownstones on Marlette – began in October 2007 and the first houses at Maryland will be completed in October 2008. Collectively titled the City Series, the developments share similar design themes. Advance sales have officially begun and walk-through viewings will start in July.
Each 1,700-square foot to 3,300-square foot home will feature a 2.0 kilowatt solar electric system using Kyocera’s high-output 205-watt modules. About 3,500 kilowatt-hours of electricity will be generated annually by each system. For homeowners, this translates into an annual energy savings of about $400 at today’s rates ― plus the invaluable peace of mind that comes from using renewable energy. Additional eco-friendly features include concrete block construction, high-efficiency insulation, natural gas heating, energy-saving dual-pane windows, digital thermostats and real-time power meters.
A Fronius IG Personal Display meter will enable homeowners to monitor their own power use, energy output, carbon dioxide offset and “dollars saved” from using solar electric systems installed on the flat foam roofs with reflective coatings.
Each City Series home’s solar electric system will be designed and installed by solar integrator American Solar Electric, also based in Scottsdale, Ariz. “American Solar Electric is proud to support the development of Zacher’s new communities, featuring Kyocera solar modules, with our local design and construction expertise,” said Sean Seitz, president of American Solar Electric.
“By incorporating energy conservation and on-site energy generation, the City Series represents a much-needed commitment to high-efficiency homebuilding that homeowners will appreciate for years to come,” Seitz stated.

Mid-market distributors operate in a highly data-intensive environment. The ability to use up-to-date information to track stocks, shipments, and for sales support can be a tremendous advantage in a tightening marketplace.
“There is such a premium on time and resources in today’s distribution environment,” adds Heatherington. “We’re committed to providing an edge to our clients, allowing them to respond more quickly and with complete confidence that decisions are being based on facts.”

"We are delighted to bring onboard the pain management expertise of Dr. Rosche," said Seth Gillman, Administrator of Passages Hospice. "Controlling pain and keeping patients comfortable are important aspects of care in the hospice setting. There are now many new, non-invasive pain management modalities that Dr. Rosche brings to our patients that increase their comfort level while also preserving quality of life. This is another way to deliver state-of-the-art care to our patients and reassure families that their loved one is in good hands."
At Advanced Pain Intervention, Dr. Rosche is assisted by Leeetta Stumph, RN, OCN, a Pain Resource Nurse with 33 years' experience in oncology.
"Many physicians have the erroneous view that terminally ill patients need to be drugged until they die, but that's not the case at all," observed Stumph. "By controlling pain, patients receive quality of life and can complete things they still want to do before dying. We recently had a patient who planned a beautiful wedding for herself, while she was terminally ill, and was able to get married before she died two weeks later."
Dr. Rosche added that pain and suffering are debilitating whether they are associated with end-of-life issues or not.
"Over the last 10 years, pain management has seen tremendous advancements," noted Dr. Rosche. "When patients' pain is controlled without dulling their central nervous system and helping them remain more clear-headed, they can interact with their loved ones, find something important to do, and gain a higher quality of life because their pain suffering has been significantly decreased."
Although pain can be present in many end-stage illnesses, it is a particularly prevalent symptom of cancer. Cancerous growths can place pressure on nerves and crowd internal organs and tissue. Recent research indicates that 64% of patients with advanced, terminal cancer report pain. And, patients diagnosed with head and neck cancer report the greatest incidence of pain.
Pain control is one of the chief goals of hospice care. Federal guidelines regulating hospices have established the requirement that every reasonable effort must be made to assure a patient's pain is controlled. Most state laws governing hospice also make pain control a primary and required component of hospice care. However, many attending physicians of hospice patients are often reluctant to prescribe adequate pain medication or are unfamiliar with the latest pain control techniques, particularly those that are non-invasive.
"We are positive that our patients will feel more confident and more comfortable knowing that should their pain levels increase, Passages Hospice has the medical expertise to handle any pain crisis they might encounter," added Gillman. "It is reassuring for our nursing staff and our patients' families alike to have the resources of Dr. Rosche available."
Passages Hospice, LLC is located in Elgin, IL and is a full-service, privately held hospice company delivering: 24-hr Medicare/Medicaid Continuous Care; 24-hr. Nursing Care; 12-month Bereavement Program; Respite Services; Interdisciplinary Professional Team; Prescriptions and Medical Supplies related to hospice diagnosis; and more.

Arttogo Named 2008 Best New Kids' Product
Arttogo LLC is pleased to announce its new line of eight Arttogo Kits received the Best New Kids' Product Award at the 2008 International Art Materials Trade Association (NAMTA) Trade Show in Reno.
Madison, Wis. (PRWEB) May 23, 2008 -- Arttogo LLC is pleased to announce its new line of eight Arttogo Kits received the Best New Kids' Product Award at the 2008 International Art Materials Trade Association (NAMTA) Trade Show in Reno.
Arttogo was founded in 2006 by Forrest Espinoza of Madison, Wisconsin. Espinoza was looking for a way to introduce more art into her son's lives, but she was unable to find kits that used quality materials to make beautiful objects. Most mainstream kits for kids used plastic and other synthetic components, and were intended for single, pre-designed projects.
"My idea was to provide families with quality art supplies so they would be able to have an enjoyable experience together. For me, it was all about bringing parents and kids together to create something really beautiful," said Espinoza.
Arttogo Kits are an eco-friendly and thoughtfully developed alternative to common art and craft kits. All Kits are assembled in the USA using safe materials. Jewelry wire and marbles are made in the USA. Handmade paper is imported from India and Thailand. Handmade 100% Wool Felt Shapes are imported from Nepal.
Arttogo kits are open-ended art projects, so the possibilities are endless. Kits contain idea sheets to get the creative juices flowing, but the end result is a unique, one-of-a-kind piece of art. Artists are encouraged to personalize projects by using some of their own materials and by infusing their own imaginative ideas.
The International Art Materials Trade Association (NAMTA) is the largest trade association dedicated exclusively to promoting the art materials industry. For more information on NAMTA, visit their website at www.namta.org or call 704/892-6244.
Arttogo LLC located in Madison, Wisconsin, is the manufacturer of Arttogo Kits. For more information visit the website at www.myarttogo.com or contact Forrest Espinoza at 608-213-0221.

ndustry experts fear CPAP compliance may be compromised because of lack of educational materials and instructional resources. CPAP patients don't know where to obtain the information they need for proper treatment. One Internet retailer steps in to fill the void.
There was already a lot of information available. We just made is much easier for the patient to find. If we don't have what they are looking for, we will find the answers
Richmond, VA (PRWEB) June 2, 2008 -- For CPAP Supply USA, it is no surprise that CPAP patients are not always compliant in their therapy and are not always receiving the best therapy available. Over the last four years, they have spoken with, emailed, and held live chat conversations with thousands of patients diagnosed with sleep apnea that just don't know how to use their CPAP machines, when to replace disposable parts, and how to know when a CPAP mask is fitted properly. Although general levels of compliance are rising, the need for more informed patients is clear.
"It is not unusual to speak to a patient on the phone and find that they haven't replaced their mask in years," said Timothy Tillman, Chief Information Officer for CPAP Supply USA. "Time and time again, we are questioned on replacement schedules, cleaning advice, fitting concerns, and proper travel care."
Normally, the responsibility of training and education would fall on the local Durable Medical Equipment (DME) supplier. Although not a traditional DME, CPAPSupplyUSA.com is an Internet retailer specializing in CPAP and sleep apnea related supplies. Seeing the need for more educational resources, a new section of CPAPSupplyUSA.com focusing solely on information and training was launched in April, 2008.
"There was already a lot of information available. We just made is much easier for the patient to find. If we don't have what they are looking for, we will find the answers," said Tillman.
The new section contains resources such as mask sizing and fitting guides, machine manuals, the ability to speak directly with a Respiratory Therapist, replacement schedules, live customer service webcameras, tips and tricks, and a full community of blogs and forums where patients can chat with each other for advice. The information is available to everyone who visits the site.
"We felt it important to offer resources to the general public, not just to our own patients," said Jeff Burgess, CEO and Co-Owner. "We believe that having access to this information creates a more informed patient, a more informed buyer, and a patient more apt to achieve compliance." Compliance is the ability of the patient to follow a strict regimen of use set forth by their doctor. Non-compliance can occur for many reasons, but one of the main concerns is the patients struggle with equipment and supplies.
Sleep apnea affects an estimated 30 million people in the United States. Apnea occurs when the airway partially or fully closes during sleep, restricting normal breathing. A CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine forces air through the obstruction and creates a stable airway during sleep. Sleep Apnea is known to cause severe health problems, and in some cases, death can occur.
About CPAP Supply USA:CPAP Supply USA, headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, is one of the nation's leading suppliers of CPAP machines, CPAP masks and CPAP accessories from top manufacturers, including Respironics, Puritan Bennett, Invacare, Resmed and Fisher & Paykel. With over 20 years experience working with home medical equipment companies specializing in respiratory care, their mission is to improve the quality of life for their clients by providing expert advice and state of the art equipment at affordable prices.
