ok the 87 wagon i bought a few weeks ago now. it has sat for about a year with the driver side valve cover off, the cam looks to be in good shape, really no rust on it or anything.
what do you guys reccomend? change the cams from my other engine i got onto this one and finish putting everything back together?
or put in the other engine i got, but the otehr engine is a EA82 bolted to a manual 2wd tranny, and without taking out my auto tranny how hord would it be to put in the new engine and bolt it up to the auto tranny.
i was thinking just pull the old engine, put the flexplate on the new motor, drop her back in, and bold the flex plate up and im done really, just like a chevy?

If it was me...if there was no rust, or any kind of really odd buildup, id put the cover back on with a fresh seal, and fire it up.
There is no known problems with this engine, is there?

well there is a TAD, i mean very light coating of surface rust that i could take off with my finger nail.
the engine has not problems, all that was wrong was it blea a head gasket so he replaced both. his neighbor came over to help and broke a bolt off into the cam box while putting the cam cover on.

Hm. Well, id scrape the rust off, hose it down with some brake cleen, and some WD40....put the cover on and fire it up. If the one broke bolt is near/next to the oil gally for the cam box...i'd invest some time to take the box off and replace the bolt and clean everything up....
Posted 21 March 2004 - 09:49 PM
i think it just broke the bolt so he lost intrest, if it stripped it ill helicoil it, spray on some WD40, and toss it together and see what happends.

US senators demand boycott of Iran 'snoop' firms
International telco standards? So what, say pols
Two US senators are calling for a boycott of European firms they say are helping the Iranian government snoop on its citizens.
That will be Nokia Siemens Networks, we assume, which has already confessed it sold technology to Iran conforming to 3GPP and ETSI standards which require mobile networks have a lawful intercept capability. Mobile networks in the US, and everywhere else, are required to provide a way for police and others to listen to phone calls. The situation is not different in Iran.
Two Senators - Republican Lindsey Graham and Democratic Charles E Schumer are backing legislation which calls for the US government "to identify foreign companies that export sensitive technology to Iran. Those companies would not be allowed to apply for procurement contracts with the US government, or renew expiring ones, unless they first terminated those exports to Iran."
We're not sure why US firms are not also being identified.
Schumer said: "The Internet has proven to be one of the strongest weapons in the hands of the Iranian people seeking freedom and trying to chart a new destiny for their country. Companies that provide technology to the Iranian regime to control the Internet must be forced to pay a heavy price."
Nokia Siemens Networks has repeatedly said its equipment conforms to international standards which include the ability to listen to mobile and landline calls.
The company said it did not provide any kind of deep packet inspection or web censorship capability. Despite this the Senators refer to technology which can: "Jam Cell Phone Signals, Block Email and Twitter, Monitor Internet and Mobile Video."
The Senators do not even get the company names right - they refer to "Nokia and Siemens" - while it was Nokia Siemens Networks which provided mobile kit to Iran. NSN is an entirely separate firm.
The bumbling gets worse - the press release refers to 2,000 government contracts held by Siemens.
The two have also written to Hilary Clinton urging her to press the European Union to restrict sales of snooping technology to Iran.
In the UK Ian Lucas, minister of state at the Department for Business, Skills and Innovation said he was unable to say whether or not the UK exported equipment which could be used to spy on Iranian citizens. ®

Issue Type: Bug Created: 2009-04-13T07:13:01.000+0000 Last Updated: 2009-09-18T08:03:57.000+0000 Status: Resolved Fix version(s): - 1.9.3 (22/Sep/09)
Reporter: Ivo Jansch (ijansch) Assignee: Pádraic Brady (padraic) Tags: - Zend_Service_Twitter
Related issues: Attachments: - Zend_Service_Twitter.diff
I have 2 Zend_Service_Twitter objects, both with their own account credentials. After sending an update with one object, an update on the next object will use the wrong useraccount.
$a = new Zend_Service_Twitter("userA", "passwordA"); $b = new Zend_Service_Twitter("userB", "passwordB");
$a->status->update("This is a test"); $b->status->update("This is a test too");
// result, both messages get posted in userA's timeline.
Posted by Ivo Jansch (ijansch) on 2009-04-13T08:53:34.000+0000
I investigated a bit further, and the problem probably is is that Zend_Service_Abstract, which Zend_Service_Twitter is indirectly derived from, uses a protected static $_httpClient member to handle rest calls. This is probably a design flaw, since this could lead to a number of problems where various different objects could inadvertently get unexpected results, since they share a single common http client object.
Posted by Jon Whitcraft (sidhighwind) on 2009-04-30T17:30:38.000+0000
Actually Zend_Service_Twitter does not extend Zend_Service_Abstract. It extends Zend_Rest_Client as it's using their REST API. This might be a design flaw in the Rest Client but with no maintianer of the Rest Service I'm not sure how/if this will ever get fixed. I think the twitter client should get a rewrite and us the Zend_Service_Abstract method instead but that would push it off to 2.0.. I'll send this off to Zend to see what they say.
Posted by Ivo Jansch (ijansch) on 2009-05-01T02:56:39.000+0000
Actually it is; which is why I said 'indirectly'.
Zend_Service_Twitter extends Zend_Rest_Client, but Zend_Rest_Client in turn inherits from Zend_Service_Abstract. (I think composition would be a better design for the service api than inheritance by the way).
So the problem is still with Zend_Service_Abstract and its static $_httpClient member. Does Zend_Service_Abstract have a maintainer?
Posted by Jon Whitcraft (sidhighwind) on 2009-05-01T03:19:11.000+0000
Ahh see if i would have followed the tree all the way i found i found that. My mistake. I have a feeling that it doesn't reset the variables like it should. I ran into this problem with the Ec2 Component where if you did more than one request it would fail as the $_httpClient was tainted with the previous requests items.
I'll look into this further.
Posted by Ivo Jansch (ijansch) on 2009-05-01T03:32:23.000+0000
Yes, that's indeed another symptom of the same issue. I think the cleanest solution is to replace the static $_httpClient with one that is not shared between instances, in other words a protected member variable.
Posted by Ben Scholzen (dasprid) on 2009-07-22T07:22:34.000+0000
I just ran into the same problem and after some looking around, I found a workaround which worked for me. Before every statusUpdate() call, I did:
<pre class="highlight">
That did reset the _authInitialised, so it updated the HTTP client when doiung the next statusUpdate().
Posted by Ivo Jansch (ijansch) on 2009-07-26T14:28:54.000+0000
Thanks Ben. I can confirm that this indeed is a working workaround.
The disadvantage is that this causes a re-authentication upon every update, even if they are from the same account. While this is acceptable in my situation, this is something to take into account if you do high volumes of updates.
Posted by Pádraic Brady (padraic) on 2009-09-17T13:48:55.000+0000
This patch implements some changes in an effort to ensure each Zend_Service_Twitter instance uses a distinct local HTTP client object to prevent the conflcts noted above. The summary of changes:
Note: This allows the setting of a custom client statically, so long as you remember they are cloned once a new object is created (i.e. you cannot change the clients once the object is instantiated which does differ from previously)
Posted by Jon Whitcraft (sidhighwind) on 2009-09-17T16:48:08.000+0000
It looks good to me. Let me konw when this is in so I can update the block addition for this and get it committed.

Thanks for the patch, as soon as I have a chance I'll test it in a real world scenario.

Some pictures just deserve another look! I posted this Interesting Photo and Thomas left some information then after he did some research (Thanks so much) came back with a couple of links for me to check out. There was a Polar Bear Frozen Custard shop in Washington D.C. which it is possible this is where the picture was taken since my Grandmother had a brother who lived in D.C.
I did a little research and found to my surprise that there was a Polar Bear Frozen Custard Shop in Nashville, Tn which closed in the early 1940's. This site will give you some history of the Polar Bear Frozen Custard Shop in Nashville, Tn.
I found several pictures of the Polar Bears now at this next site.
I haven't found any pictures of the Polar Bear Frozen Custard shop in Nashville but one of the links Thomas left was a picture of the shop in Wichita,Kansas. This shop was a little different than the picture I have.http://www.wichitaphotos.org/graphics/wschm_D2NE-101.1.1PolarBear.jpg
I don't know any of the men in the picture. I think it is fun to research these old pictures it gives you a glimpse into what the world was like when our parents and grandparents were young.

I put myself in the category of a motivational speaker, but I consider myself nothing more than a storyteller. And I don't think anything more is needed. Because if you have the ability to tell a powerful value-filled story, then it will ...
What a wonderful inspirational read for today, the day of Thanksgiving. If you want a jolt of heartfulness about stories in business, then this short article is for you.
Behind all the story and marketing, sales, biz growth activities lies the heart. Storytelling -- whether in business or on the stage -- is heart work because that is ultimately where stories touch us. At least for me it is.
I believe most of us doing this work with business storytelling come from this heart place because we know that sharing stories brings out the best in people. Because that is what we want more of. And that is what this article is really all about.
And I love at the end that the author Kelly Swanson says her post contains a lot of information and not story, and promises to do better. Doesn't this happen to all of us?! So thanks Kelly for the refreshing admission. We are right there with you :)
Enjoy this lovely piece, and thanks Kelly!

Please I have the politics section not on my frontpage for a reason. Hey if you really want to read slashdot's political stories that is fine but does anyone here really believe that this belongs under "technology" and not Politics?
[...] but does anyone here really believe that this belongs under "technology" and not Politics? Really?
It's "morality" as a consequence of "technolgy", the newly acquired opportunity to kill opponents without too much "political" risk. No body bags or television footage of dead soldiers from downed Blackhawk (e.g. in Mogadishu). I think it is a very relevant story.
Its still a political story, its just one where they have a single piece of tech in there which does NOT make it a tech story. They could just as easily do the same thing with mercs (and probably do I wonder how many "suicide" and "accidental" deaths of those that mouthed off weren't someone taking care of a problem) but this is all about the political implications of having a government that can kill anyone at anytime. Well guess what? Its been that way for many years now, you piss the wrong official off its trivial to use you CC history to make a damned accurate schedule of where you are gonna be and when, you could have an accident, suicide, failed car jacking, the possibilities of making someone that pisses you off go bye bye when you have THAT level of political power is staggering, look at the Stasi which is what I'd argue those in power ultimately want.
But all of that is political, its the insiders deciding which direction they want to steer the land under their control. Just sticking the word drone in it doesn't make it a tech story anymore than that hit on the Iranian nuke scientist was a tech story because the mine they used was magnetic. We have sections for a REASON people, its so those of us that don't want to deal with sections don't have to and sticking stories where they don't belong just breaks the whole thing.

I was really quite surprised that wasn't followed by massive buying up of airhogs stock by Tea Partiers, to find out which model planes hold the largest payload.
It can be stretched to mean defense of any US interests abroad. How many military actions since WW2 have truly been about protecting the homeland from attack?
One may even wonder if WW2 was about protecting "the homeland".
Were these ever about self-defense?
Problem is by deviding our attention with Iraq well, I'll paraphrase Charlie Wilson: "We fucked it up[...again]".
I agree that while the war in Iraq could never be considered as self defense, the justification about Afganistan does have some merit. However, I also think that there was probably an element of opportunistic regime change too. Let's face it, the 911 attackers were mostly from Saudi Arabia and Osama bin Laden was eventually found in Pakistan (with no thanks to the Pakistan government) and yet we managed to refrain from actually invading those two countries. I guess the difference was that those countries allowed us to enter them in force. I presume Afganistan would not (did someone actually ask them?).
Iraq was absolutely about regime change, and was a serious misstep IMHO. A lot of countries around the world rallied behind the US after 911, but were caught off guard by the sudden posturing by the US against Iraq about WMDs. It came out of the blue, and seemed to be quite unprovoked. A lot of genuine goodwill towards the country evaporated, almost overnight. The real shame is that while the war in Iraq may have divided the nation, the reaction to the criticism by other countries seemed to unite everyone again. Look at the strong feelings that are still prevalent towards France because they dared to question the existence of WMDs, even though they turned out to be right.
The people who still harbor a grudge against the French seem to be as arrogant as a bloodly Frenchman!
Look up the minerals under Afghanistan friend, its a fricking motherload of untapped mines just waiting to be exploited by Halliburton and friends! Sorry friend but there hasn't been a war since WWII (which FDR ignored the will of the people and purposely started shit with both Germany and Japan despite the majority wanting to stay the hell out of it and by doing so I'd argue he helped the USSR become the powerhouse it became by not letting Germany and the Russians kill each other) that somebody up high was
Yes, it's strictly business [blogspot.com]...
The Iraqis were NEVER going to attack us. The doctrine is a lie.
The Taliban / Pashtuns were NEVER going to attack us. The doctrine is a lie.
Al Qaeda was an is a huge threat and needs an asymmetric warfare response to its tactics.
Never forget that we adopted the Blitzkrieg and our modern army's systems from the Nazis all we needed to become the monster wee defeated was a president to fucking stupid to know that he was a fascist ( in the classical Mussolini definition ) and a people to complacent and stupid to know that we had been cooped from within.
Heck, given the so-called "visa applications" of the original 9-11 hijackers, I'd say a review of *domestic* customs and visitor visa policy and procedures would be my first action- something NEITHER the Obama nor the Bush administrations undertook. Not a single one of the 20 should ever have gotten a student visa to begin with.
I have no idea why this is modded troll. The first two are practically indisputable. The 3rd is debatable, but not an unreasonable proposition.
I WISH I could say the 4th had no merit whatsoever, but I don't think that would be very honest. It's fairly clear that the whole leadup to the Iraq war was was a fabrication directed from the top. Not only were no WMDs found, but nothing that could have been misinterpreted as WMDs was found.
That last is incorrect- they did find some old gas canisters, labeled in cyrilic, manufactured in Germany, with an expiration date of 1986. So something that could have been misinterpreted as WMDs, WAS found.
Just nothing very active or deadly.
I spent seven months in Kandahar City as part of ISAF. I say this so you know that I have seen the ground truth, not just whatever story comes out of whatever news outlet you care to believe.
The Taliban were providing direct aid and sanctuary to the people who carries out the 9/11 attacks, and then refused to hand them over for prosecution - or indeed, to enforce any limits on their activities in any way. This makes that regime an active accessory to international terrorism and indeed a legitimate threat.
On top of that, I cannot imagine any group of people less suited to govern a nation than the Taliban. During my tour, a couple of Taliban chose to douse a group of Afghan schoolgirls with concentrated acid, killing some, and horribly disfiguring the others - for the crime of attending school. Not a Western-funded school; an Afghan-started, Afghan-operated school teaching girls to read. This sort of despicable and flatly inhuman act was Taliban policy. There is NOTHING good about the Taliban. They are bigoted narco-thugs who actively seek to erase any sign of civilization, law, and order in the attempt to eliminate opposition to their drug farming slavery campaigns. The Afghan campaign was, is, and remains a just war.
The crying shame of the Bush administration was that, instead of applying a full-court-press to Afghanistan following the initial defeat of the Taliban and seeing the country Marshall Planned back to some form of stability, they took their eyes off the ball to go adventuring in Iraq. This allowed the Taliban to re-invent themselves as an insurgency, rebuild, and become a destabilizing force that has slowed reconstruction to a crawl.
Although the world does not morn the passing of Saddam, Iraq was completely unjustified and the diversion of resources away from Afghanistan is, as far as I'm concerned, criminal. Afghanistan is NOT Iraq.
Try using that one in court...
Your honor, I shot my next door neighbour because I knew in a week's time he would start some shit.
There is no way this can be considered self-defense. Defense by definition is stopping an aggressor. This is executing people suspected of terrorism without trial.
There is no way this can be considered self-defense. Defense by definition is stopping an aggressor.
So, when a SWAT team shoots someone who has already killed people, has said he's going to kill more people, and shows every sign of preparing to do just that, that's self defense (of the inevitable victims), or not?
How is that different than using lethal force to stop al-Awlaki, who was involved in numerous deaths (and the attempt to kill hundreds in Detroit), swore he's keep doing it, and was haning out with people training, financing, and arming along those lines? He and the guys he was in the middle
The real question is ofcourse if you would allow an other country to send drones into american soil to kill americans that they think are a threat. The answer is the same in every country. Drones is only allowed in one direction...
The way the law works is that the police attempt to capture the suspect and bring them in for trial. If during the capture attempt the suspect takes an aggressive act like shooting at the police the police are allowed to return fire in self defense. You don't send the SWAT team in as an execution squad.
So, when a SWAT team shoots someone who has already killed people, has said he's going to kill more people, and shows every sign of preparing to do just that, that's self defense (of the inevitable victims), or not?
No, that's not self defense. In that case, unless the suspect was immediately threatening the SWAT team there to execute the warrant or another innocent, if they shoot him they're in serious trouble. If he has a gun to somebody's head or pointed at the team, they can drop him. But even if they know he's already blown up a dozen crowded churches and they find him with blueprints of the church he said he's targeting next, a van full of ANFO, and a manifesto announcing his intent to light it up in 30 minutes time, they'd better take him alive unless there are lives in immediate danger or they'll be facing charges. So, if I understand your purposed case correctly, that is not self-defense.
This is executing people suspected of terrorism without trial.
If it was one bullet, I would agree with you.
The problem is that we use rockets launched from drones. And those rockets take out an entire building when we are "targeting" one person.
There is no way this can be considered self-defense./blockquote>Not only that, but worse. Innocent children die in these "Preventive warfare" strikes (to use the terminology of TFA).
Using one bullet to kill one guy AND NO ONE ELSE would be "assassination". And if the USofA wants to support that, that's one thing.
Using one HELLFIRE rocket to take out a building with the one guy you wanted dead
... and a few other people in his family ... and a few other families with children ... That's a military strike on a defenseless civilian population.
That's a military strike on a legitimate military target with relatively light collateral damage. You don't get to redefine terms.
That's a military strike on a legitimate military target with relatively light collateral damage. You don't get to redefine terms.
Okay, what military was it? Who's their Commander in Chief? Where is their version of the UCMJ published?
Or have you redefined "military target" to mean "apartment buildings"?
Here, why don't YOU define what is NOT a "military target" by YOUR "logic"?
It's terrorism in itself -- the victim has become the greater terrorist pure and simple.
The USA will have war without end, what voters want is irrelevant.
For an example, read through some of the posts here.
There are people in the USofA who seem to WANT endless war.
As long as it is against someone far away and weak enough to never pose any real threat to them.
But send our military in? Hell yeah!
Kill people with drones? Fuck yeah!
Borrow money to do the above? Hell fucking yeah!
"Why of course the people don't want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people don't want war neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." - Hermann Goering
Of course, Goering was speaking in a time of conscripted armies... people are happier nowadays to send others to war. The systematic problem is that there is a huge profit to be made from war, and so the people who would profit will find ways to drag the country to war. The vast majority of people have nothing to gain from war. Smedley Butler proposed several ways to fix the system: [wikipedia.org]
1. Making war unprofitable
2. Acts of war to be decided by those who fight it
3. Limitation of militaries to self defence
Interesting ideas. There was another interesting proposal that I once saw on slashdot: insist that every war must be fully funded ie. when a war is declared, then an immediate tax must be enacted to pay for all of running costs, and for all of the long term medical and care costs of all the soldiers who are injured. I suspect that would make the war cheerleaders think twice.
The morality is irrelevant. For the family of the "collateral damage" the US will be exactly the same as any other terrorist.
This kind of thinking will only result in MORE people thinking that terrorism is a legitimate way to combat terrorists. Guess what the result will be.
well, now that we have drones doing the killing for us, it is becoming less terrible
...that the reduction in civilian casualties and destruction of property means that the drone attack comports better than most other methods with the principle of discrimination.
relabel every corpse created as a "terrorist" or "enemy combatant," and bang! Less "civilian" casualties.
Winning the hearts and minds, one bullshit semantic after the next; the sad part? it fucking works.
What sheep we've become...
It's been kind of interesting to watch the differences of culture here. Our doctrine of trying not to cause "civilian" casualties is seen as attempting to be noble and of a military/cultural doctrine that grew out of European warfare and mentality. The Geneva Convention sort of works with a european land war because most of the cultures have at least some common stance on morality and ethics. I've often said that outside of Europe the Geneva Convention need not apply, because it doesn't. The cultures ar
IMHO, any preemptive military action is damned difficult to justify as self-defense.
However, I cannot agree with the stated argument that poses this question to start with:
From the summary:
Let us assume the principal ethical argument pressed in favor of drone warfare â" to wit, that the reduction in civilian casualties and destruction of property means that the drone attack comports better than most other methods with the principle of discrimination. If this is so, then we might conclude that a just cause alone is sufficient to justify the attacks...
Bush is blamed as the source in this essay, but he was just the most recent and blatant example since WWII.
Think about it...we can blame WWII on Pearl Harbor, but since winning that one, we started becoming more meddlesome globally.
Korean War(War on Communism)-we got run out
Vietnam War(War on Communism)-we got run out
Global(War on Drugs)-we are losing that one
Global(War on Terror)-we lost that one as soon as we declared it a 'War'
Not to mention Panama, but we did have one winning moment in the clusterfuck of Granada!
And we are continuing that decades old losing streak in the Middle East to this day.
Methinks there could be a pattern here.....
You forgot the "nuclear weapon" that Reagan dropped on Tripoli, but I guess Obama and the UN recently finished that one off.
Korean War(War on Communism)-we got run out
Pardon me, the fact that the Republic of Korea still exists some 60 years later would like to have a word with you.
North Korea, with Russian equipment, mostly overran south Korea prior to US involvement. Then the US overran most of north Korea, then China got involved and it settled in the middle, with the US still maintaining bases in South Korea. South Korea is relatively 'free', and North Korea is still pretty screwed up. That's not getting 'run out', in contrast to Vietnam.
Korea would probably be less screwed up than North Korea had the US not gotten involved. China wouldn't feel like it needed a dysfunctional p
We don't think to oppose the pursuit of criminals by our police. That's effectively what has happened to the terrorists. This is made much easier with the drone war because we don't take the same sort of causalities. We just play whack-o-mole with the terrorists. And assuming we can manage the politics, we can logistically sustain the campaign indefinitely.
I'm not saying we should or shouldn't. I think he's right in saying that if we don't oppose it soon it will just become an institution like the drug war. This thing that sits there and we do but we don't actually think about it. It just happens. It has it's own momentum, budget, and everyone just expects it to keep rolling along for various reasons forever.
It's possibly too late to stop it already. The CIA has built it into their budget and that is one of the harder budgets to penetrate.
I'm torn... I don't want to fight anyone or kill anyone. But of course I recognize that if people are going out of their way to kill me or people I care for then they must themselves be engaged and destroyed. The whole fat man thin man situation is somewhat confusing in that we're not really dealing with any fat men. It's all thin men... lots of them. It's a very target rich environment. And we're capable of icing them with a high degree of efficiency. But then there's blow back, reprisal, revenge... it just this endless struggle to balance an enemy's fear and hatred. I don't want to be hated. But I do want to be feared if only because I think it will make me safer.
Fear might not be the right term. Respect would be a better term. And i don't mean respect as in liked or admired. I mean respect in the same way you respect a tidal wave, the sun, or a mountain. You don't mess with these forces. They will break you if you don't respect them. That's how I want my nation regarded. Like the mountain, I don't have any ill will against anyone else on the planet. But don't mess with my people or I'm going to find a reason for you to change your mind. Lets just not go there. Everyone go to their little corners and swear peace. First bastard that breaks the peace gets pounded into the ground like a tent peg.
"We don't think to oppose the pursuit of criminals by our police."
We used to, but that was when we had a Constitution that meant something, and a 4th Amendment to which we actually adhered.
But is what we are doing truly self-defense?
To answer that question just ask yourself how people in this country would react if some other country started defending themselves in the U.S. the same way.

[Shell to Sea] The Government Pension Fund of Norway is an investment fund into which the surplus wealth produced by the taxes on oil and gas and from Statoil is deposited. It's largest stock holding is in Shell shares.
Norway's sovereign wealth fund sold all its Irish and Portuguese government bonds after rejecting the Greek debt swap and warned that Europe faces considerable challenges.
The $610 billion Government Pension Fund Global returned 7.1 percent, or 234 billion kroner ($41 billion), as measured by a basket of currencies, in the first quarter, the Oslo-based investor said today. Its equity holdings gained 11 percent while its fixed-income investments rose 1.6 percent.
The fund, which voted against Greece's debt swap this year because it disagreed with being subordinated to the European Central Bank, also said it reduced debt holdings in Italy and Spain amid a broader strategy to cut investments in Europe. The fund added government bonds from emerging markets such as Brazil, Mexico and India.
"Predictability is important for a long-term investor and the euro-area faces considerable structural and monetary challenges," Yngve Slyngstad, chief executive officer of Norges Bank Investment Management, said in a statement.
Stocks jumped globally in the quarter after the European Central Bank stepped in with more than $1 trillion in three-year loans to the region's banks. The rally was tempered toward the end after Spain announced in March it would miss a deficit target and as austerity measures dragged euro-region economies into a recession and boosted unemployment to a 15-year high.
Greece pushed through the biggest sovereign debt restructuring in history in the period, with private investors writing off more than 100 billion euros of debt. That decision spurred European finance ministers to approve a second bailout package for the nation of 130 billion euros.
The fund said that it held 1.3 billion kroner in Greek bonds before the debt swap. Its holdings in Italian government debt fell to 26.6 billion kroner from 33 billion kroner at the end of 2011, while Spanish debt declined to 15.6 billion kroner from 18 billion kroner.
"It is not only those five countries but in addition we are looking at the situation as a whole," Slyngstad said in an interview. "We are concerned about the situation in the euro area," he said. "In many countries there are macroeconomic challenges."
The fund's investments in euro-denominated government bonds declined to 39 percent of the fund at the end of March from 43 percent at the end of last year. The holdings returned 2.9 percent in local currency in the quarter, the fund said.
"We have sold proportionally more of government bonds in southern Europe than in other countries," he said. "This has been a process that has been going on for two years."
Irish bonds have returned 11.55 percent so far this year, while Portuguese bonds have gained 19 percent, according to broad market indexes compiled by Bloomberg and the European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies. All euro-area bonds returned 3.9 percent, according to Bloomberg indexes.
The yield spread on Ireland's benchmark 10-year bond over German debt narrowed two basis points 520 basis points today, while the Portuguese equivalent was little changed at 913 basis points. A basis point is 0.01 percentage point. Spain's widened one basis point to 419 basis points.
The investor, which is managed by the central bank and gets guidelines from the government, has started a strategy shift that will reduce its bond and stock holdings in Europe to capture more of global growth as it struggles to meet a 4 percent return target.
At the end of March, the fund held 60.7 percent of its assets in stocks, 39 percent in bonds and 0.3 percent in real estate. It's mandated to hold 60 percent in stocks, 35 percent in bonds and 5 percent in real estate.
The fund's largest stock holding at the end of the quarter was Royal Dutch Shell Plc, while its biggest bond holding was U.S. Treasury bonds, followed by the U.K. and France.
Norway's government deposited 60 billion kroner of oil revenue into the fund in the quarter. The return beat by 0.3 percentage point the benchmark set by the Finance Ministry.
The investor lost 86 billion kroner, or 2.5 percent, last year as stock markets slumped on concern the region's debt crisis might tip the global economy into recession.
The fund got its first capital infusion in 1996 and has been taking on more risk as it expands globally, raising its stock portfolio from 40 percent in 2007. It first added stocks in 1998, emerging markets in 2000 and this year real estate to boost returns and safeguard wealth.
Norway, a nation of 5 million people, generates money for the fund from taxes on oil and gas, ownership of petroleum fields and dividends from its 67 percent stake in Statoil ASA (STL), the country's largest energy company. The Nordic nation is the world's second-largest gas exporter and the seventh-biggest oil exporter. The oil fund invests outside Norway to avoid stoking domestic inflation.

I love reading about new, interesting species. Let's hope for the crabs that they have no commercial value...
Brilliant? No, it's just organisms desperate to survive and doing whatever it takes, even if it means eating crap off their own bodies.

I love reading about new, interesting species. Let's hope for the crabs that they have no commercial value...
Ugh - talk about "wash thoroughly before eating"...
I have met a girl once who did the same on her toe nails.
Significant discovery, because the crab does not use the sun or any sun light based organism to survive. It opens doors to complex life on watery moons and planets with mild water volcanism.
Think of all the possible crab alien that evolved into complex societies !
People have already suggested the same thing based on hydrothermal vent [wikipedia.org] ecosystems. It would be awesome to find similarly based life on Enceladus [wikipedia.org].
First I can't go skiing, now I can't go snorkeling in the Caribbean. Next thing you know there are going to be Amish Corn Yeti wanting a piece of my hide. Forget "All your base are belong to us," it's going to be "All your asses are belonging to Yetis."

"In the deep basement off the coast of mom's house, scientists have found a species of neckbeard that cultivates gardens of bacteria on its facial hair, then eats them.
There are so many amazing creatures in the ocean. The Pom Pom crab does something kind of similar, in that it actually carries around 2 anemones in it's claws and uses them to catch food with and to defend itself. It is not born with those anemones and actually has to find them. If it loses one it attempts to split the remaining one in two, something we still have trouble with. Very interesting creature!
Further reading -
Somehow, this strikes me as the crab equivalent of surviving by picking your nose.
They say animals have limited intelligence, yet for a crab to know to wave his hands up in the air like he just dont care because he knows it will get him better tasting bacteria...wow! Proof is in the pudding...

Anoka County crash kills two, Wadena truck driver unhurt
A father driving 100 mph down Interstate 694 on Friday night in Fridley smashed into the back of a semi-truck, killing himself and his pregnant wife and leaving their 1-year-old son an orphan, according to the Minnesota State Patrol.
The child was buckled into a car seat and didn't have any apparent injuries, State Patrol spokesman Lt. Eric Roeske said Saturday.
The boy's mother, Patrice L. Hooks, 31, of Hopkins, was the passenger in the 2007 Chrysler 300 and his father, whose name has not been released by the medical examiner's office, was driving, Roeske said.
KSTP-TV has identified the father as Wilbur Hooks.
Patrice Hooks said in a recent post on her Facebook page that she was expecting a child this fall.
On Wilbur Hooks' Facebook page, his news feed was filled with pictures and posts about his wife and son. His posts painted a picture of a loving, grateful family man with high hopes for the future.
For instance, a March 5 post said this:
"The past few weeks of my life have been thought provoking, soul satisfying, and every part of a God given. ... My thoughts, investments, and sacrifices in the near future may very well be shocking to some of my friends and family. However, the end result may be something you all will be proud of. Praise God."
He spoke about a strong support system and hinted at having a new image and embarking on an entrepreneurial venture.
Family members could not be reached for comment.
While investigators will find out how the accident happened they may never know the why,' Roeske said.
"The two people who would know that information were very tragically killed," he said.
Roeske said that road conditions were not a factor in the crash and that it has not been determined whether alcohol played a role.
The boy was turned over to social services in Anoka County, he said.
The collision occurred in the freeway's eastbound lanes at Matterhorn Drive, just east of Central Avenue, according to the State Patrol.
The lanes were closed for more than 2 1/2 hours while emergency crews worked at the scene.
The driver of the truck, Steven Pothen, 68, of Wadena, Minn., had no apparent injuries.
Raya Zimmerman and Tad Vezner contributed to this report.

Sometimes You Have to Say No More!
I wish Terry and all of the other bloggers joining him great success with their blogs and will be supporting them from the sidelines. It is with some degree of regret and envy, that, for a variety of personal reasons, I will not be joining Terry and the other bloggers in this project. I believe the Graveyard Rabbit is an admirable project and that only good things can come of it.
Perhaps I'm just not good at time management, but the primary reason for not participating is, quite simply, a matter of time. There are only so many hours in a day and so much that I want and need to accomplish that I just don't feel that I can add another obligation to the list.
In addition to not taking on any new projects until my current list has been whittled down a bit, I have recently cut back on active participation in my local genealogy society. For a little over five years I was editor of their quarterly publication, was chairperson of the First Families and Pioneer Families programs, was chairperson of the Publications Committee, and was the go-to person for questions regarding computer problems and the internet. For the most part, those positions are being handed over to someone else.
I have also chosen to not participate so much in Facebook. I'll still add friends and join other Blog Networks when requested, but I am no longer accepting "gifts" or invitations to most of the other "applications" available in Facebook.
Also, I will be selective about the memes and challenges in which I choose to participate. I applaud those who dream up the memes and those who participate in them, but choices, sometimes difficult must be made if I am to accomplish my goals. Distractions are good, in moderation, but it seems that lately there have been too many temptations pulling me away from my goals. So please, do not be offended if I choose not to respond to a meme or challenge, it's not personal, by any means.
I wish you all well in your endeavors, whatever they may be.

Becky, Thanks for the mention and the encouragement. Please know that my favorite "Hoosier Rabbit" will always have an open invitation to membership whenever your plate is empty and you have time to be a graveyard rabbit.ReplyDelete
Hi Becky,ReplyDelete
No guilt! I had to turn Terry down as well, for the same reasons. I, too, have been wearing many hats for my gen society and I have been in the process of narrowing down my responsibilities and setting priorities. Thanks for speaking up!
California Genealogical Society and Library blog
Amen sister!ReplyDelete
I have been where you're at for some time now. I never did engage in the whole facebook thing because my kids warned me it's a colossal time waster. I do have a fb page but I never post to it or to anyone else's page either for that matter. I keep my circle of friends small although why I even bother I'm not sure. I just don't have the time for fb. And I definitely don't have the time for yet another blog.
I have a hard time keeping my enthusiasm in check. I know I have a tendency to over commit and then what initially was a pleasure becomes stressful and a burden. I'm trying desperately to change that by saying "no" more often and scaling back on what I'm already doing. Some days I'm more successful than others. Like you, I always worry that I'll be perceived as a party pooper for not going along. It's not that I don't have the interest, I just don't have the time.
Terry, you're quite welcome. By the time I get my current project list completed I'll be a gray-haired graveyard rabbit. LOL!ReplyDelete
Kathryn and Jasia, thanks for the moral support. 'Tis appreciated!
Congratulations on learning how to say "No"! All of us need to do it more often. (Even better would be to learn how to say it without feeling guilty about it.) I'll be honest -- I would not have added a second blog if my first blog didn't already have a focus on cemeteries. And I couldn't agree more about Facebook. Enough with the "noise"!ReplyDelete
I'm not good at saying no but I'm getting better at it. I've avoided fb so far and have come to believe I must be the lone hold out. I think the Terry's project is great, just not for me at this time. Now if I could only learn to say no at work. *sigh*ReplyDelete
Well, you can see how bad I am at managing time, I've just gotten around to reading everyone's posts for the last three weeks!ReplyDelete
While I did except the invitation on becoming a graveyard rabbit, you will notice I haven't joined Facebook. I knew that I would be spending a whole lot of time I DIDN"T have, if I joined. (Okay, we can talk about lack of self control at some later date.)
So Kudos to you, Dear Becky, for knowing when to say no, and for reminding me not to feel guilty when I say no!!!

Rate That OP/ED!
Please post your OP/ED here.
This thread will hopefully help animesukier's to find good anime and music through your posts.
You can also post ops and eds for games just make sure that it does not contain any nudity or the moderators may get us in trouble
Rules (if that okay :P)
1. Everytime you post on this thread you must rate the OP/ED someone has posted and post your own if you wish.
2. Post name of anime series (incase people really like the OP/ED and want to try watching series)
To post a youtube link for your OP/ED type [youtube] put the text inbetween the youtube link for example here is one op:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=I8vRnkGj0Fw - take out the part after watch?v= and put it between [youtube]put text here[/youtube]
so you would put [youtube]I8vRnkGj0Fw[/youtube]
Recommended youtube searches:
name of anime then type either opening or op... both make a difference... trust me
name of anime then type either ending or ed... again both make a difference
If you have problems finding anime for op/ed you may wish to try the above
Thanks for fixing tags xris.

Aoie Emesai - I've got the Narue ED ripped, but YouTube isn't sending me the email I need to actually be able to do anything on the site, so someone else might have to actually up it to YouTube on my behalf. I'll give it some more time and hope the email comes through, otherwise I'll up the ED as it is (9mb file) and hopefully someone will be kind enough to up it for me
Suzumiya ED 10/10, one of the most fun and catchy tunes I've ever heard.

Yeah, I'd agree about spoiler tags, the thread is getting vertically challenged already
One of my absolute favourites of recent times:
MagiPoka OP. Such a serious feeling to it, despite there being virtually no serious moments in the series itself. Works great
Spoiler for 1 video:
Inukami OP - 8/10 Catchy and of course it's sung by my number 1 seiyuu Horie Yui. Not quite up to the standard of some of the others she's sung though.
Side note: Since YouTube are being useless and refuse to actually send me my email no matter how many times I ask for it to be sent, can someone take this ED video and up it to YouTube on behalf of myself and Aoie Emesai? Cheers.

The Dolphins are holding on so far at Cleveland Browns Stadium.
Yes, they gave up a TD pass from Colt McCoy to Josh Cribbs that victimized Sean Smith in one-on-one coverage. That tied the game at 7-7 in the second quarter. McCoy has otherwise struggled, completed only 5 of 14 passes for 73 yards. He has a 47.6 rating right now.
But Dan Carpenter connected on a 23-yard field goal to give the Dolphins back the lead at 10-7.
Chad Henne is playing very well so far. He's completed 15 of 19 for 191 yards and one TD. His quarterback rating is 126.1.

Results 1 to 10 of 95
#1 I am a (relative) liberal - ask me anything03-29-2013, 12:37 PM
I was inspired by a conservative who opened a similar topic on a left-leaning (though non-political) forum. Here's the link to the thread, for those who are curious: http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/view...opic_id=332409
To copy his tagline: If there is anything that a member of CU would sincerely like to ask regarding either liberal beliefs or justifications thereof, I'd like to answer to the best of my ability.
As a caveat, I can't possibly speak for all liberals, and in many cases I won't even agree with them. Unlike the original poster of the linked thread, I am not involved in politics - my motive isn't to convert people to my way of thinking, even if I were articulate enough to be capable of this. But it will certainly be an interesting experience for me, and perhaps for others here as well.
In case it is helpful, here is a bit of information about myself.
Demographics: Young, male, non-religious engineer living in the Chicago suburbs.
Politics: One of the more fitting summarizations of my views I've read recently was Post-Modern group from Pew (http://www.people-press.org/2011/05/...roup-profiles/). I've voted for the last two libertarian candidates for president, mostly out of wishing there was a viable third party. In midterms and local elections I tend to side with Democratic candidates. I don't consider Obama to be a particularly good or particularly bad president. Of the 2012 GOP presidential candidates, Huntsman was the only one who would have gotten my vote; Romney and Paul were ok. I disliked the rest of the field to varying degrees.

What drives success? It is a question that drives people to unwise jealousy. Other times, the answer leads people to a flurry of motion…. commotion really. It becomes a cloud of stirred up dust with no seeds planted in the fertile grounds of momentum and growth.

Spring planting is near
Join the Arbor Day Foundation in February and receive 10 free blue spruce trees
Here's an ideal way to get into the mood for spring planting: Join the Arbor Day Foundation and receive 10 free trees to plant when the weather turns warm.
Every person from Washington who joins the Arbor Day Foundation in February 2012 will receive 10 free Colorado blue spruce trees.
"Planting Colorado blue spruce trees will add beauty to your landscape in Washington with their blue-green hue and distinctive shape," said John Rosenow, chief executive and founder of the Arbor Day Foundation. "These trees will also add to the proud heritage of Washington's 80 Tree City USA communities. For more than 30 years, Tree City USA has supported community forestry across Washington, and planting these beautiful trees will add to this important tree-planting tradition."
The 10 free Colorado blue spruce trees are part of the nonprofit Foundation's Trees for America campaign.
The trees will be shipped postpaid at the right time for planting, between March 1 and May 31, with enclosed planting instructions. The 6- to 12-inch trees are guaranteed to grow, or they will be replaced free of charge.
Arbor Day Foundation members also receive a subscription to the Foundation's colorful bimonthly publication, Arbor Day, and The Tree Book, which contains information about tree planting and care.
To become a member of the Foundation and receive the free trees, send a $10 contribution to TEN FREE COLORADO BLUE SPRUCE TREES, Arbor Day Foundation, 100 Arbor Avenue, Nebraska City, NE 68410, by February 29, 2012, or visit arborday.org/February.

I'm not much of a fan of graded cards but some of my customers are so I pick them up from time to time if I can get them cheap enough to run in my weekly auction.
I usually buy them from "PSA Mike", a local dealer. He told me this story of a Tiger Woods card he once had.
It is the 1996 Sports Illustrated for Kids card, The card came on a perforated sheet inside the magazine.
He very, very, very, very carefully removed it so it's "teeth" were perfect.
He sent the card to PSA for grading and it came back a PSA-9 which sold for around $5,000 at the time.
A great return on his $100 investment in the complete magazine ... but not great enough.
He cracked it open and sent it in again, and again, and again, and again ...
Finally on the 10th submission he got the coveted PSA-10 GEM MINT grade !!!
The first (and only at that time) PSA-10.
He sold it shortly later (2001) on eBay for $125,000 !!!
Just wait ... the story gets more interesting.
A few months later a 2nd PSA-10 showed up. It went for around $50,000.
Not a very good investment for the $125,000 buyer.
And it got worse, and worse, and worse.
A recent (Apr. 17, 2013) sale on eBay was for only $7,200.
A drop of $118,000 (94% loss) - $125,000 down to $7,200 in just 12 years.
Then there's the $1,000 PSA-10 1986 Topps Traded Barry Bonds.
Now available via eBay for just $50. A 95% loss.
I think if someone did a study on the values of non-vintage PSA graded
cards the results would be stunning. I'm guessing well over 90% of them would
show losses. With many showing massive drops in the 50% to 90% range.
Lucky for PSA, 60-Minutes just doesn't seem interested.
Look for future "horror stories" on MINT graded cards with paper loss and oil stains.
And let's not forget the "When it Was a Game" PSA scandal from the 1990's to 2003
when they pled guilty to fraud. The story starts with me selling them their first cards
after my wife demanded I clean out my closet.

Hempstead, NY - Georgia State came from 17 points down and had the ball with 11 seconds and the chance to win, but misfired on its final attempt and lost a 64-63 decision to Hofstra Thursday.
Trailing 64-53 with 5:11 to play, GSU shut down Hofstra without another point and continued to close the gap on offense. Kayla Nolan scored with 1:40 left and there was plenty of time.
With 1:00 on the clock and with the ball under their basket to go ahead, GSU threw the ball away.
A defensive stop gave GSU another chance with 39 seconds left, but a backdoor layup was blocked without a foul by Shante Evans.
When Annie Payton missed the front end of a 1-and-1 with 16.1 seconds, GSU had yet another chance.
With 11 seconds left, GSU had the ball in front of its bench and basket with the chance to pull off the win. But, a delayed offense ended up in a long shot by Ashley Watson that bounced off the side of the rim.
The one-point margin made all the more important the buzzer beating 3-point shot at the end of the first half by Hofstra's Andreana Thomas that was reviewed and counted to break a tie and give Hofstra a 34-31 lead at the break. Those three points obviously loomed large later. There had been seven lead changes and four ties in the back-and-forth first half.
Hofstra started the second half with a 13-0 run to build the lead to 47-31 at 16:46. The Pride (6-7, 2-0 and on a five-game win streak) took advantage with Evans in the paint when Paulk had to sit for a few minutes with a sprained ankle. Hofstra had its largest lead of 51-34 at 12:23.
Georgia State (8-5, 0-2) controlled the boards with a 47-40 rebound advantage, including 18 offensive boards. GSU hurt itself by making just 12-of-20 free throws (60%) and missing front ends of one-and-one situations.
Cody Paulk led GSU with 14 points, eight rebounds, five steals and two blocks in her 32 minutes. But, the minutes she was out with the ankle sprain was crucial during that 13-0 Pride run with Evans scoring down low. Sophomore guard Ashley Watson and freshman guard Gaby Moss each scored 11 points, while sophomore guard Kayla Nolan added 10 more points.
All-America power forward Shante Evans had 18 points and 8 rebounds for Hofstra, but was four points shy of breaking the school career record. Annie Payton added 16 points, 14 of them in the first half. Andreana Thomas had 11 points and 10 assists.
GSU forced 21 Hofstra turnovers and made 11 steals to go with three blocks. Hofstra, who leads the CAA in steals, had 10 this evening and forced 20 GSU turnovers. Both teams capitalized on the takeaways, with GSU scoring 22 points off turnovers and Hofstra 20 points.
"I guess I can be pleased that we didn't quit and came back to give ourselves the chance to win, but I am disappointed at the start of the second half and with our decision-making, especially on the last possession," coach Sharon Baldwin-Tener said. "And, we missed too many free throws."
"It is tough to win on the road and Hofstra is hot right now with a winning streak, so give them the credit they deserve," Baldwin-Tener added.
GSU continues on the road trip with a game at Towson on Sunday afternoon.
- GSU has had chances to beat three hot teams, but only come close in this three-game losing skid. GSU led Toledo (12-1, 22 RPI) for more than 20 minutes. GSU had ODU (11-2=3, 2-0) down by 20 in the second half but didn't close the deal. GSU battled through lead changes last night and had its turn for a rally win with three late shots that could have given them the lead against Hofstra, who won its fifth straight.
- GSU's 47-40 rebound advantage made it 11 times in the 13 games that the Panthers have had a rebound lead over their opponents. GSU is a +7 on the season in this category.
- With 11 steals, this was the 9th time in the 13 games that GSU has had double figures. GSU averages 10.5 a game.
- After topping 70% from the free throw line in two of the last three games, the 60% on 12-of-20 hurt in the loss tonight.
- Cody Paulk had her 5th double-figure scoring game of the season and it was a season-high 14 points. She's had 23 career double-figure games.
- With 2 more blocks, Paulk still leads the CAA with 37 this year and upped her school record career total to 170 blocks.
- Paulk's 5 steals give her back-to-back 5-steal games as she now leads the team in that category with 28.
- Freshman Gaby Moss had her second double-figure game, scoring 11 points tonight to top her 10 points four games ago. She also had 2 assists in her 21 minutes and made two 3-point baskets.
- Miranda Smith had a personal-best high 6-rebound game tonight.
- Ashley Watson had her fourth double-figure game of the season with 11 points, while adding 4 assists to up her team-best season total to 41.
- Kendra Long had a season-best 8 rebounds.
- Freshman Morgan Jackson added 5 rebounds, her third game with 5 or more this season and give her 30 on the year.
- Freshman Ashlee Cole was 1-for-1 outside the arc to give her 13 3-pointers on the season, second only to Long's 20.
- Kayla Nolan battled through her illness to score 10 points for her 10th double-figure game of the season as she leads the team with her 11-point per game average.

Generic Name: oxymorphone (OX-i-MOR-fone)
Brand Name: Opana
Numorphan is used for:
Treating moderate to severe pain. It may be used before surgery to cause sedation and reduce anxiety. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Numorphan is a narcotic pain reliever. It works in the brain and nervous system to reduce pain. It may also affect other body systems (eg, respiratory, circulatory) at higher doses.
Do NOT use Numorphan if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Numorphan or any other codeine- or morphine-related medicine (eg, oxycodone)
- you have known or suspected stomach or bowel blockage (eg, paralytic ileus)
- you have slow or difficult breathing, fluid in the lungs due to chemical irritation, high levels of carbon dioxide in the blood (hypercapnia or hypercarbia), or severe asthma, or you are having an asthma attack
- you have moderate to severe liver problems
- you are taking mixed agonist/antagonist analgesic medicines (eg, buprenorphine, butorphanol, pentazocine) or sodium oxybate (GHB)
- you are taking or have taken a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) (eg, phenelzine) within the last 14 days
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using Numorphan:
Some medical conditions may interact with Numorphan. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or other lung or breathing problems (eg, asthma, emphysema, bronchitis), sleep apnea, curvature of the spine (eg, kyphoscoliosis), heart problems (eg, cor pulmonale), hypercapnia or hypercarbia, low levels of oxygen in the blood (hypoxia), low blood pressure, dehydration, or low blood volume
- if you have severe drowsiness, a recent head injury, increased pressure in the brain, growths in the brain (eg, tumors), or a history of seizures
- if you have liver or kidney problems, thyroid problems, adrenal gland problems (eg, Addison disease), stomach pain, stomach or bowel problems (eg, inflammation), gallbladder or pancreas problems, a blockage of the bladder, trouble urinating, constipation, or an enlarged prostate, or if you have had recent stomach or bowel surgery
- if you drink alcohol, have symptoms of alcohol withdrawal, or have a history of suicidal thoughts or attempts
- if you or a member of your family has a history of mood or mental problems (eg, anxiety, depression, hallucinations), or alcohol or other substance abuse or dependence
- if you have poor health or are in shock, are very overweight, or have recently had or will be having surgery
- if you are taking carisoprodol
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Numorphan. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Phenothiazines (eg, chlorpromazine) because the risk of low blood pressure may be increased
- Cimetidine or sodium oxybate (GHB) because the risk of side effects, such as severe drowsiness, slow or difficult breathing, coma, or confusion, may be increased
- Anticholinergics (eg, scopolamine, benztropine) because the risk of severe constipation or trouble urinating may be increased
- MAOIs (eg, phenelzine) because the risk of a severe reaction, including fever, seizures, and coma, may be increased
- Mixed agonist/antagonist analgesics (eg, buprenorphine, butorphanol, nalbuphine, pentazocine) or naltrexone because they may decrease Numorphan's effectiveness and withdrawal may occur
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Numorphan may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use Numorphan:
Use Numorphan as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Numorphan is usually administered as an injection at your doctor's office, hospital, or clinic. If you will be using Numorphan at home, a health care provider will teach you how to use it. Be sure you understand how to use Numorphan. Follow the procedures you are taught when you use a dose. Contact your health care provider if you have any questions.
- Do not use Numorphan if it contains particles, is cloudy or discolored, or if the vial is cracked or damaged.
