My BFF Colby recently blogged this fun little post, and I thought that I would join in the fun since I'm currently lacking major inspiration and desire to blog. Sad face.
Obsessing Over the new reading corner in my bedroom. I bought my first piece of furniture a few days ago, and I'm in love! I had a bit of buyer's remorse (like I always do), but I got over it quite quickly when I saw how well it fit into my bedroom! My next goal is to actually achieve one total look for bedroom. Yikes. I promise to share it soon!
Thinking About what I'm going to eat for dinner (probably Ramen noodles...) and how I have to be up at 5:30 to get to work by 7 tomorrow! Yucky. I've also been up in the middle of the night a lot lately trying to think of people that my boss could hire this coming winter as a new nanny! I don't know why, but I'm stressing over it!
Anticipating getting my scholarship money back so I can finally get a new Macbook Pro. I need it. Badly. I also need wifi in my apartment. NEED. Also, anticipating the DVD release of The Swell Season documentary. Somehow... I totally missed that one. Not sure how!
Listening To The Civil Wars, at the moment. I've also been listening to a ton of Lana Del Rey. I bought both The Civil War's Barton Hollow and Lana Del Rey's Born to Die on vinyl last week, and they're so good.
Eating nothing at the moment, but I just finished a tasty Chick Fil-A lunch! I'm addicted. And to think that once I used to hate it... silly me!
Wishing for lots of things right now. But most notably: wishing I'd hear from Janel about baby Amelia! She's coming today!!
I hope you all have a good day, and I promise to be back soon... as soon as inspiration hits :)

Six was the lucky number for one punter who, in his 60's, managed to win £412,961 from just £2 placed on a Tote Scoop6 bet in his local branch of Coral Sports.
The self-employed punter, who wished to remain anonymous, revealed he was not a regular player of the Scoop6 bet. As he explained to Coral's PR Director Simon Claire, "I thought I'd have a go given how much money was at stake. I was working for the first three races, but then my daughter rang me to say they'd all won, so I watched the fourth and fifth races on telly, and then had to go out so followed the final leg on the Racing Post website commentary. When the final horse won I didn't really know what to think and was amazingly calm."
Speaking of his customer's triumphant win, Coral's Simon Claire said: "He is the most deserving winner imaginable. He has been a regular punter for over 40 years and an enthusiastic lifelong supporter and fan of horse racing. If you get out of life what you put into it, then it is entirely fitting that horse racing has rewarded this individual with a life-changing win. That said, as he pointed out quite firmly, this win wasn't down to luck. He picked his six selections very carefully and his win was down to skill."
Not only that, but the anonymous winner could go on to become an instant millionaire if he correctly picks the winner of the Tote Scoop6 Bonus race on the following Saturday. He revealed his family already have ideas about the potential winnings. "My three daughters are already excitedly coming up with things to spend the money on, but I have spoken to the wife and we'll just put it in the building society and decide from there."
The 60 year old showed that the success had not gone to his head, leaving fellow punters with some wise words. "You come into the world with nothing and you leave it with nothing, so we'll definitely use it to enjoy life and experiences."
So if you want to be in with a chance of winning serious cash on the horses, why not visit Coral Sports today.

JFace Data Binding is a multi-threaded set of abstractions that allow for automated validation and synchronization of values between objects. This is commonly used for, but not limited to, the binding of user interface components to model attributes. The core concepts behind the project are Observables and Bindings. We provide IObservable implementations for SWT, JFace, and JavaBeans but the core is void of references to these in anticipation of implementations for other projects (e.g. EMF, Swing, etc.).

A better bumper sticker
Liberals, believing strongly in the virtues of a secular government and the clear separation of church and state, are easily caricatured as hostile to religion—by Conservatives and by false "friends" (e.g., Joe Klein and the like).
This caricature has led to the creation and courting of the Religious Right by the GOP, with regular pandering in preparation for elections: government display of the Ten Commandments, the "war on Christmas," homophobic positions and amendments, and the like.
It's difficult to fight attacks of this sort without sounding defensive or even (worse) adopting the frame set by the Right, covertly accepting that Liberals are somehow anti-Christian. Barack Obama, for example, fell into that trap.
The Second Daughter suggested a superb bumper sticker that finesses all that:
Values Voter: Matthew 25: 35-40
For those, like me, whose memory of scriptural references is rusty, here is Matthew 25: 35-40 from the American Standard Version translation:
35 for I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in;
36 naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee drink?
38 And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, even these least, ye did it unto me.
This bumper sticker has several excellent characteristics.
First, it is "inside out," rather than "outside in." That is, rather than pounding on the opposition in a (futile) effort to convince, it allows the opposition to internalize the message and ponder it—and perhaps to change a view here and there. Note that the bumper sticker has no words or labels that will trigger automatic barriers: it doesn't say "Democrat" or "Liberal" or "GOP" or "Religious Right."
Instead, it simply states, by reference, a set of core values: that we're all in this together, so that our government could work to enable us to help one another, the more fortunate working together to assist the less fortunate to make a stronger country and a better union, to protect the weak from exploitation by the strong, the individual consumer and the individual employee from avaricious and uncaring corporations.
After all, by helping one another, we achieve the benefits that should come from living in a larger society. The new attitude of YOYO—"You're on your own"—reflects living alone, not in a community.
That these happen to be, in my view, the core values of the Democratic Party is left as an exercise for the reader.
So rather than being defensive, or on the attack, the message on this bumper sticker simply invites the reader to think about the values that a "value voter" would embrace and offers no signals or signposts that would lead the reader to reject the message before considering it.
A reader from the Religious Right, who perhaps already views himself or herself as a "values voter," will readily recognize the referenced text, and perhaps start to think about it—about the core values of Christian belief, as stated by its Founder—and perhaps begin to realize that those beliefs are not reflected in the modern-day GOP.
6 Responses
As a sort of footnote, I offer a comment on my earlier suggested bumper sticker:
I'm a Christian and I Vote Democratic
Note the limitations: first, this bumper sticker fights on very narrow grounds, simply stating that Christians can be Democrats, too. In a word, it's defensive and unambitious. (I guess that's two words.)
Moreover, this bumper sticker puts up labels that trigger automatic responses, negative for some positive for others: "Christian" and "Democratic" — while the bumper sticker in the main post sidesteps those responses and simply asks some implicit questions: "What values drive you as a voter?" And, following that, "Which party expresses those values?"
And—very important—this bumper sticker doesn't allow the reader to decide the answers him- or herself. Instead, it tries to answer for the reader. The bumper sticker in the main post in contrast has the reader consider the statement and draw his/her own conclusions.
Someone on another blog objected to the term "Values Voter" in the bumper sticker, on the grounds that the term had been co-opted by the Religious Right, and suggested "Democratic Values – Matthew 25: 35-40". Here was my response:
Yeah, I had the same thought: that "Values Voter" is a red flag (much as are "Liberal" "Democrat" "Republican" "GOP" etc. — those words will automatically raise barriers for some readers). But what I thought this wording did was to sneak under the radar of the Religious Right (who see themselves as Value Voters, I believe) and get them to start processing and evaluating the values before realizing the direction those values led in terms of politics and government. Putting a big "Democratic" on the sticker gives away the game and keeps the reader from coming to his/her own conclusions—those being so much more convincing than conclusions pointed out to one. Maybe this would work:
Govern by Matthew 25: 35-40
What do you think?
I think the bumper sticker is, indeed, addressed to Christians and Bible readers. We do want those people voting Democratic, right? And it's hard to get one bumper sticker that will appeal to ALL. Different strokes for different folks, as we used to say here in California. 🙂
It occurs to me that bumper stickers are of two sorts: First are those meant to proclaim one's identity or allegiance, without regard to convincing others (e.g., "I'm Pro-Choice and I Vote")—bearing witness as it were. The others are those intended to engage and convince the reader, getting past their normal defenses so they can consider the idea. And that's the sort that "Values Voter: Matthew 25: 35-40" is. The idea is exactly to appeal to "Values Voters" and have them absorb the meaning before their natural defenses are triggered.
Dead cool. I'm not a Christian so I wouldn't bother with it myself, but as a strategy it's prime. "Values Voters: Matthew 25: 35-40". Dead cool.
hey, you see, the slip of an s. "Values Voter: Matthew 25: 35-40".
The phrase also reframes the discussion — why let the social conservatives claim that they are voting on their values and we are not?
But I wouldn't go with Govern by… I still support the separation of church and state — while my faith governs who I am and thus how I operate (vote, act, etc.), that is a personal decision. While I am all for governing by the values contained in those passages (and paralleled in other religious canons and ethical texts), I wouldn't want to suggest governing by a particular religious canon or parts thereof.
It is ironic that originally the separation of church and state was more strongly supported by religious conservatives — they were worried about how corrupting politics could be on religion and desired to protect their faith by removing it from that realm.

If you're thinking of buying yourself a new tablet PC sometime in the near future, then the recent Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2011) in Las Vegas would have been the place to be. Tablet PC's appeared to be the focus of this year's event, with a few news ones being introduced.
The new Vizio Tablet was just one of the devices that were unveiled during this year's event. As Jamie Pert previously mentioned in an article here, the Vizio Tablet features an 8-inch display that supports a resolution of 1024 x 768, 1GHz processor, 4GB internal storage and HDMI-out.
There also appeared to be more hints at the upcoming arrival of the Apple iPad 2, after hearing reports that iPad 2 cases had been seen at the CES 2011 event. Tablet PC fans also learned that a 4G-enabled BlackBerry PlayBook will be arriving on the Sprint network sometime this summer.
According to a recent article over at metro.co.uk, the recently-revealed Motorola Xoom – the first Tablet PC to run on Google's Android 3.0 operating system – was awarded the honor of the Best of the Show, despite the fact that there were several others revealed.
Another Tablet PC that was unveiled during the event was the Asus Eee Pad MeMO, which according to Brian O'Toole at androidpolice.com, features a 7-inch screen and a 1.2 GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor. Gigabyte also showed off its T1125 Tablet PC, which you can read about via maximumpc.com.

Got it!Was arrested/not yet covicted of F5 drug abuse and petty theft. The local news then ran a story for 3-4 days saying MPD, Middletown Police Dept. busted a "Heroin Ring" at the local walmart. They associating me with 3 to 4 people that i have never heard of or met complete with grouping our pics together. If i'm not mistaken a "Heroin Ring" is a group of people selling and moving large amounts of the drug. Will not deny the fact that i was a user but have never been involved in a so called, "Ring".

Scarcely a month goes by without research somewhere suggesting that an innate or progressive condition can be cured.The latest was a study in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, arguing that some children diagnosed with autism may grow out of it. As someone for whom my husband's Parkinson's is a fact of our lives, I detest such reports. You can only imagine the false hopes they raise, the lengths to which parents will go to place their child among the favoured few, and the guilt they will feel if they fail.
Fictionalised hope is, to my mind, even worse than the scientific kind. I was, frankly, amazed that David Russell's film, Silver Linings Playbook, received the eight Oscar nominations it did. It's a simplistic rom-com in the American mode, no more and no less, with the standard feel-good element. But publicity for the film focused on its supposedly sensitive treatment of mental illness, and specifically of bipolar disorder, once known as manic depression.
To be simplistic about it – but not as simplistic as this Hollywood effort – those with bipolar experience acute mood swings; they can be depressed for periods, but also enjoy "highs". Drugs can help – the sort of drugs that, like many remedies for mental illness, have a numbing effect that deprives sufferers of the pluses – the exhilaration, verging on genius, that a "high" may bring – as well as the minuses of depression. This unwelcome effect of medication features, to a small extent, in the film, as do the bizarre social responses that can flow from "highs" and "lows". But that's about the best that can be said for it.
The message you are invited to take away is the age-old one: that everything can be cured by the love of a good woman. Unfortunately, it can't. It may help, but it won't ensure that everyone lives happily ever after. For another glimpse of mental illness that seems to resemble what would now be called bipolar, read the memoirs of Katharine Graham, long-time grande dame of The Washington Post. Her husband, Philip, was not easy to live with, to put it mildly. He turned to alcohol, had a breakdown, was committed to a psychiatric hospital and one day, while on weekend leave, withdrew to his study and shot himself. False optimism is quite as bad as the false pessimism Silver Linings Playbook affects to overcome.
The taxman's reply cometh
A belated New Year's honours list. In an Independent column before Christmas, I berated HMRC for fining my husband for an overdue tax return. Amazingly, his appeal was successful (and it had nothing to do with anything I wrote; the letter was in the post before my article appeared). So credit, where credit is due – because this hasn't been an isolated experience of prompt service from officialdom.
Last summer we needed a new blue badge to match a new car registration. We had to send the original, so I photocopied a clutch of documents anticipating their likely loss, or at very least severe delays. The new badge arrived practically by return – from the north of Scotland. And my sister, who lives in southern Italy, recently sent her passport to the UK consulate in Paris for renewal; she received the replacement within 10 days. You may also have wondered, idly, where the annual complaints about Post Office queues went in December. Well, there were a lot fewer of them, because many Post Offices extended their hours in the run-up to Christmas. Thanks, everyone – and keep it up.

Is Mexico's economy really driving down illegal immigration to the US?
A big drop in illegal immigration seems to be taking place along the US-Mexico border. Some attribute this to rising prosperity in Mexico, but other more influential factors are in play.
According to a 2010 Department of Homeland Security report, the number of undocumented immigrants living in the US declined from 11.6 million in 2008 to 10.6 million in 2009, the largest decrease in 30 years. One of the most common explanations for this phenomenon is that Mexico has witnessed the emergence of a middle class, lessening the economic incentive to cross the border. While it is true that a segment of the population has seen a growth in disposable income over the past five years, a July study by consulting firm De la Riva Group revealed that only 32 percent of the country is "middle class," defined as making the equivalent of between 13,500 pesos ($1,000) and 98,499 pesos ($7,360) per month.
In contrast, the latest poverty statistics from Mexico's government poverty monitor CONEVAL indicate that the number of people living below the poverty line in Mexico (2,114 pesos or $158 per month in urban areas, 1,329 pesos or $99 per month in the countryside) increased by 3.2 million between 2008 and 2010, and now stands at 52 million. This figure amounts to more than 46 percent of the country's 112 million inhabitants. This directly contradicts optimistic accounts in the US media which imply that increasing standards of living in Mexico are causing immigration to fall, such as recent articles in the Sacramento Bee and New York Times. While CONEVAL notes that some states (notably Puebla, Coahuila, and Morelos) have made inroads against poverty, it cannot by any means be said that Mexico is mostly middle class.
Another commonly cited explanation for the reduction in undocumented migration is the surge in deportations under the Obama administration, which presents a further deterrent to those thinking about crossing the border. According to figures recently released by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE), a record 396,906 individuals were deported from October 2010 through September of this year. As a result of this trend, many individuals who continue to risk the perilous border crossing are seasoned experts who have crossed multiple times, often because they have families in the U.S. According to the New York Times, 56 percent of arrests at the Mexican border in 2010 involved people who had been caught previously, up from 44 percent in 2005.
But while stiffer immigration laws such as the "Secure Communities" initiative are doubtlessly contributing to the reduction in undocumented immigration, several recent reports have suggested that the primary reason for the drop is the drug war in Mexico. According to the Center for Comparative Immigration Studies' director David Fitzgerald, the violence has become so great that potential migrants are no longer interested in risking their lives to make the trip. In a recent interview with Spanish news agency EFE, Mr. Fitzgerald claimed that surveys of migrant source communities in the states of Jalisco, Oaxaca, and Yucatan reveal that the top concern among Mexican migrants is the level of violence along the border.
Fitzgerald's remarks come just days after Salvador Beltran del Rio, the director of Mexico's National Institute of Migration (INM), told local press that there had been an estimated reduction of nearly 70 percent·in the number of Central American migrants passing through the country in the past five years. Mr. Beltran's estimate is based on the number of foreign migrants detained in Mexico, which has fallen from 433,000 in 2005 to 140,000 last year.
According to the official, this drop in Central Americans using Mexico as their gateway to the US is due to the threat from organized crime. Mexican drug trafficking organizations have become increasingly involved in migrant trafficking. Out of every 10 migrants who attempt to go northward, according to Beltran, six employ a "coyote," who they pay to transport them across the US border. As InSight Crime has reported, these middlemen are increasingly in the service of the cartels, and frequently extort or kidnap the migrants, killing those who refuse to cooperate. Such was the fate of 72 Central American migrants in August 2010, who were found buried in a mass grave in the northern state of Tamaulipas. Sometimes the migrants are coerced into working for the cartels in order to pay for their passage, as evidenced by the recent discovery of 61 migrants who had been held in forced labor by the Zetas in Piedras Negras, Coahuila. With incidents such as these reported regularly along the border, it is no wonder that the incentive to travel al norte has reduced.

Work is progressing well up at Lee Quarry repairs to some of the existing trails and some new sections of trail are appearing including a new bigger and better pump track. It is all going to be excellent but please keep off it until it is finished and if you are up there please encourage others to do the same. It will speed up the process and give us all better trails if the contractors don't have to keep repairing sections that are not ready to ride yet. If it is taped off please don't try and use it and shout at others who ignore the tape for me (unless of course they are bigger than you!)

The Cheapest Ways to Get Haircuts
Getting a Cheap or Free Haircut
Most people will always need haircuts, but these can be expensive, especially if you're visiting the salon once every 2 months.
What many people do not realize, is that there are a few ways that we can save money on haircuts, or even get a completely free haircut without compromising the quality.
Here are some useful hair cutting tips that will have you saving money at the salon:
1. Hair Salon Training Days
Many of the top salons, including Vidal Sasson and Bumble & Bumble , have weekly haircut training sessions for their stylists-in-training. The stylists get the chance to practice cutting hair, while you in return get a cheap haircut. The sessions are always supervised by a professional to ensure that everything goes smoothly. These training day sessions are at a fraction of the regular costs, and you can sometimes even get cheap hair coloring as well.- Contact some of the hair studios in your area to see if and when they offer training sessions.
- You could also check out this list of high end hair studios throughout the U.S., offering training sessions: Haircut Training Director.
- If you live in the New York area, here are a couple more links to find salons with haircut training sessions: NYMag Haircut Guide and Bumble Project .

We spent one of our evenings in Florence at Teatro del Sale and could not recommend it enough. The night consisted of a bombardment of different Tuscan / Italian dishes followed by a show - a local blues band this particular night.
Great food! But as expected my lack of Italian meant I couldn't understand the performance!! The atmosphere more than made up for it along with a large consumption of wine..
We were able to book this wonderful restaurant via our hotel on the day that we went.

text: When I was bringing my two cats up in 2011, I worried about them getting list cross country. Twice I did lose track of one of them... Tifton, Georgia... and St. Joseph, Missouri. It would have tore me up if I had lost one.. Luckily, we have been here long enough now that if they get lost, assuming they don't get eaten... they'd find their way back here. Cat Journeys 200 Miles to Get Home, Baffling Scientists First Posted: Jan 21, 2013 01:20 PM EST It sounds like something out of a children's movie. Holly the cat was vacationing with her owners in Daytona Beach when she got lost. Although her owners searched for her, they couldn't find the four-year-old tortoiseshell. Eventually, they gave up and drove home to West Palm Beach- 200 miles away. That didn't deter Holly, though. Almost two months later, the cat showed up in their neighborhood- staggering, weak, and emaciated, but still alive. The cat's journey has baffled scientists. How did Holly, a common housecat, navigate her way back home? There have been studies conducted on the migratory nature of birds, turtles, and insects, but no research on the ability of cats to travel long distances. Although there has been documentation of dogs travelling long distances to find their ways back home, these instances are still relatively rare. In addition, scientists have chalked up a dog's sense of navigation to its inheritance of a wolf's ability to navigate. Currently, the closest study concerning cat navigation is being conducted by the Kitty Cams project. This endeavor has outfitted 55 cats with small cameras to research exactly what they're doing when let outside by their owners. The project collected 37 hours of footage per cat and found that the cats engaged in activities such as hunting and risky behavior such as crossing roads and drinking unknown substances. Holly isn't the first cat to make a sizeable trek, according to Smithsonian.com. Howie, a Persian cat, travelled 1,000 miles across the Australian outback in order to find his owners. It took him 12 months, but he succeeded. Source: http://www.scienceworldreport.com/a...urneys-200-miles-home-baffling-scientists.htm

Shopping for an encrypted filesystem
If you're not a security expert and you're looking for a crypto filesystem, you may be wondering about the alternatives. We took at a look at some popular crypto options for Linux.
Crypto filesystems keep your data safe – even if someone steals your computer. The recent popularity of portable PCs has brought increased awareness about the need for protection, but even users with desktop systems have reasons for wanting to ensure that their data stays secret. Linux offers a number of encrypted filesystem options – each with a different approach to the encryption problem. We took a look at some of the alternatives, with the goal of providing some insights on encryption techniques, code quality, and the relative merits of the various solutions. We examined the following encrypted filesystems: • Loop-AES • DM-Crypt • Truecrypt • Crypto-FS • Enc-FS In addition to looking at technologies and techniques, we will also examined some performance parameters for these encryption options.

Civil servants suppress evidence on homeopathy on NHS website after lobbying from prince's charity
BMJ 2013; 346 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.f1071 (Published 18 February 2013) Cite this as: BMJ 2013;346:f1071- Ingrid Torjesen
- 1London
The way in which lobby groups and powerful people can influence government has come to light after an article on homeopathy on the public information website NHS Choices was stripped of all evidence questioning its effectiveness as a result of intervention by a charity set up by the Prince of Wales.
The Department of Health commissions the NHS Choices website from the private information company Capita to provide "objective and trustworthy information" to help patients make decisions about their health and treatment.
But evidence obtained under the Freedom of Information Act by David Colquhoun, emeritus professor of pharmacology at University College London and a fellow of the Royal Society, indicates that the health department can edit the content if it contradicts its own policies, even if that content is based on evidence.
Emails obtained from NHS Choices by Colquhoun show that …

Why has my veterinarian prescribed Sulfasalazine Tablets?
Sulfasalazine is prescribed to treat inflammatory bowel disease in dogs and cats. This medicine works inside the bowel by helping to reduce inflammation and other symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease.
How do I give Sulfasalazine Tablets?
First, READ THE LABEL CAREFULLY.
Give Sulfasalazine to your pet as directed by your veterinarian.
Give this medication to your pet for as long as prescribed by your veterinarian, even if your pet seems to be feeling better. This will help to ensure the infection is completely cleared up.
DO NOT give your pet more medicine than directed.
DO NOT give your pet medicine more often than prescribed.
Try not to miss giving any doses.
If I miss a dose, what do I do?
If you miss a dose, give it to your pet as soon as possible. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose, then continue with the regular dosing schedule. Do not give your pet two doses at once.
How do I store Sulfasalazine Tablets?
Keep this medicine out of reach of children.
Store capsules and tablets at room temperature in a dry, cool place. Keep this medicine away from heat and direct sunlight.
Do not store this medicine in damp places, in the bathroom, or near the kitchen sink. This medication can break down when exposed to moisture or heat.
The liquid form of Sulfasalazine should preferably be stored in the refrigerator. Keep the liquid medicine from freezing and throw away any unused liquid after 14 days.
What are the potential side effects of Sulfasalazine Tablets?
Sulfasalazine may cause your pet to experience vomiting, loss of appetite, inflammation of the eye, fever, decreased sperm counts, and allergic skin inflammation.
Contact your veterinarian immediately if your pet develops a dry cornea, or appears to have itchy eyes, because these are symptoms of a condition called dry eye or keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS).
Other side effects may occur. If you notice anything unusual, contact your veterinarian.
What about possible drug interactions?
Be sure to tell your veterinarian about any other medications or supplements you are giving your pet.
It's not uncommon for your veterinarian to prescribe two different medications, which may cause a drug interaction to occur. If this happens, your veterinarian may change the dose and/or monitor your pet more closely.
Sulfasalazine may interact with the following medicines: methotrexate, warfarin phenylbutazone, thiazide diuretics, salicylates, probenecid, phenytoin, antacids, folic acid, digoxin, ferrous sulfate, or other iron salts.
Contact your veterinarian if your pet experiences any unusual reactions when different medications are given together.
You can find a Client Information Sheet which provides a summary of information about Sulfasalazine Tablets for Pets by following the link below:

Some people just want to watch other people drive them and tell them what to do. At least, that's what From Software is hoping for with Armored Core V. Advertisement The latest entry in the long-running mech combat series introduces a feature that may sound familiar to multiplayer shooter fans: the commander, or in this game's case, the "operator".While Armored Core V supports up to four players in its multiplayer mode, it can actually handle a fifth, the operator, who instead of piloting a killing machine is given a bird's eye view of the battlefield and the means (via the ability to plant markers) to give orders to his or her teammates. Advertisement It's a novel idea, at least for this genre, but seems a little too sparse to actually encourage people to want to play it. While the ability to oversee the battle is a valuable one, there's not much more to do than play bossy-boots, meaning only the pointy end of an already decidedly pointy niche is probably going to bother with it.More appealing to the giant mecha fan faithful, I think, is the game's persistent online mode, which combines clan warfare with a game of...tower defence. No, really. Players can claim sections of the game's map, and if you come under attack while online, you just defend it yourself in a multiplayer match. But since Armored Core V has persistent online, if it comes under attack while you're away, your territory has to be defended in absentia by automatic turrets that you can place (and upgrade). Sponsored Since this was a Gamescom demo and not the real world, I couldn't see how well this actually worked, but in principle it sounds like a great incentive to get real good at tower defence games.I got to play in a four-player co-op match being led by an operator, and...well, let's just say Armored Core isn't a series you can just pick up and play at a trade show. Its just got too many controls and nuances to its play that someone can't just jump in and start blowing shit up. Advertisement I tried to do just that, though, and despite meeting an explosive and inevitable demise, can at least say the mechs contorlled srprising well and the game's effects looked gorgeous.Armored Core V will be out in 2012.Reply91 repliesLeave a reply

Jamaica, in the Caribbean Sea, celebrates its Independence Day on August 6 each year to commemorate its freedom from British colonial occupation.
How is Independence Day celebrated in Jamaica?
Fifty years ago at midnight on August 5, 1962, the Union Jack was lowered and the flag of Jamaica was unfurled for the first time. The birth of an independent Jamaica was, perhaps, the most significant event in the nation's history. Today, Jamaicans celebrate the day to commemorate that historic movement, and to reflect on the struggle undertaken to gain autonomy. It is a day of national pride and commemorates the country's achievements.
Independence Day is a day of grand celebrations in Jamaica; from paying homage to the fallen heroes who fought for the independence of the country to indulging in entertainment, music, dance, and parades with people attired in ethnic costumes, Jamaicans hold many laudatory events.
What is the historic significance of Independence Day of Jamaica?
Christopher Columbus first sighted Jamaica in 1494, and by 1509 Spanish colonists occupied the country. Britain established its control on Jamaica in 1655, but it was not until 1670 that the Spaniards gave up their control and recognized British dominance. The 1700s saw an economic boom with Jamaica becoming largest producer of sugar across the world. The economic boom, however, led to the growth of slavery and other evils. Slavery was later abolished in 1834 after the British colonists enacted the Emancipation Law in wake of growing slave revolts and uprisings.
At about this time nationalistic sentiments were on the rise and a movement towards independence started to take shape. In the1930s and early 1940s, Jamaica saw the birth of two political parties People's National Party (PNP), and Jamaica Labour Party (JLP). In 1944, Jamaica held its first elections which were won by JLP. JLP was replaced by PNP in 1955, and in 1958 Jamaica joined the Federation of West Indies, but withdrew in 1961. Finally, on August 6, 1962, Jamaica achieved freedom from British colonial rule.
What does the national flag of Jamaica represents?
Jamaica adopted its flag on August 6, 1962, the day it won its independence from the British. It consists of diagonal lines, dividing the flag into four triangles. While the top and bottom are equal green triangles, the left and the right triangles are black in color.
The flag has Pan-African colors, each of which venerates Jamaica's African legacy. While green is the symbol of hope and agricultural abundance, the yellow is representative of natural resources and sunshine, and Black stands for creativity and courage of the people.
Who wrote the national anthem of Jamaica?
Jamaica, Land We Love, is the national anthem of Jamaica. It was winning entrant of a completion that was held in 1961. It was set to music by Robert Lightbourne (arranged by Mapletoft Poulle) and its lyrics were written by Hugh Sherlock.

If you want to streamline laundry chores, learn how to avoid mishaps and take better care of your clothing. A few extra minutes of prep before you toss a load in the washer is worth the time and saves you from unwelcome surprises.
Inspect clothing in good light so you don't miss a stain and have to re-launder the item later. Water-based stains such as soda, coffee and blood usually have an outline around the perimeter similar to a road map. Oil-based stains from food oils and grease will be blotchy and darker than the garment. You can pre-treat water-based stains before laundering and have success at removing them completely. Oil-based stains don't come clean in most washers, and the heat of a dryer further sets the stain and can permanently ruin the item. Your best bet for oil-based stains is a dry cleaner.
Take those few extra minutes to check all pockets for stray items. Gum, lipstick or a tissue left behind can ruin an entire load of laundry and cost you far more time than the initial check-and-sort. Renee missed a red lipstick she'd tucked in her pocket, and she ran it through the wash cycle. The lipstick melted and left gummy red streaks on the entire load. She's learned her lesson and now consistently turns pockets inside out to avoid a repeat scary laundry mistake.
Using mesh bags to hold smaller and delicate items — like lingerie — cuts down on wear and tear, reduces tangling during the wash cycle and saves time when you're sorting.
Overloading your washer may leave you with clothes that are dirtier than when you started! The wash cycle is designed to run water and detergent through clothes to release the soil and flush it down the drain. Packing your washer too tightly means that dirt and grime will just transfer to other items and not get rinsed away. In Phoenix, Sarah's teenage son packed multiple pairs of muddy jeans and sweatshirts into her washer following a camping trip. The result? Mud soup, and extra work cleaning out the washer before they could divide the clothes into appropriately sized loads and rewash.
Most basic soil on clothing comes out in the first few minutes of the wash cycle, after the initial soaping. You can save time and cut energy costs by laundering some loads on a shorter cycle. Garments will also benefit, because a shorter cycle minimizes wear. Julie from Colorado says that she can do her family's sheets and towels on the shortest cycle because they are not heavily soiled. This way she saves on energy and has a load finished in half of the normal time.
Microscopic bacteria lurk in washers. Bleach not only makes your whites look brighter, but it's an effective way to kill germs! Make your last load a white one, and simply add bleach. The bleach multitasks, making laundry look great and smell fresh, and ridding the washer drum of nasty bacteria.
Leave the door slightly ajar after laundry chores to help air out the washer and avoid musty odors that might linger or build up.

Only a few single-phase materials exhibit both strong electric and magnetic properties. Composites that contain both electric and magnetic materials can be made, but this is difficult because the two materials must have compatible lattice structures and must also interact effectively with each other.
Now Ramamoorthy Ramesh at the University of California at Berkeley and co-workers at the University of Maryland, Rowan University, Virginia Tech and Pennsylvania State University have used laser deposition on a ceramic substrate to make a composite ferroelectromagnet from barium titanate and cobalt ferrite. This former is ferroelectric, while the latter is ferromagnetic, and both have similar lattice dimensions.
When they looked at the composite with atomic force and transmission electron microscopes, Ramesh and co-workers found that the two compounds had self-assembled into hexagonal arrays with nanopillars made of cobalt ferrite embedded in a barium titanate matrix. The ferrite nanopillars were evenly sized and spaced about 20 to 30 nanometres apart (see figure).
The composite nanostructure shows three-dimensional heteroepitaxy, which means that the two phases are epitaxial with respect to the substrate and also with respect to each other. This leads to strong mechanical coupling between the two phases, which the team demonstrated by measuring how the magnetic properties of the material changed with temperature. They found a distinct drop in the magnetization around the Curie temperature, which indicated that the ferroelectric and ferromagnetic phases had indeed coupled.
"We now need to get long-range order among the nanopillars, meaning that they arrange themselves into a lattice with a periodicity of say 50 to 100 nanometres," Ramesh told PhysicsWeb. "We could then have electrically and magnetically tuneable photonic structures." The researchers now plan to build nanostructures on technologically important substrates such as silicon, and to apply the technique to other materials.

The drum and bass card is pretty cool. It has some real nice acoustic drum sounds and one good electronic kit. It is well worth the $200 bucks. Most of the kits on this card blow away the on board sounds. Blending the best of the two, I think is the best way to go.
Hope this helps.
For the money, I still don't think you can beat an XP-80. Especially if you are going to do your sequences on board and not use a PC.
ANd how do i put two drum tracks in a performance set!!
Besides all this it's wonderful...and this synth is gonna take me somewhere..
e-mail me with your answers : email@example.com
p.s. A.R. Rahman is the bomb...:)
My ONLY gripe is something I have yet to understand. There is a noticeable timing problem when playing back sequenced material. Both internal and external sequences have a timing problem that is best heard at the beginning of each measure. I think someone else has posted a like problem on this page. A slight delay...what's the deal with that? If you know, PLEASE e-mail me! (firstname.lastname@example.com)
