There was mystery and horror in the video store. As a boy, I'd go with my parents and browse the endless shelves, chills of dread hitting me as I entered the horror section. The covers were alluring and terrible, promising devastating visions of murder and demonic or mutant monstrosities.
These were the days before the Internet, when television advertising was prohibitively expensive for the independent studios that released many of the world's genre films. Only the big budget films made it to Hagerstown, MD. This was a town that never ran a Woody Allen film, much less C.H.U.D. or Defcon 4. Unless you were a subscriber to Fangoria, or a similar magazine, your only entree into the world of horror was the box art and the descriptions on the back. The only other marketing channel came in the form of your friends hushed whispers at lunch, intoning with terrible seriousness: "In Faces of Death, they kill real people!"
One of the films that stuck with me the most was Watcher in the Woods, a Disney release from 1980. In those days, Disney was on the wane – the studio's clout briefly evaporated in the years leading up to The Little Mermaid and the launch of their more adult-focused label, Touchstone Pictures. They were viewed as old-fashioned and too family-friendly, once their strength in the marketplace, but now a severe liability in the age of Home Box Office. Kids in the 1980s were much more sophisticated than their forebears, they didn't want to be patronized. But what could be more cloying and patronizing than Flubber, The Absent-Minded Professor, or Bedknobs and Broomsticks?
Disney tried to deal with this shift in offering movies with a bit more of an edge, but not too much of an edge. This included The Black Hole, Tron, and yes, Watcher in the Woods.
Watcher in the Woods was unusual in that it was a horror film placed in the family section. A shark, in a pool of guppies. It sat on the shelf generating dread, that caused the other films around it to shudder. The box art was centered on a sinister old woman, a blonde teenage girl at her side. Their eyes gazed out of the box at… something in the middle distance. The old woman wore a black shawl pulled up over her head, framing the intensity of her craggy face. I didn't know it at the time, but that woman was Bette Davis, legendary screen actress. It was her intensity that exploded out of that box cover, her alone and not the fearful waif by her side that made you want to pick it up and read the back.
I looked at that cover for years, before I decided to rent it. I was terrified, but I had to conquer this monster. The beast must be slain!
In truth, the film wasn't much of a beast. The film, which Disney executives described naively as "our Exorcist" had been toned down considerably through the course of production. The plot was pretty rote – an American family moves to an English manor, and the teenage daughter becomes embroiled in a mystery involving a landlady (Bette Davis) and her long-missing daughter. In the end, and I apologize if this is a spoiler, it turns out her missing daughter had been taken to another dimension in a weird new age ceremony that the teenage girl must now now recreate. "The Watcher" in the title is actually an extra dimensional being and, through the course of a summoning ceremony, it returns and the girl is brought back.
My initial response was "Oh, that wasn't so bad," but it gradually settled into bleak disappointment. I wanted it to destroy my psyche as much as a PG rated film could – I wanted it to mean more. Why was the Watcher just a beam of light? Why was the terrible old woman played by Bette Davis merely a grieving mother and not the dark prophet the box cover suggested?
The reality, obviously, was much different than what was in my head. As I grew older, I began to miss the terrifying films I imagined were inside those VHS boxes – as most of the films were actually terrible. Now, I don't find many modern horror films particularly scary, relying so much on jump scares and editing to generate terror. It's a rare horror film that can actually deliver, and none can match what the imagination can easily make itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
Because our drone design combines a flying wing and VTOL capabilities, we had a lot of interest when launching this product. Here are some frequently asked questions:
How is the X PlusOne different from any other drone?
The main difference between the X PlusOne and any other drone is the ability to both hover and fly fast efficiently.
The focus on speed and efficiency during forward flight is also the key difference between the X PlusOne and similar hybrid VTOL concepts (Quadshot, Google Project Wing, etc).
How much weight will it carry (payload)?
The maximum payload capacity is one pound.
What is the range/how far away can you fly?
We use a full-range 2.4 GHz radio system in the X PlusOne. The range of the system is greater than 1 mile (1.6 km) but we wouldn't recommend flying that far away. Current US rules require that you fly your craft within line of sight and no higher than 400 feet.
Can it fly in the wind?
Yes. The X PlusOne has been tested in winds up to 30 mph and it performs well. Of course, the operator needs to be aware of the tendency for the craft to float downwind but the self-stabilizing feature holds well in high winds. The wing actually generates some additional lift during hover in the wind.
What is it made out of?
The airframe is carbon fiber reinforced molded EPO foam. We chose EPO because of it's high resiliency and smooth surface finish.
What flight controller does it use?
The X PlusOne uses an Arduino-based control board with custom software.
Is it autonomous/ have "follow-me"/ aerial mapping functions?
Yes! An autonomous option is available: the X PlusOne Ai. "Follow-Me" and all autonomous functions are available with this option. To receive the X PlusOne Ai, just choose your add-on reward (there are two) and increase your pledge by the appropriate amount.
How long will it fly on a battery charge?
The X PlusOne will fly 12-22 minutes on a charge but a lot depends on how you're flying. Flying fast the entire time will drain the battery quicker. Battery packs are simple to swap and we will offer additional packs to all of our backers.
How do I order multiple X PlusOne packages?
Select the appropriate reward level and multiply the amount (including shipping) by the number of X PlusOne packages you'd like.

3 Ways to Use Reddit for Free Traffic. Reddit has grown into one of the biggest websites out there and it's called the front page of the internet, because every article before it goes trendy it hits Reddit first.
I will explain how to use this monster to drive thousands of traffic to your site and how to use it with caution. Because Reddit is a beast and you need to use caution for posting on it.
Most of the users of Reddit are very strictly about affiliate marketers and spam so if you are planning any related promotion which is pure spam you will never receive traffic from it. In today's post I will introduce you with Reddit and how you can generate traffic from it.
I will not explain a precise way to use it to generate traffic because I will be writing a whole book and not a single post about it, so expect to see 10 posts about how to generate Reddit for traffic, all of it's tactics and wholes in the algorithm I will explain to you.
Create an Account
Creating an account with Reddit is free and very fast to do. You would need a valid email, they also accept account created without any email but that can be risky. Create your account, here is an image you can see how to do it:
I'm explaining 3 Ways to Use Reddit for Free Traffic but as I said I will focus on traffic methods in the posts to come, I will cover the basics here.
Create an account and don't lie, it's required to provide your information.
Choose a SubReddit
Pick your subreddit, that is a little part of Reddit, I don't know how to correctly explain it but it's a piece of the cake. For example you have subReddits about almost everything and this is where you belong. You have about History, which I'm a big fan, Politics, Horror, News, Celebrity, Funny, almost every niche is covered. Pick the closes related to your niche.
I have a big passion for history and I study about it as well. Here is the traffic at the moment on this sub reddit.
I can say history is a weaker subject, imagine the power in the bigger fields. Well there are 5 million readers so I cannot complain.
3 Ways to Use Reddit for Free Traffic:
Here are the 3 Ways to Use Reddit for Free Traffic as I said, let's start with the most basic one.
1.Submit a link
The most basic one is to be on the front page, submit the right content which people will love seeing and enjoy reading and boom, you will receive thousands of hits in minutes. So you have to work really hard for the right piece of content.
2.Comment and engage
You can also engage with other fellow redditors and comment with a hyperlink in order to drive traffic from big threads.
3.Brand promotion
You don't have to insert a link in order to receive traffic, you can also brand yourself. Submit a text post with some great hook and mention your business. It can be seen by thousands of people, but this would be the last option to consider.
I hope you enjoyed my post about traffic from Reddit, I will write many more posts about Reddit and how to use it for proper promotion. I don't use Reddit for this blog but I use it for my other content blogs which I update on a daily basis.

Period 6 "Charles" by:Shirley Jackson Laurie is starting kindergarten and when he gets home from the first day. Laurie gets in big trouble, but he tells his parents it was "Charles" who doesn't exist. But in the end his mom finds out what happened. Determining Importance Connections T-S I changed when I went to school
my personality and how I dressed and
what shoes I wore. T-S Our class 2nd grade class bad troublemaker
everyday he would get in trouble
and sometimes I was involved and
I got in trouble. T-W In every class I think there is always a troublemaker or sometimes called class clown. Visualizing I visualized a nice town with nice people
and a good school to attend. I visualized Laurie's house, as a nice house and that red chair in the middle of the the living room. A nice family with a mastermind child. I could visualize Laurie's face when his teacher told his mom there was no Charles in the kindergarten. Questioning On my own Why did Laurie make
up the story of Charles?
Because he did not want
to get in trouble. In the book
What did "Charles" do to
make the little girl cry?
He bounced the see saw and
it hit her in the head. On my Own
Who is Charles really?
I think it is Laurie because the teacher said
there isn't a Charles and that Laurie was telling
the stories of what Charles did everyday, and he said Charles had to stay after and Laurie was late the same day. Synthesizing I thought that Charles was a bad kid till he had that
really good week so I started to think differently about it but then went back to being bad and had more trouble adjusting again. The other was I thought that Charles was real when I started to read this book, but at the end when the teacher said that there was no Charles I had to think is "Charles" really Laurie.

Maybe I've outgrown the write your novel at breakneck speed phase. This November will be my tenth NaNoWriMo, maybe it's time for a more measured approach. Dunno. But cranking out words in order to meet the wordcount doesnt' make sense to me anymore.
Getting words on the page for the sake of getting words on the page was important when I was just beginning to write. But I don't need to prove to myself anymore that I can do it. I know I can. I think I may reduce my daily quota to 750 words, which is considerably less than 1613. If the writing goes well and I want to keep going, excellent. But typing on just because I decided I need to write the first draft of this novel in one month, after all? No, I don't think so.

The holiday season is over, and it's time to return to the daily grind of school. When Walter stops in to pick up Miss Brooks for school, she learns that Stretch Snodgrass has a problem. At school, she learns of a problem that Mr Conklin has. He needs Connie to write a speech for him, but will her buttering up build his confidence to do it himself? Stretch demonstrates his wonderful English abilities, both in speech and in writing. I feel a mix up coming on.
Connie accidentally tears up Conklin's speech, and mistakes Stretch's butchered essay for it instead. At the same time, that prankster Walter Denton has something special cooked up to greet Mr Stone. Mix ups abound in this episode, and when it's time for the big speech, explosive results are in store. The shellshocked Conklin has temporarily lost his hearing, and he tries to fake his way through his meeting with Mr Stone.
In epilog, his hearing clears for a moment of revenge on Connie.

To me, pretty much locked in as a 43 DE. Looks like a Bengals' type DE: tall and long arms.
He does have the frame to put on 15 pounds to maybe shift to a 34 DE, but he'd have to get stronger.
I think he ends up a late second or early third.

Sitting here after work...with a beverage in hand...I hope this kid works through his difficulties and has a great life. Football is secondary to me but if he can straighten up as a niner I will be so much more gratified than if he straightens up for/with another team. I haven't read anything that indicates he is a bad person.

I was kinda surprised that the Cardinals, who basically run a 3-4 scheme, picked him in the 3th. Where do you people think they will play him ?

Yes good point. Basically they run a 3-4 but their devensive coordinator Todd Bowles definitely switches things around up front quite a bit. Using different looks and hybrid formations which makes Martin a good fit as their hybrid defensive end/linebacker.

From 2 Kings 9-11
A few more kings have passed on Judah's side. In today's reading Elisha will have the next king in line for Israel anointed. Today's account is a little different than normal.
This post is part of my bible in a year series.
Passage and Comments
9 Then Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets and said to him, "Tie up your garments, and take this flask of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth-gilead. 2 And when you arrive, look there for Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi. And go in and have him rise from among his fellows, and lead him to an inner chamber. 3 Then take the flask of oil and pour it on his head and say, 'Thus says the LORD, I anoint you king over Israel.' Then open the door and flee; do not linger." (2 Ki 9.1-3)
4 So the young man, the servant of the prophet, went to Ramoth-gilead. 5 And when he came, behold, the commanders of the army were in council. And he said, "I have a word for you, O commander." And Jehu said, "To which of us all?" And he said, "To you, O commander." 6 So he arose and went into the house. And the young man poured the oil on his head, saying to him, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, I anoint you king over the people of the LORD, over Israel. 7 And you shall strike down the house of Ahab your master, so that I may avenge on Jezebel the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD. 8 For the whole house of Ahab shall perish, and I will cut off from Ahab every male, bond or free, in Israel. 9 And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah. 10 And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the territory of Jezreel, and none shall bury her." Then he opened the door and fled. (2 Ki 9.4-10)
11 When Jehu came out to the servants of his master, they said to him, "Is all well? Why did this mad fellow come to you?" And he said to them, "You know the fellow and his talk." (2 Ki 9.11)
12 And they said, "That is not true; tell us now." And he said, "Thus and so he spoke to me, saying, 'Thus says the LORD, I anoint you king over Israel.' " 13 Then in haste every man of them took his garment and put it under him on the bare steps, and they blew the trumpet and proclaimed, "Jehu is king." (2 Ki 9.12-13)
Story of Israel
One difference between Israel and Judah is the line of Judah remained unbroken. Like Ahabs line sometimes whole households were destroyed. Sometimes Israel had two kings competing with each other for rule. It cannot be said for Judah. His line was preserved because of the LORD's promise that a son of Davids would have an eternal kingdom (2 Sam 7).
Story of Jesus
44 And Jesus cried out and said, "Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me. 45 And whoever sees me sees him who sent me. 46 I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. 47 If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day. 49 For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment—what to say and what to speak. 50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has told me." (Jn 12.44-50)

Beef Stew Pot Pies
Monica Keleher1
I love to make stews on cold New England winter days and I serve it with a nice hunk of crusty bread, and I enjoy chicken pot pies especially the flaky crust yummmmo so I thought hmmmmm Beef stew pot pie. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
- 2 lb
- stew beef, cut into bit sized pieces
- 1 pkg
- frozen pearl onions
- 1 pkg
- frozen peas and carrots
- 2 box
- beef stock (unsalted)
- 1/2 c
- red wine (i used tawny port this time, but i have used all types and they all work)
- 2 c
- flour
- 1
- carrot diced
- 1
- celery stalk diced
- 1
- small onion diced
- 1
- garlic clovedminced
- 2 Tbsp
- tomato paste
- 4
- slices of slab bacon cut into ladons
- 2 Tbsp
- unsalted butter
- olive oil
- fingerling or small potatoes cut into uniform bit sized pieces. i love the mutli colored fingerlings they are red, purple and golden
- mushrooms diced (any kind work fine)
- bay leaf
- 1 tsp
- dried thyme, put 1/2 in the flour and 1/2 into the stew
- salt and pepper
- parsley roughly chopped
- 1
- granulated garlic
- dried rosemary
- puff pastry sheet, thawed
- 1
- egg
How to Make Beef Stew Pot Pies
- 3Add the floured beef to the hot bacon fat, you may need to add some butter and or oil as you cook the meat in batches. Brown all the meat on all sides. Keep the heat on lower so that you don't burn the bottom bits in the pan. You'll want to keep those to scrape off into the stew when you add the wine. Adds so much flavor.
- 8Add the pearl onions. I like to thicken my stew with room temperature butter and the flour (equal parts of both) I used to coat the beef. incorporate the butter and flour till well mixed and add little by little to the simmering stew until it thickens to your liking. Taste for seasonings and adjust.

Google's mobile blog has posted their official video for the unveiling of the newest sculpture to grace the lawn at Google's Building 44, this one being the most complicated of the whole crew. As you may already be aware, each time a new version of Android comes out, it's given the name of a tasty treat. The name for Android 2.3 was Gingerbread, thusly a gigantic Gingerbread man is highly visible behind the Honeycomb sculpture you'll soon see being erected in the video below. Behold the loveliness of the Android tablet OS in gigantic plastic form.
Again I must mention that this is by far the most complicated sculpture they've added to the grassy area in front of Google's Building 44, more than likely showing the complexity inherent in the system as this OS is meant to be more of an all-encompassing system than any Android platform released before. You'll see two-toned honeycomb, a gigantic terrifying bee, and an Andy the Android poking through the bottom, looking up at his black and yellow friend.
Interestingly enough this Android seems to be basically the same size as the one that appeared in the Sony Ericsson commercial from a few weeks ago, the one where he gets some human thumbs grafted on to show the neatness of the PlayStation phone. Is this this standard size of the 3D character Andy?
This mystery is severely important.

This week's Dagashi Kashi was another episode of Dagashi Kashi. The first half here was actually one of the show's most endearing segments, as the gang got together to hang out and tell ghost stories while a typhoon raged overhead. It was nice to see how the overall group dynamic has settled at this point, as all four of the friends seem very comfortable with each other, and all contribute something different to the group. Based on the show's advertising, I'd expected Hotaru to be more of a comic device/unreachable love interest than just another slightly weird main character, but the show is much stronger for the choices it's made. The second half here was weaker, but Dagashi Kashi is still a fine time.
You can check out my full review over at ANN, or my notes below!
There's a typhoon on, so the gang is stuck inside with the lights off, telling ghost stories by candelight
Kokonotsu is not impressed with To's fairly underwhelming ghost story
Apparently these stories come from a kind of dagashi gum that includes horror stories, so Hotaru's able to finish the story for Saya
Kokonotsu continually questioning the logic and storytelling of these scary stories
Kokonotsu and Hotaru bonding over being pedantic about horror storytelling is pretty cute
As is Saya being unintentionally bullied by Hotaru rattling off all these horror scenarios
Hotaru "reveals" that all the stories are made up by company employees, Saya rightly says that knowing they're fiction doesn't make them less scary
To attesting that Kendama (that ball-string-cup game) is popular on the streets
Kokonotsu disagrees, and then To just buys two of them to prove his point. Classic boy/To behavior
This extended shot of Kokonotsu getting frustrated with the toy is nicely naturalistic
And of course To actually got this idea from a youtube video
Saya is obviously really good at it
The jokes about To wasting money aren't funny at all
To and Kokonotsu talking about becoming popular and understanding a girl's mind. Pretty classic boy stuff
The shots of To as a toast-chewing high school girl are pretty silly
And Hotaru is the boy she runs into. This unexplained nonsense fantasy is better for not being questioned or explained
Kokonotsu getting carried along with To's enthusiasm is a nice reflection of his general personality

URBANA — The University of Illinois Flash Index for September increased slightly, reflecting a continuing pattern of slow, steady growth in the state over the last year.
The September index increased to 103.2, up from 102.9 level in August. The index is at the highest level since March 2008; however, the pace of recovery from the 2007-2009 recession remains sluggish, according to UI economist Fred Giertz, who compiles the Flash Index for the Institute of Government and Public Affairs.
"The Flash Index performance corresponds to the slow national growth rate that was recently revised downward to 1.3 percent for the second quarter and the continued high unemployment rate," Giertz said. Illinois' unemployment rate in August was 9.1 percent, down from 10.2 percent a year earlier. This illustrates improvement in the economy, but the rate is still extremely high by historical standards, according to Giertz.
Only the corporate tax component of the index was up in real terms compared to the same month last year, while individual income and sales tax receipts fell.
The country is now three years and three months into the recovery from the 2007-2009 recession. Three years and three months into the recovery from the 2001 recession, which lasted from March to November according to the National Bureau of Economic Research, the Flash Index had increased to 104.2, according to the university. By 39 months after the 1991 recession, the index was at 104.3.
The Flash Index is a weighted average of Illinois growth rates in corporate earnings, consumer spending and personal income. Tax receipts from corporate income, personal income and retail sales are adjusted for inflation before growth rates are calculated. The growth rate for each component is then calculated for the 12-month period using data through Sept. 30, 2012.

IT'S a long way to go for a physics lesson.
Students from Birkdale School visited the most exciting development in the field of physics when they travelled to Geneva in Switzerland.
They learned about the Large Hadron Collider, run by CERN, and its work to address the most fundamental questions on physics by smashing particles together at incredible speeds.
The sixth form students said the highlight was seeing one of the massive detectors which manages data from 40 million events per second.
A school spokesman said: "The exhibitions were informative and interesting the highlight was by far the visit to the Compact Muon Solenoid detector."

This is understandable: unlike, say, the drills at the pump is not idle – it just has to start pumping water. Engine The engine is rightly viewed as 'heart' installation. It was his resource defines the term 'life' power: the average time between failures of an electric power is always several times higher than that of the motor. In most cases, the class of plants is determined used engines or, more precisely, its lifespan. In particular, high-quality gasoline engine uptime before the first failure probability is calculated on average 3-5 thousand hours, whereas the simplified cheap motor – just hundreds. Diesel power, usually have the resources is much higher than petrol, its economical fuel consumption, and self-diesel fuel cheaper than gasoline and can be less stringent conditions for storage, but the power collected at the base diesel engine in 1,5-2 times more expensive than similar in power, but collected at the base gasoline engine.
Therefore, the choice in favor of the plant collected in the the base diesel engine rationally do if: – the use of power as the main source of power (at least in cases of prolonged use it) – the use of a homogeneous species fuel (availability of units operating on diesel fuel) – electric power above 10-12 kVA, which power to gasoline engines practically applied. Distinguish high-quality motor on the outside signs are not always easy. If before the mini-power plants are widely used engines with side valves, it is now very often – the overhead, performance, approximately 30% higher.
Vosper Thorneycroft Engine
As a result of their propulsive performance modern water-jet almost as good as the propeller, and at high speeds and often exceeds it. Water cannon is very popular, where high-speed small craft should move freely in shallow water. Firm 'Vospauer' – a division of the famous British company 'Vosper Thorneycroft', which is building a small patrol boats and military vessels, has developed a series of water jets for advanced landing craft as the only engine of this allows such a vessel on the go 'pop' on the beach, and then weigh it on their own through the back of the jet, which drives the water under the hull. This advantage can be use and pleasure crafts, specially designed for 'landing' on unequipped shelving shore. Perhaps that is why the American company 'Hinckley' water cannon installed on their 36-foot model deykreysera, which by chance is called 'Picnic'. Safety – another positive feature water jet. The impeller is located inside the boat and not a danger to people nearby in the water.
This – the main reason for used water cannons and jet-skiers in tow. Rescue boats – another area where the water jets can play safety critical. In most cases, water-jet boat added solid fraction of the weight. Precise: not so much an engine as being in the water it constantly. When calculating the weight of the propulsion speed vessels of this water must be to add on to the weight of the vessel. Part of this added weight may compensated for the lack of line shafting gear as reverse and 'stop' provides a simple turn of the deflector (but in most plants need at least clutch between the engine and water cannons to the motor can operate independently of an engine operating mode).

Never Events Not Always PreventableMarch 23rd, 2010 | Sources: MedPageToday
Subjects: Quality and safety
Patient risk factors like advanced age increase the likelihood of some so-called "never events" in hospitals, according to a report in last month's Archives of Surgery. The findings do not support Medicare's current policy of denying payments associated with treatments for such events.
To reach this conclusion, Donald Fry and colleagues analyzed 890,000 surgeries in 1,368 hospitals using the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project's Nationwide Inpatient Sample. They studied abdominal hysterectomy, aorto-femoral bypass, colon resection, coronary artery bypass grafting and total hip replacement.
The researchers looked for associations between patient factors like comorbidities, age and gender and 8 "never event" complications, including C. difficile, MRSA, and surgical site infections, catheter-associated vascular and urinary tract infections, mediastinitis after CABG, decubitus ulcers and post-operative pneumonia.
They found that patient age and comorbid conditions like renal failure and weight loss were associated with a much higher risk of many of these "never event" complications.
The odds ratios ranged from 1.8 for unscheduled admission as a predictor for C. difficile enterocolitis to 16.4 for malnutrition and weight loss as a risk factor for intravascular device infection.
"Calling these complications never events and refusing to pay for their treatment may advantage high-quality caregivers, but it also will penalize providers that care for the most vulnerable patients or that perform procedures with higher-than-average risk," Fry's group wrote.
Medicare's "never events" list was implemented 2 years ago. It includes obvious mistakes like transfusing the wrong blood type and wrong-site surgeries.
But the list also features complications that may not be preventable. In addition to those mentioned above, the list includes falls in the hospital, inadequate blood glucose control, pulmonary embolism and drug-induced delerium.

We respect your privacy. We won't spam you.
Use YouQueens steps to learn what to do when your boyfriend starts acting completely different. Read on to also learn how to prevent this from happening again!
Relationships are a complicated, beautiful, stressful, exciting, and sometimes worrisome part of life. Things in a relationship may be going smoothly, and perfectly. Or, things in a relationship may be tense, a little off track, but still good. However, relationships may also become stressful, saddening, and worrisome very quickly.
You may be thinking that your relationship won't get to the last scenario. However, many people do get to that stage because life happens, there are stressors at work, family issues, health issues, or relationship issues. The list is technically endless, so no matter what, getting to that scenario is possible.
Many women find that they get to that third scenario of a stressful, worried, and saddened state because their boyfriend does an 180-degree twist and is acting completely different. Once these women start their journey of worrying, it only gets worse and leaves them fretting over what is to come. However, most women stay in this stage and allow for it to progressively become worse because many women don't actually know what to do.
Read on to figure out what to do when your boyfriend starts acting completely different, and to also see how you both can prevent this strain on your relationship from happening again!
Knowing what to do when your boyfriend starts acting completely different is very difficult. Whatever emotions you are feeling when this occurs is normal. However, don't add feeling ashamed to the mix. Despite the common misconception that us girlfriends are supposed to always know what to do, it is actually normal to not know what to do. So whatever you do, do not feel ashamed, there is no reason to.
Now, an important point to note is that you know your boyfriend best. Meaning, whichever of the suggestions below would suit him best, that is the solution that is the most optimal option for you to go with. However, you may need to stray from what you think would work and think outside of the box for this case.
Think about it this way, if he is acting completely different, he will either respond to something that always works and suits him as it is comfortable and soothing. Or, he will respond to a technique that is a little out of the blue for him.
Either way, make sure what you chose is best for you, your boyfriend, and your relationship.
He will always have an unshakeable urge to seek out a woman who has this one "secret ingredient."
Although it may seem that your relationship is falling apart, coming to an end, or that your boyfriend needs you. You need to give him some space. However, you need to do this properly. You need to still send the occasional text saying "I love you", "I miss you", "hope you are okay", or "I'm here when you are ready to talk". Additionally, you also need to still see him, hug him, and show him that you care and are worried.
However, many women find that giving space is one of the hardest options to do when your boyfriend starts acting completely different. This is for an array of reasons: maybe you are too concerned about them, don't like the uncertainty of waiting and not trying, or you just feel the need to break this streak and help your boyfriend.
No matter what choice you do, just remember that space can be a good thing and will allow your boyfriend to clear his head. However, it may also just make things worse for him. This is when you need to look at what is going on in your relationship and your boyfriends' life, in order to see what you should do, because you know him best.
This is arguably the best option to use for when your boyfriend is acting completely different. Even if your boyfriend has tossed his phone away somewhere and isn't texting you back, or is avoiding you. You need to confront them in a sweet and caring way.
By doing this, you will then open up a communication channel which in turn, will hopefully urge and be the push your boyfriend needs to explain what is going on. Once he does this, you need to be supportive, understanding, and also communicate your thoughts and feelings about how he has been acting and how you feel. You also need to remind him that you love and care for him.
By reassuring your boyfriend of his worries, stress, and any other issues you will help elevate his burden, which should help him get back to how he normally acts. Although you may not be able to fix or help him with everything that has caused him to act completely different, you will still be able to make him feel slightly better. Once you do this, you will see him start to return to his normal self.
However, your work as his dedicated, loving, and loyal girlfriend is not done. You will still need to help him out, reassure him, and ensure he feels calm because he will need time to decompress. Meaning, don't nag him, bother him, stress him out, and don't give him chores. Just let him get back to normal.
Although this may sound easy, it can be quite difficult. After you have figured out what to do when your boyfriend started acting completely different, and you then resolved the issues, you then need to get back to normal.
You both need to talk, laugh, cuddle, chill out, and do something that is very normal, comforting, fun, and embodies who the both of you are as a couple. Once you do this, you will help your boyfriend even more than you already have. You also will have strengthened your relationship and created a bigger and better bond and connection.
Upon doing this, you also will show your boyfriend that you do love him, care for him, support him, and are always going to be by his side. After all, you are his teammate, best friend, and are with him no matter what may come between the two of you.
This part is quite simple. However, it takes two to tango. Meaning, you both have to be willing to try to work together, communicate everything, and to support each other. You and your boyfriend also can't bottle up any feelings or issues.
Instead, you both need to communicate and share any thoughts, feelings, complaints, emotions, realities (even if they are harsh), and issues with each other. This way there will be no resentment, no stress eating away at either one of you, and you will both be aware of what is going on with each other. Keep in mind that the key to this is to do everything nicely and in a mature, rational manner.
Once you are aware of all of this, you will be able to help your partner, support them fully and properly, and to also be there for them. By doing this, you will also avoid either one of you starting to act completely different.
Instead, you will go through these things together, and they also won't take such a toll on you because you will have each other. You will find that being so open will allow your relationship to grow and the two of you will become even closer and stronger than ever.
I hope this will help you, help your boyfriend and strengthen your relationship. As well, if you have any other solutions for what to do when your boyfriend starts acting completely different, feel free to share!

His Time has Arrived
My son, you are now a man. I never doubted God's word though I did not understand how He would accomplish His plans. I trusted His care for me when I knew the consequences. Fear was not there but questions yes. I pondered many things.
My eyes have seen Shepherds and Kings praise you. My ears have heard horrible news as some sought to kill you. My heart dropped at the prophecy of a good holy man and the pronouncement of a trusted daughter of Israel.
I believed you and I were safe even as we fled through the desert. I should not have been surprised when bandits provided us hospitality. Even though I was led to understand what would happen, I still felt amazement as the idols crashed to the ground. I was overwhelmed when the high Priest bowed as he said the idols did.
I was cared for among strangers who became friends. I waited for the Angels to direct my husband whom I trust with my soul and my life.
Time has passed and now my son is a man. We have been to the Temple many times, but this trip is special, his first as a man.
I am watching him. Does he know I am watching him? He is with Joseph and the other men. Then he is with his friends as their energy drives them to horseplay. I was a bit shocked when I saw Jesus with the other young men as they noticed the young women with us. They tried to conceal their interest, they failed. Jesus had a far off look on his face as if he was looking beyond the beauty of the girls.
We will arrive in Jerusalem tomorrow. Our group will join many others who are journeying there. Everyone is excited for the feast. I too am excited but also I wonder, how will my son the man be this time in Jerusalem?
The Passover in Jerusalem
We are in Jerusalem for the Passover celebration. Mary, Jesus, myself, my cousins, nephews and uncles, our friends and neighbors. O glorious day! During our stay in Egypt, I dreamed of the Temple, yearned for the Temple. We have been to it since our return, but this trip is special. Jesus is now a man, He is twelve years old. He traveled up here spending most of his time with his cousins who are the same age as he or nearly so, all of them staying in a group. I spent some time walking near them, they argue like old men, each trying to impress the others with their knowledge of Scripture. Jesus joined in but not quite like the others. He did not argue or try to defeat them, rather he seemed more like he was trying to find the deeper meanings in the questions and explain the meaning to the others. Sometimes they were amazed at his conclusions, at other times, they refused to agree even if his argument made sense.
We will return to Nazareth in a few days, I wish this time would not end. Mary is happy, truly joyous at seeing her Son become a man. She speaks of her love and pride for him. I am happy for Jesus and happy for her.
God is good. To be able to pray in the Temple, to spend time with my wife and son, to be able to share this special moment with my kindred in such a joyous event at such a special time in Jesus' life. It feels as if my heart will leap from my chest, my mouth wants to shout Alleluia.
Thank You Father for this blessing! I will remember this time the rest of my life. Indeed, I don't think this joy will ever leave me during the rest of my life.
Where is He
Panic! Terror! Where is our son? The celebration of the Pasch ended and it was time to journey home. As in our travels here I traveled with the men, Mary traveled with the women. The young men all kept together continuing their arguments. I was certain Jesus was with them.
Jesus was with us before we started the trip, I saw him standing with the group he came up with. After we started I was engaged in conversation with several friends and family members. They all wanted to talk about Jesus and how impressed they were with him. "A fine young man," said my uncle. "A scholar of the Torah at such a young age," said a friend. "He is wise beyond his years," was the opinion of many. I found Mary and she was having the same experience among the women. Many of the women said how he will make a wonderful husband one day, especially those who had daughters to marry off. After two days of our friends and family singing his praises, we decided to tell him how proud we were of him and of the wonderful things people were saying about him.
We sought him among the young men, but he was not there. We then checked to see if he was looking for us among the men or the women, and he was not there. We then asked the young men where Jesus was, they said they had not seen him since we started home. My heart that was lifted to heaven days before was now dashed to the ground. Mary, ever calm and steady had fear and tears in her eyes. There was only one thing we could do. We hurried back to Jerusalem, our prayers moving up to heaven faster than our feet are skimming across the ground.
Mary is the most scared I have ever seen her. She is quaking Not even when we fled to Egypt did she appear so scared. Jesus is not among our group. I thought he was with her or the young men, she thought he was with me or the young men. I am trying to look calm so as to not add to her fear, but I am in a panic as well. Jerusalem was a madhouse with the crowds for the Passover, so many pilgrims and so many predators to feast on the pilgrims. Please Lord, keep Him safe.
I should have been more vigilant at keeping my eye on him. He has never done anything to cause us distress. He certainly would not leave us on his own without telling us. He must be aware that such an action would cause us great grief. That is why I am so afraid. Is he alive? Will we find his body on the side of the road as we return to Jerusalem? I mustn't speak these fears to Mary. I must find Jesus and I must protect Mary. God help me to do both.
I Have Failed
I am a failure. I have failed my son and I have failed God. Jesus is lost. How does a mother lose her child? How do you lose the gift that was given to you by God?
Elizabeth said all generations will call me blessed. No, all generations will remember me as the mother who lost her Son, the Messiah!
Joseph is blaming himself and trying to comfort me. I don't want to be comforted, I want Jesus. I want him here with me so I know he is safe.
I am also a failure as a wife. My husband is deeply distressed. I should be easing his pain, but I can't because my pain is so great.
We have fled for our lives. We were captured by bandits and lived among strangers yet we have always been together. This truly must be the sword the Simeon prophesied. I am no longer whole. I am shattered, torn asunder. A sword has cleaved my soul. Where is my son? Jesus, where are you?
———————————————————————————————————————He is Safe
When we arrived in Jerusalem we first went to the room we had stayed in but he was not there. We prayed together and then decided to search for him at the Temple. We found him. He is safe!
He was seated with the Priests and Elders as they discussed the Scriptures. I heard his voice as I approached. He was asking a question most profound that seemed to stump all who were gathered with him. He waited for a bit and when it became obvious by their silence that they were unsure how to answer he offered a thought. I smiled at the way he did it. Instead of making a pronouncement to his seniors he answered his own question with another question, seeking their opinion and approval.
Mary stood next me watching the whole moment, she smiled at the way Jesus was teaching those whose job it is to teach. She wanted to call to him, as did I, but we were transfixed by what we were seeing and hearing.
The whole company of men nodded in approval at his proposal and then added some points of their own. After they had finished we called to him.
He turned his eyes to us, as his gaze met mine I felt a lump in my throat and a tightness in my chest. I tried to speak but could not. Mary however did. She chided him for disappearing on us. His gaze met hers and I will never forget his reply, "Did you not know I had to be about my Father's work?"
He got up and rejoined us. We are traveling home together, a family. I have many questions I want to ask, but they will wait. Jesus is with us. Mary is content with that. Soon we will be home safe. After that, I will try to find the answers to my questions.
———————————————————————————————————————He has Never Done Anything Like This
We are back in Machmas. It was here that we discovered Jesus was missing. He is with us now. He is asleep a few feet from me. I can see His cloak rising with each breath. I can hear the sweet sound of his breathing. Sleep eludes me but just watching my son sleep is more restful than sleep.
Joseph is by my side. He is tossing and turning in his sleep. He has not stopped apologizing to me since we found Jesus. It was not his fault. It was not my fault either. Jesus has never done anything his entire life to cause us heartache, that is until now.
That is the reason my heart froze with fear. He was missing. He would never deliberately separate himself from me or his father in a way that would cause us to despair. I feared the worse. Was he captured by the king's men? Was he attacked by robbers? Was he attacked by a wild beast? So many fears flooded my mind and drowned my soul in a sea of sorrow.
But he did just that. He left us without saying a word. I still can hardly believe it. I am trying to understand his reason, "To be about His Father's work."
He did not mean Joseph!
I understood. He meant His heavenly Father. The reason He was sent to earth. I remembered Simeon's words and yes it did feel like my heart was pierced by a sword.
He said those words, "His Father's work," in a plain manner yet there seemed to be a shadow in them, a shadow of dread that engulfed my heart that was aching already.
The future does not bring me peace so I will live in the present and trust the Lord who chose me to be Jesus' mother, unworthy though I am.
He is back with us. He is safe. Soon we will be home in Nazareth. I told Joseph I want to celebrate when we return home, to have a feast thanking the Lord that we are all safe together again. Joseph was a bit surprised at the extravagance I suggested. But I told him, my son is home safe and that is a reason for any mother to celebrate.

Barack Obama performs on late night TV
2012-04-25 14:32
Cape Town - Barack Obama made a surprise appearance on television on Tuesday when he performed on the "Slow Jam the News" segment of the
Late Night With Jimmy Fallon
show, reports the
Huffington Post.
The United States president received a standing ovation when the host announced his presence on the show.
When he entered the stage he said: "I'm President Barack Obama, and I, too, want to slow jam the news."
Kim and Kanye
The president used the karaoke-like performance to speak out against rising student fees at university level.
"Now is not the time to make school more expensive for our young people."
"There's some in Congress who disagree. They say keeping the interest rate low isn't a way to help our students.
"They say we should be doing everything we can to pay down the national debt - well, as long as it doesn't include taxing billionaires," he said.
The Roots as well as Jimmy Fallon were on stage with the president. In their verse, the hip hop group also made a crack about new couple Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.

Rodent Control around your home or business
The rats in your home or in your business are only a small percentage of the total rodent population in your area. The more rats surrounding your property, the greater the risk of an infestation or re-infestation! You see rats are opportunistic creatures. All they do is explore their home area, looking for food, water and new or better shelters to hide in. When their original nesting site becomes overcrowded some will move out to other areas they have explored and set up a new colony.
Therefore, keeping the general population under control is a must if you want to keep rodent problems at bay.
Wheeler's rodent control service provides secured bait stations around your property that will thin out the surrounding rodents which relieves the pressure on your home. You can significantly reduce the risk of future infestations.
A rodent bait station service consists of placing bait stations on the exterior of your property. The placement and number of stations is optimized depending on the size of the population.
The bait stations are serviced bi-monthly were we refill these stations with fresh bait and ensure your protection is maximized. A thorough inspection is done with each visit to make sure no new rodent problem is brewing.
Signs of brewing rodent problems around your building
- Rodents will usually create paths between feeding and harborage areas. They will create pathways over these heavily traveled paths.
- You find rodent droppings on your concrete porches
- Rodents leave grease marks on objects along their runway
- You find dead rodents in your pool or spa
- Your pet leave dead rodents at your door step
- Dogs looking out a door or window and barking
- You see rodent in trees, on your fence, running down overhead phone or electrical lines
- You see rodents in the streets
- Receive 25% off your bait station installation if you schedule today!
Build a powerful defense against rodent problems by combining rodent proofing and a rodent baiting service and get a life time guarantee against any rodent control problems.

Crimes of the War on Terror
By Rebecca Gordon
"The cold was terrible but the screams were worse," Sara Mendez told the BBC. "The screams of those who were being tortured were the first thing you heard and they made you shiver. That's why there was a radio blasting day and night."
In the 1970s, Mendez was a young Uruguayan teacher with leftist leanings. In 1973, when the military seized power in her country (a few months before General Augusto Pinochet's more famous coup in Chile), Mendez fled to Argentina. She lived there in safety until that country suffered its own coup in 1976. That July, a joint Uruguayan-Argentine military commando group kidnapped her in Buenos Aires and deposited her at Automotores Orletti, a former auto repair shop that would become infamous as a torture site and paramilitary command center. There she was indeed tortured, and there, too, her torturers stole her 20-day-old baby, Simón, giving him to a policeman's family to raise.

Yes, I actually sit around deciding on a theme name! Fun fact: the last theme was called "Enlighten". Tryangles a lot less blue and hopefully easier on the eyes. The theme has been up for a week or so, but today I finally got around to fixing ze bugs. For those who stumble upon this post, let me know what you think.
I can't believe it's already mid-March. This month has been filled with late night coding and lots of "Orange Is The New Black" catch-up and "How I Met Your Mother" watching. I seriously am not looking forward to school again in the Spring. I do look forward to seeing friends again and weather that is well above the negatives. Most importantly, I am beyond excited for Osheaga this summer. Looking the most forward to seeing Outkast, Haim, and Lorde!
I don't feel like making this post too much of a retrospective, so I'm going to end it here and post some music I've been listening too in last few weeks. Yeah I know, I'm a shitty blogger. Das rite.

Game Of Thrones Producers Reveal Final Season Details And Major Guest Star
The massively popular HBO series Game Of Thrones is fast approaching its end. Perhaps quicker than many first anticipated.
Showrunners Dan Weiss and David Benioff opened up about Game of Thrones this past weekend at the popular South By Southwest (SXSW) festival. In their discussion, they dropped two bombshell announcements that rocked the series' fan base and pop music fans around the world.
The seventh season is fast approaching. This season will be eight episodes, instead of the standard and expected ten. Many fans were upset about this.
Imagine how upset they will be to discover that the eighth and final season will be only six total episodes in length.
That's right. There are only fourteen episodes of Game of Thrones left. Enjoy them while you can.
Benioff said:
We've had, from the beginning, a sense of… from the very first time we pitched this show to HBO, we wanted to tell one 70 hour movie – it's gonna turn out to be 73 hours, but still, it's stayed relatively the same in terms of the beginning, the middle and now we're coming to the end.
It would've been tough if we'd lost any of the core cast members along the way, so I'm very happy that we've kept everyone together and we get to finish it the way we wanted to.

BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan -- About 200 people, some throwing stones, broke into Kyrgyzstan's Supreme Court on Wednesday and evicted activists who had occupied the building for more than a month in a protest on behalf of five losing parliamentary candidates.
Police reported scuffles between the two groups, and a woman who was ejected from the building said two of her fellow activists received head injuries. The court building had broken windows and few bottles of flammable liquid littering its grounds.
Witnesses said the crowd moved to evict the activists because they had blocked court proceedings since their protest began April 22.

Thanks Hyd for bringing this delightful creature to my attention. He's so sweet.
Thanks Hyd for bringing this delightful creature to my attention. He's so sweet.
You're welcome sis!
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life...No man comes unto the father (God/Allah) except through me." IOW, Jesus has the monopoly on heaven or paradise. Jesus said, "You will die in your sin unless you believe I am He." Do you believe Jesus is who He say He is?
Jesus makes it very clear that those who go to paradise are those who believe He is the I am before Abraham. Jesus said, "Before Abraham was I am" Let me interpret this for you. Those who reject Jesus as the I am He claims to be, they all will never go to paradise! IOW, they are facing a Christless and Godless eternity, and it is to their own peril they do this.
Don't tell me that all prophets were the way, the truth, and life for their time, because Jesus didn't say I show the way, the truth, and the life for now; He said, "I am!!!" There is a huge difference between being and showing. I can show you the way, the truth and the life. He is Jesus and only Him.
This message is a burning light shinning in a dark room.

Jesus is not valued (at all) unless he is valued above all. Augustine
Not nearly enough time has passed for you to pretend as if we did not have this discussion already... We don't have to tell you that all the prophets were the way, truth and life for their time. Jesus already did in the verses you conveniently skipped over.
"Allah is the point. If it is other-than-Allah, then it is besides the point." - Nuh Ha Mim Keller
Time and money spent following Jesus is not a waste of time or money, but following anyone else I can't speak for. If paradise sounds boring to you, why would you want verification of its occupancy or to go there for that matter? LOL. Are you inquiring for yourself or someone else?
If the Bible is not sufficient information for you, all I can tell then is the verification can only come by faith in God. Faith is the substance of what we hope for and the verification of what we do not yet see. Without faith, it is not possible to please God. We must believe that He is and that He rewards of those who diligently seek Him; otherwise, you are just and unbeliever or atheist. If that is the case, why would you want to be on a theists forum?
Jesus is not valued (at all) unless he is valued above all. Augustine
How can you proof the earth is billions of years old? You must use faith to believe it. You must use faith that a chair will hold you up when you sit on it. In the same way, faith is the substance of what we hope for and evidence of what is not seen. How can one proof that a chair will hold him up until he sits on it?
Don't you see? The heavens declare God's glory, and the firmament shows His handy work so that people are without excuse for not believing there is a divine designer behind His glorious creation. There are no purposes established without time and judgment. Some people believe because they see and touch like doubting Thomas, but blessed are those who believe and have not seen Jesus die and rise from the dead on the cross for our sin.
Islam thinks its knows how you can get to paradise, but Christianity knows how you can get there through Jesus

DharmaDoc automates most of the tedious work involved in setting up a local Web server that contains a Buddhist reference library. The program allows you to download and install documents, and generates a search engine index. Afterward, you can just type your Buddhist topic of interest into a Web browser and get a wealth of information.
DoCASU is a Rich Internet Application (RIA) for the Alfresco Enterprise Content Management platform. With DoCASU, Alfresco users have a simplified and easy to use solution solution to access, search, and manage documents. DoCASU is based on Alfresco Web Scripts and Ext JS, and showcases what can be done with state-of-the-art frontend components. It can easily be extended and adapted to meet specific needs.
DoXFS (pron. docs-eff-ess) is a document management system that uses the XFS filesystem to store both content (files) and meta-data (file attributes), bypassing the traditional architecture of filesystem and database, and leveraging the built-in advantages of XFS. Currently, it offers a Web frontend based on PHP and standard management functionality (create, delete, attributes add/delete, etc.) as well as extras such as versioning and Full Text Indexing (using Namazu).
DocBookWiki can display and edit DocBook documents online. It can display several documents at once (a list of books), and each of them can be in several languages. Editing can be done in several modes (like text/wiki, HTML, XML, etc.), but the basic format is always XML/DocBook. Each document can be automatically converted into other formats for downloading. The history of modifications is kept in SVN, and any previous versions of a document can be recovered.
DOCMGR is a document management system that incorporates automatic indexing of uploaded files, automatic OCR and content indexing of pictures, group-level permissions, LDAP authentication, email notifications, WebDAV, and a discussion board for stored files. Beyond its stock indexing subsystem, DocMGR also has the ability to incorporate Tsearch2 (a full-text indexing add-on for PostgreSQL) for a responsive, full-text file indexing system.
Docpile is a PHP-based document management system that allows multiple people to share documents and keep track of revisions. Users can upload and download documents, grant per-file, -user, or -folder access privileges, and send notification emails when documents are being updated. Administrators can create access groups, each responsible for a different set of folders and users.

Best care for everyone
The stellate ganglion is a small swelling towards the top of the chain of nerves called the sympathetic chain, that runs along the length of the spine. The stellate ganglion lies level with the lower part of your larynx ("voice box") to the side of the neck, just on the front of the 6th vertebra in your neck. The sympathetic nerves that pass through this ganglion carry the nerve impulses which control the diameter of blood vessels in the arm, head and face and sometimes activity in these nerves can be involved in certain types of nerve pain. Stellate ganglion block with local anaesthetic is sometimes used to try to relieve these pains, or as a diagnostic procedure.
You will be asked to attend the Day Surgery Unit for half a day (morning or afternoon) On the day you will be greeted by a nurse who will look after you until you go home. You may be asked to change into a gown and will be taken to one of the operating theatres for the procedure.
You will be asked to lie on your back on a special table that allows us to use an X Ray machine to guide the injections. The dose of XRays used is tiny: the machine intensifies a very small XRay dose in a similar way to army night vision goggles. X-ray pictures are taken throughout to ensure the needle is in the correct area. Alternatively, on occasions an ultrasound machine is used to guide the injection.
The skin overlying the ganglion is sterilised and a small amount of local anaesthetic is injected with a tiny needle to numb the skin. Following this a fine needle is placed down onto where the ganglion lies. Once correct position is confirmed a small amount of local anaesthetic and occasionally steroid is injected.
The steroid acts only around the area it is injected into and does not have the same effects as taking long-term steroids.
You do not need a general anaesthetic for this procedure. Very occasionally there can be some discomfort during the procedure but the doctor will ensure pain is kept to a minimum by using local anaesthetic. You can sometimes also get a sensation of pressure as the local anaesthetic goes in. Once the procedure is over you may have some tenderness over the injection site but no worse than after any other type of injection. Following the procedure you will often have a feeling of a stuffy nose and sometimes some flushing of the face and arm on the side of the injection, as well as temporary drooping of the eyelid and perhaps a husky voice. These changes are common and indeed many of them confirm that the injection is working well.
Although the procedure itself usually only takes 10-15 minutes you will be asked to stay for up to an hour or so after the injection in the Day Surgery Unit before going home.
You may move around freely at home unless you have been advised to the contrary by a member of staff. Indeed, the patients who do best after this procedure are normally those who make use of the pain relief from the procedure to increase the amount of activity and exercise they do. You do not need to do any specific back exercises unless you have been instructed to do so.

BELLEFONTAINE, Ohio (WDTN) – The mother accused of smothering her three young sons death appeared before a Logan Co. judge Monday afternoon.
24-year-old Brittany Pilkington's defense lawyers argued her taped, two-hour interrogation with Bellefontaine Police from last year should be thrown out and not heard by a jury.
In the tape, Pilkington allegedly confesses saying things like "I put a blanket over his head."
3-month-old Noah died Aug. 18, 2015, six days after a judge granted custody back to Brittany Pilkington.
The defense claimed Pilkington was coerced and shouldn't have been interrogated the same day her third son, Noah was found dead.
Police have also accused Pilkington of killing 3-month-old Niall Pilkington in July 2014 and 4-year-old Gavin Pilkington in April. All three boys were found dead within 13 months.
At the end of Monday's hearing a judge asked for a transcript of the two-hour interrogation. Court will resume Tuesday and is scheduled to last the rest of the week.
The judge is expected to decide if the taped interrogation will be heard by a jury, death penalty specifications and whether to hold three separate trials for each child.

WORCESTER, MA (WHDH) - A Worcester man was charged Friday with trying to kill his young nephew.
Police said Taj McDonald, 21, called 911 Thursday night and told them he killed his 3-year-old nephew. Police rushed to the scene at Lincoln Village on Country Club Boulevard, a public housing condo complex. There, officers said they found the 3-year-old boy with trauma to his face and neck, but he was conscious and alert.
According to the police report, McDonald told police he forcibly strangled the boy, tried drowning him in the bathtub and then forcibly pushed him down the stairs.
"I heard a little kid just crying and screaming and crying but I didn't think anything of it," said a worker who was painting on the property. "I thought it was a little kid crying."
The boy was taken to the hospital, where he remains in stable condition. He is expected to be OK.
In a statement, DCF said, "The Department of Children and Families has received a report and is investigating. We are also collaborating with law enforcement in its investigation."
McDonald faces multiple charges, including child endangerment and attempted murder. A court psychologist suggested McDonald undergo a psychiatric evaluation.
