It creates a piercing spear of thorns that go through walls and have the potential to strike multiple hits upon enemies. It can be very useful to defeat the Eater of Worlds and other large enemies such as the Bone Serpent and Eye of Cthulhu, but it's generally more effective to use a Flail such as the Ball O' Hurt to defeat these enemies, especially if they have a high defense.
When hit with the Vilethorn, a caster enemy will become stunned and will not attack during the duration of the spell. This may come in handy when fighting for Hellstone gathering.
Due to its ability to ignore terrain and stun casters, this is a lethal weapon against Goblin Sorcerers, Fire Imps, Dark Casters, and Tim.
- Since the weapon can be useful for attacking through walls, you can attack Zombies and other enemies from the safety of your home during Blood Moons or ordinary nights.
- Another strategy of the Vilethorn is to make a small barrier around you and then attacking your enemies while inside. This is not recommended if you are far underground, for there may be worms.
- This weapon is very weak against high-leveled creatures such as bosses. However, it can do considerable damage to the Eater Of Worlds.
- The Vilethorn can hit an enemy five, six or seven times, causing 40-56 damage. Note that the defense of the monster decreases the damage of each hit. This way, an enemy with 10 defense points reduces the total damage down to 15-21
It will not extend, instead it can be used to devastating effect defensively or against large enemies, since it allows for a sort of trap, about the width of the player (many can be active, at one time) to remain in effect for 30-40 seconds, that can add up to very impressive damage amounts (Eater dead in 7 seconds, Eye dead in 15, Skeletron dead in 41 seconds, Wall dead in less than a minute, Dungeon Guardian dead in 1 minute 33 seconds).
Update Info
- Range doubled.
- Added to the game.

Supta Virasana is easily one of the most avoided asanas in western yoga today. Even though B.K.S. Iyengar touts it as incredibly healing for the knees and a curative for flat feet, many find it painful. It is considered an intermediate level asana in fully reclined position, a more intense variation of its milder yet also often avoided foundation pose, Virasana. Virasana is hero pose, a pose meant to emulate courageousness and valor. It elongates and aligns our spine and creates space in our torso, which make it an excellent posture for pranayama and meditation. When we lie back in Supta Virasana, we fully expose and expand our front body. In this way, we "reset" our habitual forward rounding, allowing our courage to lead us into the very exposed space of full openness. In addition to being physically challenging, the emotions that surface as a result of opening our front body in this way can be intense.

Even when we have a strong desire to open our hearts to the world and deepen the connection to our inner Self, years of moving through the world with restriction can create challenge to deep opening physically and emotionally. So we start slowly in approaching this asana by first addressing our ability to open our lower body and become grounded. To begin the practice of Supta Virasana, you must first gain sustained ease in Virasana, which Iyengar says "takes a long time and requires daily practice of the pose for a few minutes for several months." Once ease in Virasana is gained, then you can begin to recline in the pose, opening the entire front body. In the fullest expression of the pose, the tops of the feet, knees, buttocks, shoulders, back of the head and the arms are all in easeful contact with the floor.
Supta virasana is considered an intermediate supine hip opener. For people with chronically tight deep hip extensors (gluteus maximus and hamstrings), this pose can be especially challenging, but also very helpful when practiced mindfully. In this asana, the legs are in powerful internal rotation with the ankles in extreme plantar flexion. The knees are at there most extreme point of flexion, an experience which can be supported by activating down into the tops of the feet. The shoulders are in abduction. For those who suffer from SI instability, this pose can be an effective way to realign the joints, but when practiced without awareness, it can also result in hyperextension of the lumbar spine. It is important to maintain a strong and supportive core to sustain safety in the lumbar spine as well as the knees and ankles, but to find a balance between the work and the ability to surrender into the experience of the pose.
Because of the extreme front body opening, Supta Virasana can also call up emotions and sensations that have been pushed away or "locked down" by the rounding of the upper back and protective tension in the shoulders. By allowing the body to let go into all of the sensations that arise, you cultivate a willingness to be present with your Self on all levels. If the physical or emotional experiences that you encounter are too intense, you can begin the practice of this pose by supporting the sitting bones and base of the spine on a block or blanket and recline onto the support of a firm bolster.
Approach Supta Virasana with an openness to what arises and with compassion and sensitivity, and you will begin to counter your daily onslaught of stress and strain with an experience of expansion and release. In doing so, you will simultaneously create more space for your breath to support you, more length on your spine, and slowly but surely an open heart.

As I walked out the door this morning to take Stella to gymnastics, I grabbed two cookbooks. (I use the term gymnastics very loosely. It's more like playing on gymnastics equipment, mats, and a very long trampoline. She loves it.) It's nice to have something to do, like browsing through cookbooks, while Stella is hanging upside down from a bar, doing somersaults down wedge mats or bouncing up and down on a trampoline. I also brought with me a few small pieces of cardstock to write down some of the recipes I would like to try and any ingredients that I may not have a home. As I was browsing the pages of The Sprouted Kitchen, the women next to me asked me what cookbook I was reading. I happily showed her the cover and shared my excitement for some of the recipes that I have already tried. She seemed interested and wrote down the name of the cookbook and blog on a piece of paper and stuck it in her purse. (Hopefully her purse isn't anything like mine which often resembles a deep abyss filled with receipts, grocery lists, change and half pieces of Extra gum that taste like pennies. If it is, she may never find that piece of paper again.) On the top of my "to make" list, were these cookies. I had all the ingredients at home and with words like dark chocolate and flaked sea salt, not much convincing was needed.
Chocolate-Drizzled Oatmeal
From The
Sprouted Kitchen: A Tastier Take on Whole Foods
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room
1/2 cup turbinado sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 egg
3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose
or rice flour
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 1/2 ounces dark chocolate,
Flaked sea salt, such as Maldon,
for garnish (optional)
In a food processor, pulse the
oats to create coarse flour. You want a bit of texture to remain, not
pureed until it is completely smooth. Set aside.
In the food processor or using a
bowl and wooden spoon, cream the butter and sugar together. Add the
vanilla and egg and mix again. Add the oat flour, all-purpose flour,
salt, and nutmeg and pulse a few times to combine, scraping down the sides of
the food processor or your bowl as necessary. The dough will be fairly
Using your hands, roll the dough
into a uniform log about 3 inches in diameter. If you like, sprinkle a
handful of rolled oats and a few tablespoons of turbinado sugar on your work
surface and roll the log in the mixture to create a crust. Roll the log
up in plastic wrap or parchment paper and chill in the fridge for at least 1
hour, and preferably two.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Working quickly, slice the log
into 1/2-inch coins and spread them on the baking sheet 2 inches apart.
Bake until the edges just begin to brown, 14 to 16 minutes. Transfer the
cookies to a wire rack.
Melt the chocolate in a
heatproof glass bowl over a pot of simmering water, being careful not to let
the bottom of the bowl touch the water. Arrange the piece of parchment
you used for cooking the cookies under the wire rack for easy cleanup.
Drizzle the melted chocolate on the tops of the cookies in a zig-zag
motion. Sprinkle a bit of flaked salt on the top of each cookie.
The chocolate will firm up in about 15 to 20 minutes. Store the cookies in an
airtight container for up to a week.

(A Peter Wendel Company)
ARE YOU A BUSINESS OWNER CONTEMPLATING A CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE DIRECTION who wants to make a successful transition into the next phase of your life?
But you are worried that you don't have a personal transition plan and don't have your company ready for the transition. You're stuck, "marching in place," holding on to what you have when you need to move on.
Hi, I'm Pete Wendel, owner of Life-Work-Transitions (formerly The Peter Wendel Group). Over twenty years ago I guided my engineering firm through two ownership transitions – my Dad to me and, later, me to my partners. I sold my ownership in the company and started Life-Work Transitions to help business owners build their businesses and develop and implement their personal transition programs.
Whatever your business, you know that a time will come to move on. One day you will exit – you want it to be on your terms. If you wait too long you'll go "past your prime;" your energy, drive, creativity (new ideas), willingness to take risks will diminish and your company will stagnate. Instead of harvesting your investment, you'll bleed your retirement nest egg/life earnings to keep the company going. The key is to develop a 'transition strategy' and begin to implement it while you're still 'on top.'
You need to act on two fronts. Personally, you want to choose a new life style.
And you want prepare your company for sale so that you can get your investment out. Wait too long and you'll discover that you don't have a saleable company. You won't have qualified prospective buyers can/will meet their expectations. You'll have to settle for 'pennies on the dollar.'
Whether an internal or external sale, the process begins with a personal clarity about your personal goals – the life you want to live after you move on. You need to 'Build a boat to step into before you walk off the dock.'
Maybe you expect to sell to family members, partners or key staff members but you don't have qualified, committed buyers who have the 'fire in their belly' who will take the risks and boldly step into your place with enough time to buy your interests so that you can sell on your timetable. Or you don't have a workable ownership transfer plan in place. Or you intend to sell to an external party but you lack a negotiation strategy or a 'profile' of potential buyers.
You want to follow your new life passion. Beginning with a clear vision of the next phase of your life you want to create, you can develop and execute a successful personal transition strategy. Maybe you'll start another business or maybe you'll build on a hobby or commit to a community program that you deeply care about. Or maybe you'll continue in your business but in a different, non ownership, role.
With a transition strategy that mirrors your personal aspirations you will have a clear vision of the next phase of your life you want to create. You will make an action plan to move you forward able to identify opportunities and overcome obstacles. You'll know where you are going, what it will be like and the resources you'll need to get there.
I can help you. I bring a broad range of experience in transition planning to work with you and your team of financial and legal advisors to help you map out your path forward. I had clear goals when I sold my ownership in the engineering firm and started Life-Work Transitions. Since then, I have helped business leaders build strong sustainable organizations, discover what matters to them and start on a new life path. Having clarity and focus has enabled them to successfully move forward with confidence and enthusiasm.
Will you sell externally - to an outside party, or internally - to your partners, staff and family? This is an important early decision. To explore this, please go to External or Internal Sale.

Giving the Rays Some ZZ Top Lovin'
I could have rambled towards a posting of Kentucky Derby hopeful candidates that currently play for the Rays, but we already know that coming in one-two in that race might be the sprinter Carl Crawford and the long strides of B J Upton neck and neck at the wire. Honestly might come down to if CC has a forward neck bob at the moment he hit's the finish line. But it only seemed fitting that I take a few names and personalities off the Rays roster and give them a one-night only ZZ Top song. I can tell you that I-Tunes is going to love me today with this research.
Now this one might seem like a pretty self explanatory song choice for Rays fashion plate and G Q model in residence slugger Carlos Pena. But I actually have two Rays figures in this choice. The first is of course Pena who has been the fashion sensible member of the Rays since day one. But my other selection might fool a few people, but he is trying with what he's got, and for that I got to give Rays Television announcer Brian Anderson an Honorable Mention in this song choice.
Anderson might not have the fashion runway swagger of Carlos Pena, or even the handsome looks that make more than a few women faint, but Anderson is a budding fashion police poster child who seems to get better with every road trip. Maybe Pena is secretly taking Anderson out on road trips and getting him a new tie or stylish sports coat or tie to go with his daily ensemble on the Rays broadcasts. No matter what the true story is, we all know Pena is the true fashionista on the Rays roster, but Anderson might be raiding his closet if Pena is not careful…maybe.
Raysbaseball.com/ MLB.com Gimme All Your Lovin':
I do not see how this could be a surprise to anyone. Major League Baseball players get handed cellphone numbers and even room keys all the time for prospective romantic interludes, but most disregard them as "groupies" or even trouble waiting to happen. But the fact that is totally humorous is that these same women had Longo's digits in their cellphones, so they can not play as innocent either here as they might have had conversation with Longoria either before they met their current squeezes, or during their courtship.
Either way, it really has just up the ante and further advanced the mystic and allure of Longoria to women from coast-to-coast. So the next time your "significant other" gets a text message that she either smiles at or giggles like a schoolgirl, just ask her point blank is it from Longoria. It probably is not, but you never know, some guys might think it was an ultimate compliment if Longo was texting his girl….Not me, but there might be someone like that out there in the Rays Republic.
This actually might have been the easiest song to place with a Rays player basically because I seem to smile and chuckle every time I see him attempt an extra base or turn the corner for a try at a triple during a Rays contest. Carl Crawford has streamlined his glide around the base paths over the last several years to provide more energy and push to accelerate his speed within a few strides. But still when he rounds the First Base bag and he seems to be leaning at a 45 degree angle and chugging those arms back and forth, his legs always seems to come out in my photos as magical blurs or looking like time lapse photography.
So it was a perfect choice to include Crawford's name as the player associated with "Legs". And even if this song ultimately illustrates a love for the female form, I hope Crawford can take that I am using a bit of literary license here to portray this song towards his burst of speed and not the way his lower lips seems to drag like a English Bulldog when he is pumping towards an extra base. And I want to apologize in print if you read the lyrics to the second verse and think I am referring to Crawford with hair down to his fanny….I am not….Seriously ( My Grey's Anatomy voice)….Seriously!
Garza has always had that persona to me. The one where he seems to display and cool and clam demeanor under that bundle of emotions and inner frustration sometimes with himself on the mound. He usually can wear those cheap sunglasses as a outer shield to keep him from actually showing his highly charged confidence and emotions. But then again, Tom Cruise pulled it off with the same pair of cheap sunglasses in "Risky Business" and it turned him into a movie superstar. Maybe Garza can turn his cheap sunglasses into a Cy Young?
I am not sure why this next one seems to fit just by the title of the song, but I see Rays fifth starter Wade Davis as the perfect poster child for this song. Maybe it is that outer shell he has that eludes most strife and controversy as he seems to glide through his starts even against some of the opposing teams top pitchers. Davis has provided some interesting performances already in 2010, and has been totally in control and often times kind of in his own personal zone of tranquility while attempting to provide pitching brilliance so early in 2010.
And I am not trying to play on his nickname "W D-40" to provide some raw angle of southern gentleman meets ferocious beast, but the guy is from Lake Wales, Florida and is as calm as a cucumber and soft-spoken as they come. But then again, when things are clicking like they are right now for Davis, there is nothing to worry about anyways….really.
It might be the last time Crawford, Pena and even Dioner Navarro and possibly Jason Bartlett all hit the field at the same time to try and right a situation that seemed to melt them apart like the cold weather on that unusual October night. Maybe it is the mantra adopted by Maddon for 2010 that no longer uses mathematical situations, but asks the simple question: " WIN or What's Important Now". Maybe it is that urgency of completing the mission, of finally breathing a sigh of relief that will act as the whistle from this pressure cooker called the MLB season.
ZZ Top is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member. They got their start just like so many other musicians did struggling in the small bars and honky tonks in the Texas landscape. But their telling of the stories and the message in their lyrics, they got the rest of the country to not only experience a bit of Texas, but of their own personal cultures and rituals.
But hopefully in the next several months the Rays can duplicate the success and get the admiration of the rest of the Major League Baseball world to again see them for the hardworking and diligent team that they are….And maybe after it is all said and done, the Rays could actually shadow another ZZ Top song as a team.
For if the Rays hit that desired pinnacle they seek so dearly in 2010. If this Rays team can climb that last rung of the ladder and stand proudly at the top with a golden trophy in their mitts, then maybe they can all collectively sing "I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide" on the pitching mound as they shower each other with praise, champagne and memories just like ZZ Top has given all of us over their long career.
Got to go people. Got a small errand to do since I am getting Photo Credentials to shoot the ZZ Top Concert tonight. And yes, tomorrow will be a ZZ Top post Concert Photo blog. See you later Gator…

Love ZZ Top and "You Got Me Under Pressure." That song is the first one up on my iTunes playlist when I go for my power walk and try to rev my engines. It works every time! Hope the concert was a blast.
Look forward to seeing those photos! Gotta love ZZ Top…have fun!
Was hoping you had Legs video on here, but oh well love the original video that went with that song.. also one of my favorite ZZ songs…Have fun and enjoy…
Phillies Outside
Was talking to someone last night about ZZ Top, and they said they never really heard of them….I asked if they were born in this country.
Seems that they are as American as apple pie, baseball…..and maybe Chevrolet.
"Thank You" is also a great song, but there is a huge list of great ZZ Top songs from "Legs" to "Tush"….and they all are great in their own way.
Rays Renegade
Got to say, since I graduated from a college in Texas, the weight room regiment always had a segment of ZZ Top on someone's Cd collection that used to pump us up while lifting some heavy weights.
Texas born rockers like ZZ Top got special attention and was a must have on any Fraternity or social party music list too….Guess it is a Texas thing.
Rays Renegade
I honestly thought about it, but came to the conclusion that someone would find it a bit sexist that I popped "Legs" up there in stead of say "Sleeping Bag" or another ZZ Top video.
Took the safe route, but also I did grind a bit if heavy weights to this song in college, so it has a place deep, deep down in my long gone muscle memory.
Rays Renegade
Hey man, this is good stuff. I noticed there wasn't a pick for "Tush" ;) I look forward to reading more of your stuff! Thanks for stopping by my way, hope you keep coming back!
If I popped a player with every song I know by the group I might still be writing the post two days later.
But I decided to just throw a few out there in stead of throw some odd songs or not well known songs out there.
But it was fun to try and place a few of the Rays players, then the team within the words and Southern wisdom of the Texas trio.

Who is it that JP wants from the Phillies in exchange for Rios?
It's probably Brett Myers or Cole Hamels.
I don't believe the Jays will or should deal any of thier regulars for the time being.They have some very good signs in their pitching depth right now. Rios has only upside at this time and I think JP would have to be blown away with an offer to even consider trading Rios.Gibby has a very good rotation that can be as good or better than any in the AL.They just got to stay healthy.

For the last five weeks, we've traveled all around Eastern Connecticut and learned the names behind the fields and gyms at the high school and collegiate level.
For the last five weeks, we've traveled all around Eastern Connecticut and learned the names behind the fields and gyms at the high school and collegiate level.
Today's final installment takes us to the northeastern part of the state. Since we left off last week at Parish Hill High School in Chaplin, we'll hop onto Route 6 and head east before jumping on Route 12 and into Killingly.
Owen Bell Park
Owen Bell was the first Killingly town manager, a post he served from 1942-71. The park, located in Dayville along I-395, includes a baseball and softball field, track, tennis courts and playground.
Desaulnier Field
Ben Desaulnier was a standout basketball, golf and baseball player at Killingly High School. On the night of Oct. 29, 1993, the 17-year-old was killed in a car accident, and less than two months later the baseball field was dedicated in his honor. Sports Editor Marc Allard wrote about Ben's nephew, also named Ben Desaulnier, playing on the field this year as a freshman at Killingly.
Fortin Field
Germain "Foxy" Fortin's name adorns the softball field. He participated in the Killingly, Putnam and Wauregan softball leagues, and also coached basketball and baseball at St. James School in Danielson. He also was an active member of the Killingly Little League. He died in 1985 at the age of 59 after suffering a heart attack at Owen Bell Park.
* * *
I prefer the back roads to the highway any day — especially in this part of the state — so we'll double back and hop onto Route 169. This is one of my favorite jaunts in the state, especially in the fall, because of the historic homes and farms that are found everywhere. It's also a perfect drive to check out the remaining high schools.
Our first stop is at the Pomfret School, which I believe to have the finest architecture for a school in Eastern Connecticut, along with Norwich Free Academy.
Blodgett Boathouse
Located on nearby Quassett Lake, the boathouse was built thanks to a leadership gift from Pomfret trustee and alumnus Mark Blodgett. Pomfret's crew program, dating from 1899, is almost as old as the school (1894).
Blodgett Tennis Center
Mark Blodgett, who graduated in 1975, provided the leadership gift for this facility, and it was dedicated in honor of his father, Lawrence.
Corzine Athletic Center
This facility, which houses eight squash courts, a fitness center, wrestling room, athletic offices and a trophy room, was established with leadership gifts from former New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine and Joanne Corzine.
Jahn Rink
Originally known as the Brown Rink in honor of former athletic director Charles Brown, the rink underwent a renovation and was renamed the Jahn Rink in 2005. Architect and past parent Helmut Jahn and his wife, Deborah, donated a gift to the school. The Woodruff Lobby is named for Doug Woodruff, a 1977 graduate who was team captain and died in 1999 after a battle with cancer.
Lewis Gymnasium
The gym, built in 1912 and renovated in 1964-65, was named for Mr. and Mrs. Frederic E. Lewis, a scion of a banking and railroading dynasty who was a parent and trustee. Lewis' grandfather, Moses Taylor, was the first president of the New York City Bank and a principle stockholder of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad.
Mallory Field
The baseball and softball fields are located here. Mallory was class president in 1920 and a captain of the hockey team at Pomfret. Later, he was an All-American fullback who captained Yale's undefeated 1923 football team and was named by his classmates, "The Man Who Did Most for Yale." He was a major in the U.S. Army Air Force during World War II, but died in a plane crash in 1944. The fields were dedicated in his honor in 1962.
* * *
Upon leaving the Pomfret School, we'll take a side trip along Route 44 into Putnam.
St. Marie-Greenhalgh Field
The football and soccer field is named for George St. Marie, the former Putnam High School athletic director and track coach, and Jim Greenhalgh, a longtime football, baseball and basketball coach with the Clippers. The athletic complex was dedicated in 1999.
Murphy Park
Frances Murphy Recreation Park, named for the former mayor of Putnam, holds the baseball fields.
Tarr Park
The softball fields are located here, and are named for Owen Tarr, a former recreation board member whose donations help create this park.
* * *
We'll take a short trip on I-395 to get to Tourtellotte High School in Thompson.
Beausoleil Field
The softball field is named for Michelle Beausoleil, who was a catcher for Tourtellotte in the early 1990s. Nineteen years ago, Beausoleil was killed in an auto accident the summer before her senior year. The field was named in her honor soon after, and last April a new sign was placed in front of the field.
Canty Gymnasium
The basketball court is named after Jim Canty, a longtime coach and player. A 1929 Tourtellotte graduate, he coached basketball and baseball at Tourtellotte from 1941-71. On the court, he went 508-149 and brought the Tigers to the CIAC tournament 24 times in 30 years, winning it five times (1941, '44, 1949-51).
* * *
Leaving Tourtellotte, we'll head up Route 131 almost to the Massachusetts border before meeting Route 197, which eventually brings us back to Route 169 and Woodstock Academy.
Bentley Complex
Charles W. Bentley Sr. was a long-time member and past president of the Woodstock Academy Board of Trustees. The entire athletic fields are found here.
Weimann Field
The softball field is named for Arthur and Evelyn Weimann, for their dedication to the athletics program. According to the Academy's Development and Alumni Relations director, Kristen Willis, the Weimanns attended as many basketball and softball games as they could.
CNB Field
The soccer field was named in recognition of a generous endowment gift by Citizen's National Bank, during the Bicentennial Endowment Campaign from 2001-05.
* * *
Heading south on Route 169, we come to our final destination, the Hyde School.
Grant Track
Ken Grant was the founding Headmaster at Hyde-Woodstock. Ken, along with his wife, Claire, are lifelong Hyde employees-administrators and currently work on the Bath-Maine campus.
Krebs Family Gymnasium
Rob Krebs is an alumni parent and also served as the Chair of the Hyde School Board of Governors.
* * *
I hope you enjoyed our five-week excursion through Eastern Connecticut. It is important that we do not forget the names behind the fields and gyms, because each person honored gave much of his or her life to the school, community and athletes.
I welcome your comments about this series to my email.

Meclizine is the generic name for the prescription drug called Antivert and the over-the-counter (OTC) medicines known as Dramamine and Bonine. Meclizine is used to treat motion sickness and dizziness.
The drug belongs to a class of drugs called antihistamines, which are generally used to treat allergies. However, meclizine works a little differently, reducing nausea and muscle spasms.
Meclizine was originally approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1957 under the brand name Antivert, manufactured by Citron Pharmaceuticals.
Because meclizine causes drowsiness, there may be potential for abuse.
Dramamine comes in two versions with different active ingredients. There is more concern about abuse of the original version of Dramamine, because it contains the antihistamine dimenhydrinate, which can cause euphoria and hallucinations at high doses.
The other Dramamine contains meclizine and is referred to as the "less drowsy" version.
Meclizine can create or worsen problems for some people. You should talk to your doctor before taking meclizine if:
Before taking meclizine, you should talk to your doctor if you have any of the following conditions:
You should not take meclizine if you are taking any of the following:
Meclizine falls under the FDA's Pregnancy Category B, which means it has not been shown to harm a fetus.
Regardless, you should tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant before taking this medication.
You should also alert your physician if you are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It's recommended that breastfeeding mothers not take this medication.
If you experience any of these more common side effects and they do not get better, or they become severe, tell your doctor or seek emergency medical attention:
Tell your doctor right away or get emergency medical help if you experience any of the following symptoms:
You should get medical attention if any of the following occur as well:
It is always important to tell your doctor and pharmacist about all of your treatments, including over-the-counter (OTC) medications; vitamins, nutritional shakes, protein powders, and other supplements; herbal treatments or other alternative medicines; and any illegal or recreational drugs.
The following drugs are known to interact with meclizine:
You should talk your doctor if you are taking allergy medications or any drugs for anxiety, mood, or depression, when taking meclizine, so you will know about special drug-interaction symptoms you need to monitor. These include:
Drinking alcohol while taking meclizine may worsen the side effects of the drug.
Grapefruit juice is not likely to affect how meclizine works. Both the drug and grapefruit juice are broken down by the liver, but the process for each is different.
In general, you should be careful taking meclizine if you are already taking medications that cause drowsiness, dry mouth, difficulty using the bathroom, or appear to slow the nervous system, because adding meclizine to your medications can make all of these symptoms worse.
Meclizine is available in 12.5 milligram (mg), 25 mg, and 50 mg tablets. Some meclizine tablets are available in chewable form.
If you suspect an overdose, you should contact a poison-control center or emergency room immediately. You can reach a poison-control center at (800) 222-1222.
If you miss a dose of Meclizine, try to take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the regular time. Do not take two doses of the medication at the same time.

Our endurance for the endless awards season officially cracked Sunday when Lady Gaga arrived at the Grammys in a giant egg.
We're choosing to see her onstage hatching as another sign of a popular culture where award shows have gone beyond a meaningless validation (or invalidation) of what we like to mutating into outsized spectacles and even calls to action. (Case in point: the teenybopper virtual egging of the prodigiously talented Esperanza Spalding after she beat pop idol Justin Bieber for the Best New Artist Grammy.)
We're also to the point where the competition itself isn't entertainment enough, no mater what the venue. In baseball stadiums, we're treated to inane between-innings races between wannabe mascots dressed in lame hot dog, relish and mustard costumes. At the Grammys, Gaga's visual egg-stravaganza spurred as much chatter as whether her "Born This Way" is an homage to Madonna's "Express Yourself" or something less respectful. And long after the big game, there's arguably more post-Super Sunday buzz about the $100,000-per-second commercials than Green Bay's victory.
The awards-show slog really is all just one big commercial with more ads – and the commercial-laden Super Bowl – in-between.
Which got us thinking: With the Academy Awards, the biggest ad of them all, capping the winter edition of the silly season on Feb. 27, why not take a page from the Gaga playbook and do a mash-up?
Our modest proposal: spicing up the Oscars with awards for Super Bowl commercials.
Imagine some of the categories and winners: The "Toy Story 3" Sugar Coma Award (to Volkswagen for the sweet "Darth Vader" spot). The "Social Network" Distrust of Internet Companies Award (to Go Daddy for putting Joan Rivers' face on a model's body). The "King's Speech" Get-to-the-Bloody-Point-Already Award (to Groupon for its since-pulled "Save the Money" stealth charity ads).
If all that seems silly, it's not much more so than endlessly making entertainment out of entertainers endlessly celebrating themselves – or turning commercials shown during a sporting event into a sporting event itself.
The only thing they don't have are trophies for those of us masochistic marathoners who sit through it all. Now there's an idea for an awards show…

A Journey Through the Changing Human Body
From birth to death, a lyrical exploration of the role of transformation in human life
To be alive is to be in perpetual metamorphosis: growing, healing, learning, aging. In Shapeshifters, physician and writer Gavin Francis considers the inevitable changes all of our bodies undergo–such as birth, puberty, and death, but also laughter, sleeping, and healing-and those that only some of our bodies will: like getting a tattoo, experiencing psychosis, suffering anorexia, being pregnant, or undergoing a gender transition. In Francis's hands, each event becomes an opportunity to explore the meaning of identity and the natures-biological, psychological, and philosophical-of our selves. True to its own subject, Shapeshifters combines Francis's lyrical imagination and deep knowledge of medicine and the humanities for a life-altering read.
Reader Reviews
"In this provocative and important book about our shared future, Francis ranges broadly to describe altered human states and selves. He delves into medical history, and, with equal ease, into medical case studies, to reveal how humans are capable of changing our bodies and minds. Steeped as much in history as in the future, we might describe this book as an audacious attempt to write a manifesto for a trans-human future (read it to understand what that phrase might mean)."—Siddartha Mukherjee, author of The Emperor of All Maladies and The Gene
"This stylish and exhilarating collection of essays comes from a wide-ranging mind and a profound humanity. With warmth and wit, Gavin Francis examines the body's strategies for survival and change, embedding his thoughts in a broad frame of reference from across human culture and history. Each piece is a pleasure to read, and in sum they are inspiring."—Hilary Mantel, Man Booker Prize-winning author of Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies
"Ambitious... [Francis] is well schooled in the literature of medical curiosities, from Galen to Sir Thomas Browne and beyond. But Shapeshifters is at its best, and strangest, when dealing with mundane translations: puberty, pregnancy, menopause, the not so simple facts of our being sexed beings. Francis has an engaging way with medical-cultural history... Such is the breadth of [his] interests that Shapeshifters is never less than intellectually energetic."—Guardian (UK)
"A thought-provoking read."—Book Riot
"Francis elegantly weaves detailed descriptions of physiological processes together with memories, anecdotes, and tales from history to produce a rich narrative that is informative and surprising... a pleasure to read."—The Lancet
"A thoughtful exploration.... Francis's wide-ranging experience and curiosity produce fascinating samples of medical and cultural approaches to human change."—Publishers Weekly
"Gavin Francis makes being a doctor sound like the best job in the world.... The 24 essays in this collection...all circle the theme of metamorphosis, and shed light on the biases of modern medicine even while celebrating its achievements."—Village Voice
"What makes the book fun to read is not only the author's limpid anecdotes from his private practice, but also his abiding marvel at the body's endless expressions. Francis ranges freely and skillfully from the strange to the elemental... [he] always makes you think. Captivating medical narratives that fit well alongside those of Oliver Sachs, Atul Gawande, Jerome Groopman, and Berton Roueché."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"[A] timely, thought-provoking and eloquent book... Francis is the opposite of the arrogant doctor-god. Indeed with this book, brimming both with warmth and insight, he puts himself among the ranks of physicians with fine pens, including Oliver Sacks and Atul Gawande, who, for all their learning, retain a deep humility."—The Times (UK)
"Reading these essays is like touring a museum of medical marvels led by the best guide; one with boundless curiosity, a taste for the weird and a deep well of thoughtfulness and knowledge. Shapeshifters is about bodily change, from normal transitions such as conception, menopause and sleep, to anomalies and disorders -- amputation, anorexia, people who have grown horns. What gives this book heart are Gavin Francis's moving encounters, as a working GP, with people whose bodies have undergone strange transformations."—The Times of London (UK)
"The heart of the book is about the key life transitions: conception, birth, puberty, pregnancy, menopause, death--and sleep. Francis's method is to weave together stories from his general practice, his medical training and his travels, with a host of quotes, references and anecdotes from art, literature and history. The result is a rich pleasure."—Sunday Times (UK)
"[An] enthralling collection of illustrated pieces about human transformation.... Dr. Francis will leave you marveling at the physical self you carry around with you every day."—Daily Express (UK)
"This is a fascinating account, full of detail that one would otherwise not know, and full of openness in terms of the difficulties, triumph, disasters and glories of a career in medicine."—Scotsman (UK)
"The insight [Francis] offers into the physician's realm is profoundly affecting.... Shapeshifters provides a fascinating account of humankind's efforts down the millennia to understand our minds and bodies in order to prolong life and wellbeing...beautifully written as well as extremely absorbing."—Herald Scotland (UK)
"Wonderful, written with a deep feeling for language. A writer-physician who sees the drama and beauty in human life."—Annie Dillard, author of An American Childhood and Pilgrim at Tinker Creek
"A wonderful series of meditations--clinical, anthropological, literary and deeply humane--on his patients and their illnesses."—Henry Marsh, author of Do No Harm

Customs Boss Defends Internet Censorship; Says More Is On The Way
from the same-rules,-minus-the-first-amendment deptOver at the State of the Net conference in Washington DC today, John Morton, the head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at Homeland Security felt it was time to defend ICE's seizure of domain names. Of course, he did not actually address the many different problems with the details of how they seized the domains. Instead, he just insisted that ICE had no "intention" of limiting free speech. That they did so in clear violation of the law... well... just skip over that part.
He also claimed that "the same rules must apply" both online and off -- which is entirely true. So I'm curious why he thinks the First Amendment and all of the case law concerning prior restraint or shutting down legitimate speech don't apply online. Not surprisingly, he ignores all of that as well.
He also stated:
"We can't live in a society where the Internet has some protection for criminals. ... We are going to stay at it. I am not apologetic on this last point."Here he's just being disingenuous. The law does not protect criminals. There are existing laws that allow the government or private parties to file a lawsuit against anyone accused of breaking the law, and allowing (as per our normal due process system) an adversarial hearing to be had in court so that both sides get their say. What Morton and his team did ignores all of that. It ignored due process. It seized sites that had substantial non-infringing content, it used serious technical and legal errors to get a judge to rubber stamp seizures of domain names that were widely used by the music industry to promote their own works. And he addresses none of that.
Finally, he claims that the domain seizures were really effective because a bunch of other websites shut down in the wake of the seizures. This is kind of funny because of how naive it makes Morton and ICE appear. Yes, some websites that knew they would be equally easy for Homeland Security to seize without due process or respect for the First Amdenment switched to other URLs outside of US control, but it's pretty naive to think that those operating the sites simply stopped doing so.
No one has yet come up with a reasonable explanation why suing these sites first was not possible. Why did they need to be seized? The only explanation given so far was that some third party might get ahold of them and use them for nefarious purposes, but we already explained how that makes no sense. A judge could easily have issued an injunction barring the sale of the domain names while a lawsuit was ongoing. It's troubling that the best John Morton can do is to simply make stuff up to support a campaign of censorship on behalf of the entertainment industry (who was such a close partner that the initial part of this campaign was announced from Disney's headquarters). We should be quite concerned when law enforcement officials are taking orders from companies, and the best defense they can come up with to support these actions is to lie and pretend that there were no other legal means that do not violate free speech or due process.

Beware Graphic Content Ahead!
This graphic image or word cloud was created using Wordle. It is derived from the subjects and authors of postings in PubLib for May 2011. The size of the graphics is directly related to the number of un-weighted unique occurrences each month of the individual words represented. Most automated graphic processes that generate these types of word clouds use additional weight for H1 – H6 tags through feeds. These graphics are not processed with H1 – H6 tags. The titles and authors were copied to Notepad and stripped of all HTML before being run through the Wordle Java platform. The process is case-sensitive so Library is not the same thing as library.
The most prominent word without employing filters would have been Publib. Publib and Fwd were deleted from the plaintext files before processing. In addition, the Wordle program automatically disregards articles, conjunctions, and prepositions.

Parole officers should have done a better job watching a paroled California sex offender, but closer scrutiny may not have stopped the murder of one teenage girl and the assault of another woman, a draft report released Thursday said.
Even if 30-year-old suspect John Albert Gardner III had been sent back to prison for a parole violation, he would not have qualified as a sexually violent predator, according to the report to the California Sex Offender Management Board.
That contradicts statements from mental health officials who said Gardner would have been strongly considered for commitment to a mental health hospital.
Gardner has pleaded not guilty to murdering 17-year-old Chelsea King of Poway, whose body was found in a park last month, and to the attempted rape of another woman in December.
He is being investigated but has not been charged in the death of 14-year-old Amber Dubois of Escondido, who disappeared in February 2009.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger asked the 18-member board of law enforcement officials, victims and treatment providers to investigate why Gardner was classified as low-risk and not punished for repeated parole violations.
The board began discussing the report Thursday. Its final report to the governor is due by the end of the month.
The draft report said parole agents failed to review whether Gardner should have been reclassified as a high-risk offender after he was found living too close to a daycare center while on parole.
They also should have immediately required him to move away from a daycare center, the report said.
His location could have been enough to send Gardner back to prison, but the parole board decided to keep him on parole for the remainder of his three-year term, which ended in 2008.
"However, it is unlikely that a revocation would have changed anything with respect to the crimes that Gardner is now charged with committing," the report said.
The report was prepared by Deputy Attorney General Janet Neeley and Robert Ambroselli, director of the state Division of Adult Parole Operations, which supervised Gardner for three years after his release from prison in 2005. Gardner spent five years in prison for molesting a 13-year-old neighbor girl in 2000.
"While the functioning of the current sex offender supervision is certainly critical to the review of this case, it cannot be forgotten that the offenses occurred later, when Gardner was under no formal supervision," the report said.
Gardner had seven violations while on parole, but the others were considered technical, including four for letting the battery on his ankle bracelet run low and one for missing a meeting with his parole officer.
Several other violations have since surfaced, including his use of a social networking Web site.

Helen McCrory Back as Narcissa for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Apr 17, 2009
There is a small new mention today of actress Helen McCrory who will be seen as Narcissa Malfoy, mother of Draco, wife of Lucius and sister to Bellatrix Lestrange in the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. In the know columnist Baz Bamigboye for the Daily Mail reports that Helen and the other Helen, Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix) had some fun while filming for HBP, noting " the pair enjoyed scaring fellow cast members and giving the crew a double fright." The brief article also states that indeed that acclaimed stage actress McCrory will return in her role as Narcissa for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Readers will recall of course, the dramatic and pivotal decision Narcissa makes at the end of the book. Quotage from The Daily Mail: "Ms McCrory will also feature in Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows,
which is shooting until next year – although she will find time this
summer to portray Cherie Blair opposite (as this column revealed)
Michael Sheen as one T. Blair, plus Dennis Quaid and Julianne Moore as
Bill and Hillary Clinton, in Peter Morgan's The Special Relationship."

It was unusually early for an official league meet in track and field, and any third party trying to scout host Springside and visiting Penn Charter couldn't have handed in a complete report. Wisely, both coaches treated the event more as a scrimmage, resting certain performers by holding them out of some of their best events, and experimenting with other athletes.
This didn't alter the anticipated outcome, as defending Girls Inter-Ac champion Penn Charter, with 28 girls on the roster, logged an 81-46 victory over the Springside Lions, who had exactly half that number of athletes on hand.
"It was probably the first track meet anywhere in Pennsylvania," observed Springside coach Bob Shoudt. "It was good for the girls to get out and have an actual meet to sort of see where they are. I thought the efforts were there, and improvement will come."
University of Pittsburgh signee Taylor Ellis-Watson was coming off of an appearance at the New Balance Indoor Nationals the previous weekend, where she finished fifth overall with a time of 55.26 seconds. Shoudt held her out of the 400 last Thursday and entered her in some shorter sprints.
"Taylor had a good day, and so did Natalie Bates," said the Lions skipper, speaking of a second senior standout who has committed to run at Lehigh University. "Natalie did a good job in the high jump, the long jump, and the 300 hurdles, which are events she's never been in, at least not in high school.
"There were some pleasant surprises," Shoudt went on. "Riley Tarver [another senior] ran very well in the sprints, and she threw herself into the mix as we put together our 4 x 100 team for the Penn Relays."
Springside's Ellis-Watson had to deal with injuries during both her sophomore and junior seasons, and Penn Charter's Catie Skinner is just easing back into action after being diagnosed with a stress fracture at the end of cross country season last fall.
The PC sophomore won both the Girls Inter-Ac Championships and the PA Independent Schools meet, and Quakers coach Liz Fleming said, "Catie and Elise Wilkinson will obviously be the anchors of our distance program, but we also have some depth coming up behind them with Ani Schug and Rachel Morris, and we also have a senior hockey player, Anne Entwisle, who's out for the team."
Wilkinson, also a senior, has been a strong middle-distance performer throughout high school, and Schug, a sophomore cross country runner, won the 3200 meters at Thursday's meet.
Fleming admitted that the Quakers are not as well-furnished in the sprinting department.
"We've graduated two strong classes of sprinters in a row," she noted, "and we're developing girls like Lauren Dimes, who's a freshman, and [junior] Marisa Shepard, who is also a pole vaulter."
Off the track, Fleming is happy to have Penn-bound senior Colleen Fehm, a sort of Swiss Army knife for Charter in the field events.
"Colleen is looking great," the PC mentor said. "Today she went two feet longer than her previous best in the long jump, and she's gone eight feet in the pole vault and 35 feet in the triple jump. She can go at least 5'2" in the high jump, and [senior] Amma Ntoso should be right there with her getting points in the long and the triple. Amma will also be a strong hurdler for us."
Both teams are looking for some points to come out of the shot put; Springside from juniors Jamie McGinn and Ashlee Hale, and Penn Charter from senior Heather Jones, junior Saagarika Thanvi, and sophomore Ashley Brown.
Strolling away from the track and enjoying Thursday's decidedly spring-like weather, the Lions' Shoudt noted, "We have a few young girls who have never been in a varsity meet before, so it was a beautiful day for them to get out and see what it's like."

It is possible to keep your ram on "red" during the entire time, make sure you pass by each apple basket (for alliance it is easiest to just hit the one at the sign post and the one back in Kharanos, just past the barrels of that yummy booze).
Unlike daily quests, the repeatable version of this does not have a set reset time; once the ram disappears, it will become available again after 12–18 hours have passed.
There and Back Again is a book 'translated' by J.R.R. Tolkien as The Hobbit.
