Crime & Punishment
October 29, 2010
I'm fine! I'm fine! The EVERYTHING IS OKAY alarm is going off at full volume, I promise. Much like our neighbor's car alarm two nights ago, in the middle of the night, to which we responded by getting up, muttering a lot of curse words before slamming the window shut.
The next morning, we discovered that another neighbor's house had been broken into around that time, along with a good half-dozen cars in the area. Including ours. Although "broken into" makes it sound more dramatic than the reality, because our cars were unlocked. coughMORONScough. Nothing was taken from mine, though the glove compartment and center console had both been opened and tossed around, but they didn't even snag my phone charger or the stack of Emergency Tissues.
(Here's what a dork I am: When Jason told me about the break-in, I was like, OH MY GOD THE ERGO CARRIER WAS IN THE TRUNK DID THEY STEAL THE ERGO CARRIER?)
("Um. No. That wasn't really the kind of thing they were after, babe.")
("Well, shows how much THEY know, because that's a really expensive carrier and they could totally make like, $80 at a consignment store. I'D steal an Ergo carrier.")
("Just tell me you didn't leave your cell phone in the car last night, okay?")
Jason's handsfree phone thing was taken, but even this was no terrible loss because he hated it and wanted to get a new one, and he hated it because it was so ridiculously complicated and required five specific voice prompts to make a phone call that I do kind of get a kick out of the mental image of the thieves attempting to use it without the instructions and being like CALL PAWN SHOP MAIN. NO, NOT TEXT MESSAGE. PHONE COMMANDS. SYNC. HUH? WHO IS IT DIALING NOW? OH FUCK THIS PIECE OF SHIT.
So that happened. Also, I went to a farm as a preschool field trip chaperone yesterday. Guess which thing was worse.
Since Ezra was coming along for the ride, I dressed the boys in seasonal and easily-visible-in-a-crowd orange shirts, silently congratulating myself on being so smart and from learning so many things from my years and years of experience at maybe doing stuff like this a whole three times before.
Let's see. A field trip to a pumpkin patch. In October. Just a few days before Halloween. The whole farm was freaking lousy with orange shirts. LOUSY WITH THEM.
This was pretty much the way the whole day went. Viewed through the zoom lens, with the sounds of my shrieking after them to COME BACK HERE BEFORE A GOOSE EATS YOU.
Baby pigs.
Baby rabbits.
Baby chicken nuggets.
(Ezra's like, "SIX-PIECE, PLEASE.")
And an absolutely mind-blowing, life-completing encounter with a real-life SHEEP, like OMG BAA BAA BAA SHEEP SHEEP SHEEP!
An emu. They liked it. I distrusted it.
This is either a wallaby or a kangaroo. I wasn't paying attention. Either way, I just loved its expression of fuck y'all, I gots a TENT.
At some point Ezra got tired and insisted on being carried everywhere, and I suddenly realized how ill-equipped I am for the reality of THREE OF THESE PEOPLE.
Ugh. Hell in a petting-zoo pen, you guys. Noah got bit by a turkey, but he probably deserved it. Much like that turkey will deserve all that delicious, delicious gravy next month.
Trying to catch a decent natural-looking photo before he instinctively does that exaggerated CHEESE thing he does all the time now and...
Sigh. Never mind.
PS. New post up at The Stir. Plus lots of great stuff at Mamapop today and while no, I didn't technically write any of that particular great stuff it will have to do until I can formulate a proper sentence about last night's Project Runway finale that doesn't disintegrate into HORRIBLE SEETHING EARTH-TONED RAGE.

My latest blog post on the Acts 29 Blog.
When we started Revolution, our prayer was and is still, that we would die in Tucson. We wanted to give our lives to one church, to one city, to one movement and out of that church, we prayed that 1 million people would follow Jesus because of it. This commitment has helped when times are the darkest, because sometimes, your calling is all you have. You will come back to it and question it and wonder if you heard God correctly. If you commit to stay, it makes difficult situations a little easier. They still hurt and are painful, but when we hit rough patches, Katie and I would look at each other and say, "We decided to outlast them, so let's push through."
Kevan Lee on The best time to write, get ideas, be creative and succeed in work.
Research into the human body—its hormone allotment, its rhythms, and its tendencies—has found that there are certain times of day when the body is just better at performing certain activities. Eat breakfast no later than 8:00 a.m. Exercise between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.Read Twitter from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. (your fellow tweeters are more upbeat in the morning).
Dave Bruskas on 4 ways a pastor can love his wife well. These apply to all men.
I have to preserve my best energy for my wife, and it often requires me to tell some really great people "no" when they request my energy. This also means disappointing them. But I would much rather live with their disappointment than miss out on knowing my wife more deeply.

Casey Graham on 3 common time management traps.
Nothing has helped me produce more results in less time than refusing to mix my days up. I label my days. They are either a Free Day, Buffer Day, or Profit Day. Free days are completely work free.

8 ways to spot emotionally healthy church leaders and staff's.
Emotionally unhealthy people keep company with people who bring them down and then blame everyone else when their life isn't how they want it to be. Conversely, emotionally healthy people don't act as though the world owes them anything. They don't waste their time having pity parties or feeling sorry for themselves.
Mike Leake on The shame of pornography and God's justification of sinners.
For me there was a vicious cycle of freedom, failure, shame, depression, freedom. Over and over and over for the better part of ten years–from my teenage years until a few years into my marriage. The shame over failure only caused me to spiral into deeper despair and more sin took root.

Digital Video Recorders are taking over the universe. Just this past April, Nielsen reported that a whopping 30.6% of U.S. Households have one. That's up from just 12% of US households back in January of 2007. With such incredible growth, it's not unreasonable to assume that DVRs will become standard in every household (and with every cable box you get from your cable provider) sooner rather than later. And if you think that makes the advertising industry want to commit mass hari kari, you would be correct.
I've worked in advertising for over a decade, and since the advent of TiVo, the Internet and On Demand programming, there's long been a sense that the entire industry now has an expiration date. People will get a DVR, they'll skip the ads, and TV ads will cease being effective on a global scale. All that will be left after the Armageddon will be products clumsily inserted into the broadcast at multiple obnoxious points. Watch an episode of "Project Runway" for just such an example. USE THE MACY'S ACCESSORY WALL WISELY.
But one network, AMC, has devised a plan for it new show "The Prisoner" to circumvent DVRs without resorting to blatant product placement. They're called Prison Breaks, and according to Media Week, this is how they work:
One Prison Break block leads off with a five-second bumper, in which Prisoner star Jim Caviezel spies a pair of ghostly skyscrapers rising out of a barren desert. A voiceover tells viewers to hold tight for 30 seconds, upon which more about the apparition will be revealed. An ad for the 2010 Subaru Impreza WRX STI follows. After the spot concludes, a 10-second bump bookends the pod. (Ed. Note: A "pod" is a two-minute commercial segment)
The Prison Breaks are designed to prevent viewers from churning away during the commercial pods, but they also direct the attention toward specific objects, occurrences or bits of dialogue that may be of singular importance as the miniseries progresses.
Did you get that? Neither did I. Apparently, AMC believes you'll decide to not skip through the commercials so that you can see Jim Caviezel look at buildings. It's all part of some Byzantine puzzle of clues you're unlikely to want to piece together. I doubt this strategy will be all that effective, but it is another sign that, somewhere down the road, the 30-second TV spot will cease to exist, and advertisers will continue finding new and adventurous ways to get you to pay attention to their products, squeezing into your favorite shows like a vole under your door.

Gone with the Wind
The Known World
Lost in the City (1992), Edward P. Jones's first book, is a collection of melancholy stories set in black neighborhoods in Washington, D.C. From story to story, each told with an anxiety-swelling calm, the years go by, beginning in the late 1950s, the era of urban renewal when slums were razed, and ending in the mid-1980s, the time of both crack cocaine and gentrification. Jones offers portraits of various inner-city institutions: the corner grocery, the Social Security office, an apartment house full of old people. His characters range from a vicious petty criminal who burglarizes his father's house after his mother's funeral to a member of a gospel quartet ambivalent at seeing one of the churches they perform in burned to ashes. A late-twentieth-century history of black people in D.C. accumulates in these haunting tales about people who can't escape their circumstances. Geography, the condition of getting stuck, is, indeed, fate.
In "The Girl Who Raised Pigeons," a young taxi driver who became a widower at nineteen can't decide to move house before "the community was obliterated." By 1961, his tidy black neighborhood, not a slum, is marked for railroad development. Eventually, when the houses around him have been abandoned, rats invade, destroying the pigeons in his daughter's rooftop coop. Throughout the story we are concentrating mostly on the way a motherless girl and her anxious father helplessly enter a phase of mutual disenchantment. We are as surprised as the father is that rats, the presiding metaphor everywhere for urban woe, should embody the social forces that defeat his efforts to protect his daughter from more of the world's hurts.
What happens when working-class neighborhoods lose their cohesion is very much the social meaning of Lost in the City. The support of people who accept you, who patronize your business, or who take it upon themselves to keep an eye on your children—such people are just gone over the years. In "The Store," a young man who regards being the clerk in a corner grocery as yet another shitty job, "a slave," soon comes to appreciate sharing the woman store owner's authority in a neighborhood where a fifth of her customers buy on credit. The sweet daughter of one troublesome family is the apple of the childless store owner's eye, but when she accidentally runs her over with her Cadillac, she is accused of having killed the child deliberately. She is ostracized by people who had depended on her sympathy, as if to say that deprivation sometimes leads to other kinds of lack, to poverty of imagination, poverty of feeling, and hungers of the spiritual sort.
In "The Night Rhonda Ferguson Was Killed," Jones captures perfectly the mood of freedom among black youth in the early 1960s in their confident, careless talk, the pop hymns that they sing, the way their rear ends appear to oncoming traffic when they stand…

Yeh Mera Pakistan Hai, Yeh Tera Pakistan Hai
Yeh Mera Pakistan Hai, Yeh Tera Pakistan Hai
Iss Par Dil Qurbaan Iss par Jaan Bhi Qurbaan Hai
Yeh Meray Quaid Ki Jeeti Jagti Tasweer Hai
Hazrat-e-Iqbal Ki Khwabon Ki Taabeer Hai
Yeh Watan Pyaara Watan Sarmaya-e-Iman Hai
Iss Par Dil Qurbaan Iss par Jaan Bhi Qurbaan Hai
The above is a popular Pakistani patriotic anthem (YouTube recording here) which could be (very poorly) translated as:
This is my Pakistan, this is your Pakistan
This is my Pakistan, this is your Pakistan
On it we are ready to sacrifice our hearts and lives
This Land is the living monument of my Quaid
The realization of the dreams of Iqbal
This Land, our Beloved Land is the investment of Faith
On it we are ready to sacrifice our hearts and lives
The First line of the Second Verse talks about Pakistan being the "Living Monument of my Quaid" (Quaid being an Urdu word for Leader) and refers to "Quaid-e-Azam" (The Great Leader) Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the Founder of Pakistan, is the man who was the face of the movement for an independent Pakistan. A statesman who dedicated his life to the cause of obtaining a separate homeland for the Muslims of the Indian Sub-continent, he is to Pakistan what George Washington was to United States (and more).
The photo of the Quaid is seen in every Government office as a mark of respect to our Founding Father. This has been the tradition since the independence of Pakistan and one that is deeply ingrained in our society. Unfortunately, it seems that the days of that respect is over. Far from being a "Living Monument of The Quaid" it seems that even a picture of the The Quaid is no longer deemed necessary.
The President of Pakistan, Asif Ali Zardari, hosted a dinner at the official residence in honor of the Pakistani Cricket Team for winning the Cricket Twenty 20 World Cup recently. The following photo (provided by Associated Press of Pakistan) was taken at the event.
For those who are unable to see it properly in the picture above, the four photos in the background (from left to right) are as follows:
President Asif Ali Zardari (co-Chairman of Pakistan People's Party)
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari (Chairman of Pakistan People's Party)
Benazir Bhutto (Former Chairperson of Pakistan People's Party)
Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto (Founding Chairman of Pakistan People's Party)
What a deplorable state our nation is: The photo of our beloved Quaid has been replaced by the those of leaders of the ruling political party. I am sure The Quaid is turning over in his grave as I write: to be replaced by a Twenty Year old College Student or a person with the dubious nickname of Mr. 10 Percent. Has our nation fallen to this level? Have we taken the leaders of our political parties to be of importance above and beyond the Father of Our Nation? Why are there photos of PPP's leaders in President's house anyway? The right to be up there is not for any political party or dynasty but for the men who struggled to provide us this nation. It should not be Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto up there but Sir Allama Muhammad Iqbal. It should not be Benazir Bhutto up there but Madr-e-Millat Fatima Jinnah. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari should not be on the walls but rather Choudhary Rahmat Ali. It is indeed a sad day for Pakistan and its legacy.
The Entire Nation should protest against this travesty.

1.5 ASIC Cell Libraries
The cell library is the key part of ASIC design. For a programmable ASIC the FPGA company supplies you with a library of logic cells in the form of a design kit , you normally do not have a choice, and the cost is usually a few thousand dollars. For MGAs and CBICs you have three choices: the ASIC vendor (the company that will build your ASIC) will supply a cell library, or you can buy a cell library from a third-party library vendor , or you can build your own cell library.
The first choice, using an ASIC-vendor library , requires you to use a set of design tools approved by the ASIC vendor to enter and simulate your design. You have to buy the tools, and the cost of the cell library is folded into the NRE. Some ASIC vendors (especially for MGAs) supply tools that they have developed in-house. For some reason the more common model in Japan is to use tools supplied by the ASIC vendor, but in the United States, Europe, and elsewhere designers want to choose their own tools. Perhaps this has to do with the relationship between customer and supplier being a lot closer in Japan than it is elsewhere.
An ASIC vendor library is normally a phantom library —the cells are empty boxes, or phantoms , but contain enough information for layout (for example, you would only see the bounding box or abutment box in a phantom version of the cell in Figure 1.3). After you complete layout you hand off a netlist to the ASIC vendor, who fills in the empty boxes ( phantom instantiation ) before manufacturing your chip.
The second and third choices require you to make a buy-or-build decision . If you complete an ASIC design using a cell library that you bought, you also own the masks (the tooling ) that are used to manufacture your ASIC. This is called customer-owned tooling ( COT , pronounced "see-oh-tee"). A library vendor normally develops a cell library using information about a process supplied by an ASIC foundry . An ASIC foundry (in contrast to an ASIC vendor) only provides manufacturing, with no design help. If the cell library meets the foundry specifications, we call this a qualified cell library . These cell libraries are normally expensive (possibly several hundred thousand dollars), but if a library is qualified at several foundries this allows you to shop around for the most attractive terms. This means that buying an expensive library can be cheaper in the long run than the other solutions for high-volume production.
The third choice is to develop a cell library in-house. Many large computer and electronics companies make this choice. Most of the cell libraries designed today are still developed in-house despite the fact that the process of library development is complex and very expensive.
However created, each cell in an ASIC cell library must contain the following:
- A physical layout
- A behavioral model
- A Verilog/VHDL model
- A detailed timing model
- A test strategy
- A circuit schematic
- A cell icon
- A wire-load model
- A routing model
For MGA and CBIC cell libraries we need to complete cell design and cell layout and shall discuss this in Chapter 2. The ASIC designer may not actually see the layout if it is hidden inside a phantom, but the layout will be needed eventually. In a programmable ASIC the cell layout is part of the programmable ASIC design (see Chapter 4).
The ASIC designer needs a high-level, behavioral model for each cell because simulation at the detailed timing level takes too long for a complete ASIC design. For a NAND gate a behavioral model is simple. A multiport RAM model can be very complex. We shall discuss behavioral models when we describe Verilog and VHDL in Chapter 10 and Chapter 11. The designer may require Verilog and VHDL models in addition to the models for a particular logic simulator.
ASIC designers also need a detailed timing model for each cell to determine the performance of the critical pieces of an ASIC. It is too difficult, too time-consuming, and too expensive to build every cell in silicon and measure the cell delays. Instead library engineers simulate the delay of each cell, a process known as characterization . Characterizing a standard-cell or gate-array library involves circuit extraction from the full-custom cell layout for each cell. The extracted schematic includes all the parasitic resistance and capacitance elements. Then library engineers perform a simulation of each cell including the parasitic elements to determine the switching delays. The simulation models for the transistors are derived from measurements on special chips included on a wafer called process control monitors ( PCMs ) or drop-ins . Library engineers then use the results of the circuit simulation to generate detailed timing models for logic simulation. We shall cover timing models in Chapter 13.
All ASICs need to be production tested (programmable ASICs may be tested by the manufacturer before they are customized, but they still need to be tested). Simple cells in small or medium-size blocks can be tested using automated techniques, but large blocks such as RAM or multipliers need a planned strategy. We shall discuss test in Chapter 14.
The cell schematic (a netlist description) describes each cell so that the cell designer can perform simulation for complex cells. You may not need the detailed cell schematic for all cells, but you need enough information to compare what you think is on the silicon (the schematic) with what is actually on the silicon (the layout)—this is a layout versus schematic ( LVS ) check.
If the ASIC designer uses schematic entry, each cell needs a cell icon together with connector and naming information that can be used by design tools from different vendors. We shall cover ASIC design using schematic entry in Chapter 9. One of the advantages of using logic synthesis (Chapter 12) rather than schematic design entry is eliminating the problems with icons, connectors, and cell names. Logic synthesis also makes moving an ASIC between different cell libraries, or retargeting , much easier.
In order to estimate the parasitic capacitance of wires before we actually complete any routing, we need a statistical estimate of the capacitance for a net in a given size circuit block. This usually takes the form of a look-up table known as a wire-load model . We also need a routing model for each cell. Large cells are too complex for the physical design or layout tools to handle directly and we need a simpler representation—a phantom —of the physical layout that still contains all the necessary information. The phantom may include information that tells the automated routing tool where it can and cannot place wires over the cell, as well as the location and types of the connections to the cell.

by Jim Harris
"Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys."-P. J. O'Rourke
I can hardly walk down the street these days without someone coming up to me and saying, "Jim, you should run for the 8th City Council District seat (which is currently being vacated by our esteemed Councilperson, Donna Reed Miller)." While I am very flattered, I have given the idea much careful thought, and decided that it's not the right thing for me to do at the present time. As a courtesy to the voters, I feel I should explain the reasons for my decision not to run.
First, and perhaps most importantly, I have no idea what an "8th Council District seat" is. I did a Google search, but after 10 minutes of rigorous "surfing," I became exhausted and fell asleep in my non-political seat in the living room.
I'm assuming that the job involves doing good things like rooting out corruption and giving tax dollars to my friends (I could always ask State Rep. Dwight Evans for advice) and stuff like that, but frankly, I can't take on any more responsibilities for the foreseeable future. Even an abbreviated list of my present long-term commitments includes mammoth tasks like the following:
• I intend to start spending more time with my children, just as soon as I find out who and where they are.
• I'm growing a beard, and it's coming in slower than I expected. Since it requires constant pruning and monitoring, I'm giving it one full year of my undivided attention.
• I plan to start jogging soon. I will gradually increase from a few feet a day to probably hundreds of miles per week. I believe that this will somehow make the world a better place, although I haven't completely thought it through yet.
• I'm turning nocturnal. Since this means that I will no longer be awake during normal business hours, I'll be unable to return phone calls or perform any of the interactive duties required of a typical Philadelphia public servant.
• In addition, if I ran for office, I would probably need to buy new clothes. At present, I only own one suit, and the pants and jacket don't quite match. I also own a blue blazer with fancy buttons and an embroidered anchor on the breast pocket, but it's got some rather large moth holes. And my brown wing-tip shoes don't go with anything. As an unassuming, modest man, I have not shopped for new clothes in years. Come to think of it, I've NEVER shopped for new clothes, and I certainly don't intend to start now.
But most importantly, my family has a long, proud tradition of not running for public office. My great-great-great-grandfather, Jebediah Harris, is best known for his 1776 "midnight ride" through Germantown, shouting, "I'm not running for Governor." Unfortunately, someone shot him before he completed his ride. And in 1892, my grandfather, "Little Willie" Harris,famously declared that he was giving up his run for city dogcatcher "to be with the woman I love," even though he was only 11 years old at the time.
As long as I've got your attention, I might as well let you know that, in addition to myself, my half-brother, Delbert, will also not be running, and Edward Everett Horton, the actor, who is dead, likewise will not be running, although he will be voting in South Philadelphia.
At some point in the future, I may consider briefly running for office, then withdrawing from the race and issuing a 20-page press release explaining why I withdrew (and asking for a DROP payment of a few hundred thousand dollars, like Frank Rizzo), but I'm not quite ready for that level of involvement yet.
In the meantime, when you see my volunteers standing outside area supermarkets, be sure to sign their petition declaring your support for my non-candidacy. I pledge to you that I will continue to not run until every man woman and child in the district is excruciatingly aware of my total commitment to not running.
I would encourage all of you folks who are also not running for the council seat — I'm sure there are a still a few of you out there — to notify the media of your reasons. I firmly believe that a well-informed public is vitally important to a free society, even when the information being disseminated is totally ridiculous. Thank you all for your rapt attention, and may God bless the 8th Councilmanic District.

Cyanocobalamin - oral
Brand name(s)
Vitamin B-12
See also Precautions section.
Cyanocobalamin is a man-made form of vitamin B12 used to prevent and treat low blood levels of this vitamin. Most people get enough vitamin B12 from their diet. Vitamin B12 is important to maintain the health of your metabolism, blood cells, and nerves. Serious vitamin B12 deficiency may result in a low number of red blood cells (anemia), stomach/intestine problems, and permanent nerve damage.
Vitamin B12 deficiency may occur in certain health conditions (such as intestinal/stomach problems, poor nutrition, cancer, HIV infection, pregnancy, old age, alcoholism). It may also occur in people who follow a strict vegetarian (vegan) diet.
If you are taking the over-the-counter product to self-treat, follow all directions on the product package before taking this medication. If you have any questions, consult your pharmacist. If your doctor has directed you to take this medication, take as directed by your doctor.
Take this medication by mouth, usually once daily with or without food or as directed by your doctor or the product package. Use this product regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day.
The dosage is based on your medical condition, response to treatment, and laboratory tests. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
There are many brands and forms of cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) available. Read the dosing instructions carefully for each product because the amount of cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) may be different between products.
If you are using the liquid form of this medication, carefully measure the dose using a special measuring device/spoon. Do not use a household spoon because you may not get the correct dose. Some liquid brands may require you to shake the bottle well before each dose.
If you are taking the extended-release tablets, do not crush or chew them. Doing so can release all of the drug at once, increasing the risk of side effects. Also, do not split extended-release tablets unless they have a score line and your doctor or pharmacist tells you to do so. Swallow the whole or split tablet without crushing or chewing.
If you are taking the chewable tablet, chew the medication thoroughly before swallowing.
If you are taking the rapidly-dissolving tablets, dissolve in the mouth with or without water as directed by your doctor or the product package.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) can decrease the amount of vitamin B12 you absorb. Avoid taking large doses of vitamin C within one hour before or after taking this product.
If your condition persists or worsens, or if you think you may have a serious medical problem, seek immediate medical attention.
This product usually has no side effects. If you have any unusual effects, contact your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
If your doctor has directed you to use this medication, remember that he or she has judged the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
If you have severe anemia, this medication may rarely cause low potassium levels in the blood (hypokalemia) as your body makes new red blood cells. Tell your doctor right away if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur:
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, seek immediate medical attention if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including:
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Cyanocobalamin is safe to use during pregnancy when taken in recommended doses. Higher doses should be used only when clearly needed. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.
Cyanocobalamin passes into breast milk and is unlikely to harm a nursing infant when used in recommended doses. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
The effects of some drugs can change if you take other drugs or herbal products at the same time. This can increase your risk for serious side effects or may cause your medications not to work correctly. These drug interactions are possible, but do not always occur. Your doctor or pharmacist can often prevent or manage interactions by changing how you use your medications or by close monitoring.
To help your doctor and pharmacist give you the best care, be sure to tell your doctor and pharmacist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products) before starting treatment with this product. While using this product, do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any other medicines you are using without your doctor's approval.

Vitamin B12 is an ingredient found in many combination vitamin and nutritional products. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking other products that contain cyanocobalamin, vitamin B12, or hydroxocobalamin.
Cyanocobalamin may interfere with certain laboratory tests (including intrinsic factor, blood tests for other types of anemia), possibly causing false test results. Make sure laboratory personnel and all your doctors know you use this drug.
Certain drugs may interfere with laboratory tests for vitamin B12 levels, possibly causing false results. Tell laboratory personnel and all your doctors if you take any of the following:

Hello 4th,
I recall the incoming sound of the 122mm rocket as a turbine-like whine. It was a spin stabilised rocket having 5 canted vent nozzels as well as folded angled fins that allowed tube launch. Many used by the VC in I Corps area after Tet "68 were launched from a couple bamboo sticks acting as a fall-away bipod. Cheap and disposable.
Those 122's had a range of about 8 klicks. There were also booster modules available that extended the range. I could see the VC rocket teams launch at night at Camp Evens from so-called "friendly villages". I had 40mm "Dusters" return fire anyway and got my ass chewed. I was not "politically correct" FxxxK 'em !!!!!
Early one morning I was blown out of my rack by a 122 rocket that flew directly over my hooch. It sounded like an airforce jet at low level. The shrapnel shreded buildings and water buffalows like a giant shotgun. A large chunk of nozzel came through my hooch smokin' hot. The piece even had serial numbers on it !!!
Back home I told this incident to my buddy's father (a decorated WW-II US Aircorps officer and POW) and forging machinery engineer. He stated that his American company had made the machinery to produce the 122mm rockets and sold the equipment to India... who then produced the Fxxxxing rockets for the VC and NVA. How GD thoughtful !!!!!
The 122mm rocket is an area weapon and was intended to be fired in masses in WW-II against the nazis. The launcher racks were installed on Studebaker trucks from the US. They were effective !!!!
Since Gaza and Israel are very small land areas the 122mm rockets are sufficient (with boosters) to hit most "areas". They can be man-portable with the warhead separated if needed. I believe that the rockets used a double-base nitro-cellulose propellant in a single extruded grain (ie not as a powder like we use for ammo reloading). That type can propell a rocket up to about 6 inches in diameter max.
Yes, the nazis used numbers of field arty rockets in WW-II such as the souped-up "Nebelwerfers" (smoke thrower chemical rockets) with HE warheads. They also had some multi-stage solid propellant FA rockets.
The Ruskies used far more solid propellant FA rockets as they were cheap, quick and dirty area weapons. They were also very indiscriminate and still are. They have no guidance system and are "free flight" types.
It does seem that Hamas has run about out of their large rocket inventory and are thus seeking a "truce" to reload more rockets from Iran etc. Who was it that said, "a moderate Iranian is one who has run out of ammo" ???

Please take the time to read our articles. We hope you will find them informative and beneficial to your home decorating project.

Some of our articles and design projects are for an experienced seamstress, while other articles , such as how to make a Sunburst Curtain ,are better suited for less experienced and beginning seamstress. We will also feature articles and make suggestions on interior home improvements.
Check out our article on "choosing the right drapery hardware." It explains the basics of curtain and drapery hardware
Our goal is to be a resource for those who plan to do their own home designing and decorating and also a resource for those who are searching for companies and products to assist them in their home interior decorating and improvements efforts.
Curtains or Draperies?
A curtain is a piece of fabric hung in loose folds to cover a window or area of a window. Heavier fabric graciously hanging at a window is referred to as a drapery. The term was derived when curtains where hung from the top of a window and allowed to drape in a pool of fabric on the floor. The term curtains and draperies are used interchangeably today. However, window treatment professionals scorn the word "curtains" even though the term curtains seems to be used more often outside of the window treatment profession.
From my perspective, I will explain it this way, soft window treatments that are made from formal heavy woven high quality fabric that touch or drape the floor are still referred to as drapery. Soft window treatments that are made from lighter weight inexpensive fabrics that extend to only a portion of the window are often referred to as curtains, and both are referred to as soft window treatments.
Curtains and draperies are beneficial to us in that they create privacy, conserve energy and block light. An insulated drapery that can open and close will create the privacy we desire in the evening and allow ample sunlight to shine through during the day. It will lower our heating and cooling expense as well as conserve energy and best of all curtains make a window more esthetically pleasing to the eye and décor of the room.
Windows are the eyes of our homes and a well dressed window with curtains or draperies will give us the peace, calm, and harmony that we are all attempting to achieve in this journey called life.
Choosing the right style, color and texture of curtains are always somewhat of a challenge. However, it has been my experience that determining the style of curtain seems to be less of a challenge than determining the color/ shade. It is safe to go with the predominate color in the room or a hue of that color and believe it or not that is usually our favorite color.

HEKS/EPER supports the «Centro Diaconale La Noce» operated by the Waldensian Church in Palermo, which works for the social integration of disadvantaged persons. At the core of the work of the Centro is the school – about a fifth of the children have a disability or a migration background. By attending school alongside local children and children without disabilities they become socially integrated and receive optimal support. The Centro also runs a therapy centre that fosters the development of children with disabilities, as well as a home for unaccompanied refugee minors. The women's shelter in turn gives refuge to mothers and their children in family crisis situations, and through the integration centre, «La Noce» assists ex-offenders on their way to an independent life.
In 2017 HEKS/EPER funded safe travel to Italy as well as accommodation and integration measures during the asylum procedure for 170 especially vulnerable refugees.

Three Choices Happy People Make
By Jennifer Boykin
Creator, Life After Tampons
Do you feel like Sisyphus? Every morning you drag your sad old bag of bones out of bed and get to work pushing your boulder of responsibilities and challenges uphill, only to have it come rolling back to the ground every night on your way home from work?
Or do you wake up more like the Duncan Donuts guy. Remember him? It's always dark when he gets up. He shuffles around the house getting ready and muttering to himself, "Got to make the donuts. Got to make the donuts." But then, he turns around at the counter of his shop and claps his hand with glee at all the donut buyers clamoring for his fresh Boston Creams!
It wasn't all that long ago that I was certain I was doomed to a life of drudgery and unhappiness. Truly. If you had my problems, you'd be unhappy, too.
And then I would list my problems – my losses – for you. So you would HAVE TO AGREE that lasting happiness was just not going to happen for me. You might shake your head in sympathy, and then you'd get up and go about the business of enjoying your own life.
I wondered how you did it. Really, life just wasn't fair. Of course I could be happy if I had your life. If my dad hadn't left me (47 years ago!), my baby hadn't died (20 years ago!) and blah and blah and blah and blah.
Certainly, there were times of great joy, particularly with respect to my three sons. But then something would happen and it would completely derail me and I would go all the way back to the beginning of the Loss List again, just like Sisyphus' boulder.
But then, finally, MERCIFULLY, I figured it out. Happiness is a choice! Happiness is a DECISION! And even better, it's MY decision. YOU get absolutely NO VOTE AT ALL in whether I get to be happy or not. What you do or don't do, what you decide or don't decide, how you behave or don't behave, what you say or don't say – absolutely none of it has any bearing at all on my happiness. (Further, since you get the same choice, I'm no longer for your happiness, either. What a relief that is!)
BUT – there is a CATCH.
And here it is:
Although the CONCEPT of happiness as a choice is simple to grasp, its IMPLEMENTATION is not.
In order to CHOOSE to be happy you MUST be willing to GIVE UP:
- YOUR STORY – This means that you no longer have permission to replay your unhappy memories over and over again. You also don't get to share your woes repeatedly with friends. You might tell one or two friends about your CURRENT concerns, but then you move on. Instead of repeating unhappy ideas and memories, you insist on shouting out your joys.
- "Bright Shiny Object" Syndrome – This means that you don't use spending as a way to numb your pain. Instead, you learn to "be comfortable being uncomfortable." You develop the maturity to sit with discomfort because you have learned that it passes more quickly that way.
- Selfishness, for a Life of Service – When you extend yourself to others you learn that you always have something to give. When you help someone else, you forget about your troubles. When you focus on others instead of yourself, your problems become "right-sized." You gain perspective and gratitude from helping others.
The sacrifice you make to be happy is your status as Chief Martyr of the Universe. To "get happy" you have to give up the "sugar high" of attention you get from your misery. Believe me, I'm the mother of a dead child – there are people in this world who would enable my unhappiness on this situation alone until I drew my last breath.
But my daughter's story isn't about loss. It's about triumph. The miracle of Grace's story is that ALL HEALING IS POSSIBLE. That's the message of her life. That is her legacy.
And I have my own.
So, if you're chronically unhappy see if you can't make some better choices about what you focus on. Decide to be the Duncan Donuts guy and leave Sisyphus aside. Truly the world needs more donuts than martyrs anyway.

After Cain murdered Abel, humanity fell into two factions: the sons of Cain and the sons of Seth. Marked by his misdeeds, Cain's descendants are greedy and base. They've traded their faith in the creator for a life of sin. Lead by the ruthless Tubal-cain (Ray Winstone: Lords of London), the people of Cain have built industrial cities and violated Earth.
Seth's descendants have taken a nobler path, living off the land, taking only what they need and upholding the rules of God. Their path is righteous, but it's not very successful. Tubal-cain and his men have killed the sons of Seth, ensuring that goodness dies with them.
Or so the evil king thought. Surviving is one last heir, Noah (Russell Crowe: Winter's Tale), who has lived in hiding after witnessing the murder of his father. Over the years, Noah has built up a family and lived as the creator dictated. His fealty is rewarded with a vision: God will send a great flood to the world, killing all impure life. Noah's job is to build a vessel and save innocent life from destruction.
Over 10 years, Noah and his family construct an ark as animals arrive two by two. But the grand migration of fowls and beasts attracts the attention of Tubal-cain, who is on the lookout for land that isn't ash. On finding the ark, Tubal-cain organizes an army to take it before the water rises.
Part environmental parable, part Bible story and part bizarre fantasy epic, Noah is a confused, beautiful mess. Don't expect the Sunday school story that you remember. Director Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan) gives us stunning visuals and a mixed up story. He has more good ideas than time — or ability — to explore them. The environmental story he begins is forgotten halfway in for CGI technology. Thus Aronofsky falls under the spell of The Watchers, angels who fell to Earth and were punished by having their angelic form covered with rock and molten mud. Neither impressive to look at nor interesting as characters, The Watchers are silly creatures of the type you might enjoy in Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter.
When Noah pauses from spectacle, it offers some great acting. Crowe — who's had a questionable run of late — is amazing as a devoted prophet. He imbues Noah with an intensity that teeters on the edge of insanity. As his foil, Winstone's Tubal-cain believes he is as powerful as God, able to give or take life as he sees fit.
If you're interested in a few scenes of interesting Biblical debate or in considering how far computer-rendering technology has come, Noah is worth the price of admission. If you're looking for deeper meaning, skip a film that wades in shallow waters.

As you know by reading this blog, Rubio Long Snapping has adjusted the testing aspect of all regional camps this spring with the "introduction" of the RSI. I put "introduction" in quotes because RSI has been around for MANY years at the Rubio Long Snapping VEGAS Events but has just recently been worked into the regional camps to add continuity and to track the Long Snappers and their improvement.
For the first Rubio Long Snapping spring camp in CA, the RSI scores are shown here, the NC RSI scores are shown here, the WA RSI scores are here, the TX RSI scores are shown here, the AZ RSI scores are shown here and the NJ scores are shown here. Now that six camps have concluded, here are the comparisons and contrasts between the geographical areas and their Long Snappers. Only a couple of spring camps left to knock AZ off the top of the mountain…sorry CA, you held the title for some time but AZ has it now!
Rubio Long Snapping is, by far, the biggest and best resource for Long Snappers in the country. Rubio has been featured in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the USA Today, Deadspin and countless other publications.
Offering the best instruction and most exposure in the world, Rubio Long Snapping can help you to become the best snapper you can be!
In just 12 years, Chris Rubio, President and Owner of Rubio Long Snapping, has become the #1 Long Snapping instructor in the country and the go-to man when a college coach needs a Long Snapper. Colleges from across the country rely on "Rubio's" word day in and day out on who the best Long Snappers are in the country. Rubio Long Snapping has assisted in over 300 Long Snappers earning FULL SCHOLARSHIPS to major colleges and universities just for Long Snapping and many into the NFL as well.

Dear Mr. Porkenbeans,
I fail to understand why you are accusing my person of any kind of foul play. I merely noticed you opining that the contest entries here are all pieces of crap. Your comments were uttered in such a confident manner; hence I concluded that you must be a mapmaking guru of sorts - one who has tons of unbelievably amazing maps under his belt.
Being a curious person, this naturally sparked my curiosity. Therefore I enquired where might I see these amazing masterpieces of yours - and possibly even play them? But alas, for some reason, you apparently took my honest enquiry as an insult... I cannot being to fathom why that would be!
I assure you, no insult was intended, and any perceived slight on my part must simply have been a grievous misunderstanding.
With Best Regards,
N. D., Esquire

WooCommerce Blocks are the easiest, most flexible way to display your products on posts and pages!
Note: Feature plugin for WooCommerce + Gutenberg. This plugin serves as a space to iterate and explore new Blocks and updates to existing blocks for WooCommerce, and how WooCommerce might work with the block editor.
Use this plugin if you want access to the bleeding edge of available blocks for WooCommerce. However, stable blocks are bundled into WooCommerce, and can be added from the "WooCommerce" section in the block inserter.
Featured Product Block
Select and display a single product in a new, high impact fashion. Control text alignment, hide or show the price and description, add a color overlay, change the button call to action, and override the product photo.
Featured Category Block
Visually highlight a product category to increase traffic to that specific section on your shop.
Hand-Picked products Block
Display a grid of hand picked products. Products can be ordered in various ways.
Best Selling Products Block
Display a grid of your best selling products, filterable by category.
Top Rated Products Block
Display a grid of your top rated products, filterable by category.
Newest Products Block
Display a grid of your newest products, filterable by category.
On Sale Products Block
Display a grid of on sale products, filterable by category.
Products by Category Block
Display a grid of products from your selected category, or categories. Products can be ordered in various ways.
Products by Tag Block
Show a grid of products based on a specific tag that allows you to highlight products based on finer classification options.
Products by Attribute Block
Display a grid of products from your selected attributes.
Product Categories List Block
Display all your product categories as a list or dropdown and help shoppers to find a specific category.
Reviews by Product
Display reviews of a specific product to build trust in your product and brand.
Reviews by Category
Highlight reviews from specific categories and help merchants making an informed purchasing decision.
All Reviews
Show a list of all product reviews on a landing page, blog post or any other page in your site.
Product Search
Help shoppers find your products by placing a search box in specific locations.
All Products
Display all products from your store as a grid with pagination and sorting options. Requires WordPress 5.3.
Filter Products by Price
Display a slider to filter products in your store by price. Works in combination with the All Products block. Requires WordPress 5.3.
Filter Products by Attribute
Display a list of filters based on a chosen product attribute. Works in combination with the All Products block. Requires WordPress 5.3.
Active Product Filters
Display a list of active product filters. Works in combination with the Filter Products by Price and Filter Products by Attribute blocks. Requires WordPress 5.3.
We've also improved the category selection filter. If you select two or more categories, you can now chose to show products that include ANY or ALL selected categories.
Getting Started
Minimum Requirements
- WordPress 5.0
- WooCommerce 3.7 or greater
- PHP version 5.6 or greater (PHP 7.2 or greater is recommended)
- MySQL version 5.0 or greater (MySQL 5.6 or greater is recommended)
Visit the WooCommerce server requirements documentation for a detailed list of server requirements.
Automatic installation
Automatic installation is the easiest option as WordPress handles the file transfers itself and you don't need to leave your web browser. To do an automatic install of this plugin, log in to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to the Plugins menu and click Add New.
In the search field type "WooCommerce Gutenberg Products Block" and click Search Plugins. Once you've found this plugin you can view details about it such as the point release, rating and description. Most importantly of course, you can install it by simply clicking "Install Now".
Manual installation
The manual installation method involves downloading the plugin and uploading it to your webserver via your favourite FTP application. The WordPress codex contains instructions on how to do this here.
Sample data
WooCommerce comes with some sample data you can use to populate the products and get started building Products blocks quickly and easily. You can use the core CSV importer or our CSV Import Suite plugin to import sample_products.csv.
Where can I report bugs or contribute to the project?
Bugs should be reported in the WooCommerce Gutenberg Products Block GitHub repository.
This is awesome! Can I contribute?
Yes you can! Join in on our GitHub repository 🙂
