Tourist routes through Norway's dramatic countryside are very popular. In the last couple of years some impressive architectural projects along these routes – view points, platforms and rest areas, commissioned by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration – received a lot of attention. The investment in the development of 18 road sections into tourist routes passing through the unique Norwegian natural landscape, shall contribute to strengthening trade and industry as well as settlement, particularly in the outer regions of Norway. The various enhancement sites have been designed by a series of Norwegian and international architects, landscape architects and designers. One beautiful example is the Tourist Route Trollstigen designed by the Norwegian Reiulf Ramstad Arkitekter.
Here is what the architects say:
The project will enhance the experience of the Trollstigen plateau's location and nature. Thoughtfulness regarding features and materials will underscore the site's temper and character, and well-adapted, functional facilities will augment the visitor's experience. The architecture is to be characterised by clear and precise transitions between planned zones and the natural landscape. Through the notion of water as a dynamic element –from snow, to running and then falling water- and rock as a static element, the project creates a series of prepositional relations that describe and magnify the unique spatiality of the site.

Mostly Raw Kelp Noodle Salad

That salad is so light and delicious!ReplyDelete
This sounds good to me even if you are not on a cleanse routine. DianeReplyDelete
This looks so light and refreshing! I've been adding sesame seeds to all my salads lately - adds such a lovely nuttiness.ReplyDelete
So colorful and fresh. Wish I could find these kelp noodles here in India.ReplyDelete

OMG looks sooo good, I'm going to try it!!ReplyDelete

Tailoring a cleanse for your body is so important - I know I don't do well with all juice and need a little more sustenance, too. Your salad is a great add on, so light but nourishing, and is one of my favorite kinds of salads - meals, actually: the asian influence, crunch of the cucumber and cabbage paired with the slippery noodles, and the salty tang of Bragg's. I would love a little squeeze of lime in this, too!ReplyDelete
Looks and sounds delicious.ReplyDelete
Cleansing is wonderful and as you know I am a real lover of this ritual too.
I completed a six week stint a little while ago, and am looking forward to kicking it up a notch for my next round in late Spring. Got myself a good juicer (had to leave my lovely Breville behind in Sydney when we moved) and am so keen to try a juice cleanse.
I would love it if you shared your juices and the key benefits of their ingredients!
Happy cleansing and hope the side effects aren't too bad.

This looks so perfect for a nice warm day!ReplyDelete
Hi Maria,ReplyDelete
Would you be able to tell me where you bought the kelp noodles? I live in Sydney also and would absolutely love to make this - it looks delicious!
Thank you!!
Hi Alissa,ReplyDelete
I buy mine at Taste Organic in Crows Nest. I think About Life (in Rozelle and Bondi) sell them as well!
Hi Charlotta!ReplyDelete
Thank you! I have share some of my juice recipes in this post
Perhaps I need to do another post soon, there is just so much to say about green juices!
I have been wanting to make this since you posted it but couldn't find Kelp noodles anywhere in Ottawa! now I've moved to Reykjavik and they have them at the grocery store!! yayyyReplyDelete

Woodlawn man sentenced in massive identity theft scheme
Derrick Hill used identities of 250+ people to steal money, buy goods
A Woodlawn man will spend 11 years in prison for stealing the identities of more than 250 people.
Derrick Hill, 53, was also ordered to pay more than $191,000 in restitution at a sentencing hearing on Monday.
According to his plea agreement on wire fraud and aggravated identity theft charges, Hill received stolen checks that were meant to be destroyed by banks between August and October of 2009 in a scheme that involved his girlfriend, Renee Cabell, and two co-conspirators, John Coffey and Tawney King.
U.S. attorneys said Hill also got access to personal identity information of patients at the Highlandtown Community Health Center from King, 46, who worked at the facility. Hill then used that information to create counterfeit checks and to make counterfeit ID cards and driver's licenses for those involved in the scheme, authorities said.
Prosecutors said Coffey, 43, helped Hill cash the checks, and Cabell, 51, gave him identity information of doctors who had applied for fellowships at Johns Hopkins Hospital, where she worked processing the applications. Officials said Hill would use the doctors' identities to rent apartments and buy merchandise.
Attorneys said the four defendants ended up collecting more than $188,000 worth of goods and services during the scheme that involved more than 250 victims.
Cabell, Coffey and King all previously pleaded guilty to the same charges as Hill. Cabell and Coffey got 30 months and 57 months in prison, respectively. King will be sentenced on Thursday.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles producer Josh Friedman went online to address fans' concerns about the show. The spoiler-averse creator even ventured into spoiler territory, assuring fans the season's final episodes will pack a punch.
In his new post at the show's official blog, Friedman says fans seem to be "stressed," both about the show's direction and about its chances for survival. And he tried to offer fans a bit of digital valium. As far as the show's ratings go, Friedman says, everyone expected it to have a drop-off when it moved to Fridays, and nobody can really tell how much of a drop-off is too much. At least the second Friday episode had the same ratings as the first. How does Friedman handle the uncertainty? Here's how:
Every day early in the morning I drive my car to the Warner Bros lot. I approach the security guard and hold out my employee ID. He runs the scanner over it. If I hear the beep and the gate opens I say to myself: "So far so good" and go to my office. I will continue to do this until the gate does not open and I suggest you do the same. The show is on until it is off and while that could be next week, next season, or years from now, try to enjoy it while you can (assuming you enjoy it).
And then Friedman addresses your (and our) concerns about the show's creative direction — and it's very illuminating. For example, he says the two most recent episodes are part of a "trilogy" examining Sarah Connor herself, which concludes this Friday with "Some Must Sleep..." Friedman explains that he made a deliberate decision "some months ago" to start focusing the show more on Sarah Conner herself, and what the fight against Skynet is doing to her.
I wanted to explore not simply the idea of chasing Skynet and all that that entails, but also the psychological effects of doing so. It wasn't enough to just hunt/fight/protect; I wanted to see what was going on inside her head, especially when those around her doubted her. Now some of you find that interesting, some of you don't, some of you probably would but don't think I've done a good job depicting it. And most of you are just pissed there's not enough Cameron.
Is it difficult starting up with dark, psychological episodes after being gone for two months? Seems that's the case. People are worked up about the Friday night thing and the ratings and I probably underestimated that microscope in my desire to explore Sarah and her demons. To be completely honest, the network warned me not to do it but I felt (and still feel) these stories (and I consider the upcoming Some Must Sleep… as the third part of the Sarah triptych) were/are vital parts of the show. But that's coming from the guy who believes that if you enjoy watching Weaver slaughter thirty people in one episode you're obligated to go to their funeral in the next.
And then he lists all the stuff we're going to get a degree of closure on this season, and it all sounds pretty fantastic, including a future storyline about Jesse's Terminator-piloted nuclear submarine, which explains how she got back to the present, and what it means for John Connor. There will be more John/Cameron (or "Jameron") shippery stuff, but not too much. Catherine Weaver will fight another Terminator and have a "faceoff" with Sarah Connor. Agents of Skynet will mount a "deadly" attack on the Connors, and Cameron's chip malfunction will reappear in "new and deadly ways." Savannah will be in "mortal danger." Plus there'll be final closure for Jesse and Riley, an explanation of Catherine Weaver's backstory and mission, an explanation of the three dots, and loads and loads of death.
Reading Friedman's blog post, I felt a tad guilty that I was a bit harsh about last Friday's episode, which is growing on me. In general, I feel as though the show's second season has been way stronger than its strike-blighted first, and I'm always in favor of introspection and character study, along with the boom-booms. In any case, Friedman says the show is just about done shooting, so it's too late for anybody's back-seat writing to make a difference. Here's hoping the show pulls off a miracle and gets a third season — I suspect that upward trajectory in the show's quality would continue in year three. [Fox Blogs via Sarah Connor Society]

According to Dr. Tony Romeo, who performed the radical surgery to repair Peavy's detached latissimus muscle at Rush University Medical Center last July 14, don't expect the right-hander to be on the mound in April.
"I think we know how competitive Jake is and he still wants to be able to play from the beginning of the season," Romeo said in a phone interview Monday night. "But as I said last year after the surgery, when there is any type of tendon injury around the shoulder, the return is going to be close to one year."
… "I could see him pitching with the White Sox at the beginning of May."
If that happens, Peavy would miss his first five starts — with Phil Humber filling his slot — and possibly debut against the Orioles on May 2 at U.S. Cellular Field.
According to Romeo, who is flying to Glendale, Ariz., Tuesday morning to personally examine Peavy, that's the best-case scenario.

It's that time of year again. 5 Minutes for Mom is having their Ultimate Blog Party. The UBP was created in 2007 as a blog party for moms. Almost 1000 bloggers joined in. And, the rest is history. If you want to meet fabulous bloggers like yourself, be sure to visit 5 Minutes for Mom and link up. All the cool kids are doing it. No, seriously, they are.
If you're here visiting from the UBP, let me introduce myself. My name is Misty, but my blog friends call me hotpants™. I'll be 32 in 8 days. {I still feel 18, in case you were wondering.} I work full time as a Mortgage Post Closer. I have a weekly feature called The Talk of Tinseltown which is chock-full of celebrity gossip. I'm also mildly obsessed with vampires and Britney Spears. I tell it like it is, speak fluent sarcasm and can teach you how to get a great spray tan. To sum things up... I'm awesomesauce. We should be friends.
My husband , The Hero, is a firefighter. He loves weight lifting, Florida State football and is totally Team Jacob. He may drive me batty when he plays Call of Duty for hours on the couch, but he's a good egg. I think I'll keep him.
My kids, Little Man and Little Bit, are 5 and 2. Little Man loves computer games, Power Rangers and aggravating his little sister. Little Bit loves Dora, purses and being sassy. Without these two, my life would be extremely boring.
Then there's my bestie, Terri from Peace, Love & Applesauce. She's crafty, a lover of shoes and gives the best Dancing with the Stars recaps. I anticipate her witty commentary, and I don't even watch the show!
I hope you'll take a look around.
And, if you think we can be friends,
I think you should read this first.
If all of these things aren't enough to keep you here,
maybe a Vera Bradley Giveaway will do the trick.
Stay tuned for one on Monday!

This is why I ride suicide and not on a flagging system. Sounds like some of you were lucky and had time to activate a second release. I would rather just activate one release than hope I have time to activate a second.
Then again I'm a big advocate of flying the right kite for the conditions and only going out in conditions you are comfortable riding in. I have even stopped people on the beach that I thought were beginners putting up big kites in strong winds or with a storm coming in. They have thanked me afterwards every time.

Talk:List of predicted dates for the end of the world
Major and minor predictions[edit]
Not all predictions are equal. There ought to be some way of distinguishing widely-reported or -believed predictions (like Harold Camping's), from the rantings of some disregarded street preacher. Perhaps a star before the date or something? Anyone got any suggestions? --Arensb 11:58, 18 February 2012 (CST)
- I'd suggest sectioning this page by the church / religious group that the prediction was under the banner of, thus pretty much cutting out the lone wolf predictions that barely anyone knew about. And I suspect the majority of people reading and editing the list are only really interested in one particular religious group anyway, so that'd be easier to follow. --jaban 17:28, 21 May 2012 (CDT)
- IMHO the value of this page (if it's properly fleshed out) would be to be show it to the next person who says the world is about to end, and say "look, all of these people sincerely believed that the end of the world was just around the corner, and they were all wrong. Why should I believe that your sincere belief is any different?"
- So while it might make sense to split the list up by Christian Rapture vs. Aliens vs. Mayan calendar or some such, I wouldn't further subdivide by denomination or anything like that. --Arensb 11:25, 22 May 2012 (CDT)
[citation needed][edit]
Ideally, all of these predictions should be accompanied by references. --Arensb 15:05, 18 May 2012 (CDT)

Look. This is going to be a mushy post. About a cat. If you don't like it, don't read it, and especially don't comment. I'm not particularly interested in your disapproval right now.
About eight years ago, I was living in Toronto in the basement of the mother of my boss. My roommate at the time had a cat, Casey, a big bruiser of a tom, but rescued another — a kitten she found at a shelter, who as it turns out was the runt of her litter.

[Election 2008]
[Election 2008]
As the John McCain assault troops were going on the attack against the so-called "liberal" media, Alaska Governor cum Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin assumed center-stage at the Republican Convention and delivered a well- scri pted acceptance speech, to borrow a phrase from the Bard, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Absolutely nothing.
But perhaps poor Billy Shakespeare is part of the liberal media elite, too.
It was a strange mixture of Jimmy-Stewart-in-drag from Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, blended with a turn by Reese Witherspoon in the darkly comical Election. But the Republican/Christian right—and folks we are talking territory somewhere beyond Attila the Hun—lapped it up with cheers and standing ovations. Make no mistake about it, and Democrats will do so only at their peril, the Republican base is newly invigorated. They have never been comfortable with John McCain, but in Sarah "Barracuda" Palin, they got their girl.
Let me give Palin her due: with a degree in journalism from Podunk, Idaho, and a makeover provided by Vogue magazine, Palin delivered her lines admirably, stumbling only over the multi-syllables and phrases that she'd never uttered before: like Al-Qaida. She had done a few brief stints as a sportscaster in her adopted Alaska, and she knew what it meant to read a teleprompter. But when it comes to substance, she's in so way over her head that there's no pretense of making it to the top. She'll play out the next 60 days as the Little Mermaid and let the bubbles flow to the surface. It's all one big cartoon.
Palin delivered her attack lines with red-neck panache, but it will wait to be seen if they hit home with independents and moderates. I don't think so. I saw how my 93-year-old Republican mother responded to her; she walked out of the room. So did others I know. And I can only imagine that she sent those last Hillary Clinton holdouts trembling.
In spite of claims by Republican lapdogs to the contrary, Palin was all hat and no saddle at the podium. She said nothing about the economy, nothing of substance about the myriad of international issues that confront this nation. Her energy policy was straight out of a high school civics class and meant to appease everyone. She had trouble with the phrase "nuclear energy"—and I'm not sure how comfortable the American people will be with atomic power plants on every street corner.
Then there was the overwhelming gall of it all: Palin comparing her six years as mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, to that of Obama's career as a community organizer, state senator, U.S. Senator, and more significantly, an international political figure for the past four years. This feeds into the derision that Palin got more votes than Joe Biden. In fact, a look at the City of Wasilla web site reveals that in 1999, Palin received all of 909 votes for mayor, which is not quite what I received for student body president in junior high school. That's right: less than a decade ago, Sarah Palin received 909 votes and the Republicans are touting this record.
Then there was the utter gall of her broaching the line of foreign policy: "Al-Qaida terrorists want to harm America," she snarled, "and [Obama's] worried someone won't read 'em their rights." It was populist demagoguery at its worst, straight out of the Huey Long playbook.
The Republicans will stoop to anything.
Moreover, as the father of a so-called "special needs" child, I was particularly outraged and appalled by her claim that she will go to Washington and speak on behalf of "special needs parents." In fact, the evangelical Palin opposes stem-cell medical research, a line of study that promises hope for a cure for my daughter. Sarah Palin doesn't speak one breath for me or my family or for any other special needs parents praying for medical breakthroughs through stem-cell research.
I will fight her on that score until my last breath.
For all the golly-gees and smooth-overs in the Twin Cities, the most offensive aspects of the marketing of Sarah Palin remain the fabrications and deceits surrounding her public record in Alaska. She backed off from touting her opposition to the Bridge to Nowhere (the local press caught her in that lie), but she continues to paint herself as an anti-government maverick, opposed to government spending and pork-barrel programs.
That is, of course, unless the benefit her or her many constituencies.
"While I was at it, I got rid of a few things in the governor's office that I didn't believe our citizens should have to pay for," Palin touted. "That luxury jet was over the top. I put it on eBay." Where it didn't sell; it was a publicity stunt. Nor did she mention that the jet was originally purchased by her one-time politically ally, Frank Murkowski, a Republican.
In a passionate plea for more media scrutiny, Time Magazine's Joe Klein urged his colleagues not to give in to the McCain-Palin bullying. "It is important for the public to know that Palin raised taxes as governor," Klein wrote, "supported the Bridge to Nowhere before she opposed it, pursued pork-barrel projects as mayor, tried to ban books at the local library and thinks the war in Iraq is 'a task from God.' The attempts by the McCain campaign to bully us into not reporting such things are not only stupidly aggressive, but unprofessional in the extreme."
Sarah Palin is a fraud. She's a pitbull in lipstick, all right, and her fangs are real. But when it comes to substance, she's all bark and no bite.

"Chicago Fire" sparked NBC's prime-time lineup last season with its mix of adrenaline-driven action sequences and personal drama revolving around the truck-and-rescue squad of a fictional Chicago firehouse.
Creator and executive producer Dick Wolf now wants to add heat to the fire with a spinoff, "Chicago P.D.," premiering Wednesday.
Wolf and his fellow producers hope "Chicago Fire," still a solid performer in its second season, will fuel interest in "Chicago P.D.," which will feature an ensemble combining familiar faces from "Chicago Fire" with new characters.
Like its predecessor, "Chicago P.D." has a retro vibe recalling the 1970s and '80s, when it was hard to turn the channel without running into a drama about cops or emergency workers — shows such as "Hill Street Blues," "The Rookies" and "T.J. Hooker."
Programmers now gravitate more toward moody dramas with antiheroes or procedurals heavy on atmosphere and violence rather than hero-driven stories.
"Doing a traditional cop show these days is very risky," Wolf said by phone.
Still, Wolf hopes that "Chicago P.D." will connect with viewers longing for action and drama. More significantly, he envisions the Chicago-based series as the benchmarks of a new brand that could mirror his "Law & Order" franchise, which launched in 1990.
"We're hoping that we've come up with a whole new brand," Wolf said. "The 'Law & Order' shows set in New York were all very different structurally, but they were all united by a brand. It's like Mercedes — they're all different, but you know you're going to get a good car."
In this case the brand is the Windy City, where the first responders "have truly American values," said Wolf. "No place exemplifies the strength of America like Chicago."
Though there was a connection among the various "Law & Order" series, the respective dramas had separate and distinctive identities, making it hard to do crossover episodes. But with the Chicago-based shows, characters on both can bounce back and forth: "It brings an added element to the storytelling. We have the opportunity to be a breakthrough show with this use of a common thread."
The new series is set at the Chicago Police Dept.'s District 21 and focuses on two units: the uniformed officers who patrol the beat and deal with street crimes and the intelligence unit that grapples with the city's major offenses, such as organized crime, high-profile murders and drug trafficking.
Heading the intelligence unit is Sgt. Hank Voight (Jason Beghe), who will be familiar to "Chicago Fire" fans as a corrupt cop who tried to wreck the life of firefighter Matthew Casey (Jesse Spencer) when Casey had Voight's son jailed for drunk driving. Voight was so bent on destroying Casey that he wound up in prison, but he has been released because of connections within the department.
Having such a morally and ethically challenged character at the center of a police drama may represent a first for network television, Wolf said.
Latest Entertainment
"This is Jason's year to be the most interesting character on TV. He's a good cop and a bad cop."
The new show, along with its predecessor and the still-popular "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," puts Wolf's stamp on a sizable chunk of NBC's landscape.
NBC Entertainment President Jennifer Salke called "Chicago P.D." a highlight of the network's midseason lineup.
"We're so happy with it, much in the way that we're happy with 'Chicago Fire,'" she said. "There's this high-octane drama in addition to characters that viewers can invest in right off the bat."

Finally, there's a ridiculous new mode, Planechase, a free-for-all four-person match in which an unmanned deck of cards unleashes "Planes," or random global effects that wreak havoc on the game.
That's all to the good, but it's not to say that Magic players will be leaving the card stores in droves. Planeswalkers 2013 lacks a lot of what the paper game provides. Some of this is inherent to the medium of video games—for example, the basic conversation and camaraderie that accompanies a card game goes missing when the game is online. (We nerds don't get out much, so we need all the social interaction we can get.) Also, the game is constantly pausing for a few seconds to let you look at new cards that have been played and make decisions about how to respond—which is often necessary, but also interrupts the more natural flow of the paper game.
Some of the design decisions are kind of obnoxious, though. For example, the game seems to pause more than it needs to when there's absolutely nothing you can do in response to your opponent's cards. It seems that a better system would allow the A.I. to make these moves instantaneously and simply provide you with a summary. The animations are also longer than they need to be. And despite the fact that the entire game consists of showing you simple images of cards with some text and animations, there are loading times between matches. Overall, the gameplay feels much, much slower than it needs to. With other card games (like hearts and poker), the digital world offers speedy games to make up for the lack of social interaction. Planeswalkers 2013 fails to take advantage of this possibility.
Basically, Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 does an acceptable job of bringing Magic into the world of video games and upgrading the 2012 version. However, there are enough hiccups in the implementation that most Magic fans will prefer to stick with the paper product—and those of us who no longer play Magic aren't missing anything by skipping it.

The San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office defended their decision to ask news outlets to cease tweeting at the climax of the manhunt for triple-murder suspect Christopher Dorner, saying they would do it again, in the interest of officer safety.
Christopher Lee, spokesman for the office, said he sent out the tweet after hearing that the Sheriff's Department had made the request. The Sheriff's Department does not have a Twitter account, but the DA's office does, so he wanted to help out the agency.
The tweet, which was later deleted, spurred discussion on Twitter and accusations that the agency was helping in the cover-up of police corruption. It also became the subject of a question of how Twitter and First Amendment rights fit up against an ongoing manhunt where officers had already been hurt in the line of duty.
"The fact is that officer safety was my number one priority," Lee said.
Lee said the request did not come from Cindy Bachman, or directly from the Sheriff's Department, which earlier had asked media helicopters to back off from the scene.
"Knowing that they didn't have a Twitter feed, I thought maybe that was something we could help out [on]," Lee said.

SUMMARY: Misuse and abuse of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and analgesic mefenamic acid among pregnant women in developing coutries constitute a matter of medical concern, mainly as a function of the potentially serious side effects of that drug, notably at the digestive system level. Female rats were treated during the entire pregnancy period (from day 0 up to day 20) with 5, 15, or 45 mg/kg of mefenamic acid (MA) once daily, by gavage. Controls received the drug vehicle. We observed that there was a slight yet significant impairment of maternal body weight gain of the animals treated with the two highest doses of MA. Although the drug was proven to exert deleterious effects on kidney and liver metabolic functions, no gross signs of renal or hepatic toxicity were detected in our animals and in their concepts. The digestive effects would be presumably caused by the inhibitory actions of MA on the luminal fluid movement and are accounted for by the observed body weight loss during pregnancy.
KEY WORDS: 1. Mefenamic acid; 2. Toxycology; 3. Rat; 4. Pregnancy.
As inhibitors of prostaglandin synthesis, the non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) all share the property of being good tocolytic agents (Mital et al., 1992). Notwithstanding, their use starting at the 27th week of gestation is contraindicated since they can cross the placental barrier (Mackenzie et al., 1985) and cause adverse effects on the concept. Some of them are primary lung hypertension due to the closure of ductus arteriosus (Menahem, 1991), and oligohydramnion due to the reduction of renal blood flow (Itskovitz et al., 1980). These effects can rise the incidence of perinatal morbimortality (Levin, 1980).
Fenamates constitute a group of NSAIDs to which belong compounds as mefenamic, meclofenamic and flufenamic acids. Although this group is said to have no clear advantages over several other NSAIDs (Roberts II & Morrow, 2001), in particular mefenamic acid (MA) is widely used in Brazil to relieve the pain and discomfort arising from various origins, mainly dysmenorrhea.
Since at a first sight the mechanism of the anti-inflamatory action of fenamates was essentially identical to many other NSAIDs, there would be no explanation for so many women reporting about the higher efficacy of MA to alleviate the premenstrual discomfort and pain. More recently, however, it was stated that fenamates are unique among NSAIDs in inhibiting receptors for PGE2 and PGF2a (Rainsford, 1994). This may represent a major additional site for their action on smooth muscle contractility which is perhaps important in the actions of fenamates in treating primary dysmenorrhea. Besides this, mefenamic acid is the only fenamate to display a central as well as a peripheral analgesic action (Roberts II & Morrow).
In view of its serious side effects, including potentially severe diarrhea associated with steatorrhea and inflammation of the bowel, besides hemolytic anemia, MA is not recommended during pregnancy. Notwithstanding, due to the over-the-counter availability of MA in many developing countries, its use to relieve discomfort and pain of undefinite origin during gestation is a generalized practice.
In an attempt to better understanding fenamate actions on gestation, in this paper we examined the effects of MA administered in a high dosage regimen during the entire period of rat pregnancy.
Female adult virgin, EPM-1 Wistar rats weighing ca. 200 g, under routine laboratory care, were mated in the proportion of 2 females for every male during 2 h. Pregnancy was verified according to Hamilton & Wolfe (1938) and the finding of spermatozoa in vagina was considered the day zero of pregnancy. Forty pregnant rats were then randomly divided into 4 groups and treated from the 1st up to the 20th day of gestation as follows. C, control group, treated with drug vehicle (21% ethyl alcohol in deionized water containing 1% glycerin, 0.01% Tween® 80 and 0.1% Nipagin M); MA5, MA15 and MA45, groups of animals treated respectively with 5, 15 or 45 mg/kg b.w. of mefenamic acid (Aché Labs.). Drugs and drug vehicle (1 ml/rat) were given once a day at 08:00 h by gavage. Treatments started at the day 0 of pregnancy and extended until the 20th day of gestation. Body weight gain was monitored by weighing the animals at days 0, 7th, 10th and 20th of pregnancy.
At term (20th day) the animals were sacrificed by deep ether anesthesia. Upon laparotomy and uterine horns opening, the sites of implantations and reabsorptions were recorded; the living foetuses and their placentae were carefully removed, loosely passed onto filter paper to remove excess liquid and weighed to the nearest of 0.1 mg. The foetuses were examined for major malformations under a stereo microscope.
Data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance and the Kruskal-Wallis' or Scheffé's multiple comparisons tests (Sokal & Rohlf, 1969). Whenever appropriate, Friedman's analysis of variance was also used (Siegel, 1975). A 2.01 version GraphPad InStatÔ software was employed for calculations.
Figure 1 shows the linear regressions of body weight increase of pregnant rats throughout the experimental period. Similarly to what occurs in normal rats, it should be noticed that all groups reached their fastest weight gain in the last third of the pregnancy. On the other hand, the groups treated with the higher doses of MA (15 and 45 mg/kg per day) had lower curve slopes than did the controls and the MA 5 group.
|Fig. 1. Body weight gain of pregnant rats treated with mefenamic acid (MA). Equations and r2 values of the regression lines are as follows. Control: y = 5.16x + 198.55 (r2 = 0.9211); MA 5 mg/kg: y = 4.93x + 200.61 (r2 = 0.9486); MA 15 mg/kg: y = 3.66x + 196.89 (r2 =0.9047); MA 45 mg/kg: y = 3.43x + 192.88 (r2 = 0.8649). Only the angular coefficients of MA15 and MA45 were significantly lower (P<0.05) than those for the other two groups. Data are mean ± SEM from 10 animals per group.
Mefenamic acid shares with several other (but not all) non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs like acetylsalicylic acid, indomethacin and ketoprofen, the ability of directly and dose-dependently scavenging generated nitric oxide radicals (Asanuma et al., 2001). Even though this activity may be viewed as desirable as a means of preventing free radicals-reduction of cell viability and apoptotic nuclear changes mainly in neuronal cells, on the other hand excessive scavenging could lead to inhibition of some physiological effects triggered by inducible nitric oxide synthase activation. This dual effect of MA may help to explain our results with the MA15 and MA45 groups.
In addition, the powerful inhibiting activity of human liver phenol sulfotransferases by non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs deserves mention. It was observed (Vietri et al., 2000) that mefenamic acid, when administered at therapeutic doses, should impair the hepatic sulfation of those compounds that are substrates of phenol sulfotransferase, with a potency which is 270 fold higher than nimesulide, 475 fold higher than diclofenac and about 8,000 fold higher than ibuprofen. In addition, adult and foetal liver sulfotransferases exhibit different inhibition profiles under the influence of mefenamic acid. Not only foetal enzymes were more suscetible than the adult ones to inhibition by MA, but also this drug behaved as a more potent inhibitor than aspirin on human enzymes (Vietri et al., 2001). On the overall, part of the reduction of body weight gain of rat pregnancy disclosed by the groups MA15 and MA45 would well be attributable to some hepatic toxicity of mefenamic acid.
Another deleterious metabolic action of mefenamic acid which could contribute to the effects observed herein is its ability to uncoupling of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (Masubuchi et al., 2000). Although this effect has been clearly demonstrated in hepatocytes, it conceivably could be considered a general phenomenon leading to more or less significant decreases in cellular ATP contents and the consequent effects thereof will vary depending on the particular cell type or tissue involved.
Although the actions of MA mentioned above could be relevant to the observed maternal impairment of weight gain during pregnancy, its effects on digestive functions are
presumably the most serious in this context. In fact, not only clinical (Isaacs et al., 1987; Tanner & Raghunath, 1988) but also experimental observations (Gullikson et al., 1982) call attention for the potential of MA to causing a coeliac disease-like colonic inflammation. The ability of this agent to produce a laxative response and consequent body weight loss relates to its dose-dependent inhibition of fluid transport outside intestinal lumen.
MA given to rats during short periods (two 3-day periods with an intermediate wash-out period of 4 days) had definite nephrotoxicity manifested as a widespread papillary necrosis (Nguyen et al., 2001). However, especially for renal effects, doses well above those used herein were needed. Being so, no significantly increased mortality or other clinically relevant signs due to nephrotoxicity to MA was to be expected in our rats.
With respect to the gestation products, we observed (Table I) that the treatment with MA did not significantly affect the wet weight of placentae and foetuses. Also, no differences were seen among the groups in relation to the number of implantations, of placentae or of foetuses at term. Similarly, there were no deaths in utero or shortly after uterine opening.
It has been reported that some NSAIDs exhibit a selective inhibitory action on the isoform 2 of cyclooxygenase (COX-2), in contraposition to other drugs which are COX-1 selective or essentially nonselective at all. In fact, COX inhibition by most nonsteroidal antiinflammatory agents conforms to a two-step binding mechanism (Rome & Lands, 1975), of which the first one represents a competitive enzyme inhibition, and the second one involves an alteration of the enzyme-inhibitor complex, probably due to some protein conformational change. This last step is time-dependent (it takes seconds to minutes to occur) and whereas all of the selective COX-2 blocking agents inhibit COX1 and COX2 competitively, they are time-dependent against only COX-2 (that is to say, COX-2 selectivity is a function of the second, time-dependent step) (Copeland et al., 1994).
Such a complex kinetic mechanism of inhibition has made it difficult to compare COX selectivity ratios among nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs. According to this approach, mefenamic acid is no longer viewed as a selective COX-2 antagonist (Cryer & Feldman, 1998), but instead as a purely competitive inhibitor of COX-1 and COX-2 (Marnett & Kalgutkar, 1999).
No matter the precise COX isoform is preferentially inhibited, mefenamic acid can cause a highly significant reduction of prostaglandins synthesis. Although our MA-treated pregnant rats presumably had important reductions of compounds derived from COX-1 and COX-2 activation, no apparent significantly deleterious effects other than those on mother weights were detected. Notwithstanding, clinically unsuspected, yet definite effects could be exerted mainly on renal and hepatic compartments, in mothers and/or their concepts, as been recently proven to occur with acetylsalicylic acid (Espiridião et al., 2001), and remain to be investigated.
RESUMEN: En los países del tercer mundo, el uso indiscriminado durante el embarazo del fármaco antiinflamatorio no-esteroide, ácido mefenámico, es un tema de preocupación, fundamentalmente, porque este fármaco posee efectos colaterales potencialmente graves, principalmente, a nivel del aparato digestivo. En este trabajo, ratas hembras fueron tratadas durante toda la preñez (desde el día 0 hasta el día 20 de la gestación) con 5, 15 o 45 mg/kg de ácido mefenámico (AM), una vez al día. Los controles recibieron el vehículo de la droga.
Se observó una discreta, aunque significativa, disminución del ritmo de aumento del peso de las madres tratadas con las dos dosis más altas (15 y 45 mg/kg AM). Si bien hay relatos de que el fármaco puede producir efectos adversos importantes sobre funciones metabólicas hepáticas y renales, no hemos observado señales de toxicidad sobre el hígado o los riñones, tanto de las madres como de sus crías. Los efectos digestivos del AM son inhibición del movimiento del fluído luminal para fuera de la luz del tubo digestivo y por ende, aumento del tránsito intestinal, lo que podría responder por la pérdida de peso corporal materno observada, principalmente, durante el último tercio de la preñez.

Al Can Definitely Hang but . . . Derek and Lewey Can't!!!!
The Boathouse: Saturday, September 25th
Friday night I was entertaining some friends from out of town. I had plans to hang out with them on Friday and then again on Sunday for a BBQ. They're moving to Texas so I had to miss the Borgata trip with Paul and Al Can't Hang. After a night of partying with some friends, I woke up the next morning on Saturday and decided to hop on the train to Philly. I didn't want to miss the big party Al was throwing plus it was a chance to meet him, his wife, his friends and a few other bloggers. I missed the earlier train leaving Penn Station so I didn't get to Philly until after 2pm. The ticket cost $50. The train had problems which sucked but it was worth the wait. As soon as I arrived in Philly I saw Paul, Mrs. Can't Hang, and Boy Genius. They were waiting awhile and looked ready to party. We drove to the Boathouse to meet up with Al and his friends Big Mike and Lewey. A few mintues after I walked into the bar, Big Mike handed me a double shot of Jack. I drank it and turned around to watch the football game and Al brought me a plate of hot wings. Al was a great host. He was fun to party with. Anyone who offers you booze and food a few minutes after meeting them is cool as shit.
We started up a poker game less than a half hour after BG and I arrived. I had heard many stories about Lewey and his "loose" poker play. I've been told that the WPT should put him at every final table that Phil Hellmuth plays at. Bad beats galore. Paul said Lewey's favorite hand was 46o. Al and Paul have both told me of the bad beats Lewey puts on people. His reputation as a poker player definitely preceeded him. Lewey can send anyone on tilt. I planned on playing it tight in hopes of busting Lewey with a monster hand. I got nothing for the longest time. Everyone was harassing me for not seeing any flops especially with Lewey playing his J little offsuits like they were a high pocket pair. After a few hands were played, Al told me that MNorce was his friend Big Mike. I laughed because he was a pretty cool guy but he was the one who bad beated me in Iggy's tourney. Al said he was waiting for me to come down to tell me. Pretty funny. As soon as Al told me, Landow called and asked if I knew yet. Al, Big Mike, and Lewey were pounding SoCo shots, beers, and car bombs all day. I threw down a bunch of shots of Jack and SoCo along with some beers but nowhere near the amount those guys did. I used to drink like that 10 years ago and they're older than me. I was impressed with their stamina . . . even Lewey.
Landow showed up a little later. BG went all in a bunch of times when he was short stacked. Paul bluffed Al out of a pot. Al laid down a set of K's. Big Mike was not a fan of limpers. He kept raising preflop. Of course, Lewey was a fan of any two cards. He busted out quit a few times during the session. He was down over $200 at one point. He won a big pot at the end of the night when he caught a straight against Paul and won some of his money back. That was right before he knocked over a beer onto the table.
At one point earlier in the evening, he had Paul all in on the flop and in very bad shape. I was dealing too. Lewey had J7 and Paul called with A10. The flop was J-7-5. The turn card was a 5. Paul had outs but no one really noticed. I spiked an A on the river and the table exploded. I had a blast playing with the guys. Lewey was pretty drunk and loud by the time the game broke up. I'm sure everyone knows that by now!!
I won a big hand against Paul in the middle of the session. Big Mike kept raising my blinds so I finally decided to call it and see a flop. I had 25o. Pretty horrible hand! The flop came down A-3-4. I flopped the wheel. Paul and Big Mike were the only ones in the pot with me. Paul had A4s. Big Mike and I checked on the flop. Paul bet his two pair and I re-raised him all-in. There were two suited cards on the board and I didn't want anyone hitting a flush. I knew everyone was making fun of me for playing tight so no one was going to put me on 25o. Paul called and I flipped over my crap and doubled up. Nice!
The game broke up and it was time to join the party. There were some very good bands at the Boathouse. We actually played a few hands of poker with one of the band's bass players. His name was JDubbs. Everyone was getting hammered and Al brought me and Paul some burgers in the middle of this party. I chowed down and had a few more drinks. I was pretty hammered by now and tired as well. I'd been up since 6am and was starting to feel the effects of trying to party with Al and his friends. Lewey was still pretty loud and belligerent by this point. It was still very early (11pm) but I'd been drinking since I arrived. Landow decided to drive Lewey back home since he was wasted. Landow said that Lewey's never been this wasted before. As Lewey was being escorted to Landow's car, he decided to run away. He took off and went down this steep hill behind the Boathouse. The grass was pretty wet but Lewey made it all the way down without falling until his feet touched the asphalt. He slid and fell pretty hard onto the pavement. We all followed him down and Landow pulled his car over to where Lewey was lying. He was pretty banged up but Al declared Lewey free of any broken bones. Lewey had been anouncing all night that he was bleeding at the poker table. BG even tried to swipe his ATM card in Lewey's mouth. Well . . . . Lewey was bleeding for sure now. He cut himself up a little.
Landow needed to walk his dog so he drove Lewey home since they live in the same housing complex. Paul and I went along for the ride. When Landow was taking Lewey back to his own house, Lewey decided to do his best James Caan impression. In the Godfather, Sonny Corlene broke some reporter's camera and dropped some cash on the floor to pay for breaking it. Just like in the movie, Lewey threw some of his money onto Landow's car seat to pay for the damage!! His damage. I started laughing so hard that I got a little sick and puked all over the lawn. I puked out that burger and fries Al got me. Ouch! It tasted much better going down than up. Shortly after that, I was put to bed. I was hurting. I was a little bummed that I didn't get to hang out a little longer with Al, BG, Mrs. Hang, and everyone else. I guess I can't hang. Right before Landow dropped me off at the hotel, I noticed there was some blood inside Landow's car door . . . Lewey's a bleeder!!
I had a blast at the Boathouse Party. There was a lot of SoCo at the party and Al drank most of it. He's a warrior! One of the funnier moments during the party was when one of Al's friends starting bitching about the guy she brought to the party. This guy kept buying drinks and food and charging it to her. What class!! Wow . . . what a Saturday night! Carter from Cuban Links showed up to the party too. He was pretty cool too. I heard he passed out cold on one of the outdoor benches later that night. Al has some pictures of it. Paul has a pretty funny one too!
Thanks Al Can't Hang, thanks Mrs. Can't Hang and thanks to everyone I met and partied with that weekend, I had a lot of fun. I can't wait to go to Vegas in December. I'm going with Paul. Boy Genius will be there at the same time too with his brother, Bob. I'm hoping others will decide to go too. It will be fun!! How can it not be?? It's Las Vegas in December. What better place to be? We're going to hit the Sport book on Sunday to gamble on football and then play poker the rest of the time there.
So I'm really glad I had Saturday free and got to make this trip. I paid $50 to get to Philly and I won about the same amount in the poker game. Just like Bo Didley says in Trading Places, "In Philadelphia . . . it costs 50 bucks." This time . . . it was worth every penny!

Dear Hollywood:
You know, it's ok if you hire average-looking actors and have costumes which aren't skin-tight.
Remember the first Alien film?
Trust me on this.

This gives me a warm tingly feeling inside...high hopes for this film..and as a reminder...Sigourney was pretty hot in the last scene of ALIEN when she stripped out of her clothes to battle the alien on the shuttle...here's hoping Ridley got this one right also!

Most sequels/prequels typically suck to begin with, but you gauge the level of suckiness by how much they pretty up the cast.
If, as you point out here, they have to have hot female and male actors in skin tight costumes, then you know the storyline is DOA and they're going to try and bring in the 13-16 yr old crowd with eye candy.
The other is bringing in the Marines. I love me some leathernecks, but as soon as they trot them out in a film -- ahem, Aliens [2] -- you know the plot is going to be lame.
I'm already writing this one off.

Just playing Devil's Advocate here: Think of the crew of the Nostromo as low-rung, high-school educated, blue-collar working drones and having to get by on clunky, out-of-date equipment and hand-me-down spacesuits. But the crew of Prometheus are the highly trained, highly educated and recruited scientists that represent The Company's brightest. Therefore, THEY get the top-of-the-line equipment and spacesuits etc. ;-)

Platinum sponsor Pearson VUE to educate and inspire at testing industry's biggest innovation event
BLOOMINGTON, MN – What is the true essence of testing innovation? How can measurement effectively identify exam fraud? These and other big questions will be answered by Pearson VUE, platinum sponsor at the upcoming 2013 Association of Test Publisher's Innovations in Testing Conference.
Taking place this year from February 3-6th in Hollywood, FL, the Innovations in Testing Conference fosters innovation by showcasing the latest technologies and providing numerous networking opportunities for a diverse group of testing professionals.
At the industry's annual flagship event for innovations in testing, attendees will learn how to enhance the test development, delivery, and promotion of their testing program. Pearson VUE, the computer-based testing (CBT) business of Pearson, will present on a wide range of topics designed to help test owners apply new innovations and best practices to their testing programs. Pearson VUE industry experts, partners and clients will be presenting at sessions such as Analysis and Scoring of Innovative Items and Remote-Proctored Online Assessment: Miracle or Mirage? Additionally, in its platinum sponsor session, members of Pearson VUE's Product Strategy team will challenge, educate and inspire when they discuss how to make innovation a reality within your organization.
Don Wagner, Senior Vice President of Business Development at Pearson VUE, will be joined by representatives from the educational, certification, and international markets for the conference's closing panel session. Together, they will consider the most critical challenges within the testing community, the technologies and innovations set to make the biggest impact, and the market forces that will reshape our current practices.
"The testing industry continues to change at a rapid pace, as test sponsors look for more advanced and enhanced capabilities to manage, secure, and grow their programs, said Robert Whelan, president and chief executive officer of Pearson VUE. "It is for this reason, and the fact we can learn how to better meet the needs of our colleagues from around the globe, that the Innovations in Testing Conference is so important to us. Since its formation, Innovations in Testing has enabled the widespread sharing of experiences, best practices and innovations. It remains a key date for assessment professionals worldwide and is always a highlight on our calendar."
Pearson VUE's experts will also be on hand to discuss the company's role as part of a wider credentialing family. Attendees can find out about its recent acquisition of Certiport, as well as its joint venture with ACE to revamp the GED Test and transition it to CBT.

In a note to clients this morning, JPMorgan's chief U.S. equity strategist Tom Lee jacks up his year-end S&P 500 price target to 1775 from 1715.
The new forecast makes Lee the most bullish equity strategist on the Street.
Lee attributes much of the decision to better-than-expected economic data out of the euro area.
"With both U.S. and Europe expected to see better growth in [the second half of 2013], we believe the Street will be in a position to raise 2014E EPS," says Lee. "We are raising 2014E EPS to $120 (vs $117) and also raising our YE 2013E S&P 500 Target to 1775 (up 3.5% vs prior 1715)."
The JPMorgan strategist outlines four reasons for the upgrade:
– What is the surprise? Better Europe and eventually EM. Naturally, the question is what will "surprise" the market to drive increased EPS and P/E multiples. In our view, this is driven by improving economic momentum broadly and captured well by the eco surprise indices. As shown in Figure 7, economic surprises have improved sharply for Europe (CESIEUR) and US (CESIUSD) and given the historical GDP beta, should lift Emerging markets as well.
– There is pent-up demand in U.S. and to an extent in Europe. As for the U.S. and to a lesser extent for Europe, this is more than "easing financial conditions" but a story of pent-up demand. As shown in Figure 8, investment/durables spending in the U.S. remains at 60-year lows. And at time when the age of capital-stock is near record highs (see Figure 9/Figure 10). This is a formula, in our view, for obsolescence asserting itself in the form of an eventual sharp rise in spending.
– Corporate bonds have recovered over 60% of the recent sell-off, supportive of risky assets. Corporate bonds—both high-grade (J.P. Morgan's JULI Index) and high-yield (CSSWHYI Index) exhibited instability (somewhat surprising) in May following the rise in 10-year yields (see Figure 11/Figure 12). Fortunately, much of the dislocation has been retraced. IG spreads have recovered 76% of the widening back to 158bp and, similarly, high-yield spreads have since recovered to 506bp STW, or about 60% of the widening. The point of this is that the tightening of spreads is a positive signal for both risky market "depth" and "liquidity" which are positive for equity relative value.
– Equities need to re-rate higher vs corporate bonds—16X? Yes. As we have stated for some time, the equity P/E should be seen via the lens of corporate bond yields (invert a bond yield to derive its P/E). Corporates are payer of both bonds and equities, and as equity earnings (EPS) grow over time (with nominal GDP at least, while coupons are fixed), equity P/E should be higher. Since 1950, equity P/E has been consistently and logically higher than investment-grade P/E. Since 2009, however, as shown in Figure 13, the S&P 500 P/E has been stable at around 13X- 14X for the past 3 years and trades at a steep discount to both investment grade bonds (25X) and to HY (16.2X). At a minimum, we see the equity P/E converging with HY, driven by higher equity P/Es.
What could go wrong? Lee identifies further deceleration in Chinese economic growth and concerns regarding tapering back of Federal Reserve bond purchases as the two main risks to his target.
"Recent data from China is disappointing (IP, GDP) and despite tempered expectations, the government is likely to exercise patience (vs stimulate)," says Lee. "The risk, therefore, is a faster deceleration in GDP growth, something not expected. As for the Fed, the primary concern is how equity markets will hand the start of tapering (rising rates, loss of visibility)."

Canines join the UC Davis cancer team
Research to focus on stress levels of patients, families and dogs
Four-year-old Zoey Vega was scared when she started chemotherapy last month for kidney cancer. But two Thursday visits with a furry friend seem to have eased her fears."She tells everyone she has a dog named Angus," says Corina Vasquez, Zoey's mom. "She talks about him all the time. The dog takes her mind off chemo."
Zoey is among a select group of young patients at the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center who is part of a novel study examining the effects of animal-assisted therapy on patients, their families and the therapy dogs themselves.
UC Davis is one of five children's hospitals in the U.S., and the only in California, participating in the 12-month clinical trial, pioneered by Zoetis Inc., an animal pharmaceutical company, and the American Humane Association (AHA).
Animals have long been known to play a vital role in promoting the health and well-being of human beings, says pediatric hematologist and oncologist Anjali Pawar, the cancer center's principal investigator on the study. It's unclear, however, if animal-assisted therapy can help reduce stress for children and their families during the childhood cancer experience — or how that therapy affects the animal itself. The UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center aims to find out through the Canines and Childhood Cancer Study.
"The dog takes her mind off chemo."
— Corina Vasquez, Zoey's mom
"We are hoping to show that animal therapy helps reduce stress in children and their parents, while inflicting minimal distress on the dogs," says Sandra Maline, a pediatric social worker who is coordinating the research. "This is also the first study of its kind to look at the cost to the animal."
The research focuses on newly diagnosed children ages 3-12 who receive regular chemotherapy at the pediatric outpatient infusion center. All study participants are tested for stress before and after their clinic visit. Children randomized to the study group spend time with a therapy dog once a week in the outpatient clinic over the course of four months. Children in the control group who do not get visits from the dogs during their appointments also are tested for stress levels using a standardized questionnaire and a vital signs check.
To gauge stress in the dogs, researchers collect saliva samples and test them for cortisol, a stress hormone. Parents' stress levels also are evaluated. All patient encounters are videotaped, and videos are reviewed to see if the dog's behavior indicates stress.
Zoey's smile suggests the visits with Angus are having a beneficial effect – at least on her daughter, says her mom.
"Oh, she loves the dog," she says. "Now, she gets excited about Thursdays."

Caution: Angry Butch Alert
As a queer woman who has lived on this planet for, oh, say, longer than five minutes, I'm no longer surprised when some aspect of queer culture or non-white culture or poor culture or women's culture is co-opted by media conglomerates or straight people or white men. Women are told their place is in the kitchen, but men dominate the world of celebrity chefs. Gay culture is known for its dance parties, but it's Madonna who is most famous for voguing. The examples are endless.
As a queer woman, there was always one thing that I could own that I was certain no one would ever steal from me. Something that was so worthless to the rest of the world, I was positive the media empires would stay far, far away. That thing was "butch." Butch as a concept is different things to different people. For instance, I have never followed strict codes of butch and femme or set rules for myself or others. For me, the power of butch was in its opposition to societal rules. In our backlash-filled times, the masculine woman is reviled. The woman with no interest in men is ignored. The woman who doesn't cater to the male gaze, doesn't stick to her assigned side of the gender binary, and doesn't behave like a lady - that woman is garbage. And there's power in that. There's power in being outside of society. I reveled in my magical land of Gina Gershon movies, lesbian separatist road trips, and dykes on bikes.
But today, the world has tried to take this from me. Today, the world has introduced… butch furniture.
Butch furniture, you ask? Yes, says the New York Times. Butch furniture is when you sell a rusty metal cabinet for $13,500 or screw together some rough wood planks for $10,000. Butch furniture is made by men for rich people.
At first I thought they were just using the word "butch" innocently. Like, maybe after last week's Men's Fashion issue blew through five gajillion iterations of the word "masculine," the editor picked up a thesaurus, saw "butch," and went with that.
But no, they are using butch in the queer sense. Except there isn't a lesbian or even a woman in sight. The article even goes so far as to quote someone as saying "One man's butch is another man's femme" [emphasis mine]. The author then sets the "butch" furniture in opposition to "sissy" furniture, with absolutely no understanding of the hateful, homophobic history of the word "sissy."
Finally, and most enragingly, the author goes on to quote Judith "Jack" Halberstam as saying "It's an old term, but it's still brimming with meaning. Today, I would define it as a counter-gender identity." Clearly failing to learn anything from that statement, the author ends the article with this:
Mr. Moss [gallery owner] would agree. "I thought about this a lot," he said. "I used the term 'butch,' versus 'masculine' or 'tough' or 'manly,' because what I mean by this is work that is stereotypically considered manly, but expressed by a personality that is stereotypically considered sensitive or feminine." In other words, an artist.
But only, of course, if you're a man.

NC health officials: Get flu shots during holidays
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — With flu activity higher than normal in North Carolina for this time of year, state health officials are urging residents to take time during the holidays to get vaccinated.
State Health Director Laura Gerald says holiday travel and visits with family may provide more opportunities for cold and flu germs to spread. Gerald says getting vaccinated reduces the chance of getting the seasonal flu and reduces the chance of spreading it to friends and family.
The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services says health care providers are seeing an increase in flu-like illnesses.
The flu vaccine is recommended for anyone over 6 months old. It's considered particularly important for people at high risk of complications, including pregnant women, people with chronic diseases, very young children and the elderly.

How to Survive a Plague
Academy Award® Nominee
In the dark days of 1987, the country was six years into the AIDS epidemic, a crisis that was still largely being ignored both by government officials and health organizations -until the sudden emergence of the activist group ACT UP in Greenwich Village, largely made up of HIV-positive participants who refused to die without a fight.
Emboldened by the power of rebellion, they took on the challenges that public officials had ignored, raising awareness of the disease through a series of dramatic protests. More remarkably, they became recognized experts in virology, biology, and pharmaceutical chemistry.
Their efforts would see them seize the reins of federal policy from the FDA and NIH, force the AIDS conversation into the 1992 presidential election, and guide the way to the discovery of effective AIDS drugs that stopped an HIV diagnosis from being an automatic death sentence - and allowed them to live long lives.
Starring Peter Staley, Garance Franke-Ruta, Mark Harrington, Spencer Cox, Larry Kramer

Adam Levine may have a serious bromance going on with fellow coach Blake Shelton on "The Voice," but when it comes to the competition in season five, Levine has enlisted another musical man to try and get the win this year.
We can reveal that Adam Levine has chosen OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder as his team's advisor during the Battle Rounds on this upcoming season of "The Voice." For those of you not versed in the flow of the NBC singing competition, the Battle Rounds puts singers head to head in a cage-match fight to the death! Except, there is no death involved, it's just an elimination. So, let's call it a career death.
READ: Oh, Snap: Emmys shut out "American Idol" and "X Factor" in favor of "The Voice"
U.S. & World
Tedder is not only the front man for OneRepublic--a band that has put out such hits as "Apologize" and "Secrets," but the 34-year-old songwriter has worked with powerhouse artists like Demi Lovato, Adele, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce...the list goes on and on. That's not just a figure of speech; the list of people he's written and produced songs for is staggering.
Levine recently spoke in defense of "The Voice" when some critics (and "American Idol" producers) pointed out that the NBC series has yet to produce a "superstar."
VIDEO: Check out the engagement ring Adam gave to his fiance Behati Prinsloo
"We totally understand because of the comparisons that might exist out there, why it might seem to be a failure on the show's part," the Maroon 5 star said during the Summer TCA press tour. "The immediacy of winning and becoming a huge star is a fairytale that we would love to see take place, but it's still a fairytale."
Levine and Co. ended up with the last laugh, because the Emmys shut out both "American Idol" and the "X Factor" in favor of "The Voice" in the Outstanding Reality-Competition Program category.
"The Voice's" fifth season premieres Sept. 23 on NBC, and the Battle Rounds will air Oct. 14 and 15.
(E! and The Voice are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)
