I. 2012 production, Phillies shortstops (NL rank out of 16 teams in parentheses)
BREAKDOWN: Evaluating Rollins is always a complicated task because of the varying perceptions that surround him. He has never reached base as often as an ideal leadoff hitter, and his contact numbers are not what they were during his prime (his 96 strikeouts this season were the most since he 24 years old). And Charlie Manuel expressed dissatisfaction with his hustle on the base paths on a couple of occasions this season, which has been an issue at various points in Rollins' career. That being said, his .250/.316/.427 line in 2012 was actually fairly close to the National League average for the leadoff spot (.257/.319/.382). He also hit 23 home runs and converted 30-of-35 stolen base attempts. And he continues to provide excellent defense. While there is certainly an argument to be made that Rollins is better suited to hit fifth, sixth or seventh now that power has become the most attractive part of his game, there is no question that he is still an above average offensive shortstop (more on that below). And his defense remains strong, although quantifying just how strong is difficult given the uncertainty of current advanced metrics
II. Future salary commitments (luxury tax threshold $178 million in 2013, increases to $189 million in 2014)
2012: 11.0 million, 5.34 percent of luxury tax threshold (Jimmy Rollins, 34 years old)
2013: 11.0 million, 5.34 percent of luxury tax threshold (Jimmy Rollins, 35 years old)
2014: 11.0 million, 5.03 percent of luxury tax threshold (Jimmy Rollins, 36 years old)
2015: 5.0 million, 5.03 percent of luxury tax threshold (Jimmy Rollins, 37 years old)
FLEXIBILITY: Rollins name started popping up in rumors a week or so before the trade deadline, which gave the impression that the Phillies were gauging interest in him. Maybe they would be open to trading the veteran just one year after signing him to a guaranteed $38 million over three years, but Rollins has 10-and-5 rights, which means he to can veto any trade and opt to remain with the Phillies if that is his preference. Whatever the case, it is really hard to see them trading Rollins and making their infield weaker when they already have a void at third base and Chase Utley's knees to worry about at second.
III. 2013 Organizational Depth Chart
- Jimmy Rollins, 34, $9.5 million average annual value through 2015
- Freddy Galvis, 23, pre-Arb (1.000 service time) under club control through at least 2017.
- Roman Quinn, 19, short-season Class A Williamsport
BREAKDOWN: The Phillies love Galvis' glove and would slide him to shortstop if Rollins ever were to miss an extended stretch of time. Quinn, a highly regarded switch-hitting prospect who was drafted in the second round in 2011, showed plenty of promise in his first full season in the minor leagues, hitting .281/.370/.408 at short-season Williamsport with one home run, 30-of-36 steals, and 61 strikeouts in 267 at-bats. But he is several years away from even being in the conversation about the immediate future.
IV. Potential for personnel upgrades
TRADE POTENTIAL: The Phillies simply aren't going to find a shortstop who can match Rollins' production. Only seven players at the position finished 2012 with a higher OPS (min. 200 PA): Troy Tulowitzki (.846), Ian Desmond (.845), Jose Reyes (.780), Josh Rutledge (.775), Jed Lowrie (.769), Hanley Ramirez (.759) and Starlin Castro (.753). The Phillies could theoretically attempt to make a play for Lowrie with the Astros, who always seem willing to listen on players, and put him at 3B. But a deal for a shortstop who would replace either Rollins or Galvis is highly unlikely.
FREE AGENT MARKET: Again, in the unlikely scenario that the Phillies trade Rollins, they won't be going outside the organization to replace him. Assuming the Tigers pick up Jhonny Peralta's $6 million option, the available free agents are a collection of light-hitting veterans: Jason Bartlett (33), Ronny Cedeno (30), Stephen Drew (30), Alex Gonzalez (35), Yuniesky Betancourt (31) and utility men: Cesar Izturis (33), Brian Bixler (30). Only Marco Scutaro is the only real bat available at the position, and he is 37 years old and a question mark as an everyday player.
V. In conclusion: shortstop.
Pretty self-explanatory here. Expect Rollins here for at least the next couple of seasons.

soloxine side effects?
Has anyone ever heard of any side effects associated with soloxine? Kodi (10-yr old male altered golden retriever) is taking .6 mg twice a day, and has been for the last 8 months or so. His thyroid levels are now completely normal, but he has been doing some weird things (just posted something recently about his latest bout with the runs, which has been remedied). He seems to have a really dry mouth sometimes because he licks his chops -- almost as if he's having a hard time swallowing. He also will vomit every once in a while, where he'll go out, eat some grass then vomit the tiniest bit of a bile-like substance. Then he'll be fine. I do have a call into the vet, but was wondering if anyone out there has any experience giving soloxine to their dogs. He also seems to get hot a lot, and I say this because he has taken to lying down on our tiles every chance he can get (never used to do this -- his requisite spot used to be right in between the couch and the coffee table under our feet).
FYI, he just had a complete blood workup as well as xrays, and everything looks great. And his appetite is better than ever, and his weight has been steady (after losing about 5 pounds, probably due to the regulation of his thyroid levels). Thanks!
This link is the complete information on Soloxine. It lists everything about the drug as it is the package insert for the drug.
Perhaps something in there will help you.
I'm glad Kodi is improving greatly. I'm sure a lot of it has to do with how conscientous you are about him and his health. It's really refreshing to see.
"For every animal that dies in a shelter, there is someone somewhere responsible for its death".
Maybe since he has become regulated you are seeing the true dog?
Dry mouth & constant licking are a sign of nausea. When did you have the last check done? Was it before the latest symptoms? Something else could be bugging him right now.

weimeraner licking his chops too
my 7 yr old weimeraner is having the same problem. He was put on soltolol for a heart problem 3-4 months ago which seems to be when the crazy chop licking started. I also thought it might be a side effect of the meds- my vet says no -but ran a thyroid test on him???????????? He said it was probably anxiety- except I notice it most when he is snuggled up in a nice warm bed between me and my husband. Doesn't seem like an anxious time to me. Does anyone else have any thoughts?
soloxine side affects
My golden retriever has been on soloxine for 5 years now. I noticed a white spot on his right eye. My Vet told me it is lipid deposit caused by the soloxine....
It can depend on a variety of variables- what other meds he is on, how severe the problem and so forth. Too much of the med can cause thyrotoxicosis which may include increased thirst, urination and hunger, hyperactivity, personality change, and reduced heat tolerance.
Dogs with Addison's Disease or high BP, never use with warfarin, theophylline, digoxin, phenytoin and barbiturates. The levels of these meds will be deceased. And always make sure it is given 4 hrs after vitamins, esp Fe (iron) or Ca.
It is essentially the same med human take and the dog shd be monitored with blood work to make sure all is well.
Good luck!
"There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats" Albert Schweitzer
WOW a lot of soloxine questions! Hopefully I can help clarify some of the questions.
The thyroid gland is responsible for metabolism. In simple terms, a lot of thyroid hormone leads to fast metabolism and very little of the hormone leads to slow metabolism. People will get both extremes of thyroid disease: too much thyroid (Hyperthyroidism) and too little thyroid (Hypothyroidism). Cats will almost exclusively get Hyperthyroidism and dogs will get almost exclusively Hypothyroidism.
Hypothyroidism has a lot of secondary changes to the body but luckily does not come with the serious life threatening problems of hyperthyroidism. One of these changes is increased lipidemia (increased blood fats, cholesterol and triglycerides). This can lead to lipid corneal deposits. Another eye problem associated with hypothyroidism is dry eye (KCS). In general, it is accepted that thyroid supplementation (soloxine) will lead to improved ocular health. So with the last question - maybe ask your vet but there may have been a miscommunication - hypothyroidism is more apt to cause lipid deposits that soloxine.
So lets back up a bit. How do we treat hypothyroidism? This is a lot easier than hyperthyroidism. When the body does not make enough thyroid hormone, what do we do? We just supplement it. The medication is levothyroxine. The brand name is Soloxine, all others are generic brands such as Thyrozine, Thyrosyn, etc... Is brand name important? The answer is sometimes but we can talk about that later if people are interested.
The great things about thyroid supplement - 1) works well, 2) usually low side effects, 3) inexpensive and 4) often chewable. The wonderful things about dogs and thyroid supplement is the canine's ability to shed any excess thyroid supplement into the urine. It is difficult to overdose and cause problems with this medication. (Side story: I inherited a case who was on over 10 times a dose twice daily for 6 months - I was so scared for the dog, I immediately referred the dog to the specialists to look for potential damage! the specialists had never seen a case like that and were interested to see what could be wrong. Especially with cats - the main side effect is high blood pressure which will damage the retinas (not the corneas), the kidneys and heart. Ophthalmologist evaluation of the eye - no problems. Ultrasound of the kidneys and heart - no problems. Blood work - no problems. Blood pressure - no problems. Dog was as normal as could be. )
With that said, I have had many client that do notice some behavioral changes. With increased metabolism, the brain seems to race a bit faster as well. My belief is that many of the signs would have been there if the dog only had a 'normal thyroid' but the low thyroid can 'numb' a lot of behaviors. On the other side, remember we are supplementing a hormone that should already be in the system. Hormones are powerful things and the body usually is secreting small amounts on a minute by minute, in fact second by second dosing. We on the other hand supplement it once or twice a day! When we take blood samples, the thyroid supplement after being given, peaks in the blood and then slowly decreases. During this peak, it would make sense that some additional behaviors may be seen as they may have a slight 'rush' - similar to an energy drink effect. (in fact it is common to use thyroid supplements with illegal steroid use as a method to help 'boost energy').
So what is the sum of all of this? Thyroid supplement is considered very safe for the average dog. There may be some side effects related to the rise and fall of metabolism rates. As long as the blood levels are looking fine, thyroid supplement is thought to do more good than its risks. Of course, this supplement should ONLY be used in dogs that are TRUE hypothyroid canine patients. Furthermore the blood levels and clinical evaluations should be made by routinely by the veterinarian.
If you are concerned that your pet may have some side effects from thyroid supplement what can you do? Talk to your veterinarian. They may want to run blood tests to evaluate thyroid levels to make sure they are within normal limits as well as to look for other common endocrine disorders that are commonly seen with hypothyroidism. If we are worried that the level is too high - then we may consider blood pressure testing, urinalysis, etc...
I noted that one of the posts made mention of heart disease. This is one of the disorders that thyroid supplementation needs to be evaluated carefully. Even though dogs can get rid of extra thyroid easily - we never want to push it with pre-existing diseases, especially cardiac.
Before I start putting people to sleep, I will stop. I hope this lessened the fears of thyroid supplementation which I believe has improved the quality of life for millions of pets around the world.

Wow, Dr. Lee, I almost launched into a discussion of the role of the thyroid but am aware of my propensity for length and of course , I am a human, not doggie doc, lol I am glad you said it, lol

soltolol side effects
I have an 8 year old weimeraner who has been on soltolol 1x per day for almost 8 months due to a heart arythmia. we recently reduced the dosage to 1x every other day because of behavior issues that seemed to be getting worse- one of which is the licking of his chops like he is always thirsty or has dry mouth- he also has been really sapped of all energy..which I keep hearing is because he's 8 now- but its just really dramatically different than even 6 months ago. He has been tested for everything under the sun and everything looks good- does anyone know of any longterm side effects?

Soloxine Question - Side Effects?
My 11yr old boxer was recently diagnosed with hypothyroidism (about 7 weeks ago), and put on Soloxine .7mg twice a day. When diagnosed he weighed 108lbs, he was very lethargic at the time, difficult to take on walks, low metabolism. The weight gain was not due to over-eating (he only eats about 2.5 cups of low-fat dry kibble daily, half the recommended dose and walks regularly). He has always been big (not overweight), he weighed about 85lbs when we moved to New York from Los Angeles 2 years ago, but since has slowly gained 20 lbs (i always attributed it to age). After the thyroid issue, my vet put him on Soloxine and since hes been on the medication he has lost 11lbs approximately 5 weeks after dosage began. Immediately I noticed an increase in metabolism, longer walks, increase in alertness the drug was working and he was losing weight.
Recently, over the last 2 weeks (about 7 weeks after medication began) Ive noticed that his appetite has decreased (this is the first time I recall him not finishing his food, ever), is not walking as fast as he was when first put on the medication, overall more lethargic than the previous weeks on the meds, excessive panting (a lot of panting), and has collapsed twice (did not knock out, more of a weak collapse from not being able to hold himself up). I mentioned this to my vet a week ago (who is known for being a boxer specialist) and he said that it was either due to the heat (its been very hot here) or possibility of having a heart condition where his heart skips a beat but recommended that I stay on the medication since he was losing weight and overall seemed that his metabolism was better. Over the last 2 weeks I think his health/personality (with the exception of the weight loss) has regressed almost to where he was prior to the medication and Im concerned as to whether I should continue administering the medication.
I plan on speaking with my vet on Monday but wanted to ask your advice/suggestions on whether I should continue with the medication, if there is an alternate you would recommend, any other tests you would recommend (hes had 3 blood tests since he started medication, his thyroid level was around 3.1 at latest test if I recall correctly), and any other questions I should be asking. Any general advice?
Thanks in advance, very much look forward to your response.
Hi all - well, it has been three years since my original posting. FYI, after a week long stay at the emergency vet and exploratory surgery, it was determined he had an overabundance of h. pylori in his gut and after a 3 week round of antibiotics, all was well. So now it's 3 years later, and Kodi is now 13. He has really slowed down, and he's shedding clumps of fur all over the house. I'm taking him in tomorrow, and I suspect that his hypothyroidism is worsening. Is it possible that the soloxine is no longer working?
Oh, and thanks to Dr. Lee for the info on hypothyroidism. I found it very helpful
soloxine side effects
My dog has also demonstrated side effects, perhaps from taking Soloxine, such as feeling hot, panting, licking his chops as if his mouth is dry and as if it's hard to swallow. He also drinks a lot of water. He has been having a collapse problem for a while now. It's not a seizure, but his front legs just fold under him. The vet thinks it's a neurological "disconnect" but it sounds like other dogs with thyroid problems are having similar episodes. He also vomits occasionally and now lies almost exclusively on the tile floors to keep cool, which he used to never do. His thyroid levels are still low even though the dosage for him has quadrupled over the last 6 months. He has Addison's Disease and is treated monthly for that.
Hi everyone. I'm so glad I came up on your forum talking about thyroid medications. I hope it's ok if I ask about my dog's thyroid medication in this area.... if I need to create a new topic just let me know.
Here is what's going on with my 9 year old Lab (113 lbs).
My Lab is on medication for Hypothyroidism (Levothyroxine Sodium, USP - 1 tablet 0.08 mg twice a day). In the last couple of weeks he had the following problems which increased to the point of severe:
- inflamed patches of skin all over his body
- oozing sores that resembled "hot spots"
- excessive hair loss in patches
I took him to the vet and he had staph infection on the sores. They gave him a shot & antibiotics and also had me increase his Thyroid medication to 1-1/2 tablets twice a day. They also ran test on his Thyroid.
Last week the vet called me to say the thyroid tests were in and they were very high and told me to decrease his thyroid medication to 1 tablet per day. (sorry I don't know exactly what the levels were.)
This is confusing because, my thinking is; if he had to much thyroid medication than he should have shown symptoms of thirst, hyper activity, ect. Instead he showed symptoms that are more indicative of having extremely low levels of thyroid.
Note: I didn't even think to tell the vet about a suppliment that I had been giving him. In July, after worrying about his off & on skin problems (periods of dry, itchy skin & frequent ear infections & excessive hair shedding,) I read about a natural ingredient supplement that was suppose to give him better skin & coat conditions and I ordered it. (Dinovite).
This is what is listed about the supplement:
Our natural dog supplement is made from top-notch natural ingredients to give your dog a healthy meal. With our supplement he gets the digestive enzymes, beneficial bacteria, vitamins, minerals, and delicate nutrients that he so desperately needs - ones he can't get from his dog food. Once in your dog's system, the digestive enzymes, "good bacteria", and delicate nutrients and vitamins will help your dog heal naturally - giving him relief from allergies, itching, scratching, shedding, gas, joint issues and so many other common dog health problems!
Omega-3 Fatty Acids - healthy shiny coat
Antioxidants - cell structure
Trace Minerals - many body functions
Digestive Enzymes - help digestion
Direct Fed Microbials - good for digestion too
Zinc - helps dull coat, scaly skin and improves immune system
Our all natural ingredients: Ground flax, kelp meal (Ascophyllum nodosum), yeast culture, ground grain sorghum, diatomaceous earth, zinc methionine, montmorillonite clay, yucca schidigera, alfalfa meal, ascorbic acid , Lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation product dehydrated, Lactobacillus casei fermentation product dehydrated, Bifido bacterium bifidium fermentation product dehydrated, Streptococcus faecium fermentation product dehydrated, Aspergillus oryzae fermentation product dehydrated.
Anyway, about 4 days before I took him to the vet I had stopped giving him the supplement. So my question to you is:
1. Is there anything in the supplement that could have caused a negative reaction with his Thyroid medication resulting in the sores & hair loss?
2. Is there anything in the supplement that mixed with Levothyroxine Sodium could cause a false reading his Thyroid test results (making them appear to be higher than they really are)?
I will also ask the vet next week, but when I took him I didn't even think to tell the vet that he had been taking this.
Please advise, as my only concern is in seeing that my dog gets the right treatment and I may be confused as to what a dog is suppose to act like when his levels are too high. Just like with humans, even natural ingredients can mix adversely with dog prescription medications.
Any help out there would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
boydogs,it would be best if you make your own thread,the original thread is very old,as you can see.
Make your own and i am sure you'll get plenty of answers.

Soloxine did great things for my beagle. He was overweight and very sluggish. Like others said, it was hard to walk him. More noticeable however were his bald patches after losing significant amount of hair. He also had some sort of cataracts in his eye. After the drug he seemed much more happy, his hair actually grew back despite the dr. saying it wouldn't and his cataracts reduced significantly. And definitely dropped the weight.
HOWEVER, new things sprouted. He developed a chronic ear infection. But more annoyingly he seems to have extreme skin irritation because he CONSTANTLY scratches and nibbles at himself. It started happening around the same time as the drug. After he developed secondary infections we took him back to the Dr. and he said it was seasonal allergies. I do not know if the two are related, I am just putting it out there to see if other's experienced the same things. Benedryl seems to help him for a short time but I don't want to dope my dog up all the time.
Can anyone shine light on my situation? Could it be anxiety?
Also, the drug must build tolerance because we were recently advised to up the dosage after about 2 years of administration.
Thyroid Help
i have a 7 yr. spayed Lab that has had thyroid problems her whole life. She developed seizures also and after a couple years of these seizures (grand malls) I took her off of all meds. For 10 months she had NO seizures yet continued to be more lethargic and developed more joint problems and weight increased. I recently put her back on Soloxine and immediately she started scratching and chewing until she was bleeding. I changed her medication to Synthroid and still the same resutls. I don't know what to do at this point. She must be allergic to something in these pills. She must take thyroid medication! Please help if anyone has any suggestions.
Possible Soloxine side effects?
On the advise of our vet & after appropriate thryoid tests ...four weeks ago we started out large 7 yr. old mixed breed (80 lbs.airdale/dob we think) on two .5mg tabs of Soloxine daily. About two weeks later we noticed excessive licking around genital & anal areas with a lot of unusual ear scratching as well. Upon checking we found large blackened skin areas, almost looked bruised or burnt, with crusty bleeding sores covering the entire area. Took him back to the vet & she prescribed 750 mg caps of Cephalexin antibiotic twice daily for three weeks. We are using a big anti-lick collar & also are applying Vit-E to affected areas. While it seems to be clearing up a little in the affected areas...we are finding new areas daily, on outside rear legs, chest, look almost like "hot spots" etc. While it is possible we just missed these area before...our concern is that it is spreading.
Our dog has never had ANY SKIN/ ALLERGY problems ever. Is it OK to stop the Soloxine to see if it clears up. This is the only thing we can think of that has changed. Thanks for any help.
soloxine + allergic?
Hi Samisami- our 9y/o cairn ruptured her ACL and the vet said he always checks for hypothyroidism when this happens- found she was hypothyroid and prescribed soloxine. 2 days after we started meds We noticed her genital area and anus were red and she would scratch and scoot, and lick her paws .We stopped the soloxine and the redness went away. Not much about this on the web though.
Anxiety attacks
I have a 7 year old Shih Tzu that has been put on Soloxine for low thyroid. He is having occasional anxiety attacks...panting, "antsy", digs in the bathtub, etc. There isn't any rhyme or reason as to when they occur. I was wondering if they could be a side effect of the Soloxine.
Seizures with soloxine?
Our 9 year old Pekinese recently began taking Soloxine for hypothyroidism. We began to see an increase in appetite and activity almost immediately, but became concerned with the increased water intake and urination. Tonight, he had a fairly large seizure, his first ever. Should we be concerned and is this common with soloxine? Please help.

Soloxine side effects
We just put our Shih Tzu (10 yrs old) on Soloxine and he has had terrible side effects. He has lots of bowel problems and has been disoriented at night. The vet says it must be something else, but when we didn't give him the meds one night he was fine. I think we have to quit this because it's not tolerable.
Soloxine side effects
Just wanted to share my experience - I have a 75lb 8 year old neutered male Boxer, Toby, who has been on 0.7 Soloxine approximately 6-7 months due to a test which indicated low thyroid levels. Today Toby had a seizure (completely fell down and was unresponsive for about 15 seconds while shaking), which my vet is trying to play off on Epilepsy (sp?). From the first day Toby has taken this medication, he has licked his feet & genitals, drank MUCH more water, rubs his face, and is very hot - you can touch him and feel it. When Toby sleeps, he has tremors - his body is always twitching. Every once in awhile, early in the mornings, Toby will start drooling/foaming uncontrollably and then vomit. Almost like a drug addict overdose! He refuses to eat when any of this happens. My vet keeps trying to assure me that Toby's thyroid levels are "normal". I know my dog, and NONE of this is normal. Toby had absolutely NO problems before taking this medication and most articles I've read do not go into details of side effects - until I found this thread. At this point I believe I need to take him to Colorado State University for a different opinion - I don't want to be hurting my dog by doing something that I know isn't right!
I took my 7 year old boxer, Heidi to our vet because she was having a little trouble getting up our steps. I told him she was eating fine and her poops were healthy. He examined her and took blood work. After the results he said it was her thyroid and gave me soloxine 0.8mg to be taken every 12 hours. She stopped eating, started throwing up bile and was literally up all night running out the doggie door with diarrhea. She also became aggressive to my other dogs whom she loves dearly. I called the doc immediately. He said the soloxine couldn't have caused any of those symptons and I should bring her back to be hospitalized so they could watch her. I know my Heidi and I know the soloxine caused her symptons. It was like an over dose. I have taken her off soloxine and she is back to eating and her old self, but now I'm back to the same problem of her having trouble getting up the stairs and back to square one minus alot of money. I told the doc to have a nice day and I will seek out a new vet!! Beware of soloxine!!!
ur all maniatics, i wonder if its a side effect??? well take the time to research the drug before you give it to your pet, for alot of you they are just animals but some of us treat them like family, research the options first and save your time and all of ours posting questions that are addressed in any google search. by the way i bet you all take whatever your doctor prescribes to you too without question too don't you.....fools oh and if i come of as a a$$#*!% to f---ing bad pull ur heads outta ur a$$
Dog meds for humans?
Ok weird one. I have a friend that has even more dogs than me. I am afraid I treat mine like humans. They sleep with me & constant companions. Neighbors think I'm nuts. They hear me talking out loud when in my yard & ask who I'm talking to. I tell them my dogs. They listen well, don't judge & offer support & don't talk back.....well Sparkle does. If she is not happy with anything she makes a woo-woo sound like she is trying to talk. Anyway that is not what I'm here About. One of my friends dogs has a bad heart problem. He is on a lot of meds. Recently my friend started dropping a LOT of weight but her behavior is from one extreme to the other. I asked her how she was losing so much weight.
She tells me she is taking a few of the meds prescribed for her dog. Like 80mg a day Lasix & 8mg a day Soloxine. She says she feels great! Just a bit tired. I asked her about side effects but she says she has none. What if anything can these meds do to her? Thanks, CC
This reading is all too familiar to me. Our dog, 11 year old shepherd mix, is having all these side effects of Soloxime. It was of grave concern to us. We didn't realize they were side effects until I found this website. No vet has mentioned them or agreed to them being a side effect although they did agree with me and did not tell me I was wrong. I have lowered her dosage by half and will do so again. She seems to have a surge after taking the pill. After 45 fretful minutes she calms down. But the starvation, thirst, licking of lips, swallowing, anxiety, urination, licking of the rugs, etc are troublesome. What happens if they do not take the medications? How harmful it not taking them to the animals? Thanks so much for all of your posts. They were extremely helpful.
Hello,everyone.Just found this forum .I realize that this is an old thread but the medication is still on the market and it might be some more information.
My 10 year old boxer was prescribed soloxine 0.7 mg twice a day.Almost right after (a couple of days) he got bleeding in his stool (a lot).I am taking the sample to the vet (she can not see him to-day).Could be a co-incidence but he was OK before .
It looks like no one experienced this problem.I'll post the results of a test later.
Except for the bleeding - no other visible side effects.He seemed to have more energy and has good appetite.
Sorry to post before the results - I am very scared .
Soloxine dosage reduced for my beagle
Hi all,
For those of you whose vets say that your dog's behavior is due to the soloxine working, I highly suggest you get a 2nd opinion or insist on having more bloodwork done.
My beagle has been on .3 mg of Soloxine twice a day for roughly 6 weeks. I noticed a difference right away as far as his energy levels went. After 4 weeks, he had bloodwork done (T4) to make sure he was receiving the right dosage and at that time, his thyroid levels were normal (3.9 from his previous .4) and we continued happily with the dosage.
After another week, I noticed that he was drinking more and asking to be let out much more often than normal (every hour from noon to 6pm!). His skin became dry and flaky, had upset stomach and went from energetic to frenetic and downright anxious. I called my vet and they had me bring him in the next day. Further bloodwork showed that his thyroid levels are now at 6.0 - way too high. His dosage is now cut in half so I'm hoping that his symptoms will soon be resolved. I was told that I should notice a difference within 2 or 3 days.
Thank goodness I have a wonderful vet that takes my inquiries seriously.

2006 Flavor Trends Forecast
Here, too, health exerts its influence: How about spices that fight cancer, chocolate for heart-health and sweet-hot combos that improve satiety?
1 of 2 < 1 | 2 > View on one page

As it turned out, all those flavors did reasonably well and, as trends, they will continue to express themselves during 2006. But there are some new trends in town. Some may come and go, but some will outlast 2006, changing and refining themselves — and the way we make food products — in the next several years.
We surveyed a number of flavor companies, food processors and researchers. Frankly, what we found was not so much some new and trendy flavors but new reasons for using (and consumers demanding) some familiar flavors.
One interesting change was the interest in flavors in the fight against obesity and poor health. The emphasis on healthful, functional and weight-reducing foods has had a huge impact on food manufacturing. As a result, there are certain flavors and flavor-imparting ingredients that show great potential for helping processors follow those trends in the new year.
Fight obesity with flavors
Flavor trends are nearly always reflections of the types of foods that are growing in importance. Currently, the key trend is food products that reduce the risk of obesity.
What does that have to do with flavor trends? First, if we're going to cut the caloric load of a day's food from more than 3,000 to about 1,800 or less, those 1,800 calories had better taste really good. At the same time, an increasing amount of research is finding that strong, pungent flavors and aromas have a role in satiety, and therefore weight loss.
The Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation (www.smellandtaste.org), Chicago, found that patients who lost their sense of smell and taste ate more and gained weight. "Patients overate in an attempt to regain some of the pleasure from eating that had been lost along with their sense of smell," reported neurobiologist and psychiatrist Alan Hirsch, who directed the research.
Hirsch says the aroma of food is essential to the sense of satiety. "The satiety center uses the odor molecules to operate the signals that indicate that the diner is satisfied," he says. Tests included sprinkling foods with salty/sweet combinations such as cheddar cheese/cocoa, horseradish/banana and taco/raspberry to enhance the aroma of foods.
|Chocolate's popularity as a flavor continues to rise as a result of its heart-health connection. Photo courtesy of Answers.com.
Many other product developers and flavorists also are combining pepper derivatives and cooling flavors with chocolate and sweet flavors.
Chocolate as a flavor is getting a boost thanks to work from Mars Inc. on polyphenol enhancement. Mars claims the specially processed flavanols plus plant sterols in its CocoaVia bars improve a number of heart functions, most notably cholesterol.
Hershey and a number of other food processors and scientists are studying the healthful properties of chocolate. While the science behind the chocolate-heart health connection is not conclusive, awareness is growing and the public may see chocolate as a general positive.
Flaunting fruit
Fruit flavors also are gaining popularity due to new-found links to health and their renewed emphasis in last year's Dietary Guidelines for Healthy Americans.
Pomegranate's perceived value as an antioxidant was recognized by consumers last year. This year, McCormick & Co. (www.mccormick.com), Hunt Valley, Md., notes that pomegranate is a star supporting actor, pairing well with vanilla, allspice, mustard, pork, black pepper, sea salt, cinnamon, orange and pears. After a breakout 2004-2005, it remains on the upswing.
Other fruits (and their flavors) also are benefiting from the public's increased understanding of antioxidants. In addition to being rich in antioxidants, açai is a fruit that is high in fiber, anthocyanins, minerals and vitamin E. It's showing up in functional beverages, nutritional bars and smoothies.
Cherry is a flavor being aided by a word-of-mouth health connection. Whether or not FDA has found it useful, millions of arthritics swear by cherry juice and cherry products. Newer forms of the fruit are offered for use as an ingredient, including dried cherries and cherry puree.
Cranberries are gaining in popularity for much the same reasons, by diabetics, who use the bright red fruit every day, instead of just around the holidays. Mary Ellen Camire of Maine University has performed research that indicates cranberries may be a retardant for type II diabetes.

What is a hair extension?
A hair extension is a beauty product designed to give you the appearance of longer and/or fuller hair. Hair extensions are made of synthetic material or real human hair and are attached to your natural hair by a variety of techniques such as a weave (sewing), hot fusion, tape-in, cold fusion, bonding, metal clips, micro ring or micro loops, and more. The type of technique you select as well as the quality and volume of the hair you choose all affect cost. Hair extensions can last anywhere from three weeks to six months, depending on the application technique. For example, tape-in extensions may last approximately four weeks, while extensions applied using a hot fusion technique may stay in for up to six months. The hot fusion technique takes longer, costs more, and requires more training on the part of the hair stylist, but the result is more natural-looking extensions that can be washed and heat-styled with confidence.
What is a mobile hairdresser?
A mobile hairdresser is a cosmetologist trained to cut, color and style hair who can provide hairdressing services at remote locations. Often, mobile hairdressers are hired for events such as weddings, bachelorette parties, prom night, birthdays and other occasions. The hairstylist can come to your location to do your hair, or provide hairstyling for your group.
For events, mobile hairstylists more often provide updos and formal styles than highlights or hair color. Mobile hairdressers bring all the necessary hairstyling tools and products such as lotions and sprays to create your look. The national average cost for a hairstylist is $70-$110. Pricing for different services can vary greatly depending on stylist reputation, training and regional rates. For example, haircuts could range between $35 and $150, while hair coloring services could range in price from $65 to $200. Some mobile hairstylists may include the cost of travel in their fees, while other may have it as an added charge, such as 50 cents to $1 for each mile beyond their standard service range.
How do you choose the right makeup artist for your wedding?
A wedding makeup artist can ensure a flawless look on your big day. Finding the perfect person isn't all about price, though. Here are tips for choosing the right makeup artist for your wedding:
- Research before reaching out. Wedding makeup artists should have an online presence with portfolios of their work. Find someone with an aesthetic you love.
- Read reviews. You want a wedding makeup artist who'll be on time, do beautiful work, and add a positive vibe to your day. Pay attention if previous clients report bad experiences with a makeup artist.
- Consider skin tones. If your bridal party has a range of skin tones, make sure your wedding makeup artist and assistants are experienced and talented working with everyone.
- Is your top pick available on your date? If so, put down a deposit to secure their services.
- Confirm rates and payment. Clearly discuss prices and payment plans, and sign a detailed contract so there are no surprises on your wedding day.
Do I need a makeup artist for my wedding?
There are no rules around your wedding day, and that means it's your choice whether to have a wedding makeup artist. If you're on the fence about hiring a wedding makeup artist, consider the pros and cons. Some women decide against a wedding makeup artist to save money. The national average cost for a wedding makeup artist is $70-$100, which is an expense some women prefer to do without. Other women just don't love wearing makeup. Some brides have friends or family members who are talented makeup artists willing to provide their services. If you choose not to have a wedding makeup artist, be sure to do at least two trial runs of your makeup look well before the wedding day to avoid any morning-of panic.
On the other hand, a wedding makeup artist can make the bride feel pampered and confident, giving her a flawless, fabulous look for the ceremony and reception and in wedding photos. For brides who are uncomfortable with heavy makeup, many wedding makeup artists usually excel at the natural look. Many brides consider wedding makeup part of the ritual and tradition of the ceremony, a shared experience with the entire bridal party. Ultimately your choice of whether to hire a wedding makeup artist should be based on what will make you feel most confident and happy.
How much should you tip a hairstylist?
A hairstylist can provide you with a cut, color or highlights, or style your hair for an event. The national average cost for a hairstylist is $70-$110, but prices can vary greatly depending on the service you receive, where you live, and the salon's or hairdresser's reputation. A good rule of thumb is to tip your hairstylist 20 percent of your total bill. In smaller towns, 15 percent may be the norm, but in larger cities 20 percent is generally the baseline. If you frequent a salon where the shampooer, colorist, and hair cutter are all different people, you can divide that 20 percent among those service providers in proportion to the skill level and time required to do their job. Many hairstylists rent a chair from the salon and must pay a monthly rent to the salon owner.

Where are we now with QR Codes in museum interpretation?
In 2008 we had a discussion about using QR codes and the consensus was that they were not quite ready for visitors yet. Seb Chan looked at the potential of QR codes in this 2009 blog post, with some useful practical instructions about how to use them. Two years on with the explosion in mobile uptake, I see that QR codes seem to have come back in to fashion in museum interpretation. I have been collecting a range of readings about QR codes which I thought I'd share.
Mashable identifies the Five Mistakes to Avoid in Your QR Code Marketing Campaign – "not testing the code; getting too fancy with text; serving up non-mobile pages; putting QR codes where there's no data signal; and Not offering enough value". The author reminds us that "QR codes by themselves are fundamentally neither good nor bad, they're just a means to an end: an offline-to-online delivery mechanism".
Nina Simon writes about her experiments with QR codes, reminding us that the purpose if using the codes must be clear – does it add value to the visitor experience or does it lead to more frustrations? Seems to me that we should not become complacent about labeling, saying "we can just add that to the QR Code!" There are other ways for visitors to access associated rich media in an exhibition (especially now in use of iPads but that's a post for another day).
Kathleen Tinworth, in her wonderful blog expose.your.museum, posted Destination QR which gives a nice couple of practical examples of QR Code use. I particularly liked the idea of outdoor interpretation making better use of QR Codes. At the re-launching of the Grant Museum of Zoology they are using QR codes and iPads in their interpretive labeling and it looks pretty interesting.
A recent post from the mobilists, QR Codes in Museums, states that "QR codes are a great way to enhance the visitor's experience. They can bring life to exhibits, allow communication between visitors and educate at all levels." They have listed some really great examples and tips – a must-read if you're thinking about QR Codes.
As identified in several of these posts, the area that really needs attention I think is the way the codes are introduced to visitors so they are able to access them. A great example is the Powerhouse Museum's Lovelace exhibition, and the app was pretty good too. Seb has blogged about their experiences here. The images on the right are taken from the exhibition entry and offer a good template I believe. Be keen to see how they are received by visitors.
To finish, as part of a Smart Services CRC Research project, Measuring the Value of Mobile Applications, we conducted a second study asking how visitors to the Australian Museum use and value their apps. We asked visitors to pick the statement that best explained them in relation to QR Codes. Of the 100 sampled so far, we found that:
We will be doing more surveying and experimenting in the near future so watch this space...
Here's another article via @museummike: Another Sign QR Codes Don't Appeal to the Young. Seems the jury is still out!
Two more posts have come across my desk: Chicken, eggs and QR codes (via @sebchan) and QR or not to QR (via @JimCroft). More food for thought...
Here's a post, 5 reasons you're probably wasting time with QR codes, that makes some interesting points.
Thnx for your comments. Agree re making content accessible across a number of ways - not just QR Codes.
Here's also an interesting case study using QR Codes in shopping in Korea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9zcs1dg8qo

A former Australian Federal Police (AFP) worker accused of having more than 35,000 images and 800 videos of child pornography will stand trial next year.
Michael Feuerstein, 50, has been charged with a number of offences, including possessing child pornography.
Police arrested him during a raid at his Rosemeadow home in Sydney's southwest last year, in which they seized a computer, hard drives, AFP uniforms, batons, photographs and videos.
Feuerstein made a brief appearance via audio-visual link in the Downing Centre District Court on Friday, speaking only to confirm a trial date set for June 17, 2013.
It was previously reported that Feuerstein had changed his name to Elvis Presley.
No application for bail was made, with Justice Reg Blanche ordering him to remain in custody until his arraignment in March.

When building applications, it's often necessary to take a "divide and conquer" approach by breaking down complex problems into a series of simpler problems. In an object-oriented world, this translates to breaking down complex objects into a series of smaller objects, each focusing on a single concern, and collaborating with the others to form a complex system and model its behavior.
A dependency injection container is a tool that can simplify the process of decomposing such a system. Often times, when developers go through the work of destructuring a system, they introduce a new complexity of "re-assembling" the smaller parts again at runtime. This is what a dependency injection container can do for you, using simple declarative hints.
Let's say we have a
CustomerEditScreen that needs to load a
Customer entity by ID from a web service. We wouldn't want to place all the details of our AJAX implementation inside our
CustomerEditScreen class. Instead, we would want to factor that into a
CustomerService class that our
CustomerEditScreen, or any other class, can use when it needs to load a
Customer. Aurelia's dependency injection container lets you accomplish this by declaring that the
CustomerEditScreen needs to have a
CustomerService injected at creation time.
The mechanism for declaring a class's dependencies depends on the language you have chosen to author your application with. Typically, you would use Decorators, an ES Next feature supported by both Babel and TypeScript. Here's what it looks like to declare that the
CustomerEditScreen needs a
CustomerEditScreen Injection
import {CustomerService} from 'backend/customer-service';
import {injectParty Heels Leather High Stiletto for Patent Dress Toe Shoes Closed Black Women Pointed Pumps Wedding MIUINCY } from 'aurelia-framework';
export class CustomerEditScreen {
constructor(customerService) {
this.customerService = customerService;
this.customer = null;
activate(params) {
return this.customerService.getCustomerById(params.customerId)
.then(customer => this.customer = customer);
Notice that we use the
inject decorator and that the constructor signature matches the list of dependencies in the
inject decorator. This tells the DI that any time it wants to create an instance of
CustomerEditScreen it must first obtain an instance of
CustomerService which it can Toe Black Heels Dress Closed Women MIUINCY Leather High Stiletto Party Pumps Shoes Patent for Wedding Pointed inject into the constructor of
CustomerEditScreen during instantiation. You can have as many injected dependencies as you need. Simply ensure that the
inject decorator and the constructor match one another. Here's a quick example of multiple dependencies:
CustomerEditScreen Multiple Injection
import {CustomerService} from 'backend/customer-service';
import {CommonDialogs} Shoes MIUINCY Black Leather Closed High Party Patent Stiletto Dress Heels Women Pumps Pointed Wedding for Toe from 'resources/dialogs/common-dialogs';
import {EventAggregator} from 'aurelia-event-aggregator';
import {inject} from 'aurelia-framework';
@inject(CustomerService, CommonDialogsParty Women High Shoes Heels Dress Stiletto Black Toe Patent Pointed for Closed Pumps MIUINCY Wedding Leather , EventAggregator)
export class CustomerEditScreen {
constructor(customerService,NuBuck Tan STEVEN Dress Steve by Sandal Madden Women's Viienna qfTZn1wq dialogs, ea) {
this.customerService = customerService;
this.dialogs = dialogs;
this.ea = ea;
this.customer = null;
activate(params) {
Black Patent Leather Closed Stiletto Party Shoes Heels Pointed Toe Women High Dress for Pumps MIUINCY Wedding return this.customerService.getCustomerById(params.customerId)
.then(customer => this.customer Patent Heels Women Toe Shoes Leather Pointed Pumps Party MIUINCY Black Closed High Stiletto for Dress Wedding = customer)
.then(customer => this.ea.publish('edit:begin', customer));
To use Decorators in Babel, you need the
babel-plugin-transform-decorators-legacy plugin. To use them in TypeScript, you need to add the
"experimentalDecorators": true setting to the
compilerOptions section of your
tsconfig.json file. Aurelia projects typically come with these options pre-configured.
If you are using TypeScript, you can take advantage of an experimental feature of the language to have the TypeScript transpiler automatically provide Type information to Aurelia's DI. You can do this by configuring the TypeScript compiler with the
"emitDecoratorMetadata": true option in the
compilerOptions section of your
tsconfig.json file. If you do this, you don't need to duplicate the type information with
inject, instead, as long as your constructor definition contains its parameters' types, you can use Aurelia's
autoinject decorator like this:
CustomerEditScreen AutoInjection with TypeScript
import {CustomerService} from 'backend/customer-service';
import {CommonDialogs} from 'resources/dialogs/common-dialogs';
import {EventAggregator} from 'aurelia-event-aggregator';
importDr Giorgie Ballet Women's Flat Shoes Whiskey Scholl's xqx7SwT {autoinject} from 'aurelia-framework';
export class Dress Party Black Heels Pumps Pointed for Women Stiletto Wedding MIUINCY High Leather Patent Shoes Toe Closed CustomerEditScreen {
constructor(private customerService: CustomerService, private dialogs: CommonDialogs, private ea: EventAggregatorBlack Shoes Patent Women Wedding Pumps for Leather Closed Pointed Heels Stiletto High Dress Toe MIUINCY Party ) {
this.customer = null;
activate(params) {
return this.customerService.getCustomerById(params.customerId)
.then(customer => this.customer = customer)
.then(customer => this.ea.publish('edit', customer));
Interestingly, you don't need to use our
autoinject decorator at all to get the above to work. The TypeScript compiler will emit the type metadata if any decorator is added to the class. Aurelia can read this metadata regardless of what decorator triggers TypeScript to add it. We simply provide the
autoinject decorator for consistency and clarity.
If you aren't using Babel's or TypeScript's decorator support (or don't want to), you can easily provide
inject metadata using a simple static method or property on your class:
CustomerEditScreen Inject Method
import {CustomerService} from 'backend/customer-service';
import {CommonDialogs} from 'resources/dialogs/common-dialogs';
import {EventAggregator} from 'aurelia-event-aggregator';
export class CustomerEditScreen {
static inject() { return [CustomerService, CommonDialogs, EventAggregator]; }
constructor(customerService, dialogs, ea) {
this.customerService = customerService;
this.dialogs = dialogs;
this.ea = ea;
this.customer = null;
activate(params) {
return this.customerService.getCustomerById(params.customerId)
.then(customer => this.customer = customer)
.then(customer => this.ea.publish('edit:begin', customer));
In addition to a static
inject method, a static
inject property is also supported. In fact, the
inject decorator simply sets the static property automatically. It's just syntax sugar. If you wanted to use decorators, but didn't want to use Aurelia's decorator, you could even create your own to set this same property.
The nice thing about dependency injection is that it works in a recursive fashion. For example, if class A depends on class B, and class B depends on classes C and D, and class D depends on E, F and G, then creating class A will result in the resolution of all the classes in the hierarchy that are needed.
Object Lifetime, Child Containers and Default Behavior
Each object created by the dependency injection container has a "lifetime". There are three lifetime behaviors that are typical:
- Container Singleton - A singleton class,
A, is instantiated when it is first needed by the DI container. The container then holds a reference to class
A's instance so that even if no other objects reference it, the container will keep it in memory. When any other class needs to inject
A, the container will return the exact same instance. Thus, the instance of
Ahas its lifetime connected to the container instance. It will not be garbage collected until the container itself is disposed and no other classes hold a reference to it.
- Application Singleton - In Aurelia, it's possible to have child DI containers created from parent containers. Each of these child containers inherits the services of the parent, but can override them with their own registrations. Every application has a root DI container from which all classes and child containers are created. An application singleton is just like a container singleton, except that the instance is referenced by the root DI container in the application. This means that the root and all child containers will return the same singleton instance, provided that a child container doesn't explicitly override it with its own registration.
- Transient - Any DI container can create transient instances. These instances are created each time they are needed. The container holds no references to them and always creates a new instance for each request.
Any class can be registered in a container as singleton or transient (or custom). We'll look at explicit configuration in the next section. Most classes in your application, however, are auto-registered by Aurelia. That is, there is no upfront configuration, but when an instance of class
A is first needed, it is registered automatically at that point in time and then immediately resolved to an instance. What does this process look like? Let's look at a couple of examples to see how things work in practice.
Example 1 - Root Container Resolution
Imagine that we have a single instance of
Container called
root. If a developer (or Aurelia) invokes
root.get(A) to resolve an instance of
A, the
root will first check to see if it has a
Resolver for
A. If one is found, the
Resolver is used to
get the instance, which is then returned to the developer. If one is not found, the container will auto-register a
Resolver for
A. This resolver is configured with a singleton lifetime behavior. Immediately after auto-registration, the
Resolver is used to
get the instance of
A which is returned to the developer. Subsequent calls to
root.get(A) will now immediately find a
Resolver for
A which will return the singleton instance.
Example 2 - Child Container Resolution
Now, imagine that we have a
Container named
root and we call
root.createChild() to create a child container named
child. Then, we invoke
child.get(A) to resolve an instance of
A. What will happen? First,
child checks for a
Resolver for
A. If none is found, then it calls
get(A) on its
parent which is the
root container from which it was created.
root then checks to see if it has a
Resolver. If not, it auto-registers
A in
root and then immediately calls the
Resolver to
get an instance of
Example 3 - Child Container Resolution with Override
Let's start with an instance of
Container named
root. We will then call
root.createChild() to create a child container named
child. Next we will call
child.createChild() to create a grandchild container from it named
grandchild. Finally, we'll call
child.registerSingleton(A, A). What happens when we call
grandchild.get(A)? First,
grandchild checks for a
Resolver. Since it doesn't find one, it delegates to its
parent which is the
child from which it was created.
child then checks for a
Resolver. Since
child.registerSingleton(A, A) was called on
child this means that
child will have a
Resolver for
A. At this point
child's resolver is used to
get an instance of
A which is returned to the developer.
As you can see from these examples, the
Container basically walks its hierarchy until it either finds a
Resolver or reaches the root. If no
Resolver is found in the root, it auto-registers the class as a singleton in the root. This means that all auto-registered classes are application-wide singletons, unless they are overriden by a child container.
How Aurelia Uses Containers
Aurelia makes extensive use of DI throughout the framework. All view-models, components, services, etc. are created with DI. Aurelia also makes heavy use of child containers. The key to understanding the lifetime of your objects is in knowing how Aurelia uses child containers.
There are basically three cases where child containers get created and used by Aurelia, all essentially having to do with components.
Custom Elements and Custom Attributes
When Aurelia creates a View, that view may contain occurrences of custom elements and custom attributes. Any time an HTML element is found to either be a custom element or have custom attributes, Aurelia creates a child container for that element, parented to the closest custom element container (or the view itself). It then manually registers the elements/attributes in the child container as singletons. This ensures that the elements and attributes aren't singletons at the application level or even the view level, which would not make sense. Instead, they are scoped to their location in the DOM. As a result of this, the HTML behaviors have access to classes registered above them in the DOM and on the same element. Likewise, they can be injected into classes that are created through their child element containers.
Aurelia does not create child containers when there are plain HTML elements, or elements with only binding expressions, value converters, etc. It only creates them when the element itself is a custom element or if the element has custom attributes.
Despite that fact that the child container hierarchy is present in the DOM, you should be very wary of creating structural coupling between components in this way. The child container mechanism primarily exists to provide override services needed by custom elements and attributes such as
ViewResources and
Routed Components
Each time the
Router navigates to a screen, it creates a child container to encapsulate all the resources related to that navigation event and then auto-registers the screen's view-model in that child container. As you know, auto-registration, by default, results in the view-model being registered as a singleton. However, it is possible to override this with explicit configuration, unlike custom elements and custom attributes, which are always container singletons.
Dynamic Components
Dynamic composition, whether through the
element or through the
CompositionEngine, also creates child containers with auto-registration behavior, just like the
Router. In fact, the
RouteLoader simply calls the
CompositionEngine internally to do the heavy lifting.
MIUINCY Stiletto Women Wedding Toe Patent for Shoes Party Dress Pumps Leather Black High Heels Pointed Closed The General Rule for Aurelia's DI Use
Everything is an application-level singleton except for those things which are classified as "components", essentially custom elements, custom attributes and view-models created through the router or composition engine. You can change the lifetime of router and composition created components through explicit configuration.
Explicit Configuration
For the most part, Aurelia's DI will do what you want with object lifetime. However, you may desire to change the behavior of individual classes for the specific needs of your application. This is easy to do by either directly using the
Container API or by decorating your class with a
The Container Registration API
The usual way to configure a class's lifetime is to use the
Container API directly. Typically, you will want to do this configuration up-front in your application's main
configure method. The
Aurelia instance that is provided during configuration has a
container property which points to the root DI container for your application. Recall that any
Resolver configured at the application root will apply unless a child container has explicitly overriden the behavior.
Here's a survey of the registration APIs you have available through a
Container instance:
container.registerSingleton(key: any, fn?: Function): void- This method allows you to register a class as a singleton. This is the default, as discussed above, so there's rarely a reason to call this method. It is provided in the API for completeness. When calling, provide the key that will be used to look up the singleton and the class which should be used. It's common for the key and class to be the same. If they are the same, then only the key needs to be provided. Here are some examples:
container.registerSingleton(History, BrowserHistory);
Heels Pumps High Party Closed Pointed MIUINCY Patent Black Wedding Shoes Leather Stiletto Women Dress for Toe container.registerSingleton(HttpClient);
container.registerTransient(key: any, fn?: Function): voidFlop Cloud Black pink Rider V Women's Flip 5qw1IS6 - This method allows you to register a class as transient. This means that every time the
containeris asked for the key, it will return a brand new instance of the class. As with the singleton behavior, the key is requried but the class is optional. If left off, the key will be treated as the class to be instantiated. Here's an example of using transient registration:
Dress Shoes Pointed Black Party for High Women Patent Leather Pumps Wedding Stiletto Heels Closed MIUINCY Toe container.registerTransient(LinkHandler, DefaultLinkHandler);
container.registerInstance(key: any, instance?: any): void- If you already have an existing instance, you can add that to the container with this method. You just need to pick a key that the instance will be retrievable by. If no key is provided then the key becomes the instance.
container.registerHandler(key: any, handler: (container?: Container, key?: any, resolver?: Resolver) => any): void- In addition to simply declaring behaviors, you can also provide a custom function (a handler) that will respond any time the container is queried for the key. This custom handler has access to the container instance, the key and the internal resolver which stores the handler. This enables just about any sort of custom lifetime to be implemented by supplying a custom function. Here's an example:
container.registerHandler('Foo', () => new Bar());TT Tahari Fabric Flat Harper Shimmer Women's Black Ballet qqwr1Ux5
- TT Tahari Fabric Flat Harper Shimmer Women's Black Ballet qqwr1Ux5
container.registerResolver(key: any, resolver: Resolver): void- You can also register a custom
Resolverinstance for the key. Under the hood, all previously discussed methods translate to using a built-in
Resolverinstance. However, you can always supply your own. We'll discuss this in more detail in the DI customization article.
container.autoRegister(fn: any, key?: any): Resolver- As you know, if a container can't find a registration during its resolution stage, it will auto-register the requested type. That is done internally through the use of
autoRegister. However, you can use it yourself to auto-register a type with a particular container instance. By default, this will result in a singleton registration, on the container this API is called on. However, if the type has registration decorators, that could provide an alternate registration. Whatever
Resolveris established during auto-registration will be returned.
Registration Keys
All registration APIs take a
key. This key is typically the class itself (for convenience). However, the key can be any type, including strings and objects. This is possible because Aurelia's DI implementation uses a
Map object to correlate a key to a
Resolver. When using class-oriented registration APIs, if the key is not a class, you must provide the class to be created as the second argument to the API call.
Registration Decorators
As an alternative to explicitly registering types with the container, you can rely on auto-registration, but specify the auto-registration behavior you desire, overriding the default container-root-singleton behavior. To provide auto-registration behavior, you simply decorate your type with an auto-registration decorator. What follows is a basic explanation of built-in registration decorators:
transient()- Simply decorate your class with
transient()and when it's requested from the container, a new instance will be created for each request.
singleton(overrideChild?:boolean)- Normally, types are auto-registered as singletons in the root container. So, why do we provide this decorator? This decorator allows you to specify
trueas an argument to indicate that the singleton should be registered not in the root container, but in the immediate container to which the initial request was issued.
registration(registration: Registration)- In addition to the built-in singleton and transient registrations, you can create your own and associate it with a class. We'll discuss this in more detail in the DI customization article.
Registration Decorator Usage
At present, the Decorators spec allows for decorators to use parens or not depending on whether or not the decorator requires arguments. This means that decorator invocation is dependent on how the decorator was implemented internally, which can be confusing from time to time. As a result of the way that the registration decorators are implemented, you must use them with parens.
As mentioned above, the DI container uses
Resolvers internally to provide all instances. When explicitly configuring the container, you are actually specifying what
Heels Toe Party Closed Wedding Pointed for Dress Black Stiletto Pumps Leather High MIUINCY Shoes Patent Women Resolver should be associated with a particular lookup key. However, there's a second way that resolvers are useful. Instead of supplying a key as part of the
inject decorator, you can provide a
ResolverSkull Platform Iron Purple Heels Fiesta Fist Womens wqTgxU instead. This resolver then communicates with the container to provide special resolution behavior, specific to the injection. Here's a list of the resolvers you can use in this capacity:
Lazy- Injects a function for lazily evaluating the dependency.
- ex.
- ex.
All- Injects an array of all services registered with the provided key.
Optional- Injects an instance of a class only if it already exists in the container; null otherwise.
- ex.
- ex.
Parent- Skips starting dependency resolution from the current container and instead begins the lookup process on the parent container.
- ex.
- ex.
Factory- Used to allow injecting dependencies, but also passing data to the constructor.
- ex.
- ex.
NewInstance- Used to inject a new instance of a dependency, without regard for existing instances in the container.
- ex.
- ex.
If using TypeScript, keep in mind that
@autoinject won't allow you to use
Resolvers. Instead, you may use argument decorators, without duplicating argument order, which you otherwise have to maintain when using the class decorator or the static
inject property. You also can use
inject as argument decorator for your own custom resolvers, eg
constructor(@inject(NewInstance.of(HttpClient)) public client: HttpClient){...}. Available build-in function parameter decorators are:
newInstance(asKey?, dynamicDependencies: [any])
Here's an example of how we might express a dependency on
HttpClient that we may or may not actually need to use, depending on runtime scenarios:
Using Resolvers
import {Lazy, inject} Party High Wedding Closed Stiletto Toe Dress Patent Pointed MIUINCY Black Women Pumps Leather for Heels Shoes from 'aurelia-framework';
import {HttpClient} from 'aurelia-fetch-client';
@inject(Gold Pigeon Wedding Ruffle Pump Women Dress Shoes 5518 Dance Shoes Standard Party Party Medium Evening Smooth Black Shoes Heel Comfort Ballroom Satin Collections Tango rrIq0dvxLazy.of(HttpClient))
export class CustomerDetail {
this.getHTTP = getHTTP;
In this case, the
Pumps Pointed Dress for MIUINCY Black Toe Closed Women Heels Shoes High Party Leather Wedding Stiletto Patent Lazy resolver doesn't actually provide an instance of
HttpClient directly. Instead, it provides a function that can be invoked at some point in the future to obtain an instance of
HttpClient if needed.

Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains: Hiking, Trout Fishing, and Quaint, Historical Towns
The Poconos region of northeastern Pennsylvania accounts for some 2,400 square miles of mountains, lakes, waterfalls, and forests. The area has been a popular vacation destination ever since Pennsylvania Quakers opened a hotel here on the Delaware River in 1829. Today, the Poconos draw nearly 24 million annual visitors, thanks to year-round recreational opportunities and stunning natural scenery.
The warmer months are a great time to explore the region's lakes and wooded hills. For spectacular hikes, check out Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, where you can trek to dramatic waterfalls or follow a 27-mile section of the historic Appalachian Trail. Throughout the region are dozens of lakes and streams filled with bass and trout. Lake Wallenpaupack, located 30 miles east of Scranton, is one of the best fishing spots in the state.
There are diversions outside of hiking and fishing, too. A handful of quaint little towns full of antique shops and galleries nestle in the mountains. You'll find boutique wine galleries and historical mansions tucked away on country roads, including the late 19th-century Asa Packer Mansion, which is open for tours, in the borough of Jim Thorpe.

The Money Candidate
How Barack Obama will fix the economy and heal the nation
By Eric Johnson
I think all of you here would today acknowledge that we've lost a sense of our shared responsibility. We've failed to guard against policies that all too often rewarded financial manipulation, instead of productivity and innovation, policies that favored Wall Street over Main Street—and hurt both.
"Our free market was never meant to be a free license to take whatever you can get however you can get it."
When Barack Obama uttered these words, at a much-heralded speech in which he announced his plan to rescue the American economy, he received a huge ovation. That was itself remarkable, given that he delivered the speech on March 27, more than six months ago, when many of us—including the man who is now his opponent for the presidency—were paying much less attention to the economy than we are now. The ovation was more remarkable because he delivered the speech on Wall Street, to a throng of financiers.
The 30-minute talk began on a historic note, with a look back at the foundations of the American economic system that offered a glimpse at the candidate's fundamental economic philosophy. He described the tension between letting the so-called "free market" operate on its own, and forcing regulations on the market—and how the debate on that topic that was waged by Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton.
"The task before our founders," Obama said, "was putting into practice the ideal that government could simultaneously serve liberty and advance the common good.
"Our free market has been the engine of American progress. But the American experiment has worked in large part because we've guided the market's invisible hand with a higher principle—that each American does better when all Americans do better."
It's striking to look back at the video of this speech. When Obama mentions this idea about shared responsibility, the crowd erupts—it was the biggest applause line of the day. And remember: This was an audience made up of Wall Street fat cats. They cheered because they knew the economy was in serious trouble, and they believed that the guy they were listening to might just be able to fix it.
There are a lot of lies being told about Barack Obama—that he's a secret Muslim, that he's a friend of terrorists. Lately McCain supporters have been calling their opponent a socialist. They are doing so because Obama wants to put the government back in charge of the economy, instead of letting unelected corporate officials call the shots.
Somehow, the nation has fallen sway to an ideology that sees government oversight as un-American. Talk of basic fairness can get someone called a commie. But the fact is, Wall Street wants someone to be in charge.
At his speech last March, Obama was introduced by Michael Bloomberg, who, before he became the Republican mayor of New York, was himself a super-successful businessman and financial analyst. (He became an Independent last year.) In attendance for the speech were former U.S. Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, former Securities and Exchange Commission chairman Arthur Leavitt, former Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volker and former Fed vice chairman Alice Rivlin.
These people have served Republican and Democratic presidents, and represent he kind of bipartisan support Obama is receiving from financial professionals.
Last month, The Economist magazine conducted a poll of leading economists that delivered startling results. "A majority—at times by overwhelming margins—believe Mr. Obama has the superior economic plan, a firmer grasp of economics and will appoint better economic advisers."
The respondents said they saw the election as crucial. And 80 percent said Obama has a better grasp of the situation. Among Republicans, 46 percent of professional economists said they trusted Obama and 23 percent favored McCain.
And, of course, Obama has been endorsed by the richest man in the world.
A highlight of last week's presidential debate came when Tom Brokaw asked the candidates to say who they'd appoint to take over the Fed if they were elected. McCain's first answer was Warren Buffett, "the Oracle of Omaha," who, according to polls, may be the most trusted man in America when it comes to money matters. (McCain revised his answer to mention eBay's Meg Whitman.)
When it was his turn to respond, Obama conceded that he too likes Buffett. And, he couldn't help but add, "I am pleased to have his support."
Buffett has said of Obama, "I would let him run my company." In the world of business there is no higher praise.
Obama also has a lot of friends in Silicon Valley. Marc Andreessen, founder of Netscape and himself a kind of Oracle of Silicon Valley, recently surprised his pals by endorsing Obama.
"I'm hugely pro-Obama," Andreessen said in an interview in Wired magazine. His reason? "The other guy admits he doesn't know anything about economics," he said. "I run into my friends in the valley who say, 'How on earth can you support a Democrat?' I think Obama is much more centrist, especially on economic issues, than people think."
Andreessen credits Obama's connections with the University of Chicago, which, he points out, "is not known as a radical leftist school. It's like the heart of free-market ideology."
"He knows what he's talking about. He gets it. He's not some raving, liberal lunatic who's going to come along and try to Hugo Chavez everything."
Andreessen, it turns out, is a fan of Obama's chief economic adviser, a University of Chicago professor named Austin Goolsbee. Writing in The Guardian, Daniel Koffler says Obama's "language of personal choice and incentive" derives mostly from Goolsbee, who calls himself a "behavioral economist."
"Goolsbee agrees with the liberal consensus on the need to address concerns such as income inequality, disparate educational opportunities and, of course, disparate access to healthcare," Koffler writes, "but breaks sharply from liberal orthodoxy on both the causes of these social ills and the optimal strategy for ameliorating them.
"Instead of recommending traditional welfare-state liberalism, Goolsbee promotes programs to essentially democratize the market, protecting and where possible expanding freedom of choice, while simultaneously creating rational, self-interested incentives for individuals to participate in solving collective problems."
Still Goolsbee sees the fundamental problem at the heart of the American economy as the gulf between the superrich and the middle class.
Over the last six years, Goolsbee has said, "The typical worker had seen income grow hardly at all, while the cost of education, health care and energy have all gone up."
That is not merely a moral problem for Goolsbee and his follow-thinkers, but also a practical one, because an economy cannot flourish in a society thus constructed. And his solution, the one that will drive the economic plan of the next president of the United States, God willing, is to bridge that gulf.
"Despite Obama's reputation for grandiose rhetoric and utopian hope-mongering," says The New Republic's Noam Scheiber, "the Obamanauts aren't radicals, far from it. They're pragmatists."
The first stage of Obama's pragmatic plan was announced last week. Rep. Barney Frank, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, is already at work on an economic stimulus bill. Rep. Roy Blunt, the Republican from Missouri and House minority leader, has said he will support a stimulus plan. U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced last week that this $150 billion economic stimulus plan would help bring some movement to our paralyzed banking system and stock market.
And once the patient is out of intensive care, Obama will be able to put in motion the heart of his economic plan—the creation of a new economic engine driven by millions of new "green-collar" jobs.

Key to this plan is the restoration of trust—in the credit markets on Wall Street, and in the homes of Main Street. In strictly pragmatic terms, the return of fairness seems secondary. But it's built into the program. In Obama's view, that's the way Hamilton, Jefferson and their associates designed the American system. Without it, the economy can't function. And his plan will bring it back.

Talk:Cellebrite UFED
From ForensicsWiki
February 2009
'...Your changes to Cellebrite UFED were contrary to the nature of this wiki. The objective nature of the wiki precludes your posting of press-release quality material. I have reverted the changes and protected the page against further updates. Jessek 14:40, 17 February 2009 (UTC)...'
With all your years of experience and study you have Jesse, I would have thought that you would have worked out more diplomatic ways of find out information than to delete my entire entry - and then block me from my own page.
1. How is the page contrary when it is based on the existing .XRY page?
2. How is anything i wrote 'pre-release' if it has been released?
- I'm sorry you feel I was undiplomatic, that was not my intention. The text you posted was not 'wikified.' Wikified text means paragraphs, not just a list of bullets. It is general Wiki policy to avoid lists of bullets in favor of paragraphs of text. The .XRY page also needs to be wikified and I will take care of that shortly. (There are in fact several pages that need to be wikified. Your help in updating them would be greatly appreciated!) As for 'press-release' text (not pre-release), I meant that your language did not keep to a neutral point of view. Words like 'unique' and 'cost-effective' come off sounding like an advertisement. Although we don't have a formal policy like Wikipedia's NPOV, we are trying to keep articles neutral and unbiased. Finally, I did not block access to your page, User:Vicpirate. Cellebrite UFED is our page; it belongs to everybody on the wiki. Jessek 02:39, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
