(visited by Terje Mathisen)
23-Jul-2003 -- Coming from Sunndalsøra, I drove towards Oppdal before taking a smaller, partly unpaved, road over Nerskogen towards Grindal, then followed HW700 towards Å.
Since the first visitor told about problems finding the small private toll road towards N63E10, I stopped at the local grocery store to ask about directions, but without any luck. Following the map did however lead me to a small exit with a sign stating that GammelSætra and Holsjøen could be reached this way.
About a km along this road, I came to an unmanned toll booth: This works partly on the honor principle, in that they have a supply of envelopes, and directions for how you should put NOK 35 (about $7) in one of them, and print the car registration number on the outside, before depositing the envelope in a box.
There was an interesting problem here however, in that a pair of birds had decided that one of the two toll boxes was a nice nesting place: When I opened it to look for envelopes, I was met by 4 or 5 newly-hatched birds, all stretching their wide-open beaks towards me for some nice food.
Since I didn't have any handy supply of worms, I couldn't help them, but I did get a photo of the nest, before driving on and letting the parent birds get back to their chicks.
About halfway to Holsjøen and the end of a road I passed another self-service toll booth, this one wanted NOK 20 ($3). Another 5-10 minutes found me at final parking area, at which time the threatening rain finally started to come down in earnest.
The remaining distance to the point was 1.2 km, so I put on full orienteering gear (shoes, tights and blouse) so that I could easily handle both the rain and the always-wet marshlands that are so common in this part of Norway.
The area must be quite popular, I saw a number of nice cabins, and many good paths around the lake. Following the GPS map, I found one path that led almost to the confluence, I just had to ford a small river before locating it.
After returning to the car I drove back down to Å, and continued on to N63E9

King Abdullah II of Jordan plays a key role in Alliance of Civilizations' and related interfaith dialogue initiatives. These initiatives have a global reach. They come with a heavy price for it involves "finding the balance between free speech and religious freedom". In practice, free speech is always sacrificed. This recent headline perfectly illustrates this balance.
The Jordanian government clearly had no interest in protecting this man and it's subsequent condemnation of the killing rings hollow.
The fact that this writer's free speech is criminalized perfectly illustrates what free nations should come to expect as the United Nations' governmental structures attempt to reconcile Islam with the West through its Alliance of Civilizations and related social cohesion initiatives. President Obama joined the United States to the initiative in 2009. The AoC initiative is a key component of the U.S. global counter-terrorism strategy.
Note that Mr. Hattar was charged with inciting sectarian strife and insulting Islam. In 2005, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said during the launch of the Alliance of Civilizations initiative that no one should have the right to criticize Islam. The UN Human Rights Council promptly introduced the Defamation of Religion resolution intended to criminalize such free speech. Western nations rejected that proposal then and every time it was subsequently re-introduced. The Council changed strategy and reintroduced the resolution, this time on steroids, with a different name: Resolution 16/18. The face given the Resolution is the Istanbul Process. The Process was launched by the Organization of Islamic Co-operation (OIC) for the Islamic world, Hillary Clinton for the U.S., and High Representative Catherine Ashton for the European Union.
This is what is envisioned for the West as penned by the OIC: "The OIC has always upheld its unwavering commitment to freedom of expression but has never held back in expressing caution and concern of its misuse and abuse. Like all other rights, the right of freedom of expression is not absolute and that cannot be exploited to infringe on the rights of others or to incite violence and hatred to endanger human lives by engaging in blatant insult, denigration and mockery of the deep seated religious beliefs and symbols and personalities sacred to religions and their followers." (See Fifth OIC Observatory Report on Islamophobia)
"Any depiction of God is prohibited in Islam" and could "incite" violence.
So while the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the burning of a flag is an expression of free speech, we have yet to see whether a new Court shall follow the recommendations of the OIC and Hillary Clinton that the burning of Koran is not protected speech. I personally view actions as disgusting. Nevertheless, relinquishing our free speech rights to accommodate Islamic law or those who are thin skinned does not serve the best interests of the western world.

Veteran Sao Paulo 'keeper Rogerio Ceni has made a bit of a name for himself over the years by chiming in with over 100 goals for his club, sticking away free-kicks and penalties like it ain't no thang for the best part of 23 years now.
However, Ceni managed to stick one away at the wrong end with terrific panache against Nautico in the Campeanato on Wednesday night – coming to punch a corner clear, only to see the ball ricochet off his triangular knuckles at an almost physics-defying angle and then loop up and down over the heads of three hapless Sao Paulo defenders left agog on the goal-line…
Sao Paulo were two goals down at the time, with Ceni's own-goal putting the icing on the dog turd as Sao Paolo lost 3-0 at home.

Pop is acting really weird. Mom sat us down for the talk. Yes, Pop is acting weird. Thanks, mommeh, you're the best. Franco and I were in her room when she said, "Bakit amoy yosi?", then looks at Franco. And then she said, "Come here nga, Achi. I'll smell your hair". She hugged me and said, "It's you pala eh!". And then smiled. Anyway, she told me to try to stop. OKAY, I WILL.
The shoot was really fun! I met these amazing artists, Pao, Paul, and Kai. Okay, my hair was teased and that was the closest thing to brushing my hair. My hair and my brush (or whatever it is in sight that could try to tame my out-of-this-world hair a.k.a. a FORK) have some sort of a long-distance relationship because I brush my hair once a week. I'm serious. It's not that I do not give my hair the proper care that every single strand deserves, it's just that I'm in the state of WHO CARES. See, in highschool I brush my hair all the time, in fact, I've reached the point where I was actually seeing my hair break. OKAY. Why the fuck am I talking about my hair? Okay, the shoot was tiring but really fun! Thanks, thanks. BOW!

Or am I just too "late"?
Do you guys know Boyce Avenue? They're genius. I need to update my iPod because my songs are either way too loud or way too cute. It's two extremes like that. Their covers are cute. Jeez, I am such a LOSER. I cannot believe I've betrayed my music! Horror! No! I was possessed. Now that I think about it, they're music is gay. Ha ha. "Sweetest Girl" is cool. Ha ha.
I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST MY PROFESSOR BUT I was in class yesterday (since it's already 1:26 AM), relentlessly bored out of my mind, and I suddenly felt the urgent need to just scream. Let's just hope that Herbie isn't the type of professor who opens his Facebook (but i doubt if he has one), types his students' student number and searches for their profile. See, I think he is capable of doing that. He just tries too hard sometimes. He wrote, "YOU'RE LATE!" on the white board and under the "YOU'RE LATE" he put, "1. Ian". WHAT THE FUCK IS NEXT? "NOISY (underlined) 1. Trizia". GIVE ME A BREAK. He asks questions that are answerable by a YES or NO. So, we have two choices ONLY. If we answer correctly, he'd say this, "NAME, very good! That's... CORRECT! Let's give a round of applause to NAME..." and then claps like a proud daddeh! EH PAANO KUNG HINULAAN LANG YUN? You know the loading sign seen in the computer whenever we surf the net? He has one, only his connection is motherfrickin' dial-up yo. Ang bagal. He's slower than I am.
My brother is sweet.
Franco Lim: ish dont forget to turn off the wifi love you night
Trizia Lim: okay

It was the best trip ever! Thanks, guys. Now, that's frickin spontaneity! I have a fuckin' wound that hurts so much, but that's the mark of the whole trip. See, we attempted to break-in the only house in Enclave that has a pool. So we did our ninja/cheerleading moves to go up the walls and we got through! Except for the cross breed guard dog (half chowchow, half werewolf) that we have to get pass by, I thought we were kind of successful. BUT NO. There was no pool, that's when we decided to hit the beach at frickin' 2am! Hay nako. Talk about fun. FUN.
Guys, PLEASE take this line SERIOUSLY. What happens in Enclave, stays in Enclave. I'm sorry but we had our tv series moments. I LOVE IT.
They call me, "Fartful". Ha ha. I shouldn't share too much.
I'm 20. Ew. I cannot get over it because I feel like I have not done anything for the world to remember me by. But there will be, tons of 'em. Right now, I wanna be Georgia Nicolson. Her care-free self is what I need to be as of the moment. I don't wanna care about my Physics reporting tomorrow, I mean I'd rather care about planning on how to snog the guy of my dreams and what lipstick to use when that moment comes. I mean, COME ON. Physics or snogging? Ha ha. See, her problems are itty-bitty but when you're 20, it's a whole lot different. Does that mean if you're 20, snogging shouldn't be a problem anymore? That's a nice conclusion.
You know the scene in One Tree Hill when they had a black-out and it was raining? Lucas was over at Brooke's when Brooke got really upset with the letter that Lucas gave her. And then she runs out in the rain and Lucas run after her. They had a few sweet lines and then in the end they just kiss. UNDER THE RAIN. THAT is perfect. (I'd wear a devil-red lipstick).
"Sugar, we're going down".

Okay, I had so much fun yesterday. My 4-year-old cousin, Gela made me laugh like a hyena! She was swimming when she started shouting and pointing at my sister, Zia.
Gela: Aaaaah!
Everyone: Why? What happened?
Gela points at Zia and says: NIGHT MONSTER!!! Aaaaah!
now, THAT made my day. Ha ha. Shout out with a frickin' bullhorn to my UES! Pat was the head of my birthday brigade, I think everyone knew about it na! I love you, guys.
Pop gave me flowers and I was totally expecting it. HE is the sweetest. PLUS, he allowed me to go wild in Topshop. LOVE IT.
So, I'll be in Tagaytay with the Badets and I still haven't packed! Whew.

Anj and I went shopping awhile ago! My best buy would be my long gray halter-top dress, which hugs my non-existent boobies and my soda-can curves. Yay! I am excited for Saturday. ;) I still have not found the perfect skirt to go with the white-Katherine-Heigl top. Ang galing. I mean, the MKO style totally bailed on me. I wanna be Katherine Heigl in 27 Dresses! OKAY, stop.
Bob is the sweetest kid around, he'd IM me for my birthday countdown. Thanks, JustinBobby. Kat, thank you. Matty, I trust you but I really don't wanna click on the link. And Pau, I wasn't trying to scare you. HA HA.
Thanks, CD for the video. I am gonna cry. You are the sweetest. So far, I have 3 birthday videos. They're all soooo cool. I like laughing at myself. All single males out there, check her out HERE.
I went to Clara's and stayed there for awhile for our chi-chi time. I love Clara, she's the best white igorot in the face of the planet! I AM SINGING ON YOUR BIRTHDAY WITH A BAND!!! I'M SERIOUS! SAY IT AGAIN BY: MARIE DIGBY. Very ambitious, let's just hope you don't disown me.

I still cut Physics class even if CD told me otherwise. I went to the office with my cousins, Michelle and Ralph, and my little brother, Franco--who is out now. He's buying me a present! I didn't ask for one. He asked me last night, "Achi, what do you want for your birthday?". I said, "a hug". I was serious. Zia went home late last night and she barged into the room and said, "Achi, OH... MY... GOD... Okay, I have a surprise for you. I'm not supposed to show this to you, but I'm really excited!". She and my other cousins made a video for me. I will post it on the 25th. They're all so sweet and waaaay too excited for my birthday. I, on the other hand, am OKAY with it. I mean, HELLO, I am turning 20 and I'm nearing THE mid-life crisis stage (exaggerated a bit there), and have done nothing special for the world to remember! Maybe I should plant trees, help the poor, convince the president to admit her wrong doings about the ZTE scandal (who knows, I might be the next Lozada), and perform genocide to all the jolog-sTiCkY-CaPs-hello-poh-muzta-na-poh-u people. Hay, ang dami! But I think the last one would be more helpful, practical, and SPECIAL for the world to remember me by. All Hail MEEE! My friends would love me more, I know. Jolog season is OUT.
Where was I? (that's what you get for having Mr. Zialcita as your professor, you tend to digress a whole lot, but the digression is far more important than the main topic, believe me). So, where was I? Okay, I'm gonna stop. So, we were in the office, Kong-kong (my Lolo) wasn't there, so I sat on his chair. Wala eh, feeling Bossing. Everyone seems to be excited for my birthday and all my titas asked me what my plans are for the very special day. Blech. Wala akong plans.
Tita Dory: So, Trizia, what are your plans for Friday? Dinner tayo!
Me: No plans!
Tita Dory: Ah, 'coz your going to Baguio pala with your friends, noh?
Me: End of May pa, 'coz of the paint job.
Tita: Ah, so you're going out with your friends nalang?
Me: No rin.
Tita Dory: Ah, you have a date?
Me: Date? No!!! Wala.
Tita Donna: You have a boyfriend?
Me: No. I'm suplada eh.
Franco: Yes, tita, she is. Mahirap kausapin yan eh.
So, I've no plans. The white flag was finally waved, defeated, my mom surrendered! Ha ha. No to war, at least for now. So, the Lim household is at peace. Or ceasefire. She cried when she watched the video that Zia made for me. I cried when I watched it last night.
Ama (my Lola) is home from Egypt. I will talk about her homecoming tomorrow! It's very interesting, this Egypt trip.
OKAY. This is too long for an entry.

Happy Earth Day, everyone! Not that there's anything to love about our planet Earth. Ooh, I'm just kidding. What's not to love about the rich forests and evergreens, the clean air and water, and the love that binds us all together?
Gossip Girl Episode 14 has finally dawned. Little Miss J is finally stepping up and I'm not appreciating it. Remember, there is only ONE QUEEN B. Okay, I'm excited for the next episode because Georgina Sparks (Michelle "Nona of Pete and Pete" Trachtenberg) will ruin Serena! I think Georgina Sparks was Nate's girlfriend in the book series. In the book "I Like It Like That", Georgie was dating Nate while Blair was dating Eric (Serena's older brother).
Hugs and Kisses. Mwa! Mwa!

I have no school work to do! Yay! Okay, I've read for PolDyn already and the outline is signed and sealed already. Ahem. Since last week pa! Woah! I'm not an eager beaver to do school work. My "doing it in advance" is accidental. I FUCKIN' READ THE WRONG READING!!! But it's okaaay.
Jeez, I'm being irrelevant here.
Oh, I remembered.
You know how much I hate prank text messaging? Or random text messaging and drop calling? VERY MUCH. You can tell how JOLOG they are. Typing in random number and desperately wishing for the recipient to respond. You can tell that these people are bored with their lives and they bother people, might as well die, you know. Okay. So, this jolog of a person called me and I texted "Who's this?" Because that is what I normally do, it might be important. To better understand the situtation read the conversation (WALANG DAGDAG-BAWAS DAHIL TAPOS NA ANG ELEKSYON):
me: Who's this?
0923-jologme: .Im albert.Pwd mkepag frnd
me: NO
0923-jologme: .Tga asa d, i u
me: WHO THE FUCK IS THIS?
0923-jologme: .,hala ana d,i u.
0923-jologme CALLED
I answered: HELLO, WHO THE FUCK IS THIS?
0923-jologme: ,y man.,hnd y gs2 mkepag frnd aku
me: STOP BOTHERING ME. GO BOTHER SOMEONE ELSE. YOU'RE SUCH A LOWLY CREATURE, TEXT MESSAGING RANDOM PEOPLE. IF YOU'RE TOO DESPERATE LOOKING FOR A FRIEND THROUGH TEXT, JUST KILL YOURSELF. STOP CALLING ME.
0923-jologme: an sunget muh nmn. cge d nko matex or col. thnx 4 d tym.
I'd normally not respond to these people. KADIRE. But I figured it's Sun Cellular-- even though Sun has its wonders, there are downsides too, hence this lowly creature, this person would text and call like a million times. I made him/her realize that s/he has no worth and leaving this world would be a great idea. ANG SAMA KO PERO PUTA, I HAD A BAD DAY AND THIS DEFINITELY DID NOT MAKE IT BETTER. PUTANGINA KA, NAPAKA-JOLOG MO.

"Saving Sarah Cain" by Michael Landon, Jr. made me cry like a baby. Five Amish children lost their mother and none of them is of legal age. The only living relative that they have is their mother's sister Sarah Cain, a writer from Portland who incidentally have writer's block for quite sometime, and an "outsider" (non-Amish). She decides to bring the children to Portland with her but then the sudden change of surroundings made it even hard for the children to cope with the loss of their mother. AND THEN... WATCH NALANG! Lisa Pepper reminds me of Ms. J. Aniston. Watch it, watch it. It's also good that I read a book about the Amish people before. Just watch. And cry your heart out.

And three months. Ces is back for a visit to the most polluted country, The Philippines. Ang bilis, but we missed you. I missed Eka, Con, and Laverne (who brought Rachel. I've got to say, she is nice) too. I just got home from a very late dinner at Italiannis, High Street. I'm never gonna be mean to Laverne anymore because I love her no matter what. Whoops, sorry Con and I were late, trust me, naiinip rin ako sa akin dahil ang bagal ko kumilos.
My courageous attempt to go MKO tonight miserably pulled me and flushed me down the drain. MKO's style does not suit me because wearing big-ass clothes look really well on skinny girls ONLY. I am NOT skinny, so... JUST IMAGINE: Ninang. That was how I described myself tonight. But, thank the Holy Lord for friends who do not bash me despite my tendencies to go for the awesome Ninang-look.
I missed you, guys. I love you with all the cartwheels and handstands in the world.
Flip (because everybody says "Bounce").
Thanks to those who commented and to those who texted me. Like I always say, "thank you, it's another one of my social suicides BUT I'd do anything for my sister". She will be the next break-through editor. SALUTE!

Okay, so Zia has finally found her true talent. She has been editing videos, mostly of her. To keep myself awake and to help her with her soon-to-be profession, we've got this video as a result. Nikole helped out, too. So, please leave a comment or post a message on the tagboard. Tell me what you think of the directing and editing. Do not mind the bad acting, joke time lang yan.
Zia is 13 years old. So don't be too harsh. Oh, I apologize for the poor video quality. I had to minimize the file size so that I could post it up here because I am not planning to post it in Multiply. Zia has the video (yes, the high-quality video) posted in her Multiply site. Or click HERE.

Kamille Untalan: Parang moon.
Angela Villavicencio: Parang crater.
Trizia Lim: Parang may rocks.
Okay, never mind. I have just woken up from my nap. Funny, 'coz I woke up for dinner, ate, and then slept again. See, I still have the time to hibernate despite my "busy" schedule. I want to drop Physics.
Zia has, or should i say HAD, pet rabbits. "Kone" and "Ho" (for Kuneho). Those are just tacky names for rabbits; it's like naming identical twins, "Ta" and "Oh". Kadire. Holy Mother of Bees, what the hell was she thinking? But it was benta naman--AND I got the weird sense of blessing them with names like that. So, Ho (the good rabbit) died after two days, I cried. I felt like we had a connection. I remembered my pet rabbits (both did not die at such a young age, I've actually manage to take care of them until they were old and have decided to leave this cruel world), Chumper and Thumper, I had them when I was 7. I taught them circus acts. Thanks to me, they have mustered the act of the ultimate rope balancing act. Kone (the masamang damo), who tried to bite me while I was carrying (or torturing) him. Son of a gun! So this morning, I found him resting with his eyes open. What joy! I even took a photo of him. I am so mean, but think about it, I was NICE to him, I even carried the stinky fluff and what did I get? His two enormous front teeth gnawing at my index finger. Okay, I exaggerated.
Rest in peace, Kone. I forgive you. On a much lighter note, there are still rabbits in the house. "Betty" and "Veronica" belongs to cousin Ralph.

I'm never going to sleep at 5:00 am again, Nate and Blair kept me up, I swear I couldn't stop reading the Gossip Girl prequel. I only had two hours of sleep awhile ago, so much for getting a head start for summer classes. It was a wrong move considering that PolDyn lasts for three hours and first meetings aren't excluded from it. I cut Physics, I'm sorry. Ha ha. I hope I get the part because I have waited long enough at Proville that I felt like I was there for 10 months. I'm fat and short like Penelope and standing in between two gorgeous models did not help me in impressing the clients. NO. So have mercy.
My cousins are here! I love them. Drinks and fags at the balcony. THIS IS THE LIFE.
Cheerios (because everybody says "Cheers").

Nothing beats eating tuna out of the can with its delectable oil dripping out of my mouth. See, there IS a Penelope in me. It is so distinct that I do not deem it as funny and cute anymore. Blech. FAAAAT.
Classes will officially start in 5 hours and 29 minutes and I'm still up. Wide awake as an owl. I am feeling a bit obsessive-compulsive about my sentence outlline on... GET READY... "Social Power and its Political Form". I have been editing it for an hour now and I would like to think that I have succeeded because I was able to narrow it down to three frickin' pages. Awhile back, it was four pages. Walang aangal, one page rin ang nabawas. I am hoping for a 1.75 on it (kapal), but my professor is the dean so, I wanna make a good, first impression since--this is old news and I have been ranting about it for a year, most of my professors feel that I do not look like frickin' Pol.Eco student. I am slightly nervous for the quiz tomorrow. It's supposed to test our understanding and reading comprehension and God knows how much I suck at both! Phew. Ha ha.
I am still NOT sleepy, so I guess I just have to re-read my annotations again, yes? WOAH, tunring over a new leaf na talaga ako. Bakit ngayon lang, eh? EWAN.
Ciao, amigos. Mwa! Mwa!

I am flattered as a pancake (WHAT?). Thanks, Kam Untalan! She wrote a blog entitled, "Thank You, Ish", I am glad. See, Kam and I were at the smarea yesterday. I got this from her blog:
This afternoon, Ish and I were talking at the smarea. The conversation I had with her brought back some of the best and worst memories. And I have to thank her for that. I have to thank her because it felt good to have someone to talk to, to revive everything I felt. Those "times" were one of the best times I had. And the bad feelings I felt that time and I was made to feel again were the worst. But then, the bad things I used to feel helped me realize a shitload of things.
"Forget the past. Don't doubt. Risk it, it's the only way you'll know." Thank you, Trizia Lim. Of all the people I've talked to, you were the only one who encouraged me to take another risk despite everything. You don't know how happy I feel to hear that from someone. Kammie loves youuuuuuuuuuuu!
Ish loves you too!
Okay. So, I can't believe that I am in that point where I can give that kind of advice to a friend. I mean, I don't have the most exciting love life, let alone have or be in one. People should learn to scratch the idea of having THE PERFECT RELATIONSHIP. There isn't one.
Okay, okay. I have to read for PolDyn. ON A SATURDAAAAY, motherfucker.

Since I won't be able to make it to the beach with my friends tomorrow, I am compensating for the "not-being-able-to-go" by creating my second post (yes! Second post in a span of, um, a few hours) which primarily talks about my highschool barkada. WOW. Okay, what can i say about those bitches? Okaynevermind. Ha ha.
These are my sisters, I love them to death and they will be at the beach tomorrow. They would probably: go surfing, hunt for some man-meat, drink til one (or two, I'm betting on Laverne and Kandee, since matibay ang mga tiyan ni Shai at Karla) drops, and/or miss their sweetcakes, Ish Lim, of course!
Always in my heart, all of you. I'm gonna cry soon enough. Miss me or die!
Many love for each one of you.

okay, so I've decided to ditch my now-old blog because of so many reasons. Well, for one, I have so many nonsensical posts--most of which I dare not go back to, ever. Another thing is that I'm tired of it and it's given me nothing but a headache, especially when I go through my previous blogs. And LASTLY, I have decided to turn over a new leaf and start anew, because I am a bigger person now. I don't mean it literally, you fools (who the fuck am I talking to? My "readers"? Ha ha, I do not have any here or there). So, even if it kills me to let go of my old blog, that again, no one visits (I'm bitter as an over-ripe fruit), I have finally found the courage to ditch the old me and my old life (wow! Life ang blog. ULOL.). Anyhow, I am begging for comments as I do not KNOW the whereabouts of blogger; I do not even know if I should put a tagboard here. So, there! Expect something more mature from me now. This is actually something to look forward to when I get home from school.
Do they have like a friend list here? (Excuse the newbie)

Nosocomial pneumonia caused by Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-susceptible and -resistant strains), or Streptococcus pneumonia Complicated skin and skin structure infections, including diabetic foot infections, without concomitant osteomyelitis, caused by Staphylococcus aureus Streptococcus pyogenes, or Streptococcus agalactiae. This drug has not been studied in the treatment of decubitus ulcers. Uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes. Community-acquired pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pneumonia including cases with concurrent bacteremia, or Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-susceptible strains only). To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of Linezolid and other antibacterial drugs, Linezolid should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.
contraindicated for use in patients who have known hypersensitivity to linezolid or any of the other product components. Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors Linezolid should not be used in patients taking any medicinal product which inhibits monoamine oxidases A or B (e.g., phenelzine, isocarboxazid) or within two weeks of taking any such medicinal product. Potential Interactions Producing Elevation of Blood Pressure Unless patients are monitored for potential increases in blood pressure, linezolid should not be administered to patients with uncontrolled hypertension, pheochromocytoma, thyrotoxicosis and/or patients taking any of the following types of medications: directly and indirectly acting sympathomimetic agents (e.g., pseudoephedrine), vasopressive agents (e.g., epinephrine, norepinephrine), dopaminergic agents (e.g., dopamine, dobutamine) Interactions). Potential Serotonergic Interactions Unless patients are carefully observed for signs and/or symptoms of serotonin syndrome, linezolid should not be administered to patients with carcinoid syndrome and/or patients taking any of the following medications: serotonin re-uptake inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, serotonin 5-HT1 receptor agonists (triptans), meperidine or buspirone.
Adverse reactions:
is well tolerated and the adverse events were described as mild to moderate in intensity. The most common adverse events were diarrhea, headache, and nausea, the other adverse events were include oral moniliasis, vaginal moniliasis, hypertension, dyspepsia, localized abdominal pain, pruritus, and tongue discoloration.
Monoamine Oxidase Inhibition: Linezolid is a reversible, nonselective inhibitor of monoamine oxidase. Therefore, linezolid has the potential for interaction with adrenergic and serotonergic agents. Adrenergic Agents: Some individuals receiving Linezolid may experience a reversible enhancement of the pressor response to indirect-acting sympathomimetic agents, vasopressor or dopaminergic agents. Commonly used drugs such as phenylpropanolamine and pseudoephedrine have been specifically studied. Initial doses of adrenergic agents, such as dopamine or epinephrine, should be reduced and titrated to achieve the desired response. Serotonergic Agents: Co-administration of linezolid and serotonergic agents was not associated with serotonin syndrome in Phase 1, 2 or 3 studies. Spontaneous reports of serotonin syndrome associated with co-administration of Linezolid and serotonergic agents, including antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), have been reported. Patients who are treated with Linezolid and concomitant serotonergic agents should be closely observed as described in the PRECAUTIONS, General Section. Strong CYP450 Inducers: In a study in healthy volunteers, co-administration of rifampin with oral linezolid resulted in a 21% decrease in linezolid Cmax and a 32% decrease in linezolid AUC0-12. The clinical significance of this interaction is unknown. Other strong inducers of hepatic enzymes (e.g. carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital) could cause a similar or smaller decrease in linezolid exposure.
General Lactic Acidosis Lactic acidosis has been reported with the use of Linezolid. In reported cases, patients experienced repeated episodes of nausea and vomiting. Patients who develop recurrent nausea or vomiting, unexplained acidosis, or a low bicarbonate level while receiving Linezolid should receive immediate medical evaluation. Serotonin Syndrome Spontaneous reports of serotonin syndrome associated with the co-administration of Linezolid and serotonergic agents, including antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), have been reported ). Where administration of Linezolid and concomitant serotonergic agents is clinically appropriate, patients should be closely observed for signs and symptoms of serotonin syndrome such as cognitive dysfunction, hyperpyrexia, hyperreflexia and incoordination. If signs or symptoms occur physicians should consider discontinuation of either one or both agents. If the concomitant serotonergic agent is withdrawn, discontinuation symptoms can be observed ) for a description of the associated discontinuation symptoms). Peripheral and Optic Neuropathy Peripheral and optic neuropathy have been reported in patients treated with Linezolid, primarily those patients treated for longer than the maximum recommended duration of 28 days. In cases of optic neuropathy that progressed to loss of vision, patients were treated for extended periods beyond the maximum recommended duration. Visual blurring has been reported in some patients treated with Linezolid for less than 28 days. If patients experience symptoms of visual impairment, such as changes in visual acuity, changes in color vision, blurred vision, or visual field defect, prompt ophthalmic evaluation is recommended. Visual function should be monitored in all patients taking Linezolid for extended periods (? 3 months) and in all patients reporting new visual symptoms regardless of length of therapy with Linezolid. If peripheral or optic neuropathy occurs, the continued use of Linezolid in these patients should be weighed against the potential risks. Convulsions have been reported in patients when treated with linezolid. In some of these cases, a history of seizures or risk factors for seizures was reported. The use of antibiotics may promote the overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms. Should superinfection occur during therapy, appropriate measures should be taken. ZYVOX has not been studied in patients with uncontrolled hypertension, pheochromocytoma, carcinoid syndrome, or untreated hyperthyroidism. The safety and efficacy of ZYVOX formulations given for longer than 28 days have not been evaluated in controlled clinical trials. Prescribing ZYVOX in the absence of a proven or strongly suspected bacterial infection or a prophylactic indication is unlikely to provide benefit to the patient and increases the risk of the development of drug-resistant bacteria.

DA: Death of missing man ruled homicide
Victim disappeared before Thanksgiving
The Dauphin County coroner said the death of a missing man has been ruled homicide.
The body of Marcus Garner, 37, was found about 5 p.m. Wednesday by a neighbor in a vacant garage at 616 N. 18th St. near Reservoir Park.
Garner suffered a gunshot wound to his head, the coroner said.
Police confirmed his identity by comparing a photograph to the body.
The coroner said he does not know how long Garner has been dead. Harrisburg police said they think he has been dead for at least 10 days.
Police were back at the scene Thursday searching for clues.
Garner was well known, so police hope it will help them solve his murder.
Police have not named any suspects in the case.
Harrisburg police said they are puzzled by how Garner's body ended up in the building. The coroner said he is not sure where Garner was shot.
Garner had been missing since before Thanksgiving. A family member said he leaves behind a wife and four children.
"We can't give a time line at this point, so anybody who has seen him, I need the most contemporary date," said the Dauphin County coroner.

Very wonderful recipe with a very simple taste. I did change a couple things. First when the carrots and potatoes were cooking the 1 cup of water evaporated very quickly, even with a lid on the pan. I ended up having to add 3 cups total while the veggies were cooking just to have a little less then 1 cup veggie juice left over which is essential to help with the pureeing of the veggies when done. As far as the change in ingredients go I ended adding 6 garlic cloves total, I reduced the milk to 2 cups and upped the 1/2 & 1/2 to 2 cups. I think adding all the milk this recipe calls for would just make the soup too watery and I want the soup to be on the thicker side because there is no chucks or veggies/pasta in it. The onions may seem like a lot but it wasn't at all. So if you're a die hard carrot lover you definitely need to make this recipe, it was surprisingly very filling and the mild taste was just wonderful.

N° 5–2010: Media opportunity: ESA presents European participants in 520-day simulated mission to Mars
12 March 2010
A crew of six, including two Europeans, will soon begin a simulated mission to Mars in a mockup that includes an interplanetary spaceship, a Mars lander and a martian landscape. The Mars500 experiment, as long as a real journey to Mars, will be second to none as the ultimate test of human endurance.
Four ESA-selected Europeans, Belgian Jerome Clevers, Arc'hanmael Gaillard and Romain Charles from France and Colombian–Italian Diego Urbina, started the mission training at the end of February with the other crew-members at the Russian Institute of Biomedical Problems (IBMP) in Moscow. Two of these four candidates will be selected as European participants in Mars500. This first full-duration simulated mission to Mars will start in a special human habitat at IBMP in Moscow next summer.
The Mars500 name comes from the blueprint for a possible human Mars mission in the future using conventional propulsion: 250 days for the trip to Mars, 30 days on the martian surface and 240 days for the return journey, totalling 520 days.
Apart from the technical challenges, the big question on a long mission to Mars is the human factor: how best to select and prepare humans to mentally and physically endure a spaceflight of at least one and half years – possibly much longer – in a closed environment, seeing the same faces, under constant stress and isolated from family and friends on Earth.
The European candidates who will help to answer these fundamental questions will be presented to the media on 22 March 2010 at ESA's European Space Research and Technology Centre in Noordwijk, the Netherlands. Media representatives wishing to attend the event are kindly requested to fill in the attached accreditation form and return it by fax to the ESA Headquarters Media Relations Office by 18 March 2010.

Extensive preparations
The upcoming 520-day isolation study is the key part of the Mars500 programme that began back in 2007. The first phase in November 2007 was a 14-day simulation that mainly tested the facilities and operational procedures. The second phase followed in 2009, when four Russian and two European crew-members were shut into the facility for 105 days on 31 March. One of the current European candidates, Arc'hanmael Gaillard, was a member of the backup crew for that 105-day study.
During the long-duration experiment, the crew will be hermetically isolated in a confined habitat with limited consumables and communication only via the internet, occasionally disrupted and with a 20-minute delay, as for a real Mars mission owing to the distance between the spacecraft and Earth. The crew will be monitored and their psychological, medical and physical signs recorded throughout the mission. This will benefit the technical development and operational planning of long-duration human exploration missions in the future.
The Mars500 experiment is being conducted by Russia's Institute of Biomedical Problems (IBMP) with extensive participation by ESA. ESA's Directorate of Human Spaceflight is undertaking Mars500 as part of its European Programme for Life and Physical Sciences (ELIPS) to prepare for future human missions to the Moon and Mars.
The facility is located on the IBMP site in Moscow, in a special building that houses the isolation unit and the operations control centre, technical services and offices. The isolation facility comprises four hermetically sealed interconnected habitat modules, along with an external module for simulating the martian surface. The total interior volume of the modules is 550 cubic metres.
Living like astronauts on the ISS
The European candidates started their training in Moscow for the isolation experiment on 25 February with their Russian and Chinese counterparts. Finally, six of them, two from Europe, three from Russia and potentially also one from China, will form a crew that will spend about 520 days (possibly even up to 700) in a mockup. The candidates have been selected like astronauts on criteria such as education, professional experience, medical fitness and social habits. They all speak Russian and English and have experience in medicine, engineering, biology and information technology.
During the simulated Mars 'surface operations' after 250 days, the crew will be divided up: three will move to the martian surface simulator and three will remain in the orbiting 'spacecraft'. The external hatch will be closed for a month. The crewmembers on the 'surface' will also do spacewalks wearing modified Russian Orlan spacesuits.
The crew will have all the food stored inside the habitat needed for the whole duration of the experiment, so they will have to ration their supplies for the entire time. The diet will be identical to that of the crews on the International Space Station (ISS). Tasks performed by the crew are identical to those of the ISS astronauts: operations, maintenance, scientific experiments and daily exercise. They will work shifts within a seven-day week with two days off, except when special and emergency situations are simulated.
This mission might lack some of the glory and feeling of the real flight, but it is just as tough and will yield a lot of experience for the future. The first humans to walk on Mars will surely remember these pioneers.

[Chorus: Emanny]
Ever felt like the World's on your back and you need some love say AYO
And it's hard to keep your life intact while they holdnig yo back, scream AYO
When enough is enough and it feels like
No matter what you do, nothing ever goes right
If you feel like me, let me here you say AYO
[Verse 1: Joe Budden]
Nah, it ain't pills
So if I ain't myself as of late it relates to another ordeal
Don't suggest out ya mouth that maybe I'm stressed out or it's God tryna test Mouse
Everything about me is changing and it's new to me
I'm 29 going through a new puberty
Unusually the niggas that make moves take cues from me and say that I'm acting real foolishly
Well let me just explain my state
I'm thinking at whole nother rate
I hungry but I'm ordering with my eyes so there's too much on my plate
Which means I can't digest what I just ate
Wait, I'm paying too much, stop me or pop me for oxy?
I'm not me, will somebody stop me or copy
And tell calm down nigga, relax
I tell em calm down let me relapse
[Chorus: Emanny]
[Verse 2: Joe Budden]
Yo, they telling me, the change is significant
Standing in the front but can't see what they witnessing
I'm tryna take criminals, litigants, goon type niggas and turn em into business men
Change thinking patterns, give em business sense
Make 'em model citizens, hang me if it's a sin
Watch the cash come, patience I'm past
I'm tryna create demand for a girl who never had none
Be more bright, you fighting me all night
We'll if I died tomorrow I'm a make sure you be alright
Turn students in to teachers, followers to leaders
But I strain my arm the further I try to reach it
Don't mis-read it, I ain't book smart but let's stay on the same page, let me be the bookmark
I know more, I can't take no more so I show more
I kill me so you can have anything you hope for
[Chorus: Emanny]
[Verse 3: Joe Budden]
Ay, you ever try pulling a hat trick without magic
Shit, I'm doing outta habit, it's outta habit
Cause I'll flair up, high temper I'll react quick
And go and try to fist fight a nigga without a ratchet
It's funny, we all go and ask for wealth
But won't none of us, ask for help
Well maybe I need to get some
And I'm like fuck giving nigga's a fish
Follow me and I'm a teach you how to get one
Still they tell me I'm delusional
But there's other niggas under this illusion too
It's Karma catching up and mis-using dudes
I can't think straight, look at what confusion'll do
So I sink my knees in the floor
Gotta be something new gotta be in store?
I make bored outta bad hand
Trust me I got an exact plan
I'm a genius not a mad man

[Warning: This story contains major spoilers from Thursday's season premiere of Parks and Recreation. Read at your own risk!]
Parks and Recreation kicked off its sixth season with a whirlwind wedding. Yup, Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman) got married — again!
The premiere picked up just moments after last year's finale, in which Diane (Lucy Lawless) went to Ron's office to break the news that she was pregnant. It takes Ron less than 20 seconds after finding out she's carrying his child before he asks her to be his wife. The proposal and impromptu wedding then happens within the first four minutes of the premiere, as the duo heads upstairs to get their marriage license and then tie the knot right there in the office.
Parks and Recreation cast teases five big moments in Season 6
"I was surprised in so far as it's the opposite of how a TV show usually handles a wedding with one of its main characters, because that's a topic and subject matter from which much, much, much dairy product can be milked," Offerman tells TVGuide.com. "At the same time, I just laughed immediately at [executive producer] Mike Schur's ability to turn expectations on their ear every time."
But Ron's wedding was also very true to the character. (There's even a joke in the premiere about the officiant having overseen one of his past quickie weddings.) "We had spoken last year about different ideas about Ron's wedding," he says. "To see that the writers had boiled it down in a crucible of comedy to the fastest possible, most utilitarian wedding — 'Let's do this right now, let's go upstairs and get our card stamped' — with the absolutely most minimal amount of romance, which is the most romantic possibility to both Ron and Diane, I was over the moon. I laughed long and hard."
Parks and Recreation Season 6 Scoop: How will Leslie handle the recall?
Last season, Lawless signed on for a short guest stint as a potential love interest for Ron Swanson. Her character was meant to be the exact opposite of his past failed relationships with his various Tammys (Offerman's real-life wife Megan Mullally and Patricia Clarkson).
"The relationship was conceived with the idea that we've seen how Ron fails in his relationship choices. What if we put him in a situation he might succeed?" Offerman says. "He'd be given the chance to actually have a real relationship instead of these manic trysts with his assorted Tammys. We knew there was the potential for it to go somewhere, but at the time, we didn't know where it would be going."
Now Ron has another wife, who masterfully made a Tammy reference during their wedding when she joked it was her middle name. As long as they don't name their first child Tammy, this couple will do just fine.
What did you think of Ron's impromptu wedding?
Parks and Recreation airs Thursdays at 8/7c on NBC.

A little while back I posted asking for topic feedback for my stint as a guest poster for Virile while he was soaking up the sunshine in the tropics. Well, I am still jealous…but I've also finished my first post in the series: What's the Rush? Another look at Druid Haste.
I just wanted to give those of you that posted asking questions a head's up that you can venture over to Rejuvo and find the post 🙂 If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to leave them over at Rejuvo or send them to me via email, and I will do my best to get to answering them!
Ahem *embarrassed* ah…also…I am so proud of my very first photoshop efforts (with a lot of help from Lash!), that, um…I wanted to shamelessly send everyone over to go look at it, in case you might not have seen it already! (/blush). Yes! I actually photoshopped! Glee! 🙂

Whenever shopping, it's imperative to look into age of the beneficiary personality a primary concern. A baby is generally between 1 to 3 years of age while a youthful child is whom the age is between 3 to 5. These are really the times of investigation and play. Helpless and sensitive aren't in their vocabulary and word. So they require a toy they're ready to utilize their energetic creative ability with, which they can withstand on a fall.
Dolls with extremely modest parts could be a stifling hazard and must be abstained. All pieces encased with the doll must be expansive and solid, in this way skilled to be irrefutably played with.
There are many great reborn dolls for little kids accessible nowadays however, sorts that meet the "little kid" manages totally. Reborn or real dolls needs to look normal, for example, Reborn dolls, in light of the fact that the tyke is starting to recognize physical appearances. It ought to be intuitive or adaptable from once kid's close to home control, as opposed to proceed onward its own. It must be convenient and simply the ideal size to be conveyed in minimal one's little arms. Frill must be straightforward and simple yet strong.

Doll devotees think of them as valuable and a few of the dolls are expected particularly for gatherers.

Every doll exhibited here is energetically molded and composed with novel and exceptional components and identity. You'll surely begin to look all starry eyed at them.

A spacecraft launched from Russia last Wednesday and originally destined for Mars has yet to leave Earth orbit – and looks increasingly likely to tumble back to Earth over the next several weeks.
The craft, Phobos-Grunt (Phobos Soil), was to have traveled to Mars' moon Phobos to gather and return to Earth samples of the moon's soil and rocks. But once the craft reached Earth orbit, motors in the rocket stage that would have set Phobos-Grunt on its path to the red planet failed to ignite.
Engineers with Roscomsos, the Russian Federation Space Agency, have tried to communicate with the craft in hopes of igniting the motors before changes to the orbits of Earth and Mars close the window of opportunity over the next few days.
But according to updates on the website RussianSpaceWeb.com, all attempts have failed so far. If efforts to send the mission on its way fail, the craft – brimming with a load of toxic fuel in tanks that potentially could survive reentry – could reenter Earth's atmosphere at the end of the month.
Russia's travails serve as a fresh reminder that space exploration is hard.
"That's why it's called rocket science," says Ralph McNutt, chief scientist at the Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Md., and the project scientist for NASA's Messenger mission, whose spacecraft currently is orbiting Mercury.
It's a point not lost on Mars-mission planners at NASA, who are preparing to launch the $2.5-billion Mars Science Laboratory Nov. 25.
Phobos-Grunt and the Mars Science Laboratory represent the most ambitious Mars-exploration missions to date for their respective space agencies.
The lab is a 1-ton rover loaded with instruments to analyze Martian rocks and soil within a vast feature dubbed Gale Crater. Although the rover isn't designed to hunt for life, it will be hunting for organic compounds that would help determine whether the planet had conditions that could have supported life.
In one sense, the world's space agencies have a success rate at the Mars-mission plate that major-league ball players would envy. Since 1960, when the then-Soviet Union launched the first mission to the red planet, which failed, 35 launches by four nations have amassed a .329 average, based on NASA's tabulation of international Mars launches.
But that average masks a wide disparity in success rates among the four.
With the apparent failure of Phobos-Grunt, Russia is 0 for 17 attempts since 1960 at a mix of Mars flybys, orbiters, and landers.
Japan, which launched a Mars orbiter in 1998, is 0 for 1. Europe, with its inaugural Mars Express/Beagle 2 orbiter-lander combo, is 0.5 for 1 at the red planet. Launched in 2003, the duo reached Mars. The orbiter has been a science success, and its mission has been extended to 2014. But the lander was declared lost after repeated attempts to contact it failed following its December 2003 descent to the surface.
NASA, meanwhile, has enjoyed 11 successful Mars missions out of 16 launched since 1964, including flybys, orbiters, and rovers.
It's easy to get used to those successes, but they are far from assured.
Designing craft for interplanetary travel means tailoring its systems to function for years in an environment far different from the conditions craft encounter in Earth orbit, where designers have far more experience, Dr. McNutt says.
Flitting between Earth and anywhere else exposes a craft and its sensitive electronics to the potentially disruptive effects of cosmic rays.
Pick your destination and you will encounter much different contrasts in temperatures the craft must endure, compared with conditions at Earth. Think the Voyager spacecraft at the far edges of the solar system versus the Messenger mission orbiting Mercury.
Indeed, the combination of the vacuum of space and temperature can be a mission-ender, he says, citing NASA's Mariner 3 mission as an example.
Launched in 1964, it was the US's first attempt at a Mars flyby. But the craft ultimately failed, felled by the combined effects of vacuum and temperature – something for which it was not tested prior to launch. Engineers conducted vacuum and temperature tests separately.
The failure led to the development of test chambers that could replicate both conditions simultaneously, McNutt says.
In the end, engineers tend to lay awake nights worrying not as much about the systems they've checked a dozen times as the so-called unknown unknowns – serendipitous combinations of system failures that can tank a mission but only become slap-the-forehead moments after they happen.
Even then, clever engineers can often devise work-arounds. McNutt cites NASA's highly successful Galileo mission to Jupiter as an example. During Galileo's cruise phase, engineers commanded the craft's high-gain antenna to unfurl. This was the antenna the craft would use to beam large volumes of data from the science instruments to salivating mission scientists back on Earth.
But the antenna failed to deploy. Speculation regarding the cause centered on the antenna's lubricants evaporating en route to Jupiter.
During the craft's seven-year cruise to Jupiter, engineers were able to compensate by reprogramming the craft's computers to compress the data and by installing more sensitive receivers at tracking stations on the ground. This allowed the team to use the orbiter' less-capable low-gain antenna both for keeping track of the spacecraft's health and for returning research data.
When it comes to the Russian space program, it clearly has had significant successes, McNutt notes. In human spaceflight, the country is providing reasonably reliable transportation for US and Russian crews to and from the International Space Station (ISS) as a bridge to US commercial crew flights to low-Earth orbit expected later this decade.
And while US planetary scientists have struggled to come up with a cost-effective mission to explore Venus, Russian missions to the second rock from the sun "have knocked the ball out of the park," he says. "Most of what we know about the surface of Venus comes from Russian data."
Which makes Russia's 0-fer at Mars a puzzle. The physics involved in getting there are the same, regardless of flag. Russia has a stable of reliable rockets. And Russian engineers are likely to be just as motivated to succeed as any other county's rocketeers.
McNutt speculates that the challenges revolve largely around money and priority. Since the end of the cold war, Russia's space program has struggled for cash, prompting its entrepreneurial foray into space tourism, for instance. US purchases of seats on Soyuz capsules to and from the space station represent another source of badly needed revenue.
Tight budgets not only reduce the number, if not the ambition, of space-exploration missions. They can also shrink investments in the engineering infrastructure needed to support the design and construction of new space probes that do receive approval, McNutt explains, recalling the Mariner 3 failure.
Phobos-Grunt reportedly was using a usually reliable upper stage for putting the craft in its trajectory to Mars. But the stage reportedly had been modified for the mission, potentially turning a less-expensive, off-the-shelf solution into an inadvertent prototype.
As for NASA's Mars Science Lab? Landing will be a thrill. The mission is using an approach for putting a rover on Mars NASA has never used before. No air bags; the rover is too big and heavy. Instead, the lander wears its descent module like an exhaust-spewing cap.
When the module descends to about 25 feet above the surface, the module will lower a bridle carrying the lander, much like a Sikorsky Skycrane helicopter lowers cargo while hovering. Once the lander's wheels touch down, the bridle's tethers are released, the descent module rockets away from the lander, and the lander is free to roam.
The approach was dictated by the rover's size and weight, explained Pete Theisinger, the mission's project manager, during a recent press briefing to preview the launch.
The lab is too big and heavy for air bags, and driving it off a descent module underneath the rover would be cumbersome and complicate.
"That would be a daunting, daunting thing to do," he said.
The various components that make up the system have been thoroughly tested, he said. But he acknowledged that the package hasn't been tested as an integrated system.
"We've done our due diligence. Mars may interfere with us, or there may be something we haven't caught" he continued. "But to the extent we've been able to think of it, we've attacked all the problems and done all the testing we can do."
Here's to a well-lubricated tether release.

Here's some highlights from a recent review of 'A Little Bit Country' – "That's the genial genius of this little film from Amy Coop: treating a silly subject with deadpan drama, it becomes about so much more than it seems. Handsomely shot, A Little Bit Country effectively channels professional productions into this pristine passion project. Expertly spread across just seven minutes, it's a film that understands perfectly how to play its cards, emphasising awkwardness to bait a final sweet reveal. 74/100″ – Ronan Murphy, NextProjection.com

Yet another enterprise cloud software company, Workday, is all set to go public today. It has raised $637 million, by selling close to 22.8 million shares for $28 each. It will have a public float of around 14% after the IPO. It will be listed on the NYSE with the ticker "WDAY", and currently has a valuation of $4.5 billion.
Workday's primary offering is a cloud-based financial management and human resource management solution, which is used by more than 340 enterprise clients.
It generated close to $120 million in revenue in the first six months of 2012, but is yet to turn a profit.
While most consumer internet IPOs in the last couple of years have floundered, enterprise software companies have seen a warm reception at the public markets. Companies like Palo Alto Networks and Splunk have performed much better than the likes of Facebook, Zynga or Groupon.
Workday competes primarily with the likes of Oracle, SAP and Salesforce.com. As the cloud wars heat up, Workday might even end up being a hot acquisitiont target for one of the biggies.

Dear Sister Madaline:
This I think will be my last letter to you from U.S. Soil. I sent home for $10 but up to now I did not receive it. I have all my letters ready to send to you all stating that I arrived safe in France. I do not mail them until I board the transport. Our company is on guard today but some how I missed it. I really do not know what else to write about except that take good care of pa and Bob.
I am
Your Loving Brother
