Carboplatin Injection by Hospira
DIN (Drug Identification Number)
How does this medication work? What will it do for me?
Carboplatin belongs to the group of cancer-fighting medications known as antineoplastics, and specifically to the group of antineoplastics known as platinum-containing compounds. Carboplatin prevents the growth of cancer cells by interfering with the genetic material DNA, which is necessary for reproduction of cells. Carboplatin is usually used to treat a particular type of cancer of the ovaries.
Your doctor may have suggested this medication for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. As well, some forms of this medication may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are using this medication, speak to your doctor. Do not stop using this medication without consulting your doctor.
Do not give this medication to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take this medication if their doctor has not prescribed it.
What form(s) does this medication come in?
Each mL of sterile aqueous solution contains carboplatin 10 mg. Nonmedicinal ingredients: none. Preservative-free.
How should I use this medication?
The recommended dose varies according to body size or kidney function.
Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
Carboplatin is given as an intravenous (into the vein) injection. This medication is most often given as a single injection (given over 15 to 60 minutes) and may be repeated after at least 4 weeks depending on response. Your doctor may decide on a dosage schedule different from that described here.

Carboplatin Injection by Hospira may deplete magnesium
How can this nutrient deficiency affect me?
Magnesium is a nutrient important to the body's metabolism, energy production, and detoxification. It also is involved in the production of some hormones as well as healthy bones and teeth. Magnesium helps to control blood pressure and maintain heart health.
What can I do about this?
Talk to your pharmacist about magnesium deficiency. Magnesium is available in supplement form. Before starting any nutrient supplement, always talk with your pharmacist first.
Are there any other precautions or warnings for this medication?
Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health. These factors may affect how you should use this medication.
Blood clotting: This medication can reduce the number of platelet cells in the blood. Platelets help the blood to clot, and a shortage could make you bleed more easily. Tell your doctor of any signs that your blood is not clotting as quickly. Such symptoms may include black and tarry stools, blood in the urine, easy bruising, or cuts that won't stop bleeding.
Infection: As well as killing cancer cells, this medication can reduce the number of cells that fight infection in the body (white blood cells). If possible, avoid contact with people with contagious infections. Tell your doctor immediately if you notice signs of an infection, such as fever or chills, severe diarrhea, shortness of breath, prolonged dizziness, headache, stiff neck, weight loss, or listlessness. Your doctor will do blood tests regularly to monitor the number of specific types of blood cells in your blood.
Kidneys: If you have reduced kidney function or kidney disease, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
This medication should not be given to anyone with severely reduced kidney function unless the benefits outweigh the risks.
Red blood cells: Carboplatin may cause low levels of red blood cells. If you experience symptoms of reduced red blood cell count (anemia) such as shortness of breath, feeling unusually tired, or pale skin, contact your doctor as soon as possible.
Pregnancy: There is a possibility of birth defect if either the man or woman is using carboplatin at the time of conception, or if it is taken during pregnancy. Effective birth control should be practiced while using this medication. This medication may harm the baby if used during pregnancy. If you become pregnant while taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately.
Breast-feeding: It is not known if carboplatin passes into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are taking this medication, it may affect your baby. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding.
Children: The prescribing of carboplatin for treatment of cancers in children should be done only by a doctor who has experience with the use of this medication for children.
Seniors: Seniors are at an increased risk of side effects with carboplatin as the kidneys may not be able to remove the medication from the body as effectively. Lower doses may be needed.
What other drugs could interact with this medication?
- aminoglycoside antibiotics (e.g., amikacin, gentamicin, plicamycin, tobramycin)
- amphotericin B

Testing has been minimal and I've also not tested the client on a bare FREESCO 03x machine (that is, one that hasn't been updated with the full blown libc.so.5 library).
A test torrent download seemed to work though, so not all bad
- Code: Select all
pkg -i http://dingetje.homeip.net/packages/0.3.x/ctorrent-dnh_3.2_dingetje
The UserGuide is included in the package (use the package 'man' pages), but can also be found online on its home page (see URL above). Also ctorrent -h gives short usage info. The client can be pushed into 'daemon' mode (background process) using the operator menu, but I haven't tried that mode. In interactive mode it seemed to work well.
A word of warning!
This client supports files > 2Gb, but FREESCO's file system may not!
I have not tried downloading files > 2Gb, so I really can't tell you if it works or not.

Long forgotten... now desired!
Who will you be in the scramble for Africa?
The hungry Empires?
The African nations?
The wait is finally over! After 10 long years, the mod reaches its final version. Say hello to Age of Empires III: Wars of Liberty. This is a free fan-made modification for Age of Empires III and requires both expansions to work. Wars of Liberty is an update of our previous mod, War of the Triple Alliance. All contents from WotTA can be found in WoL.
The Team & friends
Welcome to the 19th century: The American colonies have revolted, gained their independence and they are now nations, the Natives have resisted colonization and struggle to keep their identities, the ancient Asian civilizations are now an active part of the world scenario and have to play their cards right to protect themselves, and in the Balkans, people fight for their independence from once powerful empires. There was one spot on Earth, however, that was ignored for a long time... We're at the modern era and all empires have focused their attention on this long forgotten, but now desirable, region.Founder

Let the scramble begin!
This mod is set in Africa. The new continent has several new random maps, wild animals, vegetation, coin sources. Enter into business with the local African Commodity traders. Explore these new environments with unique gameplay elements, such as Congo's fog of war that resets all the time and River Nile's water trade route.
Meet the new Cultures!
We once had the Europeans, the Native Americans and the Asians. Now, five new cultures, each with unique gameplay systems, unique units and buildings join the scramble!
- The Africans
- The Latin Americans
- The Anglophones
- The Balkans
- The South American Natives
And more to come!
Everyone wants a piece of it!
All previous civilizations have been improved somehow with new units and/or new bonuses. But unfortunately for them, now they will have to dispute the new continent with several new nations! We have added Egyptians, Ethiopians, Zulu, Brazilians, Paraguayans, Argentines, Colombians, Chileans, Mexicans, Americans, Canadians, Australians, Greeks, Bulgarians, Serbians, Romanians, Koreans, Tupi, Inca, Mapuche, Danes, Habsburgs, Italians and Belgians.
Lots of new content!
WoL not only includes tons of stuff from Africa, but also the entire world! Check out dozens of Random Maps from every region, like Verdon Gorge, Australia and Asuncion. Our new religion system makes priests much more interesting. Spies are now extremely dangerous and tricky. Reach the ultimate age, Great War, and crush the enemy with top-of-the-line tanks, biplanes and others. In WoL, every single civilization gets a theme song that plays at the beginning of the match. Every civilization and every scenario becomes a different experience!
Grows over time!
The mod never stops growing and balancing itself- and we will be releasing free content over time, including new civilizations and random maps.
Easy to install and to keep updated
WoL's installer allows you to easily install WoL and to keep it patched, that allows for a more fulfilling experience because you no longer have to worry about tricky installations. You can jump right into action!
Play team games like never before!
Wars of Liberty is more fun online! Team games become a compelling and competitive alternative to 1v1s. Create team compositions that exploit and combine the aspects of every civ, there's always something new to try. Get creative and win games!
If you tried installing previously and had issues, remember to Uninstall the Throne Room. It also is advised to delete the ''Wars of Liberty'' folder in your AoE3 installation directory from the previous attempt.
(Having trouble? On a Mac? Try a manual installation) (Might need an update)
Download latest patch!
Remember that you need a fresh copy of AoE3, all updated (Steam will do that for you) in order to install the game. After that, you just download the patcher to get the game up to date.
Make sure to keep the updater somewhere, because every once in a while we will patch the game and you will have to run the updater to get the patch.

Sleek Geeks go regional
9 August 2012
Answering questions such as 'How do people get blue eyes?' and 'Will we ever colonise Mars?' the Sleek Geeks - Dr Karl Kruszelnicki and Adam Spencer - talked fascinating science with school students all over NSW at a special video conference on 8 August to celebrate National Science Week in NSW.
The video conference allowed over 600 students from 18 NSW schools to speak directly with Dr Karl Kruszelnicki, the Julius Sumner Miller Fellow in the School of Physics at the University of Sydney, and Adam Spencer, ABC radio and TV personality.
Schools involved covered the whole state from Coonabarabran to Lord Howe Island, from Lightening Ridge to Stanwell Park, and from Wilcannia to Lucas Heights.
The special event started with Dr Karl and Adam Spencer introducing The Hon Andrew Stoner, Deputy Premier of NSW, and Professor Mary O'Kane, NSW Chief Scientist and Engineer, to the students and asking them about National Science Week and why science is fascinating.
"National Science Week is Australia's annual celebration of science and technology. Running in August each year, it features around 1,000 events across Australia, delivered by universities, schools, museums and science centres - with more than 1 million attendees nationwide," said The Hon Andrew Stoner, Deputy Premier of NSW.
"This year there are more than 150 events across NSW as part of Science Week," said The Hon Andrew Stoner.
Professor Mary O'Kane said, "Science Week is important because it's so great to see kids and adults engaging on such a wide array of science-related topics. It also demonstrates the excitement and fun of a career in the sciences, and in engineering and maths.
"Science Week allows a whole lot of fascinating, informative and educational stuff to be absorbed and spread about - it sparks curiosity in kids about science and that's an important thing. And from curiosity we can often get passion and intrepid investigation and these qualities can produce the next generation of innovative scientific researchers and thinkers - committed to tackling some of our big problems," said Professor O'Kane.
Students from each school were invited to ask science related questions of Dr Karl and Adam, which they answered with fascinating facts and entertaining explanations.
The Sleek Geeks answered questions on the Higgs Boson, why cats land on their feet, why most planetary orbits are elliptical and not circular, how to measure intelligence in people and a hypothetical question about travelling at the speed of light.
"The school students asked a really great range of questions - it was wonderful to see them thinking about science issues across so many disciplines and scales," said Dr Karl.
"We enjoyed connecting with so many students across the state in the one event - it was a truly interactive science event."
The Sleek Geeks video conference was proudly supported by the University of Sydney and NSW Trade and Investment, and broadcast by NSW DART Connections. The event is part of the University of Sydney's commitment to providing science outreach and supporting schools regardless of geographic location.

Marcus and the New Job
So Marcus gets a job with Gateway computers, and his old office mates get him a cake to say goodbye:
Obviously, this raises a few questions.
Going by the illustration, either Marcus is a wee little man or Gateway has had so many budget cuts that they're back to using the Colossus computers from World War II. Marcus also has three legs and types with his feet. He's lucky, though, because he's been hired at Gateway's exclusive beach-front cubicle office, where each week's work is delivered via the time-tested "message-in-a-bottle" method.
The bakery lost the order and slapped something together at the last minute.
One of those two, anyway. I think I like the first explanation better, though.
Maryn M., I agree: the word "enable" should probably never be on a cake.

Residents and clean water advocates early this month filed a challenge to Clark County's ongoing failure to protect rivers and streams and comply with laws limiting stormwater pollution.
The public interest law firm Earthjustice filed an appeal on behalf of three local conservation organizations asking the Washington State Pollution Control Hearings Board to throw out a recent agreement between Clark County and the Washington Department of Ecology. Stakeholders argue the state authorized inadequate development standards that will generate illegal stormwater pollution.
"Clark County's refusal to comply with state stormwater requirements is unfair to other cities and counties that are working hard to clean up our polluted waterways," said Earthjustice attorney Jan Hasselman, who is representing the groups. "When it comes to clean water, everyone needs to do their share."
Last year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released a report on toxics in the Columbia Basin, which identified stormwater as a leading cause of toxic pollution in the basin.
In a deal reached in early January, Ecology agreed to allow Clark County to retain inadequate stormwater standards for new development in exchange for a promise to implement county-funded stormwater mitigation projects.
However, Clark County is already required to implement these projects under federal law. Additionally, the agreement allows Clark County to mitigate new development anywhere in the county, up to three years after the development occurs.
"Clark County's approach to stormwater is a bad deal for clean water and species like salmon because developers will continue to use outdated and inadequate building standards," said Dvija Michael Bertish of the Rosemere Neighborhood Association, one of the appellant groups. "It's also a bad deal for taxpayers because it transfers the burden of mitigating stormwater from developers to the public."
"From subsistence to recreational fishing, so many people in our area rely on fish from local streams and rivers," explained Brett VandenHeuvel, executive director of Columbia Riverkeeper. "Given the direct harm of stormwater toxics on salmon, we need our state and Clark County to comply with the law to protect the salmon and the people who rely on them."
Federal law required Clark County to adopt new rules governing runoff from development by August of 2008. The county adopted a weak flow control standard for new development. While Ecology initially sought to bring an enforcement action against the county, it later agreed to let Clark County retain the insufficient standards, according to the press release from Earthjustice.
"Clark County is allowing development that does not change the rate of stormwater flow even though this flow continues to damage creeks and rivers," said Dennis Dykes, an expert hydrogeologist who has reviewed the Clark County's proposal. "The stormwater ordinance and the proposed flow control program are not protective of water quality and endangered species like salmon. There is simply no scientific basis for allowing continued degradation of one watershed in exchange for a plan to do something beneficial somewhere else."
The appealing groups include Rosemere Neighborhood Association, Columbia Riverkeeper, and the Northwest Environmental Defense Center.

I've just started on the Tales of Eternia anime, and I was wondering if there's a full VA list of it somewhere.
I'm pretty sure I heard a few familiar voices, but I can't confirm this since the sources I tried (MAL/Wiki/Wikia) only list the 4 main characters plus one or two others, but not the ones I want to know.

I don't know if game discussion is allowed in here, but since this is a Q & A topic I figured I would try here first.
I'm just about finished playing through Tales of Symphonia again after about 7 or 8 years since I last have done so. Back then I wasn't that fond of the Tales games and Symphonia was the only one in the series I played to completion.
Now that I'm a bit more fond of the series presently, I was wondering if playing Dawn of the New World would be a good idea? The story of Symphonia is even better than I remember it being and I'm very curious how the story of the sequel is. However I haven't heard very many good things about the game.
The main thing I want to ask, is the story worth slogging through all the bad gameplay aspects it has? Because if it isn't, I may not bother in the first place.

Story-wise, it has some minor things that aren't explained, but does an otherwise great job at tying the elements of the previous game, and even some minor elements from Martel's era(i.e. 4000 yrs ago) into a cohesive plot that makes sense.
Most people are actually put off by the gameplay elements. The game uses a monster capture system so that you can use monsters in battle, but they can only be AI controlled. You get orig ToS members here and there throughout the story, but their artes and power have been completely gimped; they are only a shadow of what they are capable of in the orig ToS(locked levels, not all of their artes, no Shiina summoning, etc). They all at least get Mystic Artes(like Llyod's Falcon Crest, Colette's Holy Judgment, etc), but cannot exceed a max level of 50 by end game, despite your 2 new protagonists maxing at lv 200 which makes them lackluster in the bonus dungeons. The system itself, despite having Free Run, is not as polished as the original, not in terms of speed, but....how to say it...it just doesn't look as elegant.
On an unrelated note, the criticism is heightened even more due to the fact that Tales of Vesperia came out a couple of months later in the same year ToS2 did, and story-wise and battle system-wise, was a much more structured and vibrant game, at least in the general opinion of others.
You said you only played ToS all the way through. You've never played Vesperia, Graces f, or Innocence?

Presently the Tales games I've finished are Symphonia, Abyss and Graces f. I also played Legendia but I never finished it.
I'd like to play Vesperia, but I don't have a 360 and don't plan on getting one. Innocence I won't play unless Bamco decides to localize Innocence R, which I doubt will happen. So no I haven't and probably never will for those two.

There's not much grinding needed in this game. If you use monsters, you'll find that, stat-wise, they are quite strong, even stronger than your chars sometimes, as they have a lower EXP-to-level ratio(i.e. less EXP to level up than human chars on the same level). In addition, on harder difficulties, the bonus EXP, which is based on # of MAX hits in the battle, can easily have you doubling your normal experience, something akin to; Hard = 100% extra EXP for 20 hits, Mania = 100% for 10 hits, Unknown = 100% for 2 hits. Yes, on Unknown, you can double your exp with only 2 hits. You can only go as high as Hard on 1st playthrough, so it's not that big a deal.

Ah cool. I may just ditch the monsters all-together then once I get the opportunity to do so and just stick to using the actual characters. I assume even though Lloyd and co.'s levels max at only 50, that's still high enough to confront the final boss of the game?
And the presence of a difficulty slider sounds good to me. Is easy one of the options?

There is no Easy; just Normal and Hard at first. To get Mania, you have to beat the game on Hard mode w/o changing the difficulty even once, starting on that difficulty before the first fight of the game(an Eggbear). For Unknown, all Mania battles in the same way. I've never played on Normal, but I only had a few problems with certain bosses, even only using all human chars. You might be tempted to go with a couple of monsters, else, some bosses might be just too tough with just Emil and Marta(the orig ToS chars come and go throughout the game).

I don't really play JRPG's for a challenge, so I'll probably just stick to Normal difficulty. Hopefully it isn't too difficult to get through everything if I don't want to use or recruit monsters. The fact that the characters from the first game can be used in some form is relieving too.
Anyway, it sounds like the game is at least worth a try so thanks for the info. It's probably going to be one of my less-liked Tales games, but I figure if I get some form of enjoyment out of it, it shouldn't be a waste.

Why did you choose to write an ebook?
Mostly to see if it was possible for me to write a book. I had blogged every day for four years, but I had never written something of that length, which, quite frankly, is daunting. So I thought I'd give it a shot.
The name of your ebook is Blogging in Pink: A Woman's Guide, yet the advice you give would benefit all bloggers. Is there a reason you chose that title?
Part of the decision was marketing; it was a way set myself apart. Also, my audience is almost entirely women, and I wanted the book to appeal to them. While most of it applies to blogging in general, I included some things that are more specific to the mom blog community, such as doing product reviews.
Speaking of audience, you discuss that in detail in your ebook. How did you find out so much specific information about your audience?
Programs like Google Analytics are great. You need to type in some code first, but then it gives you information about your readers such as age, gender, location, education level. My audience, for example, is mostly educated women with children, so knowing that helps me speak more directly to them....
Do you check your stats frequently?
When I first started blogging, I used to check my stats all the time. Then I was getting too hung up on them. I'd panic over why my subscribers dropped or why a particular day had really bad traffic. I have realized that there are going to be spikes, and there are going to be dips. But almost all traffic changes have a minimal effect.... Now I like to know how long people are hanging around on my site. If they stay for more than a minute or more, then that usually means they're reading the material. And that's ultimately what I want.
Your ebook is 175 pages. How long did it take you write it?
Well, I cheated a little bit. (laughing) On Scribbit, I write about one post a month that is dedicated to blogging issues, like how to build traffic or how to find a niche. So I went through my old posts, organized them in a more coherent way, and used them as the basis of the ebook. I figured it was my material anyway, so why not use it? I'd say about 25-30 % of the book was new material. So while it still took a good amount of time, it wasn't nearly as long as it could have been.
Why did you opt for an ebook instead of publishing it the traditional way?
I probably didn't have enough confidence in myself. It was an experiment for me, really. Also blogging is a medium that is changing constantly. The information could change or become obsolete in eight months, and that might not be appealing to a publisher or editor. I know, for instance, that some of the topics I covered like Technorati have changed since I published the book in the spring. Online, what was current a year ago may not be current next year. Also I think people who are online like to read online. So I think it was a good choice for all of those reasons.
Based on your experience, would you recommend the ebook route to bloggers who are thinking about writing a book?
If you're interested in a career in writing, you should be blogging. The practice of writing every day helps you to develop your career as a writer. An ebook is an extension of that. It might be good to see if you can actually write an entire book, which is different from writing blog posts.... [As for making money] I didn't charge for my book, but I know you can. For instance, if a 1000 people pay to download your book, then that is at least some proof that you're marketable, and that could help you in the future when working with editors and publishers. I also think writing an ebook gives you credibility and helps boost your image a little bit. You might get taken more seriously as a writer. Ultimately, though, it's up to you.
You talk a lot about handling "bumps" in the road, both big and small. You have been blogging every day for four years, so clearly you have developed some strategies for navigating such "bumps." Would you share some of them with us?
First of all you have to know what your goal is with your blog. If it's to improve your writing, then you have keep at it no matter how many bumps you encounter. If your goal is to build community, you have to stick with it too. With blogging you never know what opportunities are around the corner, so you need to stick with it. If your goal is to have consistently high traffic, it can be kind of manic-depressive, since you can become overly obsessed with stats....
I got so frustrated with blogging this past year. I was losing interest in it and finding it difficult to get motivated to write. Actually since the end of March, I have been thinking about quitting. I made a promise to give myself six months and see how things went. You know, they really did get better. Some opportunities came to me, like working for the marketing network, One2One. And it has helped me to keep going....
I've also got some other projects I'm working on, so I have decided to cut back on my posting schedule for Scribbit. I might post 4 or 5 days a week instead of 7, which should help a lot and keep me motivated. Having a blog is hard work, you know? Some people say when you stop loving it, you should stop blogging. But you can't look long term, as in making a career out of blogging, and have that approach. You have gotta be able to stick with it, even when you really don't want to.... Ultimately though, the choice is really personal. As for me, I'm gonna keep doing it until I'm absolutely dead on the floor. (laughing)
The blogosphere has become so overcrowded. What tips do you have for beginner bloggers to help make themselves stand out?
Live in Alaska or someplace exotic. Maybe you have to lie about something like being a refugee from Sudan or something. (laughing) But, really, you have to set yourself apart. Have a name that's a little off or unusual. Avoid generic names. I have a terrible memory, but if the name is unique, there's a much better chance I'll remember it....
You've got to have good writing. No matter what you're blog is about, if it's not well written, people won't want to keep coming back.
Post regularly. If you have really long lapses for no particularly important reason, then it's going to be hard to build a loyal group of readers.
Give-aways are good because people like free stuff, but there are so many of them now that their power has become diluted. I started doing mine two years go, when they weren't as popular, and it really helped boost my traffic on the weekends. But today there are so many, that they don't generate as much traffic as they used to.
You have been really successful with give-aways and advertising on Scribbit. Would you give bloggers some advice about hosting give-aways and attracting quality advertisers?
I don't like when a marketer sends me an email stating that they want me to host a give-away, they don't want to pay me, and they want to offers my readers a cheap gift. At first I was afraid of offending them, but after a while, I realized my first priority is to my readers. I have learned that you have to figure out what you're worth and to not be afraid to tell that to marketers.
When I first started getting advertisers it was a lot of work, and I really didn't like it. It took me about eight months before I reached the point where I had a continuous stream of advertisers. I talk a lot about this in the book, but for me, what works best is selling ads month-to-month....
Michelle and her daughters, Lillian and Grace.
Is there anything new on the horizon for Scribbit? Or for Michelle?
Well on Scribbit, I have been running a writing contest for 2 years, and I quit doing it in July. Participation had gone down, and it's not always easy to find good judges. But I'm thinking of starting it up again in the fall. So be on the lookout for it!
I have started working for the marketing network One2One. I'm working with them to reach out to bloggers, and I'm enjoying it.
I'm also working on a book proposal for a memoir. I was contacted by an agent who liked my blog and suggested I write a book about my family and parenting in Alaska. I'm working on the opening chapter right now. It's about how my family moved here after WWII when Alaska was nothing but a muddy campground....
Do you think it's important to have an agent?
Well, I was contacted by an agent who is recruiting new artists. I don't think you need an agent up front to write a book, but I looked it this as a luck dog break, so I'm going with it....
Publishing is so competitive nowadays, and when you already have a platform and an audience from a successful blog, it makes you much less of a risk in the publisher's eyes....
[As for attracting an agent] it also helps that Alaska is a hot topic right now, in part because of Sara Palin. People are excited about Alaska and that's good for me. The book isn't a sure thing yet, but it's as good as a shot as I'm gonna get right now, and I'm going for it. It's the kind of book I've always wanted to write anyway. To write about my family history is really exciting to me. I have a very detailed history of my family, from pictures to journals and letters, so I have a lot of information to draw on.
Do you think that blogging has helped prepare you to write this book?
I think that blogging for the last four years has really taught me a lot about what good writing is. You've got to look at life as conflict, crisis, resolution. If you're gonna write a post, you've gotta draw your audience in. And conflict, whether it's some trivial little thing with my kids or something major like my grandparent's move to Alaska, will, if written correctly, draw people in. Well, that's what I'm hoping anyway. (laughing)

Sarah Storey, the Paralympic cyclist whose Paralympic successes have seen her become Britain's most successful female Paralympian, has said that women must support local races and receive racing education if an international women's road racing scene is to emerge.
Storey, 34, won four gold medals at the London Games, for events as diverse as the 500m time trial and the C4-5 road race at Brand's Hatch, and now holds 22 Paralympic medals in all, a record shared with former wheelchair racer Tanni Grey-Thompson. Last night she was selected to carry the British flag at the Paralympic Closing Ceremony.
Speaking to Road.cc, she questioned why the turnout at women's races is often poor, and cited her own experiences of finding it hard to get started in elite racing.
"You wouldn't want a 4th Cat rider to come in for their first year and be completely fazed by the fact that they're riding with women who've been riding for a lot longer than that, that can corner quicker and take different risks, because you have a different perception when you first get on a bike .
"I remember it really well, being stuck at the back of the bunch wondering how on earth I was ever going to be up at the front," she said.
"It can be quite daunting, so we need to find a way of supporting women to race, and allowing them to learn the skills before we put them in a field of people who are going so quick it's impossible to see what's happening.
She added: "To go to a road race and see that the field isn't full, despite the fact that there's a fantastic race has been organised, is disappointing. So if we don't support our races that we do have then we can't complain about the ones that we don't yet have in a more glamorous setting.
"The fields in the women's races are very oversubscribed in the early season, and then by the time you get to say the Essex Giro, which is the final one of the national series, there's only 45 riders maybe, when there could be a field of 80.
"Maybe it's because women have jobs and other commitments, and maybe some of the girls run out of money, but we have to support the events that are there before complaining about the ones that aren't."
The lack of funding for women's pro cycling is not a new complaint. Emma Pooley said in The Guardian earlier this year: "There is a lot of uncertainty every year over teams. You think you've got a contract, then the team decide women's racing is not of interest to main sponsors because it's not visible. It's a bit depressing – after a while you feel what you're doing is pointless because no one is interested.
"I'm on a good, relatively well-funded team, but it still feels like they have a tight budget. It doesn't need to be luxurious, but with a lot of women's teams you're lucky if they buy you a sandwich at the race.
"Another problem is that sponsors keep pulling out of races, so they get cancelled, it's a pain because the calendar has been more than decimated."
Almost on cue, following the Olympic cycling successes, Pooley's team, one of cycling's most prominent women's teams - the AA Drink-Leontien.nl squad - announced that it was to disband at the end of the season.
AA Drink-Leontien.nl had already swept up many of the riders from Garmin-Cervélo (now Garmin-Sharp) after it dropped its women's team in November last year.
But Storey said that the onus for successful women's racing lay just as heavily on individual women as on their sponsors and teams.
"Women need to take some responsibility because not all of the fields have been full," she said.
"If women want to race there are races there. It was a huge effort to get women to ride the Newport Nocturne a few weeks ago and that was an incredible race."
But she does concede that more could be done to support women starting out in racing, and that part of the problem is a lack of level progression from domestic to elite racing as in the men's events.
"Because some of the fields are very small, they don't provide the right education to learn about riding in a bunch and that kind of thing," she said.
"There are enough events, so maybe we need to see about making some of them just entry-level races. The girls need to support those races, and then move up the tree. It's hard, because you could be in your thirties and just starting out, and wanting to race with the elites straight away, and I think I certainly wished I'd had a gentler ride into it - you know, straight into the elite field with the likes of Rachel Heal.
"I didn't want to take anyone out or cause a crash, and women don't want... well, no-one wants to cause a crash and that itself often can cause more crashes than you want. It's about giving people the opportunity to progress, get proficient and then eventually climb the ladder like we see in the men's sport."
Although Storey would like to see Sky sponsor a women's team in addition to their Tour-winning men's team, which boasts British names including Cavendish, Wiggins and Froome, she said that she understood why they had hesitated thus far.
"You have to take everything one step at a time, and if you set up two teams at a time and one failed you'd be wondering what if you'd set up one and that had done very well, and then looked at maybe setting up a women's side," she said.
"Obviously the men's side gets a lot of media coverage and it's the bigger, more expensive side, and it was a lot of work to set that up, but they've been incredible. So you can't argue with that success.
"Women's cycling doesn't have that same support, and hopefully we can look towards that happening in the future.
"I think in general women's cycling has had a rough time, because events like the Tour de L'Aude was cancelled due to funding issues, and some of the bigger races have had to come off the calendar. We need some more support, and that's not just at a domestic level, that's internationally.
"We just have to hope that with the London Games we can see that change and we can perhaps see a women's pro Tour and it would be as well covered as the men's."
Lizzie Armitstead also used the platform provided by her Olympic success to raise the issue of pro Tour women's teams.
She was quoted in the Telegraph as saying: "It's not just a Team Sky issue. There are lots of things that could be done. We could get more help from the UCI, like forcing Pro-Tour teams to have a women's equivalent.
"It can get overwhelming and frustrating, the sexism I've experienced in my career. It's a big issue in women's sport. It's the obvious things: the salary, media coverage, the general things you have to cope with. If you focus on it too much you get very disheartened."
Storey trained as a swimmer and won 16 Paralympic medals before being forced to switch sports due to a persistent ear infection. She was born without a functioning left hand, but competes against able-bodied athletes in road races, and narrowly missed out on a place in the Olympic team pursuit as part of Team GB.
She said: "I had to get on with 4 other events - 4 events in a week was a big programme. There was no easy ride once I'd been dropped from Team GB and I had to work on everything from the 500m to the road race and make sure we had the right balance to that it didn't become too much. To come out the other side and be like, mission accomplished - it's just fantastic.
"I wasn't disappointed.
"You never look back. The team they put together was absolutely the right team for the job, and you have to respect that."
After an unpromising start, having to be bribed by her parents to learn to ride without stabilisers, Sarah became rather keener on cycling in her university years, and was eventually persuaded to upgrade to proper road cycling by the prospect of a shiny red Italian bike, which she promptly destroyed by trapping a pair of knickers in the rear derailleur. Sarah writes about about cycling every weekend on road.cc.

Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag Video: A Pirate's Arsenal
A new Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag video gives us an inside look on a few of the weapons that pirates used in their heyday.
The video lets us take a little trip to Genoa, a port town with a checked past involving pirates. The perfect setting for a Black Flag video, right? We're introduced to Mike Loades, a historical weapons expert who gives us information on the weapons pirates used back in the day and some of the tactics they might have employed on the high seas.
On top of the pistols, cutlasses, knives and grenades, pirates would also use psychological warfare to get into their targets' minds and strike fear into their hearts, getting rid of the need to fight. In fact, pirate flags were meant to intimidate other ships.
When it came time to board ships after blasting them to high hell with guns and cannons, pirates may or may not have used ropes to swing over and capture the target ships. Like Loades said, there's no evidence to show they did this; but there's also no evidence to show they didn't do this.
Watch the video above and prepare to set sail when Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag is released for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii U on Oct. 29. The PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions will be released in November.

Enjoyed on 9/30/2010
Brewery: Dogfish Head Craft Brewed Ales
Location: Milton, DE
Beer: Burton Baton
Presentation: 12 oz. — Brown Glass Bottle — Capped
Vintage: 2010
Style: American Style Imperial India Pale Ale blended with an English Old Ale
Barrel: Oak
Hops: Warrior, Glacier
Malt: N/A
Commercial Description:
This is a blended beer that we've been brewing for the past several years and it's recently been gaining in popularity.
For Burton Baton we first brew two 'threads' or batches of beer: an English-style Old Ale and an Imperial IPA. After fermenting the separate beers in our stainless tanks, the two are transferred and blended together in one of our large oak tanks. Burton Baton sits on the wood for about a month.
When enjoying the Burton Baton, you'll find an awesome blend of the citrus notes from Northwestern hops melding with woody, vanilla notes from the oak. The wood also tends to mellow the 10% of the beer — so tread cautiously!
Beer Advocate: A- (4.13)
Rate Beer: 98 (3.74)
Timperial's Notes:
When I had this beer at Brouwer's Hopfest I had forgotten how delicious it was. If you saw our review of said fest here, you probably noticed that it was our second favorite out of everything we tried, which was nearly 40 hopped up brews. It would be wrong of me to say that I'm surprised, after all, DFH is a force to be reckoned with. One can only fantasize about how those results could have been effected were 120 Minute IPA involved. Honestly, I don't think that it would have mattered, at least for me. Never-the-less, ever since my re-discovery of the Baton, I have been unable to mosey past it in the bottleshops without grabbing one.
When you break this beer down to its core elements, it's quite clear that Sam Calagione stepped into my psyche, rummaged around a bit, and popped out with a beer manifesto perfectly penned to make my knees wobble. I am gaga about old ales, gonzo about imperial IPAs and gung-ho about wood aged beers. Have your read my review of Great Divide's Hibernation, or my review of Russian River's Pliny the Elder? If you have, you probably got a sense of my intense passion for the styles. To blend the two, well, leave it to Sam to come up with that one. Yes, maybe it happens more than I know. Possibly, breweries do it and don't advertise it as such. If they do, they should inform me and me only. I'll keep that little nugget in the vault and acquire my fair share of the congenial cocktail for continued consumption.
If you haven't done it already, I would highly recommend going to the Burton Baton page on the DFH website and watching the video of Sam describing the beer. The most interesting part is being able to see the wood vat that the beer ages in. It's pretty epic.
A standard pour conjured a respectable head that rose like an ominous yellowish-white fog about an inch above the liquid. It took about 5 minutes to settle down to a thin foam and ring. The lacing is impressive, a dense slathering of porous paint on the inside of the glass. I gentle swirling of the brew causes the transparency of the glass to wither. The fluid itself is of a mysterious, cloudy amber hue that seems to vary from murky pond water brown to bright sunrise orange depending on the angle you hold it to the light.
The scent perplexes the mind with its unfathomable depth. I know not where to begin… The initial moment my nose hit the scent, I thought the wrong beer was in the bottle. There seemed to be coffee and cocoa emanating…from an IPA? As it warms just slightly, those notes seem to fade to the peripherals. Somewhere between then and when it's warm enough to fully and properly experience, there are strong shots of lemon, blood orange, pine, and sweet baking doughs. The booze can be sensed early after the pour. Low temperatures do nothing to hide the 10%. It's surprisingly medicinal, or nearly petroleum like with potency. To call this balanced in the nose is almost laughable. I mean yes, there is a gargantuan helping of lupulin here, and the gods themselves where heavy-handed with the malt bill, but to use the word balance seems to place some sort of neutrality tag on a beer that is far too massive to even fit on known scales. This is a beer for warriors, for Vikings, for kings of men. Wait, I haven't even smelled it at proper temp yet let alone tasted it.
As it warms a bit more, a medicinal, syrupy hop quality really dominates, but all the while drizzled upon sweet buns hot out of the oven, soaked in rum. Sometimes granny gets a little nuts in the kitchen. Even more warmth leaves only the malt backbone and a nose hair singeing alcohol.
The mouthfeel is just as the smell would suggest, slick with sugars and minimal with effervescence. In this case, that's what's appropriate, and points are won for consistency. The words that I want to use to describe the flavors are bouncing around my head faster than I can collect them. The most striking of all is the re-emergence of what was inhaled at the very onset. Coffee? Again, I thought this was an IPA, and no, not a Cascadian dark version. Yes, there is some tinge of brown in the color, and lest we not forget the old ale swimming in our midst, but roasted malts? Clearly, nothing is off-limits for DFH.
The sweetness factor alone is multifaceted. I get a slight bubble gum quality along with the baked sweets. There is caramelized, near burnt sugar, which seems to play with the coffee and the hop bitterness to make a valiant attempt at blotting up the salivary glands. There are moments when my palette is left feeling chalky dry, but inevitably, the sugar cascade reigns supreme. No matter the juxtaposition in precipitants as I swallow, there is an undeniable need for more sips. Though, I must admit, that desire for more is mostly beset on the intrigue factor — intrigue for what happens before the swallow, to greater understand the ever emerging nuances in flavor.
And I mustn't dare leave out the hops. Sure, they are in there — the piney, citrus aromas, the battling bitterness units… there is no mistake that this is a strong IPA, but the overall hop profile seems to lie in more of a supporting role. If you told me there was hop extract in this beer I wouldn't bat an eyelash. There just isn't enough room for the hop to substantially play on my taste buds. I couldn't even begin to contemplate the varieties used, let alone where they may sit in the addition schedule. Does that hurt the score? Well, maybe to a very finite degree, but like I said, this is an IPA and there is no question about that. For the malt profile to be so brutally steadfast and for the 'IPA' moniker to still be obvious, how could one hold issue?
The aftertaste is the only flaw I can find here, but believe me, I'm stretching. The "burnt" flavors seem to latch on with the most strength after the fluid has passed. It's a deep flavor that tells of the darker malts and the conditions of the wood that once housed the brew, or so I assume. 99% of the time, the byproduct of these elements brings me to my knees with delight. Here, I'm forlorn. For me, it's not too different from being offered a fine cigar…or a Tom Waits album. I so badly want to have the experience enlighten me, but sadly, I just wasn't built for it. I was, however, built for hop candy, and this is one of the supreme examples of just such a beer.
