Patient Comments & Reviews
The eMedicineHealth doctors ask about Hemorrhoids:
Hemorrhoids - Effective Treatments
What kinds of treatments have been effective for your hemorrhoids?
Comment from: blues112, 65-74 Male (Patient) Published: April 26
Back in 1993 when I was living in NYC for Internal Hemorrhoids, banding (rubber banding ligation worked fine); however, my 2nd experience with "roids" 2010-11, I had also developed External hemorrhoids in addition to internal "roids", so I will be visiting my specialist to see what he can tell about the "infernal" external hemorrhoids. Banding was performed in Nov. 2010 on the internal hemorroids discovered on a colonoscopy but I became constipated and had to strain to promote bowel movements. Diet and fiber consumption are both very important. My next appointmt is on May 2, 2011 and I will keep you roid suffers posted on what the Dr. tells me. Unfortunately, there is no Proctologist specialty where I now reside, so I have tried to keep myself current on the latest treatmt for roids.
Comment from: 35-44 Male (Patient) Published: December 15
I suffered from severe Hemorrhoids from about the age of 18 until I was 29 or 30 years old. It got so bad that when I went to the bathroom, the toilet bowl was dark red from the blood. Finally I had enough and spoke to my doctor who said that I had an anal fissure. It is not the same as a hemorrhoid, but I'm betting I got mine from enduring years of hemorrhoids. My doctor recommended a kind of surgery called a "sphincterotomy." If you're bleeding a lot like I was, then talk to your doctor and find out if you have an anal fissure and go and get this quick and easy surgery. Since then I have never had a single hemorrhoid or problem down there.
Comment from: bleedingoccuring, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: September 28
I have been using the Preparation H wipes for my hemorrhoids and still the bleeding occurs, so I have an appointment with a specialist coming up soon.

The Erie is shocked by the death of David Hallman III on Monday, a Cathedral Prep graduate and a senior at Dennison University.
"He was always gracious, considerate, very kind. He was an excellent student for us, he swam on the swim team. Just the finest young man you'd want to know," said Father Scott Jabo, president of Erie Catholic Preparatory Schools, which include both Cathedral Prep and Villa Maria.
He was found dead, outside, in Granville, Ohio on Saturday at 10:34pm, about 20 hours after he was reported missing by his father, David Hallman II of Erie's Hallman Chevrolet.
The search party formed by Dennison staff found him outside of a condo complex than half a mile from where he was last seen, at Brew Cafe at 116 E. Broadway in Granville.
Police suspect that hypothermia was the cause of death and that alcohol was involved.
The news stunned the Erie community, hitting hard those who knew him.
"It seemed avoidable, but it's something you'd never think of happening. Especially when you're young. You just don't expect it, even now it's shocking to hear," said Mike Doyle, the swim coach at Cathedral Prep and a former coach of Hallman's.
Hallman's Facebook is now full of posts from friends, remembering his life.
"He continued to be the same fine young man at the college level. I know he was very popular in college. He's the type of young man who had a lot of friends, a lot of people cared for him, and it just doesn't seem possible that he at such a young age, has died," Father Jabo said.
Hallman's former coach remembers their last conversation.
"We had just talked a few week ago about his future plans," Doyle said. "He just was a great kid. People just genuinely loved him. He was just nice and he always had a smile, an infectious laugh. I think he was just a bright star, every one just gravitated towards him and I know he'll be missed."
David Hallman was 21 years old.

With my recent discovery of the Civil War history of a great great grandfather, I have an inner drive to learn more. So with renewed inspiration, I began a search for further information on my ancestor. Few records have been found, but one document provided stunning details of my ancestor's military history. It is the U.S. Southern Claims Commission for Union sympathizers. In the early 1870's, the government passed a series of laws, providing an avenue for southerners who aided the Union, to file claims to the federal government for reimbursement of property damage caused by Confederate armies. The documents are filled with genealogical information including written testimony from the claimant and corroborating witnesses. I was struck by the wealth of information; certainly comparable to the Civil War Pension file.
With the discovery of the record, I quickly printed off the 23 pages and began gliding my magnifying glass across the handwritten document. Attempting to make out each word, squinting as I labored through every sentence, I laid the papers down and began transposing the document to my computer. Typing each word just as I saw, leaving blank spaces for illegible words, and placing words of question within parentheses, I completed the entire manuscript. I then walked away, taking a much needed break.
Picking the typed document up later in the day, I read it through once more, filling the blank spaces with words newly discovered with fresh eyes. And as a result, I had a typed document of an amazing story told by my ancestor of his personal tragedies during the Civil War. The story was gripping and although much time was consumed on an otherwise lazy Sunday, I was left with a treasure once unknown. The experience has given me pause, reminding me that time should be taken for each newly found record, and the task of transposing can provide a deeper understanding of an ancestor's life experiences.
Gaining a better understanding of handwriting practices prior to the 20th century can help the family historian decipher genealogical documents. Here are some things to keep in mind when reviewing records:
*Many times, upper case letters were used more frequently in sentences, especially to begin nouns.
*The lower case s can be mistaken for a backward, lowercase f if it is in the middle of a word, or if it is the first s of a double s. (Such as Mississippi)
*Some words were shortened or abbreviated, starting the word in regular sized letters and ending in superscript letters with a line drawn beneath or above the smaller letters. This was sometimes done to save paper.
*Uppercase K, P and R can look similar, as can J and T, and L and S.
*Many words prior to the 18th century were spelled phonetically.
And what steps can you take, as the family historian, to interpret your treasured documents?
*Transpose the record just as you read it, misspellings and all. By doing this, your eyes will begin to recognize words and the letters will be easier to identify.
*Understand what the document is. Is this a legal record and are there certain words expected of such?
*As you transpose, leave blanks for unidentifiable words to be filled in later.
*Identify letters known and use them as your guide to compare with others.
*Read the words out loud. They may be spelled oddly but they phonetically sound out an identifiable word.
*Place your guesses inside brackets to be reviewed later.
*After transposing the entire document, read it out loud to someone else. Fresh eyes and ears can provide new insight.
To view my sources and obtain additional help with deciphering old handwriting, I suggest the following websites:The National Archives UK, Script Tutorials and Moonzstuff.
Keep searching for answers,

Last week, protesters from the Occupy Wall Street (or, #OccupyWallStreet) campaign got a special treat and a little relief from the harsh realities of sleeping in a park in New York City in the form of musical performances by Jeff Mangum and Talib Kweli.
Here are more behind-the-scenes photos from our upcoming 2012 Holiday Review Guide, which is coming to newsstands and the Guitar World online store in November. We'll be rolling out several more behind-the-scenes photo galleries up until the newsstand date, November 22.
First things first: We don't want you to stop playing guitar. After all, Guitar World is a magazine for guitarists, and so playing guitar is something we promote. Pursuing a special interest, however, has its hazards. For one, approached with the wrong outlook, your hobby/vocation could lead to pathological behavior. Indeed, much like The Force, the guitar, once mastered, can be used either for good or for evil.
Another great premiere for you this morning as we're rolling out a brand new track from Atlanta's Halcyon Way, titled "Our Finest Hour." You can check it out below.
Jazz label Abstract Logix has just released a two-DVD set from 2010's New World Music Festival featuring some of the greatest jazz rock fusion guitarists, including John McLaughlin, Jimmy Herring, Wayne Krantz and Alex Machacek.
Yesterday, former Weezer bassist Mikey Welsh was found dead in a Chicago hotel room. He was 40 years old.
As director of R&D and Private Stock at Paul Reed Smith, Joe Knaggs designed some of the company's most compelling guitars—the astonishingly lightweight McCarty Archtop and Hollowbody, the timeless Singlecut and the handsomely retro Mira and Starla, among others. But recently, after two decades at PRS, Knaggs felt it was time to move on. After an amicable split with the company, he started Knaggs Guitars with former PRS Director of Global Sales and Marketing, Peter Wolf.
As previously reported, Judas Priest took the stage on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon this past Friday night, playing "Breaking the Law" and "You've Got Another Thing Comin'." You can check out video from the performance below.

Greener virtual classes
The above video illustrates an excellent example of how a tool such as Elluminate can be used to support peer learning in an online environment. This virtual class together with the virtual presentation (webinar) described below can help reduce travel costs and therefore help as part of a wider sustainability agenda – vital for all in the current economic climate. These tools can help universities provide more flexible ways of serving student needs, whilst making considerable savings.
CLIPP department are helping the Aston sustainability agenda by promoting awareness to staff and students of potential carbon emission savings that can be made when running webinars and virtual classrooms. Aston University has a licence for Elluminate, which enables live (web based) presentations or classrooms via a PC and using a web browser. A presenter can be sat in front of their PC (and web cam) and "broadcast" to hundreds of delegates simultaneously across the globe. Delivery of presentation slides, web tours, and interactive activities are all possible with Elluminate. A typical example of this was run recently by the Business School Alumni department. The 45 minute webinar hosted by Dr Patrick Tissington was a resounding success with 80 delegates from Aston, UK and internationally.
Kevin Brace has been working with Victoria Johnsen the Environment and Sustainability Officer to calculate the carbon emissions saved in the 'Effective Global Teams' webinar. We calculated that approx 7.5 tonnes of carbon were saved in this international webinar. This equates to approximately 11 flights from New York to London. (Ref: http://visualization.geblogs.com/)
This illustrates the potential carbon and travel savings for typical delegates and students. We should also include a carbon offset calculation to balance the equation. This is just one typical example of how a tool like Elluminate can be exploited. Others include;
- Virtual tutorials
- Careers advice
- Alumni events
- Virtual open days
- Distance learning
- Training programmes
- Collaborative project/research meetings
- Placement visits
- Flexible student support
- Validation committees
- Exam validation meetings
- Research consultancy

If Neils Miller doesn't have a statue in Appleton, Wisconsin, he should. You'll be hard pressed to find someone who has had a larger impact on the welding industry than Mr. Miller. Back in 1929, he saw a need for a small, affordable arc welder that would operate on the type of electricity readily available in rural Wisconsin. Using American ingenuity, he cobbled together scrap metal, core and coil materials and hammered out that first welder in his basement. Six short years later, Miller Electric Mfg. Co. produced an industry-changing industrial welder and the rest is history.
Throughout the 40's, Miller's machines powered war efforts in the shipyards and defense plants. In the 50's, Miller played a key role in the construction of most major planes, jets, fighters and missiles. Companies like Boeing, Cessna, Lockheed, Douglas all used Miller machines in their factories. The 1970's brought the introduction of the Millermatic machines; the first power source with a built-in wire feeder.
Today, Miller Electric continues their dominance in the marketplace with machines like the Millermatic 211 and the Dynasty 200 DX, Auto-darkening welding helmets, and the Diversion 165 TIG Welder. Miller's full line of welding machines and welding accessories give their loyal customers plenty of reasons to "Bleed Blue."

A Beaumont Independent School bus was involved in an accident Friday morning. The accident happened about 10 minutes before 8 a.m. near the intersection of Steelton Avenue and Arthur Lane in north Beaumont.
An officer on the scene told 12News a Jeep Liberty was heading eastbound on Arthur Lane. The driver failed to yield the right of way at a stop sign and the Cherokee collided with the school bus.
The officer said there were three special needs children on the bus. All are around 6-years-old. The officer originally told 12News the children were taken to the hospital to be checked out, but later said he misspoke, it was the driver of the bus and an aid from the bus that were taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
Two of the children were taken by bus to Caldwood Elementary. The third child was picked up by a parent.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

For the tourist, London is a thrilling place with a multitude of places to visit. Monuments from the capital's glorious past are everywhere, from medieval banqueting halls and the great churches of Christopher Wren to the eclectic Victorian architecture of the triumphalist British Empire. There is no shortage of things to do in London: you can relax in the city's quiet Georgian squares, explore the narrow alleyways of the City of London, wander along the riverside walks, and uncover the quirks of what is still identifiably a collection of villages. The largest capital in the European Union, stretching for more than thirty miles from east to west, and with a population of just under eight million, London is also incredibly diverse, ethnically and linguistically, offering cultural and culinary delights from right across the globe.
The capital's great historical landmarks – Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, St Paul's Cathedral, the Tower of London and so on – draw in millions of tourists every year. This isn't a city that rests on its laurels, however. Since the turn of the millennium, all of London's world-class museums, galleries and institutions have been reinvented, from the Royal Opera House to the British Museum. With Tate Modern and the London Eye, the city boasts the world's largest modern art museum and Europe's largest Ferris wheel. And thanks to the 2012 Olympics, even the East End – not an area previously on most tourists' radar – has been given an overhaul.
You could spend days just shopping in London, mixing with the upper classes in the "tiara triangle" around Harrods, or sampling the offbeat weekend markets of Portobello Road, Brick Lane and Camden. The city's pubs have always had heaps of atmosphere, and food is now a major attraction too, with more than fifty Michelin-starred restaurants and the widest choice of cuisines on the planet. The music, clubbing and gay and lesbian scenes are second to none, and mainstream arts are no less exciting, with regular opportunities to catch outstanding theatre companies, dance troupes, exhibitions and opera.
London's special atmosphere comes mostly, however, from the life on its streets. A cosmopolitan city since at least the seventeenth century, when it was a haven for Huguenot immigrants escaping persecution in Louis XIV's France, today it is truly multicultural, with over a third of its permanent population originating from overseas. The last hundred years has seen the arrival of thousands from the Caribbean, the Indian subcontinent, the Mediterranean, the Far East and Eastern Europe, all of whom play an integral part in defining a metropolis that is unmatched in its sheer diversity.
A brief history
The Romans founded Londinium in 43 AD as a stores depot on the marshy banks of the Thames. Despite frequent attacks – not least by Queen Boudicca, who razed it in 61 AD – the port became secure in its position as capital of Roman Britain by the end of the century. London's expansion really began, however, in the eleventh century, when it became the seat of the last successful invader of Britain, the Norman duke who became William I of England (aka "the Conqueror"). Crowned king of England in Westminster Abbey, William built the White Tower – centrepiece of the Tower of London – to establish his dominance over the merchant population, the class that was soon to make London one of Europe's mightiest cities.
Little is left of medieval or Tudor London. Many of the finest buildings were wiped out in the course of a few days in 1666 when the Great Fire of London annihilated more than thirteen thousand houses and nearly ninety churches, completing a cycle of destruction begun the year before by the Great Plague, which killed as many as a hundred thousand people. Chief beneficiary of the blaze was Christopher Wren, who was commissioned to redesign the city and rose to the challenge with such masterpieces as St Paul's Cathedral and the Royal Naval Hospital in Greenwich.
Much of the public architecture of London was built in the Georgian and Victorian periods of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when grand structures were raised to reflect the city's status as the financial and administrative hub of the British Empire. And though postwar development peppered the city with some undistinguished modernist buildings, more recent experiments in high-tech architecture, such as the Gherkin, have given the city a new gloss.Read More
London orientation: where to go
London orientation: where to go
Although the majority of the city's sights are situated north of the River Thames, which loops through the centre of the city from west to east, there is no single focus of interest. That's because London hasn't grown through centralized planning but by a process of agglomeration. Villages and urban developments that once surrounded the core are now lost within the amorphous mass of Greater London.
Westminster, the country's royal, political and ecclesiastical power base for centuries, was once a separate city. The grand streets and squares to the north of Westminster, from St James's to Covent Garden, were built as residential suburbs after the Restoration, and are now the city's shopping and entertainment zones known collectively as the West End. To the east is the original City of London – known simply as The City – founded by the Romans, with more history than any other patch of the city, and now one of the world's great financial centres.
The East End, east of the City, is not conventional tourist territory, but has recently emerged as a bolt hole for artists and a destination for clubbers – and of course, in its far eastern reaches, the East End is now home to the Olympic Park. It's worth exploring south of the Thames, too, from the London Eye, in the west, to Tate Modern and beyond. The museums of South Kensington are a must, as is Portobello Road market in trendy Notting Hill, literary Hampstead and Highgate, in North London, either side of half-wild Hampstead Heath, and Greenwich, in South London, with its nautical associations, royal park and observatory. Finally, there are plenty of rewarding day-trips in West London along the Thames from Chiswick to Windsor, most notably to Hampton Court Palace and Windsor Castle.
London accommodation is expensive. The city's hostels are among the most costly in the world, while venerable institutions such as the Ritz, the Dorchester and the Savoy charge guests the very top international prices – from £300 per luxurious night. For a decent hotel room, you shouldn't expect much change out of £100 a night, and even the most basic B&Bs struggle to bring their tariffs down to £70 for a double with shared facilities. If you're not bothered about atmosphere or local flavour then the chain hotels are a safe bet – but offer far less character than the family-owned places that we've reviewed here. Premier Inn, Travelodge, easyHotel and Yotel all have hotels in central locations. Whatever the time of year, you should phone as far in advance as you can if you want to stay within a couple of tube stops of the West End.Book a hostel in London
You can pretty much sample any kind of cuisine in London, from Georgian to Peruvian, from Modern British to fusion – you can even get yourself some Cockney pie and mash. And it needn't be expensive – even in the fanciest restaurants, set menus (most often served at lunch) can be a great deal, and the small "sharing plates" that are currently all the rage are a godsend if you want to cut costs. While the old-fashioned London caffs are a dying breed, the city has plenty of great little places where you can get quick, filling and inexpensive meals – especially good at lunchtime, most of them are open in the evenings too. Bear in mind also that many pubs serve food,from simple pub grub to haute cuisine.
Gay and lesbian nightlife
Gay and lesbian nightlife
London's lesbian and gay scene is so huge, diverse and well established that it's easy to forget just how much – and how fast – it has grown over the last couple of decades. Soho remains its spiritual heart, with a mix of traditional gay pubs, designer café-bars and a range of gay-run services. Details of most events appear in Time Out, while another excellent source of information is the London Lesbian and Gay Switchboard. The outdoor event of the year is Pride London in late June/early July, a colourful, noisy march through the city streets followed at the end of the month by a huge, ticketed party in a central London park.
London has enjoyed a reputation for quality theatre since the time of Shakespeare and, despite the continuing dominance of blockbuster musicals and revenue-spinning star vehicles, still provides platforms for innovation and new writing. The West End is the heart of "Theatreland", with Shaftesbury Avenue its most congested drag, but the term is more of a conceptual pigeon-hole than a geographical term. Some of the most exciting work is performed in what have become known as the Off-West End theatres, while further down the financial ladder still are the fringe theatres, more often than not pub venues, where ticket prices are lower, and quality more variable.
There are a lot of cinemas in London, especially the West End, with the biggest on and around Leicester Square. A few classy independent chains show more offbeat screenings, in various locations – check out the Picturehouse, Curzon and Everyman – and there even exist a number of one-off arthouse cinemas. Tickets at the major screens cost at least £11, although afternoon shows are usually discounted, and concessionary rates are offered for some shows at virtually all cinemas, usually all day Monday or at other off-peak times. Anyone with an Orange phone can make use of the half-price "Orange Wednesday" tickets.
Classical music
Classical music
On most days you should be able to catch a concert by one of the five major orchestras based in the capital or one of the more specialized ensembles. Unless a glamorous guest conductor is wielding the baton, or one of the world's high-profile orchestras is giving a performance, full houses are a rarity, so even at the biggest concert halls you should be able to pick up a ticket for around £15 (the usual range is about £12–50). During the week there are also numerous free concerts, often at lunchtimes, in London's churches, or given by the city's two leading conservatoires, the Royal College of Music and Royal Academy of Music.
The biggest dance festival is Dance Umbrella, a season (Oct–Nov) of new and cutting-edge work.


text: content October 19, 2007 Printer Friendly In this issue Life Extension Update Exclusive Vitamin D likely responsible for decreased risk of advanced breast cancer in women with greater sun exposure Health Concern Breast cancer Featured Products Breast Health Formula Vitamin D3 Capsules Life Extension Vacations Cancun Life Extension Update Exclusive Vitamin D likely responsible for decreased risk of advanced breast cancer in women with greater sun exposure An article published online on October 12, 2007 the American Journal of Epidemiology revealed the finding of researchers from the Northern California Cancer Center, the University of Southern California, and Wake Forest University School of Medicine that increased levels of vitamin D in the body which are found among those with greater sunlight exposure are associated with a reduced risk of developing advanced breast cancer, defined as disease that has spread beyond the breast. Esther John, PhD of Northern California Cancer Center and colleagues matched 1,788 Hispanic, African-American, and non-Hispanic White women with newly diagnosed breast cancer with 2,129 control subjects. To calculate sun exposure, the color of underarm skin, which is not usually directly exposed to sunlight, was classified as light, medium, or dark, and compared with the color of the forehead, which is normally exposed to the sun. The team determined that light skinned women with the most exposure to the sun had half of the risk of developing advanced breast cancer than those whose exposure was low. Because the finding occurred in only one group of women, the researchers suggest that the effect was due to differences in vitamin D production. The effect was seen only in advanced and not localized breast cancer, which may mean that vitamin D slows the growth of breast cancer cells. "We believe that sunlight helps to reduce women's risk of breast cancer because the body manufactures the active form of vitamin D from exposure to sunlight," Dr John stated. "It is possible that these effects were observed only among light- skinned women because sun exposure produces less vitamin D among women with naturally darker pigmentation." The authors do not recommend reducing breast cancer risk by sunbathing because the practice increases the risk of skin cancers. Rather, they suggest increasing the intake of the vitamin from fortified foods, fish, and supplements. "If future studies continue to show reductions in breast cancer risk associated with sun exposure, increasing vitamin D intake from diet and supplements may be the safest solution to achieve adequate levels of vitamin D," stated coauthor Gary Schwartz, PhD, of the Comprehensive Cancer Center at Wake Forest University School of Medicine. Co-researcher Sue Ingles, PhD added, "Since many risk factors for breast cancer are not modifiable, our finding that a modifiable factor, vitamin D, may reduce risk is important." Health Concern Breast cancer A wide variety of factors may influence an individual's likelihood of developing breast cancer; these factors are referred to as risk factors. The established risk factors for breast cancer include: female gender, age, previous breast cancer, benign breast disease, hereditary factors (family history of breast cancer), early age at menarche (first menstrual period), late age at menopause, late age at first full-term pregnancy, obesity, low physical activity, use of postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy, use of oral contraceptives, exposure to low-dose ionizing radiation in midlife and exposure to high-dose ionizing radiation early in life. Vitamin A and vitamin D3 inhibit breast cancer cell division and can induce cancer cells to differentiate into mature, noncancerous cells. Vitamin D3 works synergistically with tamoxifen (and melatonin) to inhibit breast cancer cell proliferation. The vitamin D-3 receptor as a target for breast cancer prevention was examined. Pre-clinical studies demonstrated that vitamin D compounds could reduce breast cancer development in animals. Furthermore, human studies indicate that both vitamin D status and genetic variations in the vitamin D-3 receptor (VDR) may affect breast cancer risk. Findings from cellular, molecular and population studies suggest that the VDR is a nutritionally modulated growth-regulatory gene that may represent a molecular target for chemoprevention of breast cancer (Welsh et al. 2003). Daily doses of vitamin A, 350,000 to 500,000 IU were given to 100 patients with metastatic breast carcinoma treated by chemotherapy. A significant increase in the complete response was observed; however, response rates, duration of response and projected survival were only significantly increased in postmenopausal women with breast cancer (Israel et al. 1985). http://www.lef.org/protocols/prtcl-022.shtml Featured Products Breast Health Formula Women today face a growing number of health issues, including the need to support gene structure in the breast. Detrimental factors such as the aging process, along with the daily bombardment of damaging environmental estrogen-like compounds, demonstrate the need to support a woman's breast cellular structure. A wealth of research shows that specific plant extracts can positively influence cellular status and remove some of the anxiety women face about maintaining a healthy balance of estrogens. http://www.lef.org/newshop/items/item00999.html Vitamin D3 Capsules Deficiencies of vitamin D are often found in the elderly and in women who have low intake of milk and receive inadequate exposure to sunlight. Vitamin D is potent in minute quantities; one microgram of cholecalciferol has 40 IU of vitamin D activity. http://www.lef.org/newshop/items/item00251.html Life Extension Vacations Cancun: A luxurious villa from $399* p/week p/villa (taxes included) Spend a week in Cancún with your family and friends and enjoy spacious villa accommodation in a spectacular beachfront setting at Club Internacional de Cancún.

Understand Rihanna through lipstick
Face it, this is Rihanna's moment. The pop star dazzled in Azzedine Alaia at the Grammy's, made headlines with her controversial date, Chris Brown, launched her first collection with UK high street retailer River Island during London Fashion Week over the weekend, and in today's news — on her 25th birthday —it was announced that she's teaming up with MAC cosmetics for not one but multiple collections that will hit stores later this year. It's the first time the cosmetic giant will collaborate with one celebrity on multiple lines. In this case, Rihanna will have four.
According to an exclusive interview with WWD, the first product up will be RiRi Woo, a lipstick inspired by MAC's best selling red, Ruby Woo, Rihanna's favorite.
So how does the pop star feel about all the multi-tasking: "Being creative is something that I love, so I can put that into different outlets. Music happens to be the first thing that I gravitated to, and now music opens doors to just so many different opportunities, and they all tie in," she told WWD. "My makeup looks, my fashion looks…they help me to express myself as an artist. I think it helps people to understand me or my mood, my story."
Did you hear that? Apply RiRi Woo and apparently you'll get why she's still with Chris Brown.

This oneliner gets all the 'modified' files in your git repository, and opens all of them in vim.
Very handy when you're starting to work in the morning and you simply want to review your modified files before committing them.
Maybe there are better ways to do that (and maybe integrated in vim and/or git, who knows), but I found quicker to do this oneliner.
This command should be copy-pasted in Windows, but very similar one will work on Linux.
It uses wget and sed.
Assumes you've cd'd to the folder in which all your git repos reside; you could run it from ~ without -maxdepth, although that might make find take quite a while longer.
If you have several processor cores, but not that much ram, you might want to run
git config --global pack.threads 1
first, since gc-ing can eat lots of ram.
simple table
It's useful to run run git st before you commit changes. To see an individual commit it's good practice to type git diff . If you are happy with what you see, to add the file, just type ^diff^add
Add this line to your ~/.gitconfig for a git alias "git brd" (i.e., brd = (br)anch+(d)ate) which sorts branches by date. Allows you to pass in limited "git branch" options such as "-r" (remote) or "-a" (all). (Note: forum added "$" prefix to command; obviously in gitconfig there is no "$" prefix.)
Revision: HEAD
g clone --local --bare . /repo.git
g remote add alias /repo.git
g push alias branch
g log -p filename
g checkout SHA1_rev
g reset --hard
g checkout -b new_branch
g ls-files --deleted
This command will automatically find the latest version of the file that was deleted and restore it to it's previous location. If, of course, your file was kept in a git repository...
I found this command on http://stackoverflow.com/a/1113140
This is useful when you are uploading svn project files to a new git repo.
Uses line-porcelain in git blame, which makes it easier to parse the output.
Written for Mac OSX. When you are working in a project and want to open it on Github.com, just type "gh" and your default browser will open with the repo you are in. Works for submodules, and repo's that you don't own.
You'll need to copy / paste this command into a gh.sh file, then create an alias in your bash or zsh profile to the gh.sh script. Detailed instructions here if you still need help:
Simpler and without all of the coloring gimmicks. This just returns a list of branches with the most recent first. This should be useful for cleaning your remotes.
Git uses secure hash sums for its revision numbers. I'm sure this is fine and dandy for ultra-secure computing, but it's less than optimal for humans. Thus, this will give you sequential revision numbers in Git all the way from the first commit.
If you don't have html2text
This fixes a bug found in the other scripts which fail when a branch has the same name as a file or directory in the current directory.
Great way to quickly grasp if a locally cloned repository originates from e.g. github or elsewhere.
attempts to delete all local branches. git will fail on any branches not fully merged into local master, so don't worry about losing work. git will return the names of any successfully deleted branches.

You killed Tatiana because you were jealous, didn't you, Tiffany Savage.

PPG Refinish
19699 Progress Drive
Strongsville, OH 44149
STRONGSVILLE, Ohio – January 7, 2010 – PPG Commercial Coatings has launched its advanced "thin-film" HSP-7401 Polyurethane Primer and AUE-50000 Series Polyurethane Topcoat wind turbine blade coating system. The coating system is designed specifically for wind turbine blades and uses a thinner build to reduce labor, material use and weight while providing unparalleled adhesion, erosion resistance and flexibility protection properties. PPG technical teams from around the world collaborated in developing the system.
"With the growing international demand for alternative, renewable energy forms, we know how important wind energy is," said Dave Chapman, PPG global marketing director, commercial coatings. "PPG is extremely active in supporting wind blade manufacturers through the development and application of superior coatings for their products. The HSP-7401 primer and AUE-50000 Series topcoat system sets a new standard for efficiency and will dramatically increase blade protection and durability while also lowering production and life-cycle costs."
The PPG HSP-7401/AUE-50000 series system was developed through extensive global testing against a wide range of blade coating standards and specifications. The polyurethane primer and topcoat components were specifically designed to work together. Using up to 60% less applied film than conventional polyurethane multi-coat systems, they provide outstanding adhesion and flexibility. HSP-7401 primer delivers outstanding adhesion to the composite substrate, the primary attribute required in wind turbine blade finishing. It is quick-drying and may be topcoated in as little as 30 minutes. AUE-50000 is an extremely erosion-resistant, weather-resilient polyurethane topcoat that offers the smoothness and protection from environmental attack elements required in wind blade applications.
When combined, PPG HSP-7401 and AUE-50000 reduce labor and material costs, extend service life, boost blade energy output and increase overall efficiency. The system is also VOC-compliant to 420 g/l. The two components produce an excellent balance of performance properties that deliver long-term, low-maintenance asset protection in any operating environment including challenging desert and offshore situations.
"Our blade coatings help protect the entire wind energy investment," adds Chapman. "We're committed to providing our customers with coatings products that add real, measurable value and will enhance their success."
PPG has been producing coatings for wind turbine blades for more than 30 years. Understanding the process of harnessing and delivering wind energy, as well as the harsh conditions in which wind turbines must operate, has enabled PPG to develop coatings solutions for this rapidly growing industry.

The U.S. Import Price Index fell 0.3 percent in February. The decrease was led by a 1.9-percent downturn in fuel prices, which more than offset a 0.2-percent advance in nonfuel prices. Export prices fell 0.5 percent in February after advancing 0.7 percent in each of the previous two months.
In February, import prices decreased for the first time since a 0.6-percent decline in July, falling 0.3 percent. The February downturn followed a 1.3-percent advance in January and was driven by a turnaround in fuel prices. Despite the February decline, import prices advanced 11.2 percent for the year ended in February.
Import fuel prices countered an upward trend in February, falling 1.9 percent following a 4.9-percent rise in January. A 2.2-percent decline in petroleum prices was slightly offset by a 2.6-percent increase in natural gas prices. Over the past year, the price index for petroleum increased 81.3 percent and natural gas prices rose 16.3 percent, driving overall fuel prices up 70.8 percent for the same period.
Prices for nonfuel imports rose for the seventh consecutive month, advancing 0.2 percent. The increase was led by higher prices for nonfuel industrial supplies and materials. Lower prices for foods, feeds, and beverages, capital goods, and consumer goods mitigated the overall advance. Over the past 12 months, nonfuel import prices increased 2.0 percent.
Export prices decreased for the first time in five months, falling 0.5 percent in February. The February drop was the largest monthly decline since the index fell 0.7 percent in March 2009. Lower agricultural prices accounted for approximately 65 percent of the overall decline. Despite the February decrease, the price index for overall exports rose 3.1 percent over the past 12 months.
The price index for agricultural exports fell 3.8 percent in February, following a 1.3-percent advance in January. Lower prices for soybeans, corn, and wheat led the downturn in agricultural prices. For the year ended in February, agricultural prices rose 2.3 percent.
Nonagricultural prices declined 0.2 percent in February, the first decrease in 11 months. Lower prices for nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials and capital goods contributed to the overall decline in February. The price index for nonagricultural export prices increased 3.3 percent for the year ended in February.
These data are from the BLS International Price program. Import and export price data are subject to revision. For more information, see "U.S. Import and Export Price Indexes — February 2010" (HTML) (PDF), news release USDL-10-0315.

Rockcastle County Student Participates in KSP 'Drive To Stay Alive' Program
Date of News Release: 09/21/2009
(Frankfort, Ky.) -- Rockcastle County High School (RCHS) students, Chris Rogers was among twenty-one students throughout the state selected by Kentucky State Police to participate in the 'Drive to Stay Alive' program. The program ran from September 13 - 16, 2009 and was held at the KSP Training Academy in Frankfort.
The 'Drive to Stay Alive' program teaches the students safe driving techniques by KSP instructors with hands-on road driving and classroom exercises, including the dangers of driving impaired, seat belt safety, distracted and aggressive driving.
Mr. Rogers is the son of Brad Rogers and Lynda Rogers in Mt. Vernon. He is excited to bring back what he learned to his local community.
"I learned the correct way to set up a car and gain control of it in different situations," said Rogers. "I had a fun time learning as well. "
Highway Safety Branch Commander Capt. David Jude explained that the 'Drive to Stay Alive' program was designed not only to decrease teen crashes but to provide students with the tools to be advocates in their own communities.
"The training includes topics such as collision causation, vehicle dynamics and skid control, backing skills, multiple turns and lane interchange, safety belts and air bags, evasive maneuvers, off-road recovery, and controlled braking," advised Jude.
According to Jude, the real potential of the "Drive To Stay Alive" (DTSA) program begins after the students return to their schools.
"The students are teamed with an experienced state trooper to spread the message to the student body in each school and to their community as well," he says. "The effectiveness of the program is based on the concept that a message conveyed by a fellow student carries more weight with other students and is therefore more memorable."
The DTSA students are evaluated and scored on the safe driving programs they present in their respective schools and communities. The students with the most effective programs, resulting in increased seat belt usage, are eligible for scholarship funds. Their school will be rewarded as well.
Last year in Kentucky, teen drivers accounted for 22,990 collisions. Of that figure, there were 87 fatal crashes. Even more alarming, are the 2008 Driving Under the Influence (DUI) charges for drivers between the ages of 16-19. There were 2,862 first offense DUI charges and 128 second offense charges filed in Kentucky district court last year.
"The goal of this program is to decrease teen fatalities on Kentucky roadways," says KSP Commissioner Rodney Brewer. "Nationally, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among teenagers. Programs like "Drive To Stay Alive' are directly impacting the Commonwealth by resulting in a decrease in teen highway deaths."
Commissioner Brewer believes the "Drive To Stay Alive" program will have a lasting effect on these teens.
"These students have a unique opportunity to make a real difference," says Brewer.
"They can help influence on-the-road driving behaviors and save lives on Kentucky's roadways. It's a very worthwhile goal that will require dedication on their part, but it's worth it if they save even one life. It could be their own, their best friend, a neighbor or a family member."
For more information about the 'Drive To Stay Alive' program or how your school can get involved, please contact the KSP Highway Safety Branch at (502) 695-6306.

1539: Richard Whiting, the last Abbot of Glastonbury
November 15th, 2009 Headsman
Letter to Thomas Cromwell from his man in Somerset,* Richard Pollard, a local gentry type making out well under the Dissolution of the Monasteries:
Pleaseth it your lordship to be advertised, that … the same 15th day [of November] the late abbot of Glastonbury went from Wells to Glastonbury, and there was drawn through the town upon a hurdle to the hill called the Torre, where he was put to execution; at which time he asked God mercy and the king for his great offences towards his highness, and also desired my servants then being there present to see the execution done, that they would be meane [communicate] to my lord president and to me that we should desire the king's highness of his merciful goodness and in the way of charity to forgive him his great offences by him committed and done against his grace, and thereupon took his death very patiently, and his head and body bestowed in like manner as I certified your lordship in my last letter. And likewise the other two monks [John Thorne and Roger James, executed with Richard Whiting] desired like forgiveness, and took their death very patiently, whose souls God pardon.
And whereas I at my last being with your lordship at London moved your lordship for my brother Paulett, desiring your lordship to be a mean that he might have the surveyorship of Glastonbury, which I doubt not but he will use and exercise the said office to the king's most profit and advantage, and your lordship's goodness herein to him to be shown he shall recompense to his little power, I assure your lordship he hath been very diligent, and divers others by his means, to serve the king at this time, according to his duty and right…
the late abbot of Glastonbury, afore his execution, was examined upon divers articles and interrogatories to him ministered by me, but he could accuse no man but himself of any offence against the king's highness, nor he would confess no more gold nor silver nor any other thing more than he did before your lordship in the Tower …
From Wells, the 16th day of November.
Your assured to command,
Rychard Pollard
Once one of the greatest religious houses in England (and the legendary burial place of King Arthur), Glastonbury Abbey today is a picturesque ruin. Cornell University has published some 19th century photos of the abbey's remains in a less manicured, more gorgeously overgrown situation.
Pollard had just a few weeks before exonerated the monastery of any profligacy, and the abbot seems perhaps not to have even been properly charged or attainted … but as one can discern in Pollard's cloying appeal to keep the surveying position in the family, the practical henchman had no qualms as events unfolded about taking a commercial position on the end of the Abbot of Glastonbury.
For your public domain perusing pleasure: The last abbot of Glastonbury: and other essays, by Cardinal Francis Aidan Gasquet.
* Pollard had been in the thick of the destruction of Henry Courtenay, Marquess of Exeter just the year before.

By January 1539, Glastonbury was the only monastery left in Somerset, and on 19 September of that year the royal commissioners, Layton, Richard Pollard and Thomas Moyle, arrived there without warning on the orders of Thomas Cromwell.

Under the cover of darkness Sunday night, vandals downed alcohol, threw rocks and smashed the windows—along with over a decade of hard work, financial sacrifices and prayers—of a Chantilly mosque.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim community was reeling Monday after learning of the destruction at the construction site, which leaders estimated could cost up to $60,000 to repair. The vandals took out most of the glass windows and doors on the first floor, and even two windows high on the second floor.
"It's kind of devastating to see," said Usman Ghumman, the general secretary. "All the windows are smashed in, like in an insane way. Like somebody went systematically, door to door, to whatever's reachable."
More upsetting than the financial damage, however, is the fact that the mosque's opening will now have to be delayed. The glass was specially-ordered and shaped, and cost between $3,000 to $6,000 per window, Ghumman said. It will take a long time to order and replace it, even if the insurance covers the entire cost in a timely fashion.
When the construction workers—who had been putting extra hours in on the weekends so the mosque could open in late February—left the site around 4:30 p.m. on Sunday afternoon, the site was fine. When the morning crew arrived early Monday, shards of glass were everywhere. The majority of the windows on the first floor were broken. Beer cans and empty alcohol containers were strewn all over—"enough for 20 men," said Tariq Hassan, of EMSI Engineering, the company building the mosque.
Ghumman said the vandals did not steal anything from the mosque, so he believes that they were specifically targeted, due to the amount of effort it would have taken to vandalize the building.
The irony is the Ahmadiyya Muslim community promotes peace, he said. Their motto is "love for all, hatred for none." The community is persecuted in some Islamic countries because of some of their beliefs, but hoped to reside peacefully in "a community where the Constitution says every man is able to worship, and there's freedom of religion," Ghumman said.
Ghumman and his community have experienced devastating vandalism before. Six or seven years ago, vandals broke into another mosque in the DC area and desecrated the Koran, he said.
The construction of the new mosque near Westfields Boulevard had evoked opposition from nearby neighborhoods over certain elements of the project, such as the height of the dome. After more than a decade of preparation, though, the community was finally ready to open the mosque, tentatively planned for the end of February.
Fairfax County police have dedicated considerable time and resources to finding the perpetrator or perpetrators. Detectives were investigating the site for a good portion of the day, and brought a dog to sniff over the area. The investigation is in early stages, but a priority for the officers at the Sully District Station. Anyone with information may contact Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS/8477.
As for the community, they have filed an insurance claim and intend to press charges against whoever vandalized the area.
"When things come along so well, you don't expect it," Ghumman said. "Like it was too good to be true. Then all of a sudden something like this happens. It sets you back."
