Enterovirus Outbreak: What signs to watch for with your children
There have been quite a few news stories out there about the "mysterious" respiratory virus that has been found in 10 different states and has spread quickly to infect hundreds of children. The virus has caused these children to get very sick very quickly and many have required hospitalization for treatment. This virus has come out of nowhere and is spreading rapidly, considering the time of year (during the winter this kind of outbreak would be more expected due to staying indoors, sharing items in school, etc.) What is the scoop on this virus and how concerned should you be for your children? Let's not listen to the hype and break it down!

Monarch butterfly. They need milkweeds in order to breed.
I have snails in my garden. These aren't those snails. These are different snails that live about 40 minutes from my home. There's a spot of milkweeds in a certain field that I know about that host terrestrial snails, preying mantises, and various butterfly caterpillars. I just bought a Lensbaby. I figured these little guys would make perfect subjects for this lens. Let me know what you think.

Human Without God: My Life In Savannah
In my memory Savannah was always hot and humid. Maybe that's why those giant oaks threw their dense shadows all over the town, cooled down the brutal summer heat. Streets were laid out neatly, on each sides stood elegant old style buildings and houses, which was why Savannah drew tourists. At intersections of streets there were garden-like squares, in which you would see people walking leisurely, or sitting on the benches chatting friendly, while feeding pigeons or squirrels. Everyday, colorful tour buses drove by with the speed of snails, some time even stopped for a while, let passionate tour guides to finish their fascinating stories. Old style coaches moved by now and then, also slowly, but those handsome horses would keep their paces brisk. The showy coach drivers in colonial costume occasionally took off hats, gently greeted to people with smiles. The crisp sound of horse hooves sometime could be heard from blocks away, made the town even quieter than it was.

Recent studies at and Nutrition Research in Australia (C-PAN) gives me a clue as to why I have such a difficult time keeping our home tidy. Researchers found that dusting, vacuuming and scrubbing the bath generate physical health benefits yet the monotony of the menial work brings no mental health rewards. Now I know why I find it so difficult to do housework – it's monotonous! Of course it's monotonous! Oh, I've known a few people who actually enjoy housework, but I've just assumed they are mentally unstable…perhaps even more unstable than me.

Powerful Goals That Changed Our Lives
I think that we all have some sort of goal, or desire, or wish that we would like to achieve some day. It's just human nature that we would have these individual feelings about something we would like to do, or become. Maybe it's something you have carried with you since childhood or just realized. Perhaps you were dealt a lousy hand as a child and always knew you wanted to change your life someday. We all walk around with hidden feelings, and sometimes we divulge them to our closest friends just to get their opinion about what we're thinking. This could be an admirable thing, but more times than not, it's an obstacle

Character development always involves a choice, and temptation provides that opportunity."

A Design Lover's Guide to Venice
Apartment Therapy's Design Destination Guide
• Mercerie: A trio of interconnected streets between the Piazza San Marco and Ponte di Rialto is the shopping "district" of Mercerie. If you've got a pretty penny to spend, you can make your way over to the high-end, designer shops of Cartier, Gucci and Versace.
• Cartè, (Calle di Cristi 1731 San Polo): If you're a paper nut, definitely make sure not to miss this gem of Venice. With handbound portfolios in traditional Italian and marbled papers, this shop is a crafter's dream.
• Laura Crovato (Calle della Bottegha, San Marco 2995): A second-hand shop for the designer brand lover, Laura Crovato offers high-end labels at low prices.
Please help us out and add to the guide in the comments - what are your recommendations for Venice?

Beautiful! Ready to book a flight now!
Nice post but it is "Vedi Napoli e poi Muori" or "see Naples and die", not Venice.
Once you have seen all the recommended sites, just start walking away from touristic attractions and you'll find yourself in some beautiful spot of Venezia, where people actually live! The saying about setting Venice and die is actually about Naples: vedi Napoli e poi Mori/ see Napoli and then Mori, which is a town not far from Naples but it means also "die".
When I went to Venice, I was dead-set to *not* take a gondola ride. It seemed so touristy (and yes, I was a tourist) and not worth it. I'm so glad my friends dragged me on one. It was actually quite lovely. I probably don't need to do it again should I ever return to Venice, partially because it was so unexpectedly nice on such a beautiful evening with some amazing people, that kind of want that to be my one memory of such an experience.
I agree with Gigigia though, later on we got lost walking around far enough away from the basilica and seeing another side of the town was my other favorite part of the visit.
While the Accademia is an amazing, must-see collection, when I was there in May most of it was off-limits due to renovations, so make sure you know what galleries are open before you go--a good guidebook will give you detailed room descriptions.
Other interesting museums: The small Fortuny Museum, with its beautiful interiors, has the benefit that house museums have of letting you vicariously imagine yourself living there. For something in a completely different mood, the Punta della Dogana contemporary art collection is often disturbing and serious--jerking you back to the present after your past-haunted walks through Venice. I deeply regret not having time to go to the Mocenigo Palace Museum that specializes in textiles, costume, fashion and furniture, but you always miss something don't you...and have to hope you get to go back.
best food hands down in Venice is anywhere near the "Jewish Ghetto", that's true in most of Italy. I've been to Venice twice and always ate far from Piazza San Marco. Venice is wonderful in the "off" season.
The first time we went, we stayed in the Duodo Palace Hotel, which is near the Fenice Opera house, and around the corner from the house that George Sand lived in while she was there. It was a great location, a beautiful hotel, and a lovely experience. The second time we went, we rented an apartment in San Marco. It was way less expensive, and so nice to be able to 'come home' at the end of the day. There was the added bonus of laundry facilities, too! And spending breakfast watching the delivery barges negotiating the narrow canals.
I don't remember street musicians in Piazza San Marco - I would have thought that the cafe orchestras would have something to say about that! But, there's nothing to beat sitting in a cafe - particularly on a less-touristed square or fondamenta, drinking a spritz and enjoying the life of the city. We spent a lovely half hour listening to a man explain to his two lolling pugs that they needed to get up soon, or they'd miss the next vaporetto. Again.
Ah, Venice. One of my most favourite places on earth. Agree with the Jewish Ghetto having some of the best food. And it's hard not to go anywhere around the island without seeing art or beautiful interiors everywhere. Full-on assault of the senses. Just take a stroll down any street and you'll find something inspirational.
Went to Venice in May. I could ride the vaparetto 24/7. I did get lost and have some of the best pictures from wandering around away from the tourist areas.
We had our anniversary dinner at the delicious Ristorante Da Raffaele (S. Marco 2347, 30124 Venice, Italy). It sits right on the canal and is a picturesque place to watch the sun go down and the gondolas float through.
When my granddaughter was 15, she & I made a trip to Europe and picked our favorite places which we had visited earlier, but separately. I made sure I'd photograph her feeding the pigeons at San Marco Square where her delighted father at 11 had stood years before; however, his daughter was horrified by the birds!.
Amazing especially when you allow yourself to get lost!
I went to Venice as a poor student. My friends and I stayed in Lido, a island apart from Venice, but on the water bus route. It was actually a very economical way to see Venice and we missed out on nothing. We got lost in the back streets one night looking for St. Marks Square and after passing the same building a few times, a kind woman stuck her head out her window and shouted directions to us. So fun! I LOVE Venezia!
You can't beat Venice . . .
I avoided going back to Venice... I'd been there as a student, and so had been to see all the key things, but it's so full of tourists and Chinese glass pretending to be from Murano that I was quite turned-off. But, we had a fall vacation, and somehow, it beckoned, and so we went.
We stayed in a small pensione in the San Paolo district, and it was a beautiful time of year. University students were in the process of graduating, and besides celebratory lunches in restaurants, could be seen performing strange rituals in public squares (!). Every evening, we stopped in at the local shop a calle down from our rooms, drank a glass of prosecco with the locals at the tiny zinc counter, and walked away with bags of local cookies, zaletti and bussola. The real Venice is still there, and can be found, you just have to dig a little and research before you go.
Thank you for this!! We are going to visit Venice soon on our honeymoon and these are some great tips. Now if only you could do a Design guide to Barcelona, we'd be all set ;)

Digital Georgia - Around the Arch
June 2013 Issue
Georgia was well represented when the Digital Public Library of America prototype launched in April, an initial step toward making available to every American the collections of libraries, archives and museums across the country. The groundbreaking project aims to be a central entrance to a national public library, making local archives digital, searchable and freely accessible. Launched last summer by Harvard University, the DPLA created seven pilot sites with libraries in Georgia, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oregon, South Carolina and Utah to serve as regional hubs. In Georgia, the Digital Library of Georgia serves as the regional hub. The DLG is an initiative of GALILEO, Georgia's statewide virtual library, and is based at the UGA Libraries. Content from more than 60 Georgia repositories became available through the Digital Public Library of America, and more will be added. For more information on the DPLA, see http://dp.la/.

Narrow your search
This is the daily tech show to beat all others.
Whether you want a high-quality printer, an all-in-one workhorse, a compact photo printer, or a simp
Cloud access, Wi-Fi connectivity, and an external USB port in addition to the company's mobile printing app make the Epson WorkForce WF-2540 a good fit for smaller work-groups and start-ups with moderate printing needs.
Despite taking its time to print snapshot photos and graphics-heavy documents, the Epson WorkForce 635's affordable inks and double-sided printing confirm its office suitability and earn our approval.
Though it's slightly more expensive than competing inkjet workhorses, we recommend the Epson WorkForce 845 for its refined design and Epson's Connect cloud-printing portfolio.
The Monoprice Dual Extrusion 3D Printer is a fun, versatile, and comparatively affordable machine for hobbyists who want to enter the emerging world of 3D printing.
The Epson NX430 "Small-in-One" printer is a solid investment for students and office jockeys who print high-quality photos and documents but don't have the space for a large format device.
The Epson WorkForce 840 costs a bit more than the average all-in-one inkjet, but its strong performance and long list of features more than justify its price and CNET's Editors' Choice Award.
The Epson Artisan 800 produces impressive color prints, photos, and text documents, and it outpaces the competition in almost all of our speed tests. We're impressed by its performance, but hesitate to recommend this printer based on the poor build quality and error-prone software.
Despite its remote-printing capabilities, the Kodak ESP 3.2's design blunders and inconsistent performance are unacceptable in the face of competing multifunctions in the sub-$100 category.
Complete with wireless access, remote printing in the cloud, an interactive touch screen, and several paper trays, the Epson WorkForce WF-3540 is well-prepared to handle large workloads for home offices, corporate teams, and everything in between.
The Officejet Pro X576dw delivers a generous serving of features exclusive to HP, including a new Pagewide printhead that grants it the speed benefits of a laser printer while maintaining the color print quality of an inkjet, making it worthwhile for offices shopping for a professional imaging solution.

Congratulations on your new website!
Websites that offer paid memberships are actually pretty successful and profitable. Many evolve into full-blown online communities because of their success. There are hundreds of examples of these websites and communities. A quick Google search will reveal hundreds, but it's good to study the masters.
There is an art and science to running a successful membership-based website with much of it resting on the website owner's ability to provide content that the members will not be able to receive anywhere else. One membership website that's very successful is 5000 B.C. owned by Sean D'Souza: http://www.5000bc.com/.

ATHENS — Aaron Murray is every bit the video junkie. But unlike normal, he dreaded getting up this past Sunday morning to head over to the football complex to review the tape of Georgia's game against Florida.
Well, the first half at least.
"It was not good," Murray said, but smiling and laughing as he did. "I tried not to go in but I had to get in here and watch the film. Definitely, there were some errors."
The Bulldogs' record-setting quarterback was breaking some personal records on infamy as he threw three interceptions in the opening two quarters against Florida. But Murray rebounded with a 45-yard touchdown pass in the second half and Georgia held on for decisive 17-9 win over the Gators.
Murray's final line was not one of his better ones: 12-of-24 passing for 150 yards, 1 TD and 3 interceptions. But

Maybe the first time I went to Orgrimmar. I knew zero about the game, I just bought the $2 trial and rolled an orc. I did my thing and then wondered what that big thing was up north, and I was totally overwhelmed walking in, thinking I'd never be able to remember where all these stores were. I saw the stone for RFC and had no idea what was with that big rock out front. I went in only to run out later...
Another one would be getting 50 mounts for the Albino Drake back when it was tough.
I might have to go with completing the Netherwing rep grind too, though. It was the first rep grind I ever did, and it was much more of a status symbol back then, and it ended in a very cool way. Very fun.
Kemikalkadet said...
Mine's similar but with Undercity instead of Org. The first character i ever rolled was an undead lock and after the first few quests i decided to go out exploring. I found the ruins of lordaeron and was wandering around it thinking how cool and spooky it looked. Then i found one of the lifts at the back and found this huge sprawling underground city, back then the undercity had a lot more players milling about too which added to it. I was amazed that there was such a huge underground city hidden in the middle of nowhere (back then i thought i'd travelled miles into the wilderness on my trek from the undead start zone to the undercity xP).
Going off of the rep grind thing. I remember finally getting exalted with timbermaw at level 73 and doing the final quest for the timbermaws to kill the demon that was corrupting all of the winterfall tribe. As a pally it's the perfect quest; purifying the evil taint that is corrupting the world, cleansing a region of the world. And then immediately running to reg UK and using the trinket to summon a timbermaw furbolg to fight against Ingvar the Plunderer. It was the perfect ending to the genocide of millions upon millions of felwood furbolgs.

I have almond milk every morning in my shake. Should I now not eat almonds as a snack during the day?
by: KateHough
Hi Cookie - where did this limit of 13 almonds per day come from? Just curious. Yes, you can have almond milk and it won't be detrimental to your nutrition program. Almond milk is pretty benign when it comes to nutrition. It's there mostly for flavor and to add a greater viscosity to your shake than water does. Almond milk is also fortified with calcium and magnesium, so drink up!
Thank you for you response. I have always be told that you should not eat more then a handful of almonds a day, because other then being good for you they are also high in fat. I love the almond milk in my shake, but the question is, can I still eat almonds for a snack later in the day or is this to much of a good thing?

While accepting the RJR Sports Foundation National Sportsman of the Year Award — the fifth of his career — in Kingston on Friday, track and field superstar Usain Bolt announced his support of the World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) plan to implement hair follicle testing to catch drug users.
Bolt said he was surprised by the proposed change at first — the WADA normally uses blood and urine samples to conduct their testing — but said he felt stricter testing measures could only be good for the sport:
This is the first I'm hearing it. But I think that anyway you can crack down on drug use in sports, I have no problem with it. If it's a new rule and it's a better way to clamp down on this, then I welcome it (Inside the Games).
Carey Brown, the new executive director of the Jamaican Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO), also voiced his support for the plan:
We welcome anything like that because, I mean, it would be something new… something innovative/ Using hair follicles, as well, is also less invasive.

Green Style: Lumberjack Decor
Perhaps it's the start of fall, or because we're always trying to find a way to bring the outdoors inside, or maybe I'm just resigning myself to the fact that my husband will never get rid of his threadbare plaid "study" jacket. Whatever the reason, I've got lumberjacks on the mind.
• Field and Stream's one-of-a-kind buffalo plaid bike
• Plaid couch from Cilla Ramnek and Carl Holtermann's home
• Ralph Lauren Buffalo Check sham
• Brett's "Lumberjack and Bear" wall art
• Plaid walls and pillows
• Handwoven Northwoods Lumberjack rag rug from Etsy
• Designer Axes

I think this is spilling over from fashion. Lumberjack plaid and flannel has been quite popular en masse for the last 3-4 years.
Makes me long for the days when my handsome, bearded lumberjack would hold me in his strong arms.
Idea #9 is really fun but I think the wallpaper in #8 looks like it'd be better wrapping paper.
I cut down trees. I eat my lunch. I go to the lavat'ry. On Wednesdays I go shoppin', and have buttered scones for tea.
my man's got a big ol' beard and lots of thermals. this is perfect for us. but how much plaid is too much plaid?
I think the only two I would go near would be the plaid chaise and the fun plaid painted wall... Not entirely sure what I'd do with bright, fun axes (I live in NYC and I'm 98.3% certain I'd get arrested the minute I garnered one in public...)

Thank you, nohj. As soon as I saw the title of the post I started singing, "I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok..." I'm so glad I'm not the only one. :-)

Viking Fans: The Sage Rosenfels Experience Has Begun
To say that the last week has been a disappointment for Vikings fans in terms of their quarterback situation is an understatement. First Brett Favre came out and decided to stay retired and then over the weekend Tarvaris Jackson hurts his knee. While the Vikings are saying they aren't concerned about Jackson's injury, this team should be concerned about his ability's overall. Tarvaris is probably one of tho ...Read more ›

(1711-99).One of China's longest-reigning emperors was the Qianlong (also spelled Ch'ien-lung) emperor. The fourth emperor of the Qing (Manchu) Dynasty, he took the throne in 1735 and stepped down voluntarily in 1796. During his reign, Chinese armies conquered large parts of Central Asia. He also called upon scholars to compile the major writings in the four traditional branches of Chinese learning-classical, historical, philosophical, and literary-into a set of 36,275 handwritten volumes. At the same time, he ordered that some 2,600 books that expressed anti-Manchu sentiments be destroyed.

Ship shortages are a big part of EVE Online, and probably the biggest logistical problem that affects individual corporation members while living in dangerous space. The unsafe transport of goods to your null-sec or low-sec port of call, shortage of minerals, and bulk of ship hulls all make things difficult.
Fortunately, there are ways to reduce the mineral and bulk problems. Minerals can be turned into particular kinds of modules and ammunition that occupy significantly less cargo space. These are then refined back into minerals at the destination, and used to build the ship hulls that would otherwise be too large to effectively transport.
This guide covers what is required to make "battlecruiser care packages" that contain everything needed to assemble a battlecruiser within a single, easy to transport giant secure container. In each case there is extra room in the container for ship modules, ammo, and other accoutrements, or other goods needed at your destination.
What Is Mineral Compression?
Battlecruisers are a popular ship class due to the ease that newbies can get into them, and their low price.
Some modules have better compression rates than others, especially for particular sets of minerals. Many are not useful for compression at all because they occupy more space than the raw minerals would. The idea when compressing is to try to have as close to the needed minerals as possible, so as not to waste space carrying unnecessary ingredients.
What Is A Care Package?
A care package is a single giant secure canister that contains everything needed to assemble a particular ship. In the case of battlecruisers, this means compressed minerals and a blueprint copy, with the possible addition of whatever fittings you deem appropriate. The actual package need not include the container, but it is often helpful to have everything partitioned thus prior to being moved, to ensure that the correct amounts of each ingredient are present, or for contracting on the far end.
Due to the not quite exact compression rates, there are often small amounts of minerals left over. These can be retained as a sort of "petty cash" cache of minerals, to be used for inevitable mineral overruns from sub-par blueprint efficiency or refining tax losses.
Decompressing A Care Package
Decompressing and assembling a care package requires perfect or near-perfect refining skills (Scrapmetal Processing IV), perfect manufacturing skills (Production Efficiency V), and access to a refining station that will not tax your mineral refining too much.
You must be a Premium Member to view this Pro Tip.
Find out more about the benefits of membership.
The station to be used for refining must have a high enough base refining rate that no minerals will be lost. With regards to player-controlled outposts, a Minmatar Service Outpost is best.
When in doubt about the refining rate, try using your refining character to refine a random module and see what the "unrecoverable" and "we take" columns say. Ignore the total percentile refine rate listing, as that is bugged and does not take into account the Scrapmetal Processing skill. Just look at the minerals listed, and see if you are losing very much. Note that if an outpost is upgraded, or is a conquerable station with an especially high refining rate, then it may be possible to get a 100% efficiency refine rate even without very skills. Taxes are another matter, though, and in conquerable stations they are determined by the controlling corporation.
Because it is impractical to guess at varying skills and taxes, these care packages assume a perfect refine, a 0% tax , and a well-researched blueprint for the purposes of calculation.
In practice, this is possible only if you are a member of a very generous alliance that allows 0% refines (though this is not quite as rare as you might think) or access to an NPC station with whom you have high enough corporation standings (6.67 to that NPC corporation) to not be taxed. Make up any difference with your pool of "petty cash" minerals. As long as your skills are not too lacking and the taxes are not too arduous, things should be all right.

Starbuck and Adama are on the catwalk over the flight deck, watching as the Raider is prepared. Starbuck explains that she's going to do a flight test of the autopilot and navigation before they head for Kobol. Then she says she has a question for him: "How much longer 'til we reach Earth?" Adama meets her eyes and then looks away before hedging that "it's hard to say." She oh-so-casually presses him without any luck, and finally asks if they're getting closer. Adama says, "I'm sure we are," and a little asterisk appears over his head that leads Starbuck to a footnote reading, "In the sense that I have no idea." He wishes her luck and exits. Starbuck stares after him grumpily.
Starbuck flies the Raider out among the fleet. The interior has been de-gookified, and now there's a little keyboard and some monitors inside. I think I see duct tape holding one of the drapey cables together, too, which is great. Apollo flies escort as they move out into open space beyond the fleet. Starbuck says she's preparing to test the autopilot. She holds her fingers over the keyboard, and hesitates. Then she closes her eyes and radios, "Request permission to speak with Galactica actual."
CIC. Dualla tells Adama that Starbuck's on a scrambled channel, asking to speak with him. Adama picks up a phone as Tigh watches. Starbuck says, "I believed you. Believed in Earth." Adama fretfully asks what she's doing. Starbuck answers, "Bringing home the cat, Sir." Cat? There's a cat? Adama says that they can talk this over, but Starbuck disagrees. Tigh is close by, looking worried, as Adama firmly tells Starbuck, "I do not regret anything that I did. Be sure that whatever you're gonna do, you don't regret it later. Do you understand me?" Starbuck replies, "I guess we'll find out." She ends the call and starts working the keyboard. Adama hangs up as Gaeta announces that Starbuck is starting the Raider's FTL drive.
Apollo asks, "What are you doing, Kara?" He follows just behind the Raider, which suddenly breaks off and then winks out. Apollo calls in to Galactica and reports that Starbuck has jumped.
CIC. Tigh somewhat accusingly asks Adama where Starbuck is going. Adama stares into space and says, "Home."
Next time: Crashdown shakes Baltar, Boomer gets a mission, and Apollo draws a gun on Tigh. Woo.
Production card: Moore says, "This will shock you." Eick laughs and magic sparks shoot out of his hands. Moore glows, turns into Martha Stewart, and falls to his knees shrieking, "No!" like the Wicked Witch. It's worth going through it slowly to catch the image of Stewart with a mustache.

Echofon for Twitter
Platform: Android
Price: Free
Here's something of a rarity these days: a Twitter client that's still in active development, and without a price of AU$20 or a bunch of crying that Twitter is stopping it from making money. Probably because it is sitting on an awfully large amount of user tokens.
Given that the official Twitter client for Android is not outstanding by any definition, if you are in the market for a new Twitter client, maybe this one is for you. Echofon also has a Pro version, which is available for AU$5.

Vascepa | icosapent ethyl
Medication Class:ĀOmega-3 fatty acid
Manufactured by:ĀAmarin PharmaceuticalsĀ
Approval Date:ĀJuly 2012
What is Vascepa and how does it work
Vascepa is essentially purified fish oil. Its active ingredient, icosapent ethyl, is an omega-3 fatty acid derived from eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of "good fat" that reduce triglycerides in the blood. When triglycerides are too high, they can increase the risk of heart disease and pancreatitis. According to the American Heart Association, triglyceride levels should be at or below 100 mg/dL. Vascepa works by decreasing the production and release of triglycerides in the liver and increases clearance of triglycerides from the blood stream.
What does Vascepa treat
Vascepa, in combination with a healthy diet, helps lower triglycerides in adults with severely high triglyceride levels (≥500 mg/dL).
How effective is Vascepa
When Vascepa was studied in adults with severely high triglyceride levels, patients treated with Vascepa saw a reduction in the following markers of "bad cholesterol" when compared to individuals that did not receive Vascepa:
The reduction in triglycerides seen with Vascepa was not associated with increased LDL-C, which is a key indicator of "bad cholesterol" in the blood.
The effect of Vascepa on the risk of pancreatitis in patients with severely high triglyceride levels has not been determined.
The effect of Vascepa on heart problems in patients with severely high triglyceride levels has not been determined.
What are interesting facts about Vascepa
What are the side effects of Vascepa
Joint pain
Sore throat
Prolonged bleeding time
Patients allergic to fish oil should use Vascepa with caution
How is Vascepa dosed and administered
Vascepa should be taken as two 1 gram capsules twice daily with food (4 grams per day).
What are Vascepa drug interactions
Vascepa was studied with warfarin, atorvastatin, rosiglitazone and omeprazole, which share a similar elimination pathway, and no significant drug interactions were seen.
Omega-3 fatty acids may increase the time it takes for blood to clot, increasing the risk of bleeding. Patients treated with Vascepa who are also taking a medication that increases bleeding should be monitored periodically.
What is the cost of Vascepa
The price of Vascepa 1 gram capsules is between $211 to $264 dollars for 120 capsules. Save on Vascepa prescriptions cost by signing up for theĀVascepa Savings Card.ĀDiscountĀcouponsĀare also available form many pharmacies.

Docklands isn't as much of a suburb of Melbourne as it a part of the city itself. Once an industrial shipping area - hence the name Docklands - the area went under an intense urban renewal program and emerged a cultural hotspot. Today the suburb is known for its shopping, sports, and residential areas.
Docklands is one of the most convenient suburbs in the Melbourne area. Travellers can walk into the city or hop aboard the free City Circle tram, designed especially for tourists. River cruise boats service the region and the Southern Cross station is also within walking distance. Southern Cross station will certainly come in handy if you're attending the Melbourne Cup, as there are regular direct train services to the track! Perfect for the racing enthusiast!
Since Docklands was only recently turned into a residential area, you'll find the lodging to be more contemporary than most other Melbourne accommodation. Furnishings are sleek and current with all the modern amenities. Nearly all Docklands holiday rentals are apartments, but many have several bedrooms and can sleep quite a few. Waterfront views are also popular among Docklands rentals.
If you're a sports fan, you've come to the right place. The famous Docklands Stadium is at the heart of Australian rules football. Take a look at the stadium schedule and see what's playing while you're in town.
Waterfront City is another fun area to visit in Docklands. Families will love the carnival rides and shows at Wonderland Fun Park. To cool off on a hot day, visit the Medibank Icehouse for a day of ice skating or a night of "ice dancing," when the DJs come in on Friday and Saturday nights.
NewQuay, a waterfront shopping and dining centre, is a major cultural hub in the Docklands. You'll find an eclectic blend of restaurants, cafes, bars, shops, and art all along the water. Travellers are free to walk along the boardwalk, grab a latte, or splurge on some authentic gelato. With over 20 bars and restaurants, you're sure to find what you're craving on any given night. New special events or festivals are always coming to NewQuay, so be sure to check the schedule to find out what's going on while you're in town.
Not sure where to go? The best restaurant at New Quay - and one of the best restaurants in Melbourne - is Mecca Bah, a Middle-Eastern restaurant overlooking the Yarra River. Try the mezze plates if it's your first time at Mecca Bah. Snack on small plates like grilled Tunisian Merguez sausages with minted yogurt, falafels, or lamb kofte. The tagine here is also to-die-for.
Within walking distance to the city centre and a downtown waterfront vibe that's all its own - Docklands might just be the most exciting neighbourhood in Melbourne.

The Nevada Humane Society says it has over 100 kittens ready for adoption.
"We're offering special reduced adoption fees to help these kittens find loving homes," said Kimberly Chandler, Communications Manager for Nevada Humane Society. "You can adopt two kittens for the price of one—for just $60—or a single kitten for $35."
The kittens are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. These services would normally cost over $200.
"As the height of summer approaches, we're seeing a high number of kittens arriving at our shelter. They need loving homes and we are hoping that anyone out there who has been thinking about adding a kitten to their family will come in this weekend to adopt, " said Vonice Reed, Cat Care Manager for Nevada Humane Society. "By adopting a pair of kittens you will give the kittens a playmate which keeps them happy and occupied when you're not home. Or perhaps you have a cat at home who would enjoy a feline friend! Our staff is here to help you make the perfect match for your situation."
Cats over three years of age can be adopted for free, while other cats can be adopted for $25. Adult dogs are available for adoption for just $45. All pets are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.
The Nevada Humane Society is located at 2825 Longley Lane in Reno. The shelter is open Sunday through Friday from 11:00 am until 6:30 pm and on Saturday from 10:00 am until 6:30 pm.

Albums I've Been Late On
So I would say my music blog is still sort of running in beta, I am posting this pretty late. On Tuesdays I want to alternate between, expanding my music library and albums I've been late on. The latter is going to be a feature where I listen to albums from that I wanted to listen to, but some how didn't.
I'm bummed I didn't listen to this earlier. When I saw Japandroids over SXSW I was super into the new songs and readily awaiting the album. However, it ended up coming out when I was getting over school and getting ready for tour so it just didn't click. As ridiculous as it sounds I think brogaze is a perfect way to describe Japandroids. What with the great distortion tone, lyrics about girls, and getting fucked up.
This LP is definitely more "rocknroll "than the last, but I don't think that is necessarily a problem. "Younger Us" is my favorite because it hits hard like their older songs. Overall compared to the first album I would say this one is more refined, but less memorable. I wish more songs were like "Younger Us" and "The House That Heaven Built", but I do enjoy the hell out the album. Maybe not album of the year like I've heard, but still awesome.
tl;dr Not as many memorable songs as Post-Nothing, but still really good
Grade: B-
Way to go America. Solid Olympic performance.
Bands You Should Check Out
So this week I'm going to try to move my blog out of beta and actually post every day. I'm starting this week off with one my favorite bands. Easily top three. I like them so much I actually think I like their name. Pants Yell! is incredibly catchy and every album is great. Nicest people too. Literally sent me tabs in high school. I think I almost cried when I heard they were breaking up. They've been the soundtrack for every lonely night and every good time for me since I was sixteen. I have so much to say about this band that I almost have nothing to say. In the future when I review older albums of mine I will go in depth, but for the time being just know this band has so much heart.
We had the privilege of being on Flea Circus on 91.7 KVRX tonight! We got to pick jams to play, got interviewed, And just had an amazing time in general! Thanks so much to Tucker Whatley for having us on his show! Here is some pics of us hanging out and our playlist of the show!
Had a ton of fun on the radio tonight!
Here's more. We had such a good time.
My friend Tucker had 3/4 of my band, Diving, on his kvrx show. We talked, spun records, and stayed up entirely too late. We had a blast.
Bands You Should Check Out
Seriously one of my favorite bands right now. It's really great when some of your really good friends make music at this caliber. Heat Dust is reminiscent of fuzzed out 90s bands such as Dinosaur Jr., but they still have a recognizable sound on their own. They're on tour right now and really loud. If you're lucky enough to live in one of these cities check them out! I hope they're still playing that mcluscky cover.
Stream/Download their self titled. Or buy it, I'm sure they could use the gas money!
Also, I know I missed half of my schedule last week, but you know life and what not.

Model posing in crime illustration advertisement banned as too undignified for agency's girls.
Photograph by Nina Leen, New York, July 1948

Note: This guest post was originally posted at Pro-Sex Outreach, Open-Minded Feminism.
A question that sometimes gets raised in BDSM contexts is: Is BDSM a "sexual orientation?" I've spent rather a lot of time thinking about this, and at this point, I believe the answer depends largely on the individual — yet at the same time, the answer stands a strong chance of being politicized into something that could limit individuals. And that scares me.
But I'm getting ahead of myself already.
I remember the first moment it occurred to me to consider BDSM an orientation — the first time I used that word. I believe I was writing up my coming-out story at the time. I was discussing the way I freaked out when I came into BDSM, and I wrote: "In retrospect, it seems surreal that I reacted so badly to my BDSM orientation."
I remember that I felt vaguely electrified at what I was saying, a little scared … but also comforted. I hadn't had much contact with other sex theorists at the time and I thought I was saying something radical, maybe too radical to be taken seriously. Since our culture mostly discusses the idea of "orientation" in regards to gay/lesbian/bi/transgender, it seemed to me that — if I dared refer to it as "my BDSM orientation" — then a comparison with LGBT was implied in my statement.
Would the world believe that my BDSM desires could be as "real," as "deep-rooted," as "unavoidable" as the sexual orientation of a gay/lesbian/bi/transgender person? Would I offend GLBT people by implying that my sexual needs are as "real," "deep-rooted" and "unavoidable" as theirs…by implying that my sexual needs are anything like theirs?
Still, as crazy as the concept seemed at the time, it also felt right. When I looked back at my memories and previous actions, it was quite obvious that I have always had these needs, desires and fantasies. Acknowledging this, and applying the word "orientation" to BDSM, helped me come to terms with my BDSM identity. It cleared a mental path for me to think of BDSM as a inbuilt part of myself — like my bone structure or eye color. BDSM became something to accept, to come to terms with, to even embrace. It was a hugely liberating way of thinking about it: if I thought of BDSM was an orientation, that meant I didn't have to worry about or fight it anymore.
Since then, I've been so buried in sexuality theory and I've talked to so many BDSM people that — well, now the idea of a "BDSM orientation" seems kinda old hat. I am reminded that it's a radical concept only when I talk to people who don't think about these things all the time. I think that the idea of BDSM as an orientation occurs naturally to people who think a lot about BDSM sexuality, because so many kinksters either know we're BDSM people all along, or instantly recognize BDSM once we find it.
A recent article about a potentially groundbreaking new BDSM-related legal case quoted sexologist Charles Moser at the end, as he very eloquently describes how BDSM can be considered a sexual orientation:
When I talk to someone who is identifying as BDSM and ask them have you always felt this way, and they almost always report that 'This has been the way I was all along. I didn't realize it. I thought I was interested in more traditional male/female relationships but now I realize that I really like the power and control aspects of relationship.
They are very clear often that, 'my relationships which were vanilla were not fulfilling. I always felt like there was something missing. Now that I'm doing BDSM, I am fulfilled. This feels really right to me. This really gets me to my core. It's who I am.'
And so in the same way as someone who is homosexual, they couldn't really change — they somehow felt fulfilled in the same-sex relationship — similarly in a BDSM relationship or scenario, they similarly feel the same factors, and in my mind, that allows me to classify people who fit that as a sexual orientation. I cannot change someone who's into BDSM to not be BDSM.
That's how I feel. Absolutely.
And yet I disagree with Moser on one key point: not all BDSM people are like this. I know that there do exist people who do BDSM, who don't feel it the same way I do — who don't feel that it's been with them all along. It's not deep-rooted for them. It's not unavoidable, it's not necessary, it doesn't go to their core. They can change from being into BDSM to not doing BDSM, because it's not built-in; it's just something they do sometimes, for fun. And that's totally okay with me — I will always say that I've got no problem with whatever people want to do, as long as it's kept among consenting adults.
But what does the existence of people like that mean for BDSM as an orientation? Are they somehow less "entitled" to practice BDSM, because it's not as deep-rooted or important to them as it is for, say, me? No, that can't be true. I'm not going to claim that my feelings are "more real" than theirs, or somehow more important, just because BDSM goes straight to my core but not to theirs. They've got as much right as I do to practice these activities, as long as they do it consensually.
So, where does that leave us? It means that BDSM is an orientation for some people, but not for others. I'm fine with that. Does that mean we're done here? Well, no ….
…because if BDSM is an orientation for some people but not others, then we're in a bit of a weird place when it comes to legal recognition. In the case I cited above, Charles Moser is claiming that we BDSMers can't change ourselves and that therefore, we don't deserve to be stigmatized for our sexuality.
On the surface, this might seem reasonable…but when you start analyzing it, it's deeply problematic. Because, actually, whether or not people can alter their sexual needs, there's no reason people shouldn't be able to do what they want with other consenting adults. If any of us phrase the argument as: "I can't change myself, so please don't hate me!" then we are implicitly saying, "If I could change myself, I would — but I can't, so please have pity on me!" In other words, we are implicitly saying: "BDSMers can't 'fix' our sexual needs — it's not 'our fault' — so please don't hate us."
And when we say that, we are accepting and validating the way our culture tries to shame our sexuality. We are fundamentally agreeing with the opposition and begging for an exception…rather than trying to change the rule. We are calling BDSM a "fault"…rather than stating that freely exercising sexuality is our "right". We are casting BDSM sexuality as something that we would "fix" if we could.
Also, using the orientation argument leaves the entire segment of the population that doesn't feel BDSM as an orientation standing out in the cold. If we go with the orientation model, and say that it's okay for BDSM-identified people to practice BDSM only because we feel it as a deep-rooted orientation…then we are implying that it's not okay for people to practice BDSM if they don't feel it as a deep-rooted orientation.
(Something like this has happened in some gay/lesbian communities: people who have sex with folks of the same gender, but don't identify as strictly gay or lesbian, have sometimes been stigmatized within gay/lesbian communities or even disallowed from gay/lesbian gatherings. I understand that there are historical reasons that kind of thing happened, and analyzing the phenomenon would take up a whole post. I'm pretty sure books have been written about it. But the point is that when it did happen, it left bisexual people — as well as others who don't fit neatly within the "gay/lesbian orientation" — out in the cold. And I don't want to support that with BDSM.)
This is why I find myself moving away from that kind of language. I think it is important to move away from "I can't help having these needs," and towards "It's fundamentally unimportant whether we can change our sexual desires; the only really important thing is whether or not we practice them consensually."
…there's always a but …
I'll admit that I feel anxiety about abandoning the "orientation model." I still haven't taken the word "orientation" out of my BDSM overview lecture because it is useful for convincing people that BDSM is okay. Because so many people, at this point, have accepted the LGBTQ orientation as something that should not be stigmatized — the word "orientation" can really help them understand what BDSM means to us and why it's not okay to stigmatize that, either.
Furthermore, there are obviously people out there (like Charles Moser) who are seeking to protect BDSM legally, as a sexual orientation — seeking to make BDSM a protected class, so that we can't get fired or have our kids taken away or suffer other consequences for being into BDSM anymore. If talking about BDSM as a sexual orientation means I no longer have to worry about those consequences, then is it worth it? Maybe.
And, of course, I don't want to forget how much the idea of an "orientation" comforted me when I was first coming into BDSM. It made me feel so much better to recognize BDSM as an inbuilt part of myself. I don't want to take that comfort away from anyone else.
So, when I try to campaign for general sexual freedom and acceptance — "orientation" or no "orientation" — I imagine that I'll still end up using the word sometimes. But I'll always try to be conscious of it, and I'll always try to speak in ways that support this statement:
"It's fundamentally unimportant whether we can change our sexual desires; the only really important thing is whether or not we practice them consensually."
