Dicentra Cucullaria (L ) Bernh.—Dutchman's breeches
Dicentra canadensis (Goldie) Walp.—Squirrel-corn
Dicentra eximia (Ker) Torr. - Bleeding heart
FAMILY: Fumariaceae—the Fumitory Family
Flowers are perfect, 2-nerved, bilaterally symmetrical; sepals: 2, falling early from the flower; petals: 4, 2 outer and 2 inner; outer 2 petals fused at base, free at the ends, one or both forming basal sacs; inner 2 petals slender at base, fused over the stigma at apex; stamens: 6; leaves: glabrous, herbaceous decompound or dissected; stems: watery, juice apparent when crushed.
PHENOLOGY: Dutchman's breeches and squirrel-corn flower in spring, usually April to May. Bleeding heart flowers in early summer, June to July.
DISTRIBUTION: Dutchman's breeches and squirrel-corn are found throughout the state in rich moist woods. Bleeding heart can be found in dry or moist woods in the Commonwealth and is an "old time favorite" garden plant.
PLANT CHARACTERISTICS: Refer to the family characteristics for a general description of Dicentra. Dutchman's breeches and squirrel-corn have flowers in racemes; in bleeding heart the inflorescence is a panicle. In D. Cucullaria the outer petal sacs form divergent spurs, whereas in D. canadensis the spurs are rounded.
POISONOUS PARTS: All parts of these plants are poisonous, especially underground tubers.
SYMPTOMS: Only D. Cucullaria has been shown (experimentally) to be poisonous, at 2% of the animal's weight. Both aerial and underground portions of the plant produced symptoms within a day although these amounts were not fatal. Behavior of poisoned animals included trembling and running wildly with head held unusually high. Salivation, violent vomiting, and convulsions also were present. Shortly after the onset of symptoms, the animals fell with the head held in the position described, legs rigidly extended; and breathing labored. In one case of experimental feeding the animals could stand, although weakly, within 20 minutes after going down, and recovery was rapid and complete. Postmortem: gross and histological lesions: nonspecific.
It may be important to determine the species of Dicentra ingested in poison cases since D. canadensis failed to elicit symptoms when fed to livestock in amounts equivalent to 2 or 3% of the animal's weight, despite the presence of poisonous alkaloids in the plant.
POISONOUS PRINCIPLES: Aporphine, protoberberine, protopine, and related isoquinoline alkaloids are apparently responsible for toxicosis. More than twenty compounds structurally related to poppy alkaloids have been extracted, identified, and named from various species of Dicentra. The alkaloids cularine and several of its 0- and N- desmethyl derivatives also are present in leaves and bulbs.
CONFUSED TAXA: Corydalis is one of the few taxa that can be confused with Dicentra. A close relative whose leaves resemble those of Dicentra, it has only one sac per flower. Of the Pennsylvania species of Corydalis, both C. aurea Wild and C. flavula DC have been suspected of causing livestock loss and should be considered potentially dangerous.
ANIMAL SPECIES AFFECTED: Probably all livestock and humans.
TREATMENT: (11a) (b); (26)
OF INTEREST: These plants have been used in folk medicine to treat a variety of ailments.

Dieffenbachia spp.—Dumbcane
FAMILY: Araceae—the Arum Family (see Arisaema)
PHENOLOGY: The flowering requirements of dumbcane are not often met when it is grown as a houseplant.
DISTRIBUTION: Native to tropical America, Dieffenbachia is now a favorite plant for greenhouses and interior decorations for homes and businesses.
PLANT CHARACTERISTICS: Stems: stout, green, girdled with leaf scars, unbranched, bearing leaves toward the top; leaves: entire; petioles: sheathing; leaves and petioles often spotted or variegated; flowers: unisexual; plants sometimes having a skunk-like odor when bruised. The inflorescences arise from the leaf axils on stalks shorter than the leaf petioles. The inflorescence consists of an erect spike (the spadix), which has female flowers at the bottom and male flowers at the top; the two groups of flowers are separated by a short section of naked spadix. A petal-like sheath (the spathe) enfolds the lower pistillate flowers and provides a background foil for the staminate flowers.
POISONOUS PARTS: All parts contain toxic principles, but the stems are especially poisonous. Oral administration of the toxic component (juice from plants) to guinea pigs showed an LD50 between 600 and 900 mg of stem/animal in 24 hr. Injection i.p. produced an LD50 of 1 g. A single-dose oral toxicity test in rats showed an LD50 over 160 ml/kg of the whole plant juice.
SYMPTOMS: Ingestion of dumbcane causes rapid irritation of the mucous membranes, burning, copious salivation due to release of kinins, edematous swelling and thickening of the tongue and lips, local necrosis, and difficulty in swallowing and breathing. The symptoms may last for several days to longer than a week.
POISONOUS PRINCIPLES: Mechanical and chemical actions of calcium oxalate may be partly responsible for the reaction to dumbcane. A protein (proteolytic enzyme named "dumbcain") fraction also is possibly responsible, as well as the compound asparagine.
CONFUSED TAXA: Some common cultivated house plants such as Aglacnema (Chinese evergreen) and Spathiphyllum (peace lilies) could be confused with dumbcanes. Aglacnema differs from Dieffenbachia in having inequilateral leaf bases and the spadix not united with the spathe. In Spathiphyllum the leaves are in clusters, not originating on a stout stem as in the above two genera. Two species of Dieffenbachia are commonly cultivated: D. Sequine Schott and D. maculata (Lodd,) G, Don. Hybridization and natural mutation have created many fancy-leaved forms that are exploited commercially and should be considered poisonous.
SPECIES OF ANIMALS AFFECTED: Humans and house pets are susceptible.
TREATMENT: (11a) (b); (4); (6); (9); (10); (26); (2 - i.v. diazepam); analgesics for pain (meperidine); intravenous fluids to maintain adequate hydration.
OF INTEREST: Other aroids commonly cultivated as house plants should be considered potentially toxic, including Alocasia and Colocasia (dasheen, elephant ears), Caladium (angelwings). Anthurium (tailflower), Monstera (Swiss-cheese plant, ceriman), and Philodendron (see Philodendron). In one case cattle developed severe irritation of mouth and tongue after grazing on Colocasia. Cases of severe poisoning from Alocasia, Caladium, and Xanthosoma (Blue taro, Indian Kale) have not been recorded in the U.S.

Digitalis purpurea L. - Foxglove
FAMILY: Scrophulariaceae—the Figwort Family
This group, also known as the snapdragon family, is a large, cosmopolitan collection of genera that contains many ornamental plants. Within the family apparently only foxglove is toxic.
Flowers are: bisexual, typically irregular, often 2-lipped; stamens: 4, or occasionally 2 or 5; sepals and petals: either 4- or 5-merous; ovary: superior, 2-celled; fruit: a capsule.
PHENOLOGY: Foxglove is a summer-flowering biennial often sold in garden centers already in blossom.
DISTRIBUTION: A cultivated plant, foxglove occasionally escapes and is short-lived in the wild in our range. It would be encountered more often in the flower garden
PLANT CHARACTERISTICS: This plant, native to Europe and northwestern Africa, is easily recognized by its showy, terminal, one-sided racemes of large, drooping flowers. Other characteristics include the basal leaves: in rosettes, lanceolate to ovate, long-petioled; stem leaves: alternate, simple, sessile or nearly so; calyx: 5-parted; corolla: to 7 cm long, purple to pink or white with conspicuous spots inside; stamens: 4.
POISONOUS PARTS: The herbage, both fresh and dried, contains powerful, highly toxic compounds.
SYMPTOMS: In humans toxic reactions include gastric upset, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, severe headache, pulse and cardiac rhythm abnormalities, mental irregularities, drowsiness, tremors, convulsions, and death. In livestock symptoms are similar and include bloody stools, lack of appetite, and the urge to urinate.
POISONOUS PRINCIPLES: Digitalis, an extract of foxglove, has been used medicinally for many years; hence, a large body of information has accumulated concerning it. Physiologically active chemical constituents found in foxglove include digitoxin (0.2-0.4%), digitonin, digitalin, antirhinic acid, digitalosmin, and digitoflavone. The LD50 (oral) for digitoxin in guinea pigs is 60 mg/kg of body weight, and in cats it is 0.18 mg/kg of body weight. The toxins are cardiac or steroid glycosides. The aglycones are derivatives of cyclopenteno-phenanthrene; and the sugars, unusual methyl pentoses. They influence the heart in two ways: stronger cardiac contractions and slower contractions through stimulation of the vagus, prolonging diastole. Digitalis is of much importance to modern medicine.
CONFUSED TAXA: No other garden plants produce tall, (to more than 1.5 m) one-sided racemes of purple, spotted flowers.
SPECIES OF ANIMALS AFFECTED: Humans, usually from drug overdoses, and livestock, from grazing, have been poisoned by foxglove alkaloids. Poisoning in animals can result from hay contamination in addition to browsing fresh material. Susceptible animals include pigs, cattle, horses, and turkeys.
TREATMENT: (l la)(b); (26); (5); (19).

Equisetum arvense L. - Common horsetail
FAMILY: Equisetaceae—the Horsetail Family
This family of fern allies contains only one genus—Equisetum. Plants are primitive, sporebearing, annual or perennial, rhizomatous herbs having vascular tissue.
PHENOLOGY: The fruiting period is April to July.
DISTRIBUTION: Equisetum arvense thrives in a broad range of habitats from moist to wet, or in moderately dry sandy soil; it may grow in fields, woods, on stream banks, or along roadsides.
PLANT CHARACTERISTICS: Horsetail is not a true flowering plant with sepals and petals. The reproductive structure is a sporophyll in a terminally, spikelike cone composed of shield-shaped spore-bearing structures. Other characteristics include, stem: hollow, one large central canal surrounded by smaller ones under each ridge of the stem; jointed; impregnated with silica; striated or grooved; rushlike; branches: whorled; leaves: marginally united into a sheath around each node. Plants bear nongreen reproductive structures in spring and green vegetation during the remainder of the growing season.
POISONOUS PARTS: All parts, green and dried, can be toxic. Hay containing 20% or more of E. arvense causes poisoning symptoms in horses in 2-5 weeks.
SYMPTOMS: Toxicosis is similar to bracken poisoning (see Pteridium) Apetite remains normal until near the end of the illness in Equisetum poisoning, whereas it is lost early in bracken poisoning. Ataxia, difficulty in turning, and the body wasting away followed by general weakening are early signs. In later stages animals may become constipated and the muscles rigid. Pulse rate increases and weakens, and the extremities become cold. The cornea of the eye may become opaque. Before death, the animal becomes calm and comatose. If poisoning is discovered early, the toxic plants removed from the diet, and proper nutrition given, animals can recover rapidly.
Horses are not infrequently affected by E. arvense. In advanced cases when a horse '"goes down" and cannot arise, the animal becomes nervous, making frantic attempts to stand. When a poisoned horse is exercised it will tremble and become muscularly exhausted. Cattle are not readily affected by E. arvense. In experiments with cattle, the only result was marked loss in the general condition of the animal over a forty-day period. Postmortem: gross lesions: none evident; histological lesions: diffuse lesions in the cerebral cortex such as polioencephalomalacia or cerebrocortical necrosis; bilaterally symmetrical zones of malacia involving various nuclei of the brain.
POISONOUS PRINCIPLES: The enzyme thiaminase is responsible for poisoning in non-ruminants. The previously suspected silica, aconitic acid, palmitic acid, nicotine, methoxypridine, equisitine, palustrine, and dimenthyl sulfide components are not of themselves toxic enough to produce poisoning. However, they may complicate the toxicosis. The toxic agent for ruminants is unknown and generally not fatal.
CONFUSED TAXA: No unrelated plants occurring in Pennsylvania look like species of the distinctive genus Equisetum. All members of this common genus should be considered poisonous.
SPECIES OF ANIMALS AFFECTED: Horses primarily are affected, with sheep to a lesser degree. Equisetosis is rarely fatal for cattle.
TREATMENT: (11a)(b); (26); massive doses of thiamine.
OF INTEREST: The stems, which contain silica crystals, are sometimes used to polish metal; hence the name scouring rush. Plants are occasionally used as an ornamental in moist places such as around ponds.

Eupatorium rugosum Houtt.—White snakeroot, snakeroot
FAMILY: Compositae (Asteraceae)—the Daisy Family (see Arctium)
PHENOLOGY: Snakeroot flowers from July through October.
DISTRIBUTION: Eupatorium rugosum grows in eastern North America. Abundant in Pennsylvania, it is found in moist areas, rich open woods, and along streams. It often forms dense colonies in areas where logging has cleared regions of the forest.
PLANT CHARACTERISTICS: The heads of white flowers are small and contain only disk flowers: 3 to 4 mm long; heads: contain 10 to 30 flowers; leaves: thin, opposite, evidently petioled, sharply serrate, acuminate, the larger ones 6 (to 18) x 3 (to 12) cm long; stems: 1.5 dm, from a shallow mat of fibrous, perennating roots.
POISONOUS PARTS: The poisonous parts are the leaves and stems; toxicity decreases with drying. Seasonal or ecological variation may affect toxic principles; frost does not reduce toxicity.
SYMPTOMS: The following conditions are recorded in toxicosis: trembling, especially of the flank and hind legs; slow, lethargic or sluggish behavior ("the slows"); stiffness in movement or ataxia; coma; and death. Horses seem less prone to trembling. Livestock may exhibit constipation, nausea, vomiting, slobbering, loss of appetite, or labored or rapid breathing. An acetone odor on the breath may result from ketosis in severely poisoned animals. Postmortem: gross and histological lesions: fatty degenerative changes in liver and kidney; heart and gastrointestinal hemorrhages.
POISONOUS PRINCIPLES: Poisoning is possible due to an unstable, fat-soluble alcohol called tremetol, which has a phenyl nucleus and an incompletely characterized resin acid. Tremetol is an aromatic, straw-colored oily liquid. The principal ketone, tremetone, is also suspected to be toxic.
CONFUSED TAXA: There are more than twenty species of Eupatorium in the eastern U.S., with most encountered in Pennsylvania. Because E. rugosum may be difficult to identify accurately, any suspected material should be examined by a specialist.
SPECIES OF ANIMALS AFFECTED: Species known to be susceptible are fowl, sheep, horses, cattle, hogs, and humans; illness may be experimentally induced in various laboratory animals.
TREATMENT: (26); treat for anuria, liver, and kidney damage.
OF INTEREST: "Trembles" and "the slows" are not the only illness produced from Eupatorium toxicosis. "Milksickness" was a common disease in the Colonial period, reaching its peak in the first half of the 1800's. Since tremetol is readily excreted in milk, poisoning can occur from ingestion of milk from lactating animals that have eaten Eupatorium. During the early pioneer period, entire villages were abandoned and human population centers were reduced to less than one-half the original number due to milksickness because the etiology of the disease remained a mystery. The amount of plant consumed to elicit sickness varies from 1-20% of the animal's weight and depends on many factors. Because the toxin is cumulative, the onset of symptoms varies from less than 2 days to as much as 3 weeks. Death follows from 1 day to 3 weeks after the symptoms appear. Recovery is good if the disease can be countered before ketosis appears. In many cases, prognosis is poor and recovery is rare, slow, and incomplete. Milksickness in humans begins as a few days of weakness, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, and violent vomiting followed by obstinate constipation, severe thirst, loss of ingested fluids by vomiting, tremors, acetone breath, prostration, delirium, coma, and death. The disease can be fever-producing or the temperature may be subnormal. Mortality ranges from 10-25%, but the massive loss of human life seen in centuries past does not occur owing to current practices of animal husbandry and the pooling of milk from many producers.

Euphorbia cyparissias L —Cypress-spurge
Euphorbia maculata L—Wartweed
Euphorbia marginata Pursh.—Snow-on-the-mountain
FAMILY: Euphorbiaceae—the Spurge Family (see Codiaeum)
PHENOLOGY: Euphorbia spp. bloom from May to September depending on the taxon.
DISTRIBUTION: More than twenty species of Euphorbia are found in Pennsylvania. They occur as weeds (Euphorbia maculata L ), as garden plants (E. marginata Pursh ), or as plants escaped from cultivation (E cyparissias L ).
PLANT CHARACTERISTICS: The Euphorbia cyathium contains staminate flowers: several, each containing one stamen; pistilate flower: one, containing one pistil; ovary: 3-celled, 3-ovuled; styles: 3; involucre: 4- to 5-lobed, usually bearing glands in the sinuses. Our plants are herbs, usually with milky, acrid juice.
POISONOUS PARTS: The whole plant, fresh or dried, is poisonous.
SYMPTOMS: Diarrhea, collapse, and death may result from ingestion of Euphorbia cyparissias. Hay contaminated with E. cyparissias has caused death in cattle.
Euphorbia maculata, growing predominantly in a pasture, caused a 30% loss of Hampshire lambs. Euphorbia maculata fed to lambs at a rate of 0.62°/c body weight caused death within hours. Surviving lambs were photosensitized so that exposure to sunlight produced edematous enlargement of the head. Toxicity may increase during July and August when rains follow a period of drought.
Euphorbia marginata produced diarrhea and emaciation, lasting several months, when 100 oz was fed to cattle. Consumption of this plant can cause blistering, irritation, and inflammation of the upper digestive tract. The sap has been noted to cause contact dermatitis on the legs and face of horses. The death of a young woman, who drank a decoction of E. marginata in an effort to abort, is reported.
POISONOUS PRINCIPLES: Irritant cocarcinogenic diterpenoids have been isolated as toxins in some Euphorbia species.
CONFUSED TAXA: Euphorbia cyparissias is a colonial plant from creeping rootstocks; leaves: linear, entire, crowded, 3 cm long, 1-nerved; cyathia: umbel-like cymes, yellowish green when young, becoming purplish red; glands: yellow, crescent shaped with 2 short horns.
Euphorbia maculata are prostrate plants growing like mats over the ground; leaves: all opposite, oblique at base, dark green, often with a median red spot: stipules: present; glands and petaloid appendages: 4. Botanists are not in full agreement as to the identity of plants to be included in this species. Some plants that may prove to be equivalent to E. maculata L., are E. supina, E. chamaesyce and E. hirta.
Euphorbia marginata grows to 2 m; leaves: alternate, sessile, broadly ovate to elliptic; leaves subtending the inflorescence: whorled; marginated with white, or entirely white; involucral lobes: fringed; appendages: 5, white, conspicuous; fruit: 3-lobed. 6-7 mm in diameter,
TREATMENT: (11a)(b); (26)
OF INTEREST: All species of Euphorbia can be expected to contain the complex esters believed responsible for poisonings and are probably capable of eliciting an allergic reaction. Reported deaths from Euphorbia poisoning are rare but livestock can be seriously affected.
Euphorbia corollata L. (flowering spurge) has been implicated in the poisoning of livestock. This widely distributed weed flowers from May though September and has 5 cyathial glands and white petaloid appendages. It has been used in small doses for diaphoresis and as an expectorant.
Euphorbia heterophylla L. (fire-on-the-mountain), commonly cultivated in the Midwest, is now becoming prevalent as an escaped plant in the East. Diagnostic characters include the absence of petaloid appendages on the singular gland of the involucre and stem leaves that are mostly alternate, glabrous above, and hairy beneath. A closely related species, E. dentata Michx., has opposite leaves with hairs on both sides. It too is found in increasing numbers on dry sites, along roadsides, and in waste places. Both are to be treated with suspicion, although no records indicate poisonings from these taxa.
Other species to be alerted to are E. Preslii Guss, E. esula L. (leafy spurge), and E. Peplus L, (petty spurge). The last-named species is locally abundant in vegetable gardens, and unconfirmed reports indicate that dogs eating a low concentrated mixture of it and grass develop violent diarrhea; it has proven lethal to human beings. Euphorbia lathyris (caper-spurge) was used as a medicinal folk remedy. This toxic species can still be found around old homesteads and as an escaped plant.
Euphorbia commonly grown as houseplants include Euphorbia Milfi Ch. des Moulins (crown-of thorns) and E pulcherrina Willd. (Poinsettia). The crown-of-thorns is a woody, spiny plant with cyathia subtended by bright red bracts. When bruised, it produces an irritant, white, milky latex. No cases of severe poisoning have been reported in the literature, but crown-of-thorns may be toxic if consumed in quantity. Poinsettias are popular Christmas-time house plants. No well documented cases of severe poisoning exist despite many cases of fruit, bud, and leaf ingestion The irritant milk may produce symptoms of gastroenteritis including abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Glechoma hederacea L—Ground-ivy; gill-over-the-ground; creepingcharlie; runaway-robin
FAMILY: Labiatae (Lamiaceae)—the Mint Family
This is a large group of plants known for glands that secrete pungent, volatile oils that may be toxic in large amounts. Many plants in this family are cultivated as ornamentals or as sweet herbs. Characteristic features for this family include stems: square in cross section; leaves: opposite, 4-ranked, simple, without stipules, glandular; flowers: irregular; calyx: 4- to 5-lobed, 2-lipped, persistent; corolla: 4- to 6-lobed, 2-lipped, petals conspicuously united; stamens: 4 (rarely 2), inserted on the corolla; ovary: superior, deeply lobed; style: 1 from the center of the ovary lobes; fruit: 4 one-seeded nutlets.
PHENOLOGY: Ground-ivy flowers April through June.
DISTRIBUTION: Found in moist fields or woods or in disturbed soil, including roadsides and yards.
PLANT CHARACTERISTICS: Plants are prostrate or creeping; leaves: cauline, petiolate, 1-3 cm, crenate rotund-cordate to cordate-reniform; stem: retrorsely scabrous to subglabrous; pilose at the nodes; flowers: 13-23 mm across, on short pedicels; petals: blue violet, marked with purple spots; usually 3 flowers per axil.
POISONOUS PARTS: All parts are toxic in green or dried condition.
SYMPTOMS: Salivation, sweating, dyspnea, panting, dilated pupils, anxious look, cyanosis, and possibly pulmonary edema can be manifested. Postmortem: pulmonary edema and cerebral hyperaemia.
POISONOUS PRINCIPLES: Physiologically active volatile oils are responsible for toxicosis.
CONFUSED TAXA: Glecoma is sometimes mistaken for Lamium (dead nettle), but the flowers are distinctly pediceled (in loose cymules) in Glecoma and sessile (in dense cymules) in Lamium.
SPECIES OF ANIMALS AFFECTED: Apparently only horses are susceptible to Glecoma toxins.
TREATMENT: (11a)(b); (26)
OF INTEREST: Lamjum amplexicaule L., commonly encountered as an element of our spring flora, causes "staggers" in sheep, horses, and cattle. Stachys arvensis L., fieldnettle, is responsible for nervous disorders in livestock, especially sheep. It too is a Pennsylvania resident.

Gymnocladus dioica (L.) C. Koch—Kentucky coffee-tree
FAMILY: Caesalpiniaceae—the Caesalpina Family
The bean family, Leguminosae, is naturally divided into three subfamilies: the Faboideae, the Mimosoideae, and the Caesalpinioideae. Some authorities classify the three subfamilies as separate families as they are presented here. The Fabaceae family description is found under the Crotaiaria entry. No members of the Mimosaceae found within Pennsylvania are toxic. The Caesalpiniaceae are characterized by flowers: perfect or unisexual, regular or sometimes irregular; hypanthium: well developed, often irregular; sepals: 5; petals: 1-5; stamens: typically twice as many as the sepals; ovary: 1; fruit: a legume splitting along 2 sutures.
PHENOLOGY: Gymnocladus dioica flowers in May.
DISTRIBUTION: Kentucky coffee-tree is found in rich moist woods. It is seldom abundant, frequently occurring as single trees.
PLANT CHARACTERISTICS: Kentucky coffee-tree is a tall tree, to 30 m; plants: bear on one tree flowers partly perfect and partly pistillate, and on another tree flowers partly perfect and partly staminate; flowers: regular, perfect or unisexual, 5-merous; hypanthium: tubular, 10-15 mm; sepals and petals in a single series, 8-10 mm; stamens: 10, distinct, alternately long and short; fruit: red-brown, woody, flat. thick, often exuding a yellow resin when broken; seeds: few per pod, large, separated by pulp; branches: stout, without small twigs or thorns; leaves: very large, bipinnately compound, new leaves often pink; leaflets: 2-3 cm wide; inflorescence: terminal panicles of greenish-white flowers.
POISONOUS PARTS: The sprouts, foliage, and fruit are poisonous.
SYMPTOMS: Severe gastrointestinal irritation and narcotic-like effects on the nervous system have been reporte. Postmortem: gross and histological lesions: congestion of the mucous membranes.
POISONOUS PRINCIPLES: The cause of toxicosis is unknown but may be due to the presence of alkaloids. Cytisine, a toxic quinolizidine alkaloid, has been extracted from leaves, pods, and seeds. The LD50 orally in mice is 50-101 mg/kg, subcutaneous in dogs it is 4 mg/kg body weight.
CONFUSED TAXA: The bipinnate leaves of Kentucky coffee-tree may be confused with the bipinnate or even-pinnate leaves of honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos L.), also in the Caesalpinaceae. Honey locust has leaflets 1 cm wide, thorns that may be branched, and flowers in spike-like racemes. The pulp of the honey locust fruit is sweet-tasting and nonpoisonous.
SPECIES OF ANIMALS AFFECTED: Kentucky coffee-tree is poisonous for apparently all classes of livestock and for humans.
TREATMENT: (11a)(b); (26)
OF INTEREST: A case exists of a woman who was poisoned after eating some fruit pulp of Kentucky coffee-tree, mistaking it for honey locust. Cases have been cited in which death occurred in sheep in less than 1 day after the appearance of symptoms. Seeds of this plant have been used for a coffee substitute.
The golden chain tree, Laburnum anagyroides Medic., a cytisine- producing legume in the Fabaceae, can cause toxicosis as well. This widely cultivated tree with long-petioled, trifoliate, alternate leaves produces hanging racemes, about 5 dm long, of golden-yellow flowers. The fruit is a legume pod containing up to 8 seeds. The seeds and flowers, eaten in large quantities, can produce poisoning characterized by excitement, gastroenteritis, dilation of pupils, incoordination, irregular pulse, convulsions, coma, and death through asphyxiation. Oral toxicity of seeds for horses is about 0.05% of the animal's weight. Treatment: (11a)(b); (26); (1); (6).

Hedera helix L—English ivy
FAMILY: Araliaceae—the Ginseng Family
This family is of minor economic importance. Some noteworthy members include English Ivy (Hedera helix L.); Tetrapanax papyriferus (Hook.) C Koch, the source of Chinese rice-paper; and Panax quinquefolium L., the ginseng of Oriental medicine. Because only Hedera helix is of major concern here, a full description of this species replaces the family description.
PHENOLOGY: English ivy produces umbels of flowers in summer.
DISTRIBUTION: Hedera helix is a cultivated plant grown indoors as a pot subject or outside, usually as a wall or ground cover.
PLANT CHARACTERISTICS: English ivy is a trailing or climbing vine with a diversity of leaf shapes ranging from ovate, rotund to variously 3- to 5-lobed or angled, leaves: firm, evergreen; flowers: small, greenish, produced only when the branches reach a height of more than 15 feet; sepals: 5, very short; petals: 5, fleshy; stamens: 5; ovary: 5-celled, 1 style; fruit: a round, 3- to 5-seeded berry.
POISONOUS PARTS: The black berries and leaves of English ivy are poisonous if consumed in quantity.
SYMPTOMS: Hedera helix is a purgative that produces local irritation, excessive salivation, nausea, excitement, difficulty in breathing, severe diarrhea, thirst, and coma.
POISONOUS PRINCIPLES: The toxic substance is hederin, a glycoside of the steroidal saponin hederagenin.
CONFUSED TAXA: Several varieties of Hedera helix have 3 leaflets per leaf and resemble poison ivy (see Rhus radicans). There exist numerous foliage forms; many are not stable and, with age, revert to the original type. Generally, English ivy can be differentiated from poison ivy by its dark, glossy, evergreen foliage, compared to the thinner-textured, deciduous leaves of poison ivy.
SPECIES OF ANIMALS AFFECTED: Both humans and livestock show the symptoms listed above.
TREATMENT: (11a)(b); (17); (6)
OF INTEREST: Other species of Hedera, especially the popular Algerian ivy, H. canariensis Willd., as well as members of the genus Aralia (sarsaparilla) should be viewed with suspicion. The fruits of all species of Aralia are poisonous when eaten raw but are infrequently cooked as jelly, which is reported edible.

Helenium autumnaleL.—Sneezeweed
FAMILY: Compositae (Asteraceae)—the Daisy Family (see Arctium)
PHENOLOGY: Helenium species flower late in the growing season, from August through October.
DISTRIBUTION: Sneezeweed is an inhabitant of moist low ground, rich thickets, meadows, and shores.
PLANT CHARACTERISTICS: The fibrous-rooted perennial H. autumnale grows to 1.5 m tall. The stems bear wings originating as decurrent leaf leaves: numerous, lance-linear to elliptic, almost sessile; lower leaves deciduous; heads: several or many in a leafy corymbosely branched inflorescence, or simple; disks: yellow, 8-20 mm wide; rays: toothed or lobed, 10-20, pistillate or sometimes neutral, 1.5-2.5cm long and 7-12 mm broad; pappus: keeled scales, brown, ovate, tapering into a short awn.
POISONOUS PARTS: All parts of the sneezeweed plant, especially flowers, are toxic. Experiments show 1% (dry) of a sheep's weight of Helenium will cause illness and death within 8 days.
SYMPTOMS: Early signs of Helenium poisoning are dullness and depression; weakness, tremors, and rapid respiration and pulse ensue. Nausea and vomiting may be present. Other symptoms include excessive salivation, belching, frothing, and intestinal disorders. Animals not displaying vomition will often recover. The prognosis for those vomiting is less positive.
Postmortem: gross and histological lesions: Examination reveals gastrointestinal degeneration and liver, kidney, and lung damage; hydrothorax, ascites, congestion, and edema in the forestomachs (submucosa of the rumen and reticulum); edema of nervous tissue; and sometimes mild tubular nephrosis, as well as fatty changes in the myocardium.
POISONOUS PRINCIPLES: The toxin in some species is a glycoside, dugaldin, whereas in other taxa it is the sesquiterpene lactone helenatin
CONFUSED TAXA: The combination of yellow ray and disk flowers, scaly-awned pappus, alternate leaves, and truncate style-branches without appendages are unique to Helenium. The closely related genus Gaillardia is similar except the style-branches have subulate appendages.
SPECIES OF ANIMALS AFFECTED: Sheep are apparently very sensitive to sneezeweed, but the poisonous principle will affect all livestock and humans. Sheep will eat this bitter weed when all other forage is unavailable. The toxin remains poisonous when dried; therefore, contaminated hay is also undesirable
TREATMENT: (11a)(11b); (26)
OF INTEREST: In addition to H. autumnale, several less common, introduced taxa are found in Pennsylvania: H. amarum (Raf.) H Rock, H. flexuosum Raf., and H. quadridentatum Labill.

Alpharetta City Council narrowly approved an application to allow a 27-home neighborhood to be built at the corner of Rucker and Wills roads, across from Wills Park and American Legion Post 201.
Don Rolader represented the applicants, Arrowhead Real Estate Partners, and said if the weather holds, homes could be completed by July 2014.
On a 4-3 vote, City Council allowed the subdivision to be built, but with several conditions. The site plan included entrances on both Wills and Rucker roads.
John Monson, an Arrowhead Court resident, asked council members why the new subdivision needed two entrances and suggested eliminating the Rucker Road entrance.
"If they never had it, they're never going to miss it. So why create the headache in the first place?" Monson asked.
Council members limited the subdivision to just one entrance on Wills Road. The two entrances would create a "cut through" traffic situation with motorists seeking to avoid the traffic light. They also cited plans to redesign Rucker Road that at the least would restrict the proposed entrance on that road to right in/right out only as another issue. And for a 27-unit subdivision, they didn't see a need for two entrances.
By eliminating the space required for the second entrance, more of the property will be available to separate the houses. The developer will be required to have at least 20 feet of space between the houses on Rucker and Wills road.
Mayor David Belle Isle's condition to require that all but six of the homes would have to be built with at least 2,800 square feet of livable space. The zoning classification requires a minimum of 2,400 square feet of space.
Building 27 homes on 8.65 acres creates a densty of 3.43 units per acre, and that required a change to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan changing the property from low density to medium density use.
Two historic homes on the property will be demolished, as the Alpharetta Historic Society said they are more old than historic with the condition they are in and the lack of historic significance. Even if they were suitable, the Historic Society has nowhere to move them.
Charles Turner of American Legion Post 201 said they didn't have a problem with the subdivision, but they wanted the developers and future homeowners to understand it is an active post. He cited problems with a subdivision behind Post 201. Homeowners who bought homes in that subdivision knew what they were buying, yet they still complained about Post 201 activities when they moved in.
Council also added a condition giving staff approval over home exterior designs. The condition strongly encouraged the extensive use of brick or stone.

Gender Roles
Popular people and places
British Culture and Major religious movements
Women were not freely offered the opportunity to study subjects of an extended, classical, and commercial nature. This made it difficult for a woman to break free from the societal constraints to achieve independent economic status. Education was specialized by gender. Women were provided with the opportunity to study refined subjects such as history, geography and general literature which would provide them with interesting but noncontroversial topics for discussion. Despite the restrictions and stigmatization, some women did excel in "male" subjects such as law, physics, engineering, science and art. These women pioneered the path for the much improved gender equality in modern education in the UK. Women were rarely given the opportunity to attend university
Working-class women often had occupations to make ends meet, and to ensure family income in the event that a husband became sick, injured, or died. There was no workers' compensation until late in the Victorian era, and a husband too ill or injured to work often meant an inability to pay the rent and a stay at the dreaded Victorian workhouse.
Throughout the Victorian era, some women were employed in heavy industry such as coal mines and the steel industry. A monument to women steel workers in Bilston, England. Although they were employed in fewer numbers as the Victorian era continued and employment laws changed, they could still be found in certain roles. Before the Mines and Collieries Act 1842, women worked underground as "hurriers" who carted tubs of coal up through the narrow mine shafts.
By the late 1860s, agricultural work was not paying well, and women turned to industrial employment. In areas with industrial factories, women could find employment on assembly lines for items ranging from locks to canned food. Industrial laundry services employed many women (including inmates of Magdalene asylums who did not receive wages for their work). Women were also commonly employed in the textile mills that sprang up during the industrial revolution in such cities as Manchester, Leeds, and Birmingham. Working for a wage was often done from the home in London, although many women worked as "hawkers" or street vendors, who sold such things as watercress, lavender, flowers or herbs that they would collect at the Spitalfields fruit and vegetable market.
Many working-class women worked as washerwomen, taking in laundry for a fee. Animal-breeding in slum flats was common, such as dogs, geese, rabbits and birds, to be sold at animal and bird markets. Housing inspectors often found livestock in slum cellars, including cows and donkeys. Spinning and winding wool, silk, and other types of piecework were a common way of earning income by working from home, but wages were very low, and hours were long; often 14 hours per day were needed to earn enough to survive. Furniture-assembling and finishing were common piecework jobs in working-class households in London that paid relatively well. Women in particular were known as skillful "French polishers" who completed the finish on furniture.
Political issues:
Victorian politics is about the way in which Britain's political system, which had evolved over centuries and was dominated by a landowning elite, found itself under pressure to adjust to the economic, social and demographic changes unleashed by the industrial revolution, and the new trends in economic, political and scientific thinking that ran alongside it. The successful student will understand what changed and why, while not losing sight of aspects of the political system that did not change.
Though Queen Victoria reined in 1837-1901 the real starting date for the study of Victorian politics is 1832 as it saw the passing of the Reform Act, the first major breech with the eighteenth century constitution. By extending the right to vote to the expanding middle class it ensured that the Victorian political system remained dominated by the interests of property owners. Though subsequent reforms admitted other social groups to the electoral process the basic characteristics of the post-1832 system, including the social background of MPs and conceptions of the economic role of the State, remained entrenched till the end of Victoria's reign.
In the shifting political landscape after the Reform Act, the old party loyalties of Whig and Tory take on new colors. Because of pushing through the new legislation, the Whigs are now seen as the party of reform; and during the 1830s they begin to acquire a new name as Liberals. At the same period the Tories begin to call themselves Conservatives, making the most of their recent opposition to reform by suggesting that their policy is to conserve all that is best in the traditional British way of life.
In practice the two parties are rarely predictable in their attitudes to the great issues of the century. In broad terms the Liberals are more inclined to pass measures of social welfare yet the greatest campaigner on these issues is a Conservative MP, Lord Shaftesbury, and his party is responsible for the Mines Act of 1842. Similar uncertainty surrounds the great issue of the 1840s, the repeal of the Corn Laws. Forced through parliament in 1846 by a Conservative prime minister, Robert Peel, the issue splits the party. Eventually Peel's own minority faction merges, after his death, with the Liberals.

Baking a friend's wedding cake--please help!
I have somehow wound up becoming that friend who makes wedding cakes (which I have mixed feelings about!), and am supposed to make a wedding cake for one of my best friends in two weeks. I am driving myself crazy with thinking through the following questions and would really love some help from more experienced and wiser bakers than me! Any opinions/suggestions/fun stories would be welcome.
1. The number of guests will be 110. The cake will not be the only dessert--delicious baklava will also be served. If I make a three-tier cake with 6x3, 10x3, and 14x3 tiers (split and filled), will this be enough for 110? It is hard to tell what size to make the cake as different bakers seem to use different metrics--Wilton says this would result in 128 servings, while Martha Stewart (from her 1980s-era "Weddings" book) says it would result in only about 60.
2. The bride&groom have requested an almond cake, which I am super psyched about. I had the following ideas for fillings for an almond butter cake with an amaretto buttercream:
1. A layer of almond pastry cream topped with fresh raspberries for the filling
2. A layer of lemon pastry cream or lemon curd spread on top of a layer of almond dacquoise
3. Split the cake twice, and do two fillings: one raspberry jam, one almond pastry cream
4. Something else?
almond goes very well for coffee and carmel too.
I have the feeling that this size cake will be a bit small for 110. If you have a denser cake with a richer butter cream filling you might be able to cut it into smaller pieces, but, i would make more just in case the servers end up cutting bigger pieces like they did at the one wedding i made the cake for. Thankfully, we had made double what we thought we needed and we did not run out.
One thing to do would be to cut pieces of parchment paper to the size of your pans (don't count the top layer as that goes to the bride and groom) and then draw on them how the cake would be cut normally and count. That way there is no doubt and you can give the cutting chart to the servers and they will be more likely not to mess it up.
I think the size will end up just fine, presuming you cut the top layer too. You're on the edge of having enough, but if the numbers don't increase you're good.
Your flavor ideas sound great. With almond butter cake and aaretto buttercream,I'd like the almond pastry cream with raspberries or raspberry jam.
Deb at Smitten Kitchen did a wedding cake for a friend and posted a nice tutorial and helpful hints. You may want to run through it.
Check out Rose Levy Beranbaum's site. I know some think her recipes are too much work, but they never fail.
I love almond everything. Less will be more, I would stick to the lemon curd or pastry cream.
hi! this is a very interesting subject as i may be baking one myself in a few months.
your cake flavors sounds wonderful, i like the almond dacquoise idea. which almond butter cake recipe are you using?
i made a almond cake filled with a good layer of chocolate mousse and fine grains of crushed almond pralines. as long as the chocolate mousse sets slightly firm first, there will be no issues of slippage.
Thank you for all of the advice! I will definitely map out how to slice the cakes, that is wonderful advice. They didn't want to save the top layer for their wedding anniversary so all of the layers will be cut up and served--and the cake will be competing with another big dessert, so I might stay on the conservative side with the cake--or maybe I can make a backup 13x9 cake or something. I was also thinking of perhaps making a blood orange curd as part of the filling. I'm going to try the cake (with two filling options) out on the family for Christmas Eve and do a little taste test.
@ jeniyo--the almond cake and dacquoise recipes I am using are from Dorie Greenspan's "Baking with Julia"--there's a wonderful step-by-step guide and detailed recipe by Martha Stewart for an almond cake with almond dacquoise, apricot filling, and almond rum buttercream and marzipan fruits for decoration, and I am using some components of it but not all (the idea of making many little marzipan fruits sounds as appealing to me right now as sticking my finger in a light socket!). It's a very good guide--the only criticism I have of it is that she tells you to cut the dowels 1/4-inch above the top of the cake, and when I tried that for a wedding cake I made this past summer it resulted in near-disaster, as the tiers started listing back and forth, so I would stick to cutting the dowels to be flush with the top of the cake.
re: ginqueen
Thank you! i running out to get some books soon. I will be making mini sized cakes to taste of all the flavors that were churning in my head. very excited!!
This might be helpful in cutting and servings. You'll need less than you think, if there is a full dinner being served. The first time I made a cake for 150, I had tiers of cake leftover and I had to bring them to work to get rid of them. That was the only dessert, too.
I like option 2 or 3, although you might consider one tier nut-free in case of allergies (since the other dessert is baklava). I love fresh raspberries but they're hard to get ahead of time and if you're planning on making the cake in advance, they might not hold well. While splitting the cake is really pretty, you'll have to worry more about tiering and not having it slip and cutting it evenly around (which always looks easy on shows but is harder IRL). If you've done that all before, then you'll know what to do but if it's your first time doing it, with large tiered cakes, there might be more work than you think to it. Good luck with it!

Effects of New Moon and Full Moon Phases - Menstruation (Menses) Periods and Luna Timings
The peak times of a New moon (no moon) or a Full moon can be interesting and powerful. It can be difficult, challenging or trying during these periods. For instance some people may not get any peace during these times. Others may experience great divine bliss, power and happiness. On the new moon and full moons my readers can find a greater comfort and relief from suffering by reading my website.
One girl emailed me during the peak of the Full moon (by a few minutes) to let me how much my website had helped her, and brought about relief and comfort. Two weeks later she sent me another email saying the same thing. This time it was on the exact peak of the new moon. Something was going on here. Her emails were within minutes of the peak times of the full and new moon.
There is a mechanism that occurs on new moon and full moon peaks. The moon has more of an affect on your life that you might think. Take some time to observe the moon cycles and how the moon has effects on you. Also look to see the effects on other people.
For instance during the full moon it can be a very intense time. It brings about fullness, magnification of energy and ripeness. We always hear of flooding on the full moon. People can appear to become emotional and disturbed. There is a wild energy. In my experience people in groups who drink tend to get together and become rowdy. Everything can become out of control. The crime rate sometimes slightly increases. People become intense and frustrated. Misunderstandings occur, especially among couples.
One person might say to his partner, "what have I done to upset you?", or "what is wrong with you today?". Everything may become trying and difficult. It is often a challenging time. The full moon is said to be linked to the energy of Mother Divine. In Her fullness she plays her illusions on people. Some people call it an evil influence because of the way it appears to have a negative effect on people.
Although the symptoms of the full moon and new moon may sometimes seem negative, it is actually a positive thing. It is a time of purification, when your chakras are open. It is the best time to meditate and absorb powerful and positive vibrations. It is also the best time to heal others. The guru is also in his fullness on the full moon. The guru can be the most powerful on the full moon, to heal, transform and help people.
The full moon energy = Mother Divine energy. Because of this high energy. That is why it appears to become a little crazy on the full moon. Everything in this illusory world, the good and the bad is said to come from the Mother aspect of God. That is why everything can become amplified on the full moon- including all your funny blocks, issues and problems.
The full moon is a time of purification. The full moon is the best time for charging divine energy and also for decharging all your negative energy. The full moon brings about the fullness of nature.
The peak of the new moon (no moon) is also very similar and is a polar opposite of the full moon. Just like the full moon is linked to the energy of the Mother, the new moon is linked to the energy of the Father (Shiva). On the full moon spiritual people often pull the Mothers energy and on the new moon they pull Shiva's energy for protection. It is like a shiva-shakti mechanism.
The new moon is the Shiva Ratre, the time of the Shiva energy. Shiva can be regarded as the pure consciousness and transcendence aspect of God. The new moon is also a new cycle, bringing about the end of an old cycle. Shiva is sometimes called the God of destruction, as every cycle will come to an end and something new beginning. The days leading up to the new moon are the best times for destroying negative energy, ending old habits and enabling you to connect deeper to God. The new moon therefore has the energy for creating a new beginning, for creating something new.
The new moon can also be difficult, trying and challenging as well. It is best not to sign any contracts or make any travel arrangement on the new moon. I once tried booking a hotel at this time, and there were so many obstacles and obstructions. The computer systems crashed, I could not get through to the relevant people and they did not phone me back. Everything became difficult and I was frustrated. I later found out that it was the peak of the new moon.
Another example, one time I went out to buy a camera and was just unable to do buy one. The day became completely wasted as I could not find what I wanted and ended up getting lost. My life felt really difficult as I was walking aimlessly and I started to think deeply on my life, "what is this all about? Why is nothing going well for me? Why is my life so difficult?". It cheered me up when I realized this was the peak of the new moon. I knew that in a few days everything would turn back to normal. Also when people phone me up crying and emotional on the full moon I always say, "wait a few days and things will be fine".
Because your chakras are open on the full and new moons it is a time of purification as you are absorbing high vibrations. Sometimes on the full moon girls sometimes look like Goddesses, as they appear really pure and holy. People are often absorbing huge vibrations. A lot of spiritual processes are performed on the new and full moons. It is a time for absorbing highest vibrations. That is why people connect very powerfully on these times and receive energy or healing from God.
Unfortunately esoteric knowledge of the moon is also abused by people. Wars and attacks are often declared and carried out on the full or new moon. Some negative people may also do sacrifices on the full moon or new moon.
Enjoy the purification and divine energy of the moon phases, but be open, conscious and aware of these timings. Observe others behaviour and how you feel. You will learn a lot. Alternatively it can be highly positive on the full and new moon luna periods.
How to protect yourself on the new and full moon periods - menstruation (menses) periods and luna timings
Because your chakras are open on the new and full moons, some people find it beneficial not to share their bodily fluids during these times of the peak stages of the new or full moon. During this time you are going though a purification of decharging negative energy. So by exchanging bodily fluids and sexual energy during this time including saliva- you may be sharing your crazy, disturbed or negative energy with the other person. It can cause soul friction.
So some people find it best to keep their energy to themselves during this period. For some spiritual people they can loose many months of meditation power by sharing sexual energy at the peak of the moon phases. There are no rules about this, but it is up to you to find out what works best for you.
First of all I would like to make an important point here. Being a man and not a doctor, I do not claim to have any expert knowledge on the subject of menstruation. But I get tons of emails on this subject, especially from women telling me they found this information valuable.
A similar purification occurs during a woman's menses (menstrual period). This is a great purification where she can absorb huge divine vibrations. This is a similar process of purification and decharging as the new and full moon timings. Some people find it beneficial not to exchange energy during this time also. A man can become disturbed by her energy, like a magnet disturbs a heap of iron filings. One time a menses lady grabbed hold of me and gave me a hug. It took me several hours to get my energy back.
Some people find that observing these full moon, new moon and menstrual timings, the relationships are more smooth, blissful and loving. If you exchange bodily fluids or sexual energy with a menses lady on the peak of the new or full moon period, it could enough to ruin that entire relationship. When a girl is on her menses she can become very sensitive and get hurt easily. It can be one of the most frequent causes of heartbreak in a woman. She can become upset and hurt by even small things. But it is also a time to show affection and support. Women deserve all respect, love and attention in all situations of life.
The only rule that makes sense for men and women is "to love" each other, and then all problems can be understood and solved easily in the best way for each person.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Rand Paul, a favorite of conservative "Tea Party" groups, beat the establishment choice on Tuesday to win the Republican U.S. Senate primary in the biggest victory so far for the loosely organized movement, CNN projected.
Paul, a doctor and son of libertarian Republican Representative Ron Paul, beat Secretary of State Trey Grayson in a race seen as an early test of the strength of the Tea Party.
Grayson was the handpicked choice of Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell. Paul will face whoever emerges from a field of five Democratic candidates in the November election to replace retiring Republican Senator Jim Bunning.

Clemson Head Football Coach Dabo Swinney and Men's Head Basketball coach Brad Brownell were in the Lowcountry on Thursday for the annual Prowl and Growl Coaches Tour at the USS Yorktown.
The coaches took time to meet with fans and sign autographs before previewing their upcoming seasons.
Before the event both coaches talked with the media about a number of topics, including the new ACC TV rights deal that should ensure that no teams leave the conference in the near future. Swinney and Brownell each seemed excited about the new agreement and the stability it should provide.

Thank you letter
"I'm really glad Becky and I had an opportunity to savor a 2009 Olive Hill Estate Cab before it's official release.
Man am I glad we did! This is arguably one of the 2 best vintages of the Olive Hill Estate Cab we've tasted since our first purchase with you back in 1988! Wow, wow, wow! Deep and pure. Some of the best berry nose and taste ever! Mr. Cohn should go nuts with sales of this vintage.
Becky and I have been big, loyal fans of all of you and Mr. Cohn himself, of course at the winery for good reason. He is one smart guy who understands very well how to serve his customers with an incredible portfolio of wines. He smartly markets to all facets of wine consumers and a reason why I hope in these difficult economic times he stays successful for the long haul.
Tell Mr. Cohn and all of his staff (and especially Darlene) that we are patrons for life and continue to wish all continued success and good fortune for years to come. Be sure and let me know if there will be a 2009 Special Selection in the works down the line!!"

We all want love, sure. But sometimes, when it comes to relationships, the phrase 'be careful what you wish for' comes to mind. It's not all flowers and candy and romantic, candlelit dinners. Love is hard work, and let's face it, most of us don't know exactly how to behave (or how our partner should behave) once we find it. If you're having trouble in your relationship and wondering if you're headed for splitsville, or even if things are sailing along smoothly for the moment, it's important to consider the following:
Don't mistake arguing for ending things
Oftentimes, we think that struggle indicates things aren't working, and sometimes it does. But the simple truth is people disagree. We're not always meant to get along and the ability to argue can be a sign of a healthy relationship – one where you each express your opinions, needs and desires. However, remember that emotional or physical abuse and arguing are not the same thing. Abuse should never be tolerated. Too many nit-picky arguments probably also mean that it's time to reassess your situation. That doesn't necessarily mean ending things, but a relationship renovation is probably in order.
You're not always right…
This may seem like a bad thing since we all like to get our way as often as possible, but compromise is the true art of a relationship and everybody's gotta do it… sometimes. If your problems are stemming from one or the other of you always wanting/getting their own way, come up with a strategy so that you get equal say and split the differences when you disagree or want different things. Making your partner happy should make you happy and vice versa – so in the end, when you compromise, no one loses after all.
Relationships aren't ever easy. There are a zillion little things that go into making them work every day, not to mention several really big ones, most important of which might be mutual respect and friendship. If you can't trust your partner to be your friend, then how can you expect anything more from them? Remember also, that love is a two way street. Take responsibility for yourself and your actions. You'll be respected for it, even when you do make mistakes.

Education, credentials, and immigrant earnings
AbstractUsing 1981 to 2001 Census data, we study how the human capital of immigrants is rewarded in Canada. We distinguish between years of schooling and degrees obtained in order to estimate `sheepskin' effects - the gain in earnings associated with receipt of a degree, controlling for years of schooling. We find that immigrant years of schooling and immigrant work experience accumulated before arrival is valued much less than Canadian experience of comparable natives. However, for immigrants the increase in earnings associated with completing educational programs is generally higher than that of comparable natives. We provide both signalling and human capital interpretations of this finding.

Birmingham police have charged a man with attempted murder in a shooting that happened earlier this week.
Police responded to a shooting in the 1000 block of 20th Street South around 1 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 26. A male victim had been shot in the stomach and was taken to the hospital for treatment. He is expected to recover from his injury.
Officers learned that the victim and the suspect got into a verbal fight just before the shooting. The suspect called police to tell him he had been involved and was taken into custody without incident.
Joshua White, 22, has been charged with two counts of attempted murder. The second count is for another person who was with the victim at the time of the shooting, but was not harmed.
White is in custody of the Jefferson County Jail on a $60,000 bond.

|Sony Ericsson T610 Camera Phone Review
|2003-12-12 03:27:44
I must note that the photos quality is very very poor.
Showing messages 1 through 3 of 3.
2003-12-22 11:55:39 anonymous2 [View]
The T610 is an absolutely amazing phone, taking into account every feature .. including the size. Yes the Nokia 3650 may have a better picture taking resolution, but let's face it: the phone is a beast and no one wants to carry a "remote control" around in their pocket. The T610 is all around one of the finest phones available.
2003-12-12 13:21:24 Todd Ogasawara | [View]
Well, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But, I certainly do not classify the T610's integrated camera as useless. If you look at the
article comparing the T610 camera with other mini-camera systems I have on my personal site, you can see it actually compares pretty well with higher resolution cameras. Does it compare with a 5 megapixel camera? Not really. But, it sure is a lot easier to carry around and more likely to be with you for something interesting to photograph. I think the T610's camera is quite acceptable for what it was intended to do: Let you take quick unscheduled photographs anyplace and anytime. Are the photos suitable for an 8x10 print? No. Are they suitable for a 4x6 print? Well, with a little unsharp filter work and some contrast enhancement, the resulting prints can be ok. Certainly better than not having the photo at all. And, that, to me, is the value of any of these camera-phones. You can get the photo you would have otherwise completely missed...todd
2003-12-12 05:10:45 anonymous2 [View]
You don't make clear your frame of reference.
Are you saying that it is poor by the standard of cameraphones at this price-point, or are you making an absolute aesthetic judgement that pictures below a certain quality threshold are of no use.

Currently there is a call to join the Post-2015 global consultation on energy! Alongside the vision of the Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL) initiative this is a call for collaboration on the most pressing issues we face today. As the world approaches 2015, the overall target date for achieving the MDGs (Millennium Development Goals), thinking has begun on how to advance the global development agenda beyond 2015. The establishment of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) to continue after the MDGs after 2015 is part of ongoing activities to ensure the energy transition towards a low-carbon, sustainable future is kept high on the international development agenda.
Right now, the Global Consultation on Energy is underway. It offers an opportunity to connect with a range of people to build a shared vision of the key energy challenges that will feed into the post-2015 development agenda. The aim is built a shared vision of the world we want in 2015.
Relevant information on the global conversation on the post-2015 development agenda can now be found at the 'World We Want 2015′ Website which is jointly owned by United Nations agencies and civil society organizations. This is the online platform of the Global Thematic Consultation on Energy and it is built as an open and inclusive space to discuss the role of energy in the post-2015 development agenda.
You can support this important mission in several ways:
REEEP is keen to actively partake in SE4ALL activities and contribute our experience of over 10 years work to accelerate the marketplace for clean energy in developing countries. REEEP sees its role especially in three areas:
If we want to successfully tackle the most pressing problems of our times, we need to work together and bring every good idea to the table!
