How Have You Freed Up Your Time?
Real Simple readers reveal their strategies for eliminating obligations from their schedules.
Shaving Hours Off Getting Ready
It used to take me two or three hours to wash, dry, and style my long, thick hair. Then a friend told me about Locks of Love,
an organization that accepts donations of hair to make wigs for children suffering from disease-related hair loss. I cut off
15 inches and sent it to the organization, and now I have a cute, shorter style that I no longer have to spend hours styling.

Finding Shortcuts at Home
I stopped sorting and matching socks for my family of five. It was such a waste of time. Now we pin our socks together before
throwing them into the hamper, and they never get lost.

I take all my ironing to a local dry cleaner, where I pay $1 per shirt for pressing. It saves me hours of work every week.
Della Nichols
Roseville, California
I do not wash dishes anymore. When I have company, I use china, but when it's just my family, I use paper goods. But I do make sure to buy disposable items that are environmentally friendly and recyclable.
Tania Hammer
Far Rockaway, New York
I hired my niece to dust and vacuum my house. She earns some money, and I get free time.
Lori Sandstedt
Redlands, California
The last time I moved, I threw away old receipts, statements, and college papers that I had been sorting and filing for years. Not only did I get rid of a burdensome system but I also ran the paper through a shredder and used the scraps in place of Styrofoam to pack my fragile items for the move.

I handed over the bill-paying duties to my husband. This way he shares the worry, completes a household chore, and even spends less money than he used to.
M. Dodds
Vancouver, British Columbia
I take out the recycling every other week instead of every week. It takes just as much effort to lug a half-empty bin to the curb as a full one, so why not wait?

The poker epidemic has spread to the Hill as well, consuming entire residence halls, leaving wallets (both empty and filled-to-capacity) in its wake. For some students, playing poker is simply the continuation of a long-standing love affair with the game. Students like Mike Frasier `04 have been poker players for almost a decade.
"Poker games are much more frequent on campus than at home, and in the past year playing poker has become much more popular than it ever was before," Frasier said.
Noah Loome `05 agrees that students are playing more poker than ever before. However, he cites a bandwagon craze to explain poker's recent popularity. "It's like people who only watch the Twins when they're winning; poker is just the thing to do now," Loome, a weekly player, said. Others, including Fraiser, attribute poker's resurgence to recent television programs like "World Poker Tour" on the Travel Channel and "World Series of Poker" on ESPN. These games showcase the greatest poker players on earth and command loyal viewership.
The pay-off of playing poker is increasing as well. The "World Series of Poker" boasts a first prize of $2.5 million, a winner's share bigger than the Kentucky Derby, Wimbledon and the Indianapolis 500. Clearly, the prize for the average St. Olaf game doesn't compare to the "World Series," but players find motivations other than money to play. Most players agree that the most appealing aspect of the game is the camaraderie between players. "I play because I love the game and the psychology involved in it," Frasier said.
These days, one doesn't even need friends to play poker. Online gaming websites are available to those without the time or resources to organize a game, as is often the case for Ben Veach `07 who plays online "Texas Hold 'em" during study breaks. "It's a fun game, and although I like to play with my friends, it's getting easier to play it whenever I want," Veach said.

This is a very pretty hilighter with a LOT of pay off! Because the pigment is very light I do find it can sometimes look a bit to sheeny? It's perfect for brow bone & cuspids bow! It lasts a long time I've had mine since January, pretty much use it everyday & still have no wholes in the compact yet! I use a RT setting brush to apply!
NC20. More yellow pigments in my skin. Dehydrated skin with oily t-zone. Dry patches around my nose.
I have been looking for a highlighter to give me an effortlessly glowing from within look. You knoe when you're staring at somebody and you say... Damn how, how is she radiating like that?! We'll yeah I was after a product like that. I was tossing up between TheBalm Mary Loumanizer and Soft and Gentle... In the end I chose S&G because it's was easier to find. (Ended up buying TheBalm after being disappointed with Soft and Gentle!)
S&G is one of those highlighters that is definitely detectable on the skin. Therefore it was not the effortless look I was hoping to achieve. You would look at me and without a doubt know I had highlighter on. I would describe this as... A neutral champagne with flecks of gold particles. The gold flecks are nice for night time, maybe, but definitely obvious during the day. It can make me look... Like a glitterball and sometimes sweaty (especially in photos). As a result of the flecks, I find that it can accentuate pores I didn't even know was there - sitting ontop and drawing unwanted attention. I have tried applying with a highlighter brush. A blush brush. Contour - all by Real Techniques. The best brush is a flat foundation or a blending eyeshadow or fingers and blending.
I also have Bobbi Brown's Shimmerbrick in Pink Quartz which was the only highlighter I had before purchasing S&G. It is Soft and Gentle's dupe! But without the glitter/flecks. I get an ethereal sheen/glow with Pink Quartz. Due to the strips in Bobbi Brown strips, you have the option of making it more pink or bronze. I have had it for 5 years and still haven't hit pan. Worth the $72AUD I bought it for.
When it comes down to it, I regret buying S&G but will try using it as an eyeshadow and highlighter occasionally. Hence the no repurchase.
I ended up buying TheBalm's famous Mary Loumanizer in the end... Holy smokes. My cheeks are glowing this beautiful, words cannot describe, sheen. It is more golden in colour in comparison to Soft & Gentle, which looks warmer swatched beside.
Buy The Balm or Bobbi Brown alternatives!
I found this at my pitiful local outlet mall yesterday (I'm close to an hour away from any Ulta or Sephora store) and was so happy I wanted to do backflips! (Unfortunately, I cannot, in fact, do a backflip). Apparently, online it's $32 and I got mine for $21 - score! Anyway, the color is beautiful. I use it as a highlighter on my cheeks and my nose. It has a lot of shimmer, but I don't mind because I obviously wanted the dewy, wet look anyway. Color payoff is pretty good considering how oily my skin often gets. I did my makeup at 11 AM and it was still going strong by 7:30 PM. The packaging is nice, and you get a lot of product for the price you pay. Definitely would recommend.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this mineralize skinfinish it gives me a nice glow it's several ways I could use this like I use it to highlight my cheekbones and to highlight my nose bridge and for the corners of my eyelids to brighten up my eyes the only thing I dislike about this is it can be to glittery so definitely have to use it very lightly when applying.
I love this highlighter! I have quite a few highlighters, and this is probably my favorite. I don't mind the new packaging, it's the product that I'm concerned with. S&G is a frosty, light, pinky champagne color. I have fair skin (NC15), and I thought this would be too dark for my skin..but it's not at all, it's perfect! It doesn't make you look like a glitter bomb, and i don't see that it accentuates pores either. I wish I wouldn't have waited so long to get it!
More reviews by InParadiseIsland
This highlighter is FANTASTIC. Mac, Well done !! it adds the most beautiful glow. I put it on my cheekbones, cupid's bow, and down the bridge of my nose. Not very fond of the price but you do get a ton of product :)
This is such perfect highlight shade for so many skin tones. It's got enough depth for darker skin tones, but is skin like enough for fair skin tones and I think that's what makes it so versatile and natural looking. It's a champagne bronze shade that's shimmery but not glittery. One complaint is the packaging - I wish it had a mirror, but it is sturdy and functional other than that. Would definitely repurchase.
More reviews by fallenoffwings
Recommend by a MAC MUA, this is the most beautiful champagne highlighter that compliments my skin tone perfectly, and adds a subtle, illuminating definition to the tops of my cheekbones, down the bridge of my nose and Cupid's bow - utterly completing my makeup. I love it very much, and would repurchase, but it was $47 here in Australia, which is quite expensive, but seems like it would be worthwhile and last a long time. Change in packaging is very nice as well, and you can see the product through it.
The best highlighter ever!!! Gives me such a beautiful glow
My new HG hi lighter!! Beautiful champagne glimmer. I even use this on my eyes when I'm doing a quick face. I always love MAC products but this is maybe my fave!

LA JOLLA, Calif. --- California Baptist University hung tough with the stiffest of competition to open the season Saturday, but eventually fell to No. 17 UC Davis and No. 1 USC at the Triton Invitational.
The Lancers dropped the opener 12-10 to UCD and then fell 19-5 to the five-time defending champion USC Trojans.
CBU got five goals from Matt Puig, but it wasn't enough as the Lancers were unable to make up a one-goal deficit heading into the fourth quarter against the Aggies in the opener.
CBU scored with 1:43 left to play to make it 11-10, but couldn't find the equalizer as UCD posted a final goal with 27 seconds left to seal the game.
The Lancers and Aggies were tied after the opening period, but UCD outscored CBU 3-1 in the second to take what would be a decisive two-goal lead.
Puig scored three of his five goals in the fourth quarter. Eric Carnohan and Keith Jizmejian each added two goals in the game. Bernie Rogers led the way for the Aggies with four goals.
In the late game the top-ranked Trojans used a 6-0 second quarter to build a commanding 12-3 lead and outlast CBU to the finish.
The Lancers posted three goals in the opening period, getting strikes from Cody Wetherbee, Carnohan and Jizmejian. The USC defense clamped down after that, however, allowing just two more CBU goals the rest of the way.
The Lancers open the season 0-2 and will be back in action at the Inland Empire Tournament at Redlands next weekend.

Found January 31, 2013 on The Last Angry Fan:
PLAYERS: Blake Griffin
TEAMS: Los Angeles Clippers
TEAMS: Los Angeles Clippers
See people, Blake Griffin highlights do include more than just thunderous dunks. Blake Griffin's 26 points led all scorers as his L.A. Clippers marched into Minnesota and beat the hometown Timberwolves 96-90. Two of Griffin's points came via this crazy circus shot he nailed late in the 4th quarter with the Clips leading by only a triple. Griffin made the free throw and the rest, as they say, is history. Circus shots in basketball are awesome, and circus shots made by big men like Griffin are even awesomer, but whose idea was it to have J.J. Barea guarding the Clippers big man? Barea's a gutsy little player, but giving up 10-inches and 80-pounds to an opponent isn't just a mismatch, it's like the Romans throwing the Christians to the lions. Oh yes, and ridiculous circus shots are most awesomest when they're on continuous loop (via SB Nation)… The post Blake Griffin drains ridiculous circus shot against T-Wolves (VIDEO) appeared first on Last Angry Fan.

The on-going inside trading between the Oakland Raiders and New England Patriots has finally benefited the Silver and Black.
According to reports, the Raiders have acquired 5-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Richard Seymour from the Pats in exchange for a first round pick.
Some have already begun to speculate that Seymour will return to his original position of defensive tackle in the Raiders' 4-3 scheme after having played the last few years as an end in the 3-4 alignment in New England.
Not willing to sit back and watch his team continue to struggle against the run, Al Davis has made a bold move to upgrade his front four by adding the versatile Seymour. As a short term solution this is a great move to gain a veteran player with a winning pedigree. Looking further down the road, Seymour wasn't dealt simply because Bill Belichick felt like he owed the Raiders for the wonderful gift of Randy Moss. Seymour is in a contract year and much like the former Raider he crossed paths with in New England, Derrick Burgess, he'll be due a new deal at season's end.
Perhaps the price tag was too high for the veteran defender, but staying pat with the same defensive line that couldn't stop Steven Hawkin from running on them would have been disastrous at best. Give Mr. Davis credit. He doesn't believe in playing it safe. It is all or nothing for the OG.
On a side note, the Pats and Raiders would be advised to back away from the table for awhile. Roger Goodell is surely onto the scent of the Hoodie and Davis conducting their constant roster shuffling (this is the third trade between the two teams in 2009 alone). If the Raiders should happen to benefit from this deal there is no doubt that the commissioner's office will be eager to remind the Raiders that they're not allowed to have a winning team without league consent prior (see the Tuck Rule).

2010 Fantasy Baseball Projections
Hamstring bothered Vernon Wells again last spring, but his increased swipes total didn't reflect injury. Maybe wrist surgery will help him do more with rebounded flyball percentage. Late-season batting eye improvement says there's some hope he can re-approach a respectable average. His 2006 power probably won't return, but he isn't far from revisiting 20-homer territory. A decent gamble.

David or anyone really,
I am beginning to develop a back story for an orc warrior I would like to RP, one possibly born in the ruins of stormwind before being taken back by the alliance. Then if possible being placed into one of the internment camps and liberated by Thrall and Orgim. Which clan affiliation would an orc of this circumstance fit, my knowledge of lore is a bit weak to accurately decide.
Any other suggestions you might have for a character like this feel free to give. I'm all ears.
Also are comments like this the best means of getting into contact with experienced RP'rs like you all or are there better means

UPDATE: AOL Europe unclear on hack threat
Summary: After MSNBC discovered a serious security glitch in AOL's Instant Messenger, European users are left in the dark on the risks, Will Knight reports
The European offices of AOL do not know whether its subscribers are at risk from malicious computer hackers who have reportedly exploited a security hole in its Instant Messenger service, discovered Monday. One analyst recommends European users stop using IM immediately.
Asked if European users were at risk of having their IM service accounts hacked Director of Corporate Communications for AOL Europe, Matt Peacock, told ZDNet UK News: "I have no idea whether this is an issue [for European users]."
Peacock also said that all "technology issues" and questions of "security regarding the fundamentals of the service" must be referred to AOL headquarters in the United States. The US office was unable to offer any more clarity on the matter.
According to MSNBC, a partner of ZDNet, the security problem gives unauthorised access to Instant Messenger identities, enabling a variety of fraudulent activity including credit-card theft.
Adam Daum, senior consultant at Industry analyst Gartner Group gave clear advice: "I would stop using Instant Messenger immediately and until AOL Europe could offer some guarantee of safety, I would advise others to do the same," he said.
AOL US admitted Monday that it is investigating the security hole but said it could not reveal how many customers may have been targeted because it might obstruct the ongoing investigation.
A computer cracker calling himself TangentX and claiming to be just 17 years old reportedly demonstrated his exploit to MSNBC estimating that more than 400 Instant Messenger identities had been stolen to date.
According to AOL, 45 million people have created AOL Instant Messenger screen names since August 1999.

Adam Russell spent time volunteering in India after graduating. He now works as a mechanical engineer for a theatre automation company and believes his experiences helped him stand out in his job interview.
A recent graduate, Adam completed his degree during the height of the recession and had to decide what to do next.
"I remember thinking, do I stay and risk coming out the next quarter with no new memories or skills or do I go (travelling) and risk the job market deteriorating even more," he says. "I thought taking time out and joining a Raleigh International expedition would give me a fresh aspect on my day to day life which I think is important in this labour market, plus the fun factor and opportunity to give back were also big pulls for me."
He came across Raleigh in the news advertising graduate bursaries and applied to take part in an eco project in India. This programme was divided into a three week hike through a mountain range called the Western Ghats, a three week environmental project renovating a ranger station in Bandipur National Park and a three week community project helping dig rainwater trenches.
"Teamwork is pretty core to the whole expedition I would say, as you need to motivate each other at the low/frustrating points and also work together to solve problems so I would say that is the skill that I developed most," he highlights.
However he did sometimes feel restricted by Raleigh's rules.
"Whilst out there I felt some of Raleigh's health and safety rules to be over the top to the point where it dampened the experience: things like not being able to travel after dark which cut your exploring opportunities significantly," he explains.
His highlight, however, was the trekking experience.
"The view of the Western Ghats from one of the top peaks on the last day of trekking was awesome," he enthuses.
After his volunteering experience Adam applied for and became a project engineer for a hazardous area engineering firm. His is now in his second role, working as a mechanical engineer for a theatre automation company and he believes that volunteering can really help engineers in their career.
"I thinks it's very important for engineers to do gap years and charity expeditions like Raleigh International for global awareness. For instance one of my clients was in the Indian Navy so I used my experience with Raleigh directly to brief staff on India's unique work culture before heading out there.
"By taking part in Raleigh I've developed key skills such as teamwork, communication and developing country awareness. It was and still is a great talking point in interviews. It's also made me approach challenges with a positive attitude that I didn't have before," he explains.

Technorati is a site which I used to use a lot, especially in relation to networking. When I first started using social media, I found it a great place to find blogs, to find people of similar thinking, values etc
Technorati over recent years has reduced in importance with me although I do still use it as the major source for blog searches. This week Technorati relaunched or at least redesigned their site. In my opinion the redesign has made it look more like any other general tech site, rather than a search engine which in many ways I felt it was….
However after saying that I do like the new style Top 100 lists and also the lists within the subcategories. Finding new blogs I believe is much easier….though I would still like to see an easier way to find that smaller gem rather than the big name blogs. Not that there is an easy solution to the problem.
You can also write for Technorati now and there is much more blogging coming out of Technor
ati…is this now becoming a channel expert on blogging rather than merely a search tool? Worth checking out if you haven't been back recently…

Dodge has just added a new entry-level model to their Ram line-up. Typically, automakers try to outshine each other with plenty of gizmos and gadgets to warrant a heftier price tag and a power struggle between them. However, Dodge has taken an entirely different route with this new model, whose name has yet to be decided upon. For now, Dodge is choosing to call the new and affordable Ram by its code name "Adventurer." This new model was produced and targeted for the first time truck buyer who doesn't want to settle for mediocrity. Dodge figures the Tradesman is sure to be a success so why not offer another low budget truck for the masses to swallow up whole.
"We know we have the formula right," said Ram Truck President and CEO Fred Diaz. "Now we just need a great name that promotes pride of ownership. This new Ram model will be an attractive alternative for a younger or first-time buyer looking for performance at an affordable price. Case in point, it will have more horsepower and a lower base price than our competitors' entry-level performance cars with the added benefit of versatility and capability."
In terms of power, Dodge has promised that the new "Adventurer" will borrow the same formula from the highly acclaimed 2011 Ram Tradesman recently revealed at the Chicago Show. This means we should expect to see a 5.7-liter V8 engine with an output of 390 horsepower and 407 lb.-ft. of torque tucked neatly underneath the truck's massive hood.
The Dodge Ram 1500 "Code Name: Adventurer" will go on sale in the second quarter of 2011 at a bargain price of $23,830.
Hit the jump to read more about the Dodge Ram 1500 "Code Name: Adventurer".
Exterior and Interior
The new Ram "Adventurer" will be distinguished by a monochromatic paint scheme illustrated in a body-colored grille with black honeycomb inserts, body-colored front fascia, and body-colored rear fascia with chrome-tipped dual exhausts. The pick-up will sit on 20-inch aluminum wheels with locking lug nuts. There's also a locking tailgate, cargo lamp, rear-bumper step pad, 6" x 9" side-view mirrors, and rear wheel-well liners.
On the interior, the Ram will get a heavy-duty vinyl 40/20/40 split-bench seat, vinyl or carpeted floor covering, air conditioning, an instrument cluster with tachometer and 120-mph speedometer, 12-volt auxiliary power outlet, four-spoke tilt steering wheel, and a six-speaker media center with CD and MP3 player. Other little knick-knacks scattered throughout the pickup are an audio jack input for mobile devices, automatic headlamps, behind-the-seat storage bins, driver and passenger assist handles, power accessory delay, rear dome lamp, rear-view day/night mirror, tinted glass windows, and tip start and variable intermittent windshield wipers.
Dodge has placed the same 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engine as in the recently launched Tradesman version under the hood of their new pickup and it will deliver the same 390 HP and 407 lb.-ft. of torque.
The new Adventurer also comes as a regular cab, short-bed model, with a choice of 4x2 or 4x4 drivetrain. When equipped with an optional Class IV hitch, the new Ram will tow a maximum trailer weight of 9,100 lbs.
The new Dodge Ram 1500 "Code Name: Adventurer" will go on sale in the second quarter of 2011 at a price of $23,830.
With such a low price on its side, the new Ram "Adventurer" gets a little bit closer to the competitors, mainly theFord F-150 , the GMC Sierra Denali HD , and the Nissan Titan .
The F-150 is powered by a 6.2-liter V8 engine that delivers a total of 411 HP and 434 lb-ft of torque. It has a fuel economy of 18 mpg in the 4x2 version and 16 mpg in 4x4 version, with prices starting from $23,390. The GMC Sierra Denali HD is powered by a 6.2L Variable Valve Timing V8 that delivers a total of 403 HP at 3,000 rpm and 417 lb.-ft. of torque. The Sierra is priced from $20,850. Both of these models are cheaper and have more power than the Ram, so a sale against them would be a tough deal to make.
The Nissan Titan is the only competitor that gives the Rama fighting chance. With a starting price of $26,820, the Nissan Titan is powered by a 5.6-liter DOHC Endurance V8 engine rated at 317 HP and 385 lb-ft torque mated to standard 5-speed automatic transmission. That's a model that is not only more expensive than the Ram "Adventurer," but is packing less power than it as well.
- Lower price, gets closer to competitors
- HEMI engine
- Cool look
- Less powerful than its competitors
- Price is still too high for that amount of power

For your own well being please keep in mind that advice you read here may not apply exactly to your own situation, and that if you are sick, no information on the web can take the place of a hands on examination by your physican who knows you and cares about you.

Dear Holly: The following information regarding Neurofibromatosis is from MD Consult Online, Copyright © Clinical Reference Systems 1999 Pediatric Advisor. If this is not the condition you are seeking information about, check the spelling and get back to me. This was the closest I could come to neurobromoosis
DescriptionNeurofibromatosis 1 is also called generalized neurofibromatosis or NF-1. It is a genetic and chronic (ongoing) condition affecting about 1 in 4000 people.
Nearly all children with NF-1 eventually have:
Parts of the body that may be affected include the eye, the bones, and sometimes the blood vessels, gastrointestinal tract, nerves, and brain.
- large brown skin spots called cafe-au-lait spots (Most people with NF-1 have six or more cafe-au-lait spots. Fewer than six spots is fairly common in people who do not have NF-1.)
- neurofibromas (noncancerous tumors of the sheaths of the nerves) in the skin or elsewhere in the body.
DiagnosisNF-1 is diagnosed when two or more of the following features are present:
- several cafe-au-lait spots
- two or more rubbery bumps called neurofibromas
- freckling in the armpits or groin areas
- a growth on the nerve to the eye called an optic glioma
- growths on the iris of the eyes called Lisch nodules
- thinning of the long bones (with or without joint problems)
- a first-degree relative (parent, brother or sister, or child) with NF-1.
Growth and DevelopmentInfants with NF-1 tend to be shorter than average, with heads somewhat larger than average.
When a child with NF-1 is born, he or she may have only the cafe-au-lait spots. The size of the spots varies from 1/4 inch in diameter to several inches. Sometimes newborns have armpit freckling and occasionally neurofibromas.
New cafe-au-lait spots often appear during infancy and early childhood; the spots do not harm your child. As children grow older, the cafe-au-lait spots and neurofibromas tend to increase in number and size. Neurofibromas are particularly prone to increase in size during adolescence and pregnancy.
Neurofibromas may develop in other body organs besides the skin. Sometimes they cause problems, depending on where they develop. Neurofibromas can put pressure on vital structures (for example, blood vessels) and thus do damage to the organs they are pressing on. Neurofibromas need to be removed surgically when they:
For reasons that are not well understood, learning disorders are more common in people with NF-1 than in the general population. Speech problems, hyperactivity, attention problems, seizures, and mental retardation are also somewhat more common. High blood pressure may occur. Some cancers occur in greater than expected rates in persons with NF-1.
- may damage vital organs
- cause pain
- are infected
- are a cosmetic concern.
Health Care for a Child with NeurofibromatosisMany doctors care for a child with NF-1. The schedule for well-child visits is the same as for other children, but there are some extra services and care your child needs.
The best treatment for neurofibromas is not yet known but many studies are in progress to determine if they can be reduced.
- Infancy: Regular check-ups, including blood pressure measurements, are important. Be sure to cover your child with sunscreen when he or she is out in the sunlight.
- As parents of a newborn with NF-1, you may wish to discuss with a geneticist concerns you have about your child or other family members and the possibility of having other children with NF-1.
- 1 to 4 Years: Neurofibromas of the skin may develop during these years and may require medication to prevent itching. It is important for your child to have an annual eye exam by an eye doctor and a hearing exam before he or she enters preschool or kindergarten.
- 5 to 12 Years: Some children with NF-1 enter puberty (sexual development) too early. Your doctor will check your child for pubic hair, breast enlargement, or other changes that suggest sexual maturation at an age that is too young. Your doctor may also review your child's school achievement and ability to get along with others.
- 13 to 21 Years: Curvature of the spine, known as scoliosis, occasionally affects adolescents with NF-1 and should be checked for periodically.
Call Your Child's Physician During Office Hours If:
- You are worried about your child's:
- learning or behavior
- vision
- nervous system
- curvature of the back.
- Benadryl does not relieve the discomfort from itching.
- You have other questions.

Dear DI: Tegretol is secreted in human milk but the concentrations in the blood of nursing infants is not too high and there have been no reported problems related to nursing while taking Tegretol. Neurontin is a relatively new drug. It is not known whether or not it is secreted in breast milk. No studies have been done regarding the safety of Neurontin in nursing mothers. If the amount of your milk the infant gets is minimal, logic suggests that there shouldn't be any problem, but where there is lack of knowledge and potential for problems, I can only urge caution.
Dr. Warren
-a Nursing Student
Dear Nursing Student: Your classmate is correct. According to Ellenhorn's Medical Toxicology, 2nd ed., Copyright © 1997 Williams & Wilkins, Most household bleaches (e.g., Clorox) contain less than 5% sodium hypochlorite, which causes a moderate mucosal irritation. This could produce nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain. It would require a massive ingestion to produce toxicity. The concentration of sodium hypochlorite in Clorox is not high enough to be caustic. Industrial strength bleaches and granules which are a higher concentration could be caustic.

* Tracheoesophageal Fistula with or without Esophageal Atresia
General DiscussionEsophageal Atresia and Tracheoesophageal Fistula are disorders of the esophagus that may be inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic trait, or may result from developmental problems in a fetus. Esophageal Atresia is a condition in which the patient is born with an abnormality in the part of the digestive tube that runs from below the tongue to the stomach (esophagus). This disorder is commonly associated with Tracheoesophageal Fistula which is an abnormal tubelike passage between the windpipe and esophagus. Symptoms of these disorders may be excessive about salivation, choking, the return of swallowed food into the mouth, and/or a swollen abdomen when a Tracheoesophageal Fistula is present.

Dear Steve: Peanut butter is a choking hazard just like peanuts because it is sticky. Soft bread with peanut butter can easily get caught in the roof of a child's mouth and be difficult for a young child to manipulate. Peanuts are also a potent allergen. Peanut butter carries the same allergy risk as peanuts. It is generally recommended that peanut butter be avoided until a child is at least 2 years old.
Dr. Warren
Dear JAM: There are so many possibilities for the 5 week old who appears to be vomiting, that you will need your pediatrician's help to sort it out. As long as the baby is holding down most of his feedings and the vomiting does not escalate in frequency or amount, your son is in no danger. The main risk of vomiting is dehydration. If your son is urinating well and feeding well, you have time to work with your pediatrician to figure this out.
Many babies appear to be vomiting when they are really just spitting. Big spitters may not start out that way because they take small feedings as newborns. As the volume of their feedings increases they start to bring up formula after each feeding, often large amounts with burps and smaller amounts in between. Your pediatrician can help determine if that's what's going on with your baby by following his weight gain and determining if he is thriving.
If the baby starts to have projectile vomiting (vomiting that shoots out forcefully), at 5 weeks you have to think of pyloric stenosis. If the baby is not gaining well, has projectile vomiting and vomiting after most feedings, your pediatrician can get an ultrasound study to look at the pylorus. It might also help for your doctor to observe a feeding and see the vomiting.
If the baby continues to vomit and has a great degree of discomfort, he may be having a significant amount of gastroesophageal reflux. These babies may gain well, but they are irritable from the discomfort and may have coughing or wheezing. If that is the case, an evaluation by a gastroenterologist can help determine if medication would be useful.
Formula sensitivity can cause vomiting. Since soy is not a hypoallergenic formula, it might be better to try the baby on a formula like Nutramigen or Alimentum.
Dr. Warren
Before returning to work his stool was full of curds and his bowel movements occured about 5 times a day. I started drinking chamomile tea and hoped that since I'm breastfeeding him, he could somehow feel the stomach calming effects of this tea. I've also been giving him MyIicon drops when his tummy aches occur.
The result is that his tummy aches are less frequent but still occuring and his stool is still completely liquid.
My question is: Do you have any suggestions of anything else I could try?
Dear EPK: From your description, I am not sure that anything unusual is going on. If I understand correctly, your baby is having bowel movements every 3 days. Even if they are watery, since they are infrequent, this does not represent diarrhea. Many nursing babies go from a bowel movement after every feeding to a BM every 3 to 5 days around 3 to 5 months of age. Your baby may just be following the natural course of events which just coincidentally coincide with your return to work. Other factors which may play a role include changes in your diet due to being back at work and swallowed air resulting from bottle feedings. These may be improved by altering your diet and experimenting with different bottles.
It is also possible, with your being back to work, that you brought home an intestinal virus without being too sick yourself. If your baby has an intestinal virus, it is probably on its way to resolution by now. For more information about intestinal viruses, read my article, Management of Gastroenteritis.
Dr. Warren
Dear DR: An elevated PTT indicates an abnormality in the normal clotting mechanism such as a deficiency of one of the clotting factors. Your granddaughter should be evaluated by a hematologist prior to having surgery. She may require treatment with clotting factors prior to surgery.

Discount Retailers Boosted by Change
By Hussain Asghar - August 19, 2013 | Tickers: DG, DLTR, FDO
During the recent economic and financial crisis, discount retailers flourished in the US. The shrinking middle class and declining median household incomes have led to a drastic change in the spending habits of US residences over the years.

What is Wal-Mart Signaling About The Health of The Consumer?
By Bob Ciura - August 15, 2013 | Tickers: COST, DG, WMT
It's no shock that the nation's largest retailer, Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT), stands as a bellwether for the health of the domestic consumer.
Wal-Mart is a retailing juggernaut that rakes in more than $460 billion in annual sales. When Wal-Mart reports, the market takes notice, and judging by the market reaction upon receiving Wal-Mart's second quarter earnings, the alarm bells are ringing.

Despite Fred's (NASDAQ: FRED) having been around since 1947, there's a pretty good chance you have never heard of it.

Why is This Buyout of a Humble Kansas Retailer More Than It Appears?

Investors who live outside of the U.S. heartland have probably never heard of Abilene, Kansas-based ALCO Stores (NASDAQ: ALCS), one of the few remaining retailers to maintain the "neighborhood general store" concept in an increasingly competitive and fragmented marketplace. However, ALCO could turn into the subject of a rare and potentially lucrative bidding war that draws investors from all corners of the market.

This Dollar Store Will Continue to Outperform
By Piyush Arora - August 7, 2013 | Tickers: DG, DLTR, FDO
History has shown that during austerity drives, companies that help in cutting costs are the ones that benefit the most. So it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why the shares of most discounted variety stores have outperformed over the last couple of years. And since the unemployment rate is still high, while the inflation rate is below 2%, these retail chains will most likely continue their more »

This Earnings Surprise Might Turn Out to be a Shock
By pranay agrawal - July 22, 2013 | Tickers: DG, DLTR, FDO
After the announcement of positive third-quarter results, Family Dollar Stores' (NYSE: FDO) share price rose 7% the very same day. However, investors failed to observe the results closely, thus they didn't realize that falling profits and declining margins are not very good signs for the company.
The company took a major beating in January after its results for the first quarter were published as it trimmed its whole year more »
How Discounters Stack up to the Giant

The two leading dollar stores have been on a tear thanks to the economic downturn. Yet, even as the economy is rebounding, Dollar General (NYSE: DG) and Family Dollar Stores (NYSE: FDO), continue to outshine the retail giant Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT).

Can This be a Dollar Store, Literally?
By Dhara Thakkar - July 22, 2013 | Tickers: DG, DLTR, FDO
A typical discount store is one that sells products at prices lower than those asked by traditional retail outlets, with most of them offering a wide assortment of goods while others specialize in such merchandise as jewellery, electronic equipment, or electrical appliances. Post-recession, discount retailers gained great strength as many customers traded down from regular retail channels. Dollar stores gained a particular popularity owing to their product prices, which are more »
A Different Kind of Dollar Store
By Daniel Jennings - July 22, 2013 | Tickers: BIG, DG, FDO
Low-end retailers like Family Dollar Stores (NYSE: FDO)(NYSE: FDO)(NYSE: FDO) are taking too many risks to be good investments. I recently argued that at least two of them have entered bubble territory because of over expansion.

The Dividend Fad, Consider These Retail Regulars

There's been a lot of concern about dividend stocks of late as interest rates have started to move higher.

Sherlock and Irene
"Of course not, you always forget the milk" Irene replied glancing to the left "A walk it is then love"
As she looked into his eyes, she knew he was trying to figure out her motive, her reason. He would never find one but always keep searching for it. It was pointless but so many things were, yet they were done anyway. She knew when his posture changed back from his character to his normal stature that once again they had gone to far. They had reached the line never to crossed, only tip toed. She was the one who did most of tip toeing , but it wasn't that she cared, she lied to do it mostly to see what he would do. How he would react to the situation, how he would get himself out of it. It was another thing she liked to do when she was bored. She guessed their game was over,the curtain drawn, the sheet lifted over the charade. She was only slightly saddened, only because it had become fun, but she was fine with moving on, it was bound to get boring anyway.
They looked at each other, seeing beyond the face, trying to see the words written out on each other face. She knew her pupils were dilated, simply because he was making a note of her eyes, there would be no other reason for it. He wouldn't try to measure her pulse again, she knew the trick now. Irene knew she had picked a good place to stand, he couldn't draw anything more from her hidden face. Just how she liked it, him not having a clue. His eyes continued to search with renewed interest, the corners of his mouth twitching with what she guessed was slight annoyance as he came up blank.
She caught the breath he let out, he had been holding it, was that because he was so intently focused on her that he had forgot to or because he had simply forgotten. She didn't have enough evidence to back any answer exclusively. Irene guessed the phone acrobatics was his was distancing himself from the conversation. A metaphorical bell if you will, as if he needed one. She could tell his smile was faked, she had won this round, he demeanour reflected that. He was having trouble with what to do in the situation. Irene just smiled and waited to see what he would do. She knew their play was over now, no questions of returning to it.
The silence was broken with his statement, he should have been able to guess she didn't care much for the subject matter, not that she was bored with him around. "Then Mrs.Hudson will be getting a surprise won't she?" she replied, moving across from him, glancing at the window. She was facing the door, right beside him. side by side. Where she felt she should be, but knew in her heart she couldn't be. Not now, maybe not ever, time would tell.
While little changed in Irene's body language, there weren't really any major shifts as far as he could tell, her demeanour was nonetheless noticeably different. It was in the minuscule barely noticeable details, the results of a different emotional range being played out. It was instinctual, the knowledge of this shift, but he did not question it. There was nothing left of the woman who had just done his dishes, the character melted of off her like snow on a warm spring day disappeared from the ground. Quickly, and yet the ground appeared no different from before. Of course, in their case the situation was more the other way around. What had been a warm spring day - their pretended domestic bliss had been expressed by uncommon warmth between them - had gone back to become the game they normally played. Not that they were usually frosty, that was extrapolating too far. They were simply far from a married couple and therefore acted nothing like one. It was a very logical step, really. And yet Sherlock couldn't help but feel as if it had gotten really quite chilly between the two over the few seconds that passed and he wasn't quite sure why. Perhaps it was only by comparison. Perhaps the loss of this round, this charade that he himself had started in response to her words, frustrated him.
She was smug. One could not miss that. No, she didn't change her posture much or say anything. But it was definitely there in her silence. And her smile. Sherlock was known for being almost annoyingly good at getting the last word, if only because half the time he'd say something and then dash out the door to test his theory. But this was far from the only time when he didn't - he had grown up with an older brother, after all. He told himself to shrug it off and having glanced at his watch - a gesture easily done discretely when he fiddled with his phone - brought up Mrs Hudson. Irene Adler was not impressed, something she made perfectly clear by dismissing his statement entirely. And yet it was not something to simply push to the side. There were undeniable facts to consider:
Mrs Hudson had seen her before, when she'd decided to simply move into their place for a day or two.
Mrs Hudson was perfectly aware of her passage into the Deadlands.
Mrs Hudson was not a part of their game.
And last but not least, Mrs Hudson was not an absolute moron. Were she to meet or see Irene Adler she would be quite pristinely aware of who she was.
So she had to leave Baker Street. It was that simple. And yet, he didn't seem quite as appeased by this perfectly logical conclusion as he normally was. Firstly, the Woman was dead. And while he was fully confident in her abilities, being dead did put a damper on ones opportunities of amusement. And while he had no illusions as to his importance or if he was disposable, he imagined she had come to him because under their antagonistic exterior they were after all something resembling friends. Not quite friends, but as close as two people like themselves were likely to be friends. And thus he got no real enjoyment from knowing he must kick her out of the apartment to face boredom. Nor did he by any means wish to face the absolute boredom that was the flat without a case or scientific experiment, or John. And John was working because apparently they had to pay the bills. Dull.
"Oh no she won't, darling dearest." It was not a full return to their charade, but the closest he was going to get to sorry for sending her away. Besides, he wasn't really sending her away, of course. He left her side and walked over to the chair over which her coat hung, grabbed it and held it out for her to step into like the gentleman he never bothered to be. "You promised me a walk. And groceries."

Filed under: Geneva Motor Show, Crossover, Hatchback, Subaru
The big premiere for Subaru at next month's Geneva Motor Show will be the new Impreza VX. The all-wheel-drive specialist hasn't yet provided any images of the car, but judging from the description in the press release, it sounds as if this Europe-only model is pretty much the Outback Sport we get here.
A unique grille, wheel arches and roof rails visually set the VX apart from standard Imprezas. Propulsion comes via a choice of 2.0-liter boxer-fours, fueled by either gasoline or diesel. The Impreza VX goes on sale in Europe this summer.
Joining the Impreza VX on the stand will be the Hybrid Tourer Concept that we first saw at Tokyo last fall, as well as the plug-in Stella. The press release is after the jump.

SHEBOYGAN COUNTY, WI (WHBL) - Sheboygan County's unemployment rate improved in the month of March. According to the Department of Workforce Development, the unemployment rate for the county dropped two tenths of a percent to 5.8. In the City of Sheboygan, the rate dropped one tenth to 7.1. All this occurred despite no change in the number of people employed in the Sheboygan metro area from February to March.
Most counties, large cities and metro areas saw their unemployment rates go down last month. For the state as a whole, the rate in March was at 5.9 percent. That is the lowest it has been since November of 2008.

If I were ever to roll a worgen druid, he'd HAVE to be feral, for exactly the same reasons that's stated in this article. It'd be too bizarre for me to ever think of him as a "nurturing" druid (restoration) or the very un-worgen-like boomkin. (A wolf as a bird?) Which probably means I'd never roll one, since I already have a level 85 night elf druid who already has a very feral personality in my head. Unless I somehow convince myself that my night elf will one day be more open to either restoration or balance. (Balance's a distinct possibility. We'll see.)
I think Blizzard really missed the boat on not making the worgen's feral model a WOLF, though. Would have made all the sense in the world.
Nice article!
Why is that, though? Wolves are very nurturing to their kin. After all, the pack is the protection. Lose the pack, lose the protection. While a feral worgen druid might see an injured party member as a weakness to be left behind, the resto worgen druid is more like the denmother; she has the power to heal her packmates and she will do so. The original Gilnean druids were resto: healing the lands and nurturing crops. Resto is a natural fit for a worgen druid imo.

I suppose I'm seeing it mostly from a male perspective and not a "denmother's" as you put it.

On The Jellicoe Road, Melina Marchetta (2006)★★★★★
For our first foray into Australian Young Adult Fiction, I'm pulling out what might possibly be my favourite book of all time.
When Taylor Markham was 11 years old, her mother abandoned her at a petrol station on Jellicoe Road. Six years later, she's made a home for herself at the boarding school down the road, and with Hannah in her half finished house on the school's property line, and with last year's seniors on their way out she finds herself responsible for 50 kids, and for leading the annual territory wars against the Cadets and the Townies.
Alongside the story of Taylor, we have Narnie's story. The story of a car crash 22 years ago that destroyed two families and helped forge a new one.
This book takes a while to really take off, and can be a bit confusing at first, especially if you miss the note about skipping forward 22 years like I did at first, but I've yet to meet someone who hadn't been completely converted by the end. This is a book that after countless rereads still brings me to tears, and I am not a crier. And it's one that only gets better each time you revisit it.
Like most of Marchetta's novels, this is not a book afraid to take on heavy issues, and this is not a book filled with happy well adjusted characters. It contains suicide, drug addiction, references to abuse, references to molestation. And Jonah Griggs who, we are told by way of introduction, killed his father.
It's not a happy novel, but it's a rewarding one. Filled with characters who warm your heart, and then break it. Filled with some of the ugliest parts of our world, and still managing to be a book about hope and friendship.
This is a book worth reading.
Jonah Griggs makes the book worth reading.
Effing loved this book! I loved all of her books so far!

Aggressive stance.
Mechanically, the FF, with its innovative approach to on-demand all-wheel-drive, is everything you would expect from Ferrari. Should Ferrari have built such an all-season GT entry? It's a debate that will go on in Ferrari circles for some time.
Video of the new Ferrari FF in action, showing this really is an all-weather, all-wheel-drive Ferrari.
(Source: youtube.com)
Better in blue?
What the shape lacks in traditional Ferrari sexiness, it makes up in attention to detail, both inside and out. It truly is a car that looks better in person than in photographs.
The Mazda grin or something more sinister?
The 2012 Ferrari FF, despite its larger passenger cabin, is still a quick, nimble GT that has lost none of alacrity of the 612 Scaglietti it replaces. The factory reports that 0-100 km/h (62 mph) comes up in 3.7 sec. and that the car tops out at 208 mph.
Now THAT'S an entrance.
At its heart, the FF is still a Ferrari.
The 6.3-liter direct-injected V-12 sends 660 bhp (at 8000 rpm) to the wheels via a 7-speed F1 dual-clutch gearbox and the 4RM awd system. The Ferrari FF boasts excellent torque, with 504 lb.-ft. on tap at 6000 rpm.
Ferrari released some official "spy-type" shots of the FF prototype development mule being tested in the frozen northern parts of Sweden and Finland.
Video of the new 2012 Ferrari FF testing its new awd system by drifting through the snow. Is the new FF the most practical Ferrari ever?

There is a learning curve associated with optimal use of two-way interactive messaging units. Accordingly, the first training objective is to educate field supervisors in efficient technical use of the units in one half-day session designed for that purpose. This will be reinforced by a written manual that reviews subjects covered in the training. If additional hands-on training is required, additional sessions will be scheduled, so as to assure that all users of the equipment are proficient with it. Additional objectives of training include educating users in e-mail etiquette, concise writing style, and security of transmissions, as well as the need to save e-mail messages for offline retrieval so that hard-copy backups of the messages may be put into office files (Frings, 1999).
Training in the psychological features of e-mail messaging is an important objective. Users must not concentrate so much on the computer commands that they focus "on the process of sending the message while ignoring its impact on the receiver" (Sussman, Golden, & Beauclair, 1991, p. 70).
