Two types of criminals:"He [Magnussen] is a businessman – he's not a mad chaotic villain, not like the award-winning performance Andrew Scott gave as Moriarty. He is something of great calm and measure that has a depth to it which is an even bigger challenge than the chaos of Moriarty. He is so measured and precise – he is like a shark, a terrifyingly perfect predator of our age." - Benedict Cumberbatch

It's so excellent to start a show where the lead female is an independent character. She's not defined by the men that she's around. That's one of the things that drew me to it. It's so classy to have a female lead like that who's her own and she's rounded, she's clear, she has missions. I think that was a classy choice.

Ichabod Crane in: I'm 1000% sure I don't like your Captain
when kai fagerström happened upon an old cottage in rural suomusjärvi, finland, abandoned decades ago, he began to document its new residents.
there were badger cubs born under the floorboards, who now used the fireplace as an entrance. there was a raccoon dog pup who would drop in every night at the same time. there was a pygmy owl who would try to catch the home's voles. there were red squirrels who had built their dreys inside the house. and there was a fox pup, seen peeking out from a cat door, that had taken up in the dilapidated shed.
"there's consolation in the idea that nature is reclaiming the places it has lent to people," he says, adding that when enters the house "it's like stepping back in time. the past lingers in the corners." it's not just the animals that interest him, but the people no longer there. "who were they? what was their daily life like?"
to get his shots of these human weary animals, fagerström typically envisions an image first and then plans it out. he'll set his camera at the perfect angle, throw out peanuts as bait, and wait patiently for wildlife to wander into the picture frame. "sometimes you get lucky, but often it takes all night," he says. "every so often a shot is pure happenstance."

Jade? Alexander? Do you remember that day you fell outta my window? I sure do - you came jumping right out after me. Well, you fell on the concrete, nearly broke your ass, and you were bleeding all over the place, I rushed you out to the hospital, you remember that? Yes, I do. Well there's something I never told you about that night. What didn't you tell me? Well, while you were sitting in the back seat smoking a cigarette you thought was gonna be your last I was falling deep, deep in love with you, and I never told you 'til just now!
Never theorize before you have data. Invariably, you end up twisting facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.
a while back when I was in London, my friend and I tracked down some Sherlock locations and I took printed pictures with me to catch the exact scene.

Parsons (2000) reports that this second study demonstrated the safety of raspberry leaf tablets (2.4gm daily) taken from 32 weeks pregnancy until the commencement of labour. There were no side effects identified for mother or baby. The analysis of the findings suggested that raspberry leaf tablets shortened the second stage of labour by an average of 10 minutes but made no difference to the length of the first stage of labour. Raspberry leaf tablets reduced the incidence of artificial rupture of membranes, forceps and ventouse births. Although the reduced incidence of these interventions did not prove to be statistically significant - the researches stated that 'these results are clinically significant'.
Raspberry leaf – Should it be recommended to pregnant women?This review evaluates the safety and efficacy of raspberry leaf (Rubus idaeus) in pregnancy. The electronic databases PubMed, ISI Web of Science, AMED, EMBASE, Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database and Cochrane Library were searched. Altogether 12 original publications with focus on safety or efficacy during pregnancy, pharmacology and in vitro tests explaining mode of action or constituents in Rubus idaeus were reviewed. Limited documentation exists and part of it is 50 years old or older. Only the latest animal study indicates an increased risk for the unborn child; however, all the studies are small and cannot rule out negative effects on pregnancy outcome. The efficacy of raspberry leaf is not convincingly documented.My partner drunk it religiously - didn't make a damned difference. Baby was over term, labour was about 18 hours, was a vonteuse delivery.

It is understandable that organizers of events, such as the Gay Parade in São Paulo, push their numbers; it is wrong of Folha to accept them.
Before the rain stopped, at the end of the afternoon on Sept. 18, 1992, demonstrators pushing for the impeachment of then-President Fernando Collor de Mello flaunted the presence of nearly 1 million protesters at the Anhangabaú pedestrian mall in central São Paulo.
For the police, the audience was 650,000. Folha stuck with 70,000, based on a Datafolha survey.
The institute mapped the locale in São Paulo, measuring the areas occupied and observing the density (from two to six people per square meter).
Crowd estimates require rigor, and Folha's stylebook recommends: "At an important event, use scientific measurement of the area, with the assistance of Datafolha."
The newspaper had the good sense to say last Monday that the Gay Parade mobilized in the state capital the equivalent of 50 events such as the summit of people with painted faces.
Together with a photograph showing a sea of people, the front page announced: "Gay Parade in São Paulo holds public record." It added: "According to the calculations of organizers, the event brought together 3.5 million participants."
Folha gave credit to the organization but accepted the count, confirming it as a "record." The newsroom embraced the number: "Gay Parade grows; entertainment and problems too." How did it grow? Because in 2006, the "official" count was 3 million.
Readers pointed out the inconsistency. Letters to the Editor on Tuesday published a letter from Adelpho Ubaldo Longo. He figured the length and width of Avenida Paulista, with six people per square meter. The result: a maximum presence of 806,400 people.
The concentration was not only on Paulista. In reality, the parade also occupied Consolação Street. For Folha, it extended 3.2 kilometers. But that did not guarantee 3.5 million people.
The promoters spoke of adding up the public circulating and spilling out of the route but did not use the scientific method. It is understandable that they push their numbers. It was a mistake for Folha to accept them.
The director of Datafolha, Maura Paulino, confirmed the reader's conclusions. As for the number of people, he said: "I can only confirm it with certainty if they used our method." Datafolha's measurements were used from 1985 to 2000.
The newsroom pointed out that it credited the organizers for the projection. It said the eyewitness accounts of reporters and the comparison of photos "seemed to confirm that the 2007 event was the biggest."
In other words: it dispensed with procedures laid out in the stylebook. Why did Folha give those up? The newsroom responded: "Because the costs of measurement are much higher... Such investment is only justified when the precision of estimates is shown to be indispensable for the evaluation of the journalistic importance of the event."
So that was the case of the parade, with worldwide repercussions. The newspaper should resort to Datafolha again to measure crowds. In a story in 1989, Folha called other calculations a "guess-meter." Can we be assured that it is not reporting guesswork now?
Errors in the series about Lamarca
Folha committed a series of errors in its coverage on Thursday and Friday about the promotion to colonel given to Carlos Lamarca (1937-71) by the Justice Ministry's Amnesty Commission.
The newspaper asserted that Lamarca, one of the best-known leftist militants during the military dictatorship (1964-85), "died as a captain" in 1971 in Bahia state.
It was not like that: deserting the military in 1969 on his own initiative, the then-captain gave up membership in the armed forces. He was not an officer when he died, but rather a former soldier.
The newspaper said that in 1969 "Lamarca and his companions stole the safe of former São Paulo Gov. Adhemar de Barros." That was wrong: the former captain did not participate in the assault.
More unfortunate was the assertion, without a margin of doubt, that "to not be jailed" the revolutionary Iara Iavelberg "killed herself" in 1972.
The correct date is 1971, but the essential mistake was that Folha associated itself with a controversial version (there is suspicion, also unproved, that she was assassinated by security officials).
Recently, the remains of Lamarca's companion were taken from the suicide wing at the Jewish cemetery where they had been buried and transferred to another sector.
An editorial on Friday called it a grave error: "The death (of Lamarca) in combat - as it ended up happening almost 36 years ago in the interior of Bahia - is a natural risk for those who choose to take up arms."
By reporting it that way, Folha relied on the version of the military regime. In 1996, the government concluded that the guerrilla was assassinated when - malnourished, sick and exhausted - he was not strong enough to resist. In that case it would not be combat, but homicide instead of possible imprisonment. That is what the press reported 11 years ago.
Readers are divided about Folha's condemnation and promotion to colonel. Those who criticized the newspaper protested use of the term "terrorist" to describe Lamarca. However, Carlos Marighella (1911-69), one of the leaders of the armed struggle, is called a guerrilla and terrorist.
It is the right of the newspaper to give opinions. But it is recommended to be done transparently. Folha should be rigorous in narrating history, without reporting stories that will be overturned or those needing proof.

Ok, so me and my friend Gus constantly argue over this. We decided to write a 200-word argument about Nolan. Gus says No, I say yes.
I believe Christopher Nolan is one of the greatest directors of our generation, better even than Steven Spielberg, and this is why. After a good start to his career with Following, he went beyond what any other director would attempt for their second film with Memento. I do admit it took me a good 2-3 viewings to figure it out as the film is backwards but it is a truly great achievement. His other films including, Insomnia, The prestige, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and Inception are all very cinematic and all have solid stories, which some films lack. And no matter how long the film, it never gets boring because it has such a good story and good actors to carry it along. He is very skilled at cinematography and co-writes his films with brother Jonathan Nolan and together they write massive films. He doesn't like to use CGI, which he purposely avoided when making Batman Begins and did most of it practical; the CGI that he does use though is fantastic, unlike films such as Mega Piranha. He has collaborated with composer Hanz Zimmer for his last three films, which makes the film 10 times better already in my opinion. And I think that the score to all of his films help describe the mood of the films, especially in Inception. A great skill that Nolan has is the use of non-linear timelines, for example, Memento and The Prestige, where the films aren't necessarily in the right order, but because of Nolan's talent, you don't get confused at what's going on. He sometimes uses hard cuts when transitioning to the next scene which you can see in both Batman films and Inception. I truly hope Christopher and Jonathan Nolan continue to write amazing films and although he is not directing, I am looking forward the new Superman film which the Nolan brothers are writing. And while the new Batman film may not have the most imaginative name (The Dark Knight Rises), I still cannot wait to see it!

I love a Christmas break where you have time to relax and spend time with the people you love. Being able to sleep in and not have to worry about going to school or homework for a while is a break in its own. Sometimes a quick break is all you need to get refreshed on something. It is so easy to become burnt out on something you do everyday. A break and a relook on how you are preforming, make sure you are doing the best you can, and being the best you can be for the people around you. Whether you are at school, work, or at home, you need to think about how you act or treat the people around you because without noticing you might be treating someone very badly, and hurting there feelings. I guess my key point in all of this is to be aware of yourself, and be aware of others. It's more important than you may think.
I hope everyone had a great Christmas Break, and a Happy New Year! Bring on 2010!!!!

Tom Cruise Wants 10 Kids!
The actor also talked about sharing the parenting of his kids with ex-wife Nicole Kidman.
In an exclusive interview, actor Tom Cruise told the Sun, "I want ten children. I love kids. I feel really fortunate to have the teenagers and a two and a half-year-old. It's a great dynamic."
He explains his strong connection to fatherhood may be a reaction to his father leaving his mother when he was twelve and he wants to different.
Cruise talks about ex-wife Nicole Kidman too. "Nic and I are very committed and successful in sharing the parenting."
I find Tom's comments on co-parenting with Nicole ring rather falsely. He decided what religion they must practice and where they live. Nicole doesn't get nearly the time with them that Tom's family does. I'm sure he cares about them but everything always seems to be on his terms. That's what I see. Listen to what Nicole says and you can hear her heart aching at times. I find her classy in that she hasn't actually spilled nay beans on this situation.
Katie/Kate looks to worn out to have anymore kids. She looks so rough on all the pictures I see of her!
katie does look worn out in alot of pics i see of her. as cute as suri is;& she is adorable; i dont wanna see 12 scientoligists running around- no!
You need to take part in a contest for among the best blogs on the web. I'll suggest this web site!


text: I'd suggest unfollowing a few people if you find it annoying. People come on tumblr to express their feelings, and I think they should be able to do that as much as they like for as long as they'd like. People dying isn't annoying, it's heart-breaking. Jennifer could have died that night, too. Of course she'd be sad. People that were there to see her band died, and that's not just something you get over even in a few months. I don't know.

CIRASCOPE Profile: GEORGE DEMET
Half a Century In Food Service
by Carole Newcomer
"Reading is my one hobby," said CIRA member George DeMet. "Until recently, I read until late every night-usually until two or three a.m. History books or historical novels are my preference, and I've probably read more biographies than anything else.
"It's inspiring to read the biography of a great person," he continued. "You begin to compare yourself to the person you're reading about, and you realize how little of your own potential you are actually using."
Among the men whose lives have inspired DeMet are British Prime Ministers, Benjamin Disraeli and Winston Churchill. The American whom DeMet admires the most is Woodrow Wilson.
However, when CIRASCOPE approached George DeMet about writing his profile, the restaurateur was hesitant. "I don't think I'm qualified," he modestly commented. Yet these are some of the inspirational aspects of DeMet's life and career which our interview uncovered.
"At 80 years of age, DeMet spends a full day at his 175 seat Chicago loop restaurant five days a week. His career in food service goes back to 1916 when his family's main business was candy stores with soda fountains. It has progressed through all the advances of the interim years-the installation of exhaust systems so that cooking could be done on the premises, the invasion of women into the food service market which had originally catered to men through saloon type operations, and the June, 187% introduction of a myriad of food products and food preparation equipment to make large volume feeding possible. "Our menu has never really changed throughout those years, but we have continually adopted new products to produce it." In his own operations DeMet never served a steak and never served liquor, yet his chain at one time numbered 12 units, and his business has always been strong. "A good restaurant in a big office building is never empty," he claims, and his own restaurant proves it.
His memories are priceless. His experiences are such that few in the industry could claim to have shared them. And his career is proof of what an intelligent man who is dedicated to his work can do.
DeMet went into the food service field after short flirtations with other careers. He had entered medical school in Montpelier, France, when his brother in Minneapolis sent for him to join the family in the United States. When he arrived, he entered the University of Minnesota and became interested in law, but he was lured to Chicago and a share in the family business before he completed his studies.
DeMet was born in Niata, Greece, in November of 1891. His father died when George was 12, leaving a wife and four sons. George attended primary and secondary schools in Athens, then enrolled in business school to learn languages. The business schools specialized in these as well as teaching business skills.
"I had just enrolled in Montpelier University when my older brother Nicholas, sent for me, said Demet." He had opened a candy store in Minneapolis, Minnesota, but he was having trouble getting the help he needed. I arrived in New York City on my nineteenth birthday and headed immediately for Minneapolis."
DeMet entered the University of Minnesota where the course of study encouraged an interest in a law career, and he worked with his brother in his spare time. When a fire destroyed the store, the brothers didn't want to rebuild, so they joined their cousin in his candy store business in Chicago.
"Our cousin had two operations when he and my brother became partners," said DeMet. "They soon bought two more operations. The stores were called Johnson's Candy Stores, and they were located on Clark Street and on Madison, between Clark and State."
According to DeMet the soda fountains attracted the women as customers in these operations. In those days women were usually not expected to dine out in public restaurants unescorted, but the candy stores were acceptable places for them to be. Serving women opened up a whole new field for the food service industry.
"We began offering sandwiches at our soda fountain," said DeMet. "George Bay of Bay's English Muffin Company approached us with the idea. He said he would make the sandwiches for us for six cents, and we could sell them for a dime. We thought it was a joke, but we bought 10 to try it out, and we sold them."
One time in 1916, when Chicago was planning a Preparedness Parade to build up public spirit for the war effort, DeMet decided to order 50 sandwiches since so many people would be in the loop for the parade.
"We had so much of a crowd that day that the people couldn't get into the shop," said DeMet. "I ate four of the sandwiches and threw the rest away. But before long we were selling as many as 1,000 to 1,5000 sandwiches a day."
Later the restaurant also bought cakes and pies which were baked by two sisters.
"Since there were no ducts in the restaurants, there was no place for exhaust fumes to go, and we couldn't cook on the premises," DeMet explained. "When we expanded our service and started serving more food, we had to prepare it in a commissary and deliver it to the stores."
By 1918 all four brothers were involved in the business, but in that year, DeMet and his two younger brothers, James and John went into the service. DeMet served in the Army in one of two regiments assigned to Siberia.
"Our mission was to protect the Czechoslovakians who were traveling through the area after the break-up of the Austro-Hungarian Empire," DeMet explained. "But there wasn't much for us to do in reality. The longer we stayed there, the more we got into trouble, so we spent a lot of time in the guardhouse. We stayed a whole year after the armistice was signed.
"When I returned to the United States I was sent to Fort Dodge, Iowa, for discharge," he continued. "Even after being in Siberia, that was one of the coldest places I have ever experienced."
Things had changed in the food service business while DeMet was away. Walgreen had opened his first store in the loop in 1918 making the 20 cent chocolate malted a popular item. The DeMet family's Johnson's Candy Stores had opened a commissary for the preparation of sandwiches, pies, cakes and sweet rolls. They purchased ice cream for their operations and did a big business at the soda fountain. But the main business was still making and selling candy, and in that area, the operation gained some notoriety. A salesman offering the raw materials for candy making came into the commissary's dipping room one day and showed a candy from New York to one of the dippers named Minnie. "It looks like a turtle," Minnie told him, and soon Johnson's Candy Company was making the same kind of candy and selling it under the name "Turtles."
"Pecans dipped in chocolate were commonly made at the time, but we had a patent on the name, so we were the only ones who could use it," said DeMet. "It wasn't very significant until the second world war when the candy became very popular and the name caught on with the public."
The 1920's brought changes to the loop that affected the food service business. Prior to that time, Randolph had not been a busy street, but in the early 20's new movie theaters began opening on that thoroughfare.
"They were quite the thing when they opened," said DeMet. "People lined up outside every night to attend them. We enlarged our store on Randolph Street in 1920. We had a second floor which wasn't being used, so we opened a grill up there with a full kitchen, where we went into the 'preparation of such things as soups and roasts."
In 1923, the stores dropped the Johnson name and assumed the name DeMet's. In the same year, the brothers opened their first restaurant in an office building. Throughout the 1920's it was followed by several others ÔÇô in the Garland Building, the Banker's Building, the Board of Trade, the 1 North LaSalle Building. Eventually the DeMet chain numbered 12.
DeMet was always in the forefront of the family's business expansion.
"I was never in the kitchen," said DeMet. "I used to handIe the advertisers and deaI with the architects and contractors. I also handled employment. My youngest brother, John, ruled in the kitchen. To me, advertising was a fascination, and J found it exciting to deal with the contractors."
In 1935 the family split, with the four brothers keeping the restaurants and the cousins taking the candy stores and candy factory. The candy company has since been sold and the trade name, Turtles, assumed by a Canadian firm.
"Two of my brothers, John and Nicholas, retired in 1945, and James and I ran the operations alone." said DeMet. Neither of the brothers had married during the early part of their careers, but in 1940, when George was 49, he met and married Marilyn Pickett. She was then 21 years old and was working in DeMet's as a hostess.
"When you're in business, you never seem to have time to think about marriage," said DeMet. "Something keeps making you postpone it. Once you pass age 35 or 40, you aren't likely to change your life style much either."
But at age 49, DeMet changed enough to get married, and in the last three decades he has raised a family of five; Mary Lu is 28 and married, Kathy is 27, Judy is 25, George is 24 and Marilyn is 17. Mrs. DeMet was not involved in the restaurants until three years ago when DeMet's brother James died.
"Now my wife is devoted to the business," said DeMet. "She writes the menu, orders the food, supervises the women and boys and pays the bills."
DeMet began selling his restaurants in the late 40's until now he has just one operation left with a 109 seat dining room facing LaSalle Street and a 64 seat dining room facing Wells. Business hours are 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. According to DeMet, business is best at breakfast, but due to the location in an office building, there is a uniformity throughout the day.
"We still have a predominately women's trade," said DeMet. "Our menu is much the same as it always was. We have adopted new products, but never really changed the menu. Chicken salad is still a big item with us, and we probably sell more than anyone else in town."
According to DeMet, the rules for success in business haven't changed throughout the years either. "Business depends on the management," he said, "and on management's ability to carry their tradition of honesty and good service to their employees."
DeMet has worked with the Chicago & Illinois Restaurant Association for many years, serving a three year term as a director and a one year term as vice president. He has also been chairman of the CIRA's loop committee.
DeMet's pace and energy are amazing in a man who has reached 80 years of age. He is at the restaurant from opening to closing every day. That factor alone makes his biography an inspiration to men who, at half his age have only half of his enthusiasm.

Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit OEM
Portable Hard Drive Problem
I bought a WD Elements 500gb portable hard drive to backup my pc and to store stuff on there.
When i plugged it in to my windows 7 pc it was all fine at first and detected the drivers etc. that it needed and i was able to remove it, but when i plugged it back in the pc thought it was a local disk (not a usb mass storage device like my vista pc) and put the recycle bin system file on it and i was unable to remove it. Aso, i can only reformat it to exfat or NTFS.
Is there a way i can stop windows 7 putting on those system files and allow me to remove it without having to boot into vista? If i delete the system files from it when i restart the pc it puts them all back on.

Items you'll need — and stuff she'll want — for the first day of school.
A backpack Look for something durable, water-resistant, easy to open and close, and comfortable (don't saddle your grade-schooler with a backpack designed to lug high school history books, for instance). A backpack adorned with faddish characters won't age as well as a generic pack in your child's favorite color. A safety reminder: Don't emblazon your child's name on her backpack, where every stranger can see it, but do be sure to include a nametag of some kind inside.
A lunchbox or bag Make sure it's water-resistant, easy to open and close, and roomy enough to fit a drink, a sandwich, and small containers for fruit and other snacks. If you buy a thermos, keep in mind that wide-mouthed, insulated stainless steel bottles are a better choice than glass-lined (and breakable) models.
Lunch supplies Stock up on individual serving sizes of healthy lunch foods and snacks, such as unsweetened apple sauce, mini raisin boxes, string cheese, and 100 percent juice boxes. And don't forget to have on hand plenty of sandwich bags, small plastic containers, and aluminum foil. Even if your child will bring lunch every day, consider including some dessert money once a week so she doesn't feel left out when her friends dine on cafeteria fare.
A new outfit or two New clothes make going to school an event. Don't forget to check last year's rain boots and slicker for fit, and buy new ones if you need to.
Project supplies Homework may become an increasing fact of life this year, and your child will probably be asked to do a few projects (with your assistance, of course). So be sure to stock up on pencils, paper, scissors, and other school supply essentials.
A diary or blank-book journal Having her very own journal, plus fresh pens and pencils, will not only make your grade-schooler feel very grown up, it'll also encourage writing, drawing, and reading.

Kolstad's family appealed for blood donations on his CaringBridge website, saying it's an opportunity for the community to show its support for Kolstad and to help others in need of blood transfusions.
Kolstad was hurt May 11 in a confrontation in downtown Mankato that included former Minnesota Gophers quarterback Philip Nelson. Kolstad remained in critical condition Monday evening.
The American Red Cross will hold the blood drive at the National Guard Training and Community Center in Mankato, from 12:30 to 5:30 p.m.

Medications and Supplements for Dogs with Arthritis
Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs
These are anti-inflammatory medications, but they do not repair or heal cartilage. Ideally, they would be used along with supplements and given with food. These do provide rapid relief from pain.
A few NSAIDs have chondroprotective characteristics, which means they protect against the breakdown of cartilage. Others, such as aspirin, actually destroy cartilage in the dosage required for pain relief. This is one reason why aspirin is used less frequently for treating osteoarthritis.
Recommended Related to Dogs
Teaching Dogs Not to Pull on Leash
Dogs have to be taught to walk nicely on leash. They're not born knowing that they shouldn't pull ahead or lag behind. Teaching leash manners can be challenging because dogs move faster than us and are excited about exploring outdoors. Leashes constrain their natural behaviors and movements. Some dogs are determined to run around as fast as they possibly can. Other dogs want to stop, sniff and urinate on anything and everything in their paths. To teach your dog to walk without pulling, it's critical...
Read the Teaching Dogs Not to Pull on Leash article > >
The NSAIDs most often recommended are prescription medications. Newer medications have been developed that offer significant advantages over aspirin and the older NSAIDs. Rimadyl (carprofen) is an excellent drug with a low incidence of gastrointestinal side effects that has proven itself over time. It must be given daily. Rimadyl provides good pain relief and seems to slow the arthritic process. There are no detrimental effects on cartilage. Labrador Retrievers, and possibly a few other breeds, may show a higher predisposition for liver toxicity with Rimadyl. Etogesic (etodolac) is another newer NSAID. It requires only one dose a day. This drug may prove as effective as Rimadyl. These drugs are available through your veterinarian by prescription. Note that many over-the-counter NSAIDs used for pain control in people are dangerous when given to dogs. Do not use any drugs without veterinary approval, and never use more than one NSAID at the same time.
Due to potential serious side effects, dogs on these drugs should have blood work first to assess liver and kidneys. The drugs may prolong bleeding times and interfere with clotting, and have the potential to cause life-threatening liver and kidney problems and gastrointestinal ulcerations. Nausea and vomiting may be the first indication of trouble. Blood work should be rechecked every six months, or sooner if there are problems. These drugs should not be combined or given with steroids.
The most common side effect is GI bleeding. This can be difficult to diagnose and quite extensive before signs become apparent. Misoprostol (Cytotec) is a drug that prevents ulceration and helps heal ulcers caused by NSAIDs. Sulcrafate (Carafate) is another drug that protects against mucosal damage. Your veterinarian may prescribe one of these stomach protectants if your dog is taking an NSAID for chronic arthritis.
Oral glucocorticoids (corticosteroids) are used for their anti-inflammatory effects. Low dosages appear to protect cartilage, while high dosages (those needed to relieve pain) destroy cartilage. Future formulations may have better protective effects and a wider margin of safety.
Unfortunately, dogs are unusually sensitive to the adverse effects of both the NSAIDs and glucocorticoids. Glucocorticoids are best used for short periods in dogs with osteoarthritis who have failed to respond to NSAIDs. Long-term therapy should be reserved for dogs with immune-mediated arthritis.
Steroids are regarded as highly dangerous medications with many side effects. These can range from interfering with cartilage repair to causing increased drinking and eating (with the associated increased elimination). Long-term use can lead to liver and adrenal problems. Still, steroids can provide quick relief for many conditions, and for immune problems they may be the drug of choice. They should not be combined with any of the NSAIDs.

Sweetheart Beaded Lace Trumpet Gown Style CRL277 188 190
Amaze!! This dress truly made my wedding day the best day of my life! I felt amaze and everyone of my guests was complimenting me!! Truly classic and elegant you cannot go wrong with this dress!! My husband loved the choice as well!! Make sure to enjoy your day and take the time to breathe and enjoy!! This time will only happen once in your life!! August 27, 2011
Gorgeous and 'Comfy!' I'm almost 5' tall and this dress helped elongate my body. Also, I have no hips, so the dress helped made me look like I have curves. The quality of the dress is exceptional and you just feel like a million bucks in it! It was also nice that I was able to easily maneuver around with it on! August 17, 2011
Magical Gown! I have always loved all things wedding! But, when it was my turn to shop for a gown I was all nerves! After careful review of every bridal mag ever printed... I felt the gowns advertised were TOO much. Poofy, gaudy, and over the top. Because, I am a curvy gal I wanted a dress that wouldn't accentuate my voluptuousNESS. I did know I wanted sweetheart, and lace. I wasn't sure of the silhouette but was thinking sheath would call the least attention to my curves. I was WRONG! My consultant at DB pulled 3 sweetheart, sheath gowns and my hips (that don't lie) seemed bigger. Then... she handed me this gown. She said "It's sweetheart, lace, but its a mermaid gown." I was skeptical because as I said earlier I didn't want to call attention to the curves. When I put it on I felt like a sexy, sweet, romantic, beautiful bride! My curves were curvalicious! I tried on 2 others but couldn't stop thinking about how great my figure looked in this gown. I put it on a second time and cried. I wore it for my destination wedding and my husband was in tears. He couldn't take his eyes off of me. Moral of the story... EMBRACE THE CURVES! I recommend this dress to women of all shapes and sizes. It is absolutely MAGIC! August 3, 2011
Not What I Expected - MORE! Okay, I went into David's Bridal with my Mother-In-Law and my Sister-In-Law thinking I wanted a VERY simple dress. I tried on a couple and knew nope nope and nope. The chicky who was helping me pulled this one and it was a 6 - haha, I am not a size 6. I am curvy with a little waist and a big booty. I squeezed into it and when I came out of the dressing room my two gals literally gasped. I was able to try on a size 10 and it was pretty funny - the girl next to me, her mother wanted her to try on the dress. It was funny because people would walk by and STARE at me in this dress. I have bought it along with the cathedral length veil. I will have a vow renewal with my hubby on our one year anniversary so we can celebrate our love with friends and family. Can't wait for his jaw to drop because I know he will like my figure in it! July 26, 2011

Wow. That's really, really awesome.
Really awesome. Extended to raids too, eventually, will be *fantastic* though I REALLY hope you can have a better selection system.
For example, a "select all" button; the ability to effectively LFG all heroics EXCEPT ones you're saved for. In fact, one that automatically disables entering LFG for instances you're saved for.
It's annoying when you've done one or two heroics, and just want to get into some other random one but don't care which.
This, though... really, it's outstanding. If they do go ahead and allow cross-server chat/friends lists too? zomg. I have so many friends on so many servers, being able to chat and instance with them? It would be fantastic, we'd get the benefits of a huge single-shard server like Eve without the horrible disadvantages (crushing, mindblowing lag if too many people are in the same place at the same time).
Imagine, if they extended it to Wintergrasp? Brought in cross-server folks to get everyone who queued on *any* server into the battle? Excess people who couldn't get in on their server, able to bounce to another to fill empty space?

Religion and Politics must not go hand in hand
Published by MartinVarsavsky.net in Education with No Comments
I used to think Israel was different from its neighbors, but lately less and less so. My religion is better than yours is no formula for peace in the region. As a secular Jew I would feel so uncomfortable if I lived in Israel with a government who makes comments like this.
It is also understandable how Europe, which is mostly secular, feels alienated from Israel now and USA which is mostly religious, identifies with the country. Israelis like to say that Europe is just anti semitic but while some of that is true, especially Spain (google "es dificil ser judío en España") what is also true is that in Europe no politician speaks about God in general and least of all as if God liked Jews and not Muslims. Personally I think there is a very low probability that God exists but even if it did there is a proportionate lower probability that it belonged to any religion. I think that God in itself is an extremely unlikely entity but it did exist what would be the link between God and one particular religion? To me God inside a religion is a flag that some carry to do good but most carry as a symbol of their own tribe against others. In many cases God inside a religion is used to justify murder and that makes religion alien to me.
Long are the days of Israel being led by agnostics or atheists like Golda Meir who when asked if she believed in God she said. I believe in the Jewish people and the Jewish people believe in God. Now Israel is being led by people who think God is on their side. Pretty dangerous.

Some thoughts on Christmas from a non religious Jew
Published by MartinVarsavsky.net in MV with No Comments
Little kids want to believe. Teenagers don't want to believe. We are Jewish but we are not religious. I am glad we aren't, especially for the upbringing of my 5 children.
If we had been religious Jews I could not have dressed as Santa and brought gifts to my kids at a young age. I would have missed their faces of delight, and their smiles when they knew it was me, but pretended not to know. I can understand Jews refusal to celebrate Christmas because of Jesus who said he was God and we did not believe him. I can side with anyone who refuses to believe that a certain person is God. The whole story of Jesus is very alien to Jews and to many Europeans who have abandoned religion in the last decades, especially in Spain and Italy. But most religious Jews fail to realize that in many countries Jesus has lost its prominence to Santa a much simpler and easier to like character. Yes I know Santa is also about consumerism and I do feel sorry for the parents who can't buy toys for their kids (my kids know this and we donate toys for them). And the world sucks in many ways. But you have to agree with me that there is something beautifully simple for young kids about a man who comes from the North Pole with lots of gifts. Especially if they have been good kids ;).
And later on, with my older kids, not being religious spared me of trying to convince them of the literal interpretation of the Bible. A struggle that many still go through, especially in USA the only developed country in which most people are still religious. This would have been painful for me, as the Bible has so many absurdities in it that I would have been unable to defend it as true. I am so glad I did not have to tell my kids that we believe in all the absurdities of the Bible "because we have faith". Starting with the universe being but a few thousand years old most of what I read in the Bible is of no scientific value and what is even worse, frequently of dubious ethical value.
During the Jewish holidays I have manage to explain to my kids that we celebrate because we are part of the Jewish people who share a common heritage as a people not only as a religion. We celebrate as many of my non religious Christian friends celebrate, as a tradition not as a literal belief. I also explain that most of the founders of the State of Israel were not religious and that most of the achievements of the Jewish people are way outside the realm of religion, mostly in literature, entrepreneurship and science. I frequently like to tell the story of Golda Meir, one of the founders of Israel who was an atheist and when asked if she believed in God she answered wisely "I believe in the Jewish people and the Jewish people believe in God". In our home there are only two kinds of answers to any question a child may pose: the most likely to be true answer and as frequently, the I don't know answer. I don't know feels better than religion to me.
So today, right here in St Barts in our sailboat, I will dress as Santa again, this time for our baby and 5 year old. I can't wait to see how happy they will be. And yes, they are also getting their Chanukah gifts. We celebrate all that there is to celebrate. And we are happy this way.

Nationalism and religion
Published by MartinVarsavsky.net in Religion with No Comments
Nationalism and religion have a lot in common. Yet nationalists and religious people will quickly deny this. But both nationalism and religion are about tribal rituals, members and not members, ours vs theirs, inclusion vs exclusion. A gene pool vs a non gene pool. I know this. I am Jewish but I am not religious, still I am a "member of the tribe".
Religion and God most likely have nothing in common. This is because most likely God does not exist and should something like God exist it is extremely unlikely that somehow this God would belong to a single religion and not other. Religion, which is a form of nationalism, which is a form of tribalism.
Here's an article that I wrote about what happens when a country gives up religion as Spain mostly did.

(Angioedema; Urticaria)
© 2011 Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Hives are small, itchy, red swellings on the skin. The swelling occurs singularly or in clusters. Hives tend to fade after a few hours, but new ones can appear. Most cases go away within a few days. However, some last a few weeks or longer.
Hives are often caused when the body releases a chemical called histamine. Histamine is released during an allergic reaction. Many people, though, get hives without being exposed to something they are allergic to.
While the cause is unknown in some cases, these factors may cause hives:
- Foods
, most commonly:
- Eggs
- Shellfish
- Nuts
- Chocolate
- Fish
- Tomatoes
- Fresh berries
- Milk
- Medicines
- Reaction to allergy shots (desensitization shots)
- Infections
- Insect bites or stings
- Latex
- Pressure
- Cold or heat
- Sunlight
- Thyroid disease ( hypothyroidism , hyperthyroidism )
- Pollen
- Stress
- Vasculitis (inflammation of the blood vessels)
Risk Factors
A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting hives. Tell your doctor if you have any of these:
- Exposure to an allergen (something that causes an allergic reaction)
- Exposure to an allergen that triggered hives in the past
Symptoms of hives can vary from mild-to-severe:
- Itchiness
- Redness
- Swelling
- Excessive swelling of the eyelids, lips, or genitals
- Burning
- Stinging
- Difficulty breathing or swallowing— Call 911 if you are having these symptoms.
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and do a physical exam. You may need to see a doctor who specializes in skin disorders (dermatologist) or allergies (allergist). The following tests will be done:
- Skin prick test —a tiny bit of an allergen is placed in your skin with a needle to see if the area becomes raised or irritated
- Skin biopsy —a small portion of abnormal skin is removed
- X-ray —a test that uses radiation to take a picture of structures inside the body, especially bones
- Blood tests
The best way to treat hives is to find and then avoid the cause.
If the cause can't be found, there are medicines to reduce symptoms or treat hives:
H1-blocking medicines like:
- Diphenhydramine (eg, Aler-Cap, Benadryl Allergy)
- Hydroxyzine (eg, Vistaril)
- Cyproheptadine
- Fexofenadine (eg, Allegra)
- Loratadine (eg, Claritin)
- Acrivastine (eg, Semprex)
- Cetirizine (eg, Zyrtec)
- Doxepin (eg, Prudoxin, Sinequan, Zonalon)
- Levocetirizine (eg, Xyzal)
H2 blocking medicines like:
- Cimetidine (eg, Tagamet HB)
- Ranitidine (eg, Zantac)
- Famotidine (eg, Pepcid)
- Leukotriene antagonists like Montelukast
- Oral steroid medications (eg, prednisone ) for hives resistant to other treatments
- Anti-inflammatory medicines
- Immunosuppressant medicines
- Ultraviolet light therapy
- Prescription epinephrine (adrenalin) injections for cases when swelling affects the airways
The best way to prevent hives is to avoid allergen that caused you to get hives in the past.
