They are similar, but terazosin has a wider spectrum for treating more conditions, but one is a selective alpha antagonist and the other is an alpha receptor antagonist.-
Meaning terazosin α-antagonists are pharmacological agents that act as antagonistsis (a type of receptor ligand or drug that does not provoke a biological response itself upon binding to a receptor, but blocks or dampens agonist-mediated responses) of α adrenergic receptors (α-adrenoceptors)
Terazosin is a selective alpha 1 antagonist used for treatment of symptoms of an enlarged prostate (BPH). It also acts to lower the blood pressure, and is therefore a drug of choice for men with hypertension and prostate enlargement.
It works by blocking the action of adrenaline on smooth muscle of the bladder and the blood vessel walls.
Alfuzosin Specific actions of the α1 receptor mainly involve smooth muscle contraction. It causes vasoconstriction in many blood vessels including those of the skin, gastrointestinal system, kidney (renal artery) and brain.-
Alfuzosin is an α1 receptor antagonist used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier to urinate.
Take care.-

Frozen: A Thriller (edition 2012)
by Daniel Powell
Work details
Frozen: A Thriller by Daniel Powell
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I did not realize this was a short story when I submitted for the opportunity to review it. I prefer full size books. (This did not affect my rating) In fact ... I thought it was pretty good for a short story. I found the plot to be VERY interesting. I would definitely have enjoyed a full size book with this plot. Unfortunately, some things seemed too unrealistic for me accept and enjoy the story. I think there was some huge potential for this story, but I feel it fell short.
Note: This book was free and given to me with the expectation that I would review. The content of my review was in no way influenced by this understanding. The book speaks for itself and my review would have been worded just this way even if I'd gone out and bought it.
Sheldon James was always late. When he and his family lived in Florida he was late and now, that they live in Colorado, nothing has changed. Speeding around a corner on a mountain road he comes up a Mercedes just sitting there. After some pretty fancy driving to avoid a total disaster, he climbs out and sees the owner of the Benz. Standing across the road watching him.
After screaming, ranging and yelling some more, Sheldon calms a bit and discovers he nearly took out his new neighbor's car. Although it WAS in the middle of the road. A one-way road, no less. He goes home and tells his family all about it and then the problems begin. His wife wants to meet her, the kids wonder if she has kids (she doesn't) and so goes one of the best thrillers I've read in quite a while.
It seems that Sheldon, while speeding in Florida had some issues that involve Vivian. She wants revenge and has spent over a year planning how to get it. She does a damn good job!
What a book! Don't plan on putting it down until you're finished because you won't be able to. Well done, Mr. Powell, well done!
This is a novella and can be read in one sitting, which will happen when you get into it. It starts out a little slow but then all of a sudden, things come to a head when they invite their new neighbor to dinner and she tells about her daughter being hit by a car. From then on, it's full speed ahead and it will keep you turning the pages. It's a little far-fetched, but then, if you have a revenge-seeking person driving the plot, who knows what could happen.
I received this ebook in exchange for an honest review.
This story is about a loving, happy family whose secure lives are shattered when Vivian Bowles enters their lives. An awful secret carried by Sheldon, known to nobody but Vivian, is revealed – and Vivian has come here for revenge. Unfortunately, Sheldon's wife and two children are part of Vivian's plan.
This isn't the most realistic book that I've ever read, but it was suspenseful, appropriately descriptive and drew me into the story. It's a dark novel – if you're looking for something heartwarming, this isn't the book. I thought the conclusion was fine, but not as a segue to a sequel (where Sheldon's wife is out to avenge Vivian), as I see the author has done.
There were a handful of typos, but not enough to detract from the book. I'm giving it four stars.
Please, if you give me a negative vote on my review, leave a comment and let me know why. I do try to write reviews that are helpful to those who read them who are considering purchasing the book and welcome the chance to improve them.
I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for agreeing to provide a fair and honest review.
A woman's hatred. A husband's guilt. A mother's anguish. Each of these emotions takes center stage in "Frozen: A Thriller." Mr. Powell is a fantastic storyteller and I couldn't put "Frozen" down. I read it from beginning to end in one sitting!

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0615591345, Paperback)Vivian Bowles has never been the same since losing her daughter to a hit-and-run accident. Her marriage died, her business crumbled, and she tumbled into a deep well of sorrow and despair. She sustained herself by channeling her grief into a singular mission: finding and punishing the person responsible for her daughter's death. Her quest for answers has taken her from Florida to Colorado, where she plans to teach Sheldon and Terri James a hard lesson in personal loss. Things are about to get very cold in Colorado… Frozen, a 20,000-word novella, is a gripping examination of endurance and obsession in the face of harrowing personal tragedy.

The Browns needed a dynamic pass rusher to usher in the attack 3-4 defense of Ray Horton, and Mingo has the athleticism to be a huge contributor in his scheme.View Analysis
(from Dallas) The 49ers lost Dashon Goldson as a free agent, and had a hole they had to fill at safety. Reid can deliver the big hits and also make big plays in coverage, much like Goldson did for them. They needed to move up, however, to get that talent.View Analysis
(from San Diego) The Chargers took Manti Te'o after trading with the Cardinals, but the latter team ends up with the better 3-4 inside linebacker. Minter has great range and is a natural cover man.View Analysis
With the Eagles turning to a 3-4, they need versatile tackle/end types. Logan's energy and relentless work will be welcome assets on Chip Kelly's first NFL defense.View Analysis
The Honey Badger finds a home as a potential impact return man and slot cover man for the Cardinals, joining ex-LSU ace Patrick Peterson. Mathieu will try to leave his baggage behind in the desert and just focus on making big plays.View Analysis
(Compensatory pick) Montgomery's stock too a hit because about questions about his size, smarts and effort that cut into the positive of being productive in the SEC. It's on Wade Phillips to get Montgomery's motor going again as a 3-4 part-timer.View Analysis
(from Oakland) An arrest just yesterday was expected to severely hurt his draft stock, but Simon still ends up as a Top 150 pick. His length and upside as a physical cornerback fits the Seahawks defense well.View Analysis
At times in 2012, Edwards was LSU's most consistent and impactful pass rusher, despite teammates Barkevious Mingo and Sam Montgomery being Top 100 picks. Good value at this point in the draft.View Analysis
After adding two running backs last year in the draft, the Seahawks doubled up this year with Christine Michael in the 2nd round and the physically built, powerful Ware here in the 6th.View Analysis

This was an excellent way to get over to Orkney and to visit several of the major sites. The tour was well orchestrated and we had wonderful weather ... awesome combination.
I can't review this trip as we were sent back to Inverness because of a truck accident which blocked the road On the coach the tour guide I can rate she was very informative and kept us up to speed what was happening. Cheers Tom Balshaw

The tour has been really beautiful, the palaces and the environment are amazing
I took my mum(aged 86 yrs young) on this trip as she had always wanted to go to Orkney, especially to see The Italian Chapel. The trip was excellent, very comfortable and our driver ,Alister McRoberts, was incredibly informative and funny too! The highlight for my mum though was the Italian Chapel and as I had forgotten to bring a camera with me, Alister very kindly took some pictures of my mum and me and e-mailed them to me. We now have a lasting reminder of our day out in Orkney. I have no hesitation in recommending this trip. Thank you all, especially Alister.
Tour was excellent. Guides were very helpful. It was thoroughly enjoyable. I will go again next year.
Great trip. We hit all the highlights and the bus drivers were super. We got great pictures and had adequate time to take them. I highly recommend the fresh scones at John O'Groats while you wait for the ferry.
Only suggestion is to make sure customers realize that entry to Skara Brae is extra. Fortunately we had purchased a Historic Scotland Pass at Stirling Castle.
Well Done!!!!!
We were delighted with the organisation, the comfort of the buses, the places of interest we visited on Orkney. the drivers and couriers on the buses to and from Inverness and the information we received then and the excellent driver/guide on Orkney-Alister.
We had friends from Iceland with us and we all thoroughly enjoyed the day.
We have talked a lot about it.
Thank you
First day of tour season, and everything was lovely, except I lost my e-tablet on the bus. We looked everywhere and could not find it, but miraculously I got an email a month later that it had been found on a bus and was at the station, so I got it back. The tour was great, the driver knowledgeable, the sights unending and outstanding. Would like to go back and stay a month.
great trip, well organised, loved Orkney and all the places we visited, would recommend trip
This was an excellent tour. I had thought it might be rushed and rather tiring but it wasn't. There was plenty of time to see the main places of interest and the guide was very informative. We were blessed with a lovely sunny day. Refreshments on the bus were welcome.
Great trip to Orkney. Tour guides especially the Orkney guide was excellent.
Fantastic value for money. Was a great day out. All guides on the bus trips were very informative. A wonderful place to visit and highly recommended. We were very lucky in that we had great weather for the day.
Amazing from start to finish!!!
Really good tour, driver and guide fantastic !

Teacher uses cookies and toothpicks to educate students about being an archeologist
PETERSBURG - Fourth graders at J.E.B. Stuart Elementary school were given the opportunity to take on the role of an archaeologist. Students had to first provide their teacher, Mrs. Williams, with facts about an archaeologist such as what they do, what type of tools they use and why they play a significant role in learning about the past. Once students shared their information with Mrs. Williams, she provided them with the site for their archaeological dig (M & M Cookies) and their tools (toothpicks).
Mrs. Williams shared with the students that as archaeologists they must work cautiously and carefully so they do not damage the artifacts that they find. The teacher then challenged her students to remove the M & M's from the cookies without breaking the cookie. Students could only use their tools (the toothpicks).
The students enjoyed the activity and the challenge of trying not to damage the "artifacts." Several students expressed that they are now interested in becoming archaeologists.

Steve Voake
Since his attempt to destroy human life had been thwarted four years ago, his rage had known no bounds. And now that Odoursin had Vahlzi beaten, his obsession with the destruction of humanity was total.
He wanted revenge.
Sam and Skipper are back. But the Aurobon they return to is vastly different from the one they left. Vahlzi is in ruins and all that remains of Firebrand's forces are scattered groups of resistance fighters. Odoursin now rules Aurobon, using his terrifying army to enslave the people and destroy all who defy him.
Enraged and grief-stricken, Sam and Skipper's only hope of fighting Odoursin lies in tracking down a powerful new weapon - a search that will take them beyond Aurobon and into a living nightmare. But their mission becomes heart-stoppingly urgent when they discover that Odoursin is once again plotting to destroy humankind - this time by using the President of the United States . . .

What price meet and two veg?
Last updated at 13:58, Thursday, 29 March 2012
Come Dine With Me is one of our favourite TV shows.
You know – the one where you cook a meal for a bunch of people you wouldn't dream of sitting next to without a very good reason... like getting your hands on a load of money.
The rules have changed ever-so slightly for a new version called Cam Dine With Me.
And this isn't just any meal, this is a meal where the Prime Minister invites lots of rich and powerful people into his home for some plain and simple grub.
These could be anyone, anyone at all – except that they usually just happen to be property tycoons, oil industry investors... you know the type.
And it just so happens that apart from being multi-millionaires, these people also contribute millions of pounds to the Conservative Party.
Just three guests alone are said to have handed over £11m for party funds.
Now it has been reported that by handing over these huge amounts of money and having dinner with Mr Cameron, these rich and powerful types expect something in return.
Some people have been suggesting that they could be benefiting from new policies, plans or rules introduced by the Government. Critics have pointed to the budget announcement of new government money for the oil industry and the changes to the planning rules announced this week. And of course, all these guests have benefited from the reduction of the top rate of income tax from 50p to 45p.
The problem is that these cosy meals involving rich supporters do leave the rest of us with a sour taste in our mouths. We can remember Tony Blair and the cash for peerages scandal and the cash for questions outrage during John Major's leadership.
The mere fact that it looks as though Cameron's guests are benefiting from their cosy relationship is bad enough in the public's eyes.
I'm sure the same thing goes on at Ed Miliband's house, we just haven't heard about it yet.
The big difference is that David Cameron isn't just a party leader, he's the PM and shouldn't be in this position.
As any fan of Come Dine with Me realises, presentation is everything and this looks like a dog's dinner.
Just one other item to mention in the bonfire of cock-ups created out of nothing by the Government: we now live in a country where caviar and foie gras is untaxed, but a hot pasty is...

Andy Murray Returns To Tokyo!
Tokyo, Japan
by Tournament Staff|
Andy Murray, who captured the tournament title last year by defeating Rafael Nadal (ESP), allowing only four points in the final set, will play at the Rakuten Open 2012.
He also won the doubles title with his brother, Jamie Murray, and became the first player to win both singles and doubles events since Stephan Edberg in 1991.
He won three titles in a row by claming another title at the Tour event in Shanghai next week, where he beat Kei Nishikori in the semifinals, having won in Bangkok a week before Tokyo.
His showing continues to be strong in 2012. He won in Brisbane in January, his 22nd ATP World Tour title. At the Australian Open, he advanced to the semifinals by defeating Nishikori, but lost to Novak Djokovic (SRB) 3-6, 6-3, 7-6(4), 1-6, 5-7.
At the tournament in Dubai in February, he revenged a defeat on Djokovic but finished in second. In the event in Miami, he ended up as the runner-up when he lost to Djokovic in the finals.
Out of his 22 trophies, 19 are won on hard courts. We cannot take our eyes off Murray as he plays on the hard court in the Rakuten Open 2012!

Giving birth in America is costlier but not safer
The US by far leads the world in maternity expenses even as new mothers and babies die at alarming rates.
Citing data from the International Federation of Health Plans, the newspaper said the average price for a vaginal delivery in 2012 was $9,775, while a cesarean section cost $15,041. In Switzerland, which ranked second, those costs were $4,039 and $5,186, respectively.
Worse, these gigantic differences aren't translating into healthier mothers and babies.
"Despite its lavish spending," the paper noted, "the United States has one of the highest rates of both infant and maternal death among industrialized nations, although the fact that poor and uninsured women and those whose insurance does not cover childbirth have trouble getting or paying for prenatal care contributes to those figures."
Obstetricians in the U.S., who have among the highest malpractice insurance rates, aren't getting rich from this trend, the paper said. Less than 25% of birthing fees go to these doctors, many of whom charge flat rates.
Even women with normal pregnancies get more tests than they need. And about 30% of American women are induced with drugs or have C-sections, a rate far higher than doctors say is necessary and well in excess of the rest of the world, the report said.
Although the Obama administration's Affordable Care Act will enable 30 million more people to have insurance by the end of the decade, it isn't clear whether that coverage will meet the needs of those who buy it, The Washington Post recently noted.
"Millions of Americans pay monthly premiums with the expectation that, should a horrible illness or accident occur, the insurance company will cover the majority of some pretty expensive hospital bills," the paper said. "Some experts and health advocates have begun to question whether the health-care law can deliver on that promise."
As it is now, many people with jobs don't have maternity coverage, which prompts them watch every penny they spend to bring their children into the world. That's one reason more than 60% of all personal bankruptcies are tied to medical costs.
Giving birth to a baby shouldn't also mean giving birth to a bankruptcy.

To all the other reviewers: Why are you all compaining about the fat content? It's a milkshake - it's going to be fattening unless you modify it. It is not meant to be eaten everyday! Just enjoy and stop complaining - or dont eat it! If you are going to try this and feel it needs extra flavor - try adding a little strawberry extract.
Annastasia Posted: 04/22/09
when you read the recipe you know it is really heavy with carbs and fats so why try it if you feel this way about the recipe. I think you just want to complain about a really good tasting smoothie, they are not known for being a low carb dessert.

BANGKOK, Thailand -- Burma's Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi is predicted to easily win parliament seat in Sunday's (April 1) by-election, amid expectations that Washington will respond by easing economic sanctions, but the polls also symbolize how far she has fallen.
Forty-five of 48 seats in parliament are to be contested on Sunday (April 1). The remaining three seats in Kachin state await a ceasefire between the military and ethnic Kachin rebels.
Several of Mrs. Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy (NLD) party candidates are also expected to win slots in the 664-seat bicameral national parliament.
Combined with other opposition politicians, however, Mrs. Suu Kyi and her allies will be little match against the regime.
Ranking military officers permanently occupy 25 percent of all chambers in parliament, and currently enjoy a 75 percent majority of the remaining seats through their pliant Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) parliamentarians.
In addition to the NLD and USDP, 15 other parties are competing in the by-elections.
Mrs. Suu Kyi is running from Kawhmu township, a constituency south of her hometown Rangoon, also known as Yangon, and could be building momentum for a nationwide election in 2015 when she will be 70.
Millions of voters hope Mrs. Suu Kyi and her party will be able to use their cluster of seats in parliament to rescue the country from its current destitution and possible civil war.
Some analysts, however, say Mrs. Suu Kyi has been reduced to a mere token who the regime no longer fears, and is intentionally being permitted to win a seat because her election is worth the lifting of U.S. sanctions.
"It is much more dangerous for President Thein Sein if Aung San Suu Kyi fails to win her seat," said Nicholas Farrelly on Wednesday (March 28) on his respected New Mandala website (http://asiapacific.anu.edu.au/newmandala/).
"Such an outcome would lead to inevitable cries of vote-rigging and could spark an uncontrollable backlash. It may even spell the end of the nascent democratizing project," Mr. Farrelly said.
Washington hopes her victory will be the first of many democratic changes, so the U.S. can increase its economic and political influence in the Buddhist-majority, former British colony.
During more than a decade of U.S., European Union and other international sanctions, two giants on Burma's borders -- China and India -- have been exploiting the notoriously corrupt country's oil, natural gas, timber, mines and other resources, selling weapons to its military, and extending the region's infrastructure to access Burma's strategic Indian Ocean coast.
The military has ruled the country since a 1962 coup and has meted out some of the world's worst human rights violations, including forced labor, extrajudicial killings, torture and imprisonment, according to London-based Amnesty International and New York's Human Rights Watch.
"In addition, there are U.S. laws that impose sanctions on Myanmar for unacceptable behavior linked to functional issues, such as the use of child soldiers, drug trafficking, human trafficking, money laundering, failure to protect religious freedom and violations of workers' rights," wrote Murray Hiebert at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and Internal Studies.
Mrs. Suu Kyi's campaigning has already enabled Burmese to enjoy greater media freedom, and help push the regime into freeing hundreds of political prisoners while loosening some other restrictions.
Burma's government-controlled media no longer barks out racist tracts railing against Mrs. Suu Kyi for being the widow of a Caucasian British citizen, and an "axe-handle" for the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency and others who allegedly use her as a wedge to seize the country.
"Media coverage of the elections is heavily titled toward the participation of the Myanmar democracy icon Mrs. Suu Kyi," said Bidhayak Das, who works for the Bangkok-based Asian Network for Free Elections (ANFREL), an election monitoring group.
In a 1990 nationwide election, Mrs. Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy party won 392 of the 492 contested seats in parliament, which should have allowed her to become prime minister.
But the military barred her from taking office and instead cocooned her under house arrest, on-and-off, for more than 15 years until her most recent release in November 2010.
She boycotted the next election in 2010 because its rules barred her from becoming prime minister after she illegally allowed an American, John Yettaw, to sleep in her villa unregistered for two nights.
Today, Mrs. Suu Kyi is frail icon, 66, and twice fell ill during her campaigning in March, vomiting and relying on an intravenous drip.
Burma's minority ethnic groups, meanwhile, have expressed uncertainty over their fate after the elections because several of them have been fighting guerrilla wars for greater autonomy or independence since the 1950s.
Mrs. Suu Kyi, and most of the military and political people ruling the country, are ethnic Burman who dominate the population with a 60 percent majority.
They have failed to quell the desire of the country's 40 percent minority Kachin, Karen, Shan, Wa, Chin, Mon and others who crave a federal-style system or independence for their valuable, resource-rich territories along Burma's borders with Thailand, Laos, China, India and Bangladesh.
Since June, 20,000 Kachin Independence Organization (KIO) guerrillas -- many of whom are Christian -- have battled against the regime's offensive in northern Burma, where more than 40,000 people have fled the fighting along China's mountainous southern border.
China wants to build a pipeline through Kachin state to extract natural gas from Burma's zone in the Indian Ocean.
"The suffering of Kachin people is the suffering of Myanmar people, and we all have to find a cure for these problems," Mrs. Suu Kyi said earlier this month during a campaign visit to Kachin state, though she has not offered any solution.
During World War II, the U.S. Office of Strategic Services -- predecessor of the CIA -- used 10,000 Kachin guerrillas as allies against Japan's forces which had invaded Burma partly with the help of Mrs. Suu Kyi's Japanese-trained father, Gen. Aung San.
After the war, countless Burmese fled during several decades of repression, but some are now returning to test the changes.
"Overwhelmed by the political reforms of the country, migrant Myanmar citizens are coming back home to serve the nation," President Thein Sein, who was installed by the 2010 election, said in a speech on Saturday (March 24).
"Their expertise, experiences and wisdom are priceless forces for us. We are keeping the door open for the remaining national brethren. Please come back! Cooperate with us for national development. Doors are always for you."
By staging the election and allowing other freedoms, the regime has risen to its most powerful position on the world stage, attracting politicians, businessmen and others from America, Europe and elsewhere.
Columbia University professor Joseph E. Stiglitz visited in 2009 and again last February and suggested "removing the sanctions that have now become an impediment to the country's transformation."
The sanctions include a ban on most international banking activity -- rendering credit cards and bank transfers useless.

Pzena Investment Management Inc. Stock Upgraded (PZN)
- PZN has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign.
- The gross profit margin for PZENA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT is rather high; currently it is at 50.00%. Regardless of PZN's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 5.10% trails the industry average.
- Despite the weak revenue results, PZN has outperformed against the industry average of 21.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 9.3%. The declining revenue appears to have seeped down to the company's bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- PZENA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT's earnings per share declined by 18.2% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has suffered a declining pattern of earnings per share over the past year. However, we anticipate this trend reversing over the coming year. During the past fiscal year, PZENA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT reported lower earnings of $0.28 versus $0.33 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.38 versus $0.28).
- Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. In comparison to the other companies in the Capital Markets industry and the overall market, PZENA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT's return on equity significantly exceeds that of the industry average and is above that of the S&P 500.

It almost sounds like something out of the movie "Dave," in which the accidental president enlists his accountant friend, Murray Blum, to help him figure out the federal budget.
During Tuesday's Washington Post-Bloomberg debate, Herman Cain, the former chief executive of Godfather's Pizza, named Rich Lowrie of Cleveland as "my lead economist" who helped develop Cain's signature "9-9-9" plan for overhauling the federal tax system. "He is an economist, and he has worked in the business of wealth creation most of his career," Cain said.
Actually, according to Lowrie's Linked-In profile, he has a bachelor's degree in accountancy from Case Western Reserve University, not economics. Lowrie, in an e-mail, said he did not consider himself an economist, just "senior economic advisor" to the Cain campaign. Donor information maintained by Opensecrets.org shows he has donated $1,500 to Cain in 2010 and 2011, but also contributed $2,300 to Mitt Romney in his first run for the presidency in 2007.
Okay, so Cain may have exaggerated the qualifications of his economic guru. But he has forcefully defended his '9-9-9' plan, both during Tuesday night's debate and on MSNBC's "Daily Rundown" on Wednesday. Many readers have asked us to examine the plan and explain it, so let's take it for a test drive.

Lariat Chain
Lariat Chain consists of a motor-driven bicycle-wheel rim mounted approximately 10 feet above the floor on a tripod with a continuous loop of light chain that fits over the rim. As the wheel turns, the chain runs with it. Left undisturbed, the chain loop revolves in a smooth and flowing manner. By tapping or touching the chain, beautiful standing waves and serpentine convolutions can be created along its circuitous flow.

Welcome to The Garden Smallholder blog.
My name's Karen and I'm the blog author. I'm a mother, gardener, allotmenteer, blogger and published photographer. I live in North Bedfordshire with Rich and our teenage children. Most days are spent in wellies, pottering around our rural village garden tending to the vegetable garden and chickens.
I also rent a full plot at our local allotments (April 2011) and I have just signed up to take on another plot (April 2014). I enjoy community gardening, the allotment way of life and meeting like-minded people.
Born and raised in London I had no access to a garden of my own. As a child I enjoyed planting seeds and flowers with my mum on our tiny council flat balcony and helped my grandad tend his small rose patch at the front of his ground floor flat. It wasn't really his to tend, but he kept it looking beautiful just the same. My interest in wildlife and gardening sparked during these early years, I was forever bringing home injured pigeons or hunting around for ladybirds, caterpillars and butterflies.
Ten years of my adult life was spent in Bristol raising our young family, we had a lovely house with a decent-sized garden and I fell totally in love with gardening and keeping chickens during that time. In 2008 we exchanged city life for 'The Good Life' and moved to a small rural village in Bedfordshire. Here we love collecting fresh eggs and picking seasonal food from our garden smallholding and allotment.
No air miles or nasty chemicals. Just us and the soil.

What about a talk show??
How cool would it be if Ms. MacLaine had her own talk show??
I know she doesn't like to travel much anymore but living in Santa Fe, I believe the show, either T.V. or radio, would have a strong following and could be accessed over the internet.
Ms. MacLaine, astrologically, your chart looks great to start and succeed in a venture such as this.
How about an american version of the Paul O'Grady Show which has entertained me for so long.
What I liked was he always brought one of his two dogs which made it quite entertaining--both made appearances but not at the same time.
A really cheerful progam full of laughter fun and games.
Some of his very famous guests had their own dogs in their laps while being interviewed.
Lauren Bacall and Stephanie Powers were wonderful and what a relaxing atmosphere.
I wonder if Terry could make an appearance with Shirley if she decides to venture into this venue.

W-9 Form
Definition of 'W-9 Form'
An IRS form, also known as "Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification", which is used by an individual defined as a "U.S. person" or a resident alien to verify his or her taxpayer identification number (TIN).
An entity that is required to file an information return with the IRS must obtain your correct TIN to report, for example, income paid to you, real estate transactions, mortgage interest you paid, etc. For example, companies that issue dividends use the W-9 form to verify a shareholder's TIN.
Investopedia explains 'W-9 Form'
If you are defined as a "foreign person" for federal tax purposes, you do not use the W-9 form. Rather, the IRS requires you to use the appropriate W-8 form.
Even though employees are legally required to supply certain personal information to their employers, an employee's privacy is protected by law. An employer that discloses an employee's personal information in any unauthorized way may be subjected to civil and criminal prosecution.

Is there a water polo anime?
Because there should defiantly be a water polo anime.
At official events and party's Desna and Prince/general Iroh always fight over who has to dance with the earth queen. Iroh wins most of the time by arguing that he can't dance (which he totally can) and ends up dancing with Eska while desna has to deal with the Earth Queen.
It really concerns me that Desnas head was INSIDE the ice pillar he got frozen in… Like Eska did that painful looking neck jolt but he's like completely iced…
Also, I like that she jumped back as well even though there was only a puller pushing desna into the air…
So Pietro has a Pink Floyd shirt…

In the Dungeon With Shridhar Swami
Hare Krishna!
Thank you very much prabhuji for putting this in print, it's amazing. When I read such cases I feel to become determined in KC whatever comes. We are forever thankful and obliged to all disciples of Srila Prabhupada esp those who underwent prosecutions and hard times. Even if we do a drop of what you all sacrificed and did for Srila Prabhupada, it would yield great spiritual results. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Comment Posted By Nirmala Krishna Das On 21.09.2009 @ 17:27
Hare Krishna
Please accept my humble obeisance
All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Actually saying I have no qualification whatsoever to comment on such issues. But as I was reading devotees' comments, I felt some inner realization which, with all your permission would like to pen down.
If we see more than 95% of devotees became devotees from reading HDG Srila Prabhupada's books. Even today it's continuing. When I read Srila Prabhupada's books I feel His presence. It's the same with everyone. I am sure. The sincere disciples of His Divine Grace gave their lives for this mission. Their goal was only to please Srila Prabhupada. And if there was any whimsical changes done on Gita or any Prabhupada's books, then if Srila Prabhupada was not pleased, am sure the books would have not given the same result. But we see it's giving tremendous results. This is Guru Parampara. If not connected and if the chain would have been broken then there would have been negative results.
I feel we should stick to Srila Prabhupada's instructions and follow sincerely keeping Krishna in centre. As Kali Yuga progresses, things are not going to be very palatable, so rather than worrying about petty things should focus more on our sadhana and please the Vaishnavas. Please forgive me, if I had committed any offence knowingly or unknowingly. Hare Krishna. Thank you.

"There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part! You can't even passively take part! And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels…upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop! And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!"

Rheumatoid Arthritis Health Center
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Diabetes
RA/Diabetes Connection: Can the Risk Be Lowered? continued...
In one study, people with RA who had ever taken hydroxychloroquine were 53% less likely to develop diabetes than their counterparts who had never taken it. In another study of patients with RA, researchers found that having ever taken hydroxychloroquine reduced the risk of diabetes by 38%. What's more, people with RA who took hydroxychloroquine for more than four years were 77% less likely to report a new diabetes diagnosis than those who never took it.
"This is a safe and inexpensive drug and it has been consistently shown to decrease the risk of diabetes in RA," says Bili, the author of the first study.
RA/Diabetes Connection: Making Informed Choices to Reduce the Risk
Does the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine in reducing diabetes risk mean all people with RA and risk factors for diabetes should take it?
"It is a reasonable choice," Bili says, "but it is a weaker treatment for RA. It may not achieve disease control." Other drugs are more effective when it comes to treating the pain and inflammation of RA. "But, says Bili, "for people with mild RA who have risk factors for diabetes, it might be reasonable to start treatment with hydroxychloroquine. If they have more severe RA, she tells WebMD, hydroxychloroquine could be taken in combination with another arthritis drug.
It's not clear why hydroxychloroquine is associated with lower diabetes risk among people with RA. It may allow the hormone insulin to remain in the body longer. This could improve insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance and prevent diabetes.
Solomon says that what is known now is that insulin resistance is elevated in RA, but certain RA drugs such as TNF blockers, hydroxychloroquine, and methotrexate may improve insulin sensitivity. "Studies show that TNF antagonists taken for a month or a year improve insulin resistance," Solomon says. "But we don't know if this will lead to reduced diabetes risk."
Many important questions remain about the link between diabetes and arthritis. "We don't know whether tighter control of RA will reduce the risk of diabetes," Solomon says. A study that looks at the effect of better RA control in reducing the risk of diabetes would, he says, "be a wonderful trial."
In the meantime, it's important to keep in mind that making healthy lifestyle choices involving exercise, diet, and not smoking is an important part of RA management. And those same choices are important in managing the risk of diabetes.
