Gave up!!,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Time Release (Memory) (Kindle Edition)
There are very few books I have given up on, but this was one of them. After nine chapters of abject boredom, I regret to say that I archived the thing, and have no intention of revisiting it.
The characterization is virtually non-existent so I felt absolutely nothing for any of the characters. The storyline was slow to unfold, unbelievable and, frankly, boring.
Sorry, but this was definitely not for me.

'Survivor' star Russell Hantz arrested in Louisiana
Russell Hantz of Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains was arrested early this morning in Lafayette, La. According to a spokesperson for the Lafayette Police Department, the reality TV star was taken into custody at 2 a.m., 15 minutes after an emergency call reported a physical confrontation near Justin Street. Hantz was charged with simple battery and released at 4:30 this morning. No bail was required, but he was given a misdemeanor summons and a court date scheduled for June 24. CBS declined to comment.
Arrest for 'Survivor' producer is imminent
Mexican authorities may be close to arresting the former Survivor producer accused of murdering his wife in Cancun, according to People.com via ABC News. Bruce Beresford-Redman, who was previously detained in Mexico during the investigation, is now closer to being arrested after authorities found inconsistencies in his account of events before and after the body of his wife, Monica, was found April 8. The couple's two children were recently placed under temporary guardianship of Beresford-Redman's parents.
'Survivor' producer's wife found dead, husband declared a suspect
The Associated Press reports that former Survivor producer Bruce Beresford-Redman is a suspect in his wife's death after he reported her missing in Cancun, Mexico, an anonymous Mexican official confirms. Beresford-Redman last worked on the CBS show in 2004. He also served as producer on MTV's Pimp My Ride and ABC's Crash Course.
Monica Beresford-Redman was found dead today (April 8 ) in a gutter at the Moon Palace resort where they were vacationing.
CBS is declining comment.

12 Reasons You Can't Stop Eating
When it comes to snacking, do you feel like once you pop, you can't stop? Your biology, habits, and surroundings may all be to blame.
2. You skip meals
Ditching breakfast or lunch can cause you to eat more at dinner, thanks to the hunger-stimulating hormone ghrelin. "There's nothing to stop the ghrelin from telling the brain you're hungry other than eating. So if you miss breakfast, that hormone is already running high in your bloodstream and it's hard to shut off at that point," explains Marjorie Nolan, RD, author of Overcoming Binge Eating for Dummies.

Does Experience Count

from, Kevin Allen of USA TODAY,
Playing at a high level at 42, Hasek might change the way the league views age in a goaltender. The NHL might be looking differently at many aspects of playoff goaltending. Coaches are certainly more open to the idea of switching goalies in the postseason, and there doesn't seem to be nearly as much fretting about the lack of playoff experience.
Of the 16 teams in playoff positions Sunday, five — the Tampa Bay Lightning (Marc Denis and Johan Holmqvist, Vancouver Canucks (Roberto Luongo), Atlanta Thrashers (Kari Lehtonen), Minnesota Wild (Niklas Backstrom) and Pittsburgh Penguins (Marc-Andre Fleury) — will use goaltenders who have never played a postseason game.

How Is This For A Sunday Morning
by Paul on 04/01/07 at 11:43 AM ET
Comments (0)
It is very unusual for any Wings news to filter in on a Sunday morning, but these are desperate times.
The Wings are talking to Larry Murphy. Not just talking but trying to get him to say yes to a comeback. The Wings plan is to have Murphy become a power play specialist and only a power play specialist.
With the latest injury to Kronwall, the Wings feel they need some help on the blueline and to save some dman minutes for 5-on-5 and PK situations, they believe Murphy could run the right point on the power play.
Hmmm, a Hall of Famer on the point! Will it work, who the heck knows.
Of course, he would have to clear waivers, at least I think he would.

Kronwall Hurt - Can We Get An Update
by Paul on 03/31/07 at 03:47 PM ET
Comments (0)
Nick Kronwall suffered a right hip injury early in last night's game and was taken to a local Detroit hospital for further observation.
Mike Babcock said after the game the Wings had yet to receive an update.
Here we are, mid-afternoon on Saturday, and still nothing.
Our two sports radio stations are either talking NCAA basketball or who the Detroit Lions should draft.
No mention of Kronwall all day.
Our beat writers must be busy, nothing from them either.
Come on folks, are we talking about losing a top 4 dman for the week, a month, a day, someone let us know.
update 2:35pm, from the CP via TSN,
Detroit Red Wings defenceman Niklas Kronwall is expected to be out for as much as two months after suffering a non-displaced fracture of his sacrum during Friday's game against Dallas.
The team also announced Saturday that captain Nicklas Lidstrom will miss Sunday's game in Columbus because of a lower back strain.
Detroit has re-called defenceman Kyle Quincey from AHL Grand Rapids and expects to have defenceman Brett Lebda back in the lineup Sunday for the first time since suffering a concussion on March 24.

Gordie Howe Hits 79

from Evan Weiner at NHL.com,
Happy Birthday Gordie Howe!
You are 79 (on Saturday, March 31) and have a legacy that may never be topped in hockey – or all sports for that matter.
There are so many stories about the guy who was simply called "Mr. Hockey" that it's almost impossible to figure out which is true and which is legend. Even Gordie himself isn't certain what stories really did occur, joking that he isn't sure if he is Gordie Howe or Paul Bunyan.

Give Babcock Credit

from Pierre McGuire at NBC Sports,
Detroit is now the No. 1 team in the Western Conference and it looks like the Red Wings will hold onto that position.
The Wings have talent, veteran presence, and one of the most amazing defensemen to have ever played the game in Nicklas Lidstrom. They also have one of the most underrated coaches in the NHL. Mike Babcock has done one of the best coaches jobs in the NHL….
Babcock can be in your face with his style, but it works. He brought a surprising Anaheim team to within one win of the Stanley Cup in 2003, has won the World Junior Hockey Championship for Canada, and the Men's World Championship. His coaching pedigree is excellent, but for some reason Babcock never gets any praise.

via MLive,
After skating with the team Thursday morning in Nashville, Henrik Zetterberg still appears to be several days away from returning.
"I'm skating a little bit more and more every day, still no battles,'' Zetterberg said. "Hopefully one or two games (before the playoffs) would be good, but if not, I just have to deal with that.
"I'm still just at 35-40 minutes each time out there, got to get a little longer. Then the last step will be battling in the corners. Still got a few steps left before I'm back.''

Preds Know They Can Compete With Detroit

from Kevin Allen of USA TODAY,
Peter Forsberg has been in Nashville since Feb. 15, and yet it seems as if he will add a fresh dynamic to the rivalry Thursday night when the Predators and Detroit Red Wings play for first place in the Western Conference….
The Predators acquired Forsberg specifically because of his reputation for bringing grit and high performances to big games, particularly in the playoffs. Thursday's game has some qualities of a playoff game, only because Detroit is winning the season series and the Red Wings have long been a measuring stick for the Predators.
"Detroit is always hard to beat, no matter who you are," Forsberg said. "I don't think there is any mental hurdle. We know we are a good team. We know we can compete with them."

Never A Good Goal
by Paul on 03/28/07 at 10:26 AM ET
Comments (0)
from John Niyo of the Detroit News,
"I never, ever asked someone to be the goalie. It was always me."
"I don't know exactly," he said. "But this is what I always liked about it: Even if your team doesn't play great, you can be the one who can win the game for the whole team. And I like for people to depend on me: 'Dom is there, and he can do it for us.' "
That's the mentality, perhaps, that drives Hasek's almost maniacal practice habits.
"Obviously, he still has it—in practice, in games," said Chris Chelios, one of Hasek's first teammates in Chicago, Hasek's first stop after leaving the Czech national team in 1990. "As far as I can see, he hasn't changed one bit."
Chelios laughed.
"Aside from maybe flipping out a little less after losses," he added. "He keeps it in control a little better. You can see when he gets on the bus, he's holding it in. But it's still fun to see how much of a sore loser he is. There's never a good goal with Dom."

Can Nokia take a bite of the Apple?
(The Northern Echo Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) FACED with the threat of losing sales to the iPhone, mobile colossus Nokia has hit back against Apple by launching its own rival to iTunes.
The UK Nokia Music Store opened for business last week, offering millions of tracks from major artists, indie labels and up-and-coming hopefuls.
As well as accessing the site from a computer, music lovers can download tracks via their mobile phones. So far this is only possible if you own a Nokia N95 or an N81 but we're promised more models will soon be able for shopping online.
Nokia has priced the service to compete on a like-for-like basis with iTunes.
Individual tracks cost 80p and albums start at GBP8. PC users can also buy a monthly streaming subscription for GBP8 which allows them to listen to as much music as they can stand.
The store's intuitive user-interface makes streaming fulllength tracks easy, and offers options to create customised playlists and note tunes on a wish list that you can decide to buy later. Tracks purchased can also be transferred via your PC to compatible Nokia devices.
Tracks will be encoded in high quality 192 kbps Windows Media Audio and can be transferred to mobile devices via Windows Media Player. A Nokia PC Music client will be available shortly.
This will allow simultaneous CD ripping - to a PC and a mobile phone at the same time - cutting down on the time needed to build a decent music library.
The N81 handset also allows users to upload their own album artwork just like the iPhone.
It all sounds rather promising but, given iTunes' incredible success, can Nokia really make a dent in Apple's sales? Others, including Napster, Coke and Sony, have all tried and failed. But music lovers write Nokia off at their peril. As the world's leading mobile manufacturer it can integrate music playing software and a music store in a way only Apple has managed so far.
It's a bit early to write off the iPod just yet but this may be the most serious threat to Apple's dominance.

BOSTON, MA -- (Marketwired) -- 03/25/14 -- ORACLE INDUSTRY CONNECT -- Oracle (NYSE: ORCL)
News Summary
New research from Oracle reveals that an increasingly democratic relationship is emerging between digitally-empowered consumers and retailers, forcing retailers to re-evaluate technology investments and strategic initiatives to capture loyalty, drive spend and remain competitive. The New Retail Democracy, a study issued this week by Oracle, finds that consumers are demanding better access to information, product and process, along with more individualized interactions with retailers as they take ownership of their retail experiences. This requires retailers to prioritize the provision of a commerce anywhere business model to be relevant and competitive in today's complex global marketplace.
News Facts
- The New Retail Democracy survey findings disclose the single biggest challenge for retailers is to understand, empower and represent the digitally-empowered consumer across all touch points.
- Results demonstrate that 93 percent of respondents want to understand availability of products, and 58 percent rate it as more important than price, indicating that "Availability Always" is a priority.
- There is an undisputed link between availability, loyalty and spend, with 46 percent of respondents admitting to being more loyal and 30 percent likely to spend more with a retailer that provides information about products' availability.
- Furthermore, 92 percent report that they will not wait for a product to come into stock, with 88 percent indicating they will source a product elsewhere in this situation, placing pressure on retailers to integrate demand forecasting, planning, merchandising, supply chain, marketing and commerce capabilities across all touch points.
- The study finds that "Access Anywhere," or access to information in stores, online and on mobile devices, is vital to enabling consumers to make purchases at anytime and anywhere, requiring retailers to align business processes and touch points to connect the customer journey regardless of purchase path.
- Empowering retail employees, particularly retail assistants, with access anywhere is equally important in reducing the disconnect with empowered consumers and helping to ensure they can support productive and profitable interactions at every opportunity.
- 73 percent of respondents highlighted the importance of "Individual Retail," meaning every interaction with a retailer should be relevant to the individual consumer based on their interests, requirements and purchase history.
- With 48 percent of respondents willing to buy direct from brands, it is more important than ever to enhance consumer engagement by using science-based retail analytics tools to deliver relevant and insightful interactions that improve brand affinity.
- 82 percent of consumers consider the adoption of new technologies important to their retail experiences and are using multiple touch points, including mobile phones, click and collect, social networking sites and online magazines to complete their shopping journeys.
- The store remains vital to the provision of commerce anywhere with a majority of respondents rating the physical interaction with products and people as being important to enhancing their shopping experiences. However, retailers must commit to investing in these operations to transform them by offering value-add services and activities that support local communities.
- In the next few weeks, Oracle will share detailed regional analysis of this research through a series of international events and communications. For more information and full research findings, visit http://www.oracle.com/newretaildemocracy.
Supporting Quote
- "As consumers continue to dictate how, when and where they make purchases, Oracle believes that providing commerce anywhere is imperative for retail success," said Mike Webster, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Oracle Retail. "Retailers need to invest in aligning and integrating retail processes with the needs of individual consumers to compete and grow effectively in the New Retail Democracy."

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic • Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural style...

Nestling birds struggle in noisy environments
Unable to fly, nestling birds depend on their parents for both food and protection: vocal communication between parents and offspring helps young birds to determine when they should beg for food and when they should crouch in the nest to avoid a predator seeking an easy meal. A group of researchers has found that ambient, anthropomorphic noise -- from traffic, construction and other human activities -- can break this vital communications link, leaving nestlings vulnerable or hungry.

The effect of statins influenced by gene profiles
The Montreal Heart Institute Research Centre is once again pushing the limits of knowledge in personalized medicine. A meta-analysis combining the results of several pharmacogenomic studies and involving over 40,000 research subjects now makes it possible to demonstrate a different response to statins according to the patient's gene profile.

Wage disclosures for public officials lead to salary cuts, high turnover rates
In the era of big data, transparency has become a popular policy tool for addressing potential problems. But new research from Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs shows that publicly disclosing personal information -- such as government officials' income -- may result in unintended consequences, such as pay cuts and turnover.

A new ordinance in Prestonville will affect new driveways and road entrances in the future. The ordinance, which passed unanimously on first reading at the meeting Oct. 20, is a direct result of the issues the city has had lately with standing road water and property damage because of inadequate ditching and culverts installed by property owners in the past.
This election is the most important in our lifetime. I believe Obama has froze the Senate only Harry Reid can approve any legislation that needs to be voted on. No one else has any authority.
If McConnell wins this election he will be able to ensure bills can be voted on in the Senate. If Grimes wins nothing can occur legislatively without Reid and Obama's approval. Hence then we are frozen in the Senate until Obama leaves in two years.

In the interest of doing what is best for Kentucky and the nation, I request your vote for Mitch McConnell. I ask that you consider the following:
Experience— real experience in the Congressional Legislative process — does count. Clearly Mitch has the overwhelming advantage over Alison's documented lack of relevant experience.
It is important that elected officials in Washington have our interest at heart and not their own.

Movie Preview: Made of Honor
Several weeks after the preview came out for 27 Dresses starring Katherine Heigl, we find a second Grey's Anatomy star with a trailer for a wedding-themed rom-com. Made of Honor appears to be the very same movie as My Best Friend's Wedding, except with the sexes reversed, and charmless.
Patrick Dempsey plays Tom, a dashing New York playboy who finally decides that he wants to settle down with his best lady friend Hannah (Michelle Monaghan) — just in time to find out that she's engaged and wants him to be her "maid" of honor.
The hilarity! I mean, just imagine: What kind of crazy hijinks will take place when a guy tries to throw a bridal shower? Or when she drags him along to find lingerie for the wedding night? Awkward, huh?
You can see for yourself if you watch the trailer, so read more

HOT TOPICS: Alcoholism Addiction AA Cocaine Heroin
Art Exhibit Confronts Race and the Drug War
A new art exhibit, Black/Inside: A History of Captivity & Confinement in the US, is set to relay a powerful message about the relationship between the War on Drugs and the history of black criminalization and incarceration in America. The exhibit, which opens at the University of Illinois Chicago's African American Cultural Center Gallery on October 23, will showcase a collection of photographs, postcards and newspaper articles from colonial times until the present. They were amassed over the past 15 years—initially as a hobby—by the exhibit's co-curator, Mariame Kaba. The War on Drugs has been central in "accelerating the way black people have been disproportionately targeted by the criminal justice system since arriving in the colonies," Kaba tells The Fix. An organizer, educator, writer and self-proclaimed "rabble rouser," Kaba is also the Founding Director of Project NIA, a grassroots organization with a mission to end youth incarceration. She hopes that the exhibit will help people to better understand mass incarceration, and to examine the complicity of those supporting politicians whose laws "criminalize classes of people in an inequitable way."
"Are black people more likely to do drugs and sell drugs? No," says Kaba. "Are they more likely to be incarcerated? Yes." Referring to the 2010 Fair Sentencing Act, which reduced the enormous differences between punishments for crack cocaine and powder cocaine, she points out that sentences remain drastically more severe for crack, at a rate of 18:1. "This disparity shows the arbitrary nature of these things," she says. But in spite of a history of institutional inequality, she's not without hope. "We are at a moment when there are too many people behind bars, the system has overloaded," she says. "It cannot continue the way it has been." And she believes the country's current economic situation could actually help the cause: "This moment coincides with a difficult economic crisis in the country, so people who would regularly not pay attention or be on the same side are starting to talk about decriminalizing drugs and not involving the criminal justice system at all."
Russia Declares Cold War on Big Tobacco
The size of Russia's tobacco market is second only to China's, but it could soon take a hit with the Kremlin's tough new plan to crack down on smoking. A bill with restrictions similar to those found in the West—including outlawing advertising, raising taxes and banning smoking in public spaces—will likely be submitted to parliament next month. "We are ready. This is going to be a harsh measure, but it is absolutely necessary," says a spokesman for Russia's First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov. "It will take time—maybe another generation—but we will succeed in defeating smoking and promoting a healthy lifestyle." An estimated 44 million Russians currently smoke, at a rate nearly double that in the US. The country goes through about 390 billion cigarettes a year, which results in enormous profits for the tobacco industry; so naturally, companies and lobbyists are lining up in fierce opposition to the bill. "We have expressed our opinions on certain aspects of the bill," says a spokesperson for Japan Tobacco International, which controls 37% of the market. "I wouldn't say we are lobbying. We are just letting our position be known." Despite opposition from tobacco companies, officials expect the bill to pass, largely due to its endorsement by President Vladimir Putin. "This law would not exist without Vladimir Vladimirovich [Putin]," says Sergei Kalashnikov, head of the Russian parliament's health committee. "There is tremendous opposition to it, but it will be adopted."
Pro-Pot Campaigns Recruit the Right
While prohibitionists like Bill O'Reilly would have you believe that anti-prohibitionists are a bunch of "far left loons," the truth is far more complicated. Activists in Colorado, Oregon and Washington—the latest marijuana legalization front lines—have been joined by some serious conservative voices, with Republican Tom Tancredo joining now-Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and Ron Paul. Mark Slaugh, one of the volunteers for Colorado's pro-pot Proposition 64, has been successfully campaigning in locales that might seem like enemy territory at first glance. He recently attended a rally held by VP nominee Paul Ryan, handing out flyers to make the case to tax and regulate pot like alcohol. Slaugh doesn't see this as a left or right issue: "It's fiscally prudent," he says. "It would be taxed, regulated, monitored. It makes a lot of sense to Republicans."
The latest Republican pro-legalization volley comes from Tom Tancredo, the former congressman from suburban Denver who briefly ran for president in 2008. He's launched a radio ad describing marijuana prohibition as "failed government program" that "steers Colorado money to criminals in Mexico." Comparing marijuana prohibition to the disastrous experiment of alcohol prohibition, Tancredo says, "Proponents of big government have duped us into supporting a similar prohibition of marijuana—even though it can be used safely and responsibly by adults."
Of course, most of the right isn't convinced: the Romney campaign has announced its opposition to States' rights when it comes to marijuana, and most Republicans remain opposed to full legalization (although 67% of Republicans want to end the federal crackdown on MMJ.) Drug warriors are warning of a "constitutional showdown" if the legalization proposals pass. In a teleconference on Monday, Peter Bensinger, the former DEA administrator, tried to put the pressure on Attorney general Eric Holder to come out publicly against the proposals. "Federal law, the US Constitution and Supreme Court decisions say that this cannot be done because federal law preempts state law," he warned. And that's not all, apparently: "There is a bigger danger that touches every one of us," Bensinger continued. "Legalizing marijuana threatens public health and safety. In states that have legalized medical marijuana, drug driving arrests, accidents, and drug overdose deaths have skyrocketed. Drug treatment admissions are up and the number of teens using this gateway drug is up dramatically." Bensinger was joined by perennial War on Drugs cheerleaders such as Bill Bennet and John Walters, former directors of the While House Office of National Drug Control Policy; Chief Richard Beary of the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP); and Dr. Robert L. DuPont, founding director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).
Not everyone treated their intervention with the gravity they would have preferred: "The call today should be taken as seriously as an event by former coal industry CEOs opposing legislation curtailing greenhouse gas emissions," retorted Mason Tvert, co-director of the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol, the group behind Colorado's likely-to-pass Amendment 64. "They are stuck in a certain mindset and no level of evidence demonstrating the weakness of their position will change their views."
Kids at Risk for Eating Disorders Have Higher IQs
Children at high risk for eating disorders demonstrate significant cognitive differences from those at lower risk, according to a new study published in the journal Psychological Medicine. Researchers at the UCL Institute of Child Health (ICH) drew from a study of 6,200 children between ages 8 and 10 and they discovered that those with a close relative with anorexia on average have a higher IQ and better working memory (the ability to temporarily hold and process useful information). However, these kids were also found to have poorer attentional control in general. Children with a bulimic family member tended to have difficulty assembling objects, illustrating poorer visuo-spatial skills than the control group. According to study author Radha Kothari, studying kids who are at risk—instead of those who have developed eating disorders—rules out diet as a contributing factor. "This meant we could focus on characteristics that might increase the risk of developing an eating disorder, rather than characteristics which might be the result of an eating disorder," she says, and this type of insight that could eventually help support prevention-based treatment. Dr. Nadia Micali, who led the research, says: "Although more research is needed to clarify these results, these findings should nevertheless help in the identification of vulnerable children, and in furthering our understanding of which neuropsychological characteristics may make a child susceptible to an eating disorder."
Bank Exec Who Sued LAPD May Be Bath Salts Addict
Just in time for Halloween: another eery news appearance from bath salts. This time, a Deutsche Bank executive, who filed a $50 million police brutality claim against the LAPD in May, might have been addicted to bath salts—if a confession he made just two days before the alleged beatings is anything to go by. The LAPD has released audio of Brian Mulligan, the bank's managing director and vice chairman of media and telecommunications, after he frantically flagged down a cop, claiming that a helicopter was following him. The officer is heard calmly pointing out the lack of helicopters in the vicinity, at which point the exec admits to recently taking "White Lightning"—a commercial name for the synthetic drug compound known as bath salts. Mulligan told the cop that he'd used the drug more than 20 times and that it "felt like his face was melting off" the first time he tried it—which sounds like a great reason to go back for more. Two days after this incident, the exec claimed that LAPD officers searched his car without reason and that, when he tried to flee, the cops beat him mercilessly, resulting in 15 fractures to the nasal area, a broken scapula, and facial lacerations severe enough that he "barely looked human." The LAPD claims that a man matching Mulligan's description was trying to open people's car doors and when they tried to stop him, he "took a fighting stance" and charged the officers. The bath salts revelation will likely be used against Mulligan should he follow through with his lawsuit; both of his lawyers have since dropped him as a client.
Rihanna Denies Cocaine Claims
Pop superstar Rihanna may be unabashed about her marijuana use, but she apparently does not like being associated with harder drugs. The "We Found Love" singer faced accusations of smoking cocaine after she tweeted a picture of herself rolling a cigarette that appeared to be drug-laced at the Coachella music festival in April. Now, she is emphatically putting those rumors to rest in a new interview with Vogue magazine. "They knew what it was," she says about the Coachella pictures. "They knew it was marijuana. It was completely clear to them." Rihanna went on to deny ever using the hard stuff. "I don't do cocaine. I don't like being associated with anything that's untrue," she says. Even with the constant controversy surrounding the singer's habits, her manager believes in this case, no press is bad press. "It's the rawest form of freedom of expression, right?" says manager Jay Brown. "She has the right to express herself, and I know she's being playful. I know when she's being serious and when she's just having fun."

Although urinary tract infections are not necessarily that damaging or threatening to ones health, one this is for certain- they are incredibly painful. The pain that comes from a urinary tract infection is unlike anything else. It is a constant pain and extreme discomfort that are only amplified when you have to urinate. That is when the burning sensation takes over and it is all over.
All you are after is how to get immediate relief from a UTI. You are ready for it to be gone, and ideally, as soon as possible. This is when it is best to rely on some fast acting natural remedies to help you escape the pain.
They are designed to bring as immediate relief as possible, all the while being gentle and effective on your body. Antibiotics can sometimes bring about a whole other slew of issues to deal with, such a side effects or even allergic reactions. Why not just rely on something that you know is safe and all-natural? Plus, something that wont cost you an arm and a leg either.
Natural remedies are the way to go and they are becoming more and more prevalent in our society. Its time for you to hop on board with this bandwagon and get some natural relief.
The best natural way to cure your UTI is to drink cranberry juice or lemon water. Both of them have properties that will help to clear up your infection in no time at all. Cranberry juice binds to the infection, helping to flush it out of the body each and every time you urinate. Even though it is painful, getting all of that pus out of your body is a positive thing.
Lemon water works in the same way, but it is considered a little bit stronger. It works the same, in that you drink it and urinate out the contents later in the day, but it works by killing the bacteria from the source. Lemon water is great to use for anything, ranging from clearing up infections to clearing up your skin. Its something that you should implement into your daily routine, no matter what your current health situation is.
Another way of treating your UTI is to take a bath in Epsom salt water. This is a fantastic way to get that immediate relief that you have been craving. Hot water and Epsom salt are a duo that are great at combating against infections. First of all, even though your infection is internal, taking a hot bath, especially in Epsom salt, will help to keep your body clean, which is important right now during this bout of infection, but it will also help to soothe the pain away. Soaking in a tub is easy. Adding some Epsom salt makes it a powerful tool in aiding against infection and treating current ones.
There is no need to rely on medications when there are natural treatments that you can put your trust in that are sitting right in your pantry waiting for you to use. Use these treatments today, so you can get immediate pain relief and get back to your normal every day routine.

Pranab won't challenge IMF growth forecast
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said on Tuesday he will not challenge the International Monetary Fund's prediction that India's economy will grow 8.8 percent this year, despite his ministry's own forecast of 8.5 percent growth.
Mukherjee, speaking to the U.S.-India CEO Forum here, said his view follows recent data showing that gross domestic product in the January-March quarter grew 8.6 percent -- the fastest rate in six months.
"This year, my ministry has predicted a growth rate of 8.5 percent. I notice that the IMF has challenged our prediction. For once, however, I am not going to contest the IMF assessment. The IMF believes that the Indian economy will grow at 8.8 percent."
Earlier this month, the finance ministry's chief economic adviser forecast India's growth in the quarter ended June 30 at 8.9 percent. In the fiscal year ended March 31, India's economy grew 7.4 percent.
Mukherjee attributed the strong performance of India's economy through the financial crisis in part to the country's "dynamic" corporate sector and to high levels of savings and investment.
He said India was saving and investing about 34 percent of GDP, compared with around 30 percent prior to 2003. "Data we have received for the last couple of months suggest that this is still rising," he added.
Mukherjee said these investment levels, along with more than $850 billion in needed infrastructure investment, gave him optimism that India can break into double-digit GDP growth in the next five years.
The Indian finance minister will meet with U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner later on Tuesday.

People who don't watch football must be so healthy
laralaralara replied to your post:DO U LIKE REGENCY ROMANCE NOVELS???
*\o/* (do you have any new or new-old recs btw, i've been in a reading rut for months and months and months)
oh man, KIND OF? I went through a very concentrated period of just mass consuming historical romances from the beginning of the year (thanks to your wonderful rec list :3 ) till like summer-ish and then I kind of hit a wall :/ I think because so much of what is typically termed "romance" is readily available online, if something doesn't hold my interest after like, 10 pages - I invariably give up on it. BUT:
I recently read some M/M genre-romance that I reallllly enjoyed (I'm usually hesitant with these because 90% of the time they are truly awful):
I DO! I like historical romance novels in general! I like romance novels in general! Preferably well-written ones with specific tropes that I'm fond of
When a grumbly grump who hates everyone and sees the world as dark and cold and unforgiving loves a sunshiney optimist.
When a sunshiney optimist who sees the best in everyone thinks the grumbly grump is the best thing out of the whole beautiful world.
