Night life in Naples or just enjoying the gorgeous sunsets night after night offer great options!

space does not necessarily diminish its conservation value. Moreover, maintaining nonconserved areas in biodiversity-friendly ways aids migration and dispersal between protected areas, a process that will become even more important as climate change rearranges species' distributions (Ricketts, 2001; Travis, 2003). Finally, maximizing biodiversity in areas where humans are active in their daily lives increases the frequency of interactions between human and nonhuman organisms, which enhances the potential for ecosystem-service delivery and bioliteracy development (see Onto the Cultural Radar Screen). Economic incentives (or legal strictures) can be developed to encourage (or require) biodiversity-friendly use of privately held lands (Farrier, 1995; Stoneham et al., 2003).
Biodiversity maximization in human-dominated landscapes does not in any respect reduce the need for large conserved wildlands. How to allocate conservation resources among these two different frameworks is a local problem, and answers will vary depending on such factors as the habitat types involved, local land-use history, the state of the region's government and protected-area system, and the availability and price of land for purchase. As in most other respects, Britain is different from Kenya is different from Amazonia. The challenges in planning for conservation in human-dominated landscapes are perhaps most pronounced in fragmented tropical forest–pasture–field mosaics, because tropical-forest biodiversity is so great and the alternate landscape states are so dramatically different from the baseline. One uncertainty is whether the apparently high conservation value of these mosaics [e.g., Daily et al. (2001) and Mayfield and Daily (2005)] will be sustained over centuries, or whether it will ultimately succumb to the "extinction debt" (Janzen, 1986; Tilman et al., 1994). A related concern is that the diversity of interspecific interactions in human-dominated landscapes will decline more quickly and less perceptibly than the diversity of populations or species and that this will eventually lead to additional population and species loss. A 300-year-old canopy tree species in a Brazilian pasture may serve as a roost for a diversity of birds, epiphytes, and other organisms. But if its pollinator or seed disperser has been lost or will not venture into the pasture (Cordeiro and Howe, 2003), or if its seeds will not germinate in a pasture, or if its seedling crop will be devastated by pasture-tolerant seedling predators, then it is among the living dead (Janzen, 1986): it will not replace itself, and, when it goes, so go the other species that used it.
Ecotourism has long been one of the most potent forces favoring conservation and will continue to be so. Ecotourists are consumers of services that nature provides (beauty, adventure, life lists, etc.), and they obligingly

Jordache unveils its most exciting advertising campaign to date featuring the sexy supermodel, designer, entrepreneur and host of TV's Project Runway and America's Got Talent, Heidi Klum. Shot by photographer, director and longtime Klum collaborator, Rankin in Los Angeles, the commercial casts Klum as a pied piper and takes a turn for the fantastical as she leads a suburban cast (and a not so suburban cast) to the beat of Bee Gees Stayin' Alive. In addition to singing the track, Klum dances to a sequence choreographed by Fatima Robinson who has choreographed music videos for Black Eyed Peas, Rihanna and Michael Jackson just a few. The multifaceted campaign will include a national television commercial and print ad that will run in mid-August through November.
"We are excited to be working with Heidi Klum for the fourth time" says Liz Berlinger, President of Jordache Enterprises. "Heidi is a true Renaissance woman who inspires us all as she balances life as supermodel, TV host, business woman and mother. Heidi's fashionable style and sexy confidence embodies what the Jordache brand is about."
Jordache has established itself as a leader in the designer-label jeans category since the 1970s. Through the years, Jordache has kept their highly-anticipated ad campaigns provocative and innovative with a chic elegance that keeps Jordache a celebrity and fashionista favorite. This is the fourth time Jordache has selected Klum to be featured in their ad. She is part of an elite group of glamorous, sexy and talented women who have represented Jordache, including model and actress Elizabeth Hurley. Jordache is sold at WalMart and WalMart.com.
The campaign was conceived and executed by DMA United. Klum's beauty look by make-up artist Linda Hay and hairstylist Andy Lecompte both represented by The Wall Group.
About Jordache:
The Jordache LOOK changed the denim game for over 30 years and is still going strong. Today, Jordache Enterprises is a privately held conglomerate with an international reach. The company designs and manufactures a wide variety of denim, apparel and accessories, and has earned a distinguished reputation for quality and excellence.

An extremely rare Natural Fancy Vivid Purplish Pink Diamond from Brazil, known as the Strawberry Pink, is available by appointment only at select One and Only One™ locations nationwide. The 2-carat cushion-cut Strawberry Pink Diamond, VS1, is flanked by a pair of Natural Fancy Blue Diamonds (0.94 carat), set on a ring of platinum and rose gold. All three diamonds are accompanied by certificates from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). The price of the ring is available upon request.
"The color of this Brazilian Pink Diamond is so highly saturated it actually displays mysterious flashes of red," said Joe Padulo, CEO of Padulo Privé, an adviser to elite jewelers and luxury brands. "When you consider the staggering performance of Pink Diamonds at auction in the past three years, the Strawberry Pink will no doubt find its way to the portfolio of a discerning investor."
On November 12, 2013, at Sotheby's Geneva, New York-based diamond cutter Isaac Wolf beat three other bidders, two of them from the Far East, to buy the Pink Star, a 59.60-carat Fancy Vivid Pink Diamond, for $83 million. This is a record price for any gemstone at auction. The previous record was held by the Graff Pink, a 24.78-carat Fancy Intense Pink that was sold for $45.6 million in 2010, at Sotheby's Geneva. The 34.65-carat Princie, a Fancy Intense Pink, raised $39.3 million at Christie's in New York last April.
"Frankly, when I sold the Graff three years ago, I thought it would be a record for a very long time. Tonight's price is really quite extraordinary three years later," Sotheby's auctioneer David Bennett told Reuters on November 12, 2013, "It means the three top prices paid for gemstones are all pink diamonds." color:#464646"">
Of all diamond colors, pink is the most intriguing. Unlike other colored diamonds, the phenomenon of Natural Pink Diamonds is a scientific mystery. It is thought that the color is created by a twist within the atomic lattice during formation, the result of immense heat and pressure beneath the earth's surface. Heavily saturated pure pinks and purplish pinks are considered prized collectibles, with prices reflecting their rarity and desirability.

Hey girls,
I just signed up today...and just love the site here. I can see myself making sooo many new friends.
Well, I posted in another ivillage board about a GREAT find i got. I dont have many friends near my house, and have more online...I was so excited to tell someone about this bargain piece, and figured why be greedy and keep the site to myself...I dont have enough money anyways to buy all their deals.
I bought a vintage full length princess cut leather coat...oh my...its so HOT. The other best part, it only cost me $9.99...no joking around. Wished they had a lay-away-plan, let me know if you find anything nice...would love to hear if I was able to help someone save money and look hot too...bye for now...girls
C U Soon,

This is MY area of expertise!!!
I go thrifting twice a week - every Wednesday and Saturday. I get a load of great things every time! This past Saturday, I got a 100% cashmere cardigan from Club Monaco, a vintage Isaac Mizrahi pantsuit, a pair of Merrells, a Jones New York sweater, an Old Navy beige wool turtleneck, sundry books and other items. In the past, I have gotten a pair of Michael Kors boots, a pair of Bruno Magli heels, a vintage Halston silk blouse, a vintage Christian Dior sweater, a vintage Oscar de la Renta blazer, and a ton of other great vintage and NEW items that I can't remember now. Most of these things I have paid $1 each for on "dollar day". It is AWESOME! I have TWO closets FULL of clothes that I got for what ONE of my Banana Republic coats would have cost retail. I have a great work wardrobe, a great play wardrobe, a great lounge wardrobe and a great vintage wardrobe all from shopping thrift. It is the ONLY way to go for me!
(Yes, I'm a wardrobe-aholic!)

Valerie Bowman Jarrett (born November 14, 1956) is a senior advisor and assistant to the president for Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs for the Obama administration. She is a Chicago lawyer, businesswoman, and civic leader. Prior to that she served as a co-chairperson of the Obama-Biden Transition Project.
Jarrett was born in Shiraz, Iran to American parents James E. Bowman and Barbara Taylor Bowman. Her father, a pathologist and geneticist, ran a hospital for children in Shiraz, as part of a program where American doctors and agricultural experts sought to help jump-start developing countries' health and farming efforts. When she was five, the family moved to London for one year, returning to Chicago in 1963.
In 1966 her mother, Barbara T. Bowman, was one of four child advocates that created the Erikson Institute. The Institute was established to provide advanced knowledge in child development for teachers and other professionals working with young children.

Marketing to Free Staters: 'I don't pay taxes'
While covering the Free State Project's annual Liberty Forum in Nashua, NHPR's Michael Brindley interviewed one of the vendors, Jillian Battey.
Battey runs a home-based confectionery business, Stateless Sweets, while spreading her philosophy of market anarchism.
And why should a faithful libertarian buy Battey's chocolate rather than, say, a Hershey bar? asked Brindley. "Well," replied Battey, "I don't pay taxes."
"Well, I don't fund wars, so I don't pay taxes and nobody pays taxes when they buy my product, either. I don't ask the government for permission to sell my own work."

Without question a film gem from start to finish. The sands of time haven't dated this classic. Dick Van Dyke is his usual masterful self along side the delightful looker Sally Ann Howes.

A larger-than-life children's classic that's fun for the whole family! Beautifully filmed with lots of heart, thrills, and catchy tunes. A little long and drawn out in parts (particularly the "Posh" song) ... and I wish the whole adventure wasn't set up to have been just a story the father was telling (a really silly thing to do since the car ends up flying away at the end anyway) ... but those are small points to make about a hugely memorable film. The child catcher gave me the creeps as a child and still does! **** out of *****

What kid doesn't love this film? Loved it as a kid. As an adult I appreciate the cinematography, production design, orchestrations, more so than when I was younger, this was an expensive production! Childhood film is still fun and the score is wonderful. With the Child Catcher, the Baron and Baroness, Grandpa Potts, the zeppelin and the flying car there's a lot going on. See it widescreen. The intermission sequence if a blast!

Hypertension affects one in three Americans. It is often called the "silent killer" because many people don't know they have hypertension, which can lead to more serious health problems.
Health conditions and lifestyle habits may put you at risk for hypertension. Genetics, age and ethnicity may also be contributing factors.
You can have high blood pressure for years without any symptoms. If your hypertension is severe, you may experience headache or chest pain. Usually, the only way to detect hypertension is by having your blood pressure checked regularly.
Your doctor will measure your blood pressure with a pressure-measure gauge over 2-3 different appointments to confirm a diagnosis.
Every condition, whether mild, progressive or chronic, can take a physical and emotional toll. Learn how to recognize the symptoms, manage the condition and get needed support.
Dealing with high blood pressure can be frustrating. Talk openly and regularly with your doctor, and take an active role in your care. Find out which questions to ask your doctor.

Question: Is pressing garlic an acceptable substitute for mincing garlic?
- a
- Angela Roberta Jan 7, 2008 11:56 AM
I'm just not good at mincing garlic. I find pressing it so much easier. Is there a radical difference in taste? If pressing makes the taste stronger, could I use a bit less than the recipe calls for?
I think that pressing the garlic is certainly an acceptable substitute for mincing. When you press the garlic, it will take on a stronger, slightly more bitter taste, while mincing the garlic makes it slightly more mellow. In the end though, this rarely matters.
If you are planning to cook the garlic, either in a stew, sauce, or other way, it won't make much of a difference. Only if you are eating the garlic raw in a salsa or a dressing, will it make much of a difference. Personally, I like the taste of garlic very much and I more often add additional garlic than use less then the recipe calls for. So I would not use less when pressing the garlic, however that's a matter of personal preference.
Why not? Garlic is garlic, any way you use it. Oops! I stand corrected...don't buy that stuff that comes in a jar that's drowned in citric acid.
There wouldn't be much difference in taste, nor strength. The only difference would be in the tooth, but it's not often that you're looking to add texture with garlic anyhow. If pressing garlic is easier for you than mincing, by all means, press it!
My Blog: http://www.epicureforum.com
re: sirregular
Well, I do believe there is a difference in taste. Garlic gets stronger the finer it gets, because of a reaction when the two layers combine. Pressing does make it a little stronger. If I I want to soften the flavor of garlic, I make sure I chop it by hand. However 99% of the time I use my press.
re: Becca Porter
Is this true? By two layers, are you saying one layer is the papery skin? Where did you learn this?
re: scuzzo
Alton Brown. I forget the names. They both start with an A I think. It is cell walls I believe. Certainly not the papery outside.
Edited to add link: http://www.carnegiemuseums.org/cmag/b...
re: Becca Porter
Here is the transcript from AB's garlic episode:
He discusses how the enzyme alliinase breaks down the alliin into allicin, which creates the strong garlic odor. Smashing and pressing increase this reaction, as does really fine chopping, compared to more coarse chopping. You can find similar info on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alliin
Although I chop garlic, I think that pressed garlic typically works. For some dishes, I prefer a chunkier rough chop than the fine mince from a garlic press. The other factor to consider is that you will get considerably more 'juice' by pressing than with chopping and the tiny pieces may have a tendency to burn quickly, which would impart a bitter taste.
re: chilibaby
i believe the difference is that in smashing garlic versus mincing it more of the cell walls are smashed. increasing the reaction. vs a minced the reaction is going on but not as much of it.
What is difficult about mincing garlic for you -? the shape is awkward - i cut one side off to make flat then slice and mince OR i really like to take a fork and some course salt and mash it up on the cutting board. I think it all depends on how you are going to prepare the garlic after that.
I think the biggest risk is if its first in the pan i would shorten its cooking time as even the slightest burnt garlic ruins most dishes.
re: chilibaby
Thanks! This was awesome to learn.
I almost always press, unless I want slices or slivers. In a vinaigrette, I'd much rather have pressed garlic than merely minced.
Regarding the strength of the garlic , the flavor will depend on so many other factors as well, probably even more so: the size of the clove (I mean really, what size is "1 clove of garlic!"), the variety of garlic, the age of the head, etc.
But I think I get a more lingering flavor in cooked dishes if I used sliced or slivered garlic. Haven't done side by side comparisons, just an impression.
re: Karen_Schaffer
I have heard that garlic clove size is sort of irrelevant. The bigger cloves pack less punch than small gloves, per amount of volume. So apparently a small clove has the same amount of flavor as a big one.
re: scuzzo
But the bigger cloves can sometimes have a green thingy in the middle (called the germ), that can alter the flavor of the garlic in a not-pleasant way. I always remove the germ if it's even slightly green.
re: scuzzo
I've never noticed small cloves being stronger than big cloves. There has always seemed to be a pretty direct correspondence between volume and amount of flavor. If I'm making vinaigrette for 2 people, I use the smallest clove I can find, and it works well to keep the flavor from being overwhelming.
Some varieties can be stronger than others, but unless you grow your own, you don't usually have access to more than a couple varieties.
re: Karen_Schaffer
Not sure if I'm right, but I did recently hear it somewhere. I love garlic, so I just always use a lot, especially if it's just for me.
re: scuzzo
I read that too, scuzzo. It might have even been from Cook's Illustrated.
re: Becca Porter
Yes! I read it in Cook's while sitting in Barnes and Noble.
re: Karen_Schaffer
Just another thought, here. There are many different varieties of garlic (and no, I don't mean elephant, which is something else entirely) and each has a different flavor and differing degree of pungency. Also, garlic becomes more concentrated as it slowly dries out after harvest. And if it's been refrigerated, it will be even less "garlicky" and more "oniony." So if we live near Gilroy or are buying locally-grown garlic from a farmer's market, it's going to have different strengths and flavor components than if we bought out-of-season garlic at the supermarket.
For a mini master class in how to chop, press, slice, etc., garlic, check out this 5 minute clip from Jacque Pepin:
My family members don't smash, mince or press. They peel the garlic then stand there with the garlic in one hand and a paring knife in the other and slice as if one were peeling an orange. Me... I smash, mince and press depending on what use I have for the garlic.
I do not use pressed garlic for cooking.
I'm inclined to ask "Why Not?", but really, no-one else can answer this question for you.
If pressed garlic tastes OK _to_you_ as a substitute for minced, then it's OK. Simple as that. You're the cook, it's your call.
As others have pointed out (notably, McGee), as more of the garlic is exposed to air, the taste gets stronger. Whether pressing exposes more garlic than mincing is tough to say offhand; let your tastebuds be your guide.
Actually, I believe Cooks said that pressing is superior to mincing (in their review of garlic presses), as the press gets it much more uniform than most cooks.
I still mince by hand, mind you, because I enjoy it, but . . .
If I'm cooking it in a sauce, something that's going to simmer for some time, I'll chop it and toss it in just as the onion finishes cooking. But for most other purposes, the old Susi press gets the job. The best trick I came up with lately, by the way, is for garlicking the big monkeypod salad bowl: I put a big pinch of coarse salt in the bowl, press a clove of garlic over that, scraping it all off the bottom of the press with a knife, then I use a folded paper towel to rub garlic and salt all over the inside of the bowl.
Some food writer I don't particularly like - I think it was Barbara Kafka - explained her disapproval of garlic presses by saying that it gives one clove of garlic the strength of several. To me, that's simple ingratitude - like complaining because your savings account is drawing too much interest!
re: Will Owen
re: tbear
One small thought here. I noticed that my "other half" minced his garlic in smaller than quarter inch bits while making his breakfast potatoes. He added the garlic a bit too soon and the bits stayed on the bottom of the pan and burned while the rest of the ingredients cooked. My theory is, if he'd pressed them into a mushier form, then they wouldn't have dropped to the bottom of the pan but would have coated the other ingredients and would not have burned as quickly. They still would have burned though. Sorry Jacob!

is the description for the 2nd (2004) edition:This
is largely dedicated to coverage of advanced brewing
techniques for secondary products fermented with syntropic
microbes of the SAM
Type 4 category, that is, microbial consortia containing
acid-producing bacteria and PNSB as the primary dominant members, for
in various applications in human health, animal health, agriculture,
soil, compost, waste remediation, or other realms; it is intended for
technically-proficient readers who are frustrated at times with the
paucity and other limitations of information available elsewhere on
fermenting (aka brewing) such secondary products.
Among other topics, the book offers detailed guidance on brewing
high-quality, high phototrophe versions of activated SAM Type 4
which have greater power and much longer shelf life than the
techniques most commonly used in this realm for "activating" or
"extending" or "multiplying" such cultures (these
"activated" versions have sometimes been generically known as
"activated EM", "EM activated", "EM
extended" or "Extended EM" across the world since 1984.) I
have, in the period since the book was published, started referring to
such advanced types of AEM as Super AEM, or SAEM. In the current
edition of the book, the superior types of activated cultures described
are often referenced by the umbrella term "high-quality AEM"; I
have since replaced that term with more meaningful and descriptive
Much of the information in the brewing book will be
material from the
training courses and seminars which I have delivered to individuals and
nutritional product companies across the world that need to know a lot
about such matters quickly, and which I deliver as a consultant to
producers and brewers, and nutritional vendors/distributors, of such
Type 4 products. If you have sensed that I do not share
that I know on my free public list groups, this is entirely true,
because, among other things, the amount of trivial, distracting and
misleading questions generated by disclosure of such information -- as
well as the follow-up replies which would be required of me -- would be
overwhelming. And, quite frankly, much of this information
does not belong in full public view; it is better imparted only to
persons who are technically knowledgeable and technically proficient
can really use it and who are committed and dedicated to the detailed
work at hand. Thus, I long ago made the decision to stop sharing any
advanced information on such topics on the public e-mail list groups
because it invariably simply leads to chaos and trouble for many of the
readers. Thus, an appropriate forum was needed for this information,
this current informational product was an attempt to address that
A more complete description of the offering
This is an encyclopedic
guide and handbook which may help
you in brewing high-quality SAM Type 4 fermented antioxidant secondary
products for human, animal, agricultural, waste and industrial use,
particularly brews for human and animal ingestion. Are you an
intermediate or advanced user or technician working with SAM Type 4
commercial products, or do you wish to move to the advanced level with
ease? This book contains both basic and
advanced information, aimed only at the intermediate and advanced
technically-proficient user, and it includes recipes, ingredients,
and techniques, for brewing very-high quality batches of SAM Type 4
(for human use), high quality versions of so-called AEM, aka, EMA, EM
Extended and EM Secondary Solution, and also hints on making very high
quality fermented solid/granular products such as bokashi or SAM Type
4-fermented grains for animal feed. Also covers the topic of
elements in such cultures and brews. Content goes well beyond
which I have offered on my websites and on the public list groups.

When it comes to any sport, not just hockey, talking smack is all just part of the game. However, there is a certain code, sort of a "Bro Code" amongst men that you just don't cross. I think it is safe to say that Montreal Canadiens left wing Brandon Prust broke that "Bro Code" on Saturday afternoon against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
In the closing moments of the second period, during a television timeout of all things, Ben Bishop skated out of the net and over to the boards, as goaltenders tend to do during the TV timeouts. Every other player on both teams had made their way to their respective benches, all but one…Brandon Prust.
This is when Prust finds it pertinent to walk over the Lightning goaltender Ben Bishop and begin taunting him. At the time, it was not known what it was that was said to Bishop, but whatever it was, Bishop didn't like it. When Bishop attempted to confront Prust, who had been instigating Lightning players all afternoon, Prust took his stick and speared him in a place that no man should ever hit another man.
This set the Lightning goaltender off, and Bishop introduced Prust to his glove in quick form. It took two referees to break the two players apart when all was said and done.
In case you missed it, here is a look at the altercation between the two sides.
It is what happened next that has me perplexed. Here are the penalties that were assessed on the play.
What you don't see in the video is the skirmish that happened between Lightning defenseman Radko Gudas and Canadiens right wing George Parros after the incident. They were both assessed 10 minute misconducts for their actions. However, this is where things start to get sketchy.
Both Bishop and Price were given two minute penalties for "Leaving the Crease." Maybe I am incorrect, but the last time that I checked, this is a permitted action during TV timeouts; one that is done by just about every goaltender in the NHL.
Then, things get even sketchier. Prust is only assessed a two minute penalty for Unsportsmanlike Conduct. If you want to get technical about it, I see Instigating (as he had no business being near Bishop at that point anyway,) Roughing, Fighting (possibly to both as they both threw punches), Cross-Checking, as Prust clearly cross-checked Bishop in the chest, and I could keep going, but I think I have clearly illustrated my point already.
I am kind of shocked that Prust wasn't ejected from the game, but I guess this is why I am not a referee in the National Hockey League.
Do you think that Prust stepped out of line? Did he break "The Bro Code?" Do you think the referees made the right call with the penalties that were assessed? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Hated that I had to buy such an item for my dogs, but it does help Shamrock from eating either his own or Dublin's. Thanks
This product worked the first day I used it. Each dog has it's own learning curve, so the length of time it needs to be used will vary with the dog. But my dog did not eat his feces while taking NaturVet.'s Coprophagia.
My is a feces eater. Lord knows why, but I have tried a couple of products. Each with mixed success during treatment, but when treatment ceased he went right back to it. I thought this might be better than some, but it has been a mixed success so far. I liked the fact that it was an edible chew instead of a powder and the amount in each bag would last a little longer than some of the other products. Problem is with the recommended dosage I have caught my dog still eating his feces. I have up'ed the dosage by one chew per day and we will see how that works.
Been given both dogs this product for over 2 weeks but she is still eating stool.
The dogs really love getting this "treat" and it has stopped the excrement eating.
We adopted a 6 year old Miniature Australian Shepherd from a rescue in July of this year and her only 'problem' was that every time she defecated, she would try to eat it! So after quite a bit of research, we decided on this product and it works well for us! She may turn to smell what she just left behind, but makes a funny face and walks away!
I gave this to my Chihuahua and 2 days later she was throwing up and had diarrhea everywhere! I'm going to try Forbid next.
my dog were eating his poo. when I gave these chews for 2 days and he stop eatting his poo.
Have been using this for about 2 weeks and will my puppy's stool eating has lessoned, she will still eat stool sometimes. However, I 'm not sure if we just need to give it more time.
I have tried everything you can think of to stop
my dogs from eating feces! Yuck! Then I saw
NaturVet Coprophagia Deterrent Soft Chews.
The dogs love them as treats and I love what
they do!
Have a Lab pup. Tried it twice, he got diarreha.......but at least he stayed away from his mess, just harder for me to scoop up.
Sorry this product was of absolutely no luck for me.
Leia got really sick on these, only gave her one and she had the runs for days.
With ten dogs, we suddenly are having a problem with a couple of them wanting to eat feces. This product works great! No more hot or cold snacks! Yea!
I've given this product to my dog for about a week and a half, and it appears to be working. I haven't caught him eating his stool. Will buy again
This is the second product I've used to stop my dog from eating his stools - and it hasn't worked either. Have talked to my vet about it and she has made a couple of suggestions that I am going to try. One is to feed him fresh pineapple or two feed him fig newton cookies. Will try each one to see if we have any success.

October 25, 2014
LONDON (AP) - British police say they were called after a string of attacks on red-haired pupils at a school in northern England.
South Yorkshire Police said in a statement Friday the force had been alerted to last week's assaults at Wingfield Academy in the town of Rotherham, about 160 miles (260 kilometers) north of London.
It said a small number of pupils had sustained minor injuries after being attacked by fellow students. No arrests were made, but police said they had given some of the students involved a talking to, while the school said it condemned the attacks.
The issue of bullying of red-haired children periodically arises in Britain, and some commentators have attributed the phenomenon to lingering anti-Celtic prejudice.

PORTAGE | On the surface, Noah Hamilton looked like a success.
A college professor, it wasn't until Hamilton, a Marine Corps veteran who served four years in Vietnam, was stopped by police 18 months ago for driving under the influence, that he had a chance to get his life in order.
Hamilton, 64, of Kouts, was directed to the then new Porter County Veterans Treatment Court.
"It gave me back my life. It reconnected me with relationships, with my life," Hamilton said. He graduated last year and is now a mentor for other veterans who have been sent to the court.
The two-year-old program, run by Porter Superior Court Judge Julia Jent, was lauded Monday during a stop by the All Rise America! On the Road for Recovery. Six additional veterans were also recognized for completing the program.
The veterans treatment court, Jent said, is a program that addresses the underlying causes and underlying issues when veterans are arrested. It finds alternatives to incarceration while holding them responsible for their actions and keeping the community safe.
The All Rise America! On the Road for Recovery is being sponsored by the National Association of Drug Court Professionals and is on a month-long tour stopping at 25 specialty courts programs.
"We are visiting communities that are doing it right," said Christopher Deutsch, director of communication for NADCP. "There is no better example of the community getting it right than right here today."
Deutsch told the group gathered under a tent on the grounds of the North Porter County Government Complex that his group works to encourage courts such as this to help people in need of the services they provide.
Deutsch and his group were escorted to the ceremony by the Indiana Patriot Guard Riders. The Portage High School JROTC also participated. Speakers also included Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller, Indiana Appeals Court Chief Justice Margret Robb, Indiana State Sen. Karen Tallian, Porter Circuit Court Judge Mary Harper, Portage Police Chief Troy Williams, Porter County Sheriff David Lain and others.

To Twitter, or not to Twitter
ROSE Blog: Rikki's Open Source Exchange
Well I finally did it – I started our Linux Pro Twitter account. I have a personal Twitter account, too, but I'll admit that I rarely use it. I'm obsessive compulsive enough that you'd think I'd tweet as frequently as I check my email, but I just don't.
I have a couple of questions about how people use Twitter: What kind of tweets do you like best? And what kind of tweets really annoy you?
thanks for the feedbackThanks for the feedback, Maria! I plan to tweet about updates to the site, magazine, articles, authors, and events. I'm assuming no one cares what I have for breakfast, so I'll skip that when I tweet (but on the off chance that you do care – it was yogurt, coffee, and juice this morning).
To tweet or not to ...oh you get the ideaAny tweet that's informative is good. I don't even mind multiple tweets in a row for a particular idea. Tweets about the website changes would be *great*.
Hope it helps. Glad to see the magazine on Twitter! It'll remind me to check the website more often.

Please confirm that your email address is correct, so you can successfully receive this alert.
OBJECTIVE: The authors' goal was to investigate the awareness of illness and subjective cognitive complaints of patients with either bipolar I disorder or bipolar II disorder during a phase of clinical stabilization. METHOD: They used a structured clinical interview, the Frankfurt Complaints Questionnaire, to determine subjective cognitive complaints, and the Scale of Unawareness of Mental Disorder to assess 57 consecutively enrolled patients with bipolar I or bipolar II disorder. RESULTS: Patients with bipolar II disorder had significantly less insight and a higher level of subjective complaints of stimulus overload than patients with bipolar I disorder. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that a severe deficit in self-awareness may constitute a distinguishing psychopathological characteristic of patients with bipolar II disorder. Further studies are required to determine if there are associated neuropsychological dysfunctions.
As Weygandt noted in 1899 (1), cognitive dysfunctions seem to be present in patients with bipolar disorder, both in clinical remission (2) and in prodromic and residual phases (3). Cognitive dysfunctions appear to increase in proportion to the length of illness (4) and to be correlated to midsagittal magnetic resonance imaging brain size in patients with bipolar disorder who have psychotic symptoms (2).
A poor level of insight has been described as a characteristic in patients with acute bipolar disorder (5, 6). Awareness seems to grow only partially with clinical improvement (6 and appears to diminish progressively with the repetition of episodes (7).
A distinction between bipolar I and bipolar II disorder has been reported in terms of long-term diagnosis stability (8), greater prevalence in family members of patients with bipolar II disorder, and the familial phenotypic homogeneity of bipolar II disorder (9, 10). Studies of self-awareness phenomena and their neurofunctional correlates, however, have not considered the distinction. Therefore, the present study aims to evaluate awareness of illness in patients with either bipolar I or bipolar II disorder. We also investigated the presence of subjective cognitive disturbances in a phase of clinical stabilization.
Fifty-seven outpatients were recruited consecutively at the Neurosciences Institute; 25 patients had bipolar I disorder, and 32 had bipolar II disorder (full or partial remission phases, according to DSM-IV criteria). All patients provided written informed consent. They were evaluated for clinical symptoms, insight, and basic cognitive symptoms. To avoid diagnostic uncertainties relating to diagnoses from the spectrum of schizophrenia, patients with bipolar I disorder who had mood-incongruent psychotic symptoms were excluded from the study.
At the evaluation, all of the patients were taking mood stabilizers (lithium, N=29; carbamazepine, N=10; valproate, N=7; lithium and carbamazepine, N=5; lithium and valproate, N=4; gabapentin, N=2). Twenty of the patients were women, and 37 were men; they ranged in age from 24 to 47 years (mean=33.9, SD=6.7); their mean length of illness at recruitment was 6.3 years (SD=3.5); their mean hospitalization duration was 2.6 weeks (SD=3.2); and their mean educational level was 10.8 years (SD=3.1). None of the patients had concomitant medical illnesses or were substance abusers.
Patients were interviewed with the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I Disorders. The Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS), the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression, the Young Mania Rating Scale (11), and the Social Adjustment Scale were administered for clinical assessment. The Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Personality Disorders was used to evaluate comorbid axis II disorders. Four (16%) of the patients with bipolar I disorder (two borderline, one obsessive-compulsive, one dependent) and nine (28%) of the patients with bipolar II disorder (four borderline, two antisocial, two obsessive-compulsive, one histrionic) were given concurrent personality disorder diagnoses. The first three general items on the Scale of Unawareness of Mental Disorder (12) were used; these items refer to the subject's current awareness of mental disorder, utility of the therapy, and social consequences of the disorder. The scores on the Scale of Unawareness of Mental Disorder subscales are distributed on a 5-point scale on which 5=complete lack of awareness.
The Frankfurt Complaints Questionnaire (13) was used for the self-evaluation of patients' subjective experiences of cognitive disorder. Results on this measure were organized into four factorial dimensions: disorder of normal automatic processes, disorders of perceptual capacities, depression/anhedonia, and overstimulation.
Student's t test (alpha=p<0.05, two-tailed) and chi-square tests were used to compare the two groups. Interrater reliability was verified by a series of independent interviews conducted by two of us (S.P. and L.Q.); reliability on the Scale of Unawareness of Mental Disorder achieved an interclass correlation value ranging from 0.76 to 0.89.
The mean BPRS score of all 57 patients was 24.7 (SD=4.9), their mean Young Mania Rating Scale score was 5.03 (SD=2.36), and their mean Hamilton depression scale score was 6.35 (SD=2.95). No significant differences were found between patients with bipolar I and bipolar II disorder regarding these three scales (BPRS: t=0.84, df=55, n.s.; Young Mania Rating Scale: t=1.79, df=55, n.s.; Hamilton depression scale: t=1.99, df=55, n.s.) (T1). Neither did we find differences between groups in mean Frankfurt Complaints Questionnaire total scores, although the mean score on the overstimulation scale of the patients with bipolar II disorder was significantly higher than that of the patients with bipolar I disorder (T1). Patients with bipolar II disorder also showed a poorer level of insight than the patients with bipolar I disorder according to scores on the three subscales of the Scale of Unawareness of Mental Disorder (T1).
The patients with bipolar II disorder had a greater number of previous mood episodes than patients with bipolar I disorder, but there were no differences between the groups in unemployment rate, age, sex, or age at onset (T1). Patients with bipolar I disorder showed a significantly higher level of adjustment to social/leisure activities measured with the Social Adjustment Scale, but no other significant differences were found in social adjustment (T1). The patients with bipolar II disorder had a nonsignificantly greater rate of family history of affective disorder than the patients with bipolar I disorder (χ2=0.3, n.s.) (T1).
Patients with bipolar II disorder showed poorer awareness of their illness than patients with bipolar I disorder, although general impairment of awareness of illness was found in the whole study group. The latter finding is in agreement with other studies (5, 6), which have found that although there appears to be a correlation between a reduction of insight and severity of clinical symptoms, the correlation is not as linear as one might expect. Our results complement those of Amador et al. (12), revealing an impairment of insight in patients with primary mood disturbances.
Greater lack of insight might constitute a psychopathological characteristic that complicates the course of bipolar II disorder. Like subjects with bipolar II disorder in other studies (14), our patients with bipolar II disorder also had a greater number of relapses and a higher rate of affective disorders in their families.
The lower level of awareness of social consequences of their illness among the patients with bipolar II disorder, even though this may be affected somewhat by the data showing greater employment, was associated with social adaptation that was in fact worse. However, the complex relationship among an elevated number of previous episodes, mood alteration, and reduced insight is not completely explainable on the basis of our data.
In reporting cognitive complaints, patients with bipolar II disorder reported a greater level of overstimulation than the patients with bipolar I disorder. The experience of overstimulation can be considered a multidimensional construct, interpretable both as a neuropsychological dysfunction and as a peculiar use of self-deception (15) involving reduced awareness of having a disorder and a tendency to interpret their suffering as "friction" at the interface of internal rhythms and the environment (16).
It remains to be documented whether the level of insight varies in relation to different phases of the illness or to other factors such as gender or comorbid disorders. It would be worth devoting greater attention to the possibility of considering self-awareness deficit as a course specifier.
Further investigations are needed to clarify the possible relationship of subjective cognitive complaints to objective neuropsychological cognitive evaluation in patients with bipolar II disorder compared with patients who have bipolar I disorder and other comparison groups.
