I know there are errors, as mentioned I am working off of shoddy memory and so so photos..I know its not especially pretty, I'm not Michelangelo.If anyone wants to do some markups on these please do so and post them here, I will make corrections.
Even if these never get posted up as true tee signs the electronic document can still serve some purpose on web boards such as this one to help newcomers. If there is positive feedback I will create a similar one for the new course upon its completion.

Note the coloring in the footage circles, Red Circle/Silver Text. Red Circle/Yellow Text...and so on. This way regardless what pad this sign is printed for, it will work for either.

I know it's some extra work, but I think tee-specific signage would be best. That was you have no doubt which tee you are playing. And I believe I heard you mention this already on Sunday but keep in mind that anything yellow/gold will fade in the sun, and design accordingly. Otherwise I think they look good, I can't wait until they're in and the course is done! Great work, Duke.
Lewis wrote:I don't know what par will be on all of the holes, but it may be different from blue to gold than from red to silver. Take the hole that combines old 5/old 6. Seems to me that the gold basket would be a par 4 and the silver a par 3. I could be wrong, but it might be good to incorporate multiple listings of par for each hole. We will of course have to hear from Kevin on this point. Also be sure to make room on each sign for the sponsors, and be aware that these are roughly 11x15 signs (Craig can give you the exact dimensions).

These just struck me as mabye the numbers were swapped or something. Mabye its just me, landscapes can be decieving. Great job on the signs though. Everyone who plays the park will appriciate your efforts.

Rich Meade wrote:Played OP for the first time today...
It is in dire need of signage...
I dig the holes, and somewhat ok with the layout..but new people on the course have zero chance of finding there way around as it is right now.
I don't think a little "next tee" note on the tee pad signs is enough...

1 1/8 cups

3 tablespoons
1/3 teaspoon
1 1/2 cups
whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups
bread flour
2 tablespoons
vegetable oil
1 1/2 teaspoons
active dry yeast
I took other reviewers advice and used 2 cups whole wheat flour & 1 cup bread flour, and added 1 tsp salt, increased the honey to 1/4 cup, and used 2 tbsp melted butter instead of oil. I also used the dough cycle on my breadmaker, punched down the dough and let it rise for 30 mins. in a loaf pan covered with plastic wrap before baking it @ 350 degree's for 25 mins. I also put a pan of water on a lower rack of my oven and my DH said after eating some of this bread...EXCELLENT! So this is a keeper with some minor adjustments....
I hate to give bad reviews, especially when everyone else rates a recipe high, but this wasn't very good.

This is the BEST bread recipe I have come across.I did change the amount of honey to 1/4 C. and used real butter instead of oil. This is my new staple bread recipe. Thank you so much for this submission. It also works well with molasses( I ran out of honey).
I only gave this 4 stars since I changed several things based on other reviews. I used 2c. wheat flour and 1c. bread flour. I also used 1/4c. honey. I was concerned that this would make it too sweet but it balanced the other flavors perfectly. I also used 1t. salt. The end result was WONDERFUL. I will definitely make this bread again and again. Thanks for the recipe!
This bread is good. However, it is much better with more salt: 3/4-1 tsp, depending on taste. More honey also improves the taste; my friends and I like about 5 tbsp. BTW, I measure the oil in the tablespoon first, which helps the honey not stick to the spoon.
Terrific! Increased the honey to 1/4 cup, the salt to 3/4 teaspoon, and changed the flour -- decreased the white by 1/4 cup and increased the whole wheat by the same amount.
My husband and I stood in the kitchen eating thick slices of this with butter while the rest of dinner was finishing! This will make a perfect set the timer on your bread machine and awaken to homemade bread recipe!
This is a great recipe as is (although the amount of salt called for does seem too little), but also great for tinkering to personalize to your own taste. So, as many others have done, I put my own spin on this. I had milk I didn't want to waste, so I used that instead of water. I upped the salt to 1 teaspoon, substituted butter for the oil, used equal amounts of whole wheat and bread flour, and added 1 T. of vital gluten for good measure! Many reviewers increased the honey to 1/4 cup, but I found the 3 tablespoons to be perfect. For those who choose to stick to the recipe as written, I suggest you at least increase the salt to 1 teaspoon. This is just a great loaf of bread - moist and tender crumb, beautiful color and simply delicious.
I modified the recipe for high altitude (I live at
4700 feet) by reducing the water to 1 cup plus 1 T, and
reducing the yeast to 1 teaspoon. It turned out great.
It is very light for whole wheat and should pass the
"kid friendly" test OK.

The Morrígan
The Morrígan ("phantom queen") or Mórrígan ("great queen"), also written as Morrígu or in the plural as Morrígna, and spelled Morríghan or Mór-ríoghain in Modern Irish, is a figure from Irish mythology.
The primary themes associated with the Morrígan are battle, strife, and sovereignty. She sometimes appears in the form of a crow, flying above the warriors, and in the Ulster Cycle she also takes the forms of an eel, a wolf and a cow. She is generally considered a war deity comparable with the Germanic Valkyries, although her association with a cow may also suggest a role connected with wealth and the land.
She is often depicted as a trio of individuals, all sisters.[1][2][3] Although membership of the triad varies, the most common combination in modern sources is Badb, Macha and Nemain.[4] However the primary sources indicate a more likely triad of Badb, Macha and Anand; Anand is also given as an alternate name for Morrigu.[5] Other accounts name Fea and others.[4]
There is some disagreement over the meaning of the Morrígan's name. Mor may derive from an Indo-European root connoting terror or monstrousness, cognate with the Old English maere (which survives in the modern English word "nightmare") and the Scandinavian mara and the Old Russian "mara" ("nightmare");[6] while rígan translates as 'queen'.[7] This can be reconstructed in Proto-Celtic as *Moro-rīganī-s.[8] Accordingly, Morrígan is often translated as "Phantom Queen". This is the derivation generally favoured in current scholarship.[9]
In the Middle Irish period the name is often spelled Mórrígan with a lengthening diacritic over the 'o', seemingly intended to mean "Great Queen" (Old Irish mór, 'great';[10] this would derive from a hypothetical Proto-Celtic *Māra Rīganī-s).[11] Whitley Stokes believed this latter spelling was due to a false etymology popular at the time.[12] There have also been attempts by modern writers to link the Morrígan with the Welsh literary figure Morgan le Fay from Arthurian romance, in whose name 'mor' may derive from a Welsh word for 'sea', but the names are derived from different cultures and branches of the Celtic linguistic tree.[13]
Glosses and glossaries[edit]
The earliest sources for the Morrígan are glosses in Latin manuscripts, and glossaries (collections of glosses). In a 9th-century manuscript containing the Latin Vulgate translation of the Book of Isaiah, the word Lamia is used to translate the Hebrew Lilith.[14] A gloss explains this as "a monster in female form, that is, a morrígan".[15] Cormac's Glossary (also 9th century), and a gloss in the later manuscript H.3.18, both explain the plural word gudemain ("spectres")[16] with the plural form morrígna.[15] The 8th century O'Mulconry's Glossary says that Macha is one of the three morrígna.[15]
Ulster Cycle[edit]
The Morrígan's earliest narrative appearances, in which she is depicted as an individual,[17] are in stories of the Ulster Cycle, where she has an ambiguous relationship with the hero Cú Chulainn. In Táin Bó Regamna (The Cattle Raid of Regamain), Cúchulainn encounters the Morrígan, but does not recognise her, as she drives a heifer from his territory. In response to this perceived challenge, and his ignorance of her role as a sovereignty figure, he insults her. But before he can attack her she becomes a black bird on a nearby branch. Cúchulainn now knows who she is, and tells her that had he known before, they would not have parted in enmity. She notes that whatever he had done would have brought him ill luck. To his response that she cannot harm him, she delivers a series of warnings, foretelling a coming battle in which he will be killed. She tells him, "it is at the guarding of thy death that I am; and I shall be."[18]
In the Táin Bó Cuailnge queen Medb of Connacht launches an invasion of Ulster to steal the bull Donn Cuailnge; the Morrígan, like Alecto of the Greek Furies, appears to the bull in the form of a crow and warns him to flee.[19] Cúchulainn defends Ulster by fighting a series of single combats at fords against Medb's champions. In between combats the Morrígan appears to him as a young woman and offers him her love, and her aid in the battle, but he rejects her offer. In response she intervenes in his next combat, first in the form of an eel who trips him, then as a wolf who stampedes cattle across the ford, and finally as a white, red-eared heifer leading the stampede, just as she had warned in their previous encounter. However Cúchulainn wounds her in each form and defeats his opponent despite her interference. Later she appears to him as an old woman bearing the same three wounds that her animal forms sustained, milking a cow. She gives Cúchulainn three drinks of milk. He blesses her with each drink, and her wounds are healed.[20] He regrets blessing her for the three drinks of milk which is apparent in the exchange between the Morrígan and Cúchulainn, "She gave him milk from the third teat, and her leg was healed. 'You told me once,' she said,'that you would never heal me.' 'Had I known it was you,' said Cúchulainn, 'I never would have.'"[21] As the armies gather for the final battle, she prophesies the bloodshed to come.[22]
In one version of Cúchulainn's death-tale, as Cúchulainn rides to meet his enemies, he encounters the Morrígan as a hag washing his bloody armour in a ford, an omen of his death. Later in the story, mortally wounded, Cúchulainn ties himself to a standing stone with his own entrails so he can die upright, and it is only when a crow lands on his shoulder that his enemies believe he is dead.[23]
Mythological Cycle[edit]
The Morrígan also appears in texts of the Mythological Cycle. In the 12th century pseudohistorical compilation Lebor Gabála Érenn she is listed among the Tuatha Dé Danann as one of the daughters of Ernmas, granddaughter of Nuada.[5]
The first three daughters of Ernmas are given as Ériu, Banba, and Fódla. Their names are synonyms for Ireland, and they were married to Mac Cuill, Mac Cécht, and Mac Gréine, the last three Tuatha Dé Danann kings of Ireland. Associated with the land and kingship, they probably represent a triple goddess of sovereignty. Next come Ernmas's other three daughters: Badb, Macha, and the Morrígan. A quatrain describes the three as wealthy, "springs of craftiness" and "sources of bitter fighting". The Morrígu's name is also said to be Anand,[5] and she had three sons, Glon, Gaim, and Coscar. According to Geoffrey Keating's 17th century History of Ireland, Ériu, Banba, and Fódla worshipped Badb, Macha, and the Morrígan respectively.[24]
The Morrígan also appears in Cath Maige Tuireadh (The Battle of Mag Tuired).[25] On Samhain she keeps a tryst with the Dagda before the battle against the Fomorians. When he meets her she is washing herself, standing with one foot on either side of the river Unius. In some sources she is believed to have created the river. After they have sex, the Morrígan promises to summon the magicians of Ireland to cast spells on behalf of the Tuatha Dé, and to destroy Indech, the Fomorian king, taking from him "the blood of his heart and the kidneys of his valour". Later, we are told, she would bring two handfuls of his blood and deposit them in the same river (however, we are also told later in the text that Indech was killed by Ogma).
As battle is about to be joined, the Tuatha Dé leader, Lug, asks each what power they bring to the battle. The Morrígan's reply is difficult to interpret, but involves pursuing, destroying and subduing. When she comes to the battlefield she chants a poem, and immediately the battle breaks and the Fomorians are driven into the sea. After the battle she chants another poem celebrating the victory and prophesying the end of the world.[26][27]
In another story she lures away the bull of a woman named Odras. Odras then follows the Morrígan to the Otherworld, via the cave of Cruachan. When Odras falls asleep, the Morrígan turns her into a pool of water.[28]
Nature and functions[edit]
The Morrígan is often considered a triple goddess, but this triple nature is ambiguous and inconsistent. Sometimes she appears as one of three sisters, the daughters of Ernmas: Morrígan, Badb and Macha.[29] Sometimes the trinity consists of Badb, Macha and Anand, collectively known as the Morrígna. Occasionally Nemain or Fea appear in the various combinations. However, the Morrígan can also appear alone,[17] and her name is sometimes used interchangeably with Badb.[26]
The Morrígan is usually interpreted as a "war goddess": W. M. Hennessy's "The Ancient Irish Goddess of War", written in 1870, was influential in establishing this interpretation.[30] Her role often involves premonitions of a particular warrior's violent death, suggesting a link with the Banshee of later folklore. This connection is further noted by Patricia Lysaght: "In certain areas of Ireland this supernatural being is, in addition to the name banshee, also called the badhb".[31] Her role was to not only be a symbol of imminent death, but to also influence the outcome of war. Most often she did this by appearing as a crow flying overhead and would either inspire fear or courage in the hearts of the warriors. There are also a few rare accounts where she would join in the battle itself as a warrior and show her favouritism in a more direct manner.[32]
It has also been suggested that she was closely tied to Irish männerbund groups[33] (described as "bands of youthful warrior-hunters, living on the borders of civilized society and indulging in lawless activities for a time before inheriting property and taking their places as members of settled, landed communities")[34] and that these groups may have been in some way dedicated to her. If true, her worship may have resembled that of Perchta groups in Germanic areas.[35]
However, Máire Herbert has argued that "war per se is not a primary aspect of the role of the goddess",[36] and that her association with cattle suggests her role was connected to the earth, fertility and sovereignty; she suggests that her association with war is a result of a confusion between her and the Badb, who she argues was originally a separate figure. She can be interpreted as providing political or military aid, or protection to the king—acting as a goddess of sovereignty, not necessarily a war goddess.
There is a burnt mound site in County Tipperary known as Fulacht na Mór Ríoghna ('cooking pit of the Mórrígan'). The fulachtaí sites are found in wild areas, and usually associated with outsiders such as the Fianna and the above-mentioned männerbund groups, as well as with the hunting of deer. The cooking connection also suggests to some a connection with the three mythical hags who cook the meal of dogflesh that brings the hero Cúchulainn to his doom. The Dá Chich na Morrigna ('two breasts of the Mórrígan'), a pair of hills in County Meath, suggest to some a role as a tutelary goddess, comparable to Anu, who has her own hills, Dá Chích Anann ('the breasts of Anu') in County Kerry. Other goddesses known to have similar hills are Áine and Grian of County Limerick who, in addition to a tutelary function, also have solar attributes.
Arthurian legend[edit]
There have been attempts by some modern authors of fiction to link the Arthurian character Morgan le Fay with the Morrígan. Morgan first appears in Geoffrey of Monmouth's Vita Merlini (The Life of Merlin) in the 12th century. However, while the creators of the literary character of Morgan may have been somewhat inspired by the much older tales of the goddess, the relationship ends there. Scholars such as Rosalind Clark hold that the names are unrelated, the Welsh "Morgan" (Wales being the source of Arthurian legend) being derived from root words associated with the sea, while the Irish "Morrígan" has its roots either in a word for "terror" or a word for "greatness".[37]

Sebastian Vettel has apologised for swearing during the podium interview in Abu Dhabi, which was broadcast live.
Finishing third after a thrilling grand prix that saw the Red Bull driver start from the pit lane, a joyous Vettel said there was "obviously a chance to f*** it up and we didn't do that."
The German's cussing came just minutes after race winner Kimi Raikkonen also swore during the podium interviews.
Vettel has apologised.
"I'm terribly sorry for using the wrong word on the podium and I'm sorry if I have offended anyone who was watching," said the 25-year-old.
"In the heat of the moment, I didn't use the right words and I apologise. I'll do it better next time."
The two drivers swearing on the podium led to the FIA writing a "friendly" letter to all the teams asking everyone to mind their language.
The letter, written by director of communications Norman Howell, stated that it "shines an unwelcome beam of adverse publicity on their teams and sponsors, the sport and FIA."

I decided to do a project that could be done from the couch, and that would give my kids something new to do! Felt food! They love to have pretend picnics in the living room, so I decided to add to their "food" selections.
Here's a nice little Japanese dinner to share!!
Complete with Sushi...
Gyoza... (a favorite in my house growing up, and now a favorite in my own house. My dad went on a mission to Japan) I made them the same way as this tutorial.
and some shrimp!
Of coarse they needed some pastries for dessert. Not at all in sync with the Japanese meal, but oh well!!
I also gave a banana a try, idea from Craftiness is Not Optional. I love the slices of banana, but I wasn't happy with my banana itself. I just kinda winged it. I'll have to give it another try sometime, maybe get some tips from Jess! Hers is SOOOOOOO much cuter then mine!!
Anyway, that's what today has consisted of. Don't be surprised if I keep coming back with more. It's nice to have something to do that my kids reap the benefits from. And get a break from the television. (sigh.)

Tips For Serving Beer
Information courtesy of the Beer Institute
Storing Beer
Most people prefer drinking beer which is chilled to about 40° to 42° degrees Fahrenheit. This is the temperature that shows beer at its delicious best: cool enough to be refreshing, but not so cold that the nuances of flavor are suppressed. It's a temperature best obtained by storing beer on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator, away from the freezer section or coldest compartment. Once removed from the refrigerator, beer should be served before it warms up.
For a large party, warm beer may be chilled in any large container—there are many attractive, jumbo, lightweight plastic receptacles that can be bought for a party and repurposed afterward for storage, laundry or trash. Fill with ice, let the ice melt and add cold water. Keep the beer bottles in this cold water. You can check the water temperature with a thermometer and add more ice if it's warming up.
General Storage
When you purchase more beer than you can keep in your refrigerator, store it in a cool, dark place away from the light. This helps protect its body and strength.
Serving Beer
Opening The Bottle
Open your bottles with care: be sure not to shake or agitate them. Use bottle openers that are in good condition. Faulty openers can cause chipping or cracking of bottles.
Choosing The Right Glass
Beer is more enjoyable when served in a clear glass vessel. The tall tapering pilsner and the graceful stemmed goblet are especially popular glasses for entertaining: they enable an elegant presentation of a relatively inexpensive beverage. Of course, beer tastes just fine when served from virtually any glassware, ceramic or pewter mug.
The most important tip is that you'll get the best sparkle in your beer when your glassware sparkles. Any trace of grease, soap or lint from a towel will cut down on beer enjoyment. A clean beer glass is necessary to acquire the proper foam and flavor. If washed properly, there will be no bubbles clinging to the side of the glass. The foam will adhere to the inside of the glass in a ring design.
To get your glassware squeaky clean if you hand wash, use a soap-free, odorless cleaning agent. Baking soda is excellent, too. Always rinse glasses thoroughly in clean, cool running water and allow them to drain freely and air dry. If you are using a dishwasher, use liquid detergent and a glass sparkling agent. Another tip from the experts is to dip the clean glasses into cold rinse water right before filling and serving.
For picnics, barbecues and large informal parties, paper and plastic cups are often used for convenience and safety. Large glasses of hard, clear plastic are preferable for the enjoyment of fine beer: they enable the visual enjoyment of the color and foam. If you prefer to use paper, buy coated cups to avoid imparting any "papery" taste.
Pouring The Brew
There's an art to pouring beer. Some people like a high foamy collar; some prefer a short one. You can obtain a fine creamy head by letting the beer splash into the glass. A good way to achieve the kind of foam you desire is to tilt the glass and begin pouring the beer down the side, then straighten the glass and pour into the center. You will quickly learn how to build a high or low head by varying the distance between the bottle and the glass.
A number of experts recommend that you pour beer directly into the glass. They claim you have a better-looking glass of beer this way, and that it's more flavorful. But as with most things, it's your personal preference that's most important.
Drinking The Brew
No advice needed here beyond (1) life's too short to enjoy anything but the best beer, and (2) drink responsibly.

Walras' Law states that summation of pi Ei(p) = 0 for all pi. We define Ei(p) = xi(p) - qi(p) - Ri. What are the next steps that I should take?

This question came from our site for professional and academic economists and analysts.
Let $i$ denote an agent; $j$ denote the good.
Walras' law: $p.e(p)=0$ for all $p$.
Start with the budget constraint:
$\sum_{j} p_j.x_{ij}=\sum_{j} p_j.w_{ij}$ where $w_{ij}$ is $i$'s endowment of good $j$, $x_{ij}$ is $i$'s consumption of good $j$.
In other words, $\sum_{j} p_{j}.e_{ij}=0$, where $e_{ij}=x_{ij}-w_{ij}$.
Now just add over all agents $i$. You get $\sum_{j}p_j.e_j=0$, where $e_j=\sum_i e_{ij}$ for each $j$. This is Walras' Law. Note that this applies to ALL $p$ - regardless of whether it's the equilibrium price.

This week the Nashville Symphony Orchestra takes on the "most famous four notes in the universe," as conductor Giancarlo Guerrero describes the opening of Beethoven's beloved Fifth Symphony in C-minor.
"Beethoven's Fifth" also is the name of the three-night concert series, running Thursday through Saturday evening. The performances will be recorded for future release.
Haydn's "Hornsignal" symphony, a showcase for the orchestra's horn section, opens the program. Next, Stephen Paulus' concerto "Three Places of Enlightenment" highlights violinists Jun Iwasaki and Carrie Bailey, violist Daniel Reinker and cellist Anthony LaMarchina.
In the second half, Paulus' "The Veil of Tears," a movement from a larger work called "To Be Certain of the Dawn," precedes the Beethoven piece.
Playing a piece of music as iconic as this has its challenges, but also presents opportunities for rediscovering a classic. To that end, Guerrero is approaching the piece as though it's new to him.
"I wanted to make a point of learning the piece as if I'd never heard of Beethoven, never heard of Beethoven 5," he says, using musician's shorthand for the symphony. "If this were a new piece, a world-premiere commission, what would I do with it?"

Test ID: LEVE
Levetiracetam, Serum
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Monitoring serum concentration of levetiracetam, particularly in patients with renal disease
Assessing compliance
Assessing potential toxicity
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Levetiracetam is approved for treatment of partial, myoclonic, and tonic-clonic seizures, and is used off-label for manic states and migraine prophylaxis. Levetiracetam has very favorable pharmacokinetics with good bioavailability and rapid achievement of steady state. Its hepatic metabolism is minimal and non-oxidative, making it safe for use with hepatic enzyme inducers or inhibitors. The major metabolite is a carboxylic acid derivate, which is inactive and accounts for roughly one quarter of the administered dose. Levetiracetam is excreted renally, with a mean half-life of 7 hours in adults and slightly less than that in children. Renal dysfunction may warrant therapeutic monitoring and/or dose adjustment.
Given the lack of drug interactions and favorably pharmacokinetics, the primary uses for therapeutic drug monitoring of levetiracetam are compliance assurance and management of physiological changes such as puberty, pregnancy, and aging. Toxicities associated with levetiracetam use include decreased hematocrit and red blood cell count, decreased neutrophil count, somnolence, asthenia, and dizziness. These toxicities may be associated with blood concentrations in the therapeutic range.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
12.0-46.0 mcg/mL
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Most individuals display optimal response to levetiracetam with serum levels 12 to 46 mcg/mL. Some individuals may respond well outside of this range, or may display toxicity within the therapeutic range, thus interpretation should include clinical evaluation. Toxic levels have not been well established. Therapeutic ranges are based on specimen drawn at trough (ie, immediately before the next dose).
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This test cannot be performed on whole blood.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

No. 21 / Spring 2012 Ready-to-Wear
Search a show by:
If we've been paying attention this season, this much will have become clear about the way to wear a shirt right now: Button it up, tuck it in, and make it do a lot of wardrobe work for the money. Those points of style and practicality were nicely set out by Alessandro Dell'Acqua today in Milan when he plucked out two lovely and crisp Italian menswear-shirting fabrics for his collection and put them in the spotlight. Taking an exactly right shade of light-blue Oxford cloth (perfectly in sync with this summer's predilection for cornflower blues) and a blue/green-and-white-checked cotton madras, he cut shirts, trousers, and pencil skirts, either coordinating them together as total looks or deploying them alone.
The result? Anyone leery of committing to the upcoming spring's all-over printed looks will be considerably cheered up. There is something clean and authentic about Dell'Acqua's classic, preppy materials that cancels out the possibly self-consciously trendy cringe-factor involved in wearing a shirt and trousers made out of matching fabric. Somehow, the way he put together two shirt-and-pant looks made them look like normal everyday wear. And when he added a blue bomber jacket–blouson to match a pencil skirt, it looked terrific.
It's reassuring to find Dell'Acqua back working so confidently in this fresh, but understated way. He's an independent now (No. 21 refers to the date of his birth, in December), and the change of name has given him the opportunity to move on from the flesh-revealing cocktailwear he used to ply. He's still using his favorite lace, but turning it into, say, an anorak or a skirt. He is also quietly extending his great expertise in knitwear to make a cable-stitch sweater coolly inset with even more lace. There's much more in this collection than great shirting and good knitwear, but from the point of view of fashion, those are the Dell'Acqua contributions worth studying. In truth, he could have done even better by distilling his collection down to just those pieces—when, later in the show, he moved into the sub-Gauguin-style prints and obligatory pajama suits, it was just a distraction.

Roberta M Benvin
A beginning quilting class in an adult education program in 1984 initiated Roberta Benvin as a quilter. Four years later, she was elected president of the York Quilters Guild in Pennsylvania, and also began four years of employment in a quilt shop. Within a few months, Roberta was teaching classes at the shop and eventually took over the quilting classes for the adult education program. While working in the quilt shop, Roberta restored antique quilts in response to requests from customers. The restoration has since developed into a full-time business. Roberta's passion for antique quilts has led to her involvement in the York County Quilt Documentation Project of Pennsylvania which gave Roberta the opportunity to examine numerous early nineteenth-century quilts. Her recent quilting projects have focused primarily on making reproductions of antique quilts, resulting in her awareness of a need for authentic quilting designs from the early 1800s. Roberta has resided in York County, Pennsylvania, since 1969, and has three grown children.

|Megapickles Vermont Photo Blog
I've written previously about how much I enjoy Megapickles, a daily photo blog by John Hughes, a professor at Saint Michael's. The Vermont landscapes and architectural photographs are well done and fortunately they make up the bulk of John's work. If you want to see what Vermont look like to a superb photographer, this is where you can find what you're looking for. The photo shown in the screen capture above is a good example. The reduced size here takes much away from how striking this photo is so please click the link and see the original. In fact, I suggest you go to the Megapickles website and see especially the photos posted between Sept 4 and Sept 11.
When I visit John's photo blog I'm reminded that there are many beautiful places all around the world and I'm fortunate to live in one of them.

|Moose Watch
Photo credit: www.central-vt.com/moose "Montpelier, Vermont, the nation's smallest capital city had an unexpected visitor Monday, July 19th as a moose wandered leisurely during the lunch hour. This picture was taken by an administrative assistant at Vermont State Housing Authority on 1 Prospect in the city. A co-worker, Lindsay White, remarked that she loves the ruralness of Vermont, and this was the exclamation point of the day! "
I think the most frequent question we get from guests is "Where's a good place for dinner?" A close second is "Where can we go to see moose?"
Answering the first question is easy because we have dozens of good restaurants in the immediate area.
Answering the second question is tougher because we don't have dozens of moose hanging around nearby. We have one (perhaps more) around the inn that must come through about once a week judging by the fresh tracks we see that often. In fact a guest and his family last week pulled into our driveway one evening to find a moose standing right in front of them just a few yards off Route 100.
Moose are most frequently in remote, rural areas but they are located all over the state and, as seen in the photo above, they can even wander into a city This one was spotted in downtown Montpelier, the state capital. Once in a while deer are seen feeding on the state capitol lawn in the evenings but moose are a very rare sight in the city.
We have more moose road signs I think than actual moose. The last time I saw a statistic, the VT Fish & Wildlife Division estimated our herd between 4,000 and 5,000. In fact, the last two moose hunting seasons, F&W increased the number of permits to help reduce the size of the herd. This year, they reduced the number of permits back to 700 something. About 200 moose are killed by automobiles each year in Vermont. Moose have little or no fear and they will usually not hesitate to step in front of a car.
When I'm asked about where to see a moose, I tell people that you need a lot of luck to see one. For instance, the photo at the top of this blog was taken by a guest a few years ago through the windshield of his car. By the time he got the car pulled over and stopped to get out and take a better quality photo, the moose had already walked across the road (Route 100 between Warren and Granville) and was headed up into the woods. The point is that if he had left from our inn a minute earlier or a minute later, he would have missed the moose entirely.
But having explained that, we suggest the area around Island Pond, VT for good moose watching. Island Pond is a good central location for exploring the most remote part of Vermont known as the Northeast Kingdom (NEK).
The Appalachian Mountain Club website has a little primer on moose watching you might like to read. Note especially the warnings about getting close to these animals. They're not known for being aggressive but they are wild animals and you can never be sure whether they will attack. A mother moose (cow) will almost certainly be aggressive if she is with a calf.
An even better article is on the Island Pond, VT town website .
Route 105 is Vermont's "Moose Alley" but other roads such as 114, 111, 5 and 16 are worth driving as well. The back roads are also worth exploring but make sure you have enough gas in the tank before heading into backcountry.
But I would not go to the NEK just to see moose. I'd go to see the countryside with the idea that seeing a moose would be a special bonus.
Here is an enjoyable double (!) moose sighting video shot in the NEK by jenawesome
Good luck on your moose hunt! And drive carefully, especially at night.

I just found out that Magic Hat Brewing is having a "#9tacular" event tomorrow to celebrate 09-09-09, September 9, 2009. There's no mention of the next one a thousand years from now so it's best to attend this event which will be held on Church Street in Magic Hat's hometown of Burlington VT.
Magic Hat has a special affinity to nines because of one of the brewery's most popular beers is named #9. And if there's anything this company likes almost as much as beer, it's having a good time.
#9tacular starts at 6:00 pm and goes 'till 10:00. That's pm, not the next morning. There will be live karaoke, a performance by The Rubblebucket Orchestra band, a laser light show, a scavanger hunt to benefit the non-profit Burlington City Arts, and a chance to win a very cool #9 cruiser bike (contest ends Sept 18).
If you can't travel to Vermont for this, there will be many other #9tacular events around the country that may be nearer for you.

Media breaking news reports.
The United States has just had a school shooting incident at a elementary school. As in the case of the Colorado shooting the media made initial assessments, some right and some wrong, that went on for hours and interviews with students and those in the know. Links to the Tea Party, and all sorts of claims went on the air with absolutely no proof or even foundation.
There is one station in our area that says ... we have a report that XXX has occured and we will get back to you when we have a full and accurate report.
So the question is: Should the media wait for facts, stop making the news, and return to reporting the event. A interview with anyone who is involved is more emotional than factual and will be used by lawyers later. Should these people be protected from the media until debriefing has occured and a full picture is available and evidence obtained.
How do you view this?
Fritzie -
Dec 14 2012: I think if there is any chance the shooter is at large, that needs to be reported fast, even if it is not a certainty. This is practical, safety-related information that anyone for miles around needs to know in order to take precautions.
- +2
But there is no reason to report the name of the shooter before it is verified and every reason not to.
Dec 14 2012: Do you think the media is trying to run at tweet speed fritzie? I've noticed over the last 5 years there is like......the tempo has picked up, a nervous quality to the reporting.
A shooter named? What's going on? Are they trying to communicate the actual onsite second by second event? This isn't good if the media start using assumption before the facts are in, too much "I need the data yesterday" before the professionals have had a chance to work the scene.
If anything the police should have given a media conference if the shooter was still at large. I've yet to look at the news reports on the unfortunate event but from what Rob states, it isn't good.
Dec 15 2012: The shooter in this case killed himself as part of the rampage, according to report. That he was not at large mattered in an immediate way to me because my eldest daughter lives thirty miles from there.
I read that the news had first mistakenly named the brother (who was not near the incident- rather, at work all day in a different state) as the shooter and then corrected themselves.
I think news outlets pride themselves as being the first with information. I don't know whether they get the info first from Twitter?
Comment deleted
Dec 15 2012: Dude, That was an excellent tag. Thank you. I think the Doc is right on. Thumbs up.
All the best. Bob.Dec 15 2012: Things hardly turn out well when money is the first and most important consideration. Media organisations are under pressure to sensationalize, and to stretch the truth, and to lie. Just about anything in their perenial interest in "good copy" (news that sells commercial air time or gets hits online).
Journalists who gain access to sensitive material and publish it may be said not only to report the news but also to create conditions for more 'news' to report.
I hope things would not get out of hand in a disastrous way before something is done to restore responsible journalism.
Dec 15 2012: We are the buyers of the news industry products. They offer unverified reports and we accept them. They make money. Hmmm.

Dec 15 2012: Here's the formula: Scoop = Ratings=Money. No media advertises "You heard it it here after we fact checked everything." No, they all advertise "You heard it here FIRST". There was once a penalty for printing or broadcasting bogus news. I don't think there is any more. My answer to your question is AbsotutelyYes. (Have a look at the current TED talk by Markham Nolan about this very subject).Dec 19 2012: Yes I remember when it first happened no one could understand what was going on, too little information. And to be honest the little knowledge makes one terrified of the *unknown*. Just don't agree with the chaos and the unprofessional way of conveying news.
- +1
But see, prestigious news corporations, like BBC, DO state that these are uncertain information and they have not checked its credibility yet.
Another point I would like to add is after the shooting, some professionals in the field of psychology and criminology have stated that the excitement news agencies add to news, somehow, glorify the act in many distorted teen minds. As they reviewed some diaries of young mass killers, they could see how many of them killed tens just to be famous, to be respected, regarded and to feel important.Dec 17 2012: "So the question is: Should the media wait for facts, stop making the news, and return to reporting the event. A interview with anyone who is involved is more emotional than factual and will be used by lawyers later. Should these people be protected from the media until debriefing has occured and a full picture is available and evidence obtained."
Yes, this should not be mandated but the media should be cautious out of respect for the victims, to avoid the possibility of erroneous reporting and avoid making the perp appear as more than he is.Dec 16 2012: In the case of the breaking news the mdia should report what is happening at that moment that it happens because this is something that needs to be known right away being that someone watching the news could be affected with that particular situation at the time. I think interviews should be conducted even if it is emotional depending because sometimes emotions bring out the truth. This evidence should be used at the time in court because sometimes when an interviewed is done weeks later people tend to forget or leave out actual facts that could help in solving the case.Dec 16 2012: This guy was different Maybe he would have been a shaman in a different time and place. Crazy now and here. That doesn't mean that better treatment and coverage as some of you have suggested. We can sell soap and politicans Why not eliminate this behavior through the media?Dec 16 2012: Is there any NEWS in media really .....?Dec 15 2012: Well we had a public institution for those with mental conditions then it was downgraded to a community based system where mild cases can go to special units for a respite if and when they felt a spiral coming on.
We've had one massacre like this but that was before we went community based, an isolated individual who didn't know he had built a fortress around him of invisible walls that only he could feel. It was before the net was introduced in my country and in an isolated lifestyle beach side community.
Why kids? A good number of these sad events ends up with kids lives being taken.Dec 15 2012: Linda, I didn't have an agenda. I left a comment about guns that I should have known would get some panties in a knot. Judging by the aggressive tone in your reply I can see that it is best that I keep my comeback to myself, it would probably upset you further and that was not my intent. I appreciate having conversations with people whose opinions are different than my own but when it gets personal and mean I'm no longer interested. See ya.
Dec 17 2012: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/12/16/i-am-adam-lanzas-mother-mental-illness-conversation_n_2311009.htmlDec 15 2012: Edward, we have each had our say. We will probably never see eye to eye on this. I genuinely hope that you never have to use your gun to protect yourself or your family from someone with a gun.Dec 15 2012: The problem is obvious. At one point the TV and radio news organizations practiced journalism. They now freely admit that they are part of the entertainment industry. What we see on the major media is tragedy being presented as entertainment. When you see it in that perspective, you can see that they are doing a very good job of it.
It would be good to be able to turn on the TV and see journalism, but the market is just not big enough.Dec 15 2012: I think Edward hit the major factor ... money. The paprrazzi operates on the basis of a picture can be sold to a major magizine for a small fortune of royality, rich, or famous. They were cited as the cause of Diana's accident. They take photos from a mile off ... they crowd a moving car for pictures and try to sue when their foot is ran over on a public road. They tap phones and trespass to achieve a goal. But the risk is outweighed by the rewards. I sat a plane with a staff member of a trash mag and he said that they often have to pay a million or two to someone but they sell hundereds of millions worth of magizines ... so again the benefits outweighs the risk.
The media identified Ryan Lanza as the shooter this week when it was really Adam Lanza. For two or three hours I heard Ryan and now even with the truth known I first think of Ryan. It is sad that Ryan was related but even sadder that he will be thought of in association of the shooting for years to come.
So in the end it is us the consumer that demands the lurid photos, the bloody scene, the raw facts, the sexual inside story. Without a market it would go away or at least be put in perspective. As I go through the checkout stand I read that "She is having Elvis' baby" in big bold type. As I watch a few grab the paper and begin reading. It sells.
As you bring up MSN, Yahoo, or whatever home page what are the headlines. Often some movie star getting busted, maybe a wardrobe slip up, a sports star in trouble, or a rapper killing or being killed. Who won the Nobel Ptrize in on page 32. The old saying is that blood leads is the media standard.
PT Barnum said ... I don't care what you print as long as you spell my name right. He is right. The most important thing in politics is name recognition.
So yellow journalism will continue as long as they can call you names on page one .... and print a "I'm sorry" on page 47 .... and the court says all is well.Dec 15 2012: This raises the question, "Who is responsible? The media for getting out news as fast as possible or the public for taking the breaking news reports as undisputed fact?" While I am against the media being manipulative, I must ask how much of the situation depends on the viewer's assessment of what he/she sees? I personally am skeptical of those emotional interviews discussed in the opening post. Should we as viewers realize that breaking news might be a little off while it first being reported? I personally would rather know as much as I can as fast as I can. I would want to know the major details such as where it is and if it is dangerous as soon as I could. The finer details could be told later. I think delaying reporting the event until the further evidence is obtained would be a worse scenario.Dec 15 2012: GUNS KILL.
That is where my head is at only hours after this tragedy. I can't even begin thinking about the media...
Edited~ I am not going to respond to all the comments this is apparently going to elicit. Your "reasoning" is wasted on me and angers/sickens/frightens/confuses me deeply. I'm not interested in disputing your ridiculous arguments as I fully know where it will go. Nowhere.
Linda Taylor
Dec 15 2012: So tired of the "guns kill" mantra.
- +1
Based on hunting licenses, there were over 600,000 hunters
this season in the state of Wisconsin ..
Over the last several months, Wisconsin's hunters became the eighth largest army in
the world.
More persons under arms than in Iran.
More than France and Germany combined.
These men and women deployed to the woods of a single American state, Wisconsin, to hunt with firearms, and no one was killed.
That number pales in comparison to the 750,000 who hunted the woods of Pennsylvania and
Michigan's 700,000 hunters, all of whom have now returned home safely.
Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia and it literally establishes the fact that the
hunters of those four states alone would comprise the largest army in the world.
And then add in the total number of hunters in the other 46 states. It's millions more.
That's why all enemies, foreign and domestic, want to see us disarmed.
Maybe we should be treating the mentally ill instead of talking about guns. This young man was the age where schizophrenia manifests symptoms. Anybody talking about that?
Dec 15 2012: Just because 1000's of hunters use LONG GUNS safely in hunting does mean that the general public should have easy access to HANDGUNS. This argument does not hold any weight.
(On a separate note...I sign off wondering how there are any animals even left in America if this info. is accurate)
Dec 15 2012: Oh I see, it's not ALL guns that kill, only the ones that you decide. Animals are left in America because we have a lot of people working really hard to make sure the population is sustainable for the environment in which they live.
Why are we still talking guns? This was NOT about guns but about mental illness, lack of recognition, access and treatment. I hate when people deflect from the real problem for their own unsubstantiated agendas.Dec 15 2012: I wonder how many shoot each other by accident. For some unknown reason our hunters have been killing each other by mistake and the public that venture into the deep bush in the last 5 years but we don't view this as deliberate, our bush can turn you around, many a young tourist has gone missing in it and have never been found. Even in today's communication soaked world, no ones going to put a tower in the middle of no where.
Dec 15 2012: Those statistics are available here and no one was hurt this year. Our state mandates hunter safety classes to issue licenses and they cover safety in hunting including not going out by yourself. no matter if you are going out with long guns, handguns, or bow. I had to smile about the tower though, we use tree stands.Dec 18 2012: Some bright sparks out there should develop a few apps that can be downed but once installed upon the installee's permission links the searcher to private and confidential services outside of ones own doctors. The services must be free and could be mostly online, Patient confidentiality in today's facebook world still has weight, if people can use these app's that are heavily guarded against hacking then we might find people might use them.Dec 18 2012: I think Obama has been backed into a corner over the guns issue, if i was him i would of used an executive order and shutdown all media reporting of his visit to newtown until he made his speech out of respect to the families, maybe this time a small part of your country could have had him to themselves just for a bit.Dec 15 2012: People Kill! Sometimes they use guns, or knives, or poison, or stones, or bombs, or their bare hands, but the killing is ALWAYS done by PEOPLE.
Dec 15 2012: If that mentally ill man did not have access to a handgun, I wonder how many people he would have been able to murder yesterday.
edward long
Dec 15 2012: No doubt there might well have been fewer losses if he had used Molotov Cocktails, or machetes. Not much comfort there. Sometimes the low-hanging fruit is not the best choice. A ban on guns is the low-hanging fruit in this issue. Guns are a more efficient way to kill, after all, that's what they are made for. However, a tiny, almost immeasurably small fraction of all those who possess guns use them to commit evil deeds. (See Ms. Taylor's comment above). The root cause of these horrid crimes is not guns. Would we feel better if the body counts were only 10% of what they are? Would the problem be less devastating? It's the people doing the killing that are the problem, not how they kill. I grieve with you, Ms. deWet, for the untold pain and suffering resulting from this tragedy. But let me keep my gun so I can protect my children against such acts. Thank you!Dec 14 2012: What is it with Killing kids?
- +1
Anyway this is just a small portion of how this news has gone worldwide and how it saddens all people everywhere. This is so sad.
http://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/2012/12/27_killed.html#commentsDec 14 2012: The media has a big habbit of publicizing any and all information even remotely relevent to the subject matter and I really do doubt there is any reason for it other than the pursuit of profit.
The number of times I've seen full front page pictures of crime suspects with their names, towns, occupations, previous history etc etc only to then be acquitted, is absurd and such 'facts' shouldn't be legal.
A newspaper/news station/ news show/ news article should be exactly that --NEWS.
Not opinion, not lies, not slander, not unfounded ideas, not ideological spin. Just news
(and the lack of that being the case is probably the foundation of the issue at hand).

Gran Puri Hotel
Hotel Gran Puri Manado was established with the commitment to deliver a top class quality for its guest, whether they come to spend their nights or just to experience the many facilities that our Hotel offered.
"Experience your stay..." is the hotel's slogan, this slogan is closely related to our commitment in making our guests experienced a fabulous and unforgettable stay with us. In late 1997, we opened the hotel under the name of Hotel Century Manado and was managed by the Century International Hotels chain.
Due to the need to have more independence and flexibility in the new millennium, we decided to manage the hotel by ourselves, and that was the rebirth of Hotel Gran Puri Manado. PT. Gapura Utarindo International acts as the new management of this hotel starting on the first January of 2001.
Hotel Gran Puri Manado is a Boutique type hotel consisting of 152 rooms and located at the city center of Manadol; in addition, it meets the international hotel standards. This hotel was designed as a bright and modern hotel in North Sulawesi to accomodate the large overseas and domestic markets. Particular emphasis had been placed on the interiors and the decors of the hotel's furniture; thus, the hotel can best be described as a contemporary hotel with a touch of classic Indonesian accents.
To reach the standard achievements of our hotel, we offer the best services and facilities such as 24 hours coffee shop, club, swimming pool, exotic spa, conference and banquet room, supermarket and department store, and many other preferences.
Within the Hotel boundaries - development and progress are continuous ( ini 5 words italicized). We offered many different tour choices of outdoor adventure that will make your stay in Manado more exciting; for example, highland tour package, sightseeing, rafting, fishing, hiking, golving, snorkeling and diving. For those people who loves diving, we also provided an easy access by boat to top class diving sites on Bunaken Island which is located about 45 minutes from the hotel. These tours can be found at the hotel tour desk. Located within easy reach to both Manado business and leisure facilities and within walking distance to Stadium Klabat, home of Manado football team.
This popular"downtown" address allows fast and easy access to the best shopping centers. Moreover, the Sports and leisure facilities nearby include a well maintained 9 hole golf course and indoor tennis court (available only to Gran Puri guests).
As Sam Ratulangi International airpirt in Manado grew bigger, it encourages people to come visit and experience what Manado can offer. Besides domestic flights, we also have direct flights from Malaysia by Air Asia, Singapore by Silk Air, Taiwan by Garuda Indonesia Airlines, and Philippine by Kartika Airlines, etc.

Sorry, product information is unavailable at this time.
Similasan is dedicated to helping families feel good about feeling better. Their gentle remedies help provide natural temporary symptomatic relief from ailments of the eyes, ears, nose, head, and chest.
Originating in Jonen, Switzerland in 1987, the Similasan brand became popular across Europe. Today, Similasan natural remedies are widely used and well-respected in North America. Their success is due to a commitment to provide relief of symptoms the natural way—by engaging the body's natural defenses to support the immune system. To combat common ailments of the eye, ear, nose, throat, head, and chest, all of Similasan natural remedies contain high quality ingredients that help temporarily relieve symptoms. Similasan is a family doctor-recommended brand*.
Homeopathy is an independent process that works in harmony with the body's immune system. Homeopathy works from the inside out, helping the body to defend against conditions and provide temporary relief. In contrast to traditional medicine, homeopathy supports the body's natural defenses instead of suppressing the symptoms. The homeopathic mode of action is similar in theory to an allergy or flu shot.
In the production of Similasan homeopathic remedies, their natural active ingredients (originating from minerals, plants, or animals) undergo a process of serial dilution, where a microdilution is created. The concentration of that microdilution is represented by an "X". For example, an ingredient diluted to the level of 6X contains 0.0000001% of the active ingredient, thus, the active ingredients in their homeopathic remedies are very diluted and gentle enough for children as young as 2.
Every Similasan product is formulated using traditional homeopathic guidelines and manufactured in accordance with the FDA's Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), so you can feel good about providing comfort for your family with Similasan natural remedies.
*Based on a 2013 Similasan quantitative study of 202 primary care physicians and physicians who were open to homeopathic treatments (82% selection rate).
Eye Drops: Similasan, doctor-recommended*, homeopathic eye drops are formulated with natural active ingredients. Similasan drops work in harmony with your body to provide temporary relief from common eye aliments such as redness, watering, dryness, burning, grittiness and irritation. Unlike other drops, they contain no vasoconstrictors or harsh chemicals, so they are gentle enough to use as needed when symptoms occur.
Ear Drops: Similasan, doctor-recommended*, homeopathic ear drops are formulated with natural active ingredients. Similasan ear drops work to support your body's natural ability to provide temporary relief from symptoms of aching, throbbing, clogging, sensation of fullness, trapped water, discomfort, and sensitivity to drafts and cold.
Nasal Sprays: Similasan, doctor-recommended*, homeopathic nasal sprays are formulated with natural active ingredients. Similasan nasal sprays are preservative free and work in harmony with the body to alleviate symptoms of congestion. They are gentle enough to use as needed when symptoms occur to soothe & moisturize the sinuses.
Cold and Cough Syrups: Similasan, doctor-recommended*, homeopathic cough and cold syrups are formulated with natural active ingredients. They work in harmony to boost the body's natural defenses against colds and flus. Similasan cold and cough syrups are non-drowsy, sugar free, alcohol free, dye free, gluten free and do not contain artificial flavorings. Similasan cough and cold syrups are naturally sweet and even diabetic friendly.
Kids: Similasan, pediatrician-recommended*, homeopathic kids products are formulated with natural active ingredients. They work in harmony with the body to temporarily relieve cold and flu symptoms including cough, fever, hoarse throat, nasal congestion, chest congestion, ear throbbing, ear aching, eye burning and eye dryness. Similasan knows that cold and flu symptoms manifest throughout the chest, ears and eyes, that's why the products are made to be used together as a total cough and cold solution for kids ages 2 and up.
Sleep Management: Doctor-recommended*, Similasan Sleeplessness Relief is formulated with natural active ingredients. It works in harmony with the body to temporarily relieve symptoms of occasional sleeplessness, irregular sleep, agitated sleep, difficulty of falling asleep and excessive dreaming.

In this report, a method is described for generation of a partial digestion pattern for any fragment that can be amplified by PCR. Using a mixture of 5-methyl-dCTP (5mC) and dCTP in PCR protects some of the restriction sites from digestion with 5-methyl-cytosine-sensitive restriction enzymes. After PCR amplification with 5mC, restriction digestion of the modified PCR products with a 5-methyl-cytosine-sensitive enzyme rapidly produces an array of fragments similar to a partial digestion of unmethylated DNA.

Treated symptoms of anxiety and negative thoughts. Helped control sons OCD so it would not interfere with his everyday functioning.Almost totally eleminated it.
In comparing maina with bipolar depression i must say " this is the best script drug I've found available to also treat post pardem depression!" I 've had manic anxiety and have a nine year-old ; finding is that that risperiday heels the unwanted moods and thoughts. My behavior and others behavior can't be controlled by any drug.
It turned me into a different better person.
I hate the fact that I have trouble maintaining a healthy weight. I retain water so I can never have abs like Beyonce. I do not like the fact that I can succumb to diabetes later on in life. It really sucks.

Alzheimer's disease is a difficult diagnosis to make. The only way to be sure is by doing a postmortem autopsy of the brain, and even then it can remain uncertain.
But while researchers are not certain about the cause of this form of dementia that typically occurs in old age, they have noticed some associations between certain lifestyle factors and biomarkers and the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
To get the Alzheimer's Association's list of 10 early warning signs click here.
Below are nine factors that, sometimes for unknown reasons, seem to foretell a higher risk.
The risk of dementia increases with age, and so Alzheimer's is more likely to affect someone as they get older. The risk of Alzheimer's increases after age 75 and increases even further after age 80.
The 3MS exam is a series of questions and answers that helps determine cognitive function and is one of the diagnostic tests a doctor will use for Alzheimer's.
"It's more of an interview, really," said Dr. Sam Gandy, chair of the National Medical and Scientific Advisory Council of the Alzheimer's Association, noting that the test does not look at executive function or spatial ability.
A lower score on this test indicates a higher risk for Alzheimer's.
The DSST requires more abstract thought than the 3MS and is generally considered a better evaluation test in people with higher levels of cognition. It involves showing patients various digits and symbols and describing them to the examiner in their own words. Lower scores on this metric indicate a higher Alzheimer's risk.

Maintaining a healthy body weight is important in preventing Alzheimer's disease, and it seems that works both ways. Having a BMI below 18.5, the lower end of the "healthy" range, is associated with an increased risk for developing the illness.
While there is no definite genetic test for Alzheimer's, a specific variant of the APOE gene, e4, has been associated with an increased risk. It remains unclear how they are connected, but the present theory is that it inclines people to accumulate amyloids on the brain.
"There are more people with Alzheimer's because they have [that gene] than with any known genetic risk factor," said Gandy.
He said that half of all people with the Alzheimer's have the gene. While people may have zero, one or two copies of the gene, with each copy tripling the risk, Gandy noted that some people with two copies in their 80s and 90s still do not have Alzheimer's, "probably because they have some strong protective genes."
The presence of white matter on an MRI is associated with increased Alzheimer's risk, although scientists are not entirely sure how the two connect. One theory is that the blood-brain barrier is not entirely intact, owing to the presence of amyloids.
Enlarged heart ventricles, thicker carotid artery walls and a past coronary bypass surgery can all signal a higher Alzheimer's risk.
"This is an area of a lot of recent interest," said Gandy. "It's clearly a type risk between ... risk of atherosclerosis and risk of Alzheimer's disease."
