There are people using the comments section of this page to pose as social workers or Mexican Consulate and Embassy employees. Don't be fooled.
» Can I visit Mexico without a visa?
Comments on this Consulate-General
No one answers the phone, I have left 3 voicemails for someone who is supposed to assist in making appointments, and sent 3 emails. No return calls and no emails. I sincerely hope Mexican nationals are receiving better service than I am!
The phone tree needs fixing. It literally makes loops, and none of the extentions lead to anything except the initial phone tree. And the alternate number is only consistently busy.
But perhaps someone out there knows the answer - how do I serve divorce papers to someone in Mexico???
I have received excellent and patient service from Blanca. I couldn't reach the office via telephone, but my email was answered within 24hrs and Blanca has assisted me quickly and kindly with the information I need, and hopefully I will receive my visa in time.
Thank you to the hard work and kindness, Blanca!
I have been trying to be in contact with someone about visa information. I have called multiple times and sent multiple emails, but I have received no responses.
I am a US Citizen born of a Mexican mother who became a US Citizen years after my birth. I would like to apply for dual citizenship. What do I need to do/know to start this process.
thank you!
Do not dial the main number. It keeps looping you back to the main menu. There is no one home. There is no live person to communicate your issues with and no one responds to your email. This is absurd!
How is one to make an appointment to to see the person who handles Temporary and Permanent resident visa's when no one answers the phone.
Hoy tube cita y no sinve de nada el personal es nada professional desde los security guards hasta la cajera. Es triste y vergonsoso que Sean asi. Despues de mas de 5 horas. Y muchos corajes me hablaron para recivir mi pasaporte puse UN comentario y lo borraron. Es triste que ni los empleados hablen singles y se enojen porque el español de uno no es bueno.
Señores y Señoras del consul este comentario espero no sea borrado es mi derecho de Dar mi opinion.
Espero mejoren y contraten personas con educacion y preparada para Que no se les critique.
I thought the point of making an appointment was to speed up the process. Specially because of the demand of documents. When I arrived there was no signs at sight to direct traffic, I asked the security guard, and not amused he asked if I had an appointment I said Yes, and pointed to my left and said take a sit over there. I asked will someone call my name or number? And again he said I will call you when they are ready for you. When I checked in the lady was polite and helpful, when my name was called the gentleman was chatting with everyone while I stand there he asked to spell my sister's last name and I spelled it in English and he said "Can you spell it in Spanish". My Spanish isn't great but shouldn't everyone speak English here? The cashier was not helpful she was too busy complaining about how she was not trusted enough there. After three attempts I was told to come back in two hrs to Window #9. Overall very disappointed at the service, I can say the people in the waiting area was feeling the same way since I overheard more than a few people complaining.

Esther is incorrect on two fronts. First, in contrast to the Goldstone reports, infected with bias against the Jewish State from the inception, the current indictments are the product of real, objective due process. Second, to criticize the timing is to betray an ignorance of how due process works. Hate away Esther, but don't pretend to know anything about how justice works.

July 2012 Indie Next List
"On George's first day of third grade, his teacher, Mrs. Simms, challenges each student to act like an angel. Throughout the school year, each student has the opportunity to earn a halo. George puts all of his time and effort into the challenge but questions whether he has to act like an angel all of the time -- even when his teacher is not watching. This cute, funny story is another must-read from master storyteller Spinelli."
— Rebecca Olson, Saturn Booksellers, Gaylord, MI
The long-awaited prequel to the bestseller FOURTH GRADE RATS
George, aka "Suds," has just entered third grade, and he's heard the rhyme about "first grade babies/second grade cats/third grade angels/fourth grade rats," but what does this mean for his school year? It means that his teacher, Mrs. Simms, will hold a competition every month to see which student deserves to be awarded "the halo" - which student is best-behaved, kindest to others, and, in short, perfect. Suds is determined to be the first to earn the halo, but he's finding the challenge of always being good to be more stressful than he had anticipated. Does he have to be good even outside of school? (Does he have to be nice to his annoying little sister?) And if Mrs. Simms doesn't actually see him doing a good deed, does it even count?
A warm, funny return to elementary school from master storyteller Spinelli.

Icinga has a very flexible configuration that lets you describe your network and server's infrastructure, and tell Icinga what services you want to monitor and get uptime reports for. You can customize the monitoring behaviour as well as notification methods with plugins. You can also configure handlers that run automatically when a service goes down.
This book gives you a deep insight into setting up automated monitoring for small-scale to large-scale network and server infrastructures. With rising business around cloud computing services such as SaaS, IaaS, and others; service providers have to increase their network infrastructure with a number of servers and services. You will learn to keep tabs on these services to ensure maximum SLA that is promised to the customers.
Icinga comes with ample example configurations that monitor the Icinga server itself. The book analyzes the default sample configuration. You will learn to monitor public services on remote servers, system health of Linux and Windows servers as well as the network devices. You will also look into how to customize the monitoring mechanism with plugins. You will then move towards alerting methods, how they work, and how they can be customized. At the end of the book, you will have a look into the web interface that gives the current status of the entire infrastructure and some reporting tools.

The Eric Priest Show - The Very First One
And thank you for taking the time to read my info. First off allow me to introduce myself. Some of you know me in the Rennfest work as a pirate named Scruffy... Others know me via my online sports commentary - Eric's Sports. That's who this is. My real name is Eric Bujak....but who the hell can remember that name, much less spell it, or /shudders... pronounce it correctly.... So that name was out in regards to creating a radio show. There was a time, earlier in my life when I almost legally changed my name to Eric Priest - this is because I was raised by my mother and grandmother and Priest was my grandmother's last name. Eventually I met my father and decided to rule that idea out. But now I have another use for it - The Eric Priest Show.
So what type of show am I doing ? The Eric Priest show, has been inspired by such broadcasting legends as Howard Stern, Charlie Rose, Charles Lipton (Inside The Actor's Studio), Morton Downey Jr, Robin Quivers, etc...... Basically it is a commentary show, filled with interviews, views of current events, etc. Obviously 2 major areas of interest - Festivals and Sports....It will include music, some comedic bits, etc... and of course interviews. One day, I will be advertising my guests via social media, there will be replays of my show available on Youtube..... and I will be relevant...........
As for music.... a combination of local cover bands and celtic rock / Renaissance Festival music..... unless of course I can land on radio station that pays so that I can play whatever I like.
Thus - The RennRock Radio Network presents - The Eric Priest Show
The Eric Priest Show - Episode 20 - The Rogues Music Debut
Greetings all,

His Mistress by Christmas
By Victoria Alexander
KENSINGTON BOOKSCopyright © 2011 Cheryl Griffin

Chapter OneNovember 30, 1885
"He's the one," Veronica, Lady Smithson, said softly, more to herself than to the woman beside her. She smiled with satisfaction. She did so love it when all went according to plan.
"Shhh." Portia, Lady Redwell, hushed her and gazed with pride at the speaker behind the podium on the stage at the far end of the room.
"... and admittedly, while it was somewhat more adventure than we had bargained for, in hindsight it was not merely exciting but quite remarkable." Sir Sebastian Hadley-Attwater paused in the polished manner of an expert speaker and gazed out at the audience seated before him in the Explorers Club lecture hall.
A knowing smile carved deep dimples in a face that would be altogether too handsome were it not a bit browner than was fashionable. An intriguing scar slanted across his forehead above his right brow. His blue eyes, under hair so dark a blond it was nearly brown, gleamed with humor and intelligence. He scanned the room slowly, and only a woman long in her grave would fail to wonder what it would be like to have those eyes gaze at her and her alone.
Veronica noted the moment he caught sight of his cousin, sitting beside her toward the back of the hall. His eyes lit in recognition, and Portia beamed. Portia's parents had died when she was very young, and her aunt and uncle had taken her in. She'd grown up with Sebastian and six other cousins. He nodded slightly in acknowledgment of her presence, then continued his perusal of the audience. His gaze settled on Veronica briefly, although he was no doubt staring at her hat, one of her most impressive, then continued on.
"In conclusion, allow me to say there is only one thing in life that stirs the senses more than stepping foot upon an unknown land or seeing with your own eyes sights only a handful of your fellow men have ever seen."
His gaze returned to Veronica, this time meeting hers. She raised her chin slightly and cast him a slow smile. A smile of acknowledgment and encouragement, although from what she had heard of the famous adventurer, little encouragement was needed. His exploits with women were as extensive as his adventures in foreign lands, at least according to gossip and Portia.
"And that"—his smile widened and his dimples deepened, if possible—"is at last returning home."
The most delightful sense of anticipation shivered through her. Oh yes, he would do.
Applause erupted from the crowd that had gathered to spend the evening in the illustrious adventurer's presence and listen to his stories of uncivilized lands and unknown peoples. It had been an evening filled with the excitement of daring tales told by a master storyteller. Sir Sebastian had held the crowd in his hands.
Veronica leaned close to her friend and spoke low into her ear. "He's the one."
"I heard you the first time," Portia said absently, clapping with an unusual display of enthusiasm. A proud smile curved her lips. "The one what?"
"The one I want."
"The one you want for what?" Portia's attention remained on Sir Sebastian, who was now accepting the accolades of the crowd in a modest and unassuming manner. While Veronica suspected there was nothing modest and unassuming about the adventurer, his demeanor added to his appeal. He would do nicely.
"And now, as anyone who has heard me speak before will attest, I have been rather more efficient than usual tonight."
An amused chuckle washed through the crowd.
"Therefore we have time for a few questions." Again his gaze sought hers. A challenge sparked in his eyes, as if daring her to do more than meet his gaze. Veronica did indeed have a question, but not one she was prepared to ask. At least, not yet. Immediately a dozen hands shot up. Sir Sebastian pointed to a gentleman toward the front.
"Sir," the man began. "In your third book, you relate an encounter with a tribe during your expedition down the Amazon, and I was curious as to whether ..."
"Oh, yes, he's perfect," Veronica murmured.
Portia snorted in a most unladylike manner. "Nonsense. I was raised with the man. I can tell you any number of ways in which he's not the least bit perfect. Why, I can recall ..." Portia glanced at Veronica. "The one you want for what? What are you talking about?" Her eyes narrowed. "What are you planning?"
"Sir Sebastian." On Veronica's other side, her aunt Lotte rose to her feet. "I should like to know, given your renown as an explorer and adventurer and as I have been told you are most forward thinking ..."
"Stop her." Portia clutched Veronica's arm.
"Would that I could." Veronica patted her friend's hand in a comforting manner and bit back a grin. She should have expected this. Miss Charlotte Bramhall had her own campaign to wage.
"Thank you, ma'am. I do try to be progressive." Sir Sebastian favored Aunt Lotte with his compelling smile. A smile that surely made every other gentleman in the hall wish to be him and every lady wish to be with him. Veronica wondered if the older woman was at all affected.
Apparently not. Aunt Lotte's expression remained firm.
"Excellent." Aunt Lotte nodded. "Then I should like to know your opinion as to the acceptance of women as members of the Explorers Club."
A groan passed through the crowd, and Portia's hand tightened.
Sir Sebastian's brows drew together. "I'm afraid I don't quite understand the question."
"It's very simple, young man. Do you or do you not support full membership for women?"
Sir Sebastian chose his words with obvious care. "It seems to me, as you are here tonight and the lectures of the society are open to all, there is no need to grant full membership to the fairer sex as it would only be a ..." He thought for a moment. "An undue burden, as it were." Again he smiled an altogether pleasant smile, although Aunt Lotte might well interpret it as condescending. Poor man. He might have come face-to-face with uncivilized natives in the far jungles of the globe, but he had never done battle with Miss Charlotte Bramhall. Sir Sebastian continued with innocent disregard for his imminent danger. "It's my understanding that full members residing in London are required to participate fully in all matters regarding governing of the organization."
Veronica winced.
"And you think that a burden?" Aunt Lotte squared her shoulders.
"Rubbish. As progressive as you may be, Sir Sebastian, perhaps you are not aware of the significant advancements made in the last twenty years by women through independent travel and sheer determination. Women who can explore the reaches of the Nile can certainly handle the dubious burden of administration of a mere organization."
"I have no doubt of that." He chuckled. "But, my dear lady, there is also tradition to be considered. Progress cannot be allowed to simply sweep aside traditions that have been nourished through the years."
"Tradition, sir, is simply a male excuse—"
"Miss Bramhall!" Sir Hugo Tolliver, director of the Explorers Club, leaped to his feet, fairly pushed Sir Sebastian away from the podium, and glared at Lotte. "This is neither the time nor the place for a debate as to the merits of membership."
"Do tell me, then ..." Lotte glared right back. "When would you suggest—"
"Now, ladies and gentlemen," Sir Hugo pointedly addressed the crowd. "Refreshments are being served in the foyer, and as is our tradition, Sir Sebastian will be joining us." With that, Sir Hugo escorted Sir Sebastian off the stage and toward the door.
People stood and headed toward the foyer, toward what was more than likely tepid lemonade and the chance to make the personal acquaintance of the adventurous Sir Sebastian.
Lotte stared after them. "What an annoying beast that man is."
Veronica rose to her feet. "I assume you are speaking of Sir Hugo. Sir Sebastian struck me as most cordial and quite charming."
Lotte scoffed. "Cut from the same cloth, no doubt."
"He is a man, dear." Veronica smiled. "We must make allowances."
"Ha." Lotte's brows drew together. "Women have allowed men to get away with this kind of nonsense for centuries. It's past time we took our proper place in society." She glanced at Portia, still seated and trying very hard to look as if she had never met Lotte, or Veronica, either, for that matter. "Are you coming?"
"Of course we are." Portia reluctantly got to her feet. "He is my cousin, after all."
"Then you should take him in hand."
"Go on, Aunt Lotte. We shall meet you there," Veronica said quickly.
"Very well." Lotte started off, determination in the set of her shoulders and the spring in her step.
"Whatever possessed you to bring her with us tonight?" Portia glared at her friend.
"I didn't bring her with us. It was simply a coincidence that she had already planned to attend. A pleasant coincidence."
"Not the word that immediately comes to my mind." Portia huffed. "I was afraid this sort of thing would happen."
"What sort of thing?"
"I knew she would make a spectacle of herself."
"Scarcely that, darling. She simply asked a question." Veronica took Portia's arm, and they started after the crowd streaming toward the exit.
"But what a question! Women as members of the Explorers Club indeed."
"She was entirely right and I quite agree with her, as you well know," Veronica said smoothly. "And if she hadn't asked, I very well might have."
Portia heaved a long-suffering sigh. "I don't know why the women of your family have to be so ... so ..."
"Independent in our thinking? Intelligent and not afraid to show it?"
"Yes," Portia snapped. "It's not at all becoming."
"You'll never find another husband if you don't learn to be more circumspect." A warning sounded in Portia's voice. "Men do not want women who are overly intelligent."
"And I do not want a man who would expect me to be someone I'm not," Veronica said in a lofty manner. "Besides, I have no intention of marrying again."
Portia stopped in mid-step and stared. "Good Lord, Veronica, don't be absurd. Of course you will. I know I will. Although I would prefer to choose a husband myself," Portia added under her breath. In recent months, her well-meaning family had begun a concerted, and not especially subtle, campaign to find Portia a new husband, placing one eligible bachelor after another in her path. "We're women. It's what's expected of us."
Veronica cast her a pleasant smile. "I prefer not to do what's expected of me."
"Yes, I know." Portia rolled her gaze heavenward.
"Furthermore, I don't see why women in our position should be expected to marry."
"And what position is that?"
"Marriage gives women financial security. Even in this day and age women have few ways to provide for themselves." Veronica shrugged. "You and I have independent wealth. Our financial futures are assured. Therefore there is no need to marry."
"No need to marry?" Portia's eyes widened at the blasphemy.
"None at all." She hooked her arm through Portia's and again herded her toward the door.
"But surely you don't intend to spend the rest of your life alone?"
"No, I don't." Veronica shook her head. "It's only been a little more than three years since Charles died, and I am already tired of being alone. And I am not the type of woman to whom the idea of flitting from one man's bed to the next is especially appealing." "Thank God." Relief sounded in Portia's voice.
Veronica smiled. She hadn't yet decided if she would tell Portia exactly what she planned. Still, she might need the other woman's assistance, even though Portia's proper nature might well be too shocked to permit her to render any true aid.
Veronica scanned the crowd in front of them. An indomitable Aunt Lotte was making her way toward the foyer. Through the open doors she could see Sir Sebastian, surrounded by admirers, most of them female. He spoke to everyone who approached him in what, even from this distance, struck Veronica as a charming and gracious manner. It was most admirable.
"Tell me more about your cousin."
"I don't know what more there is to tell." Portia thought for a moment. "You've read one of his books."
"Two actually."
"Then you know of his foolish pursuit of adventure in the guise of expanding man's knowledge of the unknown. I can't bear to read them myself. They're rather heart-stopping, you know."
"But he does know how to tell a story," Veronica murmured. Indeed, she had found his prose to be evocative and even sensual.
"The family hoped he would go into business or study the law. Instead he has spent the last dozen or so years traveling to those places on this earth few civilized men have ventured. It's most distressing."
"Well, it's not law." Veronica bit back a grin.
"He always was something of a rebel as a child. Always doing things he shouldn't. Never following anyone's rules but his own. Still ..." Portia heaved a resigned sigh. "He has always been my favorite."
"Somewhere deep inside you, Portia, you long for adventure."
"My life is rather dull," Portia said under her breath, then realized what she'd said. "Not dull. How absurd. I don't know why I said that."
"Those least likely to bend ..."
"Are most likely to snap. Yes, yes, you've said it before, but it's utter nonsense." Portia scoffed. "I have no intention of bending or snapping."
"Of course not," Veronica said. "You're quite content with your uneventful life."
Portia nodded. "Indeed I am."
Veronica knew better. It struck her on occasion as both odd and remarkable that she and Portia, along with Julia, Lady Winterset, knew one another as well as they did given they hadn't known each other at all until a few years ago. It was chance that they had happened to meet at Fenwick and Sons, Booksellers, but no doubt fate that they had become fast friends. They had each lost their husbands some three years ago to accident or illness or mishap and had met at a time when each needed a friend who was not tied to her loss. While not one given to overt displays of piety, Veronica often thanked God she had found these friends, in truth, these sisters she'd never had nor ever missed. Now she could not envision her life without them.
"Aside from Sebastian, we are quite a proper, well-behaved family," Portia said firmly, although Veronica did wonder how a proper, well-behaved family could produce a man who wandered the far reaches of the earth. Or perhaps it was only a proper, well-behaved family that could.
"He certainly doesn't look the least bit well behaved." In truth, with his rugged good looks, Sir Sebastian looked like a hero from a novel. "He looks like a man who plunges headfirst into adventure."
"It's the scar." Portia studied her cousin. "It makes him look like, well, exactly what he is."
"No doubt a souvenir from one of his expeditions."
"I suspect he likes people to think that." Portia chuckled. "The truth is he fell out of a tree when he was a boy." The closer they got to Sir Sebastian, the slower the crowd moved. They were scarcely walking at all now. Portia tapped her foot in impatience.
"I gather it's been some time since you've seen him."
"He's been back in England for several months, according to the rest of the family. But he's yet to make an appearance at any one of the gatherings they have subjected me to of late. Although with Christmas less than a month away, those gatherings will become even more frequent and Sebastian is certain to attend." Portia craned her neck to see around the crowd. "I understand he's purchased a house in the country."
"Oh?" A casual note sounded in Veronica's voice. "Do you think he intends to stay in one place for a while, then?"
"I have no idea what he intends, but I will certainly ask him if we ever get close enough. Why are you asking questions about Sebastian?" Her eyes narrowed. "And you never answered me. What did you mean by he's the one you want? The one you want for what?"
"I haven't decided yet."
A break appeared in the crowd in front of them, and Veronica urged Portia forward.
Portia stood her ground. "Veronica Smithson, I don't believe you have ever lied to me before."
"Nonsense, Portia." Veronica shrugged. "I have lied to you on any number of occasions."
"And I have never known you to be undecided about anything."
"Ah, well, there's always a first time."
"What are you planning?"
Veronica peered around her. "There's a path opening behind you."

I produce a lot of art for licensing purposes. These two owls look a little nervous about spending Halloween night in the branches of a tree under a full moon. Companies often arrange to use images such as this on puzzles, greeting cards, calendars, soft goods, etc. I just have fun painting them!
The Thousand Islands region of Ontario, Canada, was the perfect backdrop for a childhood filled with adventure for Richard De Wolfe, an artist who still identifies strongly with rural life. The forests, fields, and of course the mighty St. Lawrence River, made the wonders of nature come alive for him. The art of Richard De Wolfe has been very popular ever since his first one-man show at the age of eighteen. That show was a sell out, supplying him with commissions for many months after. He went on to spend twenty-five years as an illustrator, producing paintings for national and international corporations such as General Motors, Pepsi-Cola, and Sony.

Arsenal full-back Carl Jenkinson has set his sights on earning a place in the England team ahead of next year's FIFA World Cup.
The 21-year-old has started three of his side's opening four Premier League fixtures of the season, which have seen them collect nine points to sit second on the table.
Jenkinson faces tough competition at right-back at both club and international level, with Bacary Sagna at Arsenal and Liverpool's Glen Johnson and Kyle Walker of Tottenham battling it out for the England jersey in his position.
But the former Charlton Athletic man has already won one international cap by coming on as a substitute in last November's friendly defeat in Sweden, and feels he has what it takes to earn many more.
However, Jenkinson admitted that his top priority must be establishing himself in Arsene Wenger's starting XI at the Emirates Stadium.
"I believe that if I am playing regularly, and I'm playing well, I can be England's right-back," he told talkSPORT.
"If you're going to break into the England squad you need to be playing regularly.
"First and foremost I need to show the boss what I can do and show my credentials and that I am capable of playing regularly at this club.
"I believe I'm getting to that stage now where I'm more than ready to take my place and play week-in and week-out at this club.
"It's up to me in training to show what I can do and when I get my chance I need to take it. It is important that I do that, especially in a World Cup year."

Abdominal Tuberculosis in Children: A Diagnostic Challenge
ABSTRACT Abdominal tuberculosis (TB) is a rare manifestation of childhood TB. Abdominal TB is characterized by long-lasting abdominal symptoms, which are usually confused with other conditions, and the diagnosis is usually delayed.
During a 5-year period, we identified 10 cases of abdominal TB in a tertiary care children's hospital. Data including demographic characteristics, presenting symptoms, history of Bacille Calmette-Guérin vaccination, lesion sites, laboratory data, image findings, diagnosis, tuberculin skin test, risk factors, treatment, and outcome were collected and analyzed.
There were six female patients and four male patients, with a mean age of 14.7 years. One patient died due to the complication of disseminated TB with a pneumothorax. Household members with TB could be traced in six (60%) patients. The most common clinical presentations included fever (9/10), abdominal pain (8/10), and weight loss (8/9). The diagnosis of abdominal TB was suspected initially in only three patients; the others were not diagnosed until 7-36 days (mean=19 days) after hospitalization. The abnormal abdominal image findings, by either computed tomography or ultrasound, included lymphadenopathy (7/9), high-density ascites (6/9), thickening of the omentum or peritoneum (6/9), inflammatory mass (3/9), bowel wall thickening (1/9), and liver abscess (1/9). The chest radiography was abnormal in nine patients. Mycobacterium tuberculosis was isolated from ascites in two out of four patients, gastric aspirates in three, sputum in three, and intra-abdominal tissue specimens in two. Laparotomy was performed in three patients, laparoscopy in one, and colonoscopy in one.
In Taiwan, abdominal TB should be considered in patients with fever, abdominal pain, weight loss, and abnormal chest radiography. Characteristic computed tomography findings of abdominal TB and a history of exposure to TB contribute to the diagnosis.

- "In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in extrapulmonary forms of tuberculosis as a complication of immunodeficiency in adults. In contrast, the experience in children is meager, and most reports refer to isolated cases [12] [13] [14] [15]. Moreover, there is very little information derived from postmortem studies [16]. "
ABSTRACT: Infection by Mycobacterium bovis is not infrequently identified in Mexico. Its relation to nonpasteurized milk products ingestion is well recognized with primary infection usually in the intestinal tract. The term "abdominal tuberculosis" includes peritoneal as well as primary and secondary intestinal tuberculosis. The clinical differentiation of these conditions is difficult. In this work, we reviewed the clinical and pathological features of 24 cases of children dying with tuberculosis in whom autopsy revealed abdominal disease in a referral hospital in Mexico City. We identified 8 cases of primary intestinal tuberculosis, with documentation of M. bovis in 6 of them, and 9 cases of secondary intestinal tuberculosis (primary pulmonary disease), all negative to M. bovis . Seven patients had peritoneal tuberculosis without intestinal lesions and with active pulmonary disease in 4 of them, and of the remaining three, two had mesenteric lymph node involvement suggesting healed intestinal disease. In this approach to abdominal tuberculosis, postmortem analysis was able to differentiate primary from secondary intestinal tuberculosis and to define the nature of peritoneal involvement. This discrimination gives rise to different diagnostic approaches and epidemiological and preventive actions, particularly in countries where tuberculosis is endemic and infection by M. bovis continues to be identified.12/2012; 2012(874):230814. DOI:10.1155/2012/230814
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
- "The response to antituberculous therapy may indirectly prove the clinical diagnosis of abdominal TB when laboratory confirmation is lacking, especially in endemic areas [3]. Recent studies demonstrated the success of long-duration (12-month) antituberculous treatment without the need for adjunctive corticosteroids [3] [4]. Skeletal TB is another uncommon form of TB that is observed in 1—2% of children with TB because of hematogenous spread. "
ABSTRACT: We report the case of a 10-year-old girl who presented to the emergency department with acute abdominal pain. She was diagnosed as having extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB) with multifocal osteomyelitis of the spine and ribs, peritonitis and intestinal involvement. We describe the clinical presentation of this unusual constellation of the disease in the absence of pulmonary involvement in a child and discuss the diagnostic challenges and treatment of these rare forms of TB.04/2012; 5(2):203-6.

ABSTRACT: Tuberculosis infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis or other Mycobacterium species is a major communicable disease worldwide. We evaluated the epidemiology of tuberculous peritonitis to determine diagnostic features and factors related to late diagnosis. We retrospectively reviewed 211 tuberculous peritonitis cases diagnosed between January 1999 and December 2009. Clinical features, laboratory data, and diagnostic methods were analysed. Subjects included 115 males (54.5%) and 96 females (45.5%) with median age 61.0 years (range 43-72) and 29.2 days mean duration from symptoms to diagnosis. Disease histories included end-stage renal disease (20.9%), pulmonary tuberculosis (36.0%) and liver cirrhosis (23.7%). Most common symptoms were abdominal distension (80.1%), abdominal pain (68.7%) and weight loss (45.5%). Most common signs were ascites (62.6%) and fever (55.5%). One-year survival rate was 89.9%; 21 patients died during follow-up. Mortality risk was higher in patients with more concomitant diseases, including liver cirrhosis, AIDS, chronic steroid use, alcoholism, GI bleeding, haemoptysis, period from symptom presentation to treatment, secondary bacterial peritonitis requiring emergent operation. Increased duration between symptoms and definitive diagnosis increases mortality risk. Early diagnosis and prompt initiation of anti-tuberculosis therapy improve prognosis. Neutrophil-predominant ascites influences poor prognosis when correlated with secondary bacterial peritonitis.Digestive and Liver Disease 09/2011; 44(2):111-7.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning of the potential risk of overdosing infants with liquid vitamin D.
Some liquid vitamin D supplement products on the market come with droppers that could allow parents and caregivers to accidentally give harmful amounts of the vitamin to an infant. These droppers can hold a greater amount of liquid vitamin D than an infant should receive.
"It is important that infants not get more than the recommended daily amount of vitamin D," says Linda M. Katz, M.D., M.P.H., interim chief medical officer in FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition. "Parents and caregivers should only use the dropper that comes with the vitamin D supplement purchased."
Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption in the gut and plays a key role in the development of strong bones. Vitamin D supplements are recommended for some infants—especially those that are breast-fed—because deficiency of this vitamin can lead to bone problems such as thinning, soft, and misshaped bones, as is seen with the condition known as rickets.
However, excessive vitamin D can cause nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, excessive thirst, frequent urination, constipation, abdominal pain, muscle weakness, muscle and joint aches, confusion, and fatigue, as well as more serious consequences like kidney damage.
FDA's Recommendations
Remember: any type of medication or dietary supplement can have adverse effects and must be taken according to the manufacturer's directions.

On Sunday, January 6th, the Dorchester Winter Farmers' Market - the first of its kind in Dorchester and the first Winter Farmers' Market in Boston to accept SNAP and EBT payments – will launch its second season.
Special guest stars include Mayor Thomas Menino; Gregory Watson, Commissioner of Agriculture; City Councilor Frank Baker; State Representative Russell Holmes and others! Don't miss out!
The market, located at the Codman Square Great Hall (6 Norfolk Street) will run every Sunday for 12 weeks, from 12-4 PM. The market's opening day will feature a marching band, food trucks, free massages, free treats, children's activities and more.
The Winter Farmers' Market was founded in 2012 with a simple goal: to be a hub for fresh food, to create a gathering spot for Dorchester, Boston's largest, oldest and most diverse community, and to ensure that the neighborhood's mixed income residents have year-round access to affordable, fresh food options. After a highly successful first season, this year's market will feature 11 vendors offering local produce, meat, cheese and baked goods, including items that meet the cultural cuisines of the neighborhood.
The market is sponsored by the Dorchester Community Food Co-op.
We just grab a coffee and speak French. Some people have been coming every week for months... it creates a kind of warmth to the group.
