Like antibiotics, steroids are one of the most abused class of
drugs in the orthodox veterinarian field of medicine. At one time, they were reserved for the extreme emergency cases. Today, they
are being used on the most trivial of conditions. Why? They give
the appearance of an instant miracle cure which matches the expectation
level of the client. So, many doctors and veterinarians turn to
steroids as the first, rather than the last, line of attack for
their anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects. Steroids mimic
the action of the adrenal glands, the body's most powerful regulator
of general metabolism. Far from being a wonder drug, steroids cannot
cure one single condition. All they do is suppress the body's ability
to express a normal response.
The medical community seems to have a particular blind spot about
these drugs, refusing to believe that steroids can cause the terrible
carnage that the manufacturers have long admitted to. For over 30
years we've known that steroids can routinely cause over-activity
of adrenal hormones, which produces Cushing's disease. They can
also cause muscle wasting, hyperglycemia, water retention, bruising,
insomnia, serious mood changes, menstrual problems, impotence, loss
of libido, or even allergic shock and diabetes. (Source: Physicians
Desk Reference).
Daily low doses of a commonly prescribed oral steroid, prednisone,
can double your risk of hip fractures and cataracts, scientists
reported today. Researchers have long known of the link between
higher doses of oral steroids and dangerous side effects, but the
new study shows the potential for side effects at much lower doses,
says Dr. John B. Wong, an associate professor of medicine at Tufts-New
England Medical Center in Boston. The problem is that prednisone
and other steroid medications are critical in managing diseases
in which inflammation plays a painful role, Wong says.
"Low-dose steroids are used commonly in a number of diseases,
including patients with asthma or rheumatoid arthritis," he says.
Prednisone also is used to treat Crohn's disease and other inflammatory
bowel disorders. Wong stresses that people who are taking this medicine
should not stop doing so based just on these new findings.
"If patients are worried about the long-term side effects, I'd
encourage them to discuss it with their doctors," Wong says. "The
benefits of the medicine might clearly outweigh the risks."
The study tracked the progress of 4,993 people with rheumatoid
arthritis for 15 years, monitoring their medications and subsequent
health. Those who'd taken 5 milligrams to 10 milligrams of prednisone
a day were twice as likely to break their hips and 2½ times as likely
to develop cataracts as those who had taken no prednisone, the study
says. And those who'd taken the steroid at these low doses for three
or more years were 3.2 times as likely to develop cataracts as those
who had not taken prednisone, it says. Findings are being presented
today in San Francisco at a meeting of the American College of Chest
Steroid abuse can lead to serious, even irreversible health problems.
Some of the most dangerous among them include liver damage, jaundice
(yellowish pigmentation of skin, tissues, and body fluids), fluid
retention, high blood pressure, increases in LDL (bad cholesterol),
and decreases in HDL (good cholesterol). Other reported effects
include renal failure, severe acne, and trembling. In addition,
there are some gender- and age-specific adverse effects:
Dr. Karen Becker - "Steroids (also called prednisone,
cortisone or the nondescript "allergy shot") are the least optimal
treatment choice, as they work by suppressing your pets immune system.
Steroids actually turn the immune
system off, which improves the symptoms remarkably fast but
doesn't address the root issue of why your pets immune system is
over-reacting in the first place. Not only can steroids have a negative
effect on your pets liver, adrenal glands and kidneys, but suppressing
your pets immune system with steroids also allows for opportunistic
yeast and bacteria to grow on your pets skin, sometimes increasing
the chances that antibiotics may be prescribed."
Dr. Jeffrey Levy - "Corticosteroids (cortisone-type
anti-inflammatory drugs) are the most abused and dangerous
class of drugs. Not only do they not cure the underlying
cause of the problem, they usually make the underlying
problem, that is, the real problem, worse."
Hyper inflammation influences chronic pain, health and aging process. Other
nutrients are promoted for inhibiting the COX-2 enzyme that causes
inflammation. There are many body chemicals, cells and molecules
that create inflammation through different pathways in your body.
The following are a list of various factors that are involved in creating inflammation:

Fred Pescatore, M.D. - "Many of our most
debilitating diseases can be traced to an inflammatory cause.."
Inflammation contributes to more pain, disease, and disability
than any other condition. Unfortunately, many people unwittingly
eat foods that greatly contribute to inflammation.
The Inflammation Syndrome breaks down your body, making
you feel old, tired, and sick. Triggered by inflammatory foods in
your diet, the Inflammation Syndrome wreaks havoc on your health,
paving the way for such serious diseases as heart disease, diabetes,
Syndrome X, obesity, arthritis, allergies, asthma, even some cancers.
Jack Challem MD reveals many of the hidden
dangers in foods that set the stage for inflammation, causing aches,
pains, and allergic reactions and increasing the long-term risk
of life-threatening diseases.
Dr. Joseph Mercola - "...the treatment of a patient with
prednisone at 60 mg per day for about three months can actually
cause AIDS. This treatment and doses often given to patients suffering
from lung fibrosis, thrombocytopenia, or other chemically induced chronic illnesses." "...AIDS
is caused by the heavy use of corticosteroids and/or cytotoxic drugs to treat many health problems. Fauci described in detail the effect
of corticosteroids on the immune system. These effects resemble the immune abnormalities that are found in patients suffering from
AIDS or Idiopathic CD4 T cells lymphocytopnea (ICL) which are also described by Fauci et al"
Western Medicine strives to suppress inflammation and
the immune response, working
against the body. If there is a fever, lower it, if inflammation
is present provide steroids to remove it and of course if Western
Medicine thinks a bacteria or virus is present or doesn't know what
is wrong, a dose of antibiotics is provided. This way of doing
things can be effective in the immediate term, and important in
life threatening situations, but potentially devastating in the
long term especially when over-used.
Because, what eventually happens,
is that immune system becomes weak and ineffective or damaged and
over-reactive and disease is pushed deeper into the body to come
back stronger and more difficult to get rid of at a later date.
This is called trading ACUTE disease for long-term CHRONIC disease,
and it is one reason why so many of us are chronically ill today.
A Holistic health care practitioner will not want to suppress symptoms
unless they view it to be absolutely necessary, because those symptoms
are a sign the immune system is working and doing its job.
Dr. Mercola - "Inflammation is a normal and beneficial
process that occurs when your body's white blood cells and chemicals
protect you from foreign invaders like bacteria and viruses. Most
people don't realize that you need some level of inflammation in
your body to stay healthy, however its also possible, and increasingly
common, for the inflammatory response to get out of hand.
If your immune system mistakenly
triggers an inflammatory response when no threat is present, it
can lead to excess inflammation in your body, a condition linked
to asthma, allergies,autoimmune disease, heart disease, cancer and other diseases, depending on which organs the inflammation is impacting."
Fred Pescatore, M.D. - "Many of our most debilitating
diseases can be traced to an inflammatory cause. The program Jack
Challem outlines in The Inflammation Syndrome is a great first step
in ridding your body of this deadly problem."
The Inflammation Syndrome is the cumulative effect of low-grade
inflammation including the aches and pains we all experience that
grows into chronic debilitating disease. This book, the first major
book on the syndrome, reveals the powerful role that inflammation
plays in a wide variety of common health conditions from simple aches
and pains to heart disease, obesity, diabetes, Syndrome X, arthritis,
asthma, and athletic injuries.
Drawing on cutting-edge research
conducted around the world, Dr. Jack Challem MD provides
a revolutionary approach to healing inflammation-related problems
through an easy-to-follow nutrition and supplement program. He also
shares the latest information on C-reactive protein,
one of the markers of serious inflammation. This book, quite
simply, shows you how to feel better for life.
Natural remedies can harness the body's innate healing mechanisms, speeding up the
healing process while also providing pain relieving, anti-inflammatory
and soothing properties. Best of all, they can do this without the
side effects and complications sometimes associated with many prescription drugs.
What is this inflammation and why does it happen? Dr. Appleton
zeros in on one major factor: food and the allergies and intolerances
it provokes. In clear language she describes how the body's immune
system is supposed to work and how it caves in under the pressure
of the wrong foods, generating abnormal quantities of inflammatory
compounds. In many degenerative diseases, conventional medicine
is often powerless or just treats the symptoms. This book is a
great guide for identifying and removing the underlying causes of
many diseases and for restoring a harmoniously working body.
Pharmaceutical companies have spent billions of dollars in an
attempt to understand the bio-chemistry of inflammation. Unfortunately,
pharmaceutical anti-inflammatories such as Celebrex, Vioxx, and
Bextra have been shown to greatly increase the risk of heart attack,
stroke, and uncontrollable gastric hemorrhage, with potentially
fatal consequences. Are there a safer alternatives? Absolutely!
The various types of inflammation all have several things in common.
The most important, they are associated with disease and injury.
Often times inflammation can be treated by boosting intercellular
glutathione. Boosting glutathione
(GSH) can be accomplished by increasing dietary intake of cysteine
and the GSH co-factors. Over 78,000 clinical research papers on
glutathione/GSH have been published since the 1980s and they reveal
that people who suffer from systemic inflammation and chronic degenerative
diseases like cancer, Alzheimers, MS, Parkinsons, and the other
diseases listed earlier all have one thing in common -- low levels
of glutathione/GSH in their body.
Immunocals major impact on your health is providing the building
blocks for your cells to be able to make glutathione. This
is a technology that continues to be refined, and
Immunocal represent the only patented protein proven to
do this. In the development of Immunocal Platinum, the Immunotec
scientists looked carefully at both the biochemistry of protein
metabolism and at potential components of whey sub-fractions that
relate to aging, and then added two separate formulations to Immunocal.
The first is Cytokine Modulating Proteins (CMP)*, which represents
the next generation of whey protein subfractions. These components
play roles in repairing cell damage, promoting healthy cell differentiation
and growth, and inhibiting abnormal cell growth. As you can glean
from the name, CMP can also modulate cytokines, small molecules
of the immune system that signal for inflammation.
Joseph C. Maroon MD - "Did you know that the root cause of
serious chronic diseases such as heart disease, Alzheimer's disease,
cancer, arthritis, and asthma has been identified as chronic inflammation?
Although numerous studies have confirmed these findings, few physicians
are aware of or consider the fact that the battle against inflammation
is at the forefront of the fight for health and well-being of the
global population. Authors Joseph Maroon and Jeffrey Bost have set
out to reverse that trend with "Fish Oil: The Natural Anti-Inflammatory."
Supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids can restore the body's
balance and mitigate the effects of inflammatory factors.
Fish oil and Flaxseed oil are the best source of omega-3 fatty acids.
Marine phytoplankton micronutrients work on the roots of inflammatory conditions
in general, and arthritis in particular. The cell membrane of each
cell in our bodies is sending out messengers of inflammation, oxidation,
mitochondrial (energy production) dysfunction, and toxicity. These
messengers create the inflammation, or the pain we feel in our tissues,
organs, and joints. Consequently, healing the cell membrane through
nutrition (remember the cell membrane is made up of fats, sugars
and proteins), can reduce those inflammatory messengers. Much has
been written about these messengers (COX1, COX-2, prostaglandins,
cytokines, etc.) Marine phytoplankton not only heals the cell membrane,
thus reducing inflammatory messengers, but it also increases the
ability of our bodies to get rid of toxins that lead to inflammation,
oxidation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Healing these processes
reduces pain. Marine phytoplankton also have a lot of anti-inflammatory
molecules that directly neutralize the messages of inflammation.
Of course, when such blockage comes from natural food ingredients,
such as minerals, antioxidants (zeathanthines, etc.) flavones, isoflavones,
curcumins, etc., one does not find such catastrophic side effects
as we do with the pharmaceuticals mentioned above.
Marine phytoplankton micronutrients can also establish homeostasis
in the intestinal structure and function, which has been shown to
be the main source of inflammation everywhere in the body. "Leaky
gut" develops with poor nutrition, which is the reason inflammation
in the intestines (a very common problem), spills out to end up
in every cell of the body. (J. Gastroenterology 2005;129:827, "The
clustering of other chronic inflammatory diseases in Inflammatory
Bowel Disease." J. Rheumatology 2003;30:11, The gut in Ankylosing
Spondylitis, AS, and other spondyloarthropaties: inflammation beneath
the surface.")
Also, inflammation of the liver and endothelium is increased
by toxins such as heavy metals. Any food high in antioxidants in
general, and Marine Phytoplankton in particular, will help detoxify
these foreign chemicals. Toxins such asHomocysteine
are produced by our liver, when it lacks enough B vitamins to carry
out its functions, particularly methylation. Homocysteine has been
shown to be an inflammatory molecule, and it's practically present
in all diseases that have an inflammatory component. Of course,
FrequenSea decreases the levels of Homocysteine.
Hugo Rodier M.D. - "There are very few products that provide
all, or even most, of the raw materials to make new cells and sustain
the existing ones. The problem is that we need ALL of them at the
same time for things to work. One of those rare products that contains
almost everything you need for life (and the rebuilding of a healthy
life) is marine phytoplankton"
Dr. Shawn Messonnier, DVM - "Corticosteroids ("steroids")
such as prednisone are frequently used when
treating allergic dogs and cats. While chronic steroid use has
many potential side effects that can harm your pet, using low
doses for short periods of time can be done safely without long
term harm to Molly. However, whenever possible, natural alternatives
would be better choices to help control her itchy skin."
Christopher Day DVM - "Steroids and anti-histamines
have been used with variable temporary effects, with the risk
of side-effects. These drugs also render the horse ineligible
for competition."
Catherine O'Driscoll - "You take your dog to the vet with a skin infection. Your
vet gives your dog a steroid injection. The skin infection clears
up. Later, you discover your dog has kidney disease. Is there a clear connection between the
steroid injection and your dog's diseased kidneys? You don't
know. But we do know that steroids are known to damage kidneys.
We also know, from the drug manufacturers' own data sheets,
that steroids can cause liver damage, brittle bones, diabetes,
adrenal insufficiency, an inability to deal with stress, and
damage to the immune system."

The major side effects from abusing anabolic
steroids can include liver tumors and cancer, jaundice (yellowish pigmentation of skin, tissues, and body fluids), fluid retention,
high blood pressure, increases in LDL (bad cholesterol), and decreases in HDL (good cholesterol). Other side effects include kidney tumors,
severe acne, trembling and there are some gender-specific side effects.
Also people who inject anabolic
steroids run the added risk of contracting or transmitting HIV/AIDS
or hepatitis, which causes serious damage to the liver.
Scientific research also shows that aggression and other psychiatric
side effects may result from abuse of anabolic steroids. Many users
report feeling good about themselves while on anabolic steroids,
but researchers report that extreme mood swings also can occur,
including manic-like symptoms leading to violence. Depression often
is seen when the drugs are stopped and may contribute to dependence
on anabolic steroids. Researchers report also that users may suffer
from paranoid jealousy, extreme irritability, delusions, and impaired
judgment stemming from feelings of invincibility.1
Research also indicates that some users might turn to other drugs
to alleviate some of the negative effects of anabolic steroids.
For example, a study of 227 men admitted in 1999 to a private treatment
center for dependence on heroin or other opioids found that 9.3
percent had abused anabolic steroids before trying any other illicit
drug. Of these 9.3 percent, 86 percent first used opioids to counteract
insomnia and irritability resulting from the anabolic steroids.
Steroids are fast catching up with antibiotics as the most abused
class of drugs in your doctor's black bag. There's no doubt that
the discovery of steroids a half century ago was a major advance
in medicine-a life-saver for those like the late President John
F Kennedy, who suffered from Addison's disease, a disease of the
adrenal glands causing insufficient hormone production. Steroids
mimic the action of the adrenal glands, the body's most powerful
regulator of general metabolism. John Stirling, director of the
vitamin company Biocare, credits a very short course (three injections)
of steroids with jump-starting his failing adrenal system after
anaphylactic shock and saving his life. The problem is, like antibiotics,
steroids appear to be a miracle 'cure'. Patients with
crippling Rheumatoid Arthritis or asthma seem to be instantly
better on steroids.The wheeze, the swelling, the pain go away. So
doctors turn to steroids as the first, rather than last, line of
attack for their anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects.
As with antibiotics, what was once reserved for the extreme emergency is now being used
on the most trivial of conditions. Steroids are now handed out as
readily as antibiotics, even to babies, at the first sign of inflammation
of any sort. The latest drug set to replace gripe water for babies
with croup is a steroid (budesonide); hydrocortisone is included
in the latest over-the-counter medication for piles. Steroids make
up many OTC skin drugs, and are considered the drug of choice for
asthma, eczema, arthritis, back problems, bowel problems like ulcerative
colitis-indeed, for any and all inflammations or allergic reactions-and
new uses are still being invented. The sole exceptions Addison's
Disease, where steroids act as a replacement therapy of cortisone,
much as insulin is given to diabetics.
Far from being a wonder drug 'cure all', steroids cannot cure
one single condition. All they do is suppress your body's ability
to express a normal response. In a few instances, this type of suppression
will give the body a chance to heal itself. But more often, the
effect is immediate, devastating and permanent damage. And we are
only now realizing just how quickly damage can occur. Despite what
doctors say, that steroids only have side effects after many years
of use, there is no such thing as a safe dose.
Studies show that steroids cause permanent, debilitating effects
after a single dosage. With long term use, some of the more common
side effects of steroids include changes in appearance, such as
acne, development of a round or moon-shaped face and an increased
appetite leading to eight gain. Steroids may also cause a redistribution
of fat, leading to a swollen face and abdomen, but thin arms and
legs. In some cases, the skin becomes more fragile, which leads
to easy bruising. These take weeks to begin appearing.
Psychological side effects of steroids include irritability,
agitation, euphoria or depression. Insomnia can also be a side effect.
These changes in appearance and mood are often more apparent with
high doses of steroids, and may begin within days. Injected Triamcinalone
(see above), or oral dexamethasone seem to cause these changes less,
but as they stay in the body an undesirably long time, rendering
them second choices.
An increase in susceptibility to infections may occur with very
high doses of steroids. Prednisone may also aggravate diabetes,
glaucoma, and high blood pressure, and often increases cholesterol
and triglyceride levels in the blood. In children, steroids can
suppress growth. These effects are reversed once the steroids are
Side effects that may be caused by the long-term use of steroids
include cataracts, muscle weakness, avascular necrosis of bone and
osteoporosis. These usually do not occur with less than four weeks
of treatment.
Avascular necrosis of bone, usually associated with high doses
of prednisone over long periods of time, produces hip pain and an
abnormal MRI scan. It occurs most often in the hip, but it can also
affect the shoulders, knees and other joints. Caught early, the
joint can be saved by "decompression" by an orthopedic surgeon.
Once full developed, Avascular necrosis is painful and often requires
surgical joint replacement for pain relief.
Steroids reduce calcium absorption through the gastrointestinal
tract which may result in osteoporosis, or thinning of the bones.
Osteoporosis can lead to bone fractures, especially compression
fractures of the vertebrae, causing severe back pain. Calcium, at
least 1500 mg of the calcium carbonate form or equivalent, should be taken.
Myth of Osteoporosis - Protecting Your Bones and Reversing Osteoporosis Naturally
There is also a relationship between steroids and premature arteriosclerosis,
which is a narrowing of the blood vessels by fat (cholesterol) deposits.
In general, there is a close relationship between the side effects
of steroids and the dose and duration of their use. Thus, a high
dose of steroids given over a long period of time is more likely
to cause side effects than a lower dosage given over a shorter period
of time.
"Furthermore, my investigation revealed that the majority of
AIDS patients suffer from metabolic and endocrine abnormalities
[1]. The high prevalence of adrenal insufficiency observed among
AIDS patients provides strong evidence that AIDS in these patients
is caused by the use of corticosteroids" Mohammed Ali Al-Bayati Ph.D Toxicologist, and Pathologist
Dr. Al-Bayati discovered that the steroid treatments, Prednisone and Azathioprine had
completely destroyed my immune system and were the culprits that were not allowing my bodily systems to repair themselves. In
essence my HMO gave me the appearance of medication induced "Aids."
Topical corticosteroids
are often prescribed intermittently for short-term reactive treatment of acute flares and supplemented
by emollients. Reactive treatment with corticosteroids offers rapid
and effective symptomatic relief for acute flares. However, there
are considerable safety concerns associated with their use, particularly
when they are applied continuously. Potential adverse events are
primarily cutaneous (principally skin atrophy, but also telangiectasia,
hypopigmentation, steroid acne, increased hair growth and rosacea-like
eruptions), but there may be systemic effects (suppression of the
hypothalamicpituitary- adrenal (HPA) axis, growth retardation, increased
risk of glaucoma cataract and Cushings syndrome).1620

Corticosteroids are essential for life and an integral part of the stress response.
However, in excess, corticosteroids can be associated with a variety
of effects on the brain including hippocampal atrophy and even neuronal
death, mood changes, and declarative memory impairment. The magnitude
of mood change in patients receiving prednisone is reportedly associated
with previous lifetime corticosteroid exposure, consistent with
a sensitization or kindling process whereby greater effects are
observed with repeated exposure. To our knowledge, the effect of
multiple corticosteroid exposures on mood and memory has not been
previously examined prospectively in animals or humans. In this
study, 30 human volunteers, with no history of systemic prescription
corticosteroid therapy, were given (in random order using a crossover
design) two 3-day exposures of prednisone (60mg/day) and one of
identical placebo, with 11-day washouts between each medication
Before and after each 3-day prednisone/placebo exposure, declarative
memory was assessed using different versions of the Rey Auditory
Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT) to minimize practice or learning effects,
while mood was assessed with the 21-item Hamilton Rating Scale for
Depression, Young Mania Rating Scale and Internal State Scale. No
significant mood changes were found. However, a significant decrease
in aspects of RAVLT performance was observed after the first prednisone
exposure consistent with a decline in declarative memory performance.
The decline in RAVLT performance was significantly smaller after
the second prednisone exposure as compared to the initial prednisone
exposure. Thus, a second prednisone exposure was associated with
an attenuated prednisone-effect on declarative memory. These data
suggest tolerance or habituation, rather than sensitization, to
prednisone effects on declarative memory during a second exposure.
Implications and possible explanations for the findings are discussed.
Once viewed as a problem strictly associated with body builders,
fitness "buffs," and professional athletes, the abuse of steroids
is prevalent in todays society. This is an alarming problem because
of increased abuse over the years, and the ready availability of
steroids and steroid related products. The problem is widespread
throughout society including school-age children, athletes, fitness
"buffs," business professionals, etc. The National Institute on
Drug Abuse (NIDA) estimates that more than a half million 8th and
10th grade students are now using these dangerous drugs, and increasing
numbers of high school seniors don't believe steroids are risky.
Another study indicated that 1,084,000 Americans, or 0.5 percent
of the adult population, said that they had used anabolic steroids. These are just a couple of examples of how widespread
the problem has become.
Steroids, even in low doses, can kill or maim. The common thread
in the following cases was that the drugs weren't used for long
periods but had a swift and devastating effect. Steroids gave James
Hart osteoporosis in three months and killed him inside of one year.
In July 1994, James Hart was diagnosed as having fibrosing alveolitis,
a lung disease. A body-dye scan at the time showed that he was otherwise
healthy, with every other organ besides the lung in good shape.
Up until that spring, he'd been a keen golfer, playing a full round
twice a week. He was given oxygen therapy at home, plus 12 tablets
of 5 mg of prednisolone per day. The drug was intended to give his
body a boost, to help him gain weight. Within a month, however,
James's weight increased dramatically, bloating out of all proportion.
His skin became very thin and his arms and hands were discoloured
purple, bruising at the slightest touch. Although the steroids weren't
alleviating the lung problem to any degree, and the dosage was halved
within a month, James suffered terrible mood swings, and soon developed
a misshapen neck and back, usually termed buffalo hump, a well-known
side effect of steroids.
Five months after he'd started on steroids, James was crippled
and incapacitated, with pain to his back and ribs; eventually, his
family discovered he had a broken vertebrae and damaged rib-cage
due to osteoporosis. He was no longer able to go to the toilet on
his own, and a month later, he'd contracted diabetes and developed
a liver problem.
By early June 1995 he could no longer eat due to mouth and gum
ulcers, which were slow to heal. A month later-exactly a year after
he'd started on steroids-James died of liver, pancreatic and kidney
failure. When he was dying, his family could not even hold his hands,
because it would damage his skin and cause blood vessels to leak.
On his death certificate, the lung disease was not considered the
major cause of his death.
Steroids killed nine-year-old Lexie McConnell after only five
and a half weeks. In August 1993, Lexie was diagnosed as having
toxoplasmosis. The consultant put her on 80 mg per day of prednisolone.
Immediately, she suffered severe side effects, huge weight gain,
terrible pains, holes in her tongue and black stools. After nearly
a month, at her parents' pleading, the doctors quickly lowered the
dosage to 60 mg, 40 mg, 20 mg. In excruciating pain, Lexie was taken
to a hospital, where it was discovered she'd contracted chickenpox.
Four days later, she died. A few years later, another eye specialist
declared that a simple course of antibiotics could have cleared
up her infection. The above excerpt is from Ursula Kelly's site
years I had been a "junkie"--addicted to prescription and over the counter drugs. used oral and topical anti-inflammatory corticosteroids
for 9 years to suppress my eczema/psoriasis. The steroids' side effect nearly killed me and did nothing to cure my eczema.
Why elimination or suppression of the symptom is NOT the same
as elimination of the disease The side effects caused me
to swell-up like a balloon and triggered terrible mood
swings from deep depression to nasty outburst our rages. Functioning
of vital organs such as my liver, kidneys, lungs and spleen
were nearly shut down and I thought I would die. Here is the testimonial of my journey into health recovery.
The ingestion of cortisone or the application of cortisone cream
begins the vicious cycle of degeneration. Cortisone actually compromises
skin integrity and suppresses the body's natural ability to heal.
Skin, being the largest organ of the human physiology, is fundamentally
linked to all systems of the body. The use of cortisone, whether
external or internal, causes adrenal depletion and thus the domino
effect begins, eventually forcing the reactions into the lungs the
internal skin of the body. Western medicine focuses so predominantly
on the symptoms of a disease and rarely addresses the core issues,
especially in the case of a miasmic response.
An important step in initiating the healing process is to offer
the client the opportunity to understand that their skin condition
is their body's way of expressing unresolved emotions through their
skin. By assisting the client to connect with and acknowledge these
emotions and encouraging them to verbalize their feelings, the body
can begin to heal. Cleansing the large intestine and then the liver
and gall bladder with herbal support and dietary management to avoid
the triggers, as well as implementing ways to neutralize the stress
that triggers the underlying emotional response, are key strategies
in the health regime. The practitioners prime focus is to first
inform the client of the process involved and then to fully open the miasm with homeopathic
support. If the life force and immune system of the client are low,
then it is very important to support the blood chemistry with appropriate
foods and herbals. In particular, the reduction of stress will assist
the miasm to deactivate." Understanding Eczema and Psoriasis for a practitioner.~ Brian Knight
HOUSTON --(May 20, 2003)-- Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
(NSAIDs) may damage more of the intestine than previously thought,
according to images taken by a swallowable, capsule-size camera
pill used in a Baylor College of Medicine study. According to the
study, announced today at the Digestive Disease Week 2003 conference
in Orlando, capsule endoscopy detected NSAIDs-related injury in
the small bowel, an area of the gastrointestinal tract unreachable
by other diagnostic tools such as endoscopes. The tool detected
small bowel erosions in 62 percent of NSAID users compared to 5
percent of non-NSAID users.
"More than 100 million prescriptions for NSAIDS are written annually
in the United States," said Dr. David Graham, lead author of the
study and a professor of medicine and molecular virology at Baylor
in Houston and chief of the gastroenterology section of Houston
VA Medical Center. "The study shows that the patients who take NSAIDs
regularly have an increased risk of small intestinal mucosal ulceration
and bleeding."
Dr. Hyman MD - "Inflammation is a central player in the
5 Forces of Illness, cutting across traditional boundaries and specialties
in medicine. Anywhere there is pain; fatigue or aging, there is
likely to be inflammation. Typically, inflammation is recognized
with the four classic signs - tumor, rubor, calor and dolor - Latin
for swelling, redness, heat and pain. If we have had an acute injury
or a sore throat we are very familiar with this process. However,
the real concern is not our acute response to injury, infection
or insult, but the chronic smoldering inflammation that slowly destroys
our organs, our ability for optimal functioning and leads to rapid
aging. Our common treatments such as anti-inflammatory drugs, or
steroids like prednisone, though often useful for acute problems,
interfere with the body's own immune response and lead inevitably
to serious and deadly side effects. (Recall that as many people
die from taking anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen as die every
year from asthma or leukemia - stopping these drugs would be the
equivalent to finding the cure for asthma or leukemia."
The connection between inflammation and heart disease, arthritis, and other
chronic ailments has become increasingly clear. Many food allergies
and poor dietary choices over stimulate the immune system and cause
inflammatory responses that erode the body's wellness and pave the
path for ill health. Based on her naturopathic practice, Jessica
Black has devised a complete program for how to eat and cook to
minimize and even prevent inflammation and its consequences. The
first part of the book explains the benefits of the anti-inflammatory

suggestions and includes a healthy ingredient tip with each recipe.

A groundswell of nutrition conscious doctors and veterinarians are
beginning to recommend to their clients that they supplement their
diet with a daily dose of flaxseed oil. These doctors are finding
remarkable results in clearing up skin conditions, relieving arthritic
and inflammatory pain, as well as improved overall health. Flaxseed
oil and other healthy oils, rich in Omega-3 fatty acids play an
important role in immune anti-inflammatory responses.
Dr. Jessica Black - "The Anti-Inflammation Diet and Recipe
book was developed with the idea of reducing overall inflammation
in the body which allows the body to function more efficiently.
As naturopathic physicians, I and many of my colleagues use this
particular diet with each and every patient. Everyone that adopts
this diet sees some positive change. I have seen arthritis patients
drop 50 percent (or more) of their pain, people with seasonal allergies
or asthma become disease-free, and chronic disease sufferers receive
hope from the health improvements they noticed upon beginning this
diet. Because we are working to improve body metabolism, this is
the perfect diet to use to slow the aging process. Our society is
demanding a new revolution in health care and this diet is the perfect
adjunct to natural treatments of various kinds. Anyone who wants
to take control of their health and begin feeling more vibrant needs
to begin this diet. What makes this diet different than many other
diets on the market is that it is designed to be a therapy for the
body to begin its own process of healing. This diet is not a binge
diet to use when you want to lose weight, although that is one positive
result often experienced from adopting this diet. It is truly designed
to promote a whole lifestyle change and to stimulate the natural
healing mechanism that is present in each and every one of us. This
diet can help to reduce chronic disease in adults and children,
reduce the symptoms of aging, and promote optimal health in those
who use it, thus building a better future for us, our children, and our world."
"People taking MSM may notice other benefits as well, such as
softer skin, harder nails, thicker hair, and softening of scar tissue.
Over the last two years, Lawrence, who has treated more than 1,000
patients with MSM, sees its application particularly useful for
pain and allergy treatment. "The effects of MSM on rheumatoid
arthritis almost mimic that of cortisone and it's more effective
for allergies than antihistamines - with out the side affects."
Many consumers have already heard about MSMs long list of benefits.
In St. Louis, at The Natural Way store, consumers.. who purchase
MSm tablets or capsules are "people with arthritis, joint and ligament
problems, lactic acid buildup, gastrointestinal disorders, and people
who want to help their hair, nails and skin."
a natural form of organic sulfur found in all living organisms,
is present in body fluids and tissues. It is part of the amino acid
chain. Without the presence of the proper amount of MSM in the body,
the amino acids will continue to build the glands but fail to produce
the correct enzymes, so animals and people are then prone to unnecessary
illnesses. MSM is an important dietary supplement for people and animals.
MSM (Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane) is a pure, organic, non-toxic,
non-metallic element that occurs widely in nature. MSM has been
shown to be completely non-toxic in study after study, even in high
dosages. Storehouses of MSM, in mammals, decreases with age, which
may be caused by changing diet or body metabolism. This should not
be allowed to occur. Your body uses MSM to continually create new
healthy cells to replace old ones. If your body is not receiving
the proper nutrition including MSM, the body may produce weak dysfunctional
MSM detoxifies the body and increases blood circulation. It is
also a free radical scavenger, prevents overreaction to other medicines,
controls acidity, coats the intestinal tract so parasites lose the
ability to hang on, helps to utilize vitamins and minerals, thereby
providing the means to derive the maximum benefit from what we and
our animals eat.
Stanley W. Jacob MD - "In a double-blind study of MSMs impact
ondegenerative arthritis, he found that patients who ingested 2,250mg
of MSM a day for six weeks felt an improvement in their pain reduction
by 82%, on average."
Ronald M. Lawrence MD - "I've been practicing medicine
for 50 years, and in all those years I've never seen a substance
like this" Lawrence says in The Journal of Anti-Aging Medicine a
peer-reviewed scientific journal, published Lawrence's preliminary
study results last July. Arthritic cartilage has only one-third
the level of sulfur concentration of normal cartilage - perhaps
that is why MSM has been so effective in treating arthritis. But
researchers don't know for sure if MSM is beneficial for arthritis
because of its sulfur content or because of its anti-inflammatory
and analgesic properties. Unlike aspirin, which offers immediate
pain relief "MSM takes three to four weeks before you have noticeable
changes Lawrence says, "except in rheumatoid patients - they have
felt differences in just one day, and certainly by three or four
days." According to Jacob, Lawrence and Zucker's forthcoming book,
MSM can be a natural remedy for: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, tendonitis and bursitis,
muscular soreness and athletic injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, post - traumatic inflammation and pain,
heartburn and hyper-acidity, headaches and back pain, allergies."
Consumers worried about oral MSMs toxicity can be assured it's
safe, according to Lawrence. "It's safer than water" he says. Patients
at the Oregon Health Sciences University who have received oral
MSM as part of their treatment show no toxic build-up, even after
years of ingesting more than 2,000mg of MSM each day. The body may
actually use what it needs, then flush out the excess sulfur within
"When flutist Eugenia Zukerman developed a rare lung disease and began taking the powerful drug prednisone as part of her
treatment, she was subjected--with little choice and less preparation--to a barrage of side effects: intense mood swings, bloating, changes
in her hair and skin, gastrointestinal problems, and more." Amazon.com Editorial Reviews
Cats are more resistant than dogs to the effects (and
side-effects) of corticosteroids.
The most common side effects associated with the use of corticosteroids
are increased drinking, urinating and appetite. These effects
are less noticeable in cats than dogs but weight gain does seem
to accompany the use of corticosteorids in cats pretty frequently.
Prednisone and other corticosteroids may cause other side
effects, as well. Hairloss, dullness or thinning of the hair coat
is occasionally seen in cats. Thinning of the skin and increased
susceptibility to skin infections may occur. Panting is commonly
seen in dogs as a side effect of corticosteroid use and is seen
less frequently in cats, as well. We have had a couple of feline
patients who developed diarrhea as a side effect of prednisone
usage. Ulcers are reported to occur sometimes after corticosteroid
usage but I don't recall seeing this problem in any of our patients.
Generalized immune suppression can occur, particularly at
higher corticosteroid doses or with frequent administration
of corticosteroids. This is the side effect that we worry the
most about in cats, as there is some evidence that corticosteroids
can make it possible for dormant feline leukemia virus or herpes
virus infections to reappear. It is a good idea to watch carefully
for signs of illness when it is necessary to use corticosteroids
in a cat and to report any signs of illness to your vet as soon
as possible.
Corticosteroid may lead to an increased incidence of pancreatitis
in dogs but I am not sure if this problem occurs in cats. Use
of cortisones makes it harder to control insulin dosages in
diabetic pets and they may even help to induce diabetes in susceptible
In people, corticosteroid induced psychoses are reported.
I honestly think that this occasionally occurs in pets but have
no real scientific data to support that belief. Still, if your
cat starts hiding out all day, is more aggressive, or exhibits
any recognizable behavioral changes it would be worthwhile to
report them to your vet.
There are probably other side effects that I haven't thought
of. Sometimes when I look at the lists of things that corticosteroids
do that aren't good for the patient it is hard to understand
why we use them. But it is important to remember that they also
have beneficial effects, as you have seen. As long as the beneficial
effects are important and are providing an increased quality
of life it seems reasonable to use corticosteroids. You just
have to be careful to watch out for the pitfalls and adjust treatment plans accordingly."Mike Richards, DVM

The freaks hiding wthin the fire
set out to free your every desire,
make you forget all your fears,
while everyone just disappears...
Once, you had trusted in me
and now you are running free,
while the sliding doors enclose,
on me, with every single dose...
As I'm drinking this bitter potion
so addicted to the tainted notion,
that, somehow, I myself can see,
through this incurable disease...
Please make up your mind now
before I have to tear it down,
or leave it up to the wise ones,
and regret what you'll have done...
Someday I will outsmart them
steering the wheel and then,
forward, I enter into the eye,
of the cyclone, inside my mind...
I fought real hard and steady
bang! the pistol was so ready,
my hand touching the barrel,
while the foolish await in peril...
I didn't mean to pull the trigger
I just felt so filled with vigor,
so I got swept up by the sound,
from down here on the ground...
But it's only a blank, my love
not to worry, a bullet from above,
came hailing down from up high,
raining flames down from the sky...
Burning all the towers of pride
filling my veins with tears inside,
but they are just blanks as well,
it's just that I don't kiss and tell...

I was born in Scotland, went to school and university in Scotland, practised law in Scotland, have always lived in Scotland, and for nearly 25 years have represented a Scottish constituency. I state these qualifications, for it has become commonplace in Scotland to assert that those who do not support independence are unpatriotic. Last week, for example, a member of the Scottish Parliament refused to withdraw the insulting claim that political parties which opposed independence were "anti-Scottish".
But it is my patriotism that drives my opposition to independence. With independence, we will diminish ourselves and Scotland. We will give up the benefits of a union which has lasted 300 years, which has served Scotland well, and which Scotland has served well. We have maintained our own legal system, our own church and our own traditions. We have even kept our own football team's right to play in the World Cup. And in return we have had access to the influence and economic benefits of a single UK market. We have enjoyed the political stability of a constitutional settlement and system that has been the envy of the rest of the world. We have had influence in international institutions and affairs far beyond any country of Scotland's size.
Without borders, we have enjoyed limitless opportunities and ambitions. Apart from sporting clashes at Twickenham and Hampden, we have been at peace with the rest of the United Kingdom since the last convulsion of Jacobitism in 1745. The economies of the four Home Nations have been integrated to the advantage of all of them.
Scottish men and women have prospered on the wider stage of the United Kingdom in every field. And most recently, when the twin pillars of Scotland's prudent financial reputation, the Royal Bank of Scotland and the Bank of Scotland, shook under the weight of financial crisis, the strength of the UK kept them from collapse. But much of the benefit we have enjoyed and continue to enjoy is intangible, a sense of shared values, of mutual respect, of friendly rivalry and common responsibility.
Has it been perfect? Of course it has not. But it has been infinitely better than anything else we could have achieved on our own. If we want to take more responsibility for our own affairs, we can do so just as Wales and Northern Ireland are doing. We can resolve the West Lothian (and West Wales and West Belfast!) Question without fracturing the Union. Allegiance need not be monolithic. At Murrayfield, I shout for Scotland, at the Oval, for England, and for Europe wherever the Ryder Cup is held. We are citizens of the world. We don't need to retreat to an independent Scotland to feel a sense of identity.
The putative date of autumn 2014 for a referendum to decide Scotland's future is said by the Nationalists to be necessary so that we can have a proper debate. The saturation coverage of the past week is indicative of what will fill studios and dominate newspapers and social media for the next 1,000 days. But what have we had since the referendum of 1979, when the Scots failed to clear an artificial hurdle imposed by diehard opponents of the modest devolution package offered by the Callaghan government in its death throes?
In Scotland, every UK election, every election to the Scottish Parliament (and the periods in between) have consumed more time and space on the issue of Scotland's future than any other subject. If the next 30 months or so are anything like last week, doctors' surgeries will be filled with patients complaining of referendum fatigue. The tone of the public debate will tell us all we need to know about the kind of Scotland that might emerge after the referendum, whatever the outcome.
Two hundred years ago, Scotland was bathed in critical acclaim as the cradle of the Enlightenment. Am I "anti-Scottish" to believe what happened at that time in Edinburgh (which earned the description of the Athens of the North) had much more influence on ourselves, the world and our reputation than the bloody battle of Bannockburn in 1314? A debate about Scotland's future that scaled the rational, cultural and philosophical heights of the Enlightenment – now that would be something to commemorate in a referendum.Reuse content

Patient Comments: Sciatica - Describe Your Experience
Please describe your experience with sciatica.
Comment from: Angie, Female (Patient) Published: July 20
I was involved in a rear end car accident several years ago. A few months afterwards they determined that I needed a spinal fusion and after that, a sacroiliac fusion/fixation. A possible problem of having the second surgery is pyriformis syndrome, which is where one or both pyriformis muscles (buttock muscles) wrap around the sciatic nerves and chokes them off. That is what happened to me on both the left and right sides. It happened overnight and when I went to get up from sleeping in the morning, I could barely move my legs. When I finally got my feet on the floor to stand, I fell to my knees and screamed in pain. I could barely walk or move at all. I cried in pain and knew something horrible had happened. I called my doctors and described the pain and my condition and they said this should not be happening and to go in for a visit. Of course, when they found what was going on, they scheduled me for surgery because the only thing to do (or it was 10 years ago) was to cut the pyriformis muscles off of the sciatic nerves so the muscles would release the nerves. My nerves were left damaged and I am in continued chronic pain, but the sciatic nerves have slowly improved. However, no doctor can tell me if there will ever be a time that the pain goes away.
Comment from: Judy, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: June 14
I shifted my pelvis years ago so now when I have sciatic nerve problems I can hardly stand straight. This is the most painful experience I ever had. I take a belt and tighten it around my hip area and it actually helps relieve some of the pressure to where I can stand straight. But this pain is horrible.

Comment from: ezlacher, 35-44 Male (Patient) Published: May 12
I experienced lower back pain as a result of road accident in 1998. The sciatic pain extended to the legs. It was too painful to hesitate going to hospital. Here I was only given pain killers. After a short time the pain reduced to very low level, till this year 2016 March, the pain in the lower back and legs recurred, this time around very painful. When I went back to the same hospital I was just given NSAIDs and told to do lower back physical exercises. This didn't assist to relieve pain in any way. To date I have too much pain to the extent of not doing anything without taking strong pain killers like diclophen.
Comment from: oldnotcold, 65-74 Male (Patient) Published: May 06
My lower back pain started about 2 years back. The general physician did not have x-rays taken, just said that by my description I had sciatica. He gives cortisone injections every 3 months but pain is back after 3 weeks. My pain is in lower back and spreads down my buttocks to both legs at back as well as causing pins and needles as well some numbness in same areas.
Comment from: Grandma, 75 or over Female (Patient) Published: April 29
Comment from: big aggie, 75 or over Female (Caregiver) Published: April 19
In 1959 I fell rock climbing and had injury. I had no treatment, and experienced pain now and again. Being a nurse and heavy lifting wouldn't have helped. In 2013 physiotherapist suggested fracture of spine. In 2016 developed I developed back pain and sciatica. I had severe pain in back when lying flat for x-ray, less pain when lying on side, curled up in fetal position. My medication is Co-codamol, codeine and amitriptyline. Guess I'll have to live with it, and keep taking the tablets!

Hi, I'm trying to understand java logging. I have the following configured in logging.properties: - here's the handle handlers = 1lm.org.apache.juli.FileHandler - now add some properties to the handler 1lm.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.level = FINEST 1lm.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.directory = ${catalina.base}/logs 1lm.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.prefix = auth. - add the handler to an application class for logging within the class auth.DatasourceLoginModule.handlers = 1lm.org.apache.juli.FileHandler Now, here's some example application code: - the following lines are examples of lines that don't log anything logger.entering(DatasourceLoginModule.class.getName(), "entering verify"); logger.fine("Acquiring connection from datasource."); - however this is the only line anywhere that creates a log entry logger.info(e.getMessage()); I changed the log "level" to others but this doesn't make any difference, why do only "logger.info" messages get logged to the log file "auth<date>.log" and nothing else?

She was there helping to set up the museum and she'll be retiring soon to join her 50 year old daughter in Richmond, VA. We should all be so fortunate to be as vibrant as Dot at her age of 84!

This is on a Windows 7 64bit machine running Outlook 2010 and binary 1.1a6.
SpamBayes is listed as an inactive add-in and does not have a location. When attempting to add the add-in manual, the message "'C:\Program Files (x86)\SpamBayes\bin\outlook_addin.dll' is not a valid Office Add-in." appears.
This is on a Windows 7 64bit machine running Outlook 2010 and binary 1.1a6.
I am running Outlook 2010 (64-bit version) and I get this same issue. I assumed it was with Spambayes not being 64-bit compatible, so I manually compiled/linked this using Python 2.7 (64-bit) and the 64-bit version of the pywin32 for Python 2.7. This just made my Outlook crash every time I launched.
We LOVE SpamBayes and would like support to be added for 64-bit version of Outlook 2010. Our mailboxes have gotten over 12GB and we need all the RAM usage we can get!
We use Windows 7 x64 Professional
I have the same problem with Outlook 2010 x32 and Win7 x64. "SpamBayes can not get registred". Changing DEP and access right for the SpamBayes folder did not work. Very sorry, we love SpamBayes too.
I had the same problem with Outlook 2007 on a 32-but Win7 machine. OL started crashing and the only way to get it to run was to start up with Spambayes disabled. But then I couldn't re-enable SpamBayes -- enabling it had no effect. The toolbar wouldn't show up, and when I'd look at my add-ins again SpamBayes was still disabled.. Reboots didn't help, and it was already listed as a DEP exception. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that didn't work either -- until I uninstalled, renamed the spambayes program folder, and reinstalled. Now it's working. And fortunately, I didn't lose any of my settings or spam database.
I am in the same boat as everyone. I am running Outlook 2010 x64 and Win 7 x 64. When I install SB nothing happens. I am not even getting it to appear in the add in window at all. I have tried reinstalling it several times but nothing happens.
The SB help section says that if Outlook does not show it in the add-in area to do this: If the SpamBayes addin is not listed, then SpamBayes should be reinstalled (Note that running regsvr32.exe outlook_addin.dll or bin\outlook_addin_register.exe from the SpamBayes directory may also solve this problem).
I just wanted to report that the first file (regsvr32.exe) does not even exist on my computer anywhere, not to mention in the Spam Bayes directory. And I tried clicking on the 2nd one a few times and nothing happens at all.
I am with everyone else. I love spam bayes and really don't want to try another spam filter. this is the best one out there. But something needs to be done to make this work with Outlook 2010 x 64. I hope to see an update soon.
6 September 2011. Same exact situation here as commented by:\
Date: 2011-01-06 05:28:39 GMT
Sender: https://www.google.com/accounts
My new install of SpamBayes v1.1a6 fails to load at all in MS Outlook 2010 v14.5128.5000 (64-bit) from MS Office Professional Plus 2010, running on Win v 64-bit.
Please try installing SpamBayes in a non-default location such as C:\SpamBayes.
> Please try installing SpamBayes in a non-default location such as
> C:\SpamBayes.
Tried that- no dice.
Hello Scott,
please note the new comment on http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/
Outlook 2010 Windows 7 1.1a6 1.1a6
A number of people have reported that SpamBayes will not work on Windows 7
unless you install it in a non-default location. Installing in C:\SpamBayes
should do the trick.
My Spambayes is running with W7, Outlook 2010 - great!
installed to C:\SpamBayes
Win x64
Not working

Your standard Ruby Tuesday, food was consistently good and the bar service is pretty good. Usually came here with a group and the servers have always been spot on
Food is always good. Great hostesses, and waitresses. If there is a problem, managers take care of it right away. One of the best dining chains around.
Excelent service by alan, and the best steak dinner we have had in a long time. An outstanding place to enjoy great food. Neat , clean area. Pleasant friendly wait staff. Our waiter-Alan- went way beyond a waiters normal duties. A definate do again place.
My family loved our dinner, a few nights ago. There were 13 of us. The food was way better them most chain restaurants. The staff was wonderful! We will be back, the next time we are in the area.
The staff was very friendly and the food was delicious. We went for lunch and had the $12.99 trio special it was excellent. I had the cajun ribs and my daughter had the petite sirloin we both had the salad bar which was cold and nice and fresh. I had the brownie sundae for dessert it was delicious. My daughter...
I can't tell why anyone would chose a chain food restaurant if have nonchain unique restaurants available but when on the road, they are usually a safe if not exciting choice. Great salad bar, good soups, fish tacos were good, not exactly great but not bad. Have had a burger here that was raw & had to send back to...
Typical chain food. Nothing more, nothing less. Decent service. A bit on the pricey side for what is served. Not disappointed, not awed.
A great place for a date, although a bit pricey for portion size, salad bar has a large selection. I went to a large family event and anyone under the age of 11 probably would not enjoy themselves since focusing on the texture and flavor of food is not their forte and the atmosphere is not very colorful in order...
The food was good. I have been to a number of Ruby Tuesdays before. This one was average. My wife and I enjoyed the meal and the price was right.
Service has always been good. Love the salad bar. Food is average - nothing to really write home about.

I don't think there is something inherently negative about saying "he and I are in a committed relationship", I just think it's best to be precise about what that means.
I am committed to my relationship with IV, for example, but it doesn't mean what most people think it means. I know IV well enough to know that we work well together; our sex life is fun, our time together is entertaining, our worldviews are compatible. I will cut IV some slack if she is having a hard time and is being emotionally unstable or temporarily detached. I am committed to having her in my life as long as our fundamental approaches to life remain compatible; regardless of whether or not she's going through some kind of contextual craziness.
I also believe in being flexible for the sake of my partner, though probably not in the way most people think of it. As long as what I am changing about my behavior is irrelevant to me or it is a change to something I also see as a natural behavior for me, I will do it. Once I need to change something fundamental about myself or I need to put up with something that I think is unreasonable I am going to need to make a change. That change doesn't necessarily mean breaking up, but I'll need to change it to the degree that allows me to freely be who I am while enjoying what my partner naturally has to offer.

What does this mean to you? I propose that you will have a better chance of getting what you want from life if you can be more concise about what that actually is. "Being 'in' the relationship" is about as vague a statement as I could imagine someone making and anyone you said that to would likely be blindly guessing what you meant.
Originally Posted by

Talking about a topic doesn't mean action should be taken. Making promises about a topic insists that action be taken to see those promises through.
"I'm going to stick with this thing as long as we are fundamentally healthy for each other. What are your feelings on the topic?" - This is stating my level of commitment and prompting a conversation about what the other persons views are. I am not proposing anything nor suggesting any promises should be made. I would consider this to be a healthy approach to the conversation.
"I'm committed to being in this relationship for the long haul; are you committed to being 'in' this relationship?" - This is attempting to solicit promises of longevity and being incredibly vague about what that actually means. This is not what I would consider to be a healthy approach to the conversation.

"Art is very much alien to the mind of women, and cannot be accomplished without a great deal, which in women is usually very scarce."
Boccaccio, Italy, 1350s
"I consider women writers, lawyers and politicians as monsters and nothing but five-legged calves. The woman artist is merely ridiculous - but I am in favour of the female singer and dancer."
Pierre-Auguste Renoir, France, 1880s
"Though she [the painter Marie Laurencin] has masculine defects, she has every conceivable feminine quality. The greatest error of most women artists is that they try to surpass men, losing in the process their taste and charm. Laurencin is very different. She is aware of the deep differences that separate men and women - essential, ideal differences."
Guillaume Apollinaire, France, mid 1900s
"Perhaps in her disregard for logic, in her inconsistency and indifference to contradiction, lies the only feminine trait in the art of Suzanne Valadon, that most virile - and greatest - of all the women in painting."
Bernard Dorival, France, 1967
"No man could feel as Georgia O'Keeffe and utter himself in precisely such curves and colours; for in those curves and spots and prismatic colours there is the woman referring the universe to her own frame, her own balance; and rendering in her pictures of things her body's subconscious knowledge of itself."
Paul Rosenfeld, USA, 1920s
"Women can only create babies, say the scientists, but I say they can produce art - and Georgia O'Keeffe is the proof of it."
Alfred Stieglitz, USA, 1920s
"The men like to put me down as the best woman painter. I think I'm one of the best painters."
Georgia O'Keeffe, USA, 1920s
"Only men have the wings for art... This painting [by Lee Krasner] is so good you'd never know it was done by a woman."
Hans Hofmann, USA, 1950s
"I cannot be so many things. I cannot be something for everyone... Woman, beautiful, artist, wife, housekeeper, cook, sales lady, all these things. I cannot even be myself or know who I am."
Eva Hesse, USA, 1960s
"Women's liberation when applied to artists seems to me a naive concept. It raises issues which in this context are absurd. At this particular point in time artists who happen to be women need this particular form of hysteria like they need a hole in the head."
Bridget Riley, UK, 1960s
"If all the paintings ever painted by every woman from Sofonisba Anguissola to Gillian Ayres were thrown into the Atlantic, the history of art would not be a jot disrupted."
Brian Sewell, UK, 1991

In a letter to the committee, Sony said it has added automated software monitoring and enhanced data security and encryption to its systems in the wake of the recent security breaches.
After reading the above I just wanted to scream! All of those things should have been setup to begin with not added after a breach. What they should be doing now is firing all of their admins and hiring some who actually know what they are doing rather than people they found wandering around the local Walmart.

Cons: VGA only, no built-in speakers

Other Thoughts: Not the fastest drive ever, but its incredibly solid overall. Well worth the priceREAD FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Blacklist [Online Game Code]
Pros: A blast to play, looks great on even a mid-rig pc
Cons: UPlay is a bit of a pain, initial updates suck
Other Thoughts: I got this at a steep discount (~$8) and it is well worth even twice that. I've played every Splinter Cell and this is probably my 3rd favorite behind Double Agent and Chaos Theory. They have a bit of a hybrid stealth system that mixes Conviction's cover-to-cover and previous mechanics, but it works well.
Uplay sucks, mostly because of the initial updates like another reviewer mentioned (an egg taken off for that), but it doesn't have much of an effect on the game itself. Also, Michael Ironside is no longer the voice of Sam Fisher, but the newer guy does a fine job as long as you're not bothered by Sam supposedly being older yet sounding a lot younger.
