Taking an NSAID can increase your risk of life-threatening heart or circulation problems, including heart attack or stroke. This risk will increase the longer you use an NSAID. Do not use this medicine just before or after having heart bypass surgery (also called coronary artery bypass graft, or CABG).
NSAIDs can also increase your risk of serious effects on the stomach or intestines, including bleeding or perforation (forming of a hole). These conditions can be fatal and gastrointestinal effects can occur without warning at any time while you are taking an NSAID. Older adults may have an even greater risk of these serious gastrointestinal side effects.
Do not use this medication if you are allergic to oxaprozin, or to aspirin or other NSAIDs.
Before taking oxaprozin, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have:
- a history of heart attack, stroke, or blood clot;
- heart disease, congestive heart failure, high blood pressure;
- a history of stomach ulcers or bleeding, bowel problems, diverticulosis;
- liver or kidney disease;
- asthma;
- polyps in your nose; or
- if you smoke.
If you have any of these conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely take this medication.
FDA pregnancy category C. This medication may be harmful to an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment. Taking oxaprozin during the last 3 months of pregnancy may harm the unborn baby. Do not take oxaprozin during pregnancy unless your doctor has told you to.
Oxaprozin can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Do not give this medicine to a child younger than 6 years old without the advice of a doctor.
How should I take oxaprozin (Daypro Alta)?
Take this medication exactly as it was prescribed for you. Do not take the medication in larger amounts, or take it for longer than recommended by your doctor. Follow the directions on your prescription label. The maximum amount of oxaprozin for adults is 1200 milligrams (mg) per day. Know the amount of oxaprozin in the specific product you are taking.
If you take oxaprozin for a long period of time, your doctor may want to check you on a regular basis to make sure this medication is not causing harmful effects. Do not miss any scheduled visits to your doctor.
Store oxaprozin at room temperature, away from moisture, heat, and light.

Here are some videos of a couple of Introduction to UX talks I gave in December 2011.
The first video talks about Design Context and the importance of defining Usability and UX Goals when designing a digital product. It also describes what User Experience Design is, why it is important, and talks about the UX process – Establishing Requirements, Design, Prototyping and Evaluation.
The second video talks about Mental Models, Cognitive Processes, Design Principles and quickly touches on Web Form Design and Visual Design before summarising Good and Bad UX.

A little more than a week before Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was arrested on federal charges, the doors of the Vandalia Statehouse – and other state historic sites – were closed as a result of Blagojevich's budget cuts. On Saturday, the Statehouse doors were reopened.
But just how long that's the case is still up in the air, considering the budget address by new Gov. Pat Quinn on Wednesday.
The Illinois Historic Preservation Agency held a ceremony on Saturday to celebrate the reopening of the Vandalia Statehouse that morning.

Obama Warns Justices Against 'Activism' on Healthcare Law!
Orin Hatch is Definitely No Constitutional Scholar!
President Obama, in a joint press conference with the leaders of Canada and Mexico today, said he is confident the Supreme Court will uphold Affordable Health Care Act, known popularly as ObamaCare, and — warned the justices against striking down the law in what he called an act of "judicial activism."
"I'd just remind conservative commentators that for years what we've heard is the biggest problem on the bench was judicial activism, or a lack of judicial restraint," Obama said.
Obama defined activism by saying "an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted passed law — well, here's a good example. And I'm pretty confident that this — this court will recognize that and not take that step."
The Supreme Court — which heard three days of arguments on the law last week — is expected to rule on the constitutionality of the mandate, and perhaps the entire law itself, in June of this year.
Obama said he's "confident" that the high court "will not take what would be an unprecedented extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress.
During last week's Supreme Court hearings, some conservative justices had harsh questions about the law's key feature, the requirement that nearly all Americans buy some form of health insurance or pay a fine.
Some critics say that requirement, as well as most of the health care law itself, is an unconstitutional overreach by the federal government.
Orin Hatch of Utah said he didn't know what dream land the President was living in. He said that he and many others have been protesting ever since the law was passed that it was unconstitutional and represented government "over-reach".
Hatch has not distinguished himself intellectually in his time in Congress, and showed here quite clearly why that may be the case. The Supreme Court has upheld the power of Congress to levy taxes and penalties for a variety of reasons and under the auspices of a number of commonly accepted principles and articles of the U.S. Constitution, and Supreme Court itself has set many precedents in affirming the duly constituted authority and power of Congress to deal comprehensively with such matters in the normal course of governing and and in the performance of its legislative responsibilities. To claim Congress cannot do it now, is to ignore a couple hundred years of rulings by distinguished justices who preceded those currently on the court.
Another case of a right wing political hack vehemently protesting judicial activism and then running out at any and every opportunity and exultantly championing "judicial activism" when it serves his own partisan purpose — that of of over-turning or thwarting the clear intent of a democratically elected Congress and President and the legislation and laws passed by them.
Citizens United Makes Political Parties (and Politicians) Irrelevant!
By Bifford Caulfield — The first consequence of the U.S. Supreme Court's Citizen United ruling was to corrupt the political process and threaten democracy in America. My first impression was that Republicans, who predominantly represent the interests of the wealthy in Congress, were thrilled by the fantasy of having unlimited sums of unrestricted and undisclosed money to run for office against their more highly principled democratic opponents. Let's face it, if you are a Republican, what ideas and policy platforms are you going to run for office on? So having an unlimited sum of money to distort your opponents positions, fear monger, and lie about your own ideas and intentions must have seemed like a long over- due blessing arriving in the nick-of-time. At a time of great inequality of wealth and the rapid increase of the minorities as a voting force, to represent the 1% interests against the middle classs and to favor legislation and policies which are punitive to or discriminative toward those majority groups would seem to be a rather daunting task.
The result, short-term, however, was that Republican candidates that would not have been given the time-of-day by the Republican party campaign machine in previous campaigns were able to round up sugar-daddies to fund their runs for President and stay in the race. In the days before Citizens United, the party would have refused to give them money and their campaigns would simply have gone away.
So now the Republican campaign has become more divisive, lasted longer, and created an ever rightward listing message and policy platform, perhaps weakening the appeal of the Republican Party to the rank-and-file American voter in the general election.
Short term, Republican candidates have simply paid no heed to the preferences of the mainstream party because the money as stick and carrot power of the party proper has been eroded by the sugar-daddy money permitted by the Citizens United ruling.
Long term, however, the situation may be even more ominous for politicians. I could see where rich businessmen may have always nurtured a bit of healthy contempt for politicians running around kissing the rings of monied interests to curry favor and glean money for their campaigns, essentially prostituting themselves to the will of their benefactors for the benefit of being their private lackey and celebrity (and having a fairly cushy, high profile position in society at the same time).
Now, rich individuals and corporate chieftains have unlimited money and unlimited choices as to who they would like to hire to do their bidding. So if the amount of money they can spend is unlimited and they can choose whoever they want to represent their interests in government, why would they choose politicians, who at best are only not fully committed and faithful prostitutes. Why wouldn't they just turn to the lobbyists who are already representing their interests on a daily basis to all facets of government, including members of Congress, and say, "Let's cut out the middle man and just run you for Congress directly. That way there is no question of the loyalty, time commitment, and willingness to do what you are paid to do because you are already doing it." There is no question who you work for, and no annoying legislator constituent considerations to muddy-up the process of good, advantageous legislation.
In the old days lobbyists created the public illusion of respectability and arms-length influence. With Citizens United, the pretense is no longer necessary, so why bother bribing politicians to do you bidding when you can just have your own employees and lobbyists do it instead. Makes sense to me.
If Citizens United stands, political parties and the traditional politician may be an endangered species.

Featured Health Business Daily Story, Feb. 1, 2013
Reprinted from REPORT ON MEDICARE COMPLIANCE, the nation's leading source of news and strategic information on Medicare compliance, Stark and other big-dollar issues of concern to health care compliance officers.
A federal judge on Jan. 17 nixed a proposed settlement of criminal and civil allegations against WakeMed Health & Hospitals in Raleigh, N.C., causing a stir in the world of fraud negotiations.
U.S. District Judge Terrence Boyle set another hearing for Feb. 5 to determine the fate of a deal that the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina struck with WakeMed, which was accused of submitting inpatient claims for procedures that were performed in an outpatient setting (RMC 12/24/12, p. 1). WakeMed had agreed to pay $8 million and comply with a deferred prosecution agreement. If all goes well, prosecutors will drop the criminal charges after two years.
That did not sit well with the judge. "It's very difficult for society and the court to differentiate between the everyday working Joe or Jane who goes to prison and the nonprofit corporate giant who doesn't go to jail, who gets a slap on the hand and doesn't miss a beat," Boyle said, according to a report in the Raleigh News & Observer. The agreement, the judge said, seems like a "slap on the hand" for a "too big to fail" corporate giant. "Why not take a guilty plea, defer imposition of the judgment and sentence, and come back in two years and take a post hoc dismissal?" the newspaper reported the judge saying. (A transcript of the hearing was not available by press time.)
The judge's comments were unusual on procedural grounds alone, says former federal prosecutor Richard Westling, now with Waller Lansden in Nashville. The Federal Rules of Evidence (Rule 11(c)) allow judges to accept or reject a plea agreement, "but he is not supposed to dictate the terms," Westling says. "Typically, the judge doesn't participate."
But a more seismic change may be under way. "This is the kind of development that will cause lawyers representing health care companies to think long and hard about the way settlements are structured," Westling says. "If there is a substantial likelihood a judge will push back, it creates a huge challenge in the way that companies work to close their issues with the government and move on with their compliance obligations."
Another federal judge expressed misgivings after Pfizer Inc. paid $2.3 billion to resolve civil and criminal allegations of illegally promoting four drugs but no one was prosecuted. At Pfizer's sentencing in U.S. District Court in Boston, the judge complained that there was "no soul to condemn and no body to kick," according to federal prosecutor Jeremy Sternberg from the U.S. Attorney's Office (RMC 10/10/11, p. 1).
What's ironic about the WakeMed drama is it may have a chilling effect on the government's decision to include criminal allegations in cases against hospitals, Westling says. Although the judge may feel it's important to send a message that corporations shouldn't only pay fines but also face convictions, he may be perpetuating that outcome by creating uncertainty in the settlement process, Westling says. "One reason to use deferred prosecution agreements is [for the Department of Justice] to be tougher on entities by making it clear the conduct is criminal while recognizing the problems posed by a conviction. If you are going to be scared straight by the judge and told you need to whack these people more, does the government change its strategy? If so, what would that mean? Health care organizations are motivated to settle because they want closure and they want to go on with running their businesses and caring for patients with their new compliance obligations," Westling says. "Unpredictability about whether the court will accept a resolution that has been approved by the Department of Justice may make it harder to convince health care organizations that resolution is in their best interests."
The Department of Justice announced WakeMed's global resolution Dec. 19 in an unusual twist on short stays and medical necessity. The criminal information focused on WakeMed's 41-bed Health Center Observation Area, which had no licensed inpatient beds. Physicians never planned for patients to stay overnight as inpatients, but WakeMed billed Medicare for MS-DRGs anyway, the information alleged. Patient access staff allegedly disregarded or circumvented physicians' outpatient orders in the electronic database, and the hospital billed for cardiac patients as if they were inpatients even though they didn't remain in the hospital overnight.
Former federal prosecutor Robert Trusiak says the judge's actions show, again, that "the judiciary plays an active role, not a passive role, in global resolutions." Boyle's comments and his refusal to approve the settlement, at least for now, are consistent with the central theme of the Department of Justice's 2003 "Thompson memorandum," which addresses prosecutions of businesses. Written by then-Deputy Attorney General Larry Thompson, the memo requires prosecutors to treat corporate persons the same as natural persons, says Trusiak, now senior counsel and chief compliance officer for Kaleida Health in Buffalo, N.Y. "If a prosecutor is going to seek to convict a bank embezzler of embezzling $10,000, then the policy requires equal vigor for corporate persons. That's my take on what the judge did."
Trusiak also has concerns about deferred prosecution agreements. "Prosecutions must vindicate two goals: punishment and deterrence. It is difficult to determine how deferred prosecution agreements vindicate either of those goals," he says.
Westling speculates on possible scenarios for WakeMed's Feb. 5 return to court:
(1) The benefits of the global resolution are presented and the judge will accept the deal. He says that WakeMed and the government may want to highlight the services that the hospital provides to the community, such as charity care, and explain the effect on the community of a criminal conviction and Medicare exclusion.
(2) Hospital officials show up in court this time. At the Jan. 17 hearing, the judge criticized WakeMed for not sending anyone but its lawyer, according to the News & Observer. As a result, no board member or top administrator could answer Boyle's questions. Westling says one strategy for the February hearing may be to have a high-level corporate representative attend, prepared to accept responsibility on behalf of the hospital. This could change the way the judge looks at the case, he says.
(3) Before the second hearing, WakeMed and the government could agree to make the settlement more punitive by increasing the amount of money WakeMed has to pay or extending the length of the deferred prosecution agreement from two years to perhaps five years, which is the length of the corporate integrity agreement that is also required in the global resolution. The judge may find the global resolution more palatable, Westling says.
Whatever happens, the debate rages on among enforcers and Medicare watchdogs about the best way to enforce the laws. More prosecutions of individuals versus corporations? Some U.S. attorneys believe that pursuing corporations is the way to go. But, Westling notes, "lately the Justice Department, OIG and Congress have been pointing out the number of recidivist corporations. The government believes that corporate misconduct only occurs because people do it. Clearly, enforcers are weighing whether it's time to go back to bodies and souls."

It actually sounds kind of cool, like as a GP, but I think it sounds more masculine. Sort of like Sylvester. I like Sylvie or Sylvia for a girl better, but I guess it could work.

If you're using an IDE, you can configure it to do these sorts of things. They're quite powerful. I currently use Eclipse and know that it is already configured to insert System.out.println(...) if I type in sysout<ctrl-space>.
You're welcome. Note that if you're using NetBeans, that I'm sure that it has something similar.
Eclipse FOREVER xD

I think that was because of the original planned ending where he ends up with Knives.
I think that was because of the original planned ending where he ends up with Knives.
Oh, much more understandable then. I need to read the comics.
Actually, he ends up with Ramona in the comics.
You! Put spoiler tags in!
You! Fix your post so that the spoiler isn't in your post as well!
This is a matter of "it's happened before with spoilers and it gets annoying for people who don't know".
Assuming you've got it on DVD, watch the deleted scenes. There's 2 alternate cuts of Ramona & Scott's first date. The second one is really badly edited, but the first one is great; absolute shame that it was cut, especially since it makes the entire Ramona/Scott romance far more believable.
Not much of a spoiler IMO, since that's what the whole thing is about.
I liked the Knives ending more.
And then they play Ninja dance revolution for the rest of eternity.
<- Festive Scott erryday
Also great movie
Aww crap, the DVD and Blu-ray versions will get here in 2011. There goes my hopes of getting this for Christmas. :(
Watched this Friday night. Liked it quite a bit.
Serious question, and I can't be arsed to read 32 pages in case somebody else has already asked it: doesn't the ridiculous amount of fanservice in this movie bother anyone else?
What exactly do you mean by fanservice?
The whole tsundere thing with Ramona magically falling in love with Scott and then wanting to fuck him on the first hangout, which was a reluctant event to begin with. There's more but this is what bothered me the most.
That's because it's an ADAPTATION. Since you didn't read the rest of the thread, you likely didn't notice that Ramona's whole cold personality was due to the intended original ending where she leaves and Scott ends up with Knives.
This movie is absolutely amazing!
Damnit, I wanted to order the precious little box set from Amazon.com, which used to cost 37$, but now it costs 60$!!
This book selling website has it for sale on about 45$, but it's currently out of order and I have no idea how long will it take them to resupply.
Edgar Wright is a directing genius.
The Sex Bob-omb songs are a regular in my playlist.
It's just that the comic happens over the span of a year and some months while the movie is RUSH RUSH RUSH CONSECUTIVE BATTLE KEEP IT FRESH NOW SEX! WHO DOESNT LIKE IT?
Just watched this. Great movie.
I watched it last night a bit confusing at first with all the instant transitions.
I don't like the fact they skipped a huge chunk of book 4 and Lisa.
Saw the trailer in the cinema a few months ago and thought it would suck. Watched it the day before yesterday and it was better than I expected, but not my kind of thing.
Yay, after watching this movie, my friends now thinks I'm badass because I play bass.
I urge everyone reading this who's unsure, to go and buy the DVD or comics if you're interested!
Got this for christmas. It wasn't as good as I expected it to be, but it was still quite good.
I loved it. Seen it four times so far, loved it every single time.
Sure, it's not "best-movie-of-the-year" material, but it's probably my favourite. Movies like Inception and others are obviously "better" movies, but my favourite movie of the year is definitely Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.
Hahaha what the fuck, the Blu-Ray has 5 commentaries.
this movie is amazing in surround sound
So I finally got around to renting the movie so I could view all the special features. I click on one, and it gives me a message "This is a rental copy. To view the special features, own the movie on blu-ray or dvd."
I didn't particularly enjoy it. I feel that if I knew more about it (and read the comics) I might have been able to appreciate it. I guess it would help if I was a fan of comic books in general.
I was listening to some White Stripes, and I realised that the beginning of Jimmy the Exploder sounds sort of similar to what a Sex Bob-Omb song might sound like.
Yeah, the vocals are nothing like Stephen Stills', but aside from the lack of bass, the instruments almost sound identical on that song.
Well, starting from about 26 seconds in.
"I gotta pee on her, I mean, I gotta pee."
"I'm in lesbians with you"
Either that or the L-word thing was the best.
that gossipy POOCH
"Guess who's drunk!" "I guess Wallace." "You guess right!"
total PEACH
wow so many unnecessary censors in that video.

Eh? There are Waschsalons all over the place in Berlin. What is a laundrette????
Washing Day.
Trip Start
Nov 27, 2012
Trip End
May 18, 2013
Strike one. So, being fairly intelligent people we asked at the reception desk of our hotel - even asking them to ring one of the numbers so that the existence of the laundrette could be verified. Strike two. This didn't work either - even the Germans found dry cleaners, except for one promising address not too far away.
Feeling very happy with our efforts we put our dirty washing into a bag (specifically brought on the trip to disguise our dirty washing) and set off to spend a happy (if boring) few hours doing our 'housework'. No such luck! You guessed it - another dry cleaners.
This time we did what every other Aussie abroad would do - we gave up. Instead, we decided to go and do some more touristy things on the other side of town - and because we were too lazy to go back to the hotel with the aforesaid bag, we hailed a taxi and off we went.
In the taxi, Steve mentions our search. The taxi driver (God bless him) decides that he will help us in our quest for the holy grail. (Why wouldn't he ? He had us captive in the cab with the meter running!)
As he was geting directions over the phone from his wife (in German of course), Steve spots a Laundrette! Yes really! With coin in the slot machines for washing, detergent and drying. To further brighten our day, it was right next door to a little pub, where we could keep warm (and Steve could drink) while our clothes were being cleaned.
So, as with all good stories, this one had a happy ending. Clothes are clean, travellers are happy, warm, fed and watered. Off to Krakow (Poland) tomorrow for a short visit and an excursion to Auschwitz.

Ex-Prosecutor Doesn't Recall Making Online Comments
A former federal prosecutor says he was taking sleep medication when he made anonymous online comments that later promoted a judge to overturn convictions in a major New Orleans police scandal.
In a federal court filing in Baton Rouge, Sal Perricone acknowledges making online comments that led to his 2012 resignation - and the eventual order of a new trial for police charged in deadly shootings after Hurricane Katrina.
But, Perricone says he was using the prescription drug Ambien at the time and doesn't remember many of the comments. He apologized and vowed never to repeat such conduct, although, he says, it was constitutionally protected.
Perricone hopes to preserve his right to practice law in the Baton Rouge-based federal court. He can no longer practice in the New Orleans district.

Quba (or Guba) is a city in Northeastern Azerbaijan. ContentsUnderstand[edit]This ancient city is the major city in the Quba Rayon. Quba is famous for producing high quality apples. In late summer, cars stuffed with apples are often see on the road carrying the fruit from Guba to other regions or from small towns to the city's cannery. Guba is also the hub for many summer vacationers. It attracts visitors with its cooler summer climate and beautiful mountain scenery. Guba is built on the western bank of the Qudailchay River. On the eastern bank is a rather exclusive Jewish community known as Red Settlement (Qırmızı Qesebe in Azeri or Krasnaya Sloboda in Russian), because of the collection of red roofs that can be seen from the nearby hilltop. The houses in Quba are noticeably smaller than the neighboring community. Due to its close proximity to Russia and its former inclusion in the U.S.S.R., most in the city know Russian. It is often assumed that outsiders will know this language. This might also explain a sense of paranoia with strangers found with some. You may be stopped by police and asked to show identification.

I was wondering if there is a way to get this to work.
/cast [nostance] Seal of Truth; Judgement
Are the new seals considered stances? If so, what you you have should work. If they're not considered stances, then no. You can't check for buffs with a macro.
It should work, but they changed the spelling for Judgment.
Code:/cast [nostance]Seal of Truth;Judgment
As long as Seals are registered as buffs there is no way for a macro to intelligently cast a Seal of its own accord when you lack one. A macro using a mod is the nearest thing you get to a one button macro for it.
Seals are not stances, they are buffs. Macros cannot check for buffs. Ergo, you have to utilize an alternate method.
Good job missing that my version's currently the only way to even get close to what you want. When somebody's being honestly helpful, being snide is no way to thank them.

Personalized Kid's Brief Case
I bought one for my nephew's birthday last year. This year my brother asked me to get one for my niece because they are fighting over his. He still carries it every where. He even takes it to bed. It's large enough that is holds Super Hero Squad figures and crayons. He really loves it and I love that he uses it and enjoys it.

Good morning, fellow political junkies.
The assessments of the meaning of the 2013 off-year elections continue, with both parties trying to draw lessons from Election Day's outcomes, with the likely overinterpretation of some of them, though it wasn't always clear which.
Just how the problems with the Affordable Care Act fit into those election results continue to be a big part of the evaluation of what happened Tuesday. And even as the continuing political fallout from Obamacare appeared to weigh down Democrats, the new bounce in the step of Republicans was almost perceptible.
With that, here are some of the more interesting items of political news and analysis that caught my eye this morning.
- The Obama administration needs the cooperation of the health insurance industry if the Obamacare website is to get fixed anytime soon. Which is why, even as many Democrats would like President Obama to blame the insurance industry for sabotaging the health law by with all those cancellation letters, the president has refrained, reports the Hill's Justin Sink. The insurers need all those newly insured healthy, young people Obamacare is supposed to funnel to them, as well.
- House Republicans plan to put Democrats on the spot next week over Obamacare. The GOP-controlled House has scheduled a vote next week on legislation named the "Keep Your Healthcare Plan Act of 2013," reports Roll Call's Emma Dumain.
- It's just such tactics by Republicans that have congressional Democrats deeply worried. A delegation of Senate Democrats visited the White House to vent at the president and hear his reassurances that fixes for the Obamacare website were on the way, reports National Journal's Michael Catalani.
- Some Democrats think their party missed an important opportunity to negatively define the newly re-elected New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (and potential 2016 Republican presidential candidate) during that state's gubernatorial campaign. So they plan to make up for lost time, reports the Washington Post's Philip Rucker.
- "Virginia is for lovers" — of recrimination. Different Republican camps are blaming each other for Ken Cuccinelli's close loss in a governor's race they view as winnable, report John Harris and Anna Palmer of Politico.
- Following the crushing defeat of a measure that would have increased individual income taxes rates in Colorado for investments in education, its supporters are attempting to regroup, reports Kevin Simpson of the Denver Post. The lopsided 65% to 35% defeat was a setback not only to education reform advocates beyond the state like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation which contributed to the pro-tax increase campaign but to Colorado Democrats whose fortunes had been improving in recent years in the state, reports the New York Times' Jack Healy.

Chaos Rings II for the iPhone/iPad has been garnering a lot of positive feedback since its release. It carries the rather heavy tagline: Would you sacrifice the one you love to save the world?
Square Enix released this title to the iTunes shop for $17.99, and I have not yet seen a bad review of this RPG title. I am curious if anyone else has tried this yet, and if so, what their thoughts were? I have to say that the visuals look fantastic from what I have seen so far. Don't believe me? Here are some images and a video as well.

At this day the farmer sets out on excursions quite as extensive without a para in his purse; and a modern Moslem prophet of Tarshisha thus sends forth his apostles over this identical region. No traveller in the East would hestitate to throw himself on the hospitality of any village." Thomson's Land and the Book. (See SCRIP.)

What do you think is going to happen to Star Wars after Episode 3?
I was just thinking about that.
HASBRO TOYS: I think Hasbro will do 3 3/4" figures until 2007 or 2008 and encompass probably everything.
2007 will probably see the last vehicles released, if anything is left to be made by then.
2008 might see some exclusive vehicle made for the 3 3/4" line for some special promotion.
Now Hasbro has the license for 10 more years.
I'm thinking they will switch sizes on the figures, and make Star Wars characters in the detail and with the accessories that mirror what ArtAsylum has done with Star Trek. Or in other words, they will make action figures, but more like something on the Unleashed size scale, with which they will revisit all the major characters previously made before, with the occasional extra alien or trooper, and those of us still down for the hobby, will be clamoring all over again for obscure characters like General Riekeen to be made for this line.
Me? I might buy some, but I think I'd be really particular, and just get a few that go together that are exceptionally detailed or something like that.
That's my guess.
To keep the 3 3/4" line going, they'd have to do at least one of several things:
1) keep rehashing or re-releasing Luke Tatooines, Cantina Hans, Naboo Pilot Anakins, Darth Mauls.
2) do an Expanded Universe line with vehicles etc. - This troubles me because it ought to have been done during New Jedi Order's height. Many of us remember Ulic Qel Droma and know who Kir Kanos is, however, many more of us DON'T read the Expanded Universe, and it greatly decreases the pool of potential buyers of say a Talon Karrde figure, almost 15 years after the character first made an appearance.
3) Change the size so that a larger group of us would possibly want the old characters like Tatooine Luke all over again.
4) Create a new multi-media thing having to do with video games, a TV show, or George actually making more movies. A really well-publicized new comic or book deal could work for Star Wars, too.
5) Action Fleet, or something with all ships in scale to each other, could come back as a new replica line.
Star Wars video games will continue for probably a few years longer than the action figures line could. It may prompt some figures being made to coincide with it, but I'm not sure that would be extensive.
Novels may continue to do well. They might eventually lead to a point where we see the DEATH OF LUKE SKYWALKER, and the Classic cast. They ought to. Adventures of Jaina and Jacen Solo, and Ben Skywalker, should be promoted and could establish a good following.
Comics will have to be coordinated with the adult novels, or they will continue to get worse - being limited to taking place within the movie-years parameters, or playing out a tiring theme of Vader killing Jedi and some already-published book adaptations. New Jedi Order comic adaptations would probably still prove to be really popular though - especially if they put Jan Duursema on the art work.
Another Tales of the Jedi-like comic series, that is set significantly enough in the past or the future might do well. But it may have to stretch out even longer than the 22 months that Ulic Qel Droma's epic tale took to tell. That would only stretch out the life of SW comics by 2 years at best. There should be some plan for the long term in place, you know?
Cartoon shows like Clone Wars, be them original or adaptations of existing comics and books, could stretch Star Wars' life for as long as 7 more years (the average length of a Star Trek franchise's run).
Live action shows could do similar feats.
I kid you not, but an on-going SW prime-time soap opera (in other words, continuing stories that change subject matter and character casting over time) could be awesome. "Soap opera" does not mean the show would not have great SW battles and plenty of action. Sometimes Star Trek Deep Space Nine gets called a soap opera, but it was the best Star Trek of any - and by far, with a Five Year Dominion War going on! (technically 4 years, for those of you who want to get anal about it).
This I would not mind, especially in the case of Jaina and Jacen Solo's ongoing adventures, POST-NJO!
That would be entirely up to George.
There are several possibilities.
1) George has or will have something planned.
2) a television Star Wars show, like Jaina and Jacen Solo's exploits becomes so popular, like Smallville, that a movie is demanded. George hands the franchise (on that angle) over to someone else to make the films with the TV cast.
3) George relinquishes control of the franchise.
Celebration 3 you know will rock. It will be the biggest by far, I'm sure.
2006-2016: conventions will see the regular bunch of attendies - that's a lot of us if they have special action figures.
2017- 2027: attendance will drastically fall. The need for disabled seating will rise amongst the still-attending, and the audience will largely consist of folks trying to recapture passing joy because their life hasn't gone anywhere but down the drain since they didn't have much of a life beyond Star Wars.
Professional counselors may be made available for people with pre-registration.
If a powerful television soap or something is still going on however, these conventions might be as lively and as enduring and full of young blood as say Star Trek conventions used to be before Deep Space Nine completed its first televison run.
Anyway, what do you think will happen?

Making squash casserole comes with some flexibility
Squash Casserole recipes have been floating around the Southern states for a long, long time. Yellow squash grows very well down there, and every gardener worth her beans grows yellow squash.
I've never had Boston Market's version of this recipe (the recipe that other column used), but I've seen lots of versions similar to it. Several use cream of mushroom soup, several use herb stuffing or more often cornbread stuffing mix. If you ask me, they're all good.
Several other versions use round buttery crackers and cheese, and that's the one I've chosen to use. I made it just last week, along with a pork roast in the Crock-Pot and a big green salad.
Of course, I had to improvise with the original recipe. I'm not sure where I got this recipe, but I'm pretty sure it was from some kind of community cookbook from Fort Smith, Arkansas.
As with many of my recipes, you can increase or decrease the amounts of some ingredients without affecting the final outcome. It's pretty flexible. Yellow squash, and its green cousin zucchini, grow like weeds. Remember my dire warnings about planting too many zucchini plants?
The yellow ones don't look like squash on steroids like zucchini do when they get too big, but they still grow quickly and often. I'm not growing any squash, but I do have a couple of things planted along with my herbs. The herbs are doing beautifully, and the Italian flat-leaf parsley is hard to stay ahead of.
I've cut what I think will be the last of the rhubarb, and while my tomato plant looks full and gorgeous and very green and has nine tomatoes the last time I counted them, they're still about the size of marbles. A friend of ours who lives up in Washington says he wouldn't live down here because you can't grow a decent `mater. Sometimes I think he may be right. My husband smiled indulgently at me the other day and said, "Hon, I know you like to grow a tomato plant, and I think it's a fine idea, but maybe you should rethink this. We won't see a tomato off that plant before Thanksgiving, even if a frost doesn't kill it in September."
He's right, of course. I think next year I'll try growing one of those little container tomato plants, and I can start it indoors come about April. By the time those little tomatoes get to be the size of marbles, maybe they'll be ripe. Or maybe I'll grow both, my standard Early Girl in the garden and a big pot on the patio with some little cherry tomatoes.
One way or another, I'm bound to pick a ripe tomato by at least Labor Day.
Yellow Squash Casserole
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a casserole dish with Pam (I used a square cake pan to bake this)
3 or 4 medium yellow squash, sliced
1-1/2 cups shredded medium sharp Cheddar cheese (if you have only 1 cup on hand, you can get by with that)
4-5 tablespoons stick butter or margarine
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped red bell pepper
1/2 to 3/4 of a sleeve of Ritz crackers, crushed
Cook sliced squash in boiling water until just tender crisp, a couple of minutes. Don't let them cook so long they get mushy. You want them to hold their shape. Drain squash in a strainer for about 2 minutes to make sure all the liquid is gone.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter or margarine in a large frying pan. Saute onion and red bell pepper until onion is soft and translucent. Add squash to the pan with onion; add cheese and stir gently to mix. Stir in half of the crushed Ritz crackers (this will help thicken the squash mixture, so you judge for yourself if you need more crackers to make it as thick as you want). Pour into the greased casserole dish.
In the same frying pan, melt the remaining butter and stir in the rest of the crushed Ritz crackers (if mixture seems too dry, add more butter). Spoon this mixture over the top of the casserole. (You can use your own judgment here, too. Some people will like more crunchy topping. Adjust accordingly.)
Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, until golden brown on top.
Makes 4-6 servings
Notes: If you're watching how much butter you use, you can certainly saut' the onion and red bell pepper in Pam, if you like. You will need to use some melted butter or margarine to stir into the crackers that go on top.
This dish is best eaten right away. It doesn't reheat well because the cracker topping gets too soggy.

"I didn't have a manager, I didn't have a band, I was just a songwriter. But I needed to get my foot in the door, so I took the dollar."
Bryan Adams
"[Also a songwriter (and guitarist), she's working on a solo CD.] It's kind of up in the air, ... I'm having a hard time; I want to make it special. Musical theatre is my first love. My writing is sort of folk-rock. I get compared to Tori Amos and Joni Mitchell — though I'm not nearly as talented as either. Neither a straight-pop album nor a musical-theatre album seems the way to go. I want to take my music and orchestrate it in a kind of old fashioned style, and take some standards and 'popularize' them — do a true crossover. I'm working on it."
Laura Benanti
"One other thing, if it's possible, as songwriters, you should also develop yourself as record producers."
Barry Mann
"[Founded by vocalist Amy Lee and guitarist-songwriter Ben Moody in the late '90s, the band has only gained momentum since its song] Bring Me To Life ... Daredevil."
Ben Affleck
"Let's face it, ... I'm not the most marketable songwriter out there today. But there are still some people who want to hear those songs. I'm grateful I've found ways to get the songs to them."
Colin Hay
"You're fools to try to be songwriters!"
"He's so gifted. Besides singing, Patrick is a wonderful pianist and songwriter. He's just really good."
Chris Brandon
"It was never predicted that I would be a songwriter - with this bohemian lifestyle,"
Christine Lavin
"We have broader goals, like to become better musicians or a better band or better songwriters or to put on a better live show."
Chris Culos

Scientist to Retrieve Detailed Photos of Greenland's 2010 Record Ice Melt
You'll forgive Jason Box for being a little impatient these days. After all, you would be too if you were in his position. As a geologist specializing in Greenland's glaciers and climate at Ohio State's Byrd Polar Research Center, in the summer of 2009 Box placed high resolution, wide-angle time-lapse cameras along the Petermann Glacier in northwestern Greenland, near where it flows into the sea.
Polar Researcher Jason Box placed time-lapse cameras along the Petermann Glacier in 2009. Credit: Ohio State University/Jason Box.
Then, this past summer, a 290 square kilometer chunk of ice (that's about four times the size of Manhattan)broke off the ice shelf and floated away. Those cameras, as far as he knows, captured the extraordinary event in vivid detail.
There's just one problem — he hasn't been able to go back to retrieve the images.
So far the world has only seen NASA satellite images of the ice shelf breakup, which, interesting as they may be, are difficult to put into context. On-the-ground imagery of such an ice loss event could help drive home the reality of how quickly climate change is reshaping the Arctic, and what it means for the rest of the world given the ice's role in raising global sea levels.
Unfortunately for Box, who served as the lead author of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) "2010 Arctic Report Card," he was unable to obtain the funding and logistical support last year — such as a ship and a helicopter — needed to retrieve the hourly images, and add more equipment in an effort to document the glacier's movement.
"It's likely [the cameras] operated," Box says, "and if they did, some very wide angle, high res. photos" were obtained, pointed right at the area where the ice broke free from the glacier.
"It was pretty difficult to turn our backs on it this year," he says, noting that, thanks to new support from the National Science Foundation and a donor in the U.K., he plans to return to Petermann with his colleagues by the spring of 2011.
"We just need to put the logistics into place."
Growing Concern About Fate of Marine-Terminating Glaciers
The Petermann Glacier isn't just a photogenic location, it's also a central focus of research as scientists try to ascertain how quickly and extensively Greenland's ice cover is melting due at least in part to global climate change. Their focus is increasingly turning to Greenland's northern glaciers, which are showing the greatest mass loss and are dominating the losses of ice area, Box says.
Scientists are using satellites such as NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate (GRACE) satellite and field studies to keep tabs on glacial ice. They are observing differences in melting trends between so-called "ice shelf glaciers," which have a floating area of ice known as an "ice tongue" that is present year-round, and glaciers that develop seasonal ice tongues.
Box says ice shelf glaciers, such as Petermann, are showing a greater sensitivity to the warming climate, but that large amounts of ice were lost throughout Greenland during the 2010 melt season.
"There is a signal of ice shelf loss within these warm years that suggests that the ice shelf loss at Petermann and some of these other large glaciers is with some confidence triggered by these warm summers," he says.

As is explained in the Arctic Report Card, which was released last month, scientists are especially concerned about marine-terminating glaciers such as Petermann, because they serve as the outlets for large amounts of ice from the land into the sea.
Box says a large calving event, such as what occurred with the Petermann Glacier, can speed up a glacier's slide towards the sea:
It is of concern because there is no expected or known mechanism to reverse the accelerated loss. It's like removing a cork from a bottle. It will take an extended cold period to grow back the glacier ice on the front of a glacier like Petermann.
"The big question I think everyone wants to know," Box says, is whether global warming is driving the ice loss such as the calving event seen last summer.
"[The] Balance of evidence is strongly suggesting" a relationship to warming temperatures, Box says, but exactly how such warming is driving ice loss is unclear. He notes two warming-related processes that are probably playing a role: surface melt and "hydrofracture," a process by which water fills crevices in the ice and forces them apart.
Warmest Summer in Greenland Since Records Began in 1873.
According to the report card, last summer was Greenland's warmest since instrumental records began. Collectively, marine-terminating glaciers lost an area of 419 square kilometers, which is 3.4 times the loss rate seen during each of the previous eight years.
"There is now clear evidence that the ice area loss rate of the past decade is greater than loss rates pre-2000," the report card states. The report also notes an expansion of the area and duration of Greenland ice melt during 2010, compared to past years.
As Box puts it, "What happened in Greenland really was exceptional in the observational record."
