Star Wars Pinball Boba Fett Table
Posted by Oly in Media, PSN, QuickNews, Star Wars Pinball on February 22nd, 2013
This has to be my favorite Pinball table of all time.
The Boba Fett pinball table features fast-paced pinball action, and focuses on several major moments in Boba Fett's bounty hunting career as he takes on jobs from two clients: the Galactic Empire and the Hutts. The table would not be complete without a Han Solo in Carbonite spinner and Sarlacc Pit!
Star Wars Pinball is releasing next week!

It's easy to become a part of the Virginia Woof family. Simply print and complete our application and call to schedule a screening appointment.
>> Application Form
Initial Screening Appointment
On your first visit your dog will go through a screening process. During your screening appointment you will be able to meet with an experienced staff member who will review the enrollment application with you and answer any questions you may have about our daycare and boarding services.
We will then slowly enter your dog to the daycare by first introducing them to a small group of dogs. As your dog seems comfortable we will continue to introduce them to more dogs. This slow introduction ensures a safe experience for your dog and an opportunity for Virginia Woof and you to accurately assess whether our daycare is the best match for your dog.
- We accept dogs 4 months of age and older.
- All dogs must be spayed or neutered by six months of age.
- All dogs must be on current flea control.
- All dogs must be current on vaccinations (Please check application for current shots required).
- Please call to to schedule your screening appointment.
"Homeless youth have circumstances out of their control that put them on the streets and they may have gotten off-track. But they can still change. Before I came to Outside In, I had 11 interviews in one year. It was a frustrating year that left me feeling deflated. I knew I had to do two things: get an education and get some help with job training.
While working on my education at Outside In, I was also working on building skills to find employment. I went through the job training program at Virginia Woof and had great success. After the program, I was able to get a full time job. Now, I'm balancing a full-time job and college. It takes a lot, but my mind is set on where I want to go."
"Our chocolate lab Riley cannot stay home by himself because he has major separation anxiety. I never knew a dog could destroy a couch and chair in one day. We took him to a day care that didn't work for him so I went on line to check the list recommended by the Humane Society. As I read the names, Virginia Woof jumped out at me. I pulled up their web site and as I read I knew it was where Riley needed to be.
What really impressed me was that Riley would go to a place to be taken care of and at the same time he would be helping a great program for young people. Since he has been going to Virginia Woof his whole demeanor has changed. He knows when he is going to doggie day care and the closer we get the more excited he gets. His eyes light up and the tail is going a hundred miles a minute. When we get to the door he tries to push it open to get in quicker. The interaction everyday at day-care seems to have given him a sense of confidence which he takes every where. We are very grateful to Virginia Woof and all the great people who work there for all that they have done for Riley and us."
Linda, owner of Riley
"My favorite part of working for VW is the great staff. The love they share for the dogs and the time they put into training me and other young people is amazing. Being with dogs all day is all I could ask for!"
"Virginia Woof has the nicest facility at the greatest location, making delivery of my dog, Blue, both convenient and enjoyable. The staff seems genuinely happy to greet Blue and to entertain him throughout the day. I leave Blue in their able hands and depart for my office without a thought. Knowing I am supporting an offshoot of Outside In makes even writing the check a joy."
Christi, owner of Blue
"Virginia Woof is an excellent place to learn how to be a leader of a pack of dogs"
"I can't even begin to tell you how thrilled we are to be bringing Louie in to Virginia Woof. We can see that Louie is learning things from his stays there. It's nice to know that when you drop off your "child" that they aren't just thrown into a room with toys. You guys really provide the whole package and then some. It's a win, win for everyone involved. Your program should be the blueprint for all dog day cares.
We love having Louie there. He comes home happy & tired. What more can we ask for? Thank you so much for all of the effort you put in to working with the dogs. You all are amazing."
Kelly, family member of Louie
"Happiness is acceptance."

For the audition round, participants will each create a 45-90 second AMV using one of the provided songs. Depending on the number of submissions, not all participants may end up getting judged/interviewed via Voice Chat for episode screen time (all videos will judged, but we cannot guarantee live judging). Like American Idol, the best and the most entertaining contestants will be prioritized for screen time.
There will be a two week break (plus or minus a couple of days) between the audition round deadline (September 30th) and the beginning of the next round. After that there will be a one week break between each round. Editing time for the finalist rounds (everything but the audition round) will be between 5 and 7 days.
The AMVs for finalist rounds will be based on pre-determined themes. Three finalists will be eliminated each round. Auditions round will be judged by staff (including judges, but excluding hosts) based on a fixed set of scoring criteria. The first 4 rounds will be judged by the judging staff (i.e. the permanent judges and the guest judge of the round).
The winner of the final round will be determined via web-site poll. An 8th episode will announce the winner, and provide a retrospective.
Judging and hosting will be recorded through Skype Voice Chat , and the VC content will be edited to avatars that each have varying reactions/expressions but are not fully animated. Beta-coaching will be provided for finalists. Willingness to play-up drama is HIGHLY encouraged of participants (we will include a disclaimer at the end explaining to the audience that participants were asked to ham up their reactions), but not required.
The blocks for Hosting are: Thursday and Sunday (after 9PM EDT/EST)
Hosting blocks for Judging are: Tuesday and Thursday (7-10 PM EDT/EST)

To help diagnose hoarding disorder, mental health providers perform a thorough psychological evaluation. They may ask questions about your acquiring and discarding of items and your emotional well-being. They may also ask your permission to talk with relatives and friends.
Hoarding disorder appears to be more common in people with psychological disorders, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), depression or anxiety disorder. So your mental health provider may also ask questions to see if you have symptoms of other mental health disorders.
To be diagnosed with hoarding disorder, you must meet criteria listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), published by the American Psychiatric Association. This manual is used by mental health providers to diagnose mental conditions and by insurance companies to reimburse for treatment.
Diagnostic criteria for hoarding disorder include:

New Randy Newman musical opens in L.A.
He's one of the most accomplished and busy composers of his generation, but in conversation Randy Newman does an excellent job of sounding like a normal guy – a blue-collar songsmith, if you will.
When asked about his latest project, "Harps and Angels," a theatrical revue based on his music, Newman was typically low-key and self-deprecating.
"I basically have no control over this production, but the idea behind it, I think, is good," said Newman, 66, about the world-premiere staging that opens Nov. 21 at the Mark Taper Forum. "There are songs I've written that I don't ever perform, but they work on stage in a (context) like this. That's enjoyable. I guess it's too late for me to take any credit."
Director Jerry Zaks and writer Jack Viertel have created a show that makes thematic connections between some of Newman's better known songs, including "I Think It's Going to Rain Today," "Sail Away," "Marie," "Louisiana 1927," "Feels Like Home," "You've Got a Friend in Me" and "I Love L.A."
But the story is neither clear-cut nor autobiographical, Newman said.
"It's not necessary for there to be a story with characters in order for it to work as a show. They've done a really good job of putting songs together for a reason and having stuff make sense."
"Harps and Angels," which takes its name (though not its music) from Newman's well-received 2008 album, unfolds a number of smaller yarns rather than trying to find a larger through-line, according to Newman.
"Some parts are standalone production numbers, but there's not an overarching story line. It doesn't work when you try to impose that on a group of songs that were unrelated to begin with. Well, it worked for 'Mamma Mia,' but I don't know why."
Newman's exquisitely crafted songs are often little operas in themselves, with stories and characters that celebrate the oddness and unpredictability of the everyday. Many are also hilarious – a Newman specialty. Often the humor emanates from the unreliability of the songs' narrators.
"Funny isn't something that a lot of composers feel comfortable with," Newman said. "I just like comedy. For whatever reason, I started doing these stories using people that you couldn't quite trust. I've been doing it for a long time. It's not like I have a lot of emulators."
Newman, an Oscar winner, has spent much of his creative time on film scores over the last three decades, and he's done as well as any Hollywood composer in that realm: "Ragtime," "Awakenings," "The Natural," "Leatherheads," "James and the Giant Peach," "Meet the Parents," "Seabiscuit," "The Princess and the Frog," "Toy Story" and its two sequels, "A Bug's Life," "Monsters, Inc."
But the L.A.-born, Louisiana-raised composer has dabbled regularly in musical theater as well, starting with "Maybe I'm Doing It Wrong" at the La Jolla Playhouse in 1983; a version of the Faust legend in 1995, also in La Jolla; and a semi-autobiographical revue, "The Education of Randy Newman," at South Coast Repertory in 2000.
It's the creative freedom and a fascination with musical theater's intensely collaborative process that keep Newman coming back.
"(Musical theater) is the kind of thing that I can put everything I know into it, in terms of the songs and orchestration and the narrative. And I was satisfied with 'Faust' as a piece of work. But I also enjoyed the process. To see people dancing to your stuff and practicing arcane arts, like lighting and costumes, is thrilling to me. It's a big deal to make something that complicated really work."
Newman said such collaboration is a refreshing departure from the world of film composing.
"You're sort of told what to do in the movies. Basically it's usually one person who's in charge; it's not a democratic medium. Theater has the potential to be that."
But freedom has its limits. Newman says he works better when he's got an assignment and some restrictions.
"With my own writing, I like to have a project in front of me, you know? I don't like to sit there with nothing. I have never liked that feeling. Four hours is a long time to sit with nothing to show for it – it beats real work, but not by much."
While he's not creating a new musical from scratch with this project, Newman hinted that he might be tempted in the future to try something completely original.
"I have a couple of ideas and I've been threatening to do them for a while. It's a long process and time may well be short, but I have to do them. I've talked a little about (doing) the life of Jane Fonda (as a musical). I've talked to her about it. I love all the inexplicable decisions she's made throughout her life. The contrasts are incredible: The exercise video, Vietnam, Vassar. Her life fascinates me."
Another avenue that Newman has so far not traversed is music for the concert hall. He admits he has trepidations about dressing his compositions in a tux and tails – but he hasn't discounted the possibility either.
"What I haven't done is write a piece of serious music, whether for chamber group or orchestra. I could get it played, but I've never done it. I don't think I've got enough interest or motivation yet. But maybe soon. Maybe soon."

It's common knowledge that we should eat nutritiously and exercise regularly in order to live healthier and fitter lives. While a significant number of individuals have well-meaning intentions to make these habits a reality, for far too many the best-made plans aren't always followed to fruition. Due to hectic schedules and a plethora of commitments, the time, focus and energy we should be devoting to improving and enhancing our own health and fitness are being diverted into a multitude of other areas. To remedy this situation, a blueprint for success that everyone can adopt and adhere to for the duration is needed.
In his newest book, Feel Younger Now! You Can Do It! Donald McGrath, Ph.D., introduces a plan to make this happen. Combining information he gleaned from researching, interviewing, and working with over 50 athletes over 50 years of age for his book Dream It, Live It! Love It! along with effective strategies that he developed through his group coaching program, Project Wow, McGrath has put together a workable formula that is simple to understand and easy to perform.
Based on the notion that it takes 21 days for a new activity to become a habit, McGrath instructs his readers to learn, practice and ultimately maintain seven new sets of routines that will ultimately become regular habits. The first one is performed for three weeks and only after it is engrained into daily life should the next one be added to the format. This continues in sequence until all have been integrated into everyday life.
The seven practices which need to be followed in this exact order are: Habit #1: Tapping into Your PLAY Instinct; Habit #2: Getting Better Sleep; Habits #3 and #4: Getting Regular and Vigorous Exercise; Habits #5 and #6: Eating the Right Foods in the Right Amounts and Habit #7: Making a Habit of Building Habits. McGrath provides excellent explanations and examples on how to incorporate each skill into daily life through personal stories and anecdotes, practical advice and accepted scientific methodology.
To help his readers stay on track and keep up with the program, McGrath offer a plethora of additional information and resources. Included in the "bonus gifts" are a free audio book download of the audio version of McGrath's book Dream It, Live It, Love It: Beyond Well, Beyond 50; opportunities to email him at his website for continued communication; free download of a recipe booklet on healthy and tasty recipes; the opportunity to save on tuition for an upcoming Project Wow and free access to program materials and training videos online for his 21 Days 7 Habits training program.
Written in an easy-to-understand style, filled with a sensible and doable approach to diet and exercise guidelines and enhanced with continuing support, Feel Younger Now! is a book definitely worth reading.

Four Westgate Prisoners Charged With Assault
Four prisoners — Troy Harris, Noet Barnett, Jakai Harford, Antoine Anderson — all appeared in Magistrates Court this morning [Apr 25] charged with assault causing actual bodily harm to Malik Cann on February 26th 2013.
Magistrate Khamisi Tokunbo asked if the alleged offence occurred inside Westgate Prison, and the Crown replied yes. All four defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges, and will remain in custody.

Here comes another concurrent sentence.
Right. Another waste of time.
I hope at the very least this will scrap any possibility of parole for these four criminals since this would appear to be a big "X" in the good behavior column.
These guys are getting out way to early!
I hate that this -- guy [Khamisi Tokunbo] is still a judge....
Knowing that they have had no form of mediation why would you give opposing sides 'yard time' (not sure of correct prison term) at the same time? IJA......
Good point. This is a disturbing and growing trend.
Hey, I'm all for it. Once gambling is approved we can sell tickets and make a book on it. Raise a little money and possibly reduce long term costs by eliminating some garbage at the same time. I call that a win-win situation.
5 years SOLITARY.
I agree - if even after your are locked up you don't appreciate your time in the yard with other humans and can't behave like one- perhaps you will appreciate it some more if you spend some time in solidary confinement like a caged animal.
ya why do you take them to court & nothing happens?? concurrent sentences just means they can get away with it again!something needs to be done!
It takes four guys to beat one! Bunch of punks and now you think you are tuff. Bunch of sissy's
Pipe down you aint talkin bout s$%t! And you wouldn't say that to their faces so spare your opinion until next time!
why is it that our blacks are fighting blacks while the white is just sitting back & laughing. come on my black people because SOON there isnt going to be none left. its so sad, what the hell went wrong. what happen to LOVE THY NEIGHBOR. ITS SO HEART BREAKING DAM.
Why are inmates fighting anyway in prison? Is there a prize or something for proving you are a "bad boy" even in prison? Surely by starting fights and trouble etc. you are going to get and do more time if found guilty? That is so dumb.
Obviously no constructive programmes in place and not enough officers to oversee the prisoners. Wsting more of my my damn hard earned money by keeping the scum bags in jail longer.
Ship them out to Mexico, Cuba, Russia or any of the hole in the whole, gotta fight to survive prisons to show them what real jail is like.
Harford does not want to get out of jail! It MUST be someone up there he's sticking around for!
Don't be a living a#s! This is such an ignorant statement! Just because you're accused doesn't mean you're guilty! And just because you've been imprisoned does not make you a monster!
Until you know a someone you can never fairly assess them! So kindly STFU!
i AGREE WITH YOU BUBBLES, SOME PPL JUST HAVE A WHOLE LOTTA RAY RAY TO GO WITH BUT THEY NEED TO LOOK @ THIER OWN BACK YARD & SHUT THE ---- UP & YES HARFORD IS MY COUSIN.
And? What does him being your cousin have to do with the fact that he is a jail bird? He loves jail! And that's a known fact! This isn't his first offense since serving time for what he's really in there for! He's had time put on top of time before! So you're going to tell me shut up because he's your cousin?! Grow up and base your comments on fact and not emotions please!
I have reason for saying what I said. Don't like it, YOU shut up! And I don't mean kindly...
I'd be curious to know at the very least if these prison assualt offenders that end up getting concurrent sentences if found guilty (so essentially no punishment) get their offences and behaviour taken in to consideration when they are up for parole? You would think then at the very least that if the Magistrates aren't going to tack on more jail time (and they should), and if these guys aren't being thrown in to solitary (which they should), then they should be denied parole for their original offense.
One can hope....
@ SMDH 100% agree with you. No Parole after acting the fool while in prison.
I was just posting a similar comment - I agree!
I wanna know what would happen if they assaulted a officer.Caz our system is terrible.Our the courts simply don't value prisoners lives.
Correction - our courts don't value the lives of the victims of these criminals crimes! Screw these criminals lives! Consider what many of them have done,(kill, rape, steal, molest) and how they have destroyed the lives of many - I say let them rot. By the way one is my brother and another my cousin. Their poor decisions were their own and not a reflection of their family life.
Listen @ pickup you sound like an Uncle Tom! That's what's wrong with black peoples mindsets so quick to disregard/disown their own people! The WHITE man has drilled this way of thinking into US black people! But, do we say f$#% the white man who destroyed my ancestors and my future generations forthcoming?! NO we do not! Instead of tearing down these people offer them a supportive hand because they are suffering
Second that!!
Nah you got it twisted sister. Part of ya mindset is bringin us down. The last sentence by pickup is de truth. real talk. Example: If so and so was ya bra n did ya cousin in you wouldn't condemn it?! Dat messed up!
Pickup last sentence is the only truth to his judgmental point of view.
What's right is right and what's wrong is wrong!
But I also know if you stick your hand in a lion's mouth expect to get bitten!
And "gangsters" are the real ones suffering. They have such a huge void within themselves they seek the street way of life where they find false hope, love and support and end up either dead or in jail!Instead of tearing down one another we NEED to be united!
Black people are always pointing the finger! Family or not black people lack supportive mentalities towards their own kind!
I would like to know, what type of rehabilitation program do they have in the entire Correctional Facilities. How do you employ Case Workers or Social Workers. Oh! I know it depends on Govt. HR Department sending applications to the Director of that Department, and if I know you or one of your family members or have some social interaction with you, I will short list you and interview you and than see that you get the position. Unfortunately this happens throughout Government hiring. That's why we dont get the best of the best. Or maybe it is a family connection, since we have a lot of that happening in Bermuda. Do you know there is a family connection from the HR Dept. to a high up officer of the Civil Dept.to a member of Parliament, to a Senator, that are all first cousins( each one of them have a parent that is siblings). Imagine that and how the circle of family and friends can get employed under that connection. Surnames are different for all but blood line is the same. Just go to a wedding or funeral sometime and than do the research, it is easy to paper trail. Plus they all embrace the same political party as quiet as that is kept.
The Commissioner and the Minister are so quick to highlight themselves when there is something positive coming out of Correctional Facilites. But were are they at times like this. We the Public want to hear from you.
gang rape in prison is a serious issue..just didnt think that the tough 'gangstas' are into that...lol Harford is a f$%

It never fails that during a live sporting event when the loved one of a sports figure gets some TV time, everyone is clamoring to find out more — especially if said loved one is an attractive woman.
In the tradition of Katherine Webb and Amanda Marcum Enfield, Amanda Dufner is causing quite a stir after husband Jason Dufner won the 2013 PGA Championship Sunday (Aug. 11), most notably because of the pat on the behind she received after his win.
What do we know about Dufner? Well, she's a graduate of the University of Alabama, where she went to school for hotel management. A mutual friend introduced the then-Amanda Boyd to Dufner in 2009. They were able to begin dating in earnest after she graduated in 2010 and the two became engaged in 2011 during dinner at a rooftop bar in New York City and were married in 2012.
The 2013 PGA Championship was Jason Dufner's first major win on the tour. Previously, his best finish at a major were two fourth-place ties at the 2012 and 2013 U.S. Open tournaments.

College Campuses as Affordable Travel Destinations
March 13, 2009 | Jane Margolies | New York Times
"[...] The Museum of Art at the Rhode Island School of Design, in Providence, which last year opened its Rafael Moneo-designed Chace Center gallery space, teams up with nearby hotels to offer travel packages in connection with high-profile exhibitions (tickets to a recent Dale Chihuly show were combined with a room at the Providence Biltmore). Hope Alswang, the museum director, said that 75 percent of its visitors were unaffiliated with the college. "When times are rough, maybe you can't go to the Cape for a week," said Ms. Alswang. "But you might come to town for a museum show and lunch."
I decided to test this formula of college campus as inexpensive tourist destination with a quick, culturally edifying trip to New Haven. Long curious about the two fine-art museums at Yale, and having heard that a chic hotel,
the Study at Yale
, had opened in that same artsy part of the campus, I booked a room, printed out a calendar of events from the school's Web site, and boarded an Amtrak train in New York on a Friday morning; in two hours, I was checking into my Chapel Street digs.
The Study at Yale
— which plays up the academic connection with old-fashioned spectacles for its logo and a bookmark slipped into the sleeve for the electronic room key — did not disappoint. The lobby is a mod living room, furnished with clean-lined leather armchairs and a floor-to-ceiling bookcase full of art and architecture books. My seventh-floor room had a marble-floored bath, Tolomeo desk lamp, oak furniture with lightened finish and windows overlooking the slate roofs of the Yale campus.
An intriguingly titled lecture I'd circled on my events calendar — "Extraordinary Tourists," about the Transcontinental Excursion of 1912, on offer at Yale's Institution for Social and Policy Studies — was, alas, already under way, so I decided to get my bearings on a student-led campus tour departing from the Visitor Center, in a 1767 Federal house on Elm Street across from the New Haven Green.
Among the 12 other tourgoers also braving the 29-degree temperature that afternoon was Elisabeth Striedinger, a 28-year-old marketing assistant from Vienna and a graduate of the University of Vienna. Ms. Striedinger, who was taking time out from a three-week vacation in New York for the trip to New Haven, said she had seen Yale portrayed on the TV show "Gilmore Girls." (Rory ends up going to school there.) "Everyone knows about Yale and the Ivy League," she said. "Even in Austria."
Our guide, Matt Eisen, a junior majoring in economics and political science, led us to Old Campus, the blocklong yard where Yale's first buildings were constructed of brick in the mid-18th century. We also saw a couple of the school's 12 residential colleges, modeled on those of Oxford and Cambridge universities in England. The neo-Gothic buildings that make up the Yale colleges, Mr. Eisen noted, were constructed in the 1930s with materials that were doctored to look hundreds of years old — the brick dribbled with acid, the panes for the windows purposefully mismatched, the slate roofs I'd admired from my hotel window composed of shingles whose edges had been methodically chipped before they were tucked into place.
After my tour I saw real, not ersatz, Gothic at the Yale Center for British Art — in the form of "The Thames at Westminster Stairs" by Claude de Jongh and intricately detailed oil paintings of the interiors of Westminster Abbey and Canterbury Cathedral. The museum's holdings, said to be the most comprehensive collection of British art outside Britain, swing from serene (the misty waterfront in "Nocturne in Blue and Silver," by James McNeill Whistler) to severely buttoned-up (a room full of Elizabethan and Jacobean portraits, with staring eyes) to satirical (William Hogarth's "Midnight Modern Conversation," depicting supposedly respectable middle-class men who have drunk themselves into a stupor)."

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Add yet another chapter to the long-running saga that is the New York Jets-New England Patriots rivalry.
Jets coach Rex Ryan says Thursday that a suggestion by former defensive coordinator and current Cleveland Browns coach Mike Pettine that New England might have obtained a copy of New York's playbook is "ridiculous" and "disrespectful" to the Patriots.
Pettine made the comments during an interview with Sports Illustrated's theMMQB.com, saying Ryan once gave Alabama coach Nick Saban a copy of the Jets' playbook — and Pettine warned that Patriots coach Bill Belichick and Saban are close friends.
Tom Brady once bragged to a former Jets assistant that the Patriots got one of their rival's playbooks.
Ryan says playbooks constantly change and adds that the story was probably blown out of proportion.
According to ESPN, Saban said through an Alabama spokesman that he still has Ryan's playbook in his office.

Histamine is a substance produced by the body as part of its defence mechanisms. It is stored in cells called mast cells, in almost all tissues of the body. When the body reacts to a foreign substance (known as an allergen, eg flower pollen), the mast cells stimulated by the allergen release their stores of histamine.
The released histamine then binds to its receptors (H1 receptors), causing a chain reaction that results in allergic symptoms. It causes an increase in blood flow to the area of the allergy, and the release of other chemicals that add to the allergic response.
All this results in the symptoms of an allergic reaction. In hay fever, histamine causes inflammation of the nose, eyes and airways and results in itchy watery eyes, a runny nose, sneezing and nasal congestion.
Fexofenadine works by blocking histamine H1 receptors. It doesn't prevent the actual release of histamine from mast cells, but prevents it binding to its receptors. This in turn prevents the release of other allergy chemicals and increased blood supply to the area, and provides relief from the typical symptoms of allergies.
Fexofenadine 120mg is used to relieve the symptoms of hayfever.
Fexofenadine is called a non-sedating antihistamine, as it does not enter the brain in significant amounts and is therefore unlikely to cause drowsiness. However, people react differently to medicines and some people may experience some drowsiness.
How do I take it?
- Adults and adolescents aged 12 years and over should take one tablet once a day when needed to relieve symptoms of the allergy.
- You can continue to take one tablet daily to relieve your symptoms for as long as you are exposed to the allergen, for example throughout the pollen season. Follow the instructions given by your doctor.
- Telfast tablets should be swallowed with a drink of water. They should be taken before a meal.
- Although fexofenadine is a non-sedating antihistamine, some people may experience drowsiness, which may affect your ability to drive or operate machinery. You should make sure you know how this medicine affects you before you perform potentially hazardous activites. If you do find this medicine makes you sleepy you should avoid drinking alcohol or taking other medicines that cause drowsiness with it, as this could make any sleepiness or reduced alertness worse.
- If you are due to have any skin prick or patch tests to diagnose allergies you should stop taking your antihistamines at least 48 hours before the tests. This is because antihistamines can prevent or reduce the skin reactions that indicate an allergy, and so can make the test results unreliable.
Use with caution in
- Elderly people.
- People with decreased kidney function.
- People with decreased liver function.
- People with a history of heart disease.
Not to be used in
- Children under 12 years of age.
- Breastfeeding.
This medicine should not be used if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. Please inform your doctor or pharmacist if you have previously experienced such an allergy.
If you feel you have experienced an allergic reaction, stop using this medicine and inform your doctor or pharmacist immediately.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Certain medicines should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. However, other medicines may be safely used in pregnancy or breastfeeding providing the benefits to the mother outweigh the risks to the unborn baby. Always inform your doctor if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, before using any medicine.
- The safety of this medicine during pregnancy has not been established. It should not be used by pregnant women unless considered essential by your doctor, and only if the benefits to the mother outweigh any risks to the unborn child. Seek medical advice from your doctor.
- This medicine may pass into breast milk. It is not recommended for use by breastfeeding mothers. Seek medical advice from your doctor.
Side effects
Medicines and their possible side effects can affect individual people in different ways. The following are some of the side effects that are known to be associated with this medicine. Just because a side effect is stated here does not mean that all people using this medicine will experience that or any side effect.
Common (affect between 1 in 10 and 1 in 100 people)
- Headache.
- Drowsiness.
- Dizziness.
- Nausea.
Uncommon (affect between 1 in 100 and 1 in 1000 people)
- Fatigue.
Frequency unknown
- Difficulty sleeping (insomnia).
- Sleep disturbances such as nightmares.
- Nervousness.
- Awareness of your heartbeat (palpitations).
- Increased heart rate (tachycardia).
- Diarrhoea.
- Skin reactions such as rash and itching.
- Allergic reactions to the medicine, which may cause swelling of the face, lips, tongue or throat, difficulty breathing, chest tightness or flushing.
The side effects listed above may not include all of the side effects reported by the medicine's manufacturer.
For more information about any other possible risks associated with this medicine, please read the information provided with the medicine or consult your doctor or pharmacist.
How can this medicine affect other medicines?
You should tell your doctor or pharmacist what medicines you are already taking, including those bought without a prescription and herbal medicines, before you start treatment with this medicine. Similarly, check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking any new medicines while taking this one, to make sure that the combination is safe.
You should leave two hours between taking fexofenadine and taking indigestion remedies (antacids) that contain aluminium or magnesium. This is because these types of antacids may decrease the absorption of fexofenadine from the gut and therefore make it less effective.
Antihistamines may oppose the effect of histamine (used to treat leukaemia) and are not recommended for people having this treatment.
Antihistamines may also oppose the effect of betahistine (used to treat Ménière's disease).
Other medicines containing the same active ingredient
Fexofenadine 120mg and 180mg tablets are also available without a brand name, ie as the generic medicine.

With Lenovo expected to close its IBM x86 server business acquisition by year end, a glimpse at the combined server product line has emerged.
Once the deal closes, IBM's System X and Flex servers with x86 chips will fill out Lenovo's high-end product line. Meanwhile, Lenovo's ThinkServer products will be targeted at small and medium-size businesses, according to an IBM presentation.
The companies on Monday separately introduced servers with Intel's new Xeon E5-2600 v3 chip, also announced Monday. But it also gave IBM -- which has been largely quiet since the deal was announced -- an opportunity to chime in on how it will add value to Lenovo's server offerings before and after the deal is complete.
IBM and Lenovo will combine to offer the widest range of server offerings in the industry, before and after the transaction is complete, IBM said.
Lenovo's always offered low-end servers, but the addition of IBM's technology will add a new class of high-end servers to its portfolio for applications like analytics and databases. Lenovo will cover the entire gamut of enterprise customers once it finishes the acquisition of IBM's x86 server business, which has already been approved by the Chinese and U.S. governments.
Lenovo announced it would acquire IBM's x86 server business for $2.3 billion in January. Rivals Hewlett-Packard and Dell have since aggressively pursued IBM's large customer base with the aim to switch over some users to their products. But IBM and Lenovo have tried to diffuse any uncertainty by saying their respective product lines will remain intact and that levels of support will remain the same.
IBM and Lenovo have worked together on sales and support of servers in the past years.
"After the deal closes, IBM will continue to provide maintenance delivery on Lenovo's behalf for an extended period pursuant to the terms of a five-year maintenance service agreement with IBM. Customers who originated contracts with IBM should not see a change in their maintenance support for the duration of the customer's contract," IBM said in a presentation slide that mentions "Lenovo's service commitment."
IBM will retain mainframe and server products with homegrown Power8 processors. Flex integrated servers use both x86 and IBM's Power8 chips, and IBM is expected to retain systems with the Power8 chips.
IBM's new System X M5 lineup with x86 chips include the new System x3650 M5 server, which is 2U in size and can have up to two 18-core Xeon chips, 1.5TB of memory and 86.4TB of storage. A smaller sibling, the System x3550, has fewer disk bays and 24TB of maximum storage capacity.
IBM also introduced servers for its NextScale System, which has a number of servers linked in a larger chassis. In addition, the company will also ship the System x3500 M5, a 5U tower server with 72TB of storage, in the first quarter next year.
Lenovo announced the ThinkServer RD550 and RD650 rack servers, which start at $1,829 and $1,929 respectively, and the TD350 tower server, which starts at $1,629. The servers will ship on Sept. 8.

draw lenght and speed
would like to find some information about draw lenght and speed, after watch some of 2008/2009 product review on bow,
on IBO most shot from 29" and 70# will give the IBO speed well i wonder about 30" and 70# will it give any of extra speed than 29" DL ?
long and short arrow, wonder 28" give another speed than 29" arrow ?
i just make little adjust on arrow rest was shoot a 28 3/4" arrow now plan to shorter to 28 1/2" arrow
and plan on shoot from 388.95 to 377.55 gr arrow after do some arrow weight and stuffs on goldtip site..
xt hunter 28.5 total 388.95 incudle 100 gr head
xt velocity 28.5 total 377.55 sane 100 gr head

Speed can be obtained by the longer draw length but once youre to the point of being overdrawn you will loose some of your consistency in accuracy.
You are on the right track by maintaining the correct draw length and making the adjustments on your arrow rest position and arrow length to gain a little speed. Speed can be good but having a setup that shoots well and is forgiving will score more in the long run. Having the best of both worlds is the icing on the cake
Good LuckThe only one that is your competitor is the air between your ears!
Depending on the bow an extra inch of draw is going to only give you 5-10 fps at most. But like was already said if the draw is too long your not going to shoot better and will probably shoot worse.
You won't even see the difference in your pin gap or on target with that minimal speed increase.

Christian Laettner is the latest athlete to have a piece of sports memorabilia sold for an outrageously high price. His jersey from the 1992 East Regional Final against Kentucky has been purchased for $119,500.
The contest, considered one of the greatest college basketball games of all time, is best known for Laettner's game-winning shot as time ran out. After the game, he gave the jersey to a friend, who just recently decided to put the piece of history up for auction.
In a perfect world, Ashley Judd would have purchased the jersey and hung it, upside down, at the Merrick Inn next to a picture of Lattner stomping on Aminu Timberlake. Alas.
While Christian Laettner may not play for Duke anymore they still have one of the best teams in the country and Blue Devil faithful can find all their Duke Basketball tickets here.

Very nice, thank you for showing us.
MY GOD you are Talented
I love it. Not a thing I can find that does not please my eye!
Amazing my Friend! I like everything about this one.
The blade shape is just killer and I love the crown stag. I might have preferred the long S-guard to be a bit thinner in profile where it intersects balde and handle, but it does taper nicely moving rearward. This piece has terrific lines overall. Reminds me a bit of a Burt Foster piece that should be liberated from the clutches of Peter Gill.
Very Cool Claudio, super job.
ANOTHER fantastic piece my friend.....what a knife!
Rest in Peace my friend...see you on the other side.
Wow! I think this one may be my favorite from you so far! I love the hammer marks and the stag handle. I esp. like how the guard curves in close to the handle, not to mention that great blade profile. I bet it feels great in the hand!
Wonderful piece!
Potomac Forge
I'm typically not a big fan of crown stag, but in this design it works beatifully! Your work, as alwasy, is exquisite Claudio!
I like that VERY much Claudio! It has a BADASS look to it and also looks like it would feel great in hand.
Beautiful as usual, I love your knives.
Thank you very much everyone for the comments, now I added a video to try to approximate it more to you.
Best regards.
Cool - love the little stag inlay on the frog button.
I don't know how to put it in better words but it's a very handsome knife Caludio
It sure has a gallant looks
I think the YouTube appearance shows the look better
Congrats to you
Rustic and elegant combined into one. Great job.
Those are some Beefy hands! Video really shows size and dimension. Thanks Claudio
Beautiful! I'm loving the laminate blade.
Great Knife Claudio.
The video with you holding helps to get perspective how large the knife is.
I think Mike Q described it best. Rustic/Elegant

Mamutica (English: Female mammoth) is the largest building (by volume) in Zagreb and Croatia, as well as one of the largest apartment blocks in Europe.[1]
This apartment complex was built in 1974[1] in Eastern Novi Zagreb, in the neighborhood of Travno. It is the Croatian version of the panelák or plattenbau. The building is about 240 m long, 70 m high and has 20 floors. There are 1,263 apartments in the building, home to about 5,000 people.[2]
Mamutica is also the name of a crime TV series broadcast by Croatian Radiotelevision since 2008 (two seasons as of 2010[update]), focusing on police cases being solved in and around the building.[3][4]

A group of people living near the Fresh Creek Nature Preserve have begun a petition drive to get the area cleaned up.
Contending that the preserve, "Does not have regular horticultural care," and has become a dumping ground and hangout, the residents are calling on the city's Department of Parks & Recreation to pay some attention to the area, which is bounded by East 108th Street, Louisiana Avenue, Shore Parkway and Flatlands Avenue.
"Fresh Creek Park is being vandalized and destroyed," contended Maria Garrett during the April meeting of the 69th Precinct Community Council.
Speaking to the group gathered at the Thomas Jefferson Democratic Club, 77 Conklin Avenue, Garrett said that students from a nearby school have been, "Trespassing on the property." The area, she said, is plagued by both garbage and graffiti.
Her goal is for "the city to come in there and revamp that park." Among the requests included in the petition are "Regular patrol by Parks Department staff, pruning of the trees and the removal of the dead trees, litter and waste removal, and maintenance of filtration systems."

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
It looks like the long national nightmare of Batman Vs. Superman vs. Captain America 3 is finally over, if you live in the UK. American audiences are for the moment still being held hostage by this epic game of chicken.
According to Film Distributor's Association and picked up elsewhere, Warner Bros. (a division of ) will be opening their still unnamed Man of Steel sequel (unofficially titled Batman Vs. Superman) on April 29th, 2016 in the United Kingdom, one week ahead of (as of now) the worldwide debut of Captain America 3 on May 6th, 2016. Now since Marvel tends to open their films early in overseas markets as well, it stands to reason we may yet see said showdown taking place overseas as well. But either way, unless Warner Bros. is prepping for a worldwide debut for Batman Vs. Superman on April 29th, 2016, this latest news is just another prime example of how America is no longer the all-important market that it once was. When not even a Batman movie opens in America first, what does it say about the importance of what is technically still the top movie going market in the world?
Sony will be opening The Amazing Spider-Man 2 this coming Wednesday first in the UK and then slowly over other foreign territories in the 2.5 week run-up to its May 2nd domestic debut. This past weekend's $95 million debut of and Marvel's Captain America: The Winter Soldier was proceeded by an overseas release that saw the film earn $100 million before it even opened on domestic shores. Back in summer 2011, Fast Five and Thor both opened in Australia well ahead of their domestic debuts while Universal opened Battleship two years ago today, which was five weeks ahead of its May 18, 2012 domestic debut in an attempt to build buzz via overseas grosses. What was once a periodic special occasion or a region-specific event (James Bond films open in Britain first) is now pretty much par for the course when it comes to films big and very big.
Rio 2 opens in America today, but it's been playing in various overseas territories since March 20th for a $55 million cume thus far. When it comes to "big" films like Noah, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, or Robocop, America is just another territory. Warner Bros. generally operated as the lone hold out among major studios in terms of opening either in America first or a full-on worldwide debut. They dropped the last few Harry Potter films everywhere at once and debuted their DC Comics superhero films in America and elsewhere mostly at the same time. They aren't above slowly releasing a film like Journey 2: The Mysterious Island overseas first, but for the biggest films it's generally been day-and-day everywhere.
There are benefits to a worldwide debut. Aside from the obvious issues with piracy (which is arguably why studios started global releases a little over ten years ago), it helped the films reap massive and headline-grabbing worldwide debuts. Debuting everywhere during the week of July 11, 20111, Warner Bros.' Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part II earned $483 million in its first worldwide weekend, which is still a record. And a full-on worldwide debut for Sony's 2012 in 2009 helped the film wrack up a then-record (for an original/non-adaptation film) debut of $232 million. Disney's John Carter was able to save some face in March 2012, if only for a week, when it was able to announce a $100 million worldwide opening weekend along with its disappointing $30 million domestic debut.
So why the overseas-first approach? If we're being cynical, we might assume that Universal and Sony respectively knew a film like Battleship or Robocop would get negative reviews and/or perform poorly in America and thus wanted to buffer its reception with strong overseas business in advance of its domestic debut. Obviously the former backfired when early reviews leaked out and the film didn't perform quite as well as hoped while The Avengers stole most of the worldwide press anyway. Opening The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in the UK first basically allowed the film's initial critical consensus to be shaped by a handful of British newspapers, and as such the mixed-positive reception will be "the critical buzz" at least until the film starts screening elsewhere.
If we're talking about getting good press, a spread out debut allows a studio to get an extra week or two of box office related headlines. When Captain America: The Winter Soldier opened with $75 million overseas on March 26th, the film dominated box office headlines both over its overseas debut (when Noah debuted in America) and over its domestic debut. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part II got exactly one weekend of strong box office press before the attention turned to Captain America: The First Avenger the next weekend. But the truth is that big films are debuting outside the US first because the US is becoming less important as a single territory as opposed to the combined overseas market and/or certain major markets like China and Russia.
has been ahead of the curve for years, turning stateside flops like In Time ($37 million) or Mr. Popper's Penguins ($68m) into worldwide hits ($173m and $187m respectively). The last two Ice Age sequels made 77-81% of their over/under $880m outside of America. Robocop more-or-less flopped in America ($57 million) but has earned $240m worldwide on a $100m budget. The $250m budgeted Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides was by-far the lowest grossing Pirates film in America ($241m) but still earned $1 billion worldwide. Same goes for The Wolverine, which made "only" $132m in America but earned $414m worldwide to make it the second-biggest grossing X-Men film yet. B-level horror franchises like Resident Evil barely make their budgets back in domestic box office but Resident Evil: Afterlife quadrupled its $60m domestic gross overseas.
If we do get a Only the Good Die Hard from Fox, it won't be because of the franchise-low $67m that A Good Day To Die Hard earned in America, but rather the $304m worldwide cume. The counterpoint to overseas audiences turning the likes of Paramount's Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters into $200 million+ hits is that strong overseas numbers also turned Life of Pi into a $609 million smash off a $120m domestic gross and will allow Paramount to make its money back and then some even if Noah barely crawls over $100m domestic (it's at $182m worldwide thus far off a $125m budget). Sure we get tailor-made for overseas consumption sequels like G.I. Joe: Retaliation, but Noah never would have been greenlit without the expectation of strong overseas grosses.
We are still important, as America is still responsible for $241 million of that $1 billion worth of Pirates 4 money. No film has ever earned $400m worldwide without earning at least $100m in America. But as more and more films debut elsewhere well ahead of their domestic openings and more studios decide to go 3D overseas but 2D in America (Noah went 3D in much of the world while Robocop went 3D exclusively in China and earned $50m for their trouble), we American cinemagoers are going to have to adjust to a film industry that sees America as just another dot on the map. There's nothing morally wrong with that of course, and obviously I'm sure some of you live in places where you're used to getting American cinema after the rest of the world does. But as a self-centered American film critic/movie junkie, it is a little disheartening to finally realize that Hollywood now sees Hollywood itself as just another territory.
The fact that Warner Bros. has (at last?) apparently given into convention and decided to open a Batman/Superman film in Great Britain before America says something very real about America's place in the film industry. When even Captain America doesn't open in America first, well, that's just saying something about the diminishing domination of America in terms of worldwide box office. When Batman/Superman seems to be prepping for an overseas-first debut, that's just confirming it.

Freese held hitless, ending club-record streak
Freese held hitless, ending club-record streak
The Redbirds, in turn, went quietly in a 4-0 loss to the Rangers, evening the World Series at two games apiece.
Freese's streak began with a second-inning double off Phillies left-hander Cliff Lee in Game 2 of the National League Division Series and extended through a two-hit performance on Saturday. He batted .429 during the 13-game span. Eleven of his 21 hits went for extra bases, and Freese had six multi-hit affairs. He drove home 21. Along the way, he took home the NL Championship Series Most Valuable Player honors.
"People talk about it, but that's not me," Freese said of his streak. "I'm not too worried about it. It was cool to be a part of, but now I just have to come back tomorrow ready to go."

The Series will resume on Monday, when the Cardinals will try to solve C.J. Wilson, whom they touched for four hits and three runs in 5 2/3 innings of a 3-2 victory Game 1. Freese walked and flied out to center field against Wilson. Broadcast time is slated for 6:30 p.m. CT on FOX, with the first pitch scheduled to be thrown at 7:05.
Freese had already eclipsed the previous franchise-best 12-game playoff hitting streak, which was first set by Mike Matheny and later matched by Yadier Molina. Both of those hitting streaks, however, extended over multiple postseasons.
Freese fell two games short of matching the longest postseason hitting streak in National League history, a mark held by Marquis Grissom. The Major League record is 17.
Facing Rangers starter Derek Holland for the first time in his career, Freese struck out in his first at-bat. He later grounded into a double play and grounded out to short.
"Very impressive," Freese said of Holland's night, which featured 8 1/3 shutout innings. "If I was going to compare it, it was kind of like facing [Braves reliever Jonny] Venters for eight innings. Same type of action on everything. Throwing offspeed for strikes. Spotting in. Tough battle."
