Earlier this season, Craig MacTavish dealt Ladislav Smid to Calgary for Laurent Brossoit and Roman Horak. That's not a trade we can really call "true value" and so it's very hard to justify. We can presume one or more of the following are true:
- The Oilers changed their mind on Smid (who had signed a four-year extension April 1).
- Smid's skills may not have been a match for (new) coach Dallas Eakins.
- They felt a need to offload him before the trade deadline (when defenders have greater value).
- The Oilers targeted Laurent Brossoit.
- The Oilers wanted Ilya Bryzgalov on the roster while not risking bonus money riding into next season.
Either way, I don't believe anyone can argue Smid's established level of ability (top four defenseman) has less value at the deadline than it did on the day he was dealt. As fans, how do we establish trade value? We can assess "established value" so why not established trade value? It can't be that hard, right?
- All veteran defensemen are worth fourth round picks (or better). Even if they can barely breathe, or played with Dave Keon. Fourth round, or better.
- Teams can get value for minor leaguers at the deadline (Oilers sent away Rita and Salmelainen spring 2006 for impressive payoffs) or get them in return if out of the race at the deadline (Nilsson, O'Marra and Plante for 3 weeks of Ryan Smyth). ALMOST ALL of these prospects are spent bullets—the team trading them doesn't have high value on them.
- Famous players have value, even among GMs. Phoenix Coyotes traded Georges Laraque to the Pittsburgh Penguins for Daniel Carcillo and a 3rd round selection in 2008. BG was less than 150 games from the end, but he held value well.
- Young players who hold value are rarely traded for each other. Zack Kassian for Cody Hodgson is a recent famous example.
- If a team wants a specific player badly enough, they'll give you a first round pick (Paul Gaustad and a fourth for a first).
- Nick Schultz once fetched Tom Gilbert.
- Jordan Eberle: A quality top four defenseman signed long term and possessing a wide range of skills.
- Jeff Petry: A young, established NHL defenseman capable of playing top 4D minutes (but a different player type).
- Sam Gagner: A top nine forward with enough skill to play a legit role. A Moreau-type (when he was good) who is established.
- Ales Hemsky: First-round draft pick (I understand a plug-and-play would be better but teams don't trade those things at the deadline).
- Ben Scrivens: A second round pick.
- Nick Schultz: A third round pick.
- Ryan Smyth: A fourth round pick.
- Corey Potter: A fourth round pick.
- Anton Belov: A fourth round pick.
- Ilya Bryzgalov: A fourth round pick.
- Jesse Joensuu: A fourth round pick.
- Taylor Fedun: A fourth round pick.
- Mark Fraser: A fourth round pick.
- Luke Gazdic: A fifth round pick.
- Ryan Jones: A sixth round pick.
- Denis Grebeshkov: A seventh round pick.
- Ben Eager: A seventh round pick.
I don't believe we'll see any of Eberle, Petry or Scrivens dealt but included them because some of these names have been out there since early in the season, and Petry is a player whose value will be quite strong at the deadline (seller's market).

Galaxy GeForce GTX 260+ OC Graphics Card
Today we're looking at Galaxy's version of the GTX
260+ and it carries everything you want for a card that has been out for a
while; a pretty mean looking cooler and an overclock that is going to give us a
bump in performance.
Today we'll be taking the time to see how the GTX 260+ from Galaxy we have
here goes up against another Galaxy card, the GTS 250 and the current top
single GPU card from ATI, the HD 4870, which is due to be replaced by the HD
4890 very soon. @ Tweaktown

MUST SEE: Gawker Asks The DNC: "Can Americans Trust Mitt Romney To Make The Right Call On Which U.S. Citizens To Assassinate?"
Brilliant clip. Hypocritical DEM assassins run for the exits.
As you may have heard last night, Osama bin Laden is dead, has perished from the earth, is at the bottom of the sea, and is not better off than he was four years ago. The Democrats are trying to pull a Bush on national security, inflating Obama's reputation as a killing machine and portraying Mitt Romney as a bungling softie.
But we were kind of disappointed that Obama's signature foreign policy achievement -- the deployment of secret flying assassination platforms empowered to liquidate American citizens based on an unaccountable and highly classified selection process that is entirely internal to the White Hous -- got short shrift this week.
So we threw a softball at some DNC bigwigs, including Cory Booker and Chuck Schumer, offering a giant opening to praise Obama's stone-cold murdering power: Can Americans really trust Mitt Romney to decide which citizens get extrajudicially assassinated in drone strikes?
Also isn't Lanny Davis an asshole?
Eisenhower warned long ago. Both parties serve the war machine.

Comic book writer Mark Millar recently sparked rampant speculation across the Web when he announced in a posting at his official site that he had "been asked to write a big-name superhero movie. An established character you all know and love." When pressed by fans, Millar offered the most meager of hints about the project. "Let's just say bullets don't really give him any grief," said Millar. "I was given the gig on the strength of Wanted #2; which they just read this morning. Again, that's another clue."
IGN FilmForce has now solved the mystery. Reliable sources have advised us that Millar will script the live-action, big-screen adaptation of the Marvel Comics anti-hero Deadpool. Oh, but that's not all we were told!
We were also advised that none other than screenwriter-director David Goyer would direct Deadpool with Ryan Reynolds cast as the title character. They recently wrapped filming on Marvel's Blade: Trinity, which Goyer wrote and directed with Reynolds co-starring as Hannibal King.
Although Deadpool was originally part of the Marvel/Artisan Entertainment deal, Artisan later went kaput and Lions Gate Films took over their Marvel projects. IGN FilmForce was informed, however, that Deadpool is now set-up at New Line Cinema, the same studio behind the Blade franchise.
The Marvel Directory reminds us that the vulgar mercenary Deadpool is actually Wade Wilson: "Diagnosed with cancer, the gun-for-hire left the woman he loved and accepted an unorthodox offer of salvation. Playing upon his hope for a cure, the Weapon X scientists attempted to recreate Wolverine's genetically endowed healing factor through artificial means. Although successful, the Byzantine procedure left Wilson's epidermis and face a horridly callused mess. Considered a failure, he was consigned to a prison laboratory for program rejects. Unable at first to accept his mangled appearance, Wilson slipped into the darkest pit of his soul. He killed several guards and escaped &#Array; dubbing himself 'Deadpool,' after the facility. Some time later, he re-emerged as one of the world's foremost mercenaries-for-hire."
The site adds that "Deadpool possesses the normal strength of a man of his age, height, and build who engages in intensive regular exercise. Deadpool's only known power is his superhuman healing factor, which is a recreation of the one possessed by the mutant Wolverine. He is an extraordinary hand-to-hand combatant and is skilled in several unarmed combat techniques. Deadpool employs a number of weapons, including various blades and guns, which he utilizes as both a master marksman and swordsman. He also relies on a teleportation device to whisk him in and out of danger."
A list of Deadpool fansites can be found here.
UPDATE: Mark Millar posted this denial today on the message board at his official site: "It's ain't Goyer and it ain't Deadpool." That said, IGN FilmForce trusts its sources and stands by this report.

Japanese Whaling Under Fire
Just as pro-whaling groups were assembling in Tokyo on Thursday to work out ways to expand Japan's controversial whaling industry, the country's flagship whaling vessel, the Nisshin Maru, was crippled by a fire, leaving the boat drifting about 100 miles from the world's biggest penguin breeding ground on the Antarctic coast. While fears about a massive oil spill into the pristine waters swirled, the ship's captain refused help from the nearest ship, an old tug named Esperanza. No wonder: the ship is run by Greenpeace, which has engaged the Maru in dramatic clashes over the years to stop the whale slaughtering. Even though many polls suggest that few Japanese people have ever tried whale meat and most of the younger generation is vehemently opposed, Japan continues hunting whales through a loophole in the International Whaling Commission's rules that allows hunting whales for "scientific" purposes. Officials admitted that this year's hunt—due to kill 945 whales by mid-March—will probably have to be abandoned. The arguments for and against killing whales may get complicated but the effects on the local ecosystems are as obvious as the pain often inflicted upon these intelligent creatures. It's unclear what impact the fire on the Nisshin Maru (which featured eerily in Matthew Barney's 2006 Drawing Restraint 9) will have on Japan's whaling yen, but at least we can thank the incident for returning whales to our consciousness. The figurative fire continues. See also: ::Breaking: Possible Environmental Disaster in Antarctica

Are you sure you want to logout?
A simple style with an edge; from choir boy to adventurous badass in just a few days. Current popular trends may favour a full beard, but however women still dig stubble, particularly when it isn't too spikey! You simply can't go wrong with stubble.
Watch the video
The easiest way to achieve the stubble look is to let your beard grow 4-5 days before trimming it.
Begin with the 3mm setting on the trimmer and ensure an even trim by reaching all areas of your face. If your beard feels too long, reduce the setting to 2mm or 1mm until you find the length of the stubble that works for you.
Remove the guard of your trimmer and begin trimming at your Adam's apple and gradually move up onto your face. You should find the beginning of hair growth around your Adam's apple. Clean up any stray hairs on your cheeks and around your upper lip area.
Maintaining a well-groomed appearance means trimming your stubble every 2-3 days. Keep your skin hydrated with moisturizer; stubble can cause your skin to dry out. Avoid alcohol-based moisturizers as they can irritate your skin.

Personally, I've always found it puzzling when people denounce slave stories. Though black and brown faces are too often confined solely to films about slavery and enslavement, I still don't relish the complete eraser of these tales. After all, this pivotal time in history has shaped not only our people, but our country as well. However, Black people do need to take on these stories ourselves. It should not be left up to the Hollywood establishment to present the history of our people on screen. It's past time for us to take the reigns. With Nate Parker's unprecedented success with his film "Birth Of A Nation" at this year's Sundance Film Festival, and now with WGN America's striking television series "Underground", it seems that we are finally moving in that direction.
Last fall, I got the opportunity to screen the pilot episode of "Underground" in Memphis, Tennessee at the Civil Right's Museum. However, I could reveal little about the series at the time. However, now that "Underground" finally set to air on WGN America, and after screening the first four episodes, I'm thrilled to share just a bit more about it.
If you've studied slavery at all, then you know just how detailed and intricate the Plantation South was during the antebellum period. "Underground" is set in Georgia in 1857, just a few years prior to the outbreak of the Civil War, and several years after the Compromise of 1850 and the Fugitive Slave Act were passed. These two pieces of legislation made the lives of runways and free Black people even more difficult. The series excels in not just displaying the intricacies of a vast cotton plantation, but also in presenting every character that lived within the confines of the land; each individual having their own role to play and path to follow. Helmed by creators and executive producers Misha Green ("Sons of Anarchy') and Joe Pokaski ("Heroes"), and executive produced by John Legend and director Anthony Hemingway, "Underground" is so much more than a slave story, it's a masterful thriller about the underground railroad and the heroic men and women who would do anything to gain their freedom.
The series stars Jurnee Smollett-Bell ("True Blood") as Rosalee, a young and mild mannered house slave who seems content to follow behind her mother, Ernestine (played sensationally by Amirah Vann). Alano Miller ("Jane the Virgin") stars as Cato, the plantation's driver who seems to relish his position, despite being despised and feared by his fellow slaves. Aldis Hodge ("Straight Outta Compton") stars as Noah, a blacksmith who galvanizes his fellow slaves because of his burning desire for freedom. The robust cast also includes, Christopher Meloni, Jessica de Gouw and Reed Diamond among many others.
With such a large ensemble cast, it would be easy for characters to get lost in the shuffle, but Green, Pokaski and Hemingway are able to flesh out their characters in a way I've never seen in this genre previously. Episode by episode, individual characters' pasts and motivations spring forth, often haunting the viewer and forcing them to question everything they've learned thus far. There are very difficult moments to watch in the series. After all, slavery was horrific. And yet, "Underground" does not force us to sit with its characters and wallow in despair. This is not a hopeless narrative about enslavement, is it a series about strength and the willingness to risk everything for freedom. Set to a soundtrack that includes everyone from Kanye West to Raphael Saadiq to The Weeknd, "Underground's" compelling twist and turns make it worth the watch.
On the eve of the premiere, I got the opportunity to chat with series stars Jurnee Smollett-Bell and Alano Miller as well as Misha Green, Joe Pokaski and historian Eric Foner at The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. Here is what I learned.
Why do a slave narrative in 2016?
Jurnee Smollett-Bell: Well, it's the Underground Railroad, it's that narrative, and why not? That's the question that we ask. The Underground Railroad is a narrative that hasn't been told, it's a story that is one sentence or a paragraph in the history books and most times, the history book sum it up to the legend of Harriet Tubman. However, there were thousands of men and women who risked their lives and who changed the trajectory of our nation by just running.
What was the starting point for "Underground"?
Misha Green: Joe and I started doing a lot of research and in every story we found that the truth was stranger than fiction. It hadn't been told yet, and what we talk about all the time is that it's not about the occupation, it's about the revolution. It was important that we saw enslaved people with agency, as well as those that were helping them. We wanted to really explore this time period in a way that we have never really delved into, and I think that television allows you to do that because it's a long form.
How did you go about recreating 1857 and the numerous characters in "Underground", that spread from Georgia to Washington D.C.?
Joe Pokaski: A lot of it was inspired by research; like Misha said we really dug in. We started listening to the Library of Congress' recordings of people who were slaves. We almost suffered from too much great story.
Misha Green: (Laughing) That's why our cast is so big.
Joe Pokaski: A lot of the exciting moments in the series came from true life and amazing stories.
Considering the blatant racism that is plaguing America right now, why do you think the country is ready for a show like this?
Joe Pokaski: I think that this is part of a struggle that we are still fighting. A lot of times, people look at that era and pat themselves on the back for moving past it. But, what we found is that it's more likely that we haven't come as far as we like to give ourselves credit for. So, it feels like anytime is a good time to tell this story.
For the actors, what characteristics did you see in your characters that you also see in yourself?
Alano Miller: What I love about Misha and Joe is the fact that they show the flaws in characters and they understand that these flawed characters deserve to have redeeming qualities. For me, I looked at Cato and I judged him, I said all of these things about him and then I had to figure out where his humanity was. Where is the love within him? Where is the fear and the bravery inside of him? For me the things that were positive within him, I was fighting to make sure those qualities were seen. And, the things that were not like me, I didn't judge. I just saw where they were coming from, I started to respect him and understand, and therefore my compassion for him grew.
Jurnee Smollett-Bell: There are a number of things I can relate to with Rosalee. She fiercely protects her brother and is close with her family, and that's the most obvious things I have in common with her. Personality-wise, I can relate to the fact that she is underestimated all of the time. People pigeonhole her as one thing and she has this amazing inner strength that comes out of her when it needs to. She's a lot stronger than she's even aware of, and that is a strength that will take her far. I think that we as women in general struggle with the fact that society tries to tell us who we are. They try to tell us that we don't have value, and we don't have importance. While it was such an extreme case in 1857 to be a woman of color on a plantation, I definitely feel the residue that my lineage was dealing with. I feel that, I inherit that and without a doubt I struggle with it every day. So there are a number of things we have in common but for me, the most exciting things were the things we did not have in common. That's the stuff that Joe and Misha worked with me on. Shedding the woman that I am of 2016 and having to step back into 1857 is an awesome challenge as an actor, because it definitely was a different world in so many ways.
Was there ever a moment when you had a difficult time leaving Rosalee at work?
Jurnee Smollett-Bell: Yeah, there is a scene in the pilot that was one of the hardest scenes I've had to do in my entire career. I didn't know how we we're going to do it, I knew what the page said and I knew what the choreography was, but afterwards I couldn't shake it. I just stood there for a few moments shaking and crying. Misha, Aldis, Anthony and Amirah just surrounded me and let me cry for a few minutes. That spirit on that plantation, you feel it the second you walk on the grounds. I've just thought of all the Rosalee's who've had to do that, who had to put their dignity aside, you go against your nature by doing that. I think that's what I struggled with the most, your instinct is to run and to protect yourself and she has to go against that. For all the women who have done that, I was just so overwhelmed by it.
What is the most important message that viewers can take away from the series?
Jurnee Smollett-Bell: There are so many. One thing to note though is that this was the first integrated Civil Rights movement in our nation. Joe and Misha always say, "How active is your activism?" You have the abolitionist in the North, Black and white who could have done nothing. But, they made the choice to step outside their comfort zone and help and put their lives on the line. The runaways had the courage to run and carter new territory. While we don't have that physical run today, we are still running. When we work together as a nation and we aren't just tweeting a hashtag that is popular, we are actively putting in the work. That is the only time we are going to see our country move forward.
Alano Miller: Understanding the strategy behind it is also so important. The Underground Railroad was strategic, as was the Civil Rights Movement and Martin Luther King Jr. We have to understand there is strategy is this. It is one thing to raise our voices, but it's going to take more than that.
Jurnee Smollett-Bell: We also need to understand that every single person matters. We sum up these movements to Martin Luther King or to Rosa Parks or Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass. But, there were thousands of people who will never get credit who were putting their lives at risk and doing their part. Every little thing we do whether it's mentoring someone or bringing up a child or cleaning up the trash in your neighborhood; every little thing you do can help make your community better.
Considering everything that is happening today, how timely is "Underground"?
Joe Pokaski: We always say it could have and should have been told twenty years ago. It's very timely.
Eric Foner: There are plenty of books on the Underground Railroad. I wrote one of them, many people wrote others. What is different about "Underground" is that its putting the story out to a mass audience. It's not as if the story hasn't been told. It has been told many times, but not in this medium.. You know better than I how over the years Hollywood has been so terrible in how it has portrayed slavery, up until perhaps 2013's "12 Years A Slave". It's a long history of misrepresentation so this fights back against that.
Joe Pokaski: This is by definition a story that had to be secretive. William Still and Frederick Douglass were angry at Henry "Box "Brown for doing the play about how he escaped, because other people could have done so. So this is something where people had to have discipline, and had to be quiet about how they got free so other people could save themselves. So now it's the time to tell this story and celebrate this heroism.
How historically accurate is "Underground"?
Alano Miller: We shot in real slave quarters on real plantations in Louisiana, and those are real swamps. Walking onto those sets, we knew it was holy ground. There's a weight that was there and we knew we had to be responsible in telling the story the right way. What an honor to be in the same space as your ancestors and to not know what the notches meant in the wood or where the bloodstains came from but, you know everything in those spaces have a story and courage, pain, love and joy. And of course with the costuming they were heavy and full and hot and everything that came along with it. There were no soles on the bottom of the shoes. There is all of those things we had to take on as actors.
Did you mentally prepare for your roles?
Jurnee Smollett-Bell: I always do start with research. I started with slave narratives. There's an amazing book called "The Bullwhip Days", there's "Incidents In the Life Of A Slave Girl", there is the work of William Still; he kept amazing accounts of runaway slaves. There was Henry Louis Gates' documentary, "Many Rivers To Cross". I think when you start with that, there's this privilege. When you read these accounts of what actually happened you can't complain about the conditions that you're in as an actor. When you start to understand that these were living breathing people, and that these were real experiences, you start to appreciate it.
"Underground" will debut on WGN America this evening March 9th at 10PM ET. You might also want to look out for a very special guest star who appears in episodes three and four.

Canyons School District Wants More Money
Remember the talking points in favor of splitting the Jordan School District a couple of years ago? We were told that splitting up the district would lower costs and result in a much leaner and responsive school district. Almost immediately, however, I noticed that my property tax bill for the newly-created Canyons School District shot up rather sharply over the previous year. Apparently, that wasn't enough.

A mini facelift is an outpatient procedure in most circumstances, according to plastic surgeon Dr. Darrick Antell. These procedures are minimally invasive and only require about 40 to 90 minutes to complete.Continue Reading
A mini facelift is generally performed in a surgeon's personal facility, an outpatient surgery center, or a hospital treatment center, states Dr. Antell. The majority of mini facelifts are performed under the combination of local anesthesia and a light sedative. This numbs the face, relaxes the patient, and removes the need for general anesthesia.
Some surgeons suggest hospitalization for a day if certain conditions arise, such as high blood pressure, notes Dr. Antell. Most patients are able to operate normally after just a day or two of recovery time but should still be mindful as facial tissue may be tender or numb.Learn more about Health

I ordered my 24 LED candles for some antique brass candelabras that I was using for my ghost tours on Halloween in my home. They arrived VERY quickly and were packaged beautifully. They met my every expectation and more! They were beautiful and were EXACTLY what I wanted! I couldn't be happier and will definitely order more from you in the future! They even came with the batteries already in them! I am telling all my friends! You're the best!
- I need 3 of these sets of $144 for my school's choirs. Is their a discount for this qty? Does the wax dent as easily as a regular candle. Does the top light bulb come off or is it a solid one piece?
- Are the AA batteries replaceable?
- How long can you leave the light on before the battery dies out? How many hours of light from the battery?
- What is the battery life of these candles?
- Hello. Are these candles wax or resin? I'm confused on the size usually tapers are 8, 10, 12 inch. They are flickering correct thank you
- Are the 6" Cyrus candles capable of all being operated from 1 remote? We will be installing 15? Also does the bulb give off a yellow glow or can we get clear?
- i am looking for 8" battery operated tapers with timers. Need several. Can you help Need price
- I am looking to get 120- 156 candles (10-13 sets of 12) do you have any offers for bulk pricing?
- Do you ship to Canada?
- Do these candles come in other colors? I would like to purchase them in Burgundy!!!
- I would love to know if I can also buy the holders that these candles are shown in, in the pictures on this listing.
- I purchased over seventy of these LAM 33788 units last fall for our candlelight services at First Church in Wethersfield, CT. I thought they worked great in the chandeliers (64 units) but as we have 12 wall sconces that we used traditional beeswax candles in, my senior minister would like to know if you carry a battery operated unit that gives off more light and has more of a "flicker" than what we have now. Do you have such a candle? The size and wax appearance was perfect and they fit in the sockets just like the real thing - I loved them. Pleas let me know. Bob Keleher, Property Manager
- Hello. Would you have about 8 packs of 12 of these candles. We need about 200. What would the price be on that and when could we get them by. Thank you very much! Kim

Best price roll-off dumpster rentals in Pennsylvania
We have grown our company to a point where we don't have to play it safe and offer only one type of service. The roots of Buckscountytma lie in dumpster frame repairs and the sale of spare parts, and we have moved past those roots in the several years of our existence.
We have expanded our field of expertise to include dumpster rental business where we limited ourselves on the roll-off dumpsters and thus not covering all aspects of the market. We understand that overextending can hurt the business and because of that we decided not to enter the standard dumpster rental market. So, our focus lies on roll-off containers, their rental, repair and the sale of spare parts.
24 hours container delivery after your call
We know that you want a roll-off container within hours of noticing us and not in two or three days. We wouldn't be at the top of dumpster rental Pennsylvania market without appropriate reaction to every call from a client. You just have to contact us and the roll-off container will arrive within 24 hours of the call.
Be sure to check how big a dumpster you need as it will cost you more if it comes to unloading it more than once (when the rental period ends). Our offer includes various roll-off dumpster sizes, and you should check with our people about the size that should fit your cause.
Cubic yards and container sizes
The size of the container is measured with cubic yards. Now, this measure will confuse people who aren't good with math and who can't calculate the extent of debris that their activity will produce. A cubic yard equals three feet in three dimensions, or to say it simply, a cube whose sides are three feet each. Now, even this can't help someone because they don't know the amount of waste that their project will produce. That is why it's best to ask us about the preferable roll-off container, rather than doing it alone. Renting smaller container, as we mentioned, will cost you a lot more than renting bigger container that you won't fill to the top.
The roll-off dumpsters we rent range from 10 to 40 yards which means that the largest container can hold up to 40 cubic yards of waste. The largest container is a good option for building a new house or clearing demolition debris and similar large-scale projects.

Lifetime Warranty
We stand behind our products, they all come with a full Lifetime-Warranty against defects in materials or craftsmanship, as well as a 60-day return-for-any-reason policy. Buy-it, try-it, and if you don't like it send it back for a full refund (shipping charges will not be refunded and a full refund of the subtotal assumes you are sending back gear in new condition, we'd deduct for any washing or needed repairs.
Normal wear and tear, user-caused damage, etc can normally be fixed or patched at reasonable cost, shoot us an email and include a picture of the damaged goods if possible and we'll let you know if it's covered under warranty and if not, what the repair would cost.

Zoloft and alcohol
Zoloft, alcohol and food interactions
Certain foods and beverages such as alcohol can interact with medicines and make them less effective, cause dangerous side effects or other problems. This is true for Zoloft, as well. In fact, changes in the effects of Zoloft due to alcohol intake can be significant. However, other individual factors influence personal variations of effect such as:
- age
- dose
- gender
- general health
- weight
As a rule, food increases absorption of Zoloft, so you should take Zoloft consistently (either always with food or always on empty stomach) to reduce variations in absorption. Additionally, grapefruit juice can increase the quantities of some medications such as Zoloft in your body, leading to adverse effects. So, avoid grapefruit juice when taking Zoloft.
Is it safe to take Zoloft and drink?
Experts can't seem to agree on this question, and prefer to take it on a case-by-case basis. This is why most people will tell you to talk with your Zoloft prescribing doctor.
However, you should know that alcohol has not been found to significantly interact with Zoloft/setraline to affect mental or motor skills. Simply put, experiments have not proven that the Zoloft increases the mental and motor skill impairments caused by alcohol. Nonetheless, the use of ZOLOFT and alcohol at the same time is not advised. Why? Two main reasons:
1. Benefits decrease while adverse effects increase
The first reason to avoid drinking alcohol or while you are taking antidepressant medications like Zoloft is because the beneficial effects of the medication may be decreased and adverse effects may be increased (ex. sedation). so even though Zoloft has not clinically increased the likelihood of lowered cognitive and psychomotor skills, the risk is present. Avoid alcohol on Zoloft, and avoid unnecessary bad judgment or accidents.
2. Alcohol is not good for depression
Which leads us to the main reason that physicians and pharmacists advise that people who are on Zoloft avoid alcohol. The logic is that people who are depressed should not drink alcohol. Rather straightforward, alcohol can increase symptoms of depression. And if you are taking Zoloft for depression, you may be cancelling out the positive effects of the anti-depressant by drinking. This is also why experts suggest that you avoid kava kava or valerian while taking Zoloft.
Zoloft and Antabuse
As an aside here, Zoloft (setraline) comes in oral concentrate form , and has as an inactive ingredient 12% alcohol content. Therefore, Zoloft oral concentrate is contraindicated with Antabuse (disulfiram) due to the alcohol content of the concentrate.
Questions about Zoloft
In summary, ask your doctor about the safe use of alcoholic beverages while you are taking sertraline. Also, if you are looking for Zoloft and alcohol addiction help but don't know what the rehab process entails…you can Learn more in our A-Z guide on Zoloft Addiction Treatment Programs and Help to get better prepared. Help is available TODAY!
If you have any question about taking or using Zoloft, please post them in the designated section below and we'll do our best to respond personally and promptly. Or, if you are taking Zoloft and want to comment on the experience of drinking alcohol on Zoloft, please let us know. We welcome all comments!
DISCLAIMER: Please note that the ideas presented here should not replace the advice from your doctor or pharmacist. If you have any questions or concerns about possible drug interactions between Zoloft and alcohol, consult a medical professional.

I tried drinking while on Sertraline once, I would strongly advice against it, I got really depressed the following days. It was like the effect of the Sertraline was gone for 3-4 days or so, after drinking.
Please do not drink alcohol while taking Zoloft, or any other anti-anxiety, anti-depressant drug, since in my case it significantly increased my desire to drink alcoholically!! BEWARE!
Before I started taking Zoloft on a regular basis, I would consider myself a social drinker. I was always sure not to drink more than I could handle and would rarely experience hang-overs and had never experienced any black outs. When I combined the use of Zoloft with social drinking I have found that I am susceptible to black outs and uninhibited behaviors I had never done before. Therefore I recommend that people who take Zoloft and drink be extremely cautious when doing so until you know how your body reacts to it.
Thanks for sharing all about your experiences with Zoloft and alcohol. I hope that what each of you has experienced can help someone else think about drinking while on Zoloft. I wonder if your doctors or pharmacists warned you about the possible interactions or if you were left to discover this on your own?
As a seasoned alcoholic, I noticed that it caused me to blackout much more frequently. I would blackout and then continue to drink and talk with bar patrons until the bar shut down, wander through bad neighborhoods, take the Red Line home (Chicago), and come to sitting upright on my sofa with Doritos crumbs on my chest. Not an optimal lifestyle. Bourbon is the primary culprit, but the Zoloft didn't help.
Hi Moss. Thanks for sharing about your experiences drinking while on Zoloft. Blackouts are very frightening, at least in my experience they were. It is amazing that the brain continues to function, but that memory processing stops. I truly believe that someone or something was looking out for me during my drinking days!
I have been on 1/4 tsp setraline at bedtime for just 4 nights. I take .50 Xanax as needed, usually 1.50 mg within 24 hours. The last two days I have been MORE anxious, upon awakening and during the day. I also take 30 mg temazepam for sleep.
Could it be that the Zoloft is increasing my anxiety?
Hello Jan. I'd suggest that you speak with your prescribing doctor. This is really a question that requires medical advice and experience.
I have no trouble drinking alchol I'm on 100mg zoloft

Oklahoma Water Resources Center
Remember your dams
STILLWATER, Okla. – Most of Oklahoma has been wet this summer, proven by all the water in our ponds.
To keep them full and healthy, Marley Beem, Oklahoma State University Cooperative Extension aquaculture specialist, reminds pondowners to keep their dams in mind.
"We tend to focus on the water and the fishing but pond dams need our attention, too," he said. "Dams fail because people either don't understand how they work or they just forget about them."
A dam failure is at best expensive and at worst, disastrous when roads, homes and other structures are in the path of the flood. To avoid these costly events, Beem offered a reminder of the three main enemies of pond dams that require attention. The first being burrowing animals, such as muskrats, beaver or pocket gophers.
"A gopher burrow may look minor but you need to take steps to eliminate the pest and properly fill the burrow as soon as it is noticed," said Beem. "Even a small burrow is enough to get water flowing through the dam and it's all downhill from there."
The burrows can interconnect or be dug very close to each other, greatly weakening the structure. The second threat to a dam is one many people have a misconception about. Oftentimes, trees are thought to strengthen a dam, but the roots can become a serious problem.
"Tree roots loosen the compacted soil of the dam and provide pathways along which water can begin to move through the dam," said Beem. "When a large tree dies or blows over, the roots decay leaving a network of small tunnels that often lead to dam failure."
The final of the three dam killers is erosion of the slopes, top or auxillary spillway. These areas should be refilled with compacted soil and revegetated. Caution should be used in dam reconstruction.
"Seek engineering help whenever in doubt about the safety of a dam," Beem said. "An earthen dam can look massive and solid but there are millions of pounds of water pushing against it looking for any weakness."
Beem recommends walking the faces of your dam at least once a year to be able to catch problems before it is too late.
"If all of these steps are followed, you will be doing yourself a great favor by protecting the useful life of your dam and pond," he said.

Whopper of the Week: J. Ashcroft
George W. Bush, civil libertarian.
"No one believes in our First Amendment civil liberties more than this administration."
—Attorney General John Ashcroft in a speech to the National Restaurant Association, Sept. 15
"I have not seen the actual transcript of the show itself. But assuming the press reports are right, it's a terrible thing to say, and it's unfortunate. And that's why—there was an earlier question about has the president said anything to people in his own party—they're reminders to all Americans that they need to watch what they say, watch what they do."
— Ari Fleischer, at that time the Bush White House spokesman, on Sept. 26, 2001. Fleischer was answering a question about comedian Bill Maher's post-9/11 quip on ABC's Politically Incorrect, "We have been the cowards lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, it's not cowardly." ABC cancelled Politically Incorrect a few months later.
"We can live with a healthy debate as long as it is as elevated as possible and as civil as possible."
—Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on Sept. 8, 2003. Rumsfeld was answering a reporter's question about whether criticism of his war planning in Iraq compromised the war on terrorism.
Discussion. GiveAshcroft some credit for inserting the qualifier, "First Amendment." If he'd made the blanket statement, "No one believes in our civil liberties more than this administration," Chatterbox would have had to label it "Whopper of the Decade."
Got a whopper? Send it to email@example.com. To be considered, an entry must be an unambiguously false statement paired with an unambiguous refutation, and both must be derived from some appropriately reliable public source. Preference will be given to newspapers and other documents that Chatterbox can link to online.

For close to 40 years, Mikki Ansin has worked as a still photographer on movie sets. While fulfilling the job requirements for Hollywood studios and independent productions alike, she became fascinated with documenting behind-the-scenes activity, most notably in the production of Merchant Ivory films. "The pay may have been less, but they let me do what I wanted," Ansin says. "I took pictures of the stars with their feet up and their hair down, of the cast and crew at play — from the softball field to the set. I've always been captivated by how things happen."
Ansin is one of 20 distinguished ASMP members whose work is featured in the newly redesigned Best of ASMP 2012 issue of the ASMP Bulletin, which is hot off the press. Click here for extended interviews with Ansin and the other Best of ASMP photographers.

Ashe's savory (Calamintha ashei)
This woody mint grows along road shoulders and in clearcuts in Ocala National Forest (especially along SR-40 between Lynn and Juniper Springs), and in scrubs farther south on the Lake Wales Ridge. It has even been reported from a scrub-like site in Georgia! Ashe's savory is an aromatic bushy-branched shrub up to 2' tall. The leaves are about a half inch long and needle-like. The beautiful pink-purple flowers appear all summer. Unlike many scrub plants which resprout from their roots following fire, savory is killed by fire, but seeds stored in the soil germinate within days. Ashe's savory is listed as a Threatened Species by Florida and is currently under review for federal listing by the United States Department of the Interior (USDI).

When deep breaths doesn't cut it

I am aware that a little reverting is a given when a three-year-old is introduced to a new baby, but this has become ridiculous. The screaming and the defiance is to a level in which husband and I can't reach. We tried sending him to his room, being calm and explaining why it's not good behavoir, spanking. After explaining and setting the punishment, like taking away TV prevliages, he asks to watch it over and over and over again. And we tell him over and over and over again that he was bad so he can't. It's like talking to a broken record and finally I just give in. He refuses to go to bed, and screams and hollers. He wakes up in the middle of the night crying, when I go in there to see what is wrong, he doesn't tell me so I leave and that starts more screaming and hollering. I am soo lucky that the new baby can sleep through all of this ruckus. I'm just at my ropes end and don't know how to handle this.

First of all, do not spank and do not use words like "bad". Don't tell him he was bad, tell him that the specific behavior was not nice and explain why.My 3 1/2 year old daughter wakes up crying sometimes. She won't say what's wrong because she's too upset. My husband or I cuddle with her unti lshe calms down and falls asleep. Your son is 3. It is completely normal for him to test his boundaries. It is also normal to experience changes in behavior after adding a new sibling to the family. The two things that are most helpful in this kind of situation are consistent discipline and extra attention. Make sure you set and stick to appropriate consquences for undesirable behaviors. No more than 5 minutes for time outs. Give him more one on one time, since he's likely feeling left out now that you have a new baby. I have 3 kids. My older two never went through any jealousy or behavioral issues when new siblings were brought home. They were both very excited for a new sibling. My oldest daughter was 18 months old when her brother was born, he was 20 months old when our new baby was born. We make them a part of everything we do. They are happy to be big helpers, bringing us diapers, wipes, bottles, blankets, etc. The baby's nap time means lots of cuddling and playing with my older two. I take one or two of my kids with me for a "special day" when I have to run errands/shop for groceries. I make sure that each one of my kids feels special and gets the time that they need.
i can sympathize with the broken record syndrome. my 3 year old does the same thing. i agree with vforventure on the "bad" thing. don't tell him he's been bad. explain what he did wrong, and tell him why he can't do it. in toddler terms, of course. tantrums, screaming, and defiance are normal at this age. i know it's endless and frustrating, because i go through it on a daily basis with my daughter. it's in their nature to push boundaries. it's how they learn. if you're going to spank, don't do it out of rage. time-outs can be effective if you can be consistent about it. don't let him out early because you get tired of hearing him yell, and scream. you have to stop giving in to the tantrums. it's crucial for him to learn that it's not how he gets what he wants. all it takes is one time to give in,and then you have taught him that's what it takes. if you say no to something, stick with it. come hell, high high water, tantrums, whining, screaming, etc. if possible, let him know why he can't have or do something. when i'm feeding, or tending to my 6 month old,and my 3 year old wants something RIGHT NOW, i explain that when my task is complete, i will get it. sure, this enrages her, but she has to learn patience, and also that life doesn't revolve around her. i explain that she's not the only one in the house, and sometime other people need things before her.

Today Australian producer Light Year releases his deep-house techno crossover EP 'Bliss' on This Is Music. 'Bliss EP' on This Is Music. The title track has already gotten support from the likes of Brodinski, Duke Dumont and Audiojack. Today we're happy to premiere the official video for 'Bliss', which finally gives this bass-infected house jam visual form. The video is snippets of found footage from what seems to be backyard booty bumping parties complete with 'Boyz in the Hood' lowriders. Not mad at that.

Bad Etiquette
Dealing with Bad Etiquette from Family and Friends
You are bound to see bad etiquette at some point or another throughout the wedding planning process. Etiquette can
come in the form of the proper way to congratulate you, telling you how to run your day, becoming a prima donna with special requests galore, and/or having uncouth behavior or actions.
So your third cousin comes out of the woodwork and asks if she is invited. Well, not everyone has the manner and
grace as you my darling. And it's tactless to assume. It's hard to try and invite everyone, but I assume your third
cousin probably is not going to make the cut. You should be honest, and let them know that you are having a small, intimate wedding and unfortunately you cannot invite extended family. Hopefully, she will understand.
Yes, you want to make sure your guests are comfortable, well accommodated, and of course, having fun. However,
when your step-grandma demands that you serve Pellegrino instead of tap water and that she only eats organic, gluten-free; tell you can accommodate her diet certainly on the gluten-free part, especially if she has Celiac Disease.
All other requests are a bit lofty, and to ask you is completely rude. If they have a food allergy or sensitivity, absolutely 100% without a doubt you should make sure they are well-cared for. Otherwise, they can pass on whatever they don't prefer that is served to them.Let's say that you've sent out your invites…and it was sent to
"Miss Joanna Smith." However, the RSVP card reads"Miss Joanna Smith +1." Um, so your friend thinks she is now running the guest list. How awesome of her. Is she also paying for +1's food and drinks? Simply tell your friend this is not allowed. Unfortunately the invitation was only addressed to her, and not her plus a guest. Hopefully,she will understand.
Some of these things may and may not sound familiar to you. If they do, be gracious, honest, and hopefully your family and friends will understand. This day is about the bride and groom.

For Immediate Release Ð November 12, 2008 Contact: Alicia Steger 516-572-9634e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Garden City, NY Dr. Sean A. Fanelli, President of Nassau Community College, has announced his intention to retire. In a letter to the NCC Board of Trustees, Dr. Fanelli said that he will not seek a renewal of his term as president once his current contract expires in January of 2010. Dr. Fanelli stated in his letter that, "It has been my privilege for more than twenty-six years to serve as President of Nassau Community College. During that time, I have seen the many facets of NCC that truly make it the wonderful institution that it is today. . . . For all these reasons and more, I have been blessed to have been associated with NCC for more than a quarter of a century. But I also recognize that this blessing is only mine in trust. I always knew, from the moment I first entered my office, that there would be a time for me to pass on this trust to someone else."
There will be a committee formed to find the successor to Dr. Fanelli. "I look forward to being as helpful to the Board as is possible as it embarks upon the search process for a new president and to offering to assist the Board's choice as she or he takes on the honor and the challenge of being NCC's next president. I am confident that with this new president and with the support of the entire campus community, the success of Nassau Community College, which began almost a half century ago, will indeed continue," said Dr. Fanelli in his letter. It is hoped that a new president will be hired by late summer 2009.

The excerpt below was written by Tech. Sgt. Nathan Gallahan, a member of the ISAF Joint Command, Afghanistan. Tech. Sgt. Gallahan's post is currently running on the official White House blog. Click here to read the full post.
I started this year's holiday season off right – waking up Thanksgiving morning in a tin building with 200 Army soldiers at a combat outpost in eastern Afghanistan.
I'm a U.S. Air Force Airman, journalist and photographer deployed to the ISAF Joint Command in Kabul. My two-week mission was to document and tell the story of the Afghan National Security Forces. I visited many locations including battalion headquarters and combat outposts; I witnessed everything I expected… and then some.
I went out anticipating combat patrols and handing out supplies, check.
I went out anticipating the Afghan's taking greater control of their country, check.
I went out anticipating the Afghan's tracking down bad guys, check.
Then there were the holiday cards and smiles. I didn't anticipate that.
