Epilepsy is a chronic condition produced by temporary changes in the electrical function of the brain, causing seizures, which can affect awareness, movement, or sensation.
Seizures occur when clusters of nerve cells in the brain, called neurons, signal or communicate with each other abnormally. During a seizure, the neurons' normal pattern of activity is disturbed. It causes them to fire as many as 500 times per second instead of the normal rate of about 80 times per second. This can cause strange sensations, emotions, and behavior, or convulsions, muscle spasms, and/or loss of consciousness.
A diagnosis of epilepsy is usually not made until a person has a seizure more than once without a preventable cause.
The causes of abnormal brain wiring and imbalance of neurotransmitters are numerous. They can include:
- Head injury
- Stroke
- Brain abnormalities inherited at birth
- Gene abnormalities inherited at birth
- Brain injury at birth
- Hypoxia at birth
- Loss of neurons in the hippocampus, also called mesial temporal sclerosis
- Brain tumors
- Alcohol use disorder
- Metabolic conditions, such as low blood sugar , very high blood sugar, low calcium, high or low sodium, or low magnesium
- Alzheimer's disease
- Heart failure
- Liver failure
- Kidney failure
- Sickle cell anemia
- Vasculitis, which can occur with health conditions, such as systemic lupus erythematous
- Any condition that deprives the brain of oxygen, such as near drowning
Infectious diseases, such as:
- Meningitis
- Viral encephalitis
- Malaria
- Tetanus
- Brain abscess
- Syphilis
- Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE)
- Hydrocephalus —excess fluid in the brain
- Celiac disease —intolerance to wheat gluten
Exposure to:
- Lead
- Carbon monoxide
- Other environmental toxins
- Chemical warfare agents
- Certain illegal drugs , such as cocaine , amphetamines, phencyclidine
- Overdose of antidepressants and other medicines
- Withdrawal from alcohol, sedatives, and hypnotics
Certain medications can lower the seizure threshold and thus increase the risk of seizures, such as:
- Tricyclics
- Theophylline
- Penicillin
- Phenothiazine
In children:
- High fever
- Maternal infections
- Poor nutrition
- Vitamin B6 deficiency in neonates, infants
- Lead poisoning
- Hereditary, including genetic syndromes and metabolic disorders
In many cases, the exact cause of epilepsy is not known.What are the risk factors for epilepsy?What are the symptoms of epilepsy?How is epilepsy diagnosed?What are the treatments for epilepsy?How can I reduce my risk of epilepsy?What questions should I ask my doctor?What is it like to live with epilepsy?Where can I get more information about epilepsy?

Way back in the 1980s the Kunsthaus Zürich already researched the provenance of all works of the collection of paintings and sculptures that had been acquired from the beginning of the 1930s into the 1950s. The very intensive research conducted by our Collection curator, Christian Klemm, was based on complete and intact documentation. The provenances can be deemed non-questionable. The people acting on behalf of the Zürcher Kunstgesellschaft, the Arts Association of the Kunsthaus Zürich, apparently were well aware of the particular political situation and the dangers implied, and the Kunsthaus repeatedly and successfully came to the aid of threatened collectors. Buyers acted responsibly and purchases were made only if the provenances of the artworks appeared to be fully unobjectionable. There do not appear to be any cases of unjust enrichment at the expense of an individual seller in personal distress. Incidentally, there are not that many works of art that joined the collection of the Kunsthaus during that period, as the main focus of acquisitions was of Swiss art and that of international art was quite exceptional.
The documents were reviewed once again in connection with the development of the main catalogue of paintings and sculptures between 2002 and 2007, with particular attention given to the documents referring to works of art donated to the museum collection since the 1950s. To this day we proceed with the same attention. The provenance of all works has been published in the general catalogue and is accessible to everyone – online as well, beginning in 2018. 'Provenance of works in the the Collection of Prints and Drawings at the Kunsthaus Zürich' (2017-2019), a scientific research project, is now studying the museum's holdings on paper. For further information on the project see here.
In the case of the occasional request for provenance details of a certain piece, we release information after having verified that the request is justified and originates from a rightful heir. It makes no sense for us (or any other museum, for that matter) to attempt to withhold information and it's a fallacy to think that museums live in fear or could consider refusing to relinquish a work of art that is wrongfully in their possession! It is customary nationally and internationally to handle all requests confidentially, and we abide by this custom. Should it be ascertained that the Zürcher Kunstgesellschaft wrongfully holds an artwork, it would be returned it to its rightful owner. By the way, there is not nor has there ever been 'political whitewashing' at the Kunsthaus Zürich by which this subject could have been closed once and for all. We respond to every request with due diligence and present the useful and indeed necessary information so as to shed light on events long past.
This just as brief background information so that you might understand how we at the Kunsthaus deal with an earnest as well as fascinating issue. And if you have now become interested in the provenance of the works of our collection see our main catalogue or the provenances online.

DOVER — Veterans Day weekend brings free delivery, no interest for 12 months, 60 percent off deals and the return of the ever-popular delayed-payment method: layaway.
While this weekend was a time to pause, reflect and thank those who have served and sacrificed for the country, it has also became the unofficial start to the holiday shopping season with discounts, specials, and sales galore.
Stores across the region slashed prices for shoppers who were eager to grab items at a low price before the hustle and bustle of the holidays means digging deeper into pockets for last-minute gifts.
Planning ahead was key to shoppers' strategies this weekend, though there weren't too many who admitted to crossing things off their holiday wish lists so early in the season.
Kelie Brison arrived to Kohl's at the Crossings at Fox Run early Saturday morning to take advantage of the "door buster" deals she saw commercials for Friday night.
"I can't say I've ever started this early," she said, walking from the parking lot toward the door where the promise of the spend-more-save-more theory was already under way, "It feels a little weird."
Brison said she came to Kohl's for deals on clothing mostly and some small home decor items, but would save any electronics on her list for places like Best Buy or Radio Shack.
Analissa Rey came to the malls in Newington from Newburyport, Mass. to save on taxes with her shopping.
"I like to get the best deals and if I don't have to pay sales tax, even better," she said.
At Macy's, whose television commercials already jingle with festive holiday cheer, the flair of the season was in full swing with discounts on everything from home goods, bedding, clothing and jewelry.
"I'm getting something for my mom but I haven't ... figured out what," Shannon McHallerhearn, 7, said, as she looked through the glass cases of gems in the department store.
"She likes rubies. Maybe I can find one of those," the young shopper thought out loud.
Like others milling around the store, Shannon was looking for the right gift at the right price and that's exactly what the stores hoped to deliver.
But even with all the sales and discounts, items weren't exactly flying off the shelves. Since the point of coming to the stores over Veterans Day weekend was to save every penny possible, shoppers still weighed the purchase of big-ticket items — like electronics.
"I want to surprise my husband with a bigger TV," Nancy Geilar said. She said her husband is a football fan and currently watches games on an older 19-inch television and she wanted to have him unwrap a flat-screen display as an early Christmas gift.
"I'll have to give it to him on Thanksgiving so he can enjoy the games that afternoon," she said. That early deadline is what brought her to Best Buy Saturday rather than waiting until Black Friday — the day after Thanksgiving — to start her shopping.
"I usually have a pretty good system," Nancy said of her post-turkey day outing. "I go out with my sister and we just go crazy."
Some shoppers said they were mostly looking to avoid Black Friday craziness by coming out this weekend instead.
"I like getting the best price but you won't see me shopping on Black Friday," Kelly Stawridge said.
A veteran of the annual tradition, Kelly said she was tired of fighting the crowds that day and was happy to enjoy a more relaxed day of shopping on Saturday.
Across the border in Maine, the Kittery Premium Outlets buzzed with shoppers piling into the stores and stuffing their vehicles with goods.
"My sisters and I love Coach," Ashleigh Karlow said.
Holding shopping bags from Coach and Old Navy, Ashleigh just started her day and was already pleased with her spending.
"Each of us chipped in and wanted to get our mom a new purse. She's usually buying them for us and then stealing it months later to use. Now, she'll have her own," Karlow beamed.
notable shopping awesomeness:
hot games under $10 and free layaway, just like the commercials that have been running for a couple weeks now say- toys r us
Skullcandy headphones $149.99 Radio Shack
$54 Furby and free layaway at Kmart
Macy's coats, boots and winter outerwear under $100 and 60% off various Homegoods items through Thursday
Area stores slash prices to kick off holiday season

Pot racks come in many shapes and sizes, and, thanks to top name brands like Enclume, you know you are getting great quality along with the style. Enclume is a leader in the kitchen organization industry, specializing in racks for pots, pans, and more. They also have elegant wine racks for storage, display and décor. Organize your home in style with pot racks from Enclume.
Hanging pot racks are the optimum space-saving kitchen tools. Suspended from the ceiling, a hanging pot rack gives you double the storage without taking up any extra space. Use the hooks to hang large frying pans, bulky pots and oversized serving utensils. The grid shelf can be utilized for storage space, decorative items or even bigger basting pans and the like.
Wall mounted pot racks are also helpful space-saving devices. Unlike a hanging pot rack, wall mounted pot racks are a bigger part of your décor, extending into your room's design. As such, Enclume has designed these pot racks with extra flair and beauty. From bamboo details to curling brackets, these wall mounted pot racks go the extra mile in both style and usefulness.
Free standing pot racks, on the other hand, take up a small amount of floor space, but offer a large impact on your ambiance. Pretty and petite, free standing pot racks give you the perfect place for cookbooks, potted plants, and other various items that you'd like to keep around your kitchen but can't find the right place for. These pot racks stand nicely in the corner, so they take up minimal space. This means you can even incorporate free standing pot racks into a smaller kitchen setup.
So whether a hanging pot rack is ideal for you or wall mounted pot racks better suit your style, Enclume has just the right racks for pots, pans and other kitchen keepers in your home. Regain control of your kitchen with your own designer pot racks today.

Is this joke good enough? I don't think so. Maybe you do, but come on. It's a pretty boring, somewhat obvious subversion of a genre. You could just as easily have gone for Frankenstein (the monster) getting the normal brain instead of the messed-up one, and being an ordinary person. Or a radioactive spider who is released into the world, but is then crushed by someone's foot before he can bite anyone. I feel like I've heard these jokes in tons of different places. [update: Apparently I was getting Frankenstein confused with the Mel Brooks' parody Young Frankenstein, which, while it means that I've referred to two generations of Brookses in this post, also is a dumb mistake. so here's a new example: Man gets turned into werewolf, but it's always really cloudy out and so he can't tell if the moon is out or not.]
One such place, as Tomical pointed out in the comments, is a recent Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal (recent here meaning last 6 months), which has the exact same joke (zombie movie is really romantic comedy). This is hardly the first time xkcd has copied SMBC, and I'm sure it's hardly the first time that some xkcd defenders will try to explain how it is a totally different joke (xkcd is left to right, smbc was top down!) and hopefully we can all yell at them. STOP COPYING OTHER PEOPLE'S JOKES, IT IS EXTREMELY LAME.

Sequestration: How Tower Closures Will Affect You
Expect the possibility of delays at airports you use, starting April 7. That date marks the beginning of a four-week period during which 149 air-traffic-control towers are scheduled to close because of Congress's "sequester" law, though the airports themselves will remain open. The FAA has indicated that local funding could keep towers operational, and on March 28 the Texas DOT said it plans to fund 13 at-risk-of-closing towers in that state.
Notable tower closures include those at Igor I. Sikorsky Memorial in Bridgeport, Connecticut; San Diego Brown Field; Atlanta Cobb County-McCollum Field; Chicago Waukegan; New Bedford [Massachusetts] Regional; Trenton [New Jersey] Mercer; Flight Options' home base at Cuyahoga County in Cleveland, Ohio; and Dallas Executive. You can find a complete list of tower closures here.
While no one can predict for certain how the closures will affect business jet passengers, almost everyone agrees that the action will cause inconvenience such as departure delays. This is because most charter companies and many private operators follow instrument flight rules (IFR), which means air traffic controllers track them from start to finish.
"In the past, with a tower operating, you'd get your [IFR] clearance from ground control," commented corporate pilot Chauncey Webb. "Now, with no tower, everyone has to call [via phone or radio] the flight service station. Everyone will be calling the same person, and it's not like they are increasing the manpower at these places."
Wayne Toher, president of charter provider Reliant Air in Danbury, Connecticut, said, "Passengers should get ready for a little more inconvenience at remote airports, and to expect to feel the effects right away."
Webb and Toher think that the delays, on average, will be around 20 minutes. But Webb pointed out that "you won't be able to get clearance to take off until you are ready to go, and a lot depends on weather. On bad-weather days, the delays for takeoff could exceed an hour."
While 20 minutes may not seem like much, it could be significant to business travelers. "Even a brief delay can impact the business at hand," said Laura Everington, manager of regulatory services for flight-planning and -services company Universal Weather and Aviation. "It's a disruption to commerce and trade."
Everington added that her company is advising clients to be "very proactive and do feasibility checks on every trip. Do not assume that an airport will be open just because it has been for the past 20 years." She pointed out that the federal cuts could particularly impact international travelers. "Don't assume that there will be customs clearance on an international arrival just because there always has been," she said.
The closures have raised concerns about safety, though most general aviation pilots are already accustomed to landing in areas with no control towers. One pilot, who asked to remain anonymous, compared the tower closures to "a city that has 500 traffic lights and one morning 150 are turned off. Just like in a city with fewer stoplights, traffic will move more slowly and not as safely."
Said Toher: "We already fly into airports with no towers, and sometimes they can get extremely busy. We deal with it very carefully. A non-controlled airfield presents another level of caution for business fliers, and we deal with it with heightened alertness and with the knowledge that there could be someone flying around the pattern who doesn't know what he is doing. We are looking out the window."
If this issue concerns you, it may make sense to reach out to your state congressional representative or local government officials. The National Business Aviation Association has been vocal about the tower closures and has several resources available. BJT will continue to follow this story to give you updates on how the sequester could affect your business jet travel.

My first maternity leave with Cal, you'll remember, was three weeks into my Anesthesia residency. So I spent much of that five weeks off from work trying to memorize Baby Miller, or at least, you know, sitting at a desk with Baby Miller open in front of me. That was...fun.
With Mack, I had the second round edits due on my book--and this was a big edit, since the first round manuscript had the chapters arranged by theme instead of chronologically; it was basically akin to dismantling your entire house and then building it again but with the rooms all in different places, with, uh, new doors and hallways connecting them (that creaking sound is that of a metaphor becoming overly labored)--so that leave was also spent marinating in a stew of low-grade obligation and stress.
But this maternity leave, I think I pretty much cleared the deck. I'm not even doing those speaking engagements anymore, so there's no more of that "I gotta do my slides, I gotta review my slides, I gotta practice running through my slides" that has catagorized most of last year up until the Spring when I quit traveling.
So I'm doing some sewing is what I'm saying.
Some functional stuff I made for the baby. That blanket, based on the tutorial here, and that crib sheet, based on the tutorial here. Both were actually really easy, so fellow novice sewers, have at it, you will be surprised and pleased.
Then I modified the measurements on the fitted mattress sheet tutorial to make a cover for the diaper changing pad here. This was especially pleasing because I got this piece of red striped cotton fabric from the "scraps" bin at the fabric store for 99 cents. It was just big enough for the project, which was a happy coincidence. (Joe also thought it was a coincidence that the cover matched the alphabet print hanging over the changing table, but I disabused him of that notion quickly--THE COLOR COORDINATION WAS PLANNED, DAMMIT.)
Speaking of salvage, my new thing is sewing with knit fabrics from thrift store finds. Woven fabrics are nice and of course come in gorgeous prints, but in making things for kids, knit fabrics (think T-shirts, stretchy pants, etcetera) are much softer and more comfortable, especially for a baby. Even for older kids--Cal complained endlessly when he had to wear this button-down shirt for school picture day, but he will wear any T-shirt or polo shirt until it basically disintegrates. So anyway, I found this soft cotton sweater at the thrift store--not my style, and also not my size, but appealing in its oatmeal and grey stripes. As you will soon see, I love stripes. So I hacked off the bottom part and hacked off the sleeves, and made these two new items, respectively.
The internet is full of variations on how to make a dress from a onesie, so I'll just point you to this one here and say that I just sawed off a tube of fabric from the bottom of an adult T-shirt just to make it that much easier. For comfort I decided to place the skirt part up higher, like an empire waist, so that the inflexible part of the stitching wouldn't be over the baby's stomach, where her width is the widest.
The pants I made out of the sweater sleeves, which was great because I basically had only had to sew the crotch seam and the casing. (Tutorial for that little project here--but again, the internet is full of similar tutorials and variations therein, just look around.) The onesies I got from Rock Bottom T-shirts, who I've mentioned before and with whom I have no relationship, but boy do I love them. (Another plug: I also ordered some polo shirts from them for Mack's school uniforms--they are of surprisingly good quality.)
Using the bottom part of a T-shirt to make a dress was so easy that I just went ahead and made a couple more for the fall. MORE STRIPES, PLEASE. (No pants out of the navy and grey striped T-shirt, unfortunately--I would have loved to make them, but unfortunately that T-shirt was short-sleeved.)
And just so you don't think I am totally anti-pink, this last one here, which I'm hoping will fit by around Thanksgiving.
Just an observation--your local Goodwill is where all Gap, Old Navy and Target-branded shirts (your Merona, your Cherokee, your Massimo for Target, what have you) go to die. It's like the elephant graveyard of soft T-shirts.
Another thing that they have at thrift stores is old sweaters. Many of them are hideous, but some of them are decent, or, barring that, made of very soft wools or cotton (sometimes even cashmere) that you can rescue and turn into something else. I found this grey angora turtleneck sweater that I was able to turn into two things for the winter. (I kind of wish I had taken I picture of the sweater before I started, but this was my first time doing some of this stuff so in the event that it turned out crappy you understand I wanted to hide the evidence.) First, these pants:
Again, from the sleeves of the sweater. The angora is really pretty soft, but wool always has the potential to be scratchy so I decided to line the inside of the pants with the remnants of another thrifted T-shirt. I actually had used that T- shirt to make another pair of soft pants, but I screwed that pair up in that I wasn't playing close attention and ended up sewing half the seams on the outside, half on the inside. However, all was not lost--I just slipped that whole pair of pants inside the sweater pants, sewed them together and folded up the cuffs, and behold. Mistake rectified.
I mentioned this was a turtleneck sweater, right? Well, there wasn't quite enough fabric to make the sleeves long enough, so I used the ribbing from the turtleneck to extend the sleeve length and make cuffs. YOU'RE GOD DAMN RIGHT I DID.
I also used some of the leftover ribbing from the turtleneck to bind off the collar. My stitching has its lumpy bits, but it won't be spotted from a trotting horse. (Remember how Ramona's dad said that about her lamb costume? I still think about that sometimes. That and how the older girls colored her nose with mascara.)
And this was what was left of the sweater after I was done. Every part of the buffalo, baby.

As with most platforms, Android gives us a few options to store data so that it persists even after we've terminated the application. Of the various ways we can do this, text files either stored in the application's own files directory or to the phone's SD card represent one approach. Preferences are also frequently used to store data because they can be both hidden from the user and persist as long as the application is installed. And while not strictly speaking in the same category, Assets can be useful for storing read-only data, too. Assets are essentially files that you bundle into the application package prior to compilation in the project assets folder, which can be accessed at runtime. I will take a closer look at these later.
Sometimes, however, we need to be able to carry out complex operations on persistent data, or the volume of data requires a more efficient method of management than a flat text file or preference entry will allow. This is where a mobile database comes in.
Android comes with SQLite (version 3.5.9+), which has been available on the platform since release 1.5 of the OS (the "Cupcake" release). For readers unfamiliar with SQLite, it is a self-contained, server-less, transactional SQL database. While it has its limitations, SQLite serves as a powerful tool in the Android developer's arsenal.
What I'll principally cover here is one way to use a SQLite database in Android, concentrating on its management; specifically, creation and update, rather than all the runtime operations.
Managing SQLite
To begin with, we can manage SQLite using a class that extends
SQLiteOpenHelper, which comes with a constructor and two required methods;
onCreate and
Naturally, the first of these is executed when the constructor is instantiated; it is here that, via the superclass, we provide four important pieces of data:
- Context. This is the context of the application. It can be useful to set this in the constructor and store it locally for later use in other methods.
- Database name. This is the filename (as a
String) of the physical database file being accessed.
- Cursor factory. The cursor factory in use, if any.
- Database Version. This is the version of your database (as an integer), which I'll discuss in more detail later. Your initial version should be 1.
For our example, we put these four pieces together and get the following:
class DB extends SQLiteOpenHelper { final static int DB_VERSION = 1; final static String DB_NAME = "mydb.s3db"; Context context; public DB(Context context) { super(context, DB_NAME, null, DB_VERSION); // Store the context for later use this.context = context; }
The constructor does two things. First, it checks whether the database exists and, if not, will call the
onCreate method. Second, if the database does exist, it will check whether the existing database version number differs from the one implemented in the constructor, so as to determine if the database has been updated. If it has, the
onUpgrade method will be called.
Additionally, as we now know that the
onCreate method is called only when the database does not exist, it can be used as a handy way to determine if you're dealing with a first run of the application following installation. As such, you can use this method to call any other methods that you need executed only on the first run, such as EULA dialogs.
Let's look at the database itself. For the purposes of this article, I'm just going to use a very simple employee database with a SQL creation script as follows:
CREATE TABLE employees ( _id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, name TEXT NOT NULL, ext TEXT NOT NULL, mob TEXT NOT NULL, age INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT '0' );
We can easily construct this by hard-coding and executing the creation SQL, line by line, in our code as follows:
@Override public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase database) { database.execSQL( "CREATE TABLE employees ( _id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY " + "AUTOINCREMENT, name TEXT NOT NULL, ext TEXT NOT NULL, " + "mob TEXT NOT NULL, age INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT '0')"); }
As you can see, this can get quite unwieldy once the database reaches a certain size and complexity, so the ideal solution would be to bundle a SQL creation script as an asset file. To use this approach, you need to write a method that takes in a SQL script from the assets directory and parses it, executing it line by line:
@Override public void onCreate(SQLiteDatabase database) { executeSQLScript(database, "create.sql"); } private void executeSQLScript(SQLiteDatabase database, String dbname) { ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); byte buf[] = new byte[1024]; int len; AssetManager assetManager = context.getAssets(); InputStream inputStream = null; try{ inputStream = assetManager.open(dbname); while ((len = inputStream.read(buf)) != -1) { outputStream.write(buf, 0, len); } outputStream.close(); inputStream.close(); String[] createScript = outputStream.toString().split(";"); for (int i = 0; i < createScript.length; i++) { String sqlStatement = createScript[i].trim(); // TODO You may want to parse out comments here if (sqlStatement.length() > 0) { database.execSQL(sqlStatement + ";"); } } } catch (IOException e){ // TODO Handle Script Failed to Load } catch (SQLException e) { // TODO Handle Script Failed to Execute } }
While this is a more complex approach than simply executing each SQL statement for very simple databases, it quickly pays dividends once the database becomes more complex or you need to pre-populate it. You'll also see that I abstracted the creation into a separate method called
executeSQLScript so that it can be reused in other situations, as I'll explain later on.

VANCOUVER — Like any newcomer to Twitter, Willie Mitchell was experimenting with social media Saturday night.
While enjoying a glass of wine with his wife, Megan, at the West Coast Lodge in Tofino, the Los Angeles Kings defenceman posted a picture with the caption: 'No more relaxing place in the world to be.'
"Thirty seconds later, the tsunami sirens started started going off in front of the lodge and I chucked my credit card at the guy and we flew out the door and followed the evacuation route which led to a golf course," Mitchell recalled Monday after practising with the UBC Thunderbirds. "We bunkered down there for about two hours trying to figure out what exactly was going on."
When a 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck off Haida Gwaii at 8:04 p.m., as the Pacific plate and North Amierican Plate slid past each other, tsunami warnings were issued for parts of the central B.C. coast, Haida Gwaii, Alaska and even Hawaii.
"We didn't feel anything, but if the plates had lifted and dropped, it would have been a big deal in Tofino and a tsunami for sure," said Mitchell. "When you live in a low-lying area like that, you can go five miles off shore in Tofino and it's only a 100 feet deep. When a tsunami comes and starts to hit that shallow water, it builds and builds and can be quite significant when it hits the shore. I've been on the water my whole life and kind of get that a bit.
"It was do we even stay the night in Tofino because you're not going to sleep. You're paranoid about the aftershocks and what could come."
Former teammate Brendan Morrison has an ocean-front home in Tofino and Mitchell ensured it was safe. He also heard from the West Coast Fishing Club on the west side of Haida Gwaii where he was told the Outpost lodge 'almost felt like it was sliding into the ocean.'
When Tofino residents and tourists were evacuated to safe zones Saturday, it only emphasized the reality of living in an earthquake region and how people and agencies reacted to the significant event. Mitchell was born in tiny Port McNeill on Vancouver Island, played four seasons for the Canucks and as a current member of the Kings understands the seriousness of it all. He was concerned how late the tsunami warning was issued by provincial authorities to alert local responders and surprised at the demeanour of some he encountered.
"Some had an urgency to them and some kind of laughed a little bit," added Mitchell, who's building an ocean-view home in Tofino that will sit 80 feet above the shoreline and willing to accept the risks. "You end up finding out it [siren] went off 45 minutes after the quake and that's a bit disturbing. In B.C., we need to get that information out sooner. In the U.S., their warning went out at 8:04. A tsunami alarm with the quake happening long before is too late. What kind of warning is that going to be with water over your head?
"It would be nice to see it [information] get more streamlined and get warnings out quicker. If you feel it [quake] fairly close, your warning system is to get to high ground. It's like anything, the processes will get better after a significant event like this."

Whenever most people think of chest pain, they associate it with a heart attack. That's important because any type of chest pain is a serious warning and should be evaluated by emergency medical services right away. However, there is a chance it could turn out be a rare form of angina called variant or Prinzmetal's angina.
What is Variant Angina?
Variant angina is caused by a spasm in a coronary artery that supplies the heart muscle with blood, oxygen, and nutrients. A spasm is a sudden, temporary narrowing or tightening of a small part of an artery. This spasm results in a temporary situation where the heart does not get enough blood. The blockage of blood flow causes the characteristic chest pain associated with angina.
Unlike other forms of angina, variant angina occurs during periods of rest, when you are not exerting yourself. Generally, this occurs during the overnight or early morning hours.
Coronary artery spasms can occur in people who do not have significant coronary artery disease (CAD). CAD occurs as a result of atherosclerosis, a narrowing and hardening of the coronary arteries caused by plaque deposits lining artery walls. However, some people with variant angina have severe CAD disease in at least one blood vessel. The spasm typically occurs at the site of blockage. Fortunately, coronary artery spasm does not typically trigger the series of events that can lead to a heart attack. However, if a coronary artery spasm is severe and occurs for a long period of time, a heart attack can occur.
Coronary artery spasm may be triggered by emotional stress, exposure to cold, cocaine use, or heavy smoking. People who have underlying coronary artery disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (an enlarged heart due to disease), disease of the heart valves, or uncontrolled high blood pressure are also at an increased risk of variant angina.
What are the Symptoms of Variant Angina?
The symptoms of variant angina include:
Intermittent chest pain that:
- Occurs while resting, or during the overnight or early morning hours
- May spread to other parts of the body, such as the throat, arms, between the shoulder blades, or stomach (may feel like an ulcer or indigestion)
- Gives a feeling of tightness, pressure, or heaviness
- Nausea
- Sweating
- Palpitations—rapid, irregular, or skipped heartbeats
- Lightheadedness
- Trouble breathing
How Is Variant Angina Diagnosed?
Variant angina is rare, so you may undergo standard heart tests to determine what is causing your chest pains. Diagnostic tests may help pinpoint a problem, but they can also be used to rule out other conditions. Tests may include:
- ECG—To record the electrical activity of your heart. If done during an attack, it may show changes due to low blood flow to the heart. This test may also identify heart rhythm problems and damage to your heart caused by a previous heart attack.
- Blood tests—To look for cholesterol, blood glucose, and inflammatory marker levels. Testing for the presence/quantity of heart muscle enzymes in the blood may indicate heart muscle damage.
- Holter monitor—Records your heart's electrical activity for up to 72 hours.
- Stress test—To evaluate heart function during exercise.
If necessary, your doctor will recommend imaging tests that can better evaluate the structure and function of the heart and blood vessels.
How Is Variant Angina Treated?
Variant angina is often treated with medications called calcium channel blockers. These medications can decrease variant angina attacks and are often used in combination with nitrates during attacks. If another condition is contributing to your angina, such as CAD, then it will need to be treated as well..
The goal of treating variant angina is to stop the symptoms. Your doctor will work with you to come up with a plan that also includes:
- Stopping the use of any drugs that cause coronary artery spasm
- Reviewing your lifestyle and habits to reduce your risk for heart disease, such as eating a heart-healthy diet and regular physical activity
- Having frequent follow-up appointments to check your progress
- Quitting smoking
What Can You Do?
Remember that many types of chest pain aren't related to angina at all. For example, heartburn, injury, or inflammation of the lungs may also cause chest pain. However, there may be no way for you to distinguish one type of chest pain from another. Therefore, any chest pain you experience should be evaluated by emergency medical services right away. It is important to note that you should not drive to the hospital. Emergency medical services begin life-saving treatment on the way to the hospital, which could save your life if you are having a heart attack.
However, if you have a history of variant angina, there are some things you can do to take care of yourself such as:
- Follow your treatment plan, which may include medications and lifestyle changes
- Avoiding drugs that may worsen your condition
- Reporting any new symptoms to your doctor right away

Although none of us here at Windows Phone Central are in school anymore, we do still suffer flashback nightmares of Calculus I, II and beyond. And yet we have fond memories of our TI -81 graphing calculator, which is why we have an affinity for Grapher.
Grapher Calculator is not only one of the top paid apps for Windows Phone, it's also well worth the price of a $1.49. It has all the advance functions you want, customizations options and it was even recently updated to support Windows Phone 8's higher resolutions for super sharp graphics.
The app has a free 'lite' version but you'll want to go and download the full one right now as it is temporarily free for the taking. The developer has done in this past and it usually lasts 6 days or so, meaning time is of the essence. Once you download the app for free, that license is permanently at that price even if you uninstall it or switch phones.
We're hoping a few of college bound (or super geeky high school students) managed to get a Windows Phone over Christmas, if so, jump on this deal now and be set for the coming semester.
Pick up Grapher Calculator for Windows Phone 7.x and Windows Phone 8 here in the Store. Thanks, JimmyR., for the tip!

ASR September 2008 is in full swing, so you know what that means: Skank Party!!! Just joshing girls, well most of you anyway. Here's what the non-skate area looks like, plus some manly men for the complainers out there.
Photos: Carleton Curtis
People love to talk sh-t about ASR and how lame it is, but I see it like this: When it's my job to see some great friends that I don't get to see too often, and all the food and drinks are free, it ain't a bad thing. So here's what I did and who I saw on the first night of the madness. More to come all weekend.
Photos: Blair Alley
Friday at ASR, Grind For Life held a high ollie contest. Little Aldrin Garcia came up a few inches short of the world record but still pulled through with a 40 inch ollie, the highest ollie of the day, and $1,500 cash. Runners up included Kien "The Donger" Lieu, Luis Tolentino, and Darren Harper.

Two very functional spaces in your home – the kitchen and bathroom – have an element your other rooms probably don't. That's right, cabinets! MasterBrand cabinets shares their kitchen and bath trends for 2015.

2015's cabinets are packed with features to make your daily chores easier. Pull-out and pull-down shelves make even the back of the cabinets accessible. And clever accessories like a tablet holder that drops down from the bottom the cabinet to hold you digital recipe book are making your fast-paced life easier.
Double Duty
Cabinet makers are pulling out all the stops to find more storage space for all your kitchen and bathroom supplies. Slide out shelves that tuck discretely behind a sleek mirror take the clutter off your countertops.
Opening Up
For those accessories you don't want to hide, new open shelving options make showcasing your favorite dishes, pretty vases or even your favorite bath products easy and convenient. Our tip for open shelving – keep it simple. Stick to one set of similar dishes or accessories in the same color family.

0 Members and 1 Lonely Barbarian are spying on this topic.
MysticMoon: Hmm, maybe a drunk writers guild?MysticMoon: You must write and comment on subs while sloshedMysticMoon: Higher levels require progressively higher blood alcohol levels
A list of drinks imbibed prior to and during the writing process must be included.
For the Science!I think Chaos hit our motto.And, yes, a list of drinks. I want to know who still sips Zima.
Is it Friday already? *hiccup*
I propose making the Drunk Writers Guild a bit of a different beast than the others:Drunk writing is for dabblers only; it's ok to visit the tavern but you may not live there. In other words, there are only individual excursions and no quests. Think of it as a nice place to put up your feet and tip back a pint between quests.There are no rewards. No attributes, no points. Just the recognition of your fellow inebriates.Maybe a graphic (like an empty bottle with a "For Science!" logo) associated with a "Writer Was Sloshed" or "Written While Intoxicated" freetext? Following that, the writer must post their drinks list and sub link here (BAC vs creativity charts optional.)
:cry:Scars are you saying you get drunk and post on other websites?!?! You dirty e-whore!and by e-whore I mean depressive sawdust filled donkey.
Great thread. The Dwarven Guild hereby declares a hostile takeover of the Drunk Writers Guild. From here on out, if you join this guild, you are automatically joining the Dwarven Guild (the grand-daddy of all guilds). There is no one here to even challenge our glorious, bloodless, coup. Just a few drunks.

While having sex with a girl with pubic hair, light her pubes on fire as you ejaculate. Your semen will put out half of the burning hair, and afterwards while she is flapping her arms about wildly, scream: "YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH BADGES TO TRAIN ME!" and run out of the room.
I would totally have given that chick a Charizard but I didn't have my lighter on me.
by anonymouseGA March 23, 2009
Challenge Video
A nasty little one- a charizard evolves from Charmeleon starting at level 36. It is the final form of Charmander. this flying type Pokemon will light your ass up with his firebreathing mouth. charizard is also known to pwn every pokemon known to professor oak (and colleagues) with exception to mew, Mewtwo, and Jigglypuff. overall, charizard will pwn any and every other pokemon in the species of pokemon.
Damn- Charizard just lit up Bulbasaur's ass with a Mega Punch.
by C.Omalley January 29, 2009
A sexual maneuver where a man pulls his penis out of the woman's vagina right before he ejaculates. The man, then, takes a swig of whiskey while proceeding to light a butane lighter. The man blows the flame onto the woman's pubic hairs lighting them on fire. Shortly afterwards, the man extinguishes the flames with his ejaculation.
Bill gave Mandy a 'Charizard' last night while they were having sex.
by Pflueger204 October 23, 2007
One of my fond childhood memories and I have the balls to admit it! This was my favourite pokemon as a kid and YES I DID like pokemon as a kid, just like everyone else in the entire world did at the time. So you people my age really need to stop hating on pokemon, it's not as embarrassing as it's made out!
by 18 year old January 29, 2008
When you youre having sex with a girl, then just before you orgasm, you pull out and set her pubic hair on fire. You then ejaculate on her, putting some of the fire out. You then stand up and flap your arms yelling "you need more badges to control me!"
"why don't you talk to samantha anymore?"
"uh..i kinda did a charizard on her."
"uh..i kinda did a charizard on her."
by Timothay February 24, 2009
a fucking bitch that never listened to ash until charizard loses.
by latioslatias April 10, 2015
A sexual move when you light a girls pubes on fire and put them out with your ejaculate. You then flap your arms widly and yell "you do not have enough badges to train me!"
I gave Christine a Charizard last night and she flipped out when i started screaming about badges.

text: Balthasar Burkhard was one of the first Swiss artists to employ large-format enlargements in a new approach to photographic design. He began with monumental, statue-like details of the human body and nudes, going on to produce series of works in which the landscape emerged as his preferred theme. Throughout his life he worked almost exclusively in black and white, but shortly before his death he created a series of flower pictures in colour: monumentally oversized and yet fragile blossoms against an undefined black background.

How to Keep Your Floors Beautiful - Welcome Mats
Did you know that tiny pieces of tracked in dirt act like sand paper on hardwood floors? Not to mention, all that dirt and grime can get caught in your carpet and tracked all over your house. You can try the "shoes off" rule but there's another simple way to protect your floors from the dirt trying to catch a free ride into your home on your feet - welcome mats. That's right, welcome mats aren't just for dressing up your doorway. A good entryway mat can catch dirt before it has a chance to wreak havoc on your floors.
When you're choosing a welcome mat, look for one that is large enough to span the entire width of your door. You'll also want fibers that will help sweep the dirt off your feet. To protect the floor underneath your mat, you might want to look for a rubber backing that will keep liquids from seeping through to your floors. The pink ribbon welcome mats from Carpet One Floor & Home are a great example of a good welcome mat. They have a rubber backing that grips to your floor to stay in place and as a bonus, they're machine washable.
Welcome mats are available in all kinds of designs and colors so no matter what your style, there's no excuse not to protect your floors at every entryway.

Despite me being uninterested in 'Venomous Villains' as I HATE the packaging, I still managed to attend and am glad I did as I did end up buying some things and hanging out with my favourite bloggers - Woot!
I got 3 lipsticks, 'Innocence Beware!' the nude, 'Toxic Tale' the coral and 'Dark Deed' the dark wine.
The nude you can understand, the coral 'OK' well the deep wine colour? What was I thinking when I purchased 'Dark Deed'? This is what I was thinking.... Dark lips in the style of Megan Fox! I will "try" to rock it. :)
'Toxic Tale' is very similar to 'Vegas Volt' which I don't own but more pinker and less orange, it's a satin finish and very pigmented. It's not something that you "need" but it does look gorgeous on!
'Innocence Beware!' is almost identical to 'Creme D'nude' but more pink, however it's not as dark as 'Creme Cup', it's most similar to 'Hue' but a tiny bit more pink, see swatch comparisons below.
Basically, nobody needs to rush out and buy this nude, it's nothing new.
My only MUST HAVE from this collection is the 'Mean and Green' nail polish. I could easily wear this everyday for the rest of my life, it's a satin nail varnish with a holographic shimmer. It looks like a deep dark green with purple, green, gold and gray shimmers. FYI: It sold out at the preview!
It translates beautifully on the nails just like it looks in the bottle. However it did need 3 coats, but it applies so nicely with no streaks that it isn't much hassle. The colour changes when you move your nails it's just beautiful, I LOVE it - It's a dupe for Orly's 'Space Cadet' which is very hard to get hold of. The other 2 polishes were pretty too but nothing special.
Look at the compact packaging? I'm sorry but it looks VERY cheap and childish, I hate it so I have to depot it!
Once you get over the packaging you can appreciate the beauty powder which is very pigmented.
It's a pinky plum blush colour and has no glitter or shimmer.
It's in between 'Well Dressed' and 'Tippy', which is good for me as I really have to layer on 'Well dressed' and I never use 'Tippy' as it's too scary for me.
Venomous Villains is available online on Monday and hits the stores on Thursday in the UK.

Trends In Window Treatments
Windows are often a key design element within a room, acting as an anchor around which furniture is placed and offering priceless natural light. So, if you're someone who has previously put little thought into your window treatments, it's time to reconsider your tactics. But first, hear from Kim Kiner, VP of Material and Textile Design at Hunter Douglas, in our exclusive Q&A to find out what's trending in the world of window treatments.
Are there any new materials being used in window treatments this year?
The most exciting new materials for window fashions are new textile directions that have even richer textures and innovative surface finishes with a glint of subdued sheen.
The Alustra® Collection of Pirouette®. Combining function with beauty, The Alustra® Collection of Pirouette® shadings offer refined texture and subtle sheen creating a captivating ambiance as sunlight filters into the room.
Which color will rise above all others in 2017?
One of the most important color directions that we think will be important in interiors and at the window, is soft and sophisticated taupish gray. This is an evolution of the popularity of gray that is now transitioning to the influence of gray across all colors, but most importantly brown.
Duette® Architella®. Our honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb design offers energy savings in both winter and summer. Choose from the largest selection of fabrics, colors and pleat sizes.
What high tech touches will consumers not be able to resist?
Technology has not only blended onto our lives but also into our homes and window treatments. The introduction of Hunter Douglas PowerView® has been enormously successful as consumers realize the convenience and easy operation of battery operated motorized window treatments that also provide the opportunity to customize the operation of their window treatments and increase the energy efficiency and security of their homes.
Are there any new styles emerging or existing styles that will be gaining ground?
The styles that we feel are most important for homes today are the following.
Warm Minimalism. This trend has been created out of the desire seek a reduced way of living that is soft and comfortable, exudes calm and serenity, but has impeccable design and an organic natural warmth.
Mindful Living. There is a trend toward restoring comfort in our homes and balance in our lives. So this trend creates a softer living environment with a relaxed aesthetic and casual sophistication.
Everyday Luxury. There is a monumental shift in the definition of luxury that elevates the everyday with exceptional quality, unparalleled products and high-end design.

TransWorld Park Sessions: Aspen Snowmass
Last Spring we had Mark and Craig McMorris, Gjermund Bråten, and Tyler Flanagan come up to Aspen Snowmass, Colorado, for a park shoot. There was good weather, a good crew, and good times. It's these kind of scenarios that create progression. And that's just what happened. Mark laid down the world's first backside triple cork 1440 and Gjermund did all four double cork 10s.

Halloween Mimi
Last year Mimi was part of the Incredibles. She, Nick Cannon, and DemBabies all dressed up in the same costume. It was truly family styles.
F-CK. That sh-t.
Why should Mimi be one of many?
This year she righted the situation.
This year Mimi was Goldilocks. And everyone else - Roc, Roe, the husband - they were all bears. No-name bears. Boring, indistinguishable bears.
I am very, very sad that we don't have a photo of Goldilocks Mimi trying to stand up in those heels.
Also, I love that she can never remember how she wants to spell DemBabies. Sometimes it's DemBabies. Other times it's Dem Babies. Or it could be Dembabies. There is no consistency on the dembabies.com. Please. Why waste time on quality control when they could be adding more gold and glitter to MariahCarey.com?
