Any tips for husband gifts? Just married. He already has everything I can think of and isn't a sports fan! He's a movie buff, import car, beer and cheese-lover, mechanic, tool and gadget guy, whiskey drinker. Stuff I'm clueless about!
ARA: Looking for Christmas gift ideas for my husband
30 Responses
a really expensive, nice bottle of whiskey, if you go into exit 9 wine and liquer I am sure someone there can help you find a good bottle, or tickets to a beer and cheese tasting.
My boyfriend is a mechanic, tool and gadget guy. He spends hours perusing Craigslist and Ebay for good deals on used parts he can then use to fix up his toys, and sell at a better price than what he purchased everything for.
He is also very difficult to buy for, as his whole being exudes "only buy what you need"…. save your money."
I found the greatest gift for him, I buy it every year, and he looks foward to it more than any other gift, and even though it is boring, it is useful, which is important to him. I buy him gift cards for Ebay. Even if he doen'st purchase something great for a month or two, he is like a little kid when he gets to use the cards, and is so thankful.
Well, that is my mechanic. Maybe yours as well?
There's a Beer of the Month Club that my roommate's sister got her as a gift last Christmas. She got a beer glass and every month is sent a new beer to try. Not sure about the details but google it and hope you find something. Also, maybe find out his favorite movie and have the movie poster framed?
Go to Oliver's or Westmere Beverage and ask for some suggestions on interesting micro-brews he hasn't yet tried.
Buy a fondue set, and make sure you have the ingredients for a nice cheese fondue. (Bonus points for a cheese fondue recipe that has beer as an ingredient).
Upgrade an existing tool he has. For example, if he has a generic drill buy him a DeWalt (they come in titanium or plastic, the titanium is better quality and more $$).
If he's a movie buff, something for his home entertainment system could be a good idea.
I love ThinkGeek.com for misc. gadgets for my husband.
Finally, if he has a good sense of humor, a fun gag gift might be a model car. :-)
Cheese of the month club.
A good gift for beer lovers: IncrediBrew is a brewery in Nashua, NH that allows YOU to brew your own batch of beer with a professional for the day. My friends had gone and came back with an amazing IPA – Hopzilla it may have been called? – that they could say was their creation. It's $140 for the beer making and I believe you take home 6, 22 ounce bottles. They also have wine and soda making for the non-beer lovers and kids! It makes for a great gift which turns into a lovely day or weekend trip! http://www.incredibew.com
Another idea – home brewing kit so he can brew beer at home!
I've heard a cordless drill mentioned a couple times this season for husband gifts.
My boyfriend is also a whiskey lover. Uncommon Goods sells a set of Whiskey Stones to keep the whiskey/scotch cold, but since they don't melt, the flavors don't get watered down. They are sold by themselves in a set of 9 or in a gift set with a couple rocks glasses.
Tools, tools and more tools. It is so easy to get gifts when you are first married, especially for a handy guy. I bought tools for my husband for the first 10 years of our marriage. Here are some that he would love: a table saw, battery powered drill and drill bits, set of wrenches, a tool chest, a new level, a stud finder (seriously), a 10 ft ladder, the list goes on and on. Ask one of your handy friends, they can suggest even more.
Hudson River Baby Bourbon from Tuthill Town Distillery in the Hudson Valley. Awesome whisky and it's local. My husband thinks it's the best.
Are there shows he watches? Check online for tshirts, coffee mugs, etc.
If he's a tool guy, head over to Sears and check out the Craftsman tool collection. My dad loves Craftsman tools.
Jelly Of The Month Club. Because we all know how much Clark Griswald appreciated it..
If you go down to the Pump Station, you can buy a growler and then it's refillable. You could then take him down and have him try a sampler and he can choose what kind of refill he wants.
I got my husband a home beer making kit for his birthday last year. It can be pricey, but it eventually pays for itself as homemade beer is cheaper. I bought his kit at williamsbrewing.com
If you order online it most likely won't arrive before Christmas, but another great local store is Hammersmith Homebrew in Latham. There website is hammersmithhomebrew.com
I went to Homebrew Improrium on rt 4 in East Greenbush and got my husband a beer making kit. he now brews his own beer and loves it! they are great there and will tell you exactly what you need to get.
I can't keep quiet..I see a disaster happening and feel for this guy..
Too many (women) are recomending tools; the recommendation for "Craftsman" tools scares me the most.
As a "tool guy" I have to say DO NOT buy him tools. You said yourself that you don't know anyting about them, and I'm sure he does. You're almost guaranteed to buy something he doesn't want or need. Then he'll either have to return it or be stuck keeping it even though it's not really the particular brand he wanted.
Even the whiskey can be tricky but at least it consumable. If you want to go the whiskey, cheese or beer route then buy him something he may have never tried plus something you see he already loves.
But above all else, dress in a sexy santa's helper outfit and the gift won't mattter, it will be a Christmas he never forgets..
Trust me…
Tickets to The Spectrum,NetFlick subscription
Here are some gift card suggestions, I feel that gift cards are the way to go this year, that way they can go to the stores they like and get excatly what they want. Lowes, Home Depot, Regal Cinema for his likes, and Hickory Farms sells all sorts of combinations of cheese and sausage type put togethers. As far as the beer lover in him, see if there is a local bar or resturaunt where you can get hime a gift card for dinner. I know that TGI Friday's or Chilis has a nice bar not to forget really good food. Good luck!
Well it appears a lot of husbands have a drinking problem lol's and then the wives will complain they drink too much…Lol'sBut who is buying the booze for them or as the fashion now an engraved flask…Woemen.
Anyway it took my former wife 25 years to figure out that I liked Fishing & Hunting and Hiking which probably explains why I always got gifts I happy with but not overjoyed…And then one year she bought me 5 of the new Rapala Fishing Lures AND a very samll portable Radio for keeping inside my Tackle box and a Flask.. And my Daughter gave a Buck Folding Knife with a Sharpening Stone and my other Daughter bought me a Titanium Solo Cook set from Snow Peak! And they all chipped in and bought my Dog a Saddle Pack to carry her own food and water in… The best Christmas ever..
If your going to buy your signifcant male a outdoor toy avoid those boxes with 5 types of knives in them or seven fishing lures,,that the cheap stuff and they don't catch fish and as far as outdoor tools last about two days and are well, a waste of your money..
Sounds like a guy who could use a good target rifle or sporting shotgun as a complementary hobby to some of his others.
Most things I had thoguht of have been noted. I will second ideas such as a homebrew kit (I know people who looove the beer they make at home)or beer of the month kind of thing. Even I would enjoy either of those.
Other possibilities are movie tickets, or a package of dinner and a movie, with a gift certificate to somewhere that has some great drink choices and food he likes and movie passes. If he likes smaller movies, go for the Spectrum or Madison Theatre. The whickey with glasses is great, but also throw in there a set of whiskey stones. I got the stones for my mom's BF. They are soapstone cubes that you put in the freezer then put into your drink, so as to not water it down. I got mine from ThinkGeek.com, but googling them you can find them elsewhere.
Laughing hysterically at the comments from "A guy's perspective". You are right. Tools are one thing I do not buy for my guy. He has a ton and is particular about what he wants/needs. I'm working on gifts for adventures for us (we want to take a trip next year so part of the gift is related to that), plus some practical things (Hoffman carwash full service gift certs, for example). A nice cashmere sweater (on sale at Macy's today and tomorrow until 1pm) for him and an equally 'soft and touchable' outfit for you. Maybe wear the sweater with some thigh highs and heels! ;)
You can buy him is own beer brewing kit. My closest friend's wife did this for him and he loved it. I brewed the beer with him one time and I must admit, it was fun. We drank from a prior batch as we made it. :)
# 20 was on the right track. Variety is the spice of life, so get him a woman!–men can never have to many!!! He'll love you forever, and with the right woman you can join in the fun, too!
Think back to that kegerator and all those other thing you wouldn't let him but on your bridal registry and go from there…

Justice Nyland ends long legal career
The legal profession has marked the retirement of Supreme Court Justice Margaret Nyland in Adelaide.
She is Australia's longest-serving woman judge sitting in a state court.
Justice Nyland has spent 48 years working in the law in South Australia, including seven as a District Court judge and 19 years on the bench of the Supreme Court.
She presided over prominent criminal trials, including the murders of Megumi Suzuki, Carolyn Matthews and Pirjo Kemppainen.
At a special sitting of the Supreme Court, Attorney-General John Rau described Justice Nyland as inclusive and always thoughtful.
Chief Justice Chris Kourakis said there was universal recognition of Justice Nyland's court craft and legal skill.
He added she was the life force of the judges' social committee and a lover of good wine.
Justice Nyland's other outside interests ranged from the Art Gallery and Australian Dance Theatre to racing and South Adelaide Football Club.
She became a Member of the Order of Australia in 2005 for services to the judiciary, human rights and the equal status of women.
Justice Nyland reaches the statutory retirement age of 70 next Monday.

Design Principles/Goal
The specification must describe how to use XML syntax to represent a signature over digital content (and XML content in particular).
XML-signatures are generated from a hash over a list of references and the digest value of the references' content.
The meaning of a signature is simple: The XML-signature syntax associates the content of resources listed with a key via a strong one-way transformation.

This is the closest I've ever been to The White Deer of 4.5 star Yelp-rated Point Reyes National Seashore. It was the view I had from Pierce Point Road.
Now, back in the day, the National Park Service was hiring snipers to hunt down the non-native Fallow and Axis Deer so that Tule Elk and other native species would have an easier life. Well, as detailed by Zachary Zoblig, the "Bambi Effect" kicked in like you wouldn't believe. Thusly:
Click to expand
The Friends of the White Deer and Save the Point Reyes Deer are just going to have to live with that…
Good luck, Bambi.
Details of the plan, after the jump
1. Premise: Removal of all axis and fallow deer is not feasible.
First and foremost it is important to note that if this were indeed the case, there would be no need for the 15-page report.
The 3 requirements for successful eradication cited in the report are currently being met:
- The current rate of removal is certainly greater than the reproductive rate.
- NPS owns the land surrounding Vedanta. There is no evidence of a self-sustaining population outside NPS lands in Marin County and therefore there is no immigration. The few fallow deer that are outside the Seashore return into the park and Vedanta property during the annual mating season. At this time they are vulnerable to contraception (on Vedanta property) and lethal removal (on NPS property), therefore no "refugium" for non-native deer exists.
- Fallow deer do not recognize NPS boundaries and are all vulnerable to control when they leave the Vedanta property.
2. Premise: Non-native deer are a cultural and historic resource and specific protection is warranted.
While some local residents do enjoy seeing non-native deer, and others would prefer their absence, their popularity with a segment of the community does not in itself qualify them as cultural or historic resources to be protected by the NPS. The deer, introduced in the 1940s and 1950s, have no connection to the native Coastal Miwoks or the early European explorers and ranchers of the 18
Leaders and representatives of the Seashore's affiliated Coast Miwok tribe, the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria (FIGR), take the position that the only historically and culturally significant animals inhabiting park lands are natives. The non-native deer hold no cultural significance to tribal members, who value most highly the native deer species, black-tailed deer and tule elk. The FIGR agree that non-native species are a threat to native deer, fully support the Seashore's approach to managing non-native deer, and have assisted the Seashore with the program.
3. Premise: Controlling a remnant herd forever is preferable to removal of all non-native deer.
A major premise of the report is that NPS must consider management of the non-native deer in perpetuity because eradication is impossible. Again, this alternative was discussed at length in the EIS. As explained in section 1 above, eradication is feasible. During 5 years of environmental analysis, NPS considered the option of retaining smaller populations of axis and fallow within the Seashore. This option is not desirable because it would, by necessity, require culling of thousands of deer over time, would result in ongoing damage to Seashore ecosystems and would negatively affect other Seashore priorities, such as endangered species management and ecosystem restoration. Importantly, preservation of non-native deer is inconsistent with the principles of native species protection for which the Seashore was established by Congress and the American people.

OverviewVigil Games was a game development studio based in Austin, Texas (USA). It was founded by comic artist Joe Madureira, David Adams, Marvin Donald and Ryan Stefanelli in 2005. The company was acquired by THQ Inc. in 2006.
Vigil's first release was the action hack-and-slash game Darksiders (2010). The sequel Darksiders II was released in 2012. The studio also contributed to Homefront (2011).
In December 2012 parent company THQ filed for Chapter 11. All of its studios and assets were up for sale, but Vigil was the only one that was not picked up and closed down when the auction ended on 22nd January 2013. Before its closure the studio had been working on Warhammer 40,000: Dark Millennium. Originally revealed in 2007, it was confirmed afterwards that development had been halted in March 2012. In a goodbye message on the website NeoGAF lead combat designer Ben Cureton revealed that the studio had been working on a project codenamed Crawler.
Following the closure, Atsushi Inaba, producer at Platinum Games, expressed an interest in acquiring the Darksiders franchise. On 28th January 2013 Crytek GmbH announced to open the new studio Crytek USA Corp., headed by Vigil co-founder David Adams and 35 Vigil developers, making it the spiritual continuation of Vigil, but without taking along the Darksiders franchise. When Crytek USA was downscaled at the end of July 2014 and its project HUNT: Horrors of the Gilded Age was moved to the Crytek Frankfurt studio, Adams quit and took along a core group of former Vigil Games developers to establish the independent studio Gunfire Games.

> This is just a really rough draft for now, but I'd appreciate > any help or ideas people had. In particular, I'm not entirely > confident about the EARL it produces. First off, the script is wonderful. The concept is good, and everything runs smoothly. Here are some general comments. * In the EARL output, you seem to have got something a bit switched:- <WebContent rdf:about="http://www.w3.org/"> <testSubject rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/#name"/> <date>2002-02-13</date> </WebContent> the rdf:resource URI-ref needs to go where the rdf:about attribute is, and vice versa. In fact, the hack of just adding the name to the end of a test subject is... somewhat horrific, and was just a "make-do" kinda thing in the ATR output. In fact, this breaks the EARL, because two resources with different date properties will have the same URI-ref. What you could do is something like the following:- <WebContent rdf:about="http://hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu/~nadiah/tester/ns#http%3A//www .w3.org/%20name%202002-02-13"> <testSubject rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/" /> <date>2002-02-13</date> </WebContent> it's not pretty, but it's fairly robust. Simply take URI+" "+name+" "+date, and URI quote it. Alternatively, you could just use short generated IDs, and keep track of them in a local database or something. * The predicates are wrong. In fact, EARL 0.95 only defines earl:passes, and earl:fails. If you want to use "NotTested" etc., you'll have to compose them in the following way:- <rdf:predicate rdf:parseType="Resource"> <rdf:type rdf:resource="[earl]ValidityProperty"/> <earl:validity rdf:resource="[earl]NotTested"/> <earl:confidence rdf:resource="[earl]High"/> </rdf:predicate> (don't forget to change [earl] to the EARL 0.95 namespace as appropriate!). This is a bug in the ATR output too. In fact, we'll probably be re-jigging this to some extent for EARL 1.0. * Perhaps you can use RDF for the test cases. Something like the following syntax (in Notation3 [1]) would be cool:- @prefix : <http://hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu/~nadiah/tester/ns#> . <http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/CSS1/current/test15.htm> :id "1.5" . <http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/CSS1/current/test16.htm> :id "1.6" . <http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/CSS1/current/test17.htm> :id "1.7" . * http://hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu/~nadiah/tester/css.txt#1.1 has a dubious fragment, although it doesn't concern me too much. * [pedantic-mode] The form uses GET, but the frames hide that, which is a shame. I don't think that's "fixable". Acutally, the form at the end uses POST, whereas a long GET may well be acceptable, given that the field names aren't all that long. If not, perhaps you could save the results temporarily to the server (like the W3C's RDF Validator does for the visual output), and give them a short ID. * Please make the source code for the client public if you can, and attach suitable licensing conditions MUTAT is a cool name for the tool, BTW, although it feels as if it needs an "N" added to it :-) [1] http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/Primer -- Kindest Regards, Sean B.

Sports broadcaster Setanta posts €750,000 loss
The Luxembourg-based unit of Irish sports broadcaster Setanta posted a €741,309 loss in 2011, according to accounts just filed in the duchy and seen by the Irish Independent.

This is interesting in many ways – the company is not profitable (though it is cash flow positive), and it's not well known, but it's in the search/advertising space, which is feeling overheated. Worth watching.

So when we lost our foster girl Rosie we decided to do a memory book of her. So I went to My Publisher and created a book, you are allowed to cancel an order only within the first hour of the order. Well I ended up canceling the book because I found a couple more pictures I wanted to use as well. So submitted my cancel request and got a confirmation on it. Then I few hours later I uploaded the new book layout to them. A couple days pass and I receive an email from My Publisher advising me there was an upload problem and to re-submit. So I did... Now if your following me on this so far a total of three orders were placed but only the finial one is valid. So, last Thursday in the mail I get a set of books (I ordered two of the same book) And low and behold it was of the one I canceled, so I sent them an email. Then the next day I receive the other two orders, one was the one that supposedly was never uploaded and the other was the valid one. Yes I now have 6 books when I'm only suppose to have 2. So I have no sent My Publisher at least a dozen emails telling them of their error and advising them that my account was charged for all three orders. I'm about to loose my mind, because these morons don't understand that they still need to issue me credit. I asked if someone can call me to discuss over the phone since clearly they don't get it and they responded "no we only handle questions over email" OMG I'm so freakin pissed off right now...
If I call my credit card company, will they stop that charge If I tell them it's not authorized?

You can do what is called a charge back. Then the credit card company will send them a letter telling them that the charges are not authorized. This will really mess with their books so you will get them twice!
I would call your company soon and get it reversed.

I just tried calling the credit card company and they had to transfer me to another department, then the phone got disconnected. I was on hold for 10 minutes...
Posted 18 July 2007 - 09:52 AM
Have you had any luck with this problem yet today? I cant believe they charged you for so many books!!
Posted 18 July 2007 - 09:57 AM
Well the last email I sent them yesterday I was very frustrated and mad, so the email I got back was that the guy would forward to his Manager. This morning I get an email from the Manager and she said she didn't know why I was charged for all three orders and will make sure two of the orders are credited and it should show up in a week. So I'll check next week to make sure it went through.
Posted 18 July 2007 - 10:05 AM
Wow, thats so much work to get a credit. Im glad that they are isuing it to you though. I cant believe they dont have a way to just call them and talk over the phone. It would have been a lot easier I am sure!
Posted 18 July 2007 - 10:09 AM
Oh good I am glad you got it fixed.

Just coming on here to get some opinions...
My guild is now 7/7 normal and looking to start on the HMs in Firelands (& also to keep working through the T11 Heroics that we haven't done yet)
Our healing setup is Holy Pala, Resto Druid & Holy Priest but it feels more and more as though shields/barrier might do more for us - i.e. we're considering getting our priest to spec Disc. Her having 2 healing specs isn't really viable, however, as for many reasons her Shadow Spec isn't something we/she would like to lose.
So... If she went disc would this cause us issues anywhere? Our resto druid is decent and is pushing very decent numbers on all fights, but I still do have concerns about losing the extra throughput (& Lightwell <3 <3 <3).
So, to those of you with the same 3 classes of healers as us, what do you do?

It's funny to be posting another granola recipe when a granola was my first post ever! This is basically the same recipe but with two notable differences: different add ins and it only yields half as much. I like my granola really fresh, and when it's so easy to make, why not just make smaller batches more often?
My grocery store recently re-added a bulk section which is so perfect for recipes like this. Now I just just buy 1 cup at a time, instead of ending up with a giant supply of dried fruit that I would never use! I picked cherries and pecans just because those are two of my favourite add ins, but as I was digging the vanilla out of my spices, I looked longingly at the pumpkin pie spice. Another time!
Cherry Pecan Granola
- 1 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes (or unsweetened shredded coconut)
- 1 cup pecan pieces
- 1/4 cup flax seeds
- 1 cup dried cherries
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 350. Mix the oats, coconut, peans and flax seeds in a large bowl. Melt the butter and add the maple syrup, vanilla and salt to it.
Put the oat mixture into a large glass baking dish – I used a lasagna dish. Pour the melted butter mixture over and mix well. Place in the preheated oven, and bake for 7 minutes, then stir. Bake for 8 minutes, then stir and add any fruit mix ins – cherries, apples or raisins. This stops the fruit from getting too dry. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, then remove from the oven, stir and let cool.
Store in an airtight container for up to a week.

Discussion in 'Steelhead' started by tyeoneon, Nov 27, 2012.
Coming from you Charles I'll call it a compliment, see all a matter of perspective.
The "roping chromers" bit is a gem I am probably going to carry with me for the rest of my life..
Thats a first, a bead guy refering to himself as a purist
Shouldn't I get a "like" for a compliment?
I mispelled sensitive though. Weak on my part. I can't even claim I was drinking 'cuz I've been sick and not drinking.
Go Sox,
This Dustin Chromers character. And really, I think it is a character, is genius. It wouldn't surprise me if he has never used beads in his life. Just someone trying to yank some chains. If so, he obviously did a great job. And at the same time, being hilarious.
Then again. I could be completely wrong. But, I think many of you fell for it.
At least I got some great catch phrases to use next time I'm on the river.
i bought heavi-beads on saturday at 3rivers only because of this thread. Unfortunately i didnt rope any chromers on sunday. just a coho
Done and done!
Oh for hell sakes, that is just pathetic!
This is funny, all the fuss about these beads.
I've been getting mine for years at craft stores..
Yep and the vise you can buy at Harbor freight for only 2.99
As with all holes, they can be made larger, best to start small and slowly work itto the right size.
Thats what she said, hehe sorry had to say it.
They will break right off
I suggest cutting a candy necklace and using the 'beads' from that. That way they can melt into the current and 'milk' a scent trail...
I've never fished a bead by itself. However, I have put a bead on as part of an egg sucking or egg pooping leech. Can't tell you if the fish like the addition or not. But, the beads do have a bit of weight, so it is something to use when you need something more than nothing and less than dumb bells..
Also. A smaller egg is perfect as a way to prop up materials in an intruder style. As opposed to a dubbing ball. Serves multiple purposes.

eculizumab (Intravenous route)
Meningococcal infections, which may rapidly become life-threatening or fatal if not recognized and treated early, have been reported in patients treated with eculizumab. Comply with the most current Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommendations for meningococcal vaccination in patients with complement deficiencies. Immunize patients with a meningococcal vaccine at least 2 weeks prior to administering the first dose of eculizumab, unless the risks of delaying eculizumab therapy outweigh the risk of developing a meningococcal infection. Monitor patients for early signs of meningococcal infections and evaluate immediately if infection is suspected. Eculizumab is available only through a restricted program under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS). Under the eculizumab REMS prescribers must enroll in the program. Enrollment in the eculizumab REMS program and additional information are available by telephone: 1-888-SOLIRIS (1-888-765-4747) or at solirisrems.com .
Commonly used brand name(s)
In the U.S.
- Soliris
Available Dosage Forms:
- Solution
Therapeutic Class: Blood Modifier Agent
Pharmacologic Class: Monoclonal Antibody
Uses For eculizumab
Eculizumab injection is used to treat a type of blood disease called paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). eculizumab helps reduce red blood cell destruction or breakdown (hemolysis) in patients with PNH.
eculizumab is also used to treat a serious kidney disorder called atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS).
Eculizumab injection is also used to treat a nerve and muscle disease called generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) in patients who are anti-acetylcholine receptor (AchR) antibody positive.
Eculizumab injection is a monoclonal antibody that works on the immune system.
eculizumab is available only under a restricted distribution program called Soliris® REMS (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy) Program.
Before Using eculizumab
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For eculizumab, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to eculizumab or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated pediatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of eculizumab injection to treat atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome in children. However, safety and efficacy of eculizumab injection to treat paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria and generalized myasthenia gravis have not been established in children.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of eculizumab injection in the elderly.
Breast Feeding
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
Interactions with Medicines
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. Tell your healthcare professional if you are taking any other prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicine.
Interactions with Food/Tobacco/Alcohol
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
Other Medical Problems
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of eculizumab. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
- Infection—Use with caution. eculizumab may decrease your body's ability to fight infection.
- Meningococcal infection—Should not be given to patients with this condition.
- No current vaccination against meningitis infection—Should not be given to patients with this condition unless the doctor decides that urgent treatment is needed.
- Neutropenia (low white blood cells) or
- Weak immune system—Use with caution. May cause side effects to become worse and increase risks for infection.
Proper Use of eculizumab
A nurse or other trained health professional will give you eculizumab. eculizumab is given through a needle placed into one of your veins. It must be injected slowly, so your IV tube will need to stay in place for at least 35 minutes.
It is very important that you understand the requirements of the Soliris® REMS program, and become familiar with the Soliris® medication guide. Read and follow these instructions carefully. Ask your doctor if you have any questions. Ask your pharmacist for the medication guide if you do not have one.
Precautions While Using eculizumab
It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to make sure that eculizumab is working properly. Blood and urine tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.
Eculizumab may increase your chance of having serious infections, including a meningococcal infection. Avoid people who are sick or have infections. Tell your doctor right away if you develop headaches, nausea, vomiting, fever, a stiff neck or back, a rash, confusion, muscle aches, or if your eyes have become sensitive to light. Make sure you have received a vaccine to prevent meningococcus infections at least two weeks before you receive eculizumab. If you have already received the meningococcal vaccine in the past, your doctor will decide if you need another dose.
Ask your doctor for a patient safety card. This card will list the symptoms of meningococcus infections and what to do if you have them. Carry the card with you at all times during treatment and for 3 months after your last dose. You will need to show the card to any doctor who treats you.
For patients with PNH: When eculizumab is stopped you could have red blood cell destruction or breakdown (hemolysis). Your doctor will need to monitor you closely for at least 8 weeks after you stop using eculizumab. Be sure to keep all appointments.
For patients with aHUS: Your doctor may also need to check for blood clots in your small blood vessels, called thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) for at least 12 weeks after stopping treatment with eculizumab. The signs and symptoms of TMA include chest pain, difficulty with breathing, mental depression or anxiety, or seizures. Call your doctor right away if you notice any of these signs and symptoms.
Eculizumab may cause infusion-related reactions. These can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention. Tell your doctor right away if you start to have a fever, chills or shaking, dizziness, trouble breathing, itching or rash, lightheadedness or fainting after receiving eculizumab.
eculizumab Side Effects

The Commons Public Accounts Committee said HMRC was set to achieve less than half the projected savings from reducing fraud and error in the payment of tax credits.
The 2010 spending review set HMRC a target of saving £8 billion by 2015, but the committee said that it now estimated it would miss its goal by £5 billion.
In 2010/11 alone, it lost £2.3 billion due to error and fraud - £850 million more than expected - with one-in-five awards of tax credits thought to have resulted in the claimants being overpaid. The following year it wrote off £1.7 billion in tax credit debts as uncollectable.
Although the committee said that HMRC had massively increased the numbers of checks it carried on individuals from 123,000 to almost 2 million, it had only resulted in a doubling of the money saved.
"HMRC needs a better understanding of its performance as it hugely overestimated its progress in tackling error and fraud," the committee said. "HMRC needs to make more effective use of available data to prevent and detect errors and fraud."
An HMRC spokesman said: "In the last four years we have boosted our targeted checks on tax credit claims 10 times over, more than doubling the money protected, saving £390 million in three key risk areas alone.
"Work with the private sector has improved the data we use to make sure claimants' information is accurate and fraudulent claims identified. We are also getting tougher with claimants about the proof they need to support their claims, for example on childcare costs and on school leavers. From 2014 the new Real Time Information system will provide accurate and up-to-date information for tax credit claims, significantly reducing fraud and error. We will continue to improve the service and quality of information we provide, while clamping down on the minority who seek to abuse the rules."
A Treasury source added: "Gordon Brown created this system. We are clearing up his mess. Labour cut the number of people in HMRC tackling fraud and error - the coalition is increasing them."

So it's Argentina versus Germany in the final. I'll naturally defer to Paul handicapping how the two teams match up on the field in the conventional way, but if we consider the matter theologically, Germany has to be favored for a simple reason: The retired German Pope (Benedict) is philosophically and theologically superior to Pope Francis. While you'd think God would be neutral between his two living Popes, I say no.

According to the findings of Beyond3D , Sony's PSP now comes with a interesting choice, either you have a CPU clocked at 333MHz and your Wi-Fi disabled, or you want your Wi-Fi to work and then be limited to 222MHz CPU clock.
As you may all know, PSP was limited to 222MHz CPU clock and 111MHz bus clock. With the 3.5 Firmware update CPU clock got boosted at full 333MHz, while bus speed ended at 166MHz. Apparently you only get full 333MHz when your Wi-Fi is disabled. That means, if you do network play CPU clock goes back down to 222MHz.
This limits the game development, as the games with network play are limited to 222MHz. I doubt that any developer will bother to make one engine for single player and then downgrade it for the network play and 222MHz. Anyhow, single player games can still benefit from the 333MHz CPU clock.
The main conclusion of the entire web is that this was done to preserve battery life, 333MHz and Wi-Fi is just bad for PSP's "little" battery.

Web musings: Did Dodgers try to land Zack Greinke just before he was traded to Brewers?
Baseball maxim: You can never have enough pitching.
Of course, what that really means is: You can never have enough good pitching.
The Dodgers had plenty of pitching in 2010 -- 21 different pitchers found their way to the mound for L.A. -- it's just that all that came to was a 4.01 team ERA.
So this off-season General Manager Ned Colletti worked quickly not only to put together a rotation, he actually has six starters with Vicente Padilla -- last year's opening-day starter -- now in the swing role.
But that doesn't mean the rotation couldn't be upgraded, and apparently Colletti was still working on that possibility into the weekend.
The Dodgers reportedly had not given up on the possibility of trading for Kansas City ace Zach Greinke, and according to a tweet from Yahoo.com's Tim Brown, had drawn a third team into discussions in an attempt to satisfy the Royals' demands.
It evidently came too late, with the Royals ultimately dealing Greinke to the Brewers for top prospects -- of which the Dodgers are in short supply.
That's good news for ex-Dodger Ron Roenicke as he begins his first season as Milwaukee's manager, but a missed opportunity for the Dodgers at obtaining a proven ace.
TrueBlueLA.com's Phil Gurnee looks at what it might have taken for the Dodgers to match the trade to Milwaukee. Straight up, it would have been near impossible.
That other Dodgers' deal with Milwaukee that apparently ended up only a rumor -- trading for first baseman Prince Fielder -- may have affected the deal. Greinke told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel that he took the Brewers off his no-trade list when they elected not to trade Fielder.
Also on the Web:
-- SportsIllustrated.com's Tim Marchman looks at Russell Martin's fall from grace in Los Angeles. He writes off part of it as simply failing to live up to high expectations, but still figures Martin's numbers as pretty decent for a catcher.
-- Try to contain your enthusiasm: Dodgers.com Ken Gurnick writes that the three free agents the Dodgers are currently in contact with to play left field are Jerry Hairston, Scott Hairston and Marcus Thames.
-- MikeSciosciasTragicIllness.com's Mike Petriello suggests another outfielder for the Dodgers to consider for their opening in left field, Mike Morse of the Nationals. Morse figures to be squeezed out by Washington's signing of Jayson Werth.
-- ESPN/LA.com's Jon Weisman estimates that the Dodgers' current payroll for 2010 -- including deferred salaries -- is approaching $110 million.
-- Steve Dilbeck

I wish I had bought it much earlier but just didn't see the attraction during the beta. I thought it was too hard to kill people but leveling up the guns and scope changed that.

Historic Jenkins building burns
Underdogs Bar & Grill in Jenkins sustained heavy damage in a Sunday, Aug. 10, fire.
The Pequot Lakes Fire Department responded to the call at 10:58 p.m. and requested mutual aid from Nisswa and Pine River fire departments. Fire crews cleared the scene after 1 a.m. the next morning. Though the building shows little damage from the exterior, interior damage is extensive.
"Most of the inside is pretty well burned up. The structure has a couple holes towards the roof. The fire did get up into the attic. It took us a while to get that out," Pequot Lakes Fire Chief Tom Nelson said.
After preliminary discussions with his insurance company, business owner Bill Moen said the building is a loss.
"It's totalled. There's no repairing it," Moen said.
Nelson said nobody was in the building when the fire started, and nobody was injured. He didn't declare a cause for the fire.
"There are too many variables. It's not looking suspicious, but as far as the actual cause, it's still undetermined. We're working with the fire marshal's office on that," Nelson said.
Moen said the building was home to approximately 100 years of Jenkins history. He said during its lifetime it has been a municipal liquor store, post office and church. The building has seen many renovations, which might make investigation into a possible electrical source for the fire difficult.
"With all the different electrical stuff going on it's going to be hard to pinpoint an actual cause," Nelson said.
The future of Underdogs is uncertain. Moen said he is waiting on his insurance company to decide whether to rebuild, relocate or close.
"I'm keeping everything open. Right now I'm kind of numb. I don't know what I'm thinking for sure. Everything's spinning through my head 100 miles per hour right now," Moen said.
Moen also said he may be limited by the amount his insurance is willing to pay for the building.
"I don't have a ton of insurance because with a building so old it's only worth so much," he said.
Moen said he has gotten an immediate response from the local community.
"I've just had a lot of support from the community calling. That's always nice. It's always very, very nice when people stop in and show a little support. It made my day a little better anyhow," he said.
Mark Germain of the State Fire Marshal's Office began investigation of the structure on Monday, Aug. 11. Nelson said additional investigation into electrical utilities could hinge on decisions made by Moen's insurance company. Moen has owned the business for approximately 10 years and said it was known for quality, affordable food.

FREMONT — With most votes counted, a newcomer and an incumbent were leading the race to fill two Fremont City Council seats.
Vinnie Bacon, an Oakland law firm's chief technology officer, was leading with 25.5 percent of the vote, while Councilwoman Sue Chan was second with 23 percent.
The top two vote-getters win the election.
John J. Dutra, co-owner of a land-development company, was third with 18.27 percent of the vote; and former Fremont police Officer Rick Jones narrowly trailed with 18.21 percent.
Rakesh Sharma, a retired medical research scientist, was fifth with 11.5 percent; and Mark Wadley, a surgical technologist, was running last with nearly 3.8 percent of the vote.
Chan, first elected to the council in 2008, is trying to retain her seat. The race's five newcomers are vying either to capture Chan's seat or the one vacated by Councilman Dominic Dutra, who chose not to run.
Fremont is attempting to bolster its tax revenue coffers by developing a pair of ambitious transit-oriented plans. Some candidates have favored the 110-acre project in the city center, while others preferred to focus on an 850-acre parcel situated five miles south, around the Warm Springs BART station scheduled to open in 2015.

Muslim woman gives 'triple talaq' to her 'abusive' husband in MeerutIn an interesting development, a Muslim woman in Meerut divorced her abusive husband using "triple talaq" which is reserved for men to divorce their wives.
In an interesting development, a Muslim woman in Meerut divorced her abusive husband using "triple talaq" which is reserved for men to divorce their wives.
24-year-old Amreen Bano pronounced -taalq, talaq, talaq - to divorce her husband in front of media persons at the office of inspector general (IG), Meerut zone, Ajay Anand on Wednesday.
Amreen, resident of Narheda village in Uttar Pradesh's Kharkhauda, had married Sabir of Ladpura village on March 28, 2012.
On the same day, her sister Farheen had married Sabir's brother, Shakir.
Both the sisters claimed that they were tortured by their husbands for dowry.
In September last year, Farheen was given talaq by her husband after a minor fight.
According to Amreen, she was subjected to harsher torture after Farheen was divorced.
"One day, they tried to burn me by throwing kerosene oil on me. I was saved by the neighbours," Amreen told media persons.
Amreen said that she also approached police but was could not get any help.
After that, she came to IG office with Hindu Mahasabha activists on Wednesday.
"My husband does not say anything. He does not give money to me, my kids or my nephew, nieces. I want them sent to jail. I have given triple talaq to him. If a man can divorce and woman, she should be allowed to do the same," she said.
The IG reportedly gave her a patient hearing and promised help but the two sisters were not satisfied and said that they will meet Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to seek justice.

My concern isn't people moving, there may be some of those but I'm not one of them. Any cost savings I might hypothetically get from moving to another platform would be wiped out by several orders of magnitude on the cost of the port. I'm also not at all convinced another platform would actually be cheaper looking at the whole picture. I'm just depressed that the margins on my business have gotten that much thinner.
What I am highly concerned about is the message this sends to new customers. I don't know, maybe that's not valid, it is beta after all. I think I'm moving to step 5.

The owners of the residence and their insurer allege in their $3.8-million lawsuit that L'Isle-Verte made numerous mistakes that "resulted in a human catastrophe that could have been avoided or at least been of lesser magnitude."
The lawsuit filed Wednesday in Quebec Superior Court alleges the town failed to implement emergency plans to cope with such a disaster.
It said the failure of town officials to prepare for such a catastrophe showed a "reckless disregard for the lives of others, particularly the elderly in the Residence du Havre."
Roch Bernier and Irene Plante, owners of the facility, argue they had been asking the town to devise contingency plans for five years.
"This lack of planning...meant that municipal employees improvised... and made serious mistakes," the lawsuit said.
Many of the residents at the Residence du Havre could not move without assistance, while others fled into freezing temperatures to escape the inferno.
The lawsuit alleges one firetruck arrived at the scene of the blaze within 15 minutes and that several additional minutes passed before another pulled up. It argues the numbers were also insufficient.
The suit says the fire trucks were not equipped with appropriate ladders to rescue people in the seniors' home and that the town's volunteer firefighters did not have the proper equipment to provide emergency care.
The document also alleges that tensions between the fire departments in L'Isle-Verte and nearby Riviere-du-Loup, which was better equipped for the situation, contributed to the lack of planning.
The amount of the lawsuit includes the cost of damage to the building and the mortgage as well as compensation for physical and psychological problems.
The plaintiffs say the disaster has left deep physical and psychological scars that are still being felt six months later.
Bernier and Plante say their health issues include post-traumatic stress, sleep disorders and a sense of helplessness.
The 52-room residence was partially equipped with a sprinkler system, which was mainly in a section of the building that was untouched by flames.
Quebec provincial police have not determined a cause for the fire.
Guy Bertrand, lawyer for Bernier and Plante, would not comment on the lawsuit. Officials in L'Isle-Verte did not return calls asking for comment.

Boston-based band Quilt had their coming out party this week, releasing their debut self-titled album (via Mexican Summer) and playing a celebratory show at Brooklyn's Glasslands. But you'd hardly know it by searching the internet. In an era where buzz bands can barely get takeout burgers without making a video diary, Quilt seem to have little more than a MySpace, a sparse BandCamp page and some sporadic profiles that call them hippies. This may just mean Quilt has chosen an ungoogleable name and shied away from the PR-hype machine, but the low profile feels at least in part a testament to the values and vibes of Shane Butler and his bandmates.
The hippie label suits them at first glance, but it also shortchanges the band. Quilt's jams are musically varied and nuanced, traveling from psych-rock to bluegrass to indie-pop to more hymn-like structures, often within the course of a single song. Tracks still manage to feel particularly developed, ambitious and often grandiose. In a song like "Cowboys In The Void," when Wilson lets out a stirring yell, it doesn't come off written or generated—it feels like he was quite possibly that worked up. And why not?
The band met in Boston at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts. According to the band's bio, Wilson grew up in a, "spiritual community with a lot of musical chanting," while other original core member Anna Fox Rochinski has a more classical background, "in choirs that had a lot of crazy harmonies." A classical approach to music and an appreciation for the age-old practice of chant and melody with a slight lean toward the weird and experimental seem to provide a perfectly logical background for these songs. This mix, while unorthodox, seems just the thing that allows all the complex floating between styles they do to seem as happy and careless as we'd like it to be.

City officials were concerned about the possibility of tampering with effluent samples at the Mendenhall wastewater treatment plant in 1998, City Manager Dave Palmer said today.
As a result, the city changed to a new procedure for taking samples at the end of that year, he said.
The new procedure came after the time period in which wastewater utility superintendent Andrew Bronson allegedly diluted two samples used to check compliance with the Clean Water Act. Indicted by a federal grand jury in Anchorage earlier this month, Bronson faces two felony counts from the alleged incidents in September and October of 1998.
Palmer said that earlier, in the summer of 1998, the issue of potential tampering "had come up, unrelated to Bronson."
He said he couldn't comment further because of laws guaranteeing confidentiality in personnel matters. But the sample in question was taken as part of a daily "process control" routine at the plant and was not going to be submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for compliance verification.
Nevertheless, "In that case, I called EPA and let them know what was going on," Palmer said. The municipal government and the federal agency have been talking ever since, he said.
The city instituted its new procedure in December 1998 or January 1999, Palmer said.
The laboratory at the Mendenhall plant was shut down and all of the sampling analysis was contracted out to Analytica Alaska, a private firm that had been doing some of it, Palmer said. Since then, samples have been collected by two city employees who are videotaped while doing it, he said. The employees, neither of them Bronson, jointly take the samples to the private lab, he said.
"What I want folks to understand is whatever happened back then can't happen now," Palmer said.
The Juneau Assembly has agreed in principle to pay Bronson's legal bills. According to members of the assembly, surveillance video that was not taken by the city is part of the evidence against him. The source of the video has not been disclosed.
Meanwhile, the city is facing a $60,000 fine from the EPA for apparently unrelated violations of the Clean Water Act in 1999. Palmer says Analytica made a mistake in analyzing samples from the Mendenhall plant that figured in EPA's pending enforcement action, although so far that has been denied by the lab manager, Dave Wetzel.

Woman Falls Overboard From Cruise Ship
PENSACOLA, Fla. -- The coast guard is searching the Gulf of Mexico for a woman who fell overboard from a cruise ship near Pensacola.
The 50-year-old woman fell off the Carnival Holiday just after midnight Tuesday about 75 miles southwest of Pensacola.
"Woke up, the alarms were going off and she wasn't in the room, so the first thing that comes into my head was, 'Aw man was it her?'" said Erik Vilborg, missing passenger's son.
A passenger reported hearing a splash in the water, prompting a cabin-by-cabin search. The coast guard is scouring the area by air and water.
The woman's disappearance marks at least the third time in less than one month a passenger has gone overboard
It seems a lot of people have fallen overboard on these ship, you would think something would have been done by now, Plexiglas or something.
This story has always haunted me-
for some reason it just seemed so weird.....Was he pushed, did he fall.? Guess I'm a sucker for mystery.
Maybe they need to limit the drinking of the passengers. If you were at a bar they would not let you drive home. Maybe they need to escort people back to their rooms.
LOL - I was going to say, one too many? I have fallen off many a barstool back in the day, LOL
Quoting tabtabmom:
Maybe they need to limit the drinking of the passengers. If you were at a bar they would not let you drive home. Maybe they need to escort people back to their rooms.
Quoting tabtabmom:

back to their rooms were the balconies are where these people are falling from...
I have been hearing this a lot too, as well as many other horrible things on cruise ships. My husband has been wanting us to go on one but I have my reservations about them.
Mrs. Khan
My 2 sisters invited me on a cruise to Alaska 4 yrs. ago. 1 of the most memorable times in my life. Following my return home from the cruise...I heard stories on the Nat'l news of ppl. falling oveboard. It is very easy to do this. During the day the deck is fairly crowded w/ passengers taking pictures of the beautiful sights as the ship passes by + there are many small eateries on the deck to take advantage of including a swimming pool to relax in. In my case there were glaciers & gorgeous landscapes of mountains reflecting snow covered tops + many of the passengers have their own personal balcony. 1 of my sisters & I shared a room * we had a beautiful balcony attached to our room. Very easy to fall off of. Yes, there are guard rails attached & the deck offers the same protection but if someone is drinking or careless....easy to fall over into the ocean. The ship is moving fast against the waves & by the time the authorities are alerted....too late. The ocean is massive & the waves are constantly flowing! You need to be very careful & behave w/ responsibility~
I took this picture from my balcony following the sunset.....
The Moon Blanketing the Pacific Waters
Sadly if you fall over your chances of recovery are next to nothin'. I am sincerely sorry for this woman & her family. It seems that every summer someone is lost @ sea due to 1 of these cruises! As you can see the ocean is vast & very deep. This is 1 of the cruise ships near the 1 I was on readily docking on shore @ the port of Juneau, Alaska. The waters are massively deep further out!
This is the infamous case in the news back in 2005 which took place shortly when I returned home from my cruise~
