Do you know about the drugs your pet will get? Does your vet use drugs in ways unapproved by the Food and Drug Administration? You may be surprised by the answer.
Veterinarians commonly administer or prescribe drugs "extra-label," or in ways unapproved by the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM), to treat a variety of conditions and diseases. The FDA, the government agency responsible for overseeing drug safety, allows the widespread practice because it does not want to interfere with medical decision-making. Indeed, the extra-label use of drugs has saved the lives of many pets, particularly when there are no alternatives for treatment of severe and chronic illnesses.
While vets are allowed to use drugs in ways beyond what's listed on their FDA approved labels, drug companies and their representatives cannot promote or recommend such use.
New drugs must undergo rigorous clinical trials to prove they're safe before the FDA will approve them. The agency bans drug manufacturers from promoting or recommending drugs to vets for any use not on their FDA approved labels to keep companies from skirting requirements to test the drugs' safety and efficiency before they go to market.
So how do veterinarians get extra-label information to use on our pets? One way is through Continuing Medical Education (CME) seminars - oftentimes sponsored and paid for by drug companies.
"In general, the FDA does not intend to interfere with…continuing medical education of veterinary practitioners," said Linda Grassie, communications director at the FDA. "However," she added, "continuing medical education events are frequently paid for by drug sponsors."
And when drug sponsors promote their products in ways unapproved by the FDA, "this tends to violate the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act," said Grassie.
Veterinarians at the Sylvania Veterinary Hospital, on Holland-Sylvania Road, say they learned about the unapproved uses of Domitor (medetomidine), a potent sedative for dogs, at CME seminars sponsored by Pfizer, which manufactures the drug.
The hospital routinely uses Domitor on dogs after surgery, a use unapproved by the FDA.
Domitor, according to its label, can be used in dogs undergoing short procedures, such as teeth cleaning and minor surgeries not requiring muscle relaxation.
Robert Esplin and Ross Mahowald, veterinarians at Sylvania Veterinary Hospital, said using Domitor on dogs after surgery was discussed at seminars funded by the drug giant as part of Pfizer's DALE (Domitor Antisedan Local Expert) program.
"We had very limited material on Domitor before I went to the seminar," Mahowald said. "We discussed how Domitor was used, different methods, and how it is used in different species."
Mahowald was among 400 veterinarians invited by Pfizer to go on two all-expense paid trips to Chicago to attend the seminars, said Esplin, who occasionally appears on Channel 13's "Ask the Expert," segment and "Ask Dr. Bob" on radio station Star 105 FM. Pfizer chooses vets already using the drug at a "high rate" to participate in the DALE program, according to Pfizer. Following the seminars, Mahowald signed a contract with Pfizer to hold seminars for area veterinarians to discuss the "new uses" of Domitor. Pfizer pays Mahowald and other "DALEs" for each seminar they hold.
Pfizer's agent
S. Kristina Wahlstrom, DVM, MS, group director, U.S. Companion Animal Veterinary Operations for Pfizer, said the company does not recommend or promote unapproved uses of Domitor at DALE seminars because it would violate FDA rules and regulations.
She agreed veterinarians in the DALE program sign contracts to be "agents" of the drug company upon completion of the seminars, but "they are under the same regulations we are, in that they cannot promote the extra-label use of Domitor."
DALEs can tell other vets about Domitor's unapproved uses, but only if they are asked, per FDA regulations, she said.
"If someone asks them about an extra-label use, they have to tell the vet that what they're considering doing with the drug is extra-label," she said. "The DALE can then give the vet the information, if they have it, on the specific extra-label use. DALEs then have to remind the vet again that it is an extra-label use."
Robert Fauteux, public relations representative at Pfizer, said DALEs, as agents of Pfizer, are "obligated to comply with the regulations that govern Pfizer employees."
But Mahowald called such regulations "a matter of semantics."
"I believe discussion is the same as recommendation," said Mahowald. "When I signed the contract, I am acting as a representative of Pfizer and I am able to discuss off-label use with other vets."
Barry Poole, of the FDA, said drug companies, and their representatives, cannot recommend or promote drugs for unapproved uses "either in writing or by word of mouth."
"You can't recommend off-label," he said. "That is promoting. That's what the law says."
Pfizer pays for the travel, lodging and meals of veterinarians who attend DALE seminars. Additionally, the company pays vets $500 in honoraria to compensate for their time, said Fauteux.
When drug companies promote or recommend the unapproved uses of drugs, the FDA is concerned about safety, said Grassie.
"We do not have evidence of the safety and effectiveness of the drug for the unapproved indication," she said. Promoting unapproved uses of drugs "may mislead a medical or veterinary practitioner to use a product inappropriately."
Clinical trials of Domitor, approved by the FDA in 1996, concluded the sedative is mostly safe and effective so long as it's used "according to the label."
Domitor, according to its label, should not be used in dogs with underlying health conditions, including liver, heart and kidney disease, respiratory disorders, fatigue, dogs that are in shock, or are severely debilitated. Special care is recommended when treating very young animals, debilitated older animals, coughing dogs, or dogs in poor general condition.
Sylvania Veterinary Hospital, which claims to be the only facility in northwest Ohio that offers round the clock care, routinely uses Domitor on dogs after surgery to keep them sedated and quiet – a use unapproved by the FDA and not included on the drug's label.
Facts on label
Some experts say it's important for vets to follow the label when using drugs.
The label "is the first source of important facts for veterinarians," Dr. Victoria Hampshire, former adverse drug events coordinator in the office of Surveillance and Compliance in the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine, said in a Jan. 15, 2004 article in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association (JAVMA).
"The label is the result of considerable scientific regulatory review before CVM approves the drug," said Hampshire, whose investigation of ProHeart6, a long-term heartworm medication for dogs that reportedly caused injury and death to thousands, helped pull it off the market.
"Product precautions, contraindications, safety information, and warnings should identify animal patients that are not good candidates for the medication," she said.
Pfizer's Wahlstrom, though, said it should be left up to the discretion of veterinarians to decide how a drug is used.
The drug industry for years has been under fire for illegally promoting unapproved uses of drugs to humans, which reportedly expands their profit margin.
Promotional activities of drug companies and others are substantially motivated by profit and market expansion, William B. Schultz, former deputy commissioner for policy and drug administration in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, said before a Senate committee in 1996.
If drug companies were allowed to freely promote the unapproved uses of drugs, "there would be no incentive to conduct or fund the necessary scientific research and to present data to the FDA to verify" their safety and efficacy, said Schultz.
The FDA can take a number of enforcement actions against drug companies and their representatives for promoting or recommending the unapproved uses of drugs, ranging from sending a warning letter, to injunctions, and even criminal prosecution, according to Grassie.
Esplin and Mahowald still support the DALE program and will continue to routinely use Domitor on dogs after surgery. Mahowald's contract with Pfizer has expired, though he said he would not hesitate to hold future seminars on Domitor.
Using Domitor in ways unapproved by the FDA "allows us the flexibility to include the drug in multiple protocols," Mahowald said.
Esplin agreed. "I have used it enough that I am comfortable and confident to use it in a lot of scenarios."
The Sylvania Veterinary Hospital promotes Mahowald as a DALE on its website, and touts the "several new ways we will be able to use Domitor" on pets.
"We have used this drug for many years," says the website. Mahowald, described as "a local expert" on the use of Domitor, "will be conducting several seminars for other local veterinarians and their staff."
Since becoming a DALE, Mahowald has yet to hold a seminar, but held a lecture for the Sylvania Veterinary Hospital's staff concerning the "new uses" of the drug.
Pfizer awarded four veterinarians with trips to Hawaii in May, 2004, to attend a national dermatology conference. A veterinarian at Sylvania Veterinary Hospital was among the winners, according to the facility's website.

PALO ALTO, Calif. - On Saturday evening, Lindsay Donaldson finished 20th in the 5,000-meter run among some of the fastest collegiate distance runners in the country at the Stanford Invitational at Cobb Track and Angell Field. Despite a tumble that involved other competitors, she still managed to finish with an NCAA qualifying time of 16:27.29.
"Bruised and bleeding from a near catastrophic multi-runner pile-up in the first mile of the elite women's 5,000-meter run at the Stanford Invitational, Lindsay Donaldson climbed out from under a stack of fallen runners to work her way back into the race and post an NCAA qualifying time of 16:27.29. Prior to the fall, Donaldson had executed her race plan to near perfection, easily holding 5:10 mile pace with her signature long stride while running mid-pack with the finest collegiate distance runners in America. After the fall, Lindsay was pure grit and gristle, fighting pain and fatigue as she climbed back into the race and posted the eighth fastest time ever by a Yale woman." (courtesy of West Coast Bureau, Yale Track Association)
Donaldson still holds the third fastest time in school history behind the O'Neill twins at a time of 16:12.83.

- Rivaldo is widely considered to be one of the finest players in the modern history of the game. He played in the area between attacking midfielder and deep-lying forward but he was more scorer or assister than creator. Rivaldo could dribble, shoot and pass with the best of them. Especially, his shooting was a combination of superb power and precision. The best highlight of his club career was in 2001. In the last game of the season, against Valencia, Rivaldo scored a hat-trick to win the game 3-2. His third goal was a bicycle kick from the edge of the area in the 90th minute of the game, which is regarded as one of the greatest goals ever in a combination of importance and skill. The win secured Barcelona a place in the following UEFA Champions League tournament.
The Zenith of his national team career came at the 2002 FIFA World Cup, hosted in South Korea and Japan. He scored in the first five games for Brazil. Brazilian striker Ronaldo had done so for four matches, allowing journalists to question whether there was any rivalry between the two athletes. Rivaldo denied this, insisting that all he wanted was to be the world champion. His spectacular goal against Belgium in the second round prompted Belgian coach Robert Waseige to name Rivaldo as the deciding factor. Brazilian midfielder Ronaldinho helped Rivaldo score a crucial goal in the 2-1 win over England in the quarterfinals. Brazil eventually met Germany in the final, and went on to win the tournament with a 2-0 victory in the final. Both Ronaldo goals came from trademark Rivaldo plays, as both Rivaldo and Brazil made amends for the 1998 FIFA World Cup Final loss to France. Rivaldo was named by coach Luiz Felipe Scolari as the best player of the tournament.

William MacLaren founded the Portland Commons Mission for Homeless Men and Returning Prisoners, the name was later changed to the Pacific Coast Rescue and Protective Society. In 1908, the Portland Commons bought the Louise house to serve women and children as well, beginning the shift toward providing care for mothers and babies.
Alexander Kerr married Albertina Sechtem in 1910. A strong advocate for helping the city's many homeless children, she died suddenly of typhus in 1911. After her death, Alexander gave the Society their family home in Northwest Portland to be used as a nursery in her honor. The Albertina Kerr Nursery Home provides adoption services and day-care for children of single mothers.
Due to increasing need, larger quarters for the Louise Home are found on nine acres of farm and forest on what is now NE 162nd. Over the years, a new Louise Home is built and additional buildings are added to support different types of services. The Wynne Watts School (named for a former medical director) opened on this campus in 1938 and operates as a school today.
The original Kerr nursery soon ran out of room and, following a fundraising campaign by Alexander's third wife, Ruth Kerr, and Margaret Bondurant, a new nursery was built on this site in 1921. The building operated as an adoption home until 1967, when services moved towards foster homes and community-based care.
In 1940, the Louise Home and the Albertina Kerr Nursery incorporated under the name of Albertina Kerr Homes. With fundraising help from the community in 1956, Kerr built cottages on the campus to offer safe residential treatment to young children.
Albertina Kerr began an innovative "continuum of care" program for children with mental health challenges, creating residential and outpatient psychiatric treatment services for children, and counseling for their families. Foster care families were recruited and trained to provide care for children with special needs. The Albertina Kerr Nursery building closed for renovation in 1967.
Toward the end of this era, Salem's Fairview Training Center, the state-run institution for people with developmental disabilities, began making plans to move its residents to community-based homes. Albertina Kerr later stepped in and began programs for individuals with developmental disabilities, opening the Kerr Center for Handicapped Children on the Marylhurst campus.
As the state of Oregon takes steps towards closure of Fairview, Albertina Kerr opened neighborhood group homes for individuals with developmental disabilities. Albertina Kerr began supported living services and significantly expanded employment services and life skills training for people with developmental disabilities.
In 1997, with $3.2 million raised from community donations, Albertina Kerr constructed a new building on the campus and began operating a Crisis Psychiatric Care program for children experiencing a mental health crisis as well as a residential Intensive Treatment program.
In 2001, Albertina Kerr formed an innovative partnership with Morrison Child and Family Services, to recruit and train foster care providers.
Albertina Kerr continues to increase its focus on community-based care with additional neighborhood based group homes for adolescents with developmental disabilities and mental health challenges, community based early intervention care for very young children, and an innovative wraparound service that provides coordinated care for children.
Kerr Bikes fun rentals opened in 2009, providing employment experience for teens in Kerr programs and raising funds. In 2012, Albertina Kerr acquired three new community inclusion programs for adults with developmental disabilities: Art from the Heart, the Snack Squad and Cans for Kids. In 2013, Port City Development was acquired.
In October of 2013, Albertina Kerr acquired the assets of Children's Developmental Health Services (Children's). Children's specializes in treatment of children with developmental delays and disabilities as well as adult audiology services. Together, the organizations are better poised to meet both the physical and behavioral health needs of the most vulnerable.

Mine would be Vanity, Mezame (<3), Himeboshi, In the land of twilight under the moon (godly harmonising is godly), Zodiacal sign and dream scape.
The other discussion I was having with someone about the 4 singers is "Which do you think is the cornerstone of the group, in that if one had to drop out it would ruin the dynamic?".
My friends choice was Keiko, as she is the only one who can do the drive those powerful lower notes. My choice was Kaori, as she drives the melody so well.

My favorite is...actually I like them all. But if I had to choose then Mezame, The Song of Storm and Fire, Dream Scape, Houseki, Zodiacal Sign. See I can't just choose just one. But yeah, I guess my only gripe is the short abrupt background chorus in Song of Storm and Fire but I still like it. By the way I remembered, I didn't like Canta per me, the opening part sung by Yuriko. She used a bit too much of her voice-shaky skill (what do you call that?).
As for which one dropping out ruining the group, then I agree it's definitely Keiko. But if any one of them drop out it would still affect the whole group! They're so good as a group.

Hell, I dunno. I'm so not a muso. Certainly the one conclusion I've discovered is that even though Kajiura has a very similar formula to nearly all her music, it works so damn well.
I'm really looking forward to the third volume. Especially for YUUKA to make an appearance. I always wondered why she was never included in the group stuff, and have since come to the conclusion that while she's very good as a live singer, she simply doesn't have the consistency in her voice as the others do (even though I like her voice a lot more that Yuriko's).

Yes, vibrato! I know, her style never gets old and I always like it. I hope these few months will go by fast so I can watch her next concert on DVD. I hope it is available at my local Japanese store so I won't have to pay so much.

Favourite vocalists in order would have to be: KAORI, WAKANA, KEIKO, Kaida Yuriko, Itou Eri. YUUKA would be high up there, but unfortunately we have to wait for vol three so we can see if her live performances have improved.
Must admit I loved the WAKANA/KEIKO pairing. Their voices just harmonise so brilliantly.
Must agree about 'Canta per me'. Kaida used far too much vibrato in the opening parts, and overall it wasn't given the power and depth it really needed to take off.
Keiko gets my vote as cornerstone member, for reasons stated earlier: She's the only one that has that deep, powerful voice for the other melody singers to bounce off.

Has anyone mentioned her pretty much first project, in the Kimagure Orange Road : Summer's Beginning Movie? Epic OST, includes my favorite track, "Kyosuke N.1"
Though throughout all her works, it is really tough to pick only one. She has produced some magnificent music.

Also noted offences against Yuuka and Keiko. Wakana seems to have come out of it unscathed. Wonder what the others did to make Kajiura hate them?
Anyway, on to the favourites list:
Track 1 (Hoshikuzu)
Track 2 (Kioku no mori)
Track 4 (Gin no hashi)
Track 8 (Hanamori no Oka)
Track 14 (Michiyuki)
All deserve much love. The new composition for El Cazador Amor was great, only problem was Yuuka's voice. No reverb is not flattering... to anyone.

Apple of Summer Kalafina Translation by Janissaryy
Hiding behind the sunflowers of hedge
We have kissed quickly
Your soft cheeks are
Im sure they are very sweet
We have chased a hare into a meadow
Nobody can see us now
In this field which totally ignores us
There was a shoe thrown off as if it was a sign
It was a summer, nothing happened
It was only that I fell in love
The midsummer night where the crescent is dancing
Brings together a love to dream of
While counting the stars, lemon-colored
I am placing a kiss to your heart
The melody of flute carries you off
In the wind, to the autumn, coming soon
The green apple which is too young
It tastes very bad as if it was some kind of metal
From the branch where the pain becomes the fruit
You have taken it
The fishes, that do not sleep, dreaming
It was an unending summer
The hearts, the seasons, and the apples
They have forgotten even to redden
The bird of the weather vane which is sensitive to cold
It sings that the autumn is approaching
The midsummer night where the crescent is swaying
I remember the love I have forgotten
One page of my dream, the bell sounds of stars
I am placing a kiss to your heart
It is the innocent apple from that summer
It remains in my heart forever

Electrocautery is the use of a low-voltage electrical charge to burn
off a growth. The electrical charge travels through the tip of a needle to the
growth. It can be an effective way to remove a
seborrheic keratosis. But it is not effective for
removing large numbers of keratoses.
This procedure usually can be done in your doctor's office. An
injection of a numbing medicine (local anesthetic) should help control pain. Healing usually takes 2 to 4
weeks, depending on the size of the treated area.
Electrocautery can leave a scar and may permanently lighten dark

How to Use
the Readings
Inquiry Question
Reading 2: Continuity and Change in the Valleys
As families from the overcrowded villages on the western slopes of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains pushed into the valleys to the east in the 1820s and 30s, they brought their traditions with them. They dug ditches, divided irrigable lands, grew crops, raised livestock, and built homes. Cut off from the original Spanish settlements by the mountains, they subsisted largely on what they could produce themselves. They established churches to commemorate the local patron saint. Much of life revolved around religious festivals, seasonal farming cycles, bartering, and folk healing practices. Their lives differed little from those led in the Rio Grande valley for several hundred years.
Three tasks faced these early settlers. First, they needed to protect themselves from Indian attack. Second, they needed to clear the valley floors for farming. Third, they needed to irrigate the land they had cleared. Spanish regulations had established rules for laying out ditches and regulating water distribution in the New World in 1681. These were based on irrigation practices used in Spain since the days of the Roman Empire. All waters were held in common by all inhabitants. Local officials supervised irrigable lands and distributed the waters of communal ditches called acequias (ah-SAY-key-ahs).
The settlers cooperated to dig and maintain the irrigation ditches. They used oxen to cut the initial ditch when they could, but often they were forced to pull their wooden plows themselves. Typically, all irrigated land was used for gardens and grain fields. Buildings and corrals were perched on higher ground. The forested land extending up the sides of the valleys behind the buildings was held in common and used for livestock grazing, hunting, and wood cutting.
The stout houses they built were made of adobe bricks--a mixture of earth, water, and straw shaped in a wooden mold. The beams, or vigas, supporting the flat roofs were overlaid with trimmed saplings, or latillas, which were then covered with layers of grass, clay, and straw. The roofs were protected by low parapet walls and drained by carved wood ducts, known as canales, that projected through the parapets to keep rainwater from running down the soft adobe walls.
House plans were also traditional. The basic building unit was a single room. With one exterior door and a small adobe fireplace in the corner, the room provided space for cooking, sleeping, and the entire range of family activities. As families increased in size, other similar units, each with its own exterior door, were added next to the original one to form a row of rooms. In the early years, when Indians were a great and constant danger, the rows enclosed one or more courtyards. There were no windows on the exterior. All doors and windows opened into the courtyards and were often sheltered by portales, or porches. At night, the livestock were driven into stock pens inside one of the courtyards through a covered passage. As security increased, L- or U-shaped plans became more common.
As new styles and mass-produced materials from the east became available, the Hispano house began to change. Prosperous merchants and landowners in the valley, both Hispanos and Anglos, wanted to use the fashionable building styles they had seen in the towns and the new U.S. Army posts. These styles were rarely simply copied, however. More often local builders simply borrowed ornamental elements and pasted them onto traditional houses. They used stone, adobe, and timber to build the house and then added wood decorative details. Imaginative, and sometimes colorful, this ornamentation was often the result of local carpenters experimenting with new woodworking tools or newly available milled lumber. Most of these decorative elements appeared on porches, doors, and windows.
New influences also altered the traditional floor plan. Doors between adjoining units made it possible to move from room to room without going outside. The single rows of rooms were rearranged into a four room square. Larger houses now sometimes included the central hallway long popular in the eastern United States. On very rare occasions, these adobe houses might have a second story. Nevertheless, the linear house plan continued to be the most common house form into the early 20th century.
Questions for Reading 2
1. What were the first tasks facing settlers moving into the valleys east of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains?
2. How were Hispano ranchos typically laid out? Why do you think this arrangement was used?
3. How was the traditional Hispano house built?
4. How did influences coming in from the east affect the traditional house?
5. Why do you think traditional building materials and traditional house plans continued to be used even on houses with fashionable wooden details?

Arm Liposuction (Armpit fat liposuction)
Arms are one place where the fat keeps on saturating making them look bulgy and oversized. There is no diet that can contour that problem and exercise can help but you will get limited results. If you are looking for a solution to get toned and slimmer arms, then Arm liposuction is the best possible answer. If you have healthy weight, firm, elastic skin and concentrated pockets of fat that do not respond well to diet and exercise, then you are the right candidate for arm or Armpit fat liposuction.
During the procedure, you will be given anesthesia to make you comfortable and then the Liposuction procedure is performed using a suction instrument attached to a small, tube-like cannula. This cannula is inserted into fatty areas between skin and muscle where it removes excess fat either using a suction pump or a large syringe. This results in a smoother, improved body contour. Tumescent liposuction provides excellent cosmetic results. Go for arm liposuction or armpit liposuction to get slender arms.
One of the important reasons to fly to India for surgery is to save duty, which is imposed otherwise on cosmetic surgeries done in other countries. Cosmetic Surgery in Mumbai, India costs relatively less compared to regions like the Kenya and other parts of the world. Medical tourists from Nairobi, Mombasa, Nakuru travel the most to India.
This is a right time to book your tickets!
Key factors:
- > Affordable
- > Safe and effective
- > Feel at home atmosphere
- > Highly qualified surgeons and staff
- > Internationally recognized services
- > Can be combined with holiday/business trip
- > Pick up facility for out of town guests
- > Comprehensive, packaged deals

Online Internet banking and financial transactions on most Indian bank websites is jinxed because every bank out there (atleast the ones I use) insist on paying their IT vendors to develop software that does not run properly on a Linux platform.
Nope, this problem is not restricted to yet another "government bank", private banks are no better.
The HDFC website is also FF friendly and renders well but try verifying credit cards for online purchase. Earlier the Netsafe/Verified by Visa/ MasterCard SecureCode pop-up screen used to return a "your browser is not IE....." message but now it gleefully crashes FF in a very customer friendly way!
After a whole week of running around between branches and complaining online and talking to divisional heads... the status quo remains. Frustrated, I used IE and voila, everything just works. Ughh!!
Supporting transactions for non-IE browsers is almost non-existent and talking about standards with the bank staff will get the standard response "yahan sab log Windows use karte hain (here everyone uses Windows)". That is the managers cue to me : "Yo customer, I dont care about your problem so end this Linux conversation". Asking to speak to the technical folks will not materialise --see they would not speak to lesser denizens like me, their customers.
Yet another private bank, ICICI does not think a second layer of security verification for credit card transactions online is important. Simply using a https server is not good enough. A second layer of security for each transaction should be mandatory. Ideally before approving an online transaction the merchant website should redirect to a Visa or Mastercard verification page (via your bank) which will ask you to verify with the CCV pin#, email id, password, etc... (exact procedure differs slightly from bank to bank) for EACH transaction. Currently ICICI simply approves the transaction which is a security lapse on the banks part because someone can memorize the card number, the expiry date, $name and simply flip over your card to read the 3-digit CCV overleaf and voila, you just gave a stranger access to your money!
While we were in Delhi, a restaurant printed the name, the 16-digit CC number (in all its glory) with expiry date on the POS receipt. So sans the second layer verification from Visa/MC, anyone with access to the merchants copy of the CC payment receipt can misuse the card online. All s/he has to do is memorize the 3-digit CCV number on the back of your card. _That_ is a BIG security hole. I didnt bring this to the merchants attention as I didnt want to alert them to a possible route to a financial fraud.
Now, if ICICI had a II-layer verification, for the online transaction to be
approved the fraudster would need to know your email id, password, answer to
your security question, etc.. before they can (mis)use
your card online. This II-layer verification (besides the IP verification,
etc)) will help to narrow down the culprit(s) to: 1) an internal source who has
access to your bank records, OR 2) social engineering,
where you gave the details to your confidant/relative/friend/family and it was
(mis)used sans your permission.
I suspect that the second layer verification is provided by Visa/Mastercard only to those banks that pay them for this service and I've experimented with multiple cards for the _same merchant_ and ICICI is still approving the online transaction sans the second verification layer. Now, if a second layer security feature service provided by VISA and MasterCard is being withheld by not informing and not providing the service to the customer, then it is a security lapse on the banks part.
The other scary bit with online banking with some Indian merchants is the practice of auto-debiting your Credit Card for annual subscriptions. If I want to re-sub to your service, I will. I would prefer the merchant sending me a email notice instead of directly debiting my card without my approval or request. This tells me that the merchant is storing my Card details, without my knowledge and permission, which is not good security practice and most likely I will not use their service again.
Another problem area is the live trading on BSE. Currently this data is available deferred live if you use a non-IE browser. The merchants I spoke to are un-willing to support live trading on a Linux platform, partly because the share traders and banks are so used to IE that they dont support any neutral standards or system platforms.
The European Union's Internet accessibility laws are pretty strongly enforced and India should also have such laws. RBI, http://www.rbi.org.in, has a list of all the circulars sent to all Indian banks under its jurisdiction, including small branches which as per law are required to publicly display rules and regulations in B&W on a notice board within their offices. Maybe a PIL on behalf of the Persons With Disabilities Act will get browser neutral compatibility standards enforced across the board in India.: Now the Reserve Bank of India has made it mandatory to have an extra level of authentication called VBV (Verified by Visa) or MSC (Master Card Secure Code) password. This password is required to use while you are making an online transaction. All customers are requested to visit your respective card issuing bank's website or VISA/MASTER sites and register your card for Verified by Visa or Master Card Secure Code to get your password.

Meulensteen guarded in Morrison row
Fulham manager Rene Meulensteen refused to say any more regarding West Ham midfielder Ravel Morrison amid fears doing so might "get him in trouble" with the clubs involved in a tapping-up row.
West Ham reported their London rivals to the Premier League following comments from Meulensteen after his side's FA Cup replay win over Norwich on Tuesday, where he revealed a bid had been made and claimed Morrison wanted to move to Craven Cottage.
The Dutchman was understandably cautious to comment further on the matter at his press conference on Thursday afternoon.
When asked about any targets the club might have, he said: "I am not going to make any comments on (transfers) because it is going to get me into trouble.
"It is wiser at this moment in time that we are not going to comment on anything that is happening in regards to any transfer news or speculation.
"Things are in hand with the club, with (chief executive) Alistair Mackintosh."
With Morrison's contract at West Ham still having 18 months remaining, the east London club's complaint is likely to surround Premier League rulings which relate to a club making an approach for a player under contract or the player, or his representative, approaching clubs in the hope of instigating a possible transfer.
Asked if there had been any formal communication from the Premier League, Fulham's communications director Sarah Brookes stated: "We have only seen what you have seen. Up until anything further can be said, we will be making no further comment."
Morrison, meanwhile, seemed to refute recent suggestions he wants to leave West Ham.
Having earlier tweeted to suggest reports surrounding his future, including some which hinted that he may go on strike to push through a move, were "lies", he told the club's official website: "Although it is frustrating to read some of the reports in the media, I always try to keep my focus on the next game and show people with my performances on the pitch that I want to do well for West Ham.
"I've been working really hard over the past few weeks to get back to full fitness after missing a couple of recent games with a groin injury.
"I'm feeling fine now and I'm hoping to be involved in Saturday's important game with Newcastle and then the Capital One Cup semi-final with Manchester City on Tuesday."
West Ham assistant manager Neil McDonald took the Hammers' press conference on Thursday, standing in for manager Sam Allardyce, who was said to be busy with transfer business of his own.
McDonald stressed Morrison was happy at Upton Park and claimed reports the player threatened to go on strike to force a move were "news to (him)".
When asked if the club wanted to keep the 20-year-old, McDonald replied: "Well why not? But he needs to get into the team and he needs to be consistent. I imagine every player has a price."
Fulham are fighting for Premier League survival, having been thumped 4-1 at home by fellow strugglers Sunderland last weekend, and could do with some reinforcements.
Meulensteen accepts in general the mid-season transfer window can be "unsettling".
"It is always the financially strong teams who have the ability to strengthen, whether it is a push for the title or to get themselves out of the mess. Whereas the teams who have not got that, you just have to deal with that," he said.
"But (the January transfer window) is definitely unsettling in many ways because of what clubs do, this that and the other. Players get a bit unsettled with what is happening and what is not happening."
Meulensteen, though, maintains even if Fulham are not able to bring in any new players to bolster the squad this month, the Cottagers - currently in 16th, but just a point above the drop zone - can still pull clear of trouble.
"Yes I think we have enough quality in there. Not only that, but there's been great application by the lads. I can't fault the application and the desire these boys show every day in training," Meulensteen said.
"I am still trying to find the right cards, but I have seen a lot of positive things.
"If we become more solid, we have already proven we have got enough going forward.
"With the introduction of some younger players, you can already see there is quality and energy there.
"They are not the finished article, but you can throw them in when you have to."

Jeff94969 needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 65 designs submitted by 17 freelance designers.
North American Diesel Performance
We are Western Canada's largest Diesel Truck Performance Centre. 38,000sq.ft. of diesel truck performance and racing gear. We have two companies... one builds racing and heavy duty transmissions, etc, and the other does the turbos, tuners, mods, etc.
We are the best in the industry and are known throughout North America for what we do. We've been featured at the SEMA car show, and have lots of great footage online (YouTube us).
Please visit http://www.nadp.ca for more info on our company. Become a fan on our Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/follow.nadp for a more in depth feel of our daily operations and customer base.
For this brand, we are targeting the custom truck builders, weekend racers, and performance modifiers. Ages 18-45 is our key demo, but have an older following as well.
Most of our customers work on farms, in the oil & gas industry, or are mechanics, welders, etc.
We are looking to create an image that is like that of "Metal Mulisha(.com)" but for the diesel truck industry.
This is a long time vision for the owners of NADP and they are looking for that perfect design. It needs to be well thought out with a firm understanding of its use. All support and feedback needed will be provided promptly.
Must become a fan of our facebook page to gauge the full feel for our business and customer base.
Must visit http://www.nadp.ca and perform detailed research into our company, the industry, and trends.
We are looking for a redesign of what we call our "Got Smoke Guy" (file attached). This "Got Smoke Guy" is being rebranded to the "Diesel Addict Mask". It is to appear on all of our new clothing, and custom branded vehicle parts. This design will become a truck grill emblem, shirt design, a differential cover and much more.
*** The design must have two forms. (two versions) 1) Simple enough lines that can be casted in metal. 2) Detailed for clothing design.
*** The files must be submitted in vector format (.ai file).
We are looking to create an image that is like that of "Metal Mulisha(.com)" but for the diesel truck industry. The design should incorporate a Turbo as the canister of the mask, and should have exhaust stacks. (see drafts attached)
We are willing to offer up a bonus $1000 for an individual that pushes the boundaries of this design, and shows a full understanding of our project. This is to be determined by the marketing director for NADP, and will be judged on design, feel, planning, and overall vision understanding.
An additional $500 will be provided to the winner if they supply a 3D file that can be supplied to a casting company (CAD, 3DS Max, Maya, etc). Thats a total of $1500 extra potential earnings! We will pay for the right design!

When the FLOTUS talks, you listen — even if you're all the way across the pond. Apparently First Lady Michelle Obama is curious to know what's happening to the dramatic crew at Downton Abbey — so much so that she wrote Britain's ITV1 requesting season three before the January 2013 premiere in the United States. Since Obama's been campaigning since before time began, I think she's earned a quiet evening with everyone's favorite cast of eccentrics, sluts, and straight-up sociopaths, wouldn't you agree?
An ITV source told The Sun: "We know it's very popular in America as it's so quintessentially British. We'd heard the Obamas liked to watch it but we were very surprised when someone from the First Lady's office got in touch asking for the series."
"They were very polite and we were more than happy to sort out some DVDs for them to send over. Obviously we hope they keep the spoilers to themselves as our US fans may not know about... well, you know what!"
It looks like the First Lady's wishes are Julian Fellow's commands. Also, I know what you're all thinking: Downton slumber party at the White House! Who's in? I want to watch Mr. Bates be human Eeyore and Lady Sybil progressively wear pantaloons as I cuddle with Sasha and Malia and then raid the White House kitchen!
This is getting dangerously close to Fanfic so I'm gonna peace now.
Certainly m'Lady! Michelle Obama requests Downton Abbey series three early.

Field Trips
What you should understand before setting up an Educational Visit
Scheduling a reservation:
Reservations are made on a first-come, first-served basis. Please be flexible, as you may not get your first or second choice of dates.
Class field trip sessions are offered on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at 10:30 and 11:30AM (we are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.) We may also be able to offer slots in the afternoon, if that better suits your schedule.
We can accommodate class groups no larger than 55 persons total. Adult chaperones must be provided at a ratio of one adult for every ten students.
Please contact our group reservation coordinator for more information at email@example.com or e-mail us
Preferred bus route:
From 106 North turn right on Route 25A (Northern Blvd) and to the Cove Road stoplight. Turn left onto Cove Road and travel for 1.7 miles to Cove Neck Road. Turn right on Cove Neck Road and follow the signs for 1.5 miles to Sagamore Hill Road and turn right. Follow Sagamore Hill Road to the end and you will see the Visitor Center.
Preparing for the visit:
Once your reservation is set, there are three important steps in planning any field trip to Sagamore Hill:
1. Teach at least one unit on Theodore Roosevelt prior to your visit to Sagamore Hill
Adequate class preparation is essential to tie your curriculum with the material covered during your field trip to the Park. Students who have at least some background information on Theodore Roosevelt will have a much better experience at Sagamore Hill than those students who do not.
For ideas, see the curriculum materials section of our website.
2. Bring your class here on schedule and prepared to spend 2 hours at the park
Please arrive at least 10 minutes prior to your appointment and check in with a Park Ranger at the Visitor Center.
Bus Parking: After unloading the students from the buses, please have the driver park in the designated bus parking spaces located in the third division of the lot. Also, please have the driver turn off the bus motor. (Idling is against the law!)
Classes should be split into small groups numbering no more than 14 students. Students may visit the Old Orchard Museum to view exhibits, see one a short film on Theodore Roosevelt, and/or complete one Junior Ranger program.
Educational Program Resources
We have structured our educational programs around curriculum-based Junior Ranger Activities that are interesting and enjoyable for the young visitor. Some are designed for class visits, while others are more appropriate for scouting groups; all are suitable for families with children ages eight and up.
Junior Ranger Offerings:
1. Theodore Roosevelt and His Sagamore Hill Home - This activity is completed following a visit to the home of the 26th president. Children may do this when they visit with their families, or it is administered as a take-back-to-class activity for school groups who have visited as a follow up to the class visit.
2. The Theodore Roosevelt Museum History Hunt - Be a history detective and test your powers of observation. This activity is administered to young people and their families or during a site visit by school groups. For many children this will be their first Junior Ranger experience.
3. The Wonderbook of Nature: Exploring Natural History at Sagamore Hill - This activity book is a field guide to some selected species of plant and animal life found at Sagamore Hill. The activity teaches children to use a printed guide book to identify plants and animals. Appropriate for scouting groups or for a family activity.
4. Bunny Ranger Program - The Bunny Ranger program is designed for visitors between the ages of four and seven, and includes activities such as drawing, matching, counting and identification. The completion of the Bunny Ranger programmakes our young visitors eligible for a Bunny Ranger Button and a Bunny Ranger certificate.

Family law, also known as the law of domestic relations or matrimonial law, primarily deals with a series of common household affairs. While one cannot hope to understand this fairly complex part of legal sector all at one go, certain major factor that he or she can start with are briefly explained in the following write-up.
• Custody
When couples get divorced, usually children get to stay with their mother by the order of the Court. At present, owing to being extremely practical, shared care or reinforced involvement of both parents acquired widespread recognition all across the globe. However, implementation takes place only if the process does not disrupt the daily lifestyle and overall wellbeing of the children in concern.
• Superannuation
Superannuation or payments made into definite funds is a significant marriage property according to the family law. In other words, couples lately planning for a divorce can spilt all their entitlements as per value. Although mandatory, people do not tend to pay much attention because immediate needs such as cash asset take up all priority leaving little or no place for long-term interests.
• Live-in Relationships
You cannot expect legal rights just not the basis of living together with a person. Quite unfortunately about 51% of people tend to believe in this extremely ridiculous concept. Well, in such cases, interests could be more or less protected through a cohabitation agreement. But the usual privileges would only be provided on marriage and a registration certificate to prove so.
• Debts
Debts are absolutely personal and could be associated with only the person, who has signed a contract with the lender. Thus, I would not be liable if my spouse has borrowed huge amounts of money and is now not capable of repaying. However, the family courts conduct thorough research, look beyond the contracts, and declare a debt shared or joint if both the parties involved have benefited from it.
• Assets and Finances
Transferring the assets to a third-party would not help in any way because the court can issue an order for a shift back and division of items between the separated couples justifiably. You and your partner would also have to offer each with complete disclosure on all financial documentation including the bank statements. Remember that lawyers would enquire about all transactions, especially the suspicious ones.
So, these are important things that everyone must know about family law as this would allow them to handle divorces, household disputes, and all other associated problems in a seamless way.
Rajib Saha is a reputed author, who writes articles and blogs so that one could know more about the legal sector. According to him, readers going through divorces or other disputes must contact a family lawyer of Cape Town, as all of them are proficient and experienced.

Five Major Aspects You Need to Know About Family Law
- By Sanam Asif


text: Although I know there are probably as many home-grown cluster command dispatching utilities as there are clusters (or maybe that should be #clusters/2 or ln(#clusters) ), if anyone's still looking for such a beast they are welcome to try Fermilab's "rgang" - see http://fermitools.fnal.gov/abstracts/rgang/abstract.html rgang is written in Python, and can be used to execute commands on a set of nodes (command mode) or to distribute files to a set of nodes (copy mode). Node sets can either be specified by referring to a farmlet name or a Python-style list specification, eg: rgang name "echo 'hi there'" where the file /usr/local/etc/farmlets/name lists a set of nodes, or rgang qcd01{01-4} "echo 'hi there'" which executes on qcd0101, qcd0102, qcd0103, and qcd0104. The output of an rgang command shows the response from each node: qcdhome:~$ rgang qcd01{01-2} "echo 'hi there'" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - qcd0101 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - /usr/bin/rsh qcd0101 "echo 'hi there'" hi there - - - - - - - - - - - - - - qcd0102 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - /usr/bin/rsh qcd0102 "echo 'hi there'" hi there rgang can also be passed a list of nodes via stdin. This is handy, for example, for examining what's happening on a group of nodes running a given PBS job (using another script to parse 'qstat -a'). Copy mode works similarly to rcp, except it takes a list of nodes as the destination, e.g. the command rgang -c [nodespec] sourcefile destfile copies sourcefile from this node to destfile on each node in [nodespec]. "-C" instead of "-c" excludes this node from the destination list. rgang optionally runs in tree-mode, in which matching rgang commands are spawned on the nodes in a tree structure. For example, on a 3-way fan-out to 10 destination nodes, /--- n0007 +--- n0009 | \--- n0008 startNode +--- n0004 +--- n0006 | \--- n0005 | /--- n0003 \--- n0000 +--- n0002 \--- n0001 the rgang command would run on the startNode and the middle three nodes, with the requested command executed on all 10 nodes. Used in copy mode, this gives a scalable file distribution mechanism for large clusters, essentially using a number of "worms" to replicate a file down the various paths of the tree. rgang uses rsh/rcp or ssh/scp, set by command line switch or environment variable. It also understands Kerberos and can forward tickets, control encryption, and so forth. rgang was written by Ron Rechenmacher here at Fermilab and is actively supported. Don Holmgren Fermilab

User talk:HistoricAccount Commander I. Heartly Noah
Commander I. Heartly Noah
Contributions - lots of descriptions and dialogue in the 50-90 range.
Lots of rules speculation, especially involving elves, stats, and tactical options.
- That was you? Nice job! SteveMB 22:25, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
Somebody else was doing the dialogue & descriptions at the same time as me - for a while, we leapfrogged.
Crossposted from DToC talk page: I've whipped up a blog citation templateErf-b1.5-p007. A template for Intermission entries specifically is possible, but it'd take more code and time and I'm waiting for more requests before I decide it's worth it. ;) But yeah, in the meantime, here you go.

"Great job on the descriptions and dialog transcriptions! One sometimes wonders how all the work gets done. People like you! Thanks from the Interwebs!" --- 188.8.131.52 02:28, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
I asked Rob through private mail on the forums and here is what he replied:
Scarlet (though that is not really her name) is Unaroyal. Maya (same deal) is Hobbitm. There is a reason for that, which does make sense, but it would spoil a joke later. I can't be much more specific than that, but blue = Hobbitm and red = Unaroyal.
Not what I thought, but pretty unambiguous, I'd say. -- Muzzafar 07:58, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
Spec vs. Prop C
If you ever write something and find yourself using "unlikely", "probably", or other "possible but not certain" term, you're writing Spec, not Prop C. --Kreistor 15:53, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
Is there new information about Warlords and Leadership that I have not been made aware of? --Kreistor 18:36, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
You've edited the pages to make it appear that the resolution you agree with has been accepted. Are we done with accepting other people's positions entirely? Are you trying to start an "Undo" war?--Kreistor 18:40, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
"However, Warlord is a specific term for leaders with the Leadership ability. Commander is a more general term, and also encompasses Casters, who do not have Leadership.Erf-b1-p084a Both CastersErf-b1-p017 and WarlordsErf-b1-p007 can be and have been called "Commander," even insisting on it,Erf-b1-p083 while both have also been referred to with their more specific terms. (Incidentally, Wanda Firebaugh was once referred to as "officer,"Erf-b1-p005, which we can only assume is a rarely-used synonym.)"
You declared victory on Warlord, not Commander. Have you no objectivity at all, Noah? Did you think I wouldn't notice? You only moved the argument to Warlord and failed to present anyone else's perspectives on the subject. We have to work together, but something like this, while we are discussing an issue? Objectivity means representing everyone, Noah. Did you do that today? --Kreistor 22:35, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
Do I need to respond to your last message on my page? Do you still not understand the issue? --Kreistor 19:37, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
Look, don't characterize other people's arguments in the Wiki. That's just flat out rude. When you argue about the argument it's opinion and just not helpful to anyone, and can only lead to what I've done -- completely undone most of what you wrote. Do you really not get that this is a place where we all have to play fair? What you write, I can unwrite. Readers can decide if my arguments are marginal without your claims to that effect. If they are, they'll realize it, so you don't need to say it. If they aren't, then you don't deserve the air time.
Compromise, Noah. This place must be a place of compromise. I gave all three Disciplines equal time and presence. Could you have done that? No, you couldn't because you've been undermining it since I did it, trying to advance the Carnymancy case by tearing down everything else. I started in the middle ground: that should have been obvious from the start. If I was being unobjective, Shockmancy would have better arguments and I would have undermined everything else: I didn't. No one has unwritten anything that I wrote about any of those subjects: I did a good job of representing the ideas of my opponents, didn't I? But here I am unwriting vast tracts of your work as prejudicial and argumentative. Your goal is to try to ensure only your idea wins, but that is not what this Wiki can ever be about. It is about all ideas.
I will not negotiate any other position, because this is the only position we can end in. Stop trying to undermine your opponents. It's only bringing the battle from the forum to the Wiki. Keep the arguing off the Wiki: it is supposed to be a place of information, not bickering.
(BTW, Magicians are Hat Magic, not Carnymancy. I shifted the flight argument to trapeze acts which fit the carnival motife better. [u]That's[/u] objectivity. Are [u]you[/u] capable of improving an opponent's argument?)
--Kreistor 03:54, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
1) I put Shockmancy first, because the last two times I was involved with my own theories, I put my own theories last. (Disbanding and some other page.) Sometimes I get first crack, too. It's not unobjective to give yourself first read once in a while. 2) Your objections about objectivity are from the Forum, not the Wiki. As I pointed out on the forum, I am using different rules here. 3) Carnymancy. I want you to take a step back and think for a moment. Is there any spell or effect that you can't come up with a theory of how it fits into Carnymancy? Uncroaked? Voodoo priestesses and horror shows. Golems? Dr. Frankenstein-like stage plays. You've given Carnymancy such a broad scope, that quite literally every single spell or effect can fall under its umbrella, including those that we know are other Disciplines. Just step back a moment and try. I realized this last night. It's so broad that it quite literally now includes all magic... all you have to be is creative enough. --Kreistor 03:46, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
Hypocrite? When? Playing favorites? No, I have always been fair, going so far sometimes as even counting sentences to ensure equal play time. Do I constantly harp on my pet peeve? No, I haven't added a single positive article to Shockmancy since the rewrite. I have only added negatives to counter the positives you have added, and annihilated prejudicial arguments. Last night you decided to arbitrarily remove a paragraph I wrote that others had atually approved and added to: so when you changed it to your version, I put it back to what I liked, which others happened to like, too. I just didn't mention that last little fact.
So, no, I will not accept the accusation of hypocrisy. I have tried to do everything I can to ensure that the playing field remains entirely balanced, regardless f my own beliefs, and that no speculation gets an inherent advantage thanks to prejudicial language or technique.
You are simply incapable of third person objectivity. I'm not about to accept any judgment you make of me. You have demonstrated a complete lack of even understanding of the concept of objectivity since you started, so how could you ever accurately judge anyone else?
--Kreistor 13:48, 30 July 2009 (UTC) Hey, looky there. You "undid" my restoration of the previous argument. I know you agree with it: you wrote your own version, but in your petulent fury, you removed a truthful argument. Oh, I'm sure you've convinced yourself it's false in some way, now, but all that demonstrates is that your emotions are slipping into your thought processes, and corrupting your analysis. And that's why you aren't objective. So long as your emotions dictate your choices, logic and reason take a backseat to your desire.
Someday you might learn how to detach your ego from your ideas. But that's not today. --Kreistor 13:54, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
Arkenhammer Edit War
It appears to me that you are too closely involved in this topic at the moment. I have renamed the discussion over Arkenhammer alignment to "Associated Discipline Debate", and added a comment about respecting others' points of view; I shall go in and edit the areas a little to attempt to restore fairness for all sides. Please try not to edit this area unless you are certain you can make your edits in an objective manner that will not tread on other wiki users' toes. If there is any doubt, then step away and let the other editors handle it. Thanks. --> ERK!|eyeBook me 15:57, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
Text updates
Hi. When doing the text/description updates, could you exclude the first newline. I think it looks better without it. I.e there should be no space between
<noinclude>{{subpage}}[[Category:Frame Contents]]</noinclude>
and the text. --Raphfrk 20:00, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi just a question on the Regent page. Was the post of Regent Warlord pure speculation, or is there some indication within the comic? The issue arose if Parson is now "Regent" (or maybe Regent Warlord) of the city of Gobwin Knob, since he was appointed to manage the city. --Raphfrk 21:21, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
Footnotes on annotation pages
Hi, I'm new here, and I noticed you added a footnote on TBFGK 59 for panel 2. When you edit the appropriate text, it puts the {{ref}} on both the page-by-page annotation TBFGK 59 and the panel-by-panel annotation TBFGK 59:2. But the {{note}} doesn't get duplicated. This means that people browsing panel-by-panel get a footnote marker that doesn't go anywhere.
The way that I know works is to add the same {{note}} to both annotation pages TBFGK 59 and TBFGK 59:2. I don't know if this can be automated; it's a pain in the absence of automation, which I don't know how to do. But if it's not too much work, it will make the Annotation pages less confusing for readers.
Or if you know of another way of preventing dead footnotes, I'm all ears!–Dan Hoeytalk 03:25, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
- There are notes in the page annotations that aren't showing up in panel versions? That would explain it. I've been just reading panel-by-panel but I've fixed a few missing refs by doing them myself. I'll go back and see if there's refs on the page that I missed for those. Housellama 3-Oct-2012
Why are you wasting your (and my) time ?
Is there a reason to delete REDIRECT pages and pages for minor characters? As I stated elsewhere, these pages are more efficient in space utilization, and a wiki should be able to have information about everyone on Erfworld we know, not just the major characters.
It seems you are wasting the time used by me to make the wiki better for no reason.
If you have energy and can delete pages (which you obviously can), why not delete the spam pages and ban the users who spam here?

2/22 Marlon: 'We're going to explode'
First off, I have to comment on the job Jim Hendry did. He didn't have much money this offseason. He needed pieces to fix this team. We needed a first baseman, we needed left-handed thump in the lineup, we needed a veteran reliever on the back end with experience and we needed another starting pitcher. He didn't just fill those, he went and got a Gold Glover and the best first baseman in the American League East who knows how to win in Carlos Pena. Then, he went and got Matt Garza, who is a horse. He's not missing any starts. He's a monster on the mound with great stuff and he's going to give you 15-plus wins. Then he went and got Kerry Wood — that's icing on the cake. Of course, Woody helped us out, he wanted to come back home. Nobody can blame him. This is home for him and this is where he needs to be. Jim did an unbelievable job. He didn't just bring guys in, he brought guys in who can do the job and help us get to the playoffs and hopefully get to the World Series.
It's exciting. On the first day, I overheard Woody talk to Cashner about throwing cutters on both sides of the plate and talking to Samardzija about that. That experience, that trust factor. Me and Carlos Pena, going back with Rudy. That trust factor is already there. Garza just fit in there. He brings that intensity, he brings that fire, something that this team needs, something the city of Chicago loves to see, loves to watch. I don't think it gets any better than that.
One person you can't leave out who everyone forgets about is Reed Johnson. Bringing back Reed — he'll help in the clubhouse, help on the field. He's not just a presence in the clubhouse, he's a presence on the field. He's a career .282 hitter, kills a lefty, can hit righties, can play anywhere in the outfield. He's a veteran presence. We came up in '99 together and played together in the big leagues. This is our ninth year. He was at St. Catharines with the Blue Jays and I was at Class A Batavia with the Phillies.
The guys we have — there's not excitement on MLB Network, there's not excitement on Baseball Tonight. That excitement is Greinke and Marcum with the Brewers and Berkman going to St. Louis and the Reds signing extensions to the young guys who are going to turn into big dogs. We're going to fly under the radar and keep that excitement bottled up and once April 1 comes, we're going to explode.

Marlon, so glad you are back with your blog. Your excitement is catching. I am going to attend the March 3rd spring training game…can't wait!
Marlon … Great to have you and The Byrd's Nest back. Here's to a successful 2011 for you and the whole Cubs organization. Looking forward to following every Cubs game from the UK.
It's really cool having guys like you and Wood and Reed on the team, Marlon.
You guys have many of the same qualities that made Santo so great and so loved in Chicago.
Hope you have fun this year.
Great to hear from one of the leaders in the club house and on the field. Under the radar is good right now. Pitching looks great & we have much potential a the plate and in the field. Stay healthy, win early and often…….Chicago has much to look forward to this spring!
Looking forward to a get season turning heads and taking names. As every year I feel good about the team, but it is great to hear the team feels the same way. Thanks for the blog and keeping the dream alive.
Marlon, how's Brett Jackson looking?
Let the media talk about the Brewers, Cardinals, or whoever else. I'm really excited about this team and think we're as good as anyone in this division.
Marlon, those are the best words I've heard all offseason. I'm looking forward to a monster season!
P.S. You deserved a Gold Glove way more than Bourn
Wow I am started to get excited. Thanks Marlon…..
I'm pumped, go get'em Marlon!
I agree, everyone keeps bashing on the cubs, saying ohh they're not going to do anything… But I have honestly not felt this excited since the 2008 season started. I remember feeling that something special was going to happen that year and the Cubs did do great except they didn't capatilize towards the end. I can't wait for this season to begin. I'm excited! I'm glad I'm not the only one.
Marlon Byrd you are awesome!
Marlon! It's good to see you back. I'm with Q, forget Pujoles and start getting excited about Pena! Thanks giving us word from the inside. Good luck this year. We're all pulling for you, Byrd-man!
Welcome back Byrd man! Just got my custom Byrd jersey last week! Really glad to see you like Reed Johnson as much as I do, that guy is a great everyday-grinder and a real asset if he can stay with the club. Keep up the good work adn good luck this year, all of Chicago will be pulling for ya!
If half the guys hustled like you do all season, we could be the #1 team in all of baseball! Can't wait to watch you play — your attitude and determination is catching and it is a joy to watch. Your Home Run RUN (NOT trot!) is something to see. Good Luck to all the guys and this IS our year CUBBIES!!!
Marlon! You gave me goosebumps! Now I really can't wait for Opening Day. We're with you all the way! Go Cubbies!!
Thank you Marlon for keeping us up to date on whats going on from an inside perspective. We all know you guys work your tails off to make it happen on the field, but chemistry wins championships as much as talent does, seems like we may have that this year, and our Ace in the Hole is Ronnie sitting up above watching and hopefully influencing the Big Man for his assistance as well. Have a great year, stay healthy and stay positive. "This is The Year!"

I'm really impressed with the way Hendry wheeled and dealed this off season. At first I was skeptical, but after studying it. The Cubs are in great shape this year and I'm excited.
Good Luck Marlon!
Play Ball!
—Mark Gauthier
Thank you Marlon! This was a very positive and encouraging post.
Hi Marlon!
How was your offseason? Mine was fine. We just had a baby, so that's pretty awesome, right? Don't worry about sending a meal or anything. The church has hooked us up with some pretty killer food (not literally killer, Marlon) for like 3 weeks. If I wasn't sporting the Keithman v. P15X body right now I would be getting FAT from all the stuff people are giving us. Don't they know that babies only eat milk and occasionally hay?
Speaking of hay, you should have come to our last softball game last year. My shoulder finally started feeling better again so I'm a little thing I like to call "Byrdified" which, loosely defined, means that I'm ready to unleash the fury of a thousand bengal tigers on the softball field wearing a fresh pair of baseball pants and one really big cup.
Marlon, this year is going to be fresh. I agree that Jim Hendry did some pretty good things this off season, but the fact is he's still hampered by his past mistakes. I hope that pays off with a big ole shot o' Pujols next year, but let's focus on winning the World Series this year.
Remember, don't spit seeds during the game because sunflower seeds will make you fart and that is distracting in the batter's box. You're welcome.

I've been gluten free for several years. Most of the time I think I have this lifestyle down pat. I can easily name 20 gluten free flours, describe the inner workings of xanthan gum, and recite how to make fab waffles using Gluten Free Bisquick. Then the month of December arrives with a slew of gluten-filled holiday party invites. Fear sets in. How can I avoid glutening myself? Instead of visions of sugar plums dancing in my head, I'm picturing accidentally eating gluten and spending an embarrassingly excessive amount of time in my host's restroom. Then I remind myself that there's no need to panic; with some pre-party planning, we can successfully navigate through the holidays gluten-free!
1. Let your host know that you are gluten-intolerant and offer to bring a gluten-free dish. This guarantees that you will be able to safely eat at least one dish at the event.
2. Don't go to the party on an empty stomach. Before you head out the door, eat something. You'll be less likely to drool over those off-limit pastries if you're not famished. Enjoy a safe and tasty gluten-free meal at home beforehand.
3. Pack an emergency stash. Bring along some gluten-free crackers or a snack bar. If the worst-case scenario happens and there is not one thing you can eat, you'll have your emergency stash to dip into.
4. When in doubt, don't chance it. Your host's intentions most certainly are good, but unless you are 100% sure that a dish is gluten-free, don't eat it. It's absolutely okay to ask to see the packaging and check the ingredient list.
5. It may be gluten-free, but someone might have glutened it. Be aware that cross-contamination can easily happen at the buffet table. An unknowing guest could have scooped up the gluten-free dip with a pretzel or cheese curl.
6. Host your own party and make it gluten-free. Have peace of mind that all party foods are safe by hosting your very own holiday party.
7. Focus on your friends and family, not the food. Try not to dwell on what you can't eat at the party. Focus on the fun you're having with your family and friends. Have a healthy, happy and gluten-free holiday
