Alexandra Daddario on Annabeth being a "Better Friend" in Sea of Monsters
Alexandra Daddario talked to MTV about the changes in her character, Annabeth Chase, between the first and second films.
"I think in the first movie she's tougher and she has more of a guard up. And I think as far as her relationship with Percy is concerned, she wants him to prove himself to her more," Daddario said. "In this one, I think she's a better friend. I think she's let him in. She's more vulnerable, and I think it's sort of a sign of her growing up that she's able to sort of show her weaknesses a little more. And I liked playing that."
"You see more of what makes her tick, and when you find out Percy has a half-brother, she really doesn't like him because he's a Cyclops," Daddario explained. "Not to give too much away, but I'm sure everyone's read the books. And you sort of find out why that is, and you sort of find out where she comes from and who she was, and I think she learns a lot from her dislike of this person. She sort of finds out that everyone's not so bad. It was interesting to play this more vulnerable, sweet side of her and see what makes her who she is."
Percy Jackson Cast Interview
ComingSoon.net interviewed Logan Lerman, Alexandra Daddario, Brandon T. Jackson, Leven Rambin, and director Thor Freudenthal about the upcoming release of Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters.
Q: Returning to these roles, did you just fall back into character or did you have to reintroduce your character to yourself?
Alexandra Daddario: I think there was a little bit of that. It was a few years, but it was kind of like going back to summer camp. It was great because you're with your old friends and you're very comfortable around them, and you have people to rely on and lean on if you're having a bad day. If you're having a good day you have someone to share it with. That was a really great part of it and that really helped us fall back into character. Now we know how to do green screen; we're in different places in our lives and careers; so it was a really exciting, cool adventure.
Q: Do you have any thoughts on why this book series and movie so resonate with people?
Daddario: I think it's really hard to be a kid, and it's really hard to grow up. We all know that's true. This series shows that no matter what you're going through, no matter what you're struggling with or what is difficult for you, you can still succeed. It doesn't mean that you can't be who you want to be. It doesn't mean that you have amazing powers or amazing abilities, despite all your weaknesses. That's really relatable and inspiring, and it's really cool to be a part of that. I think that's one of the reasons that people love it. It's just a relatable inspiring story.
Jackson: Younger kids these days, it's a cynical generation. It's something good to believe in. There's the reality type stuff, but you don't see too many books and films, unless you're a reader, that have underlying tones that have positive messages that can be for kids. Kids are kind of doing their own thing on the internet. So to have the positive force that readers can take from this is really inspiring and great for this generation because they definitely need it.
Lerman: The similarities between a film like this and, obviously very similar films structurally… There's something really appealing, especially for me growing up, and now even, about young people in extraordinary situations dealing with human issues and problems. Flawed characters as well, none of our characters are perfect. But yeah, the extraordinary situation of being young – there's something appealing about that. Kids who save the world? That's fun.
Q: Leven, is it fun to be a brunette and kick butt? Have you enjoyed changing your personality a little bit this time?
Rambin: Yeah, I was really lucky that Thor was able to see me as a brunette with this blonde hair. That's not typically the first thing that comes to mind when you look at me, I don't think. But when I put on that wig – luckily they didn't dye my hair – and change my physicality a lot… Nothing against brunettes – I still felt beautiful. But I felt a lot less inhibited, and I felt down to be a little more brash and powerful and strong. I kind of hid behind all this brown hair, and it gave me the power and confidence to verbally rip this one over here. [Laughs.]
Q: Thor, how did you want to push this forward cinematically but also keep it of a piece with the first film?
Thor Freudenthal: I felt that the first film did a great job of doing the footwork of establishing the world. But I felt reading the book, Sea of Monsters, that there was a lot of life in the camp in places that we don't necessarily see in the first movie. So whenever we show the camp, I wanted to show different aspects than we had seen in movie 1. That was a great way to expand the world as a whole and the visual vocabulary. But also, obviously, a lot of this movie takes place at sea, which is a vast scope and very wide. Dealing with that was fun. Aside from that, I just kind of visually shoot the way I shoot and I don't consciously think about it. It's just a way of moving the camera, composing shots. I can't really consciously say that I'm trying to stay within what Chris in the first movie established. It's just kind of my own sense of pacing and rhythm and editing speed and so forth. I did, and luckily I think the material of the movie supported that. I think the books are irreverent and quirky. They don't always take themselves all that seriously. And at times we wanted to do that in the film. It was maybe a bit of an expansion, or digging deeper into what the tone of the books are than before.
Q: Have any of you read most of the books in order to portray the characters better?
Daddario: I read the first book in lieu of the script, because I did not have the script when I screen-tested. It helped a lot. And I read the second book, but actually after I read the script for the second movie. Because I find that they are two different mediums, and structurally they're different. I think focusing on the script is most important when you're making a film. But the books definitely help with character development, and you see some different stories that are left out of the script, so it's an interesting read.
Rambin: I read the second book, in which Clarisse is described as pig-faced and disgusting. So I tried to incorporate that. [Laughs.] I wasn't concerned with vanity, and I wasn't super body conscious. I kind of let myself fall into that a little bit, just because I didn't want to feel like a pretty girl. I didn't want to feel like someone who was upkeeping, who cares about that kind of thing. I kind of shut my eyes at certain parts, but it did help me to understand what the fans are looking for. And what I should bring to diehard fans of the book.
Q: What's really caught your attention about these fans who get so deep into this particular mythology?
Daddario: The biggest thing for me is that it's kind of amazing [how] you're jumping into something that so many young people are inspired by. When I was a kid – ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen – I used to go to Broadway shows and wait outside the back and wait for autographs from the actors. I thought they were godlike and the most amazing people. My dream was to be on stage or be in a movie. To be in the opposite position now is kind of amazing. It's really exciting to be able to inspire somebody and meet somebody and uplift them just because you get to play a relatable character that everybody knows in a movie. That's kind of cool.
Lerman: Yeah, the majority of people that would recognize me in my normal everyday life from this film are kids. My family works a lot with children, and it's really nice to see that a movie can make them so happy. And that a photo might make them so happy because that's the character that they love from the movie. That's the most value I get out of being a part of this film.

Young Performer Magazine Interview with Alexandra Daddario
Recently, Young Performer Magazine interviewed one of the stars of the Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters movie, Alexandra Daddario (Annabeth).
Q: Is it nice to be working with your co-star Logan Lerman again?
A: Logan's a great actor and great to work with. We shot in New Orleans in an abandoned Six Flags theme park. It was muddy, and there were armadillos walking around and snakes. Logan and I were sitting there, in the mud, tied up to posts with bugs crawling on us. We just started laughing hysterically at the situation.
Q: Why do you think kids like the Percy Jackson stories so much?
A: It's about kids who are flawed in some way and, ultimately, they are still able to succeed. We all have problems growing up. Fights in families, ADHD, dyslexia – all things that are talked about in Percy Jackson – but you can still do whatever you want to do and you're still special. I think that's the message that everybody relates to.
Red Carpet News TV on the set of Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters
Red Carpet News TV spent some time with Logan Lerman, Alexandra Daddario, and director Thor Freudenthal in an abandoned Six Flags in Louisiana during the filming of Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters. They chatted with the stars about the franchise, new characters, and filming in such a creepy location!
The former Six Flags theme park in Louisiana, which was closed after the damage and flooding wreaked by Hurricane Katrina, is alight for the first time since that devastating event. In the years that followed, it had become part of the surrounding swamp, and home to alligators, armadillos, snakes and the other flora and fauna of this part of the world. It was about as far from habitable as could be.
But the crew of PERCY JACKSON: SEA OF MONSTERS have moved in for a two-week shoot at the park, which will double for the damaged lair of the blind cyclops Polythemus as part of a new quest for the character first brought to the big screen in 2010's PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS: THE LIGHTNING THIEF, which grossed more than $200M at the global box office. The crew has spent the past five weeks getting it ready: laying down new wiring and adding to the rundown nature of the place. Oh, and moving the alligators out.
"It's a pretty eerie set and a pretty harsh environment to work in," says Logan Lerman, who returns to the title role. "Hot, humid and full of bugs."
"They took out all the alligators that had been there, but there are still armadillos other creatures walking around," laughs Alexandra Daddario, who returns to the role of Annabeth. "So you're sitting there in the mud, tied up to posts, with bugs crawling all over you: all you can do is laugh. It's either laugh or cry, and it's best to laugh!"


text: Hello everyone, I recently picked up alittle toy that I think all of you would enjoy. I researched it abit, and took into consideration both sides about the product (i.e. Andy's view) and I have to say that for what I'm using my ipod Shuffle for, I absolutely love this little toy. Granted it doesn't have a viewing screen, text messaging option, ball washer and pubic hair clipper with kung fu grip, but I feel for the use of meditation, aerobics and lifting (when I can actaully do it again) its perfect. If you are using more then 120 songs when you workout, you are overdoing it. I fit all of my meditation, lifting, and running music on this thing and I still have room for more (even though I can't lift yet!!!!!!!) One big plus is the cost. $99 + $29 for the arm band. Now for a general mp3 player, it's going to run you about the same + the SD card. Or, a "sports" walkman, will easily run you more. That's why I love my toy. YOu can charge it through your USB port, load up the songs, and then shove it up your ass, and it only feels like Jim's tiny little speck of a penis is in my ass. Sometimes I get my iPod Shuffle and Jim's penis confussed, but then I remembered how much bigger the iPod Shuffle is. (I love you Jim)

In two short days it will be February 1st. February means going to visit my lovely sister and her family for a few days to help. It means Abigail is almost 2 years old. It means St. Valentine's day and the beginning of Lent are just around the corner. Finally, for me, it means that we are slowly but surely putting dark days and cold nights behind us. I really shouldn't complain. We have had the mildest winter I can ever remember having here, but, I confess.. I still struggle to find joy in the cold, dark days. The days when I really should take the kids outside to play but can't find the energy or desire to do so.
We have spent a lot of time indoors lately and that has made me notice so many little projects needing doing. I gave my husband a little 'honey-do' list this morning and he is off to the shops to get a few odds and sods to get the jobs done. Bless his heart. I think our oven has been without a handle since May(!) I am also contemplating painting the half wall in our dining room with chalkboard paint to create a bit of fun for the girls.
Ben's work has been an adjustment to be sure, but we are seeing the benefits of that work. Not only his work, but his environment. The food we eat as a family is changing in the way I always hoped it would, but that is a story for another day.
In the meantime, I am knitting, drinking a good many hot drinks and dreaming about holding sweet Rose and drinking in that sweet smell of a new baby.
What are you doing to keep the winter blues at bay? What are you looking towards in the weeks to come to keep you smiling?

Technology of Flow Chart For Coal Briquette Press Production Line &Briquette Plant Price
The Coal Briquette Press is a briquettes making device which can continuously send all kinds of dry
and wet powder to the roll nip through the preloading device, and press the dry and wet powder under
the pressure of the roll nip Into the coal briquettes.
Coal Briquette Press production line process:
1, material pile retting 24 hours (coal + water + adhesive) of the physical and chemical reaction
2, the material (coal + adhesive) stirring, kneading (roll),
homogenization process.
Raw coal - sieving - crushing - (adhesive preparation and addition) - stirring - retting - stirring
(homogenization, crushing) - molding - drying
Device Configuration:
Original Coal Bunker - Vibrating Screen -Coal crusher - Mixer - Kneader - Homogenizer - Separator -
Coal Briquette Press - Belt Dryer
Process design and equipment configuration Quality requirements:
Enhance the material coal and adhesive affinity and inclusive permeability, and give full play to
optimize the effectiveness of adhesive modification, improve the molding plasticity.
Process design and equipment configuration in the prone to problems:
1, the structure of the crusher on the larger size of the impact of crushing.
2, mixing the mixer, stirring strength, mixing effect, material and adhesive permeability of the
poor permeability, poor plastic molding.
3, feeding and feeding quality is not accurate, unstable.
4, crusher before the raw coal belt feeding material is not easy, uniform, crusher capacity and
granularity control instability, the impact of the process, should be used to specify the weight
of the belt material.
5, Coal Briquette Press feeding must be continuous, uniform, not shed material.
1) by mixing, retting after the knot of the material to be the second mixing or homogenization, so
that the molding machine feeding uniform, control molding compression ratio, into the ball high,
strength Ye Hao.
2) to solve the problem of mixing, retting the raw material of the original coal bunker. The
general use of the loader to the material into the silo, the material sticky, there are gaps,
easy to plug the silo out of the mouth, resulting in the material is not continuous, when for a
long time, forming machine in this state to run, Ball into the ball low.
6, the choice of the principle of forming pressure is not the greater the pressure the better,
in the pressure to adjust the conditions to choose a reasonable molding pressure, to avoid
pressure, rebound (hemisphere) phenomenon.
The five stages of briquette molding
1) Qualified material preparation phase
2) plus force compression stage
3) forming stage
4) Pressure feed stage
5) rebound stage
7, into the ball high, easy to touch, non-stick ball, corrosion resistance and wear resistance
1) the size of the ball, coal coal wear coefficient, the corrosion of the binder composition,
roller material and the compatibility of scientific and reasonable heat treatment process.
Correctly distinguish between corrosion resistance and abrasion resistance. From the current use
of the effect: Gor15SiMin material by the overall quenching heat treatment, hardness in the HRC60,
good wear resistance, long service life.
2) forming roll structure and assembly method and its influence
At present, the forming roller structure is mainly divided into hot-loaded structure and upset
set-type structure. Hot structure can not be replaced on the spot replacement, the second is easy
to damage the process of replacement wheels.
8, drying can improve the physical and chemical indicators of briquette products.
Low temperature dry distillation, dehydration from the table and dehydration, adhesive
penetration effect is more obvious. High mechanical strength.
◆ drying indicators: capacity, dehydration rate, energy consumption, environmental protection
◆ drying conditions: the material surface area, process temperature, fan air volume, into the
furnace water
◆ drying furnace heating method: automatic heating system, automatic coal, automatic slag

After a nice long vacation from building setups, I return with this Late Model setup for Irwindale Speedway 2016 Season 4. This setup represents a departure from the way most iRacing Late Model setups are being built right now, and, for me, a return to my earlier methods. With this build, iRacing seems to have gotten some of the aspects of the physics a little closer to science. For a few seasons, the physics involved in tire stagger just didn't work.
Tire stagger can be calculated mathematically if you know the radius and banking of the turn, the track width of the car, and the circumference of the left rear tire. It is true physics, which is to say that it is a science. There is a definite tire stagger for a given car and a given track. There is not much room for deviation for driver preference or weather condition. Tire stagger (in the real world) is set per track and it's typically not adjusted much. In the iRacing world, not so much, but they seem to be getting a little closer with this build. You may be saying, "Oh but you're wrong. We run lower tire stagger on our real race car." That may be. If you actually do run a different tire stagger on your real race car than what is scientifically correct, you probably either have something else adjusted wrong to compensate for it, or maybe one or more of your input values is incorrect.
With that knowledge, we can begin to base a setup on a given tire stagger. Then we can get the car set to make decent laps. After that, we find the right cambers, gear and fuel load, then tweak the setup to get it feeling right. During the tweaking phase, I keep an eye on the right front and right rear tire temperatures. In the end, I want those temperatures pretty well balanced after ten to twenty laps at race pace (not hot lapping).
This process now works okay in iRacing, but you may find that you have to run the stagger lower than the scientific value. For this setup, it is about a quarter of an inch lower than what was calculated mathematically for this track. I still consider this to be accurate because the input values I have could be wrong. The left rear tire circumference and car track width were taken from some old information and I believe it to be correct. The turn banking was taken from either Wikipedia, iRacing, or an old Irwindale Speedway web page. If it's wrong, it's probably very close. The turn radius was measured using Google Maps. I won't get into details about how that's done, but I would say that it is accurate enough to get us within one eighth of an inch of the actual scientific tire stagger for a given car on a given race track. All in all, I would say that the scientific tire staggers shown in my tire stagger chart are now correct to within one eight of an inch, but allow one quarter inch just to be on the safe side. If the car is just too loose and nothing will get it tightened up, drop the stagger one click at a time and get it right.
In summary, tire stagger is a great place to start with your setup since it is a scientifically calculable value. Get the tire stagger set to the value, then work from there.
This setup may feel a bit loose until you get accustomed to it. The tire wear is pretty well balanced as long as you don't abuse the tires. The BIG PLUS about the correct rear tire stagger is that the car turns SO MUCH BETTER. It drives itself through the turns, and that is the purpose of tire stagger. The car turns much better and if you get the rest of the setup right, it's not really loose at all.

Today is Friday: The best day of the week; the day when the end of the week seems like it is going to be so easy and the beginning of the weekend is so exciting. This past week, I had one of the most emotional breakdowns I have ever gone through.
The transition to college is tough because it's exciting, fun, and new at the same time as being daunting, scary, and emotional.
I'm not feeling upset because of school. In fact, school takes my mind off of it. All my classes challenge me, but I enjoy them. They help me to focus on the reason why I came to college in the first place and not all the other side factors. The only problem is that although I am here for an education (which I believe I will get here), a very big part of college is social.
So my next point makes sense to me so let's put aside the fact that my PSY210 professor told me that personality tests are neither valid, nor reliable because I found this and all other tests I've taken to be quite accurate and if I want to ignorantly feel like a website is telling me about my life so that I can feel better then I will.
Now, I took one of those 16-Type personality tests yesterday. I was classified as an INFJ where I am introverted, intuitive, feeling, judging, and turbulent. Basically, I like people, but I need my alone time at the end of the day (which is tough to get when you have a roommate so let's make that emotional freakout factor #1). I am very intuitive, which I agree with wholeheartedly, meaning that I can sort of tell how a person is feeling and why. This makes me a feeler…I would say that means that I take on the burden of other people's feelings so that maybe they won't have to feel so bad. Sweet, right? No. Try exhausting (emotional freakout factor #2). I am judging and that doesn't mean what one would think it means. I'm not judgemental toward other people (not any more than the average person, of course, but not any less either). It means that I'm a control freak. I like to exert control by planning, organizing, and long-thought-out decision-making. I don't think this contributed to my emotional freakout at all…rather, I think it helps me and makes me feel better when my life is completely organized. That turbulent part means that I'll fly off the handle at any time…in other words, I have a low tolerance for stress. That is definitely factor #3 to my emotional freakout.
Aside from my personality, I left a very close church home a few months ago and I miss my friends. In addition, I miss my mommy and my sister and I had two papers due, a midterm and a final over the last week going in to next week. Those things likely contributed to stress.
After my emotional freakout, I decided I really needed some Jesus to fill my cup. I have not gone to a bible study or even a church because I don't want to be disappointed. I am in the mindset where I feel like nothing is ever going to be as good as my old church home and none of the people are going to connect with me that same way again. In a sense, this is absolutely true, but my wording is off. Instead of comparing two groups as "better" and "worse," I have been trying to think of them simply as "different."
So I built up the courage to go the a weekly bible study with the a United Methodist Church close to campus. As it turned out, the discussion didn't seem as in-depth as it did at my old church, but it was quite different in nature. All the people seemed very nice and extremely welcoming (I hate to admit it, but probably more welcoming than my old church home was when I first came a few years ago). The conversation was more bible-based and less God-based or spiritual-based, if you will. At that I was disappointed, but I realize that there have been times back home where we talked about bible stories and more logistically what God meant. For me, that isn't as fulfilling as enlightening, but I know that this group will not always talk about only that and things similar to it.
I am really trying to take a step back and open my mind because although I love dearly my church home, I am not there anymore and when it comes down to it, praying, bible study and meditation all on my own just doesn't quite cut it. I need discussion to really fill that cup to the brim with love of/for God.
This weekend, I am going home. I am going to spend some time with my mentor in hopes that I feel like all is well with me soul (as she would say), I am going to spend time with my mom and my sister, I am going to cut my hair, and I am going to take a chance to appreciate what I have at home, but approach what I have at school head-on.
I hope you all take the opportunity today to breathe deep the breath of God and feel refreshed.


text: By Dr. Anthony Policastro One of the things we have found over the years is that people who live in countries with a high fish intake tend to live longer. There are several reasons for this and most are nutritional in nature. The first reason is that fish is an excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids, which our body cannot produce on its own. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in every kind of fish. However, they are especially high in fatty fish including salmon, tuna (canned light),trout, sardines, sea bass, oysters, crab, perch, shrimp and cod. There are multiple effects of Omega-3 fatty acids and some are cardiac in nature. They can help lower blood pressure, prevent abnormal heart rhythms and reduce the chance of heart disease. Other areas can also be affected. Omega-3 fatty acids can keep brain function healthy by aiding short term memory. There is some research that has shown a decreased chance of Alzheimer's in people who eat at least one serving of fish per week compared to those who never eat fish. There is some evidence that Omega-3 fatty acids can reduce the chance of getting arthritis. Fish is also a low fat food compared to animal meats. The quality of fish protein also seems better than animal meats. Fish are rich in a variety of vitamins. These include riboflavin, which is important in several aspects of metabolism. Fish contain Vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, potassium, iodine and magnesium. Some people take all of these things in vitamin supplements but fish is a way to get them naturally. Fish is a good choice for people with diabetes.The high protein supply aids in the regulation of blood sugar. Fish is a good low calorie, high protein choice to assist in weight loss. There are some concerns about mercury levels in fish. For the average individual, it does not appear that this is much of a concern, particularly if the quantity of fish is kept at a reasonable level. The concerns about this being an issue in pregnant women are still being evaluated. Right now, the usual rule is to avoid fish when pregnant. That rule may change. One question often asked is how much fish is the right amount? Most studies have suggested that two servings a week is ideal so when you build your meal plan for the week, this is something to consider. Fish serves us well on a number of levels from a nutritional standpoint. Like any other nutritional item, we need to understand its value and use it accordingly. Fourth flu death in state Delaware's Division of Public Health reports the fourth flu death statewide of the 2010-2011 flu season occurred March 8 of a 91-year-old woman from New Castle County.

With a heart the size of Texas and exuberant personality, Bob Jaynes is the Real Deal. Folks that work with him at BIO know him as Arborist Extraordinaire and a dedicated leader. Those that meet him for the first time quickly figure out that Bob is as real is it gets; to say that he's passionate about his team and his mission would be an understatement.
When I posted my "All-In" article, Bob reached out to me and shared his perspective; it's so powerful that I feel compelled to share it with you in his own words:
"I remember the first time being asked by Jim if I was "IN" or "OUT". Jim had 3 other partners during the Texas Services years when I joined them. I worked for all 4 partners for some 8 years, plus or minus. Jim and another partner cornered me one day to let the cat out of the bag and went on to explain if I was "IN" they would be willing to make me a partner. Within 1 minute of being asked I said I'm "IN". We stayed committed to the playbook, paid our debt off and made some money."
Fast forward several years, when the Texas Services business became a division of BIO Landscape, and Bob commented:
"I was once again asked: Bob you "IN" or are ya' "OUT"? My answer was exactly the same as when asked previously. Shortly after the (change), however, I felt "man things aren't going good for me man" and they weren't business-wise at that time.
Point being, team, being "IN" is a fun place to hang out; you find a lot of winners there but it's not always an easy decision. The game of being "IN" hasn't always been easy for me and won't be for you at times either.
Remember this, once you have committed to being "IN" but want "OUT" later cause things ain't working out for you man, you are not only letting yourself down, but also the players who play for you down, including letting the entire conference for which you play down. Keep moving downfield."
Well said, Bob! Your words and your actions are The Real Deal.

Emesis Control
Nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy are among the most frequent and worst tolerated side effects of anti-cancer treatments. The evidence of the prognostic significance of the dose intensity and dose dense led researchers to develop increasingly aggressive chemotherapy schemes with ever higher doses of drugs. Vomiting is disabling and, along with alopecia, is among the most poorly tolerated side effects associated with the toxicity of chemotherapy treatments. The role of chemotherapy in metastatic disease in is to contribute to the palliation of symptoms, so aiding to improve the quality of life of patients. That is why chemotherapy treatments should not be burdened by severe toxicity, and not be themselves contributors to worsen and deteriorate the quality of life of patients. The advent of selective antagonists of subtype 3 receptors of Serotonin (5-HT3) represented a significant step forward in anti-emetic therapy, but it is still far from having completely solved the problem of vomiting. The first generation of drugs used until now (Granisetron, Ondansetron, Dolasteron) are able to yield a percentage of symptoms control close to 60-70% for highly emetic therapies. It is therefore necessary to use new drugs, or new combinations, to better control emesis.
In 2003 two new drugs were added to the anti-emetic therapy armamentarium; the U.S. FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved Palonosetron, a long acting Serotonin antagonist, and Aprepitant, an antagonist of Neurokinin-1, the first of a new class of antiemetic drugs for the treatment of nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy. Although the indications for the use of the two drugs are the same, they have distinct peculiarities.
Palonosetron is an angiotensin receptor 5-HT (3) antagonist with unique pharmacological properties that improve its therapeutic profile (high affinity binding to the receptor, longer biological half-life). In phase III studies, the Palonosteron has proven superior to Ondansetron and Dolasetron in controlling both forms of emesis, acute and delayed. Palonosetron, in addition to being indicated for the prevention of nausea and vomiting associated with the use of mid to highly emetic drugs, is also indicated in the prevention of the delayed form. The toxicity profile of Palonosetron appears to be better than that of the 5-HT3 antagonists of the first generation.
Aprepitant is an inhibitor of the receptor Neurokinin-1 (NK1) that has proved capable, in addition to 5HT3 antagonists and steroids, to improve delayed emesis by 21%. Therefore, this triplet may become the standard of care for the prevention of emesis associated with highly emetic drugs.
Decisions regarding the role of these two agents must be assessed according to national guidelines, analysis of data from literature and clinical experience of individual researchers.

Alexandria, Virginia
On the Trail of D.C.'s First Brewmaster
Sip historic beers and walk in the footsteps of the District's first brewer, Andrew Wales.
Join Atlas Obscura and Capital Beer author Garrett Peck as we raise a glass to Andrew Wales, D.C.'s first brewmaster.
In November 2015, a stunning discovery was made during the excavation for the Hotel Indigo in Old Town Alexandria: the fully intact remnants of the 1755 Town Warehouse. This building served as Alexandria's first commercial brewery (and D.C.'s, since Alexandria was part of the District until 1846) when Scottish immigrant Andrew Wales leased the space in 1770.
Our walking tour will feature Wales' three Old Town brewing sites, his long-running commercial relationship with George Washington, and rare brewing artifacts in the Alexandria Archaeology Museum.
At the end of our excursion, Catherine Portner of the newly opened Portner Brewhouse will pour three freshly brewed historic beers for us to sample. Participants must be 21 or older.
- All adventurers must be 21+ and have a valid form of ID with them.
- This location is accessible via several different bus lines. Please check WMATA's website for more information about bus routes and stops.
- Although street parking is always available, parking enforcement in Old Town is fairly strict. Your best bet is the underground parking lot under City Hall (Fairfax at Cameron). It costs just $5 for the entire day. Neither Atlas Obscura nor Garrett Peck validate parking.
- This is a 2-hour, outdoor walking tour. Please wear good walking shoes (no flip-flops or sandals) and prepare to walk on cobblestones.
- Please check the weather and dress appropriately.

Have you been ignoring the pain, redness, swelling, and irritation associated with your wisdom teeth? If the answer is yes, it is time for you to seek medical attention from the dentist in order to determine the best treatment options. More than likely, the answer is going to be you must have your wisdom teeth removed in order to address this specific issue interfering with your daily life. After the decision has been made by yourself, and the physician, it is imperative that the right oral surgeon is involved to perform the surgery. The removal of one's wisdom teeth can be very straightforward as long as everything goes according to plan. The surgery should only take between 45 minutes and 2 hours at the longest. Once the surgery is finished, if the surgeon had to remove the wisdom teeth from the gum or bone, more than likely you will be sore and notice swelling and pain, with some bleeding at the site where the surgery took place. Now, the way to quickly heal is to follow these simple steps that will help you overcome this obstacle faster.
The first thing to do is to make sure that you address the pain associated with the aftermath of the surgery. It is recommended by many to not only take the medication prescribed by the dentist for the pain, but to also add over the counter Ibuprofen in an alternating fashion. This will help you get ahead of the pain, before it gets too bad to control. Also, it is imperative that if the dentist prescribed you antibiotics in order to treat a prior infection or to prevent a future infection, that you finish the antibiotics fully, even if you feel better before the course of the antibiotics is scheduled to end.
Another important factor to remember is that with this surgery, you will notice swelling and an icepack can be your best friend during this situation. Just make sure to remember that there should be something between the ice and your skin at all times, and that you should only keep the icepack on your skin for 20 minutes at a time. Then you should remove the icepack and leave it off for at least 20-30 minutes before reapplying. The last thing one needs to add to their list is frostbite; so please follow the recommended guidelines associated with the icepack application.
Remember you just had surgery, so there will be some bleeding associated with the affected area. However, make sure that the bleeding is not excessive and that you are consistently changing the gauze and keeping the mouth area clean. Do not brush your teeth the first 24 hours; but after that time period brush your teeth gently and stay clear of the surgical area as you do not want to brush away the blood clots on the wisdom teeth incision. Remember, there are sutures in the area and they will dissolve in approximately a week.
If for some reason the swelling and pain persists longer than 5 days, or you begin to notice a fever call your physician immediately. While most of the time after wisdom teeth are removed there are no complications, it is a surgery, and thus, there are associated risks. Some of those risks include infection and dry sockets. Dry sockets occur when the blood clot is removed from the area where the wisdom teeth were extracted thus making the area vulnerable to infection. Thus, your physician will have to pack it with medicated gauze to prevent infection. If dry socket does occur it can delay your healing by several weeks. Therefore, it is imperative to follow these guidelines.
Another risk associated with surgical removal of the wisdom teeth is nerve damage. These nerves control the lips, chin, and tongue. While this is a very rare and hardly ever seen complication, it still does occur and therefore must be addressed. Sometimes the nerve damage can be temporary and most people who are affected do regain nerve sensation; there are a small fraction of the population that do have permanent nerve damage.
Remember, since you just had surgery to drink plenty of fluids; eat only soft foods, and brush gently after the first 24 hours. Follow up with your physician to make sure healing is occurring properly and treat your pain efficiently and you will be on the way to recovery in no time.

About the Book
The third volume of Odd Tangle-Hair's Saga finds our hero in Golden Miklagard (Constantinople), posing as an ambassador from the Grand Prince of Rus. But his real mission is to assassinate his former master, Harald the Ruthless, who has now risen high in the Emperor's Varangian Guard. Odd is dazzled by the brilliance of the Byzantine capital and its beating heart–the Great Palace, with the astonishing Throne of Solomon that levitates above the heads of kneeling courtiers.
Here, Odd will meet Constantine Psellus, an ambitious young bureaucrat who mentors him in the ways of the court. He will be drawn into an intrigue that involves the Empress Zoe, who spends her days brewing vats of perfume, and John the Guardian of Orphans, the powerful and sinister eunuch who schemes to advance his family. And Odd will fall in love with Selene, an alchemist's daughter, who supports herself by gambling in the waterfront taverns.
Finally, after a hard-fought campaign against the Saracens in Sicily and the overthrow of an Emperor, Odd reaches the pinnacle of power and believes he has vanquished his enemy Harald once and for all.
Then disaster overwhelms him.
Chapter 1: Golden Miklagard
The size of it! The Romans call it Constantinople, Byzantium, New Rome, or simply The city. We Norse call it Miklagard, 'Big Town.' How puny the words seem. As the late afternoon sun broke through the clouds, there lay spread out before me across the sparkling water a sight dazzling to the eyes: a series of rising terraces clothed in alabaster, acres of it--walls, columns, arches, steps, piled one atop the other and everywhere crowned with golden domes, touched to sudden life by the fire from above.
It was all true, those boasts of Leonidas, the Greek sea captain I had spent four years chained to; and I had thought he was a liar or just crazy. But no words could have prepared me for this, just as no words of mine are big enough for it now. The sight of it came like rain to my barren spirit. Curiosity and wonder--feelings I had forgotten I possessed--stirred in me again like seeds in the damp earth. To walk those avenues, to enter those cool marble towers and hear the whisper of silk along their secret corridors…
After weeks of rowing down the Dnieper and across the sea with our cargo of furs, honey, wax, caviar, and hides, the Rus fleet of a hundred river boats flanked by Greek warships, sailed past the twin guard towers and into the Golden Horn—a long, winding inlet, a kind of fjord, that divides the city proper from the hinterland. Our destination was the Harbor of Saint Mamas on the northern shore of the Horn. For only here, according to treaty, were we Rus allowed to camp. I say 'we' because I was one of them now: gospodin Churillo Igorevich of Novgorod; dressed in a fur hat with a red tassel, a long blue coat, wide striped trousers tucked into soft red leather boots, and a pigeon-blood ruby in my ear. From my belt hung a fat purse of gold and in my hand I held a letter from Yaroslav the Wise naming me his boyar and ambassador to the court of his dear 'brother' Michael, Emperor of the Romans. I was empowered to negotiate a marriage for his daughter Yelisaveta—a marvel of beauty, prudence, and affability—with some lucky Greek princeling. Needless to say, all this had been concocted by Ingigerd without `Wise' Yaroslav being any the wiser. She counted on rumor of my business reaching Harald's ears, wherever he might be, and bringing him out in the open. Then all I had to do was kill him.
All along the quay our boats-- dugouts hollowed from a single giant tree trunk—were tying up and unlading in front of a crowd of curious onlookers. The Greeks never tired of watching us—we fearsome, shaggy savages of the North, who three times in their history had attacked them from the sea and nearly captured their city. For this reason, though our trade goods were welcome, we were closely guarded, confined to one region of the city, and disarmed before being allowed ashore.
"Eh? Eh? Odd Tang—excuse me, Churillo…" Stavko winked hugely, laughed with a spray of saliva, and shook his head so that the lead balls swung at the ends of his greasy braids. The slave trader was to be my guide, my minder, my go-between with Ingigerd. "Eh? Does Stavko exaggerate? You are impressed?"
I wouldn't tell him so. The man gave me the shivers. He clapped me on the shoulder, then quickly pulled back his hand, seeing me wince. "Sorry, gospodin. How is wound?"
We had sailed into a Pecheneg ambush on the river a week ago and I'd taken an arrow in my right shoulder. It was still plenty sore and I couldn't raise my arm above my head.
"Well, gospodin, I go see to the gifts. Such treasures we are bringing to Emperor! Then we—"
"I say, who's in charge here?" The words were in heavily accented Slavonic. "I'm looking for your, ah, voi—voivode." He stumbled over the word for commander. I looked around the crowd to see who had spoken and saw a slender young man—nineteen or twenty, I guessed—pushing his way through the crowd with a couple of soldiers in tow. His skin was olive, his eyes black under heavy brows that met in the middle; his head was round as a nut and covered with short brown bristles that extended downward over his cheeks, chin, and throat. His ears were large. He had a twitchy expression that reminded me of a squirrel. He was clearly some sort of official: his collar, belt, and cape indicated that much, even to a stranger like me.
Vyshata Ostromirovich, who was our commodore, turned round and looked down on the little fellow. "Who by the Devil's mother are you? They send me someone new?"
"Constantine Psellus, sir, Office of Barbarians …"
"Whoever." Vyshata turned away to scream abuse at a couple of sailors who had dropped a cask of mead."
The young man scowled, bounced on the balls of his feet, looked around for someone else to address. Behind his back one soldier grinned at the other. I stepped forward and introduced myself in Greek.
"What? A barbarian speaks our language?" He blinked in surprise.
"I do, sir." (Calling him kyrios in Greek, as Leonidas had taught me to do.) "Of a rough sort, anyway. I am Prince Yaroslav's ambassador, come to offer the hand of his daughter to a suitable noble youth."
"What's that? We had no idea, no one told us you were coming."
"I think it was a sudden decision."
He scowled again—to cover his nervousness, I supposed. A junior official suddenly confronted with a situation above his pay grade. "Well, the Logothete must be informed at once and you will accompany me to the hostel, the ambassadors' lodgings."
"Gladly," I smiled and we gripped forearms. For such a small fellow his grip was surprisingly strong. And that is how I met Psellus, who would change my life.
"Have you a man servant?" he asked.
I indicated Piotr, who was standing nearby, with his hair, as usual, in his eyes.
"Then come along both of you." Psellus plunged into the crowd without looking back. It was a characteristic of his that I came to know well: he bustled everywhere as though he were perpetually late for an appointment. A young man in a hurry, I thought to myself. He led us to a small boat, very prettily painted, that was tied up some distance down the quay. The rowers raised their oars in salute when they saw us approaching.
"We're crossing the Horn," Psellus called over his shoulder. The hostel is near the Great Palace."
Well, this is progress, thought I to myself. And how long will it be before I cross swords with Harald?
Just then a chill wind ruffled the surface of the water and a shiver ran through me. Of excitement—or fear?

Waves and Wheels Wraps Up Skater 478 V-Bottom Interior
"This was a project we've always dreamed of really," said Wagner, who founded Waves and Wheels in 2001. "It was a blank canvas; it was literally ours to create. We fabricated everything in the boat and handled the audio, the lighting, the upholstery and the seat design. The project is even more awesome to me because it's the first one with our new stand-up bolsters—the WW16 SU. We also have a sit-down version , the WW16 SD, that we are going to install in our shop's 46-foot Skater project boat.
"We're very proud of the new seats and the way the whole boat came together," Wagner continued. "The owner and the team at Skater seemed pleased with it and that's all that really matters. I can't wait for the public to see the finished product. It was definitely a challenge, but it was a challenge everyone here enjoyed. I say everyone because there wasn't one person on our team who didn't touch the boat."
Wagner admitted the team was a little off its 10-week completion estimation, but he said the owner was extremely impressed with the overall design as a whole as well as the Waves and Wheels and Focal-powered audio system featuring eight 7-inch speakers, two 10-inch subwoofers, two FDP Focal amplifiers and a Fusion head unit.
The 47-footer was delivered to Douglas last week and the rigging has begun on the boat, which was painted in-house and is going to be powered by twin Mercury Racing 1100 engines.
"The boat looks awesome, those guys did a great job," said Tony Cutsuries, Skater's national sales manager. "We're happy with the quality and the turnaround time. Justin and his team were real easy to work with, too."

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Harry Potter is going Hollywood with a new theme park based at Universal Studios, NBCUniversal and film studio Warner Bros. said on Tuesday.
"The Wizarding World of Harry Potter" will be built inside Universal Studios Hollywood and feature attractions that are similar to the Potter theme park opened in June 2010 at Universal's resort in Orlando, Florida.
The new theme park could take 3-4 years to build and is likely to cost several hundred million dollars.
The two companies — Universal runs the theme parks and Warner Bros. owns the rights to the "Harry Potter" movies — also announced that the "Wizarding World" in Florida would be expanded.
The Hollywood park will be centered around a huge Hogwarts castle and feature rides and other attractions based on the adventures of the popular British boy wizard and his friends.
Author J.K Rowling's "Harry Potter" book series have sold some 450 million copies worldwide and the eight movies from the Warner Bros. studios have taken more than $7.7 billion at global box-offices, making Harry Potter the largest-grossing film franchise in history.
Officials did not say how many of the Florida rides would make their way to the Hollywood park, nor did they say if any new rides were envisaged. But they said the new attraction would be created with the same commitment to authenticity with the books and movies as the one in Florida.
Warner Bros. chairman Barry Meyer called Tuesday's announcement "probably the best holiday gift we could give to the legions of Harry Potter fans worldwide."
"Everyone involved with these projects is committed to continuing the enchantment of J.K. Rowling's masterful books as they were brought to life on screen in our eight films and dedicated to extending the magic of the experience for generations of fans to come," Meyer said.

Ex-hubby stopped paying spousal supportAll Woman Monday, January 29, 2018
Dear Mrs Macaulay,
I am currently divorced, but awaiting a decree absolute. However, I was granted spousal support which my husband has only paid over once. The ruling was made in 2010. What can I do?
I note that you say you are divorced, but if the decree absolute has not in fact been granted, you are definitely not divorced. It would mean that you have only been granted the decree nisi, which has to be made absolute for your marriage to have been dissolved. When you are merely in position of a decree nisi, neither you nor your husband can marry anyone else, but once the decree has been made absolute, you can go off and marry whomever you wish.
You also say that you were granted, I assume from an application to the court, a maintenance order by which your husband should provide some specified sum of support for you. You say he has only ever paid the sum once and yet the order was made in 2010. What were you doing all these years when he failed to make these ordered payments? Why were you sleeping on your rights and entitlement and why did you permit so many years to pass? You have clearly indicated by your inaction that you did not need these sums from your husband in order to survive. What has changed now?
If, as you say, the decree absolute is still outstanding, then you have time to make an application for your maintenance order to be reinstated, and you will have to convince the court by your affidavit in support that you really are in need of his contribution. You could also add an application for an order that he should pay the outstanding sums of maintenance due to you which he failed to pay over the years, and again state and prove that you are in dire need of these funds.
Of course, it must be stated that your husband acted in breach of the court order by his failure, and therefore was in contempt of the court. You could have applied during the period for him to be committed to prison for his failure to obey the order, and he would still have to pay you the outstanding sums. I cannot guarantee that the court will simply make an order for your husband to pay you the outstanding sums, since you sat on your right for so many years, which only says to everyone that you didn't need the money then.
Since you caused so much time to pass, you will have the burden of convincing the court to act against him for his breach of the order and act in your favour.
I should also tell you that the Matrimonial Causes Act provides that a spouse can make an application for maintenance even after the decree absolute has been granted, but only within 30 days of its date of grant.
I would suggest that you quickly retain the services of a lawyer to advise and guide you in this matter, and to assist you with the grant of the decree absolute. I wish you luck.

Ultra Low Range Pressure Measuremenet
The DP850 Series has been a leader for the true measurement of ultra low differential pressures. The variable reluctance method of transduction utilized in the designs is one of the few methods to allow the direct measurement of ultra low pressures. With this method one does not need the overamplification of sensor signals, hence contributing greatly to system stability and accuracy.
The pressure sensing element is a stainless steel diaphragm clamped between case halves of the same material, in a symmetrical assembly. Pick-off coils imbedded in the case halves sense deflection of the diaphragm in response to applied pressure. Self-contained electronics provide excitation to the pick-off coils and translate diaphragm movement into either a 4-20 mA current loop signal or a 0-5Vdc output for convenient use in any systems application.

CFS - Technical Information Sheets - Chemistry - Lachrymator
Technical Information Sheets
Lachrymator Analysis Information – PDF, 25 kb
Lachrymators such as pepper spray, tear gas and mace are chemical substances that induce watering and involuntary closure of the eyes and may also cause coughing, and burning of the skin. In an aerosol dispenser, a lachrymator is usually dissolved in a solvent and compressed in a canister with a propellant (pressurized gas). When a lachrymator dispenser is activated, a stream of liquid containing the lachrymator is ejected.
Examination and Interpretation
Lachrymator examination involves chemical analysis of the contents from an aerosol dispenser or the identification of lachrymator(s) from a stain on clothing or any other item.
The dispenser is evaluated by depressing the trigger to determine if it is operational. The aerosol dispenser may be inoperable if any part of it is damaged, or if the solvent or propellant used in the dispenser is spent. The contents of an aerosol dispenser are analysed using Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). The concentration of the lachrymator in an aerosol dispenser is not determined during analysis.
Items such as clothing or swabs that may contain a lachrymator are examined for staining. Most commercially available pepper sprays leave orange-brown stains however, some lachrymators are colourless and leave no visible spray pattern. The stains are cut out and extracted using a solvent and identified using GC/MS.
Operational Lachrymator Dispenser
Any device capable of forcibly dispensing a lachrymator. Common lachrymators include pepper spray, tear gas (CS) and mace (CN). The solvent in the dispenser may be identified during analysis.
Capsaicin (CAP) and Dihydrocapsaicin (DHC)
Are lachrymator compounds found in pepper spray dispensers. The CAP and DHC in pepper spray typically come from oleoresin capsicum (OC). OC is an extract of hot peppers. Condiment hot-sauces such as "Tabasco" may also contain CAP and DHC.
Chloroacetophenone (CN)
The lachrymator commonly referred to as mace.
Ortho-chlorobenzalmalononitrile (CS)
The lachrymator commonly referred to tear gas. CS may also be referred to as ortho-chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile.
Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS)
A standard analytical technique that separates the components of a sample and allows for their identification.

Thank You AXIS
While browsing the year-end threads here in the design section, I realized that organizing all of that stuff had to be a lot of work. Having been the design mod for a while myself I understand the deceptive amount of time and effort it takes to keep this section running smoothly,
at the level of style and professionalism AXIS has brought to CSS's design section. It can be frustrating at times, given few entries and weak voting participation, but AXIS has done an incredible job of not just keeping things on pace, but really raising the bar. The Design Studio is the reason I joined CSS, and will always be special to me, so it's heartening to see someone taking such good care of it in spite of what has been, at times, lackluster participation (including on my own part). So while most of us have, at various times, shown our appreciation for his efforts, I just wanted to again say a big thank you to AXIS for all of his hard work. I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say that you're doing an excellent job, and I look forward to the innovative new ideas you have in store for this year!

The 2017 F1 season resumes in Belgium this weekend with all eyes on Lewis Hamilton as he continues his chase of Sebastian Vettel at the head of the standings.
Currently second and 14 points in arrears of the German, Hamilton is bidding for a sixth victory of 2017 at this week's F1 host track, Spa-Francorchamps, in his Brackley-based Mercedes.
The venue has played host to many great races over the years, and is well-loved by all of the Grand Prix drivers. The track offers a true high-speed test as its layout climbs and falls through the Ardennes forest.
Hamilton, who will start the 200th race of his F1 career on Sunday, said: "It is great to be back on-track again, and now after a summer break I feel ready to challenge for the title again.
"All the guys from the team are looking forward to the second half of the campaign and this week in Spa will be the first of nine races that conclude the season."
The title race is currently headed by Vettel, and his team Ferrari were making headlines earlier this week when they announced that Kimi Raikkonen would be staying on for 2018.
"The team have retained Kimi Raikkonen for next season," confirmed Marc Gene. "I am sure we will see Kimi on the top step of the podium before the end of the season, and everyone at Ferrari is working hard for the title."
Valtteri Bottas, driver of the second Mercedes and who is still clinging onto the title race in third, said: "Spa is one of the world's best tracks and I am really looking forward to racing there.
"I think the track will suit the Mercedes, as will Monza, so I am optimistic of a good result in both races."
Sergio Perez is close to extending his deal to remain with Silverstone-based Sahara Force India for 2018, and the Mexican will lead the team's attack in Belgium this weekend.
Esteban Ocon (pictured) will drive the second Force India, the French youngster having scored points in all but one race of a highly impressive debut season.
He said: "Spa is the highlight of the season for many drivers, and I must say the thought of racing a Grand Prix car here is very exciting. It would be great to score a good result here and it is a track that has been good to this team previously."
Finally, Carlos Sainz Jr. and Daniil Kvyat resume driving duties in the the part Bicester-based Toro Rossos.
Currently powered by Renault engines, it had been suggested that the Red Bull-owned Toro Rosso team may switch to Honda powerplants for the 2018 season but within the last week it appears as if this move is now off of the agenda.
After the three practise sessions on Friday and Saturday, qualifying for the Belgium Grand Prix starts at 1pm on Saturday afternoon with the race 24 hours later.
