The smug leftist blog Talking Points Memo claimed yesterday that, "The loudest and most boisterous protesters at the tea party rally weren't anti-Obama conservatives, but were instead Obama supporters who crashed the event with a huge banner reading "Thank You For Our Tax Cuts, President Obama."
Really? These guys were louder and more boisterous than the thousands of tea partiers who attended yesterday's event in DC? Watch the video and decide for yourselves, but to me it looks like a handful of Obamanoids shouting wildly inaccurate slogans at largely disinterested people.
TPM posted the video under a headline which read, "Obama Fans Storm Tax Day Tea Party In D.C." Hardly a storm, I would argue, and more of a drizzle.
The Obamanoids' argument that their dear leader has not raised taxes and has in fact overseen tax cuts for 95 per cent of Americans is a clever exercise in spin, and it completely ignores the fact that the administration is preparing to implement nearly $1 trillion in new taxes over the next 10 years, not to mention the colossal taxes that are contained within Obamacare.
As ABC News' Jake Tapper (hardly a right-wing tea partier) reported shortly after Obama took office, "President Obama's budget proposes $989 billion in new taxes over the course of the next 10 years, starting fiscal year 2011, most of which are tax increases on individuals."
These include eliminating itemized deductions, hiking capital gains tax, as well as curtailing tax cuts already in place.
In addition, the beast that is Obamacare will help the administration to "spread the wealth" by "taxing the rich," which in reality means the middle class, by hitting "higher earners," ie anyone who can actually maintain a decent standard of living, with an array of tax increases which will further economically cripple Americans already laboring under the worst financial crisis since the great depression.
As Bloomberg News reported, analysis by the nonpartisan congressional Joint Committee on Taxation revealed that the bill would generate $409.2 billion in additional taxes by 2019. Bear in mind, this is on top of the near $1 trillion in other new taxes that comprise Obama's budget over the next 10 years.
In addition, the Congressional Budget Office states that the bill also levies almost $69 billion more in penalties for those who fail to meet mandates to buy insurance.

Obamacare will impose dozens of new taxes that will totally eviscerate any remaining disposable income of millions of Americans and in turn lead the economy to ruin. Read a run down of the details of just some of those new taxes here.
And what of the so-called "tax cuts" for 95 per cent of Americans that Obamanoids claim tea partiers should be thankful for?
As the Wall Street Journal outlined in October 2008, the Obama "tax cuts" are little more than a cynical ploy.
"It's a clever pitch, because it lets him pose as a middle-class tax cutter while disguising that he's also proposing one of the largest tax increases ever on the other 5%. But how does he conjure this miracle, especially since more than a third of all Americans already pay no income taxes at all? There are several sleights of hand, but the most creative is to redefine the meaning of "tax cut," wrote the WSJ.
As the American Power Blog summarizes, the "tax cuts" for 95% is just a gimmick, Americans have not been allowed to keep more of what they earn, but have merely been offered seven "tax credits," only one of which exclusively applies to people who actually pay any income tax.
"Here's the political catch," explains the WSJ. "All but the clean car credit would be "refundable," which is Washington-speak for the fact that you can receive these checks even if you have no income-tax liability. In other words, they are an income transfer — a federal check — from taxpayers to nontaxpayers. Once upon a time we called this "welfare," or in George McGovern's 1972 campaign a "Demogrant." Mr. Obama's genius is to call it a tax cut."
So the vast majority of Obama's "tax cuts" are merely transfers of wealth from taxpayers to those on low income and non-taxpayers, the kind of people who voted for Obama because they thought he would pay for their gas and mortgage.
As another video from one of yesterday's tea party rallies reveals, Obamanoids are completely clueless when it comes to the gargantuan amount of new taxes that are in the pipeline, an assault which will completely devastate the middle class in America, the precise reason why millions of concerned Americans hit the streets across the country yesterday.
By the way, the ultimate turmeric and inflammatory support Bodease is back in stock at 40% off!

Can commodities survive a stronger US dollar?
The latest insight from our multi-asset team focuses on the relationship between the greenback and commodity prices.
Conventional wisdom is that the US dollar has a strong influence on commodity prices. The explanation for this relationship is that since commodities are priced in dollar terms, then commodity prices must move lower when the dollar strengthens to reflect its increased purchasing power.
After the 2008 global financial crisis there has indeed been a very strong inverse relationship between commodities and the US dollar, as shown by the correlation chart in Figure 1 below.
Figure 1: Rolling 3 year correlation between Broad Commodity Index and USD Index monthly returns
Source: Schroders, Bloomberg, 10 March 2015
However, this has not always been the case. Prior to the financial crisis, the correlation was much less obvious.
For example, during the boom years of the 1990s there was almost no relationship between the US dollar and commodity prices.
Then, in the recovery after the dotcom bubble bursting from 2003-2006, the relationship weakened again.
Environment determines commodity impact
We therefore reject the gross simplification that all you need to know to have a view on commodities is the direction of the dollar. It does, however, help if you can identify which type of dollar environment you are in.
Looking at the period from 1990 to 2015, 61% of the time there was a negative correlation between US dollar and commodities, and 39% a positive correlation.
This 39% can be further subdivided into 23% for both commodities and US dollar rising, and 16% both US dollar and commodities falling.
Figure 2 highlights in green those periods where we have both rising US dollar and commodities; the periods of both falling are highlighted in red.
Figure 2: Broad Commodity Index and correlation regimes
Source: Schroders, Bloomberg, 10 March 2015
Generally speaking, during Federal Reserve rate-hiking cycles we see a positive correlation regime where both the dollar and commodities rose together.
The greatest concentration of green observations occurs in these periods: June 1996 – March 1997, March 1999 – January 2000 and June 2003 – December 2005. These were periods of both rising interest rates and stronger growth.
Commodities braced for tightening cycle
We are approaching a tightening cycle in the US and this is likely to result in a continued strengthening of the dollar.
If this is associated with continued positive economic growth then both the US dollar and commodities can go up.
In the event that tightening is a policy mistake, or it exerts so much pressure on emerging market economies that we enter an emerging market crisis phase (slowing growth and exacerbating the demand for the US dollar) then commodities are likely to suffer.

The crowning achievement of Google's budding social network by far is the ability to communicate with up to nine other people across the world instantly, and for free. Since the arrival of Hangouts, Google+ users have done everything from communicate casually to conduct trans-continental business meetings. There's no limit to what those nine people can do, or how long they can do it. To make things even better, users can even enter a Hangout from an Android or iOS device, be that a tablet or a phone.
If you are an active Google+ user, you may consider how well your next device performs in a Hangout as a tie breaker when choosing your next gadget. Over the last week, we've gathered the top devices across manufacturers, operating systems, and mobile networks and put them all to the test. So, what is the best phone or tablet for a Google+ Hangout?
NEON VS Non-NEON
On paper, most of the hardware required for a Hangout is the same across most of the smartphones capable of joining the Hangout. For the most part, you'd think that the better camera, or the higher quality microphone setup would be the qualities you would look for in terms of what would be best for a Hangout. At the core, what you are really looking for is a chipset that supports hardware acceleration, specifically for video. This architecture type is called NEON. A device with NEON architecture enhances video encoding or decoding, graphics in things like games, and image/speech processing. NEON devices will handle Hangouts much better than non-NEON devices.
If you have an iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S, your device supports the NEON architecture. For Android devices, you'll need to do some checking to see if it is supported. Using either a file manager on your device, locate a file called /proc/cpuinfo and open it. If you are unable to access this file from your phone, you can download the Android SDK and access the file using the Android Debug Bridge. If you see the word neon on the Features line, then your device supports NEON extensions.
To measure which device performed the best overall in a Hangout, each device was put through a series of tests. Each device was tested indoors and outdoors in a variety of situations including wind, conversations happening in the background, multiple people addressing the Hangout, and alone in a quiet room. Conversations in the Hangout were also measured for quality consistency. Each of the devices were tested individually, and each of them were tested in as similar a fashion as possible.
This test yielded several interesting results. HTC and Samsung devices of the same generation performed almost identically, with a single exception. The results from the Samsung Galaxy Nexus in a Hangout were wildly varied. In some tests, the results would be great, while in practically identical situations the Galaxy Nexus was nearly unusable. Motorola's two most recent devices, the Droid 4 and the Droid Razr, also showed a significant variety in results. Despite being the newest in their lineup, the Droid 4 was by far one of the worst performing devices in every situation.
When comparing the iPhone to the Android batch, the iPhone 4S performed well above most of the Android devices, but struggled with noise cancellation in most situations. If there was wind or other people talking, the phone was often unable to handle the distortion and the audio would suffer. The phone that performed best out of the devices tested was the Samsung Galaxy Note. The high resolution of the screen allowed for a very clear and very large image of the other users in the Hangout, while the microphone placements on the device allowed for sound cancellation and external noise suppression.
The birth of the mobile OS inside a larger glass slab gives us access to devices that we can both set in a stand on our desk to admire, as well as take with us anywhere. Unfortunately, when it comes to hardware, most of these tablets really are just giant phones. Because of this, the Hangout experience on a tablet is typically the same as the experience on the phone. In most cases, the front facing cameras and the microphones are even the same as what is seen in their phone counterparts. Still, as more tablets are sold every day, it is important to know which delivers the best experience.
As with the phones, the current generation of devices outperformed the previous generation, with a few outliers. The HTC Flyer, having recently been upgraded to Honeycomb, took a serious performance hit when the upgrade happened, leaving the device much slower and seriously affecting the quality of things like Hangouts. The Motorola Xoom running Android 4.0 would load the hangout quickly, but the quality of the video and audio made it seem like the tablet was constantly in a bathtub. The Xyboard and the Galaxy Tab 10.1 were the best of the Android Tablets, but neither handled background noise very well.
The tablet that performed the best in every situation was the iPad 2. The lack of an LTE radio in the iPad 2 makes Hangouts outside less than great if the Hangout is full, though aside from not being able to filter out wind the iPad still outperformed the others by a healthy margin.
Final Thoughts
Whether you are a casual user, or someone who has decided to make the service part of your daily routine, Hangouts will continue to play an active role in Google+. There are plenty of services out there that offer bits and pieces of what is being offered by Hangouts, but none so far have been able to compete with the stability and quality found in this service. Over the next year we will start to see faster processors, better front facing cameras, possibly even LTE for Apple devices, and that is going to further shape how Hangouts are being used. With that in mind, it is not hard to see when someone would want their next gadget to be "Hangout ready".

The dusting of snow we got yesterday evening didn't amount to much, but it's a reminder of what may be in our near future. Winter is here and we're likely to face shoveling our sidewalks soon.
Shoveling your sidewalk — whether you're a homeowner or a business owner — has always been required by law. But last week, our district councilwoman Donna Reed Miller proposed an update to the snow shoveling ordinance that was passed by City Council.
The new law requires property owners to clear at least a three-foot-wide path of snow and ice within six hours of the time snow stops falling.
Those shovel-wide little paths are not going to cut it anymore. In case you're wondering, fines for failing to clear snow and ice are currently set at between $100 and $300.
The new ordinance reads as follows:
§10-720. Snow Removal from Sidewalks.
(1) The owner, agent and tenants of any building or premises shall clear a path of not less than 36 inches in width on all sidewalks abutting the building or premises within 6 hours after the snow has ceased to fall. The path shall be thoroughly cleared of snow and ice. Where the width of any pavement measured from the property line to the curb is less than 3 feet, the path cleared may be only 12 inches in width. When the building in question is a multifamily dwelling the owner or his agent shall be responsible for compliance with the requirements of this Section.

Hey guys,
tl;dr version: How would you teach a 25 year old girl, who has never taken a programming course, the basics of programming? I'm afraid she won't stay interested in the traditional, text-only approach, so I think I'm going to use Processing, but I'm not exactly sure how just yet. You can skip the rest of this description if you don't want the background.
I know this question has been discussed over and over again, and I've heard answers ranging from "it can't be done" to "use this specific language for these specific reasons". But I've been tasked with a challenge of sorts, and I wanted to get your feedback, as fellow Java programmers.
A friend of mine (she graduated with a degree in psychology and is now going to grad school to learn how to teach kids how to read) recently asked that I teach her how to program ("teach me your nerds", is actually what she said). I think she pretty much just wants a conversational knowledge of programming, so that she can actually have a conversation with me about what I'm doing when I'm sitting in front of the computer for hours. I'm going to translate that and set a goal of teaching her the basics of setting up, writing, and running a program, as well as variables, if statements, and for loops. If she's still interested after that, I can think about more advanced topics.
She knows the basics of how to work a computer, but somehow I don't think she'll stay interested if I teach her using traditional methods (notepad, command prompt, print out some squares or some prime numbers). Therefore, I think I've decided to use Processing, for the reasons outlined here: http://www.javaprogrammingforums.com...rocessing.html. Basically, I'm going to start her out with an applet and a game loop, and have her work entirely in the paint method. I know there are pros and cons to that, but I really doubt I can keep a 25 year old girl interested in printing out the Fibonacci sequence.
So, I guess I have two questions: first of all, is my thinking flawed? Is it possible to teach programming without going the traditional route? Should I stick with the basic text-only interface most of us started with? Or is it worth the extra effort to have interesting stuff on the screen to keep her interested?
Secondly, how would you do this? I figure I'll have a couple hours before we both get bored with it, so how would you organize your lesson plan to fit everything in? And how do you really drill home the concepts? I can show her if statements and for loops, but how do I teach her how to actually use them?

Bake the Book: Seriously Chocolate Pecan Cookies
Get the Recipe
Sometimes a simple cookie is enough to satisfy. The Joy of Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free Baking's version, filled with chopped pecans, is a suitable indulgence.
Tips: The convenient thing about Splenda is it can be substituted 1:1 for sugar. So if Splenda's not your style, substitute with 2 cups of sugar and leave out the liquid stevia, or use a touch of honey in its place.
Tweaks: Deepen the flavor of these cookies by using a little heat. Toast the pecans before you chop them, brown the butter once it's melted, and stir a little cinnamon in the batter. Add up to half a tablespoon if you're feeling sassy. The batter should be thick and sticky.

North Lake Now Staff
Showing now in the North Lake Central Campus Art Gallery is the 2016 Spotlight Show, featuring student artwork by Ian Grieve, Allison Garza, Julia Cartwright, Veronica Cumbie and Clayton Oliver (featured to the left). This diverse collection of work will run from Aug. 20-Sept. 15.
A reception for the artists was held Tuesday, Sept. 6, in the gallery.
About the Show: The annual NLC Student Spotlight Show features artwork created by a group of students selected by the college's art faculty. Selected students sign up for classes and throughout the summer learn about gallery practices, the why, how, where and when of art making, as well as the ups and downs of the various processes. Upon completion of their respective classes, the group then self selects the pieces that will be shown in the Spotlight, learns how to install them, and designs their own announcement card. Each student also develops an artist statement and resume.

IRVING - Tony Romo had a Peyton Manning comparison dropped on him by his owner in the offseason.
Jerry Jones was talking about meeting rooms and film rooms when he said the Dallas quarterback would be putting in "Peyton Manning-type time" after he signed the richest contract in franchise history.
It's a good thing Jones didn't say anything about Peyton Manning-type statistics. So far this year, nobody compares.
Manning has the Denver Broncos at 4-0 with 16 touchdown passes and no interceptions heading into his first game at the Cowboys' $1.2 billion stadium Sunday.
Romo has just one interception, but his offense has been hit-or-miss in a 2-2 start.
"I think you've got to just play each play out, regardless of circumstance, what gives your team the best chance to score and to win the game," said Romo, who has eight touchdown passes and is fourth in the league in quarterback rating. "And then obviously, when it gets to a certain point in the game, you're going to have to do things to give your team a chance."
The best chance for the Cowboys is to keep scoring, which they didn't do in a loss at San Diego last weekend. Romo threw a pair of second-quarter touchdowns to Dez Bryant, but those were the only points for the offense. The Chargers scored the last 20 points in a 30-21 win.
Part of the problem was Dallas didn't have the ball much after halftime. But the other part of the problem was stalling twice around midfield in the second half. The Cowboys probably can't afford to do that with Manning's Broncos averaging nearly 45 points.
"You've got to do things to keep drives alive and take advantage of your opportunities," Dallas tight end Jason Witten said.
Dallas coach Jason Garrett has been deflecting the criticism for months, but always stopping short of offering many details on how much Romo's involvement has changed. Garrett, once the backup to Troy Aikman in Dallas, was the offensive coordinator for Romo's first full season as a starter in 2007, and they've been together ever since.
"I don't know that it's appreciably different, but the idea is that we are really as a team trying to emphasize that and ... empower him to do that more and more," Garrett said. "You want him to like the plays you are calling into his helmet so he can go play his best football."
With Romo more involved and Bill Callahan replacing Garrett as the play-caller, the offense is heavily dissected every week.
This week, the questions revolve around whether Dallas can sustain anything - and whether they can exploit the only weakness in Denver's stats so far. The Broncos are close to the bottom of the league in pass defense.
"I think probably the reason that the pass numbers aren't quite as good as they'd want them to be is because they've been way ahead in ballgames and teams have to throw the ball over and over and over again," Garrett said. "They're willing to give up those yards to win the ballgame."
Opponents just have a hard time keeping up with - and comparing to - Manning.
Jones tied his quarterback to Manning with the offseason mantra that Romo would be more involved in everything about the Cowboys.
It started with a statement from Jones the day Romo signed a six-year, $108 million extension in March and the owner said his quarterback would have a lot more involvement in the offense. A few later, he offered the "Peyton Manning-type time" sound bite.
Critics took it to mean Romo wasn't invested enough in the first place, and the Cowboys have been trying to shoot that down ever since.
They didn't have to make their pitch to Manning.
"Look, every quarterback that is starting in this league multiple years puts in time," Manning said. "I feel like I do what I need to do to get ready to play. But any quarterback who is a starter year after year, I promise you they're putting the work in in the facility on their own. Otherwise, it shows up and you lose your job."

jQuery Plugin
Our jQuery plugin fb.wall was a nice plugin to display the Facebook Wall of a user or a page on your website. The design of the wall derives from the Facebook look'n'feel and can be customized easily via CSS. We developed fb.wall in 2010 and our plugin became very popular all over the world.
Since 2010 Facebook changed their Graph API a lot of times, they added server request limits and the need of access tokens. With a pure JavaScript solution it was not possible to provide access tokens in a safe way. Therefore we developed neosmart STREAM.
neosmart STREAM is the offical successor of fb.wall
It's a mighty plugin to display your Facebook newsfeed. We added Twitter and WordPress Support, we added an internal cache and we developed an easy-to-use admin area. neosmart STREAM is free and you can use it for your personal or commercial website. The download, themes, documentation and our forum you find on:

- The interest rate can either be variable or fixed.
- All documentation is prepared by bond counsel. All parties are represented by their respective counsel.
- Bank Qualified Bank Direct tax-exempt revenue bond issuance expenses include bond counsel and sometimes a financial advisor. These fees may be financed through the bonds up to certain limits.

Eligible Uses
Capital projects with improvements to the facility in the range of $500,000 to about $2 million

Complete an online application here, or to request a printed application please call (612) 673-5072. Applicants should also include:
- financial statements for the past two years and any interim statements
- appraisals and environmental reports about the proposed project
A City staff person will handle your loan application from initial inquiry through post-closing monitoring.
The complete public approval process takes about 45-60 days after the application is received, if a bank has committed to purchasing the bonds.
The City approves bank direct loans based on the public purpose served, such as preserving and creating jobs, increasing the real estate tax base, and providing community services.
All programs and guidelines are subject to change without notice.

Exclusive to Skin Essentials: CryoPen blemish removal
Skin blemishes such as sun spots, skin tags and warts on the face, hands and body are very common and we often find them embarrassing when they are in a visible place. You can now have them treated and removed here at Skin Essentials with our CryoPen skin perfector system. Most blemishes require only a single treatment lasting just seconds (unless very large).
CryoPen is an incredibly accurate application of nitrous oxide applied to the blemish with pin-point precision under high pressure, which destroys the tissue of the lesion only, leaving surrounding healthy tissue unaffected. The lesion then fades away over the course of the next 4-12 weeks
What can we treat?
- Sun spots/Age spots
- Skin tags
- Seborrheic warts
- Cherry Angiomas
Does it hurt?
You will experience a stinging sensation from the cold gas which may last for a few minutes to a few hours after treatment – that's it!
Flat brown patches, small and medium skin tags, red spots:
- €75 per single lesion removal
- €40 for each additional blemish removed in the same session.
- €40 for follow-up treatment on the same lesion if necessary.
Most brown spots and skin tags need just one treatment, warts and large skin tags may need follow up treatment.
Warts, larger brown patches & large skin tags:
- From €95 per lesion. Exact pricing and discounts on multiple removals will be determined at your consultation.
The consultation process takes 15 minutes and is necessary to assess the suitability of each client for the treatment.
The consultation costs €25 and this is fully redeemable off your treatment when booked within 3 months.
Video demos:
Short Wave Diathermy for red veins and tiny lesions:
At Skin Essentials we can also quickly and easily treat thread veins on the face using short wave diathermy, a tiny energy current delivered along an extremely fine metal probe. This method can also be used for treating multiple tiny skin tags, blood spots or milia.
Facial Thread Veins
These have many causes such as exposure, ageing and smoking. Very often seen in a celtic skin type.
Red veins respond very well to this treatment with single or few broken capillaries taking only one session to treat.
Multiple veins will be treated over several sessions for your comfort.
These bright red vascular spots are found in men and women usually over 30, these are commonly seen on the trunk and chest but can sometimes appear in other areas.
A single treatment only is required for complete removal of each one.
Small round, keratin-filled bumps which are found just under the skin of the face, usually around the cheekbones. These can be easily treated in one or two sessions.
Skin Tags
Very common on the neck, trunk and underarm areas, these can appear flesh coloured, red or brown. They vary in size from a tiny blemish to the size of a pea in most cases. Small tags are removed in a single session, larger ones may take a second treatment.
Most blemishes are treated instantaneously and results can be seen straight away, especially in the case of red veins and blood spots.
Milia and skin tags take a few days to disappear after treatment.
Skin can be red and sensitive after treatment for a few hours to a couple of days.
If more than one session will be needed, a treatment plan will be advised at your initial consultation including treatment time, spacing and cost.
The consultation process takes 15 minutes and is necessary to assess the suitability of each client for the treatment.
The consultation costs €25 and this is fully redeemable off your treatment when booked within 3 months.
Treatment price: Cost is on a per-treatment basis with a minimum charge of €35 per single blemish removal and a maximum of €80 per multi-blemish removal session. (up to 15 mins).

The Perfecter – Diathermy facial
I am SUPER excited to let you know about The Perfecter – my latest treatment created with busy people like you in mind.
For the first time it is possible to have your anti-ageing skin treatment in combination with diathermy removal of red veins and milia.
This is a truly complete facial that targets ALL of your skin issues in a single visit to Skin Essentials.
Merging three essential anti-ageing and complexion correction elements together for the first time, this treatment is exclusive to Skin Essentials, you will not find a similar treatment anywhere else in Ireland!
So many of you want to have facials for skin maintenance, brightening, breakouts or anti-ageing.
BUT you also have an annoying visible red vein or two (or twenty, good old Irish weather), on your cheeks or perhaps some milia bumps around your eyes or those little skin tags on your neck or chest.
Well now you don't have to decide which treatment you will have in your precious free time, The Perfector Facial gives you both.
In one 80 minute session, your skin will be deep cleansed, infused with a customised cocktail of vitamins and minerals.
Any clogged pores or blackheads extracted, milia and red veins treated with diathermy on face neck and chest, followed by a soothing mask treatment and finally 30 minutes of LED photo-modulation therapy customised to your needs, whether that is:
- anti-ageing
- anti-acne or
- anti-inflammatory!
This is a treatment that so many of us could use once a year or so (after a certain age!) to deal with the visible capillaries and other skin anomalies that are the result of sun exposure over the years, and just living life!
We all get them, now you know the secret to getting rid of them 🙂
Particularly if you travel a long distance to see us here at Skin Essentials, I know this will be a great addition to your clinical routine and save two separate trips for separate diathermy and facials.
This treatment is currently only performed by myself, so appointments are limited and available Thursday – Saturday weekly.
The cost per treatment is €150.
Advance booking is recommended as I do get booked up quite far ahead!
Mariga 🙂
Note: During The Perfecter treatment, I will be able to remove an average of 20 small lesions such as red veins, milia and spider naevi.
If you have dozens of lesions that need treatment you will need to schedule a follow up session.

Imipramine is very similar to desipramine. Do not take medications containing desipramine while using imipramine.
This drug may make you dizzy or drowsy or cause blurred vision. Do not drive, use machinery, or do any activity that requires alertness or clear vision until you are sure you can perform such activities safely. Limit alcoholic beverages.
Older adults may be more sensitive to the side effects of this drug, especially dizziness (more likely when standing up), drowsiness, constipation, trouble urinating, mental/mood changes (such as confusion, agitation) and heart effects such as QT prolongation (see above). Dizziness, drowsiness, and confusion can increase the risk of falling.
Taking MAO inhibitors with this medication may cause a serious (possibly fatal) drug interaction. Avoid taking MAO inhibitors (isocarboxazid, linezolid, methylene blue, moclobemide, phenelzine, procarbazine, rasagiline, selegiline, tranylcypromine) during treatment with this medication. Most MAO inhibitors should also not be taken for two weeks before and after treatment with this medication. Ask your doctor when to start or stop taking this medication.
Do not share this medication with others.
When used for an extended period in children for bed-wetting, this medication may not work as well and may require different dosing. Talk with the doctor if this medication stops working well.
When used in children for bed-wetting, imipramine should be taken one hour before bedtime. If your child usually wets the bed early in the night, the drug may be given earlier in separate doses (e.g., one dose in the afternoon and one dose at bedtime ).
The risk of serotonin syndrome/toxicity increases if you are also taking other drugs that increase serotonin. Examples include street drugs such as MDMA/"ecstasy," St. John's wort, certain antidepressants (including SSRIs such as fluoxetine/paroxetine, SNRIs such as duloxetine/venlaine), among others. The risk of serotonin syndrome/toxicity may be more likely when you start or increase the dose of these drugs.

This medication does not work right away. It may take up to 3 weeks before you experience the full benefits if you are taking this medication for depression.
Check the labels on all your medicines (e.g., cough-and-cold products) because they may contain drowsiness-containing ingredients or decongestants that could increase your heart rate or blood pressure. Ask your pharmacist about the safe use of those products.
Antidepressant medications are used to treat a variety of conditions, including depression and other mental/ mood disorders. These medications can help prevent suicidal thoughts/attempts and provide other important benefits. However, studies have shown that a small number of people (especially people younger than 25) who take antidepressants for any condition may experience worsening depression, other mental/mood symptoms, or suicidal thoughts/attempts. Therefore, it is very important to talk with the doctor about the risks and benefits of antidepressant medication (especially for people younger than 25), even if treatment is not for a mental/mood condition.

Bahla Fort
Bahla Fort
The oasis of Bahla owes its prosperity to the Banu Nebhan, the dominant tribe in the area from the 12th to the end of the 15th century. The ruins of the immense fort, with its walls and towers of unbaked brick and its stone foundations, is a remarkable example of this type of fortification and attests to the power of the Banu Nebhan.
Outstanding Universal Value
Brief synthesis
The immense, ruined Bahla Fort, with its walls and towers of mud brick on stone foundations and the adjacent Friday Mosque with its decoratively sculpted prayer niche (mihrab) dominate the surrounding mud brick settlement and palm grove. The fort and settlement, a mud-walled oasis in the Omani desert, owed its prosperity to the Banu Nebhan tribe (Nabahina), who dominated the central Omani region and made Bahla their capital from the 12th to the end of the 15th century. From there they established relationships with other tribal groups of the interior. Bahla was the centre of Ibadism (a branch of Islam), on which the ancient Omani Imamates were based and whose influence can be traced across Arabia, Africa and beyond.
The extensive wall (sur) with sentry walk and watchtowers enclosing the labyrinth of mud brick dwellings and cultivatable land has several gateways. The oasis is watered by the falaj system of wells and underground channels bringing groundwater from distant springs, and by management of the seasonal flow of water.
Bahla is an outstanding example of a fortified oasis settlement of the medieval Islamic period, exhibiting the water engineering skill of the early inhabitants for agricultural and domestic purposes. The pre-gunpowder style fort with rounded towers and castellated parapets, together with the perimeter sur of stone and mud brick technology demonstrates the status and influence of the ruling elite.
The remaining mud brick family compounds of traditional vernacular houses (harats) including al-Aqr, al-Ghuzeili, al-Hawulya and the associated mosques, audience halls (sablas), bath houses, together with the dwellings of the fort guards (askari) demonstrate a distinctive settlement pattern related to the location of the falaj. The importance of the settlement is enhanced by the Friday mosque with its highly ornate mihrab and the remains of the old, semi-covered market (souq), comprising a complex of single-storey shops fronting onto narrow lanes, the whole enclosed by an outer wall. The location of the souq placed it within easy surveillance from the fort on its rocky outcrop nearby. Remains of carved and decoratively incised timber doors, shelves and window screens testify to a rich, thriving craft tradition.
Criterion (iv): The Bahla Fort and oasis settlement with its perimeter fortification are an outstanding example of a type of defensive architectural ensemble that enabled dominant tribes to achieve prosperity in Oman and the Arabian Peninsula during the late medieval period.
Integrity (2010)
At the time of inscription, it was noted that the Bahla Fort and adjacent Friday Mosque were inseparable from the small oasis town surrounding it and the boundary therefore follows the line of the wall (sur) enclosing the whole oasis settlement. A road cuts across the property.
The principal constituents of Bahla's architectural ensemble have survived and together they form an integral and largely complete historic walled oasis settlement and major defensive complex. Comprising mostly earthen structures however, they are vulnerable to decay and inadequate site drainage and, in the case of the souq, are vulnerable to reconstruction in modern materials.
The falaj system and water course on which the settlement depends, together with the historic routes linking the settlement to other towns in the interior, extend far beyond its boundary. Despite some urban development in the late 20th century and early 21st century, Bahla remains prominent in the desert landscape. Its continued prominence within the landscape and the visual approaches are vulnerable to community development and tourism requirements. Maintaining the surveillance role of the fort in relation to the souq, the surrounding settlement and the gateways will similarly depend on careful management of development within the property.
Authenticity (2010)
At the time of inscription, the fort was dilapidated and decaying rapidly after each rainy season. It was put on the List of World Heritage in Danger in 1988. Consolidation works to some sections of the fort including Bayt al-Jabal, the entrance hall (sabah), and north-west and south-west walls using inappropriate materials were carried out in the early 1990s, and an audience hall (sabla) in the courtyard was demolished in 1992. From 1995, following training and advice on earthen structures, conservation using only earthen-based materials has included courtyard drainage, new roofs and consolidation of collapsing walls and towers including to the citadel (qasaba), courtyard mosque, Bayt al-Jabal, Bayt al-Hadith and horse stalls, and capping of tops of ruined walls to impede further collapse. The sabla was reconstructed in 1999 in the courtyard of the fort. Accurate records have been kept of the work and full documentation of the fort has since been carried out including a photogrammetric survey.
The form, design and materials that convey the Outstanding Universal Value can be said to have largely retained their authenticity. The property was taken off the List of World Heritage in Danger in 2004.
Bahla remains a thriving settlement. However the authenticity is vulnerable to the abandonment of traditional vernacular houses within the harats. The souq is also vulnerable to lack of conservation and maintenance and changes in materials and methods of construction.
Protection and management requirements (2010)
The property of Bahla Fort and Oasis is protected administratively and legally by the Omani Law for National Heritage Protection (1980). The Fort and its environs are controlled by the Ministry of Heritage and Culture in Muscat, which has a regional office in the Dakhliyeh region and a site office at Bahla.
The site has a Management Plan dating from March 2005, focused on the long-term care, conservation and use of the site's historic buildings, structures and spatial form. The plan also recognises the importance of maintaining the site as an integral whole and the need to manage modern uses and development in order to preserve the integrity of the architectural assemblage and its prominence within its setting.
Several of the actions set out in the Management Plan have been taken forward and implemented, including conservation of the Friday mosque, the qasaba, the sur and gateways, development of guidelines for rehabilitation of the harats, diversion of through traffic, electrification of the fort and installation of a site museum in Bayt al-Hadith within the fort.
The Management Plan is currently undergoing review and will be updated in 2009/2010 in order to be officially adopted. The reviewed and updated Management Plan will form the basis for the long-term management of the property.
Long Description
Bahla Fort is an outstanding example of the characteristic military architecture of the Sultanate of Oman.
The Omani civilization dates back thousands of years. In biblical times the country was the hub of the rich trade in frankincense, the aromatic gum which was once considered more precious than gold. Known for their seafaring tradition, the Sultans of Oman ruled over a wealthy trading empire that stretched from the coast of East Africa to the tip of the Indian subcontinent from the 16th to the 19th centuries.
At the foot of Djebel Akhdar lie the fortresses of Rustaq to the north, and Izki, Nizwa and Bahla to the south. These have all been capitals at some time in their history, and as a consequence have played an important role in the history of Oman. It was here that the Kharijite communities resisted all attempts at 'normalization' by Caliph Harun Al-Rashid, and put into practice their religious concepts, which were at once radically puritanical and democratic.
Not far from the capital of Oman, the oasis of Bahla owed its prosperity to the Banu Nabhan who, from the mid-12th to the end of the 15th centuries, imposed their rule on the other tribes. Only the ruins of what was a glorious past now remain in this magnificent mountain site. Built on a stone base, the adobe walls and towers of the immense fort probably include some structural elements of the pre-Islamic period, but the major part of the constructions dates from the prosperous time of the Banu Nabhan, with the latest reconstruction dating from the beginning of the 16th century. At the foot of the fort, to the south-west, lies the Friday Mosque with its beautiful sculpted mihrab (prayer niche) probably dating back to the 14th century.
These monuments are inseparable from the small town of Bahla and its souk, palm grove and adobe ramparts surrounding the oasis, a remarkable work with towers, doors and underground irrigation channels.
The monuments of Bahla were in a critical state when it was inscribed on the World Heritage List. It had never been restored (thereby conserving a high degree of authenticity), and was not protected by any conservation measures. The terrace of the Friday Mosque had not undergone maintenance work, and it collapsed between 1981 and 1983, causing the arches to cave in and the wall plastering to be torn away, thus endangering the mihrab (prayer niche) in the building, which the Ibadite community had abandoned in favour of the new mosque. A detailed survey was made in 1977 by the Omani Archaeology Department, but restoration work did not make any headway until 1988. This was entirely financed by the Omani Government, with photogrammetric recording by the Mining Museum in Bochum (Germany). By 2005 it was virtually complete.
