Chloromycetin is used for treating serious infections caused by certain bacteria. Chloromycetin is an antibiotic. It works by killing or slowing the growth of sensitive bacteria.
Use Chloromycetin as directed by your doctor.
- Chloromycetin is best taken with a full glass (8 ounces) of water on an empty stomach (either 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals), unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
- To clear up your infection completely, continue using Chloromycetin for the full course of treatment even if you feel better in a few days.
- If you miss a dose of Chloromycetin, use it as soon as possible. Then use your doses at evenly spaced times as directed by your doctor. Do not use 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Chloromycetin.
Store Chloromycetin at room temperature, between 68 and 77 degrees F (20 and 25 degrees C). Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep Chloromycetin out of the reach of children and away from pets.
Active Ingredient: Chloramphenicol.
Do NOT use Chloromycetin if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in Chloromycetin
- you have previously had serious side effects from Chloromycetin
- you have a low white or red blood cell count or decreased blood platelets
- you have a minor infection such as a cold, flu, throat infection, or you are using Chloromycetin to prevent a bacterial infection
- you are taking other medicines that may decrease your bone marrow (eg, cancer chemotherapy); check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure if any of your other medicines may decrease your bone marrow.
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Some medical conditions may interact with Chloromycetin. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have anemia, bone marrow problems, liver disease, or kidney problems.
Some medicines may interact with Chloromycetin. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Anticoagulants (eg, warfarin) because side effects, including risk of bleeding, may be increased
- Hydantoins (eg, phenytoin) or sulfonylureas (eg, glyburide) because the actions and side effects of these medicines may be increased.
- Medicines that may decrease your bone marrow (eg, cancer chemotherapy ) because the risk of serious side effects, such as low blood platelet levels and low white blood cell counts, may be increased; check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure if any of your medicines may decrease your bone marrow.
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if Chloromycetin may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
Important safety information:
- Do not exceed the recommended dose or use Chloromycetin for longer than prescribed without checking with your doctor.
- Chloromycetin is effective only against bacteria. It is not effective for treating viral infections (eg, the common cold).
- It is important to use Chloromycetin for the full course of treatment. Failure to do so may decrease the effectiveness of Chloromycetin and increase the risk that the bacteria will no longer be sensitive to Chloromycetin and will not be able to be treated by this or certain other antibiotics in the future.
- Long-term or repeated use of Chloromycetin may cause a second infection. Your doctor may want to change your medicine to treat the second infection. Contact your doctor if signs of a second infection occur.
- If symptoms of "gray syndrome" (swelling of the abdomen, pale or blue skin color, vomiting, shock, difficulty breathing, refusal to suck, loose green stools, limp muscles, low temperature) occur in a newborn or infant, contact your doctor. Death may occur within hours of the onset of symptoms. Stopping use of Chloromycetin when symptoms first appear increases the chance for a complete recovery.
- Chloromycetin may lower your body's ability to fight infection. Prevent infection by avoiding contact with people with colds or other infections. Notify your doctor of any signs of infection, including fever, sore throat, rash, or chills.
- Chloromycetin may reduce the number of clot-forming cells (platelets) in your blood. To prevent bleeding, avoid situations in which bruising or injury may occur. Report any unusual bleeding, bruising, blood in stools, or dark, tarry stools to your doctor.
- Diabetes patients - Chloromycetin may affect your blood sugar. Check blood sugar levels closely and ask your doctor before adjusting the dose of your diabetes medicine.
- Lab tests, including complete blood cell counts, may be performed to monitor your progress or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
- Use Chloromycetin with extreme caution in children younger 1 year. Safety and effectiveness in this age group have not been confirmed.
- Use Chloromycetin with extreme caution in children younger 10 years who have diarrhea or a stomach or bowel infection.
- Use Chloromycetin with extreme caution in premature and full-term infants because they may be more sensitive to the effects of Chloromycetin, especially the risk of "gray syndrome."
- Pregnancy and breast-feeding: If you become pregnant while taking Chloromycetin, discuss with your doctor the benefits and risks of using Chloromycetin during pregnancy. Chloromycetin should be used with extreme caution during full-term pregnancy and labor because the fetus may experience severe side effects. Chloromycetin is excreted in breast milk. Do not breastfeed while taking Chloromycetin.
All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or minor, side effects.
Check with your doctor if any of these most common side effects persist or become bothersome:
Mild diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting.
Seek medical attention right away if any of these severe side effects occur:
Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); confusion; dark urine; delirium; depression; headache; fever, chills, or sore throat; pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site; symptoms of "gray syndrome" in an infant (swelling of the abdomen, pale or blue skin color, vomiting, shock, difficulty breathing, refusal to suck, loose green stools, limp muscles, low temperature); unusual bleeding or bruising; unusual tiredness; vision changes.
This is not a complete list of all side effects that may occur. If you have questions about side effects, contact your health care provider.

In the end there are at least some medications for every cases.
A generic medicine is a medicament defined as a drug product that is comparable to a original medicine product in strength and performance characteristics. Generic medicaments are significant options that allow greater access to health care for all patients. A lot of medicines approachable online to why to waste time and visit local drugstore if you can light order Ginette-35 sit at home. Like any other option, this opportunity have merits and demerits.

Topics about good health are very popular now. If you're concerned about sexual disease, you have to talk to your physician about Ethinyl estradiol cyproterone. Are you going to get medications, such as Ginette-35, from the Web? What do you think Ginette-35 is? Our article focuses on the treatment of erectile dysfunction. This advice is common, but it can make all the difference if you need information about Ethinyl estradiol cyproterone. Some men will experience erectile dysfunction at some point in their life. Apparently, ED is a problem faced by many older men. Today more than half of men aged 40 to 70 reported some degree of erectile difficulties. Is it dangerous? Of course. Truly, sexual disorders can help depression and, even more importantly, can leave you and your partner feeling frustrated. There are numerous things that can generate impotence. Significant concerns that use of pornography can cause impotence have not been substantiated in epidemiological studies according to a recent literature review. Ultimately, if you are going to take prescription drugs, ask your physician to check your testosterone levels first. One way to improve numerous health problems is to make few idle lifestyle changes, another is generic. Counseling may be valuable.
Prescription medicaments can save lives, but medications can also come with undesirable side effects. Medicaments can be dangerous, notwithstanding, even when they're meant to improve our health. Sometimes common side effects of Ginette-35 include hot flushes. What should patients discuss with a sex therapist before purchasing Ginette-35? Before using Ginette-35 or any other medication, discribe your physician your medical history. If you are going to take the Ginette-35, tell your health care provider if you have ever had severe vision loss, for example an eye problem called NAION. Your health care professional might recommend another pills if such remedies fail to help or cause dangerous side effects. Unconditionally, you and your sex therapist have to resolve if Ginette-35 or another treatment is right for you. Speak to your physician about all medicaments you use, and those you will use during your treatment with the generic. Even if this medicament is not for use in women, it is not known whether this medicament passes into breast milk. Additionally, this patently leaves lots of questions to be considered. However, remember some well-known pills are not for you. So, if you want to be doing well, you have to identify your main objective in advance. Some Web sites sell medicine that may not be safe to use and could put your health at risk. So, purchasing drugs from the Web can save time, but keep above mentioned tips in mind.

Scott Boyes saw an opportunity seven years ago when the Tennessee Department of Transportation was constructing the new Hwy. 70 bridge.
Boyes had a depression in his front yard and TDOT had some fill to get rid of.
"I wanted it," he said.
The soil was brought to Boyes, who used it to fill in the low spot on his Walton Road property.
However, what once seemed like an opportunity has now become a concern for Boyes.

Less than three weeks after a Hook cover story, "She's Dying: His Drug Could Save Her," calls and emails from around the nation have begun pouring in to the office of UVA neurologist James Bennett.
Bennett wants to continue his intriguing clinical trial for a drug to treat ALS, a fatal malady commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Although the first phase of the study ended in November, Bennett recently won "conditional approval" from UVA to move forward. But he needs about $200,000– and quickly.
"What the heck," writes Noor Q. Haq, a 60-year-old Saratoga, California resident who read the Hook's February 24 cover story online. "Get me in touch with Dr. James Bennett," writes Haq, diagnosed with ALS last year, "and I will try to raise this money through a fundraiser."
Other ALS sufferers and their families are trying to raise money in Indiana, Alabama, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, as well as here in Virginia. Bennett says he's heard from people as far away as Germany.
"I now have a collection of the most heartbreaking emails any individual has ever read," says Bennett. On the other hand, he says, "It's heartwarming that people who are complete strangers have offered to raise money for this."
Bennett says he's received several small donations, but still needs to raise most of the $200,000 to pay for enough of the drug to treat 40 patients for six months and to hire a fulltime study coordinator.
Donations can be sent to P.O. Box 800394, Charlottesville, VA 22908. Checks should be made out to University of Virginia: Dr. Bennett Research.

Remember when we tried to offer hints for common household problems? Yeah we finally found a problem we're actually in a position to help you fix.
Hey guys, we love your user-generated content and all, but some of your hangover cures? Hmm, how to say delicately that they make Cosmo's tip about using spit as a makeshift cock lubricant seem OMG totally innovative! Greasy food and ibuprofen? Get out! Coke (but not the diet kind) — REALLY? Next you're gonna say we should really go outside and get an egg McMuffin and some Gatorade even though it's full of calories and DON'T FORGET TO DRINK LOTS OF WATER!!!! Here's the thing: hangover cures are like porn. The usual suspects kinda lose impact as you creep up into the old twilight years. At our age hair of the dog and A.D.D. meds are kinda the only things that can keep us un-suicidal. Also: Vicodin, and that weird organic hippie fermented tea shit Kombucha, presumably because like some of our fave strands of Hair of Dog it is fermented. Still, some of you offered up a few interesting candidates. Like: lemons in our armpits! (Will half-eaten limes left over from tequila work?) And by the way, people who remember to drink water before bed: I hate you.
- "The perfect hangover cure is advil (as many as your body can handle) [Answer: No more than thirty. -Ed.] watermelon and spring rolls. Mmmmm" Guess: you're still in college?
- "Ah hangovers - I know ye well. Ginger ale (with or without a splash or two of bourbon), Mylanta tabs, Advil" Don't forget the Alka-Seltzer.
- "Speaking of, eating a brick of scrapple before retiring keeps me fresh as a daisy the next morning. And because it's scrapple, one very well may be able to stuff a slab up one's nether parts to prevent the unplanned." Oh god you are awesome.
- "Ok, I have an old Russian hangover cure. It's nasty as shit, but works a treat - you can imagine Russians know all about hangovers. Anyway, it's pickle juice. Seriously. Not sure if it's the salt or what, but it works. If you can keep it down. Yeah... Maybe that's not the best idea..." Which reminds us of this old wive's tale that salt helps retain some of the water of which you've been mercilessly robbing your body.
- "i saw this on oprah: if you didn't get to shower this morning and you're hungover stick a lemon wedge in each armpit. TRUST." We may use this every day.
- and the "If This Is Your Cure, It Wasn't A Hangover " Award goes to: "And for hangovers, my preventative is a big diet Coke, three Advil, and as many saltine crackers as I can stomach, before bed the night before. Didn't even have a headache after the Great Martini Swallow/Ten-Year High School Reunion incident."

On the third floor of the Hynes Convention centre in Boston, visitors to the Penny Arcade Expo East get to visit an actual arcade, filled with free-to-play arcade cabinets and pinball machines, just like mother used to make.
Okay, technically my mother didn't make arcade machines, but back when I was a kid she'd send me to the local 7-Eleven with two dollars and instructions to get her a pack of Virginia Slim Menthol Lights, keep the change. That change would go towards a Slurpee, with the remainder going into machines just like these.
Well, just like these with cigarette burns and colorfully stick Slurpee syrup stains.
Ah, memories.

The coming global progressive era will focus on healthcare
WSJ story on Kremlin ordered crackdown on smoking rates, right after China "plans 'harsh' anti-smoking rules.
This is the reality: with globalization and development comes heightened smoking rates, which in turn triggers massive healthcare costs.
Then there's the secondary reality that Old Core North America, sick of smoking a while ago, sent Big Tobacco packing (globally) and that led to those companies going heavy into emerging markets, spreading their . . . whatever. So Big Tobacco is going to be given its second great historical "boot," which will push it into even more emerging markets and the merry chase continues - much like with anti-globalization terror networks (another great purveyor of death).
What does NorthAm Core turn to now as its own progressive era kicks in? Bloomberg has already given you the clue with the mega soda pop ban. It's obesity.
We'll see that crusade shift to New Core in about a decade.

You've talked about how you use underwater motifs and symbols, like jellyfish and octopuses, to show your interest in surrealism within your work, and that your interest in pin up art is also present too. Stylistically you were influenced by the style of art nouveau and manga and you could say that your work is a representation of what interests you in the moment you create it. As time progresses, people's interests are bound to change and we as artists, like to edge out into other areas and use different motifs and symbols in our work.
What in your work have you noticed, could be considered newer symbols and motifs that represent your interests now? And what is the visual connection of some of these newer injections of personality?
Loish - Lately I've been very interested in the beauty of darker, more gritty settings. I've been making illustrations that depict decapitated apartment buildings, run-down down rooms and rainy, dark weather. It's a very instinctive thing, because I think - like most people - that these kinds of settings have a natural beauty and appeal to them. I like the atmosphere they evoke and I think it is a good conceptual match with my use of colours and textures: I've always aimed to make visually appealing artwork with bright colours, but have always set these against rough textures - such as crumbling plaster walls or old paper - and dark, earthy colours.
What elements of symbolism do you no longer feel the need to include as much anymore and what are the reasons for moving on from them? Do you think that somethings will always be present in your work?
My work has never been heavily symbolic, so if there's anything I moved on from, it would be more stylistic elements that I've simply grown past. My work used to be a lot cuter and more inspired by things like My Little Pony and japanese Kawaii styles, something I loved. I occasionally reach back to the color combinations and "cute" elements from back then, but I feel my personal and artistic style has matured quite a bit since then and I no longer like these things as much as I used to. I still really like them though, you'll see some ridiculously cute and pink things pop up on my sketchblog from time to time.
I'd like to talk about your personal project, Trichome, with you. What started as a graduation project, saw the release of a short animation called Blue, and you have two more animations you'd like to create and release that are set along the same premise within the Trichrome project.In a more recent blog post that I read of yours, after some time sitting partially shelved, you're now making some effort to pick that project back up and you're also preparing to fund both animations yourself.
What new ideas and messages are you hoping to explore in the next two films? What is your ultimate goal with this project?
Well, before creating Trichrome Blue, I wrote a thesis analyzing the different reasons why animation is used as a tool in advertising which was really the inspiration for the film. Although the first Trichrome film addresses this in some ways, I really want to have more of a clear message in the second two films about the underlying theme of advertising and the practices used to convince consumers to buy certain products.
I want to create more tension and go further with the ideas that I set up in the first film, basically. The direction will be more dystopic and dark, something that is too subtle in the first film to really register with viewers. My ultimate goal is, objectively speaking, just to create a trilogy of shorts which reflect my personal ideas and storytelling approach, that show more about who I am as an artist. I have a lot of digital art out there that reflect my taste and aesthetic, but not a lot about how I approach storytelling. I think Trichrome will be a really crucial part of my portfolio once I'm done.
Trichrome Blue from Lois van Baarle on Vimeo.
After completing and releasing the final two films, do you have any plans or ideas to expand that project's 'world,' or do you see it more as a logical stop point that needs no further expansion?
I plan on closing this 'world' neatly with the last movie, so I don't think it will be needing further expansion. I personally really like movies, books, TV shows, etc., that know when to stop and wrap the story up nicely with a concise ending. This is what I want to do as well!
Have you got ideas of projects waiting on the side lines you're hoping to pick up afterwards? Or will your openness to what ever opportunities come your way, be more of a deciding factor in what you do next?
The only thing I've got going after Trichrome is an artbook. I really want to release a book which shows different work I've done over the years. People have been asking me if I've made one for so long, that it's something I really need to do! But for the rest I am open to any opportunity, which is my general approach towards most paid work I do. It usually yields the most interesting results!
With some of your previous client work, you have delivered character designs for computer game projects. In the same blog post I read about how you're pushing on with Trichrome, I read that you're seriously considering moving into concept design within the games industry.Concept design in computer games (and film) is a very wide and dynamic profession. One week, you could work on a character for a science fiction game and then the next, you have to design a small object for a different game in a completely different style.
What sort of games would you love to turn your hand to and what sort of assets would you love to be challenged to design? (like some kind of futuristic tank for instance)
I definitely like working on character design the most. Although I think it's interesting to do environments and vehicles, I am not very strong in these areas. I love drawing people, though, and I love how the game industry is open to a very high level of detail in their character designs. In the animation world, designs tend to be more simple and cartoony because this is easier to animate. But games are a lot about good, detailed graphics, which allows me to go much further as a character designer than I normally would.
Although you admit you're not an avid gamer, what games out there that have been released, past or more recent, really impressed you in their design and visual style?
I am very impressed by the artwork I've seen for "The Last of Us." The game seems to be a mix of some of my favourite movies ever - with some influences from The Children of Men and The Road - and the style really reflects this gritty, bleak environment that I find so fascinating in dystopic movies. I haven't played the game myself but I've heard a lot about how it creates strong feelings of love and the need to protect. I think that's a beautiful approach and I love how the realistic design work really draws you in.
Random Question Section
What is your favourite food?
Although I don't eat it often, I love baked things like cookies, cake, pastries etc etc. I have a serious sweet tooth.
Can you play a musical instrument? If not, what would you like to learn to play?
I absolutely cannot! I've never been very good with music. I would love to lean to play bass guitar, because I think it's one of the most beautiful sounding instruments.
If you could interview one of your artist heroes, who would it be and what question would you like to ask them the most?
I suppose I'd love to talk to an artist who created something truly unique, style-wise, and poured their own life and vision into that work. I'd love to talk with an artist like Egon Schiele and ask them questions about the specific events and people that inspired his drawings. Or an even more obvious artist: Vincent van Gogh. Their work has a kind of honesty to it, that gives you a glimpse of some of the pain and intensity they experienced in their life, and I'd love to be able to just talk about that life with them and be able to see specific things reflected in their work.
Are you a collector of art yourself and if so, what paintings do you treasure?
I'm actually not a great collector of art myself. I have plans to become one, but I haven't gotten around to really searching for good original art just yet.
What really grinds your gears?
Art thieves! I've had one too many experiences with web shops that suddenly started selling clothing with my art printed on them. Of course it's enraging that they are making a profit off of my work, but what also grinds my gears is that I have to put lots of time and effort into going after these people to make them stop selling the product. I hate that! I just don't have the time for it!

Im curious to know; is anyone familiar with Carol Ciemiengos article September 11, 2001: A Thermographers Experience at Ground Zero? More specifically then, has anyone paid particular attention to the photograph (carolciemiengo2) of the alleged aircraft part therein and have they thoroughly investigated that part? I ask because even though Id not seen that particular photograph, prior to reading her article, I had known of photographs there in the NIST Cumulus Datasets showing of that same part. One in particular shows that part with a part number thereon a sub-assembly but unfortunately I dont have access to Boeing 767-200 manuals. That part number makes it possible to prove (or disprove) that part originated from a Boeing 767-200. That is why this part needs to be investigated!
I have no idea what aircraft system the part came from, although it does appear to be part of a hydraulic ram of sorts. Perhaps its from a main gear or nose gear extension/retraction actuator, or even a baggage bay door (or cargo door) extension/retraction actuator. Having said so, some argue the alleged UA175 aircraft engine recovered at the corner of Church Street and Murray Street was not standard for type on ANY United Airlines Boeing 767-200 aircraft. Could the part in question be the remnants of an engine core shaft? I highly doubt it, but then Im not an engine specialist. That said it certainly appears to be too small and far too primitive to have been from the core of an engine. Assuming it came from a Boeing 767-200 sub-assembly chances are the part number is to be found in a Boeing 767-200 Vendor Component Manual and not the airframe manuals.
Ive no doubt the object in question is an aircraft part and furthermore it had to have originated from the aircraft that slammed into WTC 2, but wheres my proof of that? Having analyzed the NIST Cumulus Datasets photographs and by comparing various features of the building rooftop, as seen in (99CHU~36_114) and NOAAs photograph (Ficheiro:Wtc-photo.jpg) Ive established the building and rooftop on which the part was found embedded. In fact the clearly visible indentation caused by the impact of this part, the white tarpaulin used to cover and protect the evidence/crime scene and everything about the two photographs match. That building was located at the Northwest corner of the intersection at Barclay Street and Church Street. I say was; due to the fact the building no longer exists.
Furthermore, the path of trajectory and distance that part travelled means it had to have been ejected from WTC 2 and with equal/identical force to that of the aircraft engine and main wheel/brake assembly highlighted in FIGURE 1-4 (Areas of aircraft debris impact) thereon page 1-6 of its May 2002, World Trade Center Building Performance Study. I exclude the section of fuselage from that scenario the evidence proving that fuselage wreckage was planted there on the rooftop of WTC 5. Ive reproduced that image and posted it to Flickr but not before adding to it, showing where exactly the part (SHAFT) can be located in (Ficheiro:Wtc-photo.jpg)
So then, if this part had in fact originated from the aircraft that slammed into WTC 2, why then was it excluded from the aforementioned FIGURE 1-4? That being the case one need ask why had knowledge of that particular aircraft part been swept under the carpet by the NIST WTC Investigators who NEVER made these photographs public until forced to by court order? Why indeed! I suspect its because the part in question can be identified! By that I mean I believe the part may prove to be something other than a part from UA175.
Clearly NIST had to have known of its existence! After all, photographs of the part were in NISTs possession all along and the part number plainly obvious, to me anyways! In fact, on September 19, 2011 Mr. Michael E. Newman of NIST stated, All information released under the FOIA request to The International Center for 9/11 Studies had not been altered in any way by NIST prior to its public disclosure. Furthermore, that evidence was copied from the original exactly as it was received. It was logged into a database as it was received and it was accessible only to those working on the investigation. NIST protected the integrity of the originals at all times. That being the case, did the NIST investigation looking into WTC 2 (with its 16 million dollar budget) even bother to try and establish the parts Providence from these photographs and all their video footage? If they did they never disclosed their findings, which only lends to the belief the NIST WTC investigators were inept at best!
Indeed, on December 15, 2008 Charles Thornton confirmed what Ive always believed - In regards to Mr. W. Gene Corleys WTC investigation he stated, The FEMA report was done by ASCE and it was a whitewash... Recall if you will that Mr. W. Gene Corley was the lead investigator of the FEMA WTC investigation. As such theres no doubt in my mind he sanitized its evidence and outcome, just like he did in Oklahoma City and Waco, Texas. Make no mistake; the NIST investigators were just as negligent. In their own words, from the likes of Mr. Michael E. Newman, NIST relied heavily on the expert advice of others when arriving at their WTC investigative conclusions. Experts such as Mr. W. Gene Corley, who has little in the way of experience and/or qualifications, in fields of expertise hes so often called upon to give in such shady cases.
Lets face it; the official NIST investigation never established what aircraft slammed into WTC 2 on 9/11 and certainly NOT by way of a forensic investigation looking into this part and others like it, such as the flight data recorder(s) discovered in the WTC debris field. If you doubt the latter then please do explain the statement Investigators have identified the signal from one of the black boxes in the WTC debris, as made by Edward F. Jacoby, Jr., therein his World Trade Center Plane Crash - Executive Summary, dated September 18, 2001. In my opinion then, why NO effort was made to forensically investigate the recovered wreckage of the alleged UA175 is testament to the Powers that Be knowing very well UA175 did not slam into WTC 2 on 9/11!
What other explanation can there be for why the authorities did NOT thoroughly investigate this matter and in doing so quash all doubt for the official 9/11 narrative, not to mention all talk of Conspiracy. The fact that every surviving traceable/part-numbered/serialized aircraft part recovered from all the aircraft destroyed on 9/11 had been scooped-up by the FBI, spirited away and immediately destroyed by the powers that be, that smacks of a cover-up!
Having said all that, whats unique about this alleged (WTC aircraft) part is the nearly complete and legible part number there on the gland nut (as seen in the photograph EPSN0083). Someone with the knowhow and access to Manufacturer (Vendor) Manuals can readily and positively trace the gland nut back to its manufacturer (Vendor) and ultimately then to each and every model/type of aircraft it was ever part and parcel to. Unlike the (alleged UA175) section of aircraft fuselage, part of an engine and a wheel/brake assembly that were never positively identified as such and yet the mindless masses still believe them to be UA175 wreckage...How utterly blind and ignorant most people truly are!
Indeed, a not so blind and self-motivated individual might discover the gland nut was never a part of any component/assembly known to be standard for type on the Boeing 767-200. That fact alone would prove the aircraft that slammed into WTC 2 was NOT United Airlines flight 175 and knowing the aircraft parts Providence - its Chain of Custody, Mr. Gene The Cleaner Corley would have some serious explaining to do.
Here are the online links to the pertinent photographs:
Note: The first (four) of the following photographs are located in the NIST Cumulus Dataset, Release_16: 42A0049, George Bell (Moodys) and their companion (99CHU~36_114) is located in Release_36, 42A0514 - G37D1, Bill Garcia (Moodys).

NOTE: I have rotated photograph EPSN0083 90 degrees clockwise for the sole purpose of demonstrating my points made.
Obviously then [moral conviction] on the part of the authorities has waned (from little to none) over the years and theyre highly unlikely to investigate this matter too. As such Im not expecting anything will come of this insight and evidence. However, Im putting it out there online as well, on the off chance someone with the resources to investigate this matter can and will do just that, to settle the matter once and for all.
The truth is Id love for someone to prove my overall UA175 Conspiracy Theory ridiculous and utterly wrong. In all honesty and most sincerely then I am haunted still by the memory of that day. Mostly for having seen over and over again, in the course of my UA175 research, far too many innocent lives needlessly snuffed-out in such brutal fashion. Indeed, the poignant words that resonate most with me to this day are Tami Michaels having asserted with such palpable anguish Theres people falling out - That was a person! Those people were loved dearly by someone and they deserve justice, no less now than the day they were murdered.
So yes, Id be immensely relieved to be proven wrong, knowing and believing the government and various agencies played no nefarious role in the 9/11 attacks and instead were simply asleep on the job at the time and not complicit in the crime against humanity that was 9/11.

Power Mirror Switch at 1A Auto
What is a power mirror switch and where is it located?
Most cars and trucks on the road today are equipped with power operated side view mirrors rather than manual or manual remote mirrors. Like manual side view mirrors, power mirrors allow you to look and see those "blind spot" areas behind and beside the vehicle, giving you more awareness of what is going on around you while you are driving, including the actions of other drivers. The difference with power mirrors over manual mirrors is that they can be adjusted to desired positions in order to achieve the proper angles for viewing right from the convenience of the driver's seat, as opposed to having to stick a hand out of the window to do that.
So, now you are probably wondering how those power mirrors are able to adjust magically like that. Well, power mirrors use internal electrical motors to adjust the position of the glass, which the driver controls with the power mirror switch. This switch is located on the driver side door panel armrest, center console, or dash depending on the vehicle. Typically, the power mirror switch has four buttons (up, down, left, and right) with a driver side/passenger side selector switch, but this can vary depending on the vehicle as well. Some applications have a separate memory switch which may also control power seat positions.
How do I know my power mirror switch needs to be replaced?
Power mirror switches can fail over time due to general use and age. Excess moisture from leaving your car or truck's windows open may also cause the switch to become defective. Some symptoms of a bad power mirror switch include intermittent operation or, no operation of the mirror from the switch at all. If this is the case, you will not be able to adjust your power mirrors automatically. While you still can adjust them manually, this eliminates the ease and convenience of being able to do that from the comfort of your seat by simply using a switch.
Can I replace the power mirror switch myself?
The power mirror switch is fairly easy to replace and can be done by the the novice do-it yourselfer. The repair may entail the removal of the door panel to access the switch harness, but in a lot of vehicles the switch can simply be pried out with a flat blade screwdriver and then disconnected from the mirror switch wiring harness.
Need a Replacement Power Mirror Switch?
Since the mirror switch is the only part that can start the process of moving your power mirrors and they won't adjust automatically without a properly functioning switch, it's important that it is in tip top shape. If it's not, you'll have to adjust the mirrors manually which is a bit inconvenient when you are driving your vehicle at higher speeds – and slightly dangerous - as well as when it happens to be raining or snowing out.
If you are in need of an aftermarket replacement mirror switch, then you have come to the right place. At 1A Auto, we carry a large selection of aftermarket power mirror control switches for many makes and models. We also make shopping for a replacement for your car, truck, SUV or van easy - we're here to help you select the right one for your vehicle! Call our customer service toll free at 888-844-3393 if you have any questions about our window switches, warranty, compatibility or to purchase, or you can buy online.

Toddler walking alone to nursery school leads off-duty cop to harrowing discovery

Toddler leads off-duty cop to mother's body
October 7, 2017
An unnamed police officer was driving with his wife on Shobnall Road in Burton-upon-Trent, U.K., when he spotted a 2-year-old girl walking alone on the side of the road, as reported by The Guardian.
When the officer asked the girl if she was OK, the girl told him that she was going to nursery school since she wasn't able to wake her mom up, Staffordshire police said in the account.
At this point in time, the officer became very worried and decided to follow the girl back to her home. He wanted to make sure the girl was safe and in a good environment. After all, 2-year-old girls shouldn't be walking outside alone by themselves without supervision.
Following the girl back to her house, the police officer discovered a devastating truth: The girl's mother, 30-year-old Nicolla Rushton, was dead.
Chief Inspector Steve Maskrey told the Guardian that the police officer stayed with the toddler until emergency services arrived to take care of the situation. As The Independent informs, West Midlands Ambulance Service said that an ambulance and a paramedic were sent to the scene.
"This is a brilliant piece of work by him that shows that we are never off-duty. The officer and his wife took the time to look after the little girl and stay with her until emergency services arrived. Sadly, nothing could be done to help the woman," Maskrey said to The Guardian. "My thoughts are with the family and friends of the deceased at this difficult time."
The Guardian reports that the girl is now in the care of relatives. An inquest will take place to determine the death of Rushton.

Penn State holds Sexual Assault Awareness Month events in April
Penn State holds Sexual Assault Awareness Month events in April
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — In an ongoing effort to bring greater awareness to sexual violence and to child abuse, several Penn State events are being held during the month of April, which has been designated Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Child Abuse Prevention Month.
Highlighting events at University Park is a keynote speech by James Hmurovich, CEO and president of Prevent Child Abuse America, followed by a panel discussion, to be held 7:30 to 9 p.m., April 23, in the HUB Auditorium. The evening, titled "Making a Difference, Every Day: Preventing Child Abuse Begins with You," is co-sponsored by multiple University and community organizations.
There are numerous resources available to help victims of sexual assault and violence at Penn State campuses and through services across Pennsylvania and nationwide. A detailed list of organizational contacts and online resources is available at http://news.psu.edu/story/150282/2012/04/02/university-resources-assist-sexual-violence-victims/.
In addition to April's events, Penn State's Third Annual Conference on Child Protection and Well-Being will be held May 5 and 6 at the Nittany Lion Inn. The conference will feature presentations by multiple experts from across the country and will discuss four major areas of family dynamics: family processes underlying child maltreatment, intergenerational transmission of maltreatment, evidence-based interventions with maltreated children and their families, and future directions in child maltreatment prevention.
Following are some of the events being held throughout April at Penn State campuses. Some campuses held events in March as well.
Penn College
-- The Clothesline Project, a visual display that bears witness to violence against women, will be on display during the week of April 7 in the Bush Campus Center lobby.
-- "Drawing the Shades," a nationally recognized multimedia performance depicting the emotional experience of rape and sexual assault, will be held at 7 p.m. on April 9 in the Klump Academic Center Auditorium. The program, a short play followed by a musical slideshow, is free and open to the public. Multicultural and sexual minority issues will also be addressed; survivors are warned of the program's intensely emotional content. "Drawing the Shades" also will be offered in the auditorium as a professional development activity for Penn College faculty and staff at 2:30 p.m. on April 4.
Penn State Altoona
Penn State Altoona will host two key events in recognition of April's Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Child Abuse Prevention Month.
-- On April 3, Penn State Altoona's Health Advisory Board and Family Service, Inc. of Blair County will have a showing of the documentary "Healing Need." During this lunch 'n' learn, several speakers, including Kim Menard, assistant professor of criminal justice at Penn State Altoona, will discuss the importance of breaking the cycle of sexual violence. The Clothesline Project also will be on display and teal ribbons will be available for purchase with proceeds benefiting the Blair County Family Shelter.
-- "Take Back the Night" will be held at 4 p.m. on April 10 in the Slep Student Center. The Clothesline Project also will be on display, and a panel discussion will follow the showing of a documentary.
Penn State Beaver
The Penn State Beaver Student Activity Fee, the Women's Center of Beaver County, the Penn State Beaver Climate and Diversity Committee, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of PA and the Penn State Commission for Women are sponsoring a series of programs for the campus community as part of Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
-- An interactive workshop, "Know Your Neighbor," will be conducted by the Women's Center. The workshop will be offered at 11 a.m. and again at 1 p.m., April 2, in room 16 of the Student Union Building.
-- A presentation on "The U.S. Attorney's Insights About Sexual Violence in the Pittsburgh Region" will be held from noon to 1 p.m. on April 2 in the auditorium of the Student Union Building. The program is presented by the Pittsburgh region U.S. Attorney's Office and the Women's Center.
-- The documentary "Boys and Men Healing" will be presented at 4:30 p.m. on April 2 in the auditorium of the Student Union Building.

Joseph, assistant professor of sociology, has arranged for the screening of "Out in the Silence," a 2009 documentary film by Joe Wilson and Dean Hamer, at 7 p.m. April 2 in the R. Michael Fryer Conference Center. The film chronicles the chain of events that occur when the severe bullying of a gay teen draws Wilson and his partner back to the conservative rural community of Oil City, Pa., where their own same-sex wedding announcement had previously ignited a controversy. The Diversity Council is very pleased to host this event that will touch on issues of local Pennsylvania culture and social change, diversity and community, and mutual understanding and communication. Following the film screening, Rev. Mark Micklos, an evangelical preacher featured in the documentary film who developed an unexpected friendship with the filmmakers, will lead a discussion with the audience on LGBT issues, religion and learning to communicate across deep divides. Micklos is senior pastor at the Fern Trinity Evangelical Congregational Church.

In "Solitary Envoi", we return to works of art by the politically repressed. Mây Trần brings us the story behind a song written from within Việt Nam's prison jail cells: Trả Lại Cho Dân (Return to the People).
Human rights activist Nguyễn Văn Oai is on trial again, after having previously served four years in prison on charges of attempting to overthrow the government. Oai became a father while in prison awaiting trial. His wife Hồ Thị Linh Châu posted a letter to him on her Facebook page, just before he was originally due to appear in court.
[VIDEO] Travel back to the annual Ðiện Hòn Chén Festival in Huế, Việt Nam -- this time, to witness the practice and rituals of ancestor worshipping.
Reporter Kathy Triệu is back with another modern refugee story -- one that chronicles the journey of two strong-willed Vietnamese mothers, Trần Thị Lụa and Trần Thị Thanh Loan. They recount fhow several attempts to flee Việt Nam for Australia led them instead to a detention center in Indonesia.
One Vietnamese Central Committee member gets ousted, while another top leader goes to DC. If you've gotta catch up with the news, tune in for a roundup of headlines that's got Vietnamese people abuzz.
Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc is visiting the United States this week to meet with Donald Trump. Hà Nội wants to show that its human rights records has progressed and it is eager to deepen its ties with America. But what are its real motives and ambitions for this visit? And what should America know about Việt Nam's human rights situation before making any decisions?
Reporter Trần Minh Nhật gives his outlook on the current news.

[NB: Most of what I've written below applies specifically to the hospital venue.]
We all know the books to read when preparing for a VBAC or the videos that will help us gain confidence in our ability to give birth vaginally. We all know to pack our hospital bags, including our mental focus recordings, and bring a copy of our birth plans. We all know that we need a doula with us, one who is experienced supporting VBACing women.
Many of us even know that we need to talk powerfully about our upcoming VBACs. "I'm trying for a VBAC" is not nearly strong enough. Replace that with "I'm planning a VBAC." Did you birth the first time with "I'm gonna try to give birth vaginally" going through your brains? Probably not. I myself never doubted my ability to give birth naturally.
Anyway, I digress. In addition to constructing a clear but concise birth plan, you need to also do the following:
- obtain a copy of the hospital's VBAC consent form; review it and make changes as you see fit; give a copy to your care provider and bring a copy with you to the hospital
- obtain a copy of the hospital's cesarean consent form; review it and make changes as you see fit; give a copy to your care provider and bring a copy with you to the hospital. My hospital doesn't have a cesarean consent form. They have you sign their generic "invasive procedure" form which I find unacceptable.
- discuss the modifications you've made to the above forms with your care provider(s)
- especially if you're NOT married, make sure your will is in order
- make sure you bring a medical power of attorney in case medical decisions need to be made and you are incapacitated
Bruce Flamm's VBAC consent form appears everywhere on the internet. I personally didn't find it sufficient, but it is a place to start. Here's a great post – an actual cesarean consent form with some added commentary from the blogger. I've taken this form and modified it so that (1) consent is not given for elective cesarean; (2) consent is withheld until the situation would arise for an emergent cesarean; (3) my husband is named as having power of attorney in the case of an emergency where I was unable to make my wishes known. I also added some things that were missed on the form.
Please ask questions or offer your own suggestions!

Good buying decisions increase your chances of good long term emotional, physical and financial outcomes for you and your family.
All buyers have emotion and inherent biases on home decision making and many rely purely on intuition. While intuition can produce some stellar results; test after test shows it is inferior to expert value analysis.
Our role is to provide the home buying client with a proven process and the tools to make good decisions.
We begin with Stage One: Clarity.
Last year we rated 2000 homes, covered 1200 auctions but only bought 80 homes. We're picky! And you should be too.
When buying a home people want to achieve good financial and good emotional outcomes.
Buyers have to make many decisions - some have good results and some may have bad.
To maximise the good and minimise the bad, we at James Buyer Advocates take you through a process called James Home Ratings.
Clarity is the start of the Ratings process.
We can show you how clarity saves time, stress and ultimately money by encouraging you to focus on the important points about the home and only on the homes that really count.
If the home passes your 'sleep test' then it's onto the next, more detailed stages of our process:
If at any stage you would like more obligation free information about how a James Buyer Advocate can help or you then please contact us on 9804 3133

Our Rating from 2009:
From the street you don't get this home's big points and they are all about the living spaces. Light, flow, size and space and all in one big area. Pool out front and yard out back really does work in this layout (that's unusual). The dining room while not my taste is well positioned and a good space. Good garage sizing. The upstairs is a bit too smart with the stairs really only providing nuisance value rather than an architectural statement. The bedroom themselves work and the master has good separation and light and garden views. Area is coming along all the time and is a nice walking distance from both beach and shopping/train. Cosmetically it may need some work to suit some families but the flow and bones are good.

Agent Declined Quote
East Facing
A number of clients engage us to negotiate only.
What should your offer be? And what response will Marshall White - Brighton give you to that offer? Framing of offers and counter offers are so important.
Is Barb Gregory the key agent to be dealing with in trying to buy 10 Murphy Street?
Do you have a plan? Is it a predictable one? Do you have an established history with Marshall White - Brighton? In other words do they know more about you than you do about them? What are Marshall White - Brighton's processes, habits and quirks when it comes to negotiation? Are those processes fair, can they be negotiated?
Contracts, inspections and terms - have you completed due diligence - can Barb in fact sell 10 Murphy Street to you today if you did start a negotiation. Yes or No! If no why start?
Many of our negotiations are win-win eg a fairly priced off market. At the other end of the scale auctions and highly priced homes are obviously designed to be adversarial - look at the bidder numbers on 4 Hector Street or 182 Church Street.
However the current auction hammer rate is 50% which means 50% are not actually selling during that 15 minute incredibly intense process. How will you handle a pass-in such as
62 Asling Street or 20 Willansby Avenue?
It's been on the market in its current campaign since Nov 10 2016. It has a history - what is it? Is now actually a good time to start negotiating?
Negotiation decisions are critical to outcomes and they involve risk versus reward concepts.
Your intuition in negotiating homes is like intuition in anything else - it can work.
However your intuition plus a complete understanding of the process works better and finally your intuition plus an understood process supported by experienced professionals works best as your decisions are informed ones.
Welcome to the final part of the James Home Rating Process.
As the markets mature and the way properties are offered for sale becomes more complicated, it's becoming harder for buyers to negotiate well.
You negotiate to maximise your position financially and emotionally.
To negotiate well, we start with a James Negotiation Plan.
At the top of the plan we ask: What is it you are trying to buy - a price or a property?
On one extreme is the occasional buyer who is focused purely on price. At the other end is the buyer who wants the home whatever the price.
Most buyers fall somewhere in between on the price vs property spectrum.
Negotiation strategy is about risk vs reward: what risks are you prepared to take for which rewards? This will determine your planned strategy.
On the other side of the negotiation fence are highly skilled selling agents using sophisticated selling processes. Many agents employ two key techniques to maximise their clients' (the seller) position.
These are:
These techniques are used in both auctions and private sales.
A common variation of the above techniques is Step Quoting, where the asking price rises each time you have contact with the agent. It may start, for instance, at $2m when you speak on the phone, go up to $2.2m when you ask at the door, rise to $2.4m before the auction and then when the property is passed in you discover the reserve is $2.8m.
How do you deal with that? For more information read our article on Step Quoting.
Auctions are all about pressure. They're about gathering all the combatants into a ring and letting them fight it out. How do you know who your opponents are?
Sure, anybody can bid at auction - but even in good markets it's still less than 1 in 3 that are bought under the hammer and then the most common Bidder number is - yep - One, You. You are bidding all by yourself.
Do you understand how clouded many deals are with smoke and mirrors? While you are looking at your reflection is someone else doing to you what you needed to do to them? We won't let that happen.
Private sale is all about process. It's not a simple, consistent, easy to understand stated process either, but a protracted complicated process that's designed to maximise the price.
Not sure what we are talking about - its another one of the unknown knowns.
But surely anyone can negotiate!
Perhaps! But can you do it well?
You're simply more effective if you have professional representation protecting your position.
We use sophisticated technology, combined with years of experience and solid agent relationships to read the play, plan our next strategies and understand your true position.
All this is within the James Negotiation.
And remember, sometimes negotiating is not all about the money.
Sometimes the best strategy is Happy Spouse Happy House.
If at any stage you would like more information about how a James Buyer Advocate can help or you want to meet me or another of our buyer advocates for coffee, then please contact us on 9804 3133.

ROSEVILLE, Mich., Oct. 13 (UPI) -- A Vietnam veteran said he faced a daunting task when he started tracking down a U.S. comrade who had left his prized hunting knife on a battlefield in 1970.
Lloyd Cates of Smithville, Texas, knew his wounded friend Frank "Ski" Cybulski lived in the Detroit suburb of Hamtramck, a longtime enclave of Polish immigrants.
"Of course there are a lot of '-skis' in Hamtramck," Cates told the Detroit News.
But with the assistance of a Facebook group called "I grew up in Hamtramck before 1985," Cates was able to reach out to Cybulski's ex-wife, who relayed a message to him.
The News said the contact stunned Cybulski at first and it took for the former sergeant a few weeks to respond to Cates. It also took him about 10 minutes to muster up the nerve to open the package containing the knife his parents had given him and that Cates had kept polished and sharpened for more than 40 years.
"My grandson just turned 2-years-old, and it's very important to me to walk that wall (Vietnam Veterans Memorial) and touch it with him," Cybulski, who now lives in Roseville, Mich., told the News. "I want to place that knife at the wall in Washington and leave it there."
For Cates, returning "Ski's" knife was a symbol of tying up loose ends. "That was one of the most difficult things about being in Vietnam," Cates said. "You got close to people and when you put them on that helicopter, you never heard from them again."

Wednesday, March 20
Good morning, TexMessagers! What do you think of military tuition assistance cuts?
Last month, the White House announced that military tuition assistance program would be cut because of the sequester.
The program provides active-duty personnel with funding for college classes. Last year, the government spent $524 million on the program.
Speaking on the house floor Monday, Rep. Ted Poe said that if funding for military education is not reinstated, he will propose legislation to withhold foreign aid to Pakistan instead.
"Why are we funding education programs for our Benedict Arnold ally when we can't fund — or don't fund — the education for our military? And to Pakistan of all places, where hatred for America is at its highest. Washington should watch its spending and prioritize," Poe said.
According to Fox News, in 2012 the United States spent $12.7 million on higher education and $47.2 million on education and social services in Pakistan. The grand total of non-defense foreign aid sent to Pakistan was $370 million.
Poe said that since the sequester, the administration has approved $37 million in foreign aid to Pakistan.
There has been widespread negative reaction to the cuts from both sides of the aisle. Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., and Sen. Kay Hagan, D-N.C. proposed legislation last week that would require the programs receive funding. In just one week, over 100,000 Constituents have signed a petition on whitehouse.gov asking President Obama to reinstate the program, and the president will reply to their request in 30 days.
