What does this guide cover?
This guide can help you talk with your doctor or nurse about treatments for renal artery stenosis (pronouced "steh-NO-sis").
Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is a narrowing of one or both of the blood vessels (renal arteries) that carry blood to the kidneys. The kidneys help to control blood pressure. Narrowed renal arteries make it harder for the kidneys to work. RAS can get worse over time. It often leads to high blood pressure and kidney damage.
The information in this guide comes from a government-funded review of research about the treatment of RAS. It talks about:
- Health problems caused by RAS, like high blood pressure and kidney damage.
- Two kinds of treatment for RAS.
What is not covered by this guide?
- Who should be checked for RAS.
- The best test to find out if you have RAS.
- Whether lifestyle changes might help improve RAS.
- Surgery for RAS.
- A rare kind of RAS caused by fibromuscular dysplasia (a thickening of the artery walls).
Fast Facts
Fast Facts on Renal Artery Stenosis Treatments
- Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is a narrowing of one or both of the blood vessels to the kidneys. RAS can lead to hard-to-control blood pressure.
- At this point, nobody knows whether the best way to treat RAS is with blood pressure pills or angioplasty (a procedure to open the blocked area).
- Medicines and angioplasty can both lower blood pressure for people who have RAS.
- A few people with RAS who have angioplasty can stop taking blood pressure pills. Most people will have to keep taking pills for their blood pressure, even after angioplasty.
- In the long run, there is no difference in how well the kidneys work for people who have angioplasty compared to people who just take blood pressure pills for RAS.
Learning About Renal Artery Stenosis
What causes RAS?
- Almost always (9 times out of 10), the narrowing is caused by plaque (pronounced "plak"). Plaque is made up of fats, cholesterol, and other materials.
- Over time, if enough plaque builds up on the walls of the renal arteries, it creates a blockage. The medical term is atherosclerotic (pronounced "ath-a-ro-skla-RAH-tic") disease, or hardening of the arteries.
Who gets RAS?
- Older people are more likely to get RAS because plaque builds up in arteries over time.
- RAS usually happens in people who also have problems with blocked arteries in other places, like their legs or heart.
How do I know if I have RAS?
- Usually there are no symptoms.
- If your high blood pressure is very hard to control, it might be caused by RAS. Your doctor or nurse may run special tests to find out for sure.
Treatments for Renal Artery Stenosis
What is the best treatment for RAS?
There are two kinds of treatments for RAS. People can take pills to lower their blood pressure, or they can get angioplasty. Some people many need both. At this point, nobody knows which works best.
Which treatments lower blood pressure?
Medicines can lower blood pressure and cholesterol. Usually this means taking two or more kinds of pills.
Angioplasty is used to open up the blocked artery. The doctor threads a small balloon into the renal artery and then blows up the balloon to open the blockage. Sometimes the angioplasty includes putting in a stent. A stent is a small metal tube that helps keep the artery open.
- People are more likely to get their blood pressure under control if they get an angioplasty and keep on taking blood pressure medicines. However, this better control may only be for people who had angioplasty for blockages in both of their renal arteries.
- A few people who have angioplasty for RAS can stop taking blood pressure pills. For every 100 people with RAS who get angioplasty, 4 to 18 of them can stop blood pressure pills. The rest of the people will have to keep on taking medicines for their blood pressure.
Which treatments help the kidneys?
In the long run, there is no difference in how well the kidneys work for people who have angioplasty compared with people who just take blood pressure pills for RAS.
Risks of Treatment
All of the treatments have a risk of side effects. If you are thinking about treatment for RAS, talk with your doctor or nurse about your risk of any of these side effects or complications.
Blood pressure pills
- Blood pressure medicines can cause side effects like dizziness, sexual problems, headache, and cough. The side effects differ depending on which blood pressure pills you take.
- Angioplasty and angioplasty plus stent can cause bruising, bleeding, and more damage to the kidneys. The arteries can also close up again.
- About 1 out of 100 people who get an angioplasty for RAS die within the first month of treatment. We don't know how that compares with people who just take pills for RAS.
When Will We Know More?
A research study that is going on right now is looking at which treatment is best for RAS. We will have results in 2010. The research study is called Cardiovascular Outcomes in Renal Atherosclerotic Lesions (CORAL). It is funded by the National Institutes of Health. It involves two groups of people with RAS. One group of people will have angioplasty with stent and then will keep on taking pills to control their blood pressure. The other group of people will take pills to treat their high blood pressure without getting the angioplasty.
Visit this Web site to learn more about the CORAL research study: www.coralclinicaltrial.org/public/index.html
The information in this guide comes from a detailed review of 56 research reports. The detailed review is called Comparative Effectiveness of Management Strategies for Renal Artery Stenosis (2006) and was written by the Tufts-New England Medical Center Evidence-based Practice Center.

What are some good Pokemon that can use Fly in Platinum? I'm having a hard time choosing one, so I'd like to hear what other people used. I also refuse to use a Staraptor, since I've used one before. I'm kind of in between Crobat and Drifblim...
What are some good Pokemon that can use Fly in Platinum? I'm having a hard time choosing one, so I'd like to hear what other people used. I also refuse to use a Staraptor, since I've used one before. I'm kind of in between Crobat and Drifblim...
Togekiss is a very unique, fun, and effective Pokemon to use. I looked it up and apparently in Platinum Cynthia will give you a Togepi egg at Route 230.
My Current Pokemon Anime Journey
Current Episode: Hoenn Alone! (277)
Agreeed. I have a Togetic right now in Platinum so far and it is really great. Togekiss looks really great and can learn a lot of great moves, like Flamethrower & Aura Sphere. It gets moves that cover all its weaknesses (except Electric), among many other types.
I'd recommend Togekiss as the one to learn Fly for you.
Spoiler:- My Pokémon Teams & Video Game Identities:
Claimed: Blastoise, Pokémon XY & Calem from Pokémon XY
Togekiss or Staraptor. They both have amazing offensive stats, and their speed is decent too. Even though Staraptor is overused in D/P/Pt, it holds the highest offensive stats of all 5 of the regional birds (Pidgeot, Noctowl, Swellow, and Unfezant)

Crobat is really fun to use. Plus you can actually utilize Fly in battles (Fly on Togekiss is meh). But personally, I would give Fly to an HM Pokemon. Tropius can learn Fly and 4 other HM moves, making him a very useful Pokemon that can save you the hassle of depositing Pokemon now and again just to use other HMs.
If you care about if it can use fly, use crobat. But if you just want a flying type, I strongly recommend Gliscor.
This "Pokemon Rainbow" rumored game is already killing me. I want it!
Also, general nintendo fans will probably like my youtube. I make unboxings and collection videos.
Thanks if you check it out
If you want a flyingpokemon that can learn fly, then take either Togekiss or Drifblim. Both are amazing to use.
Gliscor is another great option being a Dual Type of Ground/Flying, plus he can learn a great set of moves like Earthquake ect..
Crobat is a great addition to any team, with a set of Flying and Poison moves he can be a brillant offensively and with great speed he can get the first strike aswell.
May the flame burn forever
Crobat/Togekiss if you want to.
Togekiss for sure :! their special attacking power and moveset is destructive. Or gliscor for physical bashing power
I truly love Togekiss which is in my Johto team (SS), but in Gen IV, I won't take a flying bird in my team, only because the pokemon I like the most are on this land and that I want a team that I'll cherish forever -poetic moment-
Staraptor is good too... well, everybody knows.
Oh my Feebas !

Complete With Underbed Storage Drawer
Order in the next 10 hours 43 minutes for express home delivery on Monday
The Hampton Cot Bed has a refined and classic appearance featuring substantial curved top rails. This cot bed will suit any nursery and easily coverts to a starter bed, growing when you little one does. Suitable for children from birth - 6 years, the Hampton Cot Bed would perfectly suit any Princess or Prince.
Designer style without the designer price tag; that's the ethos behind our exclusive Kiddicouture label. Every piece in this seriously good looking collection is limited edition and comes with Kiddicare's hallmarks of the very best quality at the very best price.
The only con is, (which doesn't bother me) is the colour on the web page. The top photo is the colour of the Cotbed and the bottom two (brown ish colour) isn't correct. But apart from that it's well built, sturdy, and everything you could need for when you put your little one into a Cotbed. The colour is still nice but more of a yellow brown than brown. Again quick service couldn't ask for more.
Looks perfect. Very pleased with the product and the price!
This is a great product which was easy to put together. My son loves sleeping in it and it looks lovely in his bedroom.
We are extremely pleased with this product. It was easy to put together and looksuch more expensive than it was. It is finished to an extremely high standard.
excellent cot bed bigger then i expected which is good took about half hour to put together

text: GasBuddy Blog -- You might hear it on the evening news tonight. You might already be watching it on your computer. The price of crude oil took a beating today after a worse-than-expected jobs report showed far fewer jobs added to the economy than was expected. Couple that with more people leaving the work force, and its a recipe for disaster.Oil prices are closing out the week at their lowest levels in months, and motorists all over the country will soon be enjoying falling gasoline prices, if they haven't been already.

When you get a game pass from a friend you can try the full game for usually 1 or 2 days. Sometimes there are free weekends to try games like L4D2 as well. I personally dislike a bit that the "default" price for many games is relatively high and you have to wait for special deals to buy em for a reasonable amount of money (interestingly the price depends on the country you live in, in Germany you pay usually 20% more than in the US but Russians get a 66% discount). Beside from that i basically like Steam supports gifts that you can give your friends (or receive of course). I did not notice of any DRM restrictions other than you can not start the Steam client on 2 systems the sam time. Without Steam Guard i have it on several systems preinstalled but can of course use only 1 at a time - basically thats fair and i hope that Valve is successfull with Linux and a possible Steambox. I hope that 3rd party games receice speed optimisations because they could be really faster compared to Win. Also the load times for Source engine games need to improve drastically...
FWIW, I wasn't aware that you could get full trials like that on Steam. Good to know.
Still wouldn't touch it since Steam is malware, but hey, they're trying to be good malware
I didn't know you could try out the full version too. It is a really nice development if this is happening, and i am sure a key part of the success of Valve. As i said, i used to pirate games, right now i don't because i don't game at all.
Why the hate? Why you don't just enjoy the fruits and keep sitting on the fence: Certain GNU/Linux graphics drivers has become notable better because of Steam.
so far, spend 25€... and more will come... bought Amnesia a couple of days too early...
http://linuxlock.blogspot.com/2013/0...ids-table.html"Why does Google refuse to reference that Android or Chromebooks are Linux-based?"
He took a pull on his Shiner Bock and did something I didn't really expect.
He answered me. And I'm not going to use quotes because I didn't write it down but this is awful close:
Because Linux Users can't be trusted to behave if they are taken out into public.
Android doesn't reference Linux because it's trying to be it's own brand the same way Apple doesn't say "hey, we have BSD here"! I liken it to why GNU/Linux isn't the way you normally see a distro presented. such as Linux Mint, Arch Linux or Gentoo Linux. It's all about name recognition and Android sounds cooler than Android Linux... well I guess anyway, I kinda like the latter. I don't remember M$ saying it's DOS/WINDOWS!!!!

what the hell can counter that ****er lane lol xD
srsly my mates and me cant think of a more imba lane than that. u cant even get near the creeps aka exp leech.
Swiftblade + something.
Pickup very early vestments. Anything that can disjoint that monarch crap is good or as i said sb is nice, when youre released from pod spin that <50% ra to death. Dm, mk, ramp etc works also.
my experience is that doesnt work, to spin u need to get near them aka monarch stuns u and ra stuns u and ur dead. u dont get the chance to ever get a mystic vestment.
Yes you do.... 400g is nothing... Second of all the monarch thing can be disjointed, start spinning whilst its in-air before it hits you. Also tried laning with slither? Slither especially early game is a pain for ra. If you fear a ra lane then dont go a buckler hatchet runes build if you cant play it safe enough
srry mate u forget that sb is squishy early and need a support to actually kill someone they just pick off his support before he even gets near them, ur argument is invalid.
countered by acursed / jere to nem a few easy ones. There is nothing imba about such a lane. There is a lot of combos you can do like that (aoe stun hero / targeted stun hero)
Even if you dont happen to get anything directly useful against that lane your lane partner can jsut stun/cc/block ra as soon as monarch uses crippling pollean on you.
justtalked to a bunch of 1900s in drd they say it cant be countered by anything else than multiple ganks very early. im gonna go with their strats since i tried the 2 posted here and they didnt work.
Its not that my argument is invalid its that you're bad...
For ra to kill anything there he has to use his hp which makes him food for any bursty dps or swift. Ye accursed/jera also good. How is monarch even getting close to your support. And so what if your support dies?! If they focus your support you should be at high hp ready to rape ra. How is this hard to understand?!
srry too many high rated agree with me to make me change my mindset. one stun from monarch and ra and ur dead ra doesnt even need to go in, he can just cast a stun and go back.
If Monarch puts the butterfly on you, disjoint it. If she does it on Slither just push ra away. Slither should be able to harass Ra enough so he wont try it again.
Practice mode lvl 5 monarch + ra vs lvl 5 swift. Lvl 3 q lvl 2 w on mona lvl 3 q lvl 2 w on ra ( build youd never go) swift has 701 hp without items. About 190 hp left after taking full dmg from both... And q stun only 2.5 sec on monarch there... With 400g on vestments that is 290 hp... This is taking full durations from q and w on both heroes and never spinning or moving.
Yes this is not counting autoattacks but in a real scenario youd have a lanepartner and use spin/brain aswell.
You just got served
srry tony was the only whos correct. god go out of trainning forum u cant give good advices xD.
Any doublestun or stun+burst lane can easily kill paper Monarch.
She dies so easily, you can mostly prevent her from using her cocoon - and even if she does you still get a lot of time to walk away.
Ra solo is no real danger unless you are incapable of walking away from his stun.
☾ [Soundmod Collection] ☀ My Little Pony Friendship is Magic -☁ open for requests ♫-
There are two approaches you can take
1. Be more aggressive than they are and kill Monarch. This can be achieved with the traditional pyro mag lane or any other kill lane

Last week New York City Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio announced that he was selecting William Bratton, who led the Los Angeles Police Department from 2002 to 2009, to serve as New York Police Commissioner. Bratton previously served as New York's police commissioner in the early 1990s under Mayor Rudolph Giuliani. As a result, some de Blasio supporters have reacted with surprise. During his campaign, de Blasio had promised to end the police practice of "stopping and frisking" large numbers of minority youths. Yet most New Yorkers know Bratton as former mayor Rudolph Giuliani's top cop, the police commissioner who swept away New York City's squeegee men, cracked down on public disorder, and pressed cops to make more arrests.
There's no denying Bratton's experience or his record of innovation. (Former Governing publisher Peter Harkness has described Compstat, the computerized crime tracking system that Bratton introduced in New York and used to force responsibility and accountability down to the precinct captain rank, as the most significant public sector innovation of our time. Cities such as Baltimore and Louisville and states like Washington have since made it a centerpiece of their management systems.) Nonetheless, the Bratton announcement surprised caught many New Yorkers. READ MORE
Cities are known for their anchor institutions. The Smithsonian museums in Washington, D.C.; the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City; Millennium Park in Chicago; the University of Texas at Austin; the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota; the various Children's Museums in most major cities; the list goes on and on. Residents take deep pride in "their" institutions, whether owned by a government agency or a tax-exempt organization.
Take the Detroit Institute of Art. It's city-owned institution, a civic anchor on Woodward Avenue for over a century and a symbol of a great city. The Institute is also a rallying point for city residents who fear that Detroit's climbing into the Chapter 9 ambulance might require liquidating a few prized assets, like the artist Diego Rivera's famous Detroit Industry Fresco cycle of paintings. Would Detroit appeal to the sense of belonging or to one's identity if it no longer had a publicly-owned museum? READ MORE
Newly elected New York City mayor Bill de Blasio chose to hold his election party on Tuesday night at the Fourteenth Regiment Armory, a block-long, castle-like structure, which is just a few blocks from his home in Park Slope, Brooklyn. There was a certain irony in this tall man, said to be the city's first populist mayor-elect in several generations, holding his victory party in a city armory, which were constructed in the late 19th and early 20th century for a very unpopulist mission: quelling civil unrest, or crowd control.
On the stage, with his African-American wife and children by his side and a phalanx of appropriately diverse New Yorkers placed on bleachers as a backdrop behind him, he did not flinch from his campaign theme of "a tale of two cities." READ MORE
Today, there is no one superhero leader, institution or sector that can singlehandedly solve our seemingly intractable social and economic problems. And, traditional collaboration won't be sufficient either. This consensus has led to the emergence of a movement where cross-sector leaders come together to think strategically about how their differentiated, but coordinated activities can achieve significantly better results. It's called collective impact for systems change: long term efforts by diverse partners to align towards a large-scale [solution] driven by data and shared accountability. This movement holds great promise for propelling us into the next generation of problem-solving, but getting there requires significant discipline and rigor.
Collective impact, as a form of dynamic collaboration, has been transforming systems in cities across the country. Urban leaders are putting aside self-interests and collaborating over the long term to build new, civic, problem-solving infrastructure. They are working to re-engineer interconnected, but broken systems to ensure that people are prepared for 21st century employment, that places can connect them to opportunity, and that opportunities to grow income and reduce income inequality exist.

The growth of charter schools is choking public school resources and hurting their credit ratings, argues Moody's in a new report.
The effect is especially pronounced in the urban centers of the Northeast and Midwest, where population declines and a steady shift to greater charter school enrollment is draining schools of cash. The problem comes down to those enrollment factors, a system's ability to adjust spending and state policies promoting the growth of charters. READ MORE

The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
Confidence in his side could have dissipated after disappointing losses to Australia and South Africa in the past fortnight, but Lancaster insisted it was only a matter of time before his youthful squad delivered a world-beating performance in response.
Boasting nine new faces compared to the side that started the RBS Six Nations against Scotland back in February, England produced one of their finest ever performances at Twickenham.
And in ending the All Blacks' 20-game unbeaten run, Lancaster pointed to his squad's improved composure throughout the autumn internationals as the decisive factor.
"To put a scoreline on a side as good as New Zealand is way beyond what we hoped for," said Lancaster. "But ultimately we had the belief throughout the week. To be honest we've had the belief through the last few weeks.
"We were disappointed of course with the last two defeats but you just got the sense in the last week that we were building towards something special. I'm so pleased for the boys that they got it.
"There was a lot of composure at half-time, real clarity of thought - we weren't getting carried away. I think that's where we've grown in the last few weeks, that clarity of thought in the heat of battle has really improved.
"We've always had the energy and the attitude and the character but today we put the top six inches on.
"I'm chuffed for the boys. We've all copped it in the last few weeks but they are the ones who have put the graft in.
"We've always had the intent - we always want to play in the right areas. The way we mixed up our game, our driving game, our scrum, our defence was outstanding.
"We really, really stepped up I felt. Owen Farrell's kicking game was outstanding. Tom Wood was man of the match and deservedly so - but I could have picked another 14."

Holiday Entertaining Tips from Designer Kim Seybert
Filed under: Decor, Holiday Guides, Lux Tips
Kim Seybert, a world-renowned designer spoke to Luxist and gave us her six favorite tips for throwing the perfect holiday gathering.
Seybert is widely credited with being the creator of "fashion for the table". She successfully translated her skills as an evening gown and cocktail dress designer to the home with the creation of Kim Seybert, her namesake company, for which she designs gorgeous and elegant placemats, napkins, napkin rings, table runners, tablecloths, glasses, bath accessories and home decor accessories. Seybert's extensive line of table wear and home accessories is available for purchase on the Kim Seybert website as well as at such luxury retailers as Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, and Barneys New York, and Horchow.
Seybert's designs often feature the same techniques she used when designing glamorous evening gowns. As a result, her designs are so stunning, they present an easy alternative to re-decorating a home. Seybert's spectacular napkin rings (see image below), for example, feature extensive beading and are so gorgeous they are often referred to as "jewelry for the table".

Places Discussed (Cyclopedia of Literary Places)
Bath. Resort town in western England; it and its surrounding area would have been as familiar to London theater audiences as similar well-known resort areas would be to modern readers, and Sheridan capitalizes on well-known facts of the leisure lifestyles of the fashionable in Bath. For example, it was well known that dueling was forbidden in the city yet there were convenient places outside the city where duels were common. Sheridan refers to familiar places in the city such as the North Promenade and the New Rooms. Especially does he laugh at the well-known fashion of circulating libraries in the town. So, in order to do the play justice, audiences must see the world of the play as that of fashionable, leisure society removed for the summer to Bath.
North Parade
North Parade. Fashionable promenade in Bath that is a place of leisurely walks and fashionable encounters between lovers.
King's-Mead-Fields. Location of the duel, a place well known for its duels outside the town walls on the Avon River.

Historical Context
High Georgian Theater
Theater in Sheridan's time appealed to everyone who could afford to attend. Prices ranged from one to five shillings, which amounts to roughly five to twenty-five American dollars in today's monetary terms. After the license of Restoration Theater, Georgian Theater must have seemed almost prudish. Gone were the bawdy burlesques, with their ribald humor. Instead, the plays would be drawn from the new Comedy of Manners, as well as wellknown stock pieces from the Shakespeare repertoire, the latter usually representing half of the season's offerings.
The newly revived and adapted Comedy of Manners plays contained a moral embedded in highly sentimentalized drama or comedy. It is this genre of sentimental comedy, also known as the comédie larmoyante (''crying comedy'' ) that Sheridan adapted and satirized in The Rivals and The School for Scandal. For this reason, his comedies, and those of Oliver Goldsmith, were known as ''laughing comedies,'' a term coined by Goldsmith in an essay on the theater.
The reason for the shift away from court humor to moralizing humor lay in the interests of the new middle class, hungry to gain respectability and to learn how to advance in society. Theater became a vehicle of knowledge as well as a badge of status in itself. The novel as a popular genre was born during this time to reach the same audience, who had the leisure time to read...

Literary Style
The Comedy of Manners
The Comedy of Manners hails from the Restoration period (1660–1700), but was revived a hundred years later toward the end of the eighteenth century by Richard Sheridan and his contemporary Oliver Goldsmith. While Restoration comedy was bawdy and playfully lewd, the eighteenth-century version is refined and genteel. Both satirize the affected manners of sophisticated society. Often the plot revolves around a love affair, which takes the form of a pitched battle with words as weapons. The dialogue is witty and characters are distinguished by their ability to match wits with their partners. Characters are usually thinly drawn, representing types rather than individual personalities. Emphasis is placed on the language, such as wit and clever double-entendres, rather than the characters' motives or actions.
The Comedy of Manners of the eighteenth century served a different audience than that of the Restoration period. Whereas the early Comedy of Manners was designed to entertain those it ridiculed— the social elite—later variations of this form of comedy served a more diverse audience, which included a growing middle class hungry to acquire the social mannerisms necessary to move up the social ladder.
Sheridan and Goldsmith revived the Comedy of Manner as a protest to the plays of sentimental comedy that predominated in the middle eighteenth century. Didactic and moralizing, sentimental comedies with...

Compare and Contrast
Eighteenth Century: A small group of women intellectuals, nicknamed ''bluestockings,'' claims to be the equal of male intellectuals, but they are both rare and resented. Samuel Johnson expresses a typical sentiment when he remarks about a female preacher, ''A woman's preaching is like a dog walking on his hinder legs. It is not well done; but you are surprised to find it done at all.''
Today: While women professionals and intellectuals no longer suffer such ridicule for their accomplishments, they do not necessarily command equal pay or respect compared to their male counterparts.
Eighteenth Century: Formal education is available only for men, and being costly, only for landed or wealthy men. A handful of daughters of enlightened fathers enjoy home tutoring, and a few philanthropists try to provide education for less affluent young men. For the middle class, an education is the marker and the passkey for entry to high society. This class of ambitious young men becomes a willing market for tutors, conduct guides, and newspaper columns aimed at educating them.
Today: Public education is available for men and women of all socioeconomic groups. However, a growing number of non-English-speaking immigrants presents challenges to school systems to offer this group equal access to society through equal education.
Eighteenth Century: Going to the theater is popular and...

Topics for Further Study
Read one of the sentimental novels of the eighteenth century, such as Laurence Sterne's Sentimental Journal through France and Italy. After reading it, identify several defining aspects of the sentimental man. You might also consider contrasting the qualities of the sentimental man with those of a sentimental woman, as portrayed in Charlotte Lennox's The Female Quixote.
At the end of the play, Lydia decides to marry Jack. Do you agree with her assessment of him as a marriage prospect?
What special considerations of the status of women in the eighteenth century, as opposed to that of women in the twenty-first century, might affect the female protagonist's choices of suitable marriage partners?
What roles do Mrs. Malaprop and Bob Acres play in this comedy? How do their language difficulties reflect on the issues that cause con- flict between the lovers?
Read Oliver Goldsmith's ''An Essay on the Theatre; Or, A Comparison Between Laughing and Sentimental Comedy'' (1773). Define ''Laughing Comedy,'' and then, find evidence in Sheridan's play that supports the interpretation that The Rivals is a ''laughing comedy.''
(The entire section is 181 words.)
Media Adaptations
In 1961, The Rivals was transformed into a musical with words by Bruce Geller and music by Jacques Urbont. The show starred a then new and unknown actor named Dom Deluise. The musical script is available from Music Theatre International in New York City. A 1962 sound recording of the production is available from Mercury records.
(The entire section is 54 words.)
What Do I Read Next?
In Samuel Richardson's 1740–1741 Pamela, Or Virtue Rewarded, a young servant girl fights to repulse the advances of her master, eventually forcing him to legitimize his desire through marriage.
Frances Burney's Evalina; Or, The History of a Young Lady's Entrance into the World (1778) is the story of a witty and plucky young girl who selects her mate from a host of admirers.
Elizabeth Inchbald's A Simple Story (1791) relates the plight of a young girl who falls in love with her protector, who inconveniently happens to be a priest.
In Charlotte Lennox's The Female Quixote (1752), a naïve female protagonist—influenced by reading too many romantic novels—persists in being completely honest, no matter what the circumstances, to the bafflement of her friends and would-be lovers.
London Assurance (1841), by Dion Boucicault, is a drawing room farce with aptly metaphorical character names, and it also portrays the plight of a son whose father wants to marry him off to the very girl with whom he has already fallen in love.
Oscar Wilde's Comedy of Manners The Importance of Being Earnest (1895) is a spectacularly witty take on the theme of the mistaken identity of a lover.

GiovannaExcellent!I used to use this hair dryer in jr high and high school and i am not amazing at doing my own hair or anyone else's for that matter. My mother had bought it and I was too broke to go to the hair salon so I started doing my hair at home. And I have to say this dryer was so amazing to me back then, my hair dried so fast and it was nice and fluffy and healthy looking. I have fine african hair thats not really kinky or anything, just very very fine without a relaxer. I also think my mother had bought the solano comb attachment and if your hair easily tangles like mine, you can still be able to win the battle! I would recommend this to anyone along with the solano combo attachment if you need it. My only advice is to use either a leave in conditioner or just use a tiny bit of your own conditioner and leave it in, or to use a moisturizing heat protector if you like the high heat or likely to use your flat iron afterward. Simple and works wonders!posted Jun 23, 2010Link to this post

It seemed to take forever for my hair to dry and I noticed a lot of frizz. I ended up ordering this one and tried it for the first time. I have below the shoulder length thick hair and it was dry and looked great within 10 minutes. I hate drying my hair and the cheap hair dryer made it such a hassle. I am glad I decided to go with this. Very pleased! I don't normally do reviews but an extra Folica added prompted me to and then couldn't not write about how happy I am with this dryer.posted Jan 15, 2010Link to this post

It used to be that "troll" was an Internet verb. It meant posting a controversial topic on a website and waiting to see what sort of flame war you could start. Nowadays it's morphed into a noun referring to those nasty cyber-vermin that get on forums and say stupid things just to make trouble.
I'm going to put out a deliberate "troll" in the classic sense. I am trolling for opinions here, and I am doing it to spark some meaningful discussion.
This is a somewhat narrow question for whitetail deer hunters east of the Mississippi: At what ranges do you normally shoot deer?
Here is my answer:
One of the things that is usually a sure tip to me that the deer hunter I am talking to is newbie or a poser is when he gets to talking about distance. A few years ago, I had a guy come up from Georgia to help with an install at the plant. We got to talking about deer hunting. He was all set. He was going to be hunting at his club-- all thickets and swamps. He had a brand new bolt gun in 300 WIN that "was going to give him the extra reach he needed."
In the back of my mind, I got to wondering how he was going to need a 300 Win to go hunt in the swamps, but I let it pass. I'm sure there are plenty of places in Georgia where a 300 yard shot is not out of the question. That was the range he was talking about.
A few months later he left the company and one day I was gossiping with one of my compatriots. Turns out our buddy did own a 300 Win . Yes, he did have a membership in a club, but he spent most of his time drinking at camp and had never gotten past firing a few shots with his rifle and never gone beyond just having it bore-sighted. The kick had been too much for him.
Now, I'm not calling anyone who hunts with a 300 Win Mag a poser. I'm not saying guys who talk about shooting deer at 300 yards are liars and sofa jockeys. However, I am saying that most real deer hunters who live in the real world see real whitetail deer at really close distances. In real woods east of the Mississippi, you can be hard pressed to get a shooting opportunity past 100 yards, and you can go your entire real hunting career never needing to shoot much beyond that. I'll take one more step out onto the limb and say that if you regularly hunt deer at ranges over 100 yards, you are passing up huntable deer that can be shot closer than that.
I have hunted in the Ohio River Valley and its tributaries all my career. My longest deer shots to date:
[ul][*] With a rifle -- 80 yards[*] With a bow -- 15 yards[*] With a muzzleloader -- 65 yards[*] Longest shot ever while deer hunting -- 165 yard coyote kill with a 30-06[/ul]Things that make me wonder:
[ul][*]12 power scopes on deer rifles that have superior performance starting at 300 yards. [*]Muzzleloaders that can shoot to 200 yards[*]Slug guns that shoot 200 yards[/ul]I'm not saying they're wrong or unethical. I happen to have a 4-12 power scope on my Model 70, but I keep it cranked back to 4 power. I'm just saying that I wonder about spending all that money and bench time, working up a 200 yard load for a muzzleloader or slug gun when ol' Mossy Horns will be poking his head out of the bushes a stone's throw away.

Your doctor prescribed a nitroglycerin for you. Nitroglycerin relieves angina (chest pain caused by a lack of blood to the heart) by getting more oxygen-rich blood to your heart. Long-acting nitroglycerin helps prevent angina. Follow the steps below for taking long-acting nitroglycerin.
The name of my long-acting nitroglycerin medication is ____________________________________.
Follow the fact sheet that came with your medication. It tells you when and how to take your medication. Ask for a sheet if you didn't get one.
Don't suddenly stop using nitroglycerin. This could cause an angina attack. If you wish to stop taking your medication, talk with your doctor first.
Limit alcohol intake. Too much alcohol can cause dizziness or fainting.
Do not take Viagra, Levitra, or Cialis (drugs used to treat impotence) at all if you use long-acting nitroglycerin. The combination of nitroglycerin with Viagra, Levitra, or Cialis can cause a severe drop in blood pressure. This can lead to dizziness, fainting, heart attack (also known as acute myocardial infarction, or AMI), or stroke.
To use a nitroglycerin patch
Remove the old patch.
Apply a new patch to a clean, dry place on your chest or upper arm.
Pick a new place each time you put on a new patch.
Don't apply a patch where your skin is hairy, cut, irritated, scarred, or tattooed.
To use a nitroglycerin tablet or capsule
Take the tablet or capsule 60 minutes before or 2 hours after eating.
Swallow the medication with a glass of water.
Don't break, chew, or crush the tablet or capsule.
To use a nitroglycerin ointment
Measure the prescribed amount of ointment onto the paper that comes with it.
Tape the paper in place with skin tape for as long as instructed, then remove it.
Use a new spot each time you apply the ointment.
Tell your doctor if you have any of these side effects. Never stop taking the medication until your doctor tells you to. Mild side effects include:
More gas (flatulence) than normal
Hair loss
Decreased appetite
Weight loss
Flushing (redness of the face, neck, or chest)
Call your doctor immediately if you have any of the following:
Severe headache
Severe dizziness or fainting
Nausea or vomiting
Fast heartbeat (higher than 100 beats per minute)

Excellent seat. 3 year old said he's very comfortable in his new seat and loves the fact you can plug mummy's phone in and listen to music or play games
This is the 3rd one I have bought, one each for me and my husbands car and this one for the grandparents car, we bought another brand before this one but found it didnt attach to the car so it easily moved around, we returned that model and did some more research and found this car seat did exactly what we wanted , it clips into the back of the seat with seatfix (most cars already have it in) then the seatbelt attaches normally, we found that my 3 year old was getting too big for the step down car seat and especially when he had a big coat on the straps were getting too tight, I would highly reccommend this seat, it was also very reasonable priced, we got the seats when Kiddicare had a 15% offer on too.

Last week, Kim Kardashian went on Jay Leno to promote her new movie, Temptation, and talk all things Baby West. Noticeably absent? Her new bangs, which the star declared via Instagram to be "over." Blunt bangs, like the ones she debuted just weeks ago, can be hard to keep up-and are definitely not for the fickle, since they can take six months or more to grow out fully. If you, like Kim, are feeling buyer's remorse about hopping aboard one of the hottest trends of the season, here's how to hide them:
Kim's soft waves don't look like they've been doused in product, but she most likely got some help keeping her fringe off her face. To keep your bangs at bay, try using a dollop of Nexxus Exxtra Gel, parting hair to the side like Kim or slicking bangs straight back into a sleek ponytail. Finish with hair spray.

In the shower: After menopause, your scalp starts to produce less of the oils that "hydrate and strengthen your hair, and add shine," says Francesca Fusco, a dermatologist in New York City. That means you can go longer between shampoos without getting greasy--and you probably should, since shampoo strips hair of even more oil after it removes dirt and grime. Try sudsing up just the hair at your roots, and look for moisturizing shampoos (they're relatively gentle) or formulas that contain essential oils like almond, sunflower, and rosemary that help nourish the hair follicle so new hair can grow in stronger (provided you massage them into the root well) says Fusco. Two...Read More »- We're all naturally blonde, right? I mean, at least we started out that way… or most of us anyway, but being blonde as an adult is expensive and keeping blonde tresses their perfect shade of blonde, is upkeep indeed.

Thinning Hair
It's normal to shed up to 150 strands of hair a day. But over time you produce less hair and the diameter of the shaft thins as growth slows, explains Dr. Jeni Thomas, principal scientist for P&G Beauty. Instead of thickening products that just bind fibers together, look for something that contains caffeine or panthenol to actually increase the diameter of hair.

Iced Tea Brewing Stack
I have a sister who is so hard to buy for, I sometimes just give up and send a gift certificate to her favorite store. She is also a dedicated tea drinker, so I was thrilled to discover the Iced Tea Brewing Stack gift on our site! It's Pyrex, a name we all know and trust! And it's way cooler than the electric tea brewer that everyone has stashed at the back of their appliance cupboard next to that dusty electric bread maker that your mother-in-law was sure you needed about 10 years ago. What a great birthday, anniversary, graduation gift or just for no reason at all.

Hi Welcome to Gingerscraps,
I love your layouts and I am amazed you manage to do them in MS Word. How do you do the shadowing etc in MSWord, maybe you can share your secrets.
Congratulations again
Yeah I wanna know how you work in word too, I never knew you could do anything like that in word. Welcome to GS, you will love it here!
Made using My Only One by Keep In Touch Designs
Thanks everyone!! It's a little time consuming to work in Word, but you get used to it. I'll be happy to write up a little something for you
The only downfall is that it's limited to some things, like I can't (or probably I just don't know how..LOL) change the color of some things, only to the set colors. Or I can't crop specific shapes.
My signature actually came from a QP freebie from Connie Prince's blog (THANKS!) plus another mini-kit from her. I just sorta cropped things here and there and pieced it together.
Welcome! I was thinking the same thing - MS Word?! WOWza. I'd love for you to post a tutorial on it, go for it
Hi Emelyn!

Please help me decide and refine the pricing for my new SAAS application. I already have an installable application and about launch a service on the cloud with monthly subscriptions.
I have put together 7 plan variations including a free plan.
Is this too many plans?
In reality there are only two plans free and single user. Rest are just multi user packs.
Here is a screenshot explaining the plans https://www.wireframes.org/ui/data/admin/my_nature_library_4ed6e66268277/wireframe_pricing_4ed7ab47827cd.png
Please help me refine this. Thank you so much
EDIT: Based on the suggestions I have modified the pricing to include 3 plans. I like the idea of just free trial . Please comment on the three plans and if it is suitable.

Blind Item #7
This B+ list mostly television actress now but an Academy Award winner/nominee in her past did a play last year. She insisted her hair and makeup people be of a certain race. The producers hired some people for her and the actress called them incompetent and unprofessional... and had them fired after opening night. Charges are pending because the two women hired filed grievances with their union. This could get very messy.

A Toyota supplier is coming to Union County, UCDA Director Stephen Surles said Monday at the Union County Board of Supervisors meeting.
The name and location of the plant will not be disclosed until a formal announcement is made, but Surles said the supplier has committed to come to the county.
We are waiting to hear from the corporate officials at the company to see if they would like to attend the formal announcement, Surles said. This is great news for Union County.

We're all thirsty and we don't even know it.
But an Estonian start-up called Jomi Interactive aims to solve this problem.
Although they're only in a developmental stage right now (Read: Give us your money!), the company managed to turn more than a few heads online this week when prototypes of their new products were featured on TechCrunch and several other websites.
The product is a Jomi band (or sleeve). You attach it around your water bottle and it monitors your fluid intake, reminding you, with sounds and LED indicators, that, perhaps, its time to drink more water.
Or, if you've filled your Nalgene with vodka, then perhaps it's time to stroll through the hallway naked, stealing office supplies.
"Dude, that's my highlighter."
Naturally, the band will also sync up to your mobile device via Bluetooth so you can check your hydration stats. Presumably while you urinate for the next 30 minutes.
What you might actually do with this water-consumption info is sort of a mystery, but I suppose sharing it with friends is no less ridiculous than pontificating over your fantasy football results.
In fact, I'd rather hear all about your fluid intake far more than how many fake points Tom Brady scored in your Week 3 win over the A-Town Booger Heads.
Hopefully, unlike those super-fantasy nerds, Jomi fanatics will eventually give it a rest. Because the start-up claims their crusade is "to make sure we never forget it."
"It" being to drink water.
That, or the Alamo.
So, it'll be interesting to see if this product eventually takes off. Especially since at least one similar product already exists in the market -- the HydraCoach.
(Now with the special Rutgers Edition! When it's time to drink, HydraCoach will call you a homophobic slur and launch basketballs at your head! Operators are standing by!)
Sadly, however, despite all these innovative devices, and despite the fact that water is so important to our health, I don't think I'll ever actually give up on Diet Coke. I'm in the cult. And I'm in it real bad.
But not THAT bad.
You see, the day you start selling black market copper wire to pay for Diet Coke is the day you realize you have a serious problem.
And when you then find yourself missing your kid's T-ball game to slug down 20-ouncers under a bridge with actual addicts, that's when it's time to officially re-evaluate your life.
"Hey, man, beat it! This place is for serious drugs!"
Fortunately, for me, it never came to that. But there was certainly a semi-dangerous period in life where my body's entire liquid intake consisted only of Diet Coke. And I say that without a hint of hyperbole.
On a normal day I would drink three or four cans at work and then come home to literally chug out of a 2-liter bottle from the fridge.
I'm very classy. Chicks dig me.
But they don't dig me nearly as much as my dog, Mikey, who would anxiously stare up into my eyes as I power-blasted "daddy's medicine."
Mikey stared partly because I think he was amazed at what a disgusting, chemically infused human pig I had become. But he also stared because he was (and is) always a grateful recipient of the empty plastic bottle.
Which, for a dog, is basically like getting a new Nintendo 64 every single day. You know, back when that was actually a relevant analogy.
