Read the Vivotif Oral (typhoid vaccine) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
Interactions with Other Medicines
The vaccine should not be administered concurrently with antibiotics or other drugs (eg. sulphonamides) that are active against salmonellae. The vaccine should be administered first and at least 3 days should elapse between the final dose of the vaccine and such drugs.
The simultaneous administration of Vivotif Oral Typhoid Vaccine and parenteral (live attenuated) yellow fever vaccine, or inactivated vaccines, or oral polio vaccines, or parenteral immunoglobulin preparations, has been reported not to interfere with the immune response. See also under "Anti-Malaria Prophylaxis" in "Interactions with Other Medicines".
Anti-Malaria Prophylaxis
In the case of planned anti-malarial prophylaxis, immunisation with Vivotif Oral Typhoid Vaccine should precede anti-malaria prophylaxis. The interval between the last dose of Vivotif Oral Typhoid Vaccine and the beginning of anti-malarial prophylaxis should, in general, be at least 3 days.
If anti-malaria prophylaxis has been started, the minimum interval between the last dose of anti-malaria prophylaxis and the first dose of Vivotif Oral Typhoid Vaccine should be at least 3 days.
This 3-day interval should generally be regarded as optimal.
Chloroquine and/or pyrimethamine/sulfadoxine
Vivotif Oral Typhoid Vaccine can be given with chloroquine and/or pyrimethamine/sulfadoxine. In these studies, the anti-malarials were given first, followed 12 hours later by Vivotif Oral (typhoid vaccine) Typhoid capsule.
Mefloquine can be given concomitantly with Vivotif Oral Typhoid Vaccine. A lower IgG response was observed compared to taking Vivotif Oral Typhoid Vaccine alone, however the immune response was not affected and vaccine efficacy was not compromised.
Atavoquone and proguanil, fixed combination
Atavaquone and proguanil (fixed combination formulation) may be given concomitantly with Vivotif Oral Typhoid Vaccine.
Proguanil, when given alone, should be administered only if 10 days or more have elapsed since the final dose of Vivotif Oral Typhoid Vaccine.

Why on Earth Would the Obama Campaign Call Solyndra 'Successful and Innovative'? Because It Was.
In this cauldron of stupidity we call a presidential campaign, the scandal of the minute is Obama campaign spokeswoman Lis Smith's description of Solyndra as "successful and innovative." She actually said Solyndra was "widely praised as successful and innovative." She said this not because she wanted to trend on Twitter, but because Solyndra was, in fact, widely praised as successful and innovative
Chinese Competition Sank Govt-backed Abound Solar-Executives
Abound Solar was doomed by Chinese subsidies that helped flood the market with solar panels, former company executives said on Wednesday as Republicans delved into the latest failure of a government-backed solar panel manufacturer.
SEIA & COSEIA Statement on Colorado PUC Dismissal of Appeal to Revise XCEL Energy's Renewable Energy Plan
COLORADO—Today the Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC) dismissed an appeal submitted by the Solar Energy Industries Association® (SEIA®) and the Colorado Solar Energy Industries Association (COSEIA) regarding Xcel Energy's renewable energy compliance plan. The appeal included two requested changes to Xcel's 2012-2013 Compliance Plan that would have improved the business climate for Colorado solar businesses, which employ more than 6,000 people in the state.

President Obama's fiscal 2013 budget request doubles down on renewable energy amid growing Republican attacks on the administration's green agenda
Cheap Solar Power at Night
Solar power has two main problems: it's expensive, and it's intermittent, since the output of a solar power plant depends on the time of day and cloud cover. Halotechnics, an early-stage solar-thermal startup, could help solve both problems.

- Foundation Match question Review by Veronica

I purchased the pressed base in Honey Medium.....what would be the match in the luxe liquid foundation?
Response from glo: The best match for Honey Medium in Luxe would be brulee.

I've used a lot of very high end foundations. Most seem to be lacking due to the fact that I have aging skin, Rosacea and very sensitive skin.This is the BEST foundation ever! A few drops goes a long way and spreads evenly. I love it!!!

After sampling the Luxe I can not use any other foundation. The fluidity is wonderful, however a little goes a long way! Luxe offers enough coverage for even your worst days your skin is radiant. I love Luxe!

- LOVE this foundation! Review by Kristin
Price Value Quality
This is my favorite foundation that I have ever used! I use different bases from glominerals, depending on the look that I am trying to achieve, but this one is my absolute favorite. The one thing that i would note is that it is a very thin liquid compared to the Satin II's, but the coverage and redness-camouflaging properties are superior even though it is much lighter in weight on my skin. I don't have to use concealer on my blemishes, because this base does the work itself. And after seeing my skin in recent pictures that were taken, I am even more excited about the Luxe Liquid.

- LOVE LUXE! Review by Jessica
Price Value Quality
I tried a sample of Luxe about three weeks ago and after a few days, became hooked! Now I am anxiously waiting for my shipment to arrive. Once you find a good foundation, you have to stick with it. This is the best one I've ever tried. It is very light but gives great coverage and gives your skin a really nice glow. I also have sensitive skin and this one is great for me. I can't say enough positive things about how much I love Luxe.

Liquid Gold, or should I say Diamonds. A little goes along way . This little gem is very fluid and spreads easily over the skin.

- Just okay... Review by Ashley
Quality Price Value
I tried to look for reviews for this product before I bought it but I couldn't find any.. So I felt compelled to write one.
Ok- first let me say that I was really excited to try this foundation- I love the light diffusing foundations (usually use Guerlain or Chanel) and I mix them with a full coverage foundation which yields a medium/ full coverage with a nice glow. The finish of this product is nice but I definitely don't think it's worth $54. It's EXTREMELY watery... like if you try to squeeze a pump onto the tips of your fingers to apply it, it'll just run through your fingers and all over the place. Even squeezing a pump on to the back of your hand and using a foundation brush to apply is a watery mess... seriously disappointing. In addition to the difficulty in applying, it's not moisturizing at all and does not apply to the skin easily. When I use even drug store brands (I use Revlon Color Stay as the full coverage foundation I mix with) they seem to apply to the skin better than this much higher priced foundation. When I think of "Luxe" I'm thinking a creamy, dewy, light diffusing foundation that blends into the skin easily and comfortably- but this is definitely not the case. I'll pay 5 more dollars and stick to the real luxury brands.
Note from glo: Thank you for your review and feedback, Ashley. We're sorry to hear your experience with Luxe Liquid Foundation SPF 15 was not what you expected and want you to know we have passed your comments along to our product development team.

As soon as the first leaves begin to turn color and fall, I know that Halloween is just around the corner. 'Course, when I was a little girl, "just around the corner" felt like an eternity. I must've asked Momma a thousand times, "How many more days?" I have such fond memories of Halloween. For one night I could be anything I wanted to be—and boy did I believe it. I'd pull on my old recital tutu and imagine I was the prima ballerina in "Swan Lake." Or I'd pull on some of Daddy's rag-tag clothes he kept for workin' in the yard and fancy myself a hobo. I begged for candy like it was the only meal I'd get all day, and it must've worked because I ended up with enough candy to last me the whole year.
Sure I was cute, but there is just nothing more precious than a baby dressed up for Halloween. I've seen a hot tamale, a peacock and even a pea pod. The parents seem to enjoy it most, snapping pictures left and right. Brooke has always been so good about having my grandson Jack participate, no matter how small he was. When he was just eight weeks old, she dressed him up like a turkey! Can you imagine that? I almost had to cancel Thanksgiving, y'all. Then the next year he came to my door dressed as the most adorable spider I've ever seen. That child could've taken me for all I'm worth—and I think he did . . . in candy. Now that I have two new grandbabies, I'm not sure my heart will even be able to take it.
Y'all, Jack and those new grandbabies give me even more reason to come up with ways to make Halloween special. This year I'm making Candy Gloves—plastic gloves filled with treats and tied with a ribbon. You can either fill 'em with your favorite candy or try your "hand" at my colorful, homemade Monster Mix. I figure the kids get so much sugar that the least I can do is offer them something a bit more satisfying, like popcorn and nuts. And in my experience, presentation is everything—kids are more likely to eat food that is fun. Plus, Candy Gloves make for great, edible decorations!
When I was little, I always said that I'd grow up to have the best trick-or-treatin' house around—one of those houses that handed out gift bags or super-sized candy. Never would I hand out carrot sticks or tell a child to "just take one." Maybe it's petty wanting to be the best Halloween house on the block, but one thing's for sure: it's the most fun I have all year.Read More From Holidays and Entertaining.

Paula, I hear ya. My husband and I love Halloween. Unfortunately we don't ever get many trick-or-treaters, but we're always prepared for 100 hahaha. I'm from upstate NY, and in March 2010 we moved up there. Last Halloween was amazing. We lived on a busy street and had bought 3 or 4 big bags of candy. When we ran low I hurried to the store for more. We almost ran out again, so I went back to the store and got 2 more bags, since it was getting late. I got home to find that my husband had run out of candy and had started giving away DVD's from his collection. I laughed so hard at him. He had the time of his life.

You know…sometimes you just want to write about stupid shit and you really wish you could because you don't want to think about your friend Josh, who just spent six weeks in a psychiatric hospital after the men in the white coats came and took him away because he lost his mind doing bath salts.
You really want to talk to him but he hasn't come over since he was released, probably because the last time you saw him he was all paranoid and delusional and you had to have your husband tell him not to come over anymore. You have kids to consider and even though they love Josh, they can't be around someone who is constantly searching your house for imaginary intruders and begging you to tell him what the secret number is and slipping you notes containing warnings about your family's impending assassination.
And so when you find out he's been released from the hospital, you go to his house a few times but he's never there. You know from a mutual friend that his stepfather intended to kick him out and he will soon be homeless if he isn't already. You suspect he's totally unemployable now and you know he has no money and you know everyone else has written him off, including his mom, the original super-intense Chinese Tiger Mother.
You're worried about him staying clean and you wish to God he would just come over or message you on Facebook except he would have to do that at the library because on one of the innumerable occasions when he was out of his mind HARD, he smashed his laptop AND his iPad because they were talking to him and telling him terrible things.
And you can be kind of flip about it sometimes but that's just a cover because really, you think about him every day and wonder if he's alright and you wonder what's going to become of him and you're afraid you'll never see him again and for the rest of your life you'll be all "WTF happened to Josh?" and it will eat at you forever.
It doesn't help at all that last night you had a horrible dream that your five year old was talking to you about Legos and Star Wars and casually says "…and Josh hung himself" and you remember how your whole body lurched awake and your eyes popped open and your husband had to keep telling you it was just a dream because it seemed SO REAL and now you're mildly concerned that maybe it was more of a premonition than a dream.
Maybe this morning, regardless of how much work you have to do, you should go by his stepfather's house again, just in case he's still there, and because then you will know that you tried and didn't just sit back and do nothing—because if something did happen to him, you would always regret it and you really, really hate regretting things.
Your husband has more or less withdrawn himself from this whole situation. He doesn't want to take on this responsibility because Josh is a grown man and he made his choices and now he has to live with them and basically, whatever, but you? You don't think like that and thankfully your husband gets you and understands that you're a f@#%ing bleeding heart sucker/idiot that thinks Josh needs support and now that he's supposedly clean and hopefully lucid, maybe for once he will listen to reason and be able to salvage what's left of his life because after all, he's only 27 and as frustrating and scary as all of this has been, he hasn't actually hurt anyone but himself.
So go. Before you find an excuse not to.
I went to Josh's house. All his stuff was gone. I knocked eleventy hundred times but nobody answered. I went to the next-door neighbors and asked them if they knew what happened to Josh and they said that he had re-admitted himself to the psychiatric facility because he was suicidal, was released again, came home and now he's gone because his stepfather kicked him out. The neighbor said he was subdued but still delusional when he was there last week and that his stepfather said that the doctors think he may have damaged his brain permanently.
I called the facility he was at before, not knowing for sure if he was there, and asked if he was able to receive visitors. I know they can't confirm if he's there but they did confirm that he is NOT there, which is what I really wanted to know. So I have no idea where he is and I'm crushed because this is exactly what I didn't want to happen…goddammit.

- Excellent ExperiencehungrymanDined on 9/16/2014Executive function, concluded with all you can eat rib night at the Woodman Lodge. Great food, ribs were tender baby backs, nicely smoked, wonderful sweet and tangy bbq sauce, and when they say all you can eat they just kept the ribs coming and always the good stuff. The service was considerate and attentive. The ambiance is a rare gem, old and new with architecture that you just don't get anywhere else in the area. Sound level was energetic but not annoying. Only regret was not ordering the huge desert the table next us had. A definite place to go again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dinner outOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/12/2014A little on the expensive side, but the food was outstanding.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingFoodLuvverDined on 9/6/2014We chose to dine at the Woodman Lodge to celebrate our anniversary. We were in high spirits when we arrived, expecting a great dining experience. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Service was good at first, but sadly went downhill after I sent my appetizer back. A few bites in, & a large shrimp gave a mouthful of ammonia. The waiter assured me he would 'take care of it.' Which meant they didn't charge me for an un-edible appetizer! We had to ask for napkins, silver ware, wine list. No bread basket was served. Finally our entrees were poor. Duck special was bland, small & highly over-salted. Hubby's prime rib was dry & he had to pick meat out of the cut of mostly fat. In hindsight, we should have left when I was served bad fish.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/30/2014Good food and good service however for a party of 10 being seated upstairs would have been better. I would highly recommend Woodman LodgeSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent!GoodforPrimetimeDined on 8/29/2014Enjoyed a great meal here more than once. Steak and prime rib prepared and served as ordered. The price is well worth it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Here's the BEEF,ELK,BUFFALO and...Luv2wineanddineDined on 8/24/2014We will be back need I say more. It is reasonably priced, a smidgen high but you pay for what you get. I would say that for a succulent juicy cut of meat; Woodman Lodge set the bar!!!! Daniel's broiler, Ruth Chris you have good meat but Woodman Lodge has won my over my mouth.Special Features:
- High end steaksFrequentDinerVIPDined on 8/24/2014The Lodge offers reasonable selection of different choices. While the price is as high as expected for a specialty steak house, the service is superb and friendly with Snowqualie charm. The different cuts we ordered were all delicious. I would never thought I would finish the 20 oz cowboy cut Nebraska ribeye and felt like having more! Wine selection is also great. Conclusion: Will come back soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Prime Rib is Excellent!SkijinksVIPDined on 8/23/2014The Dining Room at The Salish Lodge was booked so we decided to give Woodman Lodge a try. Dinner was great! The prime rib was cooked perfectly. The portions are very generous, so go hungry!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- boycedebsDined on 8/15/2014First time to this restaurant and it was very good. The food was good and the service was good. Will go back againSpecial Features:
- Great dinner out with friendsFoodieGalDined on 8/9/2014We decided at the last minute to come to the Woodman Lodge for dinner. It was not our first time there so we knew what to expect. We were welcomed at the door and our table was ready for the six of us. We had the artichoke appetizer and that is my very favourite thing on the entire menu. Don't miss it! Our waiter, Alex, was fantastic. He entertained us the whole time we were there. Our main courses were great - Chicken and ribs, prime rib, sea scallops, clams, bison burger & pork chop. We all enjoyed our meals and then had some dessert. The hot fudge sundae is huge! The best part of the whole restaurant is the atmosphere. It's in a beautiful, historic building and it's gorgeous inside and out. We look forward to coming back soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We come for prime ribOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 8/9/2014If you're in the mood for meat, this is the place. The prime rib is consistently perfect. We have been here a number of times, always thrilled when the food is presented because it's always cooked the way we order it, medium rare. The baked potato is so good, all four of us just order the identical thing.Special Features:
- Food was fantasticEatingoutagainDined on 8/2/2014My steak was amazing! Service was great too! We had the artichoke appetizer ... So yummy. I had the steak oscar ... It was cooked perfectly and was delicious! My Martin was wonderful as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The Boar was not boringFoodAdventuresDined on 8/2/2014I loved the wild boar and garlic mashed potatoes! A fantastic meal. My wife had the steak Oscar and she said it was okay. She was not overly impressed with her steak. The atmosphere was great! The staff was friendly and attentive. We had the berry crumble for dessert which was excellent. This is a place not to miss when in Snoqualmie.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great TimeOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/2/2014Really enjoyed the general manager, Robert Izen! He made our dining experience very enjoyable as did our server.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GOOD!earlyriserDined on 8/1/2014The last time we ate here, everything was great. This time, not everyone's food choices were. Mine was great - I had the prime rib. And if you want a lot of food, you will get it here. Three out of four of us left with left-overs. The service was a little stressed. The rustic charm of the place was lost on those who did not appreciate the view of all the animal heads on the wall while eating. We like it and will continue to go there as a special occassion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Find in SnoqualmieDaphneDoesDeliciousDined on 7/26/2014This is quite the unexpected find in the little town of Snoqualmie. Food is delicious and it's good ambiance for a wintery date night. The owner was attentive, as was his staff.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- For a special evening...AmbienceSeekerDined on 7/25/2014From the very first moment entering the restaurant, the staff was friendly and wonderful. The service was fast and pleasant, but not rushed. The menu had many mouth watering options. I would highly recommend whatever you order to add their special recipe baked beans. They are quite possibly the best in the world! The desserts are heavenly (the gigantic hot fudge sundae was meant to share!) and the steak was cooked to perfection. The atmosphere was wonderful. The lighting is slightly dimmed to give a special feel to a nice dinner date. The manager stopped by to ensure everything was exceptional and to let us know there was a great photo opp upstairs which we took full advantage of on our way out. We had an amazing time and will return soon!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun. Food. Fantastic.SkywalkerVIPDined on 7/25/2014Great place for dinner in Snoqualmie. Interesting history for the building, and the conversion to restaurant is top notch. Love the brass bear claw holding the arm rests at the bar. Our steaks were cooked to perfection, with generous portions. Waitstaff were friendly and witty. Too bad we didn't have room for dessert!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 7/24/2014Food excellent..had the bison rib-eye..to die for. Ambiance, Snohomish has a gem. Pricey, but worth it. Try it, you'll like it..Special Features:
- Steak and Seafood at the Woodmanwhyjay91Dined on 7/12/2014Excellent steakhouse fit for a nice evening out with your significant other or with a large group. Wait staff is top notch. Steak, ribs, burger, seafood specials...all solid in preparation and delivery.Special Features:
- 49ersDined on 7/9/2014We found the atmosphere too noisy...dining tables are too close to the roudy bar customers. The food was good, but not fantastic. My baked potato was luke warm. The window needs a shade as the sun was in my husbands face for a long time.
- Great food, great place2HappyCampersDined on 7/5/2014Woodman Lodge is our favorite place for dinner. We hadn't been out for a while, and I was a little worried by recent reviews. Not to worry, it was great as always. Our server was Camille, who was very friendly and gave us just the perfect amount of attention. When she was busy, other staff cleared plates, brought water, and our meals. A very nice gentleman, who we think may be the owner, even stopped by twice to check on us. The prime rib was cooked to perfection. In the past, the noise level and music has sometimes been higher than we'd like, but it wasn't on this visit. We'll be back again!Special Features:
- Yum!bng73Dined on 6/28/2014Went on a dinner date with the wife. We were there on the early side so it wasn't busy. Our waiter was attentive and personable; and we had an incredible meal. Well done!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BrookeDined on 6/21/2014We had a large group of 12 people. We were seated immediately upstairs. The ambiance was great as was the service and food. I would highly recommend this restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- HUGE Disappointment!Frankie644Dined on 6/20/2014We made reservations here on a Friday night at 6:15pm. We were seated up stairs, which is like a large boardroom. No ambiance and very loud. If this wasn't enough of a disappointment, they then ushered in a huge bus full of tourists. People were standing all around our table. At one point there were people leaning on our table while they lined up for food. The noise level went from loud to unbearable. Now maybe you would expect this at Denny's, but when you are paying $52 for a steak, you expect a little more courtesy from the management.Not one single person who was sitting in the upper portion of the restaurant during the tour group event will be back. Many were complaining. We didn't even finish our main course before we left. Sad.Special Features:
- Woodman LodgeOpenTable Diner Since 2001VIPDined on 6/19/2014It was very ,very good ,as ALWAYS and we go back time after time and will continue to.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/15/2014My family and I have ate at the Woodman Lodge numerous times over the past few years. We would rate the food as fair to very good, our last experience we rated the food as fair due to the fact that most of the food was over cooked and almost flavorless. We will return due to the fact that we have had some very good experiences in the past; so, don't be quick to write the Woodman Lodge off, it does deserve another chance.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Biggest complaint - the staffOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/15/2014Overall, this is a neat place -- historical and a unique dining experience. My biggest complaint is with the staff. I was greeted by the host with an off-color joke (implying that I was drunk -- a statement I didn't appreciate in front of my kids on Father's Day. I suffer from MS, so I guess I didn't speak very clearly to him). The waitress was condescending and very unfriendly. And because the food was just so-so, I don't feel the need to go back. It's too bad, because the setting and historic building is really cool. I guess you should try it once and hope for a better reception when you get there. Just my experience...Special Features:
- Woodman LodgeSuzabelleDined on 6/15/2014The crab cake Eggs Benedict was very good. English muffins were tough and not needed. Their homemade bear claw was very good. However, their biscuits and gravy was over spiced. The Bloody Mary was a meal in itself with shrimp, asparagus, a pickle and olives. The mimosa was yummy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Damn fine place to eat. . . ..BrucethebusdriverDined on 6/14/2014This restaurant is a local treasure, and is a huge asset to the Snoqualmie area.. . .great food, friendly folks. . .just plain fun !!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/14/2014The restuarant is small, and noisy, the food is great, one of the best steaks I have had.They have raised the prices which were high to begin with so its not a place you would go for a quick dinner. The food is good, would not recommend their spinach.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overpriced mediocrityav8atorDined on 6/11/2014Food was OK, but not worth the prices. Our waitress obviously wished she was somewhere else... There were food crumbs and wrappers on the window sill left from the previous diners. We were there for a special occassion, so we didn't complain (and we left a 20% tip) but we won't be going back.
- Woodman LodgeJim1Dined on 6/7/2014I highly recommend going to Woodmen Lodge for a casual or special dinner. What a gem one of the best kept secrets around. Great food and service. A little costly but well worth the price. The service and the quality of food is excellent!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 412 reviews are from the Woodman Lodge reviews archive.
- Rustic & Charming Mealbg4eastsideDined on 5/31/2014From the outside the yellow wood-sided building is unstriking with the only notable feature being its proximity to the Snoqualmie railroad depot. But as you enter you step back into time into an elegant 1800's saloon and that's when your experience begins. Our visit was for my wife's 50th birthday. The menu is definitely carnivore focused featuring a variety of steak cuts, buffalo and elk. The drinks were strong. Salads were good with the wedge salad being most appealing. The food we ordered was cooked to perfection. Most impressive was the manager who recognized our dinner guests from their visit two weeks earlier. The bottom line is that this is a charming restaurant with very good food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 5/31/2014We come for the prime rib, it's the best. Perfectly cooked, medium rare for us, tender and flavorful. The baked potato is wonderful, it has a delicious roasted flavor, amazing. Veggies are crisp, just a perfect meal.Special Features:
- Wonderful!!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/24/2014Delicious meal and and excellent service but please buy new silverware!! It is hard to cut a steak with the fork continually turning in your hand!Special Features:
- it was goodfoodtasterDined on 5/24/2014It was our first time at the woodmen. We had the ribs and sirloin steak. The ribs were wonderful and price was good. The steak was a good size but came out raw. We did ask for medium rare, thinking that for the price they would know how to cool it. It came out cold and not even cooked enough to bleed. It could have kicked my husband in the teeth it was that raw. But other then that it was good when they cooked it some more. The upstairs reminded me of a wedding hall. The down stairs is nice. The drinks are the best. Noah does know how to make a great drink. I would go back just for them. Over all a good place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- they know how to prepare prime rib!OpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 5/24/2014All four of us ordered the prime rib, knowing that this place does magic with prime rib. We were not disappointed. We ate every last bit of the meat. The baked potato was perfect as were the veggies. The green beans were perfectly cooked and the potato was the best we've all had in a long time. We drive out especially for dinner here, it's like a mini vacation, the drive is beautiful!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Monster's Turbine in-ear headphone looks, feels, and sounds like a much more expensive model.

We get a first taste of the Monster SoundStage S3 wireless speaker system and it's packing some extra features that could edge competitors in this fast-growing category.
While it doesn't live up to its billing as "the world's smallest audiophile Bluetooth speaker," the Monster SupersStar has some nice attributes, including a slim, splash-resistant design and built-in speakerphone.
The Monster ClarityHD Micro is a very good little Bluetooth speaker, but it's only worth buying if you can get it for less than $125.
The iSport Immersion headphones rank among the best wired in-ear sports headphone models out there in terms of fit and sound quality.
While the Monster Inspiration headphones aren't a bargain, their combination of excellent sound and solid build quality, plus a decent accessory package, makes them worth a long look if you're considering a full-size pair of headphones in the $250 to $300 price range.
The Monster Digital Daytona will give you a typical solid-state drive experience both in terms of performance and cost.

Phase II Study of Clinical Activity of Pegaspargase in Women With Relapsed or Refractory Epithelial Ovarian Cancer, Fallopian Tube Cancer, and/or Primary Peritoneal Cancer
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- Study Results
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
- The best treatment for ovarian and related female reproductive tract cancers is not yet known for patients whose disease has not responded to or has recurred after standard treatment. The cancer treatment drug pegaspargase (ONCASPAR (Trademark)), which works differently from standard chemotherapy, has been approved to treat leukemia and has been given to a small number of patient with ovarian and other types of cancer. Because pegaspargase may reduce the development of cancer cells and blood vessel cells that contribute to cancer growth and ability to spread, treatment with pegaspargase could shrink ovarian cancer tumors and help ovarian cancer patients live longer and with fewer symptoms from their disease.
- To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of pegaspargase in patients with recurrent or refractory ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, and/or primary peritoneal cancer.
- Women at least 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer that has not responded to at least one operation, chemotherapy, and/or radiotherapy.
- Before the start of the study, participants will be screened with a medical history, blood tests, imaging scans of the affected areas, tumor biopsies, and other tests as directed by the study doctors.
- Participants will receive an infusion of pegaspargase on Day 1 and Day 15 of each 28-day cycle.
- Participants will have dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) at the start of the study, before beginning pegaspargase, and again 6 weeks into the treatment. This test will determine if pegaspargase is affecting blood flow to the cancer site.
- Participants will have a computed tomography scan or other imaging every other cycle (approximately every 8 weeks) to determine whether the therapy is affecting the cancer site.
- The treatment will be repeated as long as the participant tolerates the medication and his or her cancer is either steady or improving.

|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Pegaspargase in women with cancer
Pegaspargase 2000 IU/m^2 intramuscular or intravenously every 2 weeks
Drug: Pegylated L-Asparaginase
Pegaspargase 2000 IU/m^2 intramuscular or intravenously every 2 weeks
Other Name: Oncaspar
Detailed Description:
- The bacterial enzyme L-asparaginase (L-ASP) catalyzes hydrolysis of asparagine to aspartate and is used to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).Studies demonstrated in vitro cytotoxic activity against solid tumor types including ovarian cancer.
- Our laboratory demonstrated L-ASP inhibits vascular remodeling and modulates heterotypic adhesion interactions between ovarian cancer cells and endothelial cells. Results indicate L-ASP has the ability to modify the local tumor microenvironment.
- Epithelial ovarian cancer requires neovascularization for growth and metastasis. Anti-angiogenesis agents show promise in treatment of recurrent disease.
- The pegylated form of L-ASP, pegaspargase, (Sigma Tau ONCASPAR (Trademark)) is shown to deplete serum levels of asparagine and is approved for ALL. ONCASPAR is in clinical trial with gemcitabine for pancreatic cancer and other solid tumors.
- Recommended dose of pegaspargase in ALL is 2,500 IU/m^2 every two weeks intramuscular (IM)/intravenous (IV). IM dosing of 2,000 IU/m^2 every two weeks has been studied in a phase I protocol with various solid tumors.
- Demonstration of safety and anti-angiogenic activity will lead to combination studies.
Primary Objectives:
- To preliminarily evaluate the anti-tumor activity of pegaspargase, 2,000 IU/ m^2 every two weeks intravenous (IV) (or intramuscular (IM)) and explore associations with toxicity and clinical outcome.
- To evaluate the safety of pegaspargase in patients with recurrent or refractory ovarian, fallopian tube, and/or primary peritoneal cancer.
Secondary Objectives:
- To explore changes in circulating angiogenic cytokines after treatment with pegaspargase.
- To measure apoptosis and proliferation in tumor (or malignant effusion) by protein array before and during therapy.
- To evaluate changes in tumor vascularity using dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
- Women with epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, and/or primary peritoneal cancer that is persistent, relapsed and/or refractory to prior therapy.
- There is no limit to number of prior treatment regimens. Patients may not have previously received L-ASP.
- Women must have disease amenable to biopsy or malignant effusions (pleural effusion or ascites) that may be serially tapped.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0, 1, 2.
- Evidence of adequate end organ function and normal coagulation parameters (prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)).
- Women will receive 2,000 IU/m^2 of pegaspargase intravenously every two weeks in 28-day cycles until disease progression, excessive toxicity, or withdrawal from study.
- Biopsy of tumor and dynamic contrast-enhanced-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will be performed prior to starting pegaspargase (mandatory) and after 6 weeks of treatment (optional).
- Clinical outcome will be measured and correlated with biological endpoints.
- Research blood samples will be taken to assess changes in serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), interleukin-6 (IL6), and interleukin-8 (IL8).
- Blood will be collected to evaluate circulating endothelial cells.
- Patients will be seen in clinic every 4 weeks and outcome measured every other cycle.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
- All patients 18 years and older with epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that is persistent, relapsed or refractory to prior standard platinum and taxane-based therapy will be eligible. Tumor histology must be reviewed and confirmed by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Laboratory of Pathology. Recurrent ovarian cancer is not a curable tumor. Patients who are platinum-sensitive and who, upon detailed informed consent, wish to consider this experimental regimen, will be considered.
- All patients must have measurable disease by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. A sentinel lesion adequate for core biopsy through percutaneous route is ideal but not mandatory. Patients with a malignant pleural effusion or malignant ascites will be allowed to undergo a paracentesis or thoracentesis rather than core needle biopsy if the procedure may be performed safely.
- Patients must have a performance status of Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) = 0, 1, 2
Patients must have adequate end organ function:
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than or equal to 1500/ mm^3
- Platelets greater than or equal to 100,000/ mm^3
- Serum creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 mg/dL, or if low, creatinine clearance greater than or equal to 60 mL/min
- Total bilirubin less than or equal to 1.5 times the ULN (upper limit of normal) unless a history of Gilbert's disease.
- Lipase and amylase less than or equal to 1.5 times the ULN
- Transaminases (aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT)) less than or equal to 2.5 times the ULN
- Fibrinogen greater than or equal to 0.75 times the LLN
- Prothrombin time (PT), partial thromboplastin time (PTT), and International Normalized Ratio (INR) less than or equal to 1.5 times the ULN. Coagulation parameters must be drawn peripherally.
- Patients must be at least 4 weeks from previous therapy (chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, and radiation therapy, alternative therapy, investigational agents, or a major surgical procedure). Patients must be 6 weeks from carboplatin- or mitomycin C-containing therapy. Exceptions: Raloxifene will be allowed for bone health and bisphosphonate therapy will be allowed for the rare situation of bone metastasis.
- There is no limit to the number of prior regimens patients may have received for the treatment of ovarian cancer.
- Patients must have recovered from any toxicity related to prior cancer therapy to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade 1, except for stable peripheral neuropathy, which must have recovered to grade 2 or better, and grade 2 total white blood cell count when ANC is greater than or equal to 1500 (alopecia and hypertension exempted).
- Women of childbearing potential must agree to use adequate barrier contraception (interaction with oral contraceptives is unknown) prior to study entry, during therapy and for 3 months after completion of therapy and must have a negative pregnancy test.
- Patients must be able to give written informed consent.
- Evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic disease or any concurrent condition which in the Investigator's opinion makes it unsafe for the patient to participate in the trial or which would jeopardize compliance with the protocol.
- Evidence of central nervous system (CNS) involvement. Patients with abnormal clinical exam or history will require a head computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
- History of clinically symptomatic pancreatitis within the six months prior to enrollment.
- History of prior exposure to any formulation of L-asparaginase.
- Patients with a history of deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism within the past 3 months, or pulmonary embolism within the past 6 months, history of recurrent clot or pulmonary embolism (PE), or those patients requiring ongoing full dose anticoagulation will be ineligible. Line prophylaxis with 1 mg warfarin daily will be allowed.
- Patients with active infection will not be eligible, but may become eligible once infection has resolved and they are at least 7 days from completion of antibiotics.
- Women who are pregnant and women actively breast-feeding will be excluded.
- Previous or current malignancies within the last 5 years, with the exception of cervical carcinoma in situ curatively treated, ductal or lobular carcinoma in situ curatively treated and without ongoing therapeutic intervention, and nonmelanomatous skin cancers curatively treated.
- No concomitant use of complementary or alternative medication or other agents (investigational or anti-cancer agents) will be allowed without approval of a principal investigator (PI) or associate investigator (AI). Every effort will be made to maximize patient safety and minimize changes in chronic medications.

ST. IGNACE (WKZO) -- Commuter tolls to cross the Mackinac Bridge are going up on January 1st. The increase is part of a long-term plan to implement incremental increases regularly to fund a maintenance and preservation program. That will include a complete deck replacement project within the next ten years.
Commuter toll rates go up to two-dollars and ten cents per crossing provided commuter card holders come back across within 36-hours. All other toll rates for bridge traffic will stay the same. The 55-year-old Mackinac Bridge is maintained and operated exclusively with toll revenue.

Twa populations according to Hewlett & Fancher. From west to east: Ntomba, Kasai, [unidentified], Great Lakes, Nsua [not clear if Nsua is Twa].
Twa populations according to Stokes. Only a few groups are shown, but these include several between the Kasai and Great Lakes Twa.
Twa/pygmoid populations according to Cavalli-Sforza. Several southern groups are added.
Twa populations scattered through shaded area, according to Blench. Several southern Twa areas are shown.
|Total population
|Related ethnic groups
The Twa are any of several African hunting peoples or castes who live interdependently with agricultural Bantu populations, and who generally hold a socially subordinate position: They provide the farming population with game in exchange for agricultural products.
The Bantu term Twa (see) is generally translated as "Pygmy". However, in the Western conception "Pygmies" are short forest people, whereas southern Twa populations do not live in the forest and may not be shorter than the farming/village population, generally not reaching the anthropological definition of "Pygmy" as males averaging less than 150 cm. Outside of the rainforest, the Twa may be taller than the classic Pygmy, and there may be less difference in physical appearance—in some cases none. Nonetheless, the 'despised' relationship between the farmer patron and the hunter client is similar to that of the forest.
No Pygmy or Twa population is known to live independently of agriculture, and all live near or in agricultural villages. Agricultural Bantu peoples have settled a number of ecotones (the margins between ecosystems) next to an area that has game but will not support agriculture, such as the edges of the rainforest, open swamp, and desert, and the Twa spend part of the year in the otherwise uninhabited region hunting game, being provided with agricultural food by the farmers while they do so.
Roger Blench has proposed that Twa (Pygmies) originated as a caste like they are today, much like the Numu blacksmith castes of West Africa, economically specialized groups which became endogamous and consequently developed into separate ethnic groups, sometimes, as with the Ligbi, with their own languages. A mismatch in language between patron and client could later occur from population displacements. The short stature of the "forest people" could have developed in the few millennia since the Bantu expansion, as also happened with Bantu domestic animals in the rainforest, especially if there was additional selective pressure from farmers taking the tallest women back to the village as wives, as happens today. However, that is incidental to the social identity of the Pygmy/Twa.[2]
It is often supposed that the Pygmies were the aboriginal inhabitants of the forest before the advent of agriculture. However, Vansina argues that the original meaning of the (Proto-Bantu) word *Twa was hunter-gatherer ("bushpeople"), and that this became conflated with another root for Twa/Pygmy, *Yaka (as in Ba-Yaka).[3] As the Twa caste developed into full-time hunter-gatherers, the words were conflated, and the ritual role of the absorbed aboriginal peoples[4] was transferred to the Twa.[2]
Twa live scattered throughout the Congo. In addition to the Great Lakes Twa of the dense forests under the Ruwenzoris, there are notable populations in the swamp forest around Lake Tumba in the west (about 14,000 Twa, more than the Great Lakes Twa in all countries), in the forest–savanna swamps of Kasai in the south-center, and in the savanna swamps scattered throughout Katanga in the south-east, as in the Upemba Depression[citation needed] with its floating islands, and around Kiambi on the Luvua River.
Arab and colonial accounts speak of Twa on either side of the Lomami River southwest of Kisangani, and on the Tshuapa River and its tributary the "Bussera".[clarification needed]
Among the Mongo, on the rare occasions of caste mixing, the child is raised as Twa. If this is a common pattern with Twa groups, it may explain why the Twa are less physically distinct from their patrons than the Mbenga and Mbuti, where village men take Pygmy women out of the forest as wives.[5]
The Congolese variant of the name, at least in Mongo, Kasai, and Katanga, is Cwa.[1]
The Batwa of Uganda[edit]
The Batwa of Uganda were forest dwellers who lived by gathering and hunting as the main source of food. They are believed to have lived in the Bwindi Impenetrable and Mgahinga National parks that border Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Rwanda living mainly in areas bordering other Bantu Tribes.
In 1992, the lives of the Batwa pygmies changed forever. The Bwindi Impenetrable Forest became a national park and World Heritage Site to protect the 350 endangered mountain gorillas within its boundaries. The Batwa were evicted from the park. Since they had no title to land, they were given no compensation. The Batwa became conservation refugees in an unfamiliar, unforested world. Through the Batwa Experience, more can be know about the Batwa of Uganda.
They now live in communities where they have been resettled by NGOs in Uganda.
Angola and Namibia[edit]
Southern Angola through central Namibia had Twa populations when Europeans first arrived in the 16th century. Estermann writes,
The southern Twa today live in close economic symbiosis with the tribes among which they are scattered—Ngambwe, Havakona, Zimba and Himba. None of the individuals I have observed differs physically from the neighboring Bantu.[6]
These peoples live in desert environments. Accounts are limited and tend to confuse the Twa with the San.[2]
Zambia and Botswana[edit]
The Twa of these countries live is swampy areas, such as the Twa fishermen of the Bangweulu Swamps, Lukanga Swamp, and Kafue Flats of Zambia; only the Twa fish in Southern Province, where the swampy terrain means that large-scale crops cannot be planted near the best fishing grounds.[7]
Cavalli-Sforza also shows Twa near Lake Mweru on the Zambia–Congo border. There are two obvious possibilities: the Luapula Swamps, and the swamps of Lake Mweru Wantipa. The latter is Taabwa territory, and the Twa are reported to live among the Taabwa.[8] The former is reported to be the territory of Bemba-speaking Twa.[9]
South Africa[edit]
In South Africa the term Twa is applied to the San, the former hunter-gatherers of the region who are unrelated to the Pygmies.

KTouch - Touch Typing Tutor
KTouch is a program for learning to touch type. It provides you with text to train on and adjusts to different levels depending on how good you are. It also displays which key to press next and the correct finger to use.
You learn typing with all fingers, step by step, without having to look down at the keyboard all the time to find your keys (which slows you down a lot). It is convenient for all ages and the perfect typing tutor for schools, universities and individuals.
- Support for many different training lectures
- Support for many languages including language specific text fonts
- Comfortable lecture editor
- Support for different keyboard layouts, with the ability to use user-defined layouts
- During training sessions comprehensive statistical informations are shown to help you analyse your progress
