Jadakiss – Gettin' It In Lyrics
[Jadakiss:] Ah-ha!
[Hook: Kanye West]
Shorty gettin it in with me (uh-huh)
Shorty gettin it in with me (yeah)
She said I brought some friends with me, but I don't know why
Because they ain't gettin in with me (uh-uh)
Shorty gettin it in with me (yeah, yeah)
Shorty gettin it in with me (uh-huh)
She said I brought some friends with me, but I don't know why (yeah)
Because they ain't gettin in with me (yo)
[Verse 1: Jadakiss]
You know me, I'm with a ghetto diva, stiletto fever
Jell-o shots, yellow reefer
Same rules apply, I'm back on top
You can't drink or smoke if you not gon' pop
See me in the popcorn drop, not gon' stop
Takin shots of Catron, gettin top on yachts
The medallion's a mountain, rock on rocks
The whole world wanna know when this lock gon' drop
Without a doubt, she acknowledge the wealth
Since she ain't give brains, I told her let me get some knowledge of self
Then I told her be proud of yourself and dig deep
And try to see what you could get out of yourself
After all that, I told her to fall back
The Ferrari truck parked in the back is all black
Next time, bring some friends and more 'gnac
It depends how I feel in the morn' if I call back, what
[Hook: Kanye West]
[Verse 2: Kanye West]
Yeah, Kanye to the, yeah
I'm with this bad Ethiopian chick, drinkin' straight up liquor
I told her I'm Nigerian, a straight up nigga
Now is it just me, or do them ugg's
Have girls feet lookin' like sheepskin rugs
Some rhyme with a name, some rhyme nameless
Don't try to treat me like I ain't famous
My apologies, are you into astrology
Cause I'm, I'm tryin to make it to Uranus
See that's a little Don Juan game
All across your chest like Sean John name
Niggas tryin to figure out since Kan came
Who the rookie of the year, me or LeBron James
They say whoa, don't get caught up in the hype
Ain't no tellin they gon' love you after tonight
Well if tonight's the night, pop bottles, fuck models
Spend money 'til you broke, my nigga live your life!
[Jadakiss:] Ah-ha!
[Hook: Kanye West]
[Verse 3: Jadakiss]
Shorty gettin it in with me, 600 Benz with me
She wanna spend with me, uhh
She see me roll up the bud, then thug out the club
Cause I got my mens with me, uhh
She said she leavin her friends for me
They ain't gettin in with her, cause she gon' bend for me, uhh
Her tongue spin like a rim for me, do what she can for me
Look like a ten for me, uhh
Now shorty is out with me, usin her mouth for me
She lookin out for me, uhh
She said 'Kiss where you live, I said you see the Bridge
When you step on the balcony, let's go
[Hook: Kanye West]
[Jadakiss:] Ah-ha!

While it tends to be a little outclassed by Abra in the attacking department, Natu is quite unique when it comes to supporting the entire team. Believe it or not, Natu does bring some valuable resistances to the table despite its mediocre defenses; x4 resistance to Fighting-type moves and x2 resistance to Grass-type moves can come in handy. As an added bonus, it also has a Ground-type immunity. With these resistances, Natu has an ample amount of opportunity to support the team with the right prediction and support. Last but not least, U-turn gives it a slight advantage over Abra as it lessens the prediction needed to keep Munchlax and Stunky from potentially trapping it. Overall, Natu is definitely an interesting Pokemon and should not be overlooked.
Natu can function as an effective Choice user with its good Speed and Special Attack stat. The choice between the items depends on what you're planning to do with Natu. Choice Specs allows Natu to hit as hard as possible, while Choice Scarf boosts its Speed to 25 - an excellent Speed benchmark to hit the Little Cup metagame. This ensures that Natu is not outpaced by the likes of Mankey and Houndour. Psychic and Heat Wave provide optimal coverage alongside each other, while Hidden Power Fighting deals with the pesky Munchlax. U-turn is the crux of the set, allowing Natu to escape from Stunky's grasp.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Natu's unique typing and access to dual screens allow it to become a valuable addition on any team that requires dual screens support. Despite its mediocre defensive stats, Natu boasts impressive resistances to Grass- and Fighting-type attacks, along with an immunity to Ground-type moves. This gives Natu an ample number of opportunities to set up dual screens on many Choiced Pokemon, with a particular emphasis on Fighting-types, in the metagame. Wish and U-turn make an excellent combo, as it allows Natu to Wish-pass with ease. Roost is optional if you prefer to heal yourself instantly.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Instead of the usual "hit-and-run" strategy, this set aims to take advantage of the move Calm Mind. The purpose of this set is twofold: support the team with Baton Pass or sweep with a pure attacking set. The choice ultimately comes down to the final move of the set. If you're planning to use Natu as a support passer, then Baton Pass is the obvious choice. However, if you're planning to sweep with Natu, then Heat Wave is more desirable.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
A Choice Band or a Life Orb helps Natu inflict damage from the physical side. While Natu's Attack stat isn't exactly superb, it does have a couple of physical moves to catch its typical counters off guard. For example, Stunky would suffer a 2HKO from Drill Peck while Munchlax will always fall under a 2HKO from Zen Headbutt. It's bittersweet that Natu doesn't even OHKO the two, but it still makes an excellent Stunky and Munchlax lure. U-turn allows it to scout the opponent.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Natu has a couple of sweet support moves: Trick Room, Thunder Wave, and Psycho Shift. Natu could set up Trick Room with ease, and then employ U-turn to safely bring in your attacker. Thunder Wave could cripple Natu's common switch-ins. A set with Psycho Shift / Baton Pass / Calm Mind / Psychic could work well in theory. Natu with Flame Orb can pass a burn to Stunky, Munchlax, and other Fighting-types, and Natu can set up Calm Mind in front of Stunky and Munchlax once their physical prowess have been drastically reduced. If you're looking to weather the physical hits that are dished at Natu, it can run an EV spread of 196 HP / 236 Def / 76 SpD.
Checks and Counters
On the Choice (Special) set, Bronzor is the safest switch-in as it resists Psychic and it can use a free turn to set up Stealth Rock, or take Natu down with Flash Cannon. Munchlax and Stunky also switch in with impunity, although U-turn can bring about their demise if they are lured in, trapped and subsequently executed by Diglett. Munchlax can use Pursuit to take Natu down, while Stunky has a Psychic immunity, allowing it to safely come in and trap Natu, it also has STAB on Pursuit. Houndour can cause problems if it switches into Heat Wave.
Gligar and Bronzor can handle the physical set quite well. Bronzor can take Heat Wave from Natu and strike back with Flash Cannon or set up Stealth Rock. Defensive Gligar works in a similar fashion to Bronzor, as it can shrug off any attack and strike back with Stone Edge or set up Stealth Rock.

A&M and homosexuality
Breakaway's strange bedfellows
Published: Tuesday, November 8, 2011
Updated: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 22:07
Breakaway's strange bedfellows
With criticism of religion at its apogee, Breakaway, the local Christian group, is both large and comparatively innocuous. Still, the gathering has become a facet of many students' schedules — Tuesday nights are reserved for a quintessentially religious gathering: the singing of praises and a sermon. But Ben Stuart, Breakaway's gregarious, 30-somethingleader, is what sets it apart. Always active on stage, and with a definitive lisp, the man brings together the audience. Regular attendees know his abilities to weave together a story. He has what appears to be an innate gift for stringing his audiences along: they laugh when he jokes; they sit in sober contemplation as he moves deeper.
The clearest testimony, though, to Mr. Stuart's chops is this: Removing the religious aspect makes his sermons no less effective. Instead, what remains is a secular lecture that, if he so wished, could reach still more. Such adroitness shows Mr. Stuart's ability to connect with listeners in a manner, which, oddly, both embraces and supersedes the sermon's unmistakable Christianity.
And of the 50 podcasts on their website, few raise eyebrows. Most deal in the maintenance of faith, commentaries on culture, transitioning from college to the "real world" and, occasionally, sex. None are offensive; few break the bounds of what is expected of a collegiate religious meeting.
But this innocuousness is a factor in their success. Due to Christianity's continued fragmentation, large, non-denominational groups are disinclined to offend. Envision Mr. Stuart assailing Catholicism's belief in transubstantiation, or Episcopalians' Biblical-liberalism; then picture Breakaway's large drop in numbers.
To date, homosexuality — that bête noire of many pastors — has, too, been forgone. Yet while Breakaway remains silent,the entities it supports are vociferous. On the "Guidance" portion of their websiteBreakaway provides three resources for sexuality, all ex-gay ministries.
Their first recommendation, Joe Dallas, is of special interest. His vague description — "a counselor who specialize[s] in sexual addiction and homosexuality" — draws immediate concern.
First, "sexual addiction" is not widely held to exist. It is not recognized by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and does not appear in the APA's reference book, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Darrel Regier, vice-chair of the DSM-5 task force (which oversees the DSM's 2013 update), has statedthat "sexual addiction" will be absent in this edition as well.
The reason: Addictions require both compulsion and well-defined physiological symptoms when those compulsions go unmet. Sex, which can manifest itself as the former does not cause the latter upon (ahem) withdrawal.
The only organization to assert sexual addiction's existence is the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM). But even they make cleartheir definitions "are not intended as 'diagnostic criteria'" and that "the diagnosis of addiction requires… assessment by a trained and certified professional."
That "trained and certified professional," we can be sure is using the DSM.
Mr. Dallas' description should substitute "sexual addiction" with the less controversial term: "hypersexuality."
Second, and more important, homosexuality is not a medical disorder: The American Medical Association, The American Psychiatric Association, The American Psychological Association, The American Psychoanalytic Association and The American Academy of Pediatrics have all released statements to this effect; sexual orientation is not a choice, they say, and cannot be changed.
But Mr. Dallas soldiers on. A linkfrom Breakaway leads to his video "Joe Dallas — Freedom from Homosexuality and Pornography." It isn't disturbing material; but it's unsettling.
The presentation, produced by Pure Passion, a Christian group based in Tennessee, starts with guitar-laden music, and quickly fades into a white background. Before long the title emerges: "Pure Passion," with a flaming heart fixed between the words. Then, in a rainbow of colors, the following "maladies" appear: sexual abuse, prostitution, masturbation, pornography, homosexuality, pedophilia, human trafficking, sexual addiction and transgendered disorders. Again Mr. Dallas is on shaky ground: according to the American Psychological Association, "transgender disorders" only qualify as such if they cause significant distress or disability.

So I don't know much about the Torque engine, but I went to investigate it today and it seems pretty good, although I don't know if it may be the best engine for this project.
Here's what I want to do. I want to design a basic game. The game maps are tilebased, meaning that when a player takes one step he will always move "one tile forward", and the maps are built in tile based formats.
The game will have a fixed isometric perspective. The maps and items on the ground will be designed in 3D, while the players and mobile NPCs will be made as 2D sprites. The 2D sprite should have several "layers", so that a player can wear several combinations of items and clothes, without having to have pre-drawn sprites for each combo.
Each player will be able to right click any item, including the walls and floor tiles of the map, and bring up a menu of actions they can do with it. Every item has different actions. If there is a stack of items on top of each other, right clicking will first prompt the player to select a target item.
The game will also be entirely multiplayer, no single player support. So multiple players will be running around interacting with each other.
That's pretty much it. It's pretty much a simple 2D based game, but Torque seems to mainly be about 3D. Will it take a lot of extra unnecessary effort to force Torque into a 2D design?:skull:

For years I have experienced the thrill of updating traditional Jewish desserts for a modern audience. Now it seems everyone I know is in on the game - because of Thanksgivukkah.
That's the mashup coined to capture next week's convergence of Thanksgiving Day and the first full day of Hanukkah. The dual holiday will not occur for at least another 75,000 years, so I appreciate all the fuss. My respect goes to the 9-year-old boy who created the Menurkey, a turkey-shaped menorah that is selling like latkes.
However, turkey-and-gravy-stuffed doughnuts or a Manischewitz-brined bird just won't do for me.
Although the array of combo culinary experiments sounds fun, I did not want to mess with the Thanksgiving desserts my children and guests expect every year. If I do not serve my dairy-free pumpkin and mocha pecan pies, no amount of Hanukkah gelt will compensate for the loss. I have served only sweet potato latkes in the past and faced a dining-room rebellion of Maccabean proportions.
In order to honor both traditions, I vowed to tread carefully. Jewish baking is often about dough and fillings, which can accommodate Thanksgiving flavors quite nicely. If you have a favorite rugelach dough recipe (or my dairy-free one in The Post's Recipe Finder database), fill it with cranberry preserves and dried cranberries. Thus far, I've done pumpkin churros and apple doughnuts, and I am working on a strudel with apples and sweet potatoes.
My best effort so far is the one I'm sharing with you: Thanksgiving Babka, a rich, sweet yeast bread with ribbons of cranberry sauce baked into the twists of dough. It's not overly sweet; feel free to double the recipe and serve half during the main meal.
Whatever you do, make sure Thanksgivukkah does not overtake your cooking and baking enthusiasm for the rest of the Jewish Festival of Lights, which continues through Dec. 5.

Low blood-sugar levels make for grousing spouses
Husbands and wives reported being most unhappy with their spouses when their blood-sugar levels were lowest, usually at night, according to research released this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Victimized by the 'marriage penalty'
In a few short months, I'll pass the milestone that every little girl dreams of: the day she swears - before family and God, in sickness and in health, all in the name of love - that she's willing to pay a much higher tax rate.
Allergies are the real midlife crisis
One of the biggest mysteries is why the disease comes and goes, and then comes and goes again. People tend to experience intense allergies between the ages of 5 and 16, then get a couple of decades off before the symptoms return in the 30s, only to diminish around retirement age.
Tax deduction for a gym membership?
April marks another tax season when millions of Americans will deduct expenses related to home ownership, children and education from their annual tax bill. These deductions exist because of their perceived value to society; they encourage behaviors that keep the wheels of the economy turning. So why shouldn't the tax code be revised to reward preventive health?

Hi all.
I am new to teaching Human Geography and in looking at our text (Rubenstein) the first unit is full of vocabulary terms needed for the subsequent chapters. How do you all tackle teaching this much vocabulary at the start of the year? I would love some ideas and resources if you have already found what works best. I will post my lessons as I finish them as well.
Views: 253
Molly, when we created our Geography Alive program, we wanted to do the same thing...front load the vocab so that students are ready to read the text. Our strategy to get students there was to create a matrix called Geo-Terms. You can see in the sample lesson here: http://www.teachtci.com/programs/middle_school/regions_and_people/G...
The idea behind this Geo-Terms matrix is that the student will complete three things: 1) write the definition in their words, 2) use it appropriately in a sentence, and 3) create a symbol or visual that will help them to remember what it means. This matrix is very easy to create and although, I'd love to hear that you were using TCI, it's something that could be adapted to any publisher-related materials.
A couple of other strategies you might think about would be to conduct a reading/vocabulary strategy activity called "What's that?" What you do is get an index card for each content/vocabulary term and write that word on the front. Make a second index card or third copy (untl each student would have one). Give each student one of the cards. Tell them they need to go to three other people, show them their card, and get that person's definition. It may or may not be correct...that's okay as this is just to get them to know the terms. After the person has gone to three other people (who do not have that same term), then they match up with the folks that did have the same term. Together they try to come up with a singular definition for it. Once you give groups an opportunity to share what they believe the terms are, you can validate or redirect when needed.
Hope this helps!
First, I would look at Martha Sharma's vocab list on AP Central- http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/members/courses/teachers_corn....
There is a lot of vocabulary, but it doesn't have to be taught all at once. I have my students do concept mapping to connect related terms (and MANY of the terms have direct relations) and examples of them. I also require students to use to correct geography vocabulary in their responses (during class discussions, on quizzes, on tests, etc.). They will pick up on it!
Side note- it is also essential that students also understand which terms can't coexist. For example, the lowest scoring free response question from this year's exam required students to understand that if a country has a primate city it does not follow rank-size rule.
Quizlet.com might help with getting your kiddos to practice the terms once they've been introduced. There are a few different games they can play. My kids like to compete for the best times/highest scores.

betsyfoxy - (July 03, 2007) I liked the look of this the best. I like how it gives three levels each of light and fan. I think my contractor could insulate around the vent for quieter operation. The halogen lights are just wonderful. Looks much better than the cheapies.

jedelblute - (May 18, 2007) Make sure you have at least one friend, and better to have two, helping you when you go to install this range hood. It is *not* flimsily built. The construction is solid, and finish detail is excellent. Make certain you read the installation manual and *then* look at the light sockets to make certain you purchase the correct lights for this range hood. The installation manual mentions 2 parts numbers for the lights, but only 1 will be correct for your range hood. Read the installation instructions about wood mounting strips carefully and then look at the holes in the top of the hood to understand exactly how wide the mounting *areas* need to be. All in all, could not be happier with this ran

Anonymous User - (17/06/13) The strip for selecting the fan speed and light settings was not secured to the body of the hood, and I had to press it back onto the hood. Will wait to see how well it holds in the future. It could be better designed, as I think it will come off in no time, regardless of how well we care for it.

lkin - (14/06/13) I love this range hood, but my husband doesn't. His biggest complaint is that the work light is in the back (against the wall) and provides little light. That is true, but I like how quiet the hood is, especially on the lowest setting. We don't have a ceiling fan in the kitchen, so I frequently use it to cool the whole room. The stainless finish is nice, and matches my LG range perfectly.

If there is one thing hard about being a believer in God and his written word, it's having the overwhelming feeling that you have to tell everyone about it, but realizing that you must remain calm. It's like being there watching someone approaching their home, knowing there is an intruder inside waiting for them to arrive. You know their life is in grave danger, you must tell them, but there's only a very small chance they will believe you, and the way you tell them could make all the difference.
Somehow we've become a culture that for the most part, view Christian believers as people who just don't get it. They're completely out of the loop, behind the times. They've thrown in the proverbial towel and given up on all that's fun and cool. For some awful reason they've decided to live their life ostracized from the mainstream to become one of "those people."
Not long ago, I posed a question to a men's group I belong to called "Dads of Valor." The question was, what keeps people from coming to church? There were many good answers and all were true to some point, but I really believe the best answer to that question is this; They simply don't know what we know. If people knew there was an intruder in their house they wouldn't go in, or they would go in prepared with the intention of removing said intruder one way or the other. We as Christians know there's an intruder in the house.
At some point in our lives we Christians have become confident that we are created beings, we are here for a reason and our Creator has given us direction by way of His written word. The most compelling thought I have about this whole idea is; if we don't understand the reason we're here, we've missed the whole reason for being here, and our lives have been a waste of time, except that we've been a negative influence on others. All in all, not a good showing.
People will say I'm being judgmental for writing this, that I'm putting them down or that I think I'm better than everyone else. These accusations are false. I consider myself to be the "least of these" the Lord spoke about in the 25th chapter of Matthew. I really try to look at everyone through the eyes of Christ, that is to say: He loves you so much He gave His life for you. I'm simply trying to say, very delicately: there's an intruder in your house. Please read the word of God. Get to a church where the Word is being expounded upon correctly. In terms of eternity, it's a matter of life or death.

Many successful parents pass on lessons that can benefit any ambitious manager. Among them: Aim high. Take roles that fulfill career goals. Exert extra effort. Learn from your mistakes. Here's a look at the experiences of three successful families:

AT&T accepted their demand for executive-level spots, recruiting them in 1998 to help build a unit's Internet strategy.
Aided by her parents, Ms. Duncan flourished. Mr. Condit suggested she forge ties with skeptical older subordinates through office visits and collegial conversations. Introduced by her mother to a Japan-savvy businesswoman, Ms. Duncan learned to conduct business with Japanese men leery of American female executives.
She quit AT&T in 2002, soon after the birth of her first son—a deliberate attempt not to repeat what she saw as her parents' shortcomings while she and her sister were growing up. "Their careers came first," she says. "They would forget to have us picked up from school or buy groceries."
Relocated to England and with her two sons in school, Ms. Duncan began doing strategy consulting for smaller U.K. concerns in 2009. Before long, she hopes to become an environmental executive after completing a marine biology degree, a major she initially avoided. "I thought counting algae at age 21 wouldn't have impressed my parents," Ms. Duncan recalls.
Sister CEOs
Ms. Morrison was about 12 when she decided she wanted to run a company. To realize her dream, she heeded what Mr. Sullivan believes is the best career advice he gave his daughters: "Always have a plan."

Her father still sets high expectations. When Ms. Morrison announced she had been chosen as Campbell's new leader, he responded, "So what's your next goal?"
Ms. Wilderotter, 13 months younger than her 59-year-old sister, says their father urged her to pursue tough assignments and land profit-and-loss duties early in her management career. He stressed the need to deliver results, she remembers.
At age 27, Ms. Wilderotter took charge of regional operations for a small software company. "It was risky because I was in accounting and had never worked in field operations," she says. Yet in two years, she was running regional operations, marketing and sales. She took command of Frontier in 2004.

It helped to raise money for the Essentia NICU with Newt Running, and organization formed in honor of the late Dr. Renee Schwandt. In 2014, we are going to do it again - this time in grander style, with more races (adding a 10K!) and with more zest for the purpose behind the race! Go Far Woman celebrates the strength, perseverance and courage of women - all ages, all types and all athletic abilities!
Please join us in the 2nd annual GO FAR WOMAN Race on August 23, 2014!
Dr. Schwandt was an OB/GYN physician at Essentia Health from 2000 until July 8, 2003 at the time of her passing at age 38. She worked with many women & families in the Fargo/Moorhead community and touched lives everywhere she went. Her mission in life was to help others - in any way that she could. She served on two medical mission trips, one to Haiti, and the other to Jamaica. Her younger sisters, Sue Knutson & Amy O'Neill served on Mission Jamaica in 2004, the year after Renee served and passed away. There they found out just how giving Renee was and how she touched people everywhere.
Because of Dr. Renee's service to Essentia, Go Far Woman 5K & Half Marathon will be donating a portion of the proceeds to the Essentia NICU. Having a newborn child in the NICU is extremely difficult and can be emotionally and financially draining. By giving back to the Essentia NICU, we hope to provide some assistance for medical equipment and support to the families.

April 25, 2014
In today's Brazos Valley Physician's Organization Journal of Medicine Report, Dr. Remon Fino discusses nonsurgical treatments for back and neck pain.
A bulging disc in the back could pinch a nerve or the disc itself could cause pain, also the same in the neck. One of the main treatments for that is what we call McKinzie exercises. They involve extension type exercises and for the neck, they're more of a neck retraction type of exercise to help reduce the disc and relieve the pain. That, in combination with medications to help inflammation, because there's inflammation around the disc and nerve which needs to be treated will help.
Epidural injections are another option to help relieve the pain. They inject steroids and numbing medicines around the nerve. We're bathing the nerves with these medicines to calm the inflammation and to calm the pain. These injections are about 70% effective. People see long term relief and in combination with a therapy people get excellent long term relief.
The Brazos Valley Physician's Organization is a group of independent physicians who provide local, comprehensive services to the greater Brazos Valley while preserving the sanctity of the patient-physician relationship. Our vision is that the patient always comes first.

Summary of A Hunger So Wild Summary of A Hunger So Wild Reviews for A Hunger So Wild An Excerpt from A Hunger So Wild
The New York Times bestselling author of Bared to You, Sylvia Day, draws us into the shadows of a seductive underworld where lycans, vampires and angels vie for supremacy…
Elijah Reynolds is the most dominant of lycans, a rare Alpha whose skill on the hunt is surpassed only by his primal sexuality. When the lycans revolt due to the iron fist of angelic rule, he steps into command, becoming both enemy and coveted ally in the conflict between vampires and angels.
Vashti is the second most powerful vampire in the world, a lethal beauty with a path of devastation in her wake. Tasked with proposing an alliance between vampires and the lycans who killed her mate, Vash approaches Elijah, whose need to avenge a friend demands Vash's death even as his passion demands her surrender.
Soon, their enmity erodes beneath an all-consuming desire. Elijah has never encountered a woman whose warrior spirit and fierce sexual appetite rivals his own, while Vash is faced with the one man strong enough to be her equal. But as war looms, each must decide where their loyalty lies—with their own kind or with the enemy lover they can no longer live without.

For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to finasteride: oral tablet
Two hundred fourteen reports of gynecomastia in men taking finasteride (the active ingredient contained in Proscar) in the United States were received by the FDA between June 1992 and February 1995. Among those reported, fifty eight percent were taking additional medications that have been associated with gynecomastia. Sixty nine of 86 patients who discontinued finasteride treatment had partial or complete remission.
New reports of drug-related sexual adverse experiences have been reported to decrease with duration of therapy.
Genitourinary side effects have included impotence (1.1% to 18.5%), abnormal ejaculation (7.2%), decreased ejaculatory volume (0.9% to 2.8%), abnormal sexual function (2.5%), gynecomastia (2.2%), erectile dysfunction (1.3%), ejaculation disorder (1.2%), and testicular pain. The manufacturer has reported that in controlled clinical trials, 1.2% of patients on finasteride tablets discontinued therapy because of a drug-related sexual adverse experience. Postmarketing reports have included sexual dysfunction that continued after discontinuation of treatment, including erectile dysfunction, libido disorders, ejaculation disorders, and orgasm disorders; male infertility and/or poor seminal quality (normalization or improvement of seminal quality has been reported after discontinuation of finasteride); and testicular pain.
Endocrine side effects have included reductions in prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels of approximately 50%.
Finasteride may cause a decrease in PSA levels in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia as well as in patients with prostate cancer. In one study, mean PSA reductions of 50% were noted, regardless of baseline levels. There was no indication that PSA levels were further suppressed in patients with prostate cancer.
PSA levels are commonly used in the screening process for prostate cancer. Patients who develop sustained increases in PSA while on finasteride therapy should be carefully evaluated for medical causes as well as noncompliance.
Nervous system
Nervous system side effects including decreased libido (1.6% to 10.0%), dizziness (7.4%), and somnolence (1.7%) have been reported.
Cardiovascular side effects including postural hypotension (9.1%) and hypotension (1.2%) have been reported.
General side effects including asthenia (5.3%), dizziness, headache, and abdominal pain have been reported.
Oncologic side effects have included a prevention or delay in the appearance of prostate cancer. However, finasteride (the active ingredient contained in Proscar) has also been linked to an increased risk of high grade prostate cancer. Postmarketing experience has included rare cases of male breast cancer.
Gastrointestinal side effects including nausea and flatulence have been reported.
A 58 year old man presented with an itchy, lumpy rash on upper and lower extremities following two weeks of finasteride (the active ingredient contained in Proscar) treatment for prostatism. The patient had no known allergies and was taking no other medications prior to the episode. The finasteride was discontinued and dapsone was initiated. The rash resolved two weeks after finasteride therapy was stopped.
Dermatologic side effects including rash have been rare. At least one case of cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis has been associated with finasteride therapy. A case of solitary fixed drug eruption has also been reported.
Postmarketing hypersensitivity side effects including rash, pruritus, urticaria, and angioedema (including swelling of the lips, tongue, throat, and face) have been reported.
Metabolic side effects including peripheral edema (1.3%) have been reported.
Respiratory side effects including rhinitis (1.0%) and dyspnea (0.7%) have been reported.

Casual crustacean-inspired chain serves up diet-defying seafood dishes in a family-friendly environment. – In Short
Live lobsters wriggle in a tank inside this seafood emporium, where nautical-patterned booths and colorful, fish-shaped tables in the bar area add subdued touches of whimsy to the room's classy dark wood accents. The menu can be downright decadent, with starters of artichoke lobster dip, seafood fondue, and crab-stuffed mushrooms. Entrees feature lighter, grilled fare like mahi-mahi and North Atlantic sea scallops, along with signature lobster dishes, snow crab legs, and jumbo fried shrimp platters.
One of the nicest Red Lobsters I've ever been to...very clean, good service! – The last person to review is full of bulls**t. This place is sensational, the pasta is AMAZING, the atmosphere in the restaurant is NOT bland or boring in any way. Take it from me...someone who's a dietary manager and has been through years of culinary school...this is a GREAT place to eat for any occasion!
Acceptable, great soup. – The food was acceptable, but pastas across the board are rather bland. They still recieve four stars however on the merit of the lobster bisque. The service was wonderful, attentive but not intrusive. The live lobsters are disgusting, I don't want to see the eyeballs of the food I am about to eat.

How to Select
How to select LED Downlights
With the diverse selection of LED downlights on the market today, creating the ambiance of your dreams is easier than ever. The greatest thing about such type of lights, apart from the functionality and convenience that they offer, is the ability to install them in either IC or non-IC rated locations. To know what type of LED downlight will suit your location, follow the buyer's guide that we have prepared for you.
The most important detail to pay attention to when selecting LED downlight is wattage. Because the LED technology is well known for its amazing energy saving features, any lighting fixture that uses LED light bulbs spends low amount of energy. However, since downlights are mostly used in decoration purposes, it is good to know how much energy they will use. For example, where a conventional downlight uses 50 or 60 Watt, a LED downlight only spends 5 or 6 Watt.
The next important factor to consider when selecting a downlight for your house is its brightness. Since such type of lighting is all about the atmosphere, brightness of a particular fixture is essential in creating the lighting ambiance that you need. The brightness of a LED light is measured in Lumens. What Lumens show is the amount of light that can illuminate one square foot of the area. If you are looking for LED downlights with warmer color, look for light bulbs with lower lumen index and vice versa.
The light that comes from a LED downlight is usually shaped in beams. This is why you need to consider the beam spread of a lighting fixture before selecting any of such devices. Beam spread is the angle of light that will come from your future LED downlight. The common beam spread value for standard ceilings with a height not more than 3 meters is 60 degrees. However, since the downlight fixtures are seldom used as the main lighting source of the room and are instead widely installed in decoration purposes, you need to look for devices with smaller beam spread value.
The color of the light is another important factor to consider. The color options that are offered today can vary from warm to cool white. For a LED downlight that is used as a backlight for interior or landscape applications a cooler scale is more suitable. In other cases, for example, to create a romantic atmosphere in the room, look for LED downlights with warmer color.
When all of the major details of your future LED downlight are specified, you might want to consider the last factor – the price of such device. Devices that use LED technology are more expensive than the same conventional fixtures, but your return on investment will be reached within the first month of usage.
