- Interactions of rantidine 150 mg & theophylline 200mg taken in am
I started taking 150mg rantidine with 200mg theophylline, and zyrtec in the morning before breakfast. Within 1 hour of taking my medications, even after eating, I found myself overwhelmed with anxiety, restlessness, the inability to think, and the feeling of dread.
I initially started taking rantidine in the evening, an hour before bed time, and found that it did not cause such a strong reaction. I really believe that these medications, when taken together, can really cause an adverse reaction for a person. I mean, it did me. - Folic acid withdrawal
I took folic acid 5 for more than 2 years after my past abortion, i continue it until 5 days before that i missed to buy it! Every day i feel worth until today that i ate it and after 2 hours i feel dramatically better! - Are you mental on methadone
My doctor changed my pain medication back in May of 2014 . I was pleased with how well it handle my back pain and was pleased with how inexpensive it was. My husband had been using the same drug with great results. It wasn't until about a month later I started to notice just feelings of sadness. I didn't think too much of it but then I would get such strong feelings of despair really bad that I would just cry. I also started getting a lot of panic attacks I had so much anxiety at times it prevented me from doing things. At one point I really thought I was having some sort of break down, but the feelings would have highs and lows and sometimes I would have a day with out them. Eventually after being on them for 7 months I went to my doctor and asked if it were possible I was experiencing these feelings from the Methadone. He wasn't sure but with it all happening right after I started taking them he decided to put me on something else. It's been about three weeks and even though the feelings are still there they are not as strong and seem to be passing. I hope as time goes I will feel like myself again and hope never to have to experience something like that again. - Meloxicam and dialtizam taken together at same time....
I also take ducosate and senokot....but it wud not take it....but my thing is that I take my tiazac (dialtazem) and my last of two...meloxicam...at night with ducosate...about 11 pm...at three am every night...I get this pain in my left chest...just below my breast....excruciating pain....last for hours...and and it sets me in anxiety attack where heart beats 124-132....hv been to hospital for it...hv afib...and four stents as had two heart attacks march 11, 2011...and april 26, 2011 as they were putting last one in...ok that is all...oh I feel really nauseated...and hv vomited ... and burps taste like dirt...they last 3=5 hrs....at 4;30 am I take a Tylenol 2 w/codeine....tis 6;10- am and hv been in pain since 2;30 am....my dr don't do anything...anyways thanks ... I do know that meloxicam is not supposed to be taken with a bad heart..but she is my dr...anything u can do wud be great...tiazac is 180 mg...and meloxicam is 7.5 mg twice a day..also take 81 mg aspirin.... - Bcaa's and increased anxiety/panic attacks
Six years ago I was hospitalized for severe panic disorder. After months of therapy I was prescribed Paxil and Zanax to control the disorder. I have been an athlete, mixed martial arts and weightlifting for over 20 years. Recently I decided to try BCAAs as a supplement to improve recovery after workouts. Bad idea! Bcaa's are reported to increase focus and can reduce serotonin. Sounds great, unless you have an anxiety disorder. Generally people with anxiety and/or panic disorders have a reduced amount or require more serotonin to maintain normal cognition "Perception".
While taking BCAA's I had three major panic attacks, pinging and shocking in meridian points (symptoms are known as discontinuation syndrome from reducing or stopping SSRN medications that treat anxiety). Long story short...stay away from this rather benign supplement if you have anxiety issues, especially if they are severe!

Stories by Malcolm Jones
Marconi--And Cheese
By grafting together the story of the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago and the tale of a serial killer who worked that city's darker corners while the fair was in progress, Erik Larson produced a huge nonfiction best seller: 2003's "The Devil in the White City." His new book, "Thunderstruck," apes the formula: this time he links a murder in Edwardian England with Guglielmo Marconi's efforts to perfect the wireless telegraph. But where the story of the Chicago killer provided an effectively lurid contrast to the utopian idealism of the Exposition, the tales here seem to be jockeying for space. And one of them is a lot better than the other.Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen was once a world-famous murderer. In 1910, he killed his wife, chopped her up and buried her in their London basement, then fled to Canada with his sweetheart. He was apprehended, brought back to London, convicted and hanged. The trial drew 4,000 spectators, including Arthur Conan Doyle and W. S. Gilbert; years later,... -
Hero or Hatchet Man?
When you pick up "Blood and Thunder," Hampton Sides's new history of how the U.S. government almost destroyed the Navajo Nation in the 1800s, you can't help thinking, "Here we go again" All the usual suspects are present. Again, government and military leaders, besotted with the idea of Manifest Destiny, are unapologetic land-grabbers, and the Navajos are victims of the white man's treachery. But Sides, to his credit, doesn't stop there. Resisting the impulse to think that he's wiser than the people whose story he narrates, he concentrates instead on the mysteries and contradictions in human behavior that compose the heart of all good story-telling. He points out, for example, that the Navajos, while admirable in many ways, were notorious livestock thieves. And they had no problem with slavery, as long as they were doing the enslaving. So things get complicated in a hurry, and in this story, complicated is good. And the man at the heart of it was as complicated as they come... -
On the Lost Highway
For a more than decent summary of the plot of Cormac McCarthy's latest novel, "The Road," consult the Library of Congress boilerplate that follows the book's title page: "1. Fathers and sons--Fiction. 2. Voyages and travels--United States--Fiction. 3. Regression (Civilization)--Fiction. 4. Survival skills--Fiction." For that matter, it's not a bad imitation of the novel's style. Using the stripped-down prose that he employed so effectively in his last book, "No Country for Old Men," McCarthy spins an entire novel around two people, a father and his young son fighting their way through a post-apocalyptic world reduced to cold ashes and ruins. The action is equally minimal. The man and boy are traveling out of the mountains and toward the coast, searching for warmer weather and hoping to find someone neither malign nor crazy with whom they can join forces. McCarthy never says what happened to bring the world to cinders. Nor does he name his characters, or tell us how old the boy is or... -
'Bluegrass in Reverse'
Mike Compton calls the music he and David Long play on their wonderful new album "bluegrass in reverse." "Stomp" ( Acoustic Disc ), released March 7, features the mandolins, guitars and voices of Compton and Long on 17 songs, some original, several by Bill Monroe, and a good many that date as far back as the 19th century. The general idea, Compton says, is to recreate the sounds that Monroe would have heard before he singlemindedly, if not singlehandedly, invented bluegrass back in the 1930s and '40s.It would be hard to imagine two musicians better equipped to tackle such a project. Compton, whose steady gig is with the Nashville Bluegrass Band, is one of the premier mandolinists now working. Anyone who's heard the soundtrack from "O Brother, Where Art Thou" knows his work, even if they don't know his name. He's also probably the best living interpreter of the hard-driving Monroe style of mandolin. Long has been touring with Compton as a duet act for about three years, and, at 31,... -
Mr. Ford's Mr. Lincoln
A John Ford movie is a tough sell these days. The sentimentality, the boys-club atmosphere, the broad humor—where the only thing funnier than a bar fight is a longer bar fight—these things don't play well with modern audiences. If movie fans think of Ford at all, it's as the man who made a lot of John Wayne Westerns. Never mind that he made more than 140 pictures, starting in the silent era and going right up through the '60s. His subjects ranged from the building of the transcontinental railroad to PT boat squadrons in World War II, from the Okie migration to Mary of Scotland. He won five Academy Awards. But Ford is not one of those directors, like Preston Sturges or Alfred Hitchcock or Orson Welles, whose movies always manage to feel contemporary. His movies hark back to the 19th century in their outlook and the values they espouse. They are a little antique, a little prim. Still, they are populist in the best sense: he made movies for everyone, although not in the dumbed-down... -
'I'm Not Dead Yet'
Richard Thompson isn't doing live interviews to promote this new set, but he did graciously agree to answer a few questions from NEWSWEEK's Malcolm Jones via e-mail. Excerpts:NEWSWEEK: Is it still a pleasure to perform? To write? To play music around the house, with friends? Put another way, if money was of no concern, what would you do with yourself?Richard Thompson: Music is absolutely the center of my life. I suppose if I could afford to tour less, I would write more. And a bit more gardening.In the United States, and maybe in the U.K., a songwriter who writes and performs using traditional song forms is usually penned into one sort of box or another. The underlying assumption seems to be that writing and singing with traditional song forms is not the natural thing to do but some sort of tic or gimmick, the musical equivalent of blacking out your teeth and wearing overalls on stage. As someone who has both seriously and wryly contemplated the last thousand years of pop, does this... -
Not Easily Categorized
The boxed set has become the de rigueur honor for any aging pop musician who is A.) still around, B.) still pumping it out and C.) has enough fans to make it worth someone's while to produce one of these things. Richard Thompson, who began his career in the '60s as a songwriter and lead guitarist for the English band Fairport Convention, has been at it long enough to warrant his second box! The noteworthy thing is that—drum roll, please—he deserves it. And this new box, "The Life and Music of Richard Thompson" ( Free Reed ), brings its subject into focus so vividly that even those of us who have followed his career over four decades can freshly apprehend his remarkable achievements.Oh, sure, anyone who has ever heard a Thompson album or attended one of his concerts knows he's a great songwriter, a guitar player with almost no equal and the owner of a voice that, while not perfect, is more than good enough for rock and roll. What may not be so obvious to any but the most obsessive... -
Cash on the Line
Being the child of a celebrity means running into some part of your personal life every time you turn the corner. Being the child of a dead celebrity, as Rosanne Cash has discovered since her father's death in 2003, can drive the surreal meter right into the red: "I walked into a store the other day, and I heard my father's voice say, 'I'm not afraid to die.' You know that song 'Personal Jesus'? There it was on the sound system. I just went, whoa, glad to hear it."Being a singer and songwriter in her own right, Cash, 50, dealt with the deaths--in fairly quick succession--of her stepmother (June Carter Cash), her father (Johnny Cash) and her mother (Vivian Cash Distin) the best way she knew how: by making art out of the experience. The stunning result, "Black Cadillac," is an album-length song cycle that maps the territory she traveled after those deaths. Wonderfully crafted, deeply felt, Cash's songs are never maudlin or sentimental. Instead, they walk right up to the trickiest... -

Jazz: Pictures That Swing
In 1960 William Claxton took the road trip of his dreams. A West Coast photographer already well known for his photos of jazz musicians, Claxton was asked by German writer Joachim Berendt to document a cross-country search for American jazz artists. Like the men and women they were searching out, Claxton and Berendt were great improvisers. So, while they knew generally where they wanted to go--New Orleans, Chicago, the West Coast--they made room for happy accidents. "Most all of the trip was unscripted," says Claxton, now 78. As a result, besides the usual shots of Ellington, Basie, Ella and Miles, there are arresting shots of Georgia Sea Island gospel choirs, bluesmen in Louisiana's Angola Penitentiary and a carnival outside St. Louis. In Memphis, they discovered that no one was still playing traditional jazz. "It was all hard bop by then," Claxton remembers.The results of that far-flung expedition were published as "Jazz Life" in Germany but never in this country, and the book has... -

Among School Children, McCourt Got Schooled
As he will be the first to tell you, Frank McCourt almost failed the exam to become a teacher in the New York City schools. "A passing grade was 65. I scored a 69," he recalls over a bowl of oatmeal one recent morning in a Manhattan diner. What saved his bacon was the teaching demonstration. He was assigned to teach a class on the World War I poets Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen, and, as he tells it in his latest memoir, "Teacher Man," a girl in the class began talking about her brother-in-law who'd come home from Korea with no arms--"and all he ever wanted was sex. Sex, sex, sex." Things went downhill from there, but something about McCourt's effort so impressed the English department chairman sitting in judgment that he chased him down the street to say if he ever needed a job, he should just call.

Amy Tan means well, but she knows that's not enough. So she did what she does best and wrote a novel about her dilemma. "Saving Fish From Drowning" is not your usual Tan story. It's not about mothers and daughters or the Chinese-American experience. Instead, it's a comic novel about an American tour group kidnapped by Karen tribesmen in the decidedly unfunny military dictatorship of Burma. Completely sympathetic to the plight of those who suffer under the dictators, Tan knew, when she started, the kind of book she did not want to write. "There were books out there that I never would have read about Burma," she said in a recent interview in her New York loft. "They start off depressing, and in the middle there's more that's horrible, and at the end there's the complexity of what this horror is like and I'm left feeling, oh, my God, I'm so sad, there's nothing I can do."Tan gracefully side-stepped that impasse by writing about what happens when colliding cultures misinterpret each... -
America From Tom to Abe
Sean Wilentz ends his massive history, "The Rise of American Democracy: Jefferson to Lincoln," with a description of a photograph taken in 1865: 13 men, six white, seven black, the jury empaneled to try Jefferson Davis, ex-president of the Confederacy, on charges of treason. To Wilentz, the picture is an apt emblem of "the hopes of the Civil War era as to how a post-slavery United States might look." Sitting in his office at Princeton, Wilentz shakes his head in admiration. "All these white guys and black guys together. And you realize, this is unthinkable five years earlier. And it's a step toward democracy." Another shake of the head, this one more rueful. "But it all came undone. By 1900 it looks blasphemous." He leans forward to drive the point home. "Democracy can come undone. It's not something that's necessarily going to last forever once it's been established."As Wilentz tells it in his book, the story of how democracy took root in this country prior to the Civil War is an... -

Spook by Mary RoachHer choice of subjects--corpses in her last book ("Stiff") and now the search for the soul--suggests Roach is not your average science writer. Funny, inquisitive and uncowed by experts, she's the general reader's ideal emissary to the arcana of serious science. Whether portraying students of reincarnation or sorting through spiritualist mumbo jumbo--and putting the ech back in ectoplasm--Roach's writing has what science has so far failed to find: a divine spark.The City of Falling Angels by John BerendtIt's been 10 years since Berendt published "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" and inadvertently rejuvenated Savannah's tourist industry. Venice, the setting for his new book, doesn't need his help. This time, instead of a lurid murder trial, we get a torched opera house--accident or arson?

Monk And 'Trane --Together At Last
It is the musical equivalent of discovering a new Mount Everest: last February, while digitizing a lot of old Voice of America broadcast tapes, Library of Congress archivist Larry Appelbaum discovered several boxes labeled CARNEGIE HALL JAZZ 1957. One of the boxes had an additional label: T MONK. Listening to the tape, Appelbaum recognized the playing of Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane and quickly verified with Coltrane biographer Lewis Porter that this was a rumor made real: a lost recording of a concert at Carnegie Hall by Monk's quartet when Coltrane was the sax player. It is one of the most legendary yet thinly documented partnerships in jazz history--and here was more than an hour of music by the quartet. Not only that, the recording quality was pristine, and the performances were everything you would expect from two geniuses who had been honing their sound every night for five months at New York's Five Spot Cafe.Now released as "Thelonious Monk Quartet With John Coltrane at... -
Fast Company
Myla Goldberg talks so fast and so intensely that after 10 minutes with her you feel you've known her forever. Over lunch in a Brooklyn diner you learn--before the food arrives--that she hates to repeat herself as a novelist, which explains why "Wickett's Remedy," in stores next week, is nothing like her debut, "Bee Season." That she grew up in Laurel, Md. --"15 miles from the shopping center where George Wallace got shot"--but couldn't wait to get to New York, where she hopes to live until she dies because "people who walk fast and talk fast don't stick out." That she's 33, has been married five years and has a year-old baby girl, writes five days a week because she likes to think of writing as her full-time job--which is why she's doing this interview at lunchtime, because "that way I can eat and talk and then get right back to work."Whoa there. Can we back up to the part about the novels' being so different? Because fans of "Bee Season," a funny/sad book about a suburban Jewish... -

One For The Road
When book-sellers go to a convention, they apparently do spend the night reading. This past June, at BookExpo America in New York City, Hyperion Books started handing out prepublication copies of J. R. Moehringer's debut memoir, "The Tender Bar," on a Friday. By Saturday morning, word of mouth had made Moehringer Topic A on the convention floor. No one who's read the book has stopped talking about it since: what conventioneers were calling "the book about the kid growing up in a bar" is poised to be the fall's sleeper hit when it arrives in stores in September. Cynics may scoff, but they haven't read the book.Moehringer, 40, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist for the Los Angeles Times, grew up in Manhasset, a small town on New York's Long Island. His dad, a disc jockey, was "a man of many talents," the son writes, "but his one true genius was disappearing." The kid spends most of the book searching for his father's voice on the radio dial. Raised by his mother, Moehringer was an... -
It is hard to imagine an uglier coincidence: Chris Cleave's stunning debut novel, "Incendiary," the story of what happens after a bomb kills more than 1,000 people in a London soccer stadium, was published in England on July 7, the day of the London bombings. (The American edition is out Aug. 2.) No one seemed to know what to do. The publisher pulled its advertising but didn't recall the book; one bookstore chain yanked it out of window displays--but not off the shelves. Cleave, a former newspaperman, launched a Web site in which he asked people if his novel was helpful or hurtful. "A book has more to say than a bomb" was a typical sentiment. Even so, anyone who tackles Cleave's book will find his question a difficult one."Incendiary" is a book-length letter to Osama bin Laden--and arguably the strangest epistolary novel ever written. The writer is a woman who has lost her husband and son in the explosion at the soccer stadium. By turns grief-stricken, raging and bleakly funny, the... -
Llewelyn Moss, the hero of Cormac McCarthy's new novel, is out hunting antelope near the Rio Grande when he comes across the aftermath of a drug deal gone wrong: three Broncos full of corpses and heroin. Not far off lies another corpse and a satchel full of $100 bills. Taking the money, Moss sets in motion a plot that involves vengeful drug dealers, an aging, ruminative sheriff and a hired killer who's so evil he'll kill on a coin toss. After that, not much happens in "No Country for Old Men" besides killing: the body count hits double digits by page 95.In this novel, his first since "Cities of the Plain" in 1998, McCarthy has produced a brutish tale reminiscent of his 1985 noir Western "Blood Meridian." But the baroque prose that counterpointed that earlier novel's violence has been replaced here with a far starker narration that reads like a screenplay for a straight-to-cable thriller. Or so it seems at first. Because the one thing you can depend on in a McCarthy novel is that you... -
If Foote, who died last week at 88, had never written "Shiloh," his terse, unsentimental novel about the 1862 Civil War battle, he might not have gone on to become the best-known narrative historian of the Civil War. He certainly would not have become an unlikely celebrity as a result of his involvement in Ken Burns's 1990 PBS documentary about the war. But when "Shiloh," the fifth of Foote's seven novels, was published in 1952, it caught the eye of Random House publisher Bennett Cerf, who asked Foote to write a one-volume history of the Civil War. Foote replied that he couldn't do it in one book; it would take three. And at that point, Foote began a project that would consume 20 years, produce 1.5 million words and secure his reputation as one of the finest nonfiction writers of the 20th century.Foote acted and spoke like a Southerner from Central Casting--the beard, the drawl and the habit of writing with a dip pen all made him look and sound like someone who'd been in the Civil... -
Big Brother Is Watching
George Orwell spent five years as one of the British Empire's policemen in Burma in the '20s. The experience provided him with the raw material for his novel "Burmese Days" as well as several of his best essays. It also soured him forever on imperialism. In 2002 Emma Larkin, an American journalist, spent the better part of a year traveling Myanmar--as the ruling military junta has renamed Burma--using Orwell's writing as a guidebook and revisiting locations where he had lived. The more she saw, she says in her sobering journalistic memoir "Finding George Orwell in Burma" ( 294 pages. The Penguin Press. ), the more convinced she became that Orwell had written not one but three novels about the country. "Burmese Days" is a withering description of the British occupation, which he observed firsthand. But his two novels about totalitarianism, "Animal Farm" and "1984," were, to Larkin, hideously predictive of modern-day Burma. When she tested her thesis on the locals, they were quick to... -
You can't read James Frey's memoir "My Friend Leonard" without thinking, this guy Leonard is unbelievable. He's a Las Vegas mobster, a high-level bookie, a bon vivant who can charm young hipsters and stodgy parents, a loving friend who's always there when you need a savvy sounding board, and an expert on just about any kind of visual art you care to mention. And he always picks up the check. But if you plan on confronting Frey with the idea that the main character in the follow-up to his best-selling debut, "A Million Little Pieces," sounds more like fiction than fact, know this: Frey's ready for you. "People always said, 'This guy's too good to be true,' when they met Leonard. And he was," Frey says in an interview in a coffee shop near his apartment in lower Manhattan. "But that's the thing about the people you meet in rehab. Normal, sane, healthy people don't wind up there. Knowing him was completely ridiculous and surreal."A crack addict and an alcoholic by the time he was a... -
Elizabeth Kostova is so squeamish that she has never read a Stephen King novel. It's not that she's afraid of scary stories; she just doesn't like gore. So when she began her novel about Dracula, "The Historian," she promised herself that "I would only spill a cup of blood in the whole book." She pauses to do a little silent calculating and then smiles. "I don't think I exceeded my limit by much." But if Kostova's debut novel is short on gore, it is far from bloodless. The corpses start mounting up early, and the chill factor is severe from start to finish. You don't have to read far to see why Little, Brown paid $2 million for the manuscript, or why the rights have been sold in 28 languages, or why Sony Pictures bought film rights for $1.5 million. Kostova knows how to get the most out of her cup of blood."The Historian" is a long book (642 pages), with no fewer than four stories going on at once. It starts in the '70s, when a 16-year-old girl discovers a strange book in her father... -
The world according to Lee Friedlander is an unmistakable place. The combination of intention, point of view and subject matter is so distinctive that you could pick one of his photographs out of a lineup every time, though the variety of his work still manages to stun. The Museum of Modern Art, where a retrospective exhibit of Friedlander's work opens on June 5, needed almost 500 images to adequately display his accomplishments. Over half a century, he has photographed nudes, landscapes, himself, street scenes, jazz musicians, factory and office workers, patriotic monuments, plant stems, cacti and graffiti. And that list gives only an inkling of his scope. The MoMA show makes it easy to believe that Friedlander, 70, has shot contemporary life, right down to the vacant lot on the corner, from every angle, in every weather. Anything is a candidate for his camera.Consider the photograph above, made in Las Vegas in 2002. It's part of a series where a car interior is used to frame a... -
If Dede Wilsey's outrage overshadows her stepson Sean's accomplishments as a memoirist, he has himself to blame. "Oh the Glory of It All" is his account of growing up as the rich, spoiled product of a famously broken home. His socialite parents' divorce didn't just get written up in the local San Francisco papers. It got ink in People and the National Enquirer. Wilsey complains about that, just as he whines about nearly every other facet of his childhood. But he saves most of his bile for Dede, the woman who Sean claims stole his father from his mother and then took all the money when Daddy died: "Inside her, I imagine wheels and racks and cogs covered in pink-and-green chintz, with lipstick-stained lapdogs making it all turn. If you want a sense of her values, rent the movies 'Gaslight' and 'Sweet Smell of Success.' The scheming lead in 'Gaslight,' who sweet talks a wealthy heiress into marrying him and then drives her mad with drugs and double-talk, is her."Not surprisingly, news... -
Sitting in the Denver Airport one morning in January, waiting for a plane to take him to Los Angeles, Jim Fergus could have passed for a traveling salesman, right down to the carry-on and the frazzled look of a man who was out late entertaining clients. And that's exactly what he had been doing. But Fergus is not a salesman, at least not usually. Most days he's a novelist. And his "clients" were booksellers who met him for dinner at the Tattered Cover bookstore's restaurant, the Fourth Story. His merchandise was his latest novel, "The Wild Girl"--and himself.Fergus had just finished the first leg of what publishers call a presell tour, the latest weapon in the never-ending campaign to persuade readers to buy something besides John Grisham and Dan Brown. The idea is to send writers out months before their books appear. They dine with booksellers and try to persuade them to help the book when it comes out. It's usually not an easy gig, says Robert Miller, president of Hyperion, Fergus... -
Robert Oppenheimer had a changeling's face. Seen straight on, he was beguilingly handsome. Seen from the side, he was almost goofy looking. He was slue-footed and a klutz around machines. The contradictions were not superficial: a brilliant physicist who dazzled colleagues with his intellectual improvisations, he often alienated the very people he needed to impress. And while he was notoriously absent-minded, he revealed a genius for administration when he oversaw the development of the atomic bomb in little more than two years. A great American success story, he was also a tragic figure, doomed by many of the qualities that propelled him to fame.The eldest son in a wealthy Jewish family in New York City, Oppenheimer grew up coddled--his mother wouldn't let him play with other children--and pampered: he didn't go to the barber, the barber went to him. When World War II broke out, this intellectual prodigy was teaching physics at Berkeley and Caltech--and writing checks to left-wing... -
Chasing Kubrick
One of my personal markers of the importance a movie has for me is whether I can remember where I saw it. According to this system, about half of Stanley Kubrick's movies rank right up at the top. I saw "Paths of Glory" as a teenager hooked on staying up late and watching old movies on television. I saw "A Clockwork Orange" as a college student visiting London. I saw "Barry Lyndon" on a long afternoon in a theater in North Carolina with about three other people, "Spartacus" in a tiny revival house that doubled as a Catholic church on Sundays in an upstate New York resort area. What's noteworthy here is that I don't like or even admire all these movies. In the case of "A Clockwork Orange," I dislike it intensely. But that's the thing with Kubrick: you can't just not care. He never gave you that option. Good or bad, what he put up on the screen is indelible.If you toss "The Stanley Kubrick Archives," published this month by Taschen, onto the scales weighing directorial greatness,... -
Eating lunch with Ruth Reichl at a New York City sushi restaurant, you can see right off why she's so good at what she does. When the former food critic for The New York Times and current editor of Gourmet magazine confronts a bowl of soup, she takes her time inhaling the aroma and contemplating the arrangement of ground shrimp and mushroom with eel on top. When she finally digs in she practically jumps up and down. "I love this," she exclaims. "This is so good." Sure, she can write; sure, sure she knows about food. But what finally distinguishes her response is the passion she brings to the table.And now that she's no longer a restaurant reviewer, she can leave her wigs at home. At the Times, as she recalls in her beguiling new memoir "Garlic and Sapphires," if she made a reservation in her own name, the steaks got thicker, the raspberries bigger and the service downright obsequious. To find out how an ordinary diner fared, she had to impersonate one. Tucking her extravagant hair...

Housing recovery should pick up speed
Predicting the outlook for the housing market this year is made difficult by the contradiction between wide anecdotal evidence of big price rises, gazumping and other late-Eighties types of experience and the statistics which show a stately pace of recovery.
House prices might have made a comeback as a hot topic of conversation at dinner parties, but the mortgage lenders are keen to emphasise that there is no danger of revisiting the excesses of the last boom. Adrian Coles, director-general of the Building Societies Association, said yesterday: "There is no boom going on. The market is much patchier than it was in the 1980s.
"Although the recovery is now well established, it is progressing at a more moderate pace than some commentators were predicting."
Both remarks find support in recent evidence. Yesterday's figures showed a small monthly increase in new loans by building societies to just over pounds 1.2bn, a level 29 per cent higher than a year earlier. Banks' mortgage lending climbed to pounds 771m, 47 per cent higher than their lending last January.
A small decline in the amount of new loans approved but not yet made by building societies cast a slight shadow over these robust figures, however. Some analysts suggested that uncertainty about interest rates in the run-up to the general election could be holding back demand.
So far the recovery in house prices has been heavily weighted towards London, the South-east and Northern Ireland. The annual rate of increase of nearly 15 per cent in Greater London at the end of last year was twice the national average. Both Halifax and Nationwide reported a small drop in house prices in January, but the most buoyant regions bucked the trend.
Many economists argue that the housing slump during the first half of the 1990s left psychological scars, while low inflation also makes property a less attractive investment. They reckon this means there is no danger of anything more than a steady recovery with pockets of excess.
Others think this overlooks the fundamental economics of the housing market.
David Miles, professor of economics at Imperial College, London, said: "House prices are about 20 per cent undervalued compared to their long- run trend."
With a fixed supply of land and rising costs of housebuilding combined with demographic pressure for more homes, over long periods house prices have grown at about the same pace as the economy as a whole.
Other indicators, such as the ratio of house prices to average earnings, suggest that prices remain low even after last year's 7.4 per cent average increase.
Professor Miles predicted that prices could rise more sharply this year than last. "The fact that they have started to rise means people who want to buy will try to do it quickly, whereas sellers will carry on holding off for a better price," he said.
This ties in with a recent survey of estate agents from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, which complained of the shortage of properties up for sale.
With consumer confidence at its highest since August 1988, unemployment falling, wage increases picking up and the prospect of more than pounds 22bn in handouts of free shares by building societies during the next 12 to 18 months, there must be a good chance of a more than moderate housing recovery.

The Effect of Salt on the Complex Coacervation of Vinyl Polyelectrolytes
Received: 5 May 2014 / Revised: 3 June 2014 / Accepted: 4 June 2014 / Published: 16 June 2014
(This article belongs to the Special Issue Polyelectrolytes 2014)
Abstract: Complex coacervation is an electrostatically-driven phase separation phenomenon that is utilized in a wide range of everyday applications and is of great interest for the creation of self-assembled materials. Here, we utilized turbidity to characterize the effect of salt type on coacervate formation using two vinyl polyelectrolytes, poly(acrylic acid sodium salt) (pAA) and poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (pAH), as simple models for industrial and biological coacervates. We confirmed the dominant role of salt valence on the extent of coacervate formation, while demonstrating the presence of significant secondary effects, which can be described by Hofmeister-like behavior. These results revealed the importance of ion-specific interactions, which are crucial for the informed design of coacervate-based materials for use in complex ionic environments, and can enable more detailed theoretical investigations on the role of subtle electrostatic and thermodynamic effects in complex coacervation.

I am pleased to report that after 13 hours of traveling (2 hours at airport before first flight, 1.5 hour flight, 5 hour layover, 8 hour flight, 1 hour at baggage claim, and a 0.5 hour bus ride), I am officially studying abroad in Geneva! My roommate, Nikki, is delightful and almost as drowsy from jet lag as I am. Our room is outfitted entirely in Ikea furniture/sheets/rolled up pillows. It's all very white with a few hints of black and gray. ...
Packing, packing and flying
Today was purely about getting off and ready to go.
Rob went round to fix Suzy's tire first thing and make sure she was good to go again. We packed and jammed and weighed for a few hours. Then took off to the train at Bare. We got to Manchester Airport in good time and checked through all okay until security Honestly they are worse the Australia. Our bag had to be scanned again, even after they had checked it - twice!

What a beautiful place

The Chateau has a very interesting history. In 1904 Mary Wallce Schillito, a wealthy American lady discovered the magnificent panorama while travelling with her companion through the domain of the Avenieres. ...

Coming soon in visual arts: From Australia to Margate
Australia: so much to see, so far to travel. Hence the most satisfying thing about this autumn's calendar is news that a bunch of top curators have edited 200 years of the nation's art and are delivering it to our doorsteps for £14 a ticket. Australia at the Royal Academy, London (21 Sept to 8 Dec), features work by settlers and indigenous people and, best of all, includes four paintings from Sidney Nolan's Ned Kelly series, the source of much mythology and fame.
Other big institutions in the capital are lining up their autumn blockbusters too. Art Under Attack (Tate Britain, 2 Oct to 5 Jan) examines 500 years of assaults on work for religious, political or aesthetic reasons. Meanwhile, Facing the Modern: The Portrait in Vienna 1900 (National Gallery, 9 Oct to 12 Jan) promises a Sachertorte of works by Klimt, Schiele and Kokoschka and sits well alongside Tate Modern's Paul Klee (16 Oct to 9 Mar).
After all that angsty Modernism, gallery-goers will need a day by the sea: head to Margate for a dose of Turner and Constable: Sketching from Nature (Turner Contemporary, 5 Oct to 5 Jan).
More left field, I'm looking forward to Elmgreen and Dragset's Tomorrow at the V&A (1 Oct to 2 Jan, below), in which the artists turn five galleries into the apartment of a fictional architect. And, at Manchester City Art Gallery, Turner Prize-winner Jeremy Deller's All That Is Solid Melts Into Air (12 Oct to 19 Jan), a show that explores the links between working class culture and music.
Finally, an art and architecture double whammy in London as the Serpentine opens its Sackler outpost in a converted ammunition store in Hyde Park. The first show is by Adrian Villar-Rojas (28 Sept to 10 Nov), who works in brick, and the building is by Zaha Hadid, queen of polished concrete: a thrilling case of the rough meeting the smooth.

Why You're Searching for "Meredith Baxter Birney," "Transgressions," and "Joan Najbar"
By Sam Brand Posted Dec 2nd 2009 07:59PM
Wondering why "Meredith Baxter Birney," "Transgressions," "Cassandra Sproch," and "Joan Najbar" are surging in Google Trends? We can shed some light on the mystery. Google Trends provides the hottest keywords of the hour. Though the results change frequently, the list offers a snapshot of what's hot in the world of entertainment news. Here's what's steamin' tonight...
Transgressions – "Transgressions" is the new "sexual relations," though Google was just a beta baby when those words were uttered by our 42nd President in 1998. It's the indecipherable cheater's catchphrase of the moment. It's an admission of guilt on Tiger's behalf, of sorts, but not the all-out confession we've been looking for. Not that we necessarily deserve the whole truth. What's going on between Tiger, his wife and the perhaps dozens of women across the geography of the PGA Tour with whom he "transgressed" is a private affair. He doesn't owe it to us to paint every last detail of what went down. But he might owe it to online gamblers who put a wager on whether or not Tiger would come clean. Bookmaker.com offers "Tiger Woods admits on having an affair" at +330. "He will buy her an expensive ring a la Kobe Bryant" is offered at +550.
Tiger Woods Affairs Voicemail – If that's not Tiger's voice, we don't know whose it is. And Tiger hasn't denied Jaimee Grubbs' allegation that it's the superstar golfer on the line. The only lady mentioned in his public apology is his wife Elin Nordegren, and he says physical violence played no role in the accident that kicked this whole escapade into gear. It's still unclear whether Elin spotted Jaimee's number on the phone bill and whether the 24-year-old cocktail waitress changed her message before Lady Woods gave her a call. Maybe Jaimee even got on the line with Elin, and if so, maybe she recorded the conversation. We knew this scandal was far from over, but you never know in what direction it will go next.
Joan Najbar – Minnesota military mom and notorious anti-war activist Joan Najbar received a shocking piece of mail in 2006. It was her own letter sent out weeks earlier to her son stationed in Iraq, returned, unopened, and stamped in red with "DECEASED." She got in touch with son Sam hours after receiving the letter, and it turns out he was alive and well, though according to her "being shot at in Baghdad." Now Najbar is suing the federal government for what she calls "somebody's cruel little joke."
Meredith Baxter Birney – The mama from 'Family Ties' is no longer married to actor/director David Birney. They divorced in 1990, a year after 'Family Ties' got punted off the air. Now the recently outted lesbian is just Meredith Baxter. But she may soon become Meredith Baxter Locke. She cites her 4 year relationship with building contractor Nancy Locke as the reason she decided to come out of the closet. Check here for "5 Clues From 'Family Ties' that Meredith Baxter Birney was Gay All Along."
Cassandra Sproch – Cassandra Sproch was one of those cool teachers. Maybe she was too cool for her own good. The Pittsburgh dance instructor allegedly invited several underage students into her home, served them wine, and then attempted to sexually assault a pair of young gentlemen. Now she's being charged with indecent assault, corruption and unlawful contact with minors, endangering the welfare of a child and furnishing alcohol to minors. Sometimes being cool is not all that cool at all.
Michelle Obama Ape Woman – The disgusting Photoshop job won't be removed from Google Image search results. So says the Mountain View-based internet giant that refuses, even under the most tasteless circumstances, to let "the beliefs and preferences of those who work at Google, as well as the opinions of the general public... determine or impact our search results." So Michelle Obama Ape Woman stays, and hopefully sends a message to those who come upon it, not that racism is OK, but ugly, and unfortunately, still very much alive in our world today.

By-law change approved, pending membership vote
Student chapters to include digital programs
The RTDNA board has approved a change to the Association by-laws, pending a vote by the membership, related to student chapters. At present, the by-laws allow RTDNA student chapters to form at schools that teach radio and television journalism. A change in wording would allow schools with digital journalism programs to also be eligible.
The board approved the change in language at its June meeting, and will ask the membership of the Association to vote on the new wording at the national convention. The change will be put to a voice vote of members at RTNDA's opening business meeting on September 4 at Excellence in Journalism 2014.
"Adding the word 'digital' to the by-laws pertaining to student chapters reflects the ever-changing nature of journalism and is consistent with our mission to represent all electronic journalists," said Chris Carl, RTDNA Chairman. "The amendment was drafted and approved by the governance committee and approved by the full board of directors, and board members felt it was important to include the full membership on this decision."
The Association's by-laws require informing members of upcoming by-law changes in advance. We are posting this information on our website, and alerting members via our email newsletter and social media channels. The Association's full constitution and by-laws can be found here.
The proposed change in wording is below:
Section 1. Recognition
(a) The Board of Directors may recognize as Student Chapters of the Association groups of students at universities and colleges offering instruction in radio and television, television and digital journalism, provided such groups shall adopt bylaws which the board determines will promote the purposes of the Association and are consistent with the bylaws of the Association.

Ukrainian separatists said they had pushed government troops out of two districts on the outskirts of their main stronghold Donetsk and their aim was to expand control to the entire eastern region.
The French government faces a confidence vote in the national assembly after President Francois Hollande and his prime minister, Manuel Valls, ousted dissident ministers in a signal perhaps that they are prepared to push ahead with unpopular structural reforms to breathe life into a moribund economy.
Coming data on same-store sales will help illuminate whether the modest upward tick in prices is something that is being replicated throughout the economy and signalling a stronger overall economy or perhaps one that remains more weighted to the most wealthy in the United States. According to Thomson Reuters data, Costco is poised to post the strongest same-store sales figures among the retail chains, though its 4.6 percent estimated increase would fall short of the 5 percent rise a year ago. The figures have a bit less utility than in the past given the likes of Wal-Mart stopped supplying this data years ago, but you work with what you have. Either way, it's notable that the discounters have been weak this year - a sign of lackluster spending outlooks for lower income Americans.
I'm going to confess right here that I don't possess the requisite statistical skills to hazard an opinion on whether shareholders benefit when their corporation engages in lobbying and campaign expenditures. If you have a more powerful appetite for numbers than I do, John Coates of Harvard Law School offers a bibliography of academic studies that conclude corporate political spending is bad for shareholders at the Harvard Forum on Corporate Governance (including his own influential 2012 paper for the Journal of Empirical Legal Studies). Want a different view? A pair of economics consultants from Sonecon disputed Coates and those who think likewise in a 2012 paper for the Manhattan Institute that found corporate political spending has "a generally positive effect" on a company's value, in terms of market returns. You can pick whichever analysis suits you because I'm not going to argue the merits of either. I do believe, however, that regardless of the benefits of lobbying and campaign contributions, shareholders have a right to know when and how their money is being spent on politics.
The Federal Reserve's decision to keep printing dollars at an unchanged rate, mirrored by the Bank of Japan sticking with its massive stimulus programme, should have surprised nobody.
The spectacular failure of "expansionary austerity" policies has set Greece on a path worse than the Great Depression, according to a study from the Levy Economics Institute of Bard College.
As Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke delivered what may have been his last testimony on monetary policy before Congress, most of the world's attention was focused on what hints he might give about the timing of an eventual reduction in the pace of asset purchases.
Emerging markets may not have all the technological know-how in civil aerospace, but from China across the world to Brazil, they do have the cash.
The world's leading ad agencies are positioning themselves in Brazil, Russia and China -- countries that are expected to provide almost a third of the growth in global advertising over the next three years. That's according to a report by S&P Capital IQ Equity Research, a unit of publishing giant McGraw Hill.

'Dancing With the Stars: All-Stars' Put on Their Ballroom Best for Cast Portraits (Photos)
Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas geek out as the rest of returning competitors and their professional partners ready to hit ABC's ballroom.
Dancing With the Stars may still be a month from returning to the air, but ABC is wasting no time in plugging its All-Star reunion season.
Most of the ensemble, with their recently announced partners, posed for their official season 15 portraits, reminding fans what they all used to look like in sequins and parachute pants.
PHOTOS: 'Dancing With the Stars: All-Stars' Official Cast Portraits
Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas, the reunited season 11 duo, ham it up the most -- with Ballas wearing his glasses and the two blowing imaginary smoke off of their finger guns.
Pamela Anderson and Kelly Monaco are also looking cozy with their new partners, Tristan McManus and Val Chmerkovskiy. And Cheryl Burke and Emmit Smith are happily reunited.
Missing from the photo shoot are Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy -- perhaps too busy practicing? -- and wildcards Carson Kressley, Kyle Massey and Sabrina Bryan. One of the latter three will officially join the cast after an announcement on Aug 27.
Look through all of the photos in THR's Dancing With the Stars: All-Stars cast gallery.

READ FULL REVIEWThis review is from: GIGABYTE GV-R667D3-1GI Radeon HD 6670 1GB 128-Bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
Pros: This was the cheapest graphics card I could find that could still run recent games at low to medium settings at 1080p.
Cons: Does not overclock well.
It's pretty loud.
