Home Treatments For Chicken Pox
Coming down with the chicken pox is one of the worst experiences a person can go through. For children, it's a week of uncomfortable itching and unsightly boils all over their body. For teens and adults, it's a more severe infection that usually requires antiviral drugs to reduce the risk of complications.
What is Chicken Pox?
Chicken pox is a very contagious illness that typically occurs during a person's childhood, from 4 to 10 years of age. Those infected will find themselves covered with hundreds of red, itchy blisters, filled with fluid that can burst and become crusted. Here are some things you should know about the chicken pox:
- It is caused by the varicella zoster virus (VZV).
- The illness is highly contagious, requiring the infected person to stay at home during the duration of the contagious period, which typically lasts from four to five days.
- Chicken pox is an airborne disease that is commonly spread through coughing, sneezing or having direct contact with fluids that secrete from the blisters.
- Has the appearance of a severe rash that can appear almost anywhere on the body.
- Children usually develop up to 500 of the itchy, red blisters all over their skin.
- It commonly starts from the head, face and scalp, and spreads from there.

Chicken Pox Symptoms
In children, common ailments start just before the chicken pox rash breaks out. Symptoms include:
- Headache
- Fever
- Stomach ache
- Loss of appetite
After the first couple of days after the rash has appeared, the blisters will start to get cloudy, then harden and begin to scab. More groups of the rash will continue to form. Those infected do not need to worry about scarring unless they scratch at the scabs, which can cause infection.
Home Treatments
Chicken pox will resolve on its own after several weeks, with no real cure available for the condition. Home treatments are recommended to prevent further complications, and to help the ailment subside as smoothly as possible.
- Personal hygiene: Personal hygiene is very important for a person who is afflicted by chicken pox. Good hygiene can help to prevent infections, especially in areas where dirt can get trapped like on the hair. Shampoo hair daily with a mild shampoo and take baths in lukewarm water.
- No scratching: Constant scratching is one of the easiest ways to make the chicken pox condition even worse; it can lead to infection and scarring. People who come down with the chicken pox should make sure their nails are always clipped, and should even were gloves as a precautionary measure. When drying the infected person's body after a bath, remember to pat them down, don't rub.
- Lotions and creams: Itch-relieving lotions and skin creams are the most common treatments used to help someone get through the chicken pox. Calamine lotion can be applied to the skin to help relieve itching. A physician can also prescribe an antihistamine to help with the itching. Topical lotions and antiviral medications, like acyclovir, are also available for use on the infected person.
- Stay cool: Heat and sweat can induce discomfort and exacerbate the itching caused by the chicken pox. Try keeping the infected person in a cool area, and use cool, wet compresses to help relieve itching.
- Herbal remedies: There are numerous herbal remedies that have been shown to be quite useful on someone infected with the chicken pox, whether they are ingested, like in a cup of tea, or applied on the skin through a herbal bath. Oatmeal baths have been known to be quite effective for relieving the itching. St. John's Wort and Burdock can also be added to a lukewarm bath, or they can be ingested with tea.
- Rest: The most important home treatment for chicken pox is getting plenty of rest at home; the body is more than capable of fighting off the illness by itself.
Things to Avoid
- Oily, spicy or acidic food. Anything that might affect the infected person's skin or might make eating difficult if the chicken pox is around the mouth area. For example, you want to avoid any spicy foods that can make your body hot, causing you to sweat.
- Aspirin, which can cause complications and secondary infections in some people.
- If you use calamine lotion to relieve itchy areas, avoid using it around the face, especially near the person's eyes.
Special Cases
- Pregnant women are at high risk for severe complications if they become infected by the chicken pox. Should this ever occur, seek medical attention immediately.
- While most people develop several hundred red spots throughout their bodies, those with skin problems, like eczema, can get up to 1,000 or more pox.
- It is possible for adults who have already experienced the chicken pox to become infected with another ailment caused by VZV known as shingles. Similar to chicken pox, shingles is a painful skin rash that blisters, typically on one side of the body. There is no definitive explanation as to why the disease becomes active again after a person has already been infected by the chicken pox. Treatments for the shingles are similar to chicken pox, and your physician can prescribe antivirals to help fight the virus.

text: Intrepid Norwood ice swimmer Warren Phelops heading to World Championships in Estonia 9 January 2018 FundraisingPress Release Warren Phelops, 51, who was nearly paralysed after a rugby injury in 2002, last year set himself a challenge to swim in Hampstead Ponds every day all the way up to Christmas Day for charity. Now he has an even bigger prize in mind… Having completed a six-month fundraising challenge that saw him raise £500 for Norwood, Warren Phelops has registered with the Team GB at March's Winter Swimming Games in Estonia. Warren started regularly swimming in Hampstead Ponds last summer, when the relatively warm weather meant it was more a case of enjoyment than endurance. But he and his friends' competitive spirit soon took over, and they hatched a plan to take things up a notch – and all in the name of charity! They decided to see who could keep swimming in the lake every day through the icy cold winter months, with Christmas Day being the ultimate goal. Last man standing, Warren, has now decided he wants to do more with his aptitude for this most demanding of pastimes. "Since my rugby injury in 2002, when I was nearly paralysed, I've been limited in which sports I can pursue," explains Warren. "So I can't do anything high-impact any more. But I've still been very active in sporting challenges including cycling, where I completed the Etape de Tour (one of the hardest stages of the Tour de France) for charity with my friend (and long-time Norwood fundraiser) Ashley Fulton. So doing charity challenges is nothing new – although this one is certainly a bit different!" While his love affair with ice swimming came about almost by accident, now he has the bug, Warren has no intention of stopping any time soon. "The ultimate goal was to get to Christmas Day, which I achieved. But I've already been back in since the New Year and now I'm going to apply to be part of Team GB at the Winter Swimming World Championships in Estonia on 6 March," he explains. Due to the extreme nature of this particular sport and the demands it puts on the body, Warren will still need to hit the ponds at least three times a week, whatever the weather, until March so that he remains accustomed to the extremely cold water. "It's not something you can take lightly as you can easily end up with hypothermia," he continues. "Despite my experience, even I had one very worrying incident in the water in November. So you really have to respect the conditions." Warren has so far raised more than £500 for Norwood and hopes that this figure will continue to rise throughout the year. Speaking about why he chose Norwood, Warren added: "I only hear good things on how Norwood is run, and the marvellous things it does for the community. I also think it's important to support one's community, and I am particularly interested in supporting those that Norwood cares for – vulnerable children and their families, children with special educational needs and people with learning disabilities." Further information For further information please contact Norwood press team: By email: email@example.com By phone: 020 8420 6866 or 07736 458532 More images are available upon request About Norwood Challenges In 2017 Norwood celebrated 25 years of organising Challenges – from cycling in South Africa to trekking in Iceland. It was the first charity in the UK to introduce the charity cycle challenge and has been attracting participants to our rides and treks ever since. Norwood has taken thousands of challenge participants all over the world, testing their levels of endurance to the limit, giving them the chance to achieve something spectacular, as well as making friendships and memories to last a lifetime. The charity's challenge participants, who range in age from 18 to 82, have been inspired to raise millions of pounds to support our work with thousands of vulnerable children and their families, children with special educational needs and adults with learning disabilities every year. Many have said that getting the chance to cycle alongside some of the people supported by Norwood made the experience even more memorable. About Norwood Norwood is the largest Jewish charity in the UK supporting vulnerable children and their families, children with special educational needs and people with learning disabilities and autism. Founded in 1795, Norwood is one of the UK's oldest charities and the only Jewish charity to enjoy the Patronage of Her Majesty The Queen. It helps children and adults to maximise their potential at home, at school and throughout their lives, through personalised services designed to enable choice. Each year Norwood needs £35m to keep its services running, £12m of which comes through voluntary donations. These services include a total of 55 residential, supported living and family centres across London and the South East. Norwood currently runs eight charity shops across North and East London thanks to the support of 150 dedicated volunteers.

Bear in the Big Blue House I honestly think is right up there with Sesame Street & Arthur as some of the greatest kid shows ever created. Not only is it educational unlike "Brightly-Colored Junkfood" like Barney or Teletubbies, but it is absolute fun for young kids. The show tells such creative & imaginative stories. The show also has some really good songs for almost every episode, I was amazed at how creative they were too. All the characters are such memorable creations, and they set an example of how unique characters most kids' shows should have, but don't. I do wish this show was still on TV and for the newer generations to watch, because this show I feel will never become dated, similar to the older seasons of Sesame Street. I honestly do feel that a lot of people are too harsh on this show, because a treasure like this is what most kid shows should be like, instead of being "Junkfood" for the minds of youth.

Speakout 4/22
Call 471-6636
I've long wondered if politicians have any conscience at all or any moral responsibilities. After reading in the paper today about the three senators and two representatives who have no qualms about taking taxpayers' money to benefit themselves, and only themselves, after they are all out of Congress. They should all be ashamed of themselves.
I'm calling in reference to the person who said of the lady who drowned her children, it's not the same thing as abortion. Murder is murder and if those babies could look at you in the face, I'm sure they would say, "Mommy, please don't kill me."
You are talking about paying the slave people. These people now have no right to anything now. If you want to pay somebody, pay the Indians. They are the ones who were abused, stolen from, cheated on. You name it, they've done it. That's what we need. Pay the Indians.
I would like to comment about the $30 million that have been paid out erroneously. I would like to know what, if any, difference there would have been to recoup that money? I feel that since it's a minority there probably has been none. I got a $100 check too much one time and they hounded me until I sent it back. Why can they waste $30 million and let them spend all that money on $100 or even $1. I would just bet there's been nothing done to regain that $30 million that they gave out erroneously.
It's time us race fans need to call the cable company and get FX put on. Our cable bills are going up all the time and it seems like the services are going down and the channels are going down. They really need to put FX on with the standard deal or make it available where you can get it. In my opinion, Charter Cable is not too good these days.
I saw in SpeakOut where someone had the same concern I have. Why aren't the city court reports in the paper anymore? I would like to know. I'd like to see it.
We're trying to get them.
I called yesterday claiming that I hadn't seen any news about a NASCAR driver who got arrested in Florida and has since then been gone easy on, I guess you could say. It seems the same day I called you guys finally did print something in your sports section, although I thought that would have been a bigger deal than to just be tucked in the middle of the section, but beggars can't be choosers. Thank you for printing it, at long last.
We couldn't print the information until we received it. The April 17 report was issued by the Associated Press and is the only information we received concerning the case.
Well, there's more than one reason people have handicap parking places. It's because some people have had a stroke and can't walk very far and they need the handicap places. But people who aren't even handicapped park in there and we have to walk farther than they do.

Terrain 2010, Landscapes inspired by California
I'm happy to announce the next group show that I am participating in entitled "Terrain: Landscapes inspired by California". I'm especially excited about this show because I've been painting landscapes en plein air seriously over the last few years. These are the seven studies that were accepted into the show. They were painted at various locations from the coast to the hills of the Bay Area. The opening reception is this coming Sunday, June 13th from 2-6pm at Studio Gallery and I plan to there towards the beginning. I hope to see you there.

Get A Crowd Together And Watch The Hilarity Ensue!Reviewing: Hasbro Games Scattergories | Rating:
Scattergories is my ALL-TIME FAVORITE board game. It is great for late night get-togethers with friends, when everyone is in the mood for a good time. Everytime we break this game out at parties, it is inevitable that we will end up laughing so hard we cry.
The basics of the game: Someone rolls a very large many-sided die with various letters on it. For each round, everyone has a list of 10 categories. Once the timer starts, everyone must come up with one item for each category that begins with the rolled letter. For example, if the letter rolled is an "M" and the first category on the list for that round is "Boy's Name", you could write down Marvin or Michael or Mark, etc. After the timer goes off and the round is complete, everyone must put down their pens and read their answers for each category. If anyone has matching answers with anyone else, they do not get a point for that category. Only unique answers get points. So your best bet is to get very, very creative with your answers, very often with extremely comical results!
I do wish that this game would come with more expansion packs with more rounds and new categories. I do remember seeing one at a store once, but have not been able to find it since. Other than that, this game is GREAT! Run out and get it NOW!

Let $(S, \leq)$ be a partial order with two minimal elements a and b, and a maximum element c. Let P: S \(\to\) {True, False} be a predicate defined on S. Suppose that P(a) = True, P(b) = False and P(x) \(\implies\) P(y) for all $x, y \in S$ satisfying $x \leq y$, where $\implies$ stands for logical implication. Which of the following statements CANNOT be true?
This problem is solved at 1:00:22. See for better explanation
Maximum element is $c$: So, $c$ is of higher order than any other element in $S$
Minimal elements are $a$ and $b$: No other element in $S$ is of lower order than either $a$ or $b$.
We are given $P(a) = \text{TRUE}$. So, for all $x$ such that $a \leq x$, $P(x)$ must be $ \text{TRUE}$. We do have at least one such $x$, which is $c$ as it is the maximum element. So, D CANNOT be true.
Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partially_ordered_set
Correct Answer: $D$
Sir , I am unable to get the meaning of the question itself , can you please explain it pecisely what do u mean by
@arjun sir...how C option is true
P(x) = False for all x ∈ S such that b ≤ x and x ≠ c
x is related to b when we do not know, x is related to a or not.
Question has four parts-
This tells that whatever element relates to $a$, that has to be TRUE, i.e if $x$ relates to $a$ ($a \leq x$) then $P(x)$ has to be true to hold $P(a) \Rightarrow P(x)$ formula.
In option D, $x$ relates to $a$ but they are showing $P(x)$ as false, which can NOT be true.
@Arjun sir...how C option is true
x is related to b , but x can also be related to a as a ≤ x , and in this case P(x)= true since P(a) is true . P(b) is FALSE so it won't affect x (FALSE -> FALSE and FALSE implies TRUE are both TRUE).
'a' and 'b' are given as minimal elements. No other element in S is of lower order than either a or b.
'c' is given as maximum element. So, c is of higher order than any other element in S.
P(a) = True means all elements 'x' which have an edge from element 'a' have to be true.
Since there is an edge from 'a', we have to satisfy formula P(a) => P(x), which can only be done by setting
P(x) = True.
Elements which have an edge from b can be anything because formula P(b) => P(x) is satisfied as P(b) = False.
(A) This statement is true because making all elements true trivially satisfy formula P(x) => P(y).
(B) This statement is true if all elements are connected from b then all elements can be false.
(C) This statement is true because b<=x ensures x!=a and for all other elements P(x) can be false without violating the given implication.
(D) This statement is false. Since, P(a) = true , for all 'x' such that a<=x, P(x) must be true. We do have at least one such 'x', which is 'c' as it is the maximum element.
Thus, option (D) is the answer.

The INSIDER Summary:
- People are always talking about plastic surgery to fix their problems.
- Two surgeons gave their opinion to someone who was curious to see what was "wrong" with her body.
- These two surgeons said that plastic surgery is all about what the patient wants to fix, not what surgeons can find "wrong."
When I was about 15, my parents called me into their room and sat me down.
"Melissa, we just wanted to let you know that if you ever wanted a nose job, your mother and I would pay for it," my dad said.
For the record, I'm Jewish, but between my god-awful acne and four-year-long relationship with a full set of braces, I had never considered my nose to be a problem. I did, and still do, love my nose. It's a bit on the bigger side, but I like to think that its angularity gives me character, and is even — dare I say — kind of cute.
Plastic surgery has never been something I've ever wanted, or felt I needed. Usually fluctuating between a size 0 and 2, I'm also not someone that society would look at and say, Oh yes, she could definitely use [fill-in-the-blank] procedure. But for some reason, society looks at other women — bigger women — and makes those kinds of calls for them. Someone get that girl some lipo; someone give her a tummy tuck; someone put her under the knife.
Let me clarify by saying that I'm not anti-cosmetic surgery at all; I think every person should decide for themselves what they want to do (or not do) in order to be happy with the way that they look. But I did want to prove that no matter what you look like, whether you're a size 2 or a size 22, someone somewhere will find fault with your body.
So, in a fit of masochism, I decided to have the experts — a couple of plastic surgeons — look me over and tell me what was "wrong" with my body.
My first consult was with Dr. Joshua Zuckerman. When the elevator opened up to his midtown Manhattan office, this was the first thing to greet me.
I must be in the right place, I thought. I sat down with Dr. Zuckerman who, right away, said that his approach to plastic surgery isn't to point out every single perceived flaw a patient might have.
"Ah," I said, trying to hide my disappointment.
"They almost always come for a specific problem," Dr. Zuckerman said. "It's almost never, 'hey, what's wrong with me, come and fix me.'" That's just not the way he does it, he said, and neither do most plastic surgeons. He won't tell patients what's "wrong" with their bodies; it all depends on what they want to fix.
"People usually have a specific concern about a specific part of their body... and are looking to make a specific change."
"If I get cornered at a bar by one of my wife's friends like, 'look at my face, what would you to do me?' I mean, if they really want to know, I can look at somebody's face," he said.
He looked at my own face. "I mean, I could look at you and, what, you're probably late twenties?" he guessed. I am, I told him.
"That's the age at which a lot of people start to do some facial injectables or a little laser resurfacing or things like that — a little Botox to the forehead," he said. "You have a few minimal lines in your forehead — raise your eyebrows for me — yeah, minimal, but it's the sort of thing where, if you care," he said cautiously, "Botox would probably smooth most of that out."
"In terms of the rest of you," he continued, "I mean, there's not much; you could always fill out these cheeks a little bit — you're a little flat in the mid-face here, but not in an unattractive way. That's the way the face ages, over time — it all falls down."
"What about my nose?" I asked him, as I told him about my parents' offer from when I was a teenager. Dr. Zuckerman had me turn to the side.
"Could I do something about your nose? Yeah, sure," he said, but assured me that my nose was perfectly "anatomically normal," and doesn't need fixing.
Like with any kind of cosmetic procedure, he said, "it's just a matter of do you like it or not, are you happy with it or not, do you want to make a change?"
Plastic surgery for some people, he said, is "like getting your hair done, where you're going to spend a certain amount of money every few weeks or months — I try to compare it like that, where if you want to continue having the effect, you have to keep doing it."
"It's just a part of their routine, how they keep themselves looking the way they want to look; it's part of what makes them happy about their appearance," he said, but noted that he's not the one who can make his patients feel good about their bodies.
"It's not up for me to determine; it's up to you what makes you feel good about yourself. I can help change the way you look... but it's up to you before or after surgery to feel good about yourself."
My next consult was with Dr. David Shafer, just a few blocks away. His office reminded me of my regular doctor's office… minus all the injectables ads.
When I asked Dr. Shafer about the fix-all-of-me approach, his answer was pretty similar to Dr. Zuckerman's.
"When my patients come in, they're coming in for a specific thing — or sometimes they'll come in and say, 'Dr. Shafer, what should I get done?'" the plastic surgeon and RealSelf contributor said. "And then we kind of go through what bothers them [about their appearance], and then I'll go through and talk to them about things that can be done."
What he would never do, he said, is look a patient over and say, "Oh, that's got to go."
"So then if I were to come in as a patient and point out my 'problem areas,' what would you suggest I do to fix them?" I asked.
Dr. Shafer asked me to show him which areas I considered "problem areas," and I gestured to my belly, hips, and thighs, which I still sometimes get self-conscious about.
"I mean, it doesn't look like a big problem. There's a little fat here," he said, gesturing to my belly, "but when we do liposuction we don't take out ALL the fat - you need a thin layer of fat under the skin."
"One thing that people don't appreciate is this area right here, there's fat right here," he said, pointing to my sides. "You're a little square right in here, and so by doing liposuction here and here, we can give you more of an hourglass shape, but it really depends if that's what you're looking for."
"And then a lot of people like to see their hip bones right here, and so just by liposuctioning a little bit, you'll get some contour there," Dr. Shafer continued. "And then the other thing people don't think of is the lower back. So by scooping this out a little bit it'll give you more of this nice shape around the body, and it also enhances the butt. And then you can take all that fat that we just took out, put it in the butt, and you just get a little more. But for someone like you, you would be a good liposuction candidate, but you wouldn't be a good tummy tuck candidate."
Some people also opt for liposuction around the knees, which is another area where fat can accumulate, he said. "You don't have that; you're nice and thin and in good shape, but some people do."
When I told my friends what I'd be doing for this article, some expressed concern. "Are you really going to have a couple of plastic surgeons nitpick your body in the name of journalism?" they asked. But as I headed back to the office after my two consultations, I didn't feel picked apart. In fact, I felt more certain that my body is mine, and while I may never want or "need" plastic surgery, I don't begrudge those who do opt for these kinds of procedures.
I'm sure there are even some women out there with bodies like mine or noses like mine who would like nothing better than a little lipo, a couple of implants, or a quick rhinoplasty — or who have even been told, by parents or former partners, that this is something they should consider.
There's always going to be someone out there who finds flaws in the way you look. But whether or not you should change it? Whether or not you decide to love yourself regardless? That's not something that comes from an operating room.

Nothing says "Southern" like a Mason jar, and Heirloom Eats is doing its part to keep the glassmakers afloat. Its big centerpiece, a chandelier hanging in the dining room, is hard not to notice. The bulbs are housed inside bluish and white Mason jars, and they're suspended by their cords from an old door that is in turn suspended from the ceiling. More reclaimed doors and windows, old paint half-stripped, hang above the plate glass windows. The decorations are clever, and they establish a stylish but down-home feel, a sort of hip Southern nostalgia.
But it's really just a veneer. Yes, the walls are now painted in earthy greens and browns, and an eight-stool bar has taken the place of the old steam table buffet, but it's still the same L-shaped dining room with rows of booths that, until not too long ago, housed the Palmetto Pig, a modest family barbecue joint.
The Palmetto Pig's owners decided to close their doors and transform the space into Heirloom Eats. It's still a Southern restaurant, but a much more up-to-date and self-conscious one.
Instead of appetizers, there are "sharing" items and "put-ups" that offer a canonical selection of new-New South preparations, like okra fries with garlic aioli ($7), red pepper jam over soft cheese ($5.50), and "Southern caviar" black-eyed pea dip ($5.50).
Mason glassware figures prominently in the menu as well as the decor. The pimento cheese ($5.50) is served in a squat little jar, as are the pork rilletes ($6.50). Both are pretty good — the pimento cheese is a creamy but very savory variety, with a sharp onion bite, and the pork rilletes are cool and smooth. Apart from the little smear of tangy brown mustard that accompanied the rilletes, the presentation of the two was identical: a little jar in the center of a round white plate with a pile of lightly dressed mesclun, some triangles of warm pita bread, and long, wavy sesame crackers arranged around it.
Those sesame-crusted crackers should be banned permanently from dip platters (and, unfortunately, I seem to come across more and more these days), for the strong flavor of the toasted sesame seeds stomps all over whatever they're dipped in. The warm pita is better, mild and inoffensive and just fine for spreading with both the cheese and the pork.
I really like the "SoCo" chips ($3.50), a blend of sweet potatoes and russet potatoes sliced super thin and fried until crisp and airy. The "Heirloom" pickled vegetables ($3.50) are served standing upright in — you guessed it — a small Mason jar filled with pickle brine. The "Heirloom" part, I must assume, refers to the restaurant's name, not the vegetables themselves, since the selection — green beans, strips of red and bell pepper, garlic cloves, cauliflower — seem no different than what you'd find in your nearby supermarket produce section, not some long-lost heirloom varieties from ancient gardens. But they're crisp, and the pickle is passable, if perhaps a bit on the tart side and without any darkness or complexity to the flavors.
The entrée choices are quite tempting when you first pick up the menu, offering a range of any number of things that could be good. There's sweet tea-smoked chicken with red pepper glaze ($9.50), short ribs with black pepper dumplings, parsnips, and goat cheese cream ($15), and a farro "perlau" with butternut squash, sweet potato, and charred onions ($9.95).
Unfortunately, the end result is often less compelling than the menu descriptions. The fried catfish ($14) itself is quite good: tender and juicy beneath its crispy cornmeal crust. But it's served over an "heirloom bean ragout" made of butter beans and limas that vary in color and size but are united in their blandness, despite the chunks of carrot and the reddish sauce in which they're mingled. Even blander is the pile of plain Carolina Gold Rice underneath, evidence that just using Carolina Gold alone isn't enough.
And so it goes with many of the other entrées: a few good elements to each, but always something amiss and a general shortage of flavor. The Wadmalaw chicken ($11) tosses chunks of chicken, andouille sausage, and tasso in a bechamel sauce over a huge serving of grits. The sausages and red pepper strips do little to liven up the sauce, and the fluffy grits need something more to boost their flavor. Those same creamy grits are employed in the requisite shrimp and grits ($12), a variation made with a bright orange cream sauce that's billed as a "spiced tomato ragout." The shrimp are plump and tasty, but there's too much of the mild, creamy sauce, and the little disks of dry sausage and tart bites from occasional slivers of pickled green peppers don't really add anything.
There's just something consistently missing — no tinge of smoke or tang of citrus, nor the fragrance of fresh herbs like chervil or tarragon, all the elements that distinguish the heirloom, hyper-local cooking that Charleston's most famous chefs have gotten national recognition for over the past few years.
That said, we did stumble upon some very tasty items on the menu. The pulled pork barbecue, a popular holdover from the Palmetto Pig menu, is juicy and smoky with a nice yellowish mustard sauce. The fried chicken is superb — juicy and crispy and salty and everything you could ask for. They're both served meat-and-two style ($9.50), with a choice of familiar sides like mac and cheese, cole slaw, and collard greens. These seem like the true heirlooms on the menu, relics of a simpler time when families could go out for an occasional restaurant meal without needing lardons or charred onions or any sort of aioli.
The setting and service don't do much to improve the experience. The Mason jar lamps and the quiet blues on the sound system set a fine mood, but the booths are dreadfully uncomfortable, and the service can best be described as friendly but distracted. On multiple visits, tedious gaps of waiting for drinks to be refilled or orders to be taken were made even longer by the wait for entrées to arrive.
Today's market is a tough one for independent restaurateurs, especially those in that tricky middle ground between fast casual chains and expensive fine dining. Mt. Pleasant, in particular, has seen far more than its fair share of sit-down barbecue restaurants and homey meat-and-twos open and close within the past few years. Perhaps there's a way to improve the formula and draw in the crowds, but donning the trendy trappings of "heirloom" ingredients and local-centricity doesn't seem the like way to do it. Even if you do put it in a Mason jar.

Religion & Homosexuality
Well, the American Family Association's decision to add SpongeBob Squarepants to the "enemies of the traditional family" list has gotten play all over the internets. Chuck Currie and Jesus' General are on the case, and you can find many more links here. While we wait for that report on the "disturbing connection between Yogi Bear and Boo-Boo," let's look at this possible explanation for the brouhaha:
Dobson said SpongeBob's creators had enlisted him in a "pro-homosexual video," in which he appeared alongside other children's television characters, including Barney, Blue's Clues, Clifford the Big Red Dog and Jimmy Neutron. The makers of the video, Dobson said, planned to mail it to thousands of elementary schools this spring to promote a "tolerance pledge" that includes tolerance for differences of "sexual identity."
The video's creator, Nile Rodgers, who wrote the disco hit We Are Family, says Dobson's objection stemmed from a misunderstanding.
Rodgers said he founded the We Are Family Foundation after the Sept. 11 attacks to create a music video featuring 100 cartoon characters of many species dancing to his song to teach children about multiculturalism. Nothing on the video refers to sexual identity. The "tolerance pledge," available on the group's Web site, is not mentioned on the video.
Rodgers said Dobson and the American Family Association might have been confused because an unrelated Web site belonging to a group called "We Are Family" is owned by a Charleston, S.C., group that supports gay youth.
Meanwhile, the Advocate interviews John Thomas, the President of the United Church of Christ on the recent God Is Still Speaking ads. Nice piece, if minor. But guys? We wish you wouldn't use the word "Crusade" in your headlines...The New Humanist offers its own appreciation of the GISS ads.

Review of Spectrum Custom Requests – Muay Thai Mash – 18 mins
This video begins with a muay thai fight that has already underway. Jade Indica and Keri Spectrum are both equipped with bikinis, boxing gloves and comically large mouthpieces. Keri is dominating the sultry Jade with punishing body blows against the wall. Jade is devastated and exhausted as Keri lays into her. Not only does Keri use punches, but she also utilizes a few kicks in the first round. She sends Jade reeling with every punch. Jade hits the mats after a particularly rough blow and Keri mounts her, delivering some ground and pound. The bell rings the end the round. Round 2 starts and Keri launching herself to Jade's corner to deliver some nasty knees to her before she can even stand up. She then throws Jade against the wall again and digs in with more punches and knees, as well as some hellacious elbows to the body and face. Jade feebly tries to defend herself, but ends up locked in a clinch where Keri is able to hit her even harder and deliver some more up close and personal knees. When the bell goes off again, this time Jade barely makes it to her corner. At the beginning of round 3 Keri gets dirty with her tactics and rips off her gloves, revealing her tapped fists. She throws Jade to the ground and takes off her gloves as well. Once mounted she hits Jade with a series of super hard elbows the body. Jade can barely stand it and is almost out at this point. She pulls Jade into a sleeper and kicks her in the stomach while holding her in the choke. She's not finished yet, however, she throws Jade into an over the knee back breaker and opens her up for even more punishing elbows and punches. Jade is KO'd at this point and Keri stands up for her victory pose. When Keri walks off the mat, Jade wakes up, slowly crawling back to her corner. She puts her gloves on, gingerly, one by one, seems somebody may want a rematch.
Talk about pure dominance, I don't think Jade even landed a single punch in this whole vid. She definitely had a never give up attitude though. She just kept getting up, ready for more, even though she was almost unconscious. Keri was more than happy the beat the fight out her though. Keri just kept bringing more and more heat, till Jade finally had no choice, but to pass out. Jade was pretty much out of it from the start of the video and I just love watching her struggle to say in the fight, trying to catch her breath in between round and failing to stop Keri's onslaught. The mouthpieces are another not worthy thing, they a so big, neither Keri nor Jade can come anywhere close to closing their mouths with this them in. I really like the mouthpieces, not only for the comedic value, but also because to could get spat out and Keri did not disappoint, near the end of the vid, Jade was finally forced to release her mouthpiece, I just love that. Overall, I love how much Jade struggled to say in this fight and how much Keri fought to put Jade out for good. Jade somehow made it back to her corner after the Keri left, I wonder what she was thinking and if her really thinks she could take more punishment.
Overall Score: 9/10

Wildgoose have announced they have signed a new licensing partnership with TeamBonding.
All posts by nick
The New York location of Brooklyn Winery, a restaurant and team building venue in Williamsburg, has been very popular since they opened in 2010. They have confirmed they will be opening in DC in 2017.
Cooking classes are a super popular idea for Team Building in NYC. It's easy to see why, you and your team learn some new skills, drink a bit of wine, and share some great homemade food!
Luckily for us, since they are so popular, there are more then a handful to choose from. From learning how to build the perfect New York Style Pizza, to an instructor that specializes in serenading your team as they cook pasta- there is something for every kind of team in the city.
Here are our Top Ten Cooking Class Picks:
All about fun! They want to make this a party- it is not just about skills, it is really about having a great time together.
Cooking by the Book look specifically at your teams needs, and not just inside the kitchen. Their focus is really on working on your teams strengths and weaknesses, helping your team become stronger and better knit.
Oh let's go Italian! These guys specialize in superb Italian food and wine, and the skills it takes to make tasty meals.
Wine, wine, and more….wine! This is a classy spot, where your team can learn about blending, tasting and wine making, while getting a bit merry with each other.
Brooklyn Kitchen is all about fresh and local. High quality, local ingredients drive this cooking course- you won't find anything else quite like this in the world!
Learn to do it like the the professionals. Institute of Culinary Education's Cooking course are super diverse, and for people who are serious about learning how to cook well.
Is your team a bit on the health conscious side? Natural Gourmet will teach you how to make wholesome, well balanced meals, and can cater to loads of dietary requirements.
8. Pizza School
New York Style Pizza is the best pizza in the world. We believe it, and so does A Casa Pizza School! They will teach you the art of dough making, topping and cooking a perfect pie.
Is your team up for some singing? The charismatic instructor Lawrence Rush creates a truly different cooking course, an evening full of music and good food, for the teams that love to be thoroughly entertained.
10. Food Fix Kitchen
For something more family and home oriented, you can either visit their kitchen in New Jersey, or they will come to you and create an easy, comfortable course for you and your staff.
There are a lot of choices, depending on the preferences and needs of your team, but either way combining some fun and finger-licking food is always a great way to bring people together!
One of the Museum Hack customers (who had a great time, but hey – we're biased) shared this information. They had asked their Lead Guide what type of team building activities could be included on the tour of the Metropolitan Museum of Art for their company.
One of our favorite team building activities is to have the guests be the tour guides for a moment – in pairs. We encourage guests to pair up with someone they don't know very well and then we send them off into a specific gallery to find something they connect with. It can be something they love, hate, feel weird about – anything. After selecting a piece, guests can research the piece using Google or the Met's catalogue, or make up a story of what's happening, or really whatever! Other less involved activity is playing Tableau Vivant (in which guests recreate a piece with their bodies).
From the department of WILD AND CRAZY ideas… One of our visitors recently suggested:
Have you ever thought about using Cards Against Humanity for a team bonding activity? I have a small media company and we recently did a little retreat. There are only 5 of us, and we were struggling with what to do. I had Cards Against Humanity, we all end up playing it, and it was pretty fun.
Cool idea! "Cards Against Humanity is a party game for horrible people." A boxed set includes 550 cards (460 White and 90 Black). Each round, one player asks a question from a Black Card, and everyone else answers with their funniest White Card.
We've had a lot of inquiries about these (Watson Scavenger Hunts in NYC) and wanted to add some more details.
- Watson Adventures team building activities can accomplish a number of things. It can foster a sense of community and togetherness amongst the employees of your company. It can also give your employees a fantastic, creative way to blow off some steam and have a good time.
- Their scavenger hunts utilize the location you wish to hold the event at, combining this with a variety of unique touches…. for example, we recently heard from a major NYC consulting company who did a hunt in Midtown for 200+ people using this method.
Other offerings from Watson Adventures:
- Grab 'n' Go Scavenger Hunts are very popular, allowing employees to enjoy all the benefits of a scavenger hunt in virtually any location imaginable.
- The Trivia Slam activity offers the same benefits as the scavenger hunt, but it is an activity that can be held in settings that do not lend themselves to the scavenger hunt concept.
This was just posted on their blog. The description of the video says:
For more information, visit http://www.MuseumHack.com/teams or email to [email protected] or call 1-800-210-9676. Considering a scavenger hunt or happy hour for your corporate team in NYC? Take a look at Museum Hack! We offer fun, exciting Museum tours as a company offsite. Some of our features include: Amazing Tour Guides, Fun Photo Challenges, and New Scavenger Hunts.
We're one of the Top 10 TripAdvisor activities in New York City and people LOVE us on Yelp. Find out why, visit our home page at http://www.MuseumHack.com/
When you want to encourage people within your company, there is absolutely nothing better than a group trip to a fabulous bar for happy hour. But when you're working in Manhattan, there are so many different bars to try, how do you know which ones are the best to go to? Never fear: we have trawled through the lists, and picked out what we think are the top five outdoor rooftop bars for company happy hours in Manhattan.
1. The Press Lounge.
The Press Lounge looks over some of the most iconic areas of Manhattan: Hell's Kitchen, Midtown, and the Hudson River can all be seen from its gorgeous rooftop. You may find it difficult to leave.
Corporate team building events can often have the reverse effect if the participants are left feeling intentionally manipulated. But Museum Hack approaches team building from an entirely different angle. This is an innovative new company that offers rather creative tours of some of New York's most impressive museums.
Rather than the usual stuffy and almost silent walking tours provided by typical tour guides, the leaders of Museum Hack offer a more unique alternative filled with sexy backstories of individual paintings and strange, behind-the-scenes behaviors of the individual painters, sculptors and artists of some of the world's most magnificent masterpieces.
The team building tours of Museum Hack:
- Encourages team communication and collaboration
- Promotes critical thinking skills through creative interaction and debate
- Expands a team's visualization techniques through the varying opinions and interpretations of art
Museum Hack can schedule a day tour or nighttime tour of the Metropolitan Museum of Art or of the Museum of Natural History, carefully customizing the individual excursion based on the specific qualities or intended team building strategies of the group. Their tour guides are funny, engaging, silly, and even downright musical at times, but the end result is always a happy team of satisfied customers who have bonded together to learn a new way at looking at any given challenge in a brand new light through the imaginative use of art.
I was reading through Offices That Work: Balancing Communication, Flexibility and Cost by Becker and Sims and thought there were some good nuggets worth sharing. These thoughts relate to team building because we're concerned with office dynamics when people show up for events.

Lo and behold as time advances her husband mainly was a con artist and he even coned me. Without my knowledge this man requested my spouse if he may borrow some money from her to search out something for the home. My fiance and his ex wife had a house collectively, in the divorce the courtroom gave her the house and said she needed to get his name removed from the mortgage. They suggest the surface remedy for rising damp and the re-plastering on inside walls using dense mixes mixed with water proofing brokers.

So what will the new Pontiac Trans Am look like? Will it have an independent rear suspension? What type of engine offerings will be made available? These questions are just a few of the many making the rounds. While most of these answers are being kept under wraps by Pontiac executives, several things are known.
For starters, Pontiac plans to launch the new 2015 Trans Am using a completely new vehicle platform. It's also been reported that Pontiac plans to take the Trans Am international, which means this platform will need to conform to international needs.

Hot hunk Samuel O'Toole has some time alone, but he has a new toy too! The fleshlight.
Sliding his cock into the soft toy, he gets into a long stroking session, pumping his long cock into it to build up a hot load.
He thrusts his cock into it, grinding his hips and feeling the pleasure building with ever stroke.
The fleshlight grips his hard cock like a warm and wet mouth, the texture inside sending waves of ecstasy through right to his balls.

No, it is not "automatic" that every undirected NPC problem is also NPC for directed, or the opposite.
You can use only what we have learnt.
why not?
undirected graph can be easily converted to a directed one - just by duplicating all the edges
notice that to prove that the undirected version is NPC you need to reduce from the directed to the undirected.
hampath and hamcycle we showed are in NPC for directed graphs or undirected graphs?
Both problems are NPC (I think we saw a proof only for the directed case).
Reduction undirected -> directed:
For each edge (v,u), we construct 2 new directed edges: (v,u) and (u,v).
Reduction directed -> undirected:
For each vertex v, we construct 3 new vertexs: Vout, Vmid, Vin. and add 2 undirected edge (Vin,Vmid) and (Vmid,Vout).
For each directed edge (v,u) we construct new edge: (Vout,Uin).
(We need the mid vertex to prevent a situation where the path goes from Vin to Uout, instead of going from Vin to Vmid to Vout)

Author Notes: This avocado coconut pie (which can easily be made vegan, by using vegan graham crackers & margarine, or raw by substituting an unbaked pistachio crust) has been a favorite of mine for the past year for its lightness, flavor, and ease. It's the avocado shake from your favorite Vietnamese restaurant, in pie form. Adapted from Vegan Yum Yum. —Nothing in the House // Emily Hilliard
Makes: 1, 9-inch pie
Graham Cracker Crust
1 1/2
cups (about 1 package) graham cracker crumbs (ground with a food processor)
cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Avocado Filling and Whipped Coconut Topping
ounces (2 cans) full-fat coconut milk (divided use)
cup sugar
cup fresh lime juice
ripe avocado, mashed
cup confectioner's sugar
kiwi or mango (optional, for garnish)
In This Recipe
Graham Cracker Crust
- 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Put graham crackers crumbs in the bowl of a food processor. Add melted butter and pulse until well mixed.
- 2. Pat the buttery crumbs into a 9-inch pie pan, pressing mixture into the bottom and sides to form a pie crust. Place in oven and bake until crust is lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Place on a cooling rack and let cool to room temperature before adding the filling.
Avocado Filling and Whipped Coconut Topping
- 1. Put 2 cans of coconut milk in the refrigerator for approximately 1 hr. Once chilled, remove one can from the fridge, open, and spoon off cream from the coconut water. Discard coconut water or save for another use.
- 2. Add sugar, lime juice, and mashed avocado to the coconut cream and mix by hand or with an electric mixer until well-combined. Pour avocado filling into baked graham cracker crust and refrigerate 1 hour or until set.
- 3. Meanwhile, remove remaining can of coconut milk from the refrigerator and spoon off the cream from the coconut water. Again, discard coconut or save for another use. Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat coconut milk with confectioner's sugar until medium peaks form. Chill cream in the fridge until pie is set.
- 4. Once pie is set, remove from fridge. Mound coconut cream atop the center of the pie, and garnish with sliced mango or kiwi, if desired. Serve cold and enjoy!

Preoperative mechanical preparation of the colon: the patient's experience
© Jung et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd. 2007
- Received: 27 February 2007
- Accepted: 04 May 2007
- Published: 04 May 2007
Preoperative mechanical bowel preparation can be questioned as standard procedure in colon surgery, based on the result from several randomised trials.
As part of a large multicenter trial, 105 patients planned for elective colon surgery for cancer, adenoma, or diverticulitis in three hospitals were asked to complete a questionnaire regarding perceived health including experience with bowel preparation. There were 39 questions, each having 3 – 10 answer alternatives, dealing with food intake, pain, discomfort, nausea/vomiting, gas distension, anxiety, tiredness, need of assistance with bowel preparation, and willingness to undergo the procedure again if necessary.
60 patients received mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) and 45 patients did not (No-MBP). In the MBP group 52% needed assistance with bowel preparation and 30% would consider undergoing the same preoperative procedure again. In the No-MBP group 65 % of the patients were positive to no bowel preparation. There was no significant difference between the two groups with respect to postoperative pain and nausea. On Day 4 (but not on Days 1 and 7 postoperatively) patients in the No-MBP group perceived more discomfort than patients in the MBP group, p = 0.02. Time to intake of fluid and solid food did not differ between the two groups. Bowel emptying occurred significantly earlier in the No-MBP group than in the MBP group, p = 0.03.
Mechanical bowel preparation is distressing for the patient and associated with a prolonged time to first bowel emptying.
- Bowel Movement
- Bowel Preparation
- Polyethylene Glycol
- Mechanical Bowel Preparation
- Anastomotic Dehiscence
Mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) has until recently been thought to be one of the most important factors to decrease infectious complications and prevent anastomotic dehiscence after elective colorectal surgery, but its value has been questioned [1, 2]. Several randomised studies [3–9] and meta-analyses [10–12] since the beginning of the 1990's have shown that omission of MBP does not increase the risk for anastomotic dehiscence or septic complications in colon surgery. In the largest, randomised multicenter trial performed we found that MBP did not lower the risk for cardiovascular, general infectious or surgical site complications [13].
The aim of this study was to compare the patients' experience and acceptance of preoperative MBP versus no preoperative MBP in elective colon surgery.
The study population was recruited from patients participating in the Swedish Mechanical Bowel Preparation Study comparing the outcome after elective open colon surgery with or without mechanical bowel preparation [13]. The study used central randomization with facsimile transmission to the randomisation centre. The allocation result was returned the same day. Stratification was made for each participating unit and the patients were randomised in blocs of permutation of four using computer generated random numbers. The participating surgeons did not know the size of the blocs. The inclusion criteria were: elective surgery for cancer, adenoma or diverticular disease, age 18–85 years, ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) Classification I-III, and life expectancy 6 months or longer.
At three units participating in the trial, patients were asked to complete a questionnaire having 39 questions, each with 3–10 answer alternatives. The questionnaire was designed using parameters previously validated to describe preoperative and postoperative experience.
The Patient's experience preoperatively.

Tolerability to bowel preparation
Four patients in the MBP group could not complete the intended MBP (two of these patients received sodium phosphate, and two polyethylene glycol). All four patients stated that the reason for not completing MBP was inability to drink the required amount of fluid. In addition, two patients mentioned nausea to be a problem.
Assistance with MBP (hospital staff or relative) was required by 30/58 (52%) of the patients in the MBP group. Sixteen per cent of patients in the MBP group reported more than 10 defecations the day before surgery.

In this study we have shown that patients prefer not to have MBP, that the time to first postoperative bowel movement is shorter without MBP, and that patients not receiving MBP experienced more discomfort on the fourth postoperative day.
The response rate to the question concerning willingness to consider the same preoperative procedure again was significantly lower in the No-MBP group compared to the MBP group, 58 Vs 95%. This most likely reflects the fact that many patients without MBP thought (correctly) that they did not receive any "preoperative procedure". However, for patients answering this question those in the MBP group were less inclined to consider the same preoperative procedure again (30% vs. 65%).
Different methods for MBP exist, of which whole bowel irrigation with oral polyethylene glycol and sodium phosphate solutions are most commonly used according to recent studies [3, 4, 8, 14]. It has been shown that the patient acceptance is greater for sodium phosphate than for polyethylene glycol [15]. However, sodium phosphate is contraindicated in patients with renal or congestive heart failure due to its influence on electrolyte- and water balance which limits its use in many elderly patients.
Patients in the No-MBP group experienced a higher degree of abdominal discomfort on the fourth postoperative day than patients in the MBP group, but without any corresponding difference in perceived pain. One possible explanation for the inter-group difference is an earlier onset of bowel motility in the No-MBP group. The majority of patients in the No-MBP group had their first bowel movement on the third or fourth postoperative day compared to more than four days in the MBP group. Early bowel movement is compatible with accelerated rehabilitation and is thus an advantage [16].
The questionnaire used was designed for this study and was not validated prior to this study. The questions addressed to the patients were however chosen based on previous research [17–21].
Besides safety and patient preference there are economic issues to be addressed when deciding whether or not to change routines in preoperative bowel preparation. Our study showed that 52% of patients receiving MBP needed help from hospital staff or a relative. For many patients this requires admission to the surgical ward early the day before surgery, thereby increasing the workload on the personnel and the cost to society.

The September issue of Gramophone is now on sale, in which we celebrate the life and legacy of Glenn Gould, a pianist whose remarkable musicianship and bold challenging of conventions caught the zeitgeist and elevated him into an iconic cultural figure of wide significance. We talk to people – including leading musicians and producers – who knew him, to find out what he was really like and why he still matters, and illustrate the feature with some fascinating archive photographs from across his career.
Also this issue we interview the British conductor Sir Simon Rattle, 10 years after taking over probably the world's leading podium position, at the mighty Berlin Philharmonic. In a major interview, we talk to the maestro about Bizet, Bruckner and jazz. Other features including a recording session from Budapest where Iván Fischer was conducting Mahler's Symphony No 1, and a conversation with cellist Natalie Clein about Bloch's Schelomo in Musician and the Score.
Plus, the month's new classical music releases are reviewed by our expert critics – including our Recording the Month, I Fagiolini's liturgical recreation '1612 Italian Vespers', released on Decca.

Today my boys headed back to school. Timmy is entering 4th grade and David is in 2nd. It amazes me how different they are from one another. I'm hoping for a wonderful year for both of them. Here are a few back to school pics:
Just for fun, here's back to school 2014: (No teeth for David!)
I don't seem to have 2012 in the same spot! Where the heck are they? Well, here's a random February of 2012:
There you go. It's crazy how they seem so much more grown up than these first pictures here, but really are still the same. I had a really weird moment when I walked into the middle school cafeteria during 5th grade lunch and realized that they all looked like Timmy. It will be really odd when he is in the grades that I teach (though I don't teach in our district.)
Happy back to school!
