Tonsil stones can make you feel like a prisoner in your own home. They are unsightly, smell awful, and have the power to completely ruin your social life. However, they need not be a life sentence. There are many ways in which to go about tonsil stones removal, both at home and through a doctor.
Manual Removal at Home
It's possible to remove small tonsil stones without having to make a doctor's appointment. All you need is a mirror, some spare time, and a relatively high tolerance for discomfort. But don't worry – the temporary pain is well worth the result.
One of the easier – and cheaper – methods of manual removal is through the use an instrument. Popular tools are clean ear buds, toothpicks and bobby pins. Simply lift the flap of the tonsil crypt, and slide the stone from its casing. This is a relatively simple procedure for the most part, but be gentle! This is because high concentrations of blood vessels in the tonsils make them prone to bleeding.
If you have small tonsil stones, another effective tool is the end of a water dropper. Place the open end of the tube over one of the stones, and squeeze rubber suction part to draw it out. This is one of the less painful methods of physical removal.If you've got too sensitive a gag reflex, it might be best to simulate one or two deep coughs into a tissue. This coughing motion can loosen the stones and dislodge them after a few attempts.
You can also scrape the stones from their crypts by chewing on, and swallowing, fibre-rich vegetables like carrots, celery and cucumber. These crunchy foods will extricate the stones, where they are then excreted through the digestive system.
Also try dissolving the stones through gargling. Saltwater gargles are particularly effective, and can also kill the bacteria that cause the stones to appear in the first place. Vinegar gargles actually dissolve the calcium that comprises tonsil stones. Both washes should be made up of lukewarm water, and used three to four times a day.
You can learn more home remedies for tonsil stones just read on this article.
Surgical Removal
If none of these methods work, and if your tonsil stones are particularly large and painful, then it might be a better idea to consult with a medical professional. Most Ear, Nose and Throat therapists are qualified to execute a range of tonsil stone removal procedures, all of them relatively simple.
A popular method is laser resurfacing – also known as a laser tonsillectomy. This procedure is carried out by administering a local anaesthetic to the tonsil area. A carbon dioxide laser will then scan the surface of the tonsils, vaporizing the surface of the tissue and shrinking any large crypts where stones may be embedded. This flattening of the crevices will not only remove the stones, but ensure that none develop for an extended period of time.
However, if your tonsil stones keep coming back, then it might be a good idea to consider a complete tonsillectomy – the removal of the tonsils. This is when the tonsils become more of a hindrance than a help to the body. Indeed, a tonsillectomy will ensure permanent relief from recurring stones.
These are a few of the strategies you can employ in the removal of your tonsil stones. Once they're gone, then adopt – and stick to – a sound oral hygiene regimen. This will safeguard your mouth from any stone-causing substances and bacteria.

I Will Marry When I Want
ngugi's I will marry when i Want is all about the political history of Kenya?
What is your opinion about this statement?
What is your opinion about this statement?
The storyline of the play centers on a peasant farmer and his wife, who are tricked into mortgaging their home and plot of land to finance a 'proper Christian wedding' by the owner of the adjacent shoe factory in order, in conjunction with a local bank manager, to allow the owner of the factory to acquire the piece of land in order to expand his business. The play also points an accusatory finger at church institutions that are complicit in facilitating the wedding arrangements and act only as a means for the oppressed workers to drown their sorrows, juxtaposing them with the local bars in which the characters spend their time. The story echoes the Biblical King Ahab, who is pressured by his wife Jezebel, to kill a vineyard owner, Naboth, and seize his vineyard.

There are some books that I wonder how I ever lived without as a child and the Mr. Magee books by Chris Van Dusen are a great example of this.
Chris Van Dusen has a knack for captivating his readers with humor and drawing them in through wonderful illustrations that make you want to keep turning the pages for more. His stories are admittedly a bit ludicrous, but kids love it, and so do I. Another of my favorite things about these books is the rhyme. Chris Van Dusen is another genius rhymer. The words almost just say themselves as you are reading these books aloud, which is my favorite way to read them.
Mr. Magee and his little dog Dee start out their day just going to do something fun as two pals, but end up going on all kinds of hairy adventures in these books. On their camping spree they encounter a bear when after accidentally leaving their marshmallow bag out. On their sea adventure they somehow end up at the top of a very tall tree on this remote island in the middle of nowhere! And their skiing adventure leaves them upside down attached to their skiis over a huge chasm. But they always manage to get the help they need and make it home safely to their quiet little house once again.
If you're looking for a perfect book for a gift, these will be a sure hit! I know your family will enjoy them over and over again! Happy Reading!

This is lovely, I have been able to spend some time in the craftroom and finish Tim's Tags for December as well as make another Christmas card, and visit my Dad and do the shopping and put some washing on and fly round with the Dyson! Hows about that then! Productive or what?
Without further ado here are my two tags:
This month I had nearly all the right stash but had to use a wooden snowflake on the first one and on the second I stamped a journal ticket from my Wendy Vecchi set and used a spellbinder poinsettia die. Tim's tattered one is on my Christmas wish list, hope Santa is listening!
I enjoyed these tags so much I had a go at doing a card using elements of each:
I used the soldier blueprint stamp again (I love him) and layered him up as per Tim's instructions, then added some of my new pot of Rockcandy glitter to the two painted snowflakes and added a tattered red gingham bow to the ticket. Think I may go on a roll with these designs, just wish the metallic stains would show more when I photograph them. It's the light, very difficult to get it right at this time of year!

Florida Orthopaedic Society 2018 Membership Renewal
It is that time of year for us to renew our commitment to our profession in Florida. To illustrate the value of membership in the FOS, I have included below our win-sheet for 2017. As you will see we have accomplished a great deal already, but with your assistance and membership we can do more.
We are already engaged in extremely important debates in Tallahassee that will impact the practice of orthopaedics. We are steadfastly defending our members against the proposed elimination of PIP and significant decreases in ASC reimbursement in Workers Compensation.
And we are on the offensive pushing for expansions in ASCs; licensure for Recovery Care Centers; restricting hospitals and insurance carriers from utilizing Maintenance of Certification against our members; mandating insurance coverage for motorcycle riders; and meaningful insurance reforms to prohibit retroactive denials and force transparency in prior authorization procedures. We are also engaged in ongoing debate over reasonable access to pain medication for our post-surgical patients.
We have an extremely large and ambitious agenda that will directly benefit all orthopaedic surgeons in the state. Join me with a small investment of resources to set the stage for success for orthopaedics in Florida.
Thank you for your ongoing support.

Essentially Fool-Proof Content Marketing Tactics from CMO Essentials
From broken boat trailers (yes, plural) in the back-woods of Maine, to a computer conking out on me only a few weeks after being issued, I've gotten pretty used to dealing with things that don't work like they're supposed to. Usually, with a little elbow grease, some ingenuity, and the occasional roll of duct tape, I can get things back on track, but needless to say, I'm more accustomed to things falling apart than coming together.
That's why when we launched our online marketing publication, CMO Essentials, for the Aberdeen Group, my aim wasn't just to get things up and running, but to build the site and our overall strategy around firm, yet fixable foundations. Today, with over 18 active guest contributors, a secure spot among the top three sources of referral traffic to Aberdeen's research content, and a steadily growing and engaged readership, I'm admittedly much less paranoid about things falling apart, but as anything that can go wrong eventually does, it still never hurts to be prepared. Keeping Murphy's Law in mind, I've outlined three of the key factors behind our own success with CMO Essentials, and how you can use them to fail-proof your own content marketing efforts.
A Clear Vision with a Measurable Path
When Maribeth Ross, Aberdeen's Chief Content Officer, deputized me to direct CMO Essentials, the goal was clear: grow Aberdeen's marketing, sales, and customer experience readership communities by creating and distributing valuable, easy-to-consume content. Along with the clear objective, we also established defined metrics for success; namely driving referral traffic, and ultimately, subscriptions to Aberdeen's research content.
As we were operating in uncharted territory without any existing data on the site to benchmark against, having both a clear vision and a measurable way to pursue it allowed us to avoid any kind of analysis paralysis, while executing on achievable, pass/fail steps. Fortunately for us, things worked out as planned, but had anything fallen through, we would've been able to quickly react and reconfigure our tactics to move forward. In general, I think the trick is to have a vision that maps out where you need to go with your content, and metrics that (like a compass) indicate whether or not you're going in the right direction.
Takeaway tip: Don't wing it. Set a written editorial calendar with specific milestone goals. Even if you can't plan every piece of content, you can plan your cadence and how many people you expect to reach. This will give you a good sense of the range of topics required to meet your goals.
Keeping It Simple
Admittedly, creating marketing content for content marketers to help them in their content marketing efforts doesn't sound all that simple—let alone tying content to sales and customer experience as well—but what makes it simple is the fact that that's what Aberdeen is all about. From the design to the strategy, the focus of CMO Essentials is to use content as a vehicle for delivering value because that's the value Aberdeen research delivers to its customers. In other words, we show what we do simply by doing what we do. Even when we branch out to feature various content forms like infographics, videos, reports, etc. we have a kind of stable rhythm and form—almost like muscle memory—that keeps everything aligned and consistent.
It's nothing all that clever, to be honest, but I think what often derails many content marketing efforts is the temptation to overcomplicate content with technologies, trends, and other forms of media that aren't aligned to the simple function of serving a target audience. If you're not confident in the simple things you do well, there's no amount of bells, whistles, fanfare or flare that can save you. Moreover, each added piece or component in your content that doesn't tie back to a solid foundation is only another variable that could potentially go wrong.
Takeaway tip: If it takes 15 slides and 30 minutes to explain your content plan, take a step back. Pick one goal to hit, identify your target audience clearly, and focus on good, quality writing. Once you have the rhythm going, then you can start to experiment with new content types.
Safety Nets in Stakeholders
In the end, though, one of the biggest reasons for our success with CMO Essentials (and my own personal hedge against things going wrong) isn't in our own content, but in the content created by our guest contributors. From a purely pragmatic standpoint, with our goal of growing our readership community, the external reach and exposure into the networks and audiences of our guest contributors directly expands our own reach, and allows us to earn net-new community members who find value in our own content.
Perhaps more importantly, though, in having active, insightful, and often entertaining content creators alongside our own content, we gain a kind of third party validation in highlighting and sharing insights from thought leaders outside of Aberdeen. Not only do our guest contributors add to our own credibility by association, they also have stakes of their own in ensuring the success of our site as the exposure we provide is beneficial for them as well.
At the heart of this strategy is something I believe to be the soul of effective content—the ability to create meaningful connections. Whether it's establishing trust, fueling emotion, or instilling a feeling of involvement or participation, good content is all about connecting to what people value most. Even in unexpected complications, unintended mistakes, or other unforeseeable mishaps, if content connects with people on the right level, it's never really wrong.
Takeaway tip: Recruit guest contributors. It's the single easiest way to generate more high quality content.

Marla,thanks for this post. I've been having about a week of the same thing. Stuck in the middle. Your post makes me feel better about posting my own difficulties on my blog. Good luck and thank you.

Marla, I'm in the same predicament. Actually, this is not uncommon, it seems.
One of the best things about blog perusing is finding that our struggles are universal. Thanks for sharing your struggles and your triumphs. I always enjoy reading about your art journey and love your work.

Marla, It's nice to know that I'm not the only one out here encountering the same concerns. I have a 4" wide shelf the length of my studio where I set unfinished paintings along with the newest completed ones. Very often I wake up in the middle of the night and find myself think about what I need to do to to fix one of them. I've been taught to do a number of composition and color thumbnails to solve the problems I might encounter throughout a painting but I still find times where I question my decision making in the middle of a work. When this happens, I take the easy way out and start thinking about starting on another one. Do you ever not finish a painting by just ignoring it or do you always come up with the answers to complete it without ruining it?
- December 11, 2012 at 8:11 AM
- JeffD said...
I have heard it said "maturity can handle ambiguity."
When paintings are in that nether region of - being between start and finish you have to hold on to the idea that you still have somewhere to go with the work.
You may not know where it will go, but you can rest in the process - while you go forward, knowing you can handle all of the possible twist and turns in the road ahead.
Even better - you don't know what will come of that work. The best is when the painting is pushed to the brink, lost and floundering and then you discover a way to revive it. That is pure joy.
If it has not been pushed you won't feel that sense of accomplishment.

Use a Brush to Fix the Flush
On occasion, a toilet's drainage stopper can have a bit of floating problem, in that it won't be totally airtight. This will make the stopper float upward, causing water to continuously drain out of the tank. Enter scrub brush to save the day (and the water bill...)!

Most economic fallacies derive from the tendency to assume that there is a fixed pie, that one party can gain only at the expense of another.
~ Milton Friedman
Economic Growth in China and the United States
I recently returned from an extended trip across various parts of China, with most of my time spent evaluating agricultural opportunities. On my return this week, a student stopped by my office to ask about the trip and the conversation turned to economic growth. Why does China's economy grow annually from 8 to 10 percent and the U.S. economy struggles to grow currently at even 2 percent?
Economic growth, or wealth creation, at its core is about increased productivity, the ability for each of us to produce more with our time. Adam Smith got at this in 1776 in The Wealth of Nations.
To take an example, therefore, the trade of the pin-maker; a workman not educated to this business, nor acquainted with the use of the machinery employed in it, could scarce, perhaps, with his utmost industry, make one pin in a day, and certainly could not make twenty. But in the way in which this business is now carried on, not only the whole work is a peculiar trade, but it is divided into a number of branches, of which the greater part are likewise peculiar trades. One man draws out the wire, another straights it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, a fifth grinds it at the top for receiving, the head; to make the head requires two or three distinct operations; to put it on is a peculiar business, to whiten the pins is another; it is even a trade by itself to put them into the paper; and the important business of making a pin is, in this manner, divided into about eighteen distinct operations, which, in some factories, are all performed by distinct hands, though in others the same man will sometimes perform two or three of them. I have seen a small manufactory of this kind where ten men only were employed, and where some of them consequently performed two or three distinct operations. But though they were very poor, and therefore but indifferently accommodated with the necessary machinery, they could, when they exerted themselves, make among them about twelve pounds of pins in a day. There are in a pound upwards of four thousand pins of a middling size. Those ten persons, therefore, could make among them upwards of forty-eight thousand pins in a day. Each person, therefore, making a tenth part of forty-eight thousand pins, might be considered as making four thousand eight hundred pins in a day. But if they had all wrought separately and independently, and without any of them having been educated to this peculiar business, they certainly could not each of them have made twenty, perhaps not one pin in a day; that is, certainly, not the two hundred and fortieth, perhaps not the four thousand eight hundredth part of what they are at present capable of performing, in consequence of a proper division and combination of their different operations….The division of labor, so far as it can be introduced, occasions, in every art, a proportionable increase of the productive powers of labor.
China's economic growth rates are high because it can adopt the pin-maker's technology, among countless others, that were developed over decades in other countries and implement them in a relatively short period of time. China's economic 'pie' continues to expand rapidly, not because wealth is somehow taken from another country, but because of rapid productivity gains.
At the heart of labor specialization is freedom for individuals to exchange. It is through exchange, individuals trading with one another, that labor specialization has continued to evolve. Labor specialization, in turn, leads to innovation. When an individual specializes in something, they develop a deeper knowledge of how to do it well and also how to improve over the course of time. This improvement, whether making pins, growing corn, or producing chicken meat, is innovation.
Why do individuals take an interest in innovation? At a basic level we like to innovate to make our lives easier, to make more money, and ultimately to save time. Time saved equals labor productivity equals wealth creation equals economic growth equals prosperity.
Today in developed countries (U.S., western Europe, Japan) the 'average' consumer spends their income in the following categories.
- 20% housing
- 18% transportation
- 16% household stuff
- 14% food, drink
- 6% healthcare
- 5% entertainment
- 4% clothing
Prior to economic opening-up, the 'average' Chinese consumer may have spent their income in a vastly different way.
- 75% food
- 10% clothing
- 5% housing
- 5% heating
- 5% light, soap
Individuals in China are in a relatively fast transition from the latter to the former. At it's core, this is what 8 to 12 percent economic growth in China for the last twenty years has been about.
Is there an inevitable end to the process? No.
While there may be an end to the process of China's transition to a modern economy at breakneck speed, the low-hanging fruit for economic growth, there is no inevitable end to the process of innovation and improvement, in China, the U.S. or anywhere else. The key element to continued innovation, however, arises from freedom of individuals to exchange. Exchange of goods and services is certainly important, but more important is the exchange of ideas. Free exchange of ideas, the intermingling of knowledge, leads to the next marginal improvement and innovation.
Why does trade between China and the United States matter, or between any countries really? It matters because it is part of the specialization, innovation, and economic growth framework. The ability of individuals from two countries to exchanges goods, services, and ideas leads to economic growth. Trade restrictions may be in the short-run interest of a particular group seeking shelter from competition as well as the politicians representing it, but are most certainly not in the interest of individual consumers and the general public. Trade restrictions are economic growth inhibitors and wealth destroyers.
Trade between China and the U.S. in 2011 was $504 billion according to the Department of Commerce. The list of goods that make up that huge number reflects the comparative advantage of each country, with China's shipments to the U.S. being dominated by goods that are produced using China's relatively less expensive labor and leading U.S. shipments being comprised of agricultural products and technology-based products. Greater specialization by producers of these goods in each country will lead to productivity gains over the course of time and subsequent wealth creation.
I've met business people from both the U.S. and China working on shipment of products, exchange of services, technology trade, and the sharing of knowledge and ideas. This is important work for individual businesses, but part of the fabric of future economic growth for both countries.

Bethesda clearly teasing Fallout 4 on Twitter
Fallout fans, you'll want to sit down. Bethesda sent out this cryptic tweet today, seemingly teasing a new Fallout title. The tweet just shows the iconic Fallout "Please Stand By" screen.
#PleaseStandBy http://t.co/ChhE4rZ9GM pic.twitter.com/3NefHBcYU7
— BethesdaGameStudios (@BethesdaStudios) June 2, 2015
Bethesda is hosting an E3 conference on Sunday, June 14th. Tons of rumors have pointed at a new Fallout game showing up at the event.
It looks like we're getting Fallout 4 folks. This couldn't be anymore on the nose than this. I suppose they could just remaster Fallout 3 for the new consoles but that would seem like an enormous tease at this point.

To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and the strength of Keflex as well as other antibacterial drugs, Keflex needs to be used only to treat infections that are proven or strongly suspected to get triggered by susceptible bacteria. When culture and susceptibility particulars can be found, these particulars is highly recommended in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. Without such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility designs often leads for the empiric selection of therapy.
Grownups and Child Patients no less than 15 years of age
The normal dose of dental Keflex is 250 mg every 6 hrs, however a serving of 500 mg every 12 hrs may be given. Treatment techniques receive for 7 to 14 days.
For further severe infections bigger doses of dental Keflex may be needed, around 4 grams daily in two to four equally divided doses.
Child Patients (over 12 several weeks old)
The recommended total daily dose of dental Keflex for child patients is 25 to 50 mg/kg succumbed equally divided doses for 7 to 14 days. In dealing with &beta-hemolytic streptococcal infections, duration having a minimum of 10 days is recommended. In severe infections, an entire daily dose of fifty to 1 hundred mg/kg may be succumbed equally divided doses.
To deal with otitis media, the recommended daily dose is 75 to 100 mg/kg succumbed equally divided doses.
Medications may be used to cope with numerous microbe infections. Medications is really a cephalosporin antibiotic. It operates by stopping the introduction of bacteria.
Medications will not use infections (for instance common cold, flu). Unnecessary use or misuse connected having a antibiotic can lead to its decreased effectiveness.
OTHER USES: For example reasons of the drug that are not listed in the approved professional labeling for your drug however that could be suggested out of your doctor. Utilize this drug for just about any condition that's listed in this only if it has been so suggested out of your doctor.
This drug doubles before dental techniques in patients with certain cardiovascular disease (for instance artificial heart valves) to help prevent serious infection in the heart (microbe endocarditis).
Using Keflex
Take medications orally as directed out of your physician, usually every six to 12 hrs without or with food.
If you use the suspension, shake the bottle just before each dose. Look at the dose carefully employing a special calculating device/spoon. Avoid using children spoon because you will possibly not have the correct dose.
The dosage is founded on your condition and response to treatment. In kids, the dose may also be based on weight.
Anti-biotics work most effectively when the amount of medicine inside you is kept in a continuing level. Therefore, take this drug at evenly spread occasions.
Still take medications prior to the full suggested amount is finished, even if signs and signs and symptoms disappear following a few days. Stopping the medication too early may allow bacteria to help keep growing, which can lead to getting back from the problem.
Tell your physician just in case your problem continues or will get worse.
Is relevant to cephalexin: dental capsule, dental powder for suspension, dental tablet, dental tablet for suspension
Furthermore towards the needed effects, some undesirable effects may be triggered by cephalexin (the ingredient present in Keflex). When these undesirable effects occur, they might need medical attention.
You can even examine along with your physician immediately if these undesirable effects occur when taking cephalexin:
More widespread
Abdominal or stomach discomfort
blistering, peeling, or assisting to release of the epidermis
clay-colored stools
dark urine
general fatigue and weakness
joint or muscle discomfort

For Medical professionals
Is relevant to cephalexin: dental capsule, dental powder for reconstitution, dental tablet, dental tablet dispersible
Cephalexin is generally well-tolerated. Large studies benefit by a general 6% incidence of undesirable effects, many of which may not be connected with cephalexin (the ingredient present in Keflex) [Ref ]
Sensitivity undesirable effects have incorporated fever, hives, rash, eosinophilia, anaphylaxis, angioedema, contact eczema, erythema multiforme, Stevens-Manley syndrome, toxic skin necrolysis, acute paronychia, and hepatitis. [Ref ]
Around 20% of patients getting a penicillin allergy may be allergic to cephalexin. [Ref ]
Intestinal undesirable effects have incorporated diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, dyspepsia, abdominal cramps, anorexia, and rectal pruritus. Diarrhea due to Clostridium difficile colitis remains reported having a couple of cephalosporins. [Ref ]
If diarrhea happens also it does not resolve with stopping in the drug and/or institution of ordinary antidiarrheal therapy, pseudomembranous colitis needs to be suspected. [Ref ]
Hepatic undesirable effects have incorporated transient elevations of liver function tests, transient hepatitis, and rare payments of cholestatic jaundice. [Ref ]
Kidney undesirable effects have rarely incorporated interstitial nephritis. Reversible fever, azotemia, pyuria and eosinophiluria will be the tips of cephalosporin-caused interstitial nephritis. Acute tubular necrosis has furthermore been reported. [Ref ]
Hematologic undesirable effects have incorporated eosinophilia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and hemolytic anemia. [Ref ]
Nervous system
Nervous system undesirable effects have incorporated lightheadedness, fatigue, headache, agitation, confusion, and hallucinations. Reversible ototoxicity and vertigo, apparently due to labyrinthine disease, are actually reported inside a few patients with kidney disease. [Ref ]
Genitourinary undesirable effects have incorporated genital pruritus, genital moniliasis, vaginitis, and vaginal discharge. [Ref ]
Soft tissue
Soft tissue undesirable effects have incorporated arthralgia, osteo-arthritis, and joint disorder. [Ref ]
Dermatologic undesirable effects have incorporated hives, rash, contact eczema, erythema multiforme, and toxic skin necrolysis. Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis remains reported.
Cephalexin, an antibiotic inside the cephalosporin family, may be used to cope with infections triggered by bacteria.
Cephalexin is suggested to cope with respiratory system system, middle ear, skin, bone, and utis
To deal with microbe infections including group A beta-hemolytic Streptococcus . Staphylococcus . Klebsiella pneumoniae . E. coli . Proteus mirabilis and Shigella . Cephalexin is principally found in susceptible skin and soft tissue infections, lower respiratory system system infections, bone (osteomyelitis) and joint infections, strep throat (streptococcal pharyngitis), ear infections (otitis media), and utis (UTIs). May be used prophylaxis against microbe endocarditis in high-risk surgical remedies or dental patients allergic to penicillin, for who pretreatment with anti-biotics is indicated. One or more study, however, found cephalexin ineffective for dental prophylaxis. Remains proficient at control over both acute and chronic sinus infections (sinus problems). Cephalexin remains effective to deal with infections associated with diverticulitis and for protection against Bladder infection following prostatectomy (prostate removal). Cephalexin isn't effective for extended-term protection against respiratory system system infections in cystic fibrosis patients. It is also not been effective to deal with Lyme disease or prevention or control over peritonitis in patients dealing with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD).
Anti-biotics come under three major classes according to their mechanism of action: cell walls, protein synthesis, or nucleic acidity synthesis. Cell wall agents attack microbe cell walls. Protein synthesis and nucleic acidity agents hinder ale bacteria to synthesize these critical factors. Cephalexin can be a cell wall agent.
Prescribing anti-biotics is considered the most difficult areas of practicing medicine. Tailoring antibiotic use for the precise organism(s) resulting in infection could be the defacto standard for treatment, but can be a task simpler theoretically. Today, preliminary laboratory identification from the organism takes no less than 24 hrs, plus a resolution which anti-biotics a full time income factor is attentive to takes a minimum of another 24 hrs. Even though some &ldquoon the area&rdquo tests are available, their sensitivity and specificity vary substantially. Most antibiotic prescribing is finished empirically based on signs and signs and symptoms, current understanding in the usual community bugs and native antibiotic resistance designs. For serious infections, initial antibiotic therapy will need to take proper care of all likely infective microbes that may be present, using broad-spectrum anti-biotics. This shotgun approach can lead to progression of antibiotic resistance in patients and across cities. MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ) is a particualr resistant organism.
Keflex is certainly an antibiotic inside the cephalosporin class. It's familiar with treat less-common infections resulting in prostatitis for instance:
Staphylococcus aureus
Coagulase-negative staphylococci
Keflex is not a great technique to the higher common causes of prostatitis for instance:
Escherichia coli
Other Enterobacteriaceae spp. for instance Klebsiella pneumonia, Enterobacter cloacae . and Serratia marcenscens
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
How Should Keflex Be Applied?
Keflex will come in the following formulations:
Tablet usually taken 2 or 4 occasions every day and may be ingested whole
Capsule, that's taken as being a tablet
Liquid, which must shaken just before use to actually obtain uniform distribution of drugs.
Other Uses Of Keflex
Furthermore to taking Keflex for prostatitis, Keflex may also be familiar with treat the following conditions:
Cellulitus or skin condition
Skin abscesses
Joint infections
Strep throat each time a patient is allergic along with other anti-biotics
Must i Follow Special Safeguards?
Patients by getting an allergic reaction or previous reaction to Keflex or other cephalosporin drugs should not take Keflex. Have you ever had answer another cephalosporin drug or possibly a penicillin, you need to give your physician know. Good good examples of other cephalosporin drugs include:
Duricef (cefadroxil)
Ceclor (cefaclor)
Omnicef (cefdinir)
Maxipime (cefepime)
Make sure that you simply tell your physician about almost every other medications you may be taking. Keflex is not ideal for dealing with prostatitis if you are taking certain drugs for instance metformin or Coumadin (warfarin). Mixing metformin with Keflex lessens the excretion of metformin and requires close monitoring of kidney function. Mixing anticoagulants like Coumadin with Keflex might increase the anticoagulant aftereffect of Coumadin while growing possibility of bleeding.
Must i Have a Special Diet When Taking Keflex?
Keflex could cause an heartburn, so it must be taken with food plus a glass water.
Let us Say I Forget an amount?
In the event you forget an amount when taking Keflex, proceed and take skipped dose as rapidly as you possibly can. If you are near the next dose don't double dose and keep on the conventional dosing schedule prior to the entire antibiotic is completed. Cefalexin operates by disturbing ale bacteria to produce cell walls. The cell walls of bacteria are crucial for survival. They keep undesirable substances from entering their cells and stop the products within their cells from seeping out. Cefalexin impairs the bonds which contain the microbe cell wall together. This allows holes to appear inside the cell walls and kills the bacteria.

The erection and maintenance of the principal shrine of our national soldiers was started in the autumn of 1915 when the German army stood on the outskirts of Riga. It was a time of disturbance when thousands of volunteers joined the battalions of the Latvian Riflemen and our first army units went to the front.
The 1st Daugavgriva Battalion of the Latvian Riflemen was the first to go the front to the fight against the Germans. In the evening of 9 October 12 officers, 819 petty officers and riflemen with four machine guns and 40 horses left the barracks and headed towards the unknown. The Battalion squadrons were seconded to the 12th Siberian Infantry Division and commanded by General Egert.
On 12 October the 2nd Riflemen Squadron which withstood the main attack lost two members: rifleman Jekabs Voldemars Timma son of Janis, and rifleman Andrejs Sturis son of Juris, during the skirmish on that day. The riflemen came under brief fire from German scouts at about 8 p.m. later that day, and rifleman Jons Gavenas son of Jons, of the 2nd Riflemen Squadron, fell during it.
The first three fallen soldiers of the Latvian Riflemen were awarded Grade 4 Cross of St. George and the rank of lance corporal posthumously.
The fallen soldiers were transferred in a sanitary division car to the Riga Latvian Society House where an army evacuation point was situated then.
The funeral was organized by the organising committee of the Latvian Riflemen Battalions who made sure that lots for the graves of the first three fallen heroes were allotted at Keizarmezs. Thus the foundations for our nation's sanctuary, the Riga Brethren Cemetery, were laid.
Although 15 October was a working day (Thursday), J.V. Timma, A. Sture, and J. Gavens were followed to the grave by thousands of people. It was one of the largest manifestations in the history of our nation. The first fallen soldiers were followed to the grave by both residents of Riga and many refugees from the regions of Kurzeme and Zemgale. People were invited to the funeral ceremony which began at the Latvian Society House by Riga newspapers. The soldiers were laid to rest by a tripe rifle salute given by their brothers in arms from the military training team at the cemetery.
After the speech Captain R. Bangerskis laid a wreath on the grave with the inscription 'Motherland is facing times of hardship, sons must help it now.' The wreath laid by the brothers in arms of the fallen soldiers had remarkable words written on it: 'The thinner our lines become, the closer we shall gather round the flag'.
Compared to the victims of several wars, Latvian Riflemen killed during the fights from 1915 to 1917, more than 870 soldiers in total, account for the largest part of those buried at the Riga Brethren Cemetery followed, in chronological order, by the soldiers of our army who fell during the Latvian Independence Fights in 1919 – 1920, veterans of the fights who died in the period between the wars, victims of World War II, etc.
During the combat operations at the Riga Front in 1915 – 1917, the fighters of the Latvian battalions and regiments sustained their major losses during attacks undertaken by them. In these circumstances transferring a large number of fallen soldiers to Riga was impossible for practical purposes. Therefore the Latvian Riflemen made a field of war cemetery for their fallen comrades not far away from the battle site. Brethren cemeteries were made at Sloka and Kemeri in October – November 1915. Several graves of the soldiers were made in the parishes of Kekava and Ikskile in March – July 1916.
As the battles of the Latvian Riflemen reached their culmination, field cemeteries for the fallen soldiers were made near Lozmetejkalns, Kalnciems and in Tirelpurvs in late December of 1916 and in January 1917. A significant number of the Latvian Riflemen who fell during this stage of the battles, a total of 319 soldiers, 13 of which are unknown soldiers, were also buried at the Riga Brethren Cemetery.
As to the progress of the funeral ceremony at the Riga Brethren Cemetery, the commander of the respective battalion or regiment asked the organising committee of the Latvian Riflemen Battalions in writing to arrange for the burial of the fallen soldier and to cover the costs associated with it. Some questions – digging the grave, arranging for an honour guard, carrying the coffin, and a triple rifle farewell salute – remained the responsibility of the military unit. The committee carried out the rest of the activities required in Riga: placed an ad in Latvian-language newspapers, bought a coffin and a cross, arranged for the clergyman and musical accompaniment (a choir and an orchestra), completed various other formalities (correspondence with relatives and the riflemen unit, conduct of the procedure of the ceremony, hired a photographer etc.). All of these works were supervised by Fricis Kumins, an employee hired by the Committee, throughout the war. A farewell speech was always made by a member of the Committee management, together with the commander of the unit, at the funeral of any soldier. The clerical duties were performed by pastors of the Lutheran and the Orthodox Churches. The religious affiliation of every fallen soldier was observed strictly: Osman Ahmet Sofina, a rifleman of the 2nd Riga Regiment of the Latvian Riflemen, who was a Muslim and had fell in the military positions of 29 July 1917, was buried at the Riga Brethren Cemetery on the same day. Soldiers of other nationalities who had fought in the military units of the Latvian Riflemen – Estonians (F. Kurkus, L. Luik, E. Oots, M. Voip), Lithuanians (J. Gavenas, A. Mazuhno), Russians (J. Asiutin, N. Lopatin) and a Pole (B. Przeczewski) – have also been buried at the cemetery. The youngest known soldiers buried at the cemetery are Vilis Grinbergs (15 years old) and Emils Stamguts (16 years old), riflemen of the 5th Zemgale Battalion of the Latvian Riflemen.
Upon request by the relatives, the organising committee of the Latvian Riflemen Battalions organised the reburial of a number of fallen soldiers – K. Avotins., T. Avotins, K. Betmanis, A. Braunfelds, M. Feters, H. Krasts, J. Krastins, K. Meijers, A. Muzikants, J. Osis, K. Pravests, R. Reitmanis, E. Runga, F. Steimanis, E. Steinerts, M. Svarcs, V. Veilands, J. Zeibots, J. Zemanis and J. Ziedins – from different battlefield cemeteries at the Riga Brethren Cemetery. Cast-iron crosses were placed on the graves of the first three fallen riflemen in October 1915. The committee made this process uniform later on by using white wooden crosses of the same shape, with inscriptions in Latvian. The Latvian Riflemen got involved in the improvement of the territory of the cemetery in 1916. The entire nation took care of and arranged the shrine of their soldiers. At the end of World War I the Riga Brethren Cemetery, with its rows of white crosses and the simple Latvian design, left a lasting impression on any person.

Compliance Package (BLCP)™
We provide you with all the licensing requirements and forms.
We prepare all your licensing paperwork, and deliver it to you signature-ready.
We obtain for you ALL required licenses.
If you plan to start a business in agriculture, you'll be delving into all manner of subjects; from dealing with animals and husbandry to finding the best way to grow healthy plants using cutting-edge technology.
Whatever agriculture business you start, know that there are some pretty heavy business licenses, permits & tax regulations for much of what you'll do, and that you'll need to have at least one agricultural license to ensure that you're compliant with state and federal requirements.
Examples of Agricultural Licenses
For example, if you sell organic produce, you have to have an agricultural permit that says your product meets the standards the USDA has set forth for what constitutes as organic food. If you want to sell seeds, you need a Seed Dealer Business License that allows you to import and export seeds across state or country lines.
If you want to work as a Weights and Measures inspector, while that might not seem to fall under agribusiness, you'll need to take an exam and get a Weights and Measures license to work in the field. Other agriculture licenses include:
- Agricultural Business
- Animal Dealer
- Commercial Feed License
- Fertilizer License
- Food Stamp/SNAP Program License
- Nursery-Plant Dealer License
- Seed Dealer License
- Weights and Measures
The list goes on, but the point is: know what business licenses you will be required to have for the type of business you want to form. Apply for the business licenses and get approved before you start operations.
Why You Need an Agricultural Permit
There's a reason we have rules, regulations, licenses, and permits: they provide consistency in what businesses like yours deliver. For example, if you cure bacon, your customers want to be assured that you've followed federal guidelines to ensure that the food is safe and sanitary. Wouldn't you want the same as a customer?
Many vendors and business partners won't even work with you if you don't have the appropriate agricultural license, and without one, you may be fined by your local business licensing agency. Your best bet is to explore this section to determine which agricultural licenses you need to start your business, then find out from the Department of Agriculture what you need to do to apply for the agricultural permits in your area.
Use this agricultural business guide to find out what you need to know about applying for agricultural licenses and permits before you start running your business.

But just how bad is this food? Can you even call it food? In one famous experiment, a New York City artist purchased a happy meal from McDonald's and took photos of it every day. By day 137, the plain hamburger and fries looked nearly identical to the way they looked on the first day. How many preservatives do you think are in that food so that it shows no signs of decay after more than four months? Are you putting all those chemicals in your body or your children's bodies? Of course, you can do as one popular fast food chain says and "have it your way". But is that really your way?
Real food has a short lifespan. Natural food will not look the same even one day later, much less 137 days later. It if was once living it will decay.
If you think you're safe from the chemical overload when you order from the light menu, think again. Even the so-called healthier meals at these places are loaded with salt, sugar, and fat. Certain menu items may indeed be lower in fat but they are still pumped with preservatives to help prolong their shelf life and reduce the company's overhead. Fast food is indeed cheaper than buying fresh food at the store. That's because the food they sell bears little resemblance to what you would buy in the grocery store. If you're often in a hurry, look into meal planning like our Menu-Mailers and freezer cooking. If you're on a budget, clip coupons and scour sales flyers.
Think about it: one fast food meal usually contains more sodium, fat, and calories than you should consume throughout an entire day. YIKES! It's also full of unnatural chemicals that your body doesn't recognize and doesn't know what to do with. DOUBLE YIKES! Is it really worth saving a little bit of time and money tonight if it means shortening your life in the long run? You still "lovin' it"?

Amazing!!!!!! We had the best time!!!!
Great Trip!! Everyone was amazing. 1st class experience.
- Kevin
Captain Chris and Captain Dave were exceptional and I enjoyed the day with them even though we didn't catch anything. They made every effort to entice a strike by constantly changing lures, presentations and types of fishing and I appreciate that. They were very knowledgeable and friendly. The boat itself was very comfortable and simply exceptional. It was very nice to have food and beverages provided by the boat which was very good (and it saved me from getting something from the hotel with a cooler etc). I will be planning to book another trip on Excellence when we return to Maui next year.
- Doug
The experience was outstanding. Chris and Dave work very hard to make sure that all of the details are covered to give my family a nice treat right before Christmas. The weather this week has been challenging as well as the fishing, but I will go fishing on this boat again on our next trip to Maui.
- Joshua
What a great day. Capt. Chris and Capt. Dave are really nice guys and very knowledgeable. They were great with my wife and two sons and the boat was in super condition. I have been sport fishing my whole life and i have chartered boats all over the world and this was one of the best experiences. We caught a blue marlin which made the day even better. Book them if you want a great experience.

text: Hello all. I noticed a post recently regarding this issue, which I also had on my S4. It appears though the bulb holders were getting embrittled whether it be through heat or age I don;t know however one of my sidelights couldn't sit in the holder as it had cracked and broken. MOT time is coming up so I decided to take a punt and bought two of the A4 bulb holders from the local dealer to see if they fit. Luckily they did and it is an easy repair. See photos below: 1 - What the good bulb holder should look like 2 - What the damaged one looked like 3 - What the new holders look like and part no 4 - The heat shrinkable crimp connectors I used (hey, I was going for quick and easy. Obviously you can solder and heatshrink something much neater) 5 - I have used these crimps before and they have a glue type stuff inside the shroud part which gives a good seal onto the wire insulation as can be seen here 6 - Crimped and shrunk on the bulb side, basically saving time as it was freeeezing outside and nice and cosy inside. 7 - How it looks when fitted but before dressing wires into the housing. I just snipped off the old connectors then crimped on. Take note, it is easier to disconnect the full beam connector too as it gives you more slack on the tails. 8 - You then end up with a bulb holder for the wedge type sidelight bulbs (i think are they W5W?) and there are a decent selection of standard or LED bulbs you can use. That's all folks. Pretty easy and much much better than buying a new headlight unit!

Were going to
take a vacation, Velma, Redd laughed wickedly, were going to
take you to your place of execution. Sound like fun?
sick! You two have sick minds! Velma screamed out at them, as they
were dragging her away from the burning house.
up! Redd yelled. Then he and Bill shoved her in the back of the
The two of them ran to
the front doors of the van, climbed in, and slammed the doors shut.
How could either of
you do this! Velma yelled at them through tears.
Shut up! Redd
yelled again, turning around and pointing the same gun at her.
Velmas eyes
narrowed on the object being pointed at her. She suddenly became
quiet, tears still streaming down her face.
After what seemed like
an eternity, Redd finally turned around and unarmed the gun.
Velma sat back and
cried silently. Her ribs still hurt unbearably, and she couldnt
stop thinking about what would happen if her friends never found her.
Redd and Bill had
dragged Velma outside. I wonder what theyll do to me now,
Velma thought. She shuddered at the possibilities that her
imagination had started to come up with. Velma tried to erase those
thoughts from her mind.
Mystery Machine was parked down at the bottom of the mountain side.
The four of them got out and looked up at the early morning sky.
I think its a
fire, Fred said solemnly, hoping Velma wasnt in it.
Fred could tell that
Shaggy, Daphne, and Scooby were thinking the same thing, just by
reading the expressions on their faces.
Fred and Shaggy
started to make their way up the dirt path towards the burning house,
when Scooby and Daphne pulled them back from the trail.
What do you think
youre doing! Daphne exclaimed.
Were, like,
going to see if Velmas up there, Shaggy replied.
Do you two ever
think? The smallest spark or flame can set this whole place up in
flames! Daphne yelled.
Well, like, Daphne,
how do you expect us to find Velma or any other clue if we dont go
up and look? Shaggy protested.
Fred reached into his
pocket and answered his cell phone.
Jones here, Fred
Hey, Freddy!
Havent heard from you in a long time, Redd replied.
Hello, Redd,
Fred said calmly through gritted teeth.
Daphne, Shaggy, and
Scooby listened in at the sound of Redds name.
Wheres Velma?
Fred demanded.
Well, we certainly
dont beat around the bush, do we? Redd answered sarcastically.
Wheres Velma?
Fred asked again.
Fred, you dont
seem to have any manners, do you? Redd replied, still not
answering the mind-boggling question. Ill tell you if you ask
Fred paused for a
moment to try and calm down before he asked the question for the
third time. Would you please tell me where Velma is? he asked,
trying to hold back his anger.
Mountains, about 3
miles north. Dress warmly, was all Redd said before he hung up.
Were supposed to
go 3 miles north, Fred told the three behind him.
The four of them
hurried to the Mystery Machine, wanting to get to Velma as fast as
possible. God, I hope Velmas okay, Shaggy thought to
himself. I swear if he hurts her

Penguins Roundup: Injured Players Practiceby Michelle Crechiolo / Pittsburgh Penguins
After two days away from the ice, the Penguins returned to practice on Saturday at CONSOL Energy Center with three new additions – as defenseman Paul Martin (broken tibia) and forwards Jayson Megna (lower body) and Chuck Kobasew (lower body) rejoined their teammates for the first time since sustaining their respective injuries.
Winger James Neal, who missed Wednesday's game against Washington with an upper-body injury, also participated in the practice.
"It's a good break for us. I missed the last game so it was a good couple days for me to get better," he said. "I feel good now and I got a good couple practice days here to get ready for Monday."
And not only did all of those guys practice, they all resumed regular roles in terms of linemates/D partners and special teams situations – which had a chain reaction on the lineup in terms of getting everybody back into their usual spots and is a good sign that it may be getting back to normal soon.
"It's nice to see injured guys come back," captain Sidney Crosby said. "You know how hard it is for them to rehab and get back into it. I think you're excited for them. Obviously the more you see of that - guys coming back - the more excited everyone gets. It's a good group and it's good to see that guys are getting better."
Pittsburgh's current stretch of one game in eight days has been hugely beneficial to those injured players. After having productive sessions with strength and conditioning coach Mike Kadar all this week, they now get two full days of practice with the team to help them get ready for a return – all without having to worry about missing a big chunk of games.
"Yeah, typically you don't get this," Martin said. "You're playing every other day and you don't get a lot of good practices in. So a couple days of things to work on and change up a couple things I think is good to get back in the swing of things before you start playing some more games."
While coach Dan Bylsma had no injury updates following the practice and none of the players would commit to a return on Monday against the Florida Panthers, they all felt optimistic about how their returns to practice went and would re-evaluate where they were after tomorrow's skate.
"Obviously I'd like to play Monday, but I want to get a couple practices under my belt and see how it feels after tomorrow and probably go from there," Martin said.
"I don't want to make any speculations, but I feel good," Megna said. "It's up to the coaching staff and the training staff whether they clear me or not. Today, first full day of practice, I felt really good. I felt like I was skating well out there, so I'm optimistic."
"I have to see how tomorrow goes, to be honest," Kobasew said. "Today went well and we'll see what practice brings tomorrow."Here are the lines and D-pairings the Penguins used during their 90-minute practice,their longest of the season to date…
First PP unit: Letang, Malkin, Crosby, Kunitz, Neal.
Second PP unit: Martin, Niskanen, Jokinen, Sutter, Pyatt.
Martin has been out the longest of all the injured guys, missing 23 games with a fractured tibia he sustained blocking a shot on Nov. 25 against Boston.
"It's been a while," the 32-year-old defenseman said wryly. "I felt good, actually. Timing, stuff like that was a little bit off, but as far as the injury and being back out there everything felt great."
Martin resumed his regular roles at Saturday's practice, skating with usual D partner Brooks Orpik on the top pairing and practicing on the second power-play unit – both good indications for a return sooner rather than later, perhaps even as early as Monday.
"Obviously I'd like to play Monday, but I want to get a couple practices under my belt and see how it feels after tomorrow and probably go from there," Martin said.
Of course every injured player wants to return as quickly as possible, but Martin has added motivation to get back in and get back into form as he was chosen to represent the United States at the 2014 Winter Olympics.
Team USA begins preliminary round action on Feb. 13 vs. Slovakia, and Martin conceded it would be ideal to play as many games as possible in (the Penguins have 10 left) before the Olympic break.
"Definitely," he said. "I'm not quite sure how many are left, but a couple
(games) at the end of this month and the beginning of February would be nice
to get ready for that and get back on the ice here, too."
Megna was injured back on Dec. 16 vs. Toronto when he was upended after colliding with Leafs goalie Jonathan Bernier as they raced for a loose puck.
"I guess it's just really a hockey play," said Megna, who's missed 13 games. "It's something where I blocked a shot and it was just a race for the puck and credit to him, he made a smart play coming out and it was just unfortunate I went down and ended up missing five weeks. Obviously a little bitter about it, but it's just one of those plays where it ended up working well for them and not so much for me."
Megna has skated in the top six on a line with Malkin and Neal before, but today marked the first time the 23-year-old rookie – who has four goals in 15 games with Pittsburgh this season – was slotted in with Kunitz and Crosby.
"(Brian Gibbons) was doing a great job on that line, but unfortunately he went down with an injury too," Megna said. "It's just a whoever is ready and ready to go and healthy and slot in and try to take on that role, especially one as important as playing on a line with those guys."
Megna's biggest asset is his speed and it's what Bylsma wants to see from him on that line.
"His speed that he played with in practice today is evident right from the start," Bylsma said. "There's speed in his game, (attacking) down the wing, it's tough to handle. There was one particular play where Sid was going through the middle of the ice and dished it wide to him with speed and he drove the net hard. That's an element that when he was a factor in maybe his best game in Carolina, it was speed every shift.
"He's coming back from being out a while. So for your first day back, to be on the right wing with Sidney Crosby, we may see other people be there as well. But he adds that speed and can add that. He's also a guy you can't deny has bumped into points when he's gotten the opportunity. He's gotten some goals, made some plays and there's something to be said for that in addition to the speed that he brings."
Kobasew has missed the last six games with a lower-body injury. Unfortunately this isn't the first time he's had to rehab this season, as he missed 17 games from Oct. 30-Dec. 3 also with a lower-body injury.
"I'm sure I can speak for anyone who's out of the lineup at any time – you know you don't want to be out at any time, you want to be in and helping out and contributing and being a part of the team," he said. "When those things do happen, you have to do what you need to do off the ice and stay in shape so when your opportunity comes to get back on the ice with the team, you're ready."

Sunday's game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Dallas Mavericks at Staples Center could very well be a first round playoff preview. If so, one very important component wasn't participating.
Lakers guard Kobe Bryant was out of the lineup for Los Angeles' 112-108 victory as he continues recovering from tenosynovitis, or inflammation, in his left shin.
"It's feeling a lot better," Bryant told ABC sideline reporter Heather Cox during the first half of Sunday's game when asked about his left shin.
The Lakers have five games remaining in the regular season before the postseason begins and Bryant said he will be on the floor for some of them.
"I'll definitely be back well before the playoffs," Bryant said. "It's important to kind of get a rhythm and try to get things in sync a little bit and find a little groove."
Lakers coach Mike Brown said before Sunday's game that there is some benefit to Bryant being forced to miss time.
"Hopefully it helps him going into the playoffs a lot fresher, a lot more energized," Brown said. "We played him a lot of minutes this year and the season was shortened and he played obviously a lot of games, so come playoff time, hopefully the rest right now will re-energize him and get his juices flowing for a long playoff run."
Bryant said he would be playing Sunday if it was a playoff game, but detailed just how much pain he was in during the four games he played with the shin injury before deciding to sit out.
"I played with it for like a week and a half and the problem wasn't the first two quarters, it was the last (two), the third and the fourth," Bryant said. "I literally had a hard time walking."
The 16-year veteran missed his fifth straight game, but after a rocky start the Lakers have recovered nicely, winning four straight, including Sunday's home win over Dallas.
Success without Bryant has been helpful, Brown said, but ultimately the focus remains on getting his two-time NBA Finals MVP healthy for the postseason.
"(Winning) doesn't put as much pressure on us to try and get him back, but in the same breath, we've obviously made the playoffs," he said. "So if it were a case where he needed to come back and it had something to do with him not being as healthy going into the playoffs, even if we took it on the chin a couple of times we'd still sit him out."
Averaging 28.1 points per game, Bryant remains the leading scorer in the NBA. In his absence, the Lakers have seen increased production from Metta World Peace, averaging 16.75 points over his past four games, more than doubling his season average. Reserve small forward Matt Barnes, averaging 7.6 points per game, scored 24 in Friday's win.
Perhaps most important has been the team's improvement defensively. The Lakers have held their past three opponents under 100 points, the first such streak since a nine-game stretch between Jan. 31-Feb. 17.
Brown, who missed Friday's win, wouldn't elaborate on his absence.
"It's a personal family matter," he said, "and I'm going to leave it at that."
World Peace believes winning Friday without Bryant or Brown available is a positive sign.
"It says a lot about the staff, the organization, the players. We beat a good team (Friday), I think," he said. "Denver's been winning a lot of games. Even when we had adversity yesterday, all our turnovers (23 in total), we still kept our tempo. We still stayed poised and patient. That says a lot about us."
Not surprisingly, Brown took the opportunity to praise his staff, starting with lead assistant John Kuester, who coached the Lakers against Denver.
"I feel like I got four guys on my staff capable of being head coaches next year, with Darvin (Ham) on his way. So whether I'm here or somebody else is here or not, the staff that I have is terrific. Obviously, last night was a great time to show how great our staff is," he said. "You take that into account with how mature and intelligent these players are with Kobe's leadership, and it makes for an easy transition or smooth sailing whenever you face anything that's a little different than the norm."
Bryant has taken an active role on the sidelines, operating in many ways as an extra assistant for Brown.
"He's just so intelligent. He's got such a great feel for the game that whether he's talking to me or talking to somebody else or one of our players, he helps out a lot. The stuff that he says, in my opinion, is highly valuable," Brown said.
Still, Brown didn't seem to think a head-coaching gig was in Bryant's near future.
"Usually, when you have a great player like Kobe, where things mentally and physically, although he works his tail, it comes easier to him than others. At times, greatness can't understand why others don't get it as easily as he may," he said. "I think that would be his biggest hurdle. If he could deal with that, then he'd have a lot to offer to the coaching world."
Sunday marked the 100th missed game on Bryant's career, as he's played in 1,159 out of a possible 1,259 games in his 16 seasons.

|Couldn't find a similar problem listed, so I'll ask the experts. Car in question: 62 New Yorker, 413, torqueflight.
After car sat for a week, my dad backed the car up the driveway and into the street. Pressed drive button to go forward, but trans remained in reverse. He said there was no "click" (the usual sound at the buttons) when attempting to put into drive. He pressed reverse, neutral, drive - still stayed in reverse. He pressed low and it then "clicked" and shifted into low gear. He was then able to place in drive and then he and mom drove to church. After church, reverse and drive acted normally, and they drove ~10 miles around town with no issues before going home. All is good again.
From what I know there are the button mechanism, cable, and trans shifting mechanism components. My limited knowledge says to investigate the button mechanism first. First chance I get I'll remove it, check for binding/friction, lubricate, and put back together. Thoughts?
For what it's worth: this car sat 20 years untouched in a museum until 2 years ago before I made it road worthy again. I did not touch the trans other than adding ~ 1/2 quart of tranny fluid. The car had <400 miles since recommissioning (short city driving trips) until last weekend when I took them to a car show in it (120 miles round trip on interstate - furthest it's been from home). It performed flawlessly. No telling what condition the fluid is in and whether it has an effect on the trans shifting mechanism. By the way, we were given a plaque for
being selected one of the top three cars!

|If this car has been sitting around for as long as you imply, I would attribute this hickup to that. Have you been able to replicate the problem? When the car is sitting in the garage, engine off, can you go through the buttons and feel them click into place? If they do then I would suspect the problem is further down the cable. The shift mechanism is pretty basic.
I suggest they drive it a little more often to shake the bugs out. Winters a comin'.

|Most probably there's nothing wrong with the push button unit. One cable goes from the push button unit to the transmission - it seems that the cable got stuck in it's housing. Check the cable housing down on the transmission - sometimes the rubber is cracked and foregin particles might enter (also transmission fluid might leak).

My Troubleshooting & Maintaining Your PC All-in-one Desktop Reference For Dummies is not only my longest titled title, and one of the most popular, but it was getting old. I've recently updated the book to cover Windows 10, and it is now available in those few bookstores that still exist.
The old Troubleshooting book was really popular. I remember walking away from a Library and seeing a guy carry off the book. It was the second time he checked it out. That's really cool (though it's better if you just buy the book – hint, hint).
The old book, actually the 2nd edition, covered Windows XP through Windows 7. I'm glad that publisher didn't want me to cover Windows 8, which was awful and let's all forget about that episode, but they did express interest in covering Windows 10.
It's a good thing that the book is updated because Windows 10 offers plenty of great troubleshooting features. Microsoft also removed some conflicting tools and consolidated some features, which helps with the troubleshooting task.
The new book isn't as thick as the old one, mostly because I pulled out all the material on Windows XP and Windows Vista. It still has some Windows 7 material in it, but the main focus is on Windows 10. Therefore, the new book is a lot thinner than the old one: 438 pages versus 768 pages. Also, I didn't do any updated videos for the book. Oddly, the publisher has pulled the videos, which are no longer available on their website.
This title is my 161st book. The Android "O" update to my Android books is coming soon. They still don't know whether the "O" is "Oreo," and my two Android books are being combined into a single title, which makes sense. That book will most likely be out in the late fall.
I might also be doing a new programming book. I'll keep you abreast of the details as things develop.

Church welcomes action plan to tackle funeral poverty
Published on 8 August, 2017
The Church of Scotland has welcomed the Scottish Government's announcement of a 10-point plan to tackle funeral poverty.
The plan will create a funeral expense assistance benefit and a social innovation fund to help people in poverty cover funeral expenses, as well as creating opportunities for people to save for their funerals, according to the announcement from Angela Constance, the Scottish Government's Equalities Secretary.
Rev Dr Martin Johnstone, Secretary of the Church of Scotland's Church & Society Council, said:
"The Church of Scotland warmly welcomes the 10-point plan set out by the Scottish Government.
"Over recent years we have consistently spoken out against the growing scandal of funeral poverty. Every week, ministers in all parts of Scotland spend time with families who are not only grieving the death of a person that they love but are also worried about how they will pay the funeral costs.
"It is unacceptable that families are being forced in to debt by the rising cost of funerals – a cost for which many local authorities and funeral directors must take responsibility.
"We renew our call to the Scottish and Westminster Governments to ensure that the funding available allows those experiencing funeral poverty to receive support at a level sufficient to make a real difference.
"We invite the Scottish government to make a determined effort to ensure that the postcode lottery of burial and cremation charges ends and that charges are set at a level that enables a service to be provided without crippling those experiencing poverty at a most difficult time in their life.
"We welcome the steps which the Scottish Government have announced today and will continue to work with them to end funeral poverty."
10-point action plan
The announcement gave details of 10 actions to be taken:
- Launch a new Funeral Expense Assistance benefit, by summer 2019
- Publish guidance on funeral costs, by December 2018
- Improve advice on funeral planning, help following a bereavement and support after a funeral
- Publish funeral planning guidance to help people think about and record plans for their funeral
- Strengthen consumer protection in relation to funeral plans
- Support discussion of bereavement, death, dying and care at the end of life
- Highlight products from credit unions, including those specifically for funerals
- Deliver a Social Innovation Fund to help tackle disadvantage such as funeral poverty
- Give people more options to save for their funeral, through a funeral bond pilot
- Improve the evidence base to assess the effectiveness of our actions
Funeral benefit
Ms Constance said:
"The death of a loved one is an incredibly difficult time for anyone. It can be even harder when money is tight. We know funeral costs can push people into poverty – and often it is those already in financial hardship who face increased difficulties.
"That is why we are taking decisive action to tackle this growing issue and have engaged with local authorities, the funeral sector and other support services. I am pleased by the willingness to work together to find solutions that support more affordable funerals.
"The Scottish Government is committed to supporting those who need it most following a bereavement, which is why we will introduce a new Funeral Expense Assistance from summer 2019."
Church of Scotland ministers do not charge to conduct funerals although there are often charges for use of the building and for an organist.
Rev Bryan Kerr,minister of Greyfriars Church in Lanark, has been working to help bring about policy changes as the Church of Scotland's representative on the Scottish Working Group on Funeral Poverty, the Funeral Poverty Alliance and the Scottish Government Working Group on Funeral Poverty and Social Security Funeral Payment.

When preparing for the JLPT, one of the biggest problems learners face is the large amount of Japanese vocabulary. If you live in Japan or at least get enough Japanese input then the listening section of the exam is easy enough. You can cram on the grammar and learning kanji intelligently will greatly ease your pain. With vocabulary though, there's no getting around it. You have to expose yourself to the language and put in enough time to learn it.

Something that made me smile
I was sent this picture last week. It made me smile so I thought I'd share it on here as I am sure there are a few people out there who will appreciate it too.

Kinda reminds me of people who threaten to write negative reviews on Yelp if they don't get a comp on something.
Should bloggers follow the same ethics as paid restaurant reviewers?
