Today is day 4 featuring bands I consider exceptional, that defined music for our generation and yet didn't gain the recognition they deserved in the US.
When you think of 70's music what stars come to mind? Mick Jagger? Bruce Springsteen? John Lennon?
Sure, everyone knows these names. Everyone knows how much they contributed to the music world. I'll go so far to say that everyone loved these folks.
If I was to throw out some other names I think had just as much effect on the music world of the 70's like Klaus Doldinger, Curt Cress or Wolfgang Schmid would you agree?
I bet you have never even heard of these names.
That's tragic because these guys were the genius behind a band called Passport, a band you definitely need to know about.
I have 15 of their albums (I told you I liked them) and, even though there are 4 or 5 that dominate my play list, they are all incredible examples of the jazz/fusion/rock music genre that was birthed in the 70's.
I will apologize up front for today's blog. If it gets a little long winded it just indicates my passion for the talents of this band.
Doldinger's recurring jazz project called "Klaus Doldinger's Passport", was formally launched in 1971.
In its influence, Passport has been called the European version of the band Weather Report. Great comparison but the praise doesn't go far enough.
I believe Passport went deeper than any band to explore the outer reaches of the rock and jazz genres of the day.
It's hard to believe that Klaus Doldinger is self-taught on the saxophone. He started as a pianist but loved wind instruments. He taught himself saxophone because he felt he had played piano long enough with many of the early great jazz musicians like Louis Armstrong, David "Fathead" Newman and the masters Illinois Jacquet and Junior Walker.
Klaus was born in Berlin, Germany and attended a Düsseldorf Music Conservatory. In his early years, Doldinger built his chops by starring in the German Dixieland band The Feetwarmers back in 1953. Later, he formed "Oscar's Trio", a band modeled on Oscar Peterson's work.
The first 3 albums where the classic Passport sound developed were recorded between 1971 and 1973 with several lineup changes.
Then, starting with their 4th album "Looking Thru" in 1974, what I consider the definitive "Passport" was born with their first US release.
This new version of the band which I like to call the "classic" Passport consisted of Doldinger along with Curt Cress on percussion, Kristian Schultze on keyboards, and Wolfgang Schmid covering bass and guitars.
This classic lineup, which I am mainly covering here today continued through the next 5 albums.
Utilizing spacey electronic jazz with rock and classical styles, this group was incredibly groundbreaking.
Like I said earlier, those who knew Passport back in the 70's and 80's weren't necessarily extreme jazz fanatics but, because of their unique sound, listened to them right along with Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Blue Oyster Cult.
Klaus Doldinger treated his saxophone playing completely different than the jazz musicians of that time. Rather than using it as an improvisational instrument, Klaus had a knack for creating the most lyrical, syncopated and catchy sax melodies you ever heard.
He could be as soft and melodic in a classical sense but could rip your ears off with some penetrating and raw riffs (that's right I said Saxophone riffs) that rivaled some of the heaviest of heavy metal guitar licks.
In an early interview Klaus stated "I wanted to make different music than my bebop mates; music that would take us away from it but set us apart from free jazz. For me, it was always important to keep my feet on the ground and play rhythmic and harmonious pieces that the listeners would remember."
"That led to Passport. With it I combine my background – traditional jazz and blues – with other melody-based styles. The origin of this interest is closely linked to the discovery of "Deutschrock". My friend and producer for many years Siggi Loch gave me the idea to play rock."
He was probably one of the first drummers to experiment with electronic drums.
There are times he plays so fast and his rolls are so long that you wonder if it's just one drummer playing.
In fact, if you get a chance to listen to the song "Cyclone" off his 1975 solo effort called "Curt Cress Clan" you will immediately understand what a talent this man possesses.
Wolfgang has composed and produced more than 50 albums and has been the bass player on over 400 lp's with the likes of Billy Cobham, Joe Sample, Bill Bruford and Brian Auger.
Kristian Schultze's use of synthesizer, organs, piano and mellotron rounds out the Passport sound with everything from impulsive "new wave" rhythms to full on expansive orchestral fullness.
Although I consider the "classic" Passport to be the best incarnation of Passport as a band, they have continued to record and tour, with mixed personnel, under the guidance of Klaus Doldinger as long as the other rock "grand daddies" like the "Rolling Stones", "Rush" or Fleetwood Mac."
Maybe it's because Passport's has always been on the more accessible side of the fusion equation, strong on melody, groove and, on occasion, some harder-edged grit, that's allowed Doldinger the luxury of keeping it alive for more than 40 years.
The first is the 4th album released by Passport "Looking Thru" and the band starts from the beginning to showcase their new "Deutschrock" sound.
The opening tune "Eternal Spiral" begins with beautiful, ethereal keyboards by Kristian Schultze which quickly changes to a progressive new wave rhythm (they do a lot of that) and joined by Curt Cress drumming that doesn't stop.
This song strangely enough, like most of this album, showcases the band other than Klaus Doldinger's sax playing. Klaus plays more keyboards than anything.
A great tune to follow up with, the title song "Looking Thru" is keyboard driven again but has Klaus playing a very melodic saxophone. It is just a damn pretty song.
The third gem on this album is "Rockport". Again heavy on the keyboards, this is an incredibly catchy tune you will find yourself humming days later.
While I am not normally a fan of "Live" albums, this album proves that their music is just as commanding live as it is in the studio.
Side one is by far one of the best jazz, fusion or even rock album sides ever. It is a "must hear" and it should be played at maximum volume to boot.
It consists of two songs which melt right into each other.
The opening song "Homunculus" exposes the eccentric sax playing that highlights this period of the band's music. After an incredibly tight musical bridge and drum solo we are segued into the second song "Cross-Collateral" a 13 minute masterpiece.
Hey, guess what? Don't forget to flip this disc over to Side 2. It has 4 songs and is nothing short of spectacular as well.
Although there is no bone crunching attack like side one of the previous album this disc can flex it's muscles as well as show off some pure musical beauty.
The title song, "Infinity Machine" is graceful without being frantic.
The name of the next song "Ostinato" is exactly what the definition implies: "a motif or phrase, that persistently repeats in the same musical voice." A song of this nature has to be difficult to live up to its self-definition but Passport brings an attractive delicateness to the repeating structure of the song.
One of the later songs on the album is "Ju-Ju Man" and again we are treated to the hard edged sax and rhythms of the previous albums.
Additional instruments are added to this work and the sound is expressly influenced by South American and Latin rhythms. Still maintaining the core fusion/rock base, Passport adds more Salsa, Samba and Tango overtones to their sound.
It is obvious by the late 70's, that Klaus Doldinger was once again ready to expand his musical horizons. As Passport moved into the 80's they continued to add new and exciting character and regional elements into their music.
Three songs that highlight this metamorphosis are the title track which is dominated by Latin drums, "Heavy Weight" which is a strong blues rocker and "Sambukada" an upbeat Latin platform with solid sax additions.
It is just one damn happy song.
In the 80's, Klaus dabbled in other projects including several motion picture soundtracks, most notably "The Neverending Story" and "Das Boot."
30 albums later (that's longevity) Passport is still performing live (mostly in Europe. They came to the US only once) with a constant mixture of various brilliant personnel.
Klaus Doldinger has given more than 5000 live performances, toured 50 different countries and has, in total, over 2000 published compositions.
In testiment to his enormous talent, he has been rewarded with countless jazz awards,
In his home country of Germany, he has been honored with the "Federal Cross of Merit" for his contributions to German cultural life.
Although, neither Doldinger nor Passport achieved superstar status in the U.S., Klaus was recognized as an honorary citizen of the Jazz capital of the U.S., the city of New Orleans.

Bounding aromas of fresh vibrant fruit—black and Bing cherry, blackberries and pomegranate—mingle with elevated notes of roasted hazel nut and toasted vanilla bean to create an explosive and compelling aromatic. Layers of fruit, crossing a spectrum of red and black berries, incorporate the finest elements of blending Merlot, Cabernet and Petit Sirah (the "III" of HG III): Merlot for a supple and sleek mid palate texture; Cabernet for core structure and extended finish; and the "secret sauce" of Petit Sirah for depth and layering. An unmistakable hint of dark chocolate yields a richness that beautifully complements a bright, pure fruit character. The firm tannins of Cabernet provide just enough structure, while the mouthfeel driven by Merlot is decidedly lush and seductive. The blend finishes strong with expansive and lingering notes.
Composition: 76% Merlot, 13% Petite Sirah, 11% Cabernet Sauvignon

Williams hits ton but Warriors face uphill battle
A century from Orain Williams ensured North West Warriors achieved their first objective of maximum batting points but Leinster Lightning are well placed to make it a hat-trick of inter-provincial trophies some time this afternoon.
After the first of the three scheduled days at Malahide was washed out, Leinster finished the second on 61 for two, still needing another 142 to avoid the follow-in in the final championship game of the season.
But on a pitch which is not taking appreciable turn, it will take a monumental bowling effort by Warriors, against the strongest batting line-up in the country, to take 18 wickets in a day, their only route to winning the match and the title.
Williams, the in-form West Indian professional, certainly played his part, especially in the afternoon session when he scored 111 from just 116 balls as Warriors recovered from 67 for four - after losing three wickets for two runs - to reach 243 for six at tea.
Partnering Williams for 23 overs was Ballyspallen's first Warrior, Graham Kennedy, who celebrated his 17th birthday with 28 runs on his debut in a stand of 90 for the sixth wicket. Earlier, Andrew Austin had taken advantage of a dropped catch by George Dockrell at first slip to score 27 off 50 balls and give the innings some momentum while Ross Allen played out 62 'dot balls' in his innings of 12.
Skipper Andy McBrine was out pulling, for a single, the first of three victims for Kevin O'Brien who was the most likely wicket-taker throughout the day.
A week before he could be making a return to the Ireland side, for their Intercontinental Cup game against Hong Kong, Dockrell looked anything but an international bowler as he conceded 28 in his first three overs but came back well with the older ball and had Kennedy lbw and Coleraine professional Suraj Randiv caught at point off the leading edge.
The most encouragement for Ireland came in the final hour with John Anderson reaching 40 from just 45 balls with seven, mostly cover-driven, boundaries and Craig Young, bowling with good pace, had Jack Tector snapped up by Kennedy at backward point and wrapped the knuckles of Simmi Singh.
North West Warriors: 302 (O Williams 121, C Young 36, G Kennedy 28, A Austin 27, S Thompson 20; K O'Brien 3-35, G Dockrell 2-64) Leinster Lightning 61-2 (J Anderson 40 not out). Today 11am-6.30pm

The Ginger People Original Ginger Chews
Reviews (19)
So, I was introduced to ginger chews by a friend while on a cruise. I was having sea sickness and she gave me two to help with the nausea. Not only did I feel better but I ate her entire bag! (I have since gave her a brand new bag and begged for her forgiveness). I basically keep a few in my purse, in my desk at work and at home and eat it like candy. I like that it have a strong taste and can help with nausea. It is basically a staple for me plus I love the taste of ginger so it is a win-win. I have even found myself drinking ginger tea more often then before thanks to The Ginger People. It s relationship that is going strong.
I love these ginger chews. I suffer from digestive issues and food allergies. I keep them with me all the time because I never know when an upset stomach or bloating could show up. I eat one or two and my symptoms start to go away.
For people who like the taste of ginger, these can easily be eaten as candy.
For people who like the taste of ginger, these can easily be eaten as candy.
Picked these up on clearance. No one in the family liked them. Too strong to enjoy, but I will keep them around for upset stomachs.
I LOVE these ginger Gin-Gin's. I do like ginger, but I find sometimes it can be delicious and sometimes much to over powering. These are perfect. Both my daughter and I have VERY sensitive tummies and this is one of the products we keep in our bags and in the car. I recommend these to my friends who are expecting, too. They can work wonders on monring (or all day) sickness.
My husband loves these. He was eating ginger and making ginger tea to help with liver inflammation but it was a pain to peel and boil. We found these and they are so easy and convenient. He loves being able to just pop one in his mouth. He gets all the benefits he needs without the hassle.
I get can get an upset stomach from nearly anything so keeping these chews in my purse truly saves me some days. Perfect for keeping your tummy at ease and tastes MUCH better than other ginger chews I have tasted.
I love all things ginger. Perfect for nausea and upset stomach. These are one of my favorite ginger candies, they are perfect for when I am on the go. They are chewy, which I enjoy but if it's too cold - I warm them up so they don't hurt my teeth.
I did not necessarily care for this ginger candy, I did buy it for the purpose of having a nauseated stomach. But I couldn't get past how chewy and how hard the candy was it just hurt my teeth so I did not like it.
For some ginger is an acquired taste but I love it! I like having these randomly in the middle of the during, during class, or whenever because it feels so refreshing to me and keeps me going.
I'm not for sure but this product looks like the ones I've tried. I had an upset stomach at work. My boss gave me a few and I can snack on them all day. Such a bold strong warm ginger taste

Claim: Macy's offers a "foreigner's discount" every day but a military discount only "a couple of days a year."
Example: [Collected via e-mail, March 2011]
Thought all you patriotic Americans would like to know something I recently discovered about the big department store chain Macy's.
I'm a Soldier, and sometimes businesses show their support for our troops by giving them a military discount. I was shopping at Macy's and when we went to check out my sister-in-law asked if there was a military discount. The cashier replied that they only give military discounts a couple days a year. That didn't upset me, I understand that businesses run on profits and so if they don't offer a military discount it is not a problem for me. My problem with Macy's is that the cashier went on to say that they did have a "foreigner's discount" of 11% EVERY DAY. They only have to show that they are citizens of any country but the United States of America. I was totally shocked. I asked if she was sure, and she called her manager to confirm. I dropped my purchases and left the store. To double tap it and make sure I wasn't getting it twisted (since I was having a hard time believing that they would be so un-American) I asked another sales associate, and she confirmed it.
So Macy's doesn't support my husband and friends that are fighting for our country, but they would support the ones trying to kill them. As long as Macy's supports anyone with citizenship in any country but our own instead of the Soldiers that give them the right to make that choice, I will never patronize that store.
I ask you to forward this email and let everyone you know about this so that we can let them know that Americans support our military, and we are appalled that they choose to support foreigners over our troops.
Remember, it's not that they don't give us a discount, it's that they DO give one to foreigners instead.
Origins: A common form of urban legend centers on the misperception that foreigners and immigrants are provided with all sorts of financial incentives and handouts — tax exemptions, free housing, new cars, clothing allowances — not available to U.S. citizens and residents. This item is of similar ilk, decrying the notion that the Macy's chain of department stores regularly offers generous discounts to foreigners, but seldom offers them to U.S. military personnel. It is correct that Macy's has been providing international visitors with discounts on merchandise at all its U.S. stores, but it misses the mark by failing to note that Macy's also provides similar or better discounts to domestic residents, military personnel, and seniors much more often than "a couple of days a year."

Special Agent Todd McKeehan was one of four federal agents killed when they raided the compound of a religious cult for weapons violations.
Special Agent McKeehan was a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and had served with the ATF for four years.
A bridge on U.S. 19E, between Elizabethton and Johnson City, Tennessee, Agent McKeehan's home state, was dedicated in his honor.
Four agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, & Firearms were shot and killed in a raid on the Branch Davidian Compound in Waco, Texas. The Branch Davidians were a religious cult that idolized their leader, David Koresh. A two-month standoff followed the initial raid and ended when the Branch Davidians conducted a mass murder-suicide, by gunfire and fire, which resulted in the deaths of over 80 of its members.
The raid was the catalyst for the terrorist bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on April 19, 1995 - exactly two years after the mass suicide. The terrorist bombing claimed the lives of 168 people, including eight federal law enforcement agents.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Picts. The first family to use the name Kineard lived in the barony of Kinnaird in the county of Perth; and as such, the surname belongs to the category of habitation names, which are derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads.
Kineard Early Origins
Perthshire (Gaelic: Siorrachd Pheairt) former county in the present day Council Area of Perth and Kinross, located in central Scotland, where they held a family seat from very ancient times in the barony named Kinnaird. Radulphus Rufus had a charter from King William the Lion of the barony of Kinnaird in Perthshire and it is from this early origin that the surname was assumed. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Many Scottish families suffered enormous hardships and were compelled to leave their country of birth. They traveled to Ireland and Australia, but mostly to the colonies of North America, where many found the freedom and opportunity they sought. It was not without a fight, though, as many were forced to stand up and defend their freedom in the American War of Independence. The ancestors of these Scots abroad have rediscovered their heritage in the last century through the Clan societies and other organizations that have sprung up across North America. Immigration and passenger ship lists show some important early immigrants bearing the name Kineard:
Kineard Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Qui patitur vincit
Motto Translation: He conquers who endures.

Warner Scraps Rental, May Retool Distribution10 May, 2002 By: Thomas K. Arnold
There's been no official announcement, but Warner Home Video is effectively out of the rental business — and Warner Direct staffers may be deployed elsewhere, perhaps in selling DVDs and sellthrough videos directly to retailers.
Sources close to the studio say that based on the success of sellthrough pricing on Swordfish, Training Day, Heist and Thirteen Ghosts, Warner will no longer release rental-priced videocassettes. Training Day, in particular, generated nearly $30 million for the studio, more than it would have realized at a rental price.
The Affair of the Necklace, an art-house film streeting June 25, bears a flat price of $35, but other cassettes will be priced below $20.
The Warner Direct sales team, which numbers more than 60, is already performing telemarketing, sales and promotional functions for the studio's sellthrough VHS and DVD titles in what sources say could be a prelude to a significant distribution change at Warner.
Warner executives aren't talking, but sources say the studio wants to streamline distribution.
Under one scenario, Warner would sell product directly to retailers, bypassing distribution and relegating fulfillment duties to Ingram and VPD — just as it did with rental.
Under another scenario, Warner would assign different classes of trade to different wholesalers. The studio has already asked various video distributors as well as sellthrough specialists to identify their strengths. Warner will analyze the results and may partition its business by class of trade. Distributors wouldn't cross lines; if a wholesaler was charged with selling Warner product to libraries, schools and other institutions, it couldn't sell to, say, independent video specialty stores.

Disclaimer: I don't own House M.D. nor the characters. (But I wish I would. =D)
Summary: House and Cuddy´s son writes an essay about dad´s job.
"Hi dad." Dean opened the car door, throwing his little backpack to the back of the car as he sat down and placed a kiss on House´s cheek.
"Hey, D-man. How are things today? Put on the seat belt." House messed up Dean´s hair and kissed him back.
"Fine. Are we going to see mommy?"
"You wanna go to the hospital? I thought about we could break some windows with Guitar Hero plugged into dad´s amp." House looked the kid with the rear view
"Plugged into the amp? Yay!"
They arrived home fifteen minutes later, and House got Dean changed, fed, and then they began to play Guitar Hero plugged into House´s amp. The sounds were tremendously loud, making Cuddy´s crystal cups shake.
Dean really liked to play his joystick-guitar, and his little fingers were quick pressing the buttons. House considered giving him a guitar to teach him how to really play songs.
By six o´clock, he ordered enough dinner for three from the restaurant near their home and had Dean to do his homework.
By the time Cuddy arrived with Wilson, Dean had finished his homework and was helping House to set the plates and cups on the table.
The little boy jumped over to his mother and into her arms, then did the same with Wilson.
"Uncle Jimmy!!! Are you going to have dinner with me?" The boy asked after kissing him on the cheek
"Yeah, D-man. I missed you. Look, I brought some ice cream for dessert." Wilson hugged the boy and then showed him the box. "Vanilla, as you like it."
"Thank you, Uncle Jimmy!!! DAD, Uncle Jimmy brought me ice-cream. Can I eat some now?!"
"No, Dean, first we´re going to have dinner. Have you finished your homework, dear?" Cuddy dropped her purse on the couch and helped House with the food.
"Yes, mommy, it´s just some math problems. Dad, after dinner can we continue to play Guitar Hero with the amp?"
"What did I say about Guitar Hero on the amp, Greg?" Cuddy whispered to him inside the kitchen. "You know it´s unhealthy for his and your ears."
"Relax, Lees, play Guitar Hero with the amp once in a while won't make anyone go deaf. You´re gonna be really upset when I tell you I wanna buy a real guitar for him. You should see him playing with that joystick."
"I´m sure he´s good. Let´s talk about it later. And it was kind of you to invite Wilson to have dinner with us. He´s a bit sad, Lily dumped him. Did he tell you about it?" She smiled and placed a sweet kiss on his lips.
"Of course it was. I would never come back there to pick you up. And, we also got dessert. Oh, and no, I didn´t know but he´s going to."
"You still owe me those clinic hours of this week, don´t think you´re gonna clear yourself just because you´ve been picking him at school everyday, and, be gentle when you talk to him about Lily."
"Uncle Jimmy, do you think mommy will like if I have a guitar?" Dean was sitting in Wilson´s lap, as the man was checking the kid´s homework.
"Don´t you think you´re too young to have a real guitar, D-man? You father said you´ve been rocking with that joystick." Wilson said, after seeing that everything was correct. "What about your father´s piano? You don´t like it?"
"I like it. Mommy says I have to be a big boy for daddy teach me to play."
"Your mother says you have to grow, so House can teach you, right?!" Wilson corrected him.
"Yeah, yeah, grow. Grow, grow, I have to grow." Dean repeated for himself, as if he was writing at the back of his memory the new word Wilson taugh him
"Hey you, boys, let´s eat!"– House said as he came from the kitchen, followed by Cuddy.
Dean jumped from Wilson´s lap and rushed to the restroom to wash his hands, screaming "Let´s first wash our hands, people!"
The three doctors smiled at Dean´s statement and followed him to the bathroom.
"Were you planning to tell me about Lily?" House asked in a low tone to Wilson in the hallway.
"Not tonight, House. Let´s just eat and play with Dean for now."
"Okay, then."
The three of them washed their hands and sat around the table, with a happily Dean smiling and playing with them jubilant since his Uncle was around.

This Revised Reprint of a nursing pharmacology classic has been carefully updated to reflect the very latest drugs, drug indications, and trends in nursing care. Its systematic, monograph approach provides essential information on mechanisms of action · indications · pharmacokinetics · side effects/adverse reactions · drug interactions · dosage and administration · and more. Then, for every major drug or drug group, readers will find specific applications of the nursing process—enabling them to relate nursing care to the drug therapy of each patient.
• Employs a body system organization that facilitates access and enhances learning.
• Includes coverage of over 1,100 drugs, including new drugs recently approved by the FDA.
• Alerts readers to common as well as serious drug interactions in two-column drug interaction overviews within Nursing Management sections.
• Uses reader-friendly boxes throughout the text including: Pregnancy Safety boxes · Lifespan boxes (Special Considerations for Children, Special Considerations for Older Adults) · Management of Drug Overdose boxes · Cultural Considerations boxes
• Presents a Comprehensive Index that lists entries by both trade name and generic name, plus a Disorders Index that lists coverage of diseases and disorders.
• Includes Nursing Care Plans for selected drug groups.
• Uses in-text Case Studies to illustrate the application of pharmacology content to common clinical situations.
Reviewer:Joyce B. Vazzano, BS, MS(Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing)
Description:This 21st edition pharmacology text contains updated information not only on major drug categories as they pertain to specific body systems, but also on the principles of pharmacology, the nursing process, and pharmacologic and biopsychosocial aspects of pharmacology. Information on over-the-counter and complementary and alternative medicines or therapies is also included.
Purpose:The purpose is to provide nurses with a sound basis for the clinical application of pharmacology. The focus in this book is on a sound understanding of the pharmacologic properties of major drug classes with clinical application through the use of the nursing process. Emphasis on pharmacology in the community is included. The book is divided into 20 units that begin with a chapter focus, followed by learning objectives and lists of key terms and drugs to enable students to focus on important material within each chapter. These are worthy objectives that I feel are met by the authors.
Audience:The authors are targeting both nursing students (as a text) and nurses (as a reference) with information about medications and their effects on patients of different ages in a concise, practical, and pertinent manner. In my opinion, the information presented is best suited for a student in a baccalaureate program. According to the information provided, the authors seem credible in this subject matter.
Features:In this comprehensive pharmacology text the authors begin with basic principles of pharmacology, including legal and ethical aspects of administering medications, the nursing process as it relates to pharmacology, cultural and psychological considerations when administering medications, alternative and complementary pharmacology, and they continue with in-depth information about drugs that affect specific body systems. There is an overview of each system, followed by particular medications with proposed nursing management, a summary, and critical thinking questions. I would like to see the answers to these questions written in the book (perhaps all in a section at the end of the book) so the reader can easily check his/her answers. Key drugs are highlighted in blue. Additionally, learning objectives and lists of key terms are presented in bold faced. A printed student learning guide is available, as is the MERLIN Web site.
Assessment:This clearly written text is intended for both nursing students and nurses. I feel it is written at an appropriate level for baccalaureate programs. It is an excellent reference for clinical practice also. The nursing process overview is a nice framework for applying pharmacologic knowledge to nursing practice. Each chapter has a summary of the presented information as well as critical thinking questions to aid the reader in applying the chapter material. I would prefer to see the answers to these questions written out so the reader can easily check his/her answers.

Digital Copiers – Making Professional Life Simpler and More Productive
Simplification of life has been a major driving force behind the invention of numerous mechanical elements that are in existence today. Over the years, a plethora of innovations have been made in different fields of work so as to reduce manual labor and improve efficiency. Among the various machines and gadgets that have been invented to make office work easy, photocopiers are the most functional creations. The original model was an analog copier. However, in keeping with the technology of the today, digital copiers were brought out into the market.
In comparison with analog copiers, digital copiers are a more advanced technological development. However, many experts opine that although slow, the older versions were more affordable and reliable. Nevertheless, digital versions are the trend of the day since they offer myriad benefits. The two major advantages of digital copiers are their speed and multitasking ability. The cumulative effect of these advantages is an increase in the productivity of the company that uses them.
Using digital copiers, you can send the copied documents directly to emails or fax. It is possible to edit text and upgrade it as per latest requirements. You can store the copied documents not only in your computer but also in the copier, which makes it very easy to make further copies any time you want. In today's world, where time is money, digital photocopiers save a lot of time, thereby improving profitability of the company. In contrast to analog copiers, wherein the user needed to run the documents as many times as the number of copies he required, the digital copier only needs to be programmed once for any number of copies.
The quality of copied documents is much higher through digital copiers. These use a laser beam in order to copy texts onto the drum, which in turn prints them on paper. Clarity is higher and blurred texts can be copied without further deteriorating their visibility and quality.
On the flip side, digital copiers are expensive. However, when the benefits provided by them are considered, the cost does seem rather reasonable. All major manufacturers like Toshiba, Canon and HP are into manufacturing digital versions of the copier.

Men generally hate to face certain questions. Certain aspects do make men feel uncomfortable and asking silly questions about them would irritate them. Though being straight forward or open in any relationships is important, asking intruding questions isn't advisable.
Also Read: Do Girls Love Bad Boys?
Of course, intruding questions can have different meaning to all of us and on the other hand, many of us think that in relationships both the partners should be open about everything.
So, what are those questions that guys hate? Read on to know more...
Is Your Ex Beautiful?
Any question regarding his ex is intruding question to him. It is better not to ask such questions.
How Much Is Your Salary?
Wait till he openly brags about his earnings. If you ask him before he feels comfortable with you, he may think you are planning to exploit him or estimate his financial strength.
Do I Look More Beautiful Than Your Ex?
This question exposes your insecurity and men tend to get impatient when they sense insecurity in women. In the eyes of men, every woman is uniquely beautiful and therefore, he can't compare you with anyone.
Is Your Mother A Good Human Being?
He loves his mother. So, you must conclude that his mother is a good human being. Don't ask questions about her.
What Are Your Financial Plans For The Future?
This question makes him feel like a fool if he doesn't have any plans at all. Let things unfold naturally and he will give you a clear picture if he is serious about you.
When Are You Planning To Buy A House For Us?
This question may make him feel as if you are trying to separate him from his parents. He may feel offended.
Am I Growing Fat?
If you ask him even when you are slim, he may get irritated. Even if you are getting fat, he would not like to answer such a question.
Are You Thinking About Your Ex?
When he is silent, there could be many other issues in his mind. He isn't thinking about his ex. So, don't ask this question.
Do You Watch Porn?
Digest this fact. Men do watch porn but if you ask such a question, his reaction could be unpredictable because he may feel conscious.
Will You Give Me Your Monthly Salary If I Plan To Marry?
He will never marry you after hearing this. He will try to run away from you.
What Do You Like In Me?
He likes you that is why he is with you. Yes, he too doesn't know why he is with you. Or maybe, he likes your figure. But he can't tell that openly to you. So, refrain from asking this question.

Inflation Performance and Constitutional Central Bank Independence. Evidence from Latin America and the Caribbean
This paper explores the relationship between the constitutional entrenchment of central bank independence and inflation performance. Empirical studies for developing countries have not found a relationship between central bank independence, proxied by the de jure independence established in the central bank law, and inflation. We argue that the Constitution is likely to be better enforced than ordinary statutes owing to its higher legal rank. Our empirical analysis finds that in a sample of Latin American and Caribbean countries, those countries that entrench the independence of the central bank in the Constitution have a better inflation performance.

Andrew Schloss has written about everything from homemade sodas to barbecue how-tos. Now he's taking the plunge into mixology with a cookbook that explores the world of "Homemade Liqueurs and Infused Spirits" (Storey, $18.95, 264 pages) — hello, DIY Cointreau.
Libations lovers will pore over the instructions for making familiar liqueurs — Spiced Rum, Kahlua and Cointreau, for example — to some very unusual combinations, including Radicchio Campari, Lavender Gin and a Butter-Scotch made from 10-year-old Highland whiskey. We'd like to think that's what the now-grown-up Harry Potter sips on a frosty evening.

Finding the ultimate secret to long-lasting health and happiness is top of many people's to-do lists. It's a challenge to know exactly what the magic formula is.
One such person who has been intrigued by this is psychologist Dacher Keltner from the University of California. He directs the Berkeley Social Interaction Lab and has written books including The Power Paradox (about gaining and losing influence), Born to Be Good (on living a meaningful life) and Social Psychology (exploring human behaviour).
In 2013 he decided to launch a three-year research project, funded by the John Templeton Foundation. It has become one of the largest of its kind, exploring 'awe' and how it makes us feel. The conclusion of his study found that the feel of being 'awestruck' - of having your breath taken away by something so amazing or being left speechless by how incredible something is - may well be the secret to ultimate health and happiness.
This intense emotion comes when we feel as though something we are part of or witnessing is vast beyond our human scale - that it transcends any current understanding we have of things. Maybe it is seeing one of the natural wonders of the world, such as Mount Everest in Nepal, the Northern Lights, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia or the Grand Canyon in Arizona. It could be a shooting star, the experience of giving birth to a new baby, a magical sunset, or it could be something much more every day - for example, an act of kindness or generosity, or feeling really great thanks to warm weather or beautiful backdrops.
In past research, the focus of scientific study has been predicated upon the emotions of sadness and happiness, fear and anger, disgust and surprise. Awe has had far less attention - but it is now believed to be intrinsic to human life. It connects humans together, ensuring our survival. It helps us to realise that we are part of a bigger picture and offers greater perspective to how we think. It offers us an overview of life - a global consciousness.
In making us more attentive and alert to what is around us, it also helps us to become more present. It helps us to become more in the moment, which in turn enables us to feel happier, less stressed and act more generously. It also has the potential to heal.
So when it comes to turning that frown upside down, the answer is to find something so awe-inspiring and amazing, that you can feel nothing but happiness. Get outside, find something amazing and let it transform your mood entirely.
If you want to gain more insight into how you can build on your global consciousness come to one of our events.

Release Info
TRACK NAME: Center Of The Universe (Remode)
ARTIST(S): Axwell
LABEL(S): Axtone Records
GENRE(S): Progressive House
BUY LINK: Buy Link
After it's world premiere several weeks ago from Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1, we now see the official release of Axwell's Center Of The Universe (Remode) on his Axtone Records imprint!
The last original mix we heard from Axwell was two years ago with Heart Is King, as well as several remixes like In My Mind and Falling (Committed To Sparkle Motion), so it's not very often that we get to see solo masterpieces from the Axtone head honcho himself. Center Of The Universe has actually been around since 2009, but until now, we have only ever heard live versions and rips of the track from Axwell. The remastered Remode version of Center Of The Universe features enchanting vocals from Magnus Carlsson over an energetic build-up of synths and chords, with a melody of piano chords so enchanting during the quick break that they will take you away; it really gives the track that Axwell shine, and it reminds us of the break in the much-loved Axwell & Daddy's Groove remix of Walk With Me.
Axwell's Center Of The Universe (Remode) will undoubtedly be one of this summer's greatest festival anthems, and is yet another timeless record for the Axtone catalog. Make sure to check it out today!

Alvarez calm on Fabiano
Sevilla manager Antonio Alvarez claims it would not be a disaster if Luis Fabiano ended up leaving the club.
Last Updated: 12/08/10 9:19pm
Sevilla manager Antonio Alvarez claims it would not be a disaster if Luis Fabiano ended up leaving the club this summer.
The 29-year-old Brazil striker has been the subject of intense transfer speculation but has yet to move away from the Spanish side.
French outfit Marseille are in the hunt to sign Fabiano, with L'OM's president Jean-Claude Dassier claiming earlier in the week that getting the forward onboard was a priority.
The Spanish media claim Marseille are willing to pay €15million (£12.3m) for the Brazilian, and Alvarez believes if any deal is right for Sevilla, he would see it done.
"I am concerned but I am not going to lose any sleep over it," Alvarez said ahead of Saturday's Spanish Super Cup first leg against Barcelona.
"We are talking about an exceptional player but if the deal is profitable for the club... there's nothing you can do.
"I will say what I have always said, if Luis Fabiano leaves then someone else will come.
"We'll have to bring in a player who can guarantee success, who knows Spanish soccer and who is a proven goalscorer."

Miasma now 80 msp!
by ESP-Games on Jan.09, 2012, under Uncategorized
Because Microsoft recently made some changes to the pricing structure for Xbox Live Indie Games, we're now pleased to say we can offer Miasma 1 at the price of 80 Microsoft Points. This is about one US dollar, or about 70 UK pence at the time of writing.
We originally shipped at 400 MSP, then reduced to 240. We couldn't offer the game at 80 because it was higher than the 50MB file size limit at the time (and we used up almost all the available space at 150MB). But last week, 150MB may now be sold for the cheaper price.
Happy turn-based strategising!
