Anderson giving back while healing
Even though San Antonio Spurs rookie James Anderson is still out of the line up nursing an injury, it certainly hasn't stopped him from giving back to the local San Antonio community.
Anderson took time out to help the San Antonio Food Bank sorting out food to make sure there is enough for the holidays:
"It means a lot, you know, just giving back and it's something I look forward to continue to do," said the San Antonio Spurs' rookie guard James Anderson. (source kens5.com)
Sure Spurs fans may be caught up in the team having the best record in the NBA and playing some of their best basketball in recent years, it's nice to see Anderson put things in perspective and see helping others is what truly matters in life.

Road Testing the BlackBerry Z10 Video
Road Testing the BlackBerry Z10 Video Transcript
-Okay, it is time for the awesome and exciting competitive portion of our BlackBerry Z10 road test. -I am so excited about this. I have been excited about the idea of doing this road test since I heard about it, but also, very nervous because we have only the BlackBerry Z10 as our guide. -That's right. -And I have had very little time on it. And it's a brand new OS, full of-- lots of quirks and interesting-- -Quirks. -difficulties-- -Quirks is a generous word-- -like how to find the home screen. -for example, the home screen. And I don't think Vodafone, by the way, is doing this thing any favors, like the performance is very slow. So, basically, we're starting here. We're at the Plaça Catalunya in beautiful Barcelona and our producers have given us a list of objectives that we have to accomplish. So, we're gonna have to go places, buy things,-- -Yeah. -take a train. -All those things are pre-loaded onto my BlackBerry Z10 in my "Reminder" app. -And don't lose me, remember. -I will remember. -It's your "Remember" app. -"Remember" app, clicking it. Barcelona Road Test file. Objective one: Get to Mercat de la Boqueria, try an unusual food and tweet a photo of it. -Ooh. -Unusual food scares me. -Weird food! Weird food challenge! -Awesome. So, that's the gigantic, like awesome, market that I've heard about. -Food market. Okay, so, we have to find it. -So, we have to figure out how to get there. -From here, with just our phones. Okay. -Maps. -Maps. -Okay. -Let's see for information. -Oh, I see where we are. -I'm not even getting-- There's my map. Slowly loading. -Slowly loading, Boqueria. -So far, the slowest race ever. [unk] C-E-R-S -Seriously, it's a pretty big market, like why would it not just immediately be like, oh yeah, you're looking in. -[unk] What happened? Look, it just crashed. -I'm just gonna use Google, Google Custom Search. -How many objectives do we have on this-- -Just the one, right? -Oh, boy. -[unk] gets us to market by lunch time. All right. Oh my God. -[unk] -We need to go that way and then turn left. That's it. All that [unk]. -[unk] -Okay, let's go. -Let's do it. -Let's go. -Yehey, Google! -Molly, I don't think you understand the idea of a race. -Oh yeah. -We don't have time to shoot pictures of bunnies. I was racing, but there were bunnies. There were bunnies right there. -Stay on target. -I'm-- -Stay on target. -I'm testing the camera. Mercat-- -Right there? -Yeah, it's Mercat de la Boqueria. -I know Google could do it. -There is no shortage of weird-looking food. -I'm thinking this is gonna be faster if we split up. Each of us has 10 minutes to find a weird food. -Okay. -And then we meet back here, compare. -Oh, I'm gonna outweird you. -It's all-- It all comes down to guts mi amigo. -It's like I don't wanna win that. -I don't really like-- Ready? -Yeah. -Go. -[unk] -Oh, man. Chicken ala-- -[unk] So, I-- ooh, look at this. -Oh, wow, that is weird. Take a picture of it. Detecting faces. -Oh, God. -Oh, please don't detect the face. -Oh, little bunnies. -It's alive. We're all alive. -Hello. Tres. -[unk] -[unk] It's not that adventurous 'cause it comes with a spoon, but it is magenta on me. Jeff's turn. -Yeah. -How did you do? -It's okay. -I got pitaya. -Oh, my gosh. It's awesome. -And that looks beautiful fruit. I mean, it's unusual. It's not the scariest food here 'cause it comes with a spoon. -I really wanted to get something that would terrify you. -Yeah? -But I chickened out-- -Oh. -and I got churros, but not any churros like anything I've ever seen before. -Wooh. -It's got honey on it. So-- -We got churros and honey. Look at this. It has tentacles. I got a tentacle fruit-- -Yeah, I know it's fruit [unk]. -and you got churros. -I wanted to get a goat head and they have plenty of them for sale. -I want it too-- -But you know what, the market for-- -but instead I got a churro. -goat heads right now is really-- it's really overpriced. -All right. I'm gonna take a picture of my pitaya. You take a picture of your churro. All right, I'm gonna tweet it. Boqueria with-- I wonder if I can add you. Oh, God, really? I can't just type it. -No, it won't let you. -No, no. The Twitter app is truly terrible. -There you go. Tweeted. -Tweeted. Auto-upload to Twitter. Boom. -So, objective one down. -Buddy, I know we did it. -Nice. -We did it. Weird food completed. -All right, checked off. -Okay. -Now, objective two is, each take five photos of La Catedral, see if you can figure out "Burst" mode, upload one to Facebook. -Share via NFC. -Oh. -Also, objective two involves find La Catedral. -Oh. I saw a sign. I'm going old fashion, like no more mapping. -Wait, you saw a sign where to go? -I saw a sign that pointed to Catedral. -All right, cool. -Let's do that. -All right. Following you. -I didn't have anything more specific than this way, but now, I see another like set of blue signs. Shoes for 5 euros. Detour. -All right, stay on target. Stay on target. Catedral. -That way. Yes. -That looks like a cathedral to me. -More than clearly the Catedral. We made it. -Spire. -That is beautiful. -Cool. -That was one. -I figured out "Burst" mode. -Huh, you did? -Yeah. Yeah, "Burst" mode is a little [unk] water out of his face. -I'm gonna burst that kid. -Do you remember that time we got kicked out of Barcelona for bursting a kid? -And burst. -Tell me when you're gonna burst me. -Okay, ready, one, two, three. -Did you burst me? -"Burst" mode is rad. Okay, this is the first solid point that the Blackberry has gotten. -"Burst" mode for the win. Pretty cool. -Dude, all those tourists that you see who are always trying to do that photo? -Yeah. -They need BlackBerry "Burst" mode. -Oh, gosh. -Spires. All right. -[unk] -I need burst zoom. All right, let's keep going. -That's really pretty. -That's muy artistico. -Muy artistico! -And I have more than five photos. I have the-- -Oh, yeah, I went crazy. -But-- -But that's a good stuff, though. -I know, me too. Okay. -So, we have to do it. -So, I'm gonna try to edit my artistic lens flare shot. -I like that you can edit right natively in the app. -I know. You've got kind of a cool little edit button. All right, I'm just gonna enhance, so I'm not gonna do much. Oh, [unk] is cool. I'm going with that 'cause it's very gothic. Save. -I made mine looked like something out of Game of Thrones or Skyrim. -Oh. Go back to camera. Where's my link? Share. Facebook. Minor editing. Post. Auto-upload has started. Is it there? Oh, yeah, it's there. -It's there. -Sweet. -That's pretty great and it was luckily split too-- -It was luckily split actually. -and really easy just right from the camera app. -One little point for Vodafone too. -Yeah. -Okay, so, now, though, this is a tricky part. We have to share photos via NFC. -Okay. -So, I think I have an idea of how to do this. -Are you sharing me? -If we hit the share button-- -Okay. -Oh, look, NFC. -NFC. -To share files, please align the back of your device with another NFC device. Oh, it vibrated. -Wait, I heard a buzz. -Waiting. -Waiting. Receive data transfer, receive. It's coming. -Three seconds, 13 seconds. -21 seconds, 22, 21, 20, 18, 19. This is not as fast as in the commercial,-- -No, it is not. -at all. I thought we were like-- -If you do this with a stranger, it could get awkward-- -Yeah. -and feel like-- -It's actually a-- We're not strangers and it's a little awkward. -A little awkward. -What? -Received four files. -What? -So you gave me four and I gave you three. -I received three. Look. Okay. View. So, then, this is somewhere in my library. -It's not in my photo library. -I can't-- wherever they transferred to, I'll never know. -You go to File Manager, and on device, it's under Downloads. It's not under-- I guess, it wouldn't be under Camera 'cause I didn't take it with my camera, but it's also not under Photos. It's under Downloads. And then for some reason, I got the same photo four times. -And I got three. I got three. -So, maybe, it would be a lot faster if it was only sending it to us once. -Probably. -Also, we've determined that three of my photos are with four of your [unk]. -Right. That's not a fair trade. -The exchange rate for photos is really weird. -All right. Nevertheless, I would say we have completed this objective. -Oh, for sure. -Let's check that sucker off. -All right, checked off, boom. -Checked off. -Now, we're on to objective three,-- -Okay. -find the metro station and catch a train to the Arc de Triomf. -Okay. -All right, let's do it. -I'm sure there's a sign for that. -Metro station. -Yeah. -Yeah. -That's gotta be easy to find. -Sure. No particular place to be. We're doing good dude. -Yeah. -We found the subway. Pretty soon, I expect we will find the train. -I hope we get on the right train. -[Foreign Language] -[Foreign Language] -[Foreign Language] -You did it. -[Foreign Language] -Proxima estacion. -Nice. -Arc de Triomf. We're here. -[unk] -I know. Wooh. -Look at that. -They have a huge arch here. That is amazing. We're getting a good tour. We're here. -We did it. We found the metro station and caught a train to Arc de Triomf which was objective three. -We totally did that. -So, we're checking that off. -Boom. -Now, objective four, find a nice place to enjoy lunch. -They really understand us. -There's a lot of options for that 'cause this is all nice. -I know. Let's go. -Let's do it. We did it. -We did it. -Cheers. -Cheers. We completed our challenge. -Sangria for both of us. -Yeah. -That's pretty good. So, what do you think? -Kind of nice. -Overall. Now, we did our challenge and we've had this for a little while. -Yeah. -What is your impression of the BlackBerry? -Yeah, I mean, we've been using this all throughout our European travels, and you know-- I mean, I think, so part of some of our issues could have come from Vodafone and the local service. But, you know, I have to say, as an operating system, BlackBerry OS 10 just is not there yet and that is not really acceptable in this day and age when iOS, Android, and Windows phone are all so good. -Yeah, there's some good things about it. I mean, we both really liked "Burst" mode and some of the accessibility of the common apps that you get being right there on the phone already,-- -That is cool, so-- -but, man, it is a clunky, hard to use, unintuitive experience, picking up this phone even for somebody that's used to, you know, using lots of different cellphones. And getting around, maneuvering, it just feels like I'm doing extra steps to do common activities. I didn't like it. -It's rough. It's gonna be hard for an advanced user and hard for a newbie. And then, on top of that, the app support is not there. It's heartbreaking to pick this up and have Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn built right in,-- -Yeah. -but not be able to download Instagram. So, I mean, I hate to say it, I was polling for this phone. I think the Q10 has a lot of potential 'cause people want the keyboard. But for me, right now, I have to say the Z10 is a do not buy. -I agree. Without the keyboard, there's really no reason to get this phone over other better smartphones. -Cookie. We have now thoroughly road tested the BlackBerry Z10 here in Barcelona. -So, now, we're going to destroy it as best we can. -I think Jeff has really been looking forward to this. -Yes, it's a little cathartic for me. -He's-- He got a really pretty buggy unit. So, I feel okay about, I don't know, throwing this one down the stairs. -All right, Molly, you do the honors. -Yeah, I get the first one. -First, toss. -Okay, ready? Here we go, one, two, three. -Oh, nice. -Oh, oh. -We lost the back of the case. Excellent. Just popped off really. -[unk] -It's just designed to deal with that. -It's still-- It's still on, though. -Yeah. -Here we go. Put together-- together. No problem. -Yeah. -Well, I think it handled that so well. We might as well do it again. -Wooh. -Yeah, I like this. -A nice roll, okay. Oh, I got some-- I saw some corners. -Yes. -Oh, no, I think the roll is not as cool as the-- -Yeah, toss was a little more violent. It did get a little edge action. There's no-- no problems. -Yeah. Hey, you know what I'm thinking? Let's take this drop test step a notch. -I like-- I like this idea. -So, the thing you're always doing at Scenic Vistas is taking pictures in high places. Accidents can happen. -Molly, this is gonna be a great shot of you-- Oh no! Oh. -All right. We-- Oh, oh, I see glass on the ground. Come on down. -Did I get a shot? Did I get-- Oh, oh. -Yeah. Oh, I get the little red light, like terminator. -You have a message. You have a message. The message is, "Why?" -The message is, "Why?" -Why? -And it's still going, blinking. That was amazing. -[unk] -Let's see. And now, this is a-- -Sharp edges. -This is a downright dangerous situation. No, I think that red light just came on for a second to be like, "What's wrong with you?" -[Foreign Language] -[Foreign Language]. Beautiful weather. -We gotta come to Barcelona more often. -Seriously? -[unk] -There's Mobile World Congress soon [unk]. I like the snacks. -Oh, [unk] -Come on. -Oh, actually, I wanna just let it go.

Illustration: Shannon May My mother was robbed at gunpoint in our home when she was pregnant with my sister. As a toddler, I found the event less scarring than she did (her water broke from the stress). Still, she spent the rest of my childhood instilling in me a fear of strangers and an appreciation of big dogs and high-tech alarm systems.
Three decades later, I've taken her lessons to heart. I live in New York City, a place teeming with strangers. And I never speak to them. Not to the old man playing his cello on the subway platform, or the NYU students scouring the sale rack alongside me at the Gap—hell, not even to the tired moms pushing baby strollers on my block, who seem particularly disinclined to commit violence. With friends, I'm solicitous (after an initial thaw, at least). Toward anyone I don't know, I'm dismissive at best, rude at worst. Why are they taking so long to order their coffee? This all came into sharp relief when I married a man our friends call the Mayor of Greenpoint. When we walk the streets of our Brooklyn neighborhood, my husband greets each dog and human by name. He gets drinks with his barber; he landed a job through a guy he met at the park. And he frequently brings up the time I used my open umbrella to herd tourists out of my path in Times Square, like cattle. "I could never do that," he'll say, virtuously. I still don't see why it was so wrong—perhaps more evidence that I need help. I decide to try a little experiment. For a week, I will smile at everyone and will answer warmly when spoken to. I'm curious to see if I can change this crowded metropolis—or at least, my experience of it—by altering my own energy. (It's worth mentioning that I'm visibly pregnant, which predisposes people to be nice to me.) My experiment starts strong, when our shepherd mutt stops to sniff a cocker spaniel's rear in my building's lobby. This is usually my cue to flash a terse smile and yank his leash. But today I linger. The cocker spaniel's owner reveals that she herself is in the early stages of pregnancy. After a few pleasantries, I suggest we explore sharing a nanny. When she agrees, I'm overwhelmed by that tingly rush you get when you first gel with a new friend. Soon I take my nicer self for a spin on the subway. When an older couple chats me up—"It's a boy, isn't it?" says the woman, who is wearing a floral twinset—I gamely field her questions about the names we're considering. Feeling bold, I even reveal that I'm starting to dilate—which elicits a raised eyebrow. Too much? I've gone from avoiding eye contact to telling complete strangers what's going on with my cervix. Still, the world is starting to look different to me. It's full of cute retired couples who remind me of my parents, and neighbors named Sandra with whom to gossip about the stoner who was recently evicted from our building. I start finding Amazon.com boxes perched in front of my door; it seems my new friends don't want me to haul them upstairs in my condition. Of course, not everyone seems to be relishing the magical new vibe. When my dog nearly trips a woman on the sidewalk, she fixes me with an icy, accusatory glare—a look I've cast at hundreds of strangers over the years. This time, however, I simply smile. "Poor thing," I think. "Doesn't know what she's missing." More on Friendship From the September 2012 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

I suggest it is time to change the semantics about hydraulic fracturing for the extraction of natural gas from the Utica and Marcellus shales in this part of the country. The word "fracking" is hardly specific and not inclusive of the entire process of hydraulic fracturing. Industry spokespersons and proponents usually refer to the actual fracturing process at the well (extraction), where risks are minimal and no evidence of pollution of aquifers exists.
What should be discussed is the entire range of "operational hazards," associated with hydraulic fracturing, and the overall drilling, completion, and production operations. This includes the transport of the hazardous chemicals that are ultimately mixed with water, transport of vast quantities of sand, disposal of flow back from the fracturing process. It appears that Washington County will not be the site of many natural gas wells using this process, but our county will be affected by the transport of chemicals, building of disposal sites, and, as already evidenced, transport of large quantities of sand.
George E. King of the Apache Corp., writing as a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers, raises the issue of the proper transport of chemicals for hydraulic fracturing in collision-proof totes and double-walled containers. Are Ohio EPA and transportation officials monitoring this kind of protection of transported materials and are local communities protected by these controls of transporting hazardous materials? Another question is the impact of all this transport on our state, county, and township roads.
When flow-back materials are transported to disposal wells, are they taken in these kinds of protected vehicles and are disposal wells themselves protected from polluting land and water?
A question raised in a recent New York Times article involved the lack of restrictions on hours spent on the road by drivers of vehicles who are employed by oil and gas companies. In that story a serious accident involving fatalities occurred when a truck going from Ohio to West Virginia was being driven by workers who had spent 10-hour-plus days working then drove back to the home base miles away. Why aren't the requirements for rest between hauling trips that are applied to commercial truck drivers applied to drivers employed by oil and gas companies?
All of these questions also imply the need for base-line data before hydraulic fracturing begins so that we can assess the impact of all the operational hazards on our county's roads, lands, and water.

Could be.
This is no fly by night study since research on approximately 21,000 fruit flies--yes, you heard it right--may help us sleep better.
Using a device that employs infrared beams to detect when the flies nod off, scientists discovered that mutations in a gene (nicknamed the insomniac gene) were associated with a dramatic reduction in sleep.
While a typical fruit fly sleeps for average of 927 minutes a day, insomniac flies snoozed for just 317.
The work supposedly gives us several new clues about how sleep is controlled at the molecular level, and could prove useful in treating sleep disorders.
What this has to do with human sleep can keep you up all night thinking about it.
Since we appear to desperately need some solutions.
A recent article in Consumer Reports reports that 50% of those asked reported difficulties falling and staying asleep.
(Pre-light bulb America slept about 10 hours each night as opposed to the six or so hours we sleep now.)
Stress, noisy neighbors, family problems, health, small children, money, the 24/7 nature of today's world are the main culprits.
Work started in earnest on sleep in 1913 when French Scientist Henri Pieron wrote a book entitled "Le probleme physiologique du sommeil," which was the first text to examine sleep from a physiological perspective.
Through the ages, everything has been tried to get a decent night's sleep.
Winston Churchill had twin beds and when he couldn't fall asleep in one he changed to the other.
Marcel Proust liked Veronal and Evelyn Waugh used bromides.
Vincent van Gogh smothered his mattress and pillow with camphor to clear his head of all his strange thoughts (and he had them).
Marlene Dietrich ate a sardine and onion sandwich on rye.
They all make as much sense as sleep experts recommending drowning out internal chatter by holding the tip of your tongue towards the roof of your mouth without actually touching it until the chatter stops.
Or wiggling your toes to help the body relax.
All the more reasons we can only hope the fruit fly research bears fruit.
fruit flies? that sounds like a dream I once had : fruit flying everywhere, trying to escape the blender....
For most of my life I was blessed: dropped off to sleep in two or three minutes, stayed asleep all night.
Then, I got older and had to get up a few times during the night and more recently, have been plagued by discomfort if not outright pain and dry mouth owing to prescription meds.
I never took for granted how lucky I was and hope to get back to the good old days before it's over.
I live on naps when I can get them and 2-3 hour power sleep sessions with technicolor dreams. I awake and make notes, record ideas, post here and there, and when home have stare downs with the cats. I feel great and disregard most studies. ...sometimes a major recharge is needed but I just go with the flow.
Ah Stoney is similar to my problems. Always slept wonderfully till recent years.... perhaps letting in some fruit flies might help. Noprescription drugs used but I do now enjoy a bit of melatonin at bedtime which frequently makes for vivid dreaming.
Welcome, karend!
Didn't we talk about sleep a couple of weeks ago?
I can't resist quoting Macbeth:
Methought I heard a voice cry, "Sleep no more!
Macbeth does murder sleep"—the innocent sleep,
Sleep that knits up the raveled sleave of care,
The death of each day's life, sore labor's bath,
Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course,
Chief nourisher in life's feast.
Karend: I would so be careful with that melatonin. It is made from cow pineal glands (the pineal gland is a brain structure). One never knows what pathogens are lurking in cow brains...

Staff Writer
As the school year and fall sports season resumes, parents and coaches must be aware that children and adolescents may be at risk for concussions, experts warn.
According to a report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 1.6 to 3.8 million sports- and recreation-related traumatic brain injuries occur in the United States each year. Most of these are concussions that are not treated in a hospital or emergency department, according to the CDC.
"Parents, coaches and the athletes themselves all need to be aware of the signs and symptoms of a concussion," said Dr. Michael W. Barrow, medical director of The Sports Medicine Center at Good Samaritan North Health Center in Dayton.
We asked Barrow what parents and coaches should know about concussions.
Q: What is a concussion?
A: "A concussion is a disturbance in how the brain works. It is not a structural problem in the brain but rather a functional problem. As such, taking a picture of the brain with an MRI or CT scan does not generally identify where the problem actually is. For example, if your car has a knock, you would not expect a mechanic to pop the hood, take a picture of the engine, and hand it back to you indicating it looked fine. He really did not address the knock issues. The knock issues are the functional deficits we see with concussions."
Q: What causes a concussion?
A: "A concussion is caused by a sudden trauma to the brain resulting in a change in mental status. Basically, the brain gets shaken or twisted rapidly, which causes a functional disturbance in the brain with symptoms such as headache, dizziness, forgetfulness, etc."
Q: Does playing any sport pose a risk for a concussion for children and adolescents?
A: "Sports are the leading cause of concussions in children and adolescents. Sports involving contact and/or collision are the highest risk. This includes football, hockey, soccer, wrestling, etc. However, concussions can also be caused in golf as well as tennis. In addition, concussions can be caused by other activities such as bicycle or motor vehicle accidents."
Q: What are the signs and symptoms of a concussion for children and adolescents?
A: "Signs and symptoms can include dizziness, headache, memory problems, concentration problems, fatigue, thinking followed by the feeling of photophobia (abnormal sensitivity to light) or phonophobia (sensitivity to sound). There may be forgetfulness as well as difficulty with sleep initiation and maintenance. Some people develop mood problems such as irritability or increased fatigue."
Q: Is it possible for children and adolescents to have a concussion and not know it?
A: "It is possible to have a concussion and not recognize it. With a concussion, there is a disturbance in how the brain works. Sometimes the symptoms are so subtle that only others identify it. For example, teachers may note that students are having more difficulty with learning or that individuals are more irritable than usual."
Q: Can a child or adolescent only be diagnosed with a concussion if they experience a loss of consciousness?
A: "Loss of consciousness is not necessary in order to be able to diagnose a concussion. In fact, it has been removed from the diagnostic criteria that we currently use for evaluation of concussions."
Q: What should parents and coaches do if they suspect a child or adolescent has a concussion?
A: "If an athlete is suspected of having a concussion, they need to be immediately pulled from all activities and observe physical and mental rest. They should also be promptly seen by a physician that is comfortable with concussion management."
Q: How is a concussion treated for children and adolescents?
A: "Concussions in adolescents and children tend to be more conservatively managed. We have learned that adolescent brains are going through puberty much like the rest of the body, and a brain going through puberty is more vulnerable to injury and less able to recover."
Q: How long does it take for children and adolescents to recover from a concussion?
A: "Eighty percent clear in two to three weeks with the remainder generally taking over a month."
Q: What are the long-term effects of repeat concussions for children and adolescents?
A: "Learning disabilities, ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), depression, mood disorders, chronic headaches, chronic dizziness."
Q: How can parents and coaches work to prevent children and adolescents from getting concussions?
A:"Proper equipment, proper coaching on hitting techniques, neck strengthening programs, not using the head as a weapon or battering ram, being smart when playing such as not diving into the stands for a loose ball, reduce or eliminate heading the ball."
Q: What else should readers know about concussions?
A: "Concussions can be very serious and are frequently not identified. As such athletes sometimes go a week or two with concussion symptoms before they are appropriately diagnosed and treated. Any symptoms should be taken seriously. Athletes should not be told to push through the symptoms. Don't go back too soon. If you have recurrent symptoms, promptly notify your coach and be removed."

This article does not cite any references or sources. (July 2009) |
A decongestant or nasal decongestant is a type of pharmaceutical drug that is used to relieve nasal congestion in the upper respiratory tract. The active ingredient in most decongestants is either pseudoephedrine or phenylephrine.
The vast majority of decongestants act via enhancing norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline) or adrenergic activity by stimulating the α-adrenergic receptors. This induces vasoconstriction of the blood vessels in the nose, throat, and paranasal sinuses, which results in reduced inflammation (swelling) and mucus formation in these areas.
Decongestant nasal sprays and eye drops often contain oxymetazoline and are used for topical decongestion. Pseudoephedrine acts indirectly on the adrenergic receptor system, whereas phenylephrine and oxymetazoline are direct agonists. The effects are not limited to the nose, and these medicines may cause hypertension (high blood pressure) through vasoconstriction. Most decongestants, however, are not pronounced stimulants, due to lack of response from the other adrenoreceptors. Besides hypertension, common side-effects include sleeplessness, anxiety, dizziness, excitability, and nervousness.
Topical nasal or ophthalmic decongestants quickly develop tachyphylaxis (a rapid decrease in the response to a drug after repeated doses over a short period of time). Long-term use is not recommended, since these agents lose effectiveness after a few days.
Common decongestants include:
- Ephedrine
- Levo-methamphetamine
- Naphazoline
- Oxymetazoline
- Phenylephrine
- Phenylpropanolamine
- Propylhexedrine
- Synephrine
- Tetrahydrozoline
- Xylometazoline
- Pseudoephedrine -- controlled in some jurisdictions for over the counter use
- Tramazoline
Decongestants that are uncommon or discontinued include:
- Cafaminol
- Cyclopentamine
- Epinephrine
- Fenoxazoline
- Levonordefrin
- Mephentermine
- Metizoline
- Norepinephrine
- Tuaminoheptane
- Tymazoline

Keith UrbanReliant Stadium : 6:45 p.m. March 14 |
Keith Urban is a peculiar superstar. Take away the rugged good looks, and you'd still be left with a talented guitarist who gives us every impression he'd be just as content jamming in the studio as headlining the rodeo before adoring, possibly hyperventilating fans. In fact, Urban began... More >> |

Luke BryanReliant Stadium : 6:45 p.m. March 17 |
There's something quite endearing, but still quite frat-boyish about the way Luke Bryan works his audience, both on his albums and onstage. He's the king of flirty country, with his songs about country girls shakin' it and all, but he's actually a really decent artist on top of that, so it all... More >> |

Every Glover Gill song tells a story.

I have to repaint our deck. :cry: ...I painted it last yr. ( Ben Moore exterior wood solid stain ) some areas have peeled ...It was the boards that were in the shade and I guess they were not dry enough .....I have been sanding these boards when the weather is nice in preparation for repainting.......Is there any superior wood stain that is better than BM? Our house is cedar and we use Sikkens on it but not sure if it would be suitable for decks. I would appreciate any feedback from your experiences with painting wooden decks...Thanks in advance
this software in neat to use to plan a deck and other areas of a house. It's not free but could be useful. A month subscription of use could give people time to fool around with it.
Free software from Google.
We have always used Cabot Oil Stain, we have had great success in all our decks and chairs with this Oil. Never again would we use anything that peels. This porduct is all oil, it goes on geat and I don't have to touch anything for a year or 2 other than the deck boards .
Good Luck
1. Opaque class stains last longer than solid colours.
[U]Solvent based [/U] "Cabot" opaque colours have proven to be the most durable, compared to the Cabot latex colours.
2. Always apply when the conditions of the wood are near room temperature. Cooler than 55* F prevents proper drying. Hotter temp. around 80* F. causes a boil off of ingredients before the finish has cured. Apply on a cloudy day or when the deck is in the shade.
3. Prep the surface with 60 or 80 grit sandpaper, or pressure wash then sand.
New lumber is not thirsty. the mill glaze left behind will not allow the stain to penetrate deeply enough. Pressure wash will remove most of this quickly then sanded with 60 grit sandpaper had the greatest absorbency and most durable finish. For a large deck it is worth renting a sander you walk behind like the type used for indoor wood floors.
A deck usually needs re staining every 36-48 months in Canadian climates.
Do not allow new wood to grey before applying any finish.
The Cabot solvent based has been proven to hold up best on a flat surface.
Have to agree on the moisture issue. boy wood has to be really dry. Horizontal surfaces are never going to last very long but Sikkens is the one I think gets recommended over all others. I was also told to use the oil based and that worked well for me on one fence (which I pass by occassionaly and notice it's still holding great at 5 years) and I used Timberlox oil based stain on my fence last year (can't say how that is holding yet as it hasn't been long enough).
This Ontario deck builder has many answers to any deck problems. He also has a section on laminate flooring. :)
I had this happen before 2 x's on a deck. It has to be bone dry for days before you stain. Watch out for morning dew as well.

Though it is true that our rights come from "Nature and Nature's God," there are always those would seek to deprive us of our life and liberty, our property and security. Our rights must often be claimed and even fought for — sometimes at great sacrifice.
It is right, therefore, that we mark today to honor all those who have served in the armed forces of the United States. As war with Iraq approaches, we do well to remember those who have placed their lives at risk in service to their country.
Ours is a nation born in a war of revolution, and so the veteran holds a special place in American life and history. George Washington, upon resigning his command of the Continental Army, offered a farewell message to his troops in which he offered, "in their behalf his recommendations to their grateful country, and his prayers to the God of the Armies. May ample justice be done them here, and may the choicest of heaven's favours, both here and hereafter, attend those who, under the divine auspices, have secured innumerable blessings for others."
In this spirit, we invite you to read this essay on Veterans' Day by Claremont Institute fellow Mackubin T. Owens.

Made in the USA: SerpentSea
Weaving together reclaimed sailing ropes, famous pirate names and a passion for eco-friendly DIY designs has produced some of the most gorgeous hand-woven mats, which come straight out of the U.S.A. Sophie Aschauer's labor-intensive SerpentSea floor mats boast bold colors and clean, modern lines, drawing people in from all over to appreciate her nautically-sexy designs.
Aschauer founded SerpentSea in 2011 after a sailing trip to Nantucket. She embraces the traditional knots tied by sailors for centuries and infuses a quirky homage iconic nautical culture by naming her mats after three of the most infamous pirates from the 17th century, "Bonny", "Drake" and "Morgan". We can't wait to get our hands on one of these beautifully crafted mats to add a little touch of the sea to our office!
