Here's some good news and then some good news and then some bad-ish news. The good news: Michigan is in the Sweet 16 for the second straight year. The other good news: Michigan is now the highest seed in the Midwest region. The bad-ish news: Games from here on out will probably be really tough. Teams that make it to the Sweet 16 usually have one of three things going for them; they are either really good, playing really well, or getting very lucky. In part one we discussed the teams that Michigan would potentially have to play to make another run to the Sweet 16. Now that Michigan is there, it's time to talk about the opponents that are standing between the Wolverines and another tip to the Final 4.
Sweet 16 opponent: Tennessee
Nickname: Volunteers
Colors: Orange and White
Conference: SEC
Should Michigan beat them: Either yes or no, maybe both
On one hand you have a team that finished 11-7 in a pretty bad SEC conference and barely squeaked into the tournament. On the other hand you have a team that is ranked 6th in the KenPom rankings and blew out their last two opponents on their way to the Sweet 16. Tennessee is a difficult team to figure out. They are kind of like Texas if Texas shot the ball a little bit better. Their offense revolves around chucking the ball in the vicinity of the hoop and then letting their big guys grab the ball off the glass. Big man Jarnell Stokes and guard Jordan McRae do most of the scoring for the volunteers, averaging almost 34 points a game combined. Stokes is also a beast on the glass, grabbing more than 10 boards a game. Mcrae is a big guard who can score inside and out, evidenced by his shooting a respectable 36% from deep this season. Tennessee is tough on D also, and do a good job of stopping their opponents from hitting a lot of threes.
Key to winning:
Just like with Texas, Michigan has to be very active on the glass, both defensively and offensively. Tennessee has a lot of big bodies and generate a lot of their baskets off of their own missed shots. The Wolverines will also have to work hard to get good looks at the hoop. Tennessee has some length on the perimeter which will make it difficult for the Michigan shooters to get their shots off. Stauskas and the boys will have to work hard to get open shots from the perimeter.
Elite 8 opponent: Winner of Louisville/Kentucky
Nickname: Cardinals/Wildcats
Colors: Red and White/Blue and White
Conference: AAC/SEC
Should Michigan beat them: Coin Flip
Let's begin with the higher seed.
Louisville entered the NCAA the tournament as one of the favorites to bring home the trophy, even though they are only a four seed. The ran through the AAC conference tournament without much resistance and are currently one of the hottest teams in the country. The Rick Petino led Cardinals have a stifling defense and very efficient offense led by senior guard Russ Smith. Smith averages 18.1 points per game and shoots almost 40% from three. He is joined by Luke Hancock, who Michigan fans remember from last year's championship game, and 6'8 sophomore Montrezl Harrell. Louisville is a very deep team as well, having 9 players who average 14 minutes a game or more.
Key to winning:
Spike needs to hit 10 threes this time. Just kidding (kind of). At this point of the season the key to every Michigan game is going to come down to whether or not Michigan is hitting from outside. If they are, Michigan can beat any team in the country. It's just a matter of taking care of the ball, which they usually do, and getting good looks from three. John Beilein is a master of creating game plans for each opponent, and he'll have to be on his game for Michigan to return to the Final Four.
Kentucky is a super young (duh), super athletic team with dangerous players at practically every position. Their rotation consists primarily of 6 freshmen and a sophomore. Julius Randle leads the Wildcats in scoring and rebounding. Rochester, Michigan product James Young and twins Andrew and Aaron Harrison also contribute in the scoring column. Sophomore(!) giant Willi Cauey-Stein gets most of the minutes at the center position, and averages seven points and just over six rebounds a contest.
Key to winning:
The cool thing about freshman basketball players is that they like to do freshman basketball player things. Things like turn the ball over a lot and take bad shots. Michigan needs to stay disciplined on defense and make Kentucky work for their buckets. This is a situation where Michigan's tournament experience could prove beneficial as the bright lights may cause the young Wildcats to try to do too much. I actually think Michigan would prefer to play these guys.
There you go. Should Michigan make it to the Final Four, I'll release a part three of this series. Tennessee will be a tough game that Vegas is basically calling a coin flip at this point. A rematch with Louisville would be intriguing, but so would playing the dynamic Kentucky Wildcats. Michigan has to continue knocking down threes and stay consistent on the glass if they want to make it to North Texas for the Final Four.

Leader of American pilots: Don't slow down flights
DALLAS (AP) – With American Airlines threatening legal action, the leader of the pilots' union is telling it members not to delay flights – if that's what they're doing.
Acting President Keith Wilson says the Allied Pilots Association has nothing to do with what American alleges is a work slowdown, causing many flights to be delayed or canceled.
If it's true pilots are filing frivolous maintenance write-ups and flying circuitous routes, "that activity must cease immediately," Wilson told members Thursday night.
Wilson's memo comes a day after American threatened to haul the union into court if disruptions continued.
Thursday, American canceled 100 flights – 5.4 percent of its schedule – and only 49.9 percent arrived on time, according to FlightStats.com. By midday Friday, 32 flights were scrubbed and 65 percent were on time.

no lakes inside here at all, just plastic stuff, great selection though
I love lakeland. This shop is filled with more household things than you can ever need. They don't just cover cooking and baking but also cleaning, storage and, a just a little bit, crafting. They have gadgets to do things you never even knew you needed to doing. But after once you've seen them you'll need them all. The prices aren't cheap but if you buy it from Lakeland you can be damn sure that it works and works well. Two floors of home magic!

2. The Liberty Jersey (1996 – 2007)
Ah, the liberty jersey. When the NHL introduced the third jersey during the 1995-1996 season, the Rangers left
themselves out, instead sitting out the first year of the new trend, and waiting for the next season to start.
The first time I saw the all navy blue jerseys I was amazed. The head of Lady Liberty right in the center, the crest of the jersey. Seeing Wayne Gretzky in one was awesome as well. This was about the time, where we would see the end of the Rangers in the playoffs, and having Wanye skate in the playoffs with the Rangers and wearing this jersey for the majority of the road games in the 1997 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Rangers were looking quite good with these jerseys.
Then the dry spell began, and the Rangers would fail to make the playoffs while having this as their third jersey until the 2005-2006 season, the year following the lockout, and also the first full year of Jaromir Jagr as a New York Ranger. The Rangers wouldn't wear the jersey during the post season (no team wore their alternates if they made the playoffs after the 96-97 season). Yet this jersey has been the lure of all Ranger fans alike.
During one season only, the 1998-1999 season the Rangers introduced a white version of this jersey, but to me the navy blue jersey is the best version of this jersey. The darks of the blues, and the shadows of the numbers were much crisper and nicer on the navy blue jersey.
Many fans want to see this jersey make a comeback. There is a certain stadium series happening in January, you might just have your wish come true. Time will tell.
Jerseys Playoff Appearances: 1 (Worn as an away jersey during the 1997 Playoffs)
Jerseys Stanley Cup Appearances: 0

Goodbye, Yu-na: Queen steps down from iceUpdated: 2014-05-07 11:59:30 KST
"It wasn't the rankings or points that brought me back to the ice."
"It was you, everyone - who were always there for me. Thank you."
17 years of competition on ice.
Olympic and world champion Kim Yu-na has been waiting for this moment for a very, very long time -- to close her chapter as a competitive skater.
And for her last gala, she transformed into a princess who can't sleep taking the ice with the opera Turandot -- one that she always wanted to skate to.
From her signature Yu-na camel spin to triple jumps -- her skating is flawless like it always has been.
Even though she steps down from the competitive spotlight, skaters believe unanimously that there has not been, and may never be, another perfect skater like Kim.
"I have such respect for you and for all that you've done, and to come back and skate the way you skated. It was even better. And you were, to me, the best.
You've just changed the sport. So thank you, for what you've given to the sport."
It is time to say goodbye, but it's hard for the fans to see the queen leave the ice, as she has been a mainstay of hope and inspiration to her audiences.
Kim, who already donated to the UNICEF for the Sewol-ho ferry victims, spared a minute of silence before the start of the show.
"Her performance is a great consolation to the nation, especially at a time when it's in sorrow and like now. I wish her all the best for her future."
The figure skater who always stood on the podium in every competition she entered in, now has a future entirely open to herself, in which she said, figure skating will always be some part of.
"Even after the Olympics, I trained as usual to give the best in this ice show for my fans.
As for the future, I will take things slow, take some rest as it's really over now."
"Kim Yu-na let go of her status as national skater as of Tuesday, to mark the beginning of her new life, away from competitive skating.
Song Ji-sun, Arirang News.
Reporter : firstname.lastname@example.com
Yu-na wish you the best! You are the #1 skater in the world.
Wish her all the best.


text: Donne Sali (by flora-file) So you decided to grow hot peppers and now you have way too many. Solution: make donne. Donne is a chili paste made with spicy chilies and preserved with vinegar. Ingredients: Chilis, Garlic, Salt, Vinegar Cut up chilies and garlic. Be cautious when cutting up very hot chilies. You may even want to use latex gloves. Place peppers and garlic in food processor. Add enough vinegar to allow the chilies to blend evenly. Sprinkle a small amount of salt on top. Blend until an even consistency is reached. Bottle and refrigerate. The vinegar preserves the chilies and allows the paste to stay edible for up to a year. The flavor and potency will fade over time, but usually the paste is so spicy that is is barely noticeable. For this batch I had a bunch of Cherry Bomb peppers that were ripe, which have a very nice sweet flavor but are not overly spicy (I estimate ~2000-3000 Scoville units). To put a little more punch into it I added a couple ripe habaneros. Since this mix is 'Sweet', I used rice vinegar, though normally I used distilled white vinegar for a truer flavor. Normally I grow both Thai and habanero chilies and mix them together to create my signature Rocket Blend, but this year all my Thai pepper seedlings perished and I am left with only habaneros. That means my next batch will be 100% habanero, and it will be pica!

@PLLKristen: How long did you know that Mona was going to die?
Janel Parrish: I got the call from Marlene the day before the table read for the episode It was funny because I was really nervous, you always here that when Marlene personally calls the talent, there might be something happening. So when I got the call and they said, 'I've got Marlene on the line,' I was just like 'Oh no, am I in trouble? Because I feel like I just got called into the principal's office!' And she was like, 'No you're not in trouble but I want to tell you that in the next script you are dying. But don't worry, you're not losing your job, we're still going to have you in flashbacks.'
@GraceCordy10: What was your first reaction when you found out Mona would die?
JP: Well, at first my heart stopped! But then when she said don't worry you still have a job, I was like, 'Oh okay! You can turn my character into a monkey and I'd still be fine.'
@Ayyeitszemi: How did the cast react to Mona's death?
JP: There was definitely a lot of shocked faces and people asking like, 'Oh no! Wait, are you not on the show any more?!' And I was just like, 'No no no, you're still stuck with me!' I'm still here, just in a different capacity, which is fine, and I think it will actually be a fun twist on the show.
ETonline: Do you think Mona put up a good fight before being killed off?
JP: I think she put up a great fight! As you can see there are bloody handprints everywhere and the glass was broken. I think Mona fought with every last breath she had and maybe "A" has a few scratches and bruises on whoever they are because I don't think Mona went down without a fight.
ETonline: So you think Mona definitely discovered who "A" is in the final moments before she died?
JP: She definitely saw whoever it was in the face, and now she's dead because of it.
@Louisxlie: How did you feel filming the final scene with Mona in the trunk?
JP: Honestly, it was just really hard to keep my eyes open! [Laughs] I was like okay I just have to keep my eyes open for one more second and then they'll cut, and thankfully it worked out. It wasn't eerie for me to see to see it on TV because I knew that it was just me keeping my eyes open, and I was like 'Yay! I didn't blink!' But for everybody I know, they were upset seeing me like that.
@LifeOfThaParty: If Mona didn't die what would been her next plan?
JP: Well she was definitely planning to take down Alison. I think she would've found the girls, and found the police, and found a way to nail Alison to the crimes that she believes she found evidence to. And those were all pretty good colleges, I think she would've been just fine anywhere.
@TinyHales: Do you think Mona redeemed herself after being "A"?
JP: I think that she did and I think ultimately that's why [the liars] feel so guilty, and they feel so bad that right when they decided to trust Mona and she does redeem herself, she dies. They get this text from "A saying it's all your fault, and now they're stuck with this guilt and they're wondering if there is something they could've done to help her. If they had trusted her from the very beginning, or let her in their inner circle from the very beginning, would this still have happened?
NEWS: 'PLL' Boss Spills on Tonight's 'Emotionally Challenging' Death
@Fan4me: Janel, are you in the Christmas special?
JP: I actually will be in the Christmas episode and it's going to be really fun! I get to be the ghost of Christmas past, present, and future and I have to say, the costume and the hair and make-up is going to be unbelievable. It might as well be a Halloween episode because my costume is amazing, it looks like a Halloween costume. So I think it's going to be really really cool episode, and it's going to be fun and creepy. Even though it's a Christmas special, and kind of like a fantasy episode, there are still a lot of answers to correct questions on the show. I think it's important that even though it's a special, the fans should still treat it as an episode.
ETonline: Are we going to see Mike's reaction to Mona's death and do you think that her feelings for Mike were truly genuine?
JP: You will see Mike's reaction to it and he's devastated and it's so sad because Cody has got such a puppy face. And yes, I do think that Mona's feelings for Mike were genuine—I think they had a really sweet and romantic episode andf I think that also adds to the devestation to Mona's death.
ETonline: Lastly, do you have a message you'd like to give to your fans?
JP: Yes! I want them to know that I love them so much, and not to be sad for me. They can be sad for Mona, I totally get it, but don't be sad for me because I'm not going anywhere. I love being a part of the show and I'm going to continue being a part of the show as long as they want me on there, and from what I'm hearing, that's a while. I'll be on the show and with the cast just in flashbacks and I'm totally okay with that. You have not seen the last of Mona—she will still be the crazy dynamic Mona, even after death.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Let's start at the beginning: How and when did you find out that Mona was going to die?
JANEL PARRISH: I found out the day before the table read. [Showrunner] Marlene [King] gave me a call, and I was very nervous. I was like, "Okay, I know what this means. She's calling me, the creator of the show, I'm totally dead." She was like, "Hi Janel, it's Marlene," and I was like, "Oh, am I in trouble?" And she was like, "No, you're not in trouble. I just want to let you know you're going to be getting the script tomorrow. You are being killed, but you're not being killed off the show. You still have a job, don't worry. You're going to be in flashbacks now." And I was like, "Okay, that's fine." She was like, "It's just basically what Sasha [Pieterse] did for the first three years; Alison was the flashback girl, and now that will be you." And I'm like, "Fine. I'm totally OK to fill those shoes as long as I still have a job." So truth be told, I wasn't sad at all. I'm kind of excited for this new little turn.
Were you happy with the way Mona got to go out? It was kind of epic.
Yes. Exactly. I think if Mona was going to die, that would be the way to do it. She is going to go out with a bang. So I'm so glad that her death wasn't just like, you know, something small. Like you said, she went out with a bang. She went out claws out, teeth out, bloody handprints everywhere. That girl was fighting for her life. So I was like, "Yeah, you know what, I died, but I'm proud of the way I did it."
Did you actually get to film her death scene, or did they just tell you the aftermath?
Yeah, I just saw what the aftermath looked like and I read it in the script. I read that there was blood everywhere and then I showed up to set one day and there was blood and broken glass everywhere, and I was like, "Okay, Mona fought though." I'm proud of her.
Do you know who killed you?
Well, as things always are on set, the writers never really tell us what's going on and who's who. But as far as what I personally think,…There was blond hair under that hoodie. Mona uncovered some evidence incriminating Ali and suddenly she's dead. So I think that it's Alison, and I think everyone thinks it's Alison.
I have to say: I was really really shocked with the trunk scene at the end, but I was also kind of obsessed with it. I love that the show went that dark. But I have to ask if filming it was as creepy as it looked.
It's so funny. The reason why it was not creepy was because I was focusing so hard on keeping my eyes open. I was like "Must. not. flutter. your. eyelids." So that was my thought process the entire time, just complete focus. Thank God it turned out okay. I just watched it and I was like, "Good, my eyes look dead." But no, it wasn't creepy. But it was creepy watching it for sure, with the blood on my cheek. It's just a creepy image.
Do you think that Ali has gone "full-on socio," as Mona put it?
It kind of seems like it. That girl can lie with a smile, can't she?
But I thought, in a way, Ali going crazy was vindication for Mona, who's been saying this all along.
But that's what's so sad. Like she finally looks herself in the mirror, sees her self worth after years of being bullied and just is like, "I win. I feel great. I've won this war." And then turns around and meets her death.
When I was watching it last night, I was so in the moment. And then when the episode ended, I suddenly thought, "Poor Mike!" So how is Mike going to cope with this?
Yeah, you're going to see his reaction. He's going to be very sad. He loved Mona, and I think that she really loved him. I think it was a very, very sweet romance, so it's going to be really sad when fans see how he reacts to it.
Every time I talk to Marlene, we discuss a different version of Mona—from 1.0, Loser Mona, to 4.0, etc. Who was your favorite Mona?
I don't know. I really liked Madhouse Mona. Just an actress, it was so fun to play and the scenes just made me feel like such a creep. I'd never played a character like that before, and I just really enjoyed playing with that. I enjoyed how, wherever I went, people were like, "Gosh, you're so creepy on the show." And I was like, "Thank you. I'm very proud that I can play that role correctly and that I am able to be a creepy character." I kind of enjoyed scaring people on the show for a little while. [Laughs] It was fun!
You tweeted that you will be in flashbacks even as early as the Christmas episode, correct?
Yes. The Christmas episode is going to be a really fun episode. It's kind of a fantasy type of show, but it's also still an episode where fans will get a lot of answers, so they shouldn't miss it. But yes, Mona will appear as the Ghost of Christmas Past, Present, and Future—and let me tell you, in a fantastic outfit, of course.
In terms of flashbacks, are you getting to play a spectrum of Monas? Are you revisiting multiple versions of the character?
I think that I am going to, and I'm very excited about that, because not only will it be satisfying for fans, but it will be satisfying for me. There's always been holes in Mona's history and her past, and I've always kind of had to connect the dots myself. Which is fun, but I think it will be really nice for everybody and also for me to see how Mona did things and why she did things. Mysterious Mona! Find out where she was when something happened.
You're still such a big part of the show, they probably didn't give you a goodbye gift. But my first thought when you died was, I wonder if they'll finally tell her who "A" is now.
You know, probably not, because our writers are so secretive. They are so good at that. I can tell you, throughout the years, we've all tried to be like, "So Marlene, who's 'A?'" And she's like, "No, not getting away with it." "Dammit! I tried" [Laughs]
Dry your tears, Pretty Little Liars fans, because the victim of Tuesday's fatal finale tells TVLine that she's not going anywhere. In fact, she's "excited for this new twist" on her character.
"Basically, as Alison was the flashback girl for the past three seasons, it will now be [Mona]," Janel Parrish tells us. "I think it's great! Even though Alison was 'dead' for the first three seasons, you found out everything about her through flashbacks, and now that'll be happening through Mona."
Read on for more scoop from Parrish, including what Mona will be up to in the Christmas special and what really happened during her fatal scuffle with that mysterious blonde.
TVLINE | I'm bummed about Mona's death, but does the fact that was sort of redeemed make it easier?
It does, and I think that's also what makes her death so devastating. She finally earned people's trust, not only the girls' but also the fans'. She finally came through for everyone … and then she died.
TVLINE | We didn't see the attack itself. Was there a plan to show more?
Actually, more will be seen of the fight. Mona did not go out without a struggle, and I'm very proud of her for that. If I could have chosen the way she died, it would have been that way — her fighting till her last breath.
TVLINE | Alison seemed more than a little pleased. Can you say anything about her next move?
Mmhmm, that smug smile. It definitely looks like she killed Mona, and more will unfold as time goes on. But for now, yeah, it looks like Alison did it.
TVLINE | The scene with you in the trunk probably gave some viewers nightmares. What was it like playing dead?
That was really creepy, huh? Honestly, most of it was just me trying really hard not to blink. That's what was going through my head the whole time: "Don't blink! Don't blink!"
TVLINE | Since we're seeing her in flashbacks, what else is there to tell?
It'll be satisfying for fans to get more information about Mona, since she's been such a mystery. It'll be good to see some backstory as far as she's concerned.
TVLINE | So you're still a series regular?
Yup! I'm still going to be a regular, just in a different way.
TVLINE | Will we see her in the Christmas episode?
Oh, yes, she's going to have a fun part. She's going to be the Ghost of Christmas Past, Present and Future. She gets to mess with Alison, and in a fabulous costume, I might add.
TVLINE | How will Mona's death, in the present, going to affect the girls moving forward?
It's going to be the biggest mystery moving forward in the second half of the season. It's going to affect Hanna the most; she loved her at one time. They were really close at one point, and they've always had an intense relationship, whether it be good or bad.

Simple one really. How do you verify your SIMS/FMS databases have backed up correctly?
How do you backup SIMS in the first place? Stop MSSQL copy the files, or dbattach or other?
I use DBattach via cmd line on a scheduled task. It's creating the .bak file ok. I also know in theory how to restore from this file. I just need to know if it has worked ok.
My first thoughts are to try and install SIMS on a VM that's seperate from out main network and try the restore. Would this be feasible?
Could do, create a xp VM, ask for the latest installable media. Then run dbattach with the /restoreui and copy over docstorage etc.
Won't be perfect, but should be ok for a test.
i would make a proper vm for testing purposes. it's always useful to test out the upgrades before going live, incase it's going to break something in your setup.
i even have a copy of the doc storage there. you just have to be careful with naming and connections so the two paths don't cross. i usually use a different mapped drive, and only log into the virtual box locally.
I think Cornwell LA have a "mirror" setup for that sole purpose. Basically backups the live database daily, restores onto the other database database

askforsatya Started The Discussion:
Dear All, Kindly Help me diffrence between Minimum Wage& Minimum rate? Warm Regards Satay
psrecruiter - Member Since: Apr 2007
First the difference between wages and rates. Wages is a Payment for labor or services rendered by a worker/employee, be it on hourly, daily, or weekly basis. But Rates is more of a pricing term to have a particular commodity or service. I would perceive the difference as wages are paid for services rendered by an employee who is on the companys payroll, while Rates are paid for services provided by a third party. Mostly we discuss rates for independent or third party contractors (e.g - IT contractors)
Now, Minimum wage is the lowest possible salary/ rate that an employer is allowed to pay their employees. This wage rate is determined by law so that the workers are not exploited of cheap or inexpensive labor. In India, The minimum wage concept is only for blue collard jobs not for white collard professionals.

Charles Manson is escorted to court Dec. 11, 1969, for arraignment on conspiracy charges in connection with the slayings of actress Sharon Tate and seven others. On Jan. 25, 1971, after nine days of deliberating, jurors convicted Manson and several followers of murder. Manson was sentenced to death. However, in 1972, the California Supreme Court declared the death penalty unconstitutional and Manson's sentence was reduced to life in prison.

Early in Code Black, a hospital tech quietly moves in behind a line of doctors, mopping up the blood of a patient who's died. It's an unavoidable symbol, and in the current climate of American health care, it's no surprise that Code Black—directed by Dr. Ryan McGarry, a former physician at L.A. County—feels like a personal call to arms.
At first, the documentary chronicles the shift in the dynamics of the emergency room of L.A. County Hospital after it moves to a new building and leaves behind the legendary trauma center of C Booth, a cramped cubicle with a death rate high enough to make it, foot for foot, the deadliest space in America. But with the demands of red tape and hopeless crowds, Code Black tackles what it means to be a public hospital at a crossroads in the American health care system. The ER serves as primary care for so many that overwhelming numbers can prevent efficient or even common-sense care. Amid enthusiastic doctors, some mentions of privacy requirements "killing the relationship" feel brushed aside, especially since the opinion isn't universal—a balance neatly struck by editor and writer Joshua Altman. But there's no denying the evocative waiting-room shots—and in a summer flush with horror films, the most chilling movie moment might be hearing patient wait times top out at 24 hours as someone scrolls through patients whose potentially life-threatening triage has become an overcrowded spreadsheet.
This film offers no easy answers. Instead, it uses its small scale for frustrated glimpses of a situation that's reached a tipping point. "Code black" is hospital terminology for a critical capacity of patients; it's also, McGarry points out, the state of America's health care crisis. His lingering question is equally clear: What will we do about it?

Symbicort & Advair
Advair and Symbicort are medication that patients inhale. Advair and Symbicort are part of the family of medications that doctors refer to as corticosteroids, which is a steroid medication the patient inhales. Advair and Symbicort are long acting beta agonists, which are a class of drugs that treat asthma. Advair also treats COPD, but Symbicort has not received FDA approval for the treatment of COPD.
Both Symbicort and Advair are medications that in a powder form. Both Symbicort and Advair work by reducing inflammation of the lungs while at the same time opening the airways to improve overall breathing.
Symbicort & Advair Warnings and Precautions
Patients should tell their physicians or pharmacists of their complete medical history particularly if their history includes hypertension, osteoporosis, depression, diabetes, eye conditions, heart problems, recent infections, liver issues, seizures, smoking and thyroid problems.
Use of Advair and Symbicort can affect the heart rhythms of some patients. Patients with heart conditions such as heart failure and slow heartbeat or patients with a family of heart problems should discuss their risks with a physician.
Patients taking Symbicort and Advair should avoid exposure to infection, as the body may not be able to heal as well because it is not producing enough natural steroids when patients first begin taking the medication. Patients should avoid exposure to the chicken pox or the measles. If exposure to the chicken pox or the measles does occur patients should seek medical attention right away.
Taking Symbicort and Advair may make it more difficult to notice the signs of infection and therefore can put patients at risk for developing a more serious infection. People with COPD are at a greater risk of developing pneumonia while taking Symbicort and Advair medications for treatment of their chronic breathing issues.
Using Symbicort and Advair may cause drowsiness so patients should take care when driving or operating heavy machinery.
Symbicort & Advair Uses
Doctors prescribe Symbicort and Advair for the treatment of chronic asthmas and in the case of Advair, COPD. Chronic breathing conditions respond well to treatment with Symbicort and Advair, when the patient takes the medications regularly.
Symbicort & Advair Side Effects
Common side effects of Symbicort and Advair are very similar to other inhaled medications. The common side effects include irritation of the throat, hoarseness, rapid heartbeat, cough, dry mouth and throat and occasionally upset stomach.
More serious side effects include white patches on the tongue or in the mouth, increasing thirst or urination, persistent weight gain, vision issues such as blurry vision, shaking and severe muscle cramping.
Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they develop an allergic reaction such as a rash, itching or swelling of the face, tongue or throat, severe dizziness or trouble breathing. Rarely patients experience a sudden worsening of breathing issues. If this happens patients should use their emergency inhaler and seek immediate medical attention.
Symbicort & Advair Interactions
Patients should avoid taking MAO inhibitors within two weeks before and after treatment with Symbicort or Advair. Patients currently taking Symbicort or Advair also should not take any MAO inhibitors.
Patients should inform their doctor or pharmacist of any and all medications they are currently taking including all over the counter medications and herbal supplements so that they can avoid any dangerous drug interactions.
Drugs that can influence the way Symbicort and Advair work in the body include nefazodone, telithromycin, azole antifungals, macrolide antibiotics and HIV protease inhibitors.
Symbicort & Advair Overdose
Patients can suffer from an overdose of Symbicort and Advair. Symptoms of overdose include seizures, chest pain, fainting, severe muscle cramps and a fast or irregular heartbeat. If there is a suspicion of Symbicort or Advair overdose patients should seek immediate medical attention.

Your concerns about the discussions here are of no consequence. Israel will "win" at least in the short term.

Thankfully, there were only two spies and Merkel caught them both. No criminal proceedings are forthcoming (again, look forward here). They are simply sent home after sitting by the pool, sipping on their drinks and waiting for the limo to the airport.
Surely, by now the US Government has disconnected all the microphones and has given up surveilling our dear German friends.
If only the Germans hadn't been so tight with their strudel recipes.

hackworth1 commented on the blog post Richard Mellon Scaife (1932-2014)
I know a Florida kid whom is attending Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh on a scholarship. He is studying engineering. Nice, quiet well-mannered young man.
The kid's family is a bunch of Republican bigots.
He found a Jewish girlfriend at college and the family doesn't like her mostly b/c she is Jewish (and not rich enough). Of course, few girls could likely meet the family's approval. (WASPY Millionaire's daughter with a pedigree, perhaps.)
Anyway. Carnegie Mellon. Another Ivy League Right Wing Institution. If the parents and grandparents cannot impose Hard Right Dogma on a kid, the college will surely endeavor to do so.
Good Riddance to one Mellon-Scaife. What a prick.

Federal, State and Local Government often demonstrates amazing creativity in generating tax revenue – provided that this revenue is to be squeezed from peons only.
Just look how creative they were in taxing waitresses' tips.

Birth Control must be addressed in tandem with economic conditions and economic systems. Runaway population growth in conjunction with environmental destruction (for profit or otherwise) will destroy the planet. The cold reality is that poverty is a control mechanism on explosive population growth.
If the poor are "comforted", there will be many more successful births. Numerous births – the sign of macho verility and female fertility are prized virtues among the world's poor. The last thing the world needs (besides environmentally destructive and greedy millionaires and billionaires) is more births.
The Catholic Church, Christian Doctrine, and Islam, etc. are all gung ho about increased population.
Stupid, Ignorant, anti-science and anti-progress.

shaking off the dust with a bit of discworld warmups
Took a while and I was getting really tired towards the end so I rushed it but hey, its Sam Vimes from The Watch and he's done or something. I like Vimes, he's like if Clint Eastwood and Vin Diesel had a lovechild, and he is one of my favourite characters from the Discworld series, plus a few people were badgering me for a picture of him or something maybe.
Thanks to everyone who watched me paint this on livestream today, it was heaps of fun and yeah, lets do it again sometime when its not 1 am for everyone in the northern hemisphere.
Small Gods by Terry Pratchett is one of my favourite books so here is a picture of the Great God Om and his humble human servant Brutha, this is basically a re do of a much older artwork I did which is pretty shitty now
i will post more from SDCC later but this was my favorite cosplay I think. They gave out Ankh Morpork stamps!

They are currently calling it WordML -- it seems to be just a kind of "RTF-with-tags" and some MS-metadata. Tim wrote about it here some time back ... http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200210/msg01357.html The surprise is that -- in addition to "WordML" -- you can have your *own* vocabulary, import it into Word (or Excel) via XSLT, then save the data back out into the original format! In other words, if you are dealing purely with the formatting level, save as WordML; if data, save as your ML. Either, or both. There were a few drawbacks, though. First, it doesn't have a clue about DTDs. You *have* to have a WXS schema for your vocabulary. So, if you data has a DTD, you've got to use some other utility to convert that to an XSD. Then you have to write an XSLT transform for the import (I didn't get to see a sample of the XSLT). With the exception of the WXS-exclusivity aspects, I was quite impressed.

Good finger foods for a party?
- brookelynn8686 Feb 4, 2012 06:13 PM
I will be having some fellow classmates over to my house for a little get together in a few weeks. I wanted to serve a few finger food type things. We are all in pharmacy school, so we don't have an enormous budget at the moment :) I am a foodie, but the rest of the gang isn't so much, so just simple, easy dishes are the plan.
I was thinking of doing a black bean and corn salsa or something like that, or maybe hummus and veggies and pita. Any ideas fellow chowhounders??
Oh and possible a non-alcoholic beverage? Most punch recipes I see are way to sugar laden, I like more light drinks. Thanks again!!
there was a pretty good finger food thread not too long ago, might have some good ideas for ya in there:
you can't go wrong with cheese and bread or crackers and olives. You can make punch with diet ginger ale or diet soda of your choice... that cuts down on the sugar. I also like real orange juice mixed with diet soda. It cuts the calories down by half. Ice tea is always nice. Just make sure to serve with sugar on the side for people who like it sweet.
re: danionavenue
As an avid hot and cold tea drinker.. could make a suggestion about the tea? Instead of offering sugar with iced tea, I would offer a simple syrup. Sugar doesn't dissolve well in cold tea, but simple syrup works well. You can even make the simple syrup with tea (instead of water) so it doesn't dilute the tea. Boil 1 cup of tea with 1 cup of sugar while stirring. When the liquid clears, take it off and cool. It's much nicer than trying to get sugar to dissolve in the cold liquid.
I second the idea of good cheese....
Also, tarts, sweet or savory. Brie and caramelized onions with a bit of thyme is very tasty.
Get canned pinneapple rings. Cut them in cubes (1 inch), slice some bacon in half, for two short pieces or even in thirds, to save a little $$. Wrap each cube of pineapple in bacon, bake for 10 minutes or so in a 425 degree oven.
You can do the same with water chestnuts.
I make a black bean salsa, with 2 chopped tomatoes, 2 chopped avacadoes, 1 bell pepper, 1 red onion, 1 bag of frozen corn, thawed, 2 cans of drained black beans and a bunch of chopped cilantro. Make a dressing with 3 T. apple cider vinegar, 3 T. lime juice, 6 T. olive oil, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Toss everything in a bowl........ it's delicious. Serve with scoops.
Here are some easy ideas:
phyllo cups filled with chicken salad
put a cherry tomato, basil, and small ball of mozz on a stick....drizzle with evoo and balsamic
take a tube of crescent rolls and pinch seams together. top with marinara and provolone. roll like a jelly roll and cut into 16 slices. top with 1 slice pepperoni and some mozz. bake for 8-10 minutes.
Sandwich spirals--I think they're a fantastic-tasting, easy treat in terms of a finger food. Cocktail shrimp is another relatively simplistic favorite of mine. Hmmm....you may also want to consider bite-sized desserts?
Lemonade and iced tea should do it, with something hot to drink an option if it's colder where you're at. You might want to offer the sugar-laden punch just in case, however. I've noticed it tends to draw the non-adventurous crowd rather well.
re: Nattomi
re: sandwich spirals:
these are even better when you make a large, circular, homemade italian seasoned loaf to put the sandwich on. i enjoy making bread from scratch so ill normally make it myself, but it also works out really well with (gasp!) pillsbury dough from a tube. just form it into a ring and brush the top with some melted butter, and sprinkle some garlic powder and sea salt on the top pre-baking. makes a DELICIOUS sandwich, and normally guests are pretty impressed that you baked bread. even if they arent foodies.
at my house we like to fill this bread with turkey, bacon, avocado, tomato, arugula, and balsamic
re: mattstolz
Not sure what you mean.... sandwich spirals... aren't they the tortilla (or similar flat bread), spread with something, then rolled up and sliced... hence the spirals?
I'm having a hard time picturing what you are talking about with forming dough into a ring? Like a large bagel?
re: wyogal
ah in that case, i am just talking about a circular sandwich ring haha sorry!
re: mattstolz
But, it sounds good. I just saw someone on a cooking show or magazine do a sandwich ring. They left the bottom of the loaf whole, filled it, the put the top piece on that was already cut into servings. It makes it easier to cut through and not mangle the look.
re: wyogal
yup! thats what i do at my house too!
If you're willing to invest a little effort but want to wow your guests, make some cheese-olive balls.
Raspberry-Brie RITZ Toppers
Prep Time:
15 min
Total Time:
17 min
12 servings, 2 topped crackers each
What You Need!
24 RITZ Crackers
12 slices Deli Shaved Honey Ham, halved
4 oz. Brie cheese, cut into 24 small pieces
2 Tbsp. raspberry preserves
2 Tbsp. chopped Pistachios
Make It!
HEAT broiler. Top crackers with ham, folding as needed to fit crackers; cover with cheese.
BROIL, 4 inches from heat, 1 min. or until cheese begins to melt.
TOP with preserves and nuts.
For variety, substitute fig jam for the raspberry preserves.
Easy No-Broil Preparation
These fruity Brie toppers are equally delicious without broiling. Assemble as directed, then serve at room temperature.
Special Extra
Garnish with small rosemary sprigs just before serving.
Budgetary concerns in mind...
-Bonnie's Buffalo Chicken Dip - i often use canned chicken from Trader Joe's, ranch dressing and a cheddar/jack cheese combo... great with bread cubes
-Mini quesadillas - cut in tiny wedges
-Stuffed potato skins -- cheese, veggies, whatever you feel like

With 'Hidden Tuscany,' author John Keahey continues journey on less-visited pathways of Italy
For the record, John Keahey is not the kind of guy who has had his photo taken standing next to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. You know the photo, where you hold your hands up so it looks as if you're keeping the tower from falling over.
Not that he thinks a serious traveler is a traveler who is always serious. But he does think of himself as a traveler, not a tourist. He prefers the piazza less traveled, and if the road that gets there happens to be a rutted path up an Italian hillside where few tourists have wandered, all the better.
Keahey, who was a reporter and editor for The Salt Lake Tribune for 22 years, is the author of four books about Italy, the most recent published this month by St. Martin's Press. "Hidden Tuscany" chronicles his travels in 2012 through the less-visited, western part of the popular Italian region.
The irony of being a travel writer who writes about "hidden" places, of course, is that if enough people follow your lead, the places can become overrun with tourists.
But Keahey's books aren't guidebooks. He doesn't rate a place with stars; there are no street maps or lists. There may be the name of an occasional hotel or restaurant, but he doesn't mean to say you should necessarily visit it. Find your own places, he says.
"I like to think of this book simply as a guide to being a traveler," he says in the afterword of "Hidden Tuscany." "Pick a destination, carry a map so you can get back to your resting place each evening, and set out each morning with no agenda."
And if you do happen to have an agenda, "be willing to abandon it if something else draws your interest," he says. "If you come to a fork in the road, flip a coin to decide which one to take."
His love affair with Italy didn't begin till he was 40, although even when he was in grade school in southwest Idaho he was drawn to far-off places. He'd walk the two miles to the library in Nampa and sit for hours poring over the sepia-toned stereoscopic cards of Europe. He especially liked the scenes of peasant farmers threshing wheat or driving donkey carts.
It's what he figured Italy still looked like — until he finally visited in 1986. He has returned to Italy again and again, and in the late 1990s wrote a book retracing the footsteps of the Victorian-era novelist and travel writer George Gissing, from Naples down the boot and then east. "A Sweet and Glorious Land" was published by Thomas Dunne Books, an imprint of St. Martin's Press, in 2000. Dunne himself has been Keahey's champion ever since.
His next book, "Venice Against the Sea," detailed how the fabled city is sinking. It was hardly a blockbuster, which is a shame, given its timely topic and its thorough exploration of remedies. (Keahey hopes it will get an updated second edition.) His third book, "Seeking Sicily," was published in 2011.
Keahey knows Italian but admits he's better at listening than speaking; still, he easily makes friends on these journeys and learns stories about the villages he wanders through. In "Hidden Tuscany" there is a story about the now nearly abandoned village of Sant'Anna di Stazzema, and it's a heartbreaker.
Catherine Weller, new-book buyer at Weller Book Works in Trolley Square, admires Keahey's painstaking research ("He doesn't skim across the top, he digs deep," she says) coupled with the books' good pacing and up-close details. "It's really intimate writing."
Keahey's books are the quiet travelogues of a man who enjoys simply traipsing, or sitting on a stone wall gazing at the countryside, or sitting in companionable silence with some other retired men smoking a cigar. It's a book written by a man who loves history and a good plate of pasta.
It's not flashy prose. But if you're the kind of traveler, like Keahey, who is enraptured by an olive grove or a field of sunflowers, or a line of cypress trees on an Italian hillside, you will find contentment in these pages.

Cassandra Pelton of Ludowici shot a personal-best score, securing first place and solidifying her status as the state champion at both the Junior Olympic Archery Development State Indoor Championships and the Georgia Archery Association Indoor Championships.
The events were held Feb. 15-16 in Austell.
Pelton was one of three archers representing the Evans County J.O.A.D team. Eighty-nine archers competed in the J.O.A.D. competition Saturday, which consisted of shooting 60 arrows for score at 18 meters on a 40-centimeter target face. On Sunday, for the G.A.A. competition, there were 76 archers who competed, again shooting 60 arrows for score at a distance of 18 meters, on a 40cm target face.
Pelton, an Olympic recurve archer, took the championship trophy in both competitions, while her teammate Sarah Thomas, a compound archer from Claxton, earned second place in the J.O.A.D. competition and third place in the G.A.A. competition.
Pelton's other teammate, Todd Edgar, from Cobbtown, shooting an Olympic recurve, overcame equipment failure and placed third in the J.O.A.D. competition and earned first place and a state-champion title in the G.A.A. competition Sunday.
Edgar and Pelton are training this week and preparing to compete in the J.O.A.D. Indoor Nationals and National Archery Association Indoor Nationals, in which they will compete for three days, shooting 180 arrows for score against top archers from the Southeast.
The competition is this weekend at the Archery Learning Center in Snellville.

amyruffles said: Dear Rebecca, I'm a 3rd year Fine Art student; My work explores the everyday domestic scenes that girls share with their pets. I'm interested in capturing the innocence of the relationship between them. I'm particularly interested in 'hyper-cute' and 'kitsch' imagery. I've been exploring your paintings for artist research & to put my work into some kind of context. I was wondering what it is about animals that intrigues you enough to include them in your compositions? Thanks, Amy
That's great that you're doing research about your subject matter. I paint animals simply because I love them and feel we are lucky enough to share the Earth with them. They've been around longer, and each one of them, I feel, is so unique - each with a personality. I spend so much time alone as an illustrator and my two animals keep me company everyday. I'm sure that plays a part in why I am drawn to painting them. :)

kendyllhillegas said: Your work is lovely - the animals, the expressions, the feelings. Also that life-size piece is amazing! Have you worked on that scale often? How was it?
HI! Thank you so much :) I don't work lifesize that often, because I never plan paintings, I change colors over and over again, and painting lifesize is so time and paint consuming. Maybe I should plan better!

CEDAR LAKE | The Hanover School Board recently approved a facility assessment study and will consider contracting for a proposed demographics study.
The consultant expected to appear before the board to talk about the study couldn't make the October meeting, so he has rescheduled for this month, Superintendent Thomas Taylor said.
The demographics study could provide information about growth in enrollment and allow district officials to plan for capital projects.
A facilities assessment study was approved last month and awarded to Skillman Corp., the contractor which oversaw the construction of Hanover Middle School.
