Mononucleosis is a viral infection causing fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph glands, especially in the neck.
See also: Infectious mononucleosis
(acute CMV infection)
Mono; Kissing disease
Mononucleosis, or mono, is often spread by saliva and close contact. It is known as "the kissing disease," and occurs most often in those age 15 to 17. However, the infection may develop at any age.
Mono is usually linked to the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), but can also be caused by other organisms such as cytomegalovirus (CMV).
Mono may begin slowly with fatigue, a general ill feeling, headache, and sore throat. The sore throat slowly gets worse. Your tonsils become swollen and develop a whitish-yellow covering. The lymph nodes in the neck are frequently swollen and painful.
A pink, measles-like rash can occur and is more likely if you take the medicines ampicillin or amoxicillin for a throat infection. (Antibiotics should NOT be given without a positive Strep test.)
Symptoms of mononucleosis include:
Less frequently occurring symptoms include:
The doctor or nurse will examine you. This may show that you have:
Blood tests will be done, including:
The goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms. Steroid medicine (prednisone) may be given if symptoms are severe.
Antiviral drugs such as acyclovir have little or no benefit.
To relieve typical symptoms:
You should also avoid contact sports while the spleen is swollen (to prevent it from rupturing).
The fever usually drops in 10 days, and swollen lymph glands and spleen heal in 4 weeks. Fatigue usually goes away within a few weeks, but may linger for 2 to 3 months.
Death is possible in people who have a weakened immune system.
The initial symptoms of mono feel very much like a typical viral illness. It is not necessary to contact a health care provider unless symptoms last longer than 10 days or you develop the following:
Call 911 or go to an emergency room if you develop:
Persons with mononucleosis may be contagious while they have symptoms and for up to a few months afterwards. How long someone with the disease is contagious varies. The virus can live for several hours outside the body. Avoid kissing or sharing utensils if you or someone close to you has mono.

Post subject: installing wifi adapter
My laptop has an onboard wifi adapter, intel pro/wireless 2915abg. support has been discontinued.
I have been reading the installation guide downloaded from the intel download site through sourceforge but there is a caveat:
The installation guide makes referencing to enabling some #define attributes in this file:
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/linux/autoconf.h
but i cannot find the file in blag 140k. the file configures wireless properties.
can anyone help me out please? I have to have networking up on my system otherwise am in despair.

First blag is a 100% free distro so you won't find any non-free firmware on its repo.
Second: blag runs with a kernel linux-libre so its kernel won't load a non-free firmware.
So you'll have to find the firmware on fedora repos (rpmfusion non-free) and install a kernel that isn't free.
Blaggers aren't here to encourage such practices!
Blag'em up!

blag is supposed to drive every hardware, whatever the manc. especially one coming from intel.
so, how do you advice i drive or enable this wifi adapter using blag. i appreciate the principles of blag. i do dig such principles myself, especially where linux has so many forks.

No! Blag is a 100% free distro; so it doesn't run out-of-the box with hardware that needs non-free firmware.

I refuse to believe that Blag or any linux distro that is gnu/linux should not run an intel wifi adapter.
it's unbelievable.

wonder what your authority is on blag?
i would be pleased. i know there is a way. if you can't someone can. the impossible is just one integer away from the limits of the possible.
help me understand the limitations of gnu/linux, please, then i will understand what options i have. thanks. nice day

A 100% free distro doesn't have non-free firmware in its repo. I can't tell you any more about that.

read the guidelines. there were no references to modules in the kernel.
I ran modprobe and lsmod some days ago on my system.
I also ran this command minutes after logging off this forum:
dmesg | grep ipw2200 and received this output:
[ 26.546871] ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.2.2kmprq

can it help in anyway. I am still reading up on bash reference but in weeks will be up with linux networking proper.
although there was no reference to firmware in the guidelines or to modules in the kernel, I can see there is something like "deblobbed" in the report above.
can you put me through on this, along with the lines accompanying it.
I'll then make decisions from then.
tnx for the link. cheerio.

Yes, I can! It won't work with a linux-libre as I said before because the kernel is deblobed and won't load non-free firmware. But it seems you don't want to understand what I say.

understand perfectly, especially with the link provided.
either use another modem with free drivers or use a non-free distro.
please, can you give me a link to a forum or community where one can ask questions about free software; been at fsf site; can't find any forum and don't have the money for membership yet.
please do. tnx once again

There is the social network:
and some mailing lists and IRC channels.
But you know I've a VAIO that has intel pro wireless wifi card; so I installed a non-free kernel and the non-free firmware and like that I can use the wifi if I need it and I use it 100% free when I connect with ethernet cable with a kernel linux-libre. Just installed two kernels: the kernel linux-libre and the fedora one.
PS: you may too join us on blag IRC channel: irc.indymedia.org channel #blag.

yeah, i intend doing the same. I'll install fedora 17 on another partition soonest but i think i prefer blag for experimental purposes. i like simplicity and that is what blag gives.
Posted: Sun Aug 05, 2012 12:17 pm
Post subject:
No need to install fedora with dual boot, just install a fedora kernel and the intel pro wireless firmware. If you need the wifi at boot you may chose the non-libre kernel; if not you may boot on linux-libre kernel.
Blag'em up!

Post subject: re: adapter
that's interesting. thanks for the insight. that means both kernels share the same environment and same programs? never thought that was possible. well, that's for noobs.
will search for a link on net for it.

Frank Martin shocked the college basketball world when he left Kansas State to take the head coaching job at South Carolina. His first two seasons in Columbia, however, have not gone as planned. Now is not the time to panic, though, as Martin will need some time to implement his successful system that saw him get Kansas State to the tournament on a number of different occasions. Martin's 2014 recruiting class is highlighted by point guard Marcus Storman. Storman will join second leading scorer from last year Sindarius Thornwell in the Gamecock backcourt.
The South Carolina Gamecocks last appeared in the NCAA tournament way back in 2004. Their conference winning 2009 season was only rewarded with NIT bid because of a weak overall schedule. Notable Gamecock alumni include eight time NBA all star Alex English.

2006 Carl Bertelsmann Prize: Active Aging in Economy and Society.
Our society needs a change of direction — stimulate and encourage the employment of older people
With the 2006 Carl Bertelsmann Prize, the Bertelsmann Stiftung aims to accelerate the paradigm shift needed in Germany and invigorate society's shift toward a more value-generating engagement and activity of older people in business and society.Project Description
What's new
Finnish program receives 2006 Carl Bertelsmann Prize
The Bertelsmann Stiftung is identifying ways to end the difficulties older workers have in finding employment in Germany. This year's prize also recognizes exemplary approaches from Australia, Great Britain and the Netherlands.more
Looking abroad: Active aging in SWEDEN
Here we compile and evaluate findings on the employment situation for seniors in the context of demographic change for seven countries. In particular, we look at the specific political measures for promoting active aging through gainful employment and civic engagement. Each week we will post the results from one country. Our first three installments dealt with Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands. This week, we focus on Switzerland, a country that tops the OECD rankings in terms of employment of seniors. Why do Switzerland's elderly have above average labor market participation rates?

For centuries, women have changed their hair to achieve all types of looks. The flat iron stems from an invention born in 1872 when Erica Feldman used heated rods to straighten her hair. In 1909, Isaac K Shero patented the first hair straightener which was built with two flat irons that were heated and pressed together.
While there have been many variations over the years, today's flat irons are far more advanced than these early predecessors.
If you are looking for the best hair straightener reviews to help you make a wiser decision, you have come to the right place. Time is precious. Why waste time going through hundreds of flat iron models where in the end, only a handful of them matters to you?
This site exists for the primary purpose of helping beauty afficionados like yourself, find the ultimate hair straighteners. In addition to the individual hair straightener review, here are few of the most important considerations that anyone should keep in mind when they are thinking and hunting for a good hair straightening tool.
Types of Flat Irons
There are so many ways to straighten hair, but the quality of the straightener makes all the difference.
In some hair straightener reviews, it is common to find some users claiming about how certain flat irons work so effectively. One pass maybe all it takes for certain hair straighteners to produce perfectly shiny, pin straight lock of hair. This is while other models may require several passes which can be as many as 5 passes.
Does such claim hold any truth? Yes and No. Yes because the effectiveness of a flat iron is determined by the type of hair that it is put to work on. Do not be surprised that after you decide to purchase the model in review only to find that it does not work as effectively.
Your hair thickness, dryness and curls may be different from the hair of the reviewers. Similarly, it is common for certain hair straighteners that have been given poor rating only to exceed the buyers' expectation.
Generally, flat irons or hair straighteners can be broken down into categories by type of plate and size. The most common types of material used to make flat iron plates include Ceramic, Titanium and Tourmaline.
The plate size is often defined by its width. Generally, they can be categorized into small (0.5- to 1-inch), medium (1- to 1.5-inch) and large (1.5- to 3-inch). Which size is ideal for you? Let's get down right to it shortly.
Flat irons also vary by temperature. Some of the best hair straighteners like HSI Professional can heat up to as high as 450° Farenheit. However, what differentiates the best from average models is not the peak temperature itself but the flexibility to let you control the temperature to your desired range.
For example, Onei MK-I Halo lets you adjust the plate temperature between 140° to 450° Farenheit. But when it comes to technology, ghd hair straighteners belong to a class of their own as they feature automatic temperature control. The company claims that their flat irons have the built-in intelligence to determine the optimal temperature fot the hair it is working on and adjust the plate temperature accordingly.
Ceramic vs Titanium vs Tourmaline: What is the Best Hair Straightener Material?
Ceramic Flat Irons
Ceramic flat irons are the standard now if you want a decent type of hair straightener. These irons heat hair from the inside whereas older metal plated straighteners heat hair from the outside.
The difference is that metal plated irons cause more damage. Ceramic irons use infrared heat to quickly heat up hair.
Many ceramic irons are also called ionic ceramic straighters, this means that any electrical charge is neutralized by the straightener, which may allow for a shinier, smoother finish.
A good number of ceramic hair straighteners have also been combined with tourmaline and titanium to give the best results.
Titanium Flat Irons
Titanium flat irons can reach higher heat levels, which means they can straighten hair faster and even have a smoother finish.
Some ceramic flat irons even combine with titanium plates, but one issue is still a problem for household users. Since titanium flat irons heat up rapidly, they may damage hair more from frequent use.
Tourmaline Flat Irons
Tourmaline is a precious gem that is crushed into a fine powder and typically added to ceramic plated flat irons.
The tourmaline charges up when heated and attracts impurities like smoke, pollutants and perfumes. It also produces more negative ions than a regular ceramic plate flat iron. This results in smoother hair with less damage.
What Good Hair Straightener Reviews should Tell You
There are some basic principles to understand that will help you pick out the best hair straightener for your hair type and straightening goals.
Size of Plate
If you have shorter hair of this type, you can buy a smaller flat iron with about a 1-inch plate, but if you have long hair, you should go closer to 2 inches.
Thick, Curly and Coarse Hair
These hair types are the most difficult to straighten and require over 380 degrees of heat in most cases to get hair completely smooth and straight. Titanium and tourmaline hair straighteners work the best for these hair types.
Normal, Medium and Wavy Hair
While this hair is less difficult to straighten, you still need to apply a good amount of heat between 340 and 380 degrees. Ceramic, titanium and tourmaline straighters will work for your hair.
Thin and Fine Hair
You want to keep your temperature below 360 degrees and should only use ceramic hair straighteners.
What You Should Know About Hair Straightening
While hair straightening is very popular, there are some warnings to adhere to. In fact, providing such guidance is something that good hair straightener reviews should strive for.
Many studies on hair health conclude that hair straightening actually leads to frizzier hair.
In other cases, hair straightening led to an increase in hair falling out. One doctor explains that this is because older straighteners took at least 20 minutes to heat up to a desired temperature, but now straighteners go from 0 to 400 degrees in a matter of minutes.
Studies show that any heat over 356 degrees Fahrenheit will cause damage to the hair cuticle or the protective coating on each strand of hair.
These are no doubt issues that you should be concerned about. That is why as far as your budget permits, skimping on you flat iron is the last thing you want to do. While cheap flat irons tend to come with higher risk of doing damage to your hair, the best hair straighteners have been designed to minimize such risk.
The Bottomline
I always believe that there is no free lunch in the world. Personal grooming might just be the most essential part that many ladies professionals tend to overlook. But when it comes to doing your hair, it is good to understand the basic trade-off and risks associated with it.
If you need a major makeover, the best option is still to trust the professional. But if you simply want to straighten or curl your hair just to make sure you look fresh, consider getting the best hair straighteners.
If you have the means, do not skimp on your flat iron. After all, good flat irons are supposed to last for many years and they will prove their worth over time. But if you are really tight on budget, basic entry-level models are good alternatives but make sure you are extra cautious about it.

Spelt is a close cousin of wheat. It has been used in Europe since about 5000 B.C. but has only recently gotten popular in America as a delicious and healthy grain for people to use like they use ordinary wheat.
Spelt flour has a somewhat nuttier and slightly sweeter flavor than whole wheat flour. Since spelt is easier to digest, in can often be tolerated by people with wheat sensitivities; however it does contain some gluten and cannot be used for people with gluten allergies.
You can use it to make bread and it turns out almost as well as with wheat, although it doesn't have as much gluten as hard wheat so it probably will not rise quite as high.

A few questions when you say "bump IT" what do you mean by "IT"?
It's really hard to put ram in backwards because of how the notches line up, more probable is that it's just not seated properly, all you need to do is seat it again.
Also, those MOLEX connectors to the Mobo are pretty robust, I would imagine that you just need to unplug it and plug it back in. The really surprising thing is that you say if you bump "it" it turns back on, but that shouldn't happen, the only thing that can do that is the power button jumpers on the mobo, to my knowledge.
To me this all still sounds salvageable.

What The Law Says
Employers' responsibilities regarding discrimination are set out in a number of Acts of Parliament and regulations.

The following list of legislation relates to the content of this section of the website.
- Equal Pay Act 1970
- Sex Discrimination Act 1975
- Race Relations Act 1976
- Disability Discrimination Act 1995

Download relevant legislation and regulations
Justifying discrimination: is it ever lawful?
Employers may sometimes believe that discrimination can be justified. Typical examples include:
- advertising a position as being only open to women as it involves providing intimate care to elderly female residents of a care home
- dismissing somebody because they have reached normal retirement age
- believing that a woman who has been absent on maternity leave is entitled to a performance-related bonus for that period.
An employer's belief that discrimination is justified is no guarantee that it actually is lawful.
There are certain circumstances where some types of discrimination can be justified. But the exceptions are very narrow and they will be strictly interpreted by any court or tribunal. There is also variation in the exceptions depending on what type of discrimination is alleged.
Under certain limited circumstances – especially those known as genuine occupational requirements (GORs) and genuine occupational qualifications (GOQs) – discrimination may be lawful.
If you believe that you have a situation which might arise within an exception, we would recommend that you take professional advice.
Liability and legal responsibility
As employers, service providers are legally responsible for the discriminatory acts of the people they employ if the acts are committed in the course of employment, even where those acts are done without either the authority or knowledge of the employer.
Any discrimination or harassment by an individual employee in the course of his or her employment is treated as also being done by the employer, and therefore both employee and employer are liable.
If the employer can show it took all reasonably practicable steps to prevent the discrimination or harassment from occurring, the employee alone will be liable. This is called a 'reasonable steps' defence.
This means that liability for discrimination or harassment depends on several questions:
- Who was the employer?
- Who was the employee?
- Was the discrimination or harassment committed in the course of employment?
- Had the employer taken reasonable steps to prevent it?
The answers to these questions are not always immediately obvious. For example, the definition of 'employer' is wider in discrimination cases than it is in cases of unfair dismissal, and 'in the course of employment' might include circumstances such as Christmas parties, where someone is off duty but still in a work-related situation.
Types of discrimination in employment
- direct discrimination
- indirect discrimination
- victimisation
- harassment
- not making reasonable adjustments
- instructions and pressure to discriminate
- segregation
Direct discrimination
An example of direct discrimination in employment would be requiring that job applicants have a particular national origin.
Indirect discrimination
An example of indirect discrimination in employment would be stating in a job advertisement that candidates must be over six feet tall. This could indirectly discriminate against women, who are less likely to fulfil this requirement.
Similarly, a rule against wearing headgear at work could indirectly discriminate against Sikh men who wear turbans in accordance with their religious practice.
An example of victimisation in employment would be if a person who has made a discrimination complaint against an employer is then discouraged from applying for training or promotion because of the complaint.
Examples of workplace harassment might include:
- making unfounded threats or comments about someone's job security
- unwelcome sexual advances – touching, standing too close, display of offensive pictures
- deliberately blocking someone's opportunities for promotion or training.
Not making reasonable adjustments
The Disability Discrimination Act requires employers to make adjustments to working practices and environments where necessary. This is so that people with disabilities are not disadvantaged. Common examples of workplace adjustments include:
- laying out furniture so that a wheelchair user can move freely around your office
- providing a toilet designed for disabled people
- providing speech recognition software to help someone with motor difficulties use your IT systems.
Instructions and pressure to discriminate
Employers must not tell people to discriminate or put pressure on them to do so. For example, if a GP instructed his receptionist not to register anyone who might need help from an interpreter, this would constitute an instruction to discriminate.
Segregation is physically separating someone from others because of their gender, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, disability, belief or religion.
For example, women might be given restricted access to careers advice, work-experience placements and training opportunities for certain jobs, which are seen as being traditionally male.
Getting help and advice with legal issues
See Choosing your advisers very carefully for advice on where to get legal advice as an employer.

Ambiguous group with unknown special powers or knowledge that someone refers to for the purpose of intimidation.
I am going to call the Authorities...

The worst position a legal aldult could have.
von Muhahahanafawnabanana 18. Juni 2005
Something that is widely misunderstood by many ignorant teenagers, dumb skaters, and clueless punks. Knowledge is power, and the authorities of our time have that power, so instead of being morons who have good intentions but don't know a fucking thing about the polotics behind authority, lets all actually go pick up a book, or become and activist and TAKE DOWN THE FUCKING SYSTEM. All of these cockfucks posting about how we "need authority" are bullshitters and close minded dickheads at best. The only thing we "need" in this world is common sense, and therefore authority won't have to provide us with it. Wake up people, and stop being a dickless puppet of the system that many of you claim to "hate".
The authorites and powers that be have seen it fit to convict innocent marijuana smokers, concious objectors, and activists of crimes and therefore put them in a little manmade thing called prison. Authority is mostly a byproduct of greed and facism.

All the most fabulous shoes spotted on the FROW at New York, London, Milan and Paris fashion weeks, whether they were towering heels or elegant wedgettes, had one common denominator: they were all sparkling white!
The white shoe trend has been simmering since last spring/summer when sporty catwalk looks called for futuristic white wedges and minimal tailoring for parred-down pristine stilettos, and then when autumn/winter '12 arrived white shoes stayed in fashion favour.
Now, as the spring/summer '13 collections arrive in store, every fashionista worth her salt has bagged a pair of white shoes, and whilst some brave ladies are wearing theirs with bare feet and trousers, or even bare legs with skirts and dresses (in this weather, they must be crazy!!) other (frankly more sensible) gals have been sporting their white shoes with black opaque tights and pop-socks.
We're crediting Carine Roitfeld with setting the trend for this monochrome look, she braved the snow at New York fashion week by teaming her Gianvito Rossi metal toe-cap white stilettos with black tights and an uber chic trench coat.
Followed swiftly by a number of New York fashionistas working their white stilettos and platform sandals with jeans and tailored trouser looks- all with black socks! Winter-weather friendly and chic? We're sold!
The best news is: invest in a pair of white shoes now and they'll take you from spring, to summer and beyond, and the styling options are endless!
For a head-turning monochromatic look try wearing white shoes with skinny tailored trousers and a printed sweater, or mix in a blue denim shirt. Great with black leather too, try your white shoes with second skin leather trousers or a pencil skirt.
And when the warmer weather finally arrives, white shoes are the perfect partner for spring/summer '13's colourful prints. Score!

The My Father Le Bijoux is a good cigar. It's balanced, filled with all the familiar flavors of Nicaraguan tobacco we've all come to know and love in a modern day premium cigar. It's filled with well aged tobacco, lacking any hint of immaturity, and well blended to perfect balance. Lots of of chocolate notes with a tangy dusty core. Great draw, even burn. Fortunately, for regular to heavy cigar smokers, the industry has stepped up the competition. The cigar fits right in with the rank of Tatuaje red and brown labels, and wouldn't be out of place with some Illusione cigars, but having said that, it does not distinguish itself. It offers no unique flavors, no heavy spices or citrus, no consistent sweetness. What is good about it? Everything. The format is a good one for an evening smoke or a morning complement to a cup of coffee. The price point isn't bad either, around 7 bucks.
La Dueña petit lancero review
This is also a new cigar… Distributed by My Father Cigars, it's got a Nicaraguan binder and filler and (actual surprise) a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. Anyway, it's Janny Garcia's cigar, and how good it is. I'm also quite sure it's a blend from Pete Johnson and Janny as a collaboration. Either way, it's a really balanced cigar. There is a leathery character throughout with a consistent black pepper backbone, also noticeable is a ain't but relentless caramel flavor. It's good. Smoke one.
La Flor Dominicana Oro Chisel Review
The new La Flor Oro, wrapped with a Nicaaguan Habano wrapper is the strongest chisel I have yet smoked, easily beating the Air Bender in strength, though perhaps not in nicotine content. Anyway, it starts off with a earthy coffee bean character which stays strong throughout the stick… Every puff is rich with fresh ground coffee beans. One can detect a consistent background of topsoil like earthiness. A few notes of citrus are present, intermingled with the slightest hints of pencil lead. All in all, great smoke, which will only get better with age. Also, the tubos look awesome. Gray look, solid ash, good draw, somewhat uneven burn. 88 pts roughly
Partagas 1845 Review
The new Partagas 1845 is undeniably a tasty cigar. It started a bit slow with those familiar tastes that usually brim from American Market Partagas cigars of the past. It was thick, probably 58 or 56 ring gauge. The roasty, nutty, slightly sweet, coffee bean flavors are complemented by leather and some earthy notes. It seemed to be a pretty straight forward cigar. Not terribly complex, but enjoyable, full bodied, and a great complement to a cup of strong coffee. 88 cursory rating. Try it to see if you dig it.
Roxor Deluxe Maduro Churchill Review
For me, Roxor has been hit and miss. I don't think I've ever had a Roxor that I have outright disliked, but I have never reached for one as my first choice in a humidor, so with this stick, I'll do. Bit of deep thinking. This cigar was big when I picked it out of my humi. It was hefty, the ring gauge is at least fifty, probably a fifty two. The wrapper is silky and beautiful with some veining and a light consistent toothiness, not too oily, but nice to touch, with a bit of sheen. The draw is easy, and the burn is even. Ash: a perfect medium gray. From an aesthetics standpoint, nearly perfect. The flavor profile is not what one usually gets from a Nicaraguan puro, however. It's very smooth, and has lots of black coffee, even a few hints of iron (like rust or blood). There are a few hints of pepper, though they are subdued… Not like the sharp bursts of black pepper one gets from other cigars. There is also a refined sweetness… Like a fig or raisin sweet. The main flavors are not subtle however, they're quite bold. I am still not sure if it's my bag, but it's a well made cigar and has a great taste (not a single note of ammonia or fingerpaint that one usually tastes on a young cigar). Try one and decide if you dig it or not. Just know that you cannot call it a bad cigar.
Aging Room M365 review
This cigar is definitely well made and a great smoking experience. This Dominican cigar is a tad soft, has a chewy consistency, and a good draw… not great, but good. The ash is white and flaky. The overall experience is similar to smoking a Kristoff. Tastes consist of fabulous aged tobacco ( as the name honestly implies) a few notes of spice, some vanilla, very smooth, and very refined. It's not light like a Davidoff, though it does possess a crisp taste profile, though some of the notes are mottled. Medium bodied, and overall very likeable. 90 points off the cuff. Though it's subject to change when I smoke more.
Pinar Del Rio: Liga Especial
What can I say? I have seen this cigar before, but never got around to lighting one up. It is beautiful on the outside with a super dark and toothy wrapper, and three silver bands. The ash is dark and the draw is easy. The smoke is thick and very very similar in taste to the Liga Privada. Dark chocolate and some dusty earth notes are immidiately noticeable and carry through the cigar with barely any spice. A leathery espresso overtone eventually complements the chocolate and even a few citrus notes come into play. It's a great cigar. Full flavored, full bodied, medium in strength. Plus, if you're a Ligero fan, you're in luck, because that's all the tobacco in the filler.

You probably remember Brian Bosworth as the crazy linebacker with weird hair who was good in college but sucked in the NFL and once got trucked by Bo Jackson. Regardless of what you know about The Boz, though, you probably wouldn't expect him to be the kind of guy who sends tweets like this from The xx concert:
Just had SEX & never took my clothes off..XX takes U 2 the abyss of ur consciousness. .kickass show w/ love 4 allGO!! twitter.com/GotBoz44/statu…— Brian Bosworth (@GotBoz44) February 13, 2013
If you aren't familiar, The xx is a perfectly mellow, enjoyable indie pop band from England. You've definitely heard their music playing in the background of various TV shows and commercials and not been offended. In other words, they are not the kind of band that you would peg as capable of eliciting an orgasmic experience from a guy who once looked like this.
Brian Bosworth is like an onion. He has many layers, people.

But cue the water works! Months before the official Dec. 3 confirmation that Duchess Catherine and husband Prince William are expecting their first child – a boy born July 22! – the Duke himself made a revealing statement on the couple's September tour of Southeast Asia. "Someone asked him how many children he would like to have," explained a student who saw the couple during their stopover in Singapore, "and he said he was thinking about having two." On that same visit, Middleton, who's less than 12 weeks into her pregnancy toasts the Queen … with what appears to be a glass of water.

Wellness: Diseases & Conditions
Sensible Use of Sleep Aids
From time to time, almost everyone has a bad night when sleep is elusive. Short-term insomnia lasts only a few days and usually isn't a cause for concern. But if you can't sleep on most nights for 2 to 3 weeks, talk with your health care provider. Insomnia that lasts this long usually continues until the cause is treated. For short-term problems getting to sleep or staying asleep, taking an over-the-counter (OTC) sleep aid can be a safe and effective way to get a good night's sleep.
A good night's sleep for most adults is about 8 hours long, although some people may need as few as 6 hours or as many as 10. How do you know how much sleep you need? Think of how you feel in the morning. If you feel refreshed when you wake up, you've had enough sleep.
What's in a sleeping pill?
Most OTC sleep aids contain antihistamines. Some common antihistamines found in OTC sleep aids are diphenhydramine and doxylamine. The primary use of antihistamines is to block the effect of histamine on the nasal passages, reducing congestion, sneezing, and coughing. Histamine also promotes wakefulness. A side effect of antihistamines is drowsiness, so they are sometimes used to treat insomnia. They may give people a groggy feeling the next morning and/or may slow your thinking. Antihistamines should also be avoided in people with heart disease and by older people. Older people may become confused with antihistamines, and older men can develop problems urinating.
Prescription sleeping pills are different. They act in areas of the brain to help promote sleep. Since the 1970s, the most commonly prescribed are benzodiazepines, such as temazepam, diazepam, lorazepam, alprazolam, and triazolam. They work on the brain chemical known as GABA. GABA opens chloride channels, quieting brain activity, and allowing sleep. Benzodiazepines work with GABA to help bring on sleep.
Newer sleep medications, also known as the "z" drugs, aren't related to benzodiazepines, but they block the same receptors and therefore act like benzodiazepines. Zolpidem, zaleplon, and eszopiclone are newer, nonbenzodiazepine medications used to treat insomnia. These drugs may have fewer side effects and are being prescribed more commonly than the benzodiazepines. These drugs should be used with caution because they can make a person feel confused during sleep and may cause sleepwalking or sleep-enacting behaviors called parasomnias. Other prescription drugs are in the "pipeline" to treat insomnia.
In 2005, the FDA approved Rozerem (ramelteon) to treat insomnia marked by difficulty falling asleep. It acts on melatonin receptors in the brain.
If you are taking a prescription or OTC sleep aid, don't ever take more than the recommended dose, don't drink alcohol while taking it, and don't combine different kinds. If you're pregnant, you should avoid sleeping pills altogether.
Two dietary supplements – valerian root and melatonin – have recently been touted as "natural" sleep aids, but few studies have been done to find out how effective they are, how they work, or what side effects they may have. Valerian root may cause liver damage. Melatonin, the most widely used supplement, is produced by the brain's pineal gland in response to darkness. This lowers body temperature and brings on drowsiness. This supplement may help regulate your body's internal clock when adjusting to jet lag of about an hour and also for shift work.
Coping with sleeplessness
If you are having trouble sleeping, try a warm bath or glass of warm milk before bedtime. Consider that you may have an underlying medical or psychological problem that's causing your sleep difficulties. You may be drinking too much caffeine, not getting enough exercise, or not unwinding before you go to bed.
Taking a sleeping pill is appropriate if you use it according to directions during those rare occasions when you have problems sleeping. Examples are:
Adjusting to jet lag
Adjusting to changes in your work shift
Dealing with a personal crisis, such as the loss of a loved one
Coping with stress related to a specific event, such as giving a presentation
There are 2 major drawbacks to taking sleep aids on a long-term basis:
The pills may start to lose their effectiveness.
You may become dependent on the sleeping pill. When you stop taking a sleeping pill, it becomes even harder to sleep.
Remember that you may even have unrealistic assumptions or expectations about how much sleep you need. Most people don't need much more than 7½ hours of sleep a night.

Studio Ghibli Bluray Review-a-thon Day 10: Howl's Moving Castle
It's the second-to-last day of the Ghiblithon and that means it's time to explore the weird, wild, occasionally nonsensical world of Howl and Sadie. ― As Hayao Miyazaki films by Studio Ghibli go, this 2004 adaptation of the novel by acclaimed British author Diana Wynne Jones stands somewhere in the middle of the pack. Though it earned the second Academy Award nomination for a Miyazaki work, it is nei...

That's OK with me. We'll move on to Christmas and its surrounding video game releases. One of th...
Studio Ghibli Bluray Review-a-thon Day 9: Kiki's Delivery Service
The Ghiblithon starts winding down with the last of three new bluray releases, the tale of a little witch, her talking cat, and a whole lot of coming of age. ― Kiki's Delivery Service was not Hayao Miyazaki's movie at first. Based on the book by Eiko Kadono, the film initially rested with a team of younger animators at Studio Ghibli. Yet the project hit snags, and Miyazaki, as he often does at his st...
Studio Ghibli Bluray Review-a-thon Day 8: Princess Mononoke
Day 8 of the Ghiblithon is all about one of Miyazaki's most celebrated films, arriving on bluray this month in a somewhat compromised, but still gorgeous, state. ― There was a brief moment where Hayao Miyazaki's Princess Mononoke was the top-grossing film in Japan. It came out in the summer of 1997 there, and it was an instant phenomenon, its box office glory stolen mere months later when James Camer...
Pile of Shame FINAL: Chie the Brat
The Pile of Shame recedes into the mists of history with one final installment, on Isao Takahata's criminally underseen Chie the Brat. ― Well folks, we've come to the end of the road. This will be the final Pile of Shame article. I need to stop writing about specific anime for a while, because it's a really good way to get burned out. Also, there's only so much appetite for articles on old and obscur...
Studio Ghibli Bluray Review-a-thon Day 7: From Up On Poppy Hill
It's Day 7 of our Ghiblithon and that means a nostalgia-tinged trip down to old Yokohama with Miyazakis both elder and junior, accompanied by Mike Toole. ― There was an undeniable air of suspicion that arose when Goro Miyazaki was named as director of Tales from Earthsea. After all, the son of Hayao Miyazaki had spent a lengthy career as a landscape architect, before eventually coming to work for the...

Hello FaveCrafts Readers! I'm Ann of Still Dottie and I'm so excited to be guest writing over here. I was wondering, have you noticed the rise of flowers and feathers being used as accessories? From J. Crew to Anthropologie and New York Fashion Week in the fall, you'll see fabric flowers, leafs or silk ruffles everywhere. Let's not forget about Jen Gotch's lovely Ban.do collection and the many sellers on Etsy. Where it all started for me was this girl, I just couldn't get enough of her necklace. With that in mind, today I'm going to take you through some ideas and tutorials for embellished headbands, clips and brooches so that you can be styley for a fraction of the price.
Embellished headbands can be made so many ways; you can use different fabrics for flowers, add feathers as a base or use pearls or beads on the top of each flower. There are also a million ways to get those pieces to stay in your hair; headbands, clips, combs, heavy duty bobby pins or even a couple feet of velvet ribbon. Below is an extended supply list.
What You Need
Single Flower Instructions:
Creating a Cluster:
Attaching to Barrette:
Attaching to Pin Back (for Broach):
Attach to a Headband:
Helpful Hints:
Remember that you can add anything you want or attach the flowers to anything you want! Try adding a barrette & pin back to you cluster, making it super versatile! These clusters have multiple uses: pull back one side of your hair for a dramatic look, attach to your favorite cardigan or blazer, or find a pretty piece of velvet ribbon & create a belt to go over your favorite simple tank or dress. For a picture led tutorial - click here. the beginning is for the flower & feather headband, clusters are at the end.
I hope that you enjoyed the post and I look forward to many more adventures here on FaveCrafts and don't forget to visit Still Dottie to see what I'm up to next.
