The Inaugural Procession of President
Elect Abraham Lincoln
The illustration at right is a Harper's Weekly Cover
illustration by Winslow Homer. it is the March 16, 1861 edition of Harper's
Weekly. It presents the Inaugural Procession of President Elect Abraham
The illustration features Mr. Lincoln in a carriage in
front of the United States Capitol grounds. Throngs of people can be
seen cheering the newly elected president.
This illustration represents the beginning of the
transition from Winslow Homer the Lithographer to Winslow Homer the
March 16, 1861 - The Inauguration of
President Abraham Lincoln
In this case, Homer was not simply reproducing a
Mathew Brady photograph, but was capturing the event as an eye-witness.
The assignment of capturing the inauguration of the president marked a
large step forward in Homer's career.
It should be realized, however, that the role of an
Illustrator is different than the role of an Artist. The
illustrator was sent out to capture as accurately as possible to
proceedings of the day. The role was not to create or interpret,
but to simply record the event, just as a photojournalist would today.
In the role of Illustrator, however, you can begin to
see many early signs of Winslow Homer the artist. Several style
components that would become trademark Homer can be seen in this
illustration. First, notice the incredible level of detail, and
patience in the image of the capitol in the background. This
reflects his work and background as a lithographer . . . but then notice
the impatient, almost hurried style found in the image of the person in
the lower left side of the crowd. The jacket tone is almost
"scratched" in, as if Homer was rushed to finish the image. This
impatience becomes a trademark characteristic of many of Homer's war
Another key Homer style emerges in this image.
Notice that the bayonets of all the soldiers are almost perfectly
parallel. Every soldier, in every position ends up with his
bayonet in the same attitude. This characteristic can be seen in
almost all of Homer's civil war illustrations. The bayonets are
almost always all perfectly parallel in his work. This pattern
tends to bring them out of the picture, and emphasize them.
Homer's parallel bayonets create an image of cold hard steel. It is
impossible for the viewer to ignore their presence, or their purpose.
Its as if the bayonets become the subject of the image. This
illustration style becomes more pronounced as the war proceeds, and
gives Homer's war illustrations a cold and somber mood. In this
illustration, the war had not yet begun, and the bayonets are not as
pronounced as they will become in future Homer illustrations, but the
style is definitely evident in this image.

AP Political Writer
RICHMOND, Va. - If the candidates' rhetoric couldn't lock in your vote, maybe free concerts by legendary rock and bluegrass performers in the battleground state of Virginia will do the trick.
Bruce Springsteen is in Charlottesville's downtown nTelos Pavilion on for a concert Tuesday afternoon to benefit President Barack Obama's re-election.
The Boss appeared with the president in a campaign event in Ohio last week. Obama won't be with the rocker in Charlottesville, a Democratic-voting college town in a largely Republican-leaning region.
In the 7th Congressional District, Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's newcomer Democratic challenger, Wayne Powell, is touring the district with Ralph Stanley, who won a Grammy for his songs in the 2001 movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"
Stanley's six-stop "O Cantor, Where Art Thou?" tour Tuesday and Wednesday is the brainchild of David "Mudcat" Saunders, a Roanoke-based Democratic strategist who specializes in connecting with rural voters.
It starts with a single evening appearance in Gordonsville followed by five stops on Wednesday.
A Coeburn resident and 85-year-old pioneer of bluegrass sound, Stanley's performances from the movie included a haunting a capella rendition of "O Death."
In 2001, Saunders hooked Democrat Mark Warner up with a bluegrass band playing a campaign version of the hill-country standard "Dooley," and he persuaded Warner to field a car bearing his campaign logo in a Nascar race.
With both the presidential and U.S. Senate races close in the battleground state of Virginia, the state has not only been a frequent stop for Obama and Romney and their running mates, it's also been a magnet for other big-name proxies for the campaign.
Actress Ashley Judd was in Virginia over the weekend on Obama's behalf.

Tracking of the Early Head Start Research and Evaluation Project (EHSREP) Sample, 2012-2018
Project Overview
The Early Head Start Research and Evaluation Project (EHSREP) is a longitudinal impact evaluation of the Early Head Start program initiated in 1996, at the same time that the Early Head Start program was created. Child and family assessments were conducted when children were 14 months old, 24 months old, 36 months old, in the spring prior to kindergarten entry, and again in the spring of the sixth year of formal schooling (5th grade for most children). In 2012, ACF awarded a contract to RAND Corporation to track the children and families who participated in the EHSREP in order to maintain up-to-date contact information and prepare for a possible high school follow-up data collection. Tracking activities will involve locating children/families, verifying and updating their relevant contact information, and obtaining consent to collect data on children's long-term outcomes such as through administrative records (e.g., graduation from high school, retention in grade, academic transcripts, involvement in juvenile justice). This contract will continue tracking the EHSREP sample until children reach 18 years of age (at the time the tracking study began, they were approximately 14-17 years of age depending on their age at the time of enrollment in the study).
The point of contact is Amy Madigan.

Sticking to a low calorie diet that allows you to eat something of sustenance besides salads and fruit is a nearly impossible challenge. Most low calorie diets cause the dieter to lose weight because of its drastically low calorie intake, but leave the dieter lethargic and malnourished.
Integrating a healthy, balanced diet into 1200 calories isn't an impossible feat, but requires careful organization. First, ask your nutritionist, dietician or doctor if a 1200 meal plan is ideal for you. 1200 calorie diets should not be sustained for lengthy periods, but can be a good starting point towards proper nutrition.
A favorite Italian magazine of mine, called "Starbene," recently proposed a well-balanced and nutritious diet plan tweaked to 1200 1300 calories. The diet and serving sizes are ideal for women and are realistic and filling, without leaving the dieter hungry or deprived.
Breakfast-A small cup of coffee, sweetened with sugar and a non-fat glass of milk plus a 3.5oz (100 gram) fat-free yogurt, along with one slice of whole wheat toast slathered with a teaspoon of unsweetened fruit jam.
Condiments-The only permitted condiment is 4-5 daily teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil, used either in cooking, or as a flavor enhancer for food and salads.
Fruit_Three 5.2 oz (150 gram) )portions of fresh, seasonal fruit. Dried fruit is not permitted in this diet, due to its high sugar content.
Starches-2.45 oz (70 grams) of starches are permitted each during lunch and dinner. The dieter can choose from breads, rice, pasta, or potatoes.
Vegetables-Four to six servings of vegetables, either grilled, steamed, boiled or sauteed, as snacks or side dishes.
Meats-Three 4.2 oz (120 gram) portions of meat per week, alternating between ultra-lean cuts of red and white meat.
Fish-Three 5.2 oz (150 gram) servings of all types of fish per week, avoiding those conserved in oil.
Cheeses-Three 3.5 oz (100 gram)portions of fresh, spreadable cheeses and a total of 2.1 oz (60 grams) of hard cheeses per week.
Cold Cuts-Two 2.1 oz (60 gram) servings of lean cold cuts per week, with visible fat removed.
Legumes- Two 2.8 oz (80 grams) of lentils including chickpeas, peas, and lentils twice a week.
Eggs-Two eggs once a week are allowed, scrambled, poached, raw or prepared in an omelet.
Beverages-The only beverage permitted is water.
The success of this diet is based on its strong emphasis on single dishes that blend carbohydrates and proteins with elements of all the food groups. Examples of good lunch and dinner meal choices that work with this plan can include:
*Linguine with Seafood*- 2.1 oz (60 grams) of linguine pasta tossed in fresh tomato with a few grilled shrimps, crab meat, mussels and clams.
*Pitas filled with Tofu and Vegetables*-
*Chicken and Rice Mixed with Middle Eastern Spices*-Grilled chicken pieces with basmati rice and Middle Eastern spices.
Sticking to an ultra-light menu can work out to be truly tasty, nutritious and healthy. To stick to the above plan, be sure to weigh the food prior to consumption to ensure that you are staying within the correct portion sizes.

Can someone explain to me what the contentInset property in a
UIScrollView instance is used for? And maybe provide an example?
Can someone explain to me what the contentInset property in a
It sets the distance of the inset between the content view and the enclosing scroll view.
Here's a good iOS Reference Library article on scroll views that has an informative screenshot (fig 1-3) - I'll replicate it via text here:
The scroll view encloses the content view plus whatever padding is provided by the specified content insets.
While jball's answer is an excellent description of content insets, it doesn't answer the question of when to use it. I'll borrow from his diagrams:
That's what you get when you do it, but the usefulness of it only shows when you scroll:
That top row of content will still be visible because it's still inside the frame of the scroll view. One way to think of the top offset is "how much to shift the content down the scroll view when we're scrolled all the way to the top"
To see a place where this is actually used, look at the build-in Photos app on the iphone. The Navigation bar and status bar are transparent, and the contents of the scroll view are visible underneath. That's because the scroll view's frame extends out that far. But if it wasn't for the content inset, you would never be able to have the top of the content clear that transparent navigation bar when you go all the way to the top.
Great question.
Consider the following example (
The insets are the ONLY way to force your scroller to have a "window" on the content where you want it. I'm still messing with this sample code, but the idea is there: use the insets to get a "window" on your

FORT WORTH -- A 2-year-old boy was returned to his family safely Thursday afternoon after a thief put him out of his mother's car a few blocks from where it was stolen in the Fairmount neighborhood.Fabiola Garcia had four sons in the car, a white Ford Escape, when she stopped at a yard sale in the 1900 block of South Henderson Street, the eldest son, Ruben Calderon, 11, said.Two-year-old Ricardo was asleep, so his mother left him in the car with air conditioning running.A man jumped into the car car and drove away, Ruben said.His little brother was let out of the car farther south on Henderson, Ruben said.Police officers found the child and brought him back to his family.There was no word early Thursday evening if the thief had been arrested.An early report stated that the thief was a Hispanic male wearing a white shirt, black pants and a Dallas Cowboys ballcap on backward.The mother was distraught."She didn't care about the car and neither did I," he said about his mother. "We only cared about the kid -- my baby brother."Brother Brian said there were library books in the car. "Now we're going to have to pay for them," he lamented.But Ruben put things into a different perspective."We're feeling better right now," he said, "and thanking God that he helped us get back our little baby brother."Bill Miller, 817-390-7684Twitter: @Bill_MillerST

Balderton Street
Mayfair Court:
St. Mark's Mansions, Balderton Street
No. 16 Balderton Street (The Polytechnic Annexe)
Garage, Balderton Street.
This street, which was named George Street until 1886,
was principally laid out in the 1730's with small, rather
mean houses. Their occupants were generally poor, and by
the nineteenth century the street also contained warehouses, workshops and a small brewery. (ref. 136) From 1871 it
was entirely rebuilt, mainly with blocks of artisans'
dwellings or parochial buildings which were erected on the
initiative of the vigorous vicar of St. Mark's, the Reverend
J. W. Ayre.
No. 1 Balderton Street and No. 35
North Row, of red brick and stone, was erected in 1910–11
by Walter Lawrence and Son to the designs of Taperell
and Haase as a block of chambers with business premises
on the ground floor. (ref. 137)
St. Mark's Mansions, Balderton Street (Plate 30c in
vol. XXXIX), was built as a parochial institute in 1872–3 on
the initiative of the Reverend J. W. Ayre, on a site which
was leased by the third Marquess (later first Duke) of
Westminster at a very low ground rent. The building,
which is in a red-brick Gothic style with two prominent
oriels, was designed by R. J. Withers and built by Matthew
Allen and Son of Finsbury at a cost of £6,775. It included a
soup kitchen, a church hall, premises for the parish
working-men's club, a reading-room and library, model
lodgings for parish workers and the teaching staff of St.
Mark's Schools, and classrooms. (ref. 138)
No. 16 Balderton Street (The Polytechnic Annexe)
began its life as a parish gymnasium designed by William J.
Bamber and partially erected in 1886–7 by J. M. Macey
and Sons. The Reverend J. W. Ayre, the vicar of St.
Mark's, who persuaded the Duke of Westminster to
provide the site, was not able to raise sufficient money to
complete the building, however, and it remained in an
unfinished state, held on a yearly tenancy, until Ayre's
death in 1898. His successor, the Reverend R. H. Hadden,
was a governor of the Regent Street Polytechnic (now The
Polytechnic of Central London), and he informed the
Estate that the Polytechnic would be prepared to take over
and adapt the building at a cost of some £5,000.
Accordingly a new ninety-year lease was granted and in
1900 alterations were put in hand under the direction of
W. B. Pinhey, architect and surveyor. At the same time the
Polytechnic also took over part of St. Mark's Mansions
and, in 1904, the former St. Mark's Schools. (ref. 139)
The Polytechnic Annexe is a four-storey building in a
minimally Gothic style faced with red brick and painted
stone or composition dressings. The windows and
doorway on the ground floor are set within pointed arches
but on the upper floors these give way to simple mullionedand-transomed windows with at the top three triangular
gables decorated with a chequer-board pattern and, in the
centre, heraldic shields which have been largely worn
This was built in 1925–6
by F. and H. F. Higgs to the designs of Wimperis and
Simpson and, unusually for the Grosvenor estate, is a
reinforced-concrete building which uses vestigial classical
mouldings to relieve its otherwise plain lines. (ref. 140)
For Balderton Flats, Clarendon Flats and other
blocks of model dwellings in the vicinity of Balderton
Street, see Chapter VI.

I have had a decent number of questions sent my way about mutual funds so I felt I should do a follow-up to my prior article, How to Choose Mutual Funds.
The typical mutual fund turns over its portfolio at least once a year and owns on average 160 stocks. There are two things that lead to mediocrity when it comes to investing: too much trading and owning too many stocks. Many mutual funds are guilty of both.
I have seen many mutual funds which claim that they employ a careful fundamental approach in choosing stocks. Yet their turnover ratio is 200% to 300% or more. This basically means that the fund buys and sells entire portfolios of hundreds of stocks 3 or 4 times a year! All this churning means that securities analysis on Wall Street is going the way of the dodo.
Owning hundreds of stocks means that the fund managers often know little about what they actually own. In such vast portfolios, no individual stock matters much and makes little difference to the overall performance of the fund. So many fund managers don't even bother to look at the individual stocks they own in detail.
A new book by Louis Lowenstein called 'The Investor's Dilemma' hammers these points home along with some other ones. In his book, Mr. Lowerstein emphasizes that most fund companies have little interest in how well investors actually do in their funds.
Mr. Lowenstein says that fund companies are instead interested in growing the amount of assets they manage. This is how they earn their money. He goes on to give examples of mutual fund chief investment officers who have very little of their own money in the funds they manage. Instead, these executives have their money invested directly into the fund management companies themselves.
There are some exceptions, of course. There actually are good mutual funds. Despite his calling money management a "soulless business", Mr. Lowenstein does list some of his favorite mutual funds in his book.
How can an investor find a good mutual fund? An investor can use any reputable source of information on mutual funds including the following: Yahoo Finance, Morningstar, or any online broker such as E-Trade or Schwab.
What information should an investor look for when he or she is trying to choose a fund? Here are my tips:
1) Look for a small portfolio. I emphasized this point in my earlier article on How to Choose Mutual Funds. The fund should have about 50 stocks maximum. This way you know that the fund managers have actually researched the companies in the portfolio and have confidence in them. An example of such a fund with a fabulous long-term track record is the CGM Focus Fund which is run by the brilliant money manager Ken Heibner.
2) Look at the turnover ratio. This tells you how much mindless churning of the fund portfolio is going on. This data will appear with the performance data. This number should be as low as possible. Any number over 100% is a huge red flag! An example would be a fund with a turnover ratio of 25%. This would imply an average holding period for the fund's portfolio of stocks of four years, which is ok.
3) One last point - do not buy a fund that is too large in size. Some very well-known funds have well over $100 billion in assets. Trying to steer these funds would be like trying to steer an oil tanker in your swimming pool. At the most, a fund should have no more than $25 billion in assets and ideally much less. A smaller fund can more easily buy any type of stocks and not be forced into only buying large companies like Intel or Citibank.

The main advantage of using a secured loan to consolidate your debts is that monthly repayments and interest rates are reduced.

Reviews Add Your Review
good product Review by Camille
I love that this lube is natural and all. However, I've tried several lubes, natural or not, and they all make me sting a little bit every time I start being in contact with them. So, that's kind of a bummer. But it's still better than nothing if you're using condoms that can feel kind of scratchy. Looking at the ingredients, I prefer using this than ky or anything else I'd pick up at a regular pharmacy. (Posted on 4/14/12)
Wonderful product Review by Sara
This stuff is great--Not at all sticky, no nasty chemical smell, and a little goes a long way! My man really enjoys it, too. Hope to see more varieties available. (Posted on 4/9/12)
Great with my divacup, and also intimate use too. Review by jenn
This lube was especially useful when I first started using my divacup. I put a little on the outside and on the rim of the divacup to help insert it more comfortably. I also really like it because the ingredients are from plants not chemicals like all chain store brands. (Posted on 8/11/11)
great addition to my ecosexy arsenal Review by anonymous
surprisingly long lasting for a water based lube. it's velvety, not at all sticky or gummy, and i like that it's vegan and glycerin free. the only issue for me is that it tastes slightly bitter. i assume this is because of the ginseng, or possibly the horny goat weed? flavored lubes usually taste so chemical-y and artificial, which is why i don't use them - but i would be interested in trying one of hathor's flavored products.

Black box from Gail Palmgren's Jeep searched for clues
Society is always eager to make that giant leap - if a man is willing to cheat on his LIFE PARTNER, he is probably capable of anything, including murder. I find it so sad that a man will have no problem cheating on his wife and wouldn't DREAM of cheating a client or stealing from a store. What is it in our society that makes marital infidelity acceptable?
All that we know about this case is that the husband was a cheater (and liar and thief) to his wife and that the wife was involved in a terrible accident. I think that's the end of the story. I don't believe the two facts are related.
Is Herman Cain dropping out of the presidential race?
Oh,oh! The plot thickens:
"As evidence, she provided an Atlanta television station with records showing Cain had contacted her 61 times in text messages and phone calls over four different months. The TV station contacted the number White provided, and Cain returned the call."
County Commission takes no action, preserving Occupy protest at courthouse
I think I'll take some sandwiches to those "Occupy Chattanoogans.' They're my kind of folks!!!
Is Herman Cain dropping out of the presidential race?
Does anyone remember Gennifer Flowers who claimed that she had had a multi-year relationship with Bill Clinton? He became POTUS. So I believe everyone knew that Clinton had a little bit of "dog" in him. But they elected him anyway. I do believe that people will lie for money, but there is probably some truth to the story. It probably wasn't a love affair. It was probably just 13 years of "booty calls."
I would love to see Herman Cain get the nomination. I think he would be the easiest candidate for Obama to beat. Women won't vote for him. And a lot of racist won't appreciate all the white women who are coming out of his closet.
U.S. Sen. Bob Corker far ahead in campaign fundraising
I could really get behind Bredesen.
2-year-old girl abandoned in ditch; Chickamauga mother charged
This woman is obviously sick and needs help. I hope that she gets the help she needs. She DOES NOT NEED CHILDREN EVER AGAIN.
Signal Mountain teacher charged in prostitution sting
So who are the other ten people??? Why is it that you only want to disclose the name of the teacher??? Good Grief!!! Give me a break. What happened to innocent until proven guilty??? Pretty soon we won't have anyone willing to teach because the news media will choose to publically air your dirty laundry.
Watch as former Hamilton County Schools Superintendent Dr. Jim Scales speaks during an exclusive int
He's a classy guy. I don't know why he was beaten up so much on communication. I think he communicates well. The consolidated district has always had a communications person who took care of press releases, robo calls, and notifying the public of early dismissals, etc. Is the superintendent expected to write his own press releases now?
Haslam teacher tenure bill clears Senate committee
When Bill Haslam's first order of business as governor was to take away the collective bargaining rights of teachers, I thought to myself, "What have teachers done in Tennessee to get stripped of their bargaining rights?" I wondered if Tennessee teachers had gone on strike or had massive "call in sick" days. I searched Google for "Tennessee Teachers on Strike" and could find nothing. In fact, I found that it was illegal for Tennessee teachers to go on strike. So apparently Tennessee teachers have not used their collective bargaining rights to go on strike.
Perhaps the problem is the retirement system that teachers enjoy. I went to the Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System and pretended that I was a 35-year teacher who had averaged $50,000/year for the last five years. (I don't know if many teachers earn that much, but I used that number as a guide.) To my surprise, a teacher who earned $50,000/year and retires with 35 years of experience merely gets a pension of $2,296/month or an annual pension of $27,552. That's the maximum, assuming that the teacher doesn't want his/her spouse to have anything in the event of the teacher's death. You can check this out yourself by going to the TCRS calculation website. It seems that the collective bargaining isn't helping the teachers all that much with their retirement. So why is Bill Haslam picking on teachers?
It is untrue that a tenured teacher cannot be fired. Tenure only guarantees due process for teachers facing termination. Tennessee isn't like New York City, where ineffective teachers are in a holding area earning their full salary while playing cards and waiting years for hearings. This doesn't happen in Tennessee. However, it is true that for a Tennessee teacher to lose his/her job there has to be evidence of ineffectiveness and evidence that assistance was provided to the teacher to no avail.
Nationwide, teachers are consistently leaving the teaching profession. "Every year, U.S. schools hire more than 200,000 new teachers for that first day of class. By the time summer rolls around, at least 22,000 have quit. Even those who make it beyond the trying first year aren't likely to stay long: about 30 percent of new teachers flee the profession after just three years, and more than 45 percent leave after five."[Source – NEA] So the notion that it's hard to get rid of teachers is just not true. On the contrary, it's hard to keep teachers.
Changing the tenure law is just the beginning of things to come. Changing the tenure law won't save money. The salaries and retirement plans that teachers earned will be next. I hope I'm wrong.

The results look like Peter Lippmann's photographic series, Paradise Parking, in which four-wheeled classics are shown half digested by the relentlessly hungry matron we call Mother Nature. Lippmann's project took two years to put together, and a book of the series will be issued in October. Before that, his photos will be shown at the Gallery Sophie Maree in Amsterdam. Right now, however, you can find eleven of the shots in our gallery.... Read More

"...change of thinking."

Our world is bombarded with various ideas about religion and
the non-existence of God. These ideas come from every corner
of the globe. Relativism has taken over blinding the possibility
of one source of TRUTH and focusing on elastic morality. What man,
in his natural condition, does not change his mind? This is not
mystery. Much more when the wrath of God is upon ones head.
I can understand where you are coming from and where you intend
to go as one who believes in predistinaion. I always believe, however,
election and predistination are always to salvation and its blessing
and never to judgement.
I still can not fathom why you use the word "quantum" when the simpliest
definition of such term is quantity or something having quantity or by
simplified physics, a radiation of frequency. Is faith, love, hate or
anger measured with such term?

Quantum refers to the discontinuity of events in nature

Do you really believe it...?

Faith is a gift from God
Lemuel G. Abarte, Dec 6, 2006, 9:29 PM
Your arguement hangs on a possibility..
CoeL, Dec 7, 2006, 5:58 PM
When there is no possibility, then there is no faith
Lemuel G. Abarte, Dec 10, 2006, 4:31 PM
Is it...?

We are wrestling with an issue that's happening all over America

The experimental Long EZ was taxiing on taxiway A for a planned departure from the non-towered airport. About the same time, a light sport airplane (LSA) was taxiing out of a ramp area on a stub taxiway, towards taxiway A, for a planned departure. According to the Long EZ pilot, he saw the LSA approach from the right and then turned right onto taxiway A. He steered his airplane to the left side of the taxiway in an attempt to avoid the LSA. According to both persons on board the LSA, as they approached the taxiway, they looked to the right and left, and then proceeded onto taxiway A via a right turn. Shortly after the LSA joined the taxiway centerline, the Long EZ's right vertical stabilizer struck the LSA's left aileron. The LSA's rotating propeller struck the right canard of the Long EZ. The airplanes came to a stop near the edge of taxiway A, about 75 feet beyond the center of the stub taxiway. A chain link fence near the taxiway limited the pilots' ability to see one another until they were close to the taxiway intersection. However, none of the pilots involved reported that the LSA stopped before it turned onto taxiway A. Subsequent to the accident, the fixed base operator modified their standard operating procedures to require pilots to stop prior to entering taxiway A.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to hydrochlorothiazide / timolol: oral tablet
Timolol-hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) is generally well tolerated. Most side effects are mild and transient.
Cardiovascular side effects have included sinus bradycardia and hypotension. Sinus bradycardia is reported in 1.2% of the patients, but is reported in up to 9% of patients who are taking timolol alone. Hypotension is reported in 1.6% of patients, and can result in syncope, particularly in the elderly. Atrioventricular conduction disturbances or exacerbation of congestive heart failure are reported in less than 1% of patients. Rarely, HCTZ-induced hypokalemia can predispose some patients to significant cardiac arrhythmias, including ventricular ectopy and complete AV heart block.
Metabolic side effects associated with HCTZ are more common when daily doses exceed 50 mg. Mild hypokalemia (decrease of 0.5 mEq/L) occurs in up to 50% of patients, and may predispose patients to cardiac arrhythmias. Metabolic alkalosis, hyponatremia, hypomagnesemia, hypercalcemia, hyperglycemia, and elevated serum uric acid levels are also relatively common. Timolol-HCTZ may increase serum cholesterol and decrease HDL lipoprotein cholesterol.
Since HCTZ may increase total serum cholesterol by 11%, LDL lipoprotein cholesterol by 12%, VLDL lipoprotein cholesterol levels by 50%, and may reduce insulin secretion, timolol-HCTZ should be used with caution in diabetic patients and in those with hypercholesterolemia. Timolol, like some other beta-blockers, may also have an unfavorable effect on the lipid profile.
Hyperuricemia may be an important consideration in patients with a history of gout. Hypophosphatemia and low serum magnesium concentrations may occur, but are usually clinically insignificant except in malnourished patients.
Alternative therapy should be considered in patients with reactive airways disease. Case reports of fatal respiratory arrests have been reported in patients with asthma who were given timolol, even after topical ophthalmic administration.
A case of refractory rhinitis has been reported, thought to be due to timolol-induced vasomotor rhinitis.
Respiratory problems associated with timolol-HCTZ, as with other drugs that contain beta-antagonists, include bronchial constriction in susceptible patients. Dyspnea is reported in 1% to 6% of patients. There are approximately 30 case reports of acute noncardiogenic pulmonary edema associated with HCTZ. The mechanism is not known, but may be due to hypersensitivity to the drug.
A 68-year-old man with a history of myocardial infarction (MI) developed dyspnea, chest tightness, a low grade fever, dizziness, sweating, and vomiting associated with cyanosis, a mild leukocytosis, radiographic evidence of pulmonary edema, clinical evidence of hypovolemia, and respiratory acidosis. MI and infection were ruled out; the patient recovered after restoration of his intravascular volume with saline and albumin. The only precipitating factor per history was the ingestion of HCTZ, which the patient had taken without incident for two years. Rechallenge resulted in recurrent acute pulmonary edema. Other signs of hypersensitivity, such as rash and eosinophilia, were absent.
Hypersensitivity reactions occur in less than 1% of patients. They may present as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or rash. Case reports of acute pulmonary edema, interstitial cystitis, interstitial nephritis, and anaphylaxis have been reported.
A 67-year-old white woman with hypothyroidism, hypercalcemia, depression, and hypertension developed facial erythema, headaches, tremors, confusion, and personality changes associated with a new positive ANA and anti-nRNP, and skin biopsy consistent with lupus erythematosus while taking HCTZ, levothyroxine, and amitriptyline. The eruption resolved upon discontinuation of HCTZ, but she later developed a higher ANA titer associated with symptomatic diffuse interstitial pulmonary infiltrates. She was successfully treated with corticosteroids.
Dermatologic reactions are usually due to the HCTZ component. Thiazides may induce phototoxic dermatitis, erythema annular centrifugum, acute eczematous dermatitis, and morbilliform or leukocytoclastic vasculitis. In addition, a rare, distinct entity with clinical and laboratory features indistinguishable from those of subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus has been associated with HCTZ. Rare cases of generalized psoriasis and hyperpigmented nailbeds have been associated with timolol.
Nervous system
Nervous system side effects include fatigue in 2% to 6%, headache in 4%, and dizziness in 6% of patients. Rare cases of worsened myasthenia gravis, visual hallucinations, insomnia, and depression have been associated with timolol, and rare cases of cerebrovascular insufficiency have been associated with HCTZ-induced plasma volume contraction.
A case of amaurosis fugax has been associated with timolol, but the patient had underlying cerebrovascular disease, autonomic dysfunction, and an arrhythmia.
Renal side effects including new or worsened renal insufficiency may occur due to HCTZ-induced intravascular volume depletion. Rare cases of interstitial nephritis have been associated with HCTZ.
Although HCTZ has been used to treat nephrogenic diabetes insipidus, a case report in which the drug was believed to have caused this condition has been reported.
Endocrinologic side effects associated with timolol, as with other non-selective beta-blockers, include masking the signs and symptoms and blunting the normal physiologic response to hypoglycemia. Both timolol and HCTZ may cause an increase in serum triglycerides, LDL, and VLDL cholesterol, and a decrease in HDL cholesterol. Thiazide diuretics may induce glucose intolerance. Some of these side effects may be important in patients with or who are at risk for diabetes or coronary artery disease.
A prospective study of 34 patients who received oral thiazide diuretics for 14 years without interruption revealed an increased mean fasting blood glucose level after treatment. Withdrawal of thiazide therapy for 7 months in 10 of the patients resulted in mean reductions of 10% in fasting blood glucose and 25% in the 2-hour glucose tolerance test value. A control group was not reported.
Gastrointestinal complaints of general abdominal pain, nausea, constipation, or diarrhea have been reported in less than 1% of patients. There have been rare reports of pancreatitis and acute cholecystitis associated with HCTZ.
Thiazide diuretics may increase serum cholesterol and triglycerides, resulting in an increased risk of cholesterol gallstone formation. Reports of bowel strictures associated with thiazide ingestion have been reported in the 1960's, although these patients were on a combination HCTZ-potassium product.
Psychiatric side effects, such as confusion, depression (including acute suicidal ideation), vivid and frightening dreams, or visual hallucinations have been associated with timolol.
Musculoskeletal pains are reported in less than 1% of patients.
Genitourinary complaints of impotence and decreased libido are rare.
Immunologic reactions are extremely rare. A single case of reversible systemic lupus erythematosus has been associated with ophthalmic timolol solution and rare cases of allergic vasculitis have been associated with HCTZ.
An 86-year-old man with glaucoma who was taking timolol 0.5% eyedrops developed fever, malaise, pleurisy, and recurrent sterile pleural effusions associated with antinuclear and histone antibodies. The syndrome resolved completely after discontinuation of timolol.
There are rare case reports of HCTZ-induced immune hemolytic anemia. The following illustrates a fatal case:
A 53-year-old man with hypertension developed nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and progressive anorexia and weakness associated with scleral icterus, anemia with spherocytosis, dark red urine with proteinuria, bilirubinuria, hemoglobinuria, and elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase levels 18 months after beginning HCTZ and methyldopa. Haptoglobin was less than 50 mg/dl. Direct and indirect Coombs tests were positive. The patient died suddenly; autopsy revealed no obvious cause of death, left ventricular hypertrophy, and mild coronary atherosclerosis.
Hematologic side effects have not been reported during therapy with the combination product. Cases of immune-complex hemolytic anemia, aplastic anemia, and thrombocytopenia have been associated with HCTZ.

How good are these guys? Yep - bloody good! It's been a couple of years, but Jean and the guys are back and are in full melodic glory, with some of the best hard rocking tunes this year.
Crown Of Thorns have created a couple of classic rock albums, but there are some that favoured the debut over their last record.
Good news for you here. The band, while retaining the heavier flavour and the Led Zeppelin influence of the second album, seem to have re-captured the urgency and the flair of the debut. True also that this record has more hooks and choruses than ever.
The band couldn't have picked a better opener than Lost Cathedral, with it's huge guitar sound building towards that kind of a chorus that gives you goosebumps, and makes you want to replay it over and over. A great anthem and a COT instant classic.
Live & Die takes a couple of listens to get into, it is darker and less immediate. A really moody track that is lyrically even darker. Still, once a few listens have passed, the chorus is there for good.
Motorcycle Loretta is one of my favourite tracks, with a very Zepish and heavy guitar riff that leads into another anthem like chorus, that never hangs around long enough to get sick of.
Lyin' is a big, overblown and fairly fast paced power ballad, that really rocks. A great vocal and some killer harmonies.
Free Me is another moody mid paced tune that will also take some listening to. Another great vocal.
Greed Of Love gets things rocking again. The band use some female backing vocals to add to the already huge sound, and the chorus is almost like a bridge to the next verse.
Cold Blooded Bitch isn't as heavy as it sounds, and is the closest thing to the old COT on the record. A good mid to uptempo rocker.
End Of The Road is a great power ballad, and one of the best tracks of the album.
Although We're Fools is a hard guitar driven number until the chorus, where it turns into one of the most commercial number the band have ever recorded. Something like the Beatles on speed! Great chorus and harmonies.
Waisted Prime is a moody mid paced ballad, and again, another very commercial number compared to the rest of the album. Another highlight.
Hell Of A Night is pretty different! An electronic drum backs the tune with a keyboard accompaniment and a sound I can't really describe. Maybe something Prince would record?!
If You Need Me wraps up another great Crown Of Thorns record. A huge ballad, if not the biggest on the record, and one that AOR and hard rock fans should love regardless. A lighters in the air kind of song.
Any fan of the bands' previous work should get into this right now, and hopefully with a wider promotion, the band will pick up new fans. A very contemporary record, while retaining everything we love about this sort of music. Great record!

Do you have upcoming holiday travel plans? If so, you have probably (hopefully) made your arrangements. Now is the time to double check: have arrangements been made for your dog?
Deciding whether or not to travel with your dog may be a tough decision. Many of us do not want to leave our dogs behind, but sometimes it`s the better choice. Unfortunately, at this late date, if you have not made arrangements for your dog to board or stay with a pet sitter, then you may have to take him with you.
