My dad is 86 years old. He has had two heart surgeries - triple
Resolved Question:
My dad is 86 years old. He has had two heart surgeries - triple bypass when he was 60 and a mitral valve replacement two and one half years ago. Presently, he is experiencing periodic bouts of high fever, trembling and falling down. He was in hospital in November for this and was given antibiotics, intravenous and pain medication to stabilize the fever. He was also given an esophageal ultrasound to look at his heart and since then he cannot swallow and he coughs a lot. He also has nausea and doesn't eat much now. His fever has returned and he has fallen upon getting out of bed twice now. He is weak and he refuses to go to the hospital. He feels he is going to die and if that is going to happen he wants to die at home. Do you have any advice? Thanks.

When he was hospitalized in November, was the cause of the fever determined? In other words where was infection found?
Ask Your Own Health Question
replied 2 years ago.
The blood tests did not reveal anything noteworthy. In other words, they do not know.
Dr. Singh
replied 2 years ago.
Did they do a work up of all possible causes of infection, including pneumonia, urinary tract infection, meningitis, gallbladder, pancreatitis, etc? Or were they primarily focused on the heart and making sure it wasn't endocardititis?
Ask Your Own Health Question
replied 2 years ago.
I suppose they focused on endocarditis but the scope revealed the heart was fine. As to the other causes, I do not know but he had no pneumonia and I think they considered a urinary tract infection. He seemed stable for a couple of weeks when he was released and now it is starting all over again.
Dr. Singh
replied 2 years ago.
Thank you for the additional information. Ideally in this situation taking him to the hospital for further work up of his symptoms (fever, tremors, loss of balance, decreased appetite) is recommended to explore things such as those mentioned previously and to treat accordingly. Other things to consider with these symptoms is cancer of some sort. However, if your father is not allowing or wanting any further medical attention and he is of sound mind, you really have to abide by his wishes. In the meantime, I do recommend that you treat him at home symptomatically, with tyelnol for the fever, fluids, protein shakes for nutrition, ibuprofen for pain, etc. If you could convince him to go the hospital or at least visit his doctor that would be ideal.
if you have any additional questions, please feel free to ask. If no further questions, please click accept.

I will be taking him to a clinic tomorrow since wait times at hospital here is ridiculous. I don't want him to sit in a waiting room for hours. That would only accerbate the difficulties. I don't understand this temporary loss of balance and the falling down.
Dr. Singh
replied 2 years ago.
The loss of balance and falling down could be secondary to the infection/fever itself. It could also be secondary to malnutrition/dehydration given the fact that you stated he is not eating as much.

Russell Crowe and Danielle Spencer Shopping in LA With Sons
Russell Crowe and Danielle Spencer Shop With Their Boys in LA
Russell Crowe and Danielle Spencer treated their sons, Charles and Tennyson, to some new toys during a shopping trip in Beverly Hills today. The estranged couple, who separated in October last year, left Sydney for LA with their boys late last week, and during their reunion they enjoyed a relaxed evening with friends at the Polo Lounge where an eyewitness said, "Russell and Danielle were sitting next to each other and seemed to get along well — but were never affectionate."
Russell has also had lots of work on his plate and promoted his new blockbuster Man of Steel in Sydney last Monday with Henry Cavill and director Zack Snyder; Charles and Tennyson, who played a big part in him accepting the role of Superman's real father Jor-El, were also suited up for the occasion. On top of that Russell made headlines this week when his Twitter account was hacked — someone posted a photo of a naked woman from his profile. The tweet was quickly deleted and Russell explained to his followers, "Hey, I don't know what that was. Just having a chat with Dani when the phone went ballistic. Sorry, gone."

Does anyone know if on these (and other Android-based) phones which have a custom UI, can you switch back to the default Android one?
Think so
You could either install an app such as open home (pretty much standard android home), or flash the ROM. Although the latter would probably void your warranty.
Yes, easily.
Just go into the options, find the "new" home screen and select "clear defaults".
Next time you hit the "Home" button you'll get a choice between home screens. You can either leave the phone with the choice or there's a tickbox which allows you to select one as default.
I use the original Android home screen on my Hero. TouchFLO is shiny and all, but I don't need 7 home screens and the default screen is a bit snappier.
Be aware you might lose any custom widgets for the supplied home screen though.
On a similar note, there's a few other home screens floating around in the Android marketplace that you can add and switch to in a similar manner.
And yet the fanbois still claim the Jesus Phone has a better UI. Sigh. ;o)
The reason..
people claim that the jee-bus phone has a better UI is because they have used them, and believe me my iPhone blows 'driod into the weeds...
sorry people - tis the truth.
@ "sorry people - tis the truth" AC
No, it's your opinion. The iPhone UI is starting to look very dated, and THAT's the truth
Personal preference I guess
I have an iPod Touch, other than responsiveness, the UI lacks any degree of customisability getting a big thumbs down from me.
Should sell it on really, it's near useless imo.
re: The reason
Funny how everytime a fanboi posts something like that they click the Post anonymously? button ain't it....
they're press-pack photos? Crazy daft if you ask me; advertising something the size of a credit card, without even one picture showing scale with a common object.
credit cards...
All mine are the standard 85mm x 55mm. Pretty sure everyone will have some idea how big a credit card is and be able to look on one and think "oh thats how big that nifty new X10 mini is".
relative sizes....
The relative size of the micro-USB port on the back of it gives you a pretty good idea of the scale.
Looks like it's about as long as my Nexus is wide..... o_0
RE: credit cards...
I don't think anyone was querying how big credit cards are, it's more a case of knowing how big the phone is relative to one!
RSI Heaven
Keyboard that small's got to cane your thumbs hasn't it?
Video of product
After seeing it in action, I am looking forward to this one.. (It also give a good sense of scale, and shows a quite snappy UI)
Anybody want a wireless camera?
You'd think they could have found a product name that wouldn't turn up google (or your paranoid alternative of choice) searches littered with ads for Amazing Wireless cameras...

text: South Korea Deploys Israeli-Made Missiles to Protect Border Islands Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 20 May 2013 post a comment South Korea has deployed Israeli-made Spike missiles to protect border islands in the West Sea. According to Arirang News, these satellite-guided missiles can be used to "destroy underground facilities" and "to pursue and strike moving targets." These missiles are believed to be so accurate that they can "strike targets day and night" using a system of infrared targeting, cameras, and sensors. They can also be used to strike artillery hidden in caves. In addition to the Spike missiles, South Korea also "placed state of the art radars, multiple missile launchers, and Cobra helicopters" in the region to deal with any threats from North Korea. They want to be sure that something like the shelling of Yeonpyeong Island in 2010 does not happen again.

8 things that'll make you fall in love with Europe in winter
1. Stroll through the igloo village at Hopfgarten
During the winter months, a tiny group of igloos are created in the Hochbrixen mountain station. It's easy to access for non-skiiers and showcases an Igluhotel, church, restaurant, bar and sculptures. Grab yourself an ice glass and warm up with a drink while you admire the colourful lighting effects.
2. Feast on pub meals in London
Let's admit it – there's not much better than a good ol' hearty pub meal. Make the most of the Sunday roast special, feed your cravings with a perfectly cooked roast with vegetable and Yorkshire pudding. Top it off with a pint of beer or a glass of red. It's the ideal way to warm up and revive before heading back into the cold!
3. Visit Snow and Ice Sculpture Festival Bruges
Explore a world of ice and snow! From November 22 until January 3, Bruges in Belgium is home to an impressive traditional Ice Sculptures Festival. Explore the detailed castles and creatures sculpted before heading to the ice bar to warm.
4. Toboggan and ski in Berlin
Make your way to the suburb of Grunewald on the outskirts of Berlin, where during certain times of the year you can skate on lakes, toboggan and ski. Grunewald is packed with picture perfect scenery and is even more stunning during the winter months when the trees are stripped and covered in white.
5. Celebrate Christmas twice in Amsterdam
What's better than Christmas? Celebrating Christmas twice of course! On the 5th of December, Sinterklaas (or Santa Claus) brings gifts for the children and 20 days later he returns with more gifts. The Dutch sure love a family party with official Christmas celebrations lasting over two-days.
6. Celebrate Maslenitsa - Crepe Week in Moscow
Maslenitsa (aka Crepe Week) is a celebration of the end of winter chills and the start of Spring in Eastern Slavic countries. The celebration is generally held in late February to early March. Once you've filled your bellies with delicious crepes, join in the sleigh rides, snowball fights and sledding.
7. Watch an Aurora Borealis
This list wouldn't be complete if we didn't include the aurora borealis. With good timing and a bit of pot luck, you could witness this the magical phenomenon from within Arctic Circle including Scotland, Norway, Finland, Sweden and Russia.
8. Cosying up by the fireplace
Gingerbread, Glühwein, cosy fireplaces, hot chocolates and hearty meals are a just few of our favourite things about winter. Going from cold weather outside to the comfort and warmth of indoors is a wonderful feeling. The magic of winter can certainly be celebrated both inside and outside.
Right now you can grab some great Last minute Deals on Europe Winter trips. Check them out here.

Congrats to Le Bernardin. After bafflingly scoring a C-worthy score during a recent inspection, it raked in a mere ten demerit points during its follow-up earlier this week. Its now able to proudly display its A. At the moment, we cant tell you what, exactly, Riperts restaurant ended up getting docked for, other than to say there was a minor plumbing issue, because the Health Departments fancy new inspection-results site is constantly, constantly down. Every other time weve tried to access it in the past month, weve gotten a taking too long to respond page. Therefore, we give the site a big fat C no, an F. Now, if we could only fine the Health Department for wasting our freaking time. Anyway, congrats Le Bern!

Omaha police are looking for the man who tried to rob a gas station, but left empty-handed.
Officers were called to the Mega Saver, near 24th and P Street, just before nine o'clock Sunday night. Employees said a man came in and pulled out a knife. He demanded cash, but ended up leaving without any.
No one was hurt. Police searched the area, but did not make any arrests.

Make Taking Vitamins Delicious with Choc-V's
If you have kids at home that love chocolate but hate taking vitamins, then you need to have them try Choc-V's. Mary doesn't really mind taking vitamins, but I won't let her take any that aren't totally natural. And unfortunately, that's almost like finding a needle in a haystack now. Even major brands that are in the grocery stores have high fructose corn syrup in them and other ingredients that I can't even pronounce. And my rule of thumb is, if I can't spell it, then I'm not eating it!
Recently I was asked to check out Choc-V's with Mary and see what she thought of them. When I first got the box, I read the back intently to make sure they really were all natural, which they are! Plus as an added bonus, they are made in Israel and since we're Jewish, that just made us love them even more.
The vitamins themselves are about the size of a gummy bear and look like little bears too. We sampled the white chocolate flavor and as you can see, Mary really loved them! For once, she actually asks if it's time to take her vitamins! And since they're made of chocolate, she has no idea they're really good for her too!
We've been giving Mary one a day for about two weeks now and she has no complaints at all. She loves taking them and I love that they're all natural for her too. Overall I'm really happy that I found a natural vitamin for her that I can trust.
Plus Choc-V's are currently running a new campaign that's called "Everything Is Better With Chocolate, Chocolate Is Better With Vitamins." The campaign introduces a simple way to "chocofy" (add a layer of delicious chocolate) any website and share it with your friends. The chocofier is being launched in celebration of Choc-V's recent re-branding, as well as their mass release in CVS stores across the country. Websites can be chocofied with a white, milk, or dark chocolate flavor. Just check mine out with the milk chocolate flavor!
Pretty cool right? If you want to share with your friends, then go to Choc-V's and chocofy any site!

I've never tried these before. The kids love the gummies but these would surely turn out to be a big second with them. I'm with you, if I can't pronounce it I'm not eating it. We try and go the all natural way although sometimes it's not always possible but I do try as much as I can. Will have to give these a look into. Thanks for sharing.

November 28, 2014
TULSA, Okla. (AP) - Cameron Seitzer and Garrett Buechele had big blasts as Oklahoma powered its way past Oklahoma State with five home runs Friday night to win the opening game of the Bedlam series 7-6.
Seitzer had a go-ahead two-run shot in the fifth inning as the Sooners (34-12, 11-9 Big 12) rallied back from an early four-run deficit by teeing off against Cowboys starter Tyler Lyons (3-5).
Lyons had allowed only five home runs all season before Oklahoma unloaded against him. Cody Reine, Chris Ellison and Seitzer each homered in a four-run fifth inning.
Buechele tacked on a two-run shot in the bottom of the seventh. That gave the Sooners enough breathing room to absorb Luis Uribe's pinch-hit two-run homer for Oklahoma State (26-19, 7-12) in the eighth.
Ryan Duke pitched a scoreless ninth to save the game for Zach Neal (7-1).

Rendezvous - all starters meal?
- Allstonian Sep 18, 2009 07:24 AM
Barmy and I are planning to treat ourselves to dinner at Rendezvous tonight. We looked at the menu online, and were struck by the fact that there are a LOT of starters, and they all look terrific. Have others made dinners there with only a selection of small plates? Is it a reasonable thing to do?
re: StriperGuy
I'll 2nd those choices!!!
re: StriperGuy
Sardines? I love sardines but have never noticed them on the menu. Details, please!
re: heathermb
They don't have them all the time, but they do wonderful fresh grilled sardines. So tasty just with a bit of sea salt and pepper.
They are even mentioned in this article about Sardines by Corby Kummer in The Atlantic:
Not recently, but these are two I'd choose:
Potato gnocchi with braised beef cheeks, green peppercorns, spinach and breadcrumbs 13
Grilled merguez sausage with spiced yogurt sauce and pomegranate 9
This is a great idea, as their starters are very nice. Be sure to get and enjoy the wonderful bread that they serve.
By the way, Rendezvous has a great fixed price three course meal on Sunday nights that is a good bargain.
Did a 3-person all-starters meal there a few weeks ago. Started with colder dishes, of which I liked the ceviche best. Be forewarned it comes in a spicy chili oil (good for me, bad for someone in my group). The middle eastern sampler was just meh. Scallops were exactly right. The squid with sausage was easily the star of the night, and the potato gnocchi with foraged mushrooms was probably second most liked at the table. I also loved the sardines, but one of the dining crew found them too strong...
re: wilbanks
FYI - the swordfish kebab appetizer that I had there a few days ago was very good, but note that it the kitchen makes it "medium rare".
re: wilbanks
I'll second the gnocchi and the scallops - absolutely fantastic. The salads were delicious too...
re: BarmyFotheringayPhipps
Posted above about the charcuterie and I'm certain I've also had the cheese. Steve Johnson is responsible for "one perfect cheese" at the Blue Room and the selections are exquisite. But neither one of them is very big so bear that in mind if you're starving.
re: yumyum
Good to know, but we're going directly to a concert at the Y after, so I wouldn't want to feel too stuffed. We learned that the hard way having dinner at Picante before we saw the Circulatory System at the same venue earlier this week. Note: the "side nachos" at Picante are more than enough for two people.
re: yumyum
I have had both twice (always 3 cheese selection) and were I to choose, I would go for the cheese. I actually thought it was substantial for a opening course, the wait staff had good wine suggestions, and it was different both times (with at least one outstanding cheese). Whatever other little bits they added went well with the cheeses. The charcuterie plate I thought was good tasting, but I was a bit disappointed. Small portion, exactly the same both times, I love mortadella but wanted some kind of cured meat (at least bresola which they have offered). Or maybe sausages which they sometimes offer on the main menu (like duck three ways) which are excellent. Less presentation than other restaurants, brusque explanation of what was included. The figs, serrano ham, etc they have on the site now would draw me a lot more.
The other thing I would say is don't overlook dishes there that sound very simplistic -- I haven't had the current menu, but the bluefish cakes with cool cucumber salad comes to mind as something where you might say "eh bluefish, cucumber, I'll go for moroccan spices... etc." Some of their more subtle dishes are some of their better ones (I have had some great simple halibut and cod preparations) and some of the less subtle ones are ehh to me (for instance the paella they were doing for a while, a spicy shrimp dish which sounded great and wasn't). And I always loved with SJ did with citrus at the blue room, so I look out for citrus items their chef puts on the menu.
re: itaunas
Agreed on the simple fish dishes. Very good indeed.
re: BarmyFotheringayPhipps
I haven't had the charcuterie but I have had the cheese plate as dessert (after having a meal of starters) and I really enjoyed it. We were sitting at the bar when I did that but the bartender was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the cheese which made it more fun.
The whole current app menu looks fabu, but I like to remind people that the veggie antipasto here is always worthwhile, and a good way to bring down the animal-fat payload.
Thanks to all for your excellent advice. We had a total of six dishes, which was perhaps one too many, although it was difficult afterwards to decide on one that we should have skipped.
We started with half a dozen oysters, the charcuterie plate, and a salad of Boston lettuce with apples, sharp cheddar cheese, dried cranberries, and spicy pecans. All were excellent; Barmy especially loved the salad, of simple but perfect and perfectly combined ingredients. The charcuterie included bresaola, mortadella, a terrific pate, duck rillettes, and...something else I never got clearly identified but it was delicious. Garnishes included cornichons, caper berries, olives, and a single fig (cut in half) which reminded both Barmy and me that while neither of us cares much for dried figs, fresh ones are lovely.
We moved on to the merguez sausage, the bluefish cakes, and the gnocchi. All three were outstanding. By the time we got to the gnocchi I was full and feared that I would only pick at the dish, but I found myself fighting Barmy for spoonful after spoonful.
Finished with the buttermilk pudding, which we hadn't expected to be a baked pudding and which was just as terrific as everyone says it is.
Sardines were not on the menu or I would surely have ordered them. Barmy insisted that I pick only one of the seafood offerings so I went with the bluefish cakes and did not regret the choice - they were fantastic.
One tiny off note: I should have gone with my first instinct and had a glass of wine. My cocktail, the Nehru, was the one thing I didn't actually care for. The menu said "saffron gin, lemon, cardamom" - the problem was that "lemon" meant a swath of lemon zest fully one inch by three, powerfully fragrant and interacting with the saffron-infused gin to create a rather medicinal taste. Oh well!
re: Allstonian
Yippee! And happy you chose the buttermilk pudding cake - maybe my favorite dessert in town.
re: yumyum
TASTY. I don't even like lemon desserts but that one rocks.
re: StriperGuy
In case you're interested in trying it yourself ... Steve has shared the lemon buttermilk pudding recipe in the past.
re: ohnofoodlovr
Wow-- I had never even thought to ask. I would love to be able to make the pudding at home when the craving strikes and I can't get a babysitter. Definitely one of the most satisfying desserts around.
re: whimsey
If someone gets it, please share on the Home Cooking board. I never make dessert and rarely even EAT dessert but I would make an exception in this case.
didn't have an all starters meal but did have a great meal at rendezvous last night! we shared the scallops with butternut squash puree and the bluecakes for apps - both delicious, with the bluecakes really being amazing. i got the swordfish and dc got the steak - both really good and cooked perfectly. we also shared a bottle of beaujolais that was delicious as well - such a great atmosphere and really friendly service - i love this place!
