I am a notorious last minute costume maker. My wife and I found this wonderful rigid felt at our local craft store. It comes in 12x24 inch sheets and will hold a shape. A little glue, and a few safety pins and we have a flower hat for dad and dragonfly wings for mom (Bee jumper from target for $12). This stuff was great, cuts with scissors, holds it shape even at right angles. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cmoewes/281800631/

Nuno Gaspar de Oliveira's curator insight, November 2, 12:38 PM
Ecological economist Bill Rees argues that our ancient "triune" brain is hard-wired for short-term rewards, and those rewards have been amplified by the abundance of our fossil fuel driven economy. Our brain, which runs on an outdated OS, has leveraged its propensity for denial to construct a myth of perpetual growth wherein we can grow the economy and achieve short-term rewards forever.

Financial manager?
See how well you suit this job in Career Planner.
A financial manager is responsible for providing financial advice and support to clients and colleagues to enable them to make sound business decisions. Specific work environments vary considerably and include both public and private sector organisations, such as multinational corporations, retailers, financial institutions, NHS trusts, charities, manufacturing companies, universities and general businesses.
Financial considerations are at the root of all major business decisions. Clear budgetary planning is essential for both the short and long term, and companies need to know the financial implications of any decision before proceeding. In addition, care must be taken to ensure that financial practices are in line with all statutory legislation and regulations.
Financial managers may also be known as financial analysts or business analysts.
The roles of financial managers vary significantly. The generic nature of the job title can be misleading as the level and scope of the responsibilities involved in any role can differ enormously. In larger companies for instance, the role is more concerned with strategic analysis, while in smaller organisations, a financial manager may be responsible for the collection and preparation of accounts.
In general, tasks across roles may include:

Thank you so much for this recipe, they look delicious! I can't wait to try this!!
French Macarons (Part II)
French macarons are the holy grail of vegan dessert in my opinion. Following a combination of Hannah Kaminsky's mint macaron recipe in Vegan Desserts and research into foams and non vegan macarons, I've got a macaron now that is fairly reliable, though not close to perfect.
My problem, still, is hollow centers. I have theories, but I don't get around to making macarons everyday to experiment. I think my biggest problem is that the batter is too thick (too much almond meal slash powdered sugar), so the shells get too big and puffy. Playing around with temperature and the egg whites might also help.
Regardless, I'll share with you my macaron recipe as I work on it now. I hope this can be useful for many people as a jumping off point and I really hope we can collaborate to improve the recipe. As before, my recipe relies on Versawhip as the main foaming agent. Also, I've since gotten a stand mixer, and I love it. The whisk attachment is good for making the foam.
This recipe is a lemon variation, which is all too appropriate for summer.
- 15 g cane sugar
- 57 g almond meal
- 115 g powdered sugar
- 57g water
- 1/2 tsp Versawhip
- 15 g Ener-G Egg Replacer powder (~2Tbl)
- 1/4 tsp xanthan gum powder
- 1/4 tsp fine lemon zest
- 2 drops of yellow food coloring (optional)
- Put the 15 g cane sugar in a food processor and pulse to create superfine sugar, set aside.
- Whisk the water and egg replacer until foamy, let stand for 2 minutes.
- Put the almond meal and powdered sugar in the food processor and pulse to combine and destroy any clumps. Don't over mix or over heat the mixture (we don't want almond butter).
- Place the egg replacer/water foamy mixture in the bowl of your stand mixture along with the Versawhip and xanthan gum. With the whisk attachment on low, slowly add the superfine sugar. Increase the speed to medium, add the lemon zest and food coloring, and then increase to high until you get stiff peaks (the volume wasn't enough to get my whisk attachment into, so I had to lift the bowl up a bit).
- Once you have stiff peaks, turn off the machine and fold in your almond mixture, carefully. Many macaron recipes say that the batter should flow in ribbons like hot lava (whatever that means).
- With a piping bag or zip lock bag with the corner cut, pipe 1.5″ circles of batter onto a silpat or parchment paper which is on a baking sheet. Smooth out any bumps and tap the sheet pan to knock out any air bubbles.
- Now, importantly, let the batter sit, at room temperature, in a well ventilated room for 1-3 hours. This is essential in keeping the shape and making feet. You want the shells to be dry to the touch.
- Bake the shells at 300°F for 10-14 minutes. You can double stack your sheet pans to help with insulation so the bottoms don't burn.
- For these lemon macarons, I sandwiched them with left over lemon icing for cupcakes from my sister.
Additional shots of my stand mixer. I love that it's red. We actually got it for about half off at TJ Max.
As always, we love to hear what you think.

cn i use condensed milk instead of egg white replacer
Wow I didn't think vegan macarons were possible but these look amazing!
Hi Dan
They look great! They're such delicate little things that take up so much attention but we just can't help try to make them! I just tried Hannah Kaminsky's recipe last night. For a first attempt I'm pretty happy. Although I wondered if I could ask – the bottoms of my shells stuck to the paper – did this happen to you or do you get proper bottoms to your shells? It may be I need to switch paper/keep in the oven longer. Also – how long did you leave yours to form skin before putting in the oven?
I've tried this recipe which worked but definitely more meringue like than macaron but Mattie gives some interesting science explanations about macarons and making them vegan that might help… http://www.veganbaking.net/coo.....ue-cookies I'll be experimenting with xanthum gum and soy protein soon.
hey dan!
first id like to say thanks for sharing your recipe and experience with baking vegan macaroons! not many will share and like you, i think it could be easily collaborated to make them perfect.
i own a vegan, gluten free and organic pastry food truck in florida… been attempting to make these for a few months now but always get side tracked with business. When i found your recipe i decided to give it another go so heres my experience!!!
I made them using your recipe but changed the baking time, after talking to a few pastry chefs (who all also laughed when i explained how ive been trying to make VEGAN macaroons). but the one thing they ALL said that was most important was baking them at a low temperature for a long time. so I let them sit out for about an hour and a half and then baked at 275 degrees for 1 hour. never opening the oven. then as soon as my timer when off i placed them in my bottom oven to rest for 10-15 mins.
they came out so much better than my past few tries! they had feet!!! the centers did not cave in at all when i bit into them however i may lower the temperature even more next time because i would have like them a little more chewy inside. I hope this helps other adventurous bakers like you and I!
they where a bit hollow but i think if i took them out a few mins earlier or had a lower temp they would have filled in? I also didn't make the almond flour as fine as it should have been so i will change that as well..
Hi Dan,
Are you still working on these? I'm starting an obsession, but have had two rounds of big fails!
I'm using soy protein isolate, as it's way cheaper than versawhip… But I wonder if that has something to do with it! One round was super hollow and puffy. I tried another recipe that was so flat and just spread everywhere… Wondering if you had any more luck getting yours 'just right!' They look great at least!
FINALLY! A vegan french macaron recipe! I'm a pastry chef in New York and this has been my mission for ages! My best advice for you on the hollow centers is to make sure that you sift your dry ingredients 3x before folding it into the wet. It removes the ability of the dry to clump together, and thus, makes it more evenly distributed in the batter. Keep folding until the batter has the consistency of lava-like you posted- or flows off an uplifted spatula like slime. The consistency when you pipe the batter is key to avoiding hollow centers and getting that flat shiny top. My macarons come out best when baked at 350 for about 10-12 minutes. The best way to check is to use an offset spatula to lift the cookies off the parchment. If they pull away easily, they are done. A final tip, macaron are so much more delicious after resting overnight in the fridge. It aids to the chewy texture and avoids the "breaking" that occurs when you bite into the macaron. Take them out an hour before serving. Again, I cannot thank you enough for this recipe. You are a savior! Best Wishes!
When I made regular french macarons, ive beaten that hollow macarons by tapping the tray on the table 3-4 times after im done piping the macarons.
I just attempted your recipe with all the readers' suggestions. Everything was fine until I baked the macs at 350 F, as Dana the pastry chef recommended. I think high temperature was what ruined them: for the first five minutes, they looked OK with feet gradually growing. Then I went to another room and, when I returned 5 minutes later to take them out, they looked exploded and bubbly: the "guts" exploded through their feet all around, while the shells remained mostly intact. I lowered the temperature to 300 and baked them for another 10 min, but it didn't help. When the cookies cooled, I cut the guts off and filled the remaining shells with chocolate ganache. Needless to say, the shells were completely empty inside and the texture was gummy. They were quite tasty anyways, but I call it a failure.
Also, it would be nice if you said how many cookies your proportions yield. I had 12 shells and 6 cookies total.
I hope my experience helps others.
I bit the bullet and bought a pound of the versawhip and I made my first ever macarons yesterday. I doubled the above recipe and ended up with 24 complete macarons. I added pistachio flour/meal (3 parts almond meal to 1 part pistachio meal) to try and mimic my favorite commercially available vegan macaron (Sweet Maressa's in New Paltz, NY) and the flavor was excellent. My piping technique definitely needs improvement because the discs were too tall to begin with, but since I have access to two ovens, I tried two different temperature/time combinations based on the comments above. I may have added in too much moisture by wetting my finger tips to tame the peaks of the precooked macarons, but I left them rest for about 4 hours before baking them. They both went into the ovens at the same time. Half were baked at 350F for 14 minutes and they ended up with hollow tops. The other half were baked at 250F for an hour and 10 minutes, and the tops were not hollow! Some developed feet, but I think I may try the next batch without the pistachio flour addition and see if that helps the feet develop. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe & tips!

This page documents steps taken to improve our GeoTools document= ation for users (aka those programmers who use geotools as= a library). This page was started in April 2006 around the 2.2.RC2 version= of Geotools.=20
The following work has been started:=20
The proposal is presented at the top. Below is the stream of discussion = during development of the proposal.=20
A "Programmer's Manual" will be created, similar to the = "Developer's Manual," but focused on users of the Geotools librar= y rather than those improving the library itself.=20
The idea of this documentation project is to make a minimum amount of wo= rk for maintenance while giving users a solid start into the codebase. = ;=20
This proposal does demand of the pr= oject that it make a commitment to keeping the tutorials in functioning ord= er by updating the tutorials when the Geotools library changes.= =20
Okay so this page gathers together some ideas towards fixing the docs, i= t will not cover why they are broken. This is part of the geotools "gr= owing up" process, and something we want to nail before graduation fro= m the OSGEO inccubation process.=20
I would just like to thank the community for the strong show of support = for this topic, we all know it is important, and this page outlines what is= going to be done.=20
I also must appologize for my focus here, I am not look= ing for more, I am looking for less. The goal here is to = identify what documentation we can maintain and keep up to date as a commun= ity, we can add additional things later.=20
Yes our toys are fun, once they use it they will know.=20
They will see us on the email list, the wiki signs our work, svn blame k= nows all and we thank our sponsors on seperate page.=20
The user cannot be asked to keep TC211, 19119, 19115 and so on straight,= just don't go there girl friend!=20
Tip: use the language as if the user knew what you were talking about. S= ay Feature and Geometry and Metadata.=20
Any thing covered by a specification or a book, we are not an intro. (I = feel bad about this but we need to get our own house in order before we can= try and help people learn GIS, I know you are all excited about the field,= and many of you teach, but this has got to be a firm requirement).=20
We are here to document a library, not explain what is going on. Documen=
t as if the reader
understands GML3.
Patterns are fun, tradeoffs are fun. Users do not care. I will need to r= estrain my self.=20
We are not here to explain why transacction is such a cool use of patter= ns, or why the graph api is so good. It is obvious that WMS uses the strata= gy pattern when you read the class names, the reader can understand from WM= S1_1_0Stratagy class what forces were balanced (and why),=20
No time spent on justification, much like the decision to leave ISO 1911= 9 naming this is better handled in javadocs. We are focused on use, not def= ence. This is code, if it runs who cares.=20
No Omondo, No Viso nothing we cannot keep up to date. I know it is next = to impossible to explain the big picture without a picture. Talk to Andrea = about getting diagrams as part of our javadocs.=20
I am not intereted in explaining the big picture right now, we can write= some articles later. The small picture will do as long as we explain enoug= h small pictures. We can organize our docs bottom up however so that by the= time we are looking at rendering the SLD will not scare them.=20
So after all that what is left? Here is a set of guidelines that have pr= oduced usable docs, and have been explicit enought to make writing easy.=20
Yes it looks like we could write a tutorial here, and you can (just not = now).=20
This section typically contains broad overview information. The Workbenc= h User Guide provides two tutorials in this section, namely, Basic Tutorial= and Team Tutorial. They mainly present high-level information to introduce= the information in the rest of the guide.=20
Just the facts, these serve to keep us for explaining what a Feature is =
badly on many different pages. This gives us
a single page to explain= what a Feature is badly This is also where we would link to external = resources like OGC
and ISO specifications.
Conceptual topics present an in-depth discussion of ideas, architecture,= technologies, solutions, or processes. Concepts are high-level description= s of the schema and functions of the plug-in tool. This section helps provi= de a general understanding of how the plug-in functions. For example, in th= e Workbench User Guide, the Concepts section includes a discussion of what = perspectives and views are and how they relate to one another.=20
Additionally, conceptual topics should not contain procedures, which are= documented in task topics (Tasks section). Therefore, use conceptual topic= s to provide a comprehensive discussion of the processes or options behind = a procedure, and include links to related task topics._=20
2.3: No specific goals, just write a page here when you are tempted to e=
xplain something
2.next: it would be nice to walk through each specif= ication and make sure we have it covered.
Numbered list indicating how a given task should be performed in prose.<= /p>=20
Task topics tell users how to do something. Users who access task topics= typically are focused on the job at hand, so provide them with a procedura= l presentation of the information they require. Task descriptions are step-= by-step instructions for performing specific actions and tasks in the platf= orm. For example, the Tasks section contains step-by-step instructions for = creating a repository location, and for importing a file from the file syst= em into the workbench.=20
Task topics are comprised of the following sections:=20
Use links to direct the user to related information; task topics do not = provide conceptual information or present reference material.=20
Include a code example at the end. The
code example must be upto d= ate, even if all it ends up being is a link to a file in the demo directory= . If we can
inline the code example from svn we will do it.
This is mostly covered by javadocs - go team! This is where many of the =
articles will go to die, anything
worthwhile should be placed in the = codebase in doc-files directories.
General reference topics document non-conceptual or non-procedural stand= -alone information. Examples of general reference topics can include descri= ptions of various workbench resources such as wizards, dialogs, views and p= erspectives, as well as, a list of keyboard shortcuts, a glossary, or JavaD= ocs information. Reference materials are helpful resources that will assist= the user while using the platform. Additionally, you can use this section = to site relevant external reference material. Information in general refere= nce topics is often used to supplement other conceptual, task, and referenc= e topics.=20
I am tagging in Adrian here as a champion of the user, his dedication to= larning geotools has been great. And I hope that all his scars have not ye= t healed, so he can help us remember what there is to trip over.=20
Now we did spend some time offline on scope, and we are finding some com= mon ground.=20
If we are going to do this well, we must ensure that we have a minimum coverage of all the basic topics: Data Model, Rendering Model, ( not Control since that's implementation dependent).=20
Snippets are fine later in the process but are not good intros because they don't give the import statements (which are critical to finding t=
I think we should expect to have a working human readable example+test for each of the datastores.=20
Cover the entire library
Have code examples (that run) rather = then snippets
I am scared of code example for each datastore, I = would rather have developers use the API
Much like for uDig, I think you all should put together a full,
he= avy-weight SDK package which includes all the binary, source and
docu= mentation data. The idea is to show people how to read the code and
j= avadocs as much as how to code because we are trying to ge= t them to
become self-sufficient as quickly as possible. This means t= hat the JTS
jar, for example, must include source and ideally the ecl= ipse metadata
so we can skip into that code when we hit it. I would d= o this myself but
I have no clue how to do this. Act= ually, I would be interested to
As a corrollary, I would like our examples to end with 'further code
reading' pointing to sections of the code that do similar things. This would help introduce people to the geotools packages as well.
Getting Started: Starting a Maven 2 Project
Getting Started: S= tarting a Eclipse Project (using a binary and source download)
We can start this now (since referencing is stable for 2.3.x). We can us=
this as an example for review during Monday's meeting.
Transformation is at the core of the geo aspect of the library. I
= suspect we need to start with an explanation of CRS at least so far as
mentioning the different kinds of CRS's and the EPSG authority.
This page is great:
http://svn.geotools.org/geotools/= trunk/gt/demo/referencing/src/org/geotools/demo/referencing/CTSTutorial.jav= a
but not so much as a snippet.
This would result in a simple projection converter:
geoProjectionC= onvert --input simple.shp --output WGS84 reproject.shp
again working as an example.=20
We will not have introduced Shapefiles yet, so the converter is not= going to work as an example=20
We still got to work through this one, Jody wanted this:
Introdu= ce FeatureType (aka the Feature Model)
Introduce Feature (aka the D= ata model)
Introduce Expression (data acess)
Introduce Filt= er (query language)
Introduce Data Reading
Introduce Data W= riting
And Adrian wants to go the other way:=20
Building a Feature was critical for me since that was an intro to the
Data Model. Actually, I would like a three part:
Each of these would be a seperate application, we had thought of a simpl=
file converter bringing them together (but it made Jody nervous).= p>=20
on complete examples programs, if possible I would like to use the sim=
to allow the examples to remain independent of shapefi= le for as long as possible.
This should obviously wait until they have refactored the renderer. If we need to write the MapPane then let's do it---you have seen how
painful the current situation is to new users. (let's delete the others)<= br /> and leave links on the wiki to revisions where they can be found.
Removing the others (they are already "gone" due to legacy d= ependency)=20
Similarly, I would like a=20
Greate we can use this to make earlier examples visible,
and the= n explain how it was done here.
These can be more freeform, more compact (snippets) more vague. By the time a user gets to these, she has a solid background in navigating an=
using the library so we can be more terse.
Lets just not do this, remember the 80% focus

Lyrica for narcotic withdrawal
Common Questions and Answers about Lyrica for narcotic withdrawal
So, if you are using
as a pain killer, and it works
you (it does
me) and you are worried about addiction, don't.

i've been on
about 4 years
fibromyalgia - it has been a miracle drug for me. i have missed doses at times, but have never had anything like you described. sounds like maybe sciatica to me. the sciatic nerve runs down your leg.

just wondering if anyone knows and how bad will this
be? I am really scared Have been on Sub
a year- and just want to be off- shooting for 6-7 weeks Anyone out there?

So taking
isn't a substitute
hydrocodion in any way? None of the same substances.

Hey! Wow that is a very high dose! I was never addicted to
and it didn't even work
me! I am on my 3 rd week of having weird, hellish withdrawals from weaning off the lyrica! I know and read that their is a chance of being addicted if taking in really high doses. You need to go see your doctor immediately and tell him the true about how much your taking and that your addicted. You need to wean down slowly! If you need any help just PM me!
Read More
it's different enough that NEURONTIN works
my pain and
does nothing! but
is the 1st drug approved
fibromyalgia too. also, make sure it really was neurontin which is also gabapentin.
Read More
I took
a while and never had
and have never heard of anyone withdrawaling from it. Lyrica is a non narcotic med it does not goto the receptors in your brain so there should be no withdrawal because it actually goes to the pain and calms nerve pain by helping I guess you would say calming down a extra sensitive nerve that causes pain. I could very well be wrong about there being no withdrawal from it but I'm bout 99.

I have been on and off pain medication for the last two years. Between several surgeries
my kidney, lungs and my tubes tied
medical reasons. In the time span of three months I had been on Narco 5/500 1-2 tablets every four to six hours as needed. Just this past week I have started healing and trying to get back to normal after 4 surgeries in just 6 weeks. I came off my meds because I didn't need them anymore and went through a horrible withdraw.
Read More
I took
fibromylgia, it worked
the pain but the weight gain and my hands and feet swelling didnt. If you read the pamplet that comes with it,, it states it can be come addictive if the patient has an addictive personality. My doctor also had to slowly decrease my dosage when it was discovered I couldnt take it for the side effects.. I think it is like alot of meds, works differently for different people. just be careful and stay under your doctor's care while taking it.
Read More
We're all lab rats! Yep, cymbalta and
together worked great
me, other than the
side effect of weight gain, coupled with sudden onset hypertension- I had to come off of it :( But it seriously reduced my pain by like 80%. Good luck!

He is finishing this tomorrow but is complaining of severe back pain. Back injury was the reason
the oxy to begin with. They are trying
. I am worried about it's reproductive harm issues, addictive properties, abuse potential, etc... The nurse at the clinic told me that probably nothing would remove his pain as the oxy's did so to be warned that he may go back to them unless he is willing to live with pain.
Read More
But I know all this will pass, and taking any narcotic will just start me all over again. If I were him I would stay on the clonidine if it helps, for a little while more. I'm still taking clonidine and still having withdrawel, so I don't think it's the clonidine. Tell him to hang in there. Read my post a few questions down, and some of the answers , that should help.

Had emergency bowel surgery in 2008 was in hospital
three months and on a vac machine for a further eight months and have been on oxycontin since i left hospital was on 60mg per day up to two months ago but now have weaned myself down to 40mg i also take lyrica 400mg per day i am finding it very difficult coming off oxycontin dont no if its pain or withdrawl symptoms could anyone help me Holl

I have tried Lyrica with no change in symptoms started taking Ralivia (Tramadol) last winter found that it was helpful for pain but when I went to stop taking this went through huge
symptoms was horrible. Am currently taking T#3/Advil
pain sometimes Percocet
really bad days. I do not want to take these analgisics as they are also highly addictive. Anyone know of any other meds without narcotic that have been helpful for treatment of symptoms? .
Read More
but then started having chest pain and palpitations similar to when I was withdrawing from
. first question- Is this normal
. I took 2 otc motrin, and 1 otc,benadryl and this helped. but by the afternoon the anxiety was so bad I took 1/2 tab of ativan slept for three ours and right now I feel pretty good...almost normal. I was reluctant to use the ativan because I an so afraid of a new addiction.
Read More
I'm not sure I'm in the right place but I've looked around for an hour and only found questions and answers about this from 2002. I'm looking
from Hydrocodone. I don't want to stop taking it because it is controlling my pain but my husband will be retiring in April and we are loosing our health insurance. He will get Medicare but I am not eligible. We do have the VA as a health provider also since we are Veterans but the VA Dr.

There are recovering opiate addicts that have shared that
was HARDER
them and they explain their personal h*ll in an attempt to help other people. I, for one, REALLY appreciate them for doing that. Because there are SO many drugs out there and many people are not pro-active about what they put in their bodies.....I'm just loving you enough to share what I've been reading. That old posts has some VERY good facts on it. Teresa feels strongly about Tramadol, and I understand why.
Read More
I don't even know if any of the normal therapies
would work
tramadol, but I've somewhere down the road anyway. I just wish I knew how long it would all take. It's so muc easier to be in a hard place if you know when it's going to end. I guess I'm paying for my pain free months this month. I am trying to manage it with kratom to have days that are at least partially productive. I'm hoping I'll get some feedback on that as well. Good luck keeping yourself off drugs.

It was alot harder for me to get off of but everyone's different. I started to take them more
the buzz than the pain. There's a fairly new
, I tried it for a while after the Oxy's and it worked pretty well. I don't take any narc's now, and it was much easier to get off of. It's called Vicoprofen, combination of Vicoden and Ibuprofen, the combination is alittle easier on your stomach than Ibuprofen. I recently went to a pain management Dr..

Ive had good luck with the Flector patch
the arthritis in knee and neck. Its non-
but you do need a script for it. You place it on the site of the pain. Good luck to you.

I have been reading all over the net that Neurontin is great taking the edge off
. And it isn't supposed to have an addictive side effect. I've had a bottle
6 months that my doctor gave me for headaches that lasted 2 weeks steady up one side of my head due to a neuralgia of a nerve in my head. The pain finally went away but I still have the pills. I may test it out to see if it does really help but I thought I would see if anyone here had any luck with it.
Read More
I still haven't found the solution to non
pain relief
Fibromyalga either. I did a really quick taper from
and Effexor in January, as per my doctor's instuctions. It was supposed to last 3 weeks I believe. I just remember how horrible I felt. The brain zaps, sweats, chills, upset stomach, you name it and it lasted forever. After 3 weeks I started Cymbalta and then just started getting worse.

someone who has been taking at least 6 or 8, 10 mg percs a day, the dozen 7.5 didn't last long. no matter how hard i try to make them last, if i have them & am hurting, i take them. so i am an addict? or dependent upon these drugs? what is the difference, and please, what are my options???? (please don't suggest neurontin.

After he has adjusted to this dose and is withdrawal free then he should lower the fentanyl to 25 mcg/hr. Again when he has been
about a week then he should go down to 12 mcg. Then when he is ready he should stop. This will not be easy, but the withdrawals should subside in three to four days. Also his Doctor has a legal responsibility, he cannot just stop this medication, this is called abandonment, know your rights believe me he does.
Read More
Then was switched to
which seems to be more agreeable
me...One concern some have raised about the
which I ran across over in the Pain Management Forum is that for a few of those folks, the Lyrica had a bad habit of making them gain weight..Thats not a problem for me though. I have room for a few more lbs.. I do believe the Gabapentin, or Neurontin does help with wd's.

I was taking 15mg of hydrocodone a day for about a month. I can not
the life of me figure out how I could be suffering
. I know all are different, but yesterday I had a screaming headache, and this morning I have anxiety, worse than the last couple of days. I don't have an anxiety to where I have to have the pills, it's just anxious feeling, like before you reach the top of a rollercoster, but it does not go away. I sleep 6 to 8 hours, now, thank god.

I was on the duragesic patch, everything from 25 up to 150 mcg, and in my opinion, there is no worse
than from this
. My doctor had me on this
over 3 years, and I felt this medication worked very well. I was originally on all the "pills", including oxy's, however I was so afraid of getting hooked so I asked my doctor to put me on the Duragesic patch. I never "cut" them, but I did sometimes put a patch on early.

How long does hydrocodine show up in your system
a drug test. I take this drug
the pain I get with Lymes Disease. I'm starting a new job and they will ask for a drug test. How soon do I need to get off of them so it don't show up on my test. Thanks.
Read More
These seizures can occur even if you weren't taking
symptoms are generally nothing more than uncomfortable, though if you end up with seizures, it can be very problematic. However, if you have to wean yourself off of Lyrica and you want to avoid, or at least minimize your chances of contacting these side effects, you should allow yourself time to get off the drug and get it out of your system.

Using her knowledge of the male psyche and her new Five Step program, Shant gives Tiffany the necessary tools she needs to "train" Byron and teach him a lesson for his behavior.

Red Bull believe the reason for Sebastian Vettel's lack of pace so far this year has to do with a fault in his RB10's chassis.
According to Helmut Marko, Red Bull's special advisor, the four-time reigning World Champion is struggling with the rear of their 2014 car, dubbed 'Suzie' by the German racer ahead of the season.
"When downshifting, Sebastian needs a stable rear for his special style of driving. With all the new systems, he doesn't have that yet," Marko is quoted as saying by Germany's Sport Bild.
"In 2012 it was the same and by the time he was happy with the rear he was unbeatable.
"We don't understand why Vettel's tyre wear was so much higher than Ricciardo's [in China] but we're investigating whether his chassis has a fault."
Marko added that the 26-year-old Vettel will be given a new 'Suzie' in order to determine whether the problem indeed lies with the chassis.
"When she's ready, Vettel will get it," Marko added.
"2014 is so complex that even the engineers don't understand everything.
"That makes it even harder for Seb to tune the car to his needs.
"But Sebastian is a perfectionist. He'll tinker with it until he gets it right."

Below is a map of the Welsh 3000s route. Bear in mind, this is a very approximate
map, and depending on how you like to walk and climb it can be quite variable. Those
attempting the Welsh 3000s should be experienced enough to be able to research,
plan and check their chosen route beforehand.
Simply, all peaks marked should be reached - although some would choose not to bother
with Garnedd Uchaf, as it is little more than a bump on the ridge, but this really
should be completed as well.
See the Welsh 3000s map in full screen.
The walk should be started by camping at the top of Snowdon, and then starting with
the dawn sunlight descend the Snowdon peak, via Garnedd Ugain and Crib Goch - a
very exciting and potentially dangerous ridge walk.
From here you should descend to the left of Crib Goch towards the two campsites.
At this point you can meet up with a support car and swap your larger pack for a
small hydration pack, before heading to Nant Peris to climb Elidir Fawr, followed
by Y Garn, the Glyders and Tryfan. Again at the end of this stretch, you can meet
your support car, fill up with water and pick up more food.
This is then followed by the Carnedd walk, bagging Pen yr Ole Wen, Carnedd Dafydd,
Yr Elen, Carnedd Llewelyn, Foel Grach, Garnedd Uchaf and Foel-fras - the Welsh 3000s
Challenge is marked complete when you reach the marker on the peak of Foel-fras.

Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.Ernest Hemingway
The word 'happiness' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.Carl Gustav Jung
Forget about likes and dislikes. They are of no consequence. Just do what must be done. This may not be happiness but it is greatness.George Bernard Shaw
The great thing in the world is not so much to seek happiness as to earn peace and self-respect.T H Huxley
Multitudes of people, drifting aimlessly to and fro without a set purpose, deny themselves such fulfillment of their capacities, and the satisfying happiness which attends it. They are not wicked, they are only shallow. They are not mean or vicious; they simply are empty -- shake them and they would rattle like gourds. They lack range, depth, and conviction. Without purpose their lives ultimately wander into the morass of dissatisfaction. As we harness our abilities to a steady purpose and undertake the long pull toward its accomplishment, rich compensations reward us. A sense of purpose simplifies life and therefore concentrates our abilities; and concentration adds power.Kenneth Hildebrand
Let the resurrection joy lift us from loneliness and weakness and despair to strength and beauty and happiness.Floyd W. Tomkins

I hope that everyone had a great weekend! I was busy running around as usual, but I was able to slow down and spend some quality time with friends and family (and my best friend's new baby girl!) I also tried a great new recipe for flourless cookies. The secret ingredient might surprise you!
1 can of chick peas (drained and rinsed)
2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract
½ cup of almond butter
1/8 cup of agave nectar (or honey)
¼ cup egg whites
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of sugar (I used Truvia)
½ cup of dark chocolate chips
In a food processor, blend everything together except the chocolate chips. Be sure to blend very well.
Fold the chocolate chips into the "batter". Portion out the "batter" on cookie sheets and bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
Be sure to refrigerate cookies once they have cooled. Since there are no preservatives in them, they will go bad if not refrigerated.
You can make these cookies vegan by skipping the egg whites and using an egg-substitute such as flaxseed meal. See my flaxseed "egg" recipe here.
They will not get "crunchy" like regular cookies, so you can expect a moist, fluffy, cake-like consistency. I was surprised that they were so good and that you cannot tell that they are made out of BEANS. They're actually even better 1-2 days later and served cold. I will definitely be making these again and will be experimenting with different spices and ingredients (such as oats and nuts).

"We cannot deny that these are difficult economic times," stated Millman. "However, there is no reason public transportation riders should bear the brunt by paying more money for less service. Next week I will join my colleagues in Albany to hear Governor Paterson's 2009 Budget proposal. The financial state of the MTA will be one of the major issues we work with the Governor to address."
Assemblywoman Millman has been a longtime advocate for reinstating the commuter tax. In addition, she plans to reintroduce residential permit parking legislation when the new Assembly session begins in January 2009. She also has joined numerous elected officials to demand greater fiscal accountability for the MTA. For example, it is believed that the MTA could have sold the Atlantic Yards property for a greater profit.
The MTA will be holding hearings this month throughout New York City regarding its proposed increases in tolls and bus and subway fares and proposed changes in service. Among the most drastic changes proposed by the MTA are the elimination of the B37, B51 and B75 bus lines and severe reduction in service on the B45, B65, B69, and B71 bus lines that run through the district.
The hearing in Brooklyn will be on Wednesday, January 28, 2009 at 6pm at the NY Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge, 333 Adams Street.
For more information on the proposed changes, visit the MTA website at www.mta.info.
"I thank Senator Montgomery and her staff, the panelists and all of the community members who attended this event," said Millman. "Many people have the desire to be more energy efficient, but are not aware of the simple measures they can take to green their homes and businesses. I hope that everyone who attended the workshop passes on this information to their friends and neighbors."
Increasing energy efficiency not only benefits the environment, but can significantly lower utilities costs. Some energy efficient tips include: installing ceiling fans to circulate air; using energy efficient light bulbs, especially in the refrigerator and freezer; and plugging gaps around air conditioner units. In addition, the panelists provided information about grants available for larger scale improvements, such as installation of solar panels. However, the panelists stressed the importance of ensuring homes and businesses adopt all energy conservation measures before incorporating any type of alternative energy source.
Assemblywoman Millman, Chair of the Assembly Standing Committee on Oversight, Analysis and Investigation, led a hearing to assess the effectiveness of the Foreclosure Prevention and Responsible Lending Act of 2008. The hearing was a joint effort, which included Assemblyman Darryl Towns, Chair of the Assembly Standing Committee on Banking and Assemblyman Michael Benjamin, Chair of the Assembly Subcommittee on Regulated Mortgage Lenders. Representatives from the banking community, consumer advocates, and mortgage brokers offered testimony and answered inquiries.
"Due to the gravity of this issue and the devastating impact it has had on families in New York State, we need to stay one step ahead," said Millman. "I am glad that my Assembly colleagues and I were able to hear from those directly involved in this crisis and re-evaluate what is working, what isn't working, and what we may need to do legislatively to improve our response."
The Little Room, a program for preschool-aged children with speech and language delays, will be able to remain at its location at the Brooklyn Heights Montessori School until August 2010. Assemblywoman Millman advocated on behalf of the families when the school's Board of Directors decided to discontinue the Little Room.
"There is an unbelievable need for programs with language and other developmental hurdles," said Millman. "While this is not a permanent solution for the Little Room, it will buy more time to find a suitable location. I will continue to work to save this program."

|There are so many different bridges available on these pages I don't blame you if you are confused, especially when you consider that bridges can profoundly alter the sound you're used to. The thing to remember is that, fortunately, not all banjos are created equal. As well, most people have their own idea about what sounds good, especially when playing in different styles or when playing different types of music. I'm thinking it's not unreasonable to expect that a Don Reno fan might have substantially different sound and tone requirements than someone looking for plunk on an openback banjo. For that reason it would make a lot of sense to dig a little deeper and to consider custom tailoring your sound requirements instead of settling for a one-fits-all mass produced bridge.
|After a lot of trial and error experiments I've narrowed
down the selection of woods pretty good and came up with some rules of
thumb. First, any of the bridges I make will sound really nice on any
banjo so you really cannot make a wrong choice. Second, some wood
combinations however, are more likely to get you the ultimate sound &
tone then others.
Of course, personal preferences vary from player to player, from instrument to instrument and there always are exceptions, but here's some pretty solid clues that'll help you select the most suitable bridge for YOUR banjo and YOUR style of playing.
One thing to keep in mind though, there is a practical height range when it comes to quality sound and/or tone: anything shorter than a 1/2" or taller than 3/4" and well, basically it'll be a thingie that holds up the strings - functional but sound wise you shouldn't expect optimum performance as there's either too little, or too much, mass for getting quality sound. For optimum sound you should try to set up your banjo so it can use a bridge in the range of 1/2" to 11/16". Three finger bluegrass pickers might even want to limit that range to 9/16" ~ 11/16".
|Bridge Wood:
|Mystery, no topping
|Clean/clear sound, excellent volume. Great for clawhammer or toning down overly bright sounding banjos - *the* bridge for Odes
|Especially suitable for old-time yet remarkably clear for 3 finger style
|Mystery, topped
|All around favourite, can't go wrong with this one. Awesome for hard driving bluegrass, fabulous volume & sustain. Terrific volume on the 4th string yet clear as a bell on the other strings. High-end Mastertone style banjos love this one.
|Scruggs/Reno/Melodic style
|Enigma, topped
|Excellent volume and sustain, bright sound, especially suitable for arch tops or to brighten flat tops - exceptional performance on Stellings
|Reno/Stanley style. These enigma bridges are renowned for getting along with sound system EQ settings.
|Teak, topped
|A tad louder and brighter than enigma, arch tops love this one but may be a tad too bright for flat tops. They're also a great choice for lower volume banjos, or entry level to medium price range, like Goodtimes etc., some Gibsons (teak not recommended for Stellings)
|Stanley style, especially with mystery topping
|Topping wood
|Great neutral tone
|For strings of all gauges
|African Blackwood
|A little more melodious than ebony. Hard driving sound but sweeter for slower melodies
|Ideal for light(er) gauge strings
|A smidgen brighter sounding than ebony
|Medium gauge strings love it
|Nice and neutral sound
|The dark red looks awesome
|Bridge Weight
|Regular weight, excellent volume
|Ideal for most banjos with thin skins (mylar, kevlar, frosted, smooth). High end banjos for especially for dynamic sound range, low end & medium banjos for sparkle & volume
|A little heavier, a bit beefier sound
|For some middle of the road banjos or those equiped with thicker heads: fyberskin, thick calf/goat skin (thin real skin counts as a thin head). Wilwood banjos love these B weights.
|String spacing
|42 mm
|"Standard" used to for most mass produced bridges (distance between the 1st and 5th string)
|If you have a came-with-the-banjo bridge this is most likely what you have
|44 mm
|Makes it easier for a lot of people to play cleaner and faster ("Crowe")
|Great for both 3 finger and clawhammer styles
|46 mm
|Prefered by many for clawhammer
|A bit on the wide side for 3 finger
|48 mm
|Some clawhammer players like it this wide
|Not my preference for 3 finger style but then there's Baucom...
|50 mm
|As used by Stealth banjos
|careful, strings will spill over board on many standard necks
|Consider too that you might want to get an seperate bridge for the various styles of music you play. If you do a lot of hard driving bluegrass but want to get a real sweet tone for some slower stuff - what's to stop you from swapping your bridge for the occasion since doing so only takes a couple of seconds...

Paul gave guidelines for Christian's daily living. He shows how righteousness should be put into practice in every relationship.
First of all, in verses 1 and 2, he tells believers what their relationship with God should be — giving oneself completely to God is a "reasonable" service. And it doesn't take making a New Year's resolution to do that.
To look at oneself honestly is to admit that, first of all, a person needs God, and next, people need each other. We have no business thinking ourselves better than another. In the Greek text, the word, "huperphroneo," is used which means "overmuch, i.e. be vain or arrogant." In 1 Thessalonians 5:13, Paul says that if you're going to think highly of anyone, let it be your brother.
Christians live a life of fellowship, service and love — not a life of prohibitions, but a positive life through Christ, who saved us. Fellowship with the saints means interdependence, a right view of oneself in the Body of Christ and spiritual responsibility. Service through the Spirit means the diversity of spiritual gifts to the edification of the saints — not to elevate oneself.
Love makes it all work. Paul said, "Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, Comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work" (2 Thessalonians 2:16, 17).
Finally, Paul said, Pray for us "that the word of the Lord may have free course and be glorified, even as it is with you" (2 Thessalonians 3:1).
There are things (and opportunities) in a Christian's life that contribute to the "free course" of the Word — love without pretense, abhor evil and cleave to good, honor, esteem, fervency, rejoicing, hospitable, caring, not gloating, sympathy, honesty, peace, giving good for evil ... and so forth.
Other things hinder the "free course" of the Word, such as pride, financial problems, exalted opinions, self-exultation, unholy living, un-Christlike personality, comfort-seeking, uncaring, negative attitude and so forth.
Christians are to be the "light" of the world and "salt" of the earth. The child of God is meant to be: 1. Consecration of entire self to God — a living sacrifice given to holy service. 2. Not conformed to this world, but sanctified, spirit-filled with a new nature and new goals. 3. Surrendered life of humility and grace. These are positive things to resolve for a new year.
A runner in a race can't negotiate the course if it has been clogged with junk, trash or other items that block the way. Anything that could hinder has to be taken out of the way. What a wonderful time to "lay aside ..."
"Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us" (Hebrews 12:1).
Put on your running shoes — there are great things ahead in service for the child of God. "Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation, continuing instant in prayer" (Romans 12:12) and "live peaceably with all men" (Romans 12: 17) — this is what our resolve should be.

Professor Zeng's research interests are electroanalytical and surface chemistry at solid electrodes; development of new analytical techniques, chemical and biosensors; hydrodynamic voltammetry, electroactive polymers. The principal techniques are: electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM), rotating ring disk electrodes (RRDE), cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, Biacore surface plasmon resonance (SPR), reflectance adsorption FT-IR, scanning probe techniques (i.e. atomic force microscope (AFM)) and scanning tunneling microscope (STM)) and Network Impedance Analyzer.
Current research focuses on developing piezobiosensors and electrochemical sensors for detection in complex environmental and clinical samples by combining excellent sensitivity of electrochemical and mass sensing with the superb selectivity of biological recognition processes (e.g. protein-protein interactions, DNA-protein interactions, Carbohydrate-protein interactions). Improvements in the affinity, specificity, sensitivity and selectivity and mass production of the molecular recognition elements are pursued by collaboration with biologists, bioorganic chemists and material chemists at Oakland and other universities.
Other projects in Professor Zeng's research group are: (1) development of analytical applications using ionic liquids; (2) studying solid-liquid electrochemical Interfacial phenomena. i.e., the mechanisms of solvent transfer and ion transfer processes of conductive polymers and their effect at polymer microscopic structure during the redox switching. It is expected that such fundamental study will lead to development of new electrode surfaces in which interesting properties can be tailored by incorporating appropriate choosing pair of inorganic, organic and biological constituents.

No matter how many times Christopher Meloni strips for the camera, he can't get it right. He's been peeling off his shirt all afternoon on this New Jersey soundstage, baring his heaving chest and rippling abs as costar Mariska Hargitay and the rest of the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit cast and crew watch with big eyes and open mouths.
And yet, something about the scene just isn't working. ''Chris,'' the director says yet again, ''let's do it one more time.'' Even when sporting more demure detective attire, Meloni is one of the two reasons SVU is the hottest cop drama on television today. Thanks to the 43-year-old actor's brooding intensity (and his workout regimen) and Hargitay's equally alluring tough-chick charm (and her workout regimen), this show about unspeakable sex crimes and the cops who solve them has become a surprise sensation in its sixth year, scoring some of its best ratings ever (a rarity for a show this age), nabbing a Golden Globe win in January for Hargitay (a rarity for any Law & Order series), and outperforming its parent (a rarity for any TV show).
''People hear ching-ching and they come into the room,'' jokes Dick Wolf, the 58-year-old former Madison Avenue adman behind all the Law & Order shows. ''It's Pavlovian.''
And omnipresent. Wolf's stable of shows Law & Order (age: 15), SVU, and Criminal Intent (age: 4) air up to six times a week on NBC and another 40 times on cable. As the Peacock network likes to boast, more than 100 million people will see an L&O episode during any given month. But in September, Wolf's aging empire, aside from SVU, began to look fallible. The original L&O, under attack from CBS' CSI: NY, lost its time slot for the first time in eight years. Criminal Intent was (and still is) being spanked by a bunch of randy Housewives, who have sent the series to its lowest ratings since its first season. And to make matters worse, CI was making headlines for reasons unrelated to its ratings: Tabloids blasted star Vincent D'Onofrio for fainting spells on the set. Then, sadly, in December, Jerry Orbach, one of the most beloved players in Wolf's team, passed away, just as he was helping to launch Wolf's fourth L&O baby, Trial by Jury.
So with Jury debuting on NBC March 3 at 10 p.m. (before moving to Fridays), EW decided it was time to ask some Lennie Briscoe-type questions of a franchise that's changed how networks program television and how viewers watch it. How many shows about cops and lawyers can Wolf juggle? At what point does Wolf spread his franchise too thin? When do his shows start cannibalizing each other's audiences and plotlines? And why did Elisabeth Röhm's Serena suddenly come out of the closet? Indeed, execs at NBC are wondering some of the same things. ''When I heard there was a fourth Law & Order, I was skeptical. You don't want to be all Law & Order all the time. There is a point where you reach a critical mass. But who knows how many is too many,'' says NBC Entertainment president Kevin Reilly, in a moment of remarkable candor. ''There's no upside for Reilly,'' adds one L&O insider. ''If the show falls on its a-- , he's the idiot who ordered a fourth Law & Order. If it's a hit, he gets no credit because all he did was put on another Law & Order.''
