The gorgeous fish glitter with reflection of the sun's rays, juxtaposed against a beautiful backdrop of Rio's mountains. Each sparkles with blue hues from the plastic, but are also illuminated at night, in warm blues and reds from LED and projected lights. The oversized installations welcome visitors to wander through and around their shimmering scales.
Aside from providing a beautiful and surprising installation on the beach, the plastic sculptures also symbolize the threat of over-consumption on our ecosystem, specifically marine life. Each day, the world consumption of plastic bottles reaches epic proportions, with many being thrown into landfills rather than simply being recycled.
The sculpture, created for the UN Conference of Sustainable Development (Rio +20), brings awareness to both the importance of recycling, and its relationship to marine life. The sculptures, which dwarf visitors in size, also show viewers first hand just how massive a simple collection of disused plastic bottles amounts to, giving perspective of a tiny slice of this world wide problem.
The beautiful sculptures can be enjoyed on the idyllic Botafogo Beach for the duration of the Rio +20 conference.

Drew Peterson's murder trial began Tuesday.
For the latest updates from Tuesday, visit our daily blog.
The former Bolingbrook police officer is charged with killing his third wife, Kathleen Savio. She was found dead in her home in 2004. She was discovered in a bathtub that didn't have any water in it. Her death was originally ruled accidental. But, her body was exhumed in 2007, and then her death was ruled a homicide.
Prosecutors will rely almost entirely on hearsay statements made by Savio before her death, while the defense will point out the absence of any physical evidence.
The defense claims Savio was bitter about Drew's affair with Stacy Peterson, and that she made up stories to help her divorce deal. The prosecution says Peterson didn't want to share his $300,000 pension with her.
It's not clear whether Peterson will testify in his own defense.
"The way they always do a murder case, they'll present someone who was one of the last people or the last person to see her living, then they'll present someone to say that they found her she was dead, they'll sort of logically go there. I suspect they'll call the neighbors, and move on from there," said Steve Greenberg, one of Peterson's attorneys.
Stacy Peterson vanished in 2007. Drew is a suspect in her disappearance, but hasn't been charged.

Palo Cortado Sherry
Palo Cortado Sherry is a type of sherry that, when authentic, is quite rare. Palo Cortado means "cut stick" in Spanish, which refers to the barrel mark -- a downward slash marking barrels set for the Fino program, and a mark through it perpendicular for Palo Cortado.
Traditionally, Palo Cortado sherry happens when the flor - the yeasty scum that forms on top of Fino sherry, fails for some reason. The resulting sherry is stuck between the reductive style of Fino and the oxidative style of Oloroso. Alcohol is added to these barrels to bring them up to 17.5% alcohol.
Because the failure of flor cannot be predicted, true Palo Cortado sherry is very rare. It is now common to blend Amontillado and Oloroso sherries together to mimic the flavor profile of Palo Cortado.
Palo Cortado sherry is full bodied and round enough to pair well with dinner, with seafood paella working quite well.

Never had this before. But just as great as others.
This tea has a lovely flavour; very sweet. It's not my favourite it's great on a summery day.
Love this as an ice tea! Very sweet which means it's really easy to make as you don't have to add anything else to it, will be lovely in the summer!

Very sweet if you use the 3 tsp recommended on the pack, 2 was enough for me. Also good added to regular tea (without milk).

I'm glad you like the site, Rick. I will say that while it's not the prettiest, the GymInfo site has been invaluable to us in setting up RoadToNationals. We still use it quite a bit to double check our work and there are teams (especially with the men) that rarely post their scores anywhere else.
I know they'll always get compared, but I don't really see the two sites as competing with each other. The Troester site performs a specific function as the official place where NCAA teams can enter in their results. RoadToNationals is more about making the information accessible, useful, and interpretable for coaches, athletes, and fans. And we try to keep people from having to do endless math as much as possible
Thanks for mentioning it. Hopefully others find it interesting as well.

EASTON, Md., September 19, 2011 — Raise taxes on millionaires? Ask billionaires to pay their fair share? Require corporations to pay taxes and not hide off shore?
Such requests are branded Class Warfare, even when someone like billionaire Warren Buffett calls for higher taxes on the wealthy few. And guess what? It is Class Warfare. So let's call it what it is.
The Republicans have declared war on the American Middle Class. They are card-carrying members of what I call the SOBs Club (Save Our Billionaires). Speech after speech on the floors of Congress or at their town hall meetings they lament the fate of the corporations who can't possibly create jobs without further tax breaks. You know the ones, the big tax dodgers: GE, Google, Exxon-Mobil, Merck, Pfizer, the list goes on and on.
Meanwhile those same corporations sit on bundles of cash, pay zilch - or close to it - in taxes, reward their fat cat CEOs with wads of money, and keep squeezing the dwindling number of American workers for ever higher levels of productivity while keeping their salaries stagnant.
In other words the rich keep getting richer. And some of the wealthiest are – GASP! – your Republican Representatives and Senators, who are fighting like the dickens to keep those tax breaks for Richie Rich and his ilk.
Maybe you will recognize some of these Congressional millionaires:
Olympia Snowe (R-Maine)
House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio)
Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.)
Senator Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.),
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.),
Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.)
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.)
Senator Bob Corker (R-Tenn.)
Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas)
Before a whole batch of you start writing in, ranting about the millionaire Democrats and there are many, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev), keep in mind that they are not working to extend their extravagant tax breaks. Instead they are fighting for a better deal for the Middle Class and the jobless.
Believe it or not, there is a group that calls itself Patriotic Millionaires who have called out the Republican millionaires in Congress to stop protecting their self-interests and recognize that they too became millionaires thanks to government investment in public schools and research, giving them the necessary education and tools to launch successful and lucrative businesses.
Yet thanks to friends like Cantor and Boehner, the rich only get richer. While you and I? Just how well are you doing even if you have a job? Or if you're living on a fixed income?
Think I exaggerate about the disparity in this country? Then take a look at some nasty facts that you might not like to sample. But here they are anyway.
Facing the Truth with Facts
First off: this past week we learned from the Census Bureau that the poverty rate in America is now over 15 percent, higher than it's been in 50 years. That means 46.2 million fellow Americans now live in poverty.
The unemployment rate is 9.1 percent, but the hard-core unemployment is actually 16.2 percent, according to the US Department of Labor. That's people without jobs and probably at this stage of their unemployment, they have probably been years without a job, without hope.
Then there are those of us with jobs: "[The] Middle Class has been progressively weakened by stagnant wages, outsourced jobs, and too much debt." Robert Reich, former Labor Secretary
Yet there is good news out there for some Americans, a silver lining in this dreadful economy, well, actually a golden lining. As Reich notes in New York Times column: "Right now the richest five percent of us are making 37 percent of all consumer purchases."
And profits are zoom, zoom, zooming. Just ask the luxury retailers. Ready for some really heady news?
LVMH, which owns expensive brands like Louis Vuitton and Givenchy, reported sales of 13 percent in the first half of 2011 to $14.9 billion.
PPR, home to Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, and other lux brands, said their sales shot up by 23 percent in the first half of this year.
BMW reported that it has more than doubled its quarterly profit from a year ago as sales rose 16.5 percent. Mercedes-Benz recorded July U.S. sales growth of 21 percent with its high-end S-Class sedans, including those with a $200,000 sticker price. Porsche reported its first-half profits rose 59 percent.
Tiffany's flagship store in New York had a 41 percent sales increase this year, the largest since 1990, according to Paul Lejuez, Nomura's retail analyst who tracks global financial markets.
And so it goes: luxury sales, corporate profits, and unemployment are all on the rise. Welcome to the new America.
More Jobs or More Politics?
Now Congress has a second chance to go to work for the American people. The President presented the American Jobs Act that would jumpstart the economy, begin building a better America, and put people back to work from teachers to construction workers.
He has a plan, not an overly ambitious one, but one that most economists say could kick start the economic engine. It will require closing corporate loopholes and raising taxes on the super wealthy five percent, who haven't paid their fair share in decades, while the rest of us, the Middle Class, have carried the cost of two wars and an economic meltdown.
The Republican response? Millionaire Congressman and Leader of the House Republicans Boehner put it most succinctly in his speech before the Economic Club of Washington last Thursday: "Tax increase, I think, are off the table and I don't think they are a viable option….Taxes destroy jobs."
Gee, Mr. Speaker is that really true? Just how many jobs have the $1.3 billion Bush tax cuts given us?
The answer: none. Instead they cost us 7,796,000 jobs.
So today people stand in unemployment lines or before tables at job fairs, clutching résumés in hand, while others in our society belly up to the counters of Tiffany's or Gucci, a Black American Express card in hand.
What is happening in this country is Class Warfare pure and simple and people need to wake up and start voting their own self-interest and not of those of the millionaire politicians they stick into office, you know, the ones who don't answer to the American public, but who would never refuse a call from big oil or big pharma.
Like it or not, until we stop fighting one another, start helping one another, and open our eyes to the terrible truth, America is in for a long, dark night in its history.

League of Legends 'A Twist of Fate' cinematic is amazing
Here's your chance to watch your favorite champions from League of Legends battle it out in a high-quality cinematic trailer. It's over four minutes long, and it's really well done. The main character here is Twisted Fate, but other champions like Annie and Ryze are involved.
Riot also released a behind the scenes look at the creation of the trailer. They expressed that doing a CG trailer "allows us to bring our champions to life. It allows us to get up close and personal with our champions in a completely unconstrained way."
The quality is really good, so I would love to see them make more stuff like this.

Governor Malloy Could Coast To Re-Election, Thanks to Republicans
Last year, Barack Obama won reelection in spite of — not because of — his first term as president, and he had Republican hard-liners to thank for the victory. Connecticut's Dannel Malloy has to be hoping that same formula will rescue him.
So far, the Connecticut GOP seems to be working its increasingly conservative ass off to make Malloy's "My-First-Term-Really-Wasn't-That-Awful" Democratic reelection campaign actually look feasible.
Let's see:
-Republicans just reanointed as their state party chairman a conservative named Jerry Labriola Jr. His initial term in office wasn't what you'd call successful. Cluster-flop would be more appropriate: Democrats took every congressional and statewide office imaginable and retained their iron-fisted domination of the General Assembly.
(One can only imagine Malloy's private reaction to the reinstatement of Labriola. How about a fist-pumping "Yesssssss!")
-As one of his most "trusted advisers," Labriola has taken on board Linda McMahon. Yep, she's the former World Wrestling Entertainment CEO who blew $100 million of her own loot in two spectacularly unsuccessful attempts to buy herself a U.S. Senate seat.
McMahon still has plenty of her fortune left and shows no signs of reluctance to spread it around the Connecticut Republican landscape. It's just possible this has something to do with Labriola's decision to invite McMahon in as a key member of the GOP tag team.
-The Republican favorite to take on Malloy in next year's race for governor appears to be Tom Foley, Connecticut's version of a Mitt Romney clone.
Foley is a wealthy businessman who spent $10 million of his own cash only to narrowly lose to Malloy three years ago. Foley was done in pretty much the same way as Romney lost (think minority and women voters) against Obama.
-The top challenger to Foley looks like state Senate Minority Leader John McKinney of Fairfield. Son of a popular former congressman, McKinney is an old-school moderate Republican, a dude the NRA considers an enemy because of his post-Sandy-Hook-massacre pro-gun-control vote.
McKinney is exactly the sort of middle-of-the-road political beast that used to attract votes in our Land of Steady Habits. And that's also the species that gives GOP right-wingers (like the ones who tend to choose Republican nominees these days) severe gastro-intestinal distress.
-Another potential GOP gubernatorial wannabe is Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton, who's mostly known outside his home city for his attempts to round up and get rid of undocumented immigrant workers. Remember all those Latino voters who didn't vote for Romney last year? They'd love not voting for a guy like Boughton.
The way the Republican side of things is shaping up has to be encouraging for Malloy. And he's going to need all the encouragement he can get.
A recent Quinnipiac University poll showed Foley, despite being tarnished as a 2010 loser, leading Malloy by 7 percentage points. The same survey had McKinney three points behind Malloy, not bad when three-quarters of those polled didn't even know who McKinney was.
Chief executives who preside over ugly economic times often end up being quickly bounced out by unhappy voters. Obama's ability to overcome that handicap (admittedly with a mega-ton of help from the GOP) should serve as Malloy's campaign pattern.
There is a political dung heap of parallels between Obama's first term as president and Malloy's first as governor.
Each inherited mind-numbing economic and budget calamities from their Republican predecessors. Huge tax increases and unemployment created deep scars on both their records.
Obama managed to overcome the sort of sluggish economic recovery that should have doomed him to being a one-termer. Malloy's attempting to do the same, spending hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars in a frantic dance to seduce businesses and research outfits into bringing jobs here. (Sort of a Connecticut take on the federal bailouts of finance and the car industry.)
A key part of Obama's campaign success was money. He managed to raise a phantasmagorical $730 million last year, which allowed him to outspend Romney. A lot of that cash came in because of liberal fears about what the Republican extremists might do if they were able to capture the White House.
Malloy is expected to once again use Connecticut's public campaign financing system the way he did in 2010, but with a lovely new twist. Under the old system, Malloy got about $6 million and swore not to take any outside cash from lobbyists and other special interests.
This year, Connecticut Democrats changed that system (some might use the term "gutted"). They pointed to the U.S. Supreme Court's Citizens United decision, which lets all kinds of special interests spend virtually unlimited amounts on political campaigns, and insisted something had to be done.
The Democrats — with Malloy's pseudo-sad-eyed support — used their majorities in the state House and Senate to ram through legislation that rips open gaping loopholes in the campaign finance system. Now, special interest "dark money" will be able to flood into state parties, and those party organizations will be able to spend unlimited amounts on candidates.
Good government types are moaning that those sweet Democratic revisions have cleared the political road for a return to the days of "Corrupticut," a nickname popular during the scandal-plagued era of ex-Gov. John G. Rowland.
The point being that Malloy can still take that $6 million in taxpayer campaign money next year and also get as much as he wants or needs from the state Democratic Party.
Republicans were appalled, possibly in part because Malloy will now have a counter to all the outside conservative cash that may come pouring in to pay for anti-Malloy TV ads next year.
For Malloy, with 16 months to go until the election, things are probably going about as well has he could hope, at least on the Republican side.
The Democrat will be rooting hard for another vicious GOP primary fight, just like what happened in 2010 and just like what helped Obama last year.
And despite Labriola's pleas for "no-primary" unity, that's exactly what could happen.
After all, given their recent history, no one should underestimate the ability of Connecticut Republicans to screw themselves. Not even when they're up against Dannel Malloy.

If you have been walking this journey with me for a while, you'll know our family recently dealt with the very essence of ugliness - cancer (you can read about it here and here).
On February 2, 2012, my dear Father in Law and beloved Gramps left us after having fought a courageous battle for many years. It's hard to believe nearly four months have passed since we said good-bye; the emotions that fill my heart while writing this post make it seem as though it were only yesterday.
As you may know, I belong to a woman's soccer league and every year a group of us gather for a very important event - The Canadian Cancer Society Relay for Life.
It's an all-night fund raising event to celebrate the lives of those who are living with cancer, remember loved ones lost to cancer, and fight back against the disease.
These are some of the luminaries that represent a life lost to cancer. They are lit at midnight and a minute of silence is observed. It is truly a life changing experience.
This Friday, beginning at 7:00pm, I - along with family and teammates - will walk through the night along with thousands of others willing to sacrifice one night of their lives for HOPE.
I don't know if those who pass look down upon us, but I do know they never leave our hearts and thoughts. This Friday, I will have him in my heart. This Friday, I will walk for him and for all of those who have been touched by this horrible disease.
And now here's the tough part (at least for me). Those who know me personally know I don't have an aggressive bone in my body. The thought of asking for support is completely outside my comfort zone, yet here I am - on the cusp of what will be the most important event of my life this year - doing just that.
We all live within a budget and I appreciate the economy has been difficult for many of us. But if after reading this you feel in your heart the need to donate, please do.
You can simply click here, or on the button that will remain on the sidebar of my blog for the next week. The link will take you to my personal participant centre, where you can choose to give a pledge. All you will have to do then is search my name (Lucy Akins) and the site will prompt you for other details.
I read this quote once and it stuck in my head "If you think you are too small to make a difference, than you've obviously never been in bed with a mosquito". - Michelle Walkeris
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this very important post, and a special thanks to those of you able to make a pledge.
much love,
Lucy (and Family)

The Financial Times recently reported that EBS, the forex trading platformowned by the electronic interdealer broker ICAP (IAP), announced that it would limit activities such as "flash" orders, which are said to distort the market.
"Flash" orders are automatic trades made at lightning speed by "high-frequency" traders, relying on speed and technology so as to make thin profit margins. As a consequence, price quotes disappear as quickly as they have emerged, creating illusory market liquidity. One of the concerns associated with those flash trades is that such rapid activity sometimes also referred to as "white noise" could potentially lead to market manipulation and instability.

WATCH: The Pretty Reckless Release New Video for "Heaven Knows"
Praised as "infectious and foot-stomping'" by Noisecreep.com, the new music video from The Pretty Reckless lives up to their name by being rebellious and outrageous.
Since the announcement of their new album, The Pretty Reckless have released a lyric video for "Follow Me Down" and the single "Heaven Knows". They have also been on tour since last fall, with a performance at The Parish, with Heaven's Basement. The band was to be featured in dates for SnoCore, a special festival for winter time, but the tour was cancelled due to health issues.
Lead singer Taylor Momsen reveals her inspiration for the video as: "We decided to film variations of all of the issues we as a people are facing, whether personal, political or social. " This striking video was directed by Jon J and Taylor Momsen. It was executive produced by Taylor Momsen, David Sonenberg, William Derella and Erica Ramon with post-production from Rhino Studios and additional editing by Tizzy.Search for The Pretty Reckless albums on Amazon

Out now on Blu-ray and DVD
FIve stars
If there ever was a film that could make up for the rubbish 3D we've seen over the years, it's Gravity. Finally there's a good reason to have things flying in your face.
It's a tale of astronauts stranded in space, repeatedly getting battered by orbiting debris. Far from a gimmick, the 3D does a fine job of enhancing immersion. The opening shot alone – a slow pan of Earth and its shifting layers of cloud – is mesmerising.
A Blu-ray at home may never match the full IMAX experience (it's a lot darker, for a start) but Gravity is nonetheless the best use of 3D we've seen. That said, it's just as scintillating in 2D, and you benefit from a brighter, sharper picture.
And then there's the sound. All this floating around means sound sources are rarely stationary. This will challenge the accuracy of your system's sound effects placement.
More after the break
The film? It's a workout, plain and simple. For the best part of 91 minutes, Gravity tries its hardest to keep heart-rates elevated.
It succeeds. What you get is a series of set pieces, each one as visually arresting as the next. Tension ramps up quickly as machines break and oxygen levels count down. The cinematography plays a huge part. Long, coherent takes are effective at drawing you in. And just as you feel a little settled, perspectives change.
Occasionally the film switches to first-person view, inside the helmet of an astronaut spinning out of control, hands flailing out to grab anything. We wouldn't expect much claustrophobia in space, but in this case it's hard not to tense up. It's less film, more survival experience, and it's exhilarating.
When it comes to the story, it's thinner than a wafer on a diet. Gravity invests so much in keeping your buttocks clenched that there's little room for character development or deeper narratives.
George Clooney has little to do but be his usual charming self. He doesn't get much in the way of context, and serves as a source of irrelevant (but funny) remarks. Sandra Bullock gets a meatier role as the panicky novice who gets to fret and despair. There's a vague attempt to introduce a back story, presumably to bring in an element of emotional baggage, but this is half-heartedly added and swiftly forgotten.
But that's the point of the film. Gravity rarely lets up long enough to allow for proper breathing, let alone in-depth contemplation. This is an unashamedly visceral, technically impressive thrill ride, and everyone should have a go.
Extra Features
- Collision Point: The Race to Clean Up Space (narrated by Ed Harris)
- Aningaaq (Jonás Cuarón's short film)
- Gravity: Mission Control
- Shot breakdowns

We've made these twice now, and while we can't make them look like the picture, they taste amazing.
The next time we make them we will be sure to leave them in more of a ball shape, in the past we probably flattened them a bit too much when pressing the bits on the top.

Taking lyrica with vicodin
Common Questions and Answers about Taking lyrica with vicodin
so for awhile when i missed the
, i thought oh, i have
...but as
off, more and more the
helped.....but when I missed doses of everything..., It was by my wife keeping a diary, that I realized I was missing so many just a few days or even one...the Oh! went on... And now I have taken 3yrs without feeling the sick,sweaty feeling I felt when I missed dose.. I did not gain weight ..
Read More
I had been up to 4
a day because of the pain,and
as a side RX my pain med dosage went down. My pain decreased. I was taking 50mg, I was feeling so good I stopped taking the Lyrica, but my pain was too much, had to go back on it. The side effects I have were sleepiness and weight gain. So I take it before bedtime, and I work out as much as possible, this also helps with depression I might get due to having a chronic pain disease.
Read More
I thought it was because I was only
as needed and that missing that was doing this.. I got stuck in a remote location and ran out..stupid! I went thru hell for 4 days...no increase in pain meds or a little more amitriptylline would help.. I beg everyone on it to not even miss a day..have your doctor give you some extra, go to pharmacy..keep some to prevent this from happening...I have a horror story but it was my darn fault..
Read More
I am at a point where I am going to a different Doctor for a prescription for
. I had no problem
it at all after
it for 3 months. As was previously stated everyone acts different to each drug. If I had been diagnosed properly the first time I could have taken Valtrex which would have prevented this post pain. It must be taken within 72hours of the shingles onset and before the rash develops. PLEASE if you people don't do anything take the shingles shot.
Read More
I have all the symptoms that go along
it...I have noticed though over the last week since I've been
it that my anxiety has increased and it feels like my heart is beating faster....I have always been on Xanax for anxiety ( last 4 yrs. ) but I haven't had to use it as much until lately...or could this just be a symptom of Fibro since it's really flared up due to the cold weather? I'm also on Vicodin for pain and I have high blood pressure, so I'm on meds for that as well.

lyrica has the same warnings as oxycontin, percocet, and
the least of the strengths of opiates.
nerve pain associated
nerve impingement such as a disk sitting on a nerve in your spine, and only an mri will prove this one.

After a brief consult the physiatrist switched my PT, stopped my rx for vicodin, and prescribed
for sciatica. He inquired about the
I was
. I explained that I'm allergic to aspirin and all NSAID's and it was the only form of relief I had for pain. He then told me that he "wasn't in the business of narcotics" and wouldn't refill my vicodin rx. He didnt explain the Lyrica and just handed me the pamphlet to read.

I am on Duragesic pain patch, Ultram, Lortab 10 mg, and
200mg. I noticed weight gain and swelling in my legs and feet
and wanted to know if Topamax could replace Lyrica.
Read More
There are times I still have to suppliment the
a light pain pill or muscle relaxer, but I'm
fewer and fewer of them each week..yay!!!!!!!!!! Good luck!!
Read More
I was
which was increased to the highest dose because it was not working for my fibromyalgia. I had many of the side effects with the high dosage of lyrica including blurry vision so I weaned myself off of it and had about a months worth left if taken once a day. I have recently been prescribed the Cymbalta because I do have depression from being in pain all the time and not being able to do the things that I am used to doing.
Read More
Does anyone have any advice? I am not really happy
as I think it is masking the pain and the side effects are unbearable. Is there any other treatments/medication that anyone can suggest please? Thank you.
Read More
OK - can anyone who has taken
and Cymbalta in conjunction
each other please give me your experiences --- and how long you've been taking them? I've been temporarily "diagnosed" with neuropathic pain issues (think Fibromyalgia). Waiting on some final test results to rule out any other Autoimmune Disease - but I believe I'll be finally diagnosed as Fibromyalgia. My Rheumatologist / Internist has prescribed Lyrica and Cymbalta together.
Read More
As far as the
goes I stopped
it because of the side effects, but when I get flare ups
the nerve pain theres nothing that works better than the lyrica, I just take it as needed at that point not an everyday dose.
Read More
I was thinking a flare could happen
an increase of your symptoms. Am I mistaken?
...I do know it is a GABA drug and used for nerve pain. And that the muscle relaxers and or the Vicodin doesn't do anything for that. Those were prescribed for my back issues. This is why I wanted pain management. I don't want to be on the narcotic drugs, if I can help it. My new pain doc is considering trying the TENS unit on me.
Read More
I am currently
6/ 5-500
2/ 150mg
and a 5% lidocaine 12 hr patch a day.I want to stop taking the vicodin but I have severe sleep and restless leg problems when doing this!? I have 20 left will the patch and lyrica help with these problems and if so how should I do this? I am under a docs care and have an apt to see a pain management doc. I have very bad proven back problem.
Read More
I too have an addiction to
a legitimate reason for use. I sufferd a back injury that won't give up. Fortunately and unfortunately I don't have access to them on a regular basis. But I need and want them. I feel like the people at this site understand that even thought they don't know I exist. The reason I am writing is to answer your medical question. I am a nurse (a blessing and curse). Vicodin es has 750mg of tylenol in it- I'm sure you know that.
Read More
Gabapentin, Nortriptyline,
, etc weren't working...Been on the
for almost a week now and doesn't seem to be working either. Should I be seeing some results by now, or is it too soon? Anyone else had Lyrica for nerve pain like this? Or has something else helped? It is a horrible pain several times a day...Like bare nerve ends shooting through my face for several minutes at a time!!!!!!
Read More
I've been
and it has given me back my life. I was very pleased with my doctor's approach of starting with a very low dosage and moving up when I feel it is no longer working. I started with 75 mg a day. My pharmacist told me to take it an hour before bed to help me avoid the sedated feeling. For the first week I did feel a bit sedated but then it went away. After a week and a half I moved to 150 mg and took both at night.
Read More
so I am on 7.5/325
and 10mg valium...is it safe to take the gabapentin
both of those things...or should i just wait til i see the Rheumatologist?? Iv hear good and ALOT of bad things about this drug...and my bdy has a high tolerance to meds, so i have to take ALOT for anything to help..i am just nervous to even touch it(i dont like trying new meds...i swear i feel like a guiney pig).......any thoughts????
Read More
Why would you suggest that he substitute
for his current drug of choice when he says in his post that he was taking the pills for recreation? He's here for help stopping not suggestions as to which drugs would be better for recreation. It's probably a good idea to be careful about suggesting drugs to addicts who are looking for help quitting on a drug addiction site.
Read More
My pain is terrible, first thing of the morning and night are the worst times. I can't remember a day when I didn't hurt. I have been
5/500 4xday for 2 1/2 years. I know when I take one, the pain will be bearable and I can do the things I need to do. Lyrica gave me terrible side effects, plus a list of other meds that hurt more than they helped. Who needs to add another problem to the ones I already have?
Read More
So far I am on day 5 and I have cut down to 50mg, which is 15mg less than I was
5 days ago. The 1st 3 days I felt awful, but I was feeling awful even
. The last 2 days I have either taken a long walk or worked out and have felt very little pain. I felt that today I may have been able to take 5 more mg less, but decided not to push it yet. I would like to hear experiences of other people who have weaned off.

well today is my first day for 0

I was in a car accident this past week that left me with over 20 stitches in my arm and excruciating pain -- when the doctor heard I was an addict [because we told him this while in the ER] he still wrote and sent me home
, because he said I would need them whether I thought I would or not. As soon as we got home, I posted here on the forums and asked what to do. I flushed them down the toilet. I have never been prouder of myself, and I know that you can do this as well.
Read More
With the problems that you have I would not say that you are in habbit. You can have withdrawl from
vicoden no matter how little you take it. but
only 4 pills a day you should be fine. again not a dr. but I have been on these meds for ever and research this time and time again. I have also asked my dr. so I hope what I say can help you. Having kidney problems can cause a bigger problem. vicoden is strained through the kidneys as well as the liver.

Ok so i am still young but a year ago i was diagnosed
fibromyalgia yeah so I take
everyday and sometimes perhaps once a month or every other month I have a flare up and the doctors tell me to take Tylenol or advil wtf. Since I am young I guess I am a drug addict. Basically elderly people get away with 5 to 6 freakin scripts of the proper pain killers and either give them away or sell them. I wish i could give my doctor fibromyalgia when i have a flair up!.
Read More
I know a lot of people find relief
, but I couldn't tolerate
or neurontin, though they both did help with my nerve pain. WIth the Lyrica I gained about 15 pounds in less than 3 weeks without changing my diet. It killed me, as I had worked so hard to get my weight off (and after being on high blood pressure pills for eight years, I was able to go off them!) The worst for me, though, was the cognitive issues I had with both. I had trouble word finding and staying on topic.

I am a 40 yr old male and I have been
a day for the past three years. A medical doctor prescribed it for me after it was discovered I suffered bone degeneration in my lower 2 disk vertebrea. At the time I thought little of taking a prescription painkiller. Now after my first 6 days of no longer taking Vicodin I am realizing how powerful of a substance it actually is. I'm having withdrawal symptoms I didn't expect.

I am still wondering if anyone has experience
any of the three drugs recommended for fibromyalgia, with having hep c? Mainly there are three only to treat fibro, Lyrica, Cymbalta, Savella. I have hep c and they all warn of liver problems. I am having so much trouble with fibro that I am wondering if the help would outweigh the risk to my liver. I am not in cirrhosis, at least not 2 years ago on biopsy, I was F1-F2. I do not drink.

Response and cushioning that's fit for a king.
The Burton Imperial Men's Snowboard Boot delivers the responsive flex and cushioned feel needed by serious freeride enthusiasts that crush anything standing in their way. Inspired by Burton's top-dog SLX, the Imperial has S4 shell panels that resist breakdown over the course of the season, allowing riders to hit the elusive 100-day mark without their boots suffering the consequences. This hard-charging boot uses Speed Zone lacing for a quick, efficient lacing solution that's great for dialing in your preferred tightness on the hill without freezing your fingers fumbling with traditional laces.
Inside the boot, you'll find a supremely comfortable Imprint 3 Liner with Focus Cuff Heel Hold system. This system provides awesome heel hold by hugging the sweet spot around your ankle, preventing dreaded heel lift when you're charging hard. Its Aegis antimicrobial coating fends off funky-smelling microbes. Additionally, you'll find a Level 2 Molded EVA footbed for added comfort and shock-absorption when you take natural hits or ride over rough, bumpy terrain.
The boot's industry-leading Vibram EcoStep sole not only resists wear and tear with its rugged design, but it tenaciously grips onto icy, hardpacked slopes with Rubber Ice Spikes embedded into the toe area. This makes the Imperial especially suited for freeriders walking up treacherous boot packs and no-fall zones where every step is crucial. Soaking up bumps and high-speed vibration, the boot's EST Optimized midsole uses B3 gel for maximum shock absorption. Add in Sleeping Bag Reflective Foil and you have a boot that won't leave your feet feeling numb, no matter how frigid the temps are outside.

Size up 1/2 size
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
Didn't ride in them because the boot is too small. i typically wear a size US12 but the US13 is too big. Unfortunately, once you get to 12 they don't make this boot in half sizes. No doubt it's a solid boot but sending back solely on that. If you get this boot I'd recommend getting a 1/2 size larger than you'd normally wear. One last thing, if you have a narrow foot, your heel may not stay seated. For that I'd recommend the Salomon F-series, 3.0 or 4.0.

Mark Sollors and the 2015 Burton Imperial Boot
I wore US 10.5 sneakers, and US 10 Thirtytwo binary boa boots, can you give me some advice about which size I should buy for Burton Imperial boots? Because it's hard for me to find a store to try it on at this moment. I heard the size of imperial is a little bit smaller that I may need to but 10.5 or 11, is that true?
Kyle Brady
I personally went down a half size in my imperials last season. It's a little painful at first but worth it after a few days. Burton Imprint 1, 2, and 3 all pack out about a half of size. You may have been talking to someone with a high volume foot. In general, when going with burton boots, go down a half size on everything excepts the infinite ride liner.
If you want to talk about this boot or any other snowboard product, you can reach me at 1-800-409-4502 ext 4420 or firstname.lastname@example.com

- Air dog large donuts Review by Suzanne
Your Rating Product KONG Air Dog Squeaker Donut Large 6pk
"The Ring" is a known word both spoken and spelled around our house. It is the only toy for our six year old lab, Solar. We go through them quickly: first Solar carefully removes the squeaker and then he begins to remove the felt. Everyday "the ring" is in his mouth as he walks around the house begging with his eyes for one of his humans to throw it. On edge it can be thrown and bounce all the way to the fence of our backyard which is about 1/2 an acre. Knowing how dangerous it could be for him to ingest the felt we go through them frequently. During his lifetime, they have changed shape some which is okay but they have also become harder to locate and much more expensive when we did find them at our local pet stores. So I decided to contact the Kong Company and find out if I could purchase them directly. They replied no but thank goodness they referred me to Value Pet Supplies. I found them there and they were shipped promptly. As we opened the box wondering if Solar should see them, he began to grab them and emptied the box twirling around and vocalizing...so happy to have new "rings" and not knowing what do think of so many...thank you. Solar (and his humans) are your customers for life. (Posted on 9/12/13)

"The paper quality is thick and heavy, very nice. The matte finish looked very elegant - and I suspect a glossy finish would make it look cheap. Had to re-order more because I forgot to add a few extras as keepsakes for the baby book, grandparents, etc. Overall, a lovely baptism invite. We put a photo and caption on the back as a quasi-birth announcement."
"These cards are absolutely stunning. The colors, the design the font everything! The shipping was practically next day. Yet again I am very happy with Tiny Prints. Thank you :)"
"Invitation met, if not exceeded, expectations with regard to quality and appearance. Beautiful design. Ordered with the pearl accent and scalloped edge; just dainty enough. Quick service and shipping too. Smaller in person than I anticipated, but perhaps I didn't pay enough attention to size details when ordering (thought it would be closer to 5 x 7; think the scalloped edging also makes it seem a little smaller - but still very pretty). Very pleased overall."
"The paper quality was excellent and I was able to customize the edges of the invites! They looked great online , but they were better in person!"
"Made this card for a baptism. First time ordering on this site. Couldn't be happier!! Product quality is great. To make this card extra special you have to pay extra for the cut but it is well worth it."

Want to spice up this year's Easter egg hunt? Check out the creative ways fellow iVillagers have celebrated together!
"My girls are now 13 and 16, and they still love to hunt for hidden Easter eggs. I purchase plastic eggs and put coupons in them (i.e., 'This coupon allows you to stay up one hour past your bedtime,' or, 'This coupon is good for a trip to the mall and the purchase of the outfit of your choice'). I also hide money -- five or 10 dollars. They absolutely love it, and to this day they look forward to it. Happy Easter." --iVillager karen12238
"Our family has an Easter egg hunt for the kids, whose ages range from two to 11. We give the little guys a head start, and the older ones are told that anything on ground level belongs to the two-year-old and five-year-old! An adult accompanies the little ones. We fill the eggs with party goods, candy, coins, stickers, tattoos, tiny nail polish bottles and fast food gift certificates. Upon returning with their goods, the kids divide the eggs according to color. Each child has a designated color. It works best when the kids don't know their colors until after the hunt, so everybody is working just to gather all the eggs, and not necessarily their own color. Then they each have one 'special' egg that's designated by the child's name on it. Those are the 'big' eggs, and would have a gift certificate to a local bookstore or a note saying where a special toy is in the house. I think the adults have just as much fun -- if not more -- than the kids. Enjoy!" --

When IBM's original Watson computer competed and won on the TV quiz show Jeopardy!, it demonstrated to an audience of millions how a computer could understand the rules of a game and quickly retrieve facts from a vast storehouse of information.
That question-answering skill is a key element of what we call the era of cognitive computing. It is already beginning to impact whole domains of human endeavor, starting with the way physicians treat diseases. And it's improving the productivity of business—by beginning to transform online shopping and customer service. Continue Reading »
As cognitive computing advances, it's becoming obvious that these new capabilities will ultimately touch nearly every aspect of life–augmenting human intelligence and spreading expertise. Watson's newest focus is on the customer experience.
We have all faced frustrations when we're trying to find just the right product or service, comparison shop or get something fixed or updated. We want personalized attention and quick and easy answers to our questions. A newly announced alliance of IBM and Genesys, a leading provider of customer experience and contact center solutions, aims to help companies serve their customers better. Here's a scenario explaining how the services will work:
By Michael Karasick
When Thomas J. Watson Sr. joined IBM in 1914 as its president, the firm didn't have a single engineer on its payroll, so he quickly hired engineers and set up a product development group in a brownstone near New York's Penn Station. He created a patent development department in 1932 and, in 1945, he established the first corporate scientific research laboratory. Today, IBM Research has grown to become the largest corporate research organization in the world, with 3000 professionals at 12 labs in 10 countries.
The point is that the nature of innovation keeps evolving and organizations have to change with it.
That's why IBM is adopting a new approach to innovation for our newly formed IBM Watson Group, which will be headquartered in New York's Silicon Alley. In the group, we are melding research, product development, experience design and collaboration with business partners and clients—all with the goal of accelerating the development of cognitive computing solutions for many of the world's most vexing problems. This new era of computing requires a new approach to innovation.
Our Watson initiative builds on top of IBM's long tradition of innovation, which placed IBM as the No. 1 recipient of US patents in 2013 for the 21st year in a row. We received 6,809 patents, easily outdistancing Samsung, the No. 2 finisher, with 4,676. The next US company on the top 10 list, Microsoft, ranked No. 5.

At IBM, Watson seems to be everywhere these days. The cognitive computer that beat two grand champions on the TV quiz show, Jeopardy!, has a team working on enhancements in IBM Research; software programmers developing services for businesses and whole industries; programming and ideation contests in universities; two books about it (Final Jeopardy! and Smart Machines); and, now, an Off-Broadway play.
That's right, Playwrights Horizons is presenting The (curious case of the) Watson Intelligence, by playwright Madeleine George—which opened on Nov. 15 and will continue through Dec. 29. It's an exploration of the relationships between people and the people and machines we depend on. The play draws on parallels between IBM's Watson, the character Dr. Watson of Sherlock Holmes fame and the Watson who Alexander Graham Bell called in the first-ever telephone conversation. At times funny and other times emotionally wrenching, the play examines our mixed feelings about being helped by others. George is featured here.
The first era of computing was defined by simple calculations. The second era, beginning in the 1940s, introduced us to programmable systems. Now we're entering the era of cognitive computing. In this era we will have machines that will learn, reason, sense, predict and interact more naturally with human beings. IBM Watson is a significant step in that direction and is currently working with doctors to fight cancer.
The next #P4SPchat will invite discussions about how smart machines will help make the world work better. Please join the discussion at Noon ET on Oct. 31. Continue Reading »

Social and technological shifts are driving rapid change, altering ways in which individuals interact with one another, learn, and attend to their personal and business needs. These shifts offer the potential to strengthen the relationships between companies and their customers—enabling more individual and directed communication and allowing organizations to cater to individual needs. Yet, for many, today's online customer experiences lack personalization, timeliness and trust.
But what if companies could offer their customers the kind of personalized and knowledgeable assistance when they're online or on the phone that people have come to expect from top-flight customer service delivered in person? Continue Reading »

With more than 225 indigenous languages, Europe is rich with multi-lingualism, and that's why the Council of Europe proclaimed today the European Day of Languages. It aims to promote rich linguistic and cultural diversity and encourage lifelong language learning.
However, the interest in languages (and the human language in general) is not only close to the heart of institutions, but also – perhaps somewhat unexpectedly – to the global technology industry.
By Malcolm Greaves, Undergraduate student, Carnegie Mellon University
It seemed like any other early Wednesday night as an undergraduate computer science student at Carnegie Mellon: I had programming assignments to start and papers to complete. I thought to myself I should find a quiet, empty room on campus, set up shop, and tackle my work right away. But I couldn't – instead I headed down to a large auditorium on the fourth floor of the Gates computer science building. As a budding machine learning researcher and avid student of modern artificial intelligence, there was something that I absolutely had to see: a one million dollar match between two grand champion Jeopardy! players and a computer system IBM developed and named Watson.
Watching Watson triumph on Jeopardy! was inspiring: it was the stuff that we computer scientists live for. I clearly remember sitting on the edge of my seat, heart racing, and eyes glued to the screen and thinking, with the slightest hint of jealousy, "I wish that I could work on Watson." At the conclusion of the match, when Watson showed the world exactly the kind of stellar performance that we can expect from it, I thought, "those are all PhDs who worked on Watson; it will be a very long time before I'm qualified enough to work on Watson.
I am so very glad I was wrong. Half a year after watching that historic match I learned that IBM created it's first-ever Watson internship program and I, along with nearly 1400 other students applied to participate. Along with 18 others, I was fortunate to be selected and have spent the past 3 months working with IBM developers, researchers and software and business industry experts in IBM's software group in Littleton, Massachusetts with the goal of commercializing the most advanced, state of the art artificial intelligence system.
As eager as I was to explore Watson, in the beginning I was apprehensive about this internship. My perception of IBM was of a monolithic, sturdy, awesomely gigantic company that made me worry that I was walking straight into the movie Office Space. My first day was filled with so many buzzwords, IBM lingo, protocols, (the occasional IBM joke) and "blue" everything that I thought I should have worn a smock rather than a pair of khaki pants. I thought to myself, "Am I going to be painted over to blend with the rest of this company? Or will I remain an individual?"
After a week of adjusting to the ebb and flow of IBM's Littleton lab my preconceived notions were dispelled. In practice, I have found that the day to day operations of IBM, from the perspective of a software engineer, are like a small business. Most days, I directly work with less than ten people. As such, I've been able to nurture close bonds with my colleagues; this includes full time IBMers as well as fellow interns. Working at IBM has a small business feel coupled with the vast resources of one of the largest businesses in the world – when my team needs a new server to run multiple experiments simultaneously on gigabytes of data, we receive one in less than a day. When I cannot figure out how to solve a problem, and my internet searches turn up nothing, there is an IBMer an email away who is more than willing to help. I have found that working at IBM, you sense your efforts and individualism are being woven into a greater, more complete whole.
At the conclusion of my internship experience, I can reflect and say working on Watson has been an excellent experience. My fears of being painted over and hoarding red staplers were unfounded. In actuality, throughout the summer, I was graced with not only an intellectually stimulating project, but with a group of fantastic, intelligent, and determined colleagues. My mentors were brilliant, helpful, and wise and I am grateful that I have learned so much under their tutelage. My fellow interns have been a blast to work with and we have been able to produce some amazing work in just twelve short weeks. The scope and ambition of the entire IBM Watson division is inspiring; I feel honored to have been one of the inaugural interns working on Watson this summer for a company that has never stopped changing the world.
Like many serial inventors, mathematician Dimitri Kanevsky looks for solutions for problems that he faces in his own life. In his case, some of his biggest challenges are related to the fact that he has been deaf since age 3.
Kanevsky, a member of the speech and language algorithms department at IBM Research, has invented a long string of hearing- and speech-related technologies. They include a system for helping people improve the effectiveness of lip-reading, a method that enables deaf people to converse on the telephone and an Internet-based system for capturing real-time transcripts of phone conferences. "I like to solve challenging problems, and I get a thrill from creating novel math concepts and making discoveries," he says.
Today, Kanevsky will get another kind of thrill–when he's honored with a Champion of Change award at the White House. The award recognizes individuals who make a positive impact on science, technology, engineering and math for people with disabilities. Here's a livestream video link for the event.
While Kanevsky has a long record of achievements as an inventor, including 152 US patents, it's clear from talking to him that some of his most important inventions may come in the future.

Coming from IBM Research, I think of innovation in two dimensions. First, there is the continuous innovation that goes into IBM's products and services. This innovation provides important advances to current technology as well as helps IBM introduce breakthrough products. The benefits of this approach are clear in IBM's next-generation computing platform PureSystems.
But we also look for more exploratory challenges that help us advance science by leaps and bounds. We call them grand challenges. Meeting them requires a very different set of practices and capabilities – and presents some interesting problems.
And that was the topic today as the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation in Washington, DC hosted a forum with the White House's Office of Science and Technology Policy, IBM and Qualcomm to discuss how we can meet the next Grand Challenges.

E-monitoring now available for all Commonwealth fisheries
AFMA's Fisheries Legislation has been amended to further support the implementation of electronic monitoring (e-monitoring) in Commonwealth fisheries. These changes will come into force on 28 April 2013.
E-monitoring can include cameras, global positioning systems and sensors and can generate a range of visual and nonvisual information for monitoring fishing and related activities.
E-monitoring will enhance AFMA's ability to manage Commonwealth fisheries as it provides AFMA with accurate, comprehensive and timely data on the state of fish stocks and on the impacts of fishing on both fish stocks and the marine environment. It is also a cost effective alternative to using observers for industry and will complement the information AFMA receives from observers, vessel-monitoring systems and logbook reporting.
A number of provisions have also been introduced to deter fishers from hindering the operation of e-monitoring equipment, or to modify, damage, or destroy e-monitoring data.
The changes to the legislation will increase the effectiveness of AFMA's enforcement powers by providing a higher level of at-sea monitoring. This will provide greater certainty for fishers and the community that Australia's fisheries are well managed and will continue to be sustainable in the future.
For more information, please contact Jeremy Richter, Senior Manager, Service One on 02 6225 5402 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Robocalls warn of "secret" casino meeting in Henrietta
Henrietta, N.Y.-- Phone calls to Henrietta residents warned of a "secret" meeting to advance a Seneca-run casino and prompted more than 100 people to pack the town hall on a snowy Thursday afternoon.
"It said come to this meeting, voice your objection," recalled Sandy Murray, who says she was contacted three times.
Last year the Seneca Nation hired a Rochester developer and announced plans to move forward with a casino in Henrietta that appeared to come out of nowhere. Since then some residents have become frustrated with the lack of information and these robocalls helped to fuel that.
"My home has been called twice in the last four days," said Jack Moore. Moore was elected supervisor in November and was sworn in at a board meeting scheduled for Thursday. He wasted no time in addressing the issue of importance to the large crowd.
"We do not have a proposal to discuss at this time," he said. "But we do welcome people's input and will listen to anything you have to say."
"I think there are a lot of bad results from gambling and gambling casinos. I think it would be bad for Henrietta," said David Malone, whose remarks drew applause.
"We have enough casinos around here," said Sam DeSalvo. "If anyone wants to go to a casino they can take a short drive and be there."
Supervisor Moore made it clear there is no proposal on the table. The town has not heard from the Seneca Nation or developer David Flaum. "I think it sits in their court as to how they want to proceed and what's going to happen. We've got to wait and see," said Moore.
13 Wham News has learned the organization behind the robocalls is called "No More Casinos Coalition." It now has a facebook page regarding the Henrietta casino and is soliciting people in opposition to sign up and sign a petition.
It operates out of a PO box located at the UPS store on Hylan Drive. The calls trace back to a landline in Batavia.
The coalition also appears to be part of a national organization that pops up where local casinos are being considered. At best the robocalls were misleading, but worked to fuel the mistrust.
"I think they're kind of going about it rather secretly," said Carol Burritt. She says she does not support a casino in Henrietta. "I just don't see it as a solution to public financing," she said.
The Albany Times Union reports developer David Flaum is trying to purchase a vacant packing plant in Albany for a Seneca-run casino there. It's unclear whether that location would replace the one discussed for Henrietta or be an additional location.
Flaum could not be reached for comment.
Asked if he would support a casino, Henrietta Supervisor Moore said "If I had a personal vote in this- just Jack Moore - I would say that we could probably do without the casino. But I have to be objective and listen to everything."
The Henrietta Town Board is on record as opposing a casino.
Jane Flasch
