But are the après-op suites really on their way out? A spokeswoman for the Beverly Hills Hotel confirmed that managers had received the city attorney's notice, but said they would have "no comment." Several other hotels said they don't take doctor referrals, but can't stop cosmetic-surgery patients from booking rooms privately. "There certainly are people who come to hotels to recover on their own, and that's certainly none of our business," said Bill Doak, director of marketing at the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel. Phew. We're relieved that those Brazil film fantasies of melting faces remain safely in the future - or at least in the hallways of swanky hotels where OffBeat rarely travels.
Courting Opinion
For nearly a year now a coalition of Los Angeles groups has noisily lobbied City Council members for passage of economic sanctions aimed at punishing the despotic military government of Burma. Hoping to fuel their efforts, the coalition has pointed to other local governments that passed similar sanctions, including that of Massachusetts. That strategy appeared to be yielding some results, including at least public support for the sanctions from several council members.
But a federal court ruling last week in Massachusetts that rendered that state's sanctions unconstitutional has sparked concern here at home. Supporters of the sanctions are worried that some of the more easily swayed Los Angeles City Council members may now balk.
Chief Judge Joseph L. Tauro ruled that only the federal government can conduct foreign affairs, including imposing economic sanctions. But supporters of the L.A. "Free Burma" ordinance, which is expected to go before the City Council sometime next month, say Judge Tauro's constitutional interpretation won't stick.
"What this really boils down to is a municipality [and the municipality's taxpayers] deciding who it's going to give its money to," said the Burma Forum's Kevin Rudiger. Ordinance supporters are confident that the Massachusetts ruling will be overturned on appeal.
Radio Free L.A.
In its quest to make the radio airwaves safe for Alanis Morissette, Dr. Laura and deodorant commercials, the FCC busted pirate radio station KBLT early this month, seizing its transmitter and shutting down L.A.'s newest and most diverse music outlet.
KBLT is the brainchild of Paige Jarrett, a former San Francisco pirate broadcaster who once nurtured dreams of owning a radio station until she was told it carried a $20 million price tag. Instead, Jarrett hooked up with a pal who built a transmitter, antenna and cable.
Then, in November 1995, after moving to Los Angeles, she began broadcasting some of the funkiest and most interesting sounds around.
Before long, KBLT's list of DJs included local musicians such as Bob Forrest, Mike Watt and Keith Morris. The shows ranged from country to gospel to French pop, with all the DJs playing whatever they liked.
But all that came to a halt last Friday when Jarrett was checking on her transmitter, located in a remote area. The mistress of pirate radio bumped into two FCC agents, who said she could either give her name and pay a fine of $11,000 or forfeit the equipment and get a receipt. Jarrett was forced to give them her transmitter, and KBLT currently is no more.
Should I Stay or Should I Go Now?
The stifling calm of the L.A. Times newsroom was broken Election Day morning by a rare outbreak of temper when Metro headliner Jim Newton blew a fuse over placement of one of his Charter Commission reports, gathered his files and quit on the spot. As Newton acknowledged in an interview, "I did in the moment quit and leave" - but not before flipping the bird at news honchos Bill Boyarsky, Leo Wolinsky and Roxanne Arnold.
Newton was back at work several days later, after a lunch with Times editor Michael Parks. It wasn't just the single story at issue, according to city-county bureau chief Tim Rutten, but the increasingly poor play Metro writers have received. The bureau was opened last year to much fanfare, but, Rutten said, "It's harder to get these stories on Page 1 than it was initially for us."
And no wonder. Despite a new emphasis on substantial reporting under Parks, the Times is still designed around soft features - on the front page, on the front of the Metro section, on the cover of Calendar - and the inside sections are shot through with froth. It's been building for years - and it'll take more than a tantrum to turn that around.

Deep Keepers: Under Armour 2012 Part I
After a few years of conflicting schedules, with both games falling on the same weekend and precluding players from attending both, the Perfect Game All-American Classic and Under Armour got it right and chose consecutive weekends. This allowed a second look at players like Austin Meadows, Clint Frazier, Trey Ball, Brian Navaretto, Joey Martarano and several others.
This piece will be structured much like my Perfect Game notes: three-inning chunks with individual player notes. I'll do my best to highlight players not commented on in the PG columns, but also want to comment on those second looks and my impressions, good, bad or ambivalent.
Inning 1
RHP Hunter Harvey was first up, and he generally confirmed what I'd been told. The son of two-time All-Star, closer Bryan Harvey, Hunter is probably going to get dismissed as a reliever by many. His delivery is still a bit raw with the arm slightly behind, and he didn't show the secondaries in this look that we want to see in a starter. That said: the arm works. It's loose and on-line and the ball comes out of his hand well. He starts open — nearly squared to the plate — orienting himself to the batter before rotating through his delivery. My immediate impression was that he was not getting good extension out front, and a side view confirmed that. He's landing shorter and taller that he should, and that effected his command and his breaking ball.
The FB was a fine pitch, coming in at 90-92 with some ride on it. He wasn't getting much downward plane (there's that tall finish again), and in fact often missed up and away to the glove side in the first. He flashed a slurvy mid-70s breaking ball that was not effective, though it was sharper in his second inning.
OF Austin Meadows had a good plate appearance, battling Harvey and ultimately flaring a tough inside pitch to the CF triangle. Every write-up has (of course) focused on his big hit later in the game, but Meadows again showed that he has the ability to pull his hands in and put the ball in play. This, as much as his obvious tools and projection, are why he's one of the top high school bats.
Fast rising catcher Brian Navaretto flashed his arm, throwing Meadows out on a stolen base attempt. Jon Denney keeps getting the nod as the catcher who has helped himself out in the summer showcases, but Navaretto is neck-and-neck. The defensive actions are still a bit stiff, but he reminds me a bit of the Indians' Carlos Santana. There's no way to project the hit tool, but Navaretto is extremely athletic, can run a bit, and looks to have above avg potential with the hit and power tools.
RHP Dustin Driver started the bottom half of the first, and while he showed the big FB, the secondaries didn't show in this half inning. He also caught too much of the plate and gave up some loud contact even with the FB in the low-90s.
INF J.P. Crawford had already received good marks at both CF and SS the last two years, and now you can add second base to the list. He looked right at home at the keystone, making a nice play behind Driver.
Home boy OF Corey Ray showed off a nice swing, quick and fairly short to the ball. The bat was a little behind better FB's, but he showed good hands and some contact ability. He's a well built player — but not really toolsy or projectable enough to break into the upper echelons of the 2013 OF class. He might be more interesting after three years of college.
OF/1B Dom Smith picked up where he left off the week before, dropping the bat head and hitting a hard grounder down the right field line. He had good hits in both the Perfect Game and Under Armour showcases, but mostly of the seeing eye variety. It's odd, as he's routinely lauded as one of the best bets in the class, and looks like he should loft the ball a lot more.
Inning 2
Harvey returned for the second inning and continued to miss to his glove side with his FB and breaking ball. He did throw what looked like a change-up — and a decent one at that as it came in at 81 mph — then backed it up with a 90 mph FB to the same spot. It was two pitches out of many, but that's the sort of sequencing to look for. He also got a called third strike to end the inning with his sharpest curve of the day. He looked better this inning, which points up the difficulty in gauging players based on one-inning stints as these games so often necessitate.
OF Ivan Wilson came to the plate this inning, and is a huge player. The swing was shorter than expected with above avg bat speed, and he laced a single to CF.
One of the games two Dominican Republic prospects, INF Lucas Tirado, played 2B behind Harvey, muffing a chance at a double play and then committed the cardinal sin of failing to get the out at first as well.
Navaretto showed off his blocking chops, keeping Harvey's bounced curves in front of him with aplomb.
3B Joey Martarano's swing looked longer than it had at Perfect Game the week before, and like many of the players he seemed to drag a bit.
Driver then took his half of the inning , and after three innings I'm honestly starting to wonder what I'm missing, as he is consistently ranked in the top ranks of this class but comes off as just average. I do like the delivery as it is compact and efficient. The FB is already solid average, but he was aiming it in this look. He threw more breaking balls this inning, most in the 73-75 mph range, moving them around, but suffered from control problems and dealt out walks and wild pitches. He may be safer than some other players, but that's as tepid an endorsement as it sounds.
I got a good look at Navaretto in the box, and noted again his interesting stance. I like where he starts his hands, just above shoulder high, and he gets them in good position when he starts his swing. The interesting part is the timing mechanism, as he starts open and comes closed after a quick swivel of his front leg. He drew a walk in this plate appearance and then showed off his above average athleticism by stealing second.
INF Jan Hernandez was another Perfect Game carry over, playing 3B. I was glad to get another look at him at the plate — and I liked what I saw. He was a little more quiet this time up, and despite starting his hands fairly high showed an ability to drop the bat head well, keeping the bat in the zone for a healthy amount of time.
OF Lewin Diaz, the other D.R. player, is a long-limbed and projectable player in the mold of countryman Ronald Guzman. The actions are good at the plate, with a quick up and down front foot, good hand and wrist flex, and a disciplined and repeated swing path. Like Guzman, he may catch some flak for the lack of overt bat speed. His swing could use some shortening, and he came off as a bit of a slow poke.
Tirado helped ameliorate his defensive gaffe with a nice opposite field single.
INF Chris Rivera showed his range with a nice pick, but then missed on the throw to first.
Nick Ciuffo showed his usual solid catching skills, blocking most balls well, but also showed his youth by stabbing at ball that darted past him.
Inning 3
LHP Trey Ball started the top of the third, looking as athletic and projectable as ever. He came in pumping a steady 90 mph FBs, and while he left one up to Clint Frazier that got clubbed for a double (no shame in that as Frazier is a clearly elite bat), he also threw one past Rivera for a swinging strike. He was getting good angle on the pitch and complemented it with a nice 76-79 mph slider to the arm side of the plate. He also showed an ability to move the pitch around as he threw two excellent sliders to the glove side against left-handed hitting K.J. Woods Jr. Ball's delivery did get out of sync, and he started missing with the FB down and away to the glove side, leading to some walks.
OF Billy McKinney pinch ran for Frazier again, as he had in the first thanks to Frazier's battling hamstring issues. This time he got to show off his wheels, scoring on a Dom Smith error, Smith trying to come home for the force out and throwing it away. McKinney is considered one of the best and fastest runners in the class.
Martarano continued to look overmatched as Ball threw a FB under the hands and then an arm side slider for swings and misses.
RHP Derik Beauprez continues to impress and is becoming one of my favorite sleepers in the class. He got easy groundball outs to begin and end the inning, with another nice play at 2B from Crawford, and flashed his plus FB/change-up combo. Beauprez has a great build, sound delivery, a FB that sits low-90s with potential to tick up, and rare feel for a change-up from a player with his experience. Watch this space.

DALLAS (AP) Ś A freight train slammed into a parade float carrying wounded veterans on Thursday, killing four people and injuring 17 others as the float tried to get through a West Texas railroad crossing on its way to an honorary banquet, authorities said.
The locomotive was sounding its horn and people were jumping off the decorated flatbed truck before the collision around 4:40 p.m. in Midland, according to witnesses and Union Pacific spokesman Tom Lange. A preliminary investigation indicates the crossing gate and lights were working, Lange said, though he didnÆt know if the train crew saw the float approaching.
Two people died at the scene, while two others died at Midland Memorial Hospital, City of Midland spokesman Ryan Stout said. Six people remained hospitalized Thursday night, including at least one in critical condition; the other 11 people injured have been treated and released, hospital officials said.
About two dozen veterans and their spouses had been sitting in chairs on the float, set up on the back of a flatbed tractor-trailer decorated with American flags and signs identifying each veteran, photos show.
Panic swept through those seated on trailer as the locomotiveÆs horn sounded, said Patricia Howle, who was waiting at a nearby traffic light as the train approached.
ōMy daughter said, `Momma, the train is coming!Æ and she was looking for it as I saw the trailer begin to cross the railroad tracks,ö Howle told KOSA-TV. ōPeople were jumping off, trying to get off that trailer and the truck was still rolling.
ōPeople on the trailer saw the train coming and they were flying in every direction,ö she added. ōI covered my face. I didnÆt want to see.ö
The float was among two flat-bed trucks carrying veterans and their spouses, police said. The first truck safely crossed the railroad tracks, but the second truckÆs trailer was hit by the train. Police said some of the people on the second trailer were able to evacuate before the crash.
A banner across the truckÆs front bumper read, ōHeroes on Board.ö
The parade was to end at a ōHunt for Heroesö banquet honoring the veterans. The wounded service members were then going to be treated to a deer-hunting trip this weekend. The events have been canceled.
Lange said Union Pacific is offering help to the community and victimsÆ families, as well as peer-to-peer counseling for the train crew, who did not sustain any injuries.
ōThere is going to be a very thorough investigation,ö Lange said. ōItÆs obviously a very tragic incident.ö
The National Transportation Safety Board also is investigating, NTSB spokesman Peter Knudson said.
Midland is about 320 miles west of Dallas.
Associated Press writer James Beltran contributed to this report from Dallas.

COLONIE, N.Y. -- One year after the bombings that shook the city of Boston, several locals are headed there to participate in the 2014 Boston Marathon.
Their pace was slow and methodical on Monday, but for several hundred marathon runners training together at The Crossings of Colonie, their resolve was unmatched.
"They've got this sense of 'this is an accomplishment, this is a challenge, this is something I'm gonna do,'" said running coach Kristen Hislop.
Most were training for the Freihofer's Run for Women, which takes place on the last day of May.
But one runner has bigger, sooner plans in mind.
"I'm running the Boston Marathon, because I qualified," Danielle Maslowsky said.
But that's not the only reason she'll run the nation's most famous race.
"I want to be there," she said. "I want to show the world and the nation that there's nothing to be scared of."
After the 2013 Boston Marathon, when a pair of bombs allegedly set by terrorists ripped apart the peaceful finish line, some might contend that there's a lot to be afraid of. Maslowsky believes otherwise.
"It's the marathon of all marathons. It's an honor to participate," she said. "I'm sure it will be emotional. It'll be an experience I know I'll never forget."
Maslowsky had qualified for last year's marathon, but for a variety of reasons she did not attend. It's a similar story for marathon volunteer Patrick Lynskey.
"Last year was actually one of the only years in recent memory that I wasn't there," Lynskey said Monday. "I was helping a friend move."
Lynskey had given his finish line grandstand tickets to a friend, who was not injured when the bombs detonated.
And Lynskey's spirit was not shaken. He's vowed to return to the race as a volunteer this year, and as a runner in the future.
"I think [the marathon] is always going to be a little bit different," he said. "But I think what we try to do as event organizers is get back as close to normal as possible. As runners, as participators, as spectators, I think that's what everybody's looking for."
The 2014 Boston Marathon is set for April 21. More than 200 security cameras and 50 observation platforms have been installed for the race.

Congressman Applauds Clinton's Signing Animal Cruelty Legislation Into Law
July 7, 2008 - 7:02 PM
(CNSNews.com) - A Republican congressman from California is commending President Clinton for signing legislation banning "crush" videos - sexual fetish videos that show women crushing rodents and other small animals with spike heels or bare feet.
Rep. Elton Gallegly (R-CA), sponsored the legislation to outlaw crush videos. In a statement released Friday, he said most people had never heard of the videos before he introduced his bill. He said he acted after the crush videos were brought to his attention. "It's a new, but quickly growing industry," he said. "Hopefully this law will end it."
The House passed Gallegly's measure in October and Senate approval came in November.
"The speed with which this bill sailed through Congress says a lot about the recognition that cruelty to animals is a deep societal issue. Most experts now recognize that those who kill or torture animals often will progress to harming and even killing fellow human beings. This is one step toward ending this cycle of violence," Gallegly said.
Gallegly explained what's shown on many of those videos. "Animal cruelty tapes sell for up to $300, and more than 2,000 titles are available. "They feature kittens, hamsters, birds and even monkeys that are taped to the floor or a glass table while women, sometimes in spiked heels, sometimes barefooted, slowly torture and crush the animal to death. Taking the profit out of selling animal cruelty videos will curtail the trade."
In a statement from the White House, President Clinton said the law established federal criminal penalties for the creation, sale or possession of "a depiction of cruelty to animals" with the intent to distribute it within the United States or overseas.
However, Clinton said the law makes exceptions for works of "serious religious, political, scientific, educational, journalistic, historical or artistic value. The act would prohibit the types of depictions of wanton cruelty to animals designed to appeal to a prurient interest in sex."
Gallegly said a 1991 study at a domestic violence shelter found that "71 percent of the women reported situations where their abuser had threatened of actually killed the family pet. Thirty-two percent of the sheltered mothers reported that one or more of their children had abused animals."
Gallegly noted that serial killer Ted Bundy and Unibomber Ted Kaczynski also tortured or killed animals before killing people. He said the FBI, US Department of Education, and the US Department of Justice consider animal cruelty to be one of the early warning signs of potential youth violence.

BSOD while playing different videogames.
Hello, kind people of Seven Forums. Im here with hopes of obtain some kind of insight about the BSOD problem Im having.
About the BSOD:
What Ive tried so far:
Ive read that FurMark, the MG Video Memory Stress Test and the Hardware Stress Test with Prime95 are also recommended for this kind of situation, but I prefer to run them only if necessary (or if a hardware or GPU problem is suspected).
Thank you very much in advance for any suggestions!

Used as a deragatory term for a black person. Similar to porch monkey, nigger, or coon.
Some moon cricket must have stole it!
作者 dingraha 2007年10月31日
Derogotory term for "colored people". Basically the same as saying Nigger
Dude...look at those mooncrickets in that back alley playing dice.
作者 Andrew 2004年9月27日
A dark colored being that comes out at night. Often sporting a throw-back and tims. May or may not have a lusterous grill. Often seen running from the police or a stray bullet.

It's often said that smell is the sense most closely tied to memory. This is nonsense. Yes, a scent may on occasion provoke an emphatic, unmediated recollection, but it is typically an imprecise one--a general period in one's life rather than a particular moment. Our specific memories, by contrast, are primarily visual and auditory, not unlike a movie playing in the mind's eye. It's hardly surprising, then, that cinema has often been described as a kind of synthetic memory. As John Malkovich, playing director F.W. Murnau in Shadow of the Vampire, explained, "We are scientists engaged in the creation of memory, but our memory will neither blur nor fade."
With Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, writer Charlie Kaufman and director Michel Gondry have created a film whose entire purpose is to blur and fade, a self-erasing tribute to the fragility of memory and of love. The film, released on video this week, begins simply enough: One cold, gray Valentine's morning, moody introvert Joel Barrish (Jim Carrey) decides on impulse to skip work and take a train out to Montauk, Long Island. There, on a desolate beach, he encounters manic extrovert Clementine Kruczynski (Kate Winslet). The two begin talking on the train ride home to New York, and over the next two nights love begins to bloom.
But as with Kaufman's earlier scripts (Human Nature, Being John Malkovich, Adaptation), things soon turn complicated. This is not the new romance that Joel and Clementine perceive it to be. The two of them have, in fact, just recently broken up after two years of living together. Eager to "get on with her life," Clementine had all memory of Joel erased from her mind by a low-rent medical outfit called Lacuna. Discovering Clementine's betrayal, Joel decided to have the procedure performed on himself as well. That night, unconscious in his bed as Lacuna technicians work (and play) around him, Joel relives each memory of Clementine even as it is wiped from his brain. The erasing process (and with it, the movie) works backward in time, beginning with the most recent memories, full of fights and ill-will. But as the process reaches further back, to moments of tenderness and joy, Joel rediscovers his love for Clementine and realizes he does not want to lose these memories after all. He tries frantically to find an obscure corner of his mind where he can hide some scrap of her from the technicians' hunt and destroy mission, but they always find him. He watches helplessly as, one by one, each memory is irretrievably lost--titles fade from the covers of books, passersby disappear, and then Clementine too vanishes, only to reappear in another doomed recollection, all the way back to their very first meeting, at a beach party in Montauk.
The story-told-in-reverse is a common enough movie device, usually utilized to conceal information from the audience. But Kaufman and Gondry use it to a different end, gradually uncovering not hidden facts but forgotten emotions. There are no unexpected twists or sudden revelations about Joel and Clementine, just a wistful backward view of love's decay. Unlike Kaufman's previous work, Eternal Sunshine sets out not to stun us with the originality of its gimmicks, but rather to wound us with the earnest familiarity of its sentiment.
At least, that's the case when it comes to the film's treatment of Joel and Clementine's relationship. But even as the film explores that two-year love affair, it also recounts the events of one night--the night that Joel lies in bed while Lacuna's memory thieves pillage his brain. The scatter-brained, vaguely adolescent technicians in charge of the procedure are Stan (Mark Ruffalo, endearing in Clark Kent glasses and a chaotic pompadour) and Patrick (Elijah Wood, looking all of 14). When Stan's quasi-girlfriend Mary (Kirsten Dunst) comes over to see him, Patrick decides to leave and spend time with his own new squeeze, Clementine--yes, the same one, whom he fell for while erasing her mind a few days earlier and has been wooing with lines stolen from her lost memories of Joel ever since. While Stan and Mary party around the dreaming Joel, the procedure hits a snag; Stan is forced to call in Lacuna's founder, Dr. Howard Mierzwiak (Tom Wilkinson), for whom Mary has long held a powerful schoolgirl crush. These amorous convolutions culminate in the one great surprise of the film, a poignant twist that underscores the cruelty of Lacuna's benevolent oblivion and both complicates and clarifies Joel and Clementine's post-erasure reunion.
At its core, Eternal Sunshine is about the need for atonement and redemption. "Freed" from the memory of their painful breakup, Joel and Clementine can no longer forgive nor ask forgiveness for past hurts received or inflicted, and can reconcile neither with one another nor with themselves. Their past together is like a frayed nerve that leads nowhere, the phantom limb of the amputee. No matter how many times they wander in the footsteps of their lost memories they can never recapture them. It is only through Fate or God's grace or True Love--or, for the more literal-minded, a glitch in Lacuna's process--that they are given a second chance to make themselves whole. These are admirably big themes.

I don't like silicone.
A few days later second iPhone 6 arrived. It was for me. As in the case with the first iPhone 6, I did not find any covers for myself. The only solution that I came up with at thattime was atested Bugatti Handmade in Europe -cheap and comfortable But this case is designed for 1-2 months.

St. Luke's Global City Training 2012.
- 1Mar 17, '12 by IamAnurse.I was just wondering if any one has received a response from SLMC GC about the schedule of PGNT1 for batch 2? I already have submitted my requirements and I have paid the initial training fee just recently but I haven't received any text message yet about the schedule of the training. I am just a bit worried because I received a call from a number I don't recognize on Friday about 5:30 AM and I wasn't able to answer it. SLMC told me that the training will probably start last Friday but then again I haven't received any text message from them. I hope the number is not theirs and that the training will start soon. :|
- 0Mar 17, '12 by theweirddebonairI think you should call the HR or the Nursing Training Office on monday or text the one who called you last friday in a very polite manner.
May I know if SLMC said anything or do you have any knowledge if they will conduct any more trainings in the next coming months? When did you pass your application and may we also know the dates and the processes you've been through? Thanks in advance!
- 0Apr 28, '12 by chloeisloveNSET and PGNT I would like to ask you a favor to please give us updates about it if there are still any in the future. Thank you!
- 0May 6, '12 by NewlyGradBSNdid your friend underwent nset also? or just straight to pgnt?
- 0May 14, '12 by chloeislovewhat are the requirements for the pgnt?
- 0May 28, '12 by cheezy_curlsHi, the requirements for the position of staff nurse are just same with the PGNT, here it is, SLMC QC: 1. Resume + 2pcs 2x2 pic (white background) 2. GWA (from school) 3. Class Rankings (from school) 4. Board Rating 5. PRC License 6. TOR 7. Diploma 8. Board certficate 9. Birth certificate Clear long plastic envelope *Place it or drop it at the pigeon box annex II 5th floor near the stairs (I heard from my PGNT batch mate that there will be another batch this June but I don't know if it's true, you can call the HR to confirm) --------------------------------------------- and for the SLMC - Global city Resume & Board Rating ONLY *submit it to the guard at the employees entrance and that's it. --------------------------------------------- BTW our batch have just started last Wed (May 23). So try to apply as early as possible, who knows if there will be hiring anytime soon. ) Good luck and God bless!

Gregor-Jotace Mission Cathedral's driving rhythms and building/fading waves of feedback and noise give it an exciting sense of urgency that makes it a fun listen. But even with the band's unique approach to the banjo (and with Collins sometimes switching to acoustic guitar), GJMC drags as songs start to sound alike. Though it's less than 40 minutes long, you won't be tempted to let it repeat. But you'll want to hear it again the next day.
Collins sometimes affects a Tom Waits talk-singing style with the gravelly quality of a drunken smoker who's spent the last six hours shouting over a loud jukebox. That along with the group's distorted modern take on the timeless sounds of banjo and acoustic guitar makes comparisons to Waits almost inevitable; because the band's name references artwork on Heartattack and Vine, I doubt they mind.

a shot form, bypassing the stomach? I have a basset who has slow digestion and has episodes of vomiting after eating or drinking too fast and my vet gives me Reglan (metoclopramide) 10mg tablets...which funny enough I have for myself as I also have slow digestion and acid reflux.

Welcome to the forum.... Boy, your Vet sure loaded him up w/some dangerous treatments!!! My first thought was he needed his anal glands expressed & that still could be a possibility....During all this, did they express them or just start treating w/antibiotics? POSSIBLE infection does not exist! Once they express the glands, the fluid can tell if infection is present or not! Some of this doesn't make sense! Does he try to lick and bite at his anal area?

-- When the weather is warm, working outdoors or walking
the woods may net you a tiny, blood-sucking hitchhiker - a tick that could carry Lyme disease. And the spiral-shaped bacteria that cause Lyme disease sometimes head for the heart, where they trigger problems that often masquerade as new or worsening heart disease. The August issue of the Harvard Heart Letter tells you how to spot trouble and prevent contact with ticks. Lyme carditis is the heart infection caused by Lyme disease.

Although the majority of experts favor the ingredient for its numerous health benefits, garlic (
rare cases) has been linked to Heinz body anemia
.4 However, the limited professional literature we surveyed provided no definitive warnings regarding the use of garlic… especially in small amounts (as it is here). Next, we find no mention of probiotics… friendly bacteria applied to the surface of the kibble after processing.

After 6 mos of various treatments with no avail, my vet tried a drug usually used to treat skin diseases
. The drug is Atopica 25mg. My cat was given 1 tablet twice a day initially, then lesser quantities. After 6 weeks, my cat was cured. I continued to give 1 tablet twice a week for 3 weeks and then stopped. It's now 1 1/2 years later and the disease has not returned. My cat is now happy and healthy. Hope this helps.

Cefdinir, Doxycycline, and Azithromycin along with Nystatin and probiotics to help combat the
of the antibiotics. Is this outdated to prescribe the Doxy at this stage? If I have it, I've had it for at least 6 months (my first really horrible go round) but more likely up to 10 years (when I first started having mild to moderate symptoms and running a fever most of the time). He did want me to supplement this Rx plan with some herbal type supplements, also.

A little history: I lived

Mass, Ct, and VT
hot bed of Lyme until 1977. Of course Lyme was virtually unknown then so maybe it was a secret bed. We spent our childhood playing in fields and woods with no thought of anything except avoiding yellow jacket nest and staying on our horses backs :) I was bitten by a lot of dog ticks, and took them off the dogs, gleefully dumping the flailing things into a can of gas.

lupus patients is it causes an immune response to occur
your body, thus causing the ANA level to spike. I can spend time in the sun (just a short period) and might not feel the effects the next day, but usually the 2nd or 3rd day after sun exposure. It makes me feel tired, achy, joint pain, weak muscles. I also get the malar rash from just being outside. My face gets magenta red. Then in a day or two, I get skin erruptions.

HI there For the past year and a half I have felt my joint areas degenerating - there is a lot of cracking
all my joints at all time at this stage. All day every day and night. It started in my shoulders and has moved all over my body.

well.. I can't really afford to go on daily suppressive therapy. Anti Viral meds are extremely expensive, as I'm sure anyone dealing with this knows.

When Andrew Kuhn was in the process of deciding where to transfer after his time at Mesa Community College, he had the well-know Arizona options: Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University or University of Arizona.
But you won't see Andrew trying his hand in Tempe, Flagstaff or Tucson this semester. Instead, he will be at the Mesa campus of Westminster College, one of the five new four-year colleges in downtown Mesa.
Ever since Mayor Scott Smith began to invite new colleges to consider Mesa as a campus, MCC has helped evaluate the suitability of each school for Mesa, said Shouan Pan, president of MCC.
The goal from the beginning was for MCC and the new colleges to work together to create a seamless educational experience, Smith said.
"This was all about creating new opportunities for our residents and it's nice to know that a student at MCC has three great state universities they can choose from and they also now have very, very well-established and reputable private liberal arts colleges right here in Mesa they can also choose from," Smith said.
Pan said that beyond MCC, some of the new colleges are embracing the presence of Chandler-Gilbert Community and the rest of the Maricopa County Community College District's 10 Valley-area campuses.
"These five new institutions, although they are here in the City of Mesa, really can tap into all 10 [Maricopa Community] Colleges, particularly the community colleges in the East Valley.
Pan said the addition of these new colleges will give local students additional options if they are looking for a smaller campus environment or a school with a religious affiliation.
The possible connection between the region's community colleges and the new Mesa schools help "expand educational options to students and to families within Mesa, within the East Valley," Pan said. "This is not so much about MCC, it's about supporting the mayor's vision, the city's goal."
Kuhn, who was the student body president during his time at MCC, is one of six former-MCC students in Westminster's first class, which has a total of 24 students. The more personal learning environment and the available resources for his transnational studies major were the main motivations behind his decision, he said.
"I'm from a small town, small high school classes, so ASU wasn't really ever an attractive option for me," Kuhn said.
He said he attended and helped plan a transfer fair for MCC which is one of the tools the school provides to students to help with their transfer decision-making process.
Along with the three in-state universities, MCC also included the new Mesa colleges and other small colleges from other states.
Hillarie Price, regional director of enrollment services at Westminster College, said Westminster has reached out to MCC's student government and Phi Theta Kappa organization to try to attract student leaders like Kuhn.
"When you're used to being somebody on campus, it's kind of hard just to go and just be another face in the sea so at Westminster they don't have to do that," Price said. "They can jump right into leadership roles here as they did and were actively involved in at MCC and now they're able to get into those positions right away at Westminster."
Pan said beyond being an additional opportunity for MCC students, the addition of the new colleges will also motivate positive change at the community college level.
"We all talk about competition but I think it's in some ways the presence of these five institutions may also prompt us to look at our offerings," Pan said. "How do we offer a quality education that is a Mesa Community College brand, that is distinct from other institutions?"
He said some of the new colleges are starting to work out transfer agreements with the Maricopa Community Colleges to make it easier for students to transition.
"This can only benefit the families in the community," Pan said. "In fact, in my mind, it will increase and expand intellectual capital for Mesa and the East Valley."
Jessica, a junior studying journalism at ASU's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, is an intern with the Tribune this semester. She can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or (480) 898-6548.

The frontiersmen have become an integral part of our history and folklore, but the Westering experiences of American women are equally central to an accurate picture of what life was like on the frontier.Through the diaries, letters, and reminiscences of women who participated in this migration, Women's Diaries of the Westward Journey gives us primary source material on the lives of these women, who kept campfires burning with buffalo chips and dried weeds, gave birth to and cared for children along primitive and dangerous roads, drove teams of oxen, picked berries, milked cows, and cooked meals in the middle of a wilderness that was a far cry from the homes they had left back east. Still (and often under the disapproving eyes of their husbands) they found time to write brave letters home or to jot a few weary lines at night into the diaries that continue to enthrall us.In her new foreword, Professor Mary Clearman Blew explores the enduring fascination with this subject among both historians and the general public, and places Schlissel's groundbreaking work into an intriguing historical and cultural context.

High School Student Launches World's First Fully Interchangeable Sunglasses
PRINCETON JUNCTION, N.J., April 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Matthew Sheffield may only be 18 years old, but has been an entrepreneur since he was 12 years old, and his most recent venture, "Shady Eyedeas, The First Interchangeable Sunglasses," is shaping up to be a huge success. Matt just launched his product on the popular crowd funding website, Indiegogo ( http://igg.me/at/shady/x/2837348) with the goal of raising $25 thousand to bring his idea to market. If successful, his sunglasses could be shipping as early as this summer.
The feature which makes Shady Eyedeas revolutionary is Matt's patent pending mechanism, which allows the sunglasses to be customized as often as you want using a full line of interchangeable parts. "When I was shopping online for sunglasses, I discovered many great color combinations, but buying them all wasn't possible, not on a teenager's budget. I realized that all of the sunglasses used the same parts, just in different combinations. It seemed both wasteful and not cost effective. That is how I came up with Shady Eyedeas." Shady Eyedeas is a collection of 8 color frames and arms, as well as 4 lenses, all of which are fully interchangeable, eliminating wasteful spending on duplicate parts. Priced at only $30 a pair, and $150 for the entire collection, Shadys are significantly less expensive than designer sunglasses.
Working with an engineer and designer, Matt created sunglasses that he describes as a modernization of a classic design. "I did not set out looking to design an entirely new style of sunglasses. My goal was to take a design which has been popular for decades, and add my own twist," said Matt.
Matt's favorite part of telling people about Shadys is what he calls "Shady Math." By owning 2 pairs of Shadys, you can make 8 unique pairs of sunglasses using different combinations of the Shady parts. If you own 3 pairs, you can create 81 unique pairs, and his favorite statistic, "If you own the entire collection of just 4 pairs of lenses, and 8 sets of parts, you can create over 2000 unique pairs of Shadys." According to Matt "Customizing Shadys is really simple and thanks to my patent pending mechanism, the entire process requires no tools. In less than a minute you can customize an entire pair."

ADA Info
Now that I'm officially qualified to serve as a member of the children's services staff of the Harris County Public Library system (Please see my Harry Potter blog entry), I decided to embark on a second quest by reading the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.
And speaking of the Harry Potter books, what's up with Hermione?
Two things bothered me about Hermione while reading the books. Firstly, what's up with that name? Every time I read it, I had to pause to attempt to remember the pronunciation. In fact, I didn't quite get it until about Book 6, despite my co-workers' pronunciation reminders. I'm sure the author, J.K. Rowling, probably included a pronunciation explanation early in the series, but it somehow didn't sink in. Finally, later in the series, Ron develops a habit of saying "Er-my-nee," which greatly sped my reading.
OK. I admit it. Until recently, I had not read any of the Harry Potter books. In fact, I had only seen the first movie (on TV, after falling asleep in the middle of the movie on my first couple of attempts to watch it). I still haven't seen any of the other movies, but now I can report I have read all seven of the books.
You see, shortly after I began working as a Children's Assistant here at Parker Williams, my associates in children's services expressed shock that I had not read the Harry Potter books. After admitting this serious deficit in my training, I embarked on a mission to read the novels. Did I mention there are seven of them? And they are big?
It was fun. The books are well written, the characters are intriguing and the plot is fast-paced enough it was hard to put the books down. I would recommend them to anyone young or old who enjoys fantasy or science fiction. Now where's my gold star?
You can begin signing up for March computer classes on Monday, February 15th. Call or visit the reference desk to sign up. Don't delay, space is limited!
Today's drizzly morning must have been a good fishing day along the Beamer Ditch here in Southeast Houston.
My osprey was back, this time on the Parker Williams side of the ditch about half a block northwest of the library. A flock of egrets was gathered another couple of blocks away toward the Beltway, eying the murky water with visions of breakfast in their heads. I usually see one or two egrets along the ditch on my way to work, but today about half a dozen were gathered. The cormorants that usually perch above the creek were gone today.
