Excellent results for the PREVENTION of migraines Topamax has been a very good medication for me as far as the prevention of migraines. I have what they call the classic migraine or migraine with aura. I have had this type of migraine since I was about 17 years old (I am 45). If I don't take Topamax I can have sometimes 2-3 of these migraines a week and sometimes 2-3 auras a day. People with the auras have a higher incidence of stroke.
The only side effects I have from Topamax is occasional blurred vision and a feeling of pins and needles in the heels of my feet lasting about 15 to 20 minutes. Also soda tastes bad and flat, but actually that goes away after awhile.
I do also lose about 5-10 lbs of weight when on Topamax and the Topamax gives me more energy as I have mild depression and it seems to cause me to not feel as depressed.
Some people complain about feeling dopey from Topamax, I have ADD and I actually can concentrate better on it. I think how you react to it has to do with your brain chemistry.

I'm doing a parasite cleanse with black cumin seeds. I'm taking a spoonful daily. A tea can also be made with black cumin seeds but it's very bitter that way so I grind the seeds fresh at come and take it with some juice or water.
Black cumin seeds are said to be good for just about anything. Just like oregano and cloves, this herb also gets rid of parasites in the body.

We have a suite of 7 I-Macs running OSX 10.4.11 and Office X joined to a mac server using open directory and then via the mac server to active directory. I have locked down the systems to only use Simple Finder. I have started getting an error message when active directory users try to open Word X that says "There is not enough Memory or disk space to run word" The I-Macs have 1GB Ram and I think if memory serves me right 200GB HDD which should be plenty.
Any suggestions what could be causing this? I have tried reinstalling word etc. But the error message does not appear every time which is the other strange issue.
Is it a permissions thing? If i recall correctly Office on mac needs admin rights the first time it is run?
It has been a while since i deployed, removed and installed Neo Office

Oct. 10 (Bloomberg) -- The cost of insuring against default on European sovereign and corporate debt fell, according to traders of credit-default swaps.
The Markit iTraxx SovX Western Europe Index of swaps on 15 governments dropped seven basis points to 324 at 3:30 p.m. in London. A decline signals improvement in perceptions of credit quality.
Contracts on the Markit iTraxx Crossover Index of 50 companies with mostly high-yield credit ratings decreased 32.5 basis points to 781, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co.
The Markit iTraxx Europe Index of 125 companies with investment-grade ratings fell 9.75 basis points to 179.5 basis points. The Markit iTraxx Financial Index linked to senior debt of 25 banks and insurers decreased 11.5 basis points to 240.5 and the subordinated index dropped 19 to 483.
A basis point on a credit-default swap protecting 10 million euros ($13.7 million) of debt from default for five years is equivalent to 1,000 euros a year. Swaps pay the buyer face value in exchange for the underlying securities or the cash equivalent should a borrower fail to adhere to its debt agreements.

hey i hope its out in english soon becuse......i want check it
hey i hope its out in english soon becuse......i want check it
This arc is still interesting and i perfer the Hichigo to take over Ichigo's body but i reckon ether Ichigo or the Vaizards will pull something to gain another form of ban kai or something for Ichigo. A very typical increase the power situation .I reckon Ichigo willl have enough power to face the Z fighters in Dragon Ball. ^^
am i the only one that was happy with the chapter ? lol
although most of the chapter is kinda repetitive and cliche, i liked how KT had hollow-ichigo take away ichigo's bankai. it'll be interesting to see what ichigo could come up with now, if anything.
All shounen mangas have cliche stories, and that's because authors don't like to take risks, and the shounen formula will most likely bring them revenue or make them popular. Like somebody mentionned before the way ichigo acts doens't fit his profile, Like he never smile or he always has a mean look on his face, but in reality he is as soft as a pie. Ichigo should still be a little more badass.
bleachportal.net has the scanlation. question: the chapter is called black and white 3, is there a black and white two if so what chapter is it.
Can you wrestle a man with no arms? no, challenge him to boxing.
that's the thing, there is no black and white 2, so i just put black and white. i guess i was wrong
Perhaps the next one will be Black And White 2. Different numbering system to confuse the readers... Clever. >_>
Chapter 111 was Black and White and Chapter 166 was black and white 2.
Mystery explained. ;P

Evgenia Peretz: Friday Night Ladies
Like many women, I had zero interest in football until my husband unlocked the key. In my case, it was back in 1999, year of the tear-jerking story of St. Louis Rams quarterback Kurt Warner, who, just a few years before bringing his team to Super Bowl glory, was stocking Hamburger Helper at the local supermarket. Wait, it was even better: At the market, he'd met Brenda, a poor, single mother of a son with Down's Syndrome. Most men would have run. Not Kurt. He fell in love with the little guy and was there for his every need, and he and Brenda got married. Next thing you knew, he was hoisting the Vince Lombardi trophy.
The football weepies continued to roll in: Did you know that after 9/11, Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer reached out to this 10-year-old kid whose father was killed, and that the two still have dinner and talk all the time? That each year, Browns wide receiver Braylon Edwards personally provides a hundred inner-city Cleveland kids with scholarships? And don't cross Wilma "Chunky Mom" McNabb! Donovan's mother is so protective of her Eaglet she'll take on any Philadelphian who runs him down. (Not to mention Rush Limbaugh.)
This is human-interest football, or what might better be called Chick Grid. On the eve of Superbowl XLII, Chick Grid has exploded, thanks especially to Friday Night Lights, NBC's masterful castration of the book of the same title, by V.F.'s own Buzz Bissinger.Each week, girls across the country weigh in on the hot-button, heart-rending football issues happening in Dillon, Texas: Will Jesus freak Lila Gerrity finally get over her guilt about sleeping with drunken fullback Tim Riggins—the best friend of her boyfriend, former quarterback Jason Street, who's now paralyzed and in a wheelchair—and admit she's still hot for that bad boy? Can't Tyra look past benchwarmer Landry's acne and realize he's a gem? I mean, Tyra, the guy risked going to prison by killing the dude who raped you and then attacked you again! And Julie should just shut up and stop sulking about her parents, because Coach Taylor and Tami are just, like, the cutest. They're trying so hard and their lives are so busy, what with the new baby, her job as the school guidance counselor, and his job coaching whatever it is—football, I guess.
This season has been a strong year for real-life Chick Grid, too— especially for the sort of chick who's into In Touch magazine. Did you know that Elisabeth Hasselbeck, the ditsy Republican from The View, is married to a journeyman NFL quarterback named Tim, whose brother, Matt, is also on some football team? And what about Jessica Simpson's showing up at that Cowboys-Eagles game wearing Tony Romo's number—in pink! Couldn't you have just smacked her? I'm glad it was the worst game of his career.
And Tom Brady, well, the guy's got some nerve. First he starts off the season by getting his actress girlfriend, Bridget Moynihan, pregnant and then dumping her. Now, all we see are pictures of Mr. America with Gisele parading around Manhattan. Okay, we get it. You guys are tall. But I had a feeling Tom was a jerk when he was miked for a game a few weeks ago. He was so bossy!
Eli Manning, on the other hand—who knew? You're the little brother who could. After your conference-winning victory against the Packers, you ran to find your parents and your wife Abby, who was your high-school sweetheart. Adorable! So, my prediction? Giants over Patriots by 12 points. Because Brady, you got it coming!

Bentley to release Continential Flying Spur Speed at British Int'l Motor Show
Big, blocky, heavy, low – whatever. The one and only phrase you need to remember is "hellaciously fast." Bentley's Continental Flying Spur Speed, officially announced in June, is pretty much what it'd be like to strap an EMD powertrain from a freight locomotive into a car, without all the noise and industrial fumes. Set off by subtle cues, the Flying Spur Speed turns the burner up on the already hot Flying Spur, boosting horsepower out of the twelve cylinder powerplant to an even 600 hp from 552 hp. It's enough to hurtle this elegant block of English-cum-Germanic automobile to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, and filthy automotive types will be able to crawl all over this fine automobile at the British International Motor Show. In a mere 15 days, the special brightwork, rifled exhaust tips, and smooth as glass paint will be littered with fingerprints once the show opens to the public July 23rd at the ExCel London. Pardon us while we scour the intertubes for cheap airfare. Press release after the jump.
[Source: Bentley]
Crewe. 8 July 2008 The 2009 Bentley Continental Flying Spur and Continental Flying Spur Speed will make their official international motor show debuts at ExCel (London) later this month.
"We are delighted that the next chapter of the Flying Spur success story will begin in our home market and at the British International Motor Show, notably as our British customers have played a key part in making this Bentley the most sought-after 12-cylinder luxury saloon in the world," comments Stuart McCullough, Member of the Board for Sales and Marketing.
With its combination of exhilarating performance, luxury, craftsmanship and four-door practicality the 12-cylinder Continental Flying Spur has been at the forefront of Bentley's revitalisation since its launch in 2005 and the range is now refined and expanded with two highly distinctive models.
The instantly recognisable style of the Flying Spur undergoes a subtle evolution with changes to the front and rear design. The new, more upright grille and bolder lower air intake accentuate the distinctive Bentley profile, while a new rear bumper delivers a sleeker and more aggressive appearance.
The 552bhp Continental Flying Spur offers enhanced levels of comfort and choice. A comprehensive range of noise-absorbent measures including acoustic glazing ensure that cabin refinement, already a hallmark of the Continental Flying Spur, is best in class.
Bentley's famous commitment to the highest quality of craftsmanship and customer personalisation is highlighted with an enhanced choice of beautifully crafted marquetry and chrome inlays. In addition, seat piping, a traditional Bentley feature, has also been introduced with two new hide colours.
Joining the Continental Flying Spur in London is the 600bhp Flying Spur Speed which unleashes the potent performance and intense levels of driver engagement of its highly acclaimed stablemate, the Continental GT Speed.
Inspired by Bentley's legendary 'Speed' models that first appeared in 1923, the Flying Spur Speed offers a range of headline performance figures including a 0-60mph sprint time of 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 200mph.
The Flying Spur Speed is distinguished by unique design cues which underline its performance credentials, including dark-tinted radiator and air intake grilles, wider rifled exhaust tail pipes and unique 20-inch multi-spoke alloys.
Both Continental Flying Spur models can now be specified with Bentley Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). The ACC uses a long-range radar sensor, mounted in the lower front grille, to monitor the road ahead for other vehicles. When a slower moving vehicle is detected, the system automatically adjusts braking and acceleration to maintain a 'time gap', as selected by the driver.
The 'time gap' also controls the vehicle dynamic response. The larger the time gap the more relaxed the acceleration and braking, allowing the driver to tune the ACC system to suit their preferred driving style or to the prevailing traffic conditions.
Bentley Motors will also highlight its unique partnership with the renowned British hi-fi manufacturer, Naim. Designed exclusively for Bentley and available as a further option for both the Continental Flying Spur and Flying Spur Speed, the Naim system features an 1100 Watt amplifier (the most powerful in a production car) and 15 custom-built speakers. A next-generation Digital Signal Processor further enhances the listening experience. The Naim system will also be available on all Bentley models from August 2008 onward

Tigers busy, but will they be better?
When the Detroit Tigers introduced new closer Joe Nathan this week, the news conference quickly became about a lot more than Joe Nathan.
How active will the Tigers be in free agency for the rest of this offseason? Did they get enough in return for Doug Fister? Could Detroit now be in a position to sign Max Scherzer to a long-term deal?
And, more generally: Is this team in a better position to contend for a World Series than it was before?
''Well, I can't say `better,''' general manager Dave Dombrowski said Wednesday. ''But I can also say `as good.' This club has a chance to win the championship.''
That's all a baseball executive can do - give his team a chance to win a title. But after three years of aggressive spending, the Tigers may not be in a position to keep adding expensive stars to the roster. In fact, Detroit's offseason so far seems to underscore how hard it is to keep a talented team together as top players approach free agency.
''You couldn't have the Big Red Machine in today's game,'' Dombrowski said, referring to the great Cincinnati teams of the 1970s. ''Maybe the Yankees could, but I don't even know if the Yankees could. The game has changed.''
The Tigers finished last season with a payroll around $150 million. They signed Victor Martinez and Joaquin Benoit to big deals before the 2011 season, then added Prince Fielder - and an even bigger contract - about a year later.
Last offseason, Detroit signed Torii Hunter and brought back right-hander Anibal Sanchez, who had become a free agent. The Tigers also signed ace Justin Verlander to a $180 million, seven-year deal to prevent him from becoming a free agent after next season.
How much spending is too much? Dombrowski hasn't been specific, and he's quick to point out that Detroit has had and should continue to have one of the game's highest payrolls under owner Mike Ilitch.
''I never want to say anything about finances here. If people don't know by now what a generous owner we have - it's unbelievable,'' Dombrowski said. ''But you still have to have some consideration, because you can't sign all the best players.''
The Tigers traded Fielder for Ian Kinsler earlier this offseason, giving themselves more financial flexibility for both the short and long term. They also traded Fister, a dependable right-hander, to the Nationals for pitching prospect Robbie Ray, left-handed reliever Ian Krol and backup infielder Steve Lombardozzi.
Detroit signed Nathan to a two-year deal worth $20 million in guaranteed money. He'll make $19 million over the two years, then receive either a $10 million club option for 2016 or a $1 million buyout.
But while introducing Nathan, Dombrowski indicated he didn't think the Tigers would be involved in any major free agent signings during the rest of this offseason. That was a bit startling, considering how active Detroit has been in recent years.
Dombrowski did leave the door open to the possibility of a long-term contract for Scherzer, who won the American League Cy Young Award this year and will be a free agent after next season. If Scherzer does sign a deal that keeps him in Detroit for several years, it might explain some of the Tigers' other cost-conscious decisions this offseason.
For now, Detroit fans may have to settle for having, as Dombrowski put it, ''as good'' a team as last season. There's nothing wrong with that. The Tigers won 93 games in 2013 for their third straight AL Central title. Win that many again, and Detroit has a good chance to be back in the postseason, where its starting pitching is certainly formidable enough for a deep run.
But it's fair to wonder where all these moves leave the Tigers. Kinsler replaces free agent Omar Infante at second base, and Nathan replaces Benoit - another free agent - as the closer. Krol could help fill left-hander Drew Smyly's role in the bullpen, since Smyly will replace Fister in the rotation.
Miguel Cabrera will move from third base to first now that Fielder is gone, while top prospect Nick Castellanos steps in at third. That still leaves left field as a spot for a potential upgrade, and a free agent like Shin-Soo Choo or Carlos Beltran would probably fit well.
But if the Tigers don't make a run at either of those players - and they've been capable of surprises in the past - it remains to be seen whether they'll be able to replace the power provided by Fielder and Jhonny Peralta, who left via free agency.
Detroit can expect improvement defensively and on the basepaths, but after years of spending big and adding players, Dombrowski and the Tigers seem to face a different type of challenge this offseason, trying to keep a World Series-caliber team in contention while remaining cognizant of the future and any financial constraints that exist.
''We're trying to win a championship, but I do think you have to balance,'' Dombrowski said. ''If you blink, and you've got seven free agents at one time, and you don't have any plan for it, that's not real smart either. I think you're trying to win now - and we are - and I would sacrifice the future for the present. But you still have to be aware of those type of things too.''

PSLV-C19 puts spy satellite RISAT-1 into orbit
ISRO has successfully launched the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C19) carrying India's spy satellite RISAT-1 on Wednesday morning at 5.47 AM. This happens to be India's first indigenous spy satellite. Few seconds after the rocket was lifted off, the chairman of Indian Space Research Organization, K Radhakrishna has declared that the mission was a success. He has said that PSLV-C19 that carried RISAT-1 has successfully put the radar imagining satellite into the orbit.
It has to be mentioned here that the weight of RISAT-1 is over1858 kilograms and happens to be the heaviest satellites that the country ever launched. The cost of building and lifting off RISAT-1 was said to be 500 crore rupees making it India's most expensive satellite too.
The ISRO chairman has termed the mission as one of the pride moments for India. Even in bad weather, RISAT-1 will be taking high resolution pictures of earth's surface. Notably, N Valarmathi become the first woman to head a remote sensing satellite project. It may be noted that India earlier launched a spy satellite named RISAT-2 that was brought from Israel, but RISAT-1 is country's indigenous project.
Meanwhile, festive atmosphere prevailed in the early hours at Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota of Andhra Pradesh the moment the project became success. Everyone applauded for the successful launch of the satellite and greeted the ISRO chairman over the same. (Phani)

A pack of chips will give you 150 calories and to burn 150 calories you need to walk for 30 minutes
We hear of numerous studies from all over the globe about the increasing number of people with diabetes. The single most important reason in addition to genetic factors seems to be obesity, particularly the abdominal fat (belly fat). Studies have shown that by adopting a healthy lifestyle, it is possible to postpone diabetes. An obese person with a family history of diabetes is expected to be physically active and to eat a balanced diet. However, this seems to be the greatest challenge.
People come up with all kinds of excuses when told to be physically active and to do regular exercise. The usual excuses I get from my patients are: I have to do all the cooking at home, I have to rush to office, I do lot of travel and don't find time, I feel tired and so on.
Why do people find excuses for not doing exercise when they find time to sit in front of the TV for hours? Why don't they realise that doing regular exercise and being physically active are an integral part of our life?
Similarly, people including children just love all junk food but would not care for some four servings of fruits and vegetables per day which have been shown to reduce the risk of diabetes.
Schoolchildren in the cities do not find time to do regular exercise because they have either a lot of homework or they just sit in front of the TV in their leisure time. This has resulted in high rates of obesity among school-going children, which can lead to diabetes.
The solution to this problem is to try to be physically active wherever and whenever possible. Please do not use the lift to go down and to go up one or two floors except when you have a knee problem. Please get up from your seat in your office and take a walk whenever possible. Try to cut down the time spent on TV watching and take a stroll in the garden or on terrace and get some fresh air. If you are very particular about watching TV, an alternative would be to do stationary cycling.
Similarly, youngsters spend a lot of time on social networks, often munching their favourite snacks which leads to obesity and diabetes. Spend some time doing jogging or brisk walking before or after your social networking routine. Taking one pack of chips will give you 150 calories and to burn 150 calories you need to do walking for 30 minutes.
Homemakers should not give the usual excuse that they are doing all the cooking and that is enough exercise. They should also spend at least 30 minutes doing some form of aerobic exercise. Frequent travellers could practise yoga in their hotel rooms or go for a walk around their hotel.
Therefore, we need to shrug off our inertia and put on a pair of sports shoes and go for a walk. Similarly, start enjoying the taste of fruits and vegetables, and not just the tasty oily and high calorie food which just leads to obesity and the clogging of arteries.
We need to kick-start this habit in our country to save our community from the lifestyle disorder, diabetes.
Points to remember
- Do regular exercise without finding excuses
- Take a balanced diet consisting of sufficient amount of fruits and vegetables.
- Watch your weight every month and try to achieve the ideal body weight for your height.
- People with risk of developing diabetes could do blood tests after the age of 30 years to diagnose the stage of pre-diabetes.

Showing 3 reviews for Pyle PLG46.3
|Customer Review Summary for Pyle PLG46.3
|October 16, 2013
|Surprisingly quick shipping
Review by
Steven "D" from Detroit
I purchased a set of Pyle PLG46 speakers almost 5 years ago. Recently one of the speakers began to rattle, and must be replaced. Since I've listened to the Pyles this long and never had a problem with the sound quality, I chose not to experiment with another brand and go with something I was familiar with.
Shipping from Sonic was surprisingly quick! I would recommend to a friend.

Love um...look and sound great. Use an amp to get best sound especially for lows.. I use a powered woofer and the sound is just fine for my use..

Review by
Paul from Houston, TX
You get what you pay for. Hooked them up using the spec power ratings, and they tore in about a month. I bought them just as rear fill speakers and they did the job well at first, but not anymore. As for the sound quality when they worked, they sounded alright for the price, but you will definitely have better sound quality if you invest a little more money on another set of speakers.

Stimulus job draws 25 bids for Torrington project
TORRINGTON — A federal stimulus project that will fund street and sidewalk improvements on one block of Water Street downtown is drawing intense interest from construction firms.
As of late Thursday, 25 firms had submitted sealed competitive bids on the project, which could cost as much as $367,000. The project is being touted as the first tangible sign that the city's revitalization effort is taking hold, and although the work is technically outside the major infrastructure overhaul planned for the block surrounding the Warner Theatre, officials have coordinated designs to ensure a seamless, uniform look throughout downtown.

I enjoy working with very varied populations and being aware of their different needs.
My practice delivers care in a skillful and compassionate fashion and deals with a vast array of diverse psychopathology. I am sensitive to each individual needs and try to meet them to the best of my ability.
Overall outstanding treatment.
excelente, como persona, muy professional,muy contenta de tnerlo, como mi Dr
Helpful, direct, succinct and professional all the while also capably providing reassuring feedback
He was very helpful and really listened when I talked. He was genuinely happy for me when we talked.
This was my second appointment with Dr. Carbonell and so far I am very pleased with him. I didn't wait for either appointment, I actually could barely check in before he came to greet me. He is very friendly and a great listener. I feel very comfortable talking to him.
Dr Carbonell listened to what I said and we discussed my medications. He's a good man who cares about his patients. I feel confident that he's the right psychiatrist for me.
This is not the first time that i needed to wait for over an hour for him but this is the first time that i could stay for the appointment. He's a great doctor but bring a book ;)
He cares and he does not just wrote a scrip to get you out the door. Great guy. He has helped me in life more than anyone else in the medical field
I felt at ease and found him willing to talk and listen. We set a plan for my next steps and he made sure i had enough medication. His records (from my previous doctor) were accessible and accurate
I was very impressed with Dr. Carbonell. He made me feel welcome and comfortable. He asked me important questions and was an excellent listener. I also appreciated his fine sense of humor. He recommended a change in one medication that makes sense, we'll see what happens. I definately give this Dr. 5 stars and will see him again.,
I do not have to wait long to see Dr. Carbonell.
muy profesional
very satisfy...
Truly caring and attentive. Easy to talk to.
He was great... Listened and wanted to help.
I couldn't be more satisfied with Dr. Carbonell's care and professionalism. It is extremely important to have 100% trust and to feel completely at ease with your healthcare provider, which is how I feel about Dr. Carbonell. Sometimes the wait time can be long but when you do see him, be assured he will spend time giving you individualized attention as was given to all of his patients on that day. He not only takes a professional interest in you but a personal interest as well. On several occasions, I found myself being an extremely needy patient, and he has endless patience. He was caring, attentive and encouraging. He always makes me feel at ease even in the most stressful of situations. He is a combination of intelligence and personality. He is one doctor that I look forward to seeing.
He listens, very caring, and gives you time to speak. I would recommend a friend without question.
Very happy with this first time
Dr.Carbonnell was kind, and compassionate.
He is great!!
I have to say the intern was amazing. She made me feel reassured, calm and I felt as though she cared and listened. Dr. Carbonell came to the room and said, follow me. He walked briskly in front of me until we reached his office, at which point he told me to sit down. He finally asked if he'd had my name right and introduced himself. During our session he took a call, I felt this disputing. At some point I was talking about something and he changed the subject, knowing as he apologized about it. I've only been to a psychiatrist one other time and I've never been back I'll try one more appointment and see how it goes.
Dr. Carbonell is very personable and friendly. He has a sense of humor and made me feel very comfortable.
Excellent, he took the time and listened to my worries and concerns .he even asked me about my personal life and gave great insight and great examples relating to my struggles and recovery.
Dr. Carbonell is wise and insightful. I'm blessed to have him as my doctor.
He was very kind, listing to all of my concerns.
Outstanding doctor!
He's a terrific doctor!
He was a comfort to me.very professional. With a long term. Plan explained all medications. To me made lots of suggestions to overcome my problem.
He is awesome, very personal, and extremely professional - he is also extremely smart and well versed in his career.
Greatly enjoyed the visit
Great doctor but the appointment was really backed up at the end of the day. I'm happy I waited.
Worth the wait.
Dr. Fabian Carbonell is wonderful, very happy with the care.
His insurance practices are fine. Everything about the session with him was fine. No complaints.
I thought he was an attentive listener I felf confortable with him.
VERY pleasent
Excellent Doctor, very smart and caring.
Office was pristine. Waiting room had a television set and was spacious. Staff was professional and I felt really cared for. Dr Carbonell was professional and yet empathetic. We discuss what I expected and gave him an idea of what I want to work on. First psychiatrist visit ever where my blood pressure was taken as well as height and weight measured. My primary care physician referred me and he made sure my referral slip was there before I came for my visit. Everything was perfect. My appointment was for 6:45pm and yet Dr Carbonell took me into his office at 5pm. Wow.
Excellent Dr. Wait time was too long.
comfortable and relaxing
Great and profesional
He asks questions...and actually waits for you to answer. He probes when necessary and has a good sense of when to not push a subject. And the fact that he took me even though he was leaving is quite impressive. Restores my faith in the Hippocratic Oath. Thank you Dr. Carbonell.
Dr. Carbonell was very welcoming, receptive, straightforward, and thorough.
He was courteous and professional. Really cares about his patients.
I have been very happy with Dr Carbonell so far. I have a hard time using but I feel comfortable with him and feel he really listens and is compassionate which is very important.
Dr. Carbonell is a great doctor but, too many people/appointments made for the same time 6:15. I rush to be on time as I respect the Doctor's time and schedule....
I found his questions to be right to the point. He really cared during moments I seemed upset. Far better than my last doctor.
Outstanding doctor.
Great listener and gives solid advice.
Vary profecional...
From my last appointment, I couldn't tell you. I never saw the Dr. I arrived 20 minutes before my 7pm appt. and stayed in the waiting room for over an hour without seeing an assistant or him. There was noone to even ask about or tell that I was leaving. Haven't even gotten an inquiry about the missed appointment either. The prior appointment consisted of listening to the Dr. on the telephone for over ten minutes discussing another patient with one of his interns during MY appointment. I finally had to give the 'ole cough-cough to remind him I was in the room. Not impressed. Also the schedule is not convenient.
I am very pleased with Dr. Carbonell. He was very pleasant and understanding. He listened to my problems and was very caring and compassionate. I would highly recommend him and despite the long waiting time I feel that it was worth the wait. Thank you for your time,Dr. Carbonell and for an excellent bedside manner.
He's a great doctor but every time I have an appointment, I am seen an hour or more after the scheduled time. :(
Friendly staff & atmosphere.
He's a great guy and honest.
I was very pleased and thankful. I left feeling positive.
The scheduling is ridiculous because my appt. was for 2:40 and about 3:20 I was still waiting and talking to a woman who was still waiting to see the doctor , her appt. was for 2:30. She told me that one time she had to wait 2 hours to see the doctor. The clinic Is very depressing.
It was worth the wait
TImeliness is important.
Dr. Carbonell is Amazing! He does not rush you through the appointment and he is very comforting. He makes you feel like he is genuinely concerned about your mental/physical state of mind and that it is not just his occupation like many doctors do. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needed assistance with life. Even if people have to wait, he is definitely worth the wait time!
As usual, I had a great experience and received excellent service.
Dr. Carbonell is very comforting and caring. He does not rush you through your appointment and is very helpful.
Outstanding service.
I had difficulty finding his office, which meant I arrived late to my appointment. Once I arrive and my name taken by the intake person, I set in the waiting room. My only difficult was finding his office, I drove around for an hour attempting to locate it. If I had been told his office was by st. Joesph's Hospital, I would have arrived on time. Once in the doctors office, all went well.
he is a fine man,good doc.actually love visiting him he has done wonders for me
Great doctor - very humble and attentive to my needs.
he is excellent!! has helped immensly. may wait,but is worth it. i was in bad shape, and in only 2 visits i am much better
excellent person feel he will be big help to me
Three hours to spend 10 minutes with Dr. Carbonell!!! It's very frustrating.
Outstanding MD, would highly reccomend.
Terrible. Unprofessional. Find someone else to go to and save time and money.
It was very engaging.
Initial consult was right on time and I'd already met Fabian Carbonell through another consult for someone else. My second appointment time with him was more than an hour wait of which he was very apologetic for. But then we only had like a 30 minute session. I had thought sessions were an hour? Either way I do appreciate his knowledge and sincere attitude.
I was disappointed that I had to wait so long. Dr. Carbonell was very attentive and understanding. He was very comfortable to talk to.
Caring and kind. Good so far.
Dr. Carbonell is very professional and straight to the point while still being sensitive.
Very thourough and professional. Good Doc.
Dr. Carbobell is up to date with medical information, is considerate, caring, and takes time to answer questions. Best psychiatrist I have ever seen!
very pleasant
The wait was very inconvenient, and he didnt apologize until the end of the visit. We had a little difficulty trying to make it there on time, a phone call would have been nice so we didnt need to rush. It took us more than an hour to get to his clinic, then wait more than an hour to actually be seen.
Very caring, knowledgeable, and professional.

Read more "Getting to 'I do.'"
The engagement weekend had rushed by in a blur. I had yet to begin any actual planning, so I took the following Monday off from work. This was mostly to get a jump on figuring out the details of the big day namely, the date but partly to prolong that surreal, wonderful feeling I'd had for the past two days.
My mom picked me up early that morning. I was already jittery with excitement and anxiety. I wasn't sure exactly what this wedding-planning business entailed, and all I had to go on were horror stories from friends and family about churches booked years in advance and miles-long waiting lists for reception halls.
I'd always been careful to avoid visualizing my wedding too much before I was engaged. Sure, I'd dreamed of the day. What girl hasn't? But those dreams were fuzzy around the edges a long aisle, a frothy dress, a handsome groom. But the where and when and what type of flowers and cake never really mattered and I consider that a good thing.
That said, planning a wedding requires at least a rough vision. An outdoor party in flowering gardens? A country club event with plenty of photos on the golf course? I knew, for instance, that I wanted a summer wedding. I wanted to be in the city, and I loved the idea of making our getaway into a night dotted with stars and city lights. I wanted a careful mix of the grand, the modern, the romantic and the classic.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. My first order of business, on that first real day of my engaged life, was somewhat less dreamy: insuring the ring. This is something I've since seen on numerous wedding Web sites, but it had never occurred to me that rings don't naturally come insured. Maybe some do. Mine didn't.
This resulted in two days of nervous glances at my hand from myself, from Reese and from my parents, who often nagged me to turn the ring around, nestling the diamond in my palm, whenever I left the house. I'd let a few girlfriends try on the ring, and when one joked that she was going to run with it, I had to stop myself from grabbing her hand.
Insuring the ring wasn't too difficult. Our jeweler recommended a reputable company, and one phone call, one faxed appraisal and one hefty premium payment later, I could breathe a little easier.
Second order of business: the church. My mom and I rolled up to our church, St. Patrick's Cathedral, only to find that weddings were booked well into July 2010. My heart sank, but only for a minute.
We called St. Peter's, an old Catholic church with red brick and arched, stained-glass windows charmingly out of place in the shadow of a new skyscraper on South Tryon Street. It's more beautiful inside, too, and bigger than you'd think, with vaulted ceilings and muted colors, golds, creams and bronzes. The woman on the phone rattled off a list of available dates in June and July.
"July 10." I said it aloud a few times. I called Reese at work. I consulted with my roommate, who is getting married next June. Embarrassingly, I Googled "rainiest summer month," or something to that effect, as if I could predict whether the chance of rain that day would be greater than any other Saturday.
This is where it becomes important to decide and move on. "Let's do it," my mom said. "Let's do it," Reese said. I agreed.
On to the reception. My top choices were Founders Hall and the Wachovia Atrium. I loved their dramatic glass ceilings, the way the buildings towered over them, the sheer size of the spaces and their dance floors. I was amazed to learn both venues were wide open in July 2010.
The next step would be meeting with representatives from each to talk details the biggest, of course, being price. Until then, we had a tentative hold on the date and a church that had penciled us in until we sent in our deposit.
As the afternoon wound down, my mom and I, exhausted but triumphant, stopped by Reese's office to fill him in on our progress. He leaned in the window, and I pinched his arm. "We're getting married!" I said, and he laughed.
It felt as real as it ever had. We were getting married.

I just can say it is an amazing place to stay. It's a little difficult to find at first, but once you find it, you know why it is where it is. Amazing and wonderful beach next to it. I was doing surf over there. The B&B is clean, the wifi is great and the breakfast is great. People over there is really nice. The bar next to it makes that place pretty special. Tipical Irish bar with wonderful food. I recommend it to everybody.

That boy has a really high-pitched voice.An unfeminine female character looks like, or is mistaken for, a male. Sometimes this is to show that she's as tough as a guy, sometimes to show that she's a Butch Lesbian, but frequently just to show that she's unattractive. Often used for comedy, in which case she may be an Abhorrent Admirer. Supertrope of Bifauxnen, where a woman looks like an attractive young man, usually with fangirls (or fanboys) who take obvious notice. Not to be confused with Sweet Polly Oliver, who is a woman deliberately disguised as a man; Samus is a Girl, where the story is deliberately misleading about the character's gender; or Viewer Gender Confusion, where there's only out-of-universe confusion. Compare Dude Looks Like a Lady and Attractive Bent-Gender, for men who look like women, and The Lad-ette, for women who act like men. Sometimes involves a Gender Reveal.

Original Software, the Application Quality Management (AQM) and Automated Software Quality (ASQ) vendor, has announced the release of its latest version of TestDrive, an agile test automation solution, and TestDrive-Assist, a dynamic manual testing solution.
Version 7 is in direct response to an independent study undertaken earlier this year which revealed that the need for enhanced business agility was the highest rated market driver for improving software quality. With more complexity in IT projects and a need to respond faster to changing markets, development and QA teams have had to adapt the way they work. Original Software addresses the need for a more dynamic way of working and for agile test automation.
"Users have had a limited choice of agile test automation tools, which often seem rigid and inflexible to use in such a fast moving development environment," said Colin Armitage, CEO at Original Software. "The truth of the matter is that traditional test tools such as HP's QTP struggle to work in an agile environment. These kinds of tools only really suit application testing that involves long development cycles and strict change management regulations. Otherwise they simply won't work."
TestDrive-Assist and TestDrive are fully integrated solutions that allow companies to manage the journey to automation in a seamless and painless manner. TestDrive-Assist, discreetly captures tests while they are performed, including what is happening within the application. It also provides an audit trail and clear information for reproducing bugs. Its ability to automatically migrate these tests to an automated test script in TestDrive is a unique and powerful enabler for customers practicing agile or iterative development techniques. The functionality allows customers to test earlier, in bite-sized pieces and, by the end of the scrum or iteration, these scripts form the foundation of a future automated test.
The announcement comes shortly after HP's launch of HP Sprinter. "3 years after the launch of TestDrive-Assist, we were amused by HP's entry into manual testing and their claims to be establishing a new paradigm," continued Colin Armitage. "It's reassuring for us to see HP taking its first baby steps in following Original Software and sharing our vision of making manual testing more efficient and productive. However, HP Sprinter is definitely not "a new approach to manual testing"¹, especially when you consider that you need Quality Center installed to make any headway with your manual testing. Not exactly a cost-effective or stand alone solution."
Version 7 continues with Original Software vision of continued innovation for the testing community, and incorporates a number of new benefits and features:
- Full support for the Adobe Flex framework, enabling the productive testing of web applications built using Flex.
- Intelligent test annotation whereby the automated test uses the same input descriptions that a user would see on the screen, enabling greater tolerance of application changes.
- One click conversion of manual tests to automated test scripts.
- Use of a single script over multiple technologies, meaning that a Firefox script could be run over Internet Explorer
A recent Ovum report stated: "TestDrive-Assist provides you with a rich environment for manual testing, but the bigger payback is how it facilitates adoption of full automation. Uniquely for any of the guided manual test execution products that we know of, Original can automatically convert a manual TestDrive-Assist test into a fully automated TestDrive test that can be repeated. Overall this is a low risk, low cost way of progressively adopting test automation. It fits in with classic waterfall processes, and it can also be used in agile processes more easily than other functional test automation suites."

A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...

Has anyone had the first exam yet? EEEEK!
- 0Jan 23, '13 by KimmyKat45I'm a first year student in an ADN program, and we have our first exam coming up soon (Nclex style). I've read the tips, practiced questions in my review books, and I've read and reread all the material. I feel confident that I know the material and I have prepared myself well.....but I'd love to hear from people who have already taken the first exam.
Was it more difficult than you thought? How did you do? Any additional tips?
Thanks in advance!
- 1Jan 23, '13 by Skips, BSN, RNWell, my very first nursing test in fundamentals, I got a B on it. (: That was a year ago!
I guess I should add more about it. It was harder than I expected. Lots of details to remember that I seemed to gloss over. I focused more on how questions are worded the more I tested in class.
- 1Jan 23, '13 by Sun0408My first nursing exam was a joke. I got something close to a 70, sorry don't remember the actual grade anymore but it was low. Funny thing, I only missed 3 of the actual nursing questions. I missed all the questions re: the syllabus because I never read it nor did I think questions would come from it LOL
- 0Jan 23, '13 by springchick1I didn't do great on my first nursing test. I knew the material inside and out but the style of questioning really messed me up. And don't get me started on the "Select All that Apply" questions. BUT, I got used to them. I got better at answering the questions and understanding what they were looking for. I would recommend getting an NCLEX style study guide and just practice, practice, practice! Good luck to you
- 3Jan 24, '13 by rubatoMy first exam grade was an 84. Big shocker for me. But, I learned from it and did great on the second exam. I learned that the rationales are soooo important. Just try to figure out EXACTLY what the question is asking. Highlight or underline important words and eliminate obvious wrong answers. When you have the answers narrowed down, look at the question again and figure out which answer is right for the situation.
- 0Jan 25, '13 by flyersfan88, BSN, RN1st health assessment test-93
1st fundamentals test-89
pretty happy with the start i've had. hoping to keep it going since it's only going to get harder!
I read the chapters, outlined the power points with additional info from the chapters, and did any/all practice questions from books/study guides and studied the rationales. I didn't think the tests were that hard, but if I didn't put so much effort into studying it would've been awful.
- 0Jan 26, '13 by AOx1 GuideI would consider the book Test Success. It has great tips for taking NCLEX-style questions. I recommend it for my first semester students. There is a whole series of success books, one for each content area (ex-fundamentals success) that are good practice for NCLEX-style questions. Good luck!
- 1Jan 26, '13 by littlebear23I have exams coming up, and after learning the new tools I need to succeed after my accident, I am very confident! Sure I'm a little nervous, but I think that's normal.
My first nursing exam.... god! it was terrible! I totally bombed that exam, and like you, I studied so hard and dedicated every minute to Fundamentals. If you fail, don't worry! That too is normal! I'm not saying don't study, or put time into your studying, I'm saying that if you don't get a good grade on your first nursing exam, don't beat yourself up.
Nursing exams are tricky, and a completely different learning style. Unlike your basic science classes, you cannot memorize the material. You have to apply what you know to the exam question. You will learn how to do this, it just takes time. If you don't do as well as you hoped, sit down with the instructor and find out what it is you can do to prepare for the next exam.
Remember, nursing school is a learning process. You aren't expected to get good grades on every single exam. Good luck!
- 0Jan 26, '13 by Future_Chief_CRNAMine is in 2 weeks! Microbiology!! I've been reviewing and going over notes each day.
