Create magical moments with these inspired ideas and feel-good products.
Babies + Animals = Cuteness
Posted by Lauren Hartmann
Babies are cute. Animals are cute. Put them together and you have a total explosion of cuteness.
Babies + Animals = Cuteness
Nothing excites my baby quite like a fluffy animal can and when she beams with joy, I can't help but snap pictures of the cuteness.
Best Friends
Sharing a tender moment with her favorite fluffy animal: our German Shepherd, Marley.
Baby Chick
Fern was so excited about this chick that she wanted to squeeze it. Probably not the best idea. But, we did let her get a good, close-up look at the little guy.
Grandma's Cat
Fern loves her Grandma's kitty Bianca. On Fridays when she spends half of the day over there, she chases the cat around endlessly. Poor Bianca.
Hani Friend
This is our friend Lisa's little dog Hani. Fern loves him, because he's just her size.
Fern posing precariously close to the cheetah at the zoo. Don't worry. That's some really thick glass!
On a hike with a friend, we stopped to check out these chickens. Pretty sure she wanted to chase them.
Dog Ears
Dog ears are almost their own separate animal in Fern's mind. She is forever trying to grab and pet and pull at poor Marley's tall ears.
She was more excited about seeing the horse than taking the actual carriage ride when we went with her grandparents last month.
Free Range
One of this little's favorite things about play dates at her friends Poppy and Alomae's house? Their free-range chickens that she can stare at out the back window.
Not real, but...
So…this isn't a real animal obviously, but it was all the same in Fern's mind. Anything furry and fluffy and this girl is game!

While marijuana use may spark an increased appetite for everything from chips to dubious leftover takeout, it has little effect on overall metabolism, according to a new study that appeared recently in the American Diabetes Association journal Diabetes Care.

One of the classic effects of cannabis on people is raging hunger-the "marijuana munchies." The drug has been used to good effect on people with diseases that diminish appetite, helping them to regain a healthy interest in food. So it is a bit ironic that British drug maker GW Pharmaceuticals has created a cross-bred cannabis plant whose appetite-suppressing qualities could be used to treat type 2 diabetes.

I have two of these that have finaly recovered (ok one has totally) after two winters and are now flowering quite well but if they are going to earn their keep they need to do that again and again or else I'll repace them with something else. They were here when I moved to my flat so I have no real sentimental connection to them. So how do you prune them so they flower and dont get out of hand. the one of them that has recovered the best is growing at an alarming rate and if I let it just be I think it will become too big.
Thanks for the advice. I know this is a cotton lavender as I still have the lable. I will give it a trim tomorrow unless the heavens open again.
Last year I had tons of makota self-seeded tomatoes. Gave them to peple left right and centre and flogged some for 50p at work. Sadly they were rubish! I got one or two tomatoes out of them. My ordinary plant didn't to well eihter so it might just have been a bad summer. They grew very well to begin with and then didn't realy come to much.
Is yours F1 or normal. If the previous they will probably be rubish.
My advice is, if you have space I would do it. they might be fantastic!
This morning, I thought the postman had gone insane. It sounded like he was pushing through god knew what through my letterbox. When I checked some minutes later (still in bed when it happened) I found that he had pressed my new Magnolia through the letterbox. Luckily it had survived the treatment. Now I need to plant it before the weekend is over (Spent today in Kew Gardens so no time). Would it be able to live in a big pot for some time? Not sure where to plant it and in me meanwhile a pot is probably better than nothing.
Today whilst at Kew Gardens I saw some cotton lavenders in a border that was pruned within an inch of their lives and to my great surprise, they were sprouting from old wood. I always thought they didn't do that. I have one that is in desperate need of hard pruning but I haven't since you shouldn't. Has anyone tried this on them with success?
Thanks for all your recommendations. I'll have a look at them and see what they are.
I've been lusting after a Daphne for years but they are quite pricey.
I have a Mock Orange Manteneau d'Hermine so I think I'll give that a miss but I am quite surprised that mine is not as fragrant as I expected.
I quite like the idea of Penstimons. Do they hybridise easily via selfseeding?
As for Lavender, I have one that is doing quite well in a pot and my track record with rosemary's quite bad. The one I got last year seems to be on its last legs. Got two new small plants via work for a quid. Bargain!

The natural surroundings of Guludo are spectacular, with so much to discover both under water and on land.
The essence of Guludo is relaxation...
...whether that's on a dive drifting over the magnificent reef, watching a humpback whale teach its calf how to fin slap, walking through the village, or playing a game of traditional bau.
Whatever the activity you'll be sure to feel relaxed and refreshed when you finally decide on that much needed hammock time.

For many, Utah is synonymous with family history.
Many serious genealogists make pilgrimages to do research at the archives of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City. Brigham Young University in Provo is one of the few universities in the nation to offer a degree in family history. The state is also host to the largest internet based, genealogy company in the world, The Generations Network.
Now comes word that the Utah Valley section of Utah (the southern portion of the state's central urbanized area) has recently started forming its own local chapter of the Association of Professional Genealogists. You can read interim president Crista Cowan's take on the matter here.
Another interesting turn on the genealogical trail will take you to the site of what may be the first on-line piece of genealogical fiction at Harry McFry Investigates.
The quirky work is the product of British genealogist Thomas Hamburger Jr. His site also provides a link to his more traditional genealogical blog as well as a pleasant audio diversion, The Third Man Theme by Anton Karas.

text: The company added enhanced remote control to its microprocessor-controlled a.c. hipot tester, model 2510. Enhanced remote control was designed to allow integration into a fully automated testing environment. The enhanced remote control utilizes remote inputs to allow a user to send signals for test and reset, enabling the test cycle to be run remotely. Pass, fail, and processing signal outputs can also be monitored remotely by the user. Additional safety precautions have been added, including a remote safety interlock function. This function, designed to enhance operator safety, can be connected to a test guard station, which must be closed in order to allow a test to start. This will disable the test cycle, including the high voltage output unless a safe condition is detected. The 2510 provides test voltages up to 5,000 V a.c. and adjustable trip currents up to 10 mA.

While the hordes attending the annual people-a-thon in the Grand Teton- Yellowstone National Parks area were inching along in bumper-to-bumper traffic last summer lamenting their fate, a small group of plant lovers and I hiked in the solitary splendor of the Bighorn Mountains, a short distance away — often going an entire day without encountering anyone else.
I was traveling with nine amateur and expert botanists who shared a love of rock gardening and alpine wildflowers. We were on a tour benefiting the T.H. Everett Rock Garden of the New York Botanical Garden, and while we had an expert along to help us identify the plants, this is a trip that anyone could easily duplicate.
Our mission was to search out native American alpine wildflowers — species that grow mostly at or above timberline. The Bighorns are particularly rich in these floral gems, some of which appear no place else in the world. Many European botanists prize the area as highly as the Pyrenees and the Alps, so you're likely to cross paths with some of these enthusiasts — on their hands and knees — photographing our native treasures.
The Bighorn National Forest, which encompasses much of the mountain chain, consists of more than a million acres managed by the U.S. Forest Service, which allows both recreational and commercial uses of the land, including grazing. Unfortunately, these priorities sometimes conflict, and the dual usage can place a strain on the environment, taking a heavy toll on its plant life. In winter, activities like snowmobiling can damage fragile mountain tundra beyond any hope of reclamation. During the summer, thousands of sheep are trucked in to graze the mountain meadows to a nubbin, with the resultant loss of many plants. It's a problem that greatly disturbs environmentalists — often pitting them against locals who must make a living off the land — yet there is no easy solution.
Our plan was to make a circular trip: we'd fly into Billings, Montana, drive south to Wyoming, explore the Bighorns, then swing north, making a slight jog west to the Beartooth Mountains, to cross the fabled Beartooth Pass, which straddles the Wyoming-Montana border, before returning to Billings. The timing of our weeklong foray would be important. At these high elevations, summer allows the flowers only a brief six weeks or so to emerge from the snow, bloom, and disperse seed to perpetuate themselves. We chose the second week of July, which turned out to be perfect. (Friends who'd made the attempt a week earlier faced an unexpectedly late 14 inches of snow and weren't able to cross the Beartooth Pass.)
At Billings Logan International Airport we picked up three four-wheel-drive station wagons and headed south through the verdant rolling prairie of the Crow Indian Reservation. Cutting west on Route 14, we began to ascend the Bighorns in heavy rain and fog.
As we neared the top, the rain tapered off and the fog began to lift, its tendrils revealing tantalizing carpets of electric-blue delphinium and purplish-blue lupine beneath black-green conifers that hugged the road.
Our destination was Burgess Junction, Wyoming, which seems larger on the map than in reality, for it's composed solely of an intersection, a small trailer park, and an eight-room motel called Bear Lodge. Nearby, a larger building, owned by the motel, contains a one-room general store, a small bar, and a restaurant. Be forewarned: accommodations at Bear Lodge, while comfortable, border on the spartan. Most rooms have two double beds, a straight chair (if you're lucky), a shelf, and hooks on which to hang your clothes. The tiny bathrooms are clean and have adequate hot water, a blessing savored after a long day hiking in search of horticultural treasure. (The latter is a bit of hyperbole, for you can find wildflowers by simply walking across the road from the motel to explore the ditch.) Still, driving the graded, generally well maintained secondary roads will take you to places of great natural beauty, most of them displaying an embarrassment of flowers. When you find a likely spot, park at the side of the road and hike to your heart's content.
Hunting for flowers in the Bighorns isn't difficult; they'll surround you. Identifying them is another matter. We were fortunate enough to have our horticulturist along to guide us through the jungle of Latin names and point out the distinguishing characteristics of each species. But even he carried along a good field guide to wildflowers of the Rockies, as each of us did.
Despite the fact that the plant you see today may become sheep fodder tomorrow, collecting specimens is considered an ecological no-no and frowned on in most of the alpine world. (Many botanists photograph their discoveries; a good camera and plenty of film are indispensable.) Collecting a small amount of seed is allowed, however, provided you don't strip all of it from a plant. Some of these plants can be grown in a garden setting, particularly if started from seed.
The alpine meadows of the Bighorns are blanketed with mats of phlox species interwoven with astragalus, a member of the pea family, and a host of other wildflowers. Seepy bog areas where mountain springs bubble to the surface are studded with clusters of buttercups and monkey flowers, and if you're lucky, in drier areas you may even come across "Calypso bulbosa," a delightful little ground orchid just four inches tall.
The true gems, though, are usually found in places that seem the least promising. Look for stretches of rocky white rubble where the limestone cap that covers these granite-based mountains has been ground to small fragments by natural forces. At first glance this harsh terrain seems barren, yet it provides the quick drainage that most alpine flowers demand.
One of the loveliest is a barely three-inch-high dwarf columbine, "Aquilegia jonesii," which smothers its blue-gray tightly furled foliage with large purple flowers. Growing in limestone rubble, it steadfastly thumbs its nose at gardeners who try to coax it to flourish at lower elevations. It will grow, yes, but it rarely blooms in such circumstances and is only a pale shadow of itself in its natural habitat.

Help!!!! I'm about to be inundated with those damn shield bugs again. You know the ones that I mean? Those little black and red bugs that you see all over everything, and that smell to high heaven when you squish them?? I really have an issue with these things, I've seen them decimate a huge bed of snaps, and they're eating every Columbine I have right now!! I've tried hand picking them ( which I'm really good at, even heading off an invasion of red lily beetles ) but they are relentless. Do any of you know of an organic or inorganic spray or something that I can use? I've had it with these things!!! |

One mentioned a pheromone type cone trap that might be worth trying, but for the most part, hand-picking seems to be the best alternative as these armorlike bugs tend to be resilient to pesticides. At least, this is what I garnered from my browsing. I'm glad to hear that you are heading off the fast red lily eaters. I've been diligent about keeping an eye on the lilies, and picking/squishing the adults as I find them. So far, so good. Really, these bugs seem like too easy prey for me; I kind of feel badly for them because they're such easy targets. Oh, and MM and Veilchen, if you read this, I really appreciated your discussion of lined beetles in the other forum. It got me thinking about the bugs in the vegetable garden I've been helping tend, which as of now, to tempt the fates, are few. Just a few potato bugs (soon to be a few dozen, I'm sure), and the flea beetles have not decimated any of the young plants (yet). Anyhow, I got to reading around about potato bugs, and rediscovered a site I found useful, and enjoyed, last season: whatsthatbug.com Sweetfolly, I hope someone suggests a means of making your stink bugs reconsider your garden as their abode. Maureen |
Sweetfolly, "I'm about to be inundated with those damn shield bugs again. You know the ones that I mean? Those little black and red bugs that you see all over everything, and that smell to high heaven when you squish them??" I've seen several light green stink bugs (shield bugs) this year, but only one red and black true bug, and I don't think it was mature. It looked like a nymph. I don't know what I will do if they become a problem. MM |

Facility Showcase Guidelines
Guidelines for writing a Radio magazine Facility Showcase
FACILITY SHOWCASE: Ideally, the Facility Showcase article is written by someone involved in the construction or design of the project. This person is intimately familiar with many aspects of the facility's creation and is uniquely qualified to write about it.
In general, a Facility Showcase article is a facility tour in text. Speak directly to the reader as if you were providing a tour to a fellow broadcast engineer or SBE chapter. There is seldom a need to discuss the color choices or layout of the sales area unless there is a tie to the technology that is used. Focus on specific elements such as:
References to specific products or companies should be kept to a minimum and included only when needed. Discuss the technology that applies to a type of device or system, not how a specific product works.
Radio magazine uses a tutorial style. We want tight copy without unnecessary verbiage. Do not write a narrative manuscript. Do not use humor in a manuscript. Do not use a reporting style of article construction. We rarely run quotes from individuals. You are the authority on this subject.
Do not give your personal opinions unless they are backed by hard and convincing documentation. If you express a personal opinion, clearly identify it as such in the manuscript.
As a general rule include one photo, slide, illustration or chart for every page of manuscript you submit. This is an arbitrary goal, but it reminds authors of the need to provide illustrations of the subject they are covering. Product photographs provided with articles should have a specific need to be included. If the equipment has a unique feature that can be seen in a product shot better than it can be described in the copy, it will be used.
Do not list the names of individual persons involved in a project at a facility unless they add something to the story.
Use the active voice rather than the passive voice in article construction. For example, write "Check all transformers for overheating" rather than "All transformers should be checked for overheating."
General Article Construction
Develop a short and interesting headline for the article. Avoid long, dry headlines. Search for a headline that will make the reader want to learn more.
Use the first paragraph of the story to draw the reader into the article. Avoid beginning the article with dry statistics or broad generalizations. Instead, pick something unique about the material to be presented that will pique the reader's interest. Tell the reader something that he can identify with.
Step the reader through the facility in the body of the article.
Include a complete equipment list. We will edit the list if necessary. Include as many products as you can, even if they seem mundane. Wire, cable, connectors and on-air lights are all important elements of a facility.
Include your byline as you would like to read. For example, "By Bob Smith, CPBE." Include any relevant industry certification designations.
Include information for the author credit at the end. For example, "Smith is the chief engineer of WXYZ, Kansas City." We do not include e-mail addresses, phone numbers or other contact information in the author credit.
Payment for each article is determined by the editor.

FDA Cracks Down on Lipodissolve Procedures
Posted: April 8, 2010
It's a tempting premise: Get a series of drug injections and see pockets of fat on your body go away for good. But the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is alerting consumers about false and misleading claims being made about products used in lipodissolve and about other misbranding of these products.
Recipients of lipodissolve get a series of drug injections intended to dissolve and permanently remove small pockets of fat from various parts of the body. The process is also known as injection lipolysis, lipozap, lipotherapy, and mesotherapy.
"We are concerned that these companies are misleading consumers," says Janet Woodcock, MD, director of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. "It is important for anyone who is considering this voluntary procedure to understand that the products used to perform lipodissolve procedures are not approved by FDA for fat removal."
The drugs most regularly used in the lipodissolve injection regimen are phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate (commonly called PC and DC, respectively). Other ingredients may also be used, including drugs or components of other products such as vitamins, minerals, and herbal extracts.
What consumers should know
The FDA is alerting consumers that:
- It has not evaluated or approved products for use in lipodissolve.
- It is not aware of evidence supporting the effectiveness of the substances used in lipodissolve for fat elimination.
- The safety of these substances, when used alone or in combination, is unknown.
- It is not aware of clinical studies to support medical uses of lipodissolve.

I don't really feel like I have a lot of time to shop around, and there seem to be so many out there that I don't know where to start.
That depends on the facts of the case, the complexity, the county and your background.
Unfortunately we are not permitted to discuss fees on this site. Your best off finding an attorney you like and discussing fees with him directly. It doesn't take that much time to do a case review and have a fee quoted. Most attorneys will do this over the phone.
Hiring an attorney is like getting married. There is a attorney out there for every style, temperament and price point. What you need to consider is what you have at risk and what it is worth to you to get quality advice and guidance to help you out of the situation you find yourself in.
For instance, taking your dui example there is a wide range of exposure depending but the exact type of charges pending, the criminal and driving records of the individuals involved, and whether there will be any consequential impacts as a result of a conviction. A person with multiple dwi/dui's is going to have a greater exposure then a first timer, while a professional driver, a doctor, or a politician may have sever consequences from even a first time dui.
Most qualified attorneys will charge based upon their experience level, the amount of work involved and the nature of the risk to the individual. Thus, I would be very careful of any attorney who throws around numbers to you without even getting the basic facts of the case, such as your prior criminal and driving history, the jurisdiction where you were arrested, and whether an accident or injuries were involved.
While I am sure you can find a bargain basement attorney to represent you, it is true in legal profession as it is every where else - you get what you pay for.
Good luck,
Andrew R. Miller, Esq.
There are few crimes that have the potential to impact someone's life the way a DWI arrest can. Like most crimes, the prospect of potentially going to jail is a scary one but there are many additional potential consequences of a DWI case. The State via the NYPD Legal Bureau might try to seize ownership of your car in a separate civil lawsuit. Your insurance rates will likely increase drastically. Your privilege to drive in New York State will likely be suspended or revoked; this might affect any out of state license you may have. You will face a court-ordered evaluation of your drinking habits. You may be required to attend mandatory alcohol counseling. You may be rquired to wear an alocohol monitoring device on your ankle at great cost to yourself. You may also need to install an automobile ingnition interlock device on any car you drive regularly, again at your own expense. Plus there are fines and court costs as well as a Drinking Drivers Program required by the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Choosing the wrong DWI defense attorney can cost you money in ways that most people never consider. You need to find an attorney who stays on top of the latest Innovative DUI trial tools and combines that with relentless DWI cross examination to minimize or eliminate the terrible consequences of a DWI arrest. Saving money on a "good priced" lawyer may cost you more money in the long run..

All Saints, a UK fashion label, has released their Fall 2011 lookbook featuring Nigerian model, TY Ogunkoya. The clothes correlate with a general and reoccurring fall trend, which is usually the use of dull/dark colours, and include the incorporation of Dr. Martens style boots. It's definitely a breath of fresh air from the colour blocking that we have been seeing over the summer, and boasts of a casual look in terms of outfit matching and styling. This definitely works well with those who are into the vintage style of dressing, as the clothes have a sort of archaic and effortless feeling to them, washed up denim shirts are used, and the infamous carrot style trousers/jeans. Check the jump for more images.

text: The influence of weather on infectious diseases has been recognized for centuries. In our own experience, we know that some diseases like influenza are more common in the winter or others thrive better in the tropics. The effects of climate – weather over long periods of time – on infectious diseases have been getting a lot of attention lately. I was recently interviewed for a Focus Earth episode on infectious diseases and climate change. The introductory clip frames a debate between a calculated scientific position for the impact on individual infectious disease versus broad generalizations about global warming. It makes for great television and offers an opportunity to educate and engage the public about the health impact of climate change. In this case, both positions are true but highlight the difficulties in communicating the complexity of health effects from climate change – especially when we try to isolate the effects of climate from other biologic, ecologic, or social changes that lead to changes in infectious diseases.

Metabolic Syndrome: Risk Factors
People with metabolic syndrome are at increased risk of:
Metabolic syndrome is believed to be due to a combination of:
- Genetic factors, which you inherit from your family
- Environmental factors such as diet and physical activity level
The more risk factors you have for metabolic syndrome, the greater your likelihood of developing it. The risk of having metabolic syndrome also increases with age. If you have a number of risk factors, ask your doctor what you can do to reduce your risk.
Examples of these risk factors include:
- Ethnicity—Mexican American women, Caucasians, and African Americans have a higher risk.
- Obesity—You are more likely to develop many of the underlying conditions of metabolic syndrome if you are overweight, especially if that extra weight is around your waist or if your obesity began at a young age.
Having disorders or conditions associated with metabolic disorder such as:
- Type 2 or gestational diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Cholesterol problems
- Coronary artery disease —a heart condition where the arteries that supply blood to the heart narrow, increasing the chances of a heart attack
- Polycystic ovary syndrome —a hormonal disorder that occurs when a woman produces an excess of male hormones
- Genes—Having a family history of the disorders listed above
- Physical inactivity
- Poor diet—Eating a diet high in calories, sugar, saturated fats, and starchy foodsand low in dietary fiber increases your risk.
- Unhealthy habits, such as smoking
- Certain medication, such as atypical antipsychotics

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Trinity!
Facts about Trinity
- Breed: Border Collie/Beagle Mix
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Trinity's Info...
I am already spayed, in need of an experienced adopter, up to date with shots, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Trinity is looking for love. She is a tri-colored Border Collie mix, approx. 20 lbs. She is a very shy girl that has been through a lot. She was abandoned in field at a very young age, so she needs a patient and loving home. Trinity is great with other dogs and is working on the potty training.
If you'd like to meet this dog, please fill out an adoption application at http://www.sarocks.org/adopt or visit us on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/sarocksorg.
The $85 adoption fee includes spay/neuter surgery, up-to-date vaccinations, microchip, rabies tag, heartworm test, and 1st month's flea/tick & heartworm preventative.
Adopting an animal from a foster home gives you the best option of finding a pet that matches your lifestyle and home environment, because they are in foster, our foster homes are able to give you more information on their temperament and personality.
Other Pets at San Antonio R.O.C.K.S.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Trinity, a San Antonio Border Collie/Beagle puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Border Collie/Beagle for sale in San Antonio, or seeking a Border Collie/Beagle puppy from a breeder in San Antonio.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in San Antonio already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a San Antonio breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Border Collie/Beagle breeders who help with Border Collie/Beagle rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in San Antonio paves the way for another one to be saved.

Full of incredible wildlife, extraordinary wilderness, jungles, cannibals, pitfalls, triumph, danger and excitement, Looking for Adventure is the irresistible, inspiring story of a little boy who let his heart rule his head, this is the story of an adventurer extraordinaire whose childhood dream has taken him on a journey of a lifetime..
How do you become an explorer? It's a question every child has asked. And, Steve Backshall was no different. But after a rainy-day visit to an exhibition of artefacts from Papua New Guinea, it was a question that began to obsess the seven-year old Backshall. But surely he'd been born a century too late? And yet through boundless enthusiasm, determination and a refusal to accept defeat, Backshall was soon carrying business cards from National Geographic describing him as their 'Adventurer in Residence' The vast, untamed wildness of Papua New Guinea was where Backshall forged his unlikely path. From crushing lows of early failures to the extraordinary highs of the BBC's Lost Land of the Volcano expedition, it was this dark island which gave Backshall his opportunity.
Naturalist Steve Backshall is the presenter of the top-rated CBBC natural history programme, Deadly 60. After writing for Rough Guides and filming documentaries for National Geographic he became a key member of the expedition team for the hit series, Lost Land of the Jaguar, Lost Land of Volcano and Lost Land of the Tiger. He has written three books for children. He lives in Buckinghamshire.

Hi friends, Okay I am ready now, it is time to get off the hormones. So how do I start. Do I do one every other day for a few weeks? Then go to every 3, every 4 and every 5 days? How long do I take? Has someone done this sucessfully? |

Hi shotzy....so you are on pills? How much? I guess I shouldn't even be coaching you, since I was on a combi-patch, not a pill. But if I were going to do a pill, I would think that whatever causes the least fluctuations would be best. I would think that would be something like slowly cutting the pill smaller and smaller every day. That's what I did with my patch. It seems that if you take the same amount of pill every couple of days, there is more likely to be ups and downs. I took about 6 weeks to come off it completely. But don't be surprised if its a rough ride. But please stick to it. Just know ahead of time that it might not be fun. I think it takes 2 months more after that, to really know what you're going to feel like off it. Good luck to you! |
Thanks Catherinet, I am on prempro 0.3 mg/ 1.5 mg, the first number is the estrogen and second is the progesterone. The lowest dose available. Or at least that I know of. I wasnt aware that the time released pills could be shaved or cut in half. But it is good to know. I have a well built pill cutter so maybe I could start with cutting a small corner off of them. I will try it. If I dont try then I will tell myself that "no time" is a good time to get them out of my life. I will let you know how it goes. Shotzy |
- Posted by catherinet (My Page) on Wed, Oct 24, 07 at 22:11
Good luck shotzy. I'm not familiar with Prempro, so I hope I haven't steered you wrong. That's how I got off my beta blocker too. I first started out using an emory board on one! I wanted to start REAL slow! After a couple weeks at that, I started using the pill cutter. Keep me posted. |
Shotzky, what is wrong with just asking your doctor or pharmacist?!?!? Some of the advice in this thread is just plain WRONG. Your doc may be able to switch you to another brand with a lower dose or a differnt type of estrogen to help you taper off. Or give an estrogen only pill. Or switch you to a vaginal cream. |
I still have my uterus, which means no "estrogen only pill". I do use premarin cream topically on the vagina and clitorial area daily. Keeps dryness down, but certainly not "normal" . I do have a pretty good OB/GYN, but unfortunately the OB part of her speciality keeps her busy with women under 40 years of age. I do understand that this and other fourms arent perfect. But they are a sounding board, most of the dr.s just dont have the time for the listening part of the menopause issues. Thanks for your advice, all opinions are welcome. Shotzy |
- Posted by irishdancersgram (My Page) on Thu, Nov 1, 07 at 17:19
Shotzy, It would be best to talk to your doc about getting a reduced dose...I tried to wean myself off Premarin, which was a very bad idea.My cardiologist even told me it was a bad idea.....I did it, the way you described and all the nasties came back and then some...On my next visit to the regular doctor, I questioned the nurse and although they aren't allowed to tell you what to do, she said, it's your body and she just said to ask for 1/2 a dose...It has worked out perfect, no hot flashes etc. Good luck! |
Thanks Irish, I have my yearly appt in March. So I guess I can stay on these until then. They actually do not make a doze smaller than the one I take. I have talked with the pharmacist. But I am sure the ob will have an idea. Guess I have gone this for can go alittle further. Thanks again |

This is my new favorite purse. It is a smallish, but roomy crossbody bag. I wasn't so sure that I would like the navy color, but it is fantastic-goes with most everything I own! The only thing I don't care for are the inside pockets, they are a bit flimsy, but I have found this too be a pet peeve with most purses/bags!

This year, I've already created a new pumpkin bisque and salad, so I decided it was time to focus on something sweet. But I wasn't up for anything too complicated or time-consuming, so the tea bread category sprang quickly to mind.

Bugzilla – Bug 5424
Error generating bindings from wsdl with multiple port types
Last modified: 2007-07-06 06:04:57
You need to log in before you can comment on or make changes to this bug.
from a gt-user message: I'd like to define these methods in one WSDL file as belonging to separate ports, but globus-wsrf-cgen doesn't seem to be able to deal with this. Below I have included TxGridl.wsdl, which defines two ports, and the resulting service header file TxGridlService_skeleton.h generated by globus-wsrf-cgen. Looking in the skeleton where the string "TXGRIDLIDLPORTTYPE_SUBMITIDL_ERROR_TYPE" appears, you can see where invalid C code has been generated: the error type enum (which starts at the comment "/* Error Types for TxGridlService */") was broken between the two port types. joe
Fixed committed to 4.0 branch. The bug had already been fixed in trunk. joe

This summer, I, like many of my college-attending peers, split my weeks between an internship here at The Frisky and a part-time job. I happen to be waiting tables at a German restaurant near my home. Waitressing has provided me with an excess of strange knowledge and bizarre tales. Once I don my black button-down shirt and black dress pants pulled out of storage from my sister's days in the high school orchestra, my status as a human seems to change. Observing people is therefore my favorite part of the job by far.
Anyway, here I have compiled some of the more interesting experiences from my days as a waitress, categorized into The Good, The Bad, and The Strange.

located in the Sunshine village Plaza in the town center near the roundabout. It is much cheaper there.
Blue Hole Mineral Spring Negril Jamaica:
The Blue Hole Mineral Spring is a tourist attraction located only 25 minutes from Negril on the Caribbean island of Jamaica.Blue Hole Mineral Spring sits beneath a cavernous opening in Jamaica's terrain and is completely encased by Karst limestone. The naturally occurring minerals in the limestone act as an underground filter for the steady upwelling of water, leaving behind a luxuriously pure bath of minerals for visitors to enjoy..

1- Negril Hills Golf Club:
Located on the main highway with easy access from the famous 7 mile
beach in Negril, Negril Hills Golf Club offers a very affordable and interesting
round of golf. For those of you who need a break from the extreme
beauty, vibrant and adventurous culture, and gorgeous beachfront and rock
cliffs that are Negril, this course will meet the challenge. Everything about
this facility is unpretentious - from the clubhouse to the practice area to the
course itself. Nothing fancy, just a good test of golf in a spectacular
setting. After a few days of lazing around on the beach, it was good to be
back " in the mode.
For more in information: click here
2- Roaring River & Cave Tour:
There are two sources of the Roaring River.
Once source of water gushes from and old aqueduct while the other is a
Blue Hole where the upwelling of water flows down to meet the other
source in a confluence at a 300-year-old Cottonwood tree.
Part of the subterranean flow of this river passes through Karst limestone
caverns snaking through a rock formation across the river from that tree.
A footpath ascends up this rock outcropping to a locked iron gate at the
top of the path. The cathedral-like caverns are quite large with a small amount
of electrical light place conveniently out of sight providing a wonderful ambiance.
Smaller pools and caverns branch off along the way requiring a small bit
of stooping to avoid the overhanging formations. Be sure to bring a bathing suit
and a towel, as the water is very clean and loaded with healing minerals.
3- Negril Royal Palm Reserve:
The Negril Royal Palm Reserve is a beautiful and tranquil forest within the
Negril Great Morass and one of Jamaica's leading Eco-tourism attractions.
You will find the Royal Palm (Roystonia Princeps, or Swamp Cabbage Palm as
known locally), 114 plant species, and over 300 animal species including
birds, butterflies and reptiles. The Morass Royal Palms are found no where
else in the world. There is a museum where you can learn about native plants
and animals and you can take a guided tour along the wooden Royal Palm
Boardwalk Trail through the morass swamp forest. The Negril Royal Palm Reserve
is truly an outstanding cultural and environmental experience.
It is a great place for day tours, horseback riding, nature walks, bird
watching, fishing, company retreats, weddings, meditation, special events,
school tours, and scientific research.

Various Artists By Tom Orr Published April 3, 2007 From Bakabush: The First Ten Years Of StonetreeStonetree Records
Based in the Central American nation of Belize and dedicated to documenting the roots music of that country as well as neighboring Honduras and Guatemala, Stonetree Records' first decade is celebrated with this sumptuous collection. A melding of African, Spanish and indigenous elements comprises the music of the prominently featured Garifuna people, whose paranda style will enthrall lovers of unplugged Afro-Caribbean sounds. Spotlighted also are the accordion-driven, festive brukdown style; ballads and songs of social commentary in which acoustic guitars, percussion and unpolished vocals blend with assured infectiousness; and the dub poetry-like observations of Leroy Young The Grandmaster, a true original. Belize's Andy Palacio is likely the most familiar name here, but every featured artist deserves acclaim. If you're not already familiar with Stonetree's work, obtain this disc immediately. Then, once you're hooked, get out there and buy any release from the label that you can get your hands on.

Re: lost in africa
This actually made me laugh out loud when I saw it. Very nice.
Re: Stalking
I'm perplexed. The only African animal I can think of that adopts that kind of upright posture of the 2nd animal behind the bug, is the meerkat, but I wasn't aware meerkats hunted anything but bugs, arachnids, and sometimes snakes. So I don't know why a meerkat would be licking its chops over another mammal, and I don't know what that mammal is - given the cartoony style I suppose it could be just about any member of the rodent family. Then again, maybe the fact that the elephant is stalking a hunting male lion is meant to convince us that the actual behaviors of real animals aren't meant to be depicted... It is a very cute shirt, I love the expressions on the faces.

Hello, all! I try not to prune a newly transplanted perennial, but I think it's going to be necessary ... my husband (by accident) trampled the clump of Solomon's Seal my aunt just gave me from her garden. She's my favorite aunt, and it's her favorite plant, so I really want to save it, but it looks pathetic! The leaves are crushed. Can I prune it back to the best (or first!) lateral leaves so it doesn't look quite so shabby? I planted it by our front door, so it's really bugging me. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I would do that, yes. Save as many leaves as you can and cut the rest off. |
Chances are you will see brown soon. You may as well cut it down below the bend. Fully leafed out, SS do not tranplant so well, anyway. Not to worry,it will come back next year from the corm. |

I potted up my callas at 2 per each 6 inch pot in the house to get them started.Now I am looking to transplant these into containers.I have some that are 8in x 8in x 7in tall.Would these be big enough,will they still multiply in these?I also have some 8in x 15in x 6in tall.Which of these would be better or are any of them big enough?Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi, Callas can stand being root bound a bit. I also plant callas in pots and usually stick to 4 large or medium "tubers" in a 10" to 12" diameter pot. The pots are all 8-10" deep. I find this gives them enough room to expand and multiply through the growing season and still lets me get them out of the pots in the fall. I usually plant the tubers about 2" deep. I definitely wouldn't put more than 2 callas in your size pots. I find that bigger is better for ease of removal in the fall (I've had some tubers grow so large they get stuck and I had to break the pot to get them out). Also the smaller the pot size, the more you have to water. Hope this helps a bit. good luck with your callas. |

Where's your list of the most spiritually significant movies? Loved it.
I'm not completely sure which list you're referring to. You could mean:
- The Arts & Faith Top 100 spiritually significant films (this is the most recent list, from 2006; a new list for 2010 is about to be announced).
- The most spiritually significant films I've reviewed at Decent Films
- The Christianity Today Top 10 redeeming films of 2009

Blizzard: Sharing Wrath data is "extremely offensive and inappropriate" {WoW}
May 22nd 2008 8:42PM "grand dog and pony shows are a thing of the past and have been for quite a while."
Absolutely not. Many companies still do huge shows to present new products or services. Take the Cannes film festival for example. Many large movie studios still wait for that weekend to release their movies because of all the hype that's built around it. Blizzard waited until Blizzcon to make the Starcraft 2 announcement, Apple puts on huge shows for their product releases, etc, etc.
I could go on for a while, but you get the idea.
Blizzard: Sharing Wrath data is "extremely offensive and inappropriate" {WoW}
May 22nd 2008 8:10PM "any action Blizzard takes against these sites is misdirected"
I disagree. While these sites may not be the ones who actually leaked the information, they are disseminating it. And because these sites reach a much broader audience, they could actually be doing just as much harm.
We may all think that Blizzard is over-reacting, but let's see things from their perspective. They've been working hard on this expansion, and they are/were excited to make a big show out of the announcement. Now their big moment is ruined by people who were trusted by Blizzard, enough to help them polish their latest creation. They feel betrayed, understandably so.
The morons who did this aren't just hurting Blizzard, they're also hurting all of the folks who are taking part in the alpha. And probably future alphas, since Blizzard is likely to be rethinking this policy.

The Peace Keeper
Designer Darryl Carter modernizes his 19th-century Virginia farmhouse with bold gestures and a soothing palette
By Jura Koncius
Though he's used to fully focusing on clients and letting personal projects lag behind, this time Carter put the completion of his rural digs on the fast track, swiftly unearthing antiques and architectural salvage stashed in storage, including a collection of antique taxidermy amassed from eBay and Paris flea markets. (Two wild boar heads guard the foyer.) His vision for his rambling Virginia homestead involved a gentle renovation of some of its unfortunate additions, rooms that had been tacked onto the house from the 1920s through the '90s. "The house seemed too new," he says. "It didn't feel right. It wasn't tactile enough."
In a determined effort to age the structure, Carter refaced fireplaces, removed every extraneous molding, and added more beams. Built-in cabinets were fitted with satisfyingly creaky old doors. The designer's instructions to the renovation crew were simple and straightforward: Be purposefully sloppy and avoid perfection. "Please note how poorly all the walls are done," he says proudly, quickly adding, "You can't name my contractor though -- he doesn't want any credit."
The designer scoured salvage stores for the most humble of trappings, such as weathered hinges and hardware. "I wanted everything thoughtfully old," he explains. Ceilings, walls, and floors are painted in Benjamin Moore whites. "Color is the best way to unify disparate surfaces," he says. Floor-to-ceiling niches -- Carter calls them cavities -- were built into walls near the fireplaces for storage; the stacked logs they contain seem like organic sculpture. In the kitchen, the pine cabinets gave way to open shelves of reclaimed wood. A longtime fan of subtlety, Carter reversed a smoke-color toile de Jouy to lessen its impact and used it to upholster two antique English reading chairs.
Guests get deeply comfortable beds (one of them has a feather mattress), shelves of interesting books -- which have been arranged for visual appeal, some stacked, others standing upright -- and sheltering wing chairs equipped with warm blankets. As Carter explains, "My romantic idea for this house was that people would just relax and read."
The master bath always intrigues first-time guests, partly for its poetic emptiness but also for its curiosity factor. An oak demilune table has been turned into a sink vanity, and there's an antique milking-stool table and a generous shower. One section of wall has been left artfully unfinished, the underlying lath revealed in all its humble, horizontal glory. But it is the room's narrow 1890s galvanized-metal tub that gets the most comments; it looks barely large enough to shampoo Otis, the designer's German shorthaired pointer. As the six-foot-three Carter notes, the tub isn't meant to be used: "It's art. I'm never getting in there."
Plus, go inside Darryl Carter's D.C. townhouse.

Pond Aeration Systems and Lake Fountains
Aeration for ponds, lakes, canals, marinas or reservoirs
Dissolved oxygen is the most critical indicator of a pond's health and water quality.
Dissolved oxygen levels are dependent on the physical, chemical and biochemical activities prevailing in the water body. Oxygen is naturally added to aquatic ecosystems by aquatic plants and algae through the process of photosynthesis; and by diffusion at the water's surface and atmosphere interface. Animal, plant and bacteria respiration deplete oxygen.
When the oxygen is used up faster than it is produced, problems can occur:
- Oxidation of organic wastes slows down increasing bottom muck
- Anaerobic bacteria continue to breakdown organic materials, creating toxic gasses such as hydrogen sulfide
- Nutrients build up, increasing the growth of algae. Many of the worst algae species including the 'toxic' ones prefer high pH still-water habitats
- Fish cannot breathe, resulting in stress and possible mass fish kills
- The water becomes stratified with temperature differences between the top and bottom levels further reducing oxygen at the lower levels
Adding oxygen to your pond, lake, canal, marina or reservoir water with bottom diffused aeration can help reduce the nutrients that promote algae growth by speeding up the breakdown of organic matter at the bottom, reducing the nutrient rich muck buildup. Removing 'stratification' through aeration also balances the pH levels and ensures that fish and other organisms have the oxygen they need at all levels throughout the year.
