Psychology paper finds Facebook and other social media offer platform for obsessions with self-image and shallow friendships
Researchers have established a direct link between the number of friends you have on Facebook and the degree to which you are a "socially disruptive" narcissist, confirming the conclusions of many social media sceptics.
People who score highly on the Narcissistic Personality Inventory questionnaire had more friends on Facebook, tagged themselves more often and updated their newsfeeds more regularly.
The research comes amid increasing evidence that young people are becoming increasingly narcissistic, and obsessed with self-image and shallow friendships.
The latest study, published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences, also found that narcissists responded more aggressively to derogatory comments made about them on the social networking site's public walls and changed their profile pictures more often.
A number of previous studies have linked narcissism with Facebook use, but this is some of the first evidence of a direct relationship between Facebook friends and the most "toxic" elements of narcissistic personality disorder.
Researchers at Western Illinois University studied the Facebook habits of 294 students, aged between 18 and 65, and measured two "socially disruptive" elements of narcissism – grandiose exhibitionism (GE) and entitlement/exploitativeness (EE).
GE includes "self-absorption, vanity, superiority, and exhibitionistic tendencies" and people who score high on this aspect of narcissism need to be constantly at the centre of attention. They often say shocking things and inappropriately self-disclose because they cannot stand to be ignored or waste a chance of self-promotion.
The EE aspect includes "a sense of deserving respect and a willingness to manipulate and take advantage of others".
The research revealed that the higher someone scored on aspects of GE, the greater the number of friends they had on Facebook, with some amassing more than 800.
Those scoring highly on EE and GG were also more likely to accept friend requests from strangers and seek social support, but less likely to provide it, according to the research.
Carol Craig, a social scientist and chief executive of the Centre for Confidence and Well-being, said young people in Britain were becoming increasingly narcissistic and Facebook provided a platform for the disorder.
"The way that children are being educated is focussing more and more on the importance of self esteem – on how you are seen in the eyes of others. This method of teaching has been imported from the US and is 'all about me'.
"Facebook provides a platform for people to self-promote by changing profile pictures and showing how many hundreds of friends you have. I know of some who have more than 1,000."
Dr Viv Vignoles, senior lecturer in social psychology at Sussex University, said there was "clear evidence" from studies in America that college students were becoming increasingly narcissistic.
But he added: "Whether the same is true of non-college students or of young people in other countries, such as the UK, remains an open question, as far as I know.
"Without understanding the causes underlying the historical change in US college students, we do not know whether these causes are factors that are relatively specific to American culture, such as the political focus on increasing self-esteem in the late 80s and early 90s or whether they are factors that are more general, for example new technologies such as mobile phones and Facebook."
Vignoles said the correlational nature of the latest study meant it was difficult to be certain whether individual differences in narcissism led to certain patterns of Facebook behaviour, whether patterns of Facebook behaviour led to individual differences in narcissism, or a bit of both.
Christopher Carpenter, who ran the study, said: "In general, the 'dark side' of Facebook requires more research in order to better understand Facebook's socially beneficial and harmful aspects in order to enhance the former and curtail the latter.
"If Facebook is to be a place where people go to repair their damaged ego and seek social support, it is vitally important to discover the potentially negative communication one might find on Facebook and the kinds of people likely to engage in them. Ideally, people will engage in pro-social Facebooking rather than anti-social me-booking."

Portuguese Timor
Ref 0.CH1280451
We agree that differences in emphasis according to the audience are to be expected but wonder whether these differences go beyond a simple variation of emphasis as you suggest. Your account of what Santos said in Canberra is not inconsistent with the understanding the Indonesians themselves have of the Portuguese Government's attitude except, as you note, on the matter of timing. The Indonesians have received no assurance that the incorporation of Portuguese Timor into Indonesia is Portugal's first wish but, as they understand it, Portugal does not wish to continue running the colony in the long term and nor does it regard independence as a realistic proposition. The Indonesians do not, however, appear to have discussed with the Portuguese the length of time that would be required to prepare the territory for eventual incorporation into Indonesia. Tjan went through Ali's report to the President very closely with us and there was, as far as we can recall, no mention of the time frame in his discussions with the various Portuguese Ministers. It seems that their discussion stopped short at establishing agreement in principle on the most sensible outcome in the long term: possibly Ali Murtopo quite deliberately did not try out the Portuguese as to how far they were willing to cooperate with Indonesia, or how long they thought the process would take, for fear that such discussion might only expose differences.
- As far as we can gather, the Indonesians are under no illusions about current attitudes within Portuguese Timor. Despite the spate of wishful press articles in certain authoritative Indonesian newspapers, Ali Murtopo's advisers (and it is Ali Murtopo who has the real running of practical policy) are well aware that APODETI is the weakest party, that a vote now would probably solidly favour continuing association with Portugal, and that the longer the decolonization period, the more likely it is that a strong independence movement will develop. They therefore regard timing as critical. Lim Bian Kie told us on return from New York that he considered it would be best if matters moved to a resolution within about 18 months. This would be the minimum time in which the Indonesians could expect to convince the local population in Timor of its benevolent intentions, but they are very well aware of the risks, from their point of view, of allowing political development to flower for much longer than that. It is not, therefore, a matter of the Indonesians feeling that delay would involve some loss of self-respect, but that delay would be highly unwise tactically.

Does anyone know of a website or program where i can create my own mastery trees? (like adjust ranks how i want to, adjust names of masteries, descriptions, requirements etc).
Riza Hawkeye
Why would u need that? you can change it in-game so many times as you like, you even can make 10 of them :/
I dont really get what the point of that would be. LOL look at any guide and there will be what masteries you need --> http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/browse
You didn't understand my question. I want an "empty" mastery calculator. With no descriptions, no values, nothing. Just the "squares", so i could put in whatever i want in terms of skill descriptions,values and requirements (the arrows from one skill to the other). Got it now? (basically something that allows full edit of the masteries)
http://www.solomid.net/guides.php?g=1785 If you go down to where the masteries section is you can see what they give per level. Is that what you're asking?

Customer Raves & Reviews
Pleased Bride
Classic Damask Rectangle Invitations We are so pleased with the save the date cards and wedding announcements that we ordered through magnetStreet. There is a great selection to meet anyone's style. We were able to create it exactly how we wanted it and it was easy to create. They arrived very quickly after we ordered them and looked exactly as we were expecting them to look when they arrived. I also am very please with the excellent customer service I received when I had questions. I received personal assistance immediately when I called and the lady I spoke with was very pleasant and helpful. When I emailed, they replied back very quickly. I would definitely recommend using magnetStreet!
Elegant Save the Dates
Paris Appeal Save the Date Cards My fiance and I went to a number of invitation shops and received quotes for Save the Dates and Invitation suites for 50-75 guests in the price range of $1,500-$3,000. Ridiculous. We went to MagnetStreet. We worked with their designers and were able to modify a design and make it our own. We were able to order samples to see and feel our design before placing and paying for our full order. Our Save the Dates are beautiful!! We used the Pearl Luxe paper. It has a beautiful sheen and feel, and the paper weight is great. The quality and service is unbeatable. And, I know because I tried working with the pricey invitation designers. They were slow and ridiculously over-priced. Using MagnetStreet will allow us to personally design our own Save the Date and Invitation suite for less than $500. Leaving us an extra $1,000-$2,500 in the budget to go towards other wedding costs. I highly recommend MagnetStreet for quality, service, and promptness - 3 of the most important things to a Bride while wedding planning. Thank you MagnetStreet!
Paris Appeal Tea-length Invitations My cousin got her save the dates for her upcoming wedding from MagnetStreet and recommended them to my fiance and I when shopping for wedding invitations. I was nervous at first to order something so important online but absolutely loved her save the dates so we decided to give it a try and ordered free samples of the invitation size and colors we liked. My Fiance and I were thrilled when we also discovered the "just one" deal and immediately took advantage. We were able to order one invitation with all the extras we wanted for no charge. It was so so so helpful to be able to see exactly how our invitation was going to look and feel. We were so in love with it we ordered all the rest! I was so impressed with how beautifully packaged all their products were. Nothing was ever bent or crushed and very protected during shipment. The staff is very friendly and responds quickly to all emailed questions. I was completely satisfied with the quality of product and service we received for the price. We got an amazing deal and it was worth every penny. I will definitely be using MagnetStreet again and HIGHLY recommend them!!!
Great quality and beautifully packaged!
Classic Damask Thank You Cards I love my wedding invites! The quality is terrific and it was pretty easy to design and edit. Definitely recommended!
Great -- smaller than expected, very high quality
Classic Damask Save the Date Cards I loved the personalization available on the card (I didn't want script, and only wanted color on the flower -- we brought down to burgundy to match my bridesmaids' dresses). The look is very sophisticated and the paper itself was a nice, glossy cardstock of an appropriate thickness. The size is smaller than I expected, but contrasts nicely with the postcards and magnets (all 5" x 7") I've received from friends. I was very impressed with the quality and customization software (much easier to use than that of competitors) and the price was unbeatable -- including rush shipping, envelopes (with beautiful silver lining!!) we paid less than $0.75 per card. It doesn't look it!! Thanks MagnetStreet!

103 Portland Ave. SMinneapolis, MN 55401 Phone: 612 313-7793
Mill Ruins Park is located on the west bank of the Mississippi River in downtown Minneapolis and is adjacent to St. Anthony Falls and the Stone Arch Bridge. As the centerpiece of the revitalization of Minneapolis' historic West Side Milling District, Mill Ruins Park combines an exploration of the history of Minneapolis with present day activities for all ages.
In its 19th-century heyday, this area of mills, canals, tailraces and other historic resources comprised the largest direct-drive water-powered facility in the world and was the leading international producer of flour, a commodity which was shipped both nationwide and worldwide.
This industrial powerhouse was the catalyst for the development of Minneapolis and the birthplace of a number of companies which remain significant to this day, including General Mills, Pillsbury, Washburn Crosby (WCCO), and Xcel Energy.
Mill Ruins Park lies within the St. Anthony Falls Historic District and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Mill Ruins Park is directly adjacent to the 1883 Stone Arch Bridge, a National Historic Engineering Landmark constructed to connect Midwestern farmers and their crops of wheat to the booming flour production mills.
The park tells this story through the now exposed historic walls and waterpower features long buried beneath many feet of sand and gravel. With the reopening of the historic tailrace canal, which carried water from the mill turbines back to the river, visitors have the opportunity to interact directly with an exciting water feature.
Mill Ruins Park features the historic mill ruins, biking and walking paths, landscaping, raised catwalks, interpretive signs to provide information and guide visitors as they explore the river, and spectacular views of the falls and the Stone Arch Bridge. Guided programs and tours are also available.
For information on tours or programs call 612-313-7793 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

PetsPrefer Urinary Health for Cats contains a unique blend of ingredients that effectively support a healthy urinary tract and bladder function in cats. It also contains taurine for added benefits. This supplement is easy to feed because the tablets can be crushed and given with food.
Urinary Health for Cats uses cranberry extract, rather than the juice, which is less palatable. Cranberries have been shown to work against the development of infections because they contain a substance called Hippuric Acid. This substance is involved with antibiotic activity, and helps to prevent bacteria such as E. coli from adhering to the bladder wall.
Vitamin C supports liver and kidney functions, as well as the immune system. It has been shown to help with strengthening immune systems that are weakened from stress, a condition which can predispose cats to urinary tract disorders because stress and fear of pain can lead to reluctance to make trips to the litter box and fresh drinking water.
Marshmallow Root helps support proper digestion and bowel health, while dandelion works to get rid of toxic deposits in the kidneys and urinary tract. It also acts as a disinfectant to stop microbial growth in the urinary system. This supplement also contains Pyridoxine Hcl, a Vitamin B6 that helps to maintain healthy immune system functions and prevent kidney stone formation.
Urinary Health for Cats also contains taurine, which is an amino-acid necessary for the proper digestion of fats in the small intestine. Cats do not produce their own taurine, so they must injest it through their diet. Taurine is important for many functions, such as heart health and reproduction function. Taurine deficiency can lead to a lack of fertility and also complications and abnormalities in kittens. It is also important for eye health, as a deficiency of it causes degeneration of the retina, and ultimately blindness. Taurine is also necessary for immune responses, nervous system functionality, and protection of respiratory tissue.

The one our cats crave
We have tried so many supplements - pastes gels - you name it. This is the ONLY one our cats will eat. Not only do they eat it - but they crave it. We have to hide the bottle so the do not get into it. Bravo for this product!
Not sure
My cat Loxy had a couple of UTIs in the past. I hear about this product as a good thing to use to pre-emptively to stop another UTI coming on. Loxy LOVED this product and I gave it to him every day BUT he still got a UTI. So now I don;t know what to think, I am not sure if this works or not.
Happy with this product - works great
My cat Sophie has had a few bladder infections. Every time I took her to the vet they gave her antibiotics, which made her hair fall out, even though it did take care of the infections. This time, when I noticed the symptoms, I decided to try something else, so I looked up more natural remedies. This supplement all of the main natural remedies I found, all in one pill. I started giving it to her, and the symptoms went away. I was a little nervous though, so I took her to the vet to check, and the ph of her urine was fine. I will be using this from now on. I'm so happy to find something easier on her system that doesn't make her hair fall out.

Dual Monitor Display Problem - WinXP
Hey All,
I have recently put together a dual monitro setup for my desktop computer. Both monitors are identical 22 inchers. I am running Windows XP pro and I believe the graphics card is an ATI Radeon 4650 or an ATI Radeon 6450..
I have one monitor hooked up by DVI, and one monitor hooked up by VGA. Both are hooked up to the one single video card. I've been through the XP troubleshooting, I have the "extend my desktop blah" box checked under my display properties, and I'm pretty positive the screen scaling is set to "stretch" because thats what I've always had it at.
The problem... the monitor hooked up by VGA displays everything and allows me to change the resolution with no problems, but the picture/screen doesn't fit to the top/left corner of the monitor. It is like the screen is pushed down from the top by about 1/2 inch or so, and it is just a black space running horizontally on top of what the screen is displaying. So when I put a full screen web browser on the second monitor, the top sets against the black space and the bottom of the browser is extended past the bottom of my monitor screen space to where I can't see..
I have moved the monitor's "Vertical Position" by adjusting the settings on the actual monitor. Still didn't work. Got it close, but it is still cutting off my image at the bottom of the monitor. When I "auto-align" the monitor, it is pushed back down to make the black space appear at the 1/2 inch height..
Any ideas or solutions? All help is appreciated.
Problem With Hidden Windows.....? - WinXP
I didn't know how to title this, but I hope I can explain what's screwed up.
First of all, I often use more than one monitor. Now I have a new 2nd monitor hooked up and some of my programs just are NOT visible. I believe they're in some "phantom" zone. These are the ones I had the previous 2nd monitor display. However, they do not show up new 2nd monitor and not in the main one either.
When I shut off "Extend desktop....", it works for a couple/few programs, but not all. Spybot S&D, for example, is in limbo. Some Photoshop windows.... that I used to run in the old 2nd monitor, are now completely invisible and unuseable.
Is there any setting that tells ALL windows to open in the main monitor so I can re-set them? Running completely as a single monitor and resetting it this way DOES NOT WORK for everything.
Sorry, but it's another reason I'm getting less and less impressed with MS.
Any ideas?
Unable To Turn Off Extend Desk Top On 2nd Monitor - WinXP
Configuration: Win-XP, SP3, Dell 2650 laptop, external monitor Dell 1081FP.
Objective- switch from laptop display to larger external Dell 1081FP monitor.
After connecting external monitor and using control panel/display/settings/ select monitor 2, and ensuring that the box " extend my windows desk top on to this monitor IS NOT CHECKED...then clicking on Apply and OK. Next using Fn key and F8 (switch crt/lcd) the desktop swiches to the external monitor ok. However when switching back to the lcd using Fn key and F8, the desktop does move back to the laptop lcd display but the extenal monitor automatically becomes the extension of the desktop. Using Fn key and F8 again to switch back again has no effect...nothing happens...the desktop remains on the lcd and the extended desktop stays on the external monitor. Tried may things to resolve the problem including updating the driver for the external Dell 1081FP etc.
Tried the external monitor Dell 1081FP on another dell ls400 laptop and everything works as expected.
Display Issue: Dual Monitor - WinXP
I previously had dual monitors and one of them burned out. I am trying to replace that monitor with one we had sitting around in the office not being used. I connected it and triple checked that everything is plugged in right, but the computer is not detecting it. I have gone through all the display devices to update drivers but, again, the monitor is not being detected. I have also tried to follow the steps here but in the setting tab I dont have the drop down menu to select multiple monitors. It's as if the monitor is not plugged in to the computer at all. The monitor has power and currently displays "Dell 2: Digital Input Self Test Feature Check; Red Green Blue White"
Do I have to install monitor software or something?
Thanks for the help!

Laptop Screen Kaput -- How To Use External Display? - WinXP
Compaq Presario R3000 running Windows XP SP3 and nVIDIA display controller GeForce4 440 Go 64.
The on-board LCD won't light up so I would like to use this as a desktop with an external monitor.

I cannot get it to do that, help!
Solved: Question About Single Screen Games On Dual Monitors - WinXP
I just got another one of LG's 19" LCD monitors and made myself a dual screen. All working nice and good and I'm loving the horizontal span, except for one tiny problem: single-screen games. When launching a game, I would want for the 2nd monitor to stay on desktop and not get "included" in the game. Included as in going into standby / power saving mode. Can this be bypassed? I understand it must be quite impossible to use the mouse on the 2nd monitor while in-game on the 1st monitor, but I would at least want to see the desktop and the real-time programs that are running there (virus scanners, time, IRC etc.).
When I exit the game, or alt-tab, the 2nd monitor automatically returns from power save and all is normal.
Some specs if needed:
Core2Duo E6600
LG Flatron L1953TR as 1st monitor
LG Flatron L1952TQ as 2nd

Using Tv And Lcd Monitor As Dual Monitors?? - WinXP
Using DVI I hooked up my computer and my monitor to my computer at the same time. The TV works fine, but now the computer won't recognize my monitor as a second display in Display Properties. Is there any way to display DVI and my regular monitor at the same time?
Monitor Entering Power Save Mode - WinXP
As the title says, my monitor is entering powersave mode on it's own, it can happen while playing a game or browsing the web, has happened at least 3 times in the last month and it hasn't happened in about 3 weeks and suddenly today. I changed my power adapter because I thought the old one might be faulty or old so I don't know if this will solve the problem or if it was even the cause, I have my power settings all set to never turn off monitor and such and have had for quite a while, any input would be nice as I've heard different causes to this.

Emachines Monitor Mishaps - WinXP
Hey guys,
its rajkalyan here.
I swapped monitors with my brother so I could get the DVI input.
I plugged it into my desktop while it was the running [hotswapping] and turned on the monitor.
The monitor was connected with the DVI input and will not show the desktop unless I restart.
Let me explain it.
Say you are watching a movie.
The built-in speakers seem fuzzy so you unplug and plug it back in.
The power cable has a loose contact and power is lost.
After power is returned by pulling on the cable, the output won't show unless you restart the computer.
It is a flat-panel, 21 in. Model E211H.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Solved: Dual Monitor Prob - WinXP
I have an extra monitor hooked to my laptop, with XP Pro. They have been showing identical. I recently had to reinstall XP, before that I also used the TV as a third monitor, using an S cable (showing no icons), it showed as the second monitor, and both the laptop and the second monitor showed as the first monitor. (watching movies on #2, and playing games and surfing the net on the #1, with the laptop also #1 over on my desk). After reinstalling XP, I could not get the third monitor back. I was looking at my "Display Properties", and wondered what "Extend my Windows desktop into this monitor" would do. All icons disappeared on my now #2 monitor. So I unchecked that option and applied. I got a black screen. It will go back to no icons, but not back to the same as the main screen. I tried restoring to a few days ago, It did nothing. Restore even said "no changes were made". I would love to have all 3 back, but would like to at least get both of the actual screens showing icons.
Keep Losing Dual Monitor Settings, Dell M6500 Precision Laptop - WinXP
I have a Dell M6500 precision laptop that has 1 DELL monitor hooked up to it so that it is in a dual monitor configuration with the laptop.
Everytime I undock or reboot or power down the laptop or take the laptop out of the docking station, the laptop would always forget it's dual monitor settings and clone my other monitor rather than keep the "extend the desktop" settings. After I check I can confirm that the laptop always unchecks the Extend my monitor unto this laptop checkbox automatically.
The laptop also seems to reverse and move my icons around the screen and I would have to manually move them all back again. This is frustrating to have to keep doing this and moving my icons back to their original location as well as redo the dual monitor settings again every morning.
I read that a lot of people think it can be a drive problem but I did download the latest drivers from DELL's site and tried both the ISV and the latest driver version to no avail for the nvidia driver.
I also tried reinstalling the drivers but that did not help. Does anyone know how I can make the dual monitor settings stick permanently? Again, I am using a Dell Precision M6500 laptop with docking station and 1 standard DELL flat screen monitor in a dual monitor configuration. Does someone have a more recent driver perhaps or is there some setting that can fix this?
Help With "extend My Windows Desktop Onto This Monitor" - WinXP
Hey, so I have been using two monitors for quite a while now with no problems. I recently reformatted my computer and straight away, I had no support for my second monitor. I have an Nvidia GeForce FX 5500 as my primary display and the onboard graphics card that I hope to use with my secondary monitor. Like I said, up until after the reformat, everything was working fine. It says I have to latest driver for the onboard card. It also looks like a screen saver is on the secondary monitor. I can also move windows over to it but they just don't show up. I have this picture and as you can see, the '2' monitor is 'grayed' or 'dotted' out. I don't know if that is part of the problem. I can click extend, but when I hit apply, it doesn't do anything. Any ideas?
Mirroring + Dual-monitors = Possible? - WinXP
I own a NVIDIA GTX 460 graphics card. It has 2 DVI and 1 HDMI mini outputs...I currently have my 2 monitors connected via DVI and the TV connected via HDMI mini. I know that it doesn't support three devices at the same time, for instance I can only have 2 monitors on at once, or 1 monitor and the TV at one time because it will automatically shut the third device off.
Currently I have to either use dual monitor setup or primary monitor and TV. If I buy an HDMI splitter, will it allow me to have all three devices connected and on at the same time? For instance, If i connect the Primary Monitor/TV up to the splitter (which will be directly connected to PC) and the second monitor connected as is...can I have dual independent monitors running as well as have the TV mirror the primary monitor? Will I be able to have all three devices running at once even though this gpu wont support it?
I just want my TV to mirror primary monitor and have the second monitor be independent for dual-monitor usage. So is this possible? Primary/TV mirrored and secondary monitor independent (to use for dual-monitor usage)
Grapics card: GTX 460

Obviously, I dont have access to the desktop to change it back again, so wondering what my options are....
I can see the system boot up, display the windows logo, etc, but when it should show me the windows desktop, the monitor just goes black and i see nothing.
I can boot up in safe mood, and see the desktop, but not when i boot up normally. Is there anything I can change in "safe mode" that will enable me to change things back?

Solved: Laptop/external Monitor Problem - WinXP
I have Windows XP - Dell Latitude D505
Okay so I was given a laptop with a cracked screen. My friend kindly took the screen off since it was useless. I had the laptop hooked up to an external monitor and it worked great just like a mini desktop!
However I just recently moved, and I think my computer got damaged. It no longer accepts the external monitor. I have tried two monitors that work perfectly fine so I know its not a monitor issue. Since I can no longer view anything at all by a VGA cable.. is there any other cable/monitor I can try? Any way I can press a sequence of buttons to make it work? Or do I have to take it in somewhere if I want any help whatsoever?

Dangers of Diuretic Abuse
Diuretics are drugs used to lower to amount of salt and water present in the body by increasing the amount lost as urine (also called diuresis). Because there is weight loss whenever water is passed, eating disorder sufferers may use diuretics for a "quick fix" - a short-term attempt to lose an extra pound or two. There are a number of different types of diuretic available, as shown in the table below.
Diuretic type | Action |
Thiazide diuretics | In patients they have been prescribed to, thiazide diuretics are suitable for long-term use and cause moderate diuresis. |
Loop diuretics | These are powerful, fast-acting drugs, particularly when given by injection. They are called "loop" diuretics because they act on the region of the kidneys called Henle's loop. Loop diuretics are sometimes given as an emergency treatment for heart failure. |
Potassium-sparing diuretics | Often used with thiazide and loop diuretics, both of which may cause potassium deficiency. |
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors | Effective only for short periods, these diuretics work by blocking the action of carbonic anhydrase (an enzyme that effects the amount of bicarbonate ions in the blood). They only cause moderate diuresis. |
Osmotic diuretics | Powerful drugs only given after major surgery or serious injury. |
Examples of thiazide diuretics are Bendrofluazide, Chlorothiazide, Chlorthalidone and Cyclopenthiazide. Types of loop diuretics include Burnetanide and Frusemide, whilst potassium-sparing diuretics include Amiloride, Spironolactone and Triamterene.
The dangers
Diuretics are most commonly prescribed to patients with high blood pressure, edema (water retention) or congestive heart failure. They are NOT intended to be used as a means of losing weight and can have serious side-effects including increased levels of uric acid in the blood and hypokalaemia (low levels of potassium in the blood). Hypokalaemia has mild symptoms such as dizziness, headaches and muscle weakness. However, severe hypokalaemia can lead to an irregular heartbeat and muscle paralysis. Laxative abuse can also lead to hypokalaemia.

Let's go outside
So you want a nice garden but think a magnolia is a paint colour and a weed is an illegal substance. Fear not, there's hope for you…
Everyone wants a beautiful outdoor space to enjoy once the sun is shining, but for many people, the thought of tackling their overgrown, unfriendly looking garden can fill them with dread.
But if you take each job a step at a time, you'll soon be the proud owner of what can be seen as an extension to your living space. So, where do you start? Firstly, you need to sit down and work out what you like about your garden and what you dislike, so you can decide which bits to keep and which bits to change and adapt. Next, think about what you want your garden to end up like and what you intend to use it for. For example, if you want it for the kids, there may not be much point in filling it with pretty flowers and shrubs. Perhaps keep these to one side and leave a large space that you can then design for the children. Also, consider whereabouts in the garden you get most of the sunshine as this will help you to plan the different areas. Once you have mapped out in your head which areas to focus on, it's time to tidy up the areas you want to keep.
This is obviously one of the main things that can make a garden look unkempt and untidy. However, it really is simple to uplift your outside space by just getting rid of these nuisance plants. You can pull out as many as you can using a small hand fork and your hands (wearing garden gloves of course), and for any that are difficult or too time-consuming to take care of by hand, you can get a spray-on weedkiller that will do the job for you. Next, uncover any paths or stepping stones that may have become hidden before cutting and trimming back overgrown hedges, rose bushes and shrubs. Obviously, if you haven't done this already, mowing the lawn and trimming the edges using a lawn trimmer will make the garden look instantly tidy. Celebrity gardener Charlie Dimmock says: 'Weeding is no sweat if you don't wait till the weeds have grown so big you need to take a fork or a trowel to them, instead of whizzing through quickly with the hoe. 'Weed regularly and then sit back and enjoy your summer garden.'
Put the pressure on
Wash down any outside window sills and give them a coat of paint if necessary before getting your hands on a pressure washer to blitz dirt away from slabs, tiles or concrete. You'll be amazed at the difference this makes.
Plan and prepare for planting
Many people know nothing about plants and flowers, but still manage to keep a pretty garden. The secret? Choose, easy-to-grow varieties that are simple to maintain. However, before you start, everyone's favourite gardener Alan Titchmarsh, says it is also crucial that you understand the conditions in your garden. 'Before you can grow anything, you need to know what sort of conditions you have. Then you can choose plants that are suited to them. Don't waste money on plants that will hate your environment. Find out what sort of soil you have, how much light there is and what the prevailing weather conditions are.'
- Hostas These little gems need a little sunlight but don't mind the shade either. They will grow anywhere and are very low-maintenance.
- Aloe If you're not one for watering plants often and want just more than flowers, choose aloe. It likes outdoor sunshine but will also thrive indoors.
- Camellias These colourful plants will serve you well for several years if shown just a little bit of care. Just be sure to plant them where they won't be exposed to the scorching sun for too long as that will damage them.
- Geraniums There's no wonder why geraniums are one of the most popular flowers around. They are slug resistant and low maintenance.
The top six summer garden tools
Make light work of gardening by choosing and using the right tools for the task. Here's our guide to the essentials, and what you might need them for…
Whether you have a few pots or an acre of land, caring for your garden requires the correct tools. For small gardens, the basics – a fork, spade, trowel, hoe, secateurs and watering can – may suffice, while for larger gardens, you'll need to add shears, pruners, a rake, hosepipe and a wheelbarrow to the list. And, if you have a lawn, a lawnmower.
1 Forks and spades
Hand forks are very useful in confined areas and are ideal for lifting small plants and loosening soil when weeding. A standard fork, with a long neck, allows you to use your foot on the top of the metal prongs for better leverage and deeper digging when lifting larger plants from below their roots. Hand forks from £5 to £10; standard forks from £7 to £40.
2 Trowels
A wide-bladed trowel is good for digging holes for small plants or bulbs. Narrow-bladed trowels are good for very confined areas, such as a rock garden. From £5 to £10.
3 Hoes
Ideal for weeding and aerating the soil. There are several varieties but the traditional Dutch hoe is perfect for weeding between plants. It removes surface weeds while leaving plant roots untouched. The Dutch hoe should be pushed back and forth across the soil's surface, with the blade parallel to the ground. The handle of the hoe should be long enough that you can remain almost upright when using it, therefore reducing back strain. From £5 to £30.
4 Rakes
There are two types of rake: garden rakes which are used for levelling and breaking up soil before you do any planting and lawn rakes, which are used to remove dead leaves from the grass and to scarify the lawn. Garden rakes have strong, metal heads with short, wide, rounded teeth, ideal for soil preparation and general garden tidying. Lawn rakes have light heads, so as not to damage young grass shoots, with flexible tines made from plastic, metal or wire, and all ideal for gathering up leaves, moss and other garden debris. From around £6 to £28.
5 Shears
Useful for clipping and shaping bushes and hedges and good for cutting thick shoots, as one blade tends to have a notch to hold the shoot in place.
From £5 to £35.
6 Hoses and watering cans
If you have a small garden, you'll probably find a can sufficient for watering while in larger gardens a hose will make the job easier and less time-consuming. Plastic watering cans are lighter than metal ones, and just as hardwearing. If you have a greenhouse, invest in a greenhouse watering can which has a long spout, designed to reach right to the back of the benches. A hose reel with a handle or wheel makes the hose easier to move around. Make sure the hose is long enough to reach all parts of your garden. If you have a large number of plants, try a hose end attachment with a trigger-action nozzle to give either a jet or a spray. Hose from £15 to £90; watering can from £2 to £15.
Tone it up outdoors
Make the neighbours go green by adding colour to your garden
Rich, vibrant hues in your outside space will not only give it a personal personal stamp, different colours are able to give your garden different moods. They can also make the actual space seem bigger or smaller than it is. The good news is that you don't need to be an expert gardener – it's very easy if you know how…
Create the mood
- Green and brown are the colours of nature so create a great backdrop.
- As a delicate colour, pink will add a feminine touch to your garden. Pink roses are the obvious choice and teamed up alongside silvery-grey plants, they look even prettier.
- If the garden is where you retreat to for peace and quiet, add blue plants or paint a garden building, such as a shed, blue. Too much though, and it may get too cold…
- For drama, and to make lighter colours stand out, use black. Use sparingly though, or you could create a depressing atmosphere.
- If you want the outdoors to laugh with you, add yellow using bright, sunny flowers such as sunflowers.
Gardening on a budget
It's all well and good being excited about giving your garden a makeover and rushing off to DIY stores to buy the latest plants, paints, slabs and garden tools, but if you're not careful and you don't plan well, it could turn out to cost quite a bit of money too. If you set out with a budget in mind, it's easier to decide on what you really need. After all, a lush summer garden needs more love and care than wads of cash thrown at it. Follow our fool-proof tips…
- Don't buy what you don't need Things always look like good buys when you're in a garden centre, especially items that are on sale. But if you really, really don't need the wind chimes and family of gnomes, look away!
- Shop around The same item can vary wildly in price, so shop around on the internet and try to buy an item that you need when it is on sale. When shopping online, also bear in mind shipping costs. If you can pick the product up from your local store, save yourself some pounds on delivery charge.
- Don't pay for compost if you can help it Many councils have schemes that offer compost free to residents so see if you can get some without having to pay. It'll save you a small fortune over the summer period, but it's usually on a first-come, first-served basis.
- Try and get second-hand tools Check your local newspaper's classified ads to see if you can get used tools at bargain bucket prices. Or, you could use a hire shop, say for hiring a pressure washer for the day if you don't want to buy one.

Denver's five best Vietnamese restaurants
Denver has an abundance of Vietnamese restaurants, all devoted to a culinary canon that marries French and Chinese cooking into dishes that are delicious whether you're eating noodles on the street or chowing down at a formal feast. Mark Manger The goods at Pho 95, one of the best Vietnamese restaurants in Denver.
Dozens of pho shops dot Federal Boulevard and South Havana Street, and more expansive restaurants offer a good selection of specialties from this Southeast Asian country. Here, in no particular order, are the five best Vietnamese restaurants in the Denver area.
Pho Duy, 945 South Federal BoulevardMark Manger
The Denver area has dozens and dozens of pho shops, most of which serve up decent bowls of noodle soup. But only a few really stand out, and the one that rises to the top is Pho Duy, which is located in a strip mall on Federal Boulevard. The menu is as spare as the decor. Save for a few specialties and spring rolls, there's not much offered beyond pho -- but the kitchen doesn't need to make anything else to pull in crowds. Its intensely layered broth, which tastes like it comes from a very well-seasoned pot, supports nests of springy noodles, thin slices of beef, brisket or offal, and all the fresh herbal produce you can stand. Ribbon it with sriracha or ask for a little of the restaurant's homemade hot sauce for a punch of heat.
Pho 95, 1002 South Federal BoulevardMark Manger
Pho 95 is another contender for the best pho-maker in town. We're suckers for the brimming bowls of rich beef broth filled with tendon, tripe or rare steak and noodles, sided by heaps of bean sprouts, cilantro and saw-leaf herb. But we also love almost everything else on Pho 95's menu, including bun (noodle bowls), spring rolls, egg rolls and a plate of thin pork chops, coated in a sweet-savory marinade and grilled crispy.
Ba Le Sandwich, 1044 South Federal Boulevard
There are a few places to get great banh mi sandwiches in town, but our favorite is Ba Le, a tiny shop that turns out the city's best version, packing crisp-crusted baguettes with pate, pickled carrots, jalapeños and cilantro, among other fillings. You'll have to take your sandwich to go -- or perch on the planter outside to eat it -- but at less than $5 each, this is lunch on the cheap.

I have been trying to find a low sodium bbq sauce but have been unsuccessful finding any in the local stores, so I decided to create my own. This recipe is my own take on a recipe from recipezarr.com - you could use splenda brown sugar and whatever spices you like (will alter nutritional information). I will continue to play with this recipe, it was very good (sweet with a little tang) and has a lot of potential to be even better.

Apr 7, 2014 7:20 PM by ASSOCIATED PRESS
FRESNO, Calif. (AP) - A male Malayan tiger that sired four cubs born in January at a Northern California zoo has died.
Fresno Chaffee Zoo spokeswoman Lisa Condoian says the tiger, named Paka, was euthanized Saturday at the age of 17 after his health had sharply declined over the last several weeks.
Condoian says the life span of a Malayan tiger is about 16 to 20 years, so Paka was considered an older tiger.
A preliminary necropsy - or animal autopsy - is being performed to determine the exact cause of the tiger's health problems, but results won't be ready for several weeks.
The Malayan tiger is a subspecies that lives Southeast Asia and has been classified as endangered since 2008. Experts believe there are only about 500 of the tigers left.

Licensing opportunity
Biological control of mosquitoes portfolio
Description of invention:
Mosquito-borne diseases affect millions of people worldwide each year. Some mosquitoes can transmit diseases such as encephalitis, dengue fever, and malaria to humans. To combat mosquitoes and the potential public health hazards they present, mosquito control agencies around the world spend hundreds of millions of dollars annually.
Unfortunately, some mosquito control substances have proven toxic and destructive to the environment. Pesticide use raises concern about contamination of ground and surface water, as well as health hazards to people and the environment. After the use of pesticides, the immediate number of mosquitoes may drop, but later increases because the predators have also been poisoned, have starved from lack of prey, or have moved on to hunt somewhere else.
In an effort to develop more environmentally responsible methods of mosquito control, numerous scientific teams have been evaluating microbiological control strategies involving mainly Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) subspecies israelensis (Bti) or Bacillus sphaericus (Bs). Researchers at the Institut Pasteur have developed a number of Bacillus-based products useful for mosquito larvae. Included in this commercially interesting portfolio are the patents highlighted below:
Key Institut Pasteur Patents
1. US 5,736,513 (filed November 10, 1993 - issued April 7, 1998) and US 6,071,878 (filed December 12, 1997 - issued June 6, 2000) : Non- hemolytic mosquitocidal microorganisms.
Inventors: Armelle DELECLUSE et al.
The patent relates to new compositions useful for killing mosquito larvae. A composition comprising purified mosquitocidal crystals produced by Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti), where the crystals are devoid of the 28 kiloDalton(kD) hemolytic protein, have mosquitocidal activity, lack hemolytic activity and contain 68, 125 and 135 kD proteins having hemolytic activity, is claimed.
A key advantage of the invention is that the crystals lack non-specific cytolytic activity while still retaining high mosquitocidal activity. By killing mosquitoes and inhibiting the development of their larvae, these polypeptides are useful as biological control against mosquitoes.
2. WO 9606171 (Priority application FR 9410299 filed Aug 25, 1994) - US 6,071,877 (filed May 13, 1997 - issued June 6, 2000) : Polypeptides having a toxic activity against insects of the dipterae family.
Inventors: Armelle DELECLUSE et al.
Pursuing their objective of neutralizing the possible appearance of insects resistant to Bacillus sphaericus and Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) toxins, the inventors have continued the search for novel strains exhibiting an activity against mosquitoes. In the present invention, the researchers identified one Bt strain, Bacillus thuringiensis jegathesan 367 as presenting a novel pattern of larvicidal activity and a protein profile different from those of other strains.
The patent relates to new B. thuringiensis jegathesan insecticidal proteins and related DNA, with high activity against dipteran larvae, including mosquito larvae of the species Aedes aegypti, Anopheles stephensi, and Culex pipiens. A key advantage of the larvicidal protein, designated jeg80 (Cry11Ba), is that it is 6-40 times more toxic against mosquitoes (depending on the species of mosquito tested) than the closely related CryIVD toxin of Bacillus thuringiensis. This difference of activity might reflect different modes of action of the two toxins.
This difference might be exploited in the development of new insecticides as the Cry11Ba protein is the most mosquitocidal component ever found.
Potential advantages:
Harmless to non target organisms and the environment.
Alternative to toxins used in current control thereby addressing risk of mosquito resistance against Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) and Bacillus sphaericus (Bs) toxins.
Greater potency against target organisms than toxins currently on the market currently mark toxins.
Cry11Ba protein is the most mosquitocidal component ever found.

Laced with punk and urban pop, Ceekay Jones' music tells of the underbelly of the music scene: sex, drugs, rock 'n roll, money and relationships, not necessarily in that order. The artist is a product of musical twists and turns, having taken his fans on trips with powerful vocals and raps from hardcore to melodic, to music for the masses. No matter what he's belting, when Ceekay's on stage, the energy's at maximum level and the audience is captivated.
Ceekay's desire to explore began when he was a young child growing up with pro athlete parents and two brothers who lived by the mantra, "No Boundaries." Born Matthew Kirk in Springville, New York, Ceekay was racing motocross at the age of five. At ten, his family moved to Taos New Mexico where his parents, looking for a change, opened a youth hostel. Taos provided a predominantly Hispanic and Native American melting pot. Jones was a minority in his neighborhood, exposing him to gangs and cliques, giving him an understanding of what it's like to struggle in a less than forgiving society.
Ceekay stayed busy with sports, finding passion in ski racing. He was a member of the US Jr. Olympic team when a friend gave him an early-model snowboard. Snowboarding was for outcasts and misfits, not allowed on the mountains of Taos at the time. He found ways to practice by hiking up mountains and sneaking runs or hitting the Colorado peaks, when possible.
After Ceekay graduated high school he moved to Steamboat, Colorado to pursue a career in snowboarding. He was soon noticed and sponsored by companies like Bonfire, Soloman and Arnette. He competed with and beat the likes of Danny Kass, Keir Dillon and Ross Powers. Eventually, snowboarding was admitted as an Olympic sport. While training for a shot at the Olympics in Japan, Ceekay – then still a teenager – blew out both knees.
While recuperating, Ceekay turned to music. Having been influenced by older brother, guitarist and composer Jacob Kirk, Ceekay began showing up to his good friend Norman Cutliff's band practices. Often – out of impulse – he would grab the mic, wailing lyrics and freestyle rapping. This fit Ceekay all too well.
One day he received a call from Norman when the band's lead singer didn't show for a gig. That's when he became the band's official lead singer. After much regional success, it was time to take the band – they called Tabularasa – to California to test its power.
For two years, four friends lived in a '78 Chevy van with one cell phone between them. They returned to New Mexico for a tour where they met up with a fan who'd inherited some money and wanted to help by buying them a 31 foot RV. This would be "home" for the next 3 1/2 years. They toured the SoCal beaches, playing what they called "infiltration shows," where they'd pump up crowds with their songs until the police came to shut them down.
In six weeks of doing these shows, the band managed to sell 2,000 CD's. Soon after, they landed a gig at 2005's Vans Warped Tour. It was there that Danny Boy of House of Pain spotted Ceekay and invited him to hang. Ceekay'd always been a fan of House of Pain and the Punk/Underground Hip Hop sound, so this was a welcomed opportunity.
At the same time, Tabularasa's members began to settle into relationships and slow down. Ceekay started recording solo with his brother, Nigel Starr and coincidentally ran into Danny Boy at Starr's studio. Seemingly meant to be, Ceekay began working with La Coka Nostra, the band created by Danny Boy as a resurrection of House of Pain.
He also performed as a member of Stereo Chemix with Limp Bizkit's John Otto and old friend Norman Cutliff, but the band broke up with the reuniting of Bizkit.
Ceekay's continued work with La Coka Nostra led him to other collaborations that included well-known New York Hardcore acts with whom he began touring the world, playing for audiences of 10,000+.
Now solo, Ceekay Jones distills all the extreme ranges and styles he's explored over the years into a powerful new sound. Currently, he's in the studio recording with Nigel Starr (KRS One/Mad Lion, Ray J, 3rd Storee) and collaborating with the likes of Tim Armstrong (Rancid, AFI, Pink).
His fist-pumping battle cry, "Bad Attitude," backed by heavy drum beats, guitar rock and techno, tells tales about surviving LA's underground.
Other singles like the taunting track, "No Good," and breakup song, "Keep Crying," appeal to the mainstream because, like Jones says, "everybody's been through this stuff at least once."
His yet-to-be named album is set for release in 2011. For now, you can find the singles on CeekayJones.com and be on the lookout for Ceekay Jones, burning down a stage near you.
No shows booked at the moment.
