Interferon (Intron A)
This page tells you about the biological therapy interferon alpha and its possible side effects. There are sections about
Interferon alpha is a man made copy of a substance that some types of white blood cell make naturally in the body. The blood cells make interferon as part of the immune response when the body reacts to infection or to cancer.
Interferon works in several ways. It interferes with cancer cells and stops them growing and multiplying. And it stimulates the immune system by encouraging killer T cells and other cells to attack cancer cells. It also encourages cancer cells to send out chemicals that attract immune system cells to them.
Interferon is used to treat several different types of cancer, particularly kidney cancer (renal cell cancer), malignant melanoma, multiple myeloma and some types of leukaemia. It is also used to treat diseases other than cancer.
Interferon is given into the bloodstream or by injection. It is most often given by injection just under the skin (subcutaneously) into the abdomen (tummy) or thigh. How often you have it depends on which cancer you have. It can be given daily, although it is most often given 3 times a week. If you are having interferon for some weeks or months, you can be taught to give the injection yourself at home. Or a family member can learn how to do it. You should keep your interferon in the fridge.
You should tell your doctor if you have
- Shingles or exposure to someone with chickenpox (interferon treatment may make this flare up)
- Heart disease
The side effects associated with interferon alpha are listed below. You can use the links (underlined) to find out more about each side effect. Where there is no link, the information in the cancer drugs side effects section may be helpful. Or you can click on search at the top of the page.
More than 10 in every 100 people have one or more of the side effects listed below.
A temporary drop in the number of blood cells made by the bone marrow. This can cause
- An increased risk of getting an infection from a drop in white blood cells – it is harder to fight infections and you can become very ill. You may have headaches, aching muscles, a cough, sore throat, pain passing urine or feel cold and shivery
- Tiredness and breathlessness due to a drop in red blood cells (anaemia) – you may need a blood transfusion
- Bruising more easily due to a drop in platelets – you may have nosebleeds, bleeding gums after brushing your teeth, or lots of tiny red spots or bruises on your arms or legs (known as petechia)
Some of these side effects can be life threatening, particularly infections. You should contact your doctor if you have any of these side effects. Your doctor will check your blood counts regularly to see how well your bone marrow is working.
Other common side effects include
- Tiredness (fatigue) during and after treatment – most people find that their energy levels are back to normal from 6 months to a year after their treatment ends
- Flu like symptoms, including fever, chills, a headache, aching muscles and joints – nearly everyone taking interferon has this side effect at first. It usually gets better as your course of treatment continues. These symptoms usually begin 2 to 4 hours after your injection and last for about 12 hours. Take paracetamol before your injection and every 4 to 6 hours afterwards for as long as you need to. But don't take more than 8 tablets in 24 hours. You can try having your injection and paracetamol before you go to bed to see if that helps
- Feeling or being sick – this happens to about half the people treated. Your doctor or nurse will give you anti sickness medicines (anti emetics). Let them know if it is not controlled as you could try other anti sickness drugs
- Diarrhoea – you should drink plenty of fluids. If diarrhoea is severe or continues you could get dehydrated, so tell your doctor or nurse
- Loss of appetite – this may increase as your course of treatment goes on
- Taste changes or a metallic taste in your mouth
- Depression or emotional changes such as anxiety
- Difficulty sleeping
- A sore throat and pain on swallowing
- Weight loss
- Itchy, dry skin or rashes
- Sudden muscle or joint pain – let your doctor or nurse know if you have this
Between 1 and 10 in every 100 people have one or more of these.
- Itching at the injection site
- Hair thinning – this is more likely to happen with long courses or high doses of interferon
- Depression, confusion or extreme sleepiness – this is more common in older patients or people who have had depression before. Tell your doctor if you have these symptoms
- Liver changes that are very mild and unlikely to cause symptoms – the liver will almost certainly go back to normal when treatment is finished, but you will have regular blood tests to check how well your liver is working
- Damage to heart muscle, which is usually temporary but for a small number of people may be permanent – your doctor will check your heart before and after your treatment
- Loss of fertility – you may not be able to get pregnant or father a child after treatment with this drug. It is important to talk to your doctor about your fertility before starting treatment.
- Women may stop having periods (amenorrhoea) – this may only be temporary
- An allergic reaction to the drug – let your doctor or nurse know immediately if you have swelling of the hands, feet, ankles, face, lips, mouth, or throat or any difficulty in swallowing or breathing
- Feeling thirsty and a dry mouth – drink plenty of fluids and brush your teeth at least twice a day to prevent dental problems
- High blood pressure
- Worsening of migraines
- Low sex drive
- Indigestion (heartburn)
- Constipation
Fewer than 1 in 100 people have these effects.
- Eye inflammation (conjunctivitis)
- Sleepwalking
- Sweating
- Fine shaking movements
The side effects above may be mild or more severe. A side effect may get better or worse through your course of treatment, or more side effects may develop as the course goes on. This depends on
- How many times you've had the drug before
- Your general health
- The amount of the drug you have (the dose)
- Other drugs you are having
Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse about all your side effects so that they can help you manage them. They can give you advice or reassure you. Your nurse will give you a contact number to ring if you have any questions or problems. If in doubt, call them.
Tell your doctor about any other medicines you are taking, including vitamins, herbal supplements and over the counter remedies – some drugs can react together.
Interferon may have a harmful effect on a baby developing in the womb. It is not advisable to become pregnant or father a child while taking this drug. Discuss contraception with your doctor or nurse before having the treatment.
Breastfeeding is not advisable during this treatment because the drug may come through in the breast milk.
You should not have immunisations with live vaccines while you are having treatment or for at least 6 months afterwards. In the UK, these include rubella, mumps, measles (usually given together as MMR), BCG, yellow fever and Zostavax (shingles vaccine).
You can have other vaccines, but they may not give you as much protection as usual until your immune system has fully recovered from your treatment. It is safe to have the flu vaccine.
It is safe for you to be in contact with other people who've had live vaccines as injections. There can be problems with vaccines you take by mouth (oral vaccines), but not many people in the UK have these now. So there is usually no problem in being with any baby or child who has recently had any vaccination in the UK. You might need to make sure that you aren't in contact with anyone who has had oral polio, cholera or typhoid vaccination recently, particularly if you live abroad.
This information does not list all the very rare side effects of interferon alfa that are very unlikely to affect you. For further information look at the Electronic Medicines Compendium website at www.medicines.org.uk.
If you have a side effect not mentioned here that you think may be due to this treatment you can report it to the Medicines Health and Regulatory Authority (MHRA) at www.mhra.gov.uk.

I am doing some remodeling, so looking to replace some windows in 2 bedrooms. There are currently old casements that measure 50 1/8 x 43 1/2. these are 2 casements mulled together.
I would rather do double hung windows. I don't care much for casements. One bedroom is aprox 11 x 13. The only wall I can put windows on is one of the 13 foot walls, south side. Changing the window opening isn't that big of a deal to me. The other bedroom is aprox. 13 x 12, but I can have windows on a 13 foot wall, the west side, and a 12 foot wall, the north side. There is currently no window in the north wall. The rooms seem dark, like the casements are to small, so I am looking for recommendations on good bedroom window sizes. I would prefer a size that is normally kept in stock, so I don't' have to wait for it to be special ordered. Thanks, Michael |

Cal Poly students sang holiday songs on Sunday, but they didn't use any instruments.
Cal Poly's a cappela group, Take it SLO, performed in its annual holiday concert.
The 15-member group arranged all of the songs using only their voices.
"You always carry your instrument around with you, so you have to take care of it," Take it SLO President Spencer Johnson said.
The ensemble recently released a holiday playlist called "Let it SLO". They also plan to record a new album. That should be released next spring.

Where the Reagan revolution should go from here
RONALD REAGAN has won half the battle: He has changed the way Washington talks. The other half - changing the way Washington works - will have to wait for another president, and another time. Don't conclude, however, that the Reagan revolution is over. Just as it took a hardball politician named Lyndon Johnson to bring Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal to full flower, it will take another conservative president, and perhaps several decades, to put into practice the lessons Mr. Reagan has preached.
The failure of the Reagan administration to accomplish even more should not obscure some remarkable achievements: the longest economic expansion in history, with unemployment at its lowest in more than 14 years; major steps to deregulate the private sector and decentralize government power away from Washington to states and localities; changing geopolitical strategy from mere containment of totalitarian expansion to putting democratic capitalism on the offensive; and laying the foundation, through the Strategic Defense Initiative, for greatly diminishing the arms race and the threat of nuclear annihilation.
The most important accomplishment of all, however, has been the very thing some have denigrated: overseeing a successful ideological revolution. The terms of the debate have been changed. Even liberals now talk about standards in school; jobs, rather than welfare; a strong defense; reasserting America's role as a world leader; and fiscal responsibility.
The Democratic candidate, of course, says the presidential campaign is not about ideology, but competence. Surely the more important question is what an administration should try to be competent at. Focusing too much on the means of transportation without being clear enough on where you want to go can easily lead to buying a Rolls-Royce and driving it off a cliff.
Though we're not there yet, Reagan has clarified where we should go to the satisfaction not only of most conservatives but of many non-conservatives: We should go toward less government, more individual liberty, a stronger private sector, and peace through strength.
Conservatives still have the ideological initiative they seized in the late '70s. From being mere nay-sayers at liberal excesses or, worse, offering themselves as better managers of the liberal welfare state, conservatives have become yea-sayers for their own ideas.

I got it with a gift set. It really seperate my lashes and lengthes it but it doesn't keep a curl or curls or volumize my lashes anyways its good mascara for natural lashes if your looking for a dramatic lashes dont bother trying this mascara.
This is my HG mascara. It never clumps, and separates and lengthens my lashes beautifully. I don't understand some of the negative reviews for lash 360, as I can't fault it, after trying many, many other mascaras. If you want naturally long looking lashes (not horrible, spidery looking things), this is for you, as it looks beautiful after just one coat but refuses to clump if you want to add more coats for added drama! It's just perfect.
I've given this a 4 but it's a 4 ONLY on the proviso that you want a natural effect because if you don't then don't bother with this. I was generally under the impression that no.7 mascaras were rubbish and I only ever tried this because I got it free as part of a gift.
The wand is weird, it's got strange gaps in it but oddly it works really well. The things I like about this mascara
1. It gives a beautiful natural definition
2. No clumps
3. No smudging or running
4. It makes lashes feel feather soft rather than stiff.
5. Boots regularly does vouchers for £5 off no.7 so you could get this dirt cheap.
I think for a nice work look this mascara would be great, it doesn't feel heavy or anything but I don't really notice a ton of volume or a ton of length so whatever claims it makes... ummm, not really. As a point of reference this mascara is rated well on the cosmetic cop website too.
I would say try this in place of clinique naturally glossy!
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
First I will say that if you're looking for a lot of volume or trying to look glamorous this is not the mascara you want to use. It doesn't really add a lot of volume or length, but I really like it on days when I'm dressing casual or hanging around the house. I love it because it doesn't clump at all and does a great job separating your lashes. It's also a good mascara for lower lashes. I often put on one or two coats of this mascara to define and separate my lashes, then put a volumizing mascara over it.
More reviews by therealficolley
This is my regular go to mascara. Good colour (brown/black) volume and definition. Definately worth buying when Boots do their regular £5 off promotion in the UK. My beef is about how expensive No7 mascaras have become over recent times. Lash 360 used to be the most expensive however their latest, Exquisite Curl , retails in the UK for £13 (that's just over $20 at today's exchange rate to our American sisters) Too much for what is, after all, a drugstore mascara. If I was in the market to spend that much on a mascara I'd prefer to shell out the extra £2 and buy Clinique.
Arrrrrrrgh. I cannot believe it. They have discontinued this, th best mascara in their range by a mile. what were you thinking Boots?
More reviews by DuchessofGrapes
A really good daily mascara. I prefer a more natural look on days when I'm not working, and the brownish black is a really great alternative my other, more expensive, favorites. I'm not saying that it does anything special (hence the one markdown), but it does exactly what I want it to do. I also really like the price point. I make sure that I replace my mascara's every 3 months and others like my Tarte, Dior, and Buxom mascaras are very difficult to keep up with being around $20 each. So I always keep a bit of this around in brownish black and black since the price is much more attainable for me on a regular basis. Dramatic, no. Natural, yes. It may not work for everyone, but for me, this is the perfect daily mascara to emphasize (without overstating) my eyes.
Not great, weird wand with gaps in the bristles...didn't do anything for my lashes...just very plain, too plain!
This is my HG mascara, I have it in black and in brown/black. When I build it up people think I'm wearing false lashes and when I leave it 1 coat it still helps my lashes stand out. It has never really clumped much on me, I scrape excess product off before I apply it and wiggle the wand at the base of my lashes for volume. I love it so much that last time I saw it somewhere for a little cheaper than usual I bought 3 tubes
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
hmm i wasnt convinced with this mascara, i just didnt think it really did anything!i wasnt impressed and i always find the mascara wands by no7 to be a little rough
I got this as a free sample after buying the nail vanish so thought id give it i go. Im very fussy with mascara and never found one that i really like... until I tried this. My main aims are separation, volume and NO CLUMPS!!! I was so impressed with this. It does need 2-3 coats to get the full effect but separates my lashes perfectly, makes my lashes look full and thick and very importantly doesn't clump - even with 2-3 coats! I've tried loads of mascara's including MAC dazzle lash and CD Blackout and this is the best so far. I use just the one coat for everyday to work etc and use 3 coats when im going out to get a much fuller effect. Cheap 2!!. Was surprised at the bad reviews but it definitely works for me.

I have been sleeping on a Tempurpedic foam mattress for over a year now. I am a stomach and side sleeper and my shoulders hurt very bad. What should I look for in a new mattress and do you have recommendation. I have eliminated all other possible causes for this pain.
Hi David,
Memory foam loses it's resiliency rather quickly. After a year, it compresses so much now, that your shoulder is hitting the firmer poly foam underneath.
Memory foam, in general, is one of those things that you need to avoid if you're looking for comfort that will last. That was a lot of money to pay for only one year of use.
Did you try initiating a warranty claim?
Specific recommendations are based one specific information about you. However, if you start with a Stearns $ Foster Blisswood, http://www.themattressexpert.com/Stearns-and-Foster/
and add to that a 2" soft latex topper, http://www.themattressexpert.com/Toppers-Comforters/
You'll be surprised at how very comfortable and supportive that combination is. You'll also be surprised at how long that combination will remain comfortable.
Latex is infinately better than memory foam for both, comfort and resiliency.

MISSOULA — The Missoula Democratic Central Committee adopted a resolution this month calling on the Missoula County attorney and Board of County Commissioners to "realign their financial resources to create meaningful improvements in addressing sexual assault cases."
"The crime of sexual assault produces lifelong consequences, and all allegations of sexual assault need to be taken seriously by law enforcement and other institutions that have power in Missoula," reads part of the resolution.
On Thursday, Missoula County Democrats board chairman Dave Kendall said county officials are making progress in providing services for victims and bringing justice to bear on perpetrators. However, he said the legal dispute between the County Attorney's Office and the U.S. Department of Justice remains a concern.
"We think the money should be spent on helping victims and not on lawsuits," Kendall said.
Commissioners earlier approved a request for $50,000 by County Attorney Fred Van Valkenburg to spend on litigation against the DOJ. On Thursday, Van Valkenburg said it's premature to know the direction his office will take with respect to the resolution given the ongoing legal conflict, but he anticipated more discussion would take place this summer.
"I think that we'll definitely talk to the commissioners about the whole matter of prosecution of sexual assaults in the context of budget discussions that occur in June, and we also have to kind of factor in what's going on with respect to litigation with the U.S. Department of Justice," Van Valkenburg said.
The department is making changes to the way it handles sexual assaults. However, Van Valkenburg said statistics show Missoula already has done well compared to other places, and he and the National District Attorneys Association question the authority of the federal agency to interfere with a locally elected officer.
County Commission Chairwoman Jean Curtiss said the resolution will be considered public comment, and she agreed any monetary "realignments" would take place as part of the upcoming budget process. Curtiss said she does not know of budget enhancement requests in the pipeline, but she is eager to hear recommendations to make improvements for victims in a upcoming study.
"We're actually looking forward to any information that comes out of the community assessment that's going to be done regarding the needs of victims in our community," Curtiss said. "So we'll be looking at what's the best thing to do for the community as to their resolution."
A draft resolution had called on commissioners to withdraw funding for the lawsuit, but the adopted resolution shifted focus: "The … committee calls on the Missoula County Commissioners to prioritize putting its energy and financial resources towards assisting the County Attorney in ensuring adequate training and resources exist, and towards communicating any improvements or deficiencies to the public so that confidence in the County Attorney's office can be restored."
County Attorney Van Valkenburg said his office has been communicating quite a bit on the matter and would continue to do so in the next few weeks and possibly months. He pointed to a December agreement between his office and the Missoula Police Department as outlining a couple key changes in prosecuting rape cases.
First, the memorandum of understanding notes the County Attorney's Office is committed to helping police improve the experience of victims in the criminal justice system.
As such, in cases recommended for prosecution, the County Attorney's Office agrees to render a decision to the investigator within two weeks of referral.
"We've also agreed in that memorandum to have face-to-face meetings with victims and discuss with them the reasons cases are being declined for prosecution, if that's the result," Van Valkenburg said.
According to Kendall, rape myths are the next barrier the community needs to confront to successfully prosecute sexual assault. He said the Missoula County Democrats plan to take a more comprehensive look at myths as impediments.
"When juries convene, there are kind of old myths that are about rape that people bring to the jury," Kendall said. "And the only way to stop that from happening is to confront those myths publicly."

Folk Songs and Folk dances are the traditional way of amusement and entertainment of the people of Sirohi. With development of the civilization and education, in modern & sophisticated society today the folk songs and dances had now being considered as the tradition of the uncultured society. In the so called cultured society the songs and dances are performed only on the special occasions like birth of a child, marriage ceremony and these are also influenced by the films and other media. They are far away from the traditional songs which are full of melody and classical, in the sense that they are based on some ragas. Tribal and people residing in rural area are found of singing folk songs and performing the folk dances on the occasion of festivals, fair, marriages and religious occasions etc.
These folk songs and dances have variety of feeling included in them. They show affections of brother for the sister, Lover for his beloved etc. Sometimes these folk songs also express the feeling of sorrow and pains of these people. These folk songs and dances are means of expressing their feelings.
Some of the examples of the marriage folk songs are Mayra Song, Song sung for the bride/ bridegroom called songs of Bandana and song of Toran.
In which Mayra song is sung when the brother arrives to his sisters house for attending his nephews marriage and it express the feelings of the sister for her brother.
On the occasion of mayra the brother brings costly gifts for his sister, brother in law, nephews etc. Toran Song is sung when the Bride arrives to bridegrooms house with barat procession and reach to the gate of the house of the bridegroom, this may be considered to be the first step of commencing the marriage ceremony.

Paintings of Sirohi - An Independent Existence
Till three decades ago, Sirohi paintings were considered to be a sub-school of Marwar. Exact provenance was not known. Around fifties, the business of antique, including the search for paintings had started. It so happened that a burnisher brought one complete set of Ragamala from Basantgarh. Other burnishes named Nawab & Jagirdar who were already involved in the business, brought this set first to Ramgopal Vijayvergiya, a very famous contemporary painter of Bengal tradition, who use to buy paintings in bulk and in fact started this business in Jaipur. The set could not be sold to Vijayvergiya due to price they asked for. Meanwhile they got the entire set copied by some local artist of Jaipur.
The original one were acquired by Kr. Karan Singh of Nawaigarh. Earlier, these paintings were considered to be that of Basantgarh. This theory was later amended by Kr. Sangram Singh who de cleared that these belonged to Sirohi. Burnisher Bhanvarya who brought the original set from Basantgarh also brought 15 pages of Kalpasutra. The whereabouts of these leafs is not known. They could have added more to our knowledge of this kalam.
As for format, Sirohi paintings are available in mostly two sizes. One, manuscript paintings, very small in size, finding space between calligraphy or the text. Some pages are purely independent too, bearing the text on the reverse or even without text. These pages are usually rectangular and its general layout. Manuscript paintings are usually on a single page, having a little border to the left and right with folio number and their information's. Other paintings are executed on paste-board, like school of Rajasthan paintings. Paste-board or Vasali of Sirohi paintings is usually of three papers of about 8" x 10" in size. Since we do not find much of other courtly or mundane subjects, depicted in this school, our main concern will revolve around Ragamala paintings. Some drawings and pounces are available in the collection of Dr. Sohan Lal Patni of Sirohi, who had done scholarly study of Sirohi's Art & Culture, including history. These drawings reveal both the aspects i.e. folk and refine way of execution with other subjects like nakiya, war scene, goddess Sarswati, Laila Majnu and Krishna theames.
Colors of Sirohi paintings are bright and pure, Skill full used with undertones and sub-tones to enhance the glow and contrast of colors. Pure white against pure black is a Marwar idiom. Use of scarlet, red, yellow and blue with pure sheds of brown like radish brown, Turkish brown etc. and bright and subdued greens, all are managed so well that the effect gives a sober look to the paintings and viewers will feel astonished with absolutely original and new concept. Sirohi painters exploited the power of line and co lour for braking the form, and cutting the sharpness of bright colors. Harmonious and different colors live together like a well maintained garden where thrones and flowers live and furnish together, pleasing the viewers with spontaneous contrast. Each space and form is first enhanced by deep shadows and later curbed with light or dark lines on deep and light part equally.
This line treatment is obvious in border which is always scarlet. Painting is divided with a border, a strong white thick line bearing two black lines on inner and outer side. Border towards paintings is deepened with crimson, covering half of the border with a vanishing tone in the Centre. Sometimes, corners are controlled angularly and sometimes in a simple treatment of brush turning at the right angle. The dark tone is curbed with white thin line of white co lour which creates an extra pleasing effect. This type of treatment of line can be seen in the whole composition, controlling figures and forms, architecture, flora and fauna equally. Use of blue in its various tones is peculiar in Sirohi. Broad flat masses of different colors give a pleasure of painting, more balancing narrative ness in the composing.
Sirohi style of painting is inclined more towards folk. I includes Marwar and Mewar influences along with Mugal fashion which was rather mixed in Rajasthani culture. After deciding the provenience, the style became so distinct to viewers that a particular painting can be easily ascribed to this school due to her strong character and style, co lour and format and above all limited subjects. It might be a case of study that why only Ragamala Painting were executed and why other courtly and mundane subjects were not painted. The only possible reason seems to be that there must not have been atelier type of work place. Only some painters trained to paint Kalpasutra must have tried this subject on the basis of some source of drawings or a set. This style is their own version.
Architectural setting is quite distinctive in this schools of painting. It seems that the, painters obtained a set formula but could not follow them fully. So some confusion can obviously be seen in the placing of the various forms. Very obvious confusion can obviously be seen in the placing of the various forms. Very obvious confusion can be seen in the drawing of the eaves, balconies and small niches. But on the other hand, this spontaneous mistake help us recognize the style. The wall paintings available in the Sirohi palace and temples have a variety of subjects. But those on paper do not. Jain paintings form a big lot of Sirohi paintings. During the 11th century, many towns and villages became dislocated, people moved towards Gujarat. They took with them their cultural heritage including the manuscripts which merged there. This caused confusion to the scholars and Sirohi paintings were considered to be from Gujarat.
Early paintings of Sirohi are related to Jain religion. Amongst them, Darshan Chobeesia, Kalikacharya, Kalpasutra, Sangrahani sutra and Upadeshamala Devi Mahatmya etc are the painted manuscripts. The Kalpasutra resembles the earlier central Indian Gujarat style. This manuscript is also savachashma, in which the other eye is also painted in full size, going out of the drawing of the face and thus giving a peculiar look. Predominantly red and blue colors are used in flat masses as was the trend of those days.
Sangrahani Sutra is a Jain story. In this religion it is be lived tat there are seven seas in which salt, honey etc can be counted. There are many rivers too. There is an imaginative geographical map of the universe which is calculated according to the old scale of Yojana.
Kalikacharya Katha is related to the sage kalak. His sister was very beautiful King Gardabhilya of Ujjain fell in love and took her to his palace. Sage kalak planned to defeat hi and to set her sister free. He invited the king of Sakas for the purpose. Saka king fought with Gardabhilya but could not succeed easily. Later it came to known that Gardabhilya had mystic power. During the war that mystic power used to cry harshly sounding like a donkey. Due to this cry, the opposite army could not handle their weapons and fainted. Kalak recited some antidotes. This resulted in neutralizing the Gardabhilya's mystic power and he was defeated. Thus, kalak managed to rescue his sister. Saka's came from Seeston which was probably situated towards Iran. These kings were known as Kshatriyas. Sakas use to call themselves Sahis, which may be a version of Shahi. These days Saha, Sahu etc. are different versions of Sahi, according to Ramgopal Vijayvergiya.
Wall Paintings
Normally wall paintings are considered inferior in quality and craftsmenship as compared to the paintings executed on paper. But if we compare Sirohi mural with miniature paintings, we find that some of the wall paintings executed are meticulously executed well. It may lead us to believe that there must have been one class of painters who painted on walls and paper simultaneously.
Maharaj Akhairaj got the fort and palace constructed and decorated it with murals. We mainly find subjects like Krishna Lila, Indra Sabha and Shiv Lila etc. in the palace. Shiv Lila and Indra Sabha paintings of the palace have influenced the paintings in Durgeshwar Mahadev Temple. Unfortunately the Durgeshwar murals have vanished. Some photographic documents have been maintained by Dr. Sohan Lal Patni. Some hermitages of ascetics devoted to Sharneshwarji temple contained wall paintings but now every such record has vanished due to continuous white washing.
Technically there is not much variation in the execution of Murals, manuscripts and miniature paintings of Sirohi, as compared to other school of Rajasthani paintings. Creative men tried to use the colors available in the nature and also searched for the new colors from various sources.
Surprisingly, in whatever stock of the paintings on wall and paper is available, we could not find mention of the name of the artist. Only one drawing having a small inscription at its back, gives us one name. We cannot understand how only one could dare to write his name.

I got this ages ago - it was my first Laura Mercier purchase and really got me into her products. The texture of the bitten glosses is really nice and moisturizing - it's really smooth and nice on your lips. The texture looks creamy when it's on - and not so glossy as it's name says. The color is a dark warm nude color. The color is quite flattering but can look a little dark. I don't think that I will repurchase it again though because it just sits at the bottom of my handbag and I hardly ever wear it.

This is my favorite lip gloss. I am African American, about NW45 in MAC. It is just the perfect nude color for my skin tone - not too pink or orange, just the perfect topping to my lipsticks or alone. I have medium pigmented lips and it still shows up. It is not sticky or runny.
I also bought the Healthy Lips color and was not really happy with the color - gave it to my daughter who loves it.

I absolutely love this gloss - it is without a doubt my HG for a natural lip, and this is coming from someone who doesn't hand out HGs wily nily - in fact, other than my BB Nectar blush, I don't think I consider anything else in my rather extensive makeup collection to be HG. Nude is a gorgeous, dusty nude color with a kick of peachiness and the texture is very balmy (NOT sticky), which I love. This gloss is a great compromise for women who love the way lipstick looks, but don't like the way it feels. What I love the most is that it's just so NATURAL. I don't like the color of my lips and if I don't have some sort of colored chapstick/balm/gloss on them, I look very very washed out. I love that when I put this gloss on, it doesn't look obvious that I'm wearing lipgloss. It looks like I'm just wearing a clear lipbalm and my lips just happen to be a pretty color underneath :) It also has great staying power. Love it, and I'll be buying more off ebay. btw, just a little anecdote, I wore this lipgloss to work one day, and my boss actually buzzed me from her desk to ask me what lipgloss I was wearing, haha! So, definitely a great purchase :)

Laura Mercier Bitten Lipgloss in nude is a beautiful warm color. It is a beigy dark red with a tinge of orange with subtle gold shimmer. My lips a fairly well pigmented and this gloss gives them color while making them look natural and suitable for work. The smell is absolutely divine, smells a bit like chocolate ginger bread men, I just want to eat it! It is very moisturising, and feels incredible on the lips. I absolutely love it and will buy a back up when I run out. I am also going to buy the other colors in the bitten gloss range. Very happy!

text: Alien: Isolation Leaked Screenshots Matthew Prichard December 13, 2013 There is an increasing amount of evidence supporting the idea that the The Creative Assembly's Alien project is indeed the oft rumoured Alien: Isolation, believed to follow the story of Amanda Ripley, daughter of the franchise's traditional protagonist Ellen Ripley. The latest leak comes from Twitter user Lifelower and contains a set of four screenshots that seem to be set within some kind of a space base not dissimilar to those that have appeared in the films in the past, with one of them including the motion scanner: They follow on from the initial report, Twentieth Century Fox's trademarking of the title and earlier artwork in hinting that the project may not be too far from confirmation. It has also been reported that Sega took the feedback that it received for Aliens: Colonial Marines, and are committed to making a better game. Alien: Isolation is to rumoured to be released on current- and next-gen consoles, and presumably PC as well. Check out the other 3 screenshots below: Source: Twitter (Lifelower) Jim The most impressive part seems to be the detail on the suits. If that is any indication of the graphics of this game, and that it's still in development, the final product will probably be bloody fantastic. But then again there was ACM.. So we will have to wait and see. (NOT in any way a graphics whore, but considering how very, very, very, VERY, poor and dated the graphics were in ACM, the graphics for this game NEED to be mind blowing). Hopefully they will go the way of survival horror, as stated like Bioshock. But considering the antagonist of the story, I think it will be a challenge for them to maintain player interest and terror throughout the game, and let's be honest, 1970's Alien is all about terror. But hopefully they can pull it off. I just don't want to see ANY mutant science projects gone wrong like Alien 4. NO retcons of the previous storylines. NO mention of Predators. NO "multiplayer for the sake of multiplayer because every game has to have a call of duty multiplayer". And above all else, I do not want to see a game that isn't true to Alien. Amanda Ripley was supposed to have led a long, fufilled, happy and peaceful life. There had better be a damn good reason and explanation as to why not. I am praying this title will be a fantastic single player survival horror, that is true. http://www.onlysp.com/ Nick Calandra I'm saving my breath on the next Alien's game haha. The disappointment that Colonial Marines left with me will take a lot more to break than a few screenshots and tech demos. Jim I agree, but given Creative's history I reckon it will be half decent at least. But yes, it's going to take a lot to repair the damage that has been done. Feel sorry for the guys who will have to eventually market this game, it'll be a bloody nightmare. Jim Maybe they could make a game about that ^ instead if all falls through. silent warbird I agree with you totally and watching aliens the other day, this is weyland yutani we're talking about they may have spared ripley the devastation of telling her that her daughter went on a mission to find her. Otherwise she would have never gone back with the marines not saying this has happened but just a thought that the company has been lying to her the whole time. Jim Never thought of that, and wouldn't be surprised if they did. Could work pretty well. Just hoping for a decent game now. Even if it's only half decent, as long as it's better than ACM.

Our Brewing Process
Our process ensures that the finest ingredients are transformed into the finest beers. Want to learn more about how your beer ends up in your glass? Read on.
Step 1: The brewing process begins with malting the barley. At the malt house, the barley is steeped in water until it germinates. Next, it's kiln dried to produce pale malts, chocolate, black, and specialty malts. Step 2: The malted barley arrives at our brewery in bags from the malt house. Here, pale malt is blended with various crystal, roasted, and specialty malts according to the recipe for the desired brew. A light ale might be brewed with only pale malt. Darker beers, while brewed primarily with pale malt, would require different blends of the other malts according to style. Step 3: The malt is put in the mill until it becomes the texture of coarse grits or larger. The purpose is to expose the starch inside, but still be coarse enough so water can flow through. Next, the flex auger (pipe) carries it to the next part of the brewing process. The milling usually takes about 45 minutes. Step 4: The flex auger brings the milled grain to the grist case. The grist (what malt is now called) stays in the grist case until the brewer opens the two slides on the chute. It mixes with hot water as it falls into the mash tun, and the hot water along with the enzymes created in the malting process converts the starch in the barley into sugar. Step 5: After about an hour of the barley steeping in the hot water, the conversion process (turning starch into sugar) is complete. The liquid is now called wort. The liquid wort is separated from the grain by a screen at the bottom of the mash tun, and run off into the kettle through the pipe that connects the two. In a process called sparging, more hot water is sprinkled onto the mash to further rinse out the sugars created during the mash. At the beginning of the runoff the wort is very sweet and malty, and at the end of the runoff, it's very weak. Our brewer uses the same amount of water for each batch of beer brewed, but changes the amount of grain to produce the desired amount of sugar in the kettle. The amount of sugar desired changes depending on which type of beer is being brewed. The more malt used, the more alcohol, the more malt flavor and the more sugar - which sometimes means a longer fermentation. Step 6: Recycling the grain. We take all of our spent grain from our beer making process and give it to local farmers for their livestock feed. It's just another way we participate in sustainability. |

Lawn weeds/moss or something else?
posted by: netrate on 04.21.2013 at 04:31 pm in Lawn Care Forum I moved into a house that was vacant for the best part of a year. This year I want to do something about the lawn and I have these weeds/moss or whatever they are on it. I am not even close to knowing what I am doing, but I would love if someone could identify what these are and tell me how to prevent them/kill them. 80% of the lawn looks ok, but there are parts which need some TLC for sure. The pics are 4 different shots from different parts of the lawn and I pasted them all together. So they would be quadrant 1,2,3 & 4 going clock-wise I suppose. Maybe they are all the same type? Any help is appreciated.
NOTES: <none>

The children have been exploring the four seasons throughout the week and today they painted trees…
The teacher had set out paper with a tree form already on it (the children probably could have drawn their own trees) and a variety of paint colors with paint brushes. This was one of many different activities the children were able to choose from today…
Each of the children chose their own unique approach to painting their trees. This little boy seemed to prefer painting the letters in his name over painting the tree…
He eventually decided to add a few more colors to his painting…
This little girl started by painting her tree trunk a deep brown. Then she went back over the brown with white paint. All the children seemed to be very interested in the white paint….
And then she added bright colors to each branch of the tree. Just as I thought she was done, she went over to get a crayon and began drawing a person under the tree. A wonderful piece of multi-media artwork!
I just love all the colors! Now this was a very inviting table!

- ZDDP Plus Oil Additive 3 Pack
- ZDDP alters bearing and journal surface characteristics to prevent metal-on-metal contact
- ZDDP reduces the tendency of parts to scuff or gall under heavy loads
- Add a 4-oz. bottle of ZDDP Plus to every 4- or 5-quart oil change
- Economical 3-pack
About ZDDP Plus Oil Additive 3 Pack
After 70+ years, the EPA mandated that all domestic oil producers remove ZDDP (Zinc Dialkyl Dithio Phosphate) from all conventional and synthetic motor oil. If your engine was designed before 1989, the non-roller lifters require ZDDP to avoid premature deterioration. ZDDP also alters bearing and journal surface characteristics to prevent metal to metal contact. Under extreme conditions like a high performance motor, ZDDP reduces the tendancy of parts to scuff or gall under heavy loads. Simply add ZDDP-Plus to every 4-5 quart oil change and your motor will be protected from metal to metal contact.
4 Fluid Ounces in a pour bottle
MSDS Sheet
Click Here for Material Safety Data Sheet
Can it be used in both conventional and synthetic oils? YES Will too much hurt the motor? No, do not exceed 8 oz, 2 bottles. Can I use it in any motor? NO, 1989 and older. Will it work in diesel? NO, it will have no effect in a diesel motor.
Always wear eye and skin protection when changing oils or working around petroleum products.
Made in USA
Applicable with all grades of conventional and synthetic motor oils. Add at time of oil change. Can be added at any time but best time is at oil change. Should only be used in motor produced in 1989 and older. Not for use in diesel motors. Not for use with OBD controlled motors.

A man from San Miguel is facing several charges in connection with a hit and run on Saturday.
The California Highway Patrol says Beverly Wright, 50, of Atascadero, was standing outside of her vehicle along Highway 101 just north of Main Street in Templeton when she was hit by a car. The driver left the scene.
A short time later, Paso Robles Police arrested Juan Reynoso Arias, 48, of San Miguel. He faces charges of felony DUI, felony hit and run, and driving without a license.
The CHP says Wright is being treated for major injuries at Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno.

Like every player barely has an impact on the game at all, if you don't have teamwork, you lose, since it requires 2-3-4 players sometimes to get a kill. Which is very bizarre for a game most ppl solo queue in. Why not have a game mode where everyone is super powered like in Dota, so teamwork is important especially in premade games, but isn't a MUST, with enough skill you should be able to finish players off without having them to flash to safety if you aren't assisted by teammates. Like take a shooter for instance, 2v1 is difficult but definitely doable. Heck you can kill giant numbers of people at once if they are dumb enough.
I couldn't disagree with you any more. Every player has an impact. It only takes one person to throw a game. One person can make amazing plays to turn the tide. You know what counters flash? Flash does. Just learn to play better.
Every player has an impact. Anyone can singlehandedly lose the game.
play 3v3, every player is more appreciated there it means that a single leaver/feeder hurts your team more though and 3v3 is infested with leavers
team game is team game the better team will win
because it will take skills and lol players suck
weird how you have to have a team for a team game innit
You've got to be crazy to think that no single player can be the reason your team won the game.

As a grandparent there is nothing sweeter than receiving a drawing or sketch from a grandchild. I've got several of my grandchildren's portraits in the office and always get a great sense of joy from seeing them each morning.
So when I saw that Buckingham Palace is being lit up with portraits of the Queen, created by montages of over 200,000 self-portraits drawn by school children across Britain, I was delighted.
The 'Face Britain' campaign was created by Prince Charles' Foundation for Children and the Arts and challenged children aged 4-16 to create their own self-portraits. Together the portraits have assembled a vibrant and charming art installing of The Queen for her Diamond Jubilee.
The art work is currently being projected onto the front of Buckingham Palace each evening until Saturday and could potentially set a Guinness World Record for the most artists to work on the same art installation.
A fantastic addition to The Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations and rumour has it that The Queen really likes the installation.

Final Thoughts
We have a couple of projects planned with the Thermaltake MAX-1562 enclosures; the image above is from one such project. Without the MAX-1562 units, all of these drives would have to dangle off of the side of a table or fanned out across a desk with the wires heading back to the computer RAID controller. I haven't seen a regular tower computer case that has the ability to hold 18 2.5" drives from the factory. The Thermaltake MAX-1562 helps fill that need.
In this review, we talked about the fans, but didn't discuss if they were audible. The fans are extremely quiet in the MAX-1562 and we couldn't hear them at all, even when the enclosure was outside of the computer case. In our testing we also saw the performance of the drive stayed the same with the enclosure as it did without it.
At $72.99, the Thermaltake MAX-1562 is an excellent value for those with the need to install a handful of 2.5" drives in a desktop. The system works as it should, doesn't slow drive performance and is easy to install.
In the end, that's really all you want in a drive enclosure.

The prospect of a brand-new living-dead picture written and directed by George A. Romero is more than enough to flood your zombie nostalgia receptors, and the nostalgia isn't just for the cannibalistic freakout willies that a Romero movie once provided. It's for an entire era in which gruesome B horror flicks emerged from the kicky underground an era when limb-tearing, face-chewing nightmares could still tickle taboos. Today, our Hollywood blockbuster culture is essentially dominated by lavishly over-expensive B movies, and so it's no longer enough for a zombie thriller like Land of the Dead to serve up a few shocks and gross-outs layered with a dollop of hip-absurdist videogame nihilism. You need flair and originality and pizzazz, without which the undead tend to chomp and lurch along a little too easily on their own legend.
Thirty-seven years after he first brought his hungry macabre flesh-stalkers to the screen in Night of the Living Dead, Romero may be the last person alive who still thinks they're a metaphor for something important. ''They're trying to be us,'' declares one of the still-living horde in Land of the Dead, evoking the most famous line in Dawn of the Dead (''They're us''). Several of the skulking corpses now carry guns; one even screams to the heavens in what might be a fit of metaphysical rage. (Either that or that last bite of intestine didn't agree with him.) I was willing to forgive Romero for recycling his ghouls-are-us portentousness at least, until a character responded, with two-ton irony, ''It's like we're pretending to be alive.'' Okay! The living dead are symbols of a world that no longer values life! Our world! Now can we please get to the good parts?
I'm compelled to report that in Land of the Dead there are virtually no good parts. The movie is listless and uninspired: bereft of scares, shot on sets that look like something out of Escape From Pittsburgh III, full of grindingly paced scenes in which actors like John Leguizamo, as a hollow-eyed parasite of a survivor, grouse at other, far more anonymous actors, establishing that camaraderie among humans has fallen by the wayside and tautly understated genre heroics along with it. Dennis Hopper is on hand as the corrupt cliché who owns a posh, walled-off urban apartment complex, a structure that might have been the equivalent of the shopping mall in Dawn of the Dead had Romero made canny logistical (or satirical) use of its physical space. I'm tempted to say that the zombie horror film should be given its last rites, except that 28 Days Later, the scandalously funny Shaun of the Dead, and last year's blitzkrieg-of-fear remake of Romero's own Dawn all injected new life into the form. With Land of the Dead, it falls back into rigor mortis.

Does anyone have some honeysuckle (the native yellow kind) and/or trumpetvine they can give me some cuttings or rooted shoots of? Some butterfly bushes they don't want anymore? Any fragrant or dwarf fruiting plants they're no longer interested in?
I have:
Extra nasturtium seedlings (jewel colors with true leaves, in peat pots for easy transfer) Extra of one of two climbers I planted - I THINK they're convolvulous (blue, looks like a morning glory), but if not, they're sweetpeas (bluish-purple) Extra monarda (beebalm) - grew it from seed last year, returned this year - plants are already quite big. I have a huge monster of a jasmine plant that I could give you cuttings from. I also have two extra bush-type watermelon seedlings, some dill and maybe a cilantro. If you see something here you want and you have something OTHER than what I'm looking for, let me know. Maybe I'll get inspired ;) |

I live in South Jersey. I would like cannas and dahlias and any herbs. I have Monantra Daisey cuttings.(VERY hardy plant). Autumn Clematis vines. I also have Broelaids...........indoor plants. |
Do you really want the honeysuckle? None of the species are "native" and the one that I think you are refering to is the common one which is a horrible invasive species (rated up there with the kudu vine down south) which will easily take over your fence/yard and is hard to get rid of. Sorry to be a spoil-sport; I teach about invasive plants in Environmental Science - this is always at the top of the list. Zophra |

I took a cutting of some honeysuckle and rooted it in water, which was much faster than soil and rootone. It's sitting in a pot on the table now and hasn't taken off. I'm still deciding where to release it - I might just keep it potted. Conversely, I planted some raspberries a few years ago so my daughter could pick berries the way I did growing up further west (in Jersey). We got quite a few last year, but I just cut that thing back yesterday and it was like some kind of alien monster with runners everywhere. It's under control for the moment, but I must have hacked off 3 lawn bags of new growth. Fortunately, it's mostly thornless. Honeysuckle grows wild around here, but I've never seen it do any damage. I'm zone 5b/6 too, but I've never seen it do anything like the reports I've read re: strangling other plants etc here. |

Zophra, I'd really like to hear more, as it is my understanding (from several very credible sources) that lonicera sempervirens, unlike the invasive L. japonica, is native and non-aggressive, its nectar and berries attractive to butterflies and birds, respectively. I was pleased to acquire one last fall, which has overwintered in a pot sunk into my holding bed. |
