LED Christmas Light String Guide
1000Bulbs.com now carries hundreds of LED Christmas lights. Far from only reserved for the tech-savvy, these products are now mainstream holiday lighting. Last year alone we saw LED Christmas light adoption up 25%, and we expect that trend to continue.
read moreHalloween Lighting Ideas
Halloween is just around the corner, and if you're looking to have the spookiest haunted house on the block, we're here to help! You can take a look at our Halloween lights page and even our brand-new lighted Halloween decorations for some quick ideas, but to go all-out, you'll need to check out our Christmas lights.
If you find yourself asking why anyone in their right mind would use Christmas lights anytime outside of well…Christmas, put the incredulous tone aside for a minute and consider this: Though typically associated with the winter holidays, Christmas lights have all kinds of other uses, from weddings to birthday parties, so why not Halloween?
Looking for inspiration? Try these creepy Halloween ideas for colored light strings and bulbs: Use purple lights to create an eerie glow reminiscent of the full moon in a cemetery, or use orange lights to emulate the smoky flicker of a candle. Don't stop there! Green lights emit the sickly pallor of toxic sludge while red lights ooze the unmistakable curdle…I mean, color…of blood. Another idea for light strings is to fit medium base patio light stringers with antique light bulbs for an efficient and portable "Addams Family" vibe.
Keep in mind, however, the idea is to scare the neighbors, not yourself. To avoid those spine-chilling energy bills this fall, you can go green with LED wide-angle lights or LED M5 lights for your Halloween display. You can also save on energy bills with battery-operated lights. A string of battery-operated LED Christmas lights, for example, is an energy-saving (and much safer) alternative to candles in your Jack O'Lanterns.
You might also consider a black Christmas tree or wreath covered in spider webs or a scarecrow mounted on a rotating Christmas tree stand. You could even follow the lead of other 1000Bulbs.com customers by using our plastic street lamp globes in an astronaut or Deadmau5 costume (see the video below). Whatever you do, we would love you to share your ideas. Drop us a line in comments or on Facebook, Twitter, or Google Plus. And if you're really proud of your creation, be sure to share it on our Pinterest Halloween pinboard!
read moreDo Yellow Bug Light Bulbs Work?
Ah…summertime. Warm weather, pool parties, barbecues, and bugs. Lots and lots of bugs. Few things can turn a summer day into utter misery faster than a swarm of flying insects. You've tried greasy bug spray, citronella candles, Tiki torches, maybe even blowtorches. So we can imagine your surprise when you saw a yellow-colored "bug light bulb" at your local hardware store. Could it be true? Could screwing in a light bulb solve your bug problems for good?
To answer that question, let's start by clearing up some myths about yellow incandescent bug lights and their energy-saving cousin, compact fluorescent bug lights. Bug lights do not kill bugs (you'll need a bug zapper or Paraclipse fly trap for that), nor do bug lights repel bugs. Bug lights simply attract fewer bugs than other light bulbs. In short, a bug light will not magically solve your bug problem, but it will make you and your home less visible to most flying insects.
As discussed in a past article, light is divided into multiple wavelengths, measured in nanometers (nm), as you can see in the graph below. The human eye can only perceive a small band of wavelengths in the light spectrum, from about 390 to 750 nm. Insects perceive a similarly small band of the light spectrum, though their band of vision is shifted further to the "right" of the spectrum than ours. In fact, any wavelength higher than about 650 nm is virtually invisible to most flying insects.
So why are bug lights yellow? Wavelength and color temperature have an inverse relationship, which you can also see in the graph. As the wavelength of a light source decreases, its color temperature increases (as according to Wien's displacement law). Low color temperatures are red-yellow and exhibit a long wavelength, while high color temperatures are blue-violet and exhibit a short wavelength. By coloring a bulb yellow, then, the manufacturer has decreased the color temperature and in doing so increased the wavelength into a spectrum unseen by insects.
That's the science of how bug light lights work, but the larger question is whether they are effective. From personal experience, I can say yes, they are. However, bug lights are not a panacea for all your bug problems. This is for a couple reasons. One is that not all insects are the same; different bugs see slightly different wavelengths. Second, no light source is made up of one, pure wavelength. Even an apparently yellow light may exhibit some shorter (and bluer) wavelengths that insects may still see.
To get the most out of your bug light, remember this: The bugs aren't there because they like the light; they're there because they like the smaller (and tastier) bugs that buzz around the light. If these smaller bugs sense any light whatsoever, it won't be long before they buzz their way to bask in it. And once the small bugs are there, it won't be long before the bigger bugs follow. Once that happens, you have a bug party on your hands, light or no light. The best thing to do to avoid a swarm of bugs is to turn the light off when you don't need it.
read moreHow to Choose Landscape Lighting
Most homeowners install landscape lighting for safety concerns. For example, we put PAR38 Halogens above our garages and entrances so we can see at night and detect intruders. Others may install inexpensive solar powered LED lights to line their sidewalks or flower beds. However, these applications fall far short of what is possible with landscape lighting.
During the day, your neighbors see everything touched by the sun, but at night, you're given a blank canvas that you can "paint" with the right lighting design. When used thoughtfully, landscape lighting can have a transformative effect on your lawn, highlighting focal points and adding dimension to your yard.
To begin your project, decide between solar and low voltage landscape lighting. Line voltage landscape lighting is also available, but is only recommended for large commercial applications. Solar lighting is inexpensive, easy to install, and doesn't use any electricity since it derives all its power from the photovoltaic panels on the fixture. However, solar lights are undependable. Solar landscape lights are dim and produce light for only a few hours. For this reason, 1000Bulbs.com doesn't carry solar landscape lights, nor do we recommend them. Instead, we suggest low voltage landscape lights that operate at either 12 or 24 volts. When used with the right outdoor transformer, low voltage lights are safe, easy to install, and even easier to maintain.
Next, you have the choice of Halogen or LED landscape lights. Halogen landscape lights are the traditional type of landscape lighting. They are relatively inexpensive, yet they use a large amount of electricity. The advantage of LED is huge energy savings, though your up-front cost may be much more. A typical Halogen landscape bullet, for example, can use as much as 60 watts, but an LED of the same brightness will use only 10. LED lights will also last 50 times as long as Halogen; this means significant long-term savings and much less maintenance.
Now design your landscape lighting layout. On the typical home, you'll need three types of lights: Pathway lights, bullet lights, and in-ground well lights. Pathway lights, as the name implies, go along pathways, including sidewalks and driveways. You can install bullet lights in the ground and pointed upward to highlight trees, bushes, statues, fountains, and building facades. You can also install bullet lights pointing downward from trees, which makes the tree look full and vibrant while casting a soft glow over your entire yard. Finally, you can use well lights in many of the same areas as bullet lights. Because they are buried, well lights are more concealed, making them perfect for spotlighting trees where there isn't any other foliage around to hide a bullet light.
So have you installed or considered installing landscape lights at your home? If you've already installed them, what are your experiences? If you haven't, what type of landscape lights most interest you? Drop us a line in the comments below, or give us a holler on Facebook, Twitter, or Google+. You can even post your project photos on Pinterest!

Rainsource Press
Rainsource Press is Brad Lancaster's self-publishing endeavor. The purpose of Rainsource Press is to spread information that can help readers become beneficial stewards of the land and communities where they live. This information has been learned from living it, and through direct observation, hands-on experience, and studying the good work of others.
Our publications:
More info >> | More info >> | More info >> | More info >> |
The Process
Our books have evolved over a 9-year process. Their production has been largely self-financed through my work — teaching, speaking, consulting, and designing — and by having a very low cost of living. Many of the strategies discussed in our books have made this possible. As described in Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond, Volume 1, I live and work in a small house that my brother and I purchased together. It was very rundown and cheap when we got it, and we set out from the beginning to make sure the cost of living there would also be cheap. We harvest over 100,000 gallons of rainwater per year on our property and adjoining right-of-way. Water-harvesting earthworks support a landscape that helps passively cool our home in summer and heat it in winter. Solar panels on the roof provide us with our electricity. A solar water heater heats the water. And much of our food is produced on site (irrigated with rainwater and/or greywater) or gleaned within the community. I have sought to support my community directly by primarily hiring other self-employed people and using locally-owned businesses in my community to help produce these books. This cycles money in the local economy, much the way I promote cycling water within the landscape. Knowledge is also cycled since everyone working on the project has also shared their own knowledge of striving to live more sustainably in their own way — a bonus to their great skills in editing, design, and illustrations.
If we want clean water we must have clean air and soil. For this reason Rainsource Press prints on 100% post-consumer recycled paper in order to reduce the destruction of forests and the watersheds they protect. The only Rainsource Press vehicle is an Xtracycle, which produces just a fraction of the pollutants generated by motorized vehicles. The bike riding also works great to clear my head, while negating the need to ever have a gym membership.
And finally, we have contracted with Chelsea Green Publishing Company to distribute our books in North America because they also strive to spread the seeds that can create a better world by living it.

This is the easiest fondant recipe I've ever used. The fondant has an elastic-like quality, which makes stretching without tearing very easy. The marshmallow flavor is a favorite, especially with the kids.Ingredients
- *1-16oz. bag mini marshmallows 2 Tbsp. water - more if necessary 2 lbs. powdered sugar 1/4 c. shortening *NOTE: If you can't find a 16 oz. bag, you can reduce your sugar by approx. 1/4
Combine marshmallows and water. Microwave on high approx. 45 seconds. Mix well. If marshmallows aren't completely melted, return to microwave for 15 seconds. Mix well. Heavily grease your rolling mat with shortening. Pour powdered sugar on mat and make a well in the center. Pour marshmallow mixture into well. Heavily grease your hands and work mixture together. Be careful -- marshmallow mixture may be hot. Knead fondant until smooth - greasing hands as necessary. Wrap fondant in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container up to 2 weeks. If fondant is stiff when ready for use, microwave at 10 second intervals until pliable.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel's coalition government suffered in a poll
on Friday which saw opposition Social Democrats and Greens score their
highest level of voter support in 11 years.
The survey, released by ARD public television, said a coalition of Social
Democrats (SPD) and Greens would win 51 percent of the vote if elections
were held now.
This compares to 36 percent for Merkel's ruling coalition of Christian
Democrats (CDU), Christian Social Union Bavarians (CSU) and Free Democrats
The pro-business Free Democrats, scoring just four percent, would fail by
one point to win representation in parliament.
The dimap poll of 1,507 people, conducted by the Infratest Institute at
the start of the month, also found that 74 percent of the population was
unhappy with the government's performance, down four points on June.
Merkel's own popularity also dropped four points to 45 percent against a
background of financial turmoil in Europe and worry at home over the
amount of financial support Berlin might have to provide to bail out
debt-ridden euro-zone partners.

Head out to the Rodeo in this fantastic country music inspired hat from Resistol's George Strait Collection. The Hazer has a wide 4 1/4" brim for plenty of shade and a 4 1/8" regular oval crown, cattleman profile 30, with eyelets. Its unique leather hatband has a combination of cross stitching and conchos across the front with the George Strait insignia plate at its side. This hat boasts an "IceFil" sweatband for added comfort on the hottest summer days. It is specially designed to wick moisture away while creating a cooling effect.
Resistol cowboy hats are the legacy of a company started in the 1920s to make stylish, high quality Western hats that would "resist all weather." The mission remains unchanged today, as Resistol has become the largest hat maker in the world, producing a choice of cowboy hat styles and materials for every use, and for men, women and children. The Garland, Texas facility is home to a full manufacturing process, delivering hats in fine materials that range from their own wool felt, to Mexican palm, bison fur, and more. Working cowboys rely on Resistol hats for maintaining comfort during the hard wear and tear of everyday use. Choose the perfect profile and brim for your needs. These hats are supremely functional, but they haven't forgotten the details and flourishes that distinguish each piece, like a leather band with three-piece buckle on the Bankston, or the Resistol hatpin and feather on the Bull Bash B, part of the Tuff Hedeman Collection. In Hatcountry, most hats are in stock and ready to ship, while selected hats are special order and made to production, requiring four to seven weeks delivery.

One month ago, I had pleasure to speak at a Parliamentary event on Integrated Medicine and Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. It was an amazing day in so many ways…To be inside Parliament (sadly, no photos allowed…)..to be sharing our story…and most of all, to have the opportunity to inspire other mothers on similar journeys to me…I loved the whole experience.
While I was there, I met the editor of the British Homeopathic Magazine. He was interested in our story and my speech will be published here in the UK sometime in the next week or so. For those of you who are not homeopaths, here it is…. (If you missed my last post, you might want to read this.)
A MOTHER'S TALE (my speech as given in Parliament)
Isn't it funny how some life choices lead us to the most unexpected places?
12 years ago, I moved to the UK with my work as a director in a large US company. My life was full and fast-paced. My work was fun and, I thought, challenging.
6 years ago I became a single mother when my daughter, Phoebe, was born. Sharing my life with my beautiful daughter was wonderful, but I was an ocean away from my family and things were far from easy. Little did I know but life was soon to become much, much harder for us both.
In 2011, inspired in part by my beautiful girl, I left the safety and security of my career to pursue my dream of becoming a portrait photographer. I knew this would be difficult, but I believed together we would make it. Setting up as a self-employed photographer inevitably meant life became tougher, especially financially. But none of this had prepared me for what was yet to come.
Two years ago, I sat with my daughter in a very plain, cream-coloured room and heard for the very first time the words "Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis". Initially, I rejected these words out of hand –they couldn't apply to us. But yes, in fact, they did! My little girl was three and half years old and diagnosed with a chronic disease.
Her left knee was swollen, and what had started as an intermittent limp, had become something more consistent. Over time, from May to September of that year, she had more and more difficulty walking, and often would wake crying in the morning. She would crawl to my room because she couldn't walk, and my heart would break for her. Again and again.
My first response to that diagnosis was mixed. On the one hand, I was very much afraid for Phoebe and wanted to find out what modern medicine could offer. We started our medical journey with a general rheumatologist in our local hospital, who, when I didn't want to inject her knee with steroids straight away, painted a very dark and dire picture. As a result of her words, I was fearfully focused on what the disease might do to my daughter and to her joints. We quickly transferred to a paediatric rheumatologist who listened to me, but who also painted an equally dismal picture. It seemed, according to the rheumatologist, there was no choice but to use some pretty heavy medication to treat my daughter.
Determined response
My second response to the diagnosis was a determined one. I have always held a belief that my mind and my body together can heal. I have always believed that diet is crucially important. For myself, I only used drugs as the very last resort, mainly because I didn't want their side-effects. Holistic medicine, such as homeopathy, kinesiology, osteopathy, Reiki, acupuncture, reflexology, had all helped both Phoebe and I in the past. And so to treat my daughter's inflammation, I wanted holistic medicine to be the primary course of treatment, using conventional Western medicine only at those crucial times when my daughter absolutely needed it. I wanted to support and not suppress my daughter's body, to give her immune system the time and space to right itself.
And so began our journey with an elimination diet (in the beginning, Phoebe had a very long list of food intolerances), with supplements, with homeopathy, with kinesiology and with osteopathy. Her treatment took into consideration her whole self. My healer worked and continues to work with Phoebe energetically, emotionally, structurally, chemically and nutritionally.
As many of you will know, healing through holistic medicine doesn't happen overnight. And so in September of that year, when Phoebe's knee was painful and not getting better, she received a steroid injection into the joint. About this time she was also diagnosed with Uveitis in both eyes, a serious condition associated with JRA which can lead to blindness. Things were getting worse. For although her knee had responded to the steroid injection, she soon after suffered another flare-up, this time in both knees with the uveitis continuing to affect both her eyes.
At each of our hospital check-ups, I was put under increasing pressure to treat Phoebe with Methotrexate (MTX), an anti-rheumatic drug that can have some very serious side-effects including hair loss, seizures, confusion, blurred or loss of vision and, weakness on one or both sides of the body. This was something I was – and am still – adamantly against using. I was told in no uncertain terms that with her presentation of symptoms the chances of remission without MTX were slim to none. I was told I was damaging my daughter. And on more than one occasion, the doctors reduced me to tears by the things they said.
A stubborn lady
Luckily for Phoebe, I can be one stubborn lady. I held my ground. And last June, more than a year after it started, the inflammation disappeared from Phoebe's eyes and her knees. She remained inflammation-free for nine months. Two months ago, Phoebe's symptoms returned. However, this time she's not in pain and her mobility has been little affected. Thankfully, we work VERY closely with our homeopath-kinesiologist and Phoebe is now seen at Great Ormond Street Children's hospital. But as the medical staff there will tell you, I continue to be as determined as ever to support her system in healing with minimal drug intervention.
That first year following Phoebe's diagnosis was by far the hardest of my life. On top of the emotional strain of learning my daughter had a serious illness, I felt like I had to fight the system that was in place to support and heal her.
There were no easy answers to Phoebe's condition from complementary and alternative medicine either. Thank goodness for the Internet! I spent hours researching and spoke to many different holistic therapists and doctors. Phoebe and I saw and spoke to people both here in the UK and in the US, before I found the team of carers that now work to support Phoebe today.
You may be wondering what all this cost me. The simple answer is – quite a bit. How could I afford this? Keep in mind that at the time I was in the second year of setting up my own business, had yet to make any money and was a single mother. And yet in my mind I knew I HAD to afford this.
In terms of both money and time Phoebe's alternative care was and is expensive. Sometimes we have three or four doctor visits in one week, most of which I pay for. Our food bill has more than doubled because we now eat a primarily Paleo diet: lots and lots of organic vegetables and very high quality, organic meat and wild fish. Phoebe is taking lots of supplements too, which are also expensive. And every day, on top of being a single mom, on top of running my own business, I spend two to three hours in the kitchen cooking or making fresh juices and smoothies for Phoebe.
For me, this was simply a choice of priorities. Her health and my health come first. Holidays, clothes, eating out, all these things come second.
Is it easy? No!
Can it be done? Yes!
Do I believe Phoebe is healing? Undoubtedly, yes!
Six gifts
Anyone who knows me knows that I think of these last two years as a journey. As difficult as it has been, this has been a time for me of immense learning and a time that has presented me with many, many gifts. And I would like to share six of these gifts with all parents facing a diagnosis of JRA or any other autoimmune disease.
- Trust. Trust yourself. Trust your intuition, especially when it comes to you or your child. You are different from any other person. You know your child better than anyone else. You will know deep down when you are on the right path.
- What you think and what you say counts. I never say "my daughter has JRA". I also don't think of my daughter as sick. She is healing and I see her as whole and well. When she could not walk, I would visualise her running across the field. I would talk to her about the time when she would run. In fact even today, we often march around the park chanting: "My knees are better, my eyes are better, I'm inflammation free." Silly but effective!
- What you eat matters. Period!
- There is no "one size fits all" in relation to your or your family's health. What works to heal one patient will not automatically work to heal your child. The best thing you can do is to find a gifted and compassionate holistic healer, preferably one with training in multiple healing disciplines. And then find a rheumatologist and ophthalmologist who are sympathetic to your viewpoint. They may not agree with you. They may not understand your methods, but at least you can work together for your child.
- Be patient. Holistic medicine takes time. It took months if not years to knock my daughter's immune system out of kilter. It is taking a similar amount of time to bring it back into balance.
- Make friends with your fear. Reading this you may think I'm supremely confident and secure in my beliefs. You may think I am without self-doubt when it comes to my decisions as a mother. But that is only because I work all the time on recognising, but not being driven by my fear.
Three wishes
Before I close, I would like to share these three wishes with you.
- Firstly, I wish for CHOICE. I wish our GPs and our consultants would present information and healing options to us. I wish there were a way that we could work together with our doctors to choose and create a healing treatment plan that utilises the best of Western medicine and holistic medicine in combination. I know other countries are doing this. Why can't we?
- I wish we could approach healing with the WHOLE person in mind. As I teach yoga I know that tight hips are not just tight hips. To ease the tightness, the whole body must be worked. Often the mind must soften too. It is the same with autoimmune disease. In my experience, my daughter's sore knee is not just a sore knee or a wayward immune system. Her issues can be healed but not without considering ALL of her.
- And lastly, I wish for more SUPPORT and CONNECTION. This has been a very lonely journey for me. Thank goodness for Facebook and the encouragement I received from my friends there. How grateful I am that I met Lauren Vaknine from the British Homeopathic Association, who supported me at a time when I felt very alone. How I wish there was a way to better connect like-minded parents and patients together.
I hope mine and Phoebe's story offers hope and encouragement to someone embarking on their own healing journey. Namaste!
Here, after the event, with Lauren Vaknine who was instrumental in putting together the entire day.

Water Rate Structure Study 2012
The City is reviewing the water rate structure to see if modifications should be made and we want you, the residents, to be a part of it.
Why? During the presentation of the 2011-2013 Water Fund Analysis last June, Council expressed its desire to review the current water rate structure to determine if modifications should be made to enhance revenue stability for the water utility. The current rate structure has been in place, with a minor modification in 2007, since 1993. It is a prudent business practice to revisit rate structures on a periodic basis to ensure that the Council's and community's goals and objectives are being met.
How can I get involved? The public is invited to four sessions planned between July and October, and one wrap-up meeting that will be scheduled before the end of the year. These sessions will introduce the rate setting process and ultimately guide Council through its selection of a water rate structure.

Selection of a Water Rate Structure
Receive a report with a final recommended rate structure- MEETING NOTES
Study Session 1. Fundamentals of Water Rate Structures – July 10, 2012. The City's consultant, HDR Engineering, will present a thorough discussion on the fundamentals of developing cost-based water rate structures and the philosophy of rate setting, the underlying rate setting goals and objectives, terminology, and technical aspects of rate structure design. The presentation and interactive dialogue with the Council members and community will guide participants through an overview of the rate setting methodology and the correlation between rate structure design and revenue generation which will lay the foundation for the process.
Study Session 2. Rate Design Goals and Objectives – August 7, 2012. A discussion of commonly accepted rate design goals and objectives, their meanings and implications to an overall rate structure design and review and discuss typical rate design goals. From this dialogue, the Council will be asked to prioritize its top six rate structure goals for use in developing the conceptual rates structures for Council members review and discussion at Study Session 3.
Study Session 3. Developing Conceptual Rate Structures – September 18, 2012 (tentative). The results of the Council weighting of recommended rate structure goals will be presented and discussed. Based on the prioritized rate design goals and objectives of the City, up to ten conceptual water rate designs (rate structures only, no actual rates, meaning no dollars) will be presented. Based on input from the meeting, HDR and staff will then narrow the field and select the top three rate structures. These three rate structures will be evaluated and presented to the Council in Study Session 4.
Study Session 4. Technical Review of Rate Structures – October (tentative). A "road test" of the final selected conceptual rate structures which will support the prioritized goals and financial policies. Actual rates and bill comparisons will be used to review any impacts to customers. Although there will be numbers associated with the "road test", it is not an exercise in setting the actual rates. A recommendation on the rates will be presented to the Council as part of the 2013-2015 financial planning process.
Meeting 5. Selection of the Final Rate Structure – TBD. After completion of the study sessions, HDR will provide the Council with a report summarizing the steps taken to review the rate structure, an overview of the rate structures reviewed during the study, recommendations of the analysis HDR will undertake, and a recommended final proposed rate structure.
After each meeting, information regarding the outcome of the discussion will be posted along with any presentation materials that are available. If you have questions and/or want to provide input, please email Ron Munds at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Can I Get You Something From the Bar? (Not)
"What should you do when you're at a party having a conversation with someone, and you suddenly realize they are obviously not listening?" writes a reader named JS.
"You are talking away, when you notice the person you are addressing is straining to hear another conversation going on nearby," she writes. "How does one handle this situation?"
Cut your losses, JS. It's generally best to bail out of a bad party conversation, rather than try to resuscitate it. Remember, you're at a party, which means there are plenty of other people standing around with the expectation of making chitchat. It's easy pickings. The trick is to avoid appearing rude as you make your escape. But if the person you're talking to is already distracted, it should be easy enough to excuse yourself to get another drink (or appetizer, or whatever, depending on the party). Say, "Can I bring you something?"
The answer will probably be no—otherwise the person you're talking to would already be getting whatever it is you're pretending to get—and you'll be off the hook. If for some reason the person says, "Yes, bring me a glass of wine and one of those tiny lamb chops I saw go by a minute ago," smile sweetly and wander away. Don't worry—she'll forget about it as soon as she turns her attention back to whatever was so captivating a moment ago.

A report in the Bury & Norwich Post** on Jul-12 in 1870 when Samuel Parsons was the landlord reports that :
"Beerhouse in Long Brackland.
A boy, Frederick Stone was forceably ejected from the pub, but returned and kicked out the windows in the door. At his trial his mother told the court "that her boy had had beer given him, and was the worse for drink". He received a seven days imprisonment."
Long Brackland used to stretch along what's now St John Street, to the pub may have been there. The building we think it was seems to have been replaced by a relatively new building.

Some are calling Tuesday's election results a referendum on President Obama's first year in office.
For weeks now, the White House has been publicly saying that the off-year elections in places like Virginia, New Jersey, and New York were simply not a reflection of how the country feels about President Obama after his first year in office.
There may be some truth to that but that assessment is a little complicated.
First of all, in Virginia, President Obama didn't spend much time there in the governor's race, knowing full well that the Republican Bob McDonnell was leading by double digits.
Also, the majority of voters in Virginia said President Obama's views did not influence their vote in this election.
Throw in the fact that the president's approval numbers are still pretty high in Virginia, and you come to the conclusion that this race may simply be more about McDonnell running a great campaign and the Democrat Creigh Deeds not running a very good one.
However, in New Jersey, the president spent a lot of time campaigning for the Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine. So clearly the White House put more of the president's reputation on the line in that state.
As for New York, while the outcome clearly matters, this story is really more about how a moderate Republican candidate left this race because voters preferred the conservative party candidate instead.
So going forward, get ready for the battle cry from die-hard conservatives who will say the future of the party is rooted in Reagan conservatism and not in some big tent, kumbaya philosophy.
The political storyline leading up to the 2010 elections may feature headlines that say, "Republicans divided over party direction."

My shower is making a horrible squealing noise when I pull up the diverter knob to send the water out of the showerhead. It lasts anywhere froma few seconds to a couple or so mintues. It started awhile back, meaning a couple of years :). First, it would only be when the shower was not used for several days when I was out of town. After using it a few times it would finally stop. Then it would be fine until I went out of town for several days again. Recently It's started doing it some if I only skip one day of using it. (I've been taking some of my showers at the fitness ceter after water aerobics; I'm not just stinky LOL!)
I did a search on Google, and it said I might have some trash in the showerhead. I'm going to take it off and see about that. If that doesn't fix it, anyone have any other suggestions? I will be calling a plumber because I don't know squat about it, but I'd like to have some kind of idea beforehand. I don't want him to tell me I need a new flugelhosen and charge me $500 - LOL! TIA! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Corrosion, mineral deposit or other debris built up on the diverter valve inside the tub spout can cause it to vibrate noisily, as can a cheap spout whose valve never seated correctly in the first place. A new tub spout may be needed if the cause is corrosion or the valve can't otherwise be gotten to seat correctly. If it ends up being the flugelhosen, though, get a top-of-the-line one. |

If u put slight pressure on the diverted it probably goes away. If so there is a set screw on the underside of your tub spout take it off and take it to a local hardwear store and they will set you up with what you need |

The Samsug Digimax V700 is Samsung's top-of-the-line compact digital camera. The only other camera with more features in the Samsung line is the 8 Megapixel, 15X optical zoom Pro815, which is not yet available in stores as of this writing. The V700 sports a 7.1 Megapixel sensor (enough to make prints well above 11" x 14"), a 3X Schneider-Kreuznach zoom lens, and many features usually reserved for higher-end point-and-shoot digital cameras or dSLRs (digital SLR cameras). In addition, the V700 can shoot long (with a large memory card) movies at VGA resolution and 30 fps using its MPEG-4 video mode.
The V700 is ideally suited as a compact camera for a photography enthusiast or a first camera for an individual or family wishing to make big prints. For families who like to share one camera, the Auto mode should be simple enough for even little children to use. At a street price of well under $400, you will not find a compact digicam with as many features, although you should be prepared to deal with the major issue of camera speed (response time) and a couple of minor image quality issues.
If you have any questions or comments on this review, please use either the "discuss this story" link at the bottom of the article or click the icon of a curved arrow pointing at a piece of paper at the top right.
Everything you need to get started taking photos comes with the camera, including LiIon rechargeable battery, battery charger (which consists of a long cable and charging unit; I personally prefer the one that plugs into the wall directly), 32 MB Secure Digital Card (good for only about 9 full resolution/quality shots; you should purchase at least a 128 MB card), USB cable (for downloading photos to your computer), TV cable (for displaying photos on your television), wrist strap, and software CD. As an extra bonus, a nice padded carrying case is also included. For this review only, a 128MB memory card was shipped in the box; note that you will receive a 32 MB card if you purchase the camera.
- 7.1 megapixel CCD sensor (1/1.8-inch size)
- 3X optical zoom (equivalent to 38-113mm on a 35mm film camera: moderate wide-angle to moderate telephoto)
- 2.0" Color TFT LCD (118,000 pixels)
- Autofocus: TTL, with AF assist beam
- Optical viewfinder (getting rarer these days; VERY useful in low light)
- Full Manual/Aperture-priority/Shutter-priority exposure modes, 11 scene modes (Night, Portrait, Children, Landscape, Close-up, Text, Sunset, Dawn, Backlight, Beach/Snow, Fireworks), 3 MySet modes
- Video shooting modes: MPEG-4 mode - 640 x 480 at 30 or 15 fps, until memory card is full
- Shutter speeds from 1-2000 seconds (15-2000 seconds in manual mode)
- ISO range 50/100/200/400, AUTO
- Selectable metering mode: spot, multi-metering (also, exposure compensation)
- Selectable white balance: daylight, cloudy, tungsten, fluorescent, fluorescent H, fluorescent L, custom (2)
- Flash range: 0.7-9.8 ft (wide), 0.8-6.5 ft (tele)
- Battery life: approximately 280 shots
- Continuous shooting: 0.8 frames per second, until memory card is full
- Dimensions: 4.1" x 2.12" x 1.2"
- Comes in red, blue, silver (reviewed)
- Voice memo (attaches sound clip to stills), dedicated voice recorder
- PictBridge printing (prints directly connected to printer; no PC required)
- Color effects: b/w, sepia, negative
- Exposure bracketing, focus bracketing
- Can shoot TIFF images (lossless compression)
- Adjustable sharpness, RGB slider controls
- Live histogram (!)
The V700 sports more features and resolution than any compact camera in the Samsung line-up. At maximum still resolution (3072 x 2304), the V700 can produce an 8" x 10" print at nearly 290 dpi (photo quality). At 150 dpi, you can generate much bigger prints - up to 20" x 15". Even if you don't need such large prints, the higher resolution comes in handy when you want to crop your images. On the V700, you can also take photos at lower resolution: 2816 x 2112, 2592 x 1944, 2272 x 1704, 2048 x 1536, 1600 x 120, 1024 x 768, 640 x 480.
On the video side, the camera takes videos at full VGA (640 x 480), 30 or 15 fps resolution. There is no time limit on any video mode; you are only limited by the size of your video card. The camera uses the MPEG-4 codec, which is capable of long recording times even at 30fps (over 8 minutes with a 128 MB card, over 1 hour 8 minutes with a 1GB card). This is especially impressive since with a big card you can exceed the recording time of a camcorder. The only disadvantage is that the MPEG-4 video quality is not as good as that from a less efficient codec. On my Canon SD200, for example, the videos are sharp, smooth and clear enough to produce home DVDs.
The 2.0" LCD is fairly sharp and unusually bright, and holds up well in the bright outdoors. However, in very dim conditions it doesn't "gain up" so that you can see what you're framing - you'll have to use the convenient optical viewfinder, which is tending to disappear these days as compact cameras get even smaller. While shooting, the LCD displays such things such as shooting mode, metering mode, flash status, macro indicator, battery status, memory card "fuel gauge", resolution, manual focus indicator and scale, resolution, aperture or shutter speed (in a non-Auto mode), ISO setting (in Manual mode), white balance setting and numbers of photos you can take on the card. The Play button can be pressed at anytime to display the photos on the card; the zoom lever is then used to make the displayed image larger or smaller, while the four-way controller is used to scroll through the image. In a shooting mode, a very useful histogram is available to check if your photo is over or underexposed. You also have the option of having the LCD display just the image (no info) during shooting, or to have it turned off altogether (to save battery life).
Basic operation of the camera involves pushing the Power button at the top of the camera and selecting the camera mode by rotating the selector switch on the back (Auto, Program, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, Full Manual, MySet, Movie, Scene) and using the circular "joystick" to scroll among the options. The Auto mode works nicely in most situations, but if you want more flexibility and creativity you can enable one of the many Scene Modes (described in Specification Hightlights, above) or one of the MySet modes, which allow you to pre-set many shooting parameters and save them.
The V700 is a compact, but not subcompact camera.. At 4.1" x 2.12" x 1.2" it will fit in a shirt pocket but you'll want to put it in the included case before you put it on your purse on on your belt. It feels comfortable to hold in the hand, thanks to the the significant size and rounded corners. The camera casing appears to be made from metal and plastic.
The top of the camera has (from left to right): the Power button, the shooting mode selector, and an adjustment lever which concentrically surrounds the shutter release button. This lever is used to adjust aperture value, shutter speed and focus (in manual modes). The status light is directly under the Power button.
On the front of the camera, from left to right: a tiny chrome "grip", the flash, the optical viewfinder, the AF Assist/red-eye reduction lamp, and the Schneider-Kreuznach f/2.8-5.1 3X zoom lens (shown with camera powered on).
The back of the camera shows (clockwise, from top left): the optical viewfinder (with AF and flash status lights), the W/T zoom controller, the Monitor button (for turning the LCD on/off and controlling the level of information displayed) , the combined joystick/Menu button (for selecting shooting parameters or photos), the Play/Review button, a rubber cover that hides DC-in and USB ports, the Album (playback), the AEL/ASM button (auto exposure lock, manual mode setting), and finally another menu button (similar to Canon's FUNC button) that brings up multiple menu sceens. That's a lot of controls and buttons; I am used to Canon cameras, so initially I was trying to zoom with the lever that surrounded the shutter release button (instead of the W/T zoom controller). Overall, the buttons and levers are convenient and easy to use.
The right side of the camera (photo on left above) has a sliding door that covers the battery and SD card compartment; the left side (photo on right) has nothing of note.
The bottom of the camera only has the tripod socket (not aligned with the lens).
Image quality is determined by two things on a digital camera: the lens and the sensor/processing electronics. The lens on the V700 appears to be of high quality, with good sharpness edge-to-edge and only minor distortions at the extremes of the zoom range - I observed some barreling in wide angle, but little or no pincushioning at telephoto. Chromatic aberration (purple fringing) is about average for this class of camera.
The sensor and electronics determine how well the individual pixels make up the final picture - a digital photo should have minimal jaggies (the "staircase" appearance of lines that should be straight), minimal noise (the randomly-colored specks that appear when a CCD's light sensitivity is boosted to compensate for low light) and maximum detail (minimal "over-processing" or sharpening). The V700 has no "jaggies" to speak of. Noise appears to be a tad above average for a 7 Megapixel camera, but even at high ISO (see the dance studio photo below, at ISO 400), the noise grain (speckle pattern) is rather fine and not overly objectionable. Even with slightly higher-than-average noise at high ISO, you will still need to make very large prints for it to be a serious problem. The only image quality issue that may give you reason to pause is the "overprocessed" look of the images - they appear excessively sharp and contrasty, rather than smooth and natural. Some people (Kodak digicam users, for example) actually prefer this; I personally do not.
Dance studio 100% crop at ISO 400
Here are some sample images, taken outdoors and indoors at various focal lengths across the zoom range:
Full Wide-Angle (larger) (original)
Full Telephoto (larger) (original)
Using the camera in Auto mode is very simple, and covers most shooting situations. I found the operation took some getting used to, and I've used many digital cameras including Canons, Nikons, Minoltas, Panasonics, Kodaks, HPs. However, once you have mastered the numerous buttons and levers, the camera is quite convenient. The joystick is easy to use and feels comfortable, with positive "click" feedback. Here are some shots of the LCD in both capture and review mode:
(larger) | (larger) |
(larger) | (larger) |
(larger) | (larger) |
(larger) | (larger) |
Samsung claims 280 shots on a charge on average. I was able to achieve about 200 shots and several minutes of video, with judicious use of the LCD and flash, so their figure is realistic. This is rather good for this class of camera.
The V700 is a good digital camera and an exceptional value. Features abound, including ones usually reserved for high-end cameras: Exposure, focus bracketing spot, multi metering, TIFF images, adjustable sharpness, RGB sliders, and a live histogram. Image quality is generally good; the lens is optically excellent but the in-camera processing renders photos a little bit too sharp and contrasty. In addition, noise is above average although the grain (speckling) is fine grained, making it tolerable even at high ISOs. The only big issue is the slow response time, even if you partially depress the shutter in preparation for a shot. If you can live with this, it's a fine choice for an individual or family as a general-purpose camera, especially one that can generate big (11" x 14" and bigger) prints.

'Beast Mode Sausage' is, yes, sausage with Skittles in it
Jay Busbee at Shutdown Corner 1 day agoWell, this is horrifying: a butcher in Seattle is selling sausage stuffed with Skittles in honor of Seattle Seahawks running back and noted Skittles aficionado Marshawn Lynch. It makes absolutely no sense, but then that's about par for the course with anything involving Lynch.
The creation of Blue Max Meats owners Tommy Marshall and Evan Greco, Beast Mode Sausage has brought people to the store in Puyallup, Washington every day for the past year. The owners estimate they've gone through 1,000 pounds of Skittles.
They claim that the sweet Skittles mixes well with the spicy sausage upon cooking, but we're not entirely sure that's anything more than marketing-speak. Regardless, it's done the job, bringing notoriety to the Blue Max name and drawing big attention now that Seattle's back in the Super Bowl.
Lynch himself hasn't yet sampled the sausage, apparently. But even if he did, we wouldn't count on him to spend a lot of time pontificating on its flavor.
Tony Gonzalez: Gronk is the Shaq of the NFL (podcast)
Jay Busbee at Shutdown Corner 1 day agoWelcome to the latest Shutdown Corner podcast! On today's fully-inflated episode, we have:
• An interview with Tony Gonzalez, in which he discloses whether or not he can tell the difference between an inflated and slightly deflated ball, breaks down the Seattle defense, assesses Rob Gronkowski, and reveals whether he'll take Busbee's offer of $20 to return to the Falcons (26:18 mark)
• A look at the madness of Deflate-Gate, including the farcical press conferences of Bill Belichick and Tom Brady (00:35 mark)
• Did Belichick throw Brady under the bus? (16:19 mark)
• Why on earth would the Seahawks taunt Gronkowski? (36:51 mark)

Amy Purdy's drive, Muhammad Ali's quotes spur new Toyota Super Bowl ad
Jay Busbee at Shutdown Corner 1 day agoThe Super Bowl ad march has begun. Catch 'em now so they won't surprise you during the Big Game.
Ad: "How Great I Am," Toyota
Concept: Amy Purdy, "Dancing with the Stars" star and Paralympian snowboarder, goes through the rigor of her day-to-day life — dancing, snowboarding, mountain biking, generally kicking butt — with the help of her trusty Toyota Camry.
Execution: Anything with Muhammad Ali quotes is instantly 20 percent cooler. That's a fact. And the "handcuffed lightning" routine, a sequence he unfurled before the 1974 "Rumble in the Jungle" against George Foreman, is one of his finest. Pair that with a strenuous/glamorous training montage straight out of an '80s movie, and you've got yourself a working, virtually critic-proof combination.
Verdict: Solid. You watch Purdy at work, you hear those lines, you feel that pounding beat ... well, you might not be inspired to buy a Camry, but you'll definitely be inspired to do something .

Prisoner sues NFL for $88 billion over Dez Bryant's overturned catch
Jay Busbee at Shutdown Corner 1 day agoWere it not for Deflate-Gate, we'd probably still be talking about Dez Bryant's overturned catch, the one that helped the Packers defeat Bryant's Cowboys two weeks ago in the NFC Divisional playoffs. But one man, at least, hasn't forgotten, and this man hopes to make the NFL pay for what he sees as a gross miscarriage of justice.
Terry Hendrix, an inmate in a Colorado correctional facility, has filed an $88 billion— that's billion with a "B" — lawsuit against the NFL over the reversal. The total figure is $88,987,654,321.88, with both 88s presumably a reference to Bryant's uniform number.
In his handwritten petition, Hendrix, a prisoner at Fremont Correctional Center in Cañon City, Colorado, seeks the money for reasons including but not limited to "for but not limited to: negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and also wreckless [sic] disregard."
Bad Lip Reading returns; Tony Romo, Cam Newton, more look plain silly
Jay Busbee at Shutdown Corner 2 days agoAt this point, we have to laugh at the NFL to keep from crying. Thankfully, that's where Bad Lip Reading comes in. Just click and enjoy Tony Romo's confusion, Cam Newton's storytelling abilities, and the very creepy proclivities of several of your favorite head coaches. Great stuff.

Marshawn Lynch fined $20K for crotch grab, more fines await
Jay Busbee at Shutdown Corner 3 days agoThe NFL fined Marshawn Lynch $20,000 for his post-touchdown crotch grab in the NFC championship game, and more fines could be forthcoming if Lynch decides to continue his tradition of not talking to reporters.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the NFL is also considering fining Lynch significantly more than the $50,000 for each of the past two seasons for not talking to the media. Lynch again declined to speak on Sunday after the NFC tiel game.
Lynch, along with the rest of the Seahawks, is slated for media availability on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week. If he goes with his usual repeat-a-single-phrase routine, the Super Bowl trip could end up being a significant hit to his wallet. NFL officials said that each session in which Lynch declined to speak would accrue an escalating fine, with the initial fine to be more than $50,000.

Captain America, Star-Lord do battle over Super Bowl loyalties
Jay Busbee at Shutdown Corner 3 days agoLooks like the great Avengers-Guardians of the Galaxy crossover is happening a few years earlier than expected. Chris Evans, who plays Captain America, and Chris Pratt, who plays Star-Lord, have engaged in a very public battle for bragging supremacy over this year's Super Bowl matchup.
Evans is a Patriots fan, naturally, and Pratt is a Seahawks devotee, and the two fired back and forth at each other over Twitter on Wednesday:
Well, well, well @prattprattpratt, looks like our teams are going into battle. For the next 2 weeks, you are not my friend, you are my enemy
@ChrisEvans We both know there's only one Captain America and his name is Russell Wilson. #SuperBowlBound #LOB #Repeat
@ChrisEvans Humiliate my Seahawks? Maybe talk to Brady about deflating your expectations. BOOM! (legion of) You're on sucka. 😊
Patriots' Brandon Browner strikes back at deflate-gate
Jay Busbee at Shutdown Corner 3 days agoWell, you knew this was going to happen. New England Patriots fans have defended their team with rabid intensity against the allegations of deflate-gate, and now actual Patriots are stepping into the fray as well. Cornerback Brandon Browner is apparently the first player to speak up in the wake of allegations of deflated footballs, and he's done so with an instant classic:
For my 2cents Blount scored 3 rushing touchdowns. He could've carried a beach ball. Also doesn't hurt we only gave up 7 points #inflatethis
If #inflatethis isn't on T-shirts across New England by Thursday, we're going to be disappointed in you, Boston.
Browner is focusing on the results of the game, and he's right; the Patriots could have played with cinder blocks and still beaten Indy by three TDs. What drives Patriots opponents crazy is the intent to (allegedly) cheat ... that, and the question of what nefarious deeds the team may have gotten away with scot-free.

Victoria's Secret models play football in new ad
Jay Busbee at Shutdown Corner 3 days agoThe Super Bowl ads and ad promotions are starting to trickle in, and here's one from Victoria's Secret. It features all your favorite Victoria's Secret models playing football and ... and you're not even reading this anymore, are you?
Anyway, the actual Victoria's Secret ad airs after the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl, so watch for that. And yes, everyone has already made that deflated-balls joke that you're thinking of right now.

Are the Seahawks the greatest defense in NFL history? (Video)
Jay Busbee at Shutdown Corner 3 days agoWith the pain and misery of the Packers' NFC Championship collapse fading in the distance, we can now turn our attention to one of the marquee elements of this year's Super Bowl: the Seattle Seahawks defense. Led by the Legion of Boom secondary, the Seahawks were the top-ranked defense in the NFL this year, but how do they stack up against great Ds of the past? Do the Seahawks even have a prayer against the '85 Bears, the Steel Curtain, or the 2000-era Ravens?

Generic Name: oxcarbazepine (ox kar BAY zeh peen)
Brand Names: Oxtellar XR, Trileptal
What is Trileptal?
Trileptal (oxcarbazepine) is in a group of drugs called anticonvulsants, or antiepileptic drugs. It works by decreasing nerve impulses that cause seizures.
Trileptal is used to treat partial seizures in adults and children who are at least 2 years old.
Trileptal may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Important information
Trileptal is used to treat partial seizures in adults and children who are at least 2 years old.
Trileptal can reduce the sodium in your body to dangerously low levels, which can cause a life-threatening electrolyte imbalance. Contact your doctor right away if you have headache, problems with thinking or memory, weakness, loss of appetite, feeling unsteady, confusion, hallucinations, fainting, shallow breathing, and/or increased or more severe seizures.
Report any new or worsening symptoms to your doctor, such as: mood or behavior changes, anxiety, panic attacks, trouble sleeping, or if you feel impulsive, irritable, agitated, hostile, aggressive, restless, hyperactive (mentally or physically), more depressed, or have thoughts about suicide or hurting yourself.
Before taking this medicine
You should not take Trileptal if you are allergic to oxcarbazepine.
To make sure you can safely take Trileptal, tell your doctor if you have:
liver disease;
kidney disease; or
if you are allergic to a similar medicine called carbamazepine (Carbatrol, Tegretol).
Some young people have thoughts about suicide when first taking an antidepressant. Your doctor will need to check your progress at regular visits while you are using Trileptal. Your family or other caregivers should also be alert to changes in your mood or symptoms.
FDA pregnancy category C. Do not start or stop taking Trileptal during pregnancy without your doctor's advice. Having a seizure during pregnancy could harm both mother and baby. Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant while taking Trileptal for seizures.
See also: Pregnancy and breastfeeding warnings (in more detail)
If you are pregnant, your name may be listed on a pregnancy registry. This is to track the outcome of the pregnancy and to evaluate any effects of Trileptal on the baby.
Trileptal can make birth control pills less effective. Ask your doctor about using a non hormone method of birth control (such as a condom, diaphragm, spermicide) to prevent pregnancy while taking Trileptal.
Oxcarbazepine can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. You should not breast-feed while you are taking Trileptal.
Do not give this medication to a child younger than 2 years old.
How should I take Trileptal?
Take Trileptal exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Follow all directions on your prescription label. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results. Do not take this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Take Trileptal with a full glass of water.
Shake the oral suspension (liquid) well just before you measure a dose. To be sure you get the correct dose, use the oral dosing syringe provided with this medicine. If you did not receive an oral syringe with your medication, ask your pharmacist for one.
Give the oral liquid directly from the oral syringe, or mix the medicine with a small glass of water. After using the syringe, rinse it with water and allow it to air dry.
Use Trileptal regularly to get the most benefit. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of medicine completely.
Do not stop using Trileptal suddenly, even if you feel fine. Stopping suddenly may cause increased seizures.
While using Trileptal, you may need blood tests at your doctor's office. Visit your doctor regularly.
Wear a medical alert tag or carry an ID card stating that you take Trileptal. Any medical care provider who treats you should know that you are using this medicine.
Seizures are often treated with a combination of drugs. Use all medications as directed by your doctor. Read the medication guide or patient instructions provided with each medication. Do not change your doses or medication schedule without your doctor's advice.
Store Trileptal at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Throw away any unused liquid 7 weeks after opening the bottle.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222.
What should I avoid?
Avoid becoming overheated or dehydrated during exercise and in hot weather. Follow your doctor's instructions about the type and amount of liquids you should drink. In some cases, drinking too much liquid can be as unsafe as not drinking enough.
Trileptal may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be alert.
Drinking alcohol can increase certain side effects of Trileptal. Alcohol may also increase the risk of seizures.
Trileptal side effects
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction to Trileptal: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Trileptal can reduce the sodium in your body to dangerously low levels, which can cause a life-threatening electrolyte imbalance. Contact your doctor right away if you have headache, trouble concentrating, memory problems, weakness, loss of appetite, feeling unsteady, confusion, hallucinations, fainting, shallow breathing, and/or increased or more severe seizures.
Report any new or worsening symptoms to your doctor, such as: mood or behavior changes, depression, anxiety, or if you feel agitated, hostile, restless, hyperactive (mentally or physically), or have thoughts about suicide or hurting yourself.
Call your doctor at once if you have:
increased seizures;
swollen glands, fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms, sores in your mouth and throat;
easy bruising, unusual bleeding (nose, mouth, vagina, or rectum), purple or red pinpoint spots under your skin;
severe tingling, numbness, pain, muscle weakness;
urinating less than usual or not at all;
chest pain, dry cough, wheezing, feeling short of breath;

Common Trileptal side effects may include:
headache, mental slowness, trouble concentrating;
problems with speech, balance, or walking;
dizziness, drowsiness, tired feeling;
mild nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, diarrhea;
blurred vision, double vision;
tremors or shaking; or

This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
See also: Side effects (in more detail)
What other drugs will affect Trileptal?
Tell your doctor about all medicines you use, and those you start or stop using during your treatment with Trileptal, especially:
valproic acid; or
This list is not complete and there are many other drugs that can interact with Trileptal. Tell your doctor about all medications you use.

RIP Yankee Candle. Your candles are not producing much scent. I have to switch to something else. Also not impressed that you do not offer a coupon or personal response to my concern. An automated response with no incentive for me to stay is not great. I wll have to go somewhere else.
Spiced Pumpkin is so warm and inviting. The pumpkin blends well with the spices especially cinnamon and brown sugar. It's not too heavy on pumpkin, and that's why I like it so much. It doesn't smell too "Food like"
This along with my favorite North Pole and Sparkling Cinnamon are staples for the holiday season in my home. I use Tarts, scent plugs, reed diffusers, room spray and car jar also. Love it.
I was wanting a pumpkin candle for the Fall Season and this one caught my attention. This has scents of pumpkins baked in simmering spices of clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon, and sweetened with brown sugar blend. I love the way it smells, only it isn't strong enough after burning. I like that it comes with a metal lid. I have the 7oz, which is 35 - 45 hours of burn time.

Hello list, I have the pleasure to inform you that, thanks to the help of Xavier Neys and Kurt Lieber, the GLSA-feed located at http://www.gentoo.org/rdf/en/glsa-index.rdf now supports the limitation of GLSA-entries by appending "?num=n" to the URL, where "n" needs to be replaced with the number of entries you want. For example "http://www.gentoo.org/rdf/en/glsa-index.rdf?num=20" will list the last 20 GLSAs - I'm sure you understand the idea behind it. Of course the feed will behave like in the past if called without any parameters, but you might want to update your bots or aggregators accordingly to reduce your load.
