Unbiased Reviews by Real People
Sometimes movies are just meant to be fun. They arent supposed to educate, commentate or inform. Youre just supposed to sit back and enjoy the flick. Many times, these films are considered to be of lesser quality than their deeper counterparts. I would never suggest that Fletch is as monumental of a film as The Godfather. However, I enjoyed both of them immensely. National Lampoon's Animal House is a similar type of film. The Delta House entertained, grossed us out and reeked havoc upon the Faber campus without so much as an apology and god bless them for it. Animal House focuses on the educational pursuits of the students at fictional Faber College. We follow them from the library, to the classroom, to the lecture circuit with plenty of poetry readings and protests to pass the time. They are all high quality individuals who are looking to learn and enrich their lives via the college experience. FOOD FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whoa, Im not quite sure what happened there. Actually, Animal House focuses on many of the other, less studious, aspects of the college experience. There is drinking, drinking, and more drinking. There are some pranks included as well as a few parties and some good nature hazing just to top the movie off. We begin the film with Larry (Tom Hulce) and Kent (Stephen Furst) trying to pledge a fraternity on campus. They have no luck at the uptight Omega house, but luckily they stumble upon the Delta house. Kents brother was a member, so hes sure to get in. At least, thats what he thinks. The Deltas are clearly the party fraternity and the guys love the exciting atmosphere. The Delta house is made up of several unique characters. There is the playboy, Otter (Tim Matheson), the loser, Bluto (John Belushi), the immature guy, Boon (Peter Riegert) and the rebel, D-Day (Bruce McGill). They get through college doing the bare minimum. They cheat on tests during the day and party during the night. Unbeknownst to the Deltas, they are placed on double secret probation by the crusty old Dean Wormer (John Vernon). He enlists some of the Omegas to help bring down the Delta house. The Deltas are no match for the Omegas and are quickly banished from campus. In a final assault against the establishment, they plot to disrupt the schools homecoming parade and prove to be supremely successful. If it doesnt sound like much happens in Animal House, youd be right. However, that doesnt mean that it isnt an entertaining film. In fact, its probably one of the funniest films ever. There a too many hilarious scenes to describe, but needless to say, you want to take special interest in the opening moments when all of the characters are introduced as well as the trip to the sister college for a night out for the boys. The cast of Animal House is made up of many stars, while well known now, were relative unknowns at the time. However, everyone seems right at home in his or her roles. John Belushi has perhaps his best role as the drunkard Bluto. Hes gross, fat and strangely lovable. He doesnt have a lot of lines, but the ones he has are definite classics Grab a brew, dont cost nothin They took the bar! The whole ****** bar And of course his scenes in the cafeteria and the Pearl Harbor speech are worth the price of the entire movie. Tim Matheson is wonderful as the hypersexual rush captain Otter whos always looking for the big score. Tom Hulce and Stephen Furst play the freshmen rushies with such innocence and sweetness that you can almost picture yourself in their place. There are too many supporting roles to completely analyze all of them. Rest assured, they are all top notch. Donald Sutherland is great as the pot head professor, Karen Allen plays the long suffering girlfriend of Boon with such glee and sweetness, James Daughtons performance as the smarmy Greg Marmalard is great and John Vernons Dean Womer is as underhanded as is possible yet still hilarious to watch. The real geniuses of Animal House may be both John Landis and Harold Ramis. Landis directs the film perfectly, making sure that each actor gets the appropriate screen time and getting perfect performances out of each of him or her. Ramis, along with his co-writers, has written the perfect gross out comedy. Sure, this film spawned many a poor clone. However, when perfection is achieved it should be celebrated and Ramis has achieved it. In 2003, Animal House finally received the treatment that it deserved. The Double Secret Probation Edition was released. You could finally throw away your VCR tape or old bare bones DVD copy and experience something new. The new version is a drastic improvement and as close as you can get to perfection without quite reaching it. The first thing you will notice if that the film is presented in widescreen. Sure, a pan and scan version is also available, but do yourself a favor and pick up the widescreen version. The quality of the picture has been improved, as has the sound. There are four features that are included with the disc: 1)MXPX video of Shout, 2)Where Are They Now? A Delta Alumni Update, 3)The Yearbook: An Animal House Reunion, 4)Did You Know That? (Universal Animated Anecdotes). The video is forgettable unless you are a fan of MXPX. The Where Are They Now? feature has good intentions, but falls flat. It focuses on the characters current lives and careers. Unfortunately, the writing is poor so it really comes off looking more sad than funny. The Yearbook is basically a making of special and it does offer several neat tidbits about the characters and the inspiration of the film. The Did You Know That? section functions as the films commentary. It does offer some insight into the film. However, I would have preferred to hear from Ramis, Landis and others personally speaking about their experiences and feelings about the film. Animal House is one of my all-time favorite movies. Its so funny and holds up well over time. The DVD version has been restored so the picture quality is excellent which improves the viewing experience. The extras are nice and do offer plenty of insight into the film. Animal House is just too funny not to recommend and it is a must for any fan classic comedies. Dont be afraid to pick it for yourself or for someone else, theyll thank you for it.

John Duggan is an assistant collection manager with a deep interest in Australian Aboriginal artefacts, traditional hunting and gathering techniques and technology.
John commenced working at Museum Victoria in the Bunjilaka Aboriginal Cultural Centre, where he conducted tours of the Aboriginal exhibitions, delivered Indigenous cultural workshops and presented community-sourced exhibitions.
John's work in the Humanities Department now supports access to the physical collections, for conservation and photography, research projects (such as the major Spencer & Gillen project), publications, exhibitions and loans. John also facilitates access to collections for community visitors who wish to view their cultural objects. As the Indigenous Collection is stored in multiple locations, safely moving objects, tracking and updating the catalogue, registration and documentation, rehousing and barcoding objects are routine and essential tasks.
John has also spent time in New South Wales where his family originate, on Kamilaroi Country, working with the Country, Culture and Heritage Department on repatriation of Ancestral Remains, conducting site surveys and cataloguing regional archaeological surface collections.
John considers himself very fortunate to be in this position and considers caring for the Indigenous Collection both an honour and a privilege. He often draws strength from the collection and is inspired by the great craftsmanship employed to produce these objects from traditional times. This, combined with his ongoing studies in Australian archaeology have led John to pursue making knapped stone tools for exhibition, publication, developing teaching reference kits for universities and for teaching the traditional cultural practice of stone tool manufacture through workshops which he has delivered in Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia and Queensland.

Hi - Yes, the forsythia is all blooming now. I am ready for spring too! Thanks,Mistee |
During the winter I get kinda down and then when Spring comes I get so happy! I'm not really bipolar but the seasons really affect my mood! I know other gardeners must also feel this buzzing anticipation when Spring is just around the corner! :) |
For me, SOONER is better than LATER .............. |
Really? Are you sure??? ... LOL This winter has seemed like the longest I can remember. Maybe it's because of so many cold days when we haven't been able to get outside and play as much as usual in our oft times mild San Antonio 'winters'. I'm ready! |
Yesterday certainly felt like Spring to me! |

Finally. Seems that this winter was the longest and I moved 180 miles further south in Texas. Interestingly, my montezuma cypress is already leafing out. |

Well the first sign is usually the mountain laurels budding then blooming followed by mesquites coming into leaf. I wouldn't start pulling anything outside just yet. Bob Webster took a call where the guy had his tomatoes out. |
Up here in Denton County we have about a week of nice weather.. then next Sunday we get more winter. I've pulled my potted plants out of the garage to the driveway to water and sun them for a few days. I will be moving them all back in next Saturday. |

It ain't over 'til Mother Nature sings! Everything's pretty zapped here, much looks dead. Only the Rosemary has some blooms. And the Arizona Ash has tiny green buds, but judging by the reaction (or lack of any) by the bees, it's not blooming yet. I'm feeding a sugar-water mixture to bees, because they're starving...and to keep them away from the hummingbird's feeder. Also I'm feeding a few winter butterflies, who can survive on old fruit. Bees like the fruit also. |

Champions Online will release its second Adventure Pack this October. Titled "Demonflame," this brand new adventure is available to solo or co-op players level 11 – 40, and offers an all-new realm to explore. The add-on promises to scale the challenge to player levels.
According to the game lore: Twenty years ago, Luther Black used the full power of his DEMON organization to initiate the "Demonflame incident." Through magic and human sacrifice (It just wouldn't be a party without some good old human sacrifice, would it?) he created a tower of flames that rose into the sky, and at its peak he attempted a ritual to open the doors between worlds and drain the power of the Qliphothic entity known as "Sharna-Gorak the Destroyer." He was stopped by a combined force of brave superheroes and, shockingly, VIPER. Luther Black's plan was foiled, and the tower disappeared.
Apparently, though, 15 minutes in the corner didn't teach Mr. Black his lesson and he's at it again. Does your hero have what it takes to shut Luther Black down for good, or will he succeed in imbuing himself with the eldritch powers of the Qliphothic realm?

Taliaferro (/ˈtɒlɪvər/ TOL-i-vər), also spelled Tagliaferro, Talifero, Tellifero, Tolliver, or Toliver,[1] is a prominent family in eastern Virginia and Maryland. The Taliaferros (originally Tagliaferro, Italian pronunciation: [ˌtaʎʎaˈfɛrro], which means "ironcutter" in Italian) are one of the early families who settled in Virginia in the 17th century. They migrated from London, where an ancestor had served as a musician in the court of Queen Elizabeth I. The surname in that line is believed to trace back to Bartholomew Taliaferro, a native of Venice who settled in London and was made a denizen in 1562.[2]
The origins of the Taliaferro name were of interest to George Wythe, Virginia colonial lawyer and classical scholar, who had married a Taliaferro. Wythe urged his former student and friend Thomas Jefferson to investigate the name when Jefferson traveled to Italy. Jefferson later reported to Wythe that he had found two families of the name in Tuscany, and that the family was of Italian origin.[3] Jefferson enclosed his sketch of the coat-of-arms of the Tagliaferro family as reported to him by a friend in Florence, Italy.[4]

Tanacetum balsamita L. |
Tanacetum balsamita, or Balsamita vulgaris, is a perennial temperate herb known as costmary, alecost, balsam herb, bible leaf, or mint geranium.
The costmary is a perennial with oval serrated leaves and can grow up to 2 meters high. During summer it shows small yellow button shaped blossoms which appear in clusters.[1]
The English name costmary stems from costus of Saint Mary. Also, in other languages, it is associated with the virgin Mary, most probably because it is sometimes used to treat women's diseases.[1]
Origin and spread[edit]
The plant seems to have originated in the Mediterranean. It is unclear whether the plant called "balsamita" described by Columella in 70 AD is the same. According to Heinrich Marzell, it was first mentioned in 812 in a plant catalogue. Costmary was widely grown since the medieval times in herb gardens until the late 19th and early centuries for medical purposes. Nowadays it has mostly disappeared in Europe, but is still widely used in southwest Asia.[1] It was used in medieval times as a place marker in bibles. It is referred to by Nicholas Culpeper and others[who?] as the 'balsam herb'. [1]
Medical uses and composition[edit]
In medieval times, costmary was used for menstruation problems. In the 18th century, it was classified as laxative, against stomach problems and as astringent. It was recommend against melancholy and hysteria as well as dysentery and against gallbladder disease.[1] Leaves of the plant have been found to contain a range of essential oils. A Spanish study found the oil includes carvone as the main component (51.5%, 41.0% and 56.9% in three samples), together with minor amounts of beta-thujone, t-dihydrocarvone, c-dihydrocarvone, dihydrocarveol isomer c-carveol and t-carveol. It is noteworthy that levels of beta-thujone, a toxic ketone, were 9.8%, 12.5% and 12.1% in the respective samples. [2]
The plant is known from ancient herbals and was widely grown in Elizabethan knot gardens.
Nicholas Culpeper says of costmary: [3] It is under the dominion of Jupiter. The ordinary costmary, as well as maudlin, provokes urine abundantly, and softens the hardness of the mother; it gently purgeth choler and phlegm, extenuating that which is gross, and cutting that which is tough and glutinous, cleanseth that which is foul, and prevents putrefaction ; it openeth obstructions and relieves their bad effects, and it is beneficial in all sorts of dry agues. It is astringent to the stomach, and strengtheneth the livers other viscera : and taken in whey, worketh more effectively. Taken fasting in the morning, it relieves chronic pains in the head, and to stay, dry up, and consume all their rheums or distillations from the head into the stomach, a much to digest raw humours gathered therein, It is profitable for those that are fallen into a continual evil disposition of the body, called cachexy, especially in beginning of the disease. It is good for weak and cold livers. The seed is given to children for worms, and so is the infusion of flowers in white wine, about two ounces at a time. It maketh an excellent salve to heal old ulcers, being boiled with oil of olive, and adder's tongue with it; and after is strained, put in a little wax, rosin, and turpentine to make it as thick as required.

NASA Chat First SpaceBound Orion Arrives At Kennedy Video

On Monday, July 2, NASA officials answered questions about the Orion spacecraft in a live television broadcast from followers of NASA's social media accounts. NASA's Orion program reached a major milestone on June 28, 2012, when the first space-bound Orion crew capsule arrived at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Construction on the spacecraft was finished at NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in Louisiana this week, and final outfitting and heat shield installation will take place at KSC. The Orion spacecraft will carry astronauts farther into the solar system than ever before. It will provide emergency abort capability, sustain the crew during the space travel and provide safe re-entry from deep space. This spacecraft will fly on Exploration Flight Test-1, an unmanned test that is scheduled two years from now.

The Dead Don't Always Stay Buried: Chapter 2 In The Last Chapter... Would he go through with this plan? If he did, Kakashi knew it was his job to stop him even if it meant killing him. "Goodbye, Uchiha Madara." He said out into the night, knowing that Obito would hear him. "The next time we meet again won't be so pleasant."The Dead Don't Always Stay Buried: Chapter 2 by Eclipse-The-Awesome
Kakashi sighed softly to himself and stepped back from the window, letting his hand trail off the sill before his arm swung limply to his side. After a moment, he reached out and slammed the window shut. He pulled his headband back down over his red eye to block the double-vision from his end, just in case. He replaced his cloth mask over his mouth and nose, returning to the kitchen to clean up after himself.
'Well, that went splendidly,' he snarked, the angry thought directed more to himself than anyone else. Half an hour later saw him heading to Hokage Tower, a report of the incident already written up minus his in

Hello. The back of my leg/back of my
is very sore, and it
like the tendons are too short and I'm inclined to resist straightening my leg. It feels hot (swollen?) and is a little painfull. I am not athletic, and this is not an exercise injury. I do garden, however (lots of heave hoeing). And my knee is what I call a bit "wonkey" ie gets swollen sometimes around the knee cap and there's definitely creaking when I go up stairs.

About 4-5 years ago I felt a sharp tearing/popping sensation in my left
after a twisting
. The initial pain faded within about 20-30 minutes; however in the coming weeks and months I had first numbness and then inflammation particularly when on my feet for a long time. It was at first on the right side of my knee where I believe the meniscus is, but it now moves around frequently. It is now to the point where my knee constantly feels stiff and unsteady.

I was recently diagnosed with arthritis in my Right
. I am 34 years old and was wondering if there is anything I can do for it and my back. A Doctor I saw in PA said they will not do anything for my knee because I am to young. I was told to just quit walking up or down hills and steps.(at the time I lived in the Mountains of PA in a Cape cod style house. So that was a little hard. Plus I have 2 kids. 12 and 8.) I have just moved to a 1 floor house in FL and the pain is worse sometimes.

Right after the news story hit the Houston media about the new no-chase policy for minor traffic infractions, Richard Ramos, 35 decided to take advantage of the situation. When a Houston County Sheriff squad car signaled Ramos to pull over, he just floored it and sped away. But the sheriff pursued and caught him, informing him that the no-chase policy was only for the Harris County Sheriffs.
Another Houston man, Michael Kubosh, decided to challenge the redlight camera (RLC) system in court because a police officer doesn't witness the violation. But when Kubosh purposely ran a red light two Houston cops in an unmarked car saw him do it and gave him with a $200 ticket with 3 points. The RLC ticket would have cost $75 with no points.
When a police officer in Boca Raton FL pulled over a motorist to scold him for exhibiting road rage behavior, the driver thought it strange that a deputy sheriff would have his girlfriend in the car. The cop explained that he was off duty, but the suspicious motorist called 911 anyway. It didn't take but a minute for a real cop to arrive, and the fake cop was found to a phony-and actually he was a she. Rachel Otto, 21, was arrested for impersonating an officer, and the girlfriend-who had been living with Otto for a week-had no idea Otto was female. Otto also had a rap sheet for 9 previous arrests for posing as police officers.

Cynthia and Terry Archer still live in Milford, Connecticut, not far from the old Bigge house on Hickory Street. With a solid marriage and a young daughter, the Archers seem on track for a successful future. But the questions raised by Cynthia's past still haunt her, and her obsession with finding the answers threatens to destroy everything they've worked for. For Cynthia, there can be no closure until she finds out why her family disappeared - and how they could have left her behind.
Terry thinks the segment on the popular TV crime-stopper program Deadline is a mistake. But his wife hopes that someone watching will have a lead to her missing family. Sure enough, it's Cynthia who spots the strange car cruising the neighborhood, hears the untraceable phone calls, and discovers the ominous "gifts." And as Cynthia's nerves begin to unravel, no one's innocence is guaranteed, not even her own.
By the time the first body is found, it's clear that her past is more of a mystery than she ever imagined - or may ever survive. Someone has returned to this Connecticut town to finish what was started 25 years ago. And by the time Terry and Cynthia discover the killer's shocking identity, it will be too late even for goodbye.
©2007 Linwood Barclay; (P)2007 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"Skilled characterization and convincing dialogue." (Publishers Weekly)
"No Time for Goodbye just flies off the page. It's a one-sit thriller. You sit down with this book and you won't get up until you've turned the last page." (Michael Connelly)
"A mystery masterpiece is read by a master narrator." (AudioFile)
maui girl
"I truy enjoyed this book!"
I was engaged from the first soundbye. The author does a fine job of creating twists and turns that are entirely plausible. That doesn't happen as often as one might think in the realm of the mystery books. I know most will find this book a great escape.
Don't know what I want to be when I grow up. Trip's cool though. Use Audible to make gym-training sane... And rip my imagination.
Every male (I can't use the word "man") in NTFG is built around a spine that's wispier than stuff Victoria's Secret uses to make panties. Think of the word "manly" then think of its most extreme opposite. There, you've described every male character in this book.
Actually the mystery here is interesting, and adequately worked out. But these panty-waist guys are so weak… no "weak" is to these creatures is like using the word "dull" to describe Uncle Dan's family slide show. Barclay's women are shrews, his males pansies and this story what happens when the word man is surgically separated from the word testosterone.
As for Christopher Lane… I guess this was work. We all need to make a buck, and this chore was probably better than digging ditches in winter during a storm.
"This is a real cliff hanger right to the end"
I really enjoyed this book. The plot twists and turns clear to the very end. Every time you think you have everything figured out another twist pops up. Yes, there is even a cliff involved.
The story is about a 14 year old girl that wakes up to find the rest of her family has disappeared without a trace. Most of the events take place 25 years later with Cin trying to figure out what really happened to them.
"No Time for Goodbye gets 5*s all around"
I have so many books in my library I have a hard time rating them on order but I would say it falls in the top half.
The best part of this book is that it's conclusion is so far off from what you think it's going to be. Good plot with some really good twists and high tension.
Christopher Lane did a great job on all
Not extreme but melancholy. Linwood Barclay tends to put these zingers in at the very end and the last maybe 4 - 5 minutes get you every time.
This is a really good listen. I wasn't sure I was going to like it. The first part of the book starts out with the disappearance of a family minus the daughter. Her life is spent looking for them and wondering why they just up and moved with out her. I thought it was a little hokey but then as people started to get involved in the hunt for the family they started getting murdered and then it just kept getting better and better with one heck of a conclusion that will knock your socks off. It's worth the credit!
Like mainly mystery and suspense with a bit of chick lit and non-fiction thrown in. Severe addiction going on 10 years to Audiobooks.
"Another Solid Barclay Novel"
Once again Barclay has done it. It was a good story, kept me guessing and had good characters. What more can you ask for in a mystery? I think the best thing about Barclay is that you can start with any one of the books. They are not all centered around one detective or group of characters. They are all different and all good. This was the last one on Audible so Barclay better keep writing!
"Well worth the time."
No Time for Goodbye was a great listen. Suspenseful, well written with good plot twists, but not annoying plot twists. There were a few great secondary characters. I particularly enjoyed the student, Jane, and the thug. The narrator was good, my only criticism would be the Jimmy Stewart imitation for Clayton Bigg and the German accent for the psychiatrist. I found these two a bit distracting, fortunately, they didn't get a great deal of air time. Overall, I really enjoyed it and will definitely listen to another Linwood Barclay book.
"Still a great book.."
Living overseas, in a land where English-language books were very difficult to come by, I found myself reading all kinds of books I probably wouldn't have picked, had there been more options. I remember picking this book up, having never heard of either it or the author, and not having high expectations. Boy, I was wrong.
I was captivated from the first page -- the story moves along at breakneck speed, and not for quite a while can you even begin to imagine how such a thing could have happened: a teenage girl wakes up after a late night with her boyfriend, and finds that the rest of her family has simply disappeared, gone, without a trace. In spite of all the investigations and publicity at the time, nothing is ever discovered. The family just disappeared.
At some point, Barclay allows us to see how the solution to the puzzle could have occurred -- only things are never quite that simple.
So back then, years ago, in a country far away, I remember finishing the book, putting it down with a "Huh! Didn't see THAT coming..." and after wiping a few tears off my face, thinking, 'Wow. What a book!'
It IS quite a book. Still is. It's not Great Literature, maybe, but in terms of genre, one of the best. As an Audible book, this one was especially good because of the narrator, Christopher Lane. He narrates with exactly the right intonation -- sort of a befuddled-but-tolerant father figure, which is exactly right. Perfect for Terry Archer, a mild mannered wry-humored English teacher, husband of Cynthia Bigge, who was the teenager who lost her family. Archer never experienced any of the mystery himself, but nevertheless, he's the one who has coped with Cynthia's lifelong struggle with her loss. When things start to happen, it falls to him to figure it out.
To say much of anything more could spoil it, so I won't. Just know that this is a really good listen.
I am usually pretty good at figuring out mysteries, but this book kept me in suspense until the end. Barclay does a great job of dropping little clues throughout the story to ratchet up the suspense.
"Hooked from the first chapter."
This book draws you in deeper and deeper from the first chapter. Just when you think you've got it figured out, WOW what a shocking ending. One of the best books I've heard. Highly recommended listen!
A few must reads: Mr. Mercedes, Narrows Gate, Cop Town, Bomb Proof, Wayfaring Stranger, The Son (Nesbo), Dept Q series...
"Fantastic Narration Lifts This To 4 Stars"
This is a fascinating mystery, filled with tragedy and frustration. A young teenager wakes up to find her family gone without a trace. No spoilers but suffice to say the story is unique and clever.
Christopher Lane gives life and personality to each character as well as any narrator on Audible. I was so impressed that I looked to see his other works and found 3 or 4 in my library. One of my favorites, Death On A High Floor, has to be one of the most difficult books to narrate with it's dominating characters. He was sterling there and he is again here.
There are intriguing and charismatic characters in the story, the principal and the gangster especially. There's quick, clever banter that makes the tragedy more entertaining.
But there's also a side story that really should have little bearing, yet becomes a key element in unravelling the mysteries. I am still puzzled why it was there at all.
So it's a 3 star novel with a 5 star performance.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

How many person are suffering Arthritic, Bone & Joint diseases?
I am one of them. Need Treatment...
Hi magnuson,
Sorry to hear you are suffering from arthritis. My husband also has it in his back. Don't know what sort of treatment there is, though he is on some medication for it that helps the pain. Not sure the name of the medication as he takes a handful of pills for all the other ailments he has.
Very nice.. but when you will get name of medication as he takes then please define here......
Where are you guy?
In the early 1990s I was diagnosed with cervical spondaloysis and curvature of the spine. I'm on something like Tylenol with codeine. I live in England so my treatment is different than in the states. Do the tablets help? Sometimes. I use heat or cold on my neck.
Magnus, are you asking for yourself or are you about to recommend treatment. I see the onlinephar as part of you 'name'. When you signal up to this forum you agreed not to sell things here. Sorry if I sound suspicious but as a moderator I have to keep watch for this problem.

Factors that may contribute include joint injury, increasing age, and being overweight.In addition, osteoarthritis can sometimes be caused by other factors: 1.The joints may not have formed properly. 2.There may be genetic (inherited) defects in the cartilage. 3.The person may be putting extra stress on his or her joints, either by being overweight or through activities that involve the hip.Symptoms of Osteoarthritis of the Hip?If you have any of the following symptoms of hip osteoarthritis, talk to your doctor: 1.Joint stiffness that occurs as you are getting out of bed 2.Joint stiffness after you sit for a long time 3.Any pain, swelling, or tenderness in the hip joint 4.A sound or feeling ("crunching") of bone rubbing against bone 5.Inability to move the hip to perform routine activities such as putting on your socksHow Is Osteoarthritis of the Hip Diagnosed?There is no single test for diagnosing osteoarthritis, but often it is diagnosed by an abnormal X-ray that shows characteristic features such as narrowing of the joint and spurring of the joint margins. Your doctor will take your medical history and perform a physical examination. This will include a check of how your hip is functioning and may uncover loss of motion.
"Arthritic changes" is vet-speak for abnormalities to the joint, attributable to inflammation, that are apparent upon X-ray examination of the joint.Arthritis starts out as an inflammation to the surface of a bone associated with a joint. Arthritis can be the response to an acute injury, such as a bone fracture of some kind or a cartilage tear; it can be the response to a chronic condition of overuse or overstress, such as a horse that performs repetitive stressful activities, it can be a response to infection of the joint or it can be a result of normal wear-and-tear, such as a horse in its twenties that has gradually become arthritic.
Osteoarthritis can sometimes be caused by other factors: 1.The joints may not have formed properly. 2.There may be genetic (inherited) defects in the cartilage. 3.The person may be putting extra stress on his or her joints, either by being overweight or through activities that involve the hip.

We have a tree in our backyard that every year has these plant like weeds that grow in the mulch and the surrounding area. I am including a link to a pic I took tonight. I would obviously like to figure out what this is and how I get rid of it. Please help!! |

You didn't mention what kind of tree these grow around, but they look very much like root-sprouts from the tree itself. A number of trees will do this. Compare the leaves of the 'weeds' to the leaves of the tree. They may not look exactly the same, but are they very similar in the details? If so, there isn't a lot you can do to 'fix' this. But the mulch circle you have around the tree is very small. You could dig down some in this small area, put down heavy plastic, and then mulch this small circle more heavily. Won't interfere with your tree's growth because the area is so small. The roots involved in uptake will be beyond this circle. The other ones, in the area that is being mowed anyways, just ignore them. Mow them down as you mow the grass. Linda |
We aren't sure exactly what kind of tree it is but my wife thinks it's a pear tree. How do root sprouts grown? Is this from something dropping off the leaves or something to do with the tree roots? |
- Posted by lisanti07028 z6NJ (My Page) on Wed, Jun 15, 11 at 21:56
They are sort of like suckers from a lilac; cut them off just under the ground. New ones will probably keep coming, though. |
Here is a link that might be useful: about root sprouts
- Posted by linda_schreiber z5/6 MI (My Page) on Wed, Jun 15, 11 at 22:08
The tree roots just keep developing new above-ground 'sprouts'. Happens with a number of ornamental trees, especially ornamental fruit trees. In the morning, compare the leaves. If possible, send a photo of the tree's leaves. I really think you are dealing with root sprouts here, not weeds. If they were weeds, they would be in other areas of the yard as well. If they only keep recurring under and around this tree.... Then, yep. |

I'm no longer the mod leader of this project
EMPIRE mod for Victoria 2
So what is Empire mod? It is a mod for Victoria 2 which gives you an extra 135 years of gameplay from 1701 to 1936. This new timeline gives you two new eras to playthrough, the 18th century enlightenment and the Napoleonic era (although obviously Napoleon Bonaparte will be notably absent for ahistorical reasons). Your overall strategy will be to become the number 1 ranked nation in the world and stay that way for as long as possible although you will certainly be able to play to your own goals if you so choose, especially if playing as a minor nation like Sumatra, Anhalt or the Papal States. The government types available in Vicky 2 has been expanded to give a wider variety if flavour to politics. Democracy is gone replaced with a variety of republics ranging from constitutional republics, merchant republics, noble republics, crowned republics and even the swiss style cantonical republic. There are new events covering the enlightenment period and a new dynamic tech tree which allows technologies to progress naturally rather than be constrained by historical year. POP promotion has changed so no more rich farmers suddenly becoming aristocrats. Farmers can move to craftsmen but only when there are modern type factories available for them to work in (so about after 1830), artisans will stay artisans until the industrial era arrives (they might be so poor they are now forced to take work in the new factories) or rich enough so as to promote to capitalists. Soldiers promote to officers and officer to aristocrats and so you get the idea. In otherwords POPs are now subject to a rigid social hierarchy or ladder that they might climb (or fall down) depending on how well are doing economically.

Desk duel breaks out during live TV debate on Syria
A televised debate between two Jordanian journalists broke into a fight as they argued over the Syrian crisis.
Read the full story ›Abu Qatada's trial in Jordan adjourned
The trial of Abu Qatada was adjourned until Christmas Eve, following his objection to the presence of a military judge in the three-judge tribunal.
The radical cleric said the make-up of the judicial panel violates an agreement with Britain which paved way for his extradition and was meant to guarantee him a fair trial in his homeland.
He is charged with plotting terror attacks against Israelis, Americans and other Westerners in Jordan in two foiled attempts in 1999 and 2000.
In both cases, Abu Qatada was convicted in absentia and sentenced to life in prison.
But on his return from the UK in July, those sentences were suspended and he has to be re-tried under Jordanian law.
Abu Qatada demands civilian trial in Jordan
Abu Qatada, the radical cleric on trial in Jordan, has challenged the Jordanian authorities over the make-up of the judicial panel.
According to media reports, he protested against a military judge on the panel.
Mr Qatada said this was against the assurances given to him at the time he was fighting his deportation from the UK.
He said Jordanian authorities said the court would be independent and civilian.
His lawyer quoted a formal letter from the authorities to foreign secretary William Hague, which was part of the new treaty between Jordan and the UK.
The trial was adjourned in consideration of these claims until Christmas Eve.
Read: Abu Qatada leaves Britain after a near decade-long battle
Report: Qatada pleads not guilty to terrorism charges
Abu Qatada, the radical cleric on trial in Jordan, pleads not guilty to terrorism charges, BBC reports.
Qatada was deported from the UK in July.
Trial of Abu Qatada expected to begin in Jordan
The trial of radical cleric Abu Qatada is expected to begin today in Jordan. Qatada is to face terrorism charges following his deportation from the UK in July.
He is accused of involvement in a series of bombings in 1998 and a terrorist plot that was foiled in 2000.
Following a near decade-long battle against deportation, it was a treaty signed between the UK and Jordan earlier this year that finally secured Qatada's departure, giving the radical preacher the assurances he needed to leave his taxpayer-funded home behind.
The agreement, announced by the Home Secretary earlier this year, aimed to allay fears that evidence extracted through torture would not be used against the father-of-five at his trial.

Kerry: Israel 'one stiff breeze away' from gas attack
Forceful and unforgiving language from John Kerry at the US Senate hearing as the White House continues to try to persuade lawmakers to vote for Syria strike.
Kerry said Israel and Jordan are "one stiff breeze away" from a chemical strike.
"If we fail to act, our interests would be seriously set back," he added.
Desolate Syrian refugees feel let down by world powers
Syrian refugees who were forced to flee their war-torn country told ITV News that the world has let them down by not staging an intervention to a chemical weapons attack.
One refugee at the Zaatari camp in Jordan told our Correspondent Martin Geissler: "Assad has used chemicals 14 times at least. What is the matter with the world. Are they sleeping? Are they drunk? Are they on drugs?"
Google images show scale of huge refugee camp in Jordan
Google have released satellite images of the Zaatari refugee camp in northern Jordan.
The Zaatari camp is home to more than 120,000 Syrian refugees - half of them children, according to the UN.
The site has become the fourth largest city in Jordan and the world's second largest refugee camp behind Dadaab in eastern Kenya.
UNICEF in Jordan has appealed for aid of more than $115 million by the end of 2013 so it can continue to meet the needs of the growing number of refugees.
Abu Qatada's family visit him in detention
Abu Qatada's family have visited him in detention in Jordan. It is the first time his mother, sister and brothers have seen him in over a decade. According to Qatada's lawyer he is being held in a cell with 15 other people. His legal team has requested that Qatada is released on bail.

Kim Jong-il is Kim Jong-deadHere are some of the things that The Supreme Leader, the Dear Leader, the General, Lodestar of the 21st Century and Eternal President, Kim Jong-il has been (no joke) credited with:* Even before his birth, the future leader of North Korea was triggering miracles. Official biographers say his birth in a cabin on the slopes of Baekdu Mountain in February 1942 was foretold by a swallow and heralded by a double rainbow. When he was born, a new star appeared in the night sky.* The first time he picked up a golf club, in 1994, Kim reportedly shot a 38-under par round on North Korea's only golf course, including 11 holes-in-one. He then decided to retire from the sport for ever.* Kim has the ability to alter the weather simply through the power of thought.* The fledgling leader was a genius as an infant, with official North Korean biographies stating that he had learned to walk at just 3 weeks and was talking at 8 weeks.* As a junior high school pupil in Pyongyang, he corrected and chasti

This place was a huge disappointment. Maybe at one time they made fresh, authentic Italian food, but that time has passed. None of the food we ordered had any flavor, and none was made fresh. They serve frozen food heated up. The red sauce has absolutely no flavor, and the lasagna was worse than you'd buy frozen to cook in your microwave - but costs $20. An Italian restaurant that doesn't serve Italian bread?? The one thing we ordered that was halfway decent was the Avocado Bruchetta appetizer. They also don't accept credit cards (which they don't say anywhere on their website), and won't be able to give you an itemized receipt (necessary for a business expense). With all the great Italian restaurants in NYC, don't waste your money or time on this place that is past it's prime.

Unfortunately not good like the others. I thought the music could be changed, 'rock stuff' doesn't work. I thought the food was very good. Unfortunately the waitstaff disappeared after the food was served. I almost feel like our table was being punished or we somehow offended the waiters (??) b/c no one came around to give us the check. Then we again had to get someone to take the check. Very unprofessional.
Posted by HippieChick on 07/31/2014
I've been going to John's for decades, but lately it's gotten less pleasant. Food is still good and old-style, portions are still humongous. But the noise level has grown to be almost painful, and the wait staff could use retraining. For instance, if a couple is sharing an order of clams, TWO seafood forks are required, especially when the waiter is told they're sharing the appetizer. And furthermore, a clean fork is required with every course. A waiter is not supposed to take the used fork off the soiled plate where the diner has correctly placed it to be taken away and replace it ON THE TABLECLOTH. This is cafeteria behavior. Once a utensil is used, that's it. A new one should be put at the place. So not exactly the finest of dining experiences.

As the place filled up, the decibel level increased and by the end of our dinner, my friend and I had given up trying t hear each other. We finished our meal and left -- I'm sorry to say, forever. I eat out to experience good food but also to meet with friends and enjoy conversation. My dish was good as was the service but I won't return to a place so loud that one has to scream to be heard. To give it the benefit of the doubt, it was a Friday night -- perhaps it's not so crowded and noisy during the week.

I was trying to take my friend out for his birthday to Angelica except the wait was forty-five minutes and we didn't have the time for that. We decided on John's since they added a vegan menu and it is right next door. Though it was crowded we were able to get a table right away. The vegan menu looked alright and even though I wanted the ravioli I went with the seitan alla rosa and my friend with the seitan scallopini. Both seemed good enough. That the food arrived in under five minutes was sign enough that no effort was put in. Additionally, each dish was identical save for the sauce and there was nothing special about it. It's obvious the vegan menu was added to draw a crowd away from Angelica and make money because as a chef I would never ever serve anything like that. I cannot imagine the kitchen is proud of their work...

Been many times & although the food isn't THE BEST, it's great 'red sauce' American Italian food. Atmosphere is great, especially the back room with the ever growing candelabra. Price is right as well.

Been wanting to try this place for years based on it's good reputation. While the portions are generous, the food is fair at best. We had a pizza (decent) an eggplant parm and a chicken parm. Both were "eh". The real let down though, was the service and the atmosphere. For the first half of the meal we had bad 70s rock blaring at us. Although they turned it off when we asked, who ever thought this would match the old-school Italian ambiance? The pizza, our appetizer, took almost an hour to come out even though we were one of the first tables there. The waiter continued to serve everyone around us and was snippy at first when we pointed this out to him. Later, we mentioned this to the manager and instead of apologizing, we were told that, "pizza is an item that takes a long time to come out." After that, we waited quite a while for our main courses even though we asked several times. When we complained about this we were told that the reason we couldn't get our main courses was, "because no one cleared away your appetizers" so they weren't allowed to bring out our mains. We had finished the apps and had asked for it to be taken away. No one was willing for quite awhile. With "meh" food, eh atmosphere and crummy service, this place is a must miss.
