BERN - Facing growing attacks on their mosques by far-rightists, Muslim leaders have urged the German government to take measures to protect their worship places.
"Attacks against Muslims and their houses of worship have been increasing for years," Aiman Mazyek, spokesman of the Coordination Council of Muslims in Germany (KRM), told World Bulletin website on Friday, May 24."And this shows us that this issue should be addressed not only by security units, but also the whole of society."
Xenophobic German Party Targets Muslims |
Four mosques in different German states have been attacked since the trial of the terrorist National Socialist Underground (NSU) group began earlier this month.
The trial, in which neo-Nazi suspect Beate Zschäpe and four NSU supporters stand accused of 10 murders, started earlier in May.
In the period between May 10 and May 20, the KRM said mosques in Bullay, in the Rhineland-Palatinate state, as well as its capital, Mainz; the town of Lengerich in the Steinfurt district and the town of Düren in the district of the same name in North Rhine-Westphalia were attacked.
The attackers wrote on the door of the mosque in Düren on May 20 that, The NSU is alive and you will be the next victims.
In Mainz, another attack occurred on May 18, when two unidentified assailants hung anti-Islamic posters on the walls of the mosque.
The other recent attacks on mosques involved stones thrown at mosques and other damage to mosque property.
The KRM also noted that about 30 attacks took place against mosques in 2012, nine of when included arson.
The KRM called for stronger measures and a more determined fight against Islamophobic attacks in Germany, especially during this sensitive period while the NSU trial is ongoing.
Germany is believed to be home to nearly 4 million Muslims, including 220,000 in Berlin alone. Turks make up an estimated two thirds of the Muslim minority.
Germans have grown hostile to the Muslim presence recently, with a heated debate on the Muslim immigration into the country.
A recent poll by the Munster University found that Germans view Muslims more negatively than their European neighbors.
Rising Extremism
Community leaders urged the German government to take necessary action to help reassure Muslims about their safety.
"We should be more careful now at a time when the NSU trial is ongoing. Muslims should be reassured, too," said Ali Kızılkaya, the head of Germany's Islamic Council (Islamrat).
"The state should adopt a stance that will be a deterrent to the extreme rightists.
He urged the government to take serious measures to stop the surge of far-right groups in the country.
"Once the existence of the NSU murders was revealed, nothing should have been the same again and the state should have fought against the extreme right-wing more seriously and determinedly. Yet, sadly, we have not seen any greater determination to this end."
The danger of right-wing violence has received heightened attention in Germany since November 2011 when two members of a NSU cell were found dead in an apparent murder-suicide in the eastern city of Zwickau.
The cell, which had been murdering immigrants for years, was discovered by chance on 2011 by German authorities.
Authorities found that at least nine immigrants, eight Turks and a Greek, and a policewoman were killed by the cell between 2000 and 2000.
Weapons involved in the murders were later found at a burned out house nearby in Zwickau that had been used both by them and by a woman called Beate Zschaepe, who has given herself up.
Germans, burdened by their Nazi past, were horrified by the revelations and Chancellor Angela Merkel had publicly apologized to the families of the murder victims.
A recent study in November showed that right-wing extremism is notably rising in Germany, particularly in the east of the European country.
The study, "The Changing Society: Right-wing Views in Germany 2012", found that the number of Germans identifying themselves has grown.The report indicated that 9 percent of Germans have adopted extreme right-wing beliefs, up from 8.2 percent two years ago.

Samsung Electronics has announced what it claims is the industry's first production of a high-performance Toggle DDR 2.0 multi-level-cell (MLC) memory chip, designed to support the high-performance requirements of mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets and solid state drives (SSDs).
The new chip features a 64Gb density, made possible by using an advanced 20nm-class process technology, the vendor said. Equipped with a toggle DDR (Double Data Rate) 2.0 interface, the device can transmit data at a bandwidth of up to 400Mbps. This provides a 10-fold increase over the 40Mbps SDR NAND flash memory in widespread use today, and a three-fold boost over 133Mbps toggle DDR 1.0, 32Gb NAND flash memory, Samsung added.
The high-speed 400Mbps bandwidth of toggle DDR 2.0 is expected to better support the ongoing shift toward advanced interfaces, as more mobile and consumer electronics devices requiring added performance and higher densities adopt new interfaces such as USB 3.0 and SATA 6.0Gbps, according to Samsung.
The new 64Gb MLC NAND chip also offers an approximate 50% increase in productivity over 20nm-class 32Gb MLC NAND chips with a Toggle DDR 1.0 interface, which Samsung started producing in April 2010, and more than doubles the productivity of 30nm-class 32Gb MLC NAND, the company said.

Which forex broker is the best?
The Forex trading market is the busiest market in the world considering its capacity to generate as much as $4 trillion each day. Because of the great liquidity of the forex market, investors and businessmen continue to engage in the currency trading as they meet their objective of gaining good profit. Participating in the forex market requires the help of a forex broker. This is because the forex market has no central place that is why traders must acquire a reliable forex broker in order for investors to be in the right track.
Knowing how competitive the forex market is, finding a quality broker is essential. Below are tips on selecting the best broker.
1. Forex Broker must be reputable
When choosing a broker you have to check on his portfolio. It is important that the broker must be a member of reputable organizations such as the National Futures Association of NFA. Also check that the broker is registered with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission or CFTC as a Retail Foreign Exchange Dealer or Futures Commission Merchant.
If you want to know why a broker should be a member of these organizations, perhaps their functions will explain why.
The NFA is an organization that regulates the United States' future industries. It is responsible in providing services, programs and rules in protecting the credibility and integrity of all investors and traders in the market. The organization sees to it that each member in the organization is able to practice his or her regulatory responsibilities.
The CFTC is an agency of the government which functions independently. Their task is to regulate options market and commodity futures in the United States. The CFTC is responsible in protecting the public and market users from any form of abusive practices, manipulation and fraud related to financial futures and options as well as commodity sales.
As a way of choosing a reliable broker, make sure that the broker is an NFA member and/or a regulated by the CFTC. Always check on the 'about us' page of the website that this information are stated otherwise brokers without NFS and CTFC evidence should not be accommodated.
More often than not, websites with flashy designs pretend to be prestigious and reputable. For as long as there's no proof about their membership to NFA and CTFC, then these brokers should be avoided. It always pays to be cautious in choosing a reputable broker.
2. Currency Pairs Offered by Forex Broker
The forex market comprise of a number of currencies for trading, therefore you have to focus on only a few pairs which have the greatest liquidity. These major foreign exchange pairs are:
Brokers are allowed to present other currencies to the trader however; it is still the trader who has the power to select which currencies he or she is interest at.
3. Forex Broker Customer Support Service
The forex market operates 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. On the side of the trader, customer service is a totally important service because there are times when queries need to be answered. In addition, customer service must also be available on the same time and days the Forex market is open. When it comes to communicating with a customer service representative, traders prefer to speak with a live agent rather than an auto attendant. This is because trading is a serious matter that involves investing money therefore; such issues must be resolved accurately. Since brokers need to earn the trust of traders, information about their company details, leverage, spreads as well as organizational memberships must be readily available.

The High Court yesterday granted six months' bail to the chairman and managing director of New Wave Buttons, a garment factory housed in Rana Plaza that collapsed in April last year.
They were accused in two cases filed in connection with the building collapse that left 1,135 dead.
Bazlus Samad Adnan and Mahmudur Rahman got the bail after they filed separate petitions.
Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha and the police filed the cases with Savar Model Police Station on April 24 and 25 last year for constructing the building violating rules and for the negligence of the owners of the building and the factories it housed.
The HC bench of Justice Naima Haider and Justice Zafar Ahmed granted the bail.
SM Rezaul Karim, a lawyer for the accused, said there is no legal bar on his clients' release from jail following the HC order.
Another accused Abdul Khalek, father of the building owner Sohel Rana, has earlier got bail in the cases and he is now out of jail, Karim said, adding that the cases were filed under such sections of the law that permit the court to grant bail. However, Sohel Rana is in jail now.

Before you think it, I want it to be known, I am not old. But I learned from my mother, who learned from my grandmother, that if you don't want to look old when you are old, then you must take steps to prevent that before you get that way.
For my grandmother, it was cucumbers, oils, vinegar, and all kinds of natural remedies. For me, it is Made from Earth's Vitamin Face Firming Serum. I use it daily, and people even are astounded now when they ask my age. They are amazed that my skin looks great and so young looking. It is awesome. It is worth what it costs, as it is pricey (but then all products of this nature are). It is worth what it costs, though, since it does work wonders. It produces stunning results.
In fact, it works so good it is recommended by almost all who have tried or used it.

On March 7, 1878, one of the earliest field artillery units in the Colorado National Guard, the Chaffee Light Artillery, was mustered into service.
The organization was named for Sen. Jerome B. Chaffee of Colorado because of his efforts in securing necessary equipment from the federal government.
Initially armed with two brass Napoleon twelve pounder guns, the unit was housed with the "Governor's Guards" on 15th and Curtis streets in downtown Denver.
One of the Soldier's most notorious missions was that of the City Hall riot in Denver in 1894. Gov. Davis Waite called out the Chaffee Light Artillery along with three companies of infantry to enforce the removal of certain city officials who had chosen to defy the governor's orders.

Illegal Mortgage Lender Ordered to Cease
American Mortgage's advertisements included numerous misleading terms and claimed "FDIC Insured Funds Now Offered". American Mortgage is not licensed to operate in the Commonwealth as a mortgage lender or mortgage broker. It is not a bank and cannot be insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").
"A home purchase or refinance is likely the most significant financial transaction in an individual's life. Consumers are well advised to verify the licensing status of a company before entering into a contract with a mortgage financing company," warned Director of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation Beth Lindstrom.
Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks Steven L. Antonakes added, "Licensing standards exist for a reason. The licensing process ensures that all non-bank companies are financially sound and meet strict character and fitness standards. The Division does not tolerate unlicensed companies operating in Massachusetts and misleading consumers."
Under Massachusetts law, licensed mortgage lenders and mortgage brokers must disclose their licensing number in all advertisements. Anyone wishing to verify the license status of a mortgage lender or mortgage broker should check the Division's web site at www.mass.gov/dob or call the Division of Banks' Consumer Hotline at 1-800-495-BANK (2265), x 501. Consumers can also inquire as to whether there are any outstanding complaints against a licensed mortgage lender or mortgage broker.

New Laptops For The Kids
Santa brought both of my kids, new kids laptops for Christmas. These are great, as I spend more, and more time working online limiting their educational games online. Each of these have over 60 educational games on them including, spelling, math, grammar, music, and many other learning activities. My son will use his, at the end of the school day to fill in time left over. Caitlin will be using hers, as a main part of her education day, as she finds it more fun and interesting than just paper projects. They both come with a mouse, increasing basic computer skills. These were an affordable purchase, and very helpful in teaching certain skills. Eventually, as they get older traditional laptops may become an integral part of their educations.

I think this recipe depends on the type of beef you use. I bought a high quality corned beef already marinating in the spices. Turned out awesome! I cooked my potatoes separate and did not add the cabbage. Also, so important to cut against the grain. I cooked mine only 6 hours on low.

The recipe was easy and it smelled great while it was cooking....and like the previous review, that's where my compliments stop. My mom usually makes our St. Patrick's day meal, but it was a busy day for us so I decided to try it & use this crock pot recipe so nobody had to be home standing over the stove or oven all day. This meal went on our plates then right in the trash! No flavor at all and I even added extra thyme and garlic salt. The meat was a little tough and just plain! Disappointed!

Just made this. Great recipe. Beef was extremely tender. Vegetables had good flavor. Easy prep.

This is my go to recipe for corned beef on St. Patrick's Day. It is my third year using it and the result is always the same...delicious!

I followed this recipe with the exception of adding some fresh garlic and cooked it in my crockpot for 8 hours on low. Our house smelled wonderful all day. That is where my complements stop! This was terrible, there was no flavor in this dish. In the 8 years that my husband and I have been together, this is the first dinner that went in the trash! I am extremely disappointed!!!

It was very good considering three things. The corned beef didn't come with the spice packet. I used herbs, as specified in recipe, and added dill weed (good 4 your health). I didn't have celery on hand, so I substituted celery salt.
(I forgot the water but, it made its own juices and it was tasty! A little salty but, edible). I will definitely have it for "Saint Patrick's Day" and add water next time. 2 important steps to do B-4 recipe. Please remind us to "wash hands" and "vegetables" . -

Understanding How The Lateral Ankle Triad Comes Into Play With Chronic Ankle Instability
One of the most commonly encountered musculoskeletal injuries and possibly the most common injury in sports is the lateral ankle sprain. Current estimates suggest that one out of 10,000 people per day sustains an inversion ankle sprain with lateral ankle sprains accounting for 85 percent of all ankle sprains.1-3
Researchers have reported that approximately 20 to 40 percent of acute ankle sprains progress to chronic problems.4,5 Braun found that at six to 18 months after injury, 72.6 percent of patients reported residual pain after initially being treated in a general clinic.6 A study out of Hong Kong found that 59 percent of athletes with ankle sprains had significant disability and residual symptoms, which led to impairment of their athletic performance.7
Numerous studies on sports injuries have revealed a high occurrence and high recurrence rate of ankle sprain. Chronic pain, muscular weaknesses and ease of giving way of the ankle are not uncommon for athletes with a history of ankle sprains who subsequently develop chronic ankle problems and chronic ankle instability.
A Closer Look At The Pathoanatomy Of The Lateral Ankle
The anterior talofibular ligament, the calcaneofibular ligament and the posterior talofibular ligament comprise the lateral ankle ligament complex. The anterior talofibular ligament is the most frequently injured ligament in inversion sprains followed by the calcaneofibular ligament and rarely the posterior talofibular ligament. Brostrom and Linstrand reported that approximately two-thirds of ankle sprains are isolated to the anterior talofibular ligament.8,9 The anterior talofibular ligament runs parallel to the foot in a neutral position, is contiguous with the ankle joint and is the weakest of the lateral ankle ligaments. The calcaneofibular ligament is an extra-articular ligament, which crosses both the subtalar joint as well as the ankle joint, and acts as the floor of the peroneal sheath.
Lateral ankle sprains are often not isolated findings and are frequently associated with other injuries such as peroneal tenosynovitis, anterolateral impingement lesions, ankle synovitis, intra-articular loose bodies, osteochondral lesions of the talus and tibia, adhesions, fibrous bands, and neuritis. Researchers have found that chronically unstable ankle joints can lead to degenerative changes as well as peroneal tendon pathology. Dombek and colleagues revealed that 58 percent of peroneal tears in their study resulted from trauma and 61 percent of those were secondary to ankle sprains.10
Continued microtrauma and repetitive over-stretching of the capsule may take place with chronic ankle instability. Accordingly, this could lead to synovitis, synovial impingement and scarring of the capsule. Hintermann and coworkers evaluated chronic ankle instability via arthroscopy and found osteochondral defects of the talus or tibia in 55 percent of the cases, synovitis in 32 percent of the cases, synovial plica in 10 percent of patients, and ventral scarring in 5 percent of patients.5

one fine day
Posted in Manga Reviews on April 20, 2010 by Ed Sizemoreby Sirial; translated by JuYoun Lee
published by Yen Press; $10.99 US
Review by Ed Sizemore
No-ah is a novice magician living with his three pets: Guru (a male cat), Nanai (a male dog), and Pritz Rang (a female mouse). At times it's hard to decide who's adopted whom in the series. Certainly, the animals see themselves as equals with their owner. one fine day (the series title is done in all lowercase letters) is a gentle, slice-of-life, humor series with a little magical realism thrown in. The series is composed of everyday stories focusing on the relationship between the four main characters. one fine day is currently being serialized in Yen Press' monthly anthology magazine, Yen Plus.
There is a lot of ambiguity in one fine day. It begins with the nature of the animals themselves. They can appear as either a literal cat, dog, and mouse or as human children with the ears of the respective animal. Sirial never explains if their human manifestations are real or simply a story device. You can argue that they appear in human form when Sirial is giving us insight into how they feel and think about a certain circumstance. However, they have the abilities to write, draw, and use household utensils as if they have real hands. It reminds me of the unexplained nature of the tiger, Hobbes, in Calvin and Hobbes. I'm glad that Sirial, like Watterson, doesn't try to explain this feature of the series, since it would take away from its charm.
Next is the question of No-ah's apprenticeship. They talk about him studying to be a magician, but they never discuss the kind of magic he is studying. He tries using magic recipes but unfortunately fails. So is No-ah trying to master potions and other magic foods? We know that he works at a bakery; is that part of his training? We are also told that No-ah is struggling with his apprenticeship, but we are never told why or what the problem is. It's frustrating because it's mentioned with enough frequency that we want to know more than we're ever told.
Even the character designs are a bit ambiguous. I honestly thought the cat and the dog were female until the character introduction page made it clear they were males. I also would have thought No-ah was a woman if it wasn't for the masculine name. I don't mind the androgynous designs. The large eyes and soft features are perfect for expressing emotions.
Sirial has crafted some wonderful characters. I like that the animals are slightly unpredictable and at times mischievous; it makes them seem more realistic. They come across as good-natured children whose sense of play gets the better of them at times. I like that the cat is always one of the instigators, but the dog and the mouse seem to take turns getting in trouble. It's also funny to watch them gang up on No-ah when they think he is being mean. The group dynamics are pure joy.
The artwork is sparse, and Sirial uses lots of negative space. This helps to emphasize that the focus is on the characters; where they are and what's around them is incidental. Although Sirial is Korean, you can tell the art is heavily influenced by Japanese shojo character designs. Sirial makes wonderful use of the large eyes to evoke emotions. Sadness and joy radiate from the page more powerfully when the feeling comes from the character's eyes. There is one area of confusion created by Sirial's art: No-ah's hair. I don't have a clue as to what hairstyle Sirial is attempting to depict. I've never seen anything like it, and it leaves me utterly stumped each time I think about it.
one fine day in some respects reminds me of Ziggy. There is the same gentle, uplifting humor. Also, both artists use lots of negative space, although one fine day is more sophisticated in its presentation and storytelling. Sirial has created a series that is comfort food for the mind. It's light, airy, and makes you feel good after reading it. Like Ziggy, this kind of unbridled positiveness isn't for everyone. A read through the first 20 pages will let you know if one fine day works for you or not. If it does, it's like the smile of a close friend. It instantly brightens your mood and makes the day better.

Out of every story put in the Yen Plus Anthology so far, this is the only one I just can't get into. For some reason I can't stand it, I stopped trying to force myself through each chapter of this series by the 3rd magazine.
Not to say others can't enjoy this, it's just not for me.

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)France is Bankrupt. The 'City of Light' - will turn off lights, to save money
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
January 31st, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) The ""bankrupt" French government, in an attempt to deal with mounting debt has decreed that all non-residential buildings will need to turn off their lights at night in a bid to save $950 million annually. Beginning July 1, interior lights will have to be turned off within an hour of the last person leaving the premises, while all exterior lights and shop fronts will have to be plunged into darkness by 1 a.m. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The new law is also intended to cut back on CO2 emissions. A senior member of French President Francois Hollande's Socialist government had declared earlier that the country was "totally bankrupt."The French environment ministry hopes the move will both save energy and reduce light pollution. Authorities are expected to allow exceptions for Christmas lighting and other local events. The new edict will save about two terawatt/hours of electricity a year, which is the equivalent of the annual consumption of 750,000 households, the ministry said. Light pollution disrupts ecosystems and people's sleep patterns, Environment Minister Delphine Batho said. The new rule will make France a European pioneer in addressing this issue. In the meantime, Michel Sapin, who is in charge of the employment ministry in Paris, made it clear the government's tax-and-spend policies were not working. "There is a state but it is a totally bankrupt state. That is why we had to put a deficit reduction plan in place, and nothing should make us turn away from that objective." Colleagues in the Socialist administration said Sapin was only highlighting faults of the previous government of Nicolas Sarkozy. "What he meant was that the fiscal situation was worrying," Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici said. A poll by Le Figaro newspaper showed eight out of ten readers agreed that France was indeed bankrupt. The "tax-and-spend" policies of have come under attack from critics. In response, international film star Gerard Depardieu obtained a Russian passport, bought a house in Belgium and put his Paris home on the market. Data from the Bank of France shows capital investment is leaving the country every day. Rating agencies Moody's and Standard & Poor's have both already removed France's once-coveted AAA credit. Hollande is currently trying to revive France's economic fortunes by cutting spending by the equivalent of more than $80 billion. Hollande has also pledged to increase taxes by $30 billion over the next five years. Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) |

Upon wondering the many lands and realms of the Gods, a vast doorway laden with the riches of the earth is carved into a giant wall of onyx rock. Giant black gates had been opened up to allow people through. People were gathering at the opening as they seemed to cluster around a sign. Walking closer you realize there is a man, all clad in black, standing beside it. Pushing past the throng of people you can now read what the sign says. In, what looks to be questionable red paint, there is a slash across bold, black letters that read, "DO NOT ENTER!" You see that there is more written underneath and quickly divulge the writing's meaning.
"Welcome to the realm of Hades, the God of the Underworld, whom has opened up his realm to you for this very special occasion. But beware of the souls and do not drink the river water. The consequences could be... grave. Enter at your own risk…"
After reading the sign you notice that the person beside the sign has started directing people towards the giant black stairway that leads down into the darkness. He smiles as he watches you go by, "Don't lose your head down there." his cackling laugh follows you as you make your way to the stairs.
Standing in the middle of the stairway entrance, you peer down the great spiral staircase into what seems to be a dark abyss. Torches lick and flicker against the stone walls in their ghastly shades of yellow, green, blue, red and purple as they are held up in skulls made of precious metals and adorned with gems like those of the entrance. Cold air brushes past you, drawing your eyes away from the walls as it sucks you in and makes you take those first steps down those stairs, drawing you into the darkness.
After a long, spiralling walk down, you feel the air begin to change around you. It begins to get humid as it starts to feel like the moisture in the air has become sticky against your flesh. You can hear water dripping around you as voices waft around in the air from further down. Looking back up you can see the tiny pinpoint of light, like a single star in a sea of darkness. Bidding farewell to the surface and safety that you knew, you turn back to the darkness and pressed onwards towards the unknown.
The voices grow louder as you get closer and closer to them. Your stomach tightens and flutters at the same time as your heart beats like a scared bird trapped in a cage. You see a light just up ahead spilling from a large doorway. Drawn to this strange ethereal light you stumble over to the doorway to gaze upon a massive cavern set aglow by the river in the center.
A crowd has grown at a large dock which houses an even larger ferry, and one like you have never seen. Black as the night, it is decorated in silver swirls and skulls, with nets laid over the sides. A tall man, clad in white with a large hood that shrouds his face so you can see nothing but his tight lipped expression stands with one foot on the dock and the other on the ferry as he ushers people on to it. "Come on people! Down you go, I don't have all day." He calls out to group.
His hand shoots up to stop someone, whom you notice is not solid in the least. You look around and notice that several others there are see-through as well, waiting to board the boat along with the corporeal. "No! Not you souls. Not until you pay the fare. Now back! Back! And make way for the living! Hurry it up before they die too!" he huffs at them. His impatience is duly noted as he taps his foot on the stone dock. "Last call for all you living and souls with fare!" He shouts, snapping you out of your little daze as you rush past him and onto the ferry, sitting at the edge furthest from him.
The hooded man boards the ferry and grabs the oar that has been resting against it. He submerges it into the white water and pushes them away from the dock and into the middle of the river. "For those of you that don't know, I am Charon your boatman today to deliver you as…guests of Master Hades to his Palace." His voice rings out over them as the sounds of the odd water rushing past the ferry floats around you. "We shall be passing by the Rivers. So ladies and gent's, I suggest you keeps your hands and feet in the ferry till we reach our destination. Lest you wish to have to pay the fare." He chuckles and grins in a way that makes your stomach tighten in knots.
He guides the boat with ease into the faster current. "Were you not listening?!" His voice booms, directed at a boy across from you on the other side of the ferry (who has his hand reached halfway to the surface of the water). "The Rivers are tainted by souls and are known to have strange effects on those who make contact with it!" He growls and mutters to himself as he shakes his head. Everyone else on the ferry draws closer to the center of the ferry.
Your curiosity draws you to look over the side of the ferry to see the souls in the river. They moan and groan now that you notice, calling out to you to help them. They outstretch their hands to you, begging you to free them and promising gifts and riches for you help. An oar shoots up into the side of your view, sending the spirits in the river to scream and scatter. "Did you not just hear me yelling at that young whelp over there child?" Charon snarls at you.
At a complete loss for words you stare, open mouthed at him as he goes back to steering the ferry. "Wont be much longer!" He calls out. "We're already on the River Cocytus. We just passed Acheron and we're coming up to Lethe and Phlegethon, then finally Styx. The dock there leads directly to the palace gates where Cerberus should be if he hasn't wandered off again. But it won't take long, feel free to relax. But not too much." He says with a sly grin.
And indeed it is not long before you can see the massive palace. The ferry bumps against the dock with a thud and Charon ties it to one of the support beams. "Living first!" He calls out as he starts helping people out of the ferry. You stand up and join the rest of the living that are piling out and onto the dock. Charon quickly grabs your shoulder, stopping you dead. "Stay away from the river. Next time I won't stop them from taking your reckless self off and over my ferry." He growls before letting go and helping more people out.
You stand with the rest of the living around the dock as Charon turns to you all. "One last piece of advice to you before you're all out of my sight and care. Do not attempt or even bother to think about stealing Master Hades' possessions or he will make sure the last thing you see is the growling face of his pet dog, Cerberus." And with that he turns away from you and the rest of the living to yell at the dead left in the boat some more.
You turn around to see a massive, majestic building looming over you, surrounded by dark coloured gates and a landscape that could only be described as hauntingly otherworldly. Boldly, you and the other living occupants step through the giant doorway into the palace.
Upon stepping through, a massive man with three dog heads approaches you and the rest of the group. "Welcome. Allow me to show you to Master Hades." The middle head says reverently. The right head yawns. "Don't bother going in. It'll be a bore of a night." The left head decides to add his two cents. "Go sniff yourself! They shouldn't even be here!" The three heads continue to argue quietly as they lead you through the halls of the palace
A grand sight greets you as you make your way further into the palace. The palace is decorated in expensive and precious metals, gold designs shining exquisitely on the black walls. The end of the hallway gives way to a massive room, filled with columns and statues adorned with precious metals and gems. At the center of this room is a giant throne made of bones atop a plateau of stairs. At the bottom of these stairs stand four figures. Two massive males, one with white hair and black robes and the other with dark brown and reddish brown robes, stand dressed in robes and metals while they converse with one another. Beside them stand two females who seem to be complete opposites of each other. Though both are dressed in dark robes and metals, one carries a sword while the other has adorned herself in flowers.
The massive man in the black robes turns from the other male to look out at all the people gathered in the room. He smiles, sending cold shivers down your spine. "Hello." He says, his voice filling the air and ringing through out the massive room. "I am Hades. Welcome to my palace."

OREGON — The United Health Foundation has looked at how each state is doing in terms of its people's health and there is good and bad news about Oregon.
The good news is that Oregonians lead active lifestyles. The bad news is Oregon have a low rate of immunization and the state also has a large segment of the population that is uninsured.
Oregon is also ranked lower in overall health than last year. In 2011, Oregon was ranked at number eight; this year, Oregon dropped to number 13.

Following the official announcement in September, T-Mobile and Apple today announced three rate plans for users of the iPhone in Germany, starting at �49 per month. Called "iPhone Complete" plans, all three include unlimited data, Visual Voicemail and access to T-Mobile's more than 8,000 Wi-Fi HotSpots in Germany. Apple's popular device is scheduled to go on sale on November 9 and will be sold in Germany through Telekom Shops of Deutsche Telekom and the T-Mobile website and will require a new 2-year T-Mobile rate plan; it will be available in an 8GB model for �399 including V.A.T. Apple has already announced that it has sold more than 1.4 million iPhones since its June 30th launch and that over 250,000 devices were sold to unlockers who used third-party hacks to enable the phone on other GSM networks.
Although the Shine is, in various forms, one of LG's signature phones, it is a relatively recent arrival to North America, and its latest incarnation is a version for the Canadian carrier Telus. Electronista had an opportunity to test this new variant, and see whether the Shine lives up to its publicity.
Just on picking up the phone, it is impossible to avoid how stunning it looks. While it already shares a lot of design elements in common with the Motorola RAZR, such as extreme thinness and an antenna "lip" towards the bottom, LG has gone farther by building most of the body out of a brushed, highly reflective metal.
imeem, a social network where users can share music, videos and other media on profile pages, will be offering a significant chunk of EMI Music's music and video content through an ad-supported online service. Artists such as Radiohead, Coldplay, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, 30 Seconds to Mars, Norah Jones, Interpol, KT Tunstall, Daft Punk, Joss Stone, the Beastie Boys and others are included. The move is significant because many included bands, such as Radiohead, rarely offer their music in single-track format, preferring to stick with full album sales. The EMI/imeem partnership is the latest in a long string of efforts to dethrone Apple's iTunes as king of the digital download purchase heap.
Fujitsu today released what it hopes is one of the most powerful portable scanners ever: the ScanSnap S300 is less than a foot long and weighs just 3.1 pounds but can scan full color documents at 600 DPI, including two-sided pages; up to 16 effective pages can be captured depending on the settings, Fujitsu says. Though these speeds demand AC power, the S300 will still run at half speed if connected solely through a USB port. The device automatically feeds images itself and is intelligent enough to recognize black-and-white or color pages, misaligned images, and different page formats without any help from the user.
The Federal Communications Commission has announced that it may soon put an end to exclusive deals for cable companies servicing apartments. In a measure backed by AT&T and Verizon, expected to be approved on Wednesday, thousands of contracts guaranteeing exclusive building rights will be ended, paving the way for increased competition. The move should -- in theory -- drop prices, which have in some cases risen by as much as three times the rate of inflation with the last 10 years. Exclusivity is also far more likely to impact minority apartment dwellers, since while a quarter of all Americans live in buildings with 50 or more people, 40 percent of Hispanic- and African-Americans do.
When we first tested Leopard, initial impressions of the new OS were very favorable, and many of these initial observations hold over after days of extended use. The OS continues to not just run quickly but also upgrades the performance of a few previously sluggish components, especially Spotlight. We've discovered a few pleasant upsides to Leopard since then; however, we've also found a few potential showstopping bugs that may have early adopters think twice.
Linksys has debuted a duo of new routers, one sporting Power over Ethernet capabilities, and the other utilizing QoS and offering two phone ports. The new Wireless-G Access Point with Power over Ethernet includes the company's proprietary "RangeBooster" technology, which is purported to offer improved performance and "effectively double network size and increase throughput by 35 percent." Also included are 802.11F Roaming and auto-channel Selection. Security protocols include WPA2 Enterprise, 802.1x with Radius Authentication, HTTPS secure control, MAC Address Filtering and DES/3DES/AES Encryption. There are also multiple BSSIDs and 802.1q VLANs for keeping network traffic separate. The Business Series Wireless-G Access Point with Power over Ethernet (WAP2000) will have an estimated street price of $170.
Intel has officially revealed the Core 2 Extreme QX9650, a processor built on the 45nm Yorkfield/Penryn platform. The CPU, the first Penryn chip to be announced, is said to be a dramatic improvement on past quad-core processors such as the QX6850, and incorporates features such as SSE 4 instructions, hybrid gates built with hafnium, and 12MB of L2 cache, and increase from the earlier 8MB limit. In applications which support SSE 4 -- which does require specific coding -- users should receive a performance boost. The processor is by default clocked at 3GHz, and has a 1.33GHz front-side bus. Intel says that a November 12th release date is planned, although no prices have been published. [via Ars Technica]
AT&T this afternoon released the Pantech Duo, the carrier's first true dual-mode slider phone. Initially known as the C810, the handset follows the same style as the Helio Ocean and lets users either slip out a lateral QWERTY keyboard for messaging and browsing in landscape view or else a vertical number pad for quickly placing a call. Unlike its CDMA rival, the Duo runs on Windows Mobile 6 and allows for basic document editing with Office Mobile. The Duo should also be faster through built-in HSPA access that downloads at up to 1.4Mbps in real-world conditions, according to AT&T.
ASUS has solidified prices for the Eee PC in the US as well as its launch date, according to a leaked product sheet outlining details of the release. The company expects to launch three models that should vary significantly from the Taiwan release earlier this month. A top model, dubbed simply the 4G, will contain just half the memory and storage at 512MB and 4GB respectively but will include the webcam scrapped from the Asian edition; 4G Surf and 2G Surf versions will also be available and will drop some features to lower their respective prices, though these details are so far unknown aside from the use of 2GB in storage is certain on the 2G Surf. A reduction in memory to 256MB and the removal of the camera are possible.
Multinational carrier 3 is nearing release of the Skypephone, a mobile device dedicated to eBay's VoIP service, Reuters says. Although phones centered around VoIP are not unusual, the Skypephone is the first to be sold by a standard phone carrier; typically, VoIP devices are sold either by independent makers or by VoIP-only companies such as Vonage. The phone also retains the features of more advanced cellphones, offering everything from games and a mobile web browser to watching TV and downloading music from the 3 MusicStore.
Lenovo today surprised the North American PC business by releasing one of its previously Asia-only notebook models for the US. The Y410 adapts the China-made, 14-inch portable to the Western market and is one of the first American models to include the Shuttle Center control for playing back music and movies without booting the main system. Its lid-mounted 1.3-megapixel webcam is also unique among low-cost notebooks in allowing users to lock down their systems using face recognition rather than passwords or a fingerprint reader.
Sharp today introduced a completely new line of LCDs designed equally for computers and TV watching. The AQUOS P series is designed as much to sit on a desk as in a living room and is one of the first HDTV lineups to offer full 1080p video at small sizes; the 22-, 26-, and 32-inch sets all display up to 1920x1080 using either DVI, VGA, or one of the two available HDMI inputs. An integrated digital TV tuner and two 5-watt speakers allow the sets to operate independently of any outside device but can be used with a picture-in-picture mode to let users run a computer while keeping track of a TV show.
Motorola on Monday launched its new MOTOROKR T505 speakerphone designed both for hands-free calls and for music. The device clips to the overhead visor of a car and is designed to almost entirely avoid the need to reach for a cellphone while driving. In traditional mode, the T505 supports any handset with hands-free calling support and includes a microphone, an internal speaker, and vocalization of incoming caller ID. However, cellphones, Mac OS X Leopard systems, and other devices that support Bluetooth's A2DP profile can pair with the speakerphone to beam full stereo audio for music through to the car's built-in FM stereo; a play/pause button lets users quickly stop tracks to begin a call of their own, while music is automatically frozen for incoming calls.
NBC-Universal and News Corp today began the private beta of Hulu, their joint venture into web-based movies and TV. The service represents a break from both paid download stores and most free web-based sites by replicating the conventional TV model online: new ads are inserted in the place of the spots that would otherwise be left to traditional TV stations for both movies and TV shows. Hulu is also independent of any one provider, the founding companies say. While Fox shows like The Simpsons and NBC's The Office will be available, MGM and Sony have also promised their own movie and TV content.
NVIDIA today is releasing the GeForce 8800 GT, a new mainstream version of the company's fastest video card series. The chipset takes advantage of an improvement in the manufacturing process to allow much of the speed of top-performing cards with the single slot and cost of older cards. The new core is built on a 65-nanometer process (versus 90 nanometers) and runs far more efficiently: typical power use is 105 watts versus roughly 185 watts for a top-spec 8800 GTX, NVIDIA says. The GT can also potentially outperform the GTS by including more shader units to process pixels and vertices (112 versus 96) and faster clock speeds, boosting the core from 500 to 600MHz and reaching an effective 1.8GHz memory speed compared to the 1.6GHz of the GTS.
T-Mobile this morning inaugurated its second exclusive series of phones after the Sidekick. The HTC-designed T-Mobile Shadow is imagined as a smartphone for users who would rather not have the size and software of a phone meant for business. Its slide-out keypad borrows the SureType keyboard design of the BlackBerry Pearl to speed up text messaging; a scroll wheel also helps quickly scroll through music and message queues as well as scrub through videos. The Shadow also embraces Wi-Fi for wireless along with EDGE; the device is not set up for HotSpot@Home calling but sees improved data speeds, T-Mobile notes.

This gave me a rash similar to a heat rash. The smell is wonderful. I'll use the jar up on my feet and hands but that is all. Will not repurchase.

When I first tried this product, I had no reactions. The scent was lovely and I was impressed. Less than a week of using this, I started to feel really itchy on my belly bump and looked to find a rash had developed. I do have sensitive skin but I have been able to use scented products. I highly would not recommend this product and will be going back to using the Palmer's stretch mark therapy oil. It does a whole lot better job at moisturizing, stretch marks and preventing an itchy belly.

I picked this up during my pregnancy. Used it after showering, went toned, and woke up with a red, bumpy, itchy rash everywhere I had applied it. Tossed it. Beware!

I have been using this since about 6 weeks and now I am at 30 weeks. I am just starting to get some marks around my belly button and they are barly visible. My husband could barley see them. I think it helped with making sure my skin isnt dry and even making sure my marks were not that bad or that dark.
The butter is pretty thick and I need to use my nail to get it out of the jar. I mix my tummy butter with Vaseline Cocoa Butter body Gel. It goes on really smooth and easy and makes it absorb a lot faster.
I do believe that stretch marks have a lot to do with genetics and how quickly you gain weight. All my weight is in my belly so I am glad I was able to slow it down.
Will update after birth for final thoughts

Firstly, I do think that whether you get stretch marks or not depends on genetics. Some people do nothing, and they still don't get stretch marsk; others are obsessed with different butter/oil/creams and they still get stretch marks. So I think applying different creams and body butter will help moisturize your skin and hence making it less dry, which will result in less chances of itchy skin more prone to getting stretch marks.
My friend got this for me after I finished Weleda Pregnancy Oil. It was winter and my skin was really really dry (especially in tummy area). This really did moisturize my skin, but it took hours and hours for it to sink in. My skin felt so greasy!! I usually apply it at night, so my nightgown will be soaked in this, I'd have to change nightgown every day, since it felt greasy. I'd rather go back to using Weleda Pregnancy Oil.
Also, I am 36 weeks pregnant now and so far I've got no stretch marks. But I wouldn't really say it was for this cream, rather a combination of genetics and different oil/creams I used.

I don't have particularly sensitive skin but this cream gave me bad rashes. I bought this for my pregnancy stretch marks on my belly. Now I have red blotchy rashes and it's itchy like crazy. Arrrgghhh. I've never had reaction to any body lotion/cream before this.

I started to buy this Tummy Butter when I was about 3 months pregnant (Oct-ish of 2009). I used it EVERY day up to when I gave birth (and the accompanying stretch mark lotion from Palmers). I think I went through 5 tubs of it, and I still got stretch marks..
They didn't start to show up until I was around 7.5 months along, but then all of a sudden BAM, they were everywhere. I've always been skinny, and my skin just hit it's breaking point. (In the rear view mirror, I should have started using Bio Oil around 5 or 6 months along. The result would have been a lot better)
I can honestly say that this Tummy Butter did help to prevent some stretch marks, as in it could have been a lot worse. I only got them under my belly button, and a little on my hips. I have very fair skin, and most women that have a fair complexion tend to get more/darker stretch marks. It also prevented all of the itching that goes along with the growing stomach.
The problems I had with this product was the thickness of the Butter, the length of time it took to soak into my skin and the smell. It was such a process to rub this stuff all over my belly. It would take about 5-10 mins to rub in and then at least 10 to soak in.
I ended up getting the Stretch Mark Lotion from Palmers for random times throughout the day when I would start to feel an itch, or was just too lazy to use this Butter. It soaked in A LOT faster, but the moisturized feeling didn't last as long.

I've used Palmers Cocoa Butter lotion for a few years now, so when I became pregnant my husband bought me this Tummy Butter to prevent stretch marks. I did not like the consistency of this product AT ALL! Like others said, it is very wax-like & was very difficult to spread over my belly. It made me feel quite sticky & didn't absorb into my skin well. Instead I just used the regular Cocoa Butter lotion on my belly throughout my pregnancy and avoided getting any stretch marks.

i remember using this when i was pregnant 4 years ago i found this stuff thick and hard to rub in (it looks like a block of wax) it's very tacky and it made my tops stick to my pregnant belly. this will not stop stretch marks. i remember having a huge red mark on my belly so after the birth i got my self a tube of bio oil it works like a dream and faded the mark with in a month :)

I bought this to try to fight the existing stretch marks that have appeared randomly since I was 13. So a good 13 years. My stretch marks tend to be on the deeper side, nasty dark red and purple ones. So I figured hey, I'll try this.
+ Smells nice
+ Feels like you're actually getting something on there
+ Relatively cheap compared to other options
- Very VERY thick and hard to get out and spread evenly
- Doesn't seem to do anything for my stretch marks
- So far can't tell it has prevented new ones (once a day for 4 months of using here)
Sooo... I don't think I'll get a refill. Maybe it will help with preventing stretch marks on normal people who have a reason for them (well.. pregnancy for example :P) but doesn't seem to do much for deep random ones. I'll move on to find something else that doesn't take this much elbow grease to use.

Each year I organize a golf trip to the North Carolina mountains for sixteen (16) golfers. Unfortunately, the golf trip always lands on the same weekend as the local Relay for Life. I decided in February that the Relay for Life was going to be more important this year. The tenth annual Mountain Golf Trip was postponed, perhaps to the fall of 2005. I haven't played much golf this spring because of so many other priorities. However, I have been out recently and followed the doctor's advise to not hit any fat shots. With Chemo No. 3 right around the corner, I joined some friends and golf students to take in a round at the local Oak Hollow course. To my surprise I carded a 72 with two penalty shots in the water. Enjoyed a great spring day with friends and really took in the sounds of nature...of course its easy to enjoy yourself when you shoot par. Maybe there are some side effects of chemotherapy that are beneficial for my game!!!

Dear Reader,
I wanted to write an intricate mystery and a solid love story. (Because I don't tell anyone what I'm working on until there's a manuscript to be read, I get to make those kinds of decisions and spend a thoroughly enjoyable year writing.) This last year was a delight. I had good plot ideas, an ending that surprised even me, and two characters who became my good friends… Read full note from Dee

If you want to experience architecture beyond building, go see Avatar 3D. Once again, Hollywood has produced a challenge to buildings' claims to frame, define, and contain human-made reality. Put on those newly trendy 3D glasses, wait for the lights to go out, and you are thrown into an environment in which technology floats or nature envelops, and everything in-between, from buildings on the screen to the building in which you are sitting, disappears.
The 3D aspect takes care of the latter disappearance and thus continues a movement away from the staging of an alternate reality in an architectural framework to the creation of a completely anonymous and endless space. Sitting in a stadium auditorium, where the arc and slope of the seats cause the remainder of the context to fall away, you suddenly find fiction right there, floating in front of you, when Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), the main character, wakes up from his sleep in a pod and moves into the space right next to you. That pod is what remains of containment, and it is soon jettisoned. It is, however, the final defeat of building: Avatar's story hinges around lying down in the pod, closing your eyes, and waking up in the jungle on the far-away planet of Pandora.
There, human beings have built a military base, but the film's director, James Cameron, never gives us a sense of what its contours or structures are. It exists as a landing pad, cavernous hangars, perimeter fences, and giant digging machines. Only occasionally, somewhere in the background, something that looks like a barracks or utility structure appears. Inside this controlled environment, what matters is that the air, otherwise toxic to humans, is filtered. Otherwise, you see vistas into eternity, curves around corners, and, above all else, equipment, lots of equipment. Even that techno-stuff has only limited reality: it consists mainly of screens and scrims that cannot even contain information. With thoughtless ease, scientists swipe images from one surface to another, carrying it with them through space.
Yes, we have seen this all before, but what is different now is the naturalness of this reality verging on the virtual as it floats all around us. And after a few years of playing with our iPhones and Wiis, we know it is not just science fiction. This will be our world, this is almost already our world, this is a world in which the notion of framing, founding, fixing, and staging can perhaps only survive as apps that have not yet been invented.
Step outside of this human-made world and you are in a jungle so dense and comprehensive that it makes the Amazon look like a city park. This Pandora is not just filled with rapacious beasts and luminescent flowers, however, but also with a kind of people, the Na'vi. These blue-skinned amalgams of computer simulation and human scanned humans move up, sideways, and around the foliage, turning it into an endless jungle gym where there is, once again, no ground, middle, and top, no limits and no frames. Parts of it even float, like a Magritte painting, in mid-air. There is no home or a village here: the Na'vi live in an immense tree, sleeping in hammocks that curve around their bodies in imitation of the pods in which Sully, the interloper, is actually sleeping when his avatar leaps from limb to limb with his new friends
Cameron's message is unequivocal: human attitudes towards nature—from their desire to mine the ridiculously named unobtainium on Pandora, to their retreat into fortresses and their destruction of the great tree—are bad. Living in and with nature is good. What is remarkable is that the director gives us this message not just through the rather predictable story, but also through his spatial inventions. Watch Avatar 3D with the sound off and you still see the death of buildings. Buildings are bad—or, rather, irrelevant. Our choice is between swiping information and swinging from trees. Rapacious technology or revolution: architecture can be avoided.
I liked very much, if are intested in arcitecture and film, see www.cinearquitecturaciudad.blogspot.com
Report this as offensive
Beautifully stated Mr. Betsky. Your blogs pleased immensely.
Aaron's thesis misses the point and is annoyingly contrived. The world that Cameron and his team created is clearly an archetype of Eden, where God/Nature is the architect. Like the movie's antagonists, Aaron sees paradise as threatening and uncivilized. Yet, much like Earth's oceans, this organic place provides the physical, aesthetic, and spiritual needs of the native species.
the above post is just moronic. you should worship nature, because you are nature. unless you're a robot. are you a robot?,,, or just a moron?
Living in and with nature might be good in an imaginary Utopia, but much of the real world requires buildings that offer protection FROM nature. Beware of the Green movement turning us into worshipers of nature .

Would you like to ask our staff a question?
Join the discussion and leave a comment on this article
Giant Cell ArteritisA bad case of the flu? Probably. But these symptoms can also be the classic warning signs of a little-known but not so rare disease called Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA). If detected early enough, Giant Cell Arteritis is, if anything, more treatable than the flu. Left untreated, however, Giant Cell Arteritis can make you permanently blind. Doctors do not know what causes GCA or how it chooses its victims. GCA seems to be related, but we're not sure how, to another disease called Polymyalgia Rheumatica, which has similar symptoms and for which it is frequently mistaken. (Polymyalgia Rheumatica may last longer than Giant Cell Arteritis, but it does not cause blindness). Thankfully, doctors do know how to treat both diseases. What is Giant Cell Arteritis?
Also known as temporal arteritis and cranial arteritis, Giant Cell Arteritis is an inflammatory disorder that causes inflammation and swelling in the arteries of the head, neck and arms. This swelling narrows affected arteries, reducing blood flow. The inflammation seems to be triggered by some kind of infection or other outside cause.(1) While we do not know what this cause may be, some researchers have theorized that it may have something to do with ultraviolet (UV) light damage to the blood vessels around the retina, the light-sensitive part of our eyes.(2) It is this swelling that can reduce or cut off blood flow to the eye area and lead to blindness.
Who gets GCA?
Giant cell arteritis occurs exclusively in people who are 50 or older and it becomes more common with age. The average age of GCA victims is 70. It is uncommon in African-Americans, but slightly more common among women and fair-skinned people of northern European extraction.
Just a Headache?
Headache is the most common symptom of Giant Cell Arteritis. This is unfortunate because headaches are so common, with many causes, from simple tension to sinusitis to migraine, that your doctor would not normally suspect Giant Cell Arteritis. When your headache is accompanied by other signs of Giant Cell Arteritis, however, telling you to go home, rest and take two aspirin can have devastating consequences.
The Signs and Symptoms of GCA(3)
Confirming the Diagnosis
A doctor who sees some of these symptoms should suspect Giant Cell Arteritis and order a special blood test that measures the so-called erythrocyte (red blood cell) sedimentation rate (ESR). The ESR is greatly elevated in 95% of patients with Giant Cell Arteritis and is, therefore, very useful in confirming a clinical suspicion of this disease. However, many diseases besides Giant Cell Arteritis can cause an elevated ESR and so your doctor may want to confirm the diagnosis by performing a biopsy of the temporal artery, which is frequently affected by the disease. The temporal arteries are situated just below the skin of the temples and the biopsy procedure is almost risk free. The biopsy is studied by a pathologist under a microsope looking for inflammation and especially for very large inflammatory cells called "giant cells." It is these cells that are the basis for the disease's name.(4)
Anyone who is suspected of having Giant Cell Arteritis should not wait for a blood test or a biopsy. They should be started on a steroid such as prednisone right away. Steroid treatments usually last for at least three weeks before being tapered off.(5)(6)
Prednisone is a powerful steroid. Steroids can cause many side effects, especially in high doses. Some of these to watch out for or to consider are:
Giant Cell Arteritis is a very serious condition affecting seniors that can usually be diagnosed and tr eated successfully with the steroid prednisone. Because many of its symptoms are so similar to those of the flu and other relatively mild illnesses, however, it is fairly easy to miss. If the subtle warning signs of Giant Cell Arteritis are missed, blindness may result.
February 1, 2001
(1) Comment has been made olga irka
I feel that the above information is very helpful. I have been diagnosed in Feb.2010 with PMR/GCA, and have been on Prednisone since. The symptoms of PMR/GCA subside for a while, only to relapse with a vengance. I had a migraine type of headache in a 4 days in a row. Could only somehow control it with OTC meds for migraine. My doctor increased the Prednisone to 40 mg. for three days. I hope it will help. This is worse than a dogs life !!!! Sincerely, Olga Posted Fri, Jun. 25, 2010 at 5:18 pm EDT
