Daniel L. Hovland is an Article III federal judge for the United States District Court for the District of North Dakota. Hovland served as the Chief Judge of the Court from 2002 to 2009.[1] He joined the court in 2002 after being nominated by President George W. Bush.
Early life and education
A native of Minnesota, Hovland graduated from Concordia-Minnesota College with his bachelor's degree in 1976. He graduated from the University of North Dakota Law School in 1979.[2]
Professional career
Hovland started his career in 1979 as a law clerk for former North Dakota Supreme Court Justice Ralph Erickstad. In 1980, Hovland joined the North Dakota Attorney General's Office as an Assistant Attorney General. Hovland spent the remainder of his pre-judicial legal career, from 1983 to 2002, in private practice in the state of North Dakota. In addition to his private practice work, Hovland served as the Commissioner of the Bismarck Parks & Recreation District from 1992 to 2002 and also served as a part-time Administrative law judge in the North Dakota Office of Administrative Hearings from 1994 to 2002.[2]
Judicial career
District of North Dakota
On the recommendation of the entire North Dakota Congressional Delegation, Hovland was nominated by President George W. Bush on June 26, 2002 to a seat vacated by Patrick Conmy. Hovland was confirmed by the Senate on November 14, 2002 and received commission on November 26, 2002.[2]\
==Notable cases==Judge overturns North Dakota 2013 abortion law (2014)
United States District Court for the District of North DakotaIn April 2014, Judge Hovland struck down the 2013 North Dakota bill that banned abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected, which could be as early as six weeks into a pregnancy.[3][4] Judge Hovland used the precedent set in the Supreme Court of the United States's decision in Roe v. Wade, stating:
" | A woman's constitutional right to terminate a pregnancy before viability has been recognized by the United States Supreme Court for more than 40 years. The United States Supreme Court has clearly determined the dispositive issue presented in this lawsuit. This court is not free to impose its own view of the law. | " |
—Daniel Hovland[6] |
Judge grants injunction for North Dakota abortion restrictions (2013)
United States District Court for the District of North DakotaIn July 2013, Judge Hovland prevented a North Dakota law from going into effect, which would not allow abortions after a fetal heartbeat was detected. This often occurs around six weeks into a pregnancy, though guidelines, set by the United States Supreme Court, allow abortions at least until viability outside of the womb is possible, often around twenty-four weeks. In the opinion, Judge Hovland said,
" | The United States Supreme Court has unequivocally said that no state may deprive a woman of the choice to terminate her pregnancy at a point prior to viability.[7][5] | " |
Judge Hovland also alluded to the state opening up an expensive legal battle to challenge precedent set by the Supreme Court. At the time the bill was signed, Governor Jack Dalrymple referred to it as:
" | a legitimate attempt by a state legislature to discover the boundaries of Roe v. Wade.[8] [5] | " |

Lettering on dials Click here for an explanation of how dials work Some of the text below is taken from:- TELECOMMUNICATIONS INSTRUCTION,
C MARKETING, INSTALLATION, 3 Internal, M0015, Issue 1, Sept 1971. DIALS, AUTOMATIC, No's 1 to 9
Brighton Dial
The second letter and any following number refer to the type of pulse wheel, shown below.
Click here for
more information on the Brighton Dial
Prior to the introduction of the BPO No. 8 and 10 dials, each supplier had its own pattern and these were given numbers by the BPO as follows:-
With the introduction of the No. 10, most suppliers adopted this for telephones supplied to all customers, not just the BPO. ATM, however, favoured the Type 24 dial designed by Automatic Electric Inc of Chicago (introduced 1926) and supplied this to Hull Corporation and other private customers well into the 1960s. A variant of this was the dimple dial, using the same mechanism but a plastic finger wheel having moulded dimples instead of proper finger holes. These ATM dials were never adopted by the BPO, although many type 24 dials, taken from Hull Corporation Teles. 162, were brassed up in the 1970's and fitted to otherwise genuine BPO Teles. 150.
Dial No. 1
The first dial used in this country (known as Dial, Auto., No. 1) is shown
below. This was used on the ATM Co's Auto switching system. A minimum pause is not provided in this dial. The impulse springs normally rest in contact due to their own resilience instead of being pressed into contact by an impulse wheel. Impulsing is effected by causing the wings of a fibre butterfly cam to pass between the springs, so separating them. When the wing of the cam leaves the springs they fall together to form the �make� portion of the impulse. A ratchet, which can be seen in the side view, prevents the rotation of the cam while the finger plate is being pulled. The return motion of the dial is effected by a spiral spring (i.e., not a clock spring). It will be seen from fig. 31 that the method of operating the switching spring combination is not so robust as that of Dial, Auto., No. 10 and it was the undesirability of operating more than one spring set in this way which precluded the use of an instrument circuit such as the present standard
(Telephone No. 150).
Adjustment instructions for these dials are contained in circular A.T. 6 dated July, 1919.

Dial No. 3
The Dial No. 3, which provides minimum pause and which was used with Messrs. Siemens earlier equipments at Grimsby, Stockport and Southampton. This dial resembles the No. 1 dial in that a fibre cam is used to interrupt the impulse circuit and also in the method of operation of the switching springs.
Used on Telephones No's 77 or
Adjustment instructions for these dials are contained in a mimeographed circular dated March, 1924.

Dials No's 5 & 6
Dial, Auto., No. 6 used in association with the S. T. & C. Company�s rotary system at Dudley and
Darlington. The mechanism is totally enclosed. Externally the dial is unique in that the number ring rotates with the finger plate. This dial is similar to No. 5 which it superseded.
Dial No. 6 was used on Telephones No's 65 (Mark 235) and 76 (Mark 235). Superseded by Dial No. 8FW.

Dial No. 7
Similar to the No. 3 dial but was modified to give an impulse ratio suitable for the A.T.M.
Company�s system, and was enclosed to exclude gas. It was intended for use in mines, or where petrol was stored. Obsolete by 1928.
Dial No's 8 & 9
Dial No. 8
This Dial is the prototype of
Dial, Auto., No. 10 and its construction is essentially the same. The necessity for the introduction of the No. 10 dial arose when an improved telephone instrument circuit was developed (see T.I. XXV, Part 3). This circuit, which is the present standard, involves the use of two pairs of off normal springs instead of the single change over which may be seen in the illustration of the No. 8 dial
shown below.
This dial has a British Patent in the name of Siemens Brothers.
The adjustments of Dial, Auto., No. 10 and the instructions regarding the replacement of parts are applicable to No. 8 except in respect of the switching springs for which the following requirements are specified. The three switching springs must never be simultaneously in contact. The contact opening must not he less than 10 mils and the pressure exerted by the springs must be sufficient to ensure a distinct follow on either side.
Dial No. 8 - Front view - Rear view and view with finger and number plate
removed - Picture dated 1928
Dial No. 9
Until the introduction of the No. 10 dial the telephone used with pre-payment
type coin collecting boxes was equipped with Dial, Auto., No. 9 (Telephone
No. 119). This dial was the immediate forerunner of No. 11, described in para. 26. Dial, Auto., No. 9 differs from No. 11 in those particulars which distinguish the No. 8 dial from No. 10 and also differs slightly in the design of the auxiliary cam springs and impulse control cam.
The adjustments specified for Dial, Auto., No. 9 are the same as those for No. 8, and in addition the same specification is laid down for the auxiliary springs as for those on No. 11.
Should it be necessary to replace the main spring, remove the securing ring, celluloid label protector, and instruction card from the finger plate and loosen the screw in the gear wheel to release the tension in the main spring. In addition the finger stop, finger plate, securing ring for number ring, and number ring should be removed. The following parts should then be removed from the back of time dial in the order named:-

10 Best Holiday Beer Buys of 2012
PORTLAND, Ore. ( TheStreet) -- Stop your grousing and start sipping: It's finally holiday beer season.
Little more than a month ago were were just as dismayed by the number of wintry holiday brews on taps and store shelves as most calendar-watching Americans. We realize brewers have to get these varieties out so there aren't a bunch of spicy ales and tree-laden labels lingering around packaged-goods stores in January. We're also aware beer shipments that exceed 15 million barrels during peak summer months slowly trickle to about 12 million barrels in December and slightly less during the Thanksgiving holiday season in November, according to the Treasury Department's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.
We can even see why breweries would want to capitalize on the thirst for holiday beer as much as possible. About 92% of American holiday consumers add food and beverages onto their holiday shopping in 2012, but spending on that holiday party cheer has risen from $86 per person in 2008 to nearly $110 this year. That's a difference of almost a full case per person.
Still, with the fresh hop and pumpkin ales not quite finished, it seems a bit much. We left just about all of those early entrants off of this year's holiday beer wish list, a shame considering it knocked out our top holiday beer of 2011. In fact, nine out of our Top 10 holiday beers have changed for this season, giving us all the more reason to get into the spirit and make with the list already:

Local experts share landlord-friendly tips for sprucing up a rental home
By Tiffany Esshaki
Turning a house into a home can be stressful for anyone. But the process is even more complicated when you don't own your home.
In today's economy, there are plenty of families choosing to rent a home, condominium or apartment, as opposed to buying. While renting can take away much of the cost and stress of home ownership, it can also be difficult to customize a space, leaving many renters with homes that look outdated or impersonal.
But that doesn't always have to be the case, according to Michelle DiPiazza, owner of General Home Corp. property management service, which manages rental properties for landlords by negotiating leases, collecting rent, taking maintenance calls and more. She said that rental homes can often be altered more than a tenant might suspect — it's all about communicating with the owner.
"It's not something they're going to get reimbursed for, but renters will often ask to do things to the home to make it look nicer if they're going to be there for a long time, and as long as they get the landlord's approval, they usually will let them do things," said DiPiazza.
While most landlords will shy away from allowing a tenant to completely renovate a room, DiPiazza said that the most common update requested by tenants is to change paint colors.
"A lot of landlords make the mistake of painting a home plain white. For most people's homes, the paint colors you choose for your home reflect your personality," she said. "You have to get permission, and the color has to be approved by the landlord. If it's not a neutral color, the color must be returned to a neutral color when the tenant moves. And it has to be a professional job; otherwise, if there's paint on the trim or something that needs to be corrected, that could be deducted from the security deposit."
At Village Ace Hardware in Grosse Pointe, manager Denver Jean said he has plenty of customers who are renters looking to update their space with a fresh coat of paint, and he has recommendations just for them.
"We have Clark & Kensington Paint and Primer In One. It's a new brand of paint and it's a good one to start off with because it's all in one. It's just a one-step thing," he said, adding that the paint and primer combination is a good choice for renters, because it makes it quick and easy to return the walls to a neutral tone.
DiPiazza also said she's known tenants who have, with a homeowner's permission, changed carpeting, light fixtures, and even updated sink fixtures or appliances. Landlords, she said, will give their blessing if they think they'll benefit from the update.
"There was this renter, and the house had carpeting from 1976 in it. It was a golden shag carpeting. They put in brand-new brown carpeting, and painted the walls taupe. It made the house look totally different, and the landlord let them do it because those are things that are of value to them when you leave," she said.
Of course, not every renter is thrilled to spend money on a home they'll likely never own. DiPiazza said that tenants should also consider décor and home updates that could be transferred to another residence one day, such as window treatments or cabinet hardware. Even outdoor landscaping, like perennial plants, can be uprooted and planted at another home when a renter decides to move.
It's Your Window has been in downtown Royal Oak for 35 years to help people create distinctive interior designs with custom window treatments. Owner Doug Scheibner said that many people moving into a new home, whether it's their own or a rental, don't realize the dramatic effect that window décor can have on a living space.
"It's usually the last element of design that people look at when they're re-doing a room, and it really is the thing that brings all the colors, the flooring, the wall surfaces together," said Scheibner. "It's form and function, and also there's an aesthetic value."
It's Your Window specializes in custom-made window treatments, which can be a little more expensive than one-size-fits-all window dressings found in retail stores. While he said that there aren't too many options available on the ready-made market for window treatments, it's worth taking a look at your local store. If a renter doesn't like what they see, they can always come to him to get the kind of designs that can really turn a house into a home.
"A lot of time in rental units, you just have blinds. But if someone has a reasonable amount of money that they're willing to invest, they can really enhance it and make that space a little more special to them."

At the 2006 Hungarian Grand Prix, BMW Saubers Robert Kubica made history by becoming the first Polish driver to compete in a Formula One race. Last weekend, Kubica returned to the scene of his debut as an established driver with 15 race starts to his credit.
When he crossed the line in seventh place 12 months ago, there were plenty of raised eyebrows at the Hungaroring. On Sunday, however, few were surprised at his fifth place finish - proving just what a strong reputation he has built for himself in just one season.
As debuts go, Kubicas maiden outing in Budapest in 2006 was greeted with relatively little hype. Drafted in to replace injured former champion Jacques Villeneuve, Kubica was largely unknown outside the paddock. Yes, he had enjoyed some impressive practice sessions as the teams third driver, but with Villeneuve expected back in the BMW Sauber cockpit soon, Kubicas arrival warranted little attention.
Once on track, however, his natural speed and raw talent made an instant impression. Undaunted by his premature promotion into a world champions seat, Kubica qualified tenth and finished his first race in the points. Although he was eventually disqualified from his seventh place for an underweight car, his debut performance was astounding nonetheless.
When Villeneuve opted not to return, BMW Sauber didnt hesitate in signing up Kubica for the rest of the season; and just two races after his Hungarian disappointment, he found himself on the Monza podium after finishing third in Italy. Capably matching experienced team mate Nick Heidfeld for the rest of the season, Kubica had more than lived up to his early promise and at the seasons close, was just one point shy of Villeneuves tally of seven world championship points.
After being retained for 2007 by the German-Swiss team, Kubica has quietly continued to impress, though with debutant Lewis Hamilton stealing the limelight and a resurgent team mate to contend with, it has not been easy for the Pole. Heidfelds renaissance has been a cause for concern for Kubica, who has found himself consistently out-qualified and out-raced by the German. His consolation, however, is the fact that his own strong performances have forced Heidfeld to raise his game.
But Heidfelds form has not been Kubicas only challenge - he has been forced to show his mettle in other regards. At Junes Canadian Grand Prix he was involved in one of the most serious and dramatic accidents seen in Formula One racing for quite some time. With little more than his cars monocoque intact after the collision, Kubica was hospitalized with concussion and was advised to skip the following weekends race at Indianapolis.
The accident, however, did not mark the end of the fairytale. In fact, after shrugging off what would have shaken many, Kubica seems to have emerged even stronger from his Montreal adventure. He has since enjoyed four strong finishes, including fourth places in France and Britain. Eleven rounds into his first full Formula One season and he has already accrued 28 points.
No wonder then that Kubica remains widely regarded as a future race winner - if not world champion - by his peers and pundits alike. His determination to succeed remains undiminished and, though he is the first to admit that he has had his ups and down, he has learnt a lot of valuable lessons over the past 12 months.
Of course, there were good moments but also bad moments as in life as a whole and all drivers had good memories and bad feelings, he said in Hungary. But we are concentrating on the future. At every Grand Prix, every day you have a new experience, which you have to use in the future.
Formula One racings annals are littered with stories of young drivers unable to fulfill their early promise. However, those in the know believe Kubica wont be one of them. Yes, he has plenty left to prove, but just one year into his Grand Prix career and he has already achieved more than many manage in a lifetime. More importantly, aged just 22, he still has plenty more time in which to deliver.

The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-obestic effects of ursolic acid isolated from the roots of Actinidia arguta, as well as the mechanism of action of this compound. This was conducted by testing whether ursolic acid inhibited the elevation of the rat plasma triacylglycerol levels after oral administration of a lipid emulsion containing corn oil in rats. Ursolic acid prevented the elevation of plasma triacylglycerol levels 2 h after oral administration of the lipid emulsion at a dose of 100 mg/kg. Furthermore, ursolic acid inhibited phosphodiesterase activity in vitro with an IC50 of 51.21 μM and enhanced lipolysis in rat fat cells. We suggest that the inhibitory effects of ursolic acid, isolated from the roots of A. arguta, on obesity, might be attributable to the inhibition of lipid absorption through the inhibition of pancreatic lipase and by enhancing lipolysis in fat cells.

September 27, 2011
By Jeff Skrzypek
EUGENE, Ore. — Attorneys of a Springfield mother accused of killing her newborn baby are claiming she was never actually pregnant.
As Angelica Swartout continues to be held at the Lane County Jail for allegedly killing her son Lucious, her lawyers have filed a motion that disputes she was ever pregnant in the first place and that investigators have no proof of a live birth.
They claim there is "no blood evidence in the motel where the state alleges the birth took place."
And they say investigators failed to conduct anything beyond a basic investigation, so the burden of a lack of evidence falls on the state.
They also say when Swartout told her family she was pregnant, she received love and focused attention for the first time in her life. And due to family dynamics, she didn't know any other way to avoid admitting that she had had a still birth.
"She has some 60 something adopted brothers and sisters, and there's a special place for pregnant mothers and babies in that family," said Gordon Mallon, Swartout's lawyer.
"The claim that she didn't receive the love and attention of our family and that was the first taste of it she got is completely fabricated," said Jewel Sward, Swartout's sister.
Sward says she has no doubt her sister was pregnant, saying she felt and saw baby Lucious moving before he was born.
Swartout's lawyer though argues that people can often fake a pregnancy by pushing their stomach out.

Poem To A Lost Son From His Grieving Mother. (Losing A Child…Missing Your Child.)
Poem To A Lost Son From His Grieving Mother. (Losing A Child…Missing Your Child.)
Today my beautiful twincesses are 27 months old.
I know there are many mothers out there who grieve their lost child every single day of the week. Most will admit certain times of the year are harder than others to get through. Birthdays, anniversaries, Mother's Day, and the list goes on. Those are worst ones for me. My angel celebrated his 17th birthday with the angels in heaven recently. Its been hard.
I know writing doesn't come easy to everyone, but I think everybody should try it. It helps your heart, your mind, and is very therapeutic for the soul. It doesn't have to be poetically 'good', it just has to have feeling. Through feeling there is healing. It's hard..yes, but to keep emotions bottled up inside, in the end, becomes way harder to handle. I have been there.
Here is a poem I wrote on my baby's birthday.
To My Baby Boy..A Young Man On His 17th Birthday
Today you would be 17, no longer just a child,
You'd be a young man moving on, to college in awhile.
I'd be so proud, I'd clap my hands, as you'd take your degree,
But I won't get to see these moments, they were robbed from me.
Today you'd be my big boy, chasing girls and chasing dreams,
Finding your place in this world, figuring out what true love means.
You'll never get to find love, or to pick your path unknown,
God sent you to the heavens, without a road to lead you home.
Today I cry in my heart, as I mourn this greatest loss,
A son gone from his mother, a bright star of endless cost.
No chance to watch you marry, when you find your saving grace,
No grand kids here to spoil, not a one that bares your face.
Today I'll hold in my heart, not just son but life's best friend,
And re-live all the memories, wondering why they had to end.
I pray you'll be beside me, as again I let you go,
Still knowing that within me, is the place you'll always grow.
You forever grow in my heart son. My love is never ending. You give me strength to carry on…I owe my life to you. Be with me today and always. We love and miss you. Me and your siblings celebrate your life, on this your special day.
Happy birthday in heaven my angel.
Love always and forever,
(Poem copyright Shelly @ Twinpossible.com 2012.)
(Without permission.)
It's really a terrific thing to write down your feelings when you are sad, lonely, hurt, in need of a friend but no one is around, or nobody 'gets it'. If you have anything in your heart that needs to pour out, let it pour out onto paper.
You can also feel free to write me anytime for a friend if you are ever in need of speaking with someone who really understands your pain. Thanks for reading, as this was therapy for my own soul.

I was disapointed in this item. the chain is nice but the heart is very small and not a real heart shape..way too small for the chain..the heart should be bigger in comparison to the chain. not worth the money.
I haven't gotten any compliments on this piece.... because I am too embarrased to wear it. It looks cheap. :( I expected more from the pics and the "original price".... but it did arrive fast - about 4 days.
I looked everywhere for this necklace, so when I finally found it on Overstock, I was thrilled. But before I bought it, I had to take some things into consideration. I break out from most jewelery, except from most sterling silver pieces. I've bought some sterling silver jewelery that I've broken out from, so I wasn't sure what to think of this. Well I decided to buy it. Once I got it, It was not what I expected. I didn't really like the chain part. The loops just looked funny to me. I wore it out with a sweater a couple of times now, and I keep getting compliments and asked where I've gotten it. SO now my opinion has changed. I really actually like it. PLUS...I never broke out from it...so it passed my test on that.
I received this necklace yesterday, I am so impressed with it! I have a bracelet that came from "T"-store in NY that I love. I almost purchased this same design of necklace for a LOT more from there, I am SO glad I checked Overstock! I like the size of this necklace, as I am not big on anything too chunky, this is perfect for me. It has a good heavy feel like the bracelet I own from Tiffany's. I have noticed that when people talk to me they look at this necklace more than they do at my face! I have already received compliments on it and people never think that it is not from T's. I have the bracelet coming to match this necklace as well. Very, very please with this purchase!!!!!!
Nice watch, love it! Would recommend it to anyone! Thanks O.com
I've been pondering this product for a couple of weeks after reading other reviews and decided to go ahead and buy it. A few people complained that the chain would tangle..I haven't had that happen to me. I honestly don't understand how the necklace tangles. The only irritant that I find is that once in a while (like every other necklace out there) the heart and toggle would turn around. But lets be honest, it's a quick fix. The necklace is very shiny, it's lighter than the Tiffany version, the chain is thinner than the Tiffany version but I love it. The heart is engravable which is great because I'm getting our anniversary date and initials engraved into it. You honestly can't always go by reviews ladies, there are people who are WAY too picky and it ruins things for others. Great necklace, very shiny, not heavy. I recommend it. Merry Christmas.
I bought this necklace as a gift for my nieces for a graduation gift and they loved it!!
I was not impressed with this necklace. It has not weight to it.
I really like this piece, not too shiny and not too dull. Easy to take off and on using the toggle clasp. The heart attached to it makes it easy to create your own initial or lettering on it. It is just the right size to match the weight of the necklace. IIt doesn't pull the necklace downward. A very beautiful piece, I got alot of compliments
Nice for the price, but a little lighter than I expected. Still a pretty good quality piece for the price. I don't think it looks cheap at all and I really think it is a beautiful necklace. I wear it regularly and it shines up beautifully with a polishing cloth.

Feature Articles
A DEATHLY HOLLOW? by Oisín McGann
(Poetry Ireland News, September/October 2007)
And so it ends. Ten years and seven books later, Harry Potter has finally cast his last spell. I write this in the knowledge that a review of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows is somewhat redundant. Who cares what reviewers have to say?
Once again, Joanne Rowling has produced an action-packed page-turner full of imagination and thrills. But this was the end of a series, and unlike other kinds of books, the individual plot and the development of characters do not present the only great challenges. Deathly Hallows, like The Return of the King, The Last Battle, or Return of the Jedi, has a lot of tidying up to do.
Harry is about to turn seventeen, marking the end of the protective spell left by his mother. The Death-Eaters are hunting him, and they are setting up an ambush even as the Order of the Phoenix prepares to rescue him. The first few chapters feature a bewildering number of characters – at least a dozen on either side, not counting all the incidental ones who duck in and out – attempting to tie up loose ends from the other books. It slows the pace and makes the telling complicated. This problem lurks all the way through the book, with some very drawn-out explanations of various characters' fates interfering with the plot's drive.
Rowling tackles this problem further into the story by having Harry, Hermione and Ron become fugitives as they embark on the quest set for them by Dumbledore. They must find the Horcruxes – the talismans created by Voldemort to house the fragments of his soul. The story is now more focused on the three main characters as they tackle the problem of finding and destroying the Horcruxes and deciphering the link between Harry and Voldemort – while trying to avoid the predatory Death-Eaters and foil Voldemort's machinations to take over the Ministry of Magic.
In every children's story, there is the problem of grown-ups. Responsible adults don't let children fight dangerous villains. This benevolence is normally avoided by having a threat that the kids are aware of, but one that remains unrecognised by the grown-ups. However, in Deathly Hallows this is stretched to the breaking point. After six books, everyone knows Voldemort is out there, and yet Dumbledore – and, to a lesser extent, all the other powerful adult magicians – all appear ready to let a schoolboy take on this super-powered 'Hitler' alone.
At the same time, the Death-Eaters succeed in turning the public against Harry and his supporters. People seem very easily convinced that thing long-standing hero has suddenly become a sly and villainous conspirator. Despite this new handicap, Harry has to reject all assistance and keep his quest a secret throughout, and the reason why – when it is finally given – falls a little flat. I'm ready to believe in a magical world, but the human interaction must still be realistic.
On top of the long-winded explanations, there are two scenes where the gears really grind; a seemingly endless flashback of Snape's life that could have been rendered much more gracefully – he remains one of my favourite characters – and a deus ex machina appearance by Dumbledore.
But the same qualities that made the other Harry Potter books so popular are still to be found here: there is the same invention, escapism, and that contrast of horror and whimsy, although much of the humour of the earlier books has disappeared. This has evolved into a dark, brooding story and though Harry has not developed hugely as a character over the series, his doubts in his fundamental beliefs are an enlightening challenge to young readers.
Harry's last, thrilling confrontation with Voldemort marks the end of an era, and many will be wondering if anything will fill the empty hollow that has been left. For writers like myself, there is a mixture of gratitude and relief. For years, Harry Potter has created opportunities, expanded marketing budgets and shone light on the world of children's books worldwide. But this star's gravity has also distorted the industry and contributed to a culture of hype that has done almost as much harm as good to publishing.
As the curtain is lowered on Harry Potter's adventures, however, it must be said that Joanne Rowling truly cast a spell over her readers...and there is no greater achievement for any storyteller. I hope her own phenomenon will not prevent her from telling us more stories.
Oisín McGann's latest novel, for readers aged 12 and upwards, is Ancient Appetites (Doubleday, 2007).

In the ROTC Advanced Course, you will learn advanced military tactics and gain experience in team organization, planning and decision-making.

Shadow The ExpertsSenior ROTC cadets get the valuable experience of working alongside and observing up-close, experienced Guard Officers as they solve problems and interact with the troops. This understudy program is called Simultaneous Membership Program (SMP). Cadets leave this program with valuable knowledge and earn drill pay at the rate of Sergeant -in addition to your regular ROTC stipend. The Gold at the End of the ROTC Challenge, Second Lieutenant, Army National GuardAt the end of your ROTC program awaits the single gold bar of a Second Lieutenant. You will command respect and be called upon to lead with judgment, knowledge and experience. You can go through this program by way of an ROTC scholarship that pays for college, or as a cadet who pays for his or her own way. Regardless, when you look back on your ROTC experience you'll remember a strong sense of purpose, camaraderie and belonging.

how long until BuSpar starts to work, likelihood BuSpar will work for your condition, and BuSpar vs. other Anxiolytics/Anti-anxiety

Comparatively Effective
Two of the most important things to know when deciding on which med is the best for a particular condition1: how likely is it to work and how long will it take.
The odds of a med working for a particular condition and how long it generally takes to work should be fairly easy to nail down, and not need to be summed up by the Internet shorthand YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary). Aside from it being hard enough to get an accurate diagnosis when brain cooties are involved, why is it so difficult to figure out if BuSpar (buspirone) is right for you and how long it will take for you to know that?
- Because no one is quite sure exactly what causes various conditions.
- Which is further complicated when everything is a spectrum disorder (e.g. bipolar 1, bipolar 2, all the others they still ignored in DSM-5).
- And they're never really sure about how BuSpar works in the first place.
- Plus, if you have more than one condition for which you're taking one or more medications to treat, things get really complicated.
- None of which is helped by studies that produce contradictory results and other quirks in The Literature.
Always remember: if your symptoms suddenly get a lot worse, call your doctor immediately. Any drug that makes your symptoms worse is a drug you probably need to stop taking as soon as possible.
We reference a shitload of studies here, so you might want to see our pages on how to deal if a study is legitimate and the tests and methodologies researchers use to measure the efficacy of medications, including during clinical trials to get FDA approval.
How Long Until BuSpar (buspirone) Starts Working
Because of the nonlinear pharmacokinetics, it's hard to know when you should get an effect from BuSpar, but Bristol-Myers seems to think two to three days should be sufficient. Like most things that work on your serotonin, especially as this is likely to augment an antidepressant, I would make that two to three weeks to decide if BuSpar helping at all.
How Effective BuSpar (buspirone) is for its Approved Uses
BuSpar seems to be immensely variable in how it hits people — even studies showing its effectiveness noticed this. Like most meds, it's all a matter of hitting the right neurotransmitters in the right ways. But since it's low on the side effects and non-addictive, it's worth a stop on the med-go-round if you're experiencing SSRI poop-out or inadequate relief of anxiety disorders with an SSRI.
Likelihood BuSpar (buspirone) will Work for Off-Label Applications

You don't have to buy anything. Look around. Share what you like with your Pinterwit friends. Maybe they'll buy it for you. Probably not.
How BuSpar (buspirone) Compares with Other Drugs for Off-Label Treatments
Don't worry about actually buying one. Windows shop and share the designs you'd like to buy or find worthy of ridicule. What else are you doing now? Working? Sure you are.

If you have any questions not answered here, please see the Crazymeds BuSpar discussion board. We welcome criticisms of the articles, notifications of bad links, site problems, consumer experiences with medications, etc. I'm not always able to write back. Hence I never answer questions about meds via e-mail that are answered by this or other articles. Especially if they have been repeatedly asked on the forum. That's why we write these damn things. Questions about which meds are best for your condition should also be asked on the forum; because this is a free site, so the price of admission is making things easier for somebody else searching for the same answer. We don't deal with children on the forum or in private because after doing this for ten years I don't have the emotional stamina to deal with kids who have brain cooties.

Know your sources!
Nobody on this site is a doctor, a therapist, or a pharmacist. We don't portray them either here or on TV. Only doctors can diagnose and treat an illness. While it's not as bad as it used to be, some doctors still get pissed off by patients who know too much about medications, so tread lightly when and where appropriate. Diagnosing yourself from a website is like defending yourself in court, you suddenly have a fool for a doctor. Don't be a cyberchondriac, thinking you have every disease you see a website about, or that you'll get every side effect from every medication1. Self-prescribing is as dangerous as buying meds from fraudulent online pharmacies that promise you medications without prescriptions.
All information on this site has been obtained through our personal experience and the experiences family, friends, what people have reported on various reputable sites all over teh intergoogles, the medications' product information / summary of product characteristic (PI/SPC) sheets, and from sources that are referenced throughout the site. As such the information presented here is not intended as a substitute for real medical advice from your real doctor, just a compliment to it. You should never, ever, replace what a real doctor tells you with something from a website on the Internet. The farthest you should ever take it is getting a second opinion from another real doctor. Educate yourself - always read the PI/SPC sheet or patient information leaflet (PIL) that comes with your medications and never ever throw them away. OK, you can throw away duplicate copies, but keep at least one, as that's your proof of purchase of having taken a med in case a doctor doubts your medical history. Plus they take up less space than a bottle, although keeping one inside of a pill bottle is even better.

We like them, or they're paid advertisements, or they're something else we think you should read to help you make an informed decision about a particular med. Sometimes they're more than one of those things. But what's on those sites is their business, not ours.
Very little information about visitors to this site is collected or saved. From time to time I look at search terms used and which pages they bring up in an effort to make the information I present more relevant. And the country of origin, just because I'm geeky like that. That's about it. Depending on how you feel about Schrodinger, our privacy policy should either assuage or exacerbate your paranoia.

1 While there are plenty of books to help you with hypochondria, for some reason there's not much in the way of websites. Then again, staying off of the Internet is a large part of curing/managing the disorder.
2 Remember kids, Microsloth operating systems are like TOS Star Trek movies with in that every other one sucks way, way more. With TOS Star Trek movies you don't want to bother watching the odd-numbered ones. With Microsloth OS you don't want to buy and install the even-numbered ones. Anyone who remembers ME and Vista knows what I mean.
3 Have I mentioned how open source operating systems for commercial applications is one of the dumbest ideas in the history of dumb ideas? I don't even need my big-ass rant any more. Heartbleed has made my case for me. And that's just the one that got all the media attention. The very nature of an open source operating system makes security as much of an illusion of anonymity. Before you flip out too much: the domain Crazymeds is hosted on uses a version of SSL that is not affected by the Heartbleed bug. That's one of the many reasons why I pay a lot of money and keep this site on Lunarpages.

Being a team principal is no easy task, even if, like Caterhams Cyril Abiteboul, youve been in and around Formula One racing for a long time. The Frenchman stepped into Tony Fernandes shoes as Caterham boss back in November and now faces the challenging task of moving the three-year-old team up the grid. We spoke to him about how hes settled into his new role and how he intends to move the Leafield squad forward
Q: Cyril, in politics there is a 100-day grace period for somebody new in office. Youve been Caterham team principal for over 100 days now. Have you settled in yet?
Cyril Abiteboul: I wish
but going back to the first 100 days, it all depends when you start to count. Ill be full time with Caterham from January 2013 - until then Ill continue to split my time between my new role with the F1 team and my previous job at Renault Sport F1. This will allow me to tie up a number of outstanding projects for Renault and will make the move to Caterham as seamless as possible for everyone, including my successor at Renault. However, I do have to say that Ive been given a very warm welcome at Caterham and I already feel like Ive been part of the team for a long time. There are a number of reasons why I took up the challenge that Tony and Kamarudin (Meranun) gave me with Caterham and one of the strongest was the spirit within the team. We have a very talented, dedicated group of people, naturally excited by the racing project, but also by the road-car project we are involved in with Renault, as that brings real substance to our work.
Q:What qualities do you bring to the table?
CA: Before the three years I spent at Renault Sport F1, I was with the Renault F1 team. While I was there I lived through many different times, great highs and great lows, but that experience gave me the chance to learn a lot, working alongside a number of very strong characters. In addition to that specific experience within a team, my years at Renault Sport F1 have also provided me with an insight into how all of Renaults partner teams go racing, and what has helped put them on top of the podium so many times over recent years. But here it is important that we make a distinction. I am not team principal of Caterham because of my technical skills, I am here because I have the ability to get the best out of the technical people who are working for us, and to make sure we are run efficiently and are using our budget as best we can to push our way up the grid. My years with Renault and with other teams in F1 have given me a unique insight into the bigger picture of what it takes to win in F1 and that is what I bring to my new role. Finally, the experience I have of working within a large industrial group is also very useful for the processes, the structure and the governance that are integral to the running of a company like Renault. F1 teams have no reason to be run differently from any other companies in that respect and I bring my experience of that to Caterham.
Q: How will you go about the job? What was the first thing to get your attention?
CA: The first task I had was to understand what is and isnt working well in the team across all our functions. I have the benefit of having had distance from the detailed workings of the team, but also am well aware of what its strengths and weaknesses are, having been involved in the team since Renault became its engine supplier in 2011. So I was immediately in position to be able to accurately map out where the team needs attention and what we are already doing well. Its obvious that in 2012 we did not meet our own expectations, and we have a lot of work to do to reach the level of performance we need to be at to satisfy our partners and ourselves. Thats the main task now -to create both short- and long-term plans that divert funding into areas that give us tangible value, and to ensure we build on the good work done by Tony, Kamarudin and Riad (Asmat, Caterham Group CEO) in giving us the foundations to build on.
Q: You experienced a big moment with the team when in the very last race of the season you snatched P10 in the constructors championship from Marussia. What did that mean for you, not just in terms of prestige but also in financial terms?
CA: The end of the Brazil race meant two things to me: firstly it means we are on a better financial footing than if we had finished 11th. The benefits of that are obvious and it means we have not had to compromise our 2013 or future plans. The money is obviously important, but what finishing tenth also meant to me was that it showed our team what it felt like to be part of the show, and thats something that has been missing for most of the 2012 season. We started out with a good gap to the teams behind, and with work to do to catch the teams ahead. At the European GP in Valencia we were as close as weve ever been to truly racing one of the teams ahead, but since then we have been almost racing on our own. That means the boys in the garage and everyone back at the factory has been missing the adrenaline rush of real competition, missing the emotional highs of success. The power those emotions have to inspire is undeniable. Our whole team had that feeling for every lap of the Brazilian race, and it was very special to see what it meant to everyone when Vitaly (Petrov) brought his car home in 11th. This positive energy will be immensely useful for the work we have ahead of us over the winter
Q: Have you experienced any of the politics that come with your new position?
CA: I have had a little taste of that in the past, for instance in the creation of FOTA and the subsequent negotiation of the 2009 Concorde Agreement. So there has already been some politics, but if I didnt want to engage in that, as well as everything else my job involves, I would have stayed at home. The debates that take place across every aspect of F1 are yet another reason why our sport attracts so much attention, and, lets be honest, our own attention. We have influence on the socio-political environment of each race venue we attend and our sport employs tens of thousands of people. We are working at not only the highest level of international sport, we are also working at the top of corporate environments worldwide and that is challenging and hugely rewarding.
Q: Caterham have only named one driver so far for 2013: Charles Pic. He is one of the youngest drivers on the grid. What do you see in him?
CA: Charles is an extremely exciting prospect. In his first year in F1 he was quick immediately, running some good times and long distances in his first days in the car in testing. From there he developed quickly and his record against Timo (Glock) over the year was impressive. On circuits hed already raced at he was particularly strong and that tells us that in 2013 hell be quicker still, with a year under his belt and knowledge of every track now banked forever. We believe that Charles will continue to develop with us and the infrastructure we can give him will help him unlock more pace and develop his feedback better so we can continue to turn him into one of the superstars of the future. He made his first visit to the team on Wednesday last week and he immediately really impressed everyone with his understanding not only of the car, but also of its engineering. That shows that he not only understands how to race, but how to get the best out of his car.
Q: What kind of driver are you looking for as a team mate for a youngster with one season under his belt? Is the right driver still available?
CA: There are different options. One option is someone who he can learn from and who he can use as his benchmark for what we want from both our drivers. Another option, more radical, is to accept the fact that 2013 is a transition year that we use to continue building the team before a period of greater stability in 2014, when a lot of other things in the package will change. Both types of candidates are out there, and we are close to making a decision.
Q: The team has been in Formula One racing for three seasons, always finishing higher than the other teams that also joined the sport in 2010. But that wont do forever will it? What do you want to achieve in 2013?
CA: Absolutely, we cannot be satisfied with that title anymore. I would like to be able to say that we raced teams ahead of us and had some more of what we felt in Brazil. However, I think maybe we overstated what was achievable in 2012. For 2013 Id like to look back and say we continued to develop as a team, seized whatever opportunities came our way and surprised a few people, without compromising the preparation for 2014. For small teams like us 2014 is just as much a major risk -due to our size in particular as it is an interesting opportunity, due to the quality of the technical relationship with Renault. Anyway, we have the capacity to do that and we are determined to fight harder than ever to succeed, so I hope 2013 is a year we remember for the right reasons.

The room was not satisfactory. the toilet leaked and refilled often(very annoying at nite).
The bathroom vent system was not working.
There is a very noisy machine(possibly the elevator) near this room. The noise was intermittent and made sleep difficult.

Good people, clean rooms, what I expected and what I got.
Great property
February 23, 2015
I live in the neighborhood and have often been to this hotel for corporate functions, weddings and things like the marching band award dinner. I had never seen the actual hotel rooms until this trip. I was really surprised at how nice the rooms where as well as the great buffet breakfast. My daughter and I enjoyed a movie in the room and the fact that our door opened up on the beach!
We also enjoyed the hot tub.
Loved it and will certainly return for another overnight stay!

Kate Middleton has secured her status as a fashion icon, but the Duchess of Cambridge is understandably keen to make a good impression on her upcoming trip to the US and Canada.
This will be Kate's first engagement with Prince William as an official member of the royal family, and she's said to have been working carefully on what items will make up her wardrobe, with the help of personal shoppers.
Style advisors from upmarket stores Selfridges and Harvey Nichols have reportedly been advising the brunette beauty, 29, on her wardrobe for the trip, Grazia reports.
And designer Sarah Burton of the Alexander McQueen – who created Kate's stunning lace wedding dress – is also said to be giving advice, after the future Queen was spotted leaving her head offices in London last week.
Kate hasn't put a foot wrong in the style stakes so far. She was photographed at Wimbledon yesterday, enjoying the game between Andy Murray and Richard Gasquet, wearing a very summery white tiered, scalloped cream Temperley's Moriah dress.
The designer dress got the thumbs-up from fashionistas; but Kate is also a big fan of high street stores including Zara and Reiss, with outfits she's sported from the shops in the past selling out in hours.
- Actress Katie Holmes praises Kate and Pippa's "incredible" style
- Take a peek at the duchess's Temperley's Moriah dress
- Reiss Shola dress becomes eBay favourite
- Kate's letter writing spells trouble...
But this trip is no doubt extremely important to both Kate and Prince William, and the duchess will want to make sure she's got an outfit for every possible occasion – including Canada Day celebrations, the Montreal Jazz Festival and a glamorous black-tie reception which the royal couple will be attending.
Meanwhile Hollywood actress Katie Holmes has called Kate and her little sister Pippa's style "incredible".

Costume quality, more than any other aspect of theater, is determined by money. If you've got a lot of it, you can dress your actors as cats, French aristocracy, Queen Elizabeth, or anything else. If you don't have any, you dress them in corduroy and denim. So let's take a moment to praise a decision that had almost nothing to do with money, though it was made in service of a production with plenty of money to throw around. To wit: to dress Shane R. Tanner in tights that were ever so slightly too small in Actors' Playhouse's wonderful 1776. The tights were a very light gray — under the lights, they became the color of an aviation cocktail — and if they didn't show absolutely everything as Tanner tromped angrily around the stage singing "Molasses to Rum," they showed enough. The man has beautiful thighs. His quads could crack a Brazil nut, and do unspeakably wonderful things to any softer-fleshed critter. His calves are constructed of the same curves and angles God first employed to create the hindquarters of a horse — sensuous, meaty, almost edible. You want to touch them. Or bite them. At the very least, you want to see them again.
