Field Guide: Kids First
By Editor-in-chief Joan Hamilton
In this issue you will find associate editor Tracy Baxter paddling a canoe in the bayous of Louisiana. Usually an indoorswoman, Baxter braved the wilds and the water mainly because she cares about kids. Her first step was convincing us to build this issue of Sierra around "The Next Generation." Her next was immersing herself in kids' reality. That's not easy for any adult, but Baxter got her feet wet on a Sierra Club trip for inner-city youngsters last spring. In a year when activists from Puget Sound to the Potomac have been battling for stronger air standards to protect children's health, the timing of the issue turned out to be perfect.
We tapped Dianne Dumanoski to write our lead feature about kids and pollution. A former reporter and columnist for The Boston Globe, Dumanoski is a master at sifting and translating science for lay readers. She co-authored "Hormone Impostors," Sierra's January/February cover story about endocrine-disrupting chemicals. In this issue she writes about the problems these chemicals and other pollutants may be causing in kids, including increased incidences of asthma, cancer, learning disorders, and impaired immune and reproductive systems.
From there, we move to more positive trends. Perhaps you've heard the tale about how the Sierra Club's 24-year-old president, Adam Werbach, asked his second-grade classmates to sign a petition to dump Interior Secretary James Watt in the early 1980s. "I still had to ask for permission to ride my bike to the 7-Eleven," Werbach says, "but I could make a difference." He's been busy inspiring young people to save the planet ever since. And he's not alone, as you will learn in "Class Acts," a collection of youth profiles by Baxter and staff writer/editor B.J. Bergman.
Completing the package is Baxter's canoeing saga, "Into the Outdoors." Torrents, toothy alligators, boat raceseven a dash of Creole cookingcan lead to greater nature know-how when Sierra Club leaders team up with lively kids.
The youngsters Baxter profiles are doing their part: they greet the day with openness and hope, even though the world we have given them is far from perfect. It's our job to make sure there are still wild places and plenty of clean air and water for them in the future. "If we don't put the security of our children first," Baxter counsels, "we severely diminish the well-being of all."

Turnbull Griffin Haesloop deftly weaves architecture into the landscape, and vice versa.
This second home in Petaluma, Calif., is a modern take on a barn for a family that wants to work the land on their weekends off.
ra50 architects tell us what they like best?and least?about practicing in their chosen field.
The most striking feature of the 1960s teardown that once occupied this Atherton, Calif., site—the Grand Award-winner in the Custom Home / 3,000 to 5,000 square feet category—was its manmade pond. When the longtime owners decided to build a new residence on the same spot, they asked architects Mary...
When architects Mary Griffin and Eric Haesloop first saw the land for this northern California project, they knew just how to site the house.
In much of our work, we spend a lot of time detailing to make things look really minimal," says Eric Haesloop, AIA, LEED AP, a principal at the San Francisco firm Turnbull Griffin Haesloop Architects.
The clients' memories of their Catskills cabin inspired the design of this summer compound. Eric Haesloop, AIA, and Mary Griffin, FAIA, took their idea several steps further, reinventing the log cabin vernacular with a main house and guest cabins that evo
This vacation home is not what the clients envisioned when they signed up Blue Hill, Maine-based Elliott Elliott Norelius Architecture. According to project architect Eric Reinholdt, the clients, a retired couple, "wanted a pretty traditional-style home."
"We're not Costco shoppers," Anne Evans told Eric Haesloop, AIA, and Mary Griffin, FAIA, before they started designing her vacation home. This tidbit of information let Haesloop and Griffin know they didn't need to include tremendous amounts of storage sp
Architect Mary Griffin had lived in this house—the oldest in Sausalito, Calif.—for 15 years by the time she remodeled it.
When faced with a site as lovely as this Northern California knoll, most architects wouldn't be able to resist designing a house that's just as dramatic. But Turnbull Griffin Haesloop restrained itself, and the result is a house whose intimate relationship to the land won over the judges.
Turnbull Griffin Haesloop's clients for this Napa Valley cottage wanted a single-story house. But their site, an idyllic hillside, lent itself to a two-story plan. Architects solved this problem by terracing the hillside with two stone retaining walls, creating a plateau.
Turnbull Griffin Haesloop's site-sensitive houses build on a virtuoso's foundation.

As with fashion, Scottish music isn't all about the bagpipes and country dancing. The country is home to a wealth of internationally-renowned contemporary bands and artists currently gracing stages, speakers and soundtracks around the world. And that's not to mention all the new Scottish bands that are critically acclaimed but not yet mainstream.

The La Fontaines
Hip Hop infused pop from Lanarkshire. Very Scottish but with a distinctly American flavour. The band made up of Kerr Okan, John Gerard, Iain Findlay, Darren McCaughey and Jamie Keenan are, according to the Daily Record, renowned for their good-time party anthems.

The Proclaimers
Leith duo composed of identical twin brothers Charlie and Craig Reid. They formed the band in 1983 and singing in regional accents and about Scotland, they offered a distinct and personal sound.

Without a doubt the band's most successful single is Love Is All Around, from the soundtrack to the film Four Weddings and a Funeral. After spending 15 weeks at number one, lead singer Marti Pellow insisted on the song's deletion after he grew bored of its chart dominance.The band reunited in 2004 and is still performing.
Live Music Venues
It's no secret that Scottish audiences have been recognised by some of the world's top bands as being among the best in the world. And that's imply because Scotland loves live music. And we 'do' live music better than anyone. With a host of music venues – from the small and intimate to the large and raucous,spanning the length and breadth of the country, you're never far away from a great gig in Scotland. Here are just some:
- Aberdeen Exhibition centre
- BA Club, Fort William
- The Barrowlands, Glasgow
- Corn Exchange, Edinburgh
- Electric Circus, Edinburgh
- Fat Sams, Dundee
- HMV Picturehouse, Edinburgh
- Ironworks, Inverness
- King Tuts, Glasgow
- Lemon Tree, Aberdeen

- SECC, Glasgow
- The Hydro, Glasgow
For a small country, Scotland certainly does have its fair share of music festivals. From traditional and folk to rock and pop, Scotland's music festivals are among the best that you're ever likely to experience.
Classical Music
The classical music scene is also thriving in Scotland, with many making a significant contribution to cultural life both in Scotland and internationally. They operate on a scale which distinguishes them from other performing arts organisations in Scotland, and which gives them a major presence on Scotland's largest stages and concert halls.
The Royal Scottish National Orchestra (RSNO) is one of Europe's leading symphony orchestras. Formed in 1891 as the Scottish Orchestra, the company became the Scottish National Orchestra in 1950, and was awarded Royal Patronage in 1991. Throughout its proud history, the Orchestra has played an important part in Scotland's musical life, including performing at the opening ceremony of the Scottish Parliament building in 2004.
Many renowned conductors have contributed to its success, including Walter Susskind, Sir Alexander Gibson, Bryden Thomson, Conductor Laureate Neeme Järvi, Conductor Emeritus Walter Weller, Conductor Emeritus Alexander Lazarev and most recently, Stéphane Denève.
The RSNO performs across Scotland, including concerts in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, Aberdeen, Perth and Inverness, as well as international performances in France, Germany, Spain, Austria, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Serbia. The Orchestra will visit mainland Asia for the first time in 2012-13 with a tour to China over Hogmanay and the first week of the New Year.
The Scottish Chamber Orchestra (SCO) is internationally recognised as one of the finest chamber orchestras in the world. Formed in 1974 with a commitment to serve the Scottish community, it is also one of Scotland's foremost cultural ambassadors. The Orchestra performs throughout Scotland, and appears regularly at the Edinburgh, East Neuk, St Magnus and Aldeburgh Festivals and the BBC Proms. Its busy touring schedule has recently included many European countries as well as India and the USA.
Based at the City Halls, Glasgow, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra is another internationally-recognised symphony orchestra. Formed in December 1935 by Scottish composer and conductor Ian Whyte, the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra has won several awards, including a Royal Philharmonic Society Award and four Gramophone Awards. Its wide repertoire and flexible approach means it can perform complex contemporary pieces alongside major symphonic works.
Scotland is also home to several leading composers including James MacMillan, Sally Beamish, Lyell Cresswell and the Queen's own composer, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, all of whom regularly collaborate with the Scottish orchestras.
Glasgow was named a UNESCO City of Music in August 2008, making it the second Scottish city to join the UNESCO Creative Cities Network (Edinburgh is a UNESCO City of Literature).The title recognises Glasgow's musical riches, the vibrancy of its music scene and its role as a world player in music. Glasgow's music scene spans many genres, including both their production and performance. In preparing its bid for UNESCO status, Glasgow counted an average of 130 music events a week ranging from pop and rock to Celtic music and opera. Whether it is contemporary, classical, Celtic or Country, Glasgow has some of the most famous music venues in the UK and a thriving music industry. It also has some of the most recognised qualifications in higher education in music.

Printing press that prints on paper passing between a supporting cylinder and a cylinder containing the printing plates. In contrast, the flatbed press has a flat printing surface. The rotary press is used mainly in high-speed, web-fed operations in which the press takes paper from a roll, as in newspaper printing. Many of these large presses not only print as many as four colours but also cut and fold and bind in a cover, all in one continuous automatic process. Paper passes through some presses at nearly 20 mph (30 kph); large presses can print up to 60,000 copies of 128 standard-size pages in an hour. Seealso R. Hoe.

Ability of a substance to rotate the plane of polarization of a beam of light passed through it, either as crystals or in solution. Clockwise rotation as one faces the light source is "positive," or dextrorotary; counterclockwise rotation "negative," or levorotary. Louis Pasteur was the first to recognize that molecules with optical activity are stereoisomers (see isomerism). Optical isomers occur in pairs that are nonsuperimposable mirror images of one another. They have the same physical properties except for their effect on polarized light; in chemical properties they differ only in their interactions with other stereoisomers (see asymmetric synthesis).

Internal-combustion engine in which the combustion chambers and cylinders rotate with the driven shaft around a fixed control shaft to which pistons are attached. The gas pressures of combustion are used to rotate the shaft. In the Wankel engine, the most fully developed and widely used rotary engine, a triangular rotor rotates with an orbital motion in a specially shaped casing, and forms rotating crescent-shaped combustion chambers between its sides and the curved wall of the casing.

Daniel Schrag on Climate, Energy, and Innovation
- Location: Visual Arts Center, Kresge Auditorium
- Event Type: Common Hour
- Sponsor: Events & Summer Programs (Academic)
- Contact: Brenna Hensley
- - Open to the Bowdoin Community -
Common Hour with Dr. Daniel Schrag - Keynote for President's Science Symposium
Daniel P. Schrag will discuss "Climate, Energy and Innovation."
The increase in atmospheric CO2 due to burning coal, oil and natural gas represents an unprecedented experiment on the Planet Earth. Geologic records support the view that future climate change will have a profound impact both on human society and on natural ecosystems. A daunting challenge is the timescale of climate change. More than half of the carbon dioxide emitted to the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels will remain for hundreds of years, and roughly 20% will be there for tens of thousands of years. In this context, a variety of strategies will be discussed for meeting the world's energy needs, preserving economic prosperity and security, while protecting human and natural systems from climate impacts. In addition, we will explore what strategies might be required if the impacts of climate change are larger than we expect.
Daniel Schrag is the Director of the Harvard University Center for the Environment, the Sturgis Hooper Professor of Geology, and Professor of Environmental Science and Engineering at Harvard University. He currently serves on President Obama's Council of Advisors for Science and Technology. Among various honors, he was named a MacArthur Fellow in 2000. Schrag received a B.S. from Yale University and a Ph.D. in Geology from the University of California at Berkeley.

Categories: Art, Art Basel Miami Beach
Photo by Bob Bonis / NotFadeAwayGallery.com |
Mick Jagger and Keith Richards wrote the song "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" on the same day this photo was taken at the Fort Harrison Hotel. The hotel is still there today but is now the headquarters of the Church of Scientology. |
"The Lost Beatles and The Lost Rolling Stones Photographs," a collection of nearly 200 of Bonis' shots, will be on exhibition at The Betsy hotel on Miami Beach throughout Art Basel week. Already blown away by this shot of a baby-faced Mick Jagger, lounging poolside in Clearwater in 1965? Well keep your red Speedo on, because there is plenty more revealing portraiture where that came from.

The exhibit, which is free and open to the public and debuts on Monday, December 3, will be curated by Larry Marion, author of The Lost Rolling Stones Photographs (2010) and The Lost Beatles Photographs (2011). The two books were the general public's first peek into the seriously intimate backstage world that Bonis shared and documented with the wee Beatles and Stones. Now, you may not recognize the name Bob Bonis, but he played a crucial role in introducing two iconic bands to U.S. soil, along with millions of fans for generations.
"Bob Bonis was the luckiest person on the planet, in my opinion," said Marion. "He had access that no one else had, plain and simple."
Marrion, himself a gallery owner, author, and rock n' roll memorabilia expert, might also be considered pretty darn lucky as well, given that he has been charged with the joyful task of sharing Bonis' revelatory Beatles and Rolling Stones photos with the public.

Men of many talents: the Beatles levitate a yellow balloon on a break during their first U.S. tour, in August 1964. |
"Bob was an amateur photographer, but the word "amateur" just speaks to what you get paid, not your talent," Marion said. "The result is intimate, honest, candid photography at its finest."

Enjoyed a nice visit today from "Dakota", my brother who owns a lovely lady named Gloria from Camden, SC.
"Dakota" got all the good Rottweiler looks in our family and certainly the size. What a handsome fellow he's grown up to be.
An especially nice result of their visit is that Gloria may also adopt "Heather" the abandoned Rottweiler who is being treated by Dr Lambert for a bad infection from an embedded collar. Gloria has a heart as big as a semi truck, she's retired and has plenty of time to baby "Heather".

We've had a couple phone calls concerned about the German Shepherd Dog (GSD) living in the woods near Hidden Lakes, now that the search for Copper has moved to Brighton Beach.
We will continue to keep the feeding station stocked for the GSD and do what we can for him with heartworm prevention, etc. He could be worse places. At least there he has heavy cover in the woods and clean fresh water to drink.

The search for Copper, a year-old red male Viszla missing from his yard on Bridge Street in Bluffton since Sept 21st, continues.
Copper has been sighted by three different people in the Brighton Beach area in the past week. He is a very hyper dog, fast moving, and he's gone by the time the family gets there.
Here's his picture - if you see Copper please call 757-6461 or 384-9273. A little girl still misses him and hopes for his return.

Otis is a large beautiful pit bull mix who everybody thought was dumb as a rock til we figured out he was just totally deaf.
He's a sweet boy who loves his wading pool when it's hot. This morning with a little frost on the dog house he appreciated a soft BT blankie warm from the dryer and a hot breakfast topped with grilled hamburger. Being homeless is not so bad if you can foster at Maranatha Farm.
It's time for Otis to move on though, we got two new litters of puppies at JARM and the mamas need his kennel space.

JARM sends a great big "Thank You!" to Paul Bathe of Quality Signs & Graphics in Hardeeville (784-3973) for our new sign on Carters Mill Road.
Paul did this work for us for so little we doubt he even covered his costs. What a spiffy new sign it is! God bless you, Paul!

Jasper County Sheriff's Dept brought us a pitiful surprise today, a sweet tempered Rottweiler with a hideously embedded collar.
The infection was so severe around her neck that the abcess had ruptured, her torn skin was hanging down exposing the raw flesh of her neck to the collar somebody left on her a very long time ago.
That collar was cut off and she was grateful to be able to eat again.
Dr Lambert's assistant Ruth Groh gave her the name "Heather". Dr Lambert has agreed to keep "Heather" in his hospital until she is healed.

Millie knew she didn't deserve to be stood up.
Labrador Retrievers have been bred for a long time to be great hunting dogs, eager to splash off through a frigid marsh to bring back a wounded duck without bending a single feather. They are good sports.
They are also devoted companion dogs between hunting trips. Their gentle manners and easy-going sweetness ensure this is a dog your toddlers can roll around with.

Tadams05, you may be happy to hear that the little red dachsund you rescued found a wonderful new Forever Home at Petsmart on Saturday.
What a good thing you did both for her and for her new family! God bless you!

I can't imagine anything better than getting to treat a dog who's recovering from starvation, to a nice big double scoop of rich vanilla ice cream.
"Lobo" was once an absolutely beautiful Siberian Husky. No one knows why his owner turned him out of the house and stopped feeding him. By the time we saw he was in trouble, he was so weak he could barely stand.
He's safely under JARM's wing now. He's 35-40 lbs underweight. You'd think he would have a ravenous appetite, but after a while starvation makes you lose your appetite.

Some time ago somebody published a blog here about a Mastiff that was being kept in a hot windowless garage. We got in touch and went over there, offering our help to the owner, who clearly cared about her dog but was overwhelmed with medical and family problems.
It took some time but she eventually agreed to surrender the dog.

Storage Tips
Storage Tips for Veggies
The quicker you pick up and care for your produce, the longer it will keep, especially during the hottest days of the season. We recommend placing most vegetables in a plastic bag in your refrigerator. For all greens, wash them in very cold water and wrap them in a damp cloth before putting them in a plastic bag in the fridge.
Tomatoes should not be refrigerated as their flavor depends on warmth (if you must refrigerate some, be sure to leave them out on the counter for a day or so before you plan to eat them). Basil does best treated like cut flowers—trim the bottoms and place in a cup of water on your windowsill.
We will be sharing lots of other veggie advice in the summer newsletters and on our blog and Facebook Page all year round — or feel free to call or email with questions! 530-292-3776, firstname.lastname@example.com
Storage Tips for Fruit
Store your fruit in a cool spot, but NOT the fridge. For the most part it will taste better unrefrigerated.
If you receive more fruit than you will eat within the week, put some in the fridge to hold it, but be sure to give it time to warm up before you take a bite! Apricots, cherries, nectarines and peaches also freeze well. Just pit them, slice them, and put them in a plastic bag in your freezer. Peach pie in December tastes fabulous this way.
Another option in our sunny climate is to dry some of the fruit. For peaches, simply slice them in half, pull the pit out and then slice them into 1/4 inch rounds or strips. Lay them out between two non-metal window screens for a few hours or a day (depending on the weather), and peel them off when they are fully dried but before they get crunchy. Delicious!

Tracheoesophageal Atresia and Tracheoesophageal Fistula
For a baby with tracheoesophageal atresia or tracheoesophageal fistula, eating is impossible. Fortunately, surgery can repair the problem and help your baby get the nourishment he needs to flourish.
What it is
Tracheoesophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula are malformations of the esophagus, the tube that normally connects the throat to the stomach and enables food to pass from your baby's mouth to his stomach. The conditions usually occur together and develop during pregnancy. In tracheoesophageal atresia, the upper esophagus ends in a pouch instead of connecting to the lower esophagus. In tracheoesophageal fistula, the lower esophagus mistakenly connects to the windpipe, or trachea.
It's impossible for a baby who has tracheoesophageal atresia and/or tracheoesophageal fistula to eat — breast milk or formula can't pass from the baby's throat to the stomach. Symptoms include excessive drooling, choking, and vomiting, especially when a baby tries to feed. A baby may also breathe in liquid, which can result in coughing fits and ultimately develop into pneumonia (an infection of the lungs). A baby with tracheoesophageal fistula may also have an especially bloated belly because the abnormal connection to the trachea can allow air to build up in the stomach.
Experts are not sure what causes a baby's esophagus to develop incorrectly in the womb.
How common it is
Tracheoesophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula occur in an estimated one in 3,000 to 4,000 births in the US.
Latest treatments
When a baby is diagnosed with tracheoesophageal atresia and/or tracheoesophageal fistula, doctors schedule surgery as soon as possible so that the baby can eat and his lungs don't get damaged. During surgery, which is done under general anesthesia, surgeons repair the esophagus so that it connects correctly from the throat to the stomach. Once the surgery is over, your baby will receive a ventilator, a chest tube to help drain fluids and keep the lungs open, and IV fluids. In some cases, babies will need a gastronomy tube (a tube inserted into the stomach that delivers nutrition) for a period of time — hospital staff will demonstrate how to feed normally.
Hope for the future
Once the surgery is completed and a baby has healed (typically after several weeks), the outlook is very good. Most children who have a repaired tracheoesophageal atresia and/or tracheoesophageal fistula — and have no other birth disorders — go on to live full, normal lives, but many children will still have some (manageable) complications, such as acid reflux, as a result of this condition. Babies who are having trouble breathing and feeding should see their pediatrician regularly, as surgical dilation of the esophageal stricture may be necessary. Children often have long-term heartburn and reflux, which is when stomach acid backs up into the esophagus. In some kids, part of the esophagus may get narrower and require more surgery when they're older. Fortunately, the majority of children who've had surgery as babies are able to eat normally by the time they reach school.
Where to find help
The EA/TEF Family Support Connection is a resource that was created by medical experts and families affected by esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula. There is also a large support network in the UK called TOFS (Tracheo-Oesophageal Fistula Support), which connects families all over the world who have children with these conditions.

Plus, Eric makes a strategic move to bring himself up to Bill's level. The rivalry continues!
For the past six years, we've watched Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) string along every supernatural suitor in Bon Temps, giving nary a f*** how her flighty indecisiveness might make them feel. But on the Aug. 4 episode of True Blood, our fickle fairy friend was given an ultimatum — one that will force her to finally choose a guy and stick to him. For real this time.
In a nutshell, if Sookie wants Warlow (Rob Kazinsky) to help Bill (Stephen Moyer) save all of the imprisoned vampires, she'll have to give herself over to him. And I'm not just talking about more glowing fairy graveyard sex. She'll need to let him put a ring on it, which she eventually decided was worth the sacrifice. Now, there was just one small problem…
Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) beat her to him! With a little help from Adilyn's blood, Eric crossed over to Sookie's fairy-sex playground and gobbled up a ton of Warlow's red goodness. (See you in the daylight, Mr. Northman!)
Side note: Was anybody else annoyed by Sookie during her big scene with Sam (Sam Trammell) this week? If she's 'always' had feelings for him, why did she wait until now to tell him? I'm just glad Sam turned her down; he's been pushed around enough this season.
Don't Drink The Tru Blood
The imprisoned vampires thought that avoiding the contaminated Tru Blood would keep them safe, but unfortunately, it singled them out as targets for the LAVDF. In fact, Jason (Ryan Kwanten) appears to be the only good guy safe for now, as he's still under the watchful/obsessive eye of Violet. So assured him they'd hump like vamp-bunnies someday, so once again, Jason is just having a lot of sex this season.
Meanwhile, just as Anna Camp foretold, Anna reached new levels of insanity this week. Perhaps her finest act was bludgeoning the female Tru Blood distributor to death, then impaling her brain with her own stiletto. Anna was worth every bit of the "One To Watch" honor she was given at the 2013 Young Hollywood Awards; I couldn't take my eyes off her this week.
The episode ended with Bill's vision coming true — all of our fanged favorites gathered together in a circular room, where they'll presumably meet the sun.
Prayer circle, please?
Knocked Up & Knocked Out
I normally skip over the werewolf/shifter nonsense because, as I just said, it's usually nonsense — but this week, things happened! Alcide (Joe Manganiello) beat the s**t out of Rikki after she challenged him as packmaster, then decided to bounce from the pack entirely. He forked Big-Hair and Big-Hair's mom over to Sam, before barking out a pretty major shocker: Big-Hair is pregnant with Baby Sam!
Can you believe Little Denise from Full House is carrying a shifter bun in her oven? Have mercy!
HollywoodLifers, what did you think of this week's episode? Any new predictions? Drop a comment with your review, and what you'd like to see on the final two episodes.

Do not kill off lafayette, sookie, eric, bill, tara, sam, pam or jason. everyone else can go as far as i am concern. andy really does not have a storyline nor does arlene or jessica or the rev's ex wife. they need to clean house …too many side stories and not enough teeth to the plot. I dont care what happens to andy or his partner or arlene and her family. I think arlene should take the millions terry left her and move away. andy needs to leave town as well. why oh why did they have sam getting someone preggie (do not like that story line). Alicede needs to step it up and become a true pack leader. I want to see the magic of lafayette, the mystery of sookie and bill and eric, the development of pam and tara. come on bring in more bad guys like russell eddegington/..someone who will keep the group on their toes, fangs etc. Eric needs to be hot again, Lafayette needs to bring his abilities into play…come on writers give the true blood fans a thrill!!!!! I want to gasp when i watch this show.

Right now, law and order is basically non-existent as the police and army have not been able to organize. Large areas are lawless; in Port-Au-Prince, armed gangs with machetes are looting and fighting each other.
Most of the natural disasters are localized in nature, and there are functioning areas of government that have to come in and reestablish order.
But, what happens when a whole region is thrown into chaos? I'm thinking of SHTF scenarios like EMP and a New Madrid-style earthquake with widespread devastation.
The only way I see to survive through this is by having the means to defend yourself and working with your neighbors. But, can you do this? In your neighborhood, do you know people well enough to organize a community watch? Do you have communication equipment like portable radios, extra batteries? And do you have enough firearms and ammunition to train and supply those among your group who don't?
What do you think is most overlooked when it comes to a situation like this where law and order may be weeks or months away?

GPS Navigation

We have a built in Navigation system in our vehicle. Knowing what we now know, we want it removed. We do no use the NAV. Our dealership where we bought the vehicle tells us it is very difficult to remove it. (However they can sell us another car).
Does anyone know a website where we can disable the GPS? I tried to look on my own but couldn't find anything. Thanks,
JJ Luna Responds:
Just a guess, Mari. but your GPS needs an aerial. Perhaps if the aerial were cut (or at least wrapped in tinfoil), that would do it.

Naruko is a Taiwanese beauty brand created by Niu-Er, who's a famous makeup artist I believe. I have read many raves about their products before and have also seen a couple of reviews by Fuzkittie (a YouTube beauty guru). I was pretty excited when I spotted a few Naruko products at a nearby Watsons quite recently and just had to get their BB cream (well, what would you expect from a foundation junkie?).
Like most BB creams, the Naruko Narcissus one comes in a squeeze tube that is easy to control. I tend to prefer such packaging too because it is easier to travel with compared to heavier bottles.
The consistency is quite watery and coverage is very light. In fact, I would say the coverage is similar to a tinted moisturiser more so than a foundation. It is quite possibly the sheerest amongst all BB creams I have tried. The texture is very smooth and blends to almost nothing on my skin. It does not enhance the dry bits on my face too, which is a good thing as my skin has been rather dehydrated lately.
Due to its sheer nature, I have been using the Naruko BB cream as a base instead and then applying whatever foundation (liquid or powder) in my rotation on top. I think it acts as a relatively decent primer since it helps smooth my skin out, is lightly moisturising and at the same time, controls oil quite well.
Like most BB creams, the Naruko one only comes in one shade and thankfully, it is a very good match on my skin tone. The colour is a neutral-beige and should suit those with NC15 to NC25 colouring.
I must admit I am rather impressed by its ingredient list and it seems to have some pretty interesting stuff in it. I'm not certain what skincare benefits some of them provide but I like that it contains quite a number of herbal extracts. It has a herby-floral scent that is actually quite pleasant but if you're sensitive perfume, you may not like this product although the scent does dissipate after a short while.
In summary, if you are looking for a lightweight BB cream with added sunscreen, the Naruko Narcissus Defense BB Sunscreen SPF50 is a good option. The Naruko BB cream can be found at most Watsons for RM49. I believe you can order from the Naruko Malaysia website at a slightly cheaper price but do note that the site is in Mandarin.
Have you tried anything from Naruko and what are your recommendations?

More reviews by SensualSusanna
This has the most amazing gentle apricot scent and it works wonders on legs after shaving! Makes my legs silky smooth. My tween daughter loves it too on her skin... she thinks it's the best smell ever! I have a small two ounce bottle I put an eyedropper into to make it easier and not waste the product. IT's that good!
A lovely product! It works great for my super dry skin. I use it before I take shower and my skin feels soft and clean afterwards. I also use it wherever I feel dry and itchy, and it calms my skin nicely. The bottle looks cute, too.
What a wonderful all-purpose oil. My favorite use is as a "pre-wash" facial oil (ala DHC cleansing oil) I massage it into my skin before washing and it just feels amazing. Also love it as a cuticle oil and a hot oil treatment for the hair. Body moisturizer, lip balm, massage oil....you name it, this will do it.
I too took a lippie off for packaging. Oil in a glass bottle? Surprised they haven't been sued. Plastic flip top and this would be perfect!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have to agree with everyone that has raved about what a wonderful product this is. I would just like to add that it includes beta-carotene, a type of Vitamin A and perhaps the most effective vitamin to encourage collagen production in the skin. It's probably why I not only have super soft skin after application, but since I have been using this for half a year now, my skin looks really healthy and smooth.
My HG of body oils. I've used everything. Neutrogena, Booth's, Johnson&Johnson, etc...and none have smelled better, kept my skin softer, or lasted as long as Burt's Apricot oil. I'm obsessed with the smell, and also have the solid perfume in the same scent. I get compliments on it all the time. The only bad thing about ordering from Burt's is the shipping costs, which can be a little high. But luckily, many stores have started carrying the line. I cried tears of joy when I found 3 bottles on the clearance shelf at Walgreens for $2.00 each. YAY!
Love this product, I am addicted to the smell, like warm honey & baby powder. The apricot refers to apricot oil which is a really great moisturizer, I also love that this is a natural product with no preservatives or artificial ingredients.
I love this stuff - it smells great and lasts ages. I use it in the bath, as a massage oil and as a moisturiser. It's gentle and full of lovely natural ingredients. I always have a big bottle around, plus a small travel-sized one to take away with me.
More reviews by librarian_wannabe
I absolutely love this stuff. It smells amazing. I keep a small spray bottle filled with this oil in the shower and I spray it on after washing. I also spray a little bit into my hair and rinse.
HG body oil/moisturizer
I love this product! I have used it as a moisturizer and as a bath oil. It's great for both. I have very dry skin when it comes to my legs and if I'm not properly moisturized I will itch incessantly esspecially during winter and summer. And this oil really helps with that. My skin also doesn't usually take well to moisturizers unless I'm fresh out of the shower...but this is one product that I can put on any time, which is something that makes it a big selling point. Someting I will be using again.
A boon for terribly dry skin. I use this immediately after the shower; the slight sheen imparted is gorgeous though I do feel a bit greasy for an hour or two. But the effects are indisputable. Soft moisturized skin for a full day. A pleasant sweet nutty smell, inoffensive - doesn't interfere with the majority of my perfumes; the scent fortunately wears off within a few hours. A lippie off for the remarkably inconvenient packaging - an open-mouth glass bottle. Otherwise recommend.

As someone who never liked the cold and would really enjoy snow if it were only 50 degrees warmer, going to school in Massachusetts was a bold choice. While Massachusetts sat snowed into a state of emergency, I donned my parka, knit fingerless gloves and camera and took to campus by foot to photograph the ever-accepted half-snow day.
While I got plenty of the deserted campus shots I expected, I also ran into a handful of others outside braving the blizzard. Some were walking back up the hill toward Van Meter after a late lunch or wandering off through the otherwise desolate pathways of campus, destination unknown. I ran into others, suited up in clothes for the weather, waging snowball wars outside of Orchard Hill or skiing down the hill.
Hours later, I'm warm and ready for bed as the snow still flakes down outside my window. My shades are drawn, but the sound of snowplows circling the building continues to make the weather evident. With my birthday and other plans later this weekend, I have to be thankful for the constant drone outside, without which I would surely be snowed in come sunrise.

Salt Water Fishing Guide
Alaska Halibut
No Alaska saltwater fishing trip is complete without challenging the Pacific halibut. The fish is big, easy to catch, and offers a fight that is sure to please angler and non-angler alike. Halibut fishing is good from May through mid-September. But here's an inside tip: July is the "sleeper" month for trophy halibut as most anglers are pursuing other species of salmon and trout, leaving the halibut grounds as deserted as a ghost town. This is when we enjoy some of our finest catches of the year.
We fish in the northern-most end of the Inside Passage at the confluence of the famed Icy Strait, Gulf of Alaska, and Glacier Bay National Park. Inside water means no ocean swell, which makes for easier fishing, more fish, and virtually no seasickness.
There are several ways to fish for Alaska halibut, with most anglers choosing either leadhead or metal jigs and bait. Halibut in our area concentrate along the sandy bottoms, rock pinnacles, and steep glacier-carved ledges. Unique holding structure and limited tidal activity allow Glacier Bay halibut to feed in relatively shallow water from 50 to 90 feet. Only 12 to 24 ounces of weight is required to reach and remain on bottom. Some of the more popular halibut areas found elsewhere in the state require a 400-foot drop with three pounds of lead!
Halibut Gear Guide: You can bring your favorite fishing rig, or use our quality gear and tackle. For bait, we use horse herring that we catch first thing in the morning on small shad darts and light-action tackle. Many anglers have as much fun catching herring as they do the larger halibut. We thread pieces of fresh herring onto a Mustad 14/0 circle hook, to which is tied 250-pound nylon leader with an in-line sinker. This rig is connected to 250-pound-test terminal tackle. When tidal conditions are right, lead-head jigs with eight-inch scampi or twister tails are equally effective.
Did we mention that halibut get big? The state record of 440 pounds was held here for nearly 20 years. In 2002, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game undertook the complex task of compiling the creel survey information gathered at various ports in Alaska. As it turns out, Gustavus has the largest retained halibut average in Southeast Alaska.
King Salmon
Unlike the kings caught near their spawning rivers, Glacier Bay-Icy Strait king salmon are chrome colored with a brilliant sapphire-blue tint, making them a treasure to behold. We have two king salmon runs: The main schools pass through in May and early June, while feeder kings to 25 pounds migrate all summer long through the region.
If you've hooked a king salmon in saltwater, you know what to expect. If you're considering it for the first time, you're in for a treat.
Icy Strait is a geographical and hydrological funnel through which salmon bound for watersheds along the northern Inside Passage must travel. This concentrates in-migrating and feeding coho and king salmon in clear offshore water.
We mooch or troll for kings, using either bait or hootchies off downriggers. It's a thrill unlike any other. Large blips appear on the depth-finder, and you wait anxiously for one of the rods to slam down and disengage from the downrigger clip. You're enjoying the ocean breeze, watching the seabirds work the whitecaps, or admiring the wind-and-wave-carved shoreline when it happens. The rod tip straightens and the reel starts screeching. Removing the rod from the holder will take all your strength. Once you have it in hand, hold on! Our saltwater kings are feisty and powerful. They will surge for bottom, thrash, roll and twist. Do nothing but hold on! Let the fish run! Modern tackle can't stop one of these fish on its initial run.
After the king has slowed to where you can turn its head, start a slow, steady retrieve. Easy does it, as you'll spend nearly all your energy bringing the fish to the boat. Invariably, the fish gets its second wind, and strips off another 100 yards of line. Apply steady pressure, and slowly pump the fish to the surface. Keep the line tight, as the fish will often break the surface, thrashing its gills and sometimes clearing the water in spectacular aerial jumps.
For the die-hard king salmon enthusiast, we strongly encourage you to spend a day or two fishing our Gulf Coast salmon paradise. Expect early-season action along steep shoreline breaks on inside waters when the run peaks in May and June. Mooching is exciting when the fish are schooled in a feeding frenzy. At this time, the average king salmon caught by our anglers range from 20 to 30 pounds, with an occasional 40-pound and over torpedo-shaped beauty worthy of a wall-mount.
Kings are highly prized for their rich, oily flesh that is great barbecued, grilled, or prepared most any way imaginable.
Coho Salmon (Silver Salmon)
Hooking coho or silver salmon in saltwater is an endurance sport that most anglers relish with an ear-to-ear grin. Cohos are chrome-bright aquatic firecrackers that explode in head-shaking action from hookup to landing. They are not only aggressive in taking bait or lures, but are also one of the best-eating of all the Pacific salmon. We fish near natural reefs and target the tide rips near the top of the water column as silvers move up to feed on herring, capelin, and sand lance. Peak runs arrive in early August and continue through September. Early-run fish are 6 to 10 pounds. Fourteen to 18-pound fish return in late August through mid-September.
Saltwater silvers are taken using a variety of techniques common throughout Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. Most are caught off downriggers fishing a slow-trolled herring or flasher/squid combination. We also troll, drift and mooch for silvers. When fish are schooled up, it's easy to catch them on small spoons and light-action spinning gear. Fish hooked this way jump repeatedly, sometimes up to eight times in succession, and battle all the way to the net.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — J.A. Happ feels fortunate.
Less than 24 hours after he was hit on the head by a line drive and carted off the field, the Toronto Blue Jays pitcher was back at Tropicana Field on Wednesday.
The 30-year-old said he had a skull fracture behind his left ear that doctors believe will heal on its own, as well as a sore right knee that he tweaked when he dropped to the ground Tuesday night.
Otherwise, he felt pretty good after his release from Bayfront Medical Center. He does not have a concussion.
"I feel really fortunate," Happ said after limping into a room at Tropicana Field for a news conference and climbing a couple steps to sit down behind a table.
Happ, who was put on the 15-day disabled list, had a brief conversation with Tampa Bay's Desmond Jennings, who hit the line drive that caught Happ squarely on the left side of the head. Happ shook hands with several teammates outside the Blue Jays clubhouse while assuring each one: "I'm fine."
MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Alex Ferguson is retiring at the end of the season, bringing a close to a trophy-filled career of more than 26 years at Manchester United that established him as the most successful coach in British football history.
"The decision to retire is one that I have thought a great deal about and one that I have not taken lightly," the 71-year-old Scotsman said in a statement on Wednesday. "It is the right time."
Everton manager David Moyes, a fellow Scot from Glasgow, is the front-runner to replace Ferguson. During 11 years at Everton, Moyes has overseen impressive results on a limited budget and enjoyed a long-standing friendship with Ferguson.
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Family and friends honored the memory of a Utah soccer referee at an emotional funeral service Wednesday evening just hours after the teenager who punched him and put him in a coma was charged with homicide by assault.
After an afternoon wake at a community center, a group of men carried a wooden casket containing Ricardo Portillo in silence about a quarter mile to a nearby Catholic church. There, about 200 people — most wearing white shirts — listened to a funeral service conducted in Spanish.
Earlier Wednesday, the teenager who police say punched Portillo was charged with homicide by assault, a count issued when an attack unintentionally causes death.
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Three-time All-Pro Ronde Barber is retiring after a 16-year career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that included a Super Bowl title and five Pro Bowl appearances.
The Bucs announced that the 38-year-old twin brother of former New York Giants running back Tiki Barber will not return to play on a defense overhauled since the end of last season. Tampa Bay acquired Darrelle Revis, Dashon Goldson and second-round draft pick Johnthan Banks for its secondary.
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Robert Griffin III's knee is still feeling fine. His ability to turn a room upside down is better than ever.
The Washington Redskins quarterback made an appearance — and quite an impact — at a luncheon for the American Cancer Society. He raised $33,000 in a matter of minutes, more than half of the $60,000 tallied during the auction portion of the fundraiser.
The crowning moment came when a man from Texas paid $15,000 for a pair of pink cleats worn by Griffin in a game last season.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Halladay will have arthroscopic surgery to repair a bone spur in his right shoulder.
Halladay will undergo a procedure in his right shoulder to repair a partially torn rotator cuff and remove a bone spur. He also has some fraying of the labrum.
Halladay hadn't decided on which doctor will perform the surgery, but said he expects to have the operation next week to give himself the best chance of returning this season.
DENVER (AP) — George Karl was named the NBA's Coach of the Year for leading the Denver Nuggets to a team-record 57 wins this season.
Karl got 62 first-place votes from a panel of sports writers and broadcasters.
Golden State eliminated the Nuggets 92-88 in Game 6 last Thursday night.
It's the first time Karl has won the award in 25 seasons. He joins Doug Moe as the only Denver coaches to earn the honor.
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — Los Angeles Lakers forward Pau Gasol will get ultrasonic treatment on both knees in an attempt to regenerate his tendons.
The team says Gasol will have a procedure Thursday that's intended to improve the health of his patellar tendons by removing scar tissue with ultrasonic energy. The procedure will be performed by Dr. Steven Yoon of the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Group.
NEW YORK (AP) — Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers is a finalist for the Vezina Trophy for a fifth time.
Sergei Bobrovsky of the Columbus Blue Jackets and Antti Niemi of the San Jose Sharks also are finalists for the award given annually to the NHL's top goaltender.
Lundqvist won it last year.
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Vijay Singh sued the PGA Tour for exposing him to "public humiliation and ridicule" during a 12-week investigation into his use of deer antler spray that ended last week when the tour dropped its case against him.
The lawsuit was a surprise, and so was the timing — the day before The Players Championship, the flagship event on the PGA Tour held on its home course where Singh has honed his game for the last two decades.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Maurice Taylor and Louis Bullock are eager to reconnect with Michigan.
In their first interviews about the Ed Martin booster scandal, both former players told The Associated Press they hope to re-establish a relationship with the university now that a decade-long dissociation ordered by the NCAA has ended.
Taylor and Bullock said they both regret choices they made as young men that ended up staining the school and stunting the basketball program.
What about Chris Webber? The public may have to wait for him to publish his book. But as of Wednesday, Webber, Taylor and Bullock all have the option of renewing their relationship with the Wolverines.
CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — A NASCAR appeals panel sided with Joe Gibbs Racing and eased some of the penalties imposed for having an illegal part in Matt Kenseth's race-winning engine at Kansas last month.
NASCAR punished JGR after discovering during a post-race inspection that one of eight connecting rods in the engine at the April 21 race did not meet the minimum weight requirement. The part was too light by 3 grams, less than the weight of an envelope.
JGR did not dispute the part was illegal, but argued the penalties were too severe because it leases its engines from Toyota Racing Development and is not permitted to touch anything inside of them. Toyota accepted responsibility and insisted one light rod did not give Kenseth a performance advantage.
The three-member National Stock Car Racing Appeals Panel agreed and dramatically reduced almost every penalty.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR chief executive Brian France said in court documents that his former wife spent a "staggering" amount of his fortune on her family and friends. Megan France said her former husband spent little time with their two children and became verbally abusive when he didn't get his way.
Voluminous court documents unsealed Wednesday revealed new details about the couple's bitter second divorce, years after the contentious 2008 breakup. France's lawyers had fought for years to keep the records confidential.
France married the Charlotte woman twice and they divorced twice. Their first marriage lasted from 2001 to 2004. They married again in 2005 and the second divorce was finalized in 2008.

Landlords of several Bakersfield businesses along Truxtun Extension file lawsuit
Attorney: Closure damages property values
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - The landlords of the property that Moo Creamery and several other companies inhabit along Truxtun Extension have filed a lawsuit.
Truxtun Court Partners and Ching and Shu Young have filed a lawsuit against the City of Bakersfield, after construction crews sealed off the driveway to the shopping center.
The driveway closure is to make room for new lanes to handle the extra traffic from the Westside Parkway.
An attorney for the group told the Bakersfield Californian that the road closure damages their property values.
Moo Creamery has made this comment on their Facebook page , to make it clear that the business itself isn't the one filing the lawsuit:
"There are news reports about a lawsuit from the Bynums...I just want it to be clear that Moo Creamery is NOT suing anyone. We are keeping a positive attitude and will make the necessary adjustments to succeed at our current location!"
Read full lawsuit here - http://media.turnto23.com/pdf/2013/March/Lawsuit.pdf
The Facebook page also had a post regarding how their customers can enter the lot and continue to show support to the business:
"All traffic must take commercial way to Commerce Drive! Commerce Drive will loop around, past Healthsouth and lead you to the moo parking lot. We hope to see you soon. Thank you all so much for your continued support! We are so thankful to have so many amazing customers!"

Alcohol intoxication (also known as drunkenness or inebriation) is a physiological state induced by the ingestion of ethyl alcohol (ethanol).
Alcohol intoxication is the consequence of alcohol entering the bloodstream faster than it can be metabolized by the liver, which breaks down the ethanol into non-intoxicating byproducts. Some effects of alcohol intoxication (such as euphoria and lowered social inhibitions) are central to alcohol's desirability as a beverage and its history as one of the world's most widespread recreational drugs. Despite this widespread use and alcohol's legality in most countries, many medical sources tend to describe any level of alcohol intoxication as a form of poisoning due to ethanol's damaging effects on the body in large doses; and some religions consider alcohol intoxication to be a sin.
Symptoms of alcohol intoxication include euphoria, flushed skin and decreased social inhibition at lower doses, with larger doses producing progressively severe impairments of balance, muscle coordination (ataxia), and decision-making ability (potentially leading to violent or erratic behavior) as well as nausea or vomiting from alcohol's disruptive effect on the semicircular canals of the inner ear and chemical irritation of the gastric mucosa. Sufficiently high levels of blood-borne alcohol will cause coma and death from the depressive effects of alcohol upon the central nervous system.
"Acute alcohol poisoning" is a related medical term used to indicate a dangerously high concentration of alcohol in the blood, high enough to induce coma, respiratory depression, or even death. It is considered a medical emergency. The term is mostly used by healthcare providers. Toxicologists use the term "alcohol intoxication" to discriminate between alcohol and other toxins.
Alcohol is metabolized by a normal liver at the rate of about 50 ml (1.7 US fl oz) of spirits (roughly a typical drink-size serving of beer, wine, or spirits) every 90 minutes.[citation needed] An "abnormal" liver with conditions such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, gall bladder disease, and cancer are likely to result in a slower rate of metabolism.
Ethanol is metabolised to acetaldehyde by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), which is found in many tissues, including the gastric mucosa. Acetaldehyde is metabolised to acetate by acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), which is found predominantly in liver mitochondria. Acetate is used by the muscle cells to produce acetyl-CoA using the enzyme acetyl-CoA synthetase, and the acetyl-CoA is then used in the citric acid cycle.[1] It takes roughly 90 minutes for a healthy liver to metabolize a single ounce, approximately one hour per standard unit.
Ethanol's acute effects are due largely to its nature as a central nervous system depressant, and are dependent on blood alcohol concentrations:
As drinking increases, people become sleepy, or fall into a stupor. After a very high level of consumption, the respiratory system becomes depressed and the person will stop breathing. Comatose patients may aspirate their vomit (resulting in vomitus in the lungs, which may cause "drowning" and later pneumonia if survived). CNS depression and impaired motor co-ordination along with poor judgement increases the likelihood of accidental injury occurring.[3] It is estimated that about one third of alcohol-related deaths are due to accidents (32%), and another 14% are from intentional injury.[4]
In addition to respiratory failure and accidents caused by effects on the central nervous system, alcohol causes significant metabolic derangements. Hypoglycaemia occurs due to ethanol's inhibition of gluconeogenesis, especially in children, and may cause lactic acidosis, ketoacidosis, and acute renal failure. Metabolic acidosis is compounded by respiratory failure. Patients may also present with hypothermia.
In the past, alcohol was believed to be a non-specific pharmacological agent affecting many neurotransmitter systems in the brain.[5] However, molecular pharmacology studies have shown that alcohol has only a few primary targets. In some systems, these effects are facilitatory and in others inhibitory.
Among the neurotransmitter systems with enhanced functions are: GABAA,[6] 5-HT3 receptor agonism[7] (responsible for GABAergic (GABAA receptor PAM), glycinergic, and cholinergic effects), nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.[8]
Among those that are inhibited are: NMDA,[7] dihydropyridine-sensitive L-type Ca2+ channels[9] and G-protein-activated inwardly rectifying K+ channels.[10]
The result of these direct effects is a wave of further indirect effects involving a variety of other neurotransmitter and neuropeptide systems, leading finally to the behavioural or symptomatic effects of alcohol intoxication.[5]
Definitive diagnosis relies on a blood test for alcohol, usually performed as part of a toxicology screen.
Law enforcement officers often use breathalyzer units and field sobriety tests as more convenient and rapid alternatives to blood tests.
There are also various models of breathalyzer units that are available for consumer use. Because these may have varying reliability and may produce different results than the tests used for law-enforcement purposes, the results from such devices should be conservatively interpreted.
Many informal intoxication tests exist, which, in general, are unreliable and not recommended as deterrents to excessive intoxication or as indicators of the safety of activities such as motor vehicle driving, heavy equipment operation, machine tool use, etc.
For determining whether someone is intoxicated by alcohol by some means other than a blood-alcohol test, it is necessary to rule out other conditions such as hypoglycemia, stroke, usage of other intoxicants, mental health issues, and so on. It is best if his/her behavior has been observed while the subject is sober to establish a baseline. Several well-known criteria can be used to establish a probable diagnosis. For a physician in the acute-treatment setting, acute alcohol intoxication can mimic other acute neurological disorders, or is frequently combined with other recreational drugs that complicate diagnosis and treatment.
The signs and symptoms of acute alcohol poisoning include:
Acute alcohol poisoning is a medical emergency due to the risk of death from respiratory depression and/or inhalation of vomit if emesis occurs while the patient is unconscious and unresponsive. Emergency treatment for acute alcohol poisoning strives to stabilize the patient and maintain a patent airway and respiration, while waiting for the alcohol to metabolize:[13] Also:
Additional medication may be indicated for treatment of nausea, tremor, and anxiety.
A normal liver detoxifies the blood of alcohol over a period of time that depends on the initial level and the patient's overall physical condition. An abnormal liver will take longer but still succeed, provided the alcohol does not cause liver failure.[14]
People having drunk heavily for several days or weeks may have withdrawal symptoms after the acute intoxication has subsided.[15]
A person consuming a dangerous amount of alcohol persistently can develop memory blackouts and idiosyncratic intoxication or pathological drunkenness symptoms.[16]
Long-term persistent consumption of excessive amounts of alcohol can cause liver damage and have other deleterious health effects.
Alcohol intoxication is a risk factor in some cases of catastrophic injury, in particular for unsupervised recreational activity. A study in the province of Ontario in Canada based on epidemiological data from 1986, 1989, 1992, and 1995 states that 79.2% of the 2,154 catastrophic injuries recorded for the study were preventable, of which 346 involved alcohol consumption.[17] The activities most commonly associated with alcohol-related catastrophic injury were snowmobiling (124), fishing (41), diving (40), boating (31) and canoeing (7), swimming (31), riding an all-terrain vehicle (24), and cycling (23).[17] These events are often associated with unsupervised young males, often inexperienced in the activity, and many result in drowning.[17]
Laws on drunkenness vary. In the United States, it is a criminal offence for a person to be drunk while driving a motorized vehicle, except in Wisconsin, where it is only a fine for the first offence.[18] It is also a criminal offence to fly an aircraft or (in some American states) to assemble or operate an amusement park ride while drunk.[19] Similar laws also exist in the United Kingdom and most other countries.
In some countries, it is also an offence to serve alcohol to an already-intoxicated person,[20] and, often, alcohol can be sold only by persons qualified to serve responsibly through alcohol server training.
The blood alcohol content (BAC) for legal operation of a vehicle is typically measured as a percentage of a unit volume of blood. This percentage ranges from 0.00% in Romania and the United Arab Emirates; to 0.05% in Australia, South Africa, and Germany; to 0.08% in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and New Zealand.[21]
The United States Federal Aviation Administration prohibits crew members from performing their duties with a BAC greater than 0.04% within eight hours of consuming an alcoholic beverage, or while under the influence of alcohol.[22][23]
In the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia, people are arrested for public intoxication, called "being drunk and disorderly" or "being drunk and incapable."[24]
In some countries, there are special facilities, sometimes known as "drunk tanks", for the temporary detention of persons found to be drunk.
Some religious groups permit the consumption of alcohol. Some permit consumption but prohibit intoxication, while others prohibit alcohol consumption altogether. In the Qur'an,[25][26][27] there is a prohibition on the consumption of grape-based alcoholic beverages, and intoxication is considered as an abomination in the Hadith. Islamic schools of law (Madh'hab) have interpreted this as a strict prohibition of the consumption of all types of alcohol and declared it to be haraam ("sinful"), although other uses may be permitted.[28]
Some Protestant Christian denominations prohibit the drinking of alcohol[29] based upon Biblical passages that condemn drunkenness (such as Proverbs 23:21,[30] Isaiah 28:1,[31] Habakkuk 2:15[32]), but others allow moderate use of alcohol.[33] While Proverbs 31:4, warns against Kings and Rulers drinking wine and strong drink, Proverbs 31:6–7 promotes giving strong drink to the perishing (dying) and wine to those whose lives are bitter, to forget their poverty and troubles.[34] In some Christian groups, a small amount of wine is part of the rite of communion. In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, alcohol consumption is forbidden,[35] and teetotalism has become a distinguishing feature of its members. Jehovah's Witnesses allow moderate alcohol consumption among its members.
In Buddhism, in general, the consumption of intoxicants is discouraged for both monastics and lay followers. Many followers of Buddhism observe a code of conduct known as the Five Precepts, of which the fifth precept is an undertaking to refrain from the consumption of intoxicating substances (except for medical reasons). In the Bodhisattva Vows of the Brahma Net Sutra, observed by some monastic communities and some lay followers, distribution of intoxicants is likewise discouraged as well as consumption.
In the branch of Hinduism known as Gaudiya Vaishnavism, one of the four regulative principles forbids the taking of intoxicants, including alcohol.
In Judaism, the Babylonian Talmud says in Megillah 7b that "Rava said: A person is obligated to become intoxicated on Purim until he is unaware of the difference between 'Cursed be Haman' and 'Blessed be Mordechai.'" This is taken to mean that on the Jewish festival of Purim one is commanded to drink alcohol to the point of intoxication.[36] During all other times of year, though, Judaism stresses moderation—not cutting out alcohol entirely, but not getting too drunk either.[37]

From the editors of Condé Nast Traveler:
Occupying a former crystal factory, this ultra-sleek 30-room hotel was the first to open among the galleries and cafés of the trendy Factory 798 Art District. Surreal photos of Peking Opera characters in nature (by contemporary artist Chi Peng) and funky furniture set the tone: Look for the Mies van der Rohe leather couch and the lime-green sofa in the lobby. At the hotel's Fennel restaurant, the mod-Ming aesthetic (dark brown furniture, chartreuse cushions, and oversized black-and-white photos of Buddhist monks) contrasts with the comforting Mediterranean dishes and hearty breakfasts (the scrumptious house muesli is a meal in itself). The guest rooms and hallways are also a visual treat: A departure from the muted corridors of most contemporary hotels, they're peacock blue, with tribal throw rugs and framed stills from the romantic films of Hong Kong director Wong Kar-Wai. The rooms themselves have light-wood floors; gray, yellow, and white laminate Ming-style closets.2011 Hot ListWhich room to book: Reserve a Deluxe Suite Double, for its dramatic yellow closet and Chi Peng photo of opera characters in a snowy Forbidden City.

In all organisms, aminoacyl tRNA synthetases covalently attach amino acids to their cognate tRNAs. Many eukaryotic tRNA synthetases have acquired appended domains, whose origin, structure and function are poorly understood. The N-terminal appended domain (NTD) of glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase (GlnRS) is intriguing since GlnRS is primarily a eukaryotic enzyme, whereas in other kingdoms Gln-tRNA(Gln) is primarily synthesized by first forming Glu-tRNA(Gln), followed by conversion to Gln-tRNA(Gln) by a tRNA-dependent amidotransferase. We report a functional and structural analysis of the NTD of Saccharomyces cerevisiae GlnRS, Gln4. Yeast mutants lacking the NTD exhibit growth defects, and Gln4 lacking the NTD has reduced complementarity for tRNA(Gln) and glutamine. The 187-amino acid Gln4 NTD, crystallized and solved at 2.3 Å resolution, consists of two subdomains, each exhibiting an extraordinary structural resemblance to adjacent tRNA specificity-determining domains in the GatB subunit of the GatCAB amidotransferase, which forms Gln-tRNA(Gln). These subdomains are connected by an apparent hinge comprised of conserved residues. Mutation of these amino acids produces Gln4 variants with reduced affinity for tRNA(Gln), consistent with a hinge-closing mechanism proposed for GatB recognition of tRNA. Our results suggest a possible origin and function of the NTD that would link the phylogenetically diverse mechanisms of Gln-tRNA(Gln) synthesis.
