Starlinger & Co. Ges.m.b.H. has donated 28 sacks (350kg in total) of dry dog food to the Vienna Society for the Protection of Animals. The sacks known under the trade name PP*STAR were on display as an innovative packaging solution at interpack, held during May 2014 in Dusseldorf.
Starlinger & Co.
"Many of the visitors to our exhibit asked us what we were planning to do with the sacks—dog food isn't exactly cheap," said Stéphane Soudais, head of Starlinger's Consumer Bags Division. "We had made up our minds not to let it go to waste, and we wanted to see it distributed fairly. So we decided to donate it where it would be needed most. The Vienna SPA provides shelter and rescue to animals in need, and our donation will contribute to that effort."

A few weeks ago, our clandestine spy photographers brought home the first good look at the next-generation Audi R8. We were all pretty stoked.
Now that we're kinda-sorta-maybe-slowly thawing out from this horrible winter, automakers are moving away from the harsh extremes of winter testing and taking their new wares for laps around the infamous Nürburgring. What better way to kick off the sports car testing season than some fresh shots of the next-generation Audi R8 supercar?

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Silence surrounds president's exit
Review into finances, staff departures at Red River College expected this fall
Stephanie Forsyth is out as president of Red River College after four often stormy years.
And that's about the only thing that was confirmed Wednesday -- Forsyth is gone, leaving in mysterious circumstances and under the cloud of a provincial government investigation into the college's finances and staff morale.
Red River College insisted Wednesday it did not fire Forsyth or give her a push, that leaving was her idea. But even so, she had not resigned.
The college won't talk about why she left, whether it's paid her severance, what her performance review showed or whether an ongoing provincial investigation played any role in Forsyth's departure.
Education Minister James Allum was equally unclear.
"We look forward to working with the new president and we continue to build and to grow a dynamic, innovative college that's built on excellence," Allum said, adding he was informed two weeks ago of Forsyth's decision to leave.
In April, Allum directed his staff and the Department of Finance's staff to conduct an extensive review of the financial and staff dealings at Red River. The review is to be completed this fall, and Allum said it would be made public.
"We'll be working to find ways of improving, if it's required, financial accountability at the college," he said.
The Manitoba Government and General Employees Union demanded a leadership review, citing a $2-million shortfall in the college budget, the departure of senior staff, low campus morale and a lack of confidence in college leadership.
At the time, an aide to Allum said the minister received "a number of serious allegations about financial and human-resource issues at Red River College. The minister has a responsibility to look into the allegations, which is why he immediately directed his department to undertake a review into those allegations."
Forsyth said, at the time, the review was prompted by what she called an ambush by college employees.
She officially left the job Sunday, after serving almost four years of a five-year contract, marred by turmoil over her expenses and a revolving door on senior management jobs.
Red River board of governors chairman Richard Lennon said in an interview Wednesday that Forsyth came back in mid-August from a summer-long vacation taken at her own request, and approached the board "to discuss moving on."
A mutual agreement was reached that she would leave effective Aug. 31, he said.
Lennon said the board did not ask Forsyth to go and he insisted it would be inaccurate to say she resigned -- Red River's favoured phrase is that Forsyth stepped down.
"She approached the board and that led to a discussion," said Lennon, who refused to say if Red River has paid or will pay Forsyth severance. "We won't discuss the terms of her departure.
"There's an agreement -- we don't discuss the terms of a staff member's departure."
He would not discuss reports Forsyth's spouse had moved back to B.C. and would not say whether the request to leave surprised him. Nor would he say whether the timing of her departure constitutes sufficient notice for such a high-profile position. Forsyth's home on Wellington Crescent is for sale.
Forsyth did not respond to interview requests sent by email and to her Twitter account Wednesday.
Forsyth arrived in September 2010 from Northwest Community College in northern British Columbia. She was intent on exploring her aboriginal roots and in making indigenous education and the environment priorities of the college's growth.
Post-secondary institutions typically decide whether to offer presidents a second term at the four-year mark of five-year contracts. Red River's board started a performance review in May, which, Lennon said, is incomplete. He would not discuss anything the performance review committee has concluded so far.
Nor would Lennon discuss Forsyth's previous three annual reviews or whether those reviews raised any concerns for the board of governors.
Lennon said there had been no discussion about offering Forsyth an extension and at no time had she requested a second term.
With 30,000 students and 2,000 staff, said Lennon, "We're focusing on moving ahead."
Last year, Forsyth came under fire over her expenses, including $205 golf shoes, a $134 bag she bought at the Vancouver airport, car washes, insurance, winter tires and a GPS device. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation made public her expenses, obtained through freedom of information legislation.
Said Forsyth in the spring: "Leadership isn't for the faint of heart." Declaring she wasn't going anywhere, Forsyth said then: "We've got lots to do. I'm very excited."
Lennon refused Wednesday to say how much money Red River has paid out in severance to departed senior employees who signed non-disclosure agreements.
"There's not a formal (board) sign-off -- the president makes human-resources decisions of staff reporting to her," was as far as Lennon would go.
Forsyth has not sought media attention very often during her tenure, infrequently alerting the media to any public appearances other than selected formal funding announcements.
Her name appeared in the Free Press only 32 times in four years, an extraordinarily low number for someone in her public position.
Lauren MacLean, president of the Red River College Students' Association, said the high satisfaction ratings given by students to the college speak for themselves and offered no further comment on Forsyth's departure.
"The students' association's priorities lie with providing the highest quality service to students and as long as the 95 per cent post-grad employment rate and the 93 per cent graduate satisfaction rate continues, I think the students' association will be happy," she told the Free Press.

Part of Something Great.
Student Life, that's the living and learning that takes place outside of the classroom and it's a big part of your college experience. It includes where you live, how you make connections, and that hard-to-define essence, or culture that separates Northland from other colleges. Northland College has its own ambience. We chalk it up to the presence of Lake Superior and northern forests, the friendly attitude of your professors and peers, and the companionship you feel when people call you by name. The Northland "style" takes on the spirit and character of each one of us, which strengthens our community. It takes a whole community to graduate a student. You might be thinking, "What kind of student chooses Northland?" Well, all kinds. We have athletes and academics and activists (sometimes in the same person). Explore all the dimensions of what it means to be a Northland student by browsing through our guides and services.

Interaction of Phenol-Soluble Modulins with Phosphatidylcholine Vesicles
Received: 10 May 2012 / Revised: 5 June 2012 / Accepted: 19 July 2012 / Published: 20 July 2012
(This article belongs to the Special Issue Feature Papers)
Abstract: Several members of the staphylococcal phenol-soluble modulin (PSM) peptide family exhibit pronounced capacities to lyse eukaryotic cells, such as neutrophils, monocytes, and erythrocytes. This is commonly assumed to be due to the amphipathic, α-helical structure of PSMs, giving PSMs detergent-like characteristics and allowing for a relatively non-specific destruction of biological membranes. However, the capacities of PSMs to lyse synthetic phospholipid vesicles have not been investigated. Here, we analyzed lysis of synthetic phosphatidylcholine (1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, POPC) vesicles by all Staphylococcus aureus and S. epidermidis PSMs. In addition, we investigated the lytic capacities of culture filtrates obtained from different S. aureus PSM deletion mutants toward POPC vesicles. Our results show that all staphylococcal PSMs have phospholipid vesicle-lysing activity and the capacity of S. aureus culture filtrate to lyse POPC vesicles is exclusively dependent on PSMs. Notably, we observed largely differing capacities among PSM peptides to lyse POPC vesicles. Interestingly, POPC vesicle-lytic capacities did not correlate with those previously seen for the lysis of eukaryotic cells. For example, the β-type PSMs were strongly lytic for POPC vesicles, but are known to exhibit only very low lytic capacities toward neutrophils and erythrocytes. Thus our results also suggest that the interaction between PSMs and eukaryotic membranes is more specific than previously assumed, potentially depending on additional structural features of those membranes, such as phospholipid composition or yet unidentified docking molecules.

Wall Street struggled for direction Wednesday as traders remained unconvinced by Federal Reserve assurances that the biggest banks would be able to resist a sharp economic downturn.
U.S. stock index futures pointed to a slightly higher open on Wall Street on Wednesday as investors built on Tuesday's rally, with banking stocks in the spotlight after the Federal Reserve announced that most U.S. banks had passed its stress tests, and gave an improved economic outlook.
The "Mad Money" host makes the case for this Internet stock.
Stocks finished off their worst levels Monday but still ended in the red as renewed concerns over Greece and slowing growth in China overshadowed better-than-expected economic news in the U.S.
Stocks eased off their lows but still failed to close in positive territory Friday, as gains were limited following a robust rally in recent weeks and no major news on the economic front gave investors little reason to jump in.
Stocks closed lower Wednesday, with the Dow logging its sharpest decline this year, amid ongoing worries over Greece, following the Federal Reserve's latest meeting minutes, and as Apple slumped.

Make time to visit remote Jasper and you'll not only get to drive the awe-inspiring Icefields Parkway, you'll discover a town with more of a frontier vibe than dressed-up, touristy Banff and Lake Louise to the south. There's not a whole lot to do in town, though that's precisely the point, as many people you meet here will be gearing up for an expedition into the amazing wilds of Jasper National Park. The seven-day Skyline Trail is a once-in-a-lifetime route that'll take you through grizzly country, high along ridges and past sparkling Maligne Lake. Of course, there are plenty of other great day and overnight hikes. The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge is everything you'd imagine in a Canadian Rockies retreat -- and then some! Go in winter and highlights include skiing at friendly Marmot Basin plus ice hikes through moonlit Maligne Canyon.

Pulling Hands out of the Till
Theil, Stefan, Newsweek
Byline: Stefan Theil
The best countries keep public and private sector graft in check.
For every success in fighting corruption, there's a fresh backslide. Although the U.S. and Europe have made spectacular gains in cracking down on corporate bribery, the financial crisis and its $20 trillion in bailouts and stimulus spending created a rash of opportunities to shift public resources to private pockets. It didn't help that the programs concentrated on some of the most fraud-ridden sectors, such as banking, real estate, energy, and infrastructure. China alone has arrested more than 3,000 officials for graft related to its $586 billion stimulus.
What's clear, however, is that some countries do much better than others in rooting out corruption. Their lessons, according to corruption experts at Transparency International, the Basel Institute on Governance, and the Brookings Institution:
Get government out of the shadows. Corruption thrives not just on plainly illegal bribes, but even more on legal practices such as political donations, lobbying, and the revolving doors that reward lawmakers and regulators with juicy jobs in industry. Sweden, a star performer in the corruption rankings, has cleaned up government by opening virtually all government records to the public. It's no coincidence that economists consider Sweden the world's textbook example for how to resolve a banking crisis resolutely and at minimal cost to taxpayers.

The Impending Return of Mark Sanford?
Scandal-plagued or not, South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford reportedly isn't willing to concede that his political career is over.
The Washington Post has piece stating that South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham's vote for Elena Kagan pretty much guarantees that he will have a credible Republican primary challenge in 2014, when he's next up for reelection. That isn't big news.
Given some of the stands he's taken and given the state he represents, I was actually quite surprised that Graham didn't have a strong primary challenge in 2008. I wouldn't be the first person to say that it's more likely that has a new job by 2014 or runs as an independent (or even a Democrat) or simply retires than that he runs again as a Republican -- I don't see how he could win.
However, the Post story did include an interesting tidbit when it listed possible opponents for Graham:
* Mark Sanford: Yes, that Mark Sanford. The soon-to-be-former governor has made clear to political insiders that he is interested in a return to politics and targeting Graham in 2014 might give Sanford enough time to rehab his badly damaged image.
I think Sanford's fundamental problem in making a comeback wouldn't be that he had an affair or that he traveled to Argentina without letting people in South Carolina know where he was. It would be that he wasn't a popular governor even before he did those things.
One reason Republicans are angry at Graham is his on-again, off-again support for cap-and-trade. So, it's also worth noting that Sanford's views on climate change are quite moderate in the context of the 2010 Republican Party.

Branch Cleanup in Firefox Repositories
January 28, 2015 at 08:35 PM | categories: Mercurial, Mozilla | View CommentsMozilla has historically done some funky things with the Firefox Mercurial repositories. One of the things we've done is create a bunch of named branches to track the Firefox release process. These are branch names like GECKO20b12_2011022218_RELBRANCH.
Over in bug 927219, we started the process of cleaning up some cruft left over from many of these old branches.
For starters, the old named branches in the Firefox repositories are being actively closed. When you hg commit --close-branch, Mercurial creates a special commit that says this branch is closed. Branches that are closed are automatically hidden from the output of hg branches and hg heads. As a result, the output of these commands is now much more usable.
Closed branches still constitute heads on the DAG. And several heads lead to degraded performance in some situations (notably push and pull times - the same thing happens in Git). I'd like to eventually merge these old heads so that repositories only have 1 or a small number of DAG heads. However, extra care must be taken before that step. Stay tuned.
Anyway, for the average person reading, you probably won't be impacted by these changes at all. The greatest impact will be from the person who lands the first change on top of any repository whose last commit was a branch close. If you commit on top of the tip commit, you'll be committing on top of a previously closed branch! You'll instead want to hg up default after you pull to ensure you are on the proper DAG head! And even then, if you have local commits, you may not be based on top of the appropriate commit! A simple run of hg log --graph should help you decipther the state of the world. (Please note that the usability problems around discovering the appropriate head to land on are a result of our poor branching strategy for the Firefox repositories. We probably should have named branches tracking the active Gecko releases. But that ship sailed years ago and fixing that is pretty far down the priority list. Wallpapering over things with the firefoxtree extensions is my recommended solution until matters are fixed.)
Modern Mercurial Documentation for Mozillians
January 15, 2015 at 02:45 PM | categories: Mercurial, Mozilla | View CommentsMozilla's Mercurial documentation has historically been pretty bad. The documentation on MDN (which I refuse to link to) is horribly disjointed and contains a lot of outdated recommendations. I've made attempts to burn some of it to the ground, but it is just too overwhelming.
I've been casually creating my own Mercurial documentation tailored for Mozillians. It's called Mercurial for Mozillians.
It started as a way to document extensions inside the version-control-tools repository. But, it has since evolved to cover other topics, like how to install Mercurial, how to develop using bookmarks, and how to interact with a unified Firefox repository. The documentation is nowhere near complete. But it already has some very useful content beyond what MDN offers.
I'm not crazy about the idea of having generic Mercurial documentation on a Mozilla domain (this should be part of the official Mercurial documentation). Nor am I crazy about moving content off MDN. I'm sure content will move to its appropriate location later. Until then, enjoy some curated Mercurial documentation!
If you would like to contribute to Mercurial for Mozillians, read the docs.
Major bzexport Updates
January 13, 2015 at 03:55 PM | categories: Mercurial, Mozilla | View CommentsThe bzexport Mercurial extension - an extension that enables you to easily create new Bugzilla bugs and upload patches to Bugzilla for review - just received some major updates.
First, we now have automated test coverage of bzexport! This is built on top of the version control test harness I previously blogged about. As part of the tests, we start Docker containers that run the same code that's running on bugzilla.mozilla.org, so interactions with Bugzilla are properly tested. This is much, much better than mocking HTTP requests and responses because if Bugzilla changes, our tests will detect it. Yay continuous integration.
Second, bzexport now uses Bugzilla' REST API instead of the legacy bzAPI endpoint for all but 1 HTTP request. This should make BMO maintainers very happy.
Third and finally, bzexport now uses shared code for obtaining Bugzilla credentials. The behavior is documented, of course. Behavior is not backwards compatible. If you were using some old configuration values, you will now see warnings when running bzexport. These warnings are actionable, so I shouldn't need to describe them here.
Please obtain the new code by pulling the version-control-tools repository. Or, if you have a Firefox clone, run mach mercurial-setup.
If you find any regressions, file a bug in the Developers Services :: Mercurial: bzexport component and have it depend on bug 1033394.
Thanks go out to Steve Fink, Ed Morley, and Ted Mielczarek for looking at the code.
Style Changes on hg.mozilla.org
January 09, 2015 at 03:25 PM | categories: Mercurial, Mozilla | View CommentsStarting today and continuing through next week, there will be a number of styling changes made to hg.mozilla.org.
The main goal of the work is to bring the style up-to-date with upstream Mercurial. This will result in more features being available to the web interface, hopefully making it more useful. This includes display of bookmarks and the Mercurial help documentation. As part of this work, we're also removing some files on the server that shouldn't be used. If you start getting 404s or notice an unexpected theme change, this is probably the reason why.
If you'd like to look over the changes before they are made or would like to file a bug against a regression (we suspect there will be minor regressions due to the large nature of the changes), head on over to bug 1117021 or ping people in #vcs on IRC.
Why hg.mozilla.org is Slow
December 19, 2014 at 02:40 PM | categories: Mercurial, Mozilla | View CommentsAt Mozilla, I often hear statements like Mercurial is slow. That's a very general statement. Depending on the context, it can mean one or more of several things:
- My Mercurial workflow is not very efficient
- hg commands I execute are slow to run
- hg commands I execute appear to stall
- The Mercurial server I'm interfacing with is slow
I want to spend time talking about a specific problem: why hg.mozilla.org (the server) is slow.
What Isn't Slow
If you are talking to hg.mozilla.org over HTTP or HTTPS (https://hg.mozilla.org/), there should not currently be any server performance issues. Our Mercurial HTTP servers are pretty beefy and are able to absorb a lot of load.
If https://hg.mozilla.org/ is slow, chances are:
- You are doing something like cloning a 1+ GB repository.
- You are asking the server to do something really expensive (like generate JSON for 100,000 changesets via the pushlog query interface).
- You don't have a high bandwidth connection to the server.
- There is a network event.
Previous Network Events
There have historically been network capacity issues in the datacenter where hg.mozilla.org is hosted (SCL3).
During Mozlandia, excessive traffic to ftp.mozilla.org essentially saturated the SCL3 network. During this time, requests to hg.mozilla.org were timing out: Mercurial traffic just couldn't traverse the network. Fortunately, events like this are quite rare.
Up until recently, Firefox release automation was effectively overwhelming the network by doing some clownshoesy things.
For example, gaia-central was being cloned all the time We had a ~1.6 GB repository being cloned over a thousand times per day. We were transferring close to 2 TB of gaia-central data out of Mercurial servers per day
We also found issues with pushlogs sending 100+ MB responses.
And the build/tools repo was getting cloned for every job. Ditto for mozharness.
In all, we identified a few terabytes of excessive Mercurial traffic that didn't need to exist. This excessive traffic was saturating the SCL3 network and slowing down not only Mercurial traffic, but other traffic in SCL3 as well.
Fortunately, people from Release Engineering were quick to respond to and fix the problems once they were identified. The problem is now firmly in control. Although, given the scale of Firefox's release automation, any new system that comes online that talks to version control is susceptible to causing server outages. I've already raised this concern when reviewing some TaskCluster code. The thundering herd of automation will be an ongoing concern. But I have plans to further mitigate risk in 2015. Stay tuned.
Looking back at our historical data, it appears that we hit these network saturation limits a few times before we reached a tipping point in early November 2014. Unfortunately, we didn't realize this because up until recently, we didn't have a good source of data coming from the servers. We lacked the tooling to analyze what we had. We lacked the experience to know what to look for. Outages are effective flashlights. We learned a lot and know what we need to do with the data moving forward.
Available Network Bandwidth
One person pinged me on IRC with the comment Git is cloning much faster than Mercurial. I asked for timings and the Mercurial clone wall time for Firefox was much higher than I expected.
The reason was network bandwidth. This person was performing a Git clone between 2 hosts in EC2 but was performing the Mercurial clone between hg.mozilla.org and a host in EC2. In other words, they were partially comparing the performance of a 1 Gbps network against a link over the public internet! When they did a fair comparison by removing the network connection as a variable, the clone times rebounded to what I expected.
The single-homed nature of hg.mozilla.org in a single datacenter in northern California is not only bad for disaster recovery reasons, it also means that machines far away from SCL3 or connecting to SCL3 over a slow network aren't getting optimal performance.
In 2015, expect us to build out a geo-distributed hg.mozilla.org so that connections are hitting a server that is closer and thus faster. This will probably be targeted at Firefox release automation in AWS first. We want those machines to have a fast connection to the server and we want their traffic isolated from the servers developers use so that hiccups in automation don't impact the ability for humans to access and interface with source code.
NFS on SSH Master Server
If you connect to http://hg.mozilla.org/ or https://hg.mozilla.org/, you are hitting a pool of servers behind a load balancer. These servers have repository data stored on local disk, where I/O is fast. In reality, most I/O is serviced by the page cache, so local disks don't come into play.
If you connect to ssh://hg.mozilla.org/, you are hitting a single, master server. Its repository data is hosted on an NFS mount. I/O on the NFS mount is horribly slow. Any I/O intensive operation performed on the master is much, much slower than it should be. Such is the nature of NFS.
We'll be exploring ways to mitigate this performance issue in 2015. But it isn't the biggest source of performance pain, so don't expect anything immediately.
Synchronous Replication During Pushes
When you hg push to hg.mozilla.org, the changes are first made on the SSH/NFS master server. They are subsequently mirrored out to the HTTP read-only slaves.
As is currently implemented, the mirroring process is performed synchronously during the push operation. The server waits for the mirrors to complete (to a reasonable state) before it tells the client the push has completed.
Depending on the repository, the size of the push, and server and network load, mirroring commonly adds 1 to 7 seconds to push times. This is time when a developer is sitting at a terminal, waiting for hg push to complete. The time for Try pushes can be larger: 10 to 20 seconds is not uncommon (but fortunately not the norm).
The current mirroring mechanism is overly simple and prone to many failures and sub-optimal behavior. I plan to work on fixing mirroring in 2015. When I'm done, there should be no user-visible mirroring delay.
Pushlog Replication Inefficiency
Up until yesterday (when we deployed a rewritten pushlog extension, the replication of pushlog data from master to server was very inefficient. Instead of tranferring a delta of pushes since last pull, we were literally copying the underlying SQLite file across the network!
Try's pushlog is ~30 MB. mozilla-central and mozilla-inbound are in the same ballpark. 30 MB x 10 slaves is a lot of data to transfer. These operations were capable of periodically saturating the network, slowing everyone down.
The rewritten pushlog extension performs a delta transfer automatically as part of hg pull. Pushlog synchronization now completes in milliseconds while commonly only consuming a few kilobytes of network traffic.
Early indications reveal that deploying this change yesterday decreased the push times to repositories with long push history by 1-3s.
Pretty much any interaction with the Try repository is guaranteed to have poor performance. The Try repository is doing things that distributed versions control systems weren't designed to do. This includes Git.
If you are using Try, all bets are off. Performance will be problematic until we roll out the headless try repository.
That being said, we've made changes recently to make Try perform better. The median time for pushing to Try has decreased significantly in the past few weeks. The first dip in mid-November was due to upgrading the server from Mercurial 2.5 to Mercurial 3.1 and from converting Try to use generaldelta encoding. The dip this week has been from merging all heads and from deploying the aforementioned pushlog changes. Pushing to Try is now significantly faster than 3 months ago.
Many of the reasons for hg.mozilla.org slowness are known. More often than not, they are due to clownshoes or inefficiencies on Mozilla's part rather than fundamental issues with Mercurial.
We have made significant progress at making hg.mozilla.org faster. But we are not done. We are continuing to invest in fixing the sub-optimal parts and making hg.mozilla.org faster yet. I'm confident that within a few months, nobody will be able to say that the servers are a source of pain like they have been for years.
Furthermore, Mercurial is investing in features to make the wire protocol faster, more efficient, and more powerful. When deployed, these should make pushes faster on any server. They will also enable workflow enhancements, such as Facebook's experimental extension to perform rebases as part of push (eliminating push races and having to manually rebase when you lose the push race).

i have just moved recently to a new state, and can not find a doctor who prescribes either one. i made my last refill last for 2 1-2 months, but am now starting my withdrawls, and i am very scared. the xanax are for anxiety/ptsd/panick, and the hydro's are for chronic migraine, and back pain. i have been on the hydro's for 20 years and on the xanax for 18 years, only one other time have i experienced withdrawls, when my purse was stolen and my meds were in the purse. i am wondering if anyone has any ideas for help thru this very scary withdrawl, knowing that i still do not have a doctor. (my understanding is that the dr's in this tri state area do not prescribe either of these meds because of the drug abuse in this area). any suggestions, i am very panicky and scared right now, this is going to be a rough one. thanking you in advance!! :)
Need help please? I am starting withdrawl from xanax and hydro's?

Hi bells62,
The hydro withdrawal will not kill you, yet you may feel as though it will.
The Xanax on the other hand is NOT a medication you can stop cold turkey, as seizures are a possibility.
Please go to your nearest ER and explain your situation, perhaps they can prescript both meds until you can find a doc that can prescribe your meds for you.
How much Xanax were you taking, how often and how many mgs?
Please get back to us, as this is important!!
Best wishes bells62,
... sorry for the typo, I mean to write Perhaps they can prescribe both meds!!!
Hi sweet lemon, I hope I have used this web site correctly so that you can see my response.
First, thank you for your response, it is just nice to have someone to bounce my fears and anxiety with.
5 Oct 2011
Von has a good point. Do you have your records form your previous Drs? No Dr will just prescribe these meds without some kind of previous records that you were getting them. If you have your records showing that you have had documented reasons to be on them and that you have a good track record of taking them for all these years with no problems then you really shouldnt have trouble finding a Dr to take over your care. You might try contacting your previous Dr and let him know that you are having so much trouble. He might be able to write one or two more Rxs and he might be able to help you find someone in your new area. If he is willing and you had good rapport with him, he might even be able to call a Dr in your state and ask them to take over your care. I doubt you will get much help from the ER-most wont give anything beyond a day or two supply of meds to get you by until you can see a regular Dr and going to the ER is expensive.
This is all true what Dzoo is saying. get your records and call up you former doc and see if he can help. Von

Converse Chuck Taylor 1970s "Black Leather Floral" by Zack Schlemmer 2 Comments
April 2, 2013 BY Aaron Hope / 1
The latest Converse Chuck Taylor All Star looks like it doesn't just feature the namesake baller/salesman on the signature medial ankle patch. And even if it's not the legendary Charles Taylor for whom the shoe was renamed who adorns it, it's hard not to think of him when when you see the short-shorted retro hoopsters on this new 'Basketplayers' All Star Hi. Mint and white canvas uppers have been treated to an all-over pattern featuring basketball players and cheerleaders, and you can see more of this latest Converse Japan release after the jump.

Looks and feels great!!! I absolutely love this rug! It is worth way more than what I paid! I vaccuum it often because I have a little one and dogs and it has taken the wear well. It is a bit more on the gray side than in the picture, but I wouldn't say it is gray and not cream colored. Great buy!!

The white/cream is really a greyish color. Love the rug; VERY soft. In true daylight, the creamish color is more of a grey tone. At night with artificial light it ooks more cream. I have a couple cats and the rug does collect fur but it vacuums up well.

Beautiful, lovely rug!!! I love everything about the Orange Hudson Park 8X10 rug. It's very soft, wonderful color and durable. I would buy it again over and over. We have it in our dining room, cleans up easily. Our dog won't get off it so it's easily and frequently vacuumed.

Amazing modern rug! I was little nervous about ordering this rug. I have seen the reviews saying the white isn't white but cream. I was hoping for something darker than white. When it arrived, I was so amazed on how beautiful it looks! Its close to light gray/cream (and orange). It fits in my living room perfectly. The rug is also in GREAT quality, its sturdy and does not roll up back. I would recommend you to get this if you want to give your living room a pop! It looks GREAT with my grey couch, grey walls and teal curtains!

LOVE this rug!! Rug looks awesome in my retro styled living room. Orange paisley curtains with a gray couch.....As any new rug goes, when I vaccuum, there is a lot of fuzz that gets pulled up. I have a dog, so I probably vaccuum more than the average home owner. But just beware of that when maintaining the rug.

Questions & Answers
Thank you for your question, redbirdlover79. Yes, the angelo:HOME Hand-tufted Orange Hudson Park Polyester Rug (8' x 10') would be suitable anywhere. Scotch guard can actually attrack more dirt and does not offer a permanent solution to ward off stains, as there is a unrealistic performance promise. All you need to do is spot clean the rug with warm soapy water and a clean cloth. Have a great day.
what is the background color - beige or grey?
It is grey on my monitor. I don't see any beige at all. Due to the difference of monitor colors,some rug colors may vary slightly. We try to represent all rug colors accurately.
How soft is this rug? It is for a child's room so I want to make sure it is comfortable.
This rug has a pile height of 0.625 inch, which is plush. It is quite soft and would be well suited for a child''s room.

@nikkisoda Thanks for the info - I think that might be the way to go just so we can make sure to get the right size!

@Nicole Perry Now that I clicked on your link I see that they are offering a D'artagnan pig. At least if you go directly to the website you can choose your size. It's a bit spend but so worth it. Especially for a party. It feeds and gives great conversations. =)
2 years
@Nicole Perry We ordered ours from www.dartagnan.com They have a few different sizes, so that helps with the price. We ordered a 30 pounder, feeding 35 people. There was plenty left over. Good luck!

No problem @nikkisoda, it all looked so enticing! A quick question, where did you get the pig from? A local butcher? Gilt Taste (http://www.gilttaste.com/products/76578378-d-artagnan-whole-suckling-pig)? I haven't really done my research yet, but was at least considering Gilt Taste as a back up if I couldn't find one locally, my only reservation being that their suckling pig, though undeniably gorgeous, is a bit spendy (about $500 with shipping)...

The suckling pig was next level deliciousness! You must do it for your Birthday bash. Thanks for sharing my pictures!

LA Opera is presenting the popular comedy opera that is sure to delight: Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro. The story follows Figaro as his world is turning upside down. On the eve of the wily barber's marriage to Susanna, Count Almaviva's wandering eye has landed on the lovely bride-to-be. Servant and master go head to head, and even the Countess herself must spring into battle when she learns of her husband's plans. Or is she embroiled in a liaison of her own? On Sunday, March 15 in Crowell Library's Barth Community Room, learn all about this classic opera and enjoy performances by two local singers, Anne Gholson and Cody Lowery, accompanied by keyboards. They will sing selections from Mozart's opera interspersed with the speaker's discussion.
