My Moon Over Soho book arrived a couple of days ago, so I finally managed to read Midnight Riot, finished yesterday.
I liked it quite a bit, though it was a bit different than I was expecting. It's heavy in the procedural aspect, a bit slow with the pace, but very well written and attention to detail, particularly as it regards the city of London and it's history, as well as the police structure.
I'm not so sure if a British Dresden Files really fits to describe this book, and I can't say in all honesty that if you like the Dresden Files then this would be an automatic read for you. I thought them different enough. Harry is to Urban Fantasy what Jack Bauer is to action tv, and I don't see Peter Grant built in that mold.
And certainly, the comedy is different.
But enough of comparisons, I thought it was very well written, and Peter Grant a very likable character, I do hope he gains a bit more of personality as we go further. Main complaint is that it seems that the book at times falters a bit in narrative energy, and the plot gets a distracted a times. I did like how they use magic here though, looking forward to see how the aspect develops. I thought it a bit too dry in the dramatic/emotional department at times, but no biggie for me.
Started Moon Over Soho this morning, and so far so good. It picks up not long after the end of Midnight Riot/Rivers of London. Any of you started/read Moon Over Soho yet?

I enjoyed Midnight Riot and I didn't get the sense it had been Americanized. I seem to remember a lot of British idioms and cues like the old guy (real old) in charge of Peter's department reading the Telegraph (the old codger's paper in the UK).

Lately I've been trying to order from Barnes and Noble since I'm getting good prices with their coupons + shipping in orders of $25 of more.
I still get good prices from BD particularly with pre-orders on mass paperbacks ($5.99), but other than that they're not providing any longer the vast advantage in pricing they used to have, particularly with hardcovers.

Book 2: Moon Over Soho
Chief Inspector Thomas Nightingale, the last government-sanctioned wizard in Britain and the guy who handles all the weird stuff the Met is clueless about, and his apprentice Peter Grant are on a new case. The body of a jazz musician is found with strong evidence that he was killed by magic. Grant, whose father is an influential 'almost made it' jazz musician in his own right, finds himself drawn back into his father's troubled life as he hunts down the murderer in Soho.
Moon Over Soho is the sequel to the recently-published Rivers of London (called Midnight Riot in the USA for reasons that have never been adequately explained), which made an impressive splash when it was released just three months ago. This series has been described as a British take on The Dresden Files and though there are vague similarities, the main difference between them is cultural: Aaronovitch lives and breathes London, its history and culture, and that comes out in his writing (not just here; anyone who's seen his Doctor Who TV serial Remembrance of the Daleks can see it there as well). London in his books, even this alterno-magical London of river spirits, chimeras and emotional vampires, is as much a character as Grant, Nightingale and the slowly-expanding recurring cast of semi-regulars.
As with the first novel, this is good stuff. The plot unfolds at a cracking pace, there are intriguing backstory revelations about Nightingale and the history of magic, and the characterisation is very strong. There's some effective moments of true horror, and Aaronovitch doesn't brush the consequences of events in the first book under the table. There's some simmering subplots (like Grant's awkward relationship with the river spirits, most notably Lady Tyburn who is in danger of becoming his nemesis) and the introduction of a presumably recurring villain, no doubt sowing the seeds of a multi-book ongoing storyline. In fact, this series is screaming out for a TV adaptation, so applicable is the structure of a stand-alone main plot with ongoing subplots combined with interesting characters.
There are some minor negatives: one plot twist - where Grant's judgement takes a jump out the window as he gets involved with a potential suspect - I assumed was the result of Grant being bewitched or put under a spell, but it appears not, so is just inexplicable. One bunch of characters - who have the potential to be a sort of jazz-playing equivalent of the Lone Gunmen from The X-Files - are introduced who appear to be important to the plot, but then don't do much here (I assume they'll be back later on). Nightingale has some key scenes but generally sits a lot of the book out. In this sense the TV correlation is less successful as there's a fair amount of loose ends left flapping around where their establishment doesn't accomplish much in this book (whilst others, like the setting up an ongoing villain, work much better). Still, we don't have too long to wait for the third book: Whispers Under Ground will be out in November this year.
Moon Over Soho (****½) has a more focused plot than the first novel but also feels a little more unresolved, so it evens out. It's still a relentlessly entertaining, fast-moving and enjoyable urban fantasy with intriguing hints of greater depth waiting to be explored. The novel is available now in the UK and USA.

I just posted my review for Moon Over Soho. I liked it - a great follow up. An excerpt from my review is below:
The plot of Moon Over Soho owes a lot to traditional pulp mysteries. I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll just say that much is predictable, but it doesn't really matter since it's fun and engaging. I find I'm much less interested in the immediate plot on hand than the background. What is the history of Peter's boss Nightingale? Peter's own evolution as a wizard. Just how is magic operating in a modern London? And frankly, Peter is just a fun guy to follow and the 'real' London that Aaronovitch creates is addicting. Peter isn't perfect – he's a rookie that makes mistakes and doesn't know all that much. And it's always a relief to have a character who doesn't miraculously become an expert in everything – even if Peter does have the occasional miraculous leap.
In many ways, the conclusion to Moon Over Soho was both hugely disappointing and quite satisfying. The original mystery on hand is resolved, however other introduced issues are not. More resolution would have been great – but I'm also very intrigued by the possibility of an 'arch-nemesis' being introduced. And the future of The Folly is going to get quite interesting.
This is another fun entry in what is fast becoming one of my favorite ongoing urban fantasy series. I may not be able to physically travel to London near as often as I'd like, but at least I get a tour that the tourists don't when I read about Peter Grant's London. Thankfully, the wait for the next entry won't be long because Whispers Under Ground is coming in May, 2012.

I finished up Rivers of London yesterday, and really enjoyed it (3 books I enjoyed in a row - unheard of!). At it's simplest level you'd call it "British Dresden Files", and while there are parallels and I'd recommend it to fans of Dresden, I don't at any stage feel it's a knock off, despite the parallels. I see potential here, and will be ordering the follow ups soon.

An excerpt of my review of Whispers Underground:
First – ignore the description on the back cover of the book. It's one of the worst I've ever read – it does not in any way reflect actual events and feelings in the book. Yes, there is an American FBI agent and yes she seems to be a conservative Christian. However, that is a tiny tangent and not really much of an issue at all – in fact, she's rather likeable and I wish the synopsis had not made me predisposed to disliking her. It's really unfortunate that the publishers did such a disservice to the book with this synopsis.
In Whispers Underground Peter is called to investigate the murder of an American art student and the son of a US Senator. The murder takes place in a subway tunnel, which of course leads Peter deep into the Underground, often guided by a particularly untrustworthy informant. The murder plot itself is not terribly interesting and the eventual solution is a bit unconvincing. However, the strength of Aaronovitch's writing is more in the police procedure and the interlacing of the supernatural with the reality we all think we know as told from the point of view of a well-created and out-right interesting main character. In many ways the murder simply doesn't matter as the main investigation and a few tangents further real the reality of Aaronovitch's London.
Whispers Underground continues in the direction that Aaronovitch has set for the series – it may be focused around a single investigation, but further groundwork is laid for growth of the Folly (the team of 'supernatural' investigators), for future confrontation with a particularly nasty bad guy, growth of Peter and Leslie's (potential?) relationship, and more hints of the wider world of magic.

Mission Accomplished, Captain'
24 June 2011
Mission Accomplished, Captain'
Glastonbury festival. Show day.
I got a pretty good night's sleep, getting up in time to catch the end of breakfast before heading back into the Glastonbury festival site around noon. There wasn't going to be a great deal that I could achieve as other bands are playing on 'our' stage all day, but I wanted to have an opportunity to walk around the site, soak up some of the atmosphere, gauge the mood of the camp and maybe even see some bands play. Festivals are also the great crew crossroads of the world so I guessed I'd run into a hundred people that I know.
The mud was still pretty challenging but we all had our wellies so it was negotiable. The Glastonbury site is vast, and the further away from 'downtown' you get, the more out there and interesting it becomes. 'Lost Vagueness', 'Shangri-la', the healing fields, installations, encampments – there's a whole section of festival-goers who will never make it anywhere near the Pyramid Stage. I wandered by the 'Other Stage' and saw a band called "The Naked and Famous" who turned out to be neither but sounded quite interesting in a minimalist electro-pop kind of a way. Further out at the 'Spirit of '71 Stage' I saw the Noel Harrison trio playing a delightful folky set to about two dozen people, at which point I felt like I was getting somewhere into the heart of the festival.
By 2.30pm a gentle but insistent drizzle began to fall and at this point I realised that I'd forgotten to bring along the sodding umbrella that I'd dragged all the way from London. The punters didn't seem greatly fussed by the rain. There was enough 'first day' energy in the air to keep spirits up and besides it wasn't raining with any great conviction. I really wanted to see The Vaccines, as I love the album so was keen to see if they were any good live. I found my way to the 'Other Stage' just as they were starting up and allowed myself to be a punter for while. They were pretty good – took a few songs to warm up but that's entirely fair enough at a broad daylight festival slot. After half an hour I began to feel the effect of standing still hatless and umbrella-less in the rain, so headed back to central command to dry off and warm up. That was pretty much it for my festival experience, but it was better than nothing.
The drizzle continued all day without ceasing which eventually started to become a drag. I retrieved my umbrella at least and also discovered the BBC compound (managing to blag yet another wristband pass to get in there) which is quieter and marginally drier than the Pyramid Stage backstage compound. It struck me for the first time that a real detrimental side-effect of the rain for the masses out there, aside from the obvious feeling permanently cold and damp, is that there's nowhere to sit down. There's very limited seating at the food and drink vendors (practically none undercover) and you're not about to lounge on the ex-grass. Also, the energy required with every step just to lift your foot out of the mud becomes increasingly like boot camp.
The day wore on and eventually U2 arrived on site. Edge was in first as he also fancied a poke around, then the others gradually followed. They were in good form, really seeming quite peaceful about what they were about to do. Perhaps like me they felt that they were as prepared as they could possibly be, so we may as well just relax into it. Morrissey took the Pyramid Stage as the drizzle turned into a more committed precipitation and I had a group huddle with the band to show them (via sketches and photographs) what the stage layout looked like, as there would be no opportunity for them to actually see it until they walked out there to play. Then the final set list sign off and we were under starters orders.
Morrissey finished his set, so I had one last look around the stage to make sure nothing was obviously awry and headed for the mix position. The rain was pretty convincing by now so getting to front of house was extremely challenging, squeezing through the bedraggled hordes. I made it and took up my position by Ethan at the lighting desk. There's no guest platform out front (who'd be brave enough to get there?) but just a few band guests made it to join us, including Damien Hirst who'd come to see the debut of his extraordinary video sequence for Real Thing. The opening of U2's Glastonbury set was designed to be very video heavy, essentially being half an hour of ZooTV complete with the original visuals from 1992/93, plus the new Hirst piece. We realised that this was the antithesis of the expected 'Glastonbury Spirit' where we're all very lo-fi and camp with the punters, but sometimes you have to swim against the tide.
I'd had a recurring waking nightmare of technical catastrophe that would leave me standing next to Damien Hirst, watching U2 arrive on stage and playing in front of an array of blank screens. Little did I know how extremely close we came to having this vision become reality. Finally, finally, after eighteen months of pontificating, we are all at Glastonbury with the intro tape of Bowie's Space Oddity playing. This led into the siren sequence at the top of Real Thing and the video screens bursting into life with images of hatching flies in extreme close up (go Damien!) I noticed, however, that the two festival screens which were supposed to be carrying the camera pictures of the performers were black, and remained so as the song kicked in and the crowd went nuts. I'd expected the Hirst visual to appear enigmatic, but seeing it in isolation with no images of the band amid this tremendous sound was bordering on performance art. And was kind of fantastic.
I was to learn later that, almost simultaneously, two massive gig-threatening events had come to pass. Back stage, the BBC have their whole live broadcast set up and also, in a separate trailer, Smasher (our touring video director) had his whole set up to switch the screen cameras and control all the video playback material. Literally at the moment that Larry first started beating the hell out of his drums at the top of Real Thing, the generator powering Smasher's truck died, dumping his entire system into darkness. Later he told me that he actually thought he was going to have a heart attack (no doubt, like me, having fantasised about worst-case-scenarios). He genuinely thought that U2 were now on stage playing in front of seven giant video screens showing diddly-squat, but then he noticed that the little back-up system he'd brought with him had kicked in and was happily running on its own battery. He stuck his head out of the trailer and could see that there was light blaring from the screens and that all was well. Smasher's MacBook was running the Damien Hirst piece all by itself, and the day was saved.
Meanwhile on stage, catastrophe of similar magnitude was simultaneously being avoided by the narrowest of margins. Terry, who on the 360 tour plays keyboards and runs the computer click-tracks from 'underworld' beneath the stage, was set up on stage right. There's no 'underworld' at Glastonbury and earlier in the day I'd joked with Terry that he would finally see U2 play live, rather than via the complex CCTV set up we have on the 360 tour. He was set up on Edge's side of the stage, tucked behind one of the video screens that we'd brought. Between Terry and the front edge of the stage, the Glastonbury DJ had a little set up, to entertain the crowd during the changeover periods. Said DJ had decided to stay there to watch U2 and, going with the festival spirit, nobody objected him being there. Not, that is, until U2 kicked into Real Thing and this guy started dancing and jumping about like a lunatic, knocking over Terry's computer rack in the process. Many songs are played in a manner we call "off the grid", i.e. it's just the four of them playing at whatever tempo Larry is beating out, but songs that play over loops or effects (e.g. With or Without You or I'll Go Crazy), or that have synchronised video content, need to stay exactly in sync and so are played over a click track (that the audience don't hear). All of this comes from Terry's computer set up, and so do all of the video triggers that launch the visual images at exactly the right moment. You can imagine that this is not an uncomplicated set-up, and I'm sure poor Terry saw the whole thing in slow motion, as his central nervous system crashed to the floor.
Thank the universe that, just prior to hitting the deck, Terry's machine had sent the trigger to Smasher's video playback system so the Damien Hirst video sequence had launched. Literally seconds later, both Terry and Smasher's set-ups had both been rendered useless but by then the gig had started, the band was playing and the visuals were running themselves from the back-up laptop. If you listen back to the BBC broadcast you can hear that during the first verse of Real Thing Terry's "weedly-weedly" keyboard runs are missing because he wasn't able to play them at the same time as scraping his computer off the floor.
On stage, of course, the band had no idea that any of this was happening but were facing challenges of their own, not least that the persistent rain had turned the stage surface into an ice-rink. Not only were the musicians finding themselves in entirely unknown physical territory but also in a situation where they had no idea what might happen if they attempted sudden movement. All of us then found ourselves in extremely challenging circumstances but by this time the rocket was launched and the energy of the moment carried everything. It turned into a great gig and the audience, gawd bless 'em each and every one, managed to remain energetic and rowdy throughout even though I'm sure they were in considerable discomfort. I did have to laugh at one point. 'Elevation' is a useful gauge of crowd energy and I looked out of the mixer tower at this point to survey the field and see how they were doing. There was lots of hand-waving but I was surprised that there wasn't more jumping up and down. I realised then of course that the reason they weren't jumping up and down was because they couldn't… 80,000 pair of wellied feet, sucked into the mud, so hand waving would have to suffice.
We made it through to Moment of Surrender and the last little treat of Out of Control (oddly my favourite two songs of the night), before retiring to the backstage compound to fall in a heap. I looked at my phone and saw I'd had texts from twenty-one people during the show, all raving about what they'd seen on TV, so at this point I finally gave myself permission to relax. Mission accomplished, captain. For once we didn't do a runner but stayed at the gig to join the party. There was a hog roast (in a large tent, as it was still raining) where we ate drank and were merry. We laughed because, surveying the room, from the waist up it looked like the most A-list celebrity hang-out you can imagine, but from the waist down it looked like a farming convention.
At godknowswhat hour we did finally leave and headed for the town of Bath where we were to spend what remained of the night. I'd been warned ahead of time that I'd been bumped from the Hotel Fabulous to Mrs. Miggins' B&B down the road, due to a rash of last minute guests and family. I didn't mind as it was so brief a stay, and I could appreciate that these were unusual circumstances (plus Tour Management now owe me big time, which never hurts - I can feel a suite in New York coming on.) However, on arrival at 4am I discovered that my room at Mrs Miggins' had been cancelled. I was face to face with the night porter who was highly accomplished at that particularly English art of giving the appearance of falling over himself to be helpful whilst actually being controlling, obstructive and all the while letting you know just how inconvenient the whole situation is for him in particular. I just said "Look, I'm going to take a seat over there, so when you've got a key, come and give it to me." Some while later he did just that, and I headed up to the fifth floor. The key didn't fit the door…

Hey, I have a WC capable game of Chimu going. It seems a simple WC. I easily conquered Inca Empire to have the greatest income of any nation on earth. Later, my income was second to Portugal. Support for troops varies between 57K to 67K.
What makes the WC so easy is that I legitimately received a random conquistador in 1503. Spain traded maps then I stabbed them in the back and took Andalusia, Toledo, and a colony for peace. I just had to do that since I do that with every WC game I play. I just had to see that it was possible for an American nation. It is amazing to see the South American soldier icons scurring around in Iberia. They remind me of insects.
Really, I wanted to try a WC when not receiving a conquistador until about 1550, which is about average odds I suppose. Because of the land tech difference, you cannot profitably attack Spain that late to get Andalusia.
So the question is do we need a WC AAR with an American like Chimu?

Tom Petty Doesn't Want Live Show To Be A 'Jukebox' Of Hits
Thursday, May 30, 2013
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers are currently out on tour and switching their setlist up from night-to-night. Petty, who has no shortage of hits to pack his shows with, told Rolling Stone that in order to keep things fresh for him and the band, he needs to shy away from the tried-and-true fan favorites at every concert.
Petty explained his reasons for the band's current setlists, saying, "I was feeling that (our show was getting stale). We felt kind of obligated to play all the most popular songs, because people pay so much for tickets. But I want to play some of these other songs, rather just get trapped into what people expect. I've written a lot of good songs that weren't released as singles. I'd rather be known for that then for making lots of hits. . . I could be a jukebox, but I don't want to be. I just feel like we have more to offer."
Tom Petty told us that the Heartbreakers have always been able to bring something new each and every time they gear up for another album or tour: "I think we would all be embarrassed if we weren't getting better -- there's not any reason to keep doing it if we weren't. It seems like, over the years, that every time we get together and plug in and start to play, we've come a little further than we were. And as long as it keeps doing that, I'm interested in it. Y'know, I still really love playing with this band."
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers tour dates (subject to change):
June 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11 - Los Angeles, CA - The Fonda
June 15 - Noblesville, IN - Klipsch Music Center

I have a sad steam history too.
Last week i was traveling with my notebook without my 3g modem and i couldn't play hl2, IT DOESN'T RUN ON LINUX.
Sorry i am a troll, but i wont claim if Source come to linux.
I got no problems with Steam on LAN-Parties without Internet-connections. All runs without problems. We have a dedicated server for the games and no problem to connect to it and it doesn't need to connect to the masterservers or any other servers. RTFM
Dopehouse what games where you playing.I know what I'm saying when I sad no more LAN party's.My friend and me tried playing with steam.One day in our dorm room we had no access to internet and guess what we couldn't play any of our games in LAN although we where just 2 feet apart from each other.FREAKING EPIC FAIL.And now there is a talk that all save-games go to one server,steam's server(maybe there already is I don't know).Windows live games and that crap already does that but it gives you option to save it on your PC,but it's just a time until they change their mind's in Mic...
I was talking about SourceEngine games like HL², CS:S, TF2...
And anything thats not based on these Engine is not related to Valve.

The Arterial System
The Arterial System consists of the heart and the body's arteries. Arteries are blood vessels that take blood away from the heart. Veins are blood vessels that return blood to the heart. Capillaries are smaller blood vessels that assist the arteries in transporting the oxygen rich blood to the outer areas of the body. The heart functions as the pump that pushes the blood through the blood vessels. In order for the human body to function properly, it must receive a constant supply of blood.
Normally, the artery walls expand to allow blood to flow through easily. This helps to maintain normal blood pressure.
Measuring Blood Pressure
Your heart beats about 60 to 80 times a minute under normal conditions.Your blood pressure rises with each heartbeat and falls when your heart relaxes between beats. Your blood pressure can change from minute to minute, with changes in posture, exercise or sleeping. Your doctor may take several readings over a period of time before making a judgment about whether or not your blood pressure is considered to be in a high level range.
As blood is pumped through your body it exerts a force against the blood vessels. The amount of blood the heart pumps and the resistance of the arteries determines your blood pressure. Blood pressure is recorded as two numbers, a top number and a bottom number. The top number is your systolic number. This represents the pressure while the heart is beating. The bottom number is your diastolic pressure, or the blood pressure when the heart is at rest between beats.
The systolic pressure is always stated first and the diastolic pressure second. For example: 122/76 (122 over 76); systolic = 122, diastolic = 76.
Normal vs. High Blood Pressure
Normal blood pressure is below 120/80. To get an accurate reading, blood pressure should be taken several times during the day to find an average blood pressure. Blood pressure readings 120-139/80-89 are considered "prehypertensive" and are considered at increased risk for high blood pressure. High blood pressure is any reading that is equal to or over 140/90. If your blood pressure is above that reading, you may have high blood pressure, or hypertension.
Many people have high blood pressure for years without knowing it. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to stroke, heart attack, heart failure or kidney damage. According to recent statistics, one in three U.S. adults has high blood pressure, but because there are no symptoms, nearly one-third of these people don't even know that they have it.
High blood pressure can hurt your body in many ways especially by increasing to the workload of your heart and arteries. Because your heart must work harder than normal for a long time, it tends to get bigger. A slightly bigger heart may work well, but if it's enlarged too much, it may have a hard time meeting your body's demands.
High blood pressure is the No. 1 modifiable risk factor for a stroke. It may also contribute to heart attacks, kidney failure and atherosclerosis. In some cases, it can cause blindness. Compared to people with controlled high blood pressure, people with uncontrolled high blood pressure are:
- Three times more likely to develop coronary heart disease
- Six times more likely to develop congestive heart failure
- Seven times more likely to have a stroke
Arteries and arterioles (small arteries) also suffer the effects of higher blood pressure. As you grow older, your arteries will harden and become less elastic. This occurs gradually in all people, even if they don't have high blood pressure. But having high blood pressure tends to speed up this process, medically known as atherosclerosis.
Arterial damage is bad because hardened or narrowed arteries may not be able to supply the amount of blood the body's organs need. And if the body's organs don't get enough of the oxygen and nutrients the blood delivers, they can't work properly. Another risk is that a blood clot may lodge in an artery narrowed by atherosclerosis, depriving part of the body of its normal blood supply.
If you have high blood pressure, follow your doctor's advice. Most high blood pressure can't be cured, but it usually can be controlled through physician prescribed lifestyle modifications, drug therapies and routine physician follow up. And, its effects can be prevented or reduced - if it's treated and controlled early, and kept under control.
Blood Vessels and High Blood Pressure
Normal Artery
Blood flows through easily in a normal artery. The white arrows represent blood pressure.
Constricted Artery
When you have high blood pressure, the blood vessels become tight and constricted, forcing the heart to pump harder to move blood through. These changes cause the blood to press on the vessel walls with great force.
Over time, fatty deposits may build up along the walls and cause hardening of the arteries. The heart must work even harder to pump blood through these hardened arteries.
Risk Factors that Affect Blood Pressure
If you are an adult and your normal blood pressure level is 140/90 mm Hg or above, you could be at risk for heart disease, stroke and other medical problems. See a doctor and get recommendations on how to manage your blood pressure and how often to have it checked. Remember, high blood pressure has no symptoms, so if you haven't had it checked in a while, make an appointment now. One in four adult Americans has high blood pressure, and nearly one-third of them don't know they have it.
Factors that contribute to high blood pressure
Because medical science doesn't understand why most cases of high blood pressure occur, it's hard to say how to prevent it. However, we do know of several factors that may contribute to high blood pressure and put you at risk for a heart attack and/or stroke.
Controllable risk factors
- Obesity - People with a body mass index (BMI) of 30.0 or higher are more likely to develop high blood pressure.
- Smoking - If you smoke, ask your healthcare professional or doctor about a program to help you quit.
- Eating too much salt - This increases blood pressure in some people.
- Alcohol - Heavy and regular use of alcohol can increase blood pressure dramatically.
- Lack of exercise - An inactive lifestyle makes it easier to become overweight and increases the chance of high blood pressure.
- Stress - This is often mentioned as a risk factor. However, stress levels are hard to measure, and responses to stress vary from person to person. However, it is always best to try to eliminate as much stress from your life as possible.
Uncontrollable risk factors
- Race - African Americans have a higher occurrence of high blood pressure than other ethnicities. High blood pressure also tends to occur earlier and be more severe in African Americans.
- Heredity - A tendency to have high blood pressure runs in families. If your parents or other close blood relatives have it, you're more likely to develop it.
- Age - In general, the older you get, the greater your chance of developing high blood pressure. It occurs most often in people over age 35. Men seem to develop it most often between age 35 and 50. Women are more likely to develop it after menopause.
- Sex - In general, males have a greater chance of developing high blood pressure.
Controlling Blood Pressure
High blood pressure is a lifelong disease. It can be controlled but not cured. Once you begin to manage it and start a treatment program, maintaining a lower blood pressure is easier. By controlling your high blood pressure, you'll lower your risk for diseases and conditions such as kidney disease, stroke, heart attack, or heart failure.
- High blood pressure can be controlled through a variety of healthy lifestyle changes. A lot can be done to reduce high blood pressure.
- Maintain a healthy weight for your age.
- Reduce your salt intake and cut down on products high in sodium.
- Exercise regularly. Check with your doctor before starting any exercise program.
- Learn to manage your stress. Check with your doctor about stress management techniques that can work for you.
- Take your blood pressure medication according to your doctor's instructions.
- Have your blood pressure checked regularly.

Could Dietary Algae Affect Immunity and Viral Counts in People With HIV?
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
Drawing inferences from epidemiologic studies of HIV/AIDS as well well as cell culture and animal studies of HIV inhibition by algae, we propose algal consumption as one unifying characteristic of countries with anomalously low rates. HIV/AIDS incidence and prevalence in Eastern Asia (<1/10,000 adults in Japan and Korea), compared to Africa (≈1/10 adults) strongly suggest that differences in IV drug use and sexual behavior are insufficient to explain the 1000-fold variation. Even in Africa, AIDS/HIV rates vary. Spirulina is part of the daily diet for many people living in Chad, where prevalence of HIV has remained at less than 4% for more than 20 years. Average daily algae consumption in Asia and Africa ranges between 1 to 2 tablespoons (3 - 13 grams).
HIV viral load is the main indicator of infection, however CD4 helper cell counts are most predictive of morbidity and mortality.We hypothesized that the consumption of algae could be important in diminishing the risk of HIV infection, and subsequent progression, possibly by enhancing the immune response.

- Dietary algae influence on CD4 helper cells and HIV viral load [ Time Frame: Once a week for first 3 weeks, then once a month ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]The first 6 subjects participated for 3 weeks. After analysis of the results, it was determined that there were no side effects and some indication of benefit. The next 6 subjects participated for up to 14 months.
- Would seaweed (Undaria) or spirulina or a combination of the two algae have more benefit? [ Time Frame: Participants were randomized to one of 3 treatments. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The combination of the 2 algae appeared to have more benefit. However, the sample size was too small to make conclusions.

Detailed Description:
Twelve HIV+ patients not on antiretroviral therapy were clinically evaluated and enrolled in the three-week study. Subjects received 10 algae capsules/d. Laboratory tests of CD4 counts and HIV RNA were performed at baseline, week 1, week 2, and week 3, and then once a month. Six subjects continued for between 4 and 14 months. In addition to CD4 lymphocyte counts and viral loads, subjects were evaluated monthly for Complete Blood Counts (CBC), Liver profile, Basic Metabolic Panel, and some subjects were evaluated for thyroid function and cholesterol. All subjects completed standard HIV Quality of Life questionnaires at each clinic visit.

Wright to appeal 160-year sentence in child exploitation case
Wednesday, February 27, 2013
DOVER — Former bus driver John Allen Wright will be seeking to appeal his sentence, after being ordered on Friday to spend 160 years in prison for sexual exploitation and possessing child pornography.
In December 2011, Wright was indicted on two counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault, five counts of felonious sexual assault, four counts of simple assault, and four counts of indecent exposure, or lewdness. In January 2012, a grand jury indicted him on three additional aggravated felonious sexual assault charges.

Oh that's right on Jon's poisoning, isn't it. One forgets all the threads.
While Cersei didn't directly order Jaime to push Bran out the tower, she did indicate to him that he needed to do something about the situation, but she wasn't thrilled certainly with his solution, largely because Bran doesn't die.
Jaime has overall done more bad things than Cersei, but Jaime tends to be seen as less "evil" because he's going through remorse. While Cersei has felt remorse about a few minor things, she regards herself as justified in her actions, along the rationales that her father set for the family. For Jaime, it was less about justification than family and pride. Tyrion has also done evil things, but tends to be given a pass. He obviously has the most perspective on his own and others' actions and the most remorse. Cersei is currently in the series staging a comeback, but she's doing it by becoming the pawn of other forces, so we'll see what happens to her.
For me, there are many, many more much more evil characters in the story than Cersei. I wouldn't put her at the bottom, certainly, but in many ways she is not the badass she thinks herself to be, which is why she makes some huge mistakes.

Meet the Cancer Patient Navigators
Lung & Colorectal Patient Navigator
Cindy Davis, RN, CHPN
618.457.5200 ext. 67160 | firstname.lastname@example.com
Cindy decided to become a patient navigator after four years as a case manager at Memorial Hospital of Carbondale and ten years as a hospice nurse. Cindy believes her experience in nursing and hospice makes her well-suited as a navigator, where she empowers patients to make choices about their own plans of care.
"I tell my patients that my title is Cancer Patient Navigator, but my role is to be their partner, buddy, cheerleader, coach and fellow warrior. I support the decisions that they make when others may not. I answer questions that others may find too difficult to discuss. I am always honest, even if it hurts."
Breast Health Patient Navigator
Donna Crow, RN, CBCN
618.521.3915 | email@example.com
Donna Crow, RN, CBCN has been a nurse for over 20 years. But her real journey with breast cancer began when she herself was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma in 1999. During her recovery, she began organizing a monthly support meeting of cancer survivors called Women With Hope. Since those early days, she has made it her mission to combine her personal experience with her nursing background to help other women through their breast cancer journey. She has been cancer free since 2000, and is now in her sixth year as southern Illinois' Breast Health Patient Navigator.
"I understand first-hand the impact of a cancer diagnosis. There are a lot of thoughts and emotions that come with it. My goal for the women and men I come in contact with is to be there to help them through the journey. It can be long and bumpy."
Genitourinary, Head & Neck Cancer Navigator
Tonica Anderson, RN, OCN
618.457.5200 ext 67133 | email@example.com
Tonica has a diverse background in nursing, which includes several years in oncology, as well as an OCN certification. She previously worked in home health & hospice for several years, then in community outreach and education. She is a member of the Illinois Cancer Partnership Executive Committee and has worked at the SIH Cancer Institute since 2009, just after her mother was diagnosed with bladder cancer. All of these experiences led Tonica to choose to become a cancer patient navigator.
"I have seen firsthand how devastating hearing the words 'you have cancer' can be not only to the patient but also to the family. As a navigator, my goal is to make what is typically considered a really bad time in someone's life a little bit easier."

The Lord say to Noah: There's going to be a flood!
Reprinted with permission from Who's Who in the Hebrew Bible (The Jewish Publication Society).
Noah son of Lamech was a righteous man, a man "who walked with God (Genesis 6:9)." He was blameless in a generation whose wickedness and corruption were so great that God was sorry he had created man.
Build an Ark
One day, God said to Noah, "I have decided to put an end to all flesh, for the earth is filled with lawlessness because of them: I am about to destroy them with the earth. Make yourself an ark of gopher wood; make it an ark with compartments, and cover it inside and out with pitch. This is how you shall make it: the length of the ark shall be 300 cubits, its width 50 cubits, and its height 30 cubits. Make an opening for daylight in the ark, and terminate it within a cubit of the top. Put the entrance to the ark in its side; make it with bottom, second, and third decks (Genesis 6:13–17)."
"I will establish My covenant with you," He added, "and you shall enter the ark, with your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives. And of all that lives, of all flesh, you shall take two of each into the ark to keep alive with you; they shall be male and female. From birds of every kind, cattle of every kind, every kind of creeping thing on earth, two of each shall come to you to stay alive. For your part, take of everything that is eaten and store it away, to serve as food for you and for them (Genesis 6:18–21)."
Noah did as he was told and built the ark. When the ark was finished, God said to Noah, "Go into the ark, with all your household, for you alone have I found righteous before Me in this generation. Of every clean animal you shall take seven pairs, males and their mates, and of every animal that is not clean, two, a male and its mate; of the birds of the sky also, seven pairs, male and female, to keep seed alive upon all the earth. For in seven days' time I will make it rain upon the earth, forty days and forty nights, and I will blot out from the earth all existence that I created (Genesis 7:1–4)."
Noah, his family, and all the living things that he had chosen went into the ark. This happened on the 17th day of the second month, at a time when Noah was 600 years old. The rain continued for 40 days, and the waters increased and bore up the ark. Every living creature died, and even the highest mountains were submerged.
After the Flood
After 40 days, the rain stopped; and for 150 days, the waters receded continually, until the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat, in what is today Turkey. Then, 40 days later, Noah opened the window of the ark and sent forth a raven, which went to and fro.
