Bryonia - Other chapters & systems VertigoThe vertigo of Bryonia possesses some unique characteristics. During an episode of vertigo these patients may report the peculiar sensation that they feel as though they were sinking through the bed. This feeling is very charac¬teristic; they feel that they are passing right through the bed or sinking with the bed. Bryonia patients will feel better if they lie quietly in bed; if they attempt to sit up, they will suffer a surge of nausea and vertigo requiring them to lie back down. Whirling in the head if she sits up in bed, with nausea in the middle of the chest, as if faintness would ensue. Staggering and drunkenness as if the head were congested, with staggering and running backwards. Dizzy in the morning, and weak in the limbs the whole day; dizziness before a chill. Confusion, giddiness and cloudiness of the head with a sensation of looseness in the brain when stooping and when raising up the head or on the slightest motion. Vertigo felt in the occiput, followed by epistaxis or dizziness with epistaxis. Vertigo on turning or moving the head quickly or from inclining it forward; with suppressed eruptions. Vertigo on rising in the morning with weakness in the limbs, as if the head were turning in a circle or on rising from a chair when everything seems to turn in a circle, ameliorated after walking. Vertigo ameliorated while sitting and while lying with the head high.HeadThe important key-note is 'aggravation from motion', and this applies to the head most impressively. Headaches, for instance, can be aggravated by the slightest motion of the eyes; simply by turning the eyes ever so little, the headache can become excruciating.Bryonia headache patients prefer a semi-dark room. Were one to enter the room and turn on a light, their headache would be aggravated, and they would quite probably shout at the person in irritation. Just the small motion of the pupils of the eyes as they accommodate to the change in lighting can provoke an aggravation. There is another characteristic of Bryonia headaches; they are usually left-sided headaches and are typically situated over the left eye. Spigelia is another principal remedy for headaches in this location; Bryonia, however, is the only remedy corresponding to such headaches which then extend to the left occiput and subsequently to the entire head. Bursting, splitting or heavy crushing headache, as if everything would be pressed out of the head. Headache in the morning as soon as the eyes are open and moving the eyes is very painful with twitching and drawing in the malar and maxillary bones. Pain in the forehead, above the left eye, followed by a dull, pressive pain, going to the occiput and thence spreading to the whole body; after eating or moving quickly the pain is so severe that it seems a distinct pulsation in the head; worse while walking, ameliorated by pressure and lying on the left side. Headache after washing with cold water when the face was sweating; even opening the eyelids increases the headache. In the morning before breakfast, pain as if the head were compressed, with heaviness in it mingled with stitches; inability to raise the eyes on account of the pain, and if the patient stoops he cannot rise up. The headaches begin in the morning and cease towards the evening and occur after over-eating or drinking, with constipation or after annoyance from lifting; from suppression of the menses; after anger, rheumatic headache in cold, raw, wet seasons; from running, after scarlatina, in the summer or from exposure to the sun; from the cold, cold wind, or cold, damp weather; during pregnancy or after nursing a baby; from stepping too heavily; on ascending steps.

Pressure outward in the brain and digging with pressure towards the forehead and a desire to lie down. Rushing of blood to the head, with dark red colour to the face, but the patient feels generally chilly. On stooping there is a sensation as if everything were going to fall out through the forehead. The brain feels compressed inside the head which is made worse by sitting, worse raising the eyes and with an inability to rise. The headache may become seated in the occiput or be frontal and affect the frontal sinuses. The patient wakes in the morning confused, with boring and aching pain in the head as if he had been drinking heavily with a disinclination to rise.

Sour smelling, oily perspiration on the head, worse at night in bed. Pain is worse from motion, touch, heat, stooping or opening the eyes. Feels worse if he is disturbed in any way.

The Custom Builder Design Challenge
Picture your new clients: a professional couple who work outside the home. They have two young, active sons whose primary passions are sports and music. The boys' grandmother visits frequently, and it's likely that she'll move in at a later date. The parents often bring work home at night and sometimes on the weekends. They cook for the children whenever time allows and like to entertain informally.
But here's the kicker. Tired of living in the suburbs and commuting to their jobs in the city, the couple has purchased an urban infill site where they plan to build a home for their soon-to-be-extended family. There are no alleys in this particular neighborhood, so the garage has to be front-loaded. Due to municipal height restrictions, the home can't be more than two stories, and total living area cannot exceed 2,800 square feet.
That, in a nutshell, was the program for what will become
Entries were submitted from across the nation. Because there were no limitations on architectural style, some elevations reflected the vernacular of a local market while others were eclectic or downright suburban. Except for the second-place winner, the judges agreed there were no designs that really screamed "urban."
Nevertheless, three designs rose to the top for their successful integration of public and private spaces, functional outdoor areas and attention to detail.
Praised by the judges for its effective use of the site and strong spatial connections, this design features a formal living room off the entry. An island kitchen opens to the dining room, foyer and great room, creating a comfortable and inviting space for entertaining. From the front door, there is an unobstructed sight line to the great room, which has a fireplace and sliding doors to a large patio. Pocket doors can be used to close off the great room from the adjacent dining room if desired.
A second, smaller patio off the dining room, accessed by sliding doors, can be transformed into a garden where the family can enjoy dinner on a cool summer night.
The mudroom off the garage has benches and cubbies where the kids can stash their backpacks and the entire family can shed muddy shoes and wet coats.
Upstairs, each boy has his own bedroom and bathroom. Their parents are ensconced in a roomy master suite with a private balcony and fireplace. The second-floor laundry room is conveniently close to the bedrooms.
On the lower level is a suite for the boys' grandmother with a living room, kitchenette, bedroom and bathroom. Space is set aside for an elevator that can be installed later to help her get around the house safely and easily. Mom and Dad have a large home office next to the grandmother's living quarters, and the boys can listen to music or play instruments in the recreation room. The in-law suite can double as a guest suite until Grandma moves in permanently. A patio off the lower level provides a cozy outdoor retreat that one judge described as "English garden-like."
The design also calls for an optional bonus room in the attic that can serve as a guest bedroom, a study area or a place for the kids to kick back as they get older.
As one judge commented, this is the only design that seems truly urban. It provides the family with a variety of spaces that allow their use of the house to change along with their needs and lifestyle. For example, there are several exterior spaces that can be used for entertaining as well as a place for the boys to hang out with their friends.
Judges liked the ample private and exterior spaces and the sectional organization of the floor plan. Volume spaces, such as the first-floor gallery, connect the first and second floor and use natural light to give the home a bright and airy feel.
At one end of the kitchen island, countertop space was allocated for the kids to do homework while Mom or Dad cooks dinner. The kitchen is open to the great room, allowing guests to circulate and chat with their hosts. A large patio off the great room, accessed by sliding doors, extends the indoor areas for additional entertaining space. Family members can grab a quick meal at the breakfast bar or gather in the dining room when they have time.
The lower level has a suite for the boys' grandmother, including a living room, kitchenette, bedroom and bath. A second gallery gives some privacy to this area from the adjacent recreation room, where the boys can pursue their hobbies - and perhaps give up some of that space for Mom and Dad to use as a home office.
On the second floor is the master suite, children's bedrooms and laundry room. The kids have a private balcony as do the parents, and there are two additional balconies off the stair landing - more "public" areas where guests can relax over cocktails.
This design is noteworthy both for its green spaces and green-building concepts. To maximize usable outdoor area, the architect utilized the smallest footprint possible. Main living areas were placed on the second floor to muffle street noise and improve sight lines to the surrounding community.
The grandmother's suite is also on the second floor, at the rear of the home for greater security. A terrace links her quarters to the kitchen and great room and provides a private relaxation space. A residential elevator and 3-foot doors throughout the home gives her easy access to all areas.
The children's bedrooms are on the first floor with the master suite to the rear, adjacent to the pool and hot tub. The main entry is at the side of the house, defined by a large covered porch, and office space is tucked into an alcove off the foyer.
Mom and Dad have several places in which to entertain their guests: the porch, which is suitable for small gatherings; the family room, with its folding doors that open to a patio overlooking the pool; and the great room - ideal for inclement weather.
When the adults crave peace and quiet, they can retreat to the roof terrace with its retractable shade awning and lush garden plantings. The children have their own grassy play area behind the house, where they can wrestle or kick a soccer ball around without having to play in the street or trek to the nearest park.
Judges gave high marks for the green ideas incorporated in this home. In addition to the green roof terrace, there is "cool" metal roofing, cellulose wall insulation, insulated foundation walls, a stormwater retention system and energy-efficient mechanical systems. The stormwater cistern in the basement captures, stores and reuses rainwater to irrigate the green roof and other landscaping. Materials can be recycled from the existing structure on the site, and scrap generated by construction can be used in the new home, such as recycled glass countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms.
Paul Alessandro , senior principal of Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture (HPA) in Chicago, practiced for 15 years in Ohio before joining HPA in 1998. Alessandro's extensive experience with large-scale industrial, media and civic projects has enhanced HPA's abilities in the field of historic restoration and redevelopment.
Stuart Cohen , FAIA, principal of Stuart Cohen & Julie Hacker Architects in Evanston, Ill., worked in New York City for Richard Meier and Associates, Philip Johnson and John Burgee before opening his own practice in Chicago in 1973. His work has been published and exhibited nationally and internationally, receiving awards from Progressive Architecture magazine, Interiors magazine, the American Institute of Architects and the American Wood Council.
Julie Hacker became a partner in Stuart Cohen & Julie Hacker Architects in Evanston, Ill., in 1991. Before that, she was a project architect for the Chicago firm of Hammond Beeby and Babka, where she redesigned the outdoor play and animal petting areas at the Lincoln Park Zoo's Pritzker Family Children's Zoo in Chicago.
The challenge was to design an in-city, infill custom home for a family of four. The children are 7- and 9-year-old boys whose chief interests are sports and music. Their grandmother often stays with them for one or two months at a time. Both parents work outside of the home and regularly bring work home evenings and some weekends. They cook a moderate amount for a professional, two-income household and enjoy casual entertaining. The grandmother requires some assistance with stairs, and there's a possibility she may move in with the family at a later date, so the plans need to include an in-law suite.
The design could be of any architectural style. Living area could not exceed 2,800 square feet (excluding the basement and two-car, front-loading garage), and the home could not be more than two stories. The non-corner lot is 50-by-150 feet. Only original designs, never before constructed, were eligible.
Entries were judged on the quality and originality of the design, cost efficiency and how well the design met the requirements of the specified buyer segment.

Any chance for this ppa to host the latest released intel-vaapi driver 1.19, it has many improvements over the one thats included in Ubuntu 12.10, that one is version 1.17
I can easily backport 1.19 as soon as it's in Debian, currently still at 1.17: http://packages.debian.org/source/si...l-vaapi-driver
If you care you may ask the Debian maintainer to update to 1.19.
I gave it a try again. Unsuccess: with Radeon driver on HD5770 I got mixed results. While some loads are really faster, better and so on, in Xonotic it got horribly broken. While usual FPS is about matching with screen FPS, it can drop as bad as 2FPS on some scenes. Which makes xonotic really unplayable.
So I had to revert this driver to stock. Probably it haves something to do with these tests and these patches. Looks like I got hit by the very same problem during test run.
xswat ppa has the latest intel-vaapi driver version 1.19, would truly appreciate if this can be ported to the ppa as I would really not like to add another ppa related to video stack.

The monarch of this magic kingdom is no man but a mouse: Mickey Mouse. The Walt Disney Company is the world's largest media conglomerate, with assets encompassing movies, television, publishing, and theme parks. Its Disney/ABC Television Group includes the ABC television network and 10 broadcast stations, as well as a portfolio of cable networks including ABC Family, Disney Channel, and ESPN (80%-owned). Walt Disney Studios produces films through imprints Walt Disney Pictures, Disney Animation, and Pixar. It also owns Marvel Entertainment and Lucasfilm, two extremely successful film producers. In addition, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts runs its popular theme parks including Walt Disney World and Disneyland.
Geographic Reach
Disney has properties in the US and Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Latin America. The company gets about 75% of its revenue from the US and Canada.
Other international Disney park locations include a 40% interest in Euro Disney, which operates Disneyland Paris; the company also collects royalties and fees from Tokyo Disneyland Resort, operated by Oriental Land Co.
Sales and Marketing
Disney incurs significant marketing and advertising costs before and throughout the theatrical release of its films in an effort to generate publicity and generate consumer interest in the subsequent home entertainment market. The company's total annual advertising expenses are normally in the neighborhood of $2.5 billion.
Financial Performance
Disney's revenues increased by 7%, to $45.0 billion and net income increased 8%, to $6.136 billion in fiscal 2013 compared to the previous year. The growth was attributed to increases in revenue from the company's media networks segment, the parks and resorts segment, the interactive segment, and Disney's consumer products segment.
Net income increased by 8% during fiscal 2013, to $6.136 billion compared to $5.682 million in fiscal 2012. The spike was the result of an increase in revenue combined with a slight decrease in income tax expenses. Cash flow increased along with revenues.
Like other media conglomerates, the company depends on its wide array of entertainment offerings across its film, television, and theme parks divisions to generate revenue; it also earns money by distributing its content through multiple channels. A substantial part of Disney's business also comes from ancillary products, mostly aimed at children, created from its trove of characters and other intellectual property.
Mergers and Acquisitions
In 2014 Disney agreed to acquire Maker Studios, the leading network of online video content on YouTube. The acquisition will let Disney deliver content to consumers on whatever platform they prefer.
In December 2012 Disney sent shockwaves across the media world when it acquired Lucasfilm from George Lucas for more than $4 billion in order to add the Star Wars franchise to its already bursting portfolio of entertainment properties.

MaltodextrinWhere do you get maltodextrin? The health food shops around here don't stock it.
I found some brewer's sugar at Woolies. It has maltodextrin in it but they don't say how much. judged, insulted, gone
Re: MaltodextrinIs it the coopers sugar? I bought some to make my own sports drinks but lost the recipe. Would a home brew shop have it?
Re: MaltodextrinTry these guys: http://www.myopure.com.au/
I've used them before and their stuff is good, minus the fancy packaging with the exaggerated claims.
Re: MaltodextrinHave bought online from several suppliers and walk in from Ada Street, Taringa.
http://www.adastreet.com.au/content/cms ... TRIN/1710/ I have most of a large box left I bought about 4 mths ago from Ada Street. It's packaged in sealed 500g plastic bags, and am happy to sell you 1 or several if you don't want a lot. I paid around $12 /kg. I looked far and wide and never found pure maltodextrin from supermarkets, pharmacies, health food shops or home brew shops. Had to go online or to a supplement retailer. I messed around making my own gels, but eventually realized it's less hassle to buy 120ml flasks and stick cordial, salts, and maltodextrin in. No need to brew it up into a gel.
Re: Maltodextrindon't they cut speed with that stuff?
go ask your neighbourhood drug dealer
Re: MaltodextrinYou should be able to get it a any good home brew shop.
Edited for typo's
Re: Maltodextrin
Perfect. I can ditch the cattle prod. judged, insulted, gone
Re: Re: Maltodextrin
That's basically what I do, but chuck each into the water of the bidon. The local home brew shop sells bags of dried corn syrup labelled as 'brew improver' ... 2 kg for $20 IIRC. Beats $3 for about 20g in a commercial gel. Maltodextrin gives beers and stouts a creamier texture, apparently.
Re: MaltodextrinK-Mart (at least in Geelong) sells Coopers Maltodextrin in 500g boxes. I can't recall the exact price, but it's somewhere around the $5ish mark. Note that Coopers sells other brewing sugars as well - get the box that explicitly says "Maltodextrin" on it.

Re: MaltodextrinTry a supplament place too - where all teh bodybuilding stuff is.
Its typically marketed as "pure carbs", look at the label & it'll be high carbs & low sugars
Re: MaltodextrinCoopers brewing sugar is 80% dextrose and 20% maltodextrin. I got some from Woolworth's and used it for the first time last week to make some gel, and it was a bit sweet for my liking due to the high dextrose %. I used some of it on a sweltering ride last week and it seemed to do the trick though. I got a jar of rice syrup to try out with my next batch of gel.
In search of up - Hells 500
Re: MaltodextrinIf you're in or around North Sydney, then you could pick some up from Dave's Homebrew shop. I think they are 1kg packets. The booster and body pack are what you get at Woolies labelled Brew enhancer 1+2, which are a certain %age mix of different sugars. Dave has 100% Maltodextrin for $9.60/kg. Other homebrew shops might have it as well. The main ones that I know of in each captial city are:
Brisbane - Craftbrewer (don't have it on website, but should have it in store) Melbourne - Grain and Grape (don't have it on website, but should have it in store) Adelaide - Beer Belly (have it for $6.50/kg) Perth - Gryphon Brewing (don't have it on website, but should have it in store) There's many more different stores, but they are the main ones that I know of.
Re: Maltodextrinebay!
Mr Vitamins is where i get mine - they have an online shop mr Supplements: http://www.mrsupplement.com.au/nhs-maltodextrin http://www.bulkpowders.com.au/#/maltode ... 4540564709 Just google Maltodextrin & there'll be more than a few answers
Re: Maltodextrinhow come you want it?
If you can't explain it simply, then you don't understand it well enough.
Re: Maltodextrin
Thanks for the tip PawPaw. I dropped in to Ada St. It's pretty handy. I bought some maltodextrin and some Arginine from them on the strength of a trial I read about a while ago. judged, insulted, gone
Re: Maltodextrin
Fuel. It's starch - relatively low GI sugar. I put it in my biddens for rides over 50 km along with other stuff. judged, insulted, gone
Re: Re: Maltodextrin
Yep, high GI Gatorade style powder and low GI maltodextrin give your bidon most of what a gel will. And if you crush up a No-Doze in a mortar and pestle ... Last edited by clackers on Mon Jan 09, 2012 8:44 pm, edited 1 time in total.
Re: MaltodextrinI've got a box of no-doz in the freezer, though prefer a double shot piccolo pre-race.
Just remember a high dose of it can kill ya I also add BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine, valine)and beta alanine to my mix.
Re: MaltodextrinAny homebrew shop will have maltodextrin, also known as corn syrup, I use it all the time for my home brew.
Last time I checked, 2015 Distance: 1284km Time: 59hr Rides: 47

Stephen from Professional Whey is where I get all my supplements for riding and when i was doing serious gym work - simple, pure, no artifical junk and good value. He will even answer the phone and have a chat about supplements if you call him up - so not just a faceless online shop.

Re: Maltodextrin
When I researched this and spoke to several local home brew shops, I was told there is a difference between corn syrup and maltodextrin. The former has shorter dextrose chains with a dextrose equivalent of >= 20 DE. The latter has longer chains with DE between 5 and 20. These are absorbed more slowly by the gut than the shorter corn syrup chains, which is the only reason to take maltodetrin. None of the home brew shops had 100% pure maltodextrin. They all had shorter chain sugars added.
Re: Maltodextrin
Interesting, it may be 100% maltodextrin though, just not the sort your after, it looks like you can get maltodextrin from other things besides corn, it just so happens home brew uses a corn based maltodextrin. I used to use Maxim energy powder that claims to be 96% maltodextrin. Last time I checked, 2015 Distance: 1284km Time: 59hr Rides: 47
Re: Re: Maltodextrin
Just wondering how much you put in ??? The Gatorate poweder is usually about 2 scoops per biddon, Do you replace 1 scoop with maltodextrin or add 2 scoops ontop of the gatorade ???? Thanks Great Jens Voigt Quotes:
"I get paid to hurt other people, how good is that?" "Shut up legs"
Re: Maltodextrin^^^ I don't have any recommendation. I've been using 2 desert spoons of maltodextrin in addition to anything else and that seems to work. It disappears in plain water and is almost tasteless.

Capital Golf in BR Posted by contraryman on 2/27 at 6:22 pm Saw they will be in the old Blockbuster on Seigen. Anyone know the story? If they have a good store and better service than EW they should do well.Reply Back to Top |

Posted by Davie Crocket on 2/27 at 8:25 pm to iheartlsu I'm friends with the owner and his family and I've seen the shite they're ordering and the master plan for the building/ business plan. It's going to be the top golf store in BR. Reply Back to Top |

Posted by unbeWEAVEable on 2/27 at 9:07 pm to contraryman I could see that. Not a lot of people are happy with EW, and many who hated them went to Golf Etc. off of Essen where the Manager was a fricking tard. If this place is managed well, it will do a lot better than people think. Plus, many of the golfers who spend money on the sport are on the Seigan side of town anyway. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by hehateme2285 on 2/27 at 9:13 pm to TigerBait2008 quote: Explain to me what I said was dumb? Unless you have name recognition and internet orders (i.e. Golfsmith, Golf Galaxy, Lumpy's), it's a terrible investment (And even they are closing stores). People try opening franchises of Golf Etc. all the time. They all fail. And the cost and overhead of being able to secure contracts with someone like Titleist is not fun, because they are very specific if you're able to get a deal. Or if you want to try and defend Louisiana as a good golf market to me, go ahead and try that out. This post was edited on 2/27 at 9:18 pm Reply Back to Top |

Posted by theBeard on 2/28 at 7:08 am to LSUAlum2001 Their is no good club repair guy anymore. Blain Patin was the only one I would let touch my clubs. I have started my own setup in FL and plan on taking it back to BR in a couple years. I landed a few mini tour players and now they wont let anyone else work on their stuff. A good custom fitter is a huge asset. Now for the retail side - There are so many ways to save, box store are really struggling. Discount Dans is the best place to buy clubs. Way less than any other shops with no tax or shipping. Items come from manufacturer. Golfers BR need shop with an outdoor range. This way you can hit shots and actually see the flight. Trackman is a must for BR also. This post was edited on 2/28 at 7:16 am Reply Back to Top |

Posted by theBeard on 2/28 at 7:20 am to unbeWEAVEable quote: Box stores thrive on the average golfer. If you really want to give yourself the best chance of playing well you do not walk into a box store and buy something. If you care about golf you work with an instructor and a fitter to have a set built just for you. This post was edited on 2/28 at 7:21 am Reply Back to Top |
quote: True...but most "golfers" who do care that much can't afford to spend $2000+ on a set by getting fitted. The average golfer wants to spend around $300-$500 for a set that will last them 3 years then spend a little extra to get them fitted to their set! Reply Back to Top |

NOTES: Directional route-miles is the mileage in each direction over which public transportation vehicles travel while in revenue service. Directional route-miles are a measure of the facility or roadway, not the service carried on the facility such as the number of routes or vehicle-miles. Directional route-miles are computed with regard to direction of service, but without regard to the number of traffic lanes or rail tracks existing in the right-of-way. Exclusive right-of-way refers to lanes reserved at all times for transit use and other high occupancy vehicles (HOVs). Controlled right-of-way refers to lanes restricted for at least a portion of the day for use by transit vehicles and other HOVs. Mixed right-of-way refers to lanes used for general automobile traffic.
Directly operated transit is service provided by a public transit agency using its own employees to operate transit vehicles. Transit service purchased under contract by a public transit agency is not considered directly operated transit.

How About These White Sox…and Tommy Lasorda's Big Mistake
Jake Peavy did his best Philip Humber imitation, pitching a masterful three-hit, complete game shutout. The back-to-normal Adam Dunn and red-hot Paul Konerko hit back-to-back homers in the fourth inning, giving Peavy all the support he needed to offset the outstanding outing by the A's Bartolo Colon. And, in the end, the Sox went on to win their fourth straight with a 4-0 victory last night in Oakland.
Furthermore, take a look at the standings this morning. The only American League team with a better record is Texas at 13-4. Right behind are the Sox and Tigers tied for the A.L. Central lead at 10-6 and the Yankees and Blue Jays knotted up for the A.L. East lead with the same record. Everyone else is behind these five leaders.
I know it's early, but this is a lot of fun and I'm going to enjoy it.
Konerko on verge of 400th homer
Konerko's homer last night was the 399th of his career, tying him for 48th place in major league history with Al Kaline and Andres Galarraga. One more and he joins the "400" club.
Paulie's standing as one of the game's Top 50 home run hitters brings to mind Tommy Lasorda's comment when the Dodgers traded Konerko to Cincinnati for reliever Jeff Shaw (the Sox acquired PK from the Reds for Mike Cameron). The Hall of Fame manager said, and I paraphrase, that he was comfortable making the deal because he didn't see Konerko as a 20-homer guy in the major leagues.
As wrong as Lasorda was in judging Konerko's home run prowess, he was right about one thing. Paulie isn't a 20-homer slugger. From 1999-2011 in a White Sox uniform, No. 14 averaged 30 homers. He's had 40 or more twice, 30 or more five times and 20 or more on five occasions.
So much for Lasorda as a talent evaluator.
