Tales from the pit
I first heard Slayer in 1998. I was 11 at the time. My older brother just bought the Diabolus In Musica tape. I'll probably make a pussy out of myself but at first I was so fucking afraid of this whiteheaded motherfucker on the cover that I didn't want to get anywhere near this tape. But finally curiosity won. I've put the tape in, pressed play and I waited. It was on side A and the first track was Bitter Peace. At first it was normal. Some guitars, some drums. Just music. But after about 1,5 minutes my head fucking split open! I didn't knew what it was and I didn't knew what to make of it. I just knew that i had a sudden urge to destroy sometihng! It was amazing! I never felt this way in my life before. I went on through the whole album but none of the songs gave me so much aggressive emotions as track number one. Except Point and Scrum. Well, back then one or two amazing tracks on an album was to little to want to get to know its performer. So I just listened to Bitter Peace and then rewinded. After about a year I got my hands on Reign In Blood by accident. It was a cd this time. To be honest I wasn't expecting much. I just hoped there would be at least one track that will give me this fucking insane maniac urge to destroy as it was with Bitter Peace. Well I didn't have to wait long. Toms' "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!" just crushed my fucking balls. I had to stand up cause the energy building up inside me would fucking implode. After less than 30 minutes I was ready to rip my parents' house to shreds. This album had such a huge impact on me. That day my life changed. I had to get more of Slayer, I had to get more of thrash. I had to grow long hair, I had to get a leather jacket, I had to get a bullet belt. I had to have it all to get this you-don't-want-to fuck-with-me-you-fucking-cunt look just like the guys from the pictures in the booklet. I had to start playing guitar so I could unleash my energy and I just had to have more music! Nothing was the same after that day. Now you ask : "What's his fucking point?" Well my fucking point is that Bitter Peace (also music for Point and Scrum) and most of RIB was written or co-written by Jeff. So conlcuding I could easily say that Jeff influenced my life way more than 9/10 of the people I personally know/knew. When I heard about his death I felt like I lost someone from my closest family. So to end this emotional shit I just wanted to say: Thank you Jeff Hanneman. Thank you for letting me be proud of who I was and who I still am. Thank you for all the friends I made, all the chicks I laid and all the fucking crazy drunk-as-fuck nights I ever had and still gonna have in the future. I'm 100% positive it wouldn't be the same without your music. Rest in peace brother. You will always be remembered and you will always be respected. Jeff Hanneman is still reigning!!!!!!!!!!!! \m/
Comments for this Tales from the pit
Hanneman isn't only the brother of Slayer, Jeff is the brother of us, Slayer's fans.
May he rest in peace.
I remember seeing Slayer in Alaska years ago. I was up against the gate. I missed catching two picks. At the end of war ensemble Jeff reached out and gave me the one he was using. How many dudes do that!? You will be missed Jeff!!!
JEFF SURELY WAS ONE OF A KIND.I ALWAYS STOOD STAGE LEFT SO I WOULD BE IN FRONT OF JEFF AT EVERY SHOW.ON THE "STILL REIGNING" TOUR I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE JEFF GIVE ME ONE OF HIS INFAMOUS HEINEKEN "HANNEMAN" PICKS AND HE ALSO GAVE ME TOM'S SETLIST FROM THE SHOW.A SET LIST WITH THE FULL "REIGN IN BLOOD" ALBUM ON IT!!!!!! I JUST COULDN'T BELEIVE HE HAD GIVEN ME ONE OF HIS PICKS LET ALONE THE SET LIST FROM PROABLY ONE OF THE BEST SLAYER SHOWS I'VE EVER SEEN.AND I'VE BEEN SEEING THEM IN CONCERT SINCE I WAS 14,& NOW IM 39!!!!!! "SOUTH OF HEAVEN" WAS THE FIRST TIME SEEING THEM LIVE, THEY OPENED FOR "JUDAS PRIEST"! IN THAT TIME I HAVE ONLY MISSED SEEING SLAYER TWICE,ONCE WHEN THEY REPLACED DAVE LOMBARDO THE FIRST TIME WITH PAUL BOSTAF(I think that's his name) AND THE OTHER TIME WAS WHEN THEY PLAYED FOR FREE AT CLUB BRICKS IN SALT LAKE CITY. FOUND OUT ABOUT IT TOO LATE AND COULDN'T GO BECAUSE "LAMB OF GOD" WAS IN TOWN THAT NIGHT AND I WAS TAKING MY THEN 10 YEAR OLD SON TO HIS FIRST SHOW!!! HE'S NOW 17! BUT AGAIN JEFF ALSO INSPIRED ME TO PLAY NOT GUITAR BUT BASS. BECAUSE THE WAY I SAW HIM PLAY I DIDN'T THINK I COULD BE AS GOOD,SO I PICKED UP THE BASS AND HAVEN'T PUT IT DOWN FOR THE LAST 25YEARS NOW.THEY WAY HE WROTE ALSO INSPIRED ME TO WRITE MY OWN SHIT.THANK YOU JEFF!!!!!! MAY YOU REST IN PEACE!!!!!! YOU ARE LOVED AND WILL BE MISSED GREATLY.THANK YOU FOR BEING AN INSPIRATION I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!!!! AND FUCK YOU KERRY I THINK HE HAD HEARD WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT YOU NOT CARING IF HE CAME BACK TO SLAYER OR NOT (more than likely throwing him into a depression and he drank himself to death. You might not have known how bad his liver was but I'll bet he did)I HOPE YOUR COMMENT HAUNTS YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR DAYS. STILL LOVE YA BUT YOU NEED TO REALLY CHECK YOUR EGO IT ISN'T HELPING YOU IN ANY WAY WHAT SO EVER!!!!!! MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT TO ALL IN SLAYER, PAST,PRESENT AND FUTURE IF THERE IS ONE!!!!!!
guitar god
Jeffs solos is what inspired me to play guitar. To this day my all time favorite solo is jeffs solo on spirit in black, the live version on decade of aggression. I still get chills when I hear it. I still cant believe he's gone. I was in the shower listening to coast to coast am, when George noory broke the news. I couldn't believe it, I screamed to my wife to tell her (she's a slayer fan) and we both stood in the bathroom speechless. The next day when I woke up I guess it really started sinking in. Not to sound like a bitch but I started tearing up, as if I lost a family member or someone close. The power of someone's music and influence can be very strong, even after years and years of listening to the same records. I first heard slayer when my cousin came over with a case of beer and the Live Intrusion vhs tape. I ended up with the tape and over time I literally wore it out from watching and rewinding so many times until it wouldn't play anymore. Anyway, Jeff Hanneman will always be a hero and a guitar god in my book. Thank you Jeff for all your music and dedication over the years, you changed my life. Rest in Peace
SLAYER live in Piraeus port, , dock 3, Greece , 12 july 1996
At the 12 of july 1996, the eternal kings of thrash, came for the first time , in my country, Greece. I was only 15.5 years old, and i had never seen slayer , live in a concert. I had only read in metal magazines , about the extreme pits, every time slayer, was giving a gig!! The big day had come. I was nervous , about , what i will meet, but of course really happy, seeing my favorite band live , for the first time in my life. Me and my friend nicos,took the train, and went to the place that the concert took place. The place was , the port of Piraeus , the biggest port of the country, in a abandoned dock of the port, dock 3 .The festival was called:" rock of gods festival", with the kings of thrash , of course headliners and bands such as , saxon , blind guardian, nightfall , to support the show. Saxon was the last group, that played before slayer. They ended their show, some minutes before eleven o'clock. We all enjoyed the other bands, but most of the people had come to see slayer, of course me too. The big time had come. the next band is...SLAYER. Me and my friend manage to creep, at about the fifth row in the crowd. we where just kids , and most of the people there, where taller , bigger and stronger, than us, but we did not care. We wanted to see slayer, closer as we could!!! EXACTLY AT MIDNIGHT, SLAYER CAME OUT WITH SOUTH OF HEAVEN. Total chaos. Eight thousand people where moshing and headbanging like hell !!! I was down , with hundreds of people above me. I was thinking , that i could not stand up. Suddenly someone grabbed me from my arm. What are you doing here kid??? You are too small , for a slayer pit , he told me!!! I thanked him , for helping me , and i started headbanging ,immediately!!! The show , was amazing. SLAYER played all my favorite songs, like, war ensemble, angel of death , hell awaits and many more. I will never forget this day, and i consider it , as , one of best days of my life!!!
Almost since then, i am looking for the non-pro made bootleg of the concert, but with not result. If someone has it or can find it, please send me a message here, to trade it. thanks.... SLAYER SLAYER SLAYER SLAYER !!!
I remember my first slayer
I remember my first slayer concert for seasons in the abyss in 1992 oakland, ca with testament. I have never been to a show with so much pit action. It was like a feeding frenzy so intense so immense. I was determined to be a part of it at 5feet nothing i was immediately consumed by the torrent mass of people. I was pulled out twice by the containment wall of people but inevitably ended up jumping baack in dodging flying bodies. What a rush!!
Once i fell i thought i would be crushed but an arm out of the wall reached through the mayhem plucked me from the floor pulled me out and put me aside. I was exhausted and bruised but unhurt. Everyone was there to be a part of the music whether it was thrashing in the pit or singing along from the sides i wont ever forget that show.
My fist child was named after tom and i was so sad to hear of jeff my condolences to his family and friends and i will say thanks for the music and the memories!
May he RIP : Jeff Hanneman : I live in India, & from where i come from, this kind of music is a taboo, but i never cared a damm about that, & SLAYER was one of the inspritional band for me to join for Music class, i use to play guitar lead, watched, downloaded every fukin album, vids, of slayer & use to try to play like Jeff..i could never, all i want to say is this has been a biggest saddest news i heard of 2013, last year my would be bro in law died because of liver problem i.e. cirohosis, he was an alchoholic. Fuck the alchohol guys, leave it, quit now, anyway Jeff was & will be forever one of a kind, so along as when some around the world discovers trash metal, they will take the name of Slayer with respect, & Jeff as the crown jewe of Slayer...May he rest in peace, \m/..

Jeff Hanneman
Hi everyone !
So sad !! i live in France and i was choked by this terrible news!! Jeff was my favorite guitar player !! met him many times...
one day i was at a show in France and i sneaked in their backstage (sorry about that)
it was 15 years ago ...
Jeff was in the dressing room and i asked him to sign my records, he agreed and did not even asked why i was there without a pass, he was like that!!
He was reading his book and he had a bucket full of heineken beer next to him; all the band was there too..
he signed 20 records and he was so kind in person!
i was impressed by Jeff (the guitar player of Slayer on stage and the good person he was off stage )
I will miss him very much!!
Thank you all Thank you Slayer !!
Sorry but i dont have the right words ......

Surely the reason "the average American citizen needs an assault weapon" is to protect themselves against other people with assault weapons.
I'm no fan of guns, but unless people on both side actually engage with the arguments of the other, we're all going nowhere.
What if they're being assaulted with a mob? Who are you to dermine any one else's security needs? Surely nobody needs a small army to protect themselves... Yet the President and his wife would go screaming mad if you took away the secret service. Surely nobody needs a 10 acre compound on a Bahamian island for security... But apparently mayor Bloomberg of NYC does...
Well, President Kennedy's well armed Secret Service didn't protect him from getting shot.
No, sir.
No guns, no shooting.Oh, yes, there will always be the illegals, which dodge the prohibition anyway, but the more the trade is restricted (actually the possession) for weapons, the less of such problems will arise.
Plus, the problem with the law-abiding nut with rifles and other such weapons is that he is always tempted to shoot first, just in case (Trayvon Martin / Zimmermann event), and there is no remedy: No recovering from death.
Also, the law-abiding nut of guns can become the contrary (remember Michael Douglas' "Falling down"?).
Therefore, back to square one: No guns, no massacres -at best, guns should be one-shot only: No need for machine guns to "rock-and-roll" with the proper butt, with which the legal limit for SEMIautomatic weapons is made a -legal as well- mockery.
"Who are you to dermine any one else's security needs?"
Someone who doesn't feel inclined to put up with people who are sure the zombie apocalypse, or a full scale assault on their house by an entire division of the Iranian National Guard, or some other suitably glamorous assault, is about to break out and they should be allowed the extensive weaponry necessary to fight any fantasy scenario they can concoct, no matter the risk to bystanders?
This is just a familiar variation on the maxim that your right to wave your arms stops at everyone around you's nose.
Yes but how do you get back to square one (ie no guns) from here?
Good policy is not just about identifying the ideal stats of afairs -- it is about figuring out how to get from where we are to somewhere better.
Happy New Year!
Anyone who thinks no guns = no massacres needs to do a little research. Weapons like knives and machetes have been used in plenty of massacres in other countries.
This deals with the US situation, not elsewhere, in the first place.
I know of no massacre carried out in the US WITHOUT guns. What is more, I am quite convinced that Lanza (and the others, but keep it at the last but one massacre) would:
1) Have NOT had the nerve to hack kids to pieces with an axe (or stab them REPEATEDLY) while looking at their eyes (which he would have had to do: Maximum arm's length distance) for up to 20.
2) Have NOT resisted to more than one adult, even with naked hands but fighting for dear life.
3) In NO case could he "dispatch" 28 people, stabbing them over two times each before he had been reduced (and most probably lynched) on the spot
4) He would NOT have had the "courage" of committing suicide with a knife.
Therefore, the problem is that (1) he had various "semiautomatic" weapons (which might be fully automatic if he had the proper "rock-and-roll" butt, which is, by the way, perfectly legal, thus making a mockery of the prohibition on fully automatic ones).
2. Pulling the trigger is much easier, and demands far less stamina than wielding a knife or an axe -and it makes much easier to commit suicide.
As for the latest one (the mad fool who, in NY state, set fire to a number of houses with the purpose of attracting the firefighters and then shooting them) I see no way for him to carry out the deed other than with a rifle.
The worst school massacre in US history took place without guns. The guy used explosives.
Also, the fact that it occurs proves that limiting guns does not stop massacres. Funny how people want to compare the US to other countries when it comes to gun crime, but as soon as we talk about non-gun crime, suddenly we need to limit the discussion to the US only.
BTW, those are all your opinions only. You say he would have lacked the nerve to kill people up close. That's strange, because he shot them at point blank range. He was plenty close enough to see their faces and their eyes and the damage being inflicted.
Yes, pulling a trigger is less effort, but it doesn't take that much for a knife or other sharp object to penetrate the human body. People do it with blunter objects like screwdrivers.
Yes, he could have potentially dispatched the same number of people. Mass stabbings do happen. All it takes is a captive audience, and he had that.
As for suicide, there are a lot of ways to commit suicide. He could just as easily have poisoned himself at the end or slit his wrists or committed suicide by cop.
And you again demonstrate your ignorance of weapons. Despite what advertisements would have you believe, the "rock-and-roll" kit does not actually make a weapon fully automatic. If anything, that would have made him less effective as a gun is nearly impossible to aim and control while using it, and the reason it is legal is that the weapon is actually still semi-automatic (you can get the same rate of fire just by pulling the trigger really fast).
OK, sir. You know better -a pity a 155 mm. howitzer does not fit into a pocket. That is REAL firepower.
Nobody will get an answer from Lanza about whether he would have had the stamina to commit harakiri. Yes, there are a lot of ways to commit suicide.
The FACT is that they were committed with firearms. Yes, POTENTIALLY he could also have had a SINGLE SHOT weapon, and done at leisure.
I know of no semiautomatic knife (or axe, or screwdriver, hammer, you-name-it) that reloads and stands ready to stab again and then you pull something and here it goes, hits (and, unfortunately for the designer in this case, gets back ready to strike again?).
Ah, you were there and saw it all happening. Point-blank. He actually pushed the muzzle on the bodies?, or fired ONLY fully aimed shots? or he just sprayed around -no way of getting away if inside a small closed room anyway.
You also know the ratio rounds that scored / rounds expended?. Because the way you say it, the ratio must be 1:1, and with 30 rounds to a clip, he should have left a few rounds unexpended in the second magazine (2 x 28)+1 for himself? (trigger-happy he may have been, but I believe you will concur with me that he didn't use more than one for himself?).
Oh, and what kind of blade weapon would the other one, the one who dispatched a few firefighters, might have used?.
"a pity a 155 mm. howitzer does not fit into a pocket. That is REAL firepower."
Well that's a great strawman since I never advocated private possession of a 155mm howitzer or the rounds for it.
"I know of no semiautomatic knife"
I was referring to semi-automatic firearms. They come in varieties other than assault weapons, in case you didn't know. Like pretty much most modern firearms are semi-auto. All it means is each time you pull the trigger, a round fires and a new one is chambered ready for the next trigger pull.
"Ah, you were there and saw it all happening. Point-blank. He actually pushed the muzzle on the bodies?, or fired ONLY fully aimed shots? or he just sprayed around -no way of getting away if inside a small closed room anyway."
I'm going off of what I've read. If you are shooting inside a building, especially if it's inside a room, you're pretty darn close, even if it was done from the doorway. The only people that believe in the effectiveness of spraying from the hip are idiots that get all their information from Hollywood and have never fired a real gun in their life.
"You also know the ratio rounds that scored / rounds expended?"
What does that have to do with anything I said?
"Oh, and what kind of blade weapon would the other one, the one who dispatched a few firefighters, might have used?."
Well he could have run up to firefighters and stabbed them. Or used explosives. Or a bow/crossbow. Or used a projectile knife.
Excuse me, sir
I humbly yield to your infinite knowledge of both firearms and weapons -and yes, spraying from the hip is an idea which can only visit an idiot who only sees Hollywood products. Since you seem to know that this is where I gather my information for that, it means that I am an idiot in your view. Thanks a lot.
May I humbly explain that, in an idiot's view, whether he shot AIMED shots or not is best demonstrated by the ratio rounds expended / rounds fired?. This is pure arithmetic, so even an idiot about firearms can jump to conclusions about the matter?. And, yes, it was MY question for YOU to answer. I know you had not said anything about it. And have not answered either.
Would you concede in your infinite knowledge about the matter that this is a reasonably good indicator about whether he was firing aimed shots or not?. Because I see no other OBJECTIVE way of ascertaining it. This being a "semiautomatic" weapon, he could not spray from the hip
Run up to the firefighters and stab them? I believe these are not kids, and to be in splendid physical shape, plus well under 60 -the culprit was 64. Used a longbow? You know? these are not as easy to get hold of, neither as easy to use. (not a semiautomatic longbow, by the way?) used explosives?, like, throwing hand grenades or dynamite sticks? where from? and semiautomatically?. No, sir. The guy would not have done that, and you know it.
And Lanza would not either. That you like to play with guns is one thing. That these massacres could have been averted if the culprits had had no guns is another.
And in any case, if the only available guns were single-shot ones, at the very least there would have been quite less dead.
May I humbly explain that you clearly have no idea what you are talking about?
Shot ratios are not indicative of aiming. There are soldiers in the Army who have trouble hitting 1 out of 2 shots fired at stationary targets. From what I understand, victims had multiple wounds. Just going off of basic probabilities (the total area a bullet could travel in within a classroom vs the amount of space occupied by human bodies and the decreased probabilities of hitting those same bodies multiple times by pure chance), either he was aiming or the media (which has hyped up or flat out lied about every other aspect of this incident) was very close-mouthed about the vast amount of ammo that had to have been expended.
As for stabbing, again you show a great deal of ignorance about the subject. There are mass stabbings. Running away doesn't happen as often as you think, especially when people are not expecting an attack or dealing with the initial confusion after an attack begins. You also aren't going to run very fast if you are carrying/wearing a lot of gear.
What makes you think it is not easy to get ahold of a bow or crossbow? I see them all the time. You go to a sporting store and buy one. Easier to get than a gun and they go through body armor (unless using plates), and while not "semiauto" a bow would have a decent enough rate of fire to kill off a few people easily enough.
As for explosives, who said hand grenades? You can make explosives at home with commonly found components. You don't need to buy a grenade when you can make one by following instructions off the internet. Or you could plant explosives and detonate them. Did you know the worst school massacre in US history was committed with explosives?
I'm not sure what your obsession with semiautomatic weapons is. Of course I don't mean semi-automatic explosives. But then again, if you're using explosives you don't need semi-automatic. One or two used correctly will do plenty of damage.
These specific massacres may or may not have been averted, but a quick look at other countries and other incidents shows that massacres do occur in the absence of guns.

Useful for BTRFS or did they come up with their own solution?
Phoronix: Google Open-Sources C++ B-Tree Containers Library
Google has open-sourced C++ B-Tree, their C++ template library for implementing B-tree containers with similar interfaces to the standard STL map/set/multimap/multiset containers...
Useful for BTRFS or did they come up with their own solution?
Comparing this to STL maps is silly. It's like the language shootout where someone brags how their language is only 2x as slow when their code is the best the language can do while C++ has both hands tied behind its back and a leg cut off. There's a reason we don't use STL containers in games. The use cases their design is based on (holding large, expensive to copy objects) doesn't exist in the real world that I can tell. Especially now that we have move semantics. STL unordered_map for instance is one of the worst hash table implementations, because they assume you can't afford to move elements. A sane open-addressing implementation can be two orders of magnitude faster in real work loads for my tests.
Showing Google's B-tree results against the STL being faster is like saying water is wet. No shit, Sherlock.

We haven't talked much about specific funding and staffing levels (and don't plan to do that in the future either), but "paying one developer" to work on open source drivers is pretty far from the truth. We funded a lot of the radeonhd work, and we currently have three in-house developers working on open source drivers (Alex, Richard, Cooper) in addition to the outside development community.
We started ramping up open source efforts a year or so ago, which helped to get solid open source driver support in place for these generations of hardware.

Dust, cats, peanuts, cockroaches. An odd grouping, but one with a common thread: allergies — a major cause of illness in the United States. Up to 50 million Americans, including millions of kids, have some type of allergy. In fact, allergies account for the loss of an estimated 2 million schooldays per year.
An allergy is an overreaction of the immune system to a substance that's harmless to most people. But in someone with an allergy, the body's immune system treats the substance (called an allergen) as an invader and reacts inappropriately, resulting in symptoms that can be anywhere from annoying to possibly harmful to the person.
In an attempt to protect the body, the immune system of the allergic person produces antibodies called immunoglobulin E (IgE). Those antibodies then cause mast cells and basophils (allergy cells in the body) to release chemicals, including histamine, into the bloodstream to defend against the allergen "invader."
It's the release of these chemicals that causes allergic reactions, affecting a person's eyes, nose, throat, lungs, skin, or gastrointestinal tract as the body attempts to rid itself of the invading allergen. Future exposure to that same allergen (things like nuts or pollen that you can be allergic to) will trigger this allergic response again. This means every time the person eats that particular food or is exposed to that particular allergen, he or she will have an allergic reaction.
The tendency to develop allergies is often hereditary, which means it can be passed down through your genes. However, just because you, your partner, or one of your children might have allergies doesn't mean that all of your kids will definitely get them, too. And someone usually doesn't inherit a particular allergy, just the likelihood of having allergies.
But a few kids have allergies even if no family member is allergic. A child who is allergic to one substance is likely to be allergic to others as well.
Some of the most common things people are allergic to are airborne (carried through the air):
The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology estimates that up to 2 million, or 8%, of kids in the United States are affected by food allergies, and that eight foods account for most of those food allergy reactions in kids: eggs, fish, milk, peanuts, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.
Some kids also have what are called cross-reactions. For example, kids who are allergic to birch pollen might have reactions when they eat an apple because that apple is made up of a protein similar to one in the pollen. Another example is that kids who are allergic to latex (as in gloves or certain types of hospital equipment) are more likely to be allergic to kiwifruit, water chestnuts, or bananas.
The type and severity of allergy symptoms vary from allergy to allergy and child to child. Allergies may show up as itchy eyes or an itchy nose, sneezing, nasal congestion, throat tightness, trouble breathing, and even shock (faintness or passing out).
Symptoms can range from minor or major seasonal annoyances (for example, from pollen or certain molds) to year-round problems (from allergens like dust mites or food). Allergies to dust mites are common to the eastern parts of the United States, but not in areas of high-altitude and low humidity (for example, like Colorado).
Because different allergens are more prevalent in different parts of the country and the world, allergy symptoms can also vary, depending on where you live. For example, peanut allergy is unknown in Scandinavia, where they don't eat peanuts, but is common in the United States, where peanuts are not only a popular food, but are also found in many of the things we eat.
Airborne allergens can cause something known as allergic rhinitis, which occurs in about 15% to 20% of Americans. It develops by 10 years of age and reaches its peak in the early twenties, with symptoms often disappearing between the ages of 40 and 60.
Symptoms can include:
These symptoms are often accompanied by itchy, watery, and/or red eyes, which is called allergic conjunctivitis. (When dark circles are present around the eyes, they're called allergic "shiners.") Those who react to airborne allergens usually have allergic rhinitis and/or allergic conjunctivitis. If a person has wheezing and shortness of breath, the allergy may have progressed to become asthma.
The severity of food allergy symptoms and when they develop depends on:
Symptoms of food allergies can include:
Being stung by an insect that a child is allergic to may cause some of these symptoms:
In rare instances, if the sensitivity to an allergen is extreme, a child may experience anaphylaxis (or anaphylactic shock) — a sudden, severe allergic reaction involving various systems in the body (such as the skin, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and cardiovascular system).
Severe symptoms or reactions to any allergen, from certain foods to insect bites, require immediate medical attention and can include:
Anaphylaxis can happen just seconds after being exposed to a triggering substance or can be delayed for up to 2 hours if the reaction is from a food. It can involve various areas of the body.
Fortunately, though, severe or life-threatening allergies occur in only a small group of kids. In fact, the annual incidence of anaphylactic reactions is small — about 30 per 100,000 people — although those with asthma, eczema, or hay fever are at greater risk of experiencing them. Most anaphylactic reactions — up to 80% — are caused by peanuts or tree nuts.
Some allergies are fairly easy to identify because the pattern of symptoms following exposure to certain allergens can be hard to miss. But other allergies are less obvious because they can masquerade as other conditions.
If your child has cold-like symptoms lasting longer than a week or two or develops a "cold" at the same time every year, consult your doctor, who will likely ask questions about the symptoms and when they appear. Based on the answers to these questions and a physical exam, the doctor may be able to make a diagnosis and prescribe medications or may refer you to an allergist for allergy skin tests and more extensive therapy.
To determine the cause of an allergy, allergists usually perform skin tests for the most common environmental and food allergens. These tests can be done in infants, but they're more reliable in kids over 2 years old.
A skin test can work in one of two ways:
If reactions to a food or other allergen are severe, a blood test may be used to diagnose the allergy so as to avoid exposure to the offending allergen. Skin tests are less expensive and more sensitive than blood tests for allergies. But blood tests may be required in children with skin conditions or those who are extremely sensitive to a particular allergen.
Even if a skin test and/or a blood test shows an allergy, a child must also have symptoms to be definitively diagnosed with an allergy. For example, a toddler who has a positive test for dust mites and sneezes frequently while playing on the floor would be considered allergic to dust mites.
There is no real cure for allergies, but it is possible to relieve symptoms. The only real way to cope with them is to reduce or eliminate exposure to allergens. That means that parents must educate their kids early and often, not only about the allergy itself, but also about what reaction they will have if they consume or come into contact with the allergen.
Informing any and all caregivers (childcare personnel, teachers, extended family members, parents of your child's friends, etc.) about your child's allergy is equally important.
If reducing exposure isn't possible or is ineffective, medications may be prescribed, including antihistamines (which you can also buy over the counter) and inhaled or nasal spray steroids.
In some cases, an allergist may recommend immunotherapy (allergy shots) to help desensitize your child. However, allergy shots are only helpful for allergens such as dust, mold, pollens, animals, and insect stings. They're not used for food allergies, and someone with food allergies must avoid that food.
Here are some things that can help kids avoid airborne allergens:
Food allergies usually aren't lifelong (although those to peanuts, tree nuts, and seafood can be). Avoiding the food is the only way to avoid symptoms while the sensitivity persists.
Doctors often recommend that caregivers of kids who are extremely sensitive to a particular food, have asthma in addition to the food allergy, or are allergic to insect venom carry injectable epinephrine (adrenaline) to counteract any allergic reactions.
Available in an easy-to-carry container that looks like a pen, injectable epinephrine is carried by millions of parents (and older kids) everywhere they go. With one injection into the thigh, the device administers epinephrine to ease the allergic reaction.
An injectable epinephrine prescription usually includes two auto-injectors and a "trainer" that contains no needle or epinephrine, but allows you and your child (if he or she is old enough) to practice using the device. It's vital that you familiarize yourself with the procedure by practicing with the trainer. Your doctor also can provide instructions on how to use and store injectable epinephrine.
Make sure kids 12 years or older keep injectable epinephrine readily available at all times. If your child is younger than 12, talk to the school nurse, teachers, and your childcare provider about keeping injectable epinephrine on hand in case of an emergency.
It's also important to ensure that injectable epinephrine devices are available in your home and in the homes of friends and family members if your child spends time there. Your doctor may also encourage your child to wear a medical alert bracelet. It's also wise to carry an over-the-counter antihistamine, which can help alleviate allergy symptoms in some people. But antihistamines should not be used as a replacement for the epinephrine pen.
Kids who have had to take injectable epinephrine should go immediately to a medical facility or hospital emergency department, where additional treatment can be given if needed. Up to one third of anaphylactic reactions can have a second wave of symptoms several hours following the initial attack, so these kids might need to be observed in a clinic or hospital for 4 to 8 hours following the reaction even though they seem well.
The good news is that only a very small group of kids will experience severe or life-threatening allergies. With proper diagnosis, preventive measures, and treatment, most kids can keep their allergies in check and live happy, healthy lives.

I recently purchased this mattress set for my daughter's big girl room. We were so impressed with the quality and comfort. So much so my husband and I have decided to buy another one for our guest room and have been sleeping in the bed ourselves. If we had purchased a comparable Serta mattress set in a local mattress store, it would have cost twice as much. I also got free shipping which made it an even better deal! The mattress delivery was quicky and efficient. We received it in under a week which was long before her bed arrived from another online store which had been ordered the week before. I was leary about making an online purchase but am glad I gave it a chance. The only thing I would warn others about is the depth of the mattress with the pillowtop. It's much deeper than I expected! A standard deep pocket full size fitted sheet will not fit and a full size comforter will be too small so go up a size when purchasing sheets and quilts/comforters for your bed.
I was a little worried about ordering a mattress online but I was not disappointed. The mattress set was delivered in 2 weeks. The delivery men took the old mattress away and set up the new one. It is very comfortable and everything I hoped.
It's a mattress set. It does its job well. I'm finding that new sheets sized for full beds are actually a little big on this. I also bought a bedspread for a full size that is a little bigger than needed. None of this is a problem, of course. I like pillowtops because they provide firm support on the other side of the cushioning--it's comfortable all around. This bed does just that. For a couple of weeks I slept directly on the mattress (no cover, no fitted sheet). No noticeable wear and tear (no threading, no tearing).
If you had 100 stars, I would give them ALL! Product was exactly as described - Serta Bristol Way Pillowtop Full-size Mattress Set was first class quality as you would expect in any store. I'm enjoying it every night ! Delivery took place exactly as scheduled -delivery guys were careful in my home; they removed the old set and took it away on the truck. They were clean, courteous and professional in every way. When it comes to furniture and major pieces, I may never shop in any stores again ! :) Thank you Overstock!
I used to sleep on a Tempurpedic, but ultimately decided to go back to a spring mattress. I knew I wanted a pillowtop this time, and after seeing all the positive reviews for this one, I bought it. AMAZING! SOOO comfortable at an unbeatable price.
Springs started to break & mattress sagged in middle on side edges where broken springs are within a year of purchase. Made with cheap inferior materials & scrawny cheap springs. Tried to wire a couple of springs back together but it wasn't going to work. I then put the bad side toward the wall.Not long after that the same thing began to happen on the good side.Customer service would not replace b/c they called trying to wire springs back together was abuse. DON"T WASTE YOU MONEY ON CHEAP SERTA PRODUCTS, SHOP AROUND. Then Overstock shows crossed out prices and then showed their supposed sale price which was the same I later saw all over the internet.
The bed was a little firmer than I would like and what I expected from a pillow top.
Having slept on a mattress at least 15 years old and suffering from various body aches and pains upon awakening in the morning It finally dawned on me that a new mattress and box spring were in order. I researched incessantly on line, shopped several stores - from discounters to major department stores. Talked to several sales people and got a garden variety of answers to my questions - most were just sales people trying to make a sale it seems to me and not really trained in the technicalities of mattress construction and composition. I was recommended to Overstock.com from a friend who had ordered some furniture from the website and found there were several choices of mattresses - I was specifically looking for a pillow top, medium/firm well constructed mattress. I happened to hit on a great sale and could not believe the whole set was under $400 and included free delivery and white glove service. I also talked with an Overstock.com representative before making my purchase [debating between the different thicknesses of the mattresses] and she was incredibly helpful [having been in the mattress business for over 20 years] to make my final decision to buy the mattress set I chose. Delivery was within a week [amazing!], delivery service was spot on and smooth as can be. The whole process to deliver the mattress and box spring set, unpack it, remove the old mattress and box spring and place the new set in the bedroom on the second floor took no time at all. I was truly amazed at the efficiency and courtesy of the delivery service. I have had the mattress set for about a month now and am extremely pleased with it and, most importantly, do NOT wake up with aches and pains anymore - even with a shoulder injury! Standard sheets fit perfectly saving having to buy extra depth sheet sets and mattress pad [which was noted by the Overstock representative]. Kudos to Overstock.com, their knowledgeable representatives, the quality of the product and the expedient and courteous service from time of ordering to delivery.
So I've had this mattress/box-spring set for approximately a year now, and I couldn't be happier. It's still as soft and comfortable as the day it was purchased (perfect for unwinding after a long day). I bought it when we moved, to fit my full-sized bed frame. Upon it's arrival, and placement I noticed that it was a bit smaller than expected. I'm not sure if it's just that my bed frame was larger or the mattress set was smaller, but it wasn't that great of a difference for me to consider having it returned. It's REALLY comfortable, so I would definitely recommend it to anyone else who's interested in getting a mattress with a pillow top (I hated that uncomfortable feeling of springs stabbing me, in regular spring mattresses).
It came on time and it is a great matris and box springs.

- This mature hottie is definitely a MILF, with an hour glass body and legs that just won't quit. I have to say she was turning me on with her cheeky smile and nonchalant attitude. She came into my office well dressed and in desperate need of a good servicing. A lady who knows what she wants, and even if she is older than most of the girls who come on my couch, she has a wealth of experience which makes all the difference. Her husband was not giving her enough attention in the bedroom. It seemed to me unfair that a hot woman like Celine was not getting appreciated, such a waste. No wonder she found herself wound up in my office asking for a job in the adult industry, a woman's got needs. I'd like to think that I injected some well needed excitement into Celines life when I sprayed my man juice all over her elegant face. Her husband will be sorry when he's on his own in some lonely hotel searching the internet for porn and sees his wife getting serviced by yours truly.

Oakland County schools step up security, training for teachers
Bloomfield Hills schools add security officer, Waterford offers shooter training for teachers
The Bloomfield Hills School District is taking additional steps to improve school security in the aftermath of the deadly elementary school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.
Superintendent Rob Glass says the district is partnering with Bloomfield Township police to employ a school security officer.
The officer will oversee security work with the two current police liaison officers, and train staff, students and parents in the district.
In Waterford Township, teachers gathered for a special training session on how to take action if a shooter enters their school.
The training room was packed with teachers and school leaders from across Oakland County.
Watch: Detroit teachers receive anti-assailant training.
Dave Lessel, the assistant principal at Waterford Mott High School, signed up for the active shooter training, so he could go back and teach others at his school.
Lessel, along with 85 other teachers are getting a timely lesson on what to do in school shooter emergency.
This is the first in a series of seminars designed to help teachers, and so far, the response has been overwhelming.
The Homeland Security Division of Oakland County along with the sheriff's department put the seminars together.
The seminars are focusing on making sure teachers are prepared with some simple life-saving techniques should they ever need them.
They've added several new training sessions to the calendar over the next several months.
Training dates:
Feb. 11 9-11:30 a.m. and 1-3:30 p.m.
Oakland Schools Building
2111 Pontiac Lake Road in Waterford
Limit 60 attendees each session
Feb. 19 9-11:30 a.m. and 1-3:30 p.m.
Oakland Schools Building
2111 Pontiac Lake Road in Waterford
Limit 120 attendees each session
Teachers and school staff who want to attend a training session should register with Oakland Schools Event Management one day prior to the training session by calling 248-209-2500

Hi: 11° Lo:4°
WARWICKSHIRE County Council has been fined £30,000 following the death of four firefighters in the Atherstone warehouse blaze.
The council had already pleaded guilty to breaching health and safety legislation before the start of the trial at Stafford Crown Court.
Mr Justice MacDuff said the fine given to the council "in no way" summed up the cost of the four men's lives but reflected shortcomings in record-keeping and information given to fire crews at the time of the huge fire at the vegetable packing plant in November 2007.
He added the investigation had cost £5 million in total and he had issued a £30,000 fine because he "didn't want the public purse to suffer any more than it needed to."
He added: ""This dreadful accident was caused by a series of mishaps and failures occurring together some being more potent than others.
"The defendant (Warwickshire County Council) has reformed its risk management systems and training and equipment. I am entirely satisfied that there has been full rectification of these matters."
The bodies of John Averis, 27, from from Tredington, Ashley Stephens, 20, and Darren Yates-Badley, 24, both from Alcester, were recovered from the gutted warehouse, while Ian Reid, 44, from Stratford, died later in hospital after being pulled from the wreckage.
Defending, Ben Compton QC said the Atherstone fire marked the "darkest year" for firefighters in the last 30 years and had left families and colleagues filled with "grief and emptiness".
Some 100 firefighters, from Warwickshire, and neighbouring Hereford and Worcester and the West Midlands tackled the blaze at the site owned by Wealmoor Atherstone Ltd.
Three senior fire officers - involved in the command process on the fateful night of the fire - had previously been charged with manslaughter by gross negligence. All three were cleared by a court in May this year.
The charges prompted a war of words between the county's fire service and police force.
Warwickshire Police criticised the fire service for not being helpful enough during the investigation, a charge the fire service vigorously denied. They subsequently demanded an explanation from the Home Office as to why the three men were charged.
The investigation into the fire has already cost £4.6 million. Police remain convinced it was started deliberately but no one has ever been charged. Three men and a woman were arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life. in May 2009, but were later released without charge.

Zito seeks repeat performance against Padres
Stults looks to bounce back in rematch from last Sunday
If Barry Zito can take some of his home cooking on the road Saturday against the Padres, he'll definitely find success at Petco Park.
According to Elias Sports Bureau, Zito is only the second Giants pitcher in the modern era to record scoreless outings of at least seven innings in each of his first three home starts.
In the left-hander's previous start against San Diego at home, he allowed just five hits in seven innings. He also struck out four and walked just one.
"Great job on Barry's part to throw such a great game," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "You need to be resilient in this game. I felt like he threw well, had good command and had good pitches."
Meanwhile, Padres left-hander Eric Stults will get a second chance against the Giants and Zito after taking a loss on Sunday.
Working a season-high seven innings in the start, Stults allowed five runs on eight hits. He also struck out two.
"Stults has been throwing the ball well," Bochy said after Sunday's game. "Changing speeds, a nice, slow curveball to go with his other pitches. He throws his soft stuff a lot."
After tossing five shutout innings in his first start of the season against the Mets, Stults has allowed 25 hits in his past three starts.
Giants: Affeldt set to test strained side
• Reliever Jeremy Affeldt hopes to continue his recovery from a strained right side by throwing off a bullpen mound Saturday.
However, Bochy said he's not certain the left-hander will be activated from the disabled list when he is eligible to return on Tuesday.
Bochy said that Affeldt must also throw to hitters in a simulated game or live batting practice before the Giants can determine if the reliever can rejoin the active roster.
Padres: Wieland upbeat after bullpen session
• After tossing 100 pitches off a mound on Friday in Arizona, right-hander Joe Wieland was more than pleased with his bullpen session.
"My spirits, my enthusiasm today … it's the best day I've had," Wieland said of his recovery from Tommy John surgery. "Strength, health, I feel that I'm close to 100 percent of how I should be feeling."
While working out in Arizona, Wieland threw the equivalent of three innings, resting in between innings, at about 75-80 percent, he said.
Wieland said it is still too early to know when he'll appear in a Minor League game on a rehabilitation assignment, though he'll know more in another month - around the 10-month mark.
Worth noting
• Giants batters are averaging just 3.7 pitches per plate appearance, the fewest among any team in the Majors.

Two Special Olympics Great Britain Unified Partners worked with a local club to develop Unified Sports.
Congratulations to George Holt (16, left on picture) and Keven Shard (14, right on picture), Special Olympics Unified Football Athlete and Partner in Great Britain, NW region who are also elected SOEE Youth Advisory Board members and participants in European and Global Youth Summits 2010 and 2011. The two true friends and youth leaders motivated a local sports club to open a new Special Olympics Unified Sports branch.
The group, Skelmersdale Men-Aces, will do Unified football, football, basketball, swimming and hope to do Table tennis cricket and Bocce. They currently have 3/4 football teams playing regularly and are developing the other sports.
Had it not been for the competition that George and Keven ran, and their work in doing presentations about Unified football wherever they can, this would not have been achieved. There are more groups interested in signing up to Special Olympics, again as a result of their hard work, and surely very soon we will have more news on that front.
Those are exciting news thanks to all the hard work the boys are putting into developing Unified Sports in Great Britain.
Well Done! Keep Up the good work and believing you can change things for all.
Help us reach one more athlete.
Find out about the many ways you can get involved in the Special Olympics programs nearest you. There are 58 country-level offices in the Europe/Eurasia region.

Today, the Templeton Foundation gave its most prestigious award to my hero, Jean Vanier. For Linda and our children and me, he has also been our retreat leader, our teacher of humility, our guide.

Mother and Daughter Photographers Share Their Love of Art at the Guild's Spring
Bronwyn Olsen and her mother, Diana Jorgenson, share more than a close, trusting relationship. They have been making art together for their entire lives, as did Diana and her own mother. "My mother was my teacher," Jorgenson said. "I spent most of my childhood drawing."
The mother-daughter team of Olsen and Jorgenson will show their photography and crystal window hangings Sunday, May 29, at the Mohawk Valley Artists Guild's annual Spring Arts and Craft Fair. The juried show runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Graeagle Fire Hall, on Highway 89.
Olsen's specialty is true-to-life photography. Jorgenson is more eclectic in her art skills: "I've always done two – three types of art at one time." Olsen commented, "She's always changing, doing something different."
"That's what art is about," replied Jorgenson. "Reinventing everything!"
Jorgenson's gift of picture perfect drawing, perhaps the result of her ability to pay close attention to detail, transferred to her photography in college at the University of Minnesota College when she got her first camera. The camera went everywhere with Jorgenson for years, but she was also doing porcelain, oil and watercolor, wood inlay, Ukrainian eggs, bead-woven earrings, pen and ink, colored pencils, even dance. Oil was her favorite.
Olsen offered that oil is where her mother has done her best work. Sadly, her paintings have all been distributed, except for a few family treasures. Although oil painting was a gratifying practice, having a family motivated Jorgensen to switch back to her original art form, drawing — this time, with colored pencils. It was something she could do more readily alongside her children. "It's fun having art that you can do with your kids. It's play!"
The 1997 flood was the force that moved Jorgenson to take up crystal window hangings. During evacuation from her home, she lost a wealth of beading supplies. The idea of sorting through a thousand dollars' worth of tiny muddy beads was heartbreaking. So she switched to bigger beads – crystals.
"Building up a large enough inventory of beads and crystals takes time." But it paid off. In her current home, a curtain of crystal hangings sparkle across a window. Prismatic colors and warmth fill the room with gentle motion and otherworldly light.
The vertical shapes and patterns Jorgensen designs into her crystal window hangings have evolved over 14 years of practice. "As I continue on, I go less with the opaque beads. I really prefer to have the transparencies." Jorgenson explained that there are sculptural aspects to the designs that she pays attention to as well as the light.
She described the emotional effect of her work with crystals. "It is so nice to get words out of my head! This is so visual. It's just light, color and shapes. I don't have to describe why it makes me happy. It just does!"
Jorgenson spoke of the time she spends creating the crystal hangings with the same joyous peacefulness Olsen evoked when she talked of her early days in the darkroom.
Olsen's photography began early in childhood, when she would use her mother's Brownie box camera to take pictures. This was part of their mother-daughter play. She took up photography more seriously when studying at Feather River College with Roxanne Valladao in 2002.
"She was a perfect teacher for me, to learn at my own pace, with my own projects." Olsen found the darkroom magical. "I could spend all day in the darkroom." There, she learned to see the density and contrast in the negative, and to watch in anticipation as a print emerged onto paper.
She repeated the course many times, making use of the equipment and improving her skills under Valladao's direction. "I made every mistake possible." That's Olsen's way to say she learned everything she could.
She wanted to do more with color, which digital cameras make possible. Taking classes with Lance Barker in digital photography, Olsen finally got her own camera in 2008, after she had solid know-how of what kind of camera she wanted to utilize. Barker taught her to use the manual controls so as to acquire the truest color of a subject. To this day, Olsen stays away from digital enhancement, wanting to record the beauty just as it is. She calls herself "picky," saying, "It's not OK to change the color, not for what I'm doing."
"I am passionate about sharing Plumas County with people. The magnificent area, the beauty, the events, the people." This is what motivates Olsen to present her work to the public. "Meeting people, they get excited and we tell each other places we've been to shoot." Olsen is eager for her upcoming trip to the La Porte area with her mother. It will be a new scene for both of them.
Olsen makes calendars using her photos of Packer Lake. They are popular with visitors at Packer Lake who want to take home a memory of their vacation. Working at Packer Lake for 16 years now, she has come to know exactly when to seek out which flowers for photos. The selection of blooming flowers changes weekly. Olsen's photos of Packer Lake can also be seen as cards and bookmarks, available at The Coffee Tree in Portola. Upon request, she will do enlargements of her work.
Jorgenson's hanging crystals are sold at Good Vibrations in Chester and EcoCentric in Graeagle.
For Olsen, it's not just about the photo. "When I'm not taking pictures, I still love seeing the same place again in different light, in a different season." A family favorite and tradition is the annual rodeo in Taylorsville and the junior rodeo in Sierraville. The animals, the people, everything becomes a subject of interest.
Both of these women talk of "seeing" things many times, in many circumstances, in many lightings, and of taking pictures of those things many times. Jorgenson says, "You have to be patient enough to wait until the right moment."
Photography does that to you, Jorgenson says. It makes you more "expectant." "You are always looking for things that appear slightly differently than you've seen them before.
"You've got the lens; your finger is on the trigger. It's about the moment. The moment is not going to happen again. Two days are never the same."
If they run into a lot of other people taking pictures, Olsen's mother assures her that there can't be too many photographers shooting the same subject. "Two artists will see a subject very differently, it's individual to you … it's your vision … what you see."
When Olsen is out with her own daughters, she actively points things out. "It's good to see as much as you can."
You can see these women's work at the Mohawk Valley Artists Guild show on Sunday. The Guild is a nonprofit organization which generates cash for Plumas County schools to use for art supplies. It has hosted the selective show for 27 years. The entire proceeds of sales go home with the artists. This weekend's show makes available for sale personally made art of exceptional quality, with artists on hand for conversation and tips. The show will include glasswork, jewelry, woodwork and furniture, photography, paintings, wool arts, cottage and designer crafts, goat-milk based products and much more — plenty for everyone to see.
