Tramadol isn't that good for pain (although that's what it's indicated for), instead I find it to be a decent anxiolytic & anti-depressant. To fully appreciate tramadol though you need to understand the drug. The first 3 hours gives a 'mental lift', cheerful and fear-free, then, after that, tramadol's opioid metabolite takes over - rendering me very calm and (often) sleepy. It's at this 3-4 hour 'second stage' where I'd sleep quite good on tramadol. But again, to summarize, you need to take tramadol for a couple days straight in order to fully appreciate the way it behaves. An aquired taste.
I was on Percocet after major Bariatric surgery in which 65% of my stomach was removed. Most of my. Post-op pain was using Percocet but I have had pain in my abdominal area where they opened me up. My stomach muscles are still sore and I lost my core strength band now my Arthritis and neuro-muscular pain from a previous accident . I got immune to Percocet and I was moved over to Ultram at first 200mgs twice a day. It's getting better but I still have a fair bit of pain in the morning and hard to get out of bed without pain meds and a heating pad, I only take 100mg in the evening. I do get the odd muscle twitch in my right leg, but that's so minor, I haven't been this pain-free for the day in years and I can't take NSAIDS as I could have a stomach bleed. Long-term this is a good drug, I just stay away from coffee as it makes me shaky and buzzy feeling.
I have a very high tolerance to most pain meds, always have for some reason. Tramadol is the first pain med that actually works for me and I have tried many in the past. I have many issues which cause me extreme pain and this med helps, I may finally be able to live without suffering. I get a little loopy due to it but not too bad and it's a small price to pay for the relief. Everyone is different, while it may not work for some, it, like any med, may do wonders for others. In my case this may well be the answer to my agony. I'm on 300mg a day and the relief for me was near instant, was feeling better 20 minutes after my first dose and it just improved from there.
Prescribed in lieu of oxycodone which I hated. Took this for shoulder pain. Worked great for 1 week. Then came the side effects. Extreme bouts of sweating, rash, headaches, vomiting, nausea, and a "lost weekend" where I still dont remember it. Was taking with Celebrex and Ambien. Wrong thing to do. Stopped taking it after 3 weeks and had withdrawals. I now have tinnitis due to this drug. Do not take until you have read all the warnings! This is a horrible drug! I wouldn't recommend even to my enemies.
I was prescribed 50mg Tramadol Capsules for pain after undergoing a Diagnostic Laparoscopy under general anaesthetic. I was unwell therefore I was in bed every time I took one of the capsules, 3x daily but spaced out. After taking the capsules the pain would go away completely however the side effects were severe and worrying. Muscle twitching, particularly in the leg and foot area which got worse and uncontrollable. Extreme vertigo and drowsiness even though I couldn't fall asleep. Experienced a state of Euphoria and felt very high and confused, also forgetting things I had just spoke about or thought about. Very addictive though I am not sure why, the side effects were extremely worrying.
i am on eye medication,brimonidine, timolol maleate and travoprost for gloucoma. i had wrist pain and my doctor described trama-dol but after 2 days of taking trama-dol i woke up with blurry vision. the pharamist and my reserch on google did not state it has any reaction to my eye medication.. i reported to my doctor and he said to stop taking trama-dol, so i can not rate this drug. can you tell me if this can cause my vision to become blurry or cause more problems to my eye sight ?? thank you
If it works at all, it takes a long time to work.
Endorse this non-narcotic 100% when administered via an IV in ER for kidney stones. Noticed difference within one minute and almost total relief within 2 minutes; unlike narcotics that take much longer to ease pain, does not remove as much pain, and are constipating. Since it works, look for the FDA to restrict its usage and/or pharmaceutical companies to promote more expensive & profitable drugs. Negative note, most ER rooms tend to use narcotics so a patient needs to request Tramadol.
I have been taking this in form of Ultracet for 5 years and now on straight Tramadol 100 mg 2-3 times a day. I feel it is one of the safer pain meds out there since my disease will only worsen and I will probably continue to take it forever. It used to give me an added boost of energy but that doesn't happen anymore
I cannot take anti inflammatory so i was prescribed this. I did have multiple side effects but it helps with pain for awhile.

Feb 5, 2015I can barely believe how good this movie is. It may not be necessarily perfect, but it's got so many great things going on. The acting is impeccable, the direction is great... but the standout is definitely the plot, the story. It's got such suspense and it's so entertaining that you soon forget the notion that "Argo" may sound like a boring film. Quite the opposite actually.
Jan 3, 2015
Dec 22, 2014
Dec 21, 2014Argo has great direction and acting, and builds up a thrilling and convincing piece of history. Despite accusations of inaccuracy and nationalism (even though the film only focuses on one small, isolated group of people undergoing a minor operation), this is still a very intense and gripping story that shouldn't be passed up.
Dec 19, 2014Smart, tense and well directed, "Argo" succeeds not just as a great movie but as a realistic political thriller that keeps audience entertained for 2 hours.
Dec 15, 2014
Dec 4, 2014This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
Nov 9, 2014Argo balances suspense with fun and entertainment very well despite its slow pace. Although it falls short of Oscar winning expectations, it's old-school feel and tension escalates it from falling flat.
Sep 1, 2014Affleck has directed and crafted one of the best films of not only this year, but of his entire career. This film manages to take a true story and turn it into a masterpiece.
Aug 24, 2014
Aug 13, 2014Argo is an good slow-growth film that caps with a fantastically tense ending. If you can stand a slower movie without things constantly exploding for you then you should absolutely see this movie.
Jul 17, 2014This is a well done film by Ben Affleck who gives sharp direction and acting to this movie. It's triumphant and thrilling. Great performances from Affleck, Cranston, Alda, Goodman and the supporting cast
May 25, 2014
May 11, 2014Interesting start
Then comes abrupt stall somewhere between Hollywood and BBC
So many usual hardships like divorced hero with a Son in shared custody far far away
People do strange thing under duress but I am sure it wasn't like n this movie when embassy opens its doors because some officer wanted to reason with hostagetakers
Couldn't bear it

Apr 16, 2014
Apr 7, 2014Ben Affleck's swift, skillful direction - including a fantastic opening sequence - fails to disguise the fact that "Argo" lacks any real style or substance, offering instead bland characterizations and caper cliches, not to mention gross historical inaccuracies that make this "epic" perilously close to a fabrication.
Mar 18, 2014I don't understand why this has such great reviews. It was a boring as all hell patriotic American BS movie that drags along until the end. Boring story.
Mar 13, 2014Very tense and very well done. The directing was perfect to make the situation as tense and intense as it truly was. It was very entertaining and very interesting. However nothing about the film seemed particularly innovative or new. A good film, yes. Best picture worthy, questionable.
Mar 8, 2014The buildup was a bit slow, but once it gets going, it's just awesome. It's thrilling, suspenseful, and well-directed. I mean, just think about the dialogue and the acting, and this movie really stands out.

Dec 14, 2013The third movie in direction for Ben Affleck brings the world of old fashioned thriller movie into 2012 which is about 6 Americans trapped in Iraq ,the movie is outstanding directing ,acting great script is just WOW!
Dec 14, 2013Argo balances suspense with fun and entertainment very well despite its slow pace. Although it falls short on expectations, it's old-school feel and tension escalates it from falling flat.
Oct 18, 2013Especially I won't forget the escape scene with aircraft from Iran. I feel the operation Argo, I feel like I am in this Argo operation now. It impressed me, I feel some complicated feels but this film is in my hits.
Oct 4, 2013horrible display of american propaganda apart of that stiff very slow moving plot and uninteresting characters. Dont recommend it to anyone.
Dont watch it but looks like no one has anyways judging by the number of rating this picture got. -
Sep 24, 2013Not a bad film at all, does not fail to build massive tension throughout the end... but i was disappointed due the fact that this ends up in typical exaggerated american style "we are the good guys and we always win".
It's great that they make films about historic events, but i think it's just an absolutely onesided view of events. -
Sep 22, 2013Argo is a true story, so it`s amazing, but did not make for a great movie for me. It`s interesting, but did not blow me away, and I wouldn`t care much for it if it was all made up. I did find it watchable, and worth finishing for the movie rush at the end.
Sep 21, 2013One of a kind movie! Ben Affleck does a great job directing and portraying the main character. You hold your breath every step of the way until the end. It's unbelievable that it was based on a true CIA story. It's a real life Mission Impossible. The movie contains every detail from the characters to the era fashion. Clean movie and historic film for the family to watch, no profanity or nudity.

Jun 4, 2013"No question and hands down one of the best films of this year. Argo is an award contender that's for sure. With Affleck's fantastic direction and an amazing in depth story. Argo is a movie were going to be talking about for years and years to come." A+
May 18, 2013
May 12, 2013Argo is an intense thriller with almost no shots fired or over-the-top action. And the fact that it all actually happend makes it even more intense. The humor is great, the cast is brilliant, the shots look good, it all makes this movie so enjoyeble to watch. I highly recommend Argo, one of the best films of 2012!

Apr 27, 2013A shocking movie full good quality Actors and Actions Magnificent like Goodman and Alan Arkin Jhon without removing the Ben Affleck and Bryan Cranston keeps you in the seat expectant that happen in the movie is full of stress and Action
Apr 20, 2013
Apr 11, 2013
Apr 9, 2013It felt like the movie started out a little slow. But, that feeling went away pretty quickly.
Argo is easily one of the best movies of 2012. Ben Affleck, John Goodman, Bryan Cranston and the rest of the crew deliver an Oscar-worthy performance. -
Apr 6, 2013Argo is absolutely incredible. I have never had encountered so much suspense in a single movie. The plot was splendid, the acting was amazing, and the plan of Tony Mendez was crazy. I felt that this movie was very serious, but had sets of comic relief, with Lester and John Chambers. Overall, this movie has soared into being one of my favorite movies and I suggest everyone should check it out.
Apr 6, 2013
Apr 3, 2013THE BEST movie since Gladiator (2000)!!! All those tension, all those mystery, with some good humor...
highly recommended!!! -
Apr 2, 2013Argo is tense and exciting with well written characters. The recognizable names help push it to greater heights. I give this film 83%.
Apr 1, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
Apr 1, 2013This year's top films: Zero Dark Thirty, Lincoln, Argo. Without comparison, Argo is a fine film. Tension is high, story is strong, and acting all around is good. With comparison however, I'm afraid it just doesn't measure up with Lincoln or Zero Dark Thirty. I'm afraid Argo got the "pity vote" this year......but I suppose it still pays the bills, right Ben? A win is a win.
Mar 31, 2013
Mar 31, 2013Despite some historical inaccuracies and having a pro-American approach, this is a fast paced political thriller which also has some moments of comedy (from Alan Arkin in one of his best roles) under the direction of star Ben Affleck who has now become something of a pro at making edge-of-your-seat movies. One of the best of 2012.
Mar 31, 2013
Mar 30, 2013I was completely surprised by this movie. I thought it was going to be dull, but every line spoken is either interesting or funny. Very suspenseful. Must watch!
Mar 30, 2013Argo has been praised by both critics and audience alike. Bit surprisingly, as despite being better than average political thriller it is difficult to believe it would be looked back as Oscar-winning classic. It has inaccuracies and dramatizations which have too much of a scripted feel, given the story is based on real events.
Mar 29, 2013
Mar 29, 2013IF this movie is an 8 and frankly I gave it an 8 mainly because it won the Oscar for best film it is certainly a weak 8. While an interesting film, there is little special going on here. This really makes one wonder about the entire awards process. An entertaining two hours, but nothing that will leave you feeling you have seen something extraordinary.
Mar 26, 2013Argo is a true thriller, bringing together suspense as well as an edge-of-your-seat experience. Were the people able to get out alright? I was granted a solid and well developed answer to this question. Unbelievable.
Mar 24, 2013Argo is magnificently brilliant in every way. It's perfect in terms of espeonauge and story telling (even though it's based on a true story). Not only was there great acting, but director, Ben Affleck, reels in some great acting as well. But overall, Affleck has given us an incredible experience of how far one man will go to save the lives of others.
Mar 24, 2013Not bad. No way. It's okay. It's well above average. But it isn't an appropriate Best Film of the the Year. Have fun, watch it--then go see a real stand out: Zero Dark 30.
Mar 23, 2013argo is an overall good film. I feel that a few scenes fell flat and many supporting characters were unnecessary because they had such small roles, but the overall film has plenty of nail-biting moments and phenomonal acting.
Mar 22, 2013Impresionante, la puesta en escena, la interpretación, y lo crehíble de la historia aunque parezca increhíble. Ben Affleck extraordinario, convirtiendo al actor en un buenísimo director.
Mar 21, 2013
Mar 21, 2013Disregarding some factual controversy and looking at it solely as a film, Argo is quite well made. The performances are great and the film does a good job of keeping things moving. However, when compared to some other pictures from this year I don't know that I'd agree that its "Best Picture" good.
Mar 17, 2013lo deja a uno sin aliento ,argo es una obra maestra bien pensada y ejecutada pero lo que mas marca a argo con una película excepcional es su ultimo acto donde los americanos se suben al avión ira-ni
Mar 17, 2013
Mar 16, 2013This is not my favorite film of the year but it is the most well made film of the year on an all around score. It lacks my emotional captivation however it brings all the well moving parts of a hot evenly paced thriller (of sorts). It brings a fantastic script alive and I may forgive Affleck for faults in his previous career stumbles.
Mar 10, 2013Wow who could believe that Ben Affleck would become this good of a director. Argo is his best work to date and lined with a great cast including Affleck himself, this film has some very suspenseful moments.
Mar 9, 2013While a sizeable proportion of America got caught up with whether or not Tony Mendez should be considered hispanic or not, the rest of us experienced one of Ben Affleck's better performances in a movie that essentially cements his reputation as a 5-star director. Ben Affleck is the new Oliver Stone. No, let me rephrase that Oliver Stone wishes he was Ben Affleck...
Mar 8, 2013
Mar 6, 2013Not knowing what the ending will be like, kept me on the edge of my seat! Yes, the real story wasnt real to the true story. But the movie did pull off one thing, and thats tension!
Mar 5, 2013
Mar 2, 2013
Mar 1, 2013Argo is a success. This film is one of the ones that i will remember my whole life. The last 30 mins are absolutely heart-pounding and i just love how ben affleck tells the story of Tony Mendez through his direction and acting. Argo is one of the best.
Feb 28, 2013puh-leez, this movie was not that good. won the oscars because the industry is a scene that celebrates itself. the movie was average and uncompelling. ben afleck is about as talented an actor as keanu reeves.

Feb 22, 2013Patient script that at times seems to move a little bit too slow. The film feels very authentic. Affleck does a nice job in directing and acting in this flick. The ending left a little to be desired. Overall, solid film.
Feb 18, 2013
Feb 18, 2013After all the talk, I thought well maybe Ben Affleck did something good after all, but I was sceptical. I was right. This movie is just one big orgy of tough man tough talk, which really gets annoying after 20 minutes or so. There is completely no character development in any of the hostages. I had a hard time not falling asleep. What an incredible bore.
Feb 11, 2013
Feb 8, 2013
Feb 6, 2013
Feb 2, 2013It's an interesting movie and well directed. It gives you some insight as to what happened. Though I would have liked some scenes on the other embassy employees that were held hostage. The best part for me was seeing the old Swissair 747 take off.... (But that's just because I'm Swiss)........... Btw, that 747 was named Argovia (after the Kanton/State Aargau) Argo is the short version.
Jan 29, 2013
Jan 27, 2013
Jan 26, 2013
An old-school espionage thriller with a movie-biz comedy twist, all the better for being (almost) entirely true. It is to Ben Affleck's credit that the tension and laughs complement rather than neutralise each other.
Oct 17, 2012Combining laughs and thrills with plenty of verve, Ben Affleck continues his smart directorial career with a stylish, gripping hostage drama.
Argo isn't quite on the level of the Sidney Lumet classics to which Affleck pays stylistic homage - smart and taut as it is, it lacks the broader political vision of a film like "Dog Day Afternoon." But Lumet lite still goes down pretty smooth.

About Charbonnel et Walker
Founded in 1875, Charbonnel et Walker is one of Britain's earliest chocolatiers. Encouraged by Edward VII, (then the Prince of Wales), the company first formed as a partnership between Mrs Walker and Mme. Charbonnel, the latter from the Maison Boissier chocolate house in Paris. Charbonnel et Walker's first shop opened at 173 New Bond Street in Mayfair and has remained in Bond Street ever since. It is now housed in one of London's elegant arcades, the Royal Arcade on Old Bond Street. 'We feel much pride and privilege to be endorsed by the Royal Warrant as chocolate manufacturers to Her Majesty The Queen'.

Came to mind that PRSi refers to multiple guitars how about PRSf to refer to the forum? Might be a good inbetween for the guys that like text but not the word "forum"
Came to mind that PRSi refers to multiple guitars how about PRSf to refer to the forum? Might be a good inbetween for the guys that like text but not the word "forum"
I had the idea of the world, the globe, the community of all of us because we have members from all over. So I did a compass design. I wanted the birds, but when it was shrank down to TRC size, I felt like it lost too much definition. So, I went to eight birds, as evenly spaced at the compass points as possible. Then the idea of the f-hole f came along, so I added that. Later on, and I don't know why I did this, or if many others seem to like it, but I did the 'Est. 2012' thing. I offset it to one side, but it's since been tweaked to the center. I like it better offset, but whatever.
To stick to your question, though, I thought eight birds at the compass points of the world 'read' better. Less busy, more subtle, and classier too imo. I wasn't too concerned with using all the birds on a neck. I just felt that the most easily identified birds would say PRS Guitars just fine. Fewer birds, but bigger and clearer ones.

I get the whole 8 points of the compass thing. If I were to choose 8 of the ten, I'd put on the Storm Petrel and the Screech Owl and take off the Sparrow Landing and the Hawk Landing - they just look like blobs when they are only outlines or solids without any interior detail. The Petrel and the Owl are much more identifiable as birds in the form we are using them.
That's an interesting point, Bill.
It's not the highest factor on my list, but it is a factor to me that this TRC will be seen by people who may not be as familiar with the PRS brand as some of us are. With that in mind, I just chose the eight that I thought looked the best on their own as well as part of the whole design. The actual amount was just the way it turned out. I guess it could have been done with only four birds, but I liked the message that eight conveyed. We forum members and PRS fans are all over the world, yet we're still relatively small in number as far as guitar companies - and their fans - are concerned. Using every bird wasn't high on my list, or even which birds; I just used what I felt were the best.
As for which bird species you're referring to, I honestly don't know one from another, although I've looked at the list plenty of times. But I can identify them this way on my layout: The bird under the f-hole, and the one under the 12 in '2012' (or at 8 o'clock and 4 o'clock) were my last choices because they were the "least best" examples of the eight I started with if that makes any sense. If you have an idea about using different birds somewhere, I'd like to see it. I'm for whatever makes this whole adventure work out for everybody.
One more thing if you don't mind. I want to apologize to everybody for slowing down the process because I don't have an image hosting acct. somewhere. I realize it's a pain to have to deal with me in this, and I really appreciate everybody's patience and indulgence. I can't thank you all enough for letting me take part.
'No... Look away... I'm hideous!' - Cosmo Kramer
Me thinks that folks are overthinking this a tad.
You're never too old for tater tots.
It looks like we may be getting close to making a decision on the final design, but I'd like to keep it open a bit longer to allow others to submitt their ideas. Post 'em if you got 'em boys!
I'll get my design finalized and posted in the next day or two. Sure wish I still had PhotoShop on my computer.
One Life
I am liking the paisley one. Nice and classy and would look good on a top of the range ps or on a se. Would it be possible to make a se one so its cheaper. Not all of us are that well off.
Some very creative designs...
Lets get some prototypes made...
I'll leave this open until Friday, unless someone needs more time. After that I'll start a new thread, for those who want to play along at home, allowing members to vote for their favorite TRC.
IMHO, PRSh should be the one to have the final say on the design. Just to give it that extra touch.
The Bovine Fury <-- New Album Yes, Please available NOW!
05 Custom 22 / 07 Mira / 08 Baritone SE / 03 Santana SE
A couple more days to get your designs in folks. Friday March 8 is the deadline.
One more thing: the "f" doesn't only stand for "forum", but also for "friends with Sergio"
Love for all human beings is like listening to any kind of music. You just don't care.

Firefighters dig through ashes to find firefighter's wedding ring
UPDATED 12:36 PM EDT Apr 03, 2014In a show of devotion to their fallen brother and his wife, firefighters in Boston who worked with Lt. Edward Walsh dug through the rubble and ashes of the building in which he died to find his wedding ring.
Video TranscriptAS INVESTIGATORS CONTINUE TO SEARCH FOR THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE THAT KILLED TWO BOSTON FIREFIGHTERS, A GROUP OF FIREFIGHTERS HAS ALSO BEEN DIGGING THROUGH THE ASHES. SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING TO HELP EASE THE PAIN OF THE WIDOW OF ONE OF THE VICTIMS. AS PAM CROSS REPORTS, THEY FOUND IT. PAM, THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE. IT IS. YOU KNOW, WE ARE TOLD LIEUTENANT ED WALSH, ALWAYS WORE IT AND LIKELY HAD IT ON WHEN HE RUSHED INTO THE BUILDING BEHIND ME. IMAGINE FINDING SOMETHING THIS SMALL, A SIMPLE WEDDING BAND, IN THAT MESS. THE INVESTIGATORS WERE BACK AT THE BURNED OUT BEACON STREET SHELL TODAY. PATTY TO DONOVAN ON THE SCENE AS WELL. WE STARTED DIGGING AND I HAD A SHOVEL AND FOUR OF US HAD SISTERS AND EACH GOT A SCOOP AND GO THROUGH IT SLOWLY ONE BY ONE. GO THROUGH IT WITH YOU HANS. THEY WERE LOOKING FOR LIEUTENANT ED WALSH'S WEDDING BAND AT THE ONE THING HIS WIDOW WANTED BACK. FIREFIGHTERS ALREADY TURNED THE FIREHOUSE UPSIDE DOWN SEARCHING, NO LUCK. SO THEY WENT BACK TO THE SCENE. IT IS ONE OF THE TOOLS THE INVESTIGATORS USE IS THEY SIFT. AND SO THEY TAKE THE CHARRED DEBRIS AND SIFT IT LOOKING FOR CLUES. PATTY DONOVAN COULDN'T BELIEVE IT WAS THERE AND ALL RIGHT. THEY RUSHED TO THE WAKE ALREADY UNDERWAY AND OTHER MOURNERS WATCHED. THEY SURROUNDED HER LIKE THE SECOND FAMILY THAT EVERY FIREFIGHTER HAS. IT WAS INCREDIBLY MOVING. AND WE HAD BEEN AT FIRE SCENE SO WE WEREN'T ALL THAT CLEAN. WE WANTED TO GET OVER THERE BEFORE THE WAKE WAS OVER AND PRESENTED THE RING TO HER AT THE WAKE AND SHE SLIPPED IT ON HER FINGER AND STARTED CRYING AND WE GAVE HER A BIG HUG AND WAS IT AND IT WAS A TOUCHING MOMENT. TODAY, MANY FIREFIGHTERS ARE AT THE SCENE. THEY HAVE COME HERE ALL AFTERNOON. SOME PROBABLY

By: Mark Friestad, Guest Blogger
We all value "close" relationships. There's a level of intimacy and reciprocity that makes both people feel validated. Communication flows freely, and there's a high amount of mutual respect. Everyone knows that having a close family is better than having an estranged one. But that's just the problem.
Because "everyone knows" it's good, we rarely define "closeness" with any precision. As a result, we often make this faulty assumption: if a parent and child have a close relationship, there will be (and should be) no secrets.
In fact, exercising discretion over what to share about your own life, and who to share it with, is a healthy step of autonomy. To be sure, kids and parents should communicate, about issues large and small. But young people also need to cultivate trusting relationships with confidants other than their parents.
This shifts the dynamic in the parent-child relationship. It's not that teenagers need their parents any less – they just need them in a different way. Kids learn to problem-solve, to negotiate, and to handle disappointment in ways that require less direct parental involvement. Naturally, fewer details get shared.
If a parent feels lonely or alienated by that (Why can't we spend time together, like we used to? Why won't he/she open up?), they may try to press in. The kid in turn withdraws, becoming even more secretive. Or, a parent might withdraw, concluding, I guess they just don't need me anymore. They'd rather be with their friends. That's not healthy either.
One study by Nancy Darling of Oberlin College found that a combination of warmth and intrusiveness by mothers caused kids to put up privacy barriers, keeping secrets and even lying to prevent parents from knowing what they were up to. Sensitivity was good – it showed kids that the parent respected their desire for autonomy. But the higher the level of warmth – or what we might call the expectation of a "close" emotional bond – the higher the desire for privacy. And warmth plus emotional insensitivity caused kids to be desperate to draw and preserve boundaries of identity between them and their parents.
What, then, should we be aiming for?
How do you know when you're "too close" for your child's good? One way is to ask them! Kids, like adults, desire different amounts of direct help and support in different situations. Asking, listening, and then responding out of respect for their needs is a wonderful model of parental support.

Kaenon Lewi one of my favorites
I've had my Kaenon Lewi sunglasses for about a year now, and they still are great. For my med-wide face, they fit well - a nice fit without feeling too tight. I got the Tobacco C12 (the "C" stands for Copper Tint) and I'd say that's Kaenon's most versatile lens - they do well on bright days and are perfect for partly cloudy days because the copper lens really brings out the colors, helping brighten things up a bit. While the Lewi frames are solid and sturdy, they are not heavy glasses. They are more lifestyle-oriented, but I would recommend them for everything except the most bumpy activities
What size face do this fit?
What size face do this fit?
Rob Wykoff
The Kaenon Lewi sunglasses fit medium to wide faces - I have a wider than average face and they are a great fit for me.
Stacy Newton
I've owned a lot of sunglasses but I've never loved my glasses this much. Kaenon is the only way to go. This new Lewi is excellent - over sized wrap, best lenses and awesome fit. It is the best balance of sport / fashion frame w/ incredible optics available. Buy Kaenon -- you will love them.
great, no complaints
They are very comfortable and they do a good job of blocking light from all directions. I can't stand it when a pair of sunglasses lets in light from below and these keep me covered.

Flash tries to do too many things at once. I think flash is a little before it's time. SVG should be part of html and so should video div / spans ... Hopefully HTML5 will fix all this.
Flash tries to do too many things at once. I think flash is a little before it's time. SVG should be part of html and so should video div / spans ... Hopefully HTML5 will fix all this.
Flash was designed and conceived in a world that is fast ceasing to exist I think.
It came about to solve a lot of the problems and limitations inherent in IE4/5/6 in a world that used nothing else.
But now we're transitioning to HTML5 which, in his own words, has all of the same problems as flash to solve.
Well, what I mean is, HTML5 is a standard and anybody who implements an HTML5 renderer will have the same problems to solve.
However, they *will* solve them, faster and more efficiently than Adobe ever will and gradually flash will be marginalized.
Yeah, nowadays it seems that maximizing income by minimizing work force is about only "creative" plan CEOs are able to come up with. Then you end up with gigantic global company with single (?) developer in Unix/Linux-support department whining about sub-optimal video APIs. Adobe, with its Flash near-monopoly, is supposed to set standards for video playback on Linux.
When playing video, the "RGB elements" could be converted to YUV. This would have to happen only once and then this whole argument of "flash being a different problem" falls flat on its ass.
Your bog-standard video player can do OSD and subtitles. This is done in by superimposing YUV on the frames. Not by converting the YUV frame to RGB and then superimposing in RGB.
This YUV argument is plain false or misleading at best.
Are you the guy working for splitted desktop systems that
s given us vaapi support for libavcodec and gnash and the vaapi wrappers for xvba and vdpau? If so thanks for your work.
Your comment (quoted below) with real measured numbers speaks a hell of a lot more than mike m.
"But minority browsers don't use as much CPU while playing HTML5 video tag data.
Are you sure about that?"
Safari 4.0.4 running in 32-bit mode under Mac OS X 10.6.2, on an iMac with a 2.16 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo and 3GB of RAM.
Using http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AwvuirSEAA and viewing the 720p version sized to 960 pixels wide (the larger size in the browser window), streaming.
Using Flash Plugin, 100-115% CPU (105% typical). (!!!)
Using Quicktime Plugin (that's in the browser via Click2Flash), 30% - 40% CPU (35% typical).
Unfortunately YouTube's HTML5 beta doesn't appear to work with anyhing but standard def videos (I can't get it to work with that video anyway). So, with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEIZ_FFmjnw
Using Flash Plugin, 65-70% CPU.
Using Quicktime Plugin, 15-20% CPU.
Using HTML5, 15-20% CPU.
Pesky facts."
Thanks for your work and calling him out on the lies.
Thank you Michael for such a well constructed rant. Rather enjoyable.
LOL @ "In the end...but in the end.."In the end some of Melanson's claims are justified, but in the end..
.. but it's far easier to post FUD about Linux inferiority in a blog and expect moneyed interests and your entrenched market position to justify doing the bare minimum to support your product on Linux. When "pesky facts" arise, be sure to paint your opponents as freetards or even better, hippies.Adobe can be doing much more -- without investing too much -- to improving their Flash Player support on Linux.

After being cooped up inside the house for a long, cold and damp winter, what is better than joining the kids in a fun-in-the-sun beach or ski resort vacation? Many places are just too hot in the summer to enjoy with young children, and spring is the best time to see them. Also, of course, there's nothing better than hitting the slopes for that last rush of pleasure before the summer sets in. Either way, you will have a great time.
Colorado boasts some of the best skiing in North America. Its high altitude environment means superb snow conditions, as well as a long ski season. In fact, some resorts will open as early as November, and close as late as June. With so many great ski areas, choosing the five best is quite a task, especially since people may have conflicting ideas about what makes a great ski area. For example, some people might love the meticulously groomed slopes of the ski areas owned by Vail Resorts, whereas others might enjoy the more natural terrain offered by Loveland. The following ski areas were chosen for their varied terrain, snow conditions, ski school, lodging at a wide price range, customer service and unique activities.
Stunningly clear water laps onto the warm, white, sandy beach. Palm trees stand proud and lofty against the clear, blue sky. Mango and papaya blossoms blend with the salty spray of the ocean, giving an aroma that is distinctly tropical. Welcome to the Bahamas, the land of picturesque water, lovely beaches and friendly people. With approximately 5,000 square miles of land and 100,000 miles of marine territory, the Bahamas offer endless possibilities for your vacation.
Learning a second language is valuable for anyone. But if you are spending a significant length of time in a location where you do not speak the language, you will be continually handicapped until you learn. Learning a new language is not difficult; even a few months of immersion in a foreign language will help you learn enough to function in many situations.

get diskusage of files (in this case logfiles in /var/log) modified during the last n days:
sudo find /var/log/ -mtime -n -type f | xargs du -ch
n -> last modified n*24 hours ago
Numeric arguments can be specified as
+n for greater than n,
-n for less than n,
n for exactly n.
=> so 7*24 hours (about 7 days) is -7
sudo find /var/log/ -mtime -7 -type f | xargs du -ch | tail -n1
du only accepts lines ending with a NUL, which can be a pain to create. This solves that issue.
This allows the output to be sorted from largest to smallest in human readable format.
This command produces the output of "du -sk testfile" in every 10 seconds. You can change the command to be whatever you want.
OSX's BSD version of the du command uses the -d argument instead of --max-depth.
Useful for analyzing disk usage. If you prefer GUI try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filelight or http://www.marzocca.net/linux/baobab/
When you've got a list of numbers each on its row, the ECHO command puts them on a simple line, separated by space. You can then substitute the spaces with an operator. Finally, pipe it to the BC program.
Built-in function in linux, should work on any distro
Found this one little more for me. This one removes the perl dependency (from command 2535).
Source for command : http://www.earthinfo.org/linux-disk-usage-sorted-by-size-and-human-readable/
using mb it's still readable;) a symbol variation
$ du -ms {,.[^.]}* | sort -nk1
somewhat faster version to see the size of our directories. Size will be in Kilo Bytes. to view smallest first change '-k1nr' to '-k1n'.
Here the pattern is '*.jar', you could pass in any pattern.
Another, maybe nicer way to do this is
You could replace sed with tr

Goodguys Nats in Columbus - Hit of the Season - Expanded Coverage
Written by Tim Bernsau on November 5, 2007 The Goodguys Nats in ColumbusThere's one thing you may have noticed about Rod & Custom: We make the rounds. Just like many of you, we go to a lot of car shows. By the middle of the summer, we've been north, south, east, west, and central-walking the aisles, visiting the vendors, scouring the swap meets, eating the corn dogs, listening to the classic rock, talking to you guys, and checking out literally thousands of great rods and customs.
With so many Goodguys events to choose from every year, we try to break up the schedule from season to season. If we get to Des Moines, Indy, and Charlotte one year, then maybe we'll hit Nashville, Kansas City, and Spokane the year after.
There is one event, however, that we've been going to every single summer. It's the Goodguys PPG Nationals, held in July at the Ohio Expo Center in Columbus.
Maybe it's the sheer number of cars that show up. Maybe it's the consistently high quality of those cars. Maybe it's the nightly parking lot parties at the headquarters hotel that are now a traditional part of this event. For whatever reason, Columbus is a high point in our summer-the hit of the season.
This year was no exception. Great cars and acres of 'em. As you'll see from these photos, especially from our Top Tin picks, the greatness isn't restricted to Fords and Chevys.
We'll be back in Columbus next summer. In the meantime, we've got these photos to remind us of the fun we had in 2007. Wanna see more? Visit the R&C Web site.

Are these flushable?
Seems like a good price, but I currently use huggies. Anyone think that these are better/worse than huggies wipes? I actually tear huggies in half because that's all I usually need so I get twice as many uses. Can these be torn in half easily?

They are not flushable or biodegradable. http://seventhgeneration.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/285/~/are-seventh-generation-baby-wipes-flushable-or-biodegradable%3F
Nice deal! 2.02 cents per wipe with shipping included. We used these on the boy and they were sufficently soft and whatnot. Tip: keep some in the glove compartment, gym bag, camping gear... I never realized how much I like baby wipes until I had a baby.
No, these are not flushable. As a flushable wipe, we use Kandoo, about 4 cents a wipe (regular price) on Amazon. They're smaller than a normal wipe, but you get used to it...

I'd say these are on par with any other name-brand wipe; they're soft enough for baby butts and they should tear in half just as easily if you'd like to generate less waste.
I use the Kirkland wipes from Costco, which I think go for around $16 for 900, plus tax. I'm under the impression that Seventh Generation are a little gentler, and it's worth a try to see if they help relieve some redness our boy is getting lately. I'm in for three, and I think I'm saving more than a tenth of a cent per wipe. It adds up, right?
You buy these if you want to keep toxic crap away from your baby's skin, not because they are cheap and work well. Each sheet is smaller than Huggies or Kirkland wipes, but they contain no alcohol, synthetic cleaners, dyes or fragrances. Check the EWG's cosmetic database for more info. http://www.ewg.org/skindeep/
Natural wipes, cheaper than Costco wipes! Woot!
For those wanting flushable wipes...those shouldn't be flushed no matter WHAT the package says. They do not biodegrade and can clog up your pipes, especially in older homes where roots have found their way into the pipes. $300 later...ask me how I know...
I'll be trying these out! I don't have a kiddo yet, or that I know of, but I do use wipes to clean off my gym gear. So hopefully these will be better then the kirkland ones I use. ps, That link above to the study on the kirkland babywipes is a good read.
I love baby wipes - they're gentler and cheaper than makeup wipes, and I keep some in a ziplock in my purse in case of spills or hot days. They are safe to use to wipe down pets, too, although I don't know how much the pets like it.
These are not hypoallergenic. They contain, among other things, Aloe Vera. I (and many others) am allergic to Aloe.
Seventh Generation Wipes? Does that mean they've been used 7 times already???
rkstevens wrote:Seventh Generation Wipes? Does that mean they've been used 7 times already???
Six times actually, you'll be lucky number 7.
Wish you had these when my daughter was still in diapers. These were the one of the only wipes that didn't give her a rash.
price wise, these look like a great deal - in for three! My last purchase of a 12 pack ran $22 elsewhere. And it looks like 7th generation is pushing a new version with fewer wipes (768) that costs more ($27 w S&S)... http://www.amazon.com/Seventh-Generation-Clear-Wipes-Refill/dp/B009D028GC Amazon has the old style 350 wipe pack for about $12...
FYI: Last Call
that was fast? Sellout?
Darn! Would have been in for 3. Please bring these back.
wow! 12.7 pounds for an order of 1.

Definition | Reasons for Procedure | Possible Complications | What to Expect | Call Your Doctor
Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) is a procedure that places a tube through the abdominal wall and into the stomach.
A gastrostomy tube provides an alternative feeding site. It may be needed to:
If you are planning to have a PEG, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Your doctor may do the following:
Leading up to your procedure:
You will be given antibiotics for the procedure.
An endoscope is a long thin tool with a light and camera. It will be inserted through your mouth, down your throat, and into your stomach. The camera will send images to a video monitor. The images will be used to find the right spot to insert the PEG feeding tube.
A needle will be inserted through the abdominal wall and into the stomach at the chosen spot. Using the endoscope, the doctor will locate the end of the needle inside the body. A thin wire will be passed from the outside of the body, through this needle, and into the stomach. This wire will be grasped with a snare in the abdomen and pulled out through the mouth. There will be a thin wire entering the front of the abdomen, going into the stomach, and continuing up and out of the mouth. The PEG feeding tube will then be attached to this wire. The wire will be pulled back out from the abdomen. This will pull the PEG tube down into the body.
A small incision will be made in your abdomen. The tube will be pulled until the tip comes out of the incision in the abdominal wall. A soft, round bumper will be attached to the ends of the PEG tube. It will keep the tube secure. Sterile gauze will be placed around the incision site. The PEG tube will be taped to your abdomen.

30-45 minutes
Anesthesia prevents pain during the procedure. You may feel some discomfort. For a couple of days after the procedure, you may have minor pain and soreness at the incision site. This may feel like a pulled muscle. Your doctor can prescribe medication to relieve this discomfort.
The usual length of stay is one day. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if complications arise.
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.
