Favorite Supermarket and Pharmacy items found only in Italy
When I go to a foreign country, I love visiting the pharmacies and supermarkets to find items you can't get at home. With so many items, it helps to have an idea and/or recommendations. When I'm in France I look for rhubarb jam, Spain I look for Marcona almonda, and Germany a special very strong variety of Fisherman's Friend throat soothers. Any tips for Italy would be appreciated!

Tony Conrad, who founded and later sold Sphere to AOL (NYSE: AOL), has raised funding for a new startup he is calling PumpkinHead (thus the photo at left). An SEC filing shows that the company has raised $412,500 of an $800,000 round. Michael Arrington at TechCrunch — who first noted the funding — says all $800,000 has been raised from a consortium of investors which includes About.com founder (and Sphere backer) Scott Kurnit, AOL Ventures, True Ventures and Founders Collective.
No word on what the company does or whether it will keep its scary or perhaps innocent name. Sphere, which had raised $4 million in funding, was sold to AOL for a reported $25 million in April 2008. Conrad, who is also a venture partner at True Ventures, left his job at Sphere in November, saying in a blog post that he had a "burning need to start another company." He's still linked to AOL, though, as a special advisor to AOL Ventures.

Dedication to charity recognised by Indian community
He was the first Singapore-born Indian to scale Mount Everest, reaching the world's highest peak in May.
Dr Kumaran Rasappan is already making plans to head back to Nepal next year, to continue the charity work he had started when he was last there.
The 28-year-old said he hopes to do more to help needy students in the Nepalese town of Gorkha - where he was based while preparing for his epic climb.
He also wants to take more doctors from Singapore with him on his next trip, to provide health-care services to the poor Sherpa village of Phortse.

Thread: CtrlClick Webcomic!

CtrlClick Webcomic!
Since the start of summer I have been working on my latest project, CtrlClick web comic. It's a comic about four college gamers who room together but each has their favorite system. Every now and then I toss in a comic that doesn't have to do with the story line but does have to do with current events, movie, TV, or of course gamming news.
The site address is: www.ctrlclick-online.com
This is my latest comic (as of time of post. Newer comics are below) that is in honor of the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie:

Yeah the comics are kind of confusing, not funny and the wordart onomatopeia are tacky looking. Also the concept isn't very original..there's a hundred other comics that have a similar premise that are done better than this. What sets yours apart? Not having the best art is forgivable in a webcomic, the first penny arcade strips were quite rudimentry art wise, but they survived because they have a writer with a good sense of comic timing and humor. This, I'm afraid, has neither. I agree with Frank Wade, you really need to hook up with a writer if this thing is going to go anywhere.
Also, you flogged most of your FAQ page straight off Ctrl-Alt-Del... it even says "This is the official Ctrl+Alt+Del FAQ "

No it is not a coincidence. The questions that i used were just standard question that most people ask. I just wanted to credit him so that i was not copywriting anything. So again IT is not a "COINCIDENCE". Also if you read further it says email a question if you have one. Well the site just launched so i was filling out a leget FAQ until people actually ask questions.
Thank You.

I don't think that he is refering the the questions being copied so much as the fact that your FAQ (as well as ctrl+alt+delete's) both say "This is the official Ctrl+Alt+Delete FAQ"
All you have done here is proven that you know how to use the ctrl+c shortcut. [:

I see what you mean, but webcomic faqs are so similar between comics that you really could have just put a few general questions in without having to take them directly from another site.
July 11th, 2006 #8
You have can turn this into something funny with a writer for sure. It's just not there yet - but I can add two cents for the visual part of this.
Ok, I see so many web comic authors resist actually drawing their characters by copying & pasting them into every frame, changing an arm or a hand, maybe an eyebrow. Sometimes this works if the comic is supposed to look cheap, or if it's for a comedic effect. This isn't working here.
The eyepatch dude in your 1st, 2nd and 3rd panels is obviously copied since we see the same expression and posture with.. a moved arm or a shifted pupil. The same expression just doesn't work in every frame - even eliminating his drooped eyelid would have shown more surprise in his face.
Start drawing. Lots. No more cntrl+alt+shortcuts for you!
July 11th, 2006 #9
Sorry Waronmars I now see what you are talking about and i have to say i had know idea that my webdesigner completly copy and pasted it into my FAQ. I will have to tell him to change it. again i am sincerly sorry.
Thank you steph leberis for pointing out that problem I didnt even know that i was doing that. This all a learning process for me. So thank you very much.

Kudos for doing it, but these seem really disjointed to me. I also have to agree with waronmars about the wordart, it really detracts from the comic and it's mad cheesy.

THE CUT'N'PASTE! IT BURNS!!!! Here's a challenge actually do each frame from scratch. Emotion is suppose to be acted, not spellllllltttttt!!!! out.

How much planning goes into your comics?
Do you script it first?
I'd do lots and lots of planning when setting up these comics. Especially when it seems your trying to get a laugh out of the audience.
Do some trial runs with your drawings and text... if you don't get it... or it doesn't read well.. it's more then likely your audience wont get it either.
I'd check out some other comics as referrence.. like.. oh Calvin and Hobbes. Dialogue is well timed and the drawings add to the humor.
Keep posting.

Oh, and also...
Since this is an art forum.. try checking into some forums geared towards humor writting.. or writting comp. in general. See where their advise might lead you.

Good effort man, keep at it. With a little compositional work, and the removal of that ugly word art, the jokes would be pretty good. Right now though, they don't really fit in with the art.
Watch where you put your characters' thumbs. Seeing a guy with two left thumbs really distracts from the comedy.

I admire you for keeping at this, for sure. I'm still an advocate of "stop the cutting and pasting" though. A lot of your poses, though cartoony, are stiff and awkward. Your expression vocabularly is also way limited, I don't see your characters emoting at all.
I back Blahism in that you need more planning and forethought with these comics and practice drawing. Cutting and pasting isn't a good way to get better at drawing Google up some photo ref for better poses, maybe start out by posting some model and pose sheets of yoru characters in the sketches section. Get the pencil moving, and also practice your hands.
A quick aside for webcomics, it's quality over quantity; some of my friends worry about losing their readers if they don't have a comic up EVERY week, so they bang out un-funny or rushed work... then they lose readers because their comics are un-funny and sloppy. If you put out a good enough product, people don't mind the wait.

the thing is.. collage guys playing video games is the oldest webcomic in the book
i can list dozens
so drop that.. lose the cut and paste and generate more of a plot

Seriously man... none of these are funny. You need a writer, and you need to get your own style. I look at all these and they look like the first scribblings of the author of CtrlAltDel.
My sketchbook Critical Feedback = Luv
August 8th, 2006 #24
whoah.. where to begin... okay.. i'll skip the writing part- that one has been mentioned too often...
as it was mentioned before, your characters look very stiff (i wont go into the cut n paste thing). you need to exaggerate things more. watch some roadrunner cartoons for instance.. the faces wile e. coyote pulls are priceless.
experiment with the eyebrows, the shape of the eyes, the mouth, even with the shape of the head. so far your charaters look almost stoic when they are supposed to look looney.
same goes for the anatomy/the poses. one thing both animation and cartoon strips incorporate alot is a technique called "bend and stretch". basically its over-exaggerating the body language of someone... a good refence on body language would be movies with buster keaton or jackie chan.
study how they act in certain situations (sadness, shock, fear, joy etc) and try to put those poses on paper with simple lines (stick figures). then overdo the whole thing by bending and stretching the lines. base your figures on that.
i've made a fast sketch in artrage to show you what I mean:
its not the best (used the opportunity to test that program), but I think it gets the message across.
another thing... i think you should clean up your lines.. try to vary the lineweight a bit for a smoother look. i'd also recommend not to use coulours until you have solved all the problems bugging your linework.
i think it would benefit the look of your cartoon if you'd keep it black and white using only a few lines to hint a background or using no background at all, basically because your panels look a bit overloaded due to rather bad choices in colour and shape. your strips should have their focus on the characters rather than the enviroment.
alot of comic strips use that method (calvin and hobbes, dilbert, haegar etc).
okay.. thats all for me.. don't be discouraged though... you just need some more training and a good feel for your characters - in a few months (or weeks even- depending on how hard you train) this could become something funny.
my 2 cents..
"How do you know you're good enough?" "You know." "What if you're wrong?" "You find out."

Thanks for the awesome critique VirusArtist. I sketched some sketches of one of the characters using the advice you gave for expressions.
Here it is.
Tell me what you all think.
August 11th, 2006 #26
So they are guys that are an artistic composition of materials and objects pasted over a surface, often with unifying lines and color? Or guys that attend an institution of higher learning that grants the bachelor's degree in liberal arts or science or both?
Only kidding, it is college not collage.
I kind of enjoyed the one with the flight pills, but as said before perhaps "four collage gamers who room together but each has their favorite system" is not the most original idea. You seem to be driven, and for that I have faith in you. I can see good things in your future as a web comic artist. Good luck.

August 14th, 2006 #28
good move into the right direction swimmingartist.
those varying expressions work a whole lot better now. still, you need to train those more. work on your style until you have become more comfortable with it and then go a little further... its a step by step thing.
the more training you put into poses and facial expressions, the bolder you can get. your sketches look promising.
as for the body language: it still looks a bit stiff. again I would recommend, that you focus alot more on sketching those poses first, rather than finishing them.. you canc reate alot of energy that way.
a simple training for that would be to set yourself the goal of filling 2 sheets of paper with poses only (6 poses a sheet minimum). sketch your heart out on a daily basis. you'll see the improvements from sheet to sheet. same goes for facial expressions. in the end you'll have a small library of poses and faces you can put into your webcomic.
also keep in mind that in every form of art that involves characters, anatomy is a vital part. you can't bend the rules until you know them. this mainly goes for proportions in your case. there are good tutorials for that on this site.
no matter how cartoony your characters get, they still are supposed to have a spine, joints etc (unless you are drawing a slug ). focus some training on those problems before you go into exaggerations...
thats all for me now... keep it up!
"How do you know you're good enough?" "You know." "What if you're wrong?" "You find out."

St. Catherine's Christmas Concert is a traditional way that people in Valley City start the holiday season, according to Christopher Redfearn, Director of Choral Activities at Valley City State University.
The free concert will be held Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at St. Catherine's Church in Valley City.
"As soon as you hit December, everybody's schedule just becomes very crazy," Redfearn said. "We like putting this concert early in the season so that people can get into the holiday spirit."
The concert will feature an eclectic variety of holiday music, including traditional carols like Away in the Manager but also pieces from across the world, including a piece in Russian and several in Latin.
There's also some Christmas comedy pieces thrown in, Redfearn said.
"The brass group will be doing some carol arrangements as well. People just love to hear brass choirs at Christmas. It's just kind of fun," Redfearn said.
"This concert will really be a true holiday concert," he said. "In the past it's been a mixture of some holiday music and some not holiday music, but this year it will be all holiday-themed — both sacred and secular."
Redfearn said he and his students are excited to bring back the concert for the 13th year. This is Redfearn's first year directing the concert because he just started at VCSU in the fall.
"We just came off of our fall performance tour to the Bismarck area. We performed at high schools there, and performed a concert at a church there on Monday evening," Redfearn said. "Now we're bringing that show basically back to Valley City."
The concert will feature not only the choirs but the quantum brass quintet, which is the university's student brass ensemble.
"They will be joining us on a couple numbers," Redfearn said.
The concert choir and university seniors, which is a chamber orchestra group, which will be doing works that fit their size.
"One of the pieces that we're doing includes the organ and the brass and the choir. It's very big, and the music for the chamber group is a little bit more intimate," Redfearn said.
"It's a great start to anybody's holiday season," Redfearn said.

In a vote that should surprise absolutely nobody, Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez was named the phoniest player in MLB.
232 players responded to Sports Illustrated's survey asking them to name the phoniest player in baseball. These were the results:
Alex Rodriguez, Yankees 3B 26%
Nick Swisher, Yankees RF 14%
Nyjer Morgan, Brewers CF 11%
Brian Wilson, Giants P 9%
Brandon Phillips, Reds 2B 5%
According to SI, Swisher, Morgan, Wilson and Phillips were among the top six vote-getters for the distinction of baseball's most eccentric player. They also note that the bulk of the votes for A-Rod (64%) came from players in the American League, and that most of those (44%) came from his rivals in the AL East.
You may recall that players also voted A-Rod the most overrated player in baseball. I'm starting to get the feeling that Sports Illustrated is just creating questions to pick on the Yankee slugger.
Now if you're in disbelief and actually wondering why Alex Rodriguez was named the phoniest player in baseball, look no further than this, or this, or this.
Not only is he the phoniest, he should give back all the cash he made off of steroids as all those who took should do. Cabrerea and Colon are just a tip of the iceberg,
No shock. Up here in the Pacific NW we have known this since 2000.
Well, as a Ms fan since day one, I still remember clearly the circumstances of ARod's departure from Seattle - he lied then and he's been lying ever since. Too bad, he was good enough he didn't need to do that, eh?
HMM. Interesting i don't see any of the White Sox players on here. The bulk of them are the most phoniest i've ever seen.
I'm also disappointed there's only two Yankees, and NO RedSox on this list. I must be missing something. LOL
S after everything is said are any actions to be taken aginst these meatheads.Teamowners, sports writers and fans should put up or shut up. If not than who really cares and alll we are doing is banging our chicklets or gums
his money and all the records he holds --- just wish your team had him.
I am a Yankee fan.
I'm a Yankee fan too, and I'll bet that A-Rod and Swisher wouldn't come in #1 and #2 phoniest players if the survey was taken at Yankee Stadium!
The man is a baseball player, a darn good baseball player, but a baseball player. So he left the Mariners for big bucks at the Rangers, then moved on to the Yankees where his skills are on the line every time he steps on the field and his personal life is daily fodder for the hyper NY media and fans. Give him a break. He might be "phoney," whatever that means in a baseball player, but sounds like a lot of plain old green eyed monsters to me!
Wow. What a stretch.
He is just an average player making a superstars salary. Since he had to stop taking ped's, his numbers and health have suffered big time. You can have him.
I may not be a big fan of A-Rod's but the three reasons linked to as him being phony are kinda lame...and none actually show him as phony.
This just in...Sports Illustrated announces the winner of THE MOST CLASSLESS player in major league baseball. It's a 232-way tie between all the pathetic losers who actually took the time to fill out a ballot asking such a stupid, mean-spirited, and pointless question. Congratulations to them all! At least, they're not phonies!!! Oh, wait...
SI has sunk to the category of TABLOID. It has lost its integrity as a legitimate sports publication
And any player who allows himself to be exploited in such survey is a fool.
This "phoniest" labeling of any professional player is nothing short of a vicious slur. SI must be staffed with idiots. SI is deserving of a more appropriate name: Slurring Idiots.

imgBtn.Attributes.Add("onclick", "Response.Redirect(\"Default.aspx\")");
Can anyone help me here!
Any other solution for this problem is helpful.
(Note: I have to specify the url here cuz it is particular depending on a variable)

Have a try like,
imgBtn.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:RedirectWindow();");
Modify JS function RedirectWindow() like,
function RedirectWindow()
window.location = '<some URL>';

leilaimgBtn.Attributes.Add("onclick", "Response.Redirect(\"Default.aspx\")");
This is not valid. Response.Redirect is a server side script which can't be executed on client side. You can attach event handlers for this dynamically created image button. See the code below.
ImageButton imgBtn = new ImageButton(); imgBtn.Click += new ImageClickEventHandler(imgBtn_Click); private void imgBtn_Click(object sender, System.Web.UI.ImageClickEventArgs e) { //do your response.redirect here }
Hope this helps

instead of that I put imgBtn.Attribute.Add("onclick", "javascript:window.location('<default.aspx>')") and it didn't work.
Nov 06, 2007 12:32 PM|leila|LINK
I have to send the url as a parameter of the click event.
How do I do that?

Simply pass the URL in your query string. So when the event fires you would do something like this:
private sub imgBtn_Click(object sender, System.Web.UI.ImageClickEventArgs e) handles imgBtn.click
end sub
private void imgBtn_Click(object sender, System.Web.UI.ImageClickEventArgs e)
response.redirect(request.Querystring["SomeURLParameter"]) ;
hope this helps

I'm doing this with c#.
The issue is that the button is used more than once and each should redirect to a particular page. In fact, in a loop of 5 let's say, I create tis button dynamically and set the redirect url of it. Something like:
for (int i = 0; i < companyImage.length; i++)
ImageButton imgBtn = new ImageButton();
imgBtn.click should redirect to companyImage.pagename which is different for each comapnyImage

I have modified your code a little:ImageButton lb = new ImageButton();
lb.Attributes.Add("onclick", "location.href='default.aspx';return false;"); this.Form.Controls.Add(lb);
It will work perfectly.

Property Details
2 Bedrooms - 3 Baths - (Sleeps 5)
Villa Bella Malibu is located on Malibu's Western Shore which is a recreational Mecca and natural wonderland. The Villa overlooks the renowned County Line Beach and surf break made famous in song by the Beach Boys. The athletic, the adventurous and those with a passionate zeal for the out-of-doors love to explore this pristine natural play ground.
Villa Guests can intermingle with sun worshipers, surfers, paddle boarders, kayakers, scuba divers and colorful kite-surfers performing high-flying acrobatics just a block and a half down the road. The waters of the vibrant underwater realm consistently score A+ ranking from the Heal the Bay Society. The local reef is a natural aquarium of colorful, and abundant sea life.
ENTERTAINMENT and at-the-Villa SPA DAYS: Many guests tell us they prefer to completely relax and seldom go out at all! They enjoy reading a good book from the well-stocked library, sun bathing in the garden, watching the humming birds drink from the carved stone fountains, soaking in the totally private, ocean-view, outdoor Spa, taking a therapeutic Steam Shower or a romantic Spa bath in the magnificent Master Bathroom's over sized oval tub. They equally love viewing films and Television from one of the three large flat screen TVs with surround sound, DVRs with tons of premium channels, plus a collection of over 220 DVD's.
The Villa offers a Wi-Fi computer system with hook ups for Mac or PC users for those who need to stay connected as well as a house phone with free calling anywhere in the US or Canada.
CELEBRITY SIGHTINGS AND SHOPPING: Villa Bella Malibu is just minutes away from the heart of Malibu's downtown in close proximity to a tempting array of local pastimes: celebrity watching, browsing designer boutiques at the eco-chic Malibu Lumber Yard, taking tthe kids to the playground at Malibu Country Mart, dining at Nobu, seaside cocktails at Geoffrey's, strolling the sculptured gardens and antiquity collection at the Getty Villa, wine tasting at Rosenthal's Vineyard or perusing art exhibitions at Pepperdine's Weisman museum.
GREAT (CLOSE-BY) THINGS TO DO: There are amazing hiking trails with grottos and waterfalls and the trailhead to Mount Allen (the tallest mountain in the Santa Monica Mountain chain) is a favorite close by destination for hikers.
Guests also enjoy boating excursions from the Malibu pier including deep sea fishing, sailing or whale watching. You can deep sea dive or go snorkeling off the local reef located only 2 blocks from the house or take a day trip to Santa Barbara, shop, dine, catch a show and return to the Villa in just over an hour's drive time.
Guests claim that it is virtually impossible to be bored or unhappy here. They enjoy cocktail hour at the end of a well spent day watching the setting sun sink down behind the Channel Islands from the Villa's expansive ocean viewing decks and loggias.
This is truly the paradise you have been longing for without the inconvenience of being confined to an island. YOUR DREAM VACATION IS JUST A CLICK AWAY.....

From the Owner
"We lived in the neighborhood for 15 years before being able to buy the land we had fallen in love with. After traveling in Italy and France extensively we wanted to incorporate the best of what we saw there in our own Villa on this special land. We wanted old world character as well as up-to-the-minute conveniences and amenities. We employed many artisans to finish the interior spaces and incorporate arcitectural elements we have collected over the years. Buildin was a real labor of love for us and we look forward to having you as our guests someday."
Activity and Interests
Villa Bella Malibu - IMAX-LIKE PANORAMIC OCEAN VIEWS & Architectural Magic! Old World character is built into every nook and cranny. Ideally located across from Malibu's world class surfing beach and very close to the most pristine swimming beaches in all of Southern California. There is a neighborhood fish restaurant where you can eat outdoors or indoors & watch kite surfers leap into the air performing their feats of wonder and surfers hanging ten and riding the curl of the perfect waves. There are hiking trails with grottos & waterfalls nearby. It is 40 minutes to the Getty museum. You can take a boat from Malibu pier to go deep sea fishing or whale watching. You can deep sea dive or snorkle off the local reef only two blocks from the house or take a one-hour drive to Santa Barbara for the day and shop, have dinner and catch a show. The Camarillo airport for private airplanes and the world-famous Camarillo Mall Outlet Stores for phenomenal shopping are only a 20 minute drive.

Hard to find organic food
Hard to find organic food
I am new here.
I am finding it very tough in my area to find organic fruits, vegetable, nuts, seeds, etc.
I did find a store that sells organic flaxseeds.
Just wondering how important it is to have the organic foods in the RD???
I suppose it is better to be raw and just wash the food really well, then to eat all the processed foods with all the chemicals in it anyway.
It's waaaay better to be raw even if it isn't organic than to eat processed food. Organic is preferable of course though. I also have trouble finding alot of organic produce. I can easily find all the organic seeds, oils, etc. online. Also, if you like nuts they can be found organic online as well.
Eat as best as you can and it will be a huge improvement! Good luck and welcome!
Whereabouts do you live, rawcanadian? If you have no access whatsoever to organic produce, then would you consider ordering some organic seeds from a reputable source and sprouting them? You could even get a greens sprouting kit and grow your own microgreens, which are delicious.
My supermarket sells some organic produce, but at a high price. I try to buy organic when I can, but the bulk of my produce is not organic. I wash everything well. For highly waxed fruits like apples and oranges, I give them a scrub with a paste of lemon juice and baking soda, then rinse really well. I'm sure it doesn't remove everything, but my apples no longer have that sticky or powdery feel.
It is definitely better to eat a varied diet of raw foods that are not organic, than to eat highly processed foods of any kind, even organic. There are packaged foods that are made from organic ingredients, but it doesn't mean they are healthy. Eat as high raw as you can, based on what's available, period.
i agree it's better to be raw than cooked organic. BUT, remember you are a valuable to your super market. try going to customer service and requesting they stock organic foods. this is a growing trend and i doubt they will deny that. it may take a while, but keep asking (heck, get your friend to ask too!)
I live in the Niagara Region of Ontario.
I was looking through a flyer today,and saw that A&P sells some organic fruits like apples and pears.
We also have a Zehrs and I live about 20 minutes from the US border. It doesn't look like I will find all the fruits and veggies in one store, but I will just keep looking, and try to shop at the stores that do carry some.
You live in the Niagara region yet you can't find organic produce??? I realize that winter is approaching, but what about farmer's markets? They may not be certified organic, but local farmers will tell you how they grow their produce, if you inquire. They tend to use as few pesticides as possible. As for A&P and Zehrs, both are part of national chains and should carry at least some organic produce. I live in the Windsor area of Ontario. As a transplant from Toronto, I've certainly found that my Zehrs and A&P have far less variety of organics than in T.O., based simply on demand. But, the stores won't start carrying more organics unless customers request them. There's nothing a store likes less than throwing out rotten produce because nobody bought it. A year ago, the organic section of my Zehrs was half the size. It's growing all the time, as people slowly catch on to the idea that some things are worth paying extra for.
Don't bother going to the US to find organic produce. Even if there's a Whole Foods beckoning you, you won't be able to bring any produce back to Canada. Specialty items that are packaged can be sourced there, but your produce will be confiscated at the border, if it's found.
The Niagara Region is a big area to cover. I will keep searching for farmers that sell it, but there seems to be no easy solutions. Everybody is hooked on processed foods, and going to the local supermarkets proves this. There is a food basics about 1 minute away, with a big market section, but no organics. I will let the stores know about my concerns, it may help.
have you tried searching on localharvest.org? from my initial search, it shows several farms in your area: http://www.localharvest.org/search.jsp?st=109&t…
check it out! :-)

signal is evaluated and to determine the possibility that the ingredient caused the adverse effect noted (using the guiding principles outlined later in this chapter and discussed in detail in the chapters that follow).
FDA is likely to receive or become aware of a variety of signals suggesting potential risks to human health with the use of a dietary supplement ingredient. Signals may come to FDA's attention and thus be "detected" through notice of regulatory action taken by other countries regarding a specific dietary supplement, through routine monitoring of medical and scientific literature, directly through it's own Special Nutrition/Adverse Event Monitoring System, or through consultation with experts. FDA may also become aware of signals indirectly through reports in the media, through new data from animal experiments suggesting a specific risk, or through information provided by consumer protection advocacy groups. Signals can thus come from many sources and originate from many different types of scientific data. Given the significant number of dietary supplement ingredients, FDA's attention should focus on signals that indicate a serious3health problem may result from ingestion of a dietary supplement ingredient.
In this first component little is done to evaluate the quality of the data because the focus is simply on signal detection. While some signals may result from concerns expressed by other expert bodies, such as those described in Chapter 2, or by case reports of adverse effects, the quality of the signal is not reviewed until the second component of the process (initial review of available information). The quality of the information behind the signals detected will be highly variable and in some cases may provide only weak evidence or be of little use or credence. Nonetheless, detecting these signals requires the attention of qualified professional staff at FDA and will result in a reaction by FDA (even if the reaction is only to consider the signal of little importance, as described in the next component).
"Serious" is defined as any experience resulting in any of the following outcomes: death, a life-threatening adverse experience, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, a persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect. Important medical events that may not result in death, be life-threatening, or require hospitalization may be considered serious when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, they may jeopardize the individual and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes previously listed (in accordance with 21 C.F.R. § 600.80 [2002] and 21 C.F.R. § 314.80 [2002]).

I just think it would be more fun to see more chang bop style setups out there so that if per pvp sake or even npcs that have naturally high damage resistance to plasma that it doesn't limit the KDF so much because its becoming a lot like KDF and Science officers hand in hand where every week we see another nerf to both.

nvidia driver crash when starting X
I have RedHat 9, XFree 4.3.0, GeForce 2 MX/AGP/SSE and nVIDIA 1.0-5336 driver.
Up until for a few days ago everything worked perfectly. When I booted the nVIDIA logo showed up and then the input prompt for gdm came. First the computer switches screen mode from textmode to the mode in which the logo is showed then it switches again to 1024x768 16 in which the prompt is shown. Then I changed DefaultDepth in Section "Screen" and Depth in SubSection "Display" in XF86Config from 16 to 24. Then everything went to hell. Now I can *sometimes* start it like before. In about 10% of the cases it works. But most of the time I only get a white screen when the nvidia logo is supposed to be shown. Sometimes only a segment of the screen is white and the other is black, it looks like the driver stops drawing the frame in the middle and then crashes. And I have to do a cold reboot because no ctrl+alt-kombinations is responding.
So first I tried to change the depth back to 16, but I still continued to get the white screen. Then I upgraded to 5336 which didn't solve the problem either. But changing driver from "nvidia" to "nv" worked, but ofcourse now I don't have any 3d acceleration. Fiddling with Option "NvAGP" hasn't solved my problem either. Beginning to worry that my card is fried.

Are there any shade-loving plants that make good cut flowers?
"I'd like to start a cut-flower border, but my yard is quite shady. Are there any shade-loving plants that make good cut flowers?"
Unfortunately, few shade-loving plants produce good cut flowers. The best types include astilbe, masterwort (Astrantia major), monkshood (Aconitum), coral bells (Heuchera), and cardinal flower (Lobelia cardinalis). If your garden receives some direct sun, you might be able to grow more traditional cut flowers, such as gerbera daisy (Gerbera), lilies (Lilium), or blazing star (Liatris). However, when grown in the shade, these plants won't provide as much show as they would if grown in the sun.

Volunteers with the Thane-based Plant and Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) came across a shocking sight on Monday night at Dombivili (E).
Two cows were found in serious condition in a cowshed owned by the Shri Gyaneshwar Math Trust near Shiv Temple Road. The trust runs temples and cowsheds in the Dombivili area.
"At around 10 pm, I received a distress call from residents living near the cowshed," said Nilesh Bhanage, PAWS general secretary. "One cow had delivered a calf prematurely on Sunday. It had a prolapsed uterus, and was in urgent need of surgery. Another cow was writhing in pain, as it was paralysed and couldn't stand." An inspection of the cowshed revealed about 35 animals with signs of neglect.
"There was no water for the cows, the floor was damaged, the drainage system was not working, and there was cowdung everywhere," said Vishal Kantharia, a PAWS volunteer. "Many cows were coated in cowdung, and they were tied to a very small leash, limiting movement."
After an hour of protests led by locals, Bajrang Dal activists and animal volunteers, at 3 am, a complaint was lodged against the trust at the Ram Nagar police station. "We are following the case, and action will be taken against the offenders," said the police.
At around 5 am on Tuesday, the two cows were transferred to BSPCA Hospital at Parel. "The cows had obviously been ill-treated," confirmed Diana Singh Roy, BSPCA executive committee member. "One died immediately after hospitalisation, whereas the other had a serious fracture. It is so serious we cannot risk hoisting it using supports because its hind legs will not withstand pressure."
PAWS volunteers are determined to fight for animal rights.
"I have written strong letters to the trust, the Animal Husbandry Department at Mulund and the Animal Welfare Board," said Bhanage.

March 18, 2014
The Ashe County Sheriff's Department, alongside most of the state's 100 counties, will participate in Operation Medicine Drop, sponsored by Safe Kids North Carolina.
From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursday, March 20, deputies will be at Ashe Services for Aging collecting expired prescriptions, preventing them from being used or getting into the hands of children.
"Right when you walk in, we will be there with a couple of tables," said Phil Howell, detective with the Ashe County Sheriff's Department. "We will have all kinds of poison control magnets and brochures they can take with them."
Howell said the event is part of National Poison Prevention Week, which runs from Sunday, March 16 to Saturday, March 22.
Over the four years the week-long event has occurred, Operation Medicine Drop has retrieved and destroyed more than 52.8 million dosages throughout North Carolina. Howell said during these events, every pill is accounted for, so they can keep track of the medications as closely as possible.
"We even see what the pill looks like, find out what it is and put it into an (Microsoft) Excel spreadsheet," Howell said. "We know what we have and what amount."
But where do they go? the ACSO has a detailed process on how they handle the medications they receive.
For this event, the department will send the medications to the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation. For other medications they receive throughout the year, it's stored away and eventually sent to Charlotte.
"We keep everything that is collected here in one location where it is locked in barrels," Howell said. "In December, we take them to Charlotte to an incinerator. It's a large-scale melting shop."
Because of the chain of custody, Howell said, deputies have to accompany the medications when they are sent to the incinerator. In 2013, the department brought down four barrels, the most the department has collected.
Part of that has to do with the ACSO now able to allow people to anonymously bring in medications to their building.
Howell said last year they were involved with seven different events, but with the addition of a drug box in the Sheriff's Office, they now take the collections year-round.
"With drug boxes, anybody can bring medications in and we don't ask any questions," he said. "They drop it into the box and then they can leave."
Sheriff James Williams said anything involving pharmaceuticals can be brought in.
"What we have the most of is people that have folks who have recently passed away from cancer," he said. "They have huge amounts of high scheduled (prescribed) narcotics and painkillers and their families don't know what to do with it."
Howell said the number of dosage units received at events has decreased drastically, since people are bring the medications to the drop box.
"The numbers in our events were starting to go downhill," he said. "In the last event we held, we got 1,000 dosage units and we normally get between 20,000 and 40,000 during an event. It's dwindled because everybody is bringing them here."
Another reason to drop the medications off at the event or in the drug box located inside the Sheriff's Office, is to prevent water contamination by people who may flush the medications or drop them in a sink.
While the drug box has not been advertised by the department, the prescriptions keep rolling in.
"All of the hospitals and small doctor's offices know what we have put here and they have been referring everybody here," Howell said. "That thing stays full out and we're getting slammed. It hasn't even been advertised."
The event is done by the County of Ashe, the Ashe County Sheriff's Department and the National Committee for the New River.

A Co Down man has said he had been standing only metres away from the scene of the Boston Marathon blast a short while before the explosions.
Thomas Wright from Saintfield in Co Down told the Belfast Telegraph he was standing watching the finish of the race close to where one of the blasts happened.
"I was on my lunch hour and hopped on my bicycle and went down to see the finish of the race about half a mile from my office," he said.
"I'm not a runner and didn't have anyone I knew running in it, I just went to see the spectacle.
"I was standing about five metres from where one of the blasts happened, but left about an hour before the explosions, so in that sense I had a lucky escape.
"If I had stayed on I'd have been right in the middle of it."
He said he hadn't heard the bombs going off.
"The first I knew about it was when colleagues started getting text messages saying things like 'hope you're OK' so we turned on the news and that's how we found out," he said.
He said the bombs came on what had been a beautiful day.
"It's Patriot Day and a holiday people were out and having fun when this happens."
Mr Wright has been living in Boston for the past few years and his office is close to the site of the bombs.
"I'm standing in my office now and can see down to the where the bombs went off.
"There is traffic chaos and many roads have been been closed off - all you can hear are sirens wailing."

Kochi port is emerging as a major cement import hub with Malabar Cements expressing interest in setting up a million-tonnes-a-year facility and Zuari Cements finalising a 30-year deal with the Cochin Port Trust (CPT) this week.
CPT sources said that while Malabar Cements looking to set up import facilities, major players in the market such as Ambuja and UltraTech Cements had already initiated activities.
The port trust recorded a cement throughput of 3.5 lakh tonnes the previous financial year.
Zuari Cements had leased 2.4 hectares through a tender-cum-bidding process, in which two other players were in the reckoning. Kochi port had received Rs.50 crore as upfront payment for the facility that would be operational in about two years, sources added. It was learnt that Zuari proposed to handle between three and six lakh tonnes of cement a year in a staggered manner and intended to export cement to countries such as Male and Sri Lanka.

Philippines surprises with 7.1% GDP growth in Q3; more jobs, better incomes seen
popular .
MANILA, Philippines—The Philippines beat expectations in the third quarter with 7.1 percent growth in terms of gross domestic product (GDP), ahead of other economies within Association of Southeast Asian Nations. The country's top economist said this would translate to more jobs and better incomes for Filipinos.
The third-quarter performance of the Philippines was way above the market's media forecast of 5.4 percent, Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Arsenio Balisacan said. Indonesia was the second-best performer in the Asean with 6.2 percent growth, followed by Malaysia (5.2 percent), Vietnam (4.7 percent), Thailand (3 percent), and Singapore (0.3 percent). On the other hand, China registered a 7.7-percent GDP growth in the same period.
Balisacan said he expected economic growth momentum to continue in 2013 as government has been working to ease the cost of doing business and as more infrastructure projects go into construction, spurring dollar inflows that might help ease the strengthening peso.
Year-to-date growth is already at 6.5 percent with services and industry (except mining) still driving growth. Officials said this meant that full-year growth would likely beat the target of 5 to 6 percent and move towards the previously "aspirational" 7 to 8 percent range needed per year to spur employment and curb poverty.
A strong BPO (business process outsourcing) sector, booming construction, increased consumer and government spending, and external trade contributed to the highest quarterly growth since the third quarter of 2010, National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB) Secretary-General Jose Ramon G. Albert said.
Relatively stable prices, steady inflow of remittances, and rebounding exports supported growth, according to the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA). While export receipts of semiconductors and electronic data processing equipment contracted, both items contributed recently to increased imports, which might mean that manufacturers have been "stocking up" on intermediate inputs in anticipation of recovery in the global demand for electronic products, NEDA said.
Property development due to growing demand for homes and office spaces (mostly due to a strong BPO outlook) helped push development, NEDA said, as did public road and irrigation projects. "Most of these (government) projects were implemented outside NCR, in keeping with our objective of inclusive growth," Balisacan said.
Agriculture also fared better in the third quarter than in the four previous quarters with increased rice and corn outputs as part of efforts for food self-sufficiency. The weak fishery sector has become a concern, however, Balisacan said.
Trade Secretary Gregory Domingo said in a phone interview that he was "not surprised" with the 7.1 percent growth for the third quarter because the country was coming from low growth base. In the third quarter of 2011, the economy turned sluggish as exporters and other contributors to the economy felt the impact of the triple tragedy in Japan and the flooding in Thailand earlier that year.
"Nevertheless it is good to post this level of growth for the third quarter. We will continue to help our business people with shared facilities, simplifying and shortening the process of starting a business, and educate entrepreneurs as well as students on how to take advantage of free-trade agreements.
The Makati Business Club (MBC) lauded the strong third-quarter performance. "MBC and the larger business community welcome yet another positive development for the Philippine economy despite continuing global challenges. Good governance is paying off. President Aquino and his economic team must be lauded," MBC executive director Peter Perfecto said via text message.
