Expiration Date:?Feb 2018
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.3 lbs (0.14 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Product Overview
- Dietary Supplement
- Hypoallergenic
Calcium bound to citric acid is a well-absorbed form of calcium. Citric acid is a naturally occurring organic acid that is able to efficiently bind three mineral molecules for every one of its own molecules. Studies have shown significantly more calcium is absorbed in the body from calcium citrate than from calcium carbonate. One study found patients with low hydrochloric acid levels absorbed an average of 10 times more calcium from citrate than from carbonate.
According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, adequate calcium throughout life, as part of a well-balanced diet and physical activity, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis later in life.
Suggested Use
Take 1 capsule one to three times daily or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.

Learn more about our current capital campaign to support vital services and programs that only Albany Med can provide.
Who in our community doesn't know someone who has been touched by Albany Medical Center? As the Lifeline for three-million people of our region, Albany Med is available 24/7/365 to meet our region's health care needs, from the basic to the most complex.
Unique as our area's only academic medical center—meaning we are a place of education, research and patient care—we provide our community with access to teams of specialists, leading-edge diagnostic and procedural technologies, opportunities for collaboration, and the sophistication of our research team.
|Patient-centered care is at the core of Albany Med's mission.
Our Value is High and Comes at a Cost
Albany Med may appear to be a "giant," but we are like other not-for-profits, we rely on support from individuals, businesses and others to operate. In fact, the cost of running a major medical center increases almost daily as quality patient care, medical education and scientific research have become more complex and regulations more and more demanding. Our community hospitals are increasingly relying on Albany Med to help care for their sickest patients, turning to us for the advanced services we provide.
The physicians employed by the Albany Medical College today represent the largest physician practice in the region. These doctors, the best in their fields, provide access to care for many area residents who rely on public insurance programs not accepted in doctors' offices because of lower reimbursement rates and high regulatory demands.
Lifeline: The Campaign for Albany Medical Center
|Researchers at Albany Med are constantly searching for new and innovative ways to treat diseases and care for our patients.
We know that our community understands the value and importance of Albany Med, and has shown its support for our missions time and time again through philanthropy. We are asking for your support again at this time as we near our current goal of $125 million. Please consider Albany Med in your charitable giving plan. During the capital campaign's early phases, our stakeholders, including community and business leaders, corporations, foundations and alumni, committed $106.8 million, including a gift of $15.5 million, the largest in Albany Med's history. As the Lifeline campaign continues and more people hear the message about the need to help support Albany Med, the positive response is expected to help us reach our goal!

Quick Sun Protection Tips
For women who don't have a lot of time in the morning, Dr. Alster, director of The Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery and Clinical Professor of Dermatology at Georgetown University, Washington, DC, recommends a practical approach. "I like products that can do double-duty — they're time savers. I recommend looking for a tinted moisturizer with an SPF of at least 15. Tinted moisturizers are great; they usually come in a few different shades for different skin tones, and they can act as a foundation, a moisturizer and a sunblock all in one."
But what a product can do and can't do may be a source of confusion to many shoppers, notes Dr. Dover, Adjunct Professor of Medicine (Dermatology) at Dartmouth Medical School, Hanover, NH. "A lot of women are under the misconception that a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 is more effective than a moisturizer with SPF 30. That is simply not true. SPF is measured by the FDA; it's a standard. So an anti-aging or anti-oxidant product that has an SPF of 15 is just as good as a sunscreen with an SPF of 15. A number of wonderful, cosmetically elegant products are available on the market today. The trick is to find one you like. The keys are scent and texture. If you don't like the way it smells, and you don't like the way it feels, you're not going to wear it."
And getting women to wear sunscreen is often difficult. "It's hard to change women's perceptions about having a 'healthy glow' or 'getting some color' versus looking pale," says Dr. Sarnoff, Associate Clinical Professor of Dermatology at New York University. "With that in mind, I recommend using a self-tanner that contains DHA (the only FDA-approved sunless tanning ingredient) and looking for one with a tint. When lotion is slightly tinted, it's easier to see where you've put it on and you avoid uneven application. I advise exfoliating before using the product, paying attention to hands, knees, ankles, wrists and elbows — places where the self-tanner needs to be applied carefully because it can build up in those areas and look darker. Use a self-tanner that advertises a lighter color, so it's not a drastic change from your natural complexion. Once your self-tan is set, arm yourself with a sunscreen of SPF 30, and you're ready to look great at the beach, and be protected against burning."

Evidently, Billy Hunter and Derek Fisher like writing letters. Because after Tuesday's labor meeting wrapped that potentially brought the two sides close to a deal, they sent out another one.
Obtained by Ken Berger of CBSSports.com (read the full thing here), basically it's this: Stand together, we're not backing down, we'll get the deal we want if we hold firm. It says, "Yesterday, the owners gave us an opportunity to back down. We refused."
Some could read that as, "Yesterday, the owners gave us an opportunity to make a deal and therefore save the season. We refused." Depends on your perspective, I suppose.
The letter really focuses on the crux of yesterday's negotiations: BRI (Basketball Related Income). Here's the player's offer that they like: They reduce their share of BRI to 52.4 percent and gradually increase that to 54 percent over the six-year deal, which would be an average of 53 percent. The letter makes sure to point out that this offer would shift an average of $185 million per year to the owners' side, which is $1.1 billion over six years.
"We feel this offer -- which would involve no rollbacks of existing contracts and maintain the current Salary Cap and Luxury Tax levels -- is fair and addresses the owners' complaints," the letter said.
The letter addresses the owners' original 47 percent BRI split, but then acknowledges the last-gasp 50-50 split that David Stern referenced in his presser.
"After seriously considering whether we should proceed down this path, our group determined not to do so," the letter said. "Recognizing all the owners' arguments about the state of the business and the condition of the economy, in our view, the owners can and should share more of the record revenues our players generate. Reducing our share of BRI by 7 points to 50% -- a level we have not received since the early 1990's -- is simply not a fair split. We refused to back down. As we have done since the beginning, we again indicated a willingness to compromise, and asked the owners to do the same. They refused."
So basically: We refused, they refused and basically, we have until Monday to un-refuse so that the season starts on time. Here's the thing: Someone's got to bend at some point. It will happen. Whether it's the players or the owners, someone's coming up or going down with their offer. It's not like there won't ever be basketball again. But the deeper it goes and once games start getting missed, the owners may try and go back to some of the bigger issues such as a hard cap, salary rollbacks or non-guaranteed contracts. So the negotiations have sort of hit a crucial point.
Here's how the letter concludes, which doesn't exactly make me jump for joy:
As the day ended, each side felt that they had gone as far as they could. We will continue to review the numbers and assess the various proposals, but we will hold firm until we can get a fair deal. While this negotiation is far from over, we cannot now say when it will resume again in earnest. For today, the players made a stand. It was the right stand to make, for ourselves and for the generations of players to follow. Hard work and sacrifice by both sides will hopefully end this soon, and the owners will open the doors and let us come to work. In the meantime, we ask you to maintain the same strength and focus you have exhibited since the beginning. We must demonstrate our unity, especially as we expect the league to announce the cancellation of the first two weeks of the season next Monday if no further progress is made. The owners must know that the players are firm, educated and resolved to getting a fair deal.By all appearances, the players aren't going to budge. Things change when money starts getting lost though. And that's what's going to happen if a deal isn't done by Monday. The stakes will be raised. It's just a matter of who's moving first. Clearly the players think it will be the owners.
As Berger has reported, the two sides are closer than they're letting on. A gap of only about $80 million per year separates them right now. That's $2.6 million per team, or in other words, the 12th man on pretty much every roster. This can be done. It should be done. They have less than a week to make it happen.

A group of fourteen students from McDaniel College in Baltimore are working to uncover the past residents of a Frederick County African-American cemetery once owned by Wesley Church. The church is long gone, but the cemetery, which was desperately in need of restoration, is still in tact. The cemetery holds ancestors dating back to 1885 through 1975. They were residents of what was once called Libertytown.
By sifting flour on the gravestones, they have discovered former church members like Alfred B. Roberts, a sergeant of the U.S. Colored Infantry during the Civil War and Margaret E. Stanton, who died in 1886 at age three. Through research, the students found that most buried only had a 7th and 8th grade education. They look deeper into the lives of those laid to rest using Census information. One of the more difficult challenges are the deceased women, who were…

LAST UPDATED: 1:35 a.m. HST, Jun 23, 2013
A 23-year-old woman sustained traumatic injuries to her leg and lower back Saturday after she fell 300 feet from the Puu Manamana hiking trail in Kaaawa, a fire department spokesman said.
Fire rescue personnel worked in the early afternoon to stabilize her so she could be airlifted from the Koolau Range to safety, Fire Capt. Chris Ah Mook Sang said.
The hiker was part of a six-person group that called for help about 11:34 a.m.
Ah Mook Sang said the woman was eventually airlifted around 1:20 p.m. and transported to the trauma center in serious condition.
The trail she was on separates Kahana Valley and Kaaawa Town.
In September a 30-year-old hiker survived after falling 300 feet from the Koolau Summit Trail.
Officials said at the time that Agnes Bryant lost her footing on an unsanctioned trail and fell in an area known as "The Notches" on the way to Konahuanui, the tallest peak in the Koolaus.
Bryant was taken to the Queen's Medical Center in extremely critical condition after being rescued and survived surgery for a broken left arm and wrist, as well as some neck and spine fractures that did not cause paralysis.
In March 2012, a man was killed after he fell about 150 feet off a steep section of the Koolau Range in Waimanalo known as "Bear Claw."

Drawing names
Do you and your siblings draw names for Christmas or buy everyone something?
I am an only child, but we have always bought things for family- cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. Last year Dh's family (mom, dad, sisters & brothers) did a Chinese gift exchange? Where they all brought something of like $20 value and traded? I dunno for me it was odd just because I've never done something like that before. The year before his family drew names.
I don't have any siblings but SO wish I did.
Nope, we don't draw name(just the two of us)..I buy a gift for his child, he buys one for mine and we call it a day.. :)

Good Morning
I live east of Stayton at about 1100'. Rain turned to snow yesterday at about 3pm and continued until dusk. We had little over 1 inch and still have 1/2+ inches on the ground today. It froze pretty hard last night so it's mostly ice today. It's clear now with beautiful blue skies and 34°F so it's not melting very fast. This is the second time we've had snow in the past week.

Texas Flag Pillows
* Custom Decorative Texas Flag Throw Pillows, Pillow Cases & Body Pillows
* FREE Personalization on all Pillows
Nobody's as proud as Texans, so show your pride yet another way by decorating with our Texas flag pillows. Choose pillows shams that show the famous Lone Star flag in its classic form, or in innovative styles. These decorative pillows add Texan themes, such as longhorn cattle, rodeos, cowboys, the map of this huge state and the names of its greatest cities to the Texas flag.
Start with a king size pillow that's as big as everything
in Texas should be. One of these Texas flag pillows pictures the black silhouette of a cowboy expertly wielding his lasso, with a bandana around his neck, a cowboy hat on his head, and spurs popping out from his boots. Of course this cowboy is set over the blue, white and red stripes and single star of the Texas flag.
As much as Texans love their history as an independent republic, they are true Americans. So give your son a pillow case that features a photo image of a Lone Star flag flying beside a USA flag from atop the old wooden entrance of a rodeo. Then select a Euro sham that's honors one of the many historic metropolises of Texas. These include an homage to the great monument of San Antonio, the Alamo, which is shown as a black silhouette, with the name colored with the pattern of the flag.
Cattle ranching is a livelihood that has brought prosperity to Texas. And our Texas flag pillows honor this with the design of the flag painted onto a black and white sketch of a bull's skull and horns. The star is set right on the blue forehead of the skull, with the snout decorated with white and red stripes. Continue your Texan decor with our Texas flag themed window curtains and banners.

Test Proctoring
A test proctor is a person or a facility that will supervise you while taking an exam. Proctored testing is required for most online courses to ensure academic integrity of the course as well as the online program.
Check your syllabus to see if your course has proctored exams.
Test descriptions, requirements, and schedules are provided by your instructor. Check your course syllabus for details.
- It is not necessary for local students to submit a Test Proctor Request Form if the course directs them to take exams at the Social Science testing lab or another on-campus location. If you wish to take an exam at the LCC Cottage Grove or Florence centers, you do not need to submit a Test Proctor Approval Form, but please contact the center in advance for exam availability and testing hours.
- For LCC Instructional Testing Services information, see the Instructional Testing Services website.
Taking Proctored Exams at an Off-Campus Location:
If you are unable to take your exams on campus and live outside Lane County, you will need to make arrangements for a test proctor in your area. It is your responsibility to find an appropriate test proctor.
- Find a test proctor in your area following the guidelines below.
- Submit the Test Proctor Approval form.
- Schedule test appointments with your proctor.
- Email your instructor to request to have exam information sent to your proctor at least one week in advance of each exam date. Tell your instructor the days and times (including time zone) of your exam appointments.
Finding Your Own Proctor
Proctors must be pre-approved and forms may take a week to process. Please make arrangements for proctored testing at the beginning of the term to prevent delays.
Submit information using the Test Proctor Approval Form. After submitting the proctor approval form, we will contact the proctor to verify contact information and academic integrity requirements of the location. We will notify you if the proctor does not meet approval. You only need to submit one proctor approval form each term (unless you need to change proctors). If approved, your test proctor will be notified and provided access information to administer your tests.
Selecting a proctor who does not meet the acceptable criteria may delay your proctor request. We reserve the right to reject any proposed proctor or any previously approved proctor at any time.
A test proctor must be a neutral third party professional employed with an educational institution or professional testing center. Tests must be administered in a professional testing facility and may not be taken in a private residence. The proctor will need to provide a secure testing environment and a computer with Internet access and monitor the student during the exam. Proctors may charge a fee for their service. The student is responsible for any fees charged by the test proctor.
Proctors must have an official email address that has been assigned to them such as @lanecc.edu, @pcc.edu, or @us.army.mil. Personal email addresses cannot be used.

DEA Mourns the Loss of Three DEA Special Agents in Afghanistan
OCT 26 – WASHINGTON, DC – The United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) today confirmed that three Special Agents were killed during a counternarcotics mission in Afghanistan.
Fascinating excerpt from Strategypage:
Fighting The Wrong War
October 23, 2009: The enemy in Afghanistan is a many headed beast. American intelligence has compiled a list of nearly 500 Taliban and drug gang leaders. If all these guys were to suddenly disappear, the violence who swiftly change to internal battles within the gangs, as lower level men fought for control of dozens of leaderless Taliban and heroin producing gangs. While you can't destroy the gangs, you can greatly reduce their effectiveness. This is particularly true of the ones that chiefly carry out terror attacks. The drug gangs have the money incentive, which constantly brings in more ambitious people. This has been the experience in places like Colombia, where the only successful strategy has been to interrupt drug production, and deny the drug gangs actual control of territory. For Islamic terrorists like the Taliban, killing the leadership is the key, because these leaders (who include those with technical skills) are difficult to replace. Thus groups like the Taliban have been destroyed in many other countries in the last two decades. But in Afghanistan, the Taliban are not the main enemy; the drug gangs are. Without the drug money, the Taliban become a troublesome Pushtun faction, not a mercenary military power that seeks to run the entire country again. That's never going to happen, as the non-Pushtun majority would go back to the civil war (that the U.S. intervened in during its late 2001 invasion).
The lower level of foreign troop casualties in Afghanistan is largely due to the lower skill levels among terrorist leaders. Despite much money and effort, the roadside bomb campaign in Afghanistan is not nearly as lethal as the one in Iraq was. The Taliban apparently misread the experience with roadside bombs in Iraq (where they failed to dislodge the foreign troops), and persist in their belief that every bomb casualty weakens the resolve of the foreign governments, and will eventually lead to the withdrawal of the foreign troops. You'd get this impression by paying attention to the foreign media. But in the long run, those foreign governments have a more troublesome problem with Afghanistan, and that's the growing quantity of heroin coming out of there. This is causing more and more grief in the West. Leaving Afghanistan alone means doing nothing about the heroin supply, and this will eventually become politically unacceptable. Most Western politicians are aware of this, even if the media that reports on them is not (or, at least, is not admitting it yet.)

Fine Art
I make vibrantly colored, meticulously drawn realist paintings in oil on canvas that combine traditional methods with a modern aesthetic and subject matter. I am equally comfortable with subject matter from landscapes to portraits and figurative works and even (though none are presently part of my portfolio) to still life and abstraction. While my fine art output presently takes something of a back seat to the graphic design it remains my greatest passion and I hope to put more energy into it sooner than later.
& Design
As a graphic designer I am especially passionate about designing for the web. I command a thorough understanding of color theory, typography, user interface and in writing valid, strict xhtml and css. I am comfortable implementing javascript and php scripts and have recently started learning these languages toward the goal of being able to more heavily modify and write my own script. With a mastery of image-editing, layout programs and general design principles I am also comfortable in the realm of print design. Assisting in my design work are my strengths in photography (see the photos for A New Leaf and Atomic Cafe sites) and writing (all the writing for Atomic Cafe's site).

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - UK Police arrested a third student in a campus arson case.
Jennings Kleeman, 18, is the third student arrested in the car fire at Commonwealth Stadium parking lot on UK's campus.
Last night police also arrested Cullen Gallaher, 18, and Ian Baughman, 19, in the arson case.
It all happened Wednesday night and officials say that an empty cardboard beer case was wedged under the bumper of a car and set on fire.
The fire was put out quickly and the car wasn't badly damaged.
The suspects were seen leaving the parking lot in a Saturn station wagon.
Police were able to make an arrest because of UK's high-tech camera system. There are more than 400 cameras across campus.
"Our new camera system that provides extensive coverage of campus was again instrumental in assisting us with the identification of suspects in solving this crime quickly," UK Police Chief, Joe Monroe, said.
If anyone has any other information regarding this incident, please contact UK Police at 859-257-8573.

Is This Information Right for Me?
Yes, this information is right for you if:
- Your doctor* has told you that you have migraine headaches.
- You have had to go to the emergency room† (ER) for a severe migraine.
- You are age 18 or older. The information in this summary is from research on adults.
What will this summary cover?
This summary will cover:
- What migraine headaches are
- Medicines to treat severe migraines in the ER
- What researchers have found about how well the medicines work
- Possible side effects of the medicines
- Things to talk about with the ER doctor
Where does the information come from?
Researchers reviewed studies on medicines to treat migraines in the ER. These studies were published through January 2012. The researchers were funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), a Federal Government research agency.
The researchers wrote a report on what they found, and this summary is based on that report. The report was reviewed by doctors, researchers, other experts, and the public. You can access the report on the right side of this Web page.
* In this summary, the term doctor refers to your health care professional, including your primary care physician, neurologist, emergency room doctor, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant.
† There are several terms for "emergency room" such as "emergency department," "emergency care center," or "urgent care center".
Understanding Your Condition
What are migraine headaches?
Migraine headaches are severe headaches that cause intense pain. They can start suddenly and get worse quickly. A migraine headache typically lasts from 4 hours to 3 days if not treated. Migraines are thought to run in families.
Symptoms of a migraine headache can include:
- A severe headache, often with throbbing on one side of the head
- Sensitivity to light or sound
- Nausea and vomiting
- Difficulty doing physical activities like walking or climbing stairs
What are additional symptoms of a migraine?
Some people have additional symptoms before or after a migraine starts. These symptoms are called "auras" and can include:
- Numbness or a feeling of "pins and needles" in your arms, legs, fingers, or face
- Problems with your vision (such as temporary loss of vision or seeing flashes of light, spots, or zigzag lines)
- Trouble speaking
- Weakness or difficulty moving your arms, legs, or face, although this is rare
How common are migraines?
- Out of every 100 people in the United States, about 12 have migraines.
- Migraines are three times more common in women than in men.
- Each year, one in seven people who have migraines goes to the ER because of a severe migraine.
- Some people may go to the ER for a severe migraine several times a year.
What can cause a migraine?
Doctors are not sure what exactly causes migraines. But, many things can trigger a migraine. Different people have different triggers, which can include:
- Stress or anxiety
- Changes in hormones (in women)
- Bright lights, loud sounds, and strong smells
- Smoking
- Drinking alcohol
- Certain foods, such as chocolate, cheese, salty foods, or processed foods
- Food additives such as MSG (sometimes added to Chinese food) or aspartame (an artificial sweetener)
- Not getting enough to eat
- Not getting enough sleep
- Intense physical activities
- Changes in the weather
- Some medicines
How are migraines treated?
Migraines can be treated at home with over-the-counter pain medicines such as acetaminophen (Tylenol®), ibuprofen (Advil® or Motrin®), or naproxen (Aleve®) or with prescription medicines from your doctor. When a migraine hits, it may also help to lie down in a dark room and try to sleep.
To prevent migraines, try to avoid things you know can trigger your migraines and try to get regular exercise. Your doctor may also give you medicines to help prevent migraines.
How do I know if I should go to the ER?
If your migraine is too severe and the treatments listed above do not work, you may choose to go to the ER. If you decide to go to the ER, be sure to have someone else drive you there.
The symptoms of a migraine can be confused with the symptoms of a stroke. You should go to the hospital right away if:
- You have an extremely severe headache (it could be a migraine, or it could be something more serious)
- You have speech, vision, movement, or balance problems that are new or different from symptoms you have had before with your migraines
- You have a stiff neck or fever with your headache
- The headache starts suddenly, like a "thunderclap," especially if you are over age 50
Understanding Your Options
How are migraines treated in the ER?
Many medicines are used to treat severe migraine headache pain in the ER, including those listed below. The ER doctor may also give you other medicines for nausea and may treat you for dehydration (a loss of fluids from your body).
Researchers found that the medicines listed below work to lessen or stop migraine pain. Nearly all of these medicines are given as a shot or through an intravenous (IV) tube in your arm. Some NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) can also be taken by mouth.
|Drug Name (Brand Name)
|About the Medicine
|Neuroleptics/ Antiemetics
|Neuroleptics and antiemetics are medicines that change the way certain chemicals act in your brain. Some of these medicines may also treat nausea and vomiting.
|Sumatriptan is a headache medicine that narrows the blood vessels in your brain.
Note: People with heart problems, such as narrowing or hardening of blood vessels in the heart, should not take this medicine.
|NSAIDs are medicines that relieve pain.
|Opioids are medicines that relieve pain. But, these medicines are rarely used for migraines because of possible side effects and the fact that other medicines work well to relieve migraine pain.
Note: Taking opioids repeatedly to relieve pain can lead to overuse. Opioids can be addictive.
|Dihydroergotamine is a headache medicine that narrows the blood vessels in your brain.
The doctor may also give you a medicine to help stop the migraine from coming back within the next day or two.
|About the Medicine
|What does research say about how well it works?
|More research is needed to know how well other medicines work to stop a migraine from coming back.
|Dexamethasone (Decadron®)
|Dexamethasone is a steroid medicine used to treat swelling and inflammation. It can be given along with a pain-relief medicine to help stop a migraine from coming back within the next day or two.
Note: Because of possible side effects, doctors may only give dexamethasone to people who have a greater chance of their migraine coming back.
|People who take dexamethasone (Decadron®) along with a medicine for pain relief are less likely to have their migraine come back than people who just take a medicine for pain relief alone.
What are the possible side effects of medicines given in the ER to treat migraines?
Researchers found that the side effects from these medicines are usually minor and temporary. Some of the medicines can cause drowsiness, so you may not be able to drive right away. More information is listed below for each type of medicine when it is taken a single time in the ER for a severe migraine.
- Neuroleptics/Antiemetics: Restlessness in the legs or body is a common side effect. A possible serious side effect is uncontrollable muscle movements, such as tics and tremors.
- Sumatriptan: The most common side effect is pain or swelling at the place where the shot was given. Other side effects can include redness in the face and neck, a burning feeling, feelings of tightness (in the chest, neck, jaw, or other parts of the body)*, and drowsiness.
- NSAIDs: Side effects are not common with these medicines.
- Opioids: Tiredness and drowsiness are common side effects.
- Dihydroergotamine: The most common side effects include pain or swelling at the place where the shot was given or where the IV needle was put in, drowsiness, stomach problems, nausea and vomiting, and an irregular heartbeat.
- Dexamethasone: Side effects were not common with this medicine in the research studies. But, possible side effects can include nausea, headache, dizziness, and trouble sleeping.
* If you have feelings of tightness in your chest, neck, or jaw, contact your doctor right away. You may need to be checked for heart disease.
Talking With the ER Doctor
You may want to talk with the ER doctor about:
- Your history of severe migraines and whether you have been to the ER for a severe migraine before
- Any medicines you have taken to treat a severe migraine in the past, how well they worked, and any side effects you experienced from them
- Which medicine might be best to treat your severe migraine
- The possible benefits and side effects of the medicine
Ask your doctor:
- Which medicine do you think might work best for me?
- How fast will it start working?
- How long will it work? Will it help stop my migraine from coming back within the next day or two?
- Are there any serious side effects I should watch for? If so, what are they?
- What should I do to follow up after I leave the ER?
- What can I do to keep from having another severe migraine in the future?
Note: Ask your ER doctor to write down which medicines you were given and how much of each you received. You can take a copy of this to your primary care physician or neurologist along with a list of any side effects you had from the medicines.
It might also be helpful to keep a copy of this information with you (along with a list of any other medicines you are taking) in case you go back to the ER with another migraine in the future.

LeBron's April Fool's Joke Didn't Fool Anyone
by Robert Littal | Posted on Tuesday, April 1st, 2014
DeMarcus Cousins had a much better attempt even if it was on wrong day. The whole point of April Fool's day is to actually fool someone.
This wasn't even close.
I will be coming out with my mixtape April 16th. Feature on it Jay-Z, Drake, Ross, Meek, Juicy J, Kendrick, Snoop, and many more. "King Me"
— LeBron James (@KingJames) April 1, 2014

Who said America is banning guns? I haven't heard it anywhere. I HAVE heard many people calling for gun control and that will come to pass but no one wants to ban guns. People want to make it just a little bit more difficult for crazy people to get their hands on them, which I am sure everyone will agree needs to be done.

|The Shanghai Gesture
Josef von Sternberg (U.S., 1941)
Set in the polyglot Shanghai pleasure dome of one Mother Gin Sling (Ona Munson), every frame crammed with orientalist clutter, Josef von Sternberg's melodrama is rich in motif if wanton in structure—no wonder it was a favorite of the French Surrealists. (Munson's cantilevered lacquer hairstyles alone are enough to transcend reason.) Among the casino's many denizens are Gene Tierney as Poppy, whose preferred addiction is not the opium poppy but the roulette wheel; Victor Mature as the object of her petulant affections, "Dr. Omar of Shanghai . . . and Gomorrah"; and Walter Huston as Sir Guy Charteris, a capitalist with big plans for the district (the tenants "seem to have power, but they'll have less when we're through with them"). When the cast of characters converges at a New Year's banquet of "stimulating dishes," complete with girls in bamboo cages, the result is a return of the repressed that would do the Surrealists proud.
—Juliet Clark

Which Month Is The Cloudiest In Seattle?
SEATTLE - You might expect it'd be hard to distinguish whether it seems cloudier in November, December, or January. Well, you'd be right.
On average, both December and January have 23 of their 31 days considered cloudy -- as in at least 80 percent of the sky covered on average through the day. November is right behind with 22 of 30 days as cloudy.
But, November can lay claim to fame as the least sunniest month, with only 2 sunny days on average -- compared to 3 days for January and December. (It makes up the balance with one extra partly cloudy day over January and December.)
Both December and January also hold the title for cloudiest month ever. Imagine this: the sun goes the entire month without an appearance. That occurred both in Jan. 1953 and Dec. of 1966.

I gotta say that live girls and deep web chat has in fact made life much better.
I am a huge fan of Latina live girls and this hottie Tanya Latina is one of the up-to-the-minute bitches that I have ever met on deep web chat.
When I met her on some live cam girls website she was grueling the sexiest black lingerie and she had the cutest smirk and she cann´t .
Wow was all i can say when my eyes gazed up on this mega hot fair custom classic she looked fucking hot in her black pvc corset, black pvc panties and pf sway persons thigh high boots now thats fucking hot.
She spends much of her time on the site, at the back her webcam and chat all sorts of guys.
When I early on clapped eyes on this girl I cann't help but get an erection the size of the Eifel Tower! kid became a sexcam host the same as she suitably can't keep her hands away from her own pussy.
She show business with herself all day long, and in any place; this girl knows no disappointment .
Now this is one infected minute cam whore who looks very sexy in her stockings and suspenders.
I can't get tolerable of webcam sex when the babes wear stockings and suspenders, particularly when they look a minute swing like these ones do in the picture.

Local groups join forces to help kids get ready for school
SAN ANGELO, Texas - What: Back 2 School Bash
When: 6 p.m. Saturday
Where: Bill Aylor Sr. Memorial River Stage, 16 East Avenue A
For more information: Call Sarah Stone, (325) 245-5019
In a newly collective effort among churches, community organizations and individuals, more than 1,500 backpacks will be given away at the "Back 2 School Bash" at the River Stage Saturday evening.
Among the groups are eight churches that will work together to pass out backpacks instead of handing them out at individual church events, as many have done in the past.
"It's all of us coming together for one purpose- the future of our children," said Sarah Stone, an organizer for the Back 2 School Bash.
Pastor Harold Watkins of San Angelo's Freedom Fellowship said the event will be a blessing for the children of the community.
"They will hear music and testimonies, get a backpack, and let people pray over them," he said, "It's going to be a beautiful thing."
Freedom Fellowship has been giving out backpacks for the past two or three years and is excited about joining other churches for the event, he said.
"To me, it's really about bringing the churches together," he said.
In addition to volunteers from each of the churches, 17 community organizations will have tables at the event to show the children of San Angelo that there are people who support them.
While receiving backpacks full of school supplies for elementary, middle school, or high school students, families can enjoy music provided by community youth groups and local bands and singers.
Several pastors will speak, and every child in attendance will receive a bible, Stone said.
Hot dogs, popcorn, and water will be served free, made possible by donations from organizations and individuals. This is the first year for the joint event and Stone hopes to make it an annual event that grows bigger every year.
"We want to make sure (the students) know they are not alone," she said. "We're networking with local churches, community leaders and organizations to come together to empower our future."
Stone intends to carry the event's theme, "No drop out zone," throughout other events planned for the coming year.
"We want to show them people care. There is always something — no matter how small it is, you can make a difference in children's lives," she said. "We want to let them know throughout the year that people are pulling for them."
While the volunteers will be wearing shirts that have all the churches' names listed on them, Stone said it is important that the volunteers all work together, not as individual churches, to promote students' success for the upcoming year.
"We're not promoting one church over another," she said, "it's not about the church. It's about letting kids know that there are people in the community who support them and want them to succeed."
"Our goal is to touch families, and empower them," said Rebecca Gutierrez, director for San Angelo's Youth Advocacy Program, an assistance system for incarcerated children.
"We realize that back to school is not just about pencils, notebooks, and paper," Gutierrez said. "They also need to get prepared mentally and spiritually, so this is kind of a back-to-school pep rally."
School can be very difficult for kids in the Youth Advocacy Program and other at-risk students.
"These kids struggle academically, then act out behaviorally," Gutierrez said. "This event is an opportunity to let kids know that the community is behind them."
Stone said it is the community involvement, not the donations of just one individual, that will make the event a success. Increasing the number of churches involved in future years will help expand that success.
"It doesn't matter how large or small the churches are, we just need volunteers," she said.
The only requirement to receive a backpack is that students must be present at the event Saturday night.
"We invite everyone to come out and see what this is about," Stone said, "and if they want to get involved next year, call me."
