Environmental quality has been a major public concern since the first Earth Day in 1970, yet the maze of environmental regulations enacted since has fostered huge government bureaucracies better known for waste and failure than for innovation and success.

Ari, you have such a great eye. She is truly a beauty. It's funny that one of my favourite photos of my street photo endeavours so far is a woman in her 80s wearing a simple sweater and slacks - that's it, but, WOW, what a stunner! I'll look it up and email it to you. My formula for beauty is the 3 Cs - comportment, clothes, and courtesy, in varying degrees.

Rolex Submariner Watches
The Rolex Submariner collection was the first watch to be certified water resistant up to 100meters. The Oyster Perpetual Submariner watch was later strengthened with a patented triple-seal Triplock winding crown allowing it to stay water resistant to 300 meters. The Submariner was introduced by Rolex in 1954 and only is available on an Oyster bracelet with a 40mm case. Rolex Submariner watches have a single direction rotating diving bezel with minute markers for the first 15 minutes.
Rolex was founded in 1905 by Hans Wilhelm Wilsdorf, a German national and a Alfred James Davis British native, bringing the best of two diverse cultures into one luxury watch brand. Wilsdorf and Davis Ltd was changed to "Rolex" in 1908. The name Rolex was chosen because it was clear, easy to spell, and easy to pronounce in multiple languages. Rolex today is one of the most trusted luxury brands of watches. Rolex holds an extremely high standard to every watch they manufacture. Rolex is the largest manufacturer of Swiss made certified chronometers. In 2005 more than half the annual production of COSC certified watches were Rolex watches.

Hi there, so ive been working on a type of fantasy gameplay map where players can move armies build cities etc and enjoy playing ontop the map in a 2d online setting. Anyway, ive really hit a snag in two ways and its really bothering me as i cant figure it out lol. if you can help that would be extremely helpful.
I am working in Photoshop cs6. attached is an image and the .psd file.
Problem 1:
Mountains - I cant get them to stop looking so plastic/metallic/shiny. The Shatteredworlds mountains are what im aiming for, in terms of color and texture. Is there a way to achieve that?
The way i have it now is i used a inner Blevel set to chisel soft w/ a stone pattern overlay on a mountain overlay layer. The shading is set to default with global light on.
Problem 2:
Coastline - Whenever i try to add a glow to the coastline, it also grabs the edge of the map as it interpreted the edge to be a coastline. Its actually not, the map is going to be a 2x2 replication of its self, so the edge of the map ie: bottom left or right, is a large mass of water. How do i stop it from grabbing the edges of the map when i add the outer glow layer style. Id also like to add jitter to the coast and beach area.
I use a outside stroke to outline the "beach". Id like to know how to apply a jitter to this stroke, so the coast and beginning of the beach is not so linear. I use an Inner glow to make the shore noise.
Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you all very much.

PLEASE NOTE: In return for a little wear and tear and small blemishes, you'll enjoy big savings on this authentic, well-loved style that still offers plenty of pizazz.

Top Ten Techniques to Avoid Over Eating
When defining popular health diets, it is difficult to make a distinction between health and weight loss programs as they are synonymous with one another. Listed below, Insurance Deals from Safeco, however, are the top ten most popular health diets as chosen by nutritionists, physicians and researchers in health related fields. Making the list are: Weight Watchers, Atkins Diet, Zone Diet, Jenny Craig, NutriSystem, Pritikin Diet, Ornish Diet, South Beach Diet, 6-Day Makeover Diet and the Grapefruit Diet. It is interesting that of the ten, the one which has received the most condemnation and slander, is the very one that is now coming back full cycle in popularity and professional re-evaluation.Get more information here. http://blog.mariaslastdiet.com/2012/04/what-diet-choice-makes-weight-problems-in-women-go-away.html Having been around for more than 60 years, Dr. Atkins became victim to media-hype misinformation and professional discrediting — even after his accidental death. Because the earlier Atkins Diet stressed larger portions of protein, eggs, cheese and some fats during its initial Induction phase, detractors failed to consider the rest of the diet. Fruit and vegetables never were totally eliminated, but were gradually added back after the Induction period. After debunking myths of "unhealthy" eggs, even the National Institutes of Health, the American Heart Association and the American Diabetes Association all seem to have reversed their opinions of low-carbohydrate and Atkins Diets.
The Top Five Foods That removes Free Radicals
Free radicals are one of the leading factors that cause many illnesses and premature aging. One of the best way to fight free radicals is by eating nutritionally dense foods.
Nutritionists use something called the ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) to measure how foods can protect you from these harmful substances. Here are five of the best foods to remove free radicals and keep you feeling young and energetic.
1. Berries -Many types of berries are rich in antioxidants and help remove free radicals from the body. Continue reading
Top Ten Foods That Makes You Live Longer
Breakfast-wise, oatmeal may help you lower the type of cholesterol you want less of. It can also provide your body with the dietary fiber it needs to function at its optimum best. Eggs can help your vision and keep your muscles strong.
Dinner-wise, eating fish seems to be good for people that want to lower their risk of heart disease. Pregnant women likely should limit their consumption of fish, however. If you are pregnant, check with your doctor to see what kinds of fish and how much fish you can eat.

3 Vital Tips for a Healthier Lifestyle
1. Make sure to set aside time to enjoy yourself. Life can be extremely stressful at times and you need a break every now and then. Laughing eases stress, strengthens relationships, lowers blood pressure and may even boost your immune system. So make sure to find time to kick back and have a good laugh every day.
2. Don't skip breakfast – Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Getting your fiber dose in the morning means you'll be less hungry later in the day. Also, a healthy breakfast gives you the energy you need to start a new day. Unfortunately, too many people skip it. More times than not, this is because they are rushing out of the house in the morning and don't have time for it. Even if you don't have time to rustle up some egg whites or toast, there are plenty of healthy on-the-go options such as fruit and cheese, yogurt or raisins. Click Here for more ideas.
3. Make sure to get adequate sleep – You just don't function as well when you're not rested. Everyone needs sleep, so don't ignore your body when it's telling you to turn out the lights and hit the sack. Healthy adults require at least seven hours of shut eye every night.
5 Ways to Boost Your Immune System
Staying healthy is harder than you think and in addition to raising a family and working 40 hours a week it can seem utterly daunting. It seems like someone in the office is always coming down with something and that can spread real fast in the work environment. Not to mention that it's just so easy to get worn down from time to time with everything going on.
Lucky for you, there are five things you can do that will help promote a healthier immune system:
Get some sleep. The human body needs a minimum of 6 hours of sleep, but you should always try to make sure you get a full 8 hours whenever possible. Sleep reinvigorates the body's natural immune system and is the only chance your body has to really shut down and repair itself. If you go too long without sleep, you could not only suffer mental but physical consequences, as well.
Drink plenty of liquids. The recommended daily requirement of water is somewhere around 64 oz. That could be 8 or 9 glasses spread out of over the course of the day and evening. Drinking plenty of water helps flush out your system of any nasty germs or toxins. It's also a great way to filter out your immune system.
Exercise regularly. Last month, we published an article on this site about the importance of exercise as a way of life it's also crucial to your immune system. Continuous exercise gets the blood pumping, circulating all the bad stuff and switching it for the new. Keeping an active lifestyle helps promote an active immune system.
Eat healthy. It sounds like a clich, but there is an element of truth in all of it and the fact of the matter is that if you want to stay healthy, you have to eat healthy. Getting the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables each day gives the body plenty of vitamins and nutrients necessary to fight against germs and infection.
Wash your hands. You don't need to become obsessive about it, but you should wash your hands whenever you have interacted with something that you know has been touched by countless others. The gas pump at a station, a restroom door knob, the railing on a staircase if thousands of people have touched it, you had better wash your hands before touching your mouth, eyes or any other crucial part of your body.
Your immune system is very important, but it can only do so much. You have to meet it halfway when it comes to how you conduct yourself in public. That means getting enough sleep, washing your hands and eating right to promote a healthier, stronger immune system.
Women's Health: Go Organic or Go Hungry
There are many excuses a person might come up with for not wanting to make the switch from mass-produced to organic. Some people cite the expenses as the major reason why they don't shop organic. Other people say that it's because they trust the industries over the organic food stores.
While these might be valid reasons, you owe it to yourself and your continued health to weigh both sides of the argument. There are many reasons why you should switch to organic foods and we are going to talk about a few of them today.
- It's healthier. Organic foods are typically free from all the pesticides (when it comes to vegetables) and growth hormones (when it comes to the meats). That means that none of those nasty toxins or additives are being passed onto you as the consumer.
- Organic markets support local farms. Every year, small, family-run farms are put out of business by the major industries. These industries produce more, faster, but at the cost of both cheapening the produce and passing on harmful additives to the consumer.
- Organic food is more humane. When you bite into a hamburger you bought at a fast food chain, do you ever stop to think about where it came from. Sure, it came from a cow, but how was the cow treated? Did it suffer in the creation of that hamburger you are enjoying? Major industries have a nasty reputation for brutally and needlessly mistreating the livestock under their care something you won't be hearing about in the organic food market any time soon.
And those are just a few of the many reasons why you should switch to organic. Yes, in some cases, organic food might be more expensive than the regular, mass-produced stuff you can buy anywhere but, as we've said before, it's also healthier. Another way of looking at it is simply this: pay now for healthy organic food or pay later at the doctor's office.
Exercise as a Way of Life
Be honest, how often do you exercise?
When we think about the prospect of exercising, we usually look at it as work. Exercise is work that we do to look good and feel good and, frankly, that's usually why we don't always stick to it.
Because when you get right down to it, who wants to do more work when the day is done? Especially if you are one of those people who works forty hours a week.
Unfortunately, you still need to exercise at least, if you want your body to continue to function properly as you get on in years. Exercise is very important for a number of physical and mental reasons and if you aren't exercising now, you could pay the price later. The trick is to incorporate exercise as a seamless part of your daily routine.
Make exercise a way of life, not just time you spend working and physically exerting yourself.
Based on a new study in the Journal of Physiology, you only really need to exercise twenty minutes a day to stay fit, healthy and happy. Here's how you can do it:
1. Commute to work via bike. Or jog or even walk if you are close enough to your job that you don't need to drive then consider a more active means of handling the commute. Depending on the distance and the time it takes getting to and from work every day, you could knock out that twenty-minute exercise requirement easy.
2. Use the stairs. If you work in a large office building with a lot of floors, then there are probably a lot of elevators and stairs. If your job requires you to move around the office a lot, why not just use the stairs instead of the elevator? It's a great way to exercise in the office, clear your mind and you might even experience greater productivity as a result.
3. Go on a long walk with the dog. It's a great way to bond with your four-legged friend and get some much needed exercise for the both of you. You can enjoy the fresh air and the time with your dog while getting some good aerobic exercise.
The Hot News about Hot Flashes
Most women experience hot flashes during the early stages of menopausal transition. It is often characterized as a warm feeling that spreads across the entire body. This feeling is typically caused by hormonal changes that occur during the aging process. This can affect the body's ability to regulate body temperature resulting in the hot flashes that many women across the country experience quite often.
Hot flashes carry many different symptoms, but the most obvious one is a feeling of hotness that spreads throughout the entire body lasting from around 30 seconds to a couple minutes. Another symptom of hot flashes involves redness of the skin typically referred to as flushing and excessive perspiration that can even result in night sweats.
There are, however, a number of treatments for hot flashes.
Hormone Therapy
This method involves either oral or transdermal forms of estrogen being introduced into the body. These methods have been successful in reducing the frequency of hot flashes by about 90. However, caution must be observed before entering into this treatment as recent studies on the long-term effects of this treatment seem to indicate an increased risk of heart attack, stroke or even breast cancer.
Black Cohosh
This is an herbal preparation that has become more and more popular in recent years. Studies have shown that the use of black cohosh over a short-term not only reduced the occurrences of hot flashes but brought with it none of the negative side-effects from other types of treatments. A more rigorous study, however, is still pending and not everyone believes in this treatment as much as the others.
Megestrol Acetate
This drug can be prescribed as a short-term solution in dealing with hot flashes, but it is not recommended for long-term use. Side-effects such as weight gain have been attributed to this drug making it comparatively unpopular in the list of treatments.
And there are many more treatments that can help one cope with the symptoms of hot flashes. If you are finding yourself waking up with night sweats, experiencing warm sensations that spread across the entire body or noticing excessive redness of the skin, then it may be time to consult your primary healthcare provider.
Things You Should Know Before Starting Chemotherapy
According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is the most common cancer afflicting women in the United States. About the only thing more difficult than the cancer, however, is the treatment. Chemotherapy is often used in combating this disease. It is a systemic treatment given through the bloodstream and distributed throughout the entire body.
There are a range of side-effects resulting from chemotherapeutic techniques and many of them vary in terms of severity and quantity depending on the types of medications and even the individual. Because of this, many doctors have decided to consult with individual patients and nurses to come up with a list of things patients should be aware of before starting chemo.
Below are a few things anyone undergoing the treatment should take into account:
1. The importance of exercise. You may not feel motivated to get up and move either before, during or after the treatments, but you have to exercise and move as much as possible. Exercise can help get the blood flowing through your body and it can also promote the production of chemicals called endorphins in your body. Endorphins are important for relaxation and stress relief.
2. You need to simplify your life. If you live with a spouse or family member, then it might be a good idea to start delegating chores to anyone who can help. The last thing you need to be thinking about during the treatments is the small things. Modern medicine still doesn't understand the extent of the physical impact stress can have on your body, but you don't need any extra during chemo.
3. Always keep a journal. And always write in that journal every day. Even if you don't feel like there is anything worth writing about, write down whatever you are thinking and feeling. Talk about the other patients you met during chemo, describe the dream you had when you fell asleep during treatment, whatever you want. It's your journal for your thoughts.
4. Don't go at it alone. If the hospital where you are being treated has the space and will allow it, bring someone with you. Occupy yourself with reading, games, television, conversation and any other activity you can enjoy with this person. Try not to give yourself the opportunity to dwell on your situation or the treatment give yourself a break.
5. Trust in the treatment and the doctor. Going through chemotherapy can be a discouraging time but you must try to stay positive through the experience. Most of the activities mentioned earlier can help with that. You must also trust the doctor and the treatment. And you must stick with the program no matter how bleak or uncertain things seem. There CAN be more good days than bad days.
Breast cancer is often described by sufferers as a personalized disease, but there are things every woman can do to help make the process and the treatment a little more bearable. And remember that, despite how prevalent breast cancer can be, there are more than 2.5 million survivors in the United States and the number is growing.

Naruto's School of Revenge (ナルト、仇討ち指南塾, Naruto, Adauchi Shinanjuku) is episode 181 of the Naruto: Shippūden anime.
The story begins with Naruto, Sakura, Inari and Tazuna sitting together and remembering the days of the original Team 7. The team was on a mission of having to return Mr. Ostrich to his habitat. Mr. Ostrich was very fond of pecking Naruto and Sasuke onto their heads. When travelling through what it seemed like a small city they encountered a vendetta (the challenger was fighting for the revenge of the deceased family member). The fight participants were Tsukado (challenger) and Kageki. At first look, Tsukado looked like an amateur fighter, always inferior to his opponent. Naruto said that he will teach Tsukado how to gain victory in his fight, but the training was not successful. After Mr. Ostrich went wild, Tsukado revealed his sword skills, explaining that he cannot win because he cannot look straight into Kageki's eyes. Meanwhile Kanabun and his gang organised the fight once more. Tsukado thought he could win by not looking into opponents eyes but he did not succeed. Naruto, seeing something is not right interrupted the fight. Kageki discovered that he is not the man Tsukado's looking for, explaining that he (Katazu) took the role of his brother because he believed that the murder was an accident. Tsukado believed in this story and he cancelled his vendetta. But the gang did not like this ending because they placed bets. So the fight began. Joint forces of Team 7, Tsukado, Katazu and Mr. Ostrich managed to gain victory.

If you're a vampire fiend and happen to be in Bucharest this summer, check out the exhibition "Dracula – Voivode and Vampire"–but not if you want to keep your darkest fantasies about the notorious Romanian prince Vlad Tepes. Turns out, at least according to the exhibit' curator, Vlad the Impaler, the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Count Dracula, was just a regular Medieval prince who was no more brutal than any other powerful Medieval guy. Which, to be fair, is pretty brutal, but still.
So why was Tepes singled out as a monster? Bigotry, apparently: The Western European PR machine painted the Wallachian ruler in such a way that reinforced the notion that Eastern Europeans were evil.
Interesting, but don't fret! If a quarter of the stories of Vlad's atrocities are true, he was still pretty monstrous. And, no matter what, he'll always be known as the guy who set off the original vampire craze.

SONORA, Calif. (KOVR/CNN) - You're never too old to show someone your love, but if you do it in the wrong place, you could get into trouble.
Two senior citizens in California did just that.
They were busted for having sex Tuesday, and you won't believe where they were caught.
Docs Smoked Barbecue and Burgers in Sonora is known for their great Texas barbecue.
"My favorite I'd have to say it's like between the tri tip and the chicken," said owner Rachel Shevlin.
Shevlin runs the family restaurant that cooks with love.
But it was a different kind of love that caught Rachael's attention Tuesday. It was love making, in the parking lot, in a car, in the middle of the day.
"It gets hot back here and it was, obviously, getting hot out there," said Shevlin.
She went outside and saw a couple celebrating Valentine's Day early, without their clothes on.
When police walked up to the car they didn't find a couple of spring chickens, they found two senior citizens, a 62-year-old man and a 72-year-old woman trying to spice up their life.
Police wrote the parking lot lovers a ticket while Shevlin had a good laugh with co-workers inside.
News of the senior sizzle is getting mixed reactions around town.
"Good for them! I mean, 70-years-old?! I hope I'm doing that when I'm 70," said one person.
"That's just weird, I don't know, that's all I can say about it," said another.
Shevlin isn't mad about the fooling around out front, but wonders if she'll see the couple again since after all, the guy involved was a regular customer.
"Yeah, it might be a little awkward, we might all be like 'you go deal with him, no you go deal with him,'" said Shevlin.

Alexander Johan Hjalmar Skarsgård was born on Aug. 25, 1976 in Stockholm, Sweden. He started acting at age eight when a director friend of his father, the famed Swedish actor Stellan Skarsgård, gave him a part in the film version of the children's book, "Åke och hans vårld" ("Ake and His World") (1984). A number of TV and film roles followed; by the time he reached 13, Skarsgård decided that he would not pursue an acting career. After a brief stint in the military, Skarsgård gave acting another shot. He attended Leeds Metropolitan University in London before moving to New York City to study theater at Marymount Manhattan College. After six months in the city, Skarsgård returned to ...

Members of parliament yesterday called on the Ministry of Finance and Economic Affairs to involve the House in its dialogue with banks and other financial institutions to ensure they reduce borrowing interest rates.
The first to come up with the proposal was Kigoma North (Chadema) lawmaker Zitto Kabwe who, in his supplementary question, wanted deputy minister Pereila Ame Silima to tell the House if it was possible for Parliament to be involved in dialogue with banks and other financial institutions because the interest rates they are charging are extremely high.
Kabwe said the risks which the minister had referred to were not plausible because borrowers, before getting loans, have to submit valid reports to the banks and other financial institutions.
Before the minister's response, Speaker Anne Makinda cautioned on whether Parliament could be involved in such a matter.
The deputy minister, in response, said the government was working on the matter. He however welcomed the idea of MPs to collaborate with the government to negotiate with banks to ensure interest rates are low.
However, when responding to the basic question by Temeke MP Abbas Mtemvu, the Deputy Minister said following the 1991 financial sector reforms the government stopped setting interest rates for banks and allowed such rates to be ruled by market forces.
Silima said in improving the financial sector, including cutting interest rates, the government was implementing a second generation of financial sector reforms.
He said under the reform, strategies have been devised to control various challenges facing the sector.
"The government, in collaboration with the Bank of Tanzania, has continued taking various measures including putting in place fiscal and monetary policies in reducing inflation, which is the major factor in determining interest rates," he said.

- Robb Stark: "Galbart Glover will lead the van."
- Greatjon Umber: "The bloody Wall will melt before an Umber marches behind a Glover!"
- — Greatjon Umber challenges Robb Stark[src]
House Glover is a noble house from the Wolfswood in the North of Westeros. They are loyal vassals of House Stark of Winterfell, and have their seat at the wooden stronghold Deepwood Motte. Their lands extend throughout the Wolfswood, north-west of Winterfell. The head of the house is the Master of Deepwood Motte.
- Galbart Glover, Master of Deepwood Motte, the current head of the family.
In the booksEdit
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, House Glover is a loyal and reliable vassal of the Starks. Their castle is a motte-and-bailey wooden castle located inland but close to the Bay of Ice. House Glover's sigil is a mailed silver fist on scarlet background.
Other minor vassal houses sworn to the Glovers that have not appeared in the series: House Woods, House Branch, and House Bole.
Technically, the Glovers are stated to be a "Masterly" House, not a full major noble House - which would go towards explaining why Greatjon Umber would be insulted at being commanded by a Glover. However, George R.R. Martin has admitted that he didn't really think out a full system of titles for different degrees of rank within the nobility of the Seven Kingdoms. There actually doesn't seem to be any functional difference between "Masterly" Houses, such as the Glovers and other major Houses like the Umbers. There are basically three tiers of noble family under each Great House such as the Starks: major Houses who answer only to the Great House of the region (i.e. the Umbers), minor lordly Houses who serve another intermediary noble House (House Marsh serves House Reed), and knightly Houses - unlike lords, knights do not have the power to dispense justice and executions on their own lands. Some minor lordly Houses also directly serve the Great House of the region, given that a feudal system isn't entirely a delegated hierarchy, but the ruling family gathers strength from its own lands. Thus minor Houses such as Cassel and Poole also serve the Starks. At any rate, because the Glovers answer to no intermediary lords but to the Starks themselves, and local lesser Houses in turn serve as vassals to the Glovers, there really doesn't seem to be any functional difference between the titles. Apparently their "Masterly" rank as the "Masters of Deepwood Motte" has to do with being marcher lords of a sort, responsible for governing the wild regions of the Wolfswood.
During the ironborn's invasion, Asha Greyjoy takes Deepwood Motte with her forces, holding Sybelle and her children as hostages.
- Galbart Glover, Master of Deepwood Motte
- Robett Glover, Galbart's younger brother and heir. Taken captive by the Lannisters at the battle of Duskendale.

A three-year Black female stadium worker told the MSR that she estimates at least 70 percent of the game-day workforce is Black – her husband has worked at the Dome for eight years. As a result it's safe to say that maybe three to five percent of the 63,000-plus in attendance were Black. "I'm a diehard Vikings fan, and I was born and raised in Tampa, Florida," says Sylvester Blue, who now lives in Dallas, Texas. "I've been a fan since I was four years old, and I'm 48 now. I work hard all my life and for me to get a chance to come see them live and in person, that's the ultimate for me."
J.T. Jones, who was part of a traveling group from Atlanta, Ga. admitted that his group earlier talked about not seeing more Blacks at pro football games, whether in the Twin Cities or his hometown. "We got a good price on tickets," says Jones. He added that a possible reason for the lack of Blacks at NFL games can be attributed to financial concerns. "We can't splurge as much as we want to. We pick and choose what we splurge," he explains. "You look on TV and it never looks like there are Blacks at games."
"I'm a big football fanatic. I work hard to enjoy the things I love, and football is one of them. Continue Reading →

RISING SUN, Md. (WUSA) -- The Maryland State Fire Marshal says a man intentionally set his house on fire on Tuesday night and got hurt in the process. Charges are now pending against 47-year-old Marco Adrin Gonzalez-Hernandez.
According to the fire marshal, deputies had gone to a home in the 600 block of Pearl Street for a domestic complaint and found a juvenile leaving the home. The juvenile told them that Gonzalez-Hernandez had threatened to burn the house and possible harm himself. Deputies went to enter the home but saw heavy fire through the front window so they retreated and tried to enter through the back of the house.
Authorities say the deputies then spotted Gonzalez-Hernandez leaving out of the back door. He was then detained.
The fire marshal says there was a domestic assault in the home in addition to the fire.
Gonzalez-Hernandez was treated for smoke inhalation before being flown to Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. He is currently listed in "stable condition," says the fire marshal.
It took firefighters about 15 minutes to control the fire, which started in the living room. The fire left more than $50,000 worth of damage.

Antiviral Medicines for Chickenpox
|Generic Name
|Brand Name
Antiviral medicines can be taken by mouth (orally), given by injection into a vein (intravenous, or IV), or applied on the skin (topically). Acyclovir is the antiviral medicine used most often to treat chickenpox (varicella). But other antivirals may be used.
Antiviral eye ointments are also available. They can be used on your eyes to treat chickenpox blisters.
Why It Is Used
Antiviral medicines may be prescribed if a person has been exposed to chickenpox and can't get the chickenpox vaccine or antibodies to help prevent chickenpox.
These medicines may also be used to help treat chickenpox.
Antiviral medicines are typically given to people who are more likely to become seriously ill or to have complications from chickenpox, such as:
- People who have a long-term illness, such as skin or lung disease.
- People with impaired immune systems.
- Pregnant women with serious complications of chickenpox.
- Babies born early or babies who have a low birth weight and whose mother had chickenpox.
These medicines are usually NOT recommended for:
- Healthy children or adults as a way to prevent them from having chickenpox if they have been exposed to the illness.
- Healthy children as a way to treat chickenpox.
Antiviral medicines can help protect family members of a person with chickenpox from getting chickenpox. But they aren't used regularly if a person's symptoms are not severe or the illness is not causing problems for the family.
How Well It Works
Antiviral medicines may shorten the length of illness from chickenpox, cause fewer blisters to form, and help blisters heal faster. They work best if taken right after the first signs of chickenpox rash appear.
It is not known whether antiviral medicines reduce the chance of complications of chickenpox. Antiviral medicines may reduce the complications of chickenpox, such as varicella pneumonia, in people who have impaired immune systems.
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
- Trouble breathing.
- Swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
- Seizures.
Call your doctor right away if you have:
- Hives.
- Dizziness, or if you are feeling faint.
- A fast heartbeat.
- Confusion.
- A change in vision.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Feelings of general illness (malaise).
- Headache.
- Nausea and vomiting.
- Diarrhea.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

"I love the rush of performing on stage, and watching the emotional responses from the crowd," says Noelle Scaggs the dynamic co-lead singer extraordinaire of Fitz and the Tantrums. "It's always a great challenge for me to get the most stoic person in the room dancing and shouting towards the end of the show."
Fitz and The Tantrums brought their "soul-influenced indie-pop," to the metro area when they performed club Myth in Maple Grove November 21. The L.A. based band has created a name for themselves with soon-to-be pop classics from their second and most recent studio album, More Then Just a Dream, which was released in May of this year to critical and popular acclaim. The forming of the band, much like its sound, was from a place of impulse, synchronicity, fun and inspiration. Lead singer, Michael "Fitz" Fitzpatrick formed the band from friend and fellow musician Saxophonist James King, who recommended singer Scaggs and Drummer John Wicks. When Wicks brought in bassist Joseph Karnes and keyboardist Jeremy Ruzumna to the clique of Fitz, the synchronicity was apparent and unstoppable. Continue Reading →

One Very Happy Patchy Cat
You never know when something is going to come out of the blue and knock you right upside the heart. It happened to me this morning when I opened my email inbox and found a message from a friend. She had seen a story on the news and immediately thought of me. Big cats in trouble, it said. Maybe you can help. And maybe I can. Because sometimes, once you start to think about it, a reason for that out of the blue knock to the heart becomes clear. I'm not sure where to begin, and I'm going to do my best to connect some seemingly disparate things without rambling, so I guess I'll just start typing and see where I end up.
If you've been reading Farmgirl Fare for any length of time, you know that I am crazy about animals. I mean, my daughter is a sheep for crying out loud. No matter what ludicrous or heartbreaking or backbreaking thing that may be happening on the farm, at some point every single day I feel grateful to live in a place where I am constantly surrounded by so many wild and domestic creatures.
My father, who died of a sudden heart attack when he was 40 and I had just turned 11, may have loved animals even more than I do. One of the few things I remember him telling me was that by the time I was grown up, there wouldn't be any lions or tigers or bears or elephants or other big animals out in the wild. The only ones left would be in zoos, he said. He honestly thought it would happen that soon, and it made him very sad. My father has been gone a long time now, and although his memory is never far from my thoughts, I do not dwell on the past or on what things might have been like if he hadn't died when he did. There is one thing I find myself wishing for every once in a while, though, and that is that he could see me here--living on this farm out in the wilds surrounded by animals. I like to think it would make him happy.
Many of you know that my brother (who was my only sibling) died suddenly last December 24th. He probably would have argued that he loved animals even more than me or our father, and he might have been right. He had several cats who were his best friends and constant companions for years. He wanted to be a veterinary assistant, and he dreamed of opening an animal sanctuary. He even had a piece of land picked out and people lined up who wanted to volunteer. Unlike my father, he did have a chance to see me on this farm. He stayed here for a month in February of 2005, and he didn't want to leave.
Back to the big cats in trouble. There is a place in Colorado called The Wild Animal Sanctuary. For the past 26 years, the volunteers at this non-profit organization have been rescuing lions and tigers and bears and other big creatures and giving them a chance to happily live in their natural habitats. The Wild Animal Sanctuary is being forced to close down due to lack of funds. All they are trying to do now is stay open long enough to find as many homes as they can for their 150 exotic animals. Not an easy task by any means. Any animals they can't find homes for will have to be put down. And now you might understand why their situation grabbed a hold of my heart. It's been an emotional day for me.
Yes, this is the part where somebody asks you for money. Nobody likes asking for money, let alone begging for it. It's easier to ask on behalf of someone else, though, and when those someone elses are some of the most magnificent animals in the world, I don't have a problem asking. I emailed the Wild Animal Sanctuary today and received a reply from Pat Craig, the Executive Director. This is what he said:
Thank you Susan. We are closing for sure – but the time is a relevant thing based on how much help we get. Right now we only have enough funds to stay open a couple weeks… and that isn't enough time to find the animals new homes. It will take a lot of time and money to get the animals placed, so each bit of support that we receive buys another day that we can stay open and work on saving animals. Even if all the animals had promises of new homes, it would take a couple months to get them all to their new homes – but as it stands now – there are very few places for these animals to go… and no time to seek those places.
If you want to write about our situation we would be very grateful – as it would help buy time for the animals. Thanks.
There are several reasons I made the decision to write about this on my blog. One is that simply looking at the photos of these animals brought me to tears. Yes, I am one of those people who breaks down when they see six tigers romping together in a pool. Reading about their plight had me sobbing. And from the number of you who tell me how much you care about Cary and Donkey Doodle Dandy and Patchy Cat (who was rescued seven years ago from a home where he was no longer wanted) and Molly Doodlebug and Robin and Bear and Snugglebunny and the chickens and all the rest of the critters around here, I think a fair amount of you are animal lovers like me.
This brings me to something I have been wanting to write about for a while now, and I think now is the perfect time. We are all surrounded by those in need, and everyone has their own personal charities or organizations they choose to support. Me, I usually choose animals close to home. Joe and I make regular donations to a tiny animal shelter that is run on a frayed shoestring budget by a group of incredible volunteers. Although it is always packed to overflowing with dogs and cats and puppies and kittens because they absolutely refuse to put healthy, adoptable animals down, I have literally never seen happier animals at a shelter. To some of them, this is the only home they have known--and ever will know. But I have discovered a way to be able to send them even more money, and that is by giving donations in peoples' names rather than giving them gifts they don't really need or want.
For instance, when a friend has a baby, I hand write a letter to the baby explaining that we have donated money in their name to our favorite animal shelter, in the hopes that it will help some orphan animals find families as wonderful as the one the new baby has been born into. One friend sent me a note thanking me for the thoughtful gift--and for not sending yet another baby garment that would be too small to wear in a week. At holidays and birthdays, I tell animal lovers that I am donating money in their name to the animal shelter. When a friend's beloved pet dies, I donate money in memory of their animal companion. I realize this is not a new concept. But many people simply haven't thought of doing it on a regular basis. So many of us do not need another useless gift, and yet even $10 to this little animal shelter makes a difference.
When my father died, people were asked to make donations to Audubon Canyon Ranch (a place we used to visit often as a family) in lieu of sending flowers. Those donations funded the construction of a much needed bridge on the ranch property.
It's starting to get dark, and I have animals that need tucking in. There are 25 pounds of plum tomatoes sitting on the kitchen counter waiting to be processed. And I'm hungry. But I thought this was more important than some tomatoes or my rumbling tummy. I'll end this by giving you some ways to rationalize a donation to the animals at The Wild Animal Sanctuary, but if you're still reading at this point, you probably don't need them. I could remind you that Farmgirl Fare and In My Kitchen Garden and Writings From Windridge Farm are labors of love that are available to anyone and everyone for free. I could ask you how much seeing the Daily Farm Photo is worth to you. Ten cents a day? Twenty-five cents a day? Is one of my favorite recipes now one of yours? Is it worth the price of a cookbook? And all donations are tax deductible of course.
Or you could do something really brilliant (not to mention time-saving) and take care of all of your holiday shopping right now. Imagine--done in August! Instead of presents, give everyone on your list a handwritten note letting them know that instead of getting another scarf or tie, this year they helped save one of the big cats.
Thanks so very much for your time. The critters and I are always here waiting for you, whenever you feel like taking a little e-trip to the farm. And if you choose to make a donation to The Wild Animal Sanctuary, I do hope you'll let us know. Click here to visit their website, where you can meet the animals, read all about the organization, and make a donation or buy something from their gift shop. Executive Director Pat Craig told me that "Donations can be made on our website – over the phone – or mailed in. We take Am Ex, Visa, Master Card, and people can send checks by mail or send their credit card info that way too if they don't like using the internet. We can process donations from other countries – and I just processed one from Germany and one from Bavaria… Thanks again for helping us." Their address, email address, and phone number are all on the website.
Please feel free to pass this post along to fellow animal lovers. You are welcome to put a link to it on your own blog or use any part of it you like. Click here for the permalink.
8/18/06 Update: In a Denver Post article yesterday, Sanctuary Director Pat Craig was quoted as saying, "If 100,000 people gave just $5 each, it would buy us a year." What a wonderful way of showing how every little bit really can help--and that saving these exceptional animals is truly possible if we all pitch in.
I wish I had learned about this extraordinary place sooner, as I would have liked to have visited it (they built special highrise walkways so people can walk above the animals and view them without bothering them). And who knows. If things had turned out differently, I might have ended up working somewhere like this--and absolutely loving every minute of it.
8/20/06 Update:
Many, many thanks to all of you who have responded to this plea to help the animals at The Wild Animal Sanctuary. The news of their plight is zipping around the blogosphere, and donations are being made. Several people have kindly offered to contact zoos and other facilities in their area to see if places might be available for some of the sanctuary's 150 large carnivores needing homes. Others wondered if the Sanctuary could receive assistance from organizations such as the World Wildlife Fund. I emailed Sanctuary Executive Director Pat Craig about these things, and just received a reply:
"We appreciate everything that you have done - and are very glad to see that your supporters are truly animal lovers. We have approached every organization you can think of - especially all the big animal welfare ones.
In any case, the zoos (in the US and all over the world) have a huge surplus problem of their own, so there isn't any room for these animals in theirsystem. Once in a great while one or more of our animals have been able to fill a spot in the zoo system - but in most cases - many more animals flowout of the zoo system than go in.
Tell your supporters we greatly appreciate their caring so much--and we have one good chance at saving the animals by each person spreading the word to others (just as you have to them) - as that's the only way this situation will gain enough traction to get positive results."
Let's not give up hope yet.
9/17/06 Update: Wonderful news! The Wild Animal Sanctuary has received so many donations & promises of donations that they are able to keep operating for now. Click here to read the latest closing update on their website. Many, many thanks to all of you generously made donations and wrote about the Wild Animal Sanctuary. Note: they are now accepting donations from anywhere in the world via PayPal. Please keep spreading the word! IT REALLY IS WORKING!

Video of Harry Caray assuring us Cubs will reach World Series
I wrote a post earlier this week discussing Harry Caray impressions, which sent me searching for a Harry video for today's post.
I found this gem with Caray summing up the 1991 season finale by saying
"Sure as God made green apples, someday the Chicago Cubs are going to be in the World Series, and maybe sooner than we think."
Caray says the Cubs have the ingredients for a winner, but it "requires a veteran manager because this is a veteran team–a mixture of guys who are young but still veterans."
The reference is aimed at the Cubs (77-83) managerial change after just 37 games, when Don Zimmer (18-19) was replaced by Joe Altobelli (0-1), who warmed the seat for one game until Jim Essian (59-63) took over.
As far as those young veterans on the Cubs (from youngest to oldest):
Position Players: 22- Gary Scott, 23 – Jose Vizcaino, 24 – Rick Wilkins, 25 – Jerome Walton, 26 – Joe Girardi, 27 – Mark Grace, 27 – Dwight Smith, 28 – Shawon Dunston, 31 – Ryne Sandberg
Pitchers: 23 – Chuck McElroy, 24 – Shawn Boskie, 24 – Mike Harkey,
25 – Heathcliff Slocumb, 25 – Greg Maddux
The Cubs finished the year with four straight wins, including a three-game sweep against the Cardinals. The video begins with Maddux wrapping up his 15th win of the season, a complete game, 7-3 victory against St. Louis on the season's final day.
As Caray wraps up the postgame show he reads "Total: 7-10 & 2 for the Cubs…3-6 & 0 for the Mets."
It's impossible not to love this man.
