Hannibal by LivioRamondelliWatch

Here's a quick digital painting I did for fun in honor of NBC's Hannibal.
Hello dear artist! I would love to use this piece in a post on my blog (acollectivemind.com) about transformative art and fanworks. I would, of course, give you credit and link back to this page. I want to make sure that you and your art are well represented online. If you do grant me permission, please let me know about your preferences for credit. If that is something you would be willing to do or are vehemently against, please email me at email@example.com
Hi! Thanks for the message. I'm all for it, just please credit me like you said! Thanks for asking, I appreciate it
Fan of the show and I love this painting. Awesome Work.
Interesting work
amazing. I like it, really.
Nice work.
"There will be a reckoning Dr. Lecter" EEEP!
Amazing job mate, captures the horror of really well. <3

Now that's a creepy image, and well done. It's a book cover ready to go.

Sometimes you really have to question the sanity of whoever it is who comes up with these bank robber nicknames. Our suspect is a gaunt, frail, possibly sickly white woman in her 40s. She's 5'4'' and weighs only 110 pounds. And because she dresses like she rolled through a Goodwill covered in Stick-um, she has the unfortunate distinction of being compared to human gerbil Robin Williams dressed in drag.
Crime Stoppers is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to her arrest. There's no word yet on how much more money they're willing to pony up if you can also help them solve the case of the run-by fruiting.

Lady Eagles fall to Placer, 62-31By: Nick Pecoraro/Telegraph Correspondent
Vista del Lago's girls' basketball team has seen better nights than the one that they had on Tuesday. The Lady Eagles will be looking forward to putting the 62-31 beating at the hands of Placer High in their rearview mirror.
Turnovers killed Vista, especially in the second half. Placer forced 16 takeaways—10 in the third quarter alone—and it haunted the Lady Eagles. Placer's defense held Vista to 12 second-half points (just three in the fourth on three free throws) in dealing the Lady Eagles their second consecutive loss in as many nights.
"(Placer) ran their stuff crisp. They have a good coach and a good program. They looked like a good, tight team," said first year Vista head coach Marty Benjamin.
Senior center Becca Stephens led the Lady Eagles with 12 points, six rebounds and three blocked shots.
The Lady Hillmen took a firm command early in the first quarter, hitting seven of their initial eight field goal tries, en route to a 13-2 run over the game's first four minutes. Placer's Elena Daniel was 4-for-4, scoring eight of her team-high 12 in the opening period.
Placer's deep rotation shot 45 percent from the field, including connecting on half of its 3-point attempts. Vista was only able to manage 25 percent shooting.
"We're a work in progress," said Benjamin. "Tonight was an aberration. We have some talent on this team. It's a brand new offense that we've implemented this year so some of the girls are still learning it. Tonight was the first night that we've seen man-to-man. I think we've had some more success against the zone in our first five games."
After beginning the season 4-0, this week saw two losses before the Lady Eagles will play in the Oak Ridge Tournament over the next few days.

I recently started zoloft for depression and severe anxiety and I have no appetite. I practically force myself to eat, but only once a day-then a snack. I haven't noticed a drop in supply, but I am really worried..I really want to continue breastfeeding, my DD is only five months, but I really need medicine.
I don't really even know what I'm asking.......
I've talked to my team and they told me that I would basically have to stop taking the medicine, or stop breastfeeding.
Has anyone else experienced this, and what did you do?

The Trinity-Moraine Admissions Collaboration (T-MAC) Agreement, signed by Trinity's President Steven Timmermans and Moraine Valley's President Sylvia M. Jenkins on October 23, offers transfer students a choice of collaborative program options in addition to other benefits, including:
* academic advising prior to transfer
* scholarship award of at least $4,000/year for eligible students
* application for additional need-based financial assistance
* waiving of the Trinity application fee
Collaborative program options have also been developed under the agreement.
One option allows students to earn a professional counseling degree in just five years of starting their degree at Moraine Valley. Students first earn associate and bachelor's degrees in psychology in three years, then, depending on eligibility and meeting entrance requirements, immediately enter Trinity's master of art's degree in counseling psychology program.
The two colleges also revised the transfer agreement that leads to a bachelor's degree in Trinity's Adult Studies business program. This ensures that the courses students take at both institutions are coordinated and will lead to degree completion.
An additional collaborative program enables students to complete an associate degree with a psychology major at Moraine Valley and then transfer to Trinity to complete a bachelor's degree with a major in cognitive and speech development and a minor in speech and communication sciences.
"I'm pleased to have entered into this partnership with Moraine Valley Community College, for it ensures our two institutions make it easy for students who begin their studies at Moraine to understand, each step of the way, what is needed for their ultimate transfer to Trinity," Dr. Timmermans said. "We are pleased to offer this opportunity to our students. We appreciate the coordinated efforts made between our two institutions to provide another avenue of success for students," said Dr. Jenkins added. "Moraine Valley is grateful to Dr. Timmermans and his team for listening attentively to our feedback on what community college students are looking for in a transfer school and in articulated agreements. We are very excited about the clear pathway that Dr. Timmermans has agreed on for Master of Arts degree in Counseling Psychology and the generous scholarships our students will receive should they decide to transfer to Trinity," said Dr. Normah Salleh-Barone, vice president of Student Development.
"This agreement serves students and our communities for it outlines specific steps for students in ways that ultimately benefit those people and institutions with whom they will work. It was a pleasure to work with the staff at Moraine Valley in developing the agreement," said Dr. Elizabeth Rudenga, provost of Trinity Christian.
Caption: Dr. Steven Timmermans, president of Trinity Christian College, and Dr. Sylvia M. Jenkins, president of Moraine Valley Community College, extend congratulations after signing an agreement that provides a seamless path for Moraine Valley students to earn their four-year degree in two programs with one leading to a master's degree. The two colleges also revised their transfer agreement that leads to a four-year degree in Trinity Christian's Adult Studies Bachelor of Science Business degree program. Joining in the celebration from left are David Deitemyer, dean of Academic Services, Moraine Valley; Debby Blatzer, director of Academic Advising Programs and Services, Moraine Valley; Tina Carney-Simon, transfer coordinator, Articulation, Moraine Valley; Kim Fabian, executive director of Marketing and Communications, Trinity Christian; Jaynn Tobias-Johnson, registrar, Trinity Christian; Dr. Elizabeth Rudenga, Provost, Trinity Christian; Joann Wright, dean of Counseling and Advising, Moraine Valley; Dr. Pamela Haney, vice president of Academic Affairs, Moraine Valley; Dr. Margaret Lehner, vice president of Institutional Advancement, Moraine Valley; Dr. Normah Salleh-Barone, vice president of Student Development, Moraine Valley; Walter Fronczek, dean of Liberal Arts, Moraine Valley; Robert Sterkowitz, chief financial officer, Moraine Valley; and Chet Shaw, dean of Student Services, Moraine Valley.

They won back-to-back gold together – now they'll lead out Canada's athletes together.
Bobsledders Kaillie Humphries and Heather Moyse are the Canadian Olympic Committee's choice to lead the Canadian contingent into Fisht Olympic Stadium on Sunday for the closing ceremony.
"This has been such a great Games for Canada and leading the team into the Closing Ceremony is the cherry on top of a fantastic couple of weeks. I am so honoured,ˮ Humphries said in a statement released by the COC.
"This is such an amazing privilege. I will carry the flag with the upmost pride and patriotism, on behalf of all Canadians,ˮ Heather Moyse said in the same statement.
"Congratulations to Kaillie and Heather. Leading into these Games, we talked about how we wanted our Canadian athletes to compete well against the world's best and contend for the number one spot in overall medals won," said Steve Podborski, Canada's Chef de Mission. "Given the intensity and passion our Canadians showed on the field of play, we are proud of the team's tremendous performance."
Kaillie Humphries smiles and says that when she got the call to be flag-bearer, she initially thought she had pocket-dialed Steve Podborski.

Additional Information
About FINCA PeruThis loan is administered by FINCA Peru, one of Kiva's Field Partners in Peru. FINCA Peru is dedicated to empowering socially and economically disadvantaged women in Peru, contributing to the development of their families, and building sustainable communities.
In 1990, FINCA Peru began by lending to a small group of women widowed by the Shining Path terrorist movement in Ayacucho. Beyond loans and financial services, FINCA offers business development training, personal and family development training, gender empowerment sessions, life insurance products, and financial and social literacy sessions for the children of borrowers. Visit FINCA Peru's Kiva Field Partner page to learn more.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

The production was good but our seats were terrible. We were crunched in and way too high to see it well.
In this day and age, when everyone wants more bang for their buck, it's good to know there's a "sure thing" – Chicago The Musical. It's got the funniest songs, the hottest dancing, the sexiest cast and the greatest story on Broadway. No wonder Chicago has been honored with six Tony Awards, two Olivier Awards, a Grammy and thousands of standing ovations. Plus, it makes any event more special from killer first dates to unforgettable anniversaries. So come on, babe! Don't you deserve a sure thing?

Christina, Monique, Jen, Becky, Jenn...helllooooo out there?
VBAC Mommies...any of you here?
Tisha - Okay, the election is over. Where are you? Are you happy with the results? Sorry to hear that Joely is giving you a tough time. What's going on? Doesn't she know she has to let you sleep if she wants another baby brother?!
My surgery went well. The ligament is all fixed and he also smoothed out the back of my kneecap. Not sure what I did to rough that up, but I managed it! Yesterday was peachy since they gave me a knee block, but it's certainly worn off today. Ugh! I'll be okay as long as I can keep Miles off of it!
Christina, mama to:
Owen (11), Miles (8), Sam (6/22/08 - 6/14/09) and Eleanor (3)
Hiya. Yes, cold to me is 50's.
Tisha-hahahahhaha!!! Emma was Squirt from Finding Nemo too!!! Too funny!
These were from playgroup 3 days before halloween.
These were from right before we walked out the door to trick or treat.
LETS GO mom!!!
Jen, Mommy to Abby-almost 7, Bethany-5 1/2 & Emma-3
Christina, mama to:
Owen (11), Miles (8), Sam (6/22/08 - 6/14/09) and Eleanor (3)
Christina, oh no! Not 911! I hope he didn't get into trouble! Times like that, I am glad we don't have a phone (a land line, anyway)!
Yessss, I am verrrry happy with the results:-) Well, except for Prop 8 passing in CA...but since I don't live there, there isn't much I can do about it.
Ow! Sounds like the knee would hurt...I hope it sounds worse than it is, and that you are up and about in no time. Somebody got to chase those kids
Joely is just up a ton, between midnight and 6, not sure why. Might be teeth. She was doing great at night, with no diaper. Went a week, and had, I think, one accident. Then, she had accidents 3 nights in a row. So I put a diaper on her, and she was accident-free for 5 nights. Last night she didn't want a diaper, so I let her go without...and she peed. Why does she only pee if she ISN'T wearing a diaper? I don't get it. That isn't the reason she is up so much, though...I mean, a little it is, but mostly she just comes into my room and I carry her back to bed, and that is it. DH can't do it, or she will kick and scream and wake herself and everyone up. She is spoiled like that...
Jen, VERY cute pics! I love the little Nemo gang you had going!
Nicholas 13, Rory 11, Elliot 10, Joely 8, Ren 7, Carlin 5, Cooper *forever 4* and Mathis 2
Ok, so I tested yesterday, but it was BFN. No wait. Maybe? No. Is there something? I think so. No. Kind of went like that. So I POAS againin the afternoon, and I thought it was darker. DH saw it, but said that he thought it was a "background", the place where a line would be. So I figured this morning would be definitive, either way...nope. Looked the same...thought I saw something, but couldn't be sure. I tried to take pics, but the line wouldn't show up.
So here is from this afternoon...
They are darker in person, I swear, but I think the line will show. 9 DPO, so I would expect it to be faint. AF is due on Sunday...
Nicholas 13, Rory 11, Elliot 10, Joely 8, Ren 7, Carlin 5, Cooper *forever 4* and Mathis 2
Tisha - HOLY CRAP!!!!!! Congratulations!!! Wow!!! What good news! I so needed to hear that so I could have a big grin! Is Mark excited? You'll have to tell me what your ILs say! *eyeroll* Nope, no trouble. Just a stern warning not to do it again and a new no playing with the phone rule! The knee isn't too bad - I'm actually walking around the house without crutches now. I actually thought it was going to be worse than it was, especially the day of surgery since I wasn't given a general. I hope Joely cuts you a break, soon! That has to be tough - especially with being pg and all!
Christina, mama to:
Owen (11), Miles (8), Sam (6/22/08 - 6/14/09) and Eleanor (3)
Oh, and in my excitement, I forgot to mention that I finally started af again! I know I wanted things to start again, but not when I'm basically couch bound with my mom here!
Christina, mama to:
Owen (11), Miles (8), Sam (6/22/08 - 6/14/09) and Eleanor (3)
Yeah, the return of AF is never fun:-( I was really looking forward to it this time, because we were TTC, but now I don't ever want to see her again, lol! I can't face how many times I am going to have to deal with her. I have seen her an average of 3 times in between each baby, so since May 2001, that would be what? 15 times or so, in the last 7 1/2 years? Not too shabby, lol....
I am glad the knee isn't too bad, it seems like it would be a particularly hard one.
Thanks, too...I don't know how to tell the ILs, as usual. I am devising a strategy, though. We just found out that Mark's niece is due with her first in June (she is the sweetest person, and she and her DH are guardians to our kids). She is the first of the grandkids to have a baby, so there is a bit of hubub, of course, about it. Anyway, my gut is to not break out news at Thanksgiving, where she will be, because I want her to have her day and bask in the attention. On the other hand, if I can slip it in there, maybe it will either a) go unnoticed or b) everyone will realize the hypocrisy of celebrating one pregnancy while condemning another...we shall see, I guess.
Mark was appropriately happy, for once, lol. He seemed genuinely happy, and his face lit up. Since I have told him we were going to keep doing this until I got a good reaction when the stick turned pink, I guess we can stop. Nicholas actually found my test in the bathroom and came out carrying it, saying "preggggnant, I see a small line". It was pretty cute. I wasn't going to tell them right away, but he was the first to know, even before Mark.
Alright, Mark's brother is on his way here, they are going to Barber Motorsports this weekend to race, and I need to go clean the bathroom...I told Mark I really needed to clean the floor, and he said "it's my brother (who is single), he probably just pees on the floor at his place"...still, I think I should get on that.
Nicholas 13, Rory 11, Elliot 10, Joely 8, Ren 7, Carlin 5, Cooper *forever 4* and Mathis 2
WOW Tisha!! Congrats!!! I'd bet anything its teeth with Joely too. omg Emma is cutting those 2 yr molars something TERRIBLE!!! She hasn't slept well at night all week.
Yay...not. AF showed this morning.Right in time to be all blaoted and crampy for the USMC ball tomorrow night. Lovely.
Jen, Mommy to Abby-almost 7, Bethany-5 1/2 & Emma-3
Jen, I hope you have fun at the ball! (I don't think I have ever said that before, lol...sounds so princess-y)

Gone by DragonWolfACeWatch

NKP765 on a deadhead run between Cleveland, Ohio and Altoona, PA roars by the now gone Hudson, Ohio depot. The depot was torn down a few weeks ago. This shot was seconds away from getting cloud screwed as there was a huge cloud right next to the sun.
Oh, this is my 1,111 deviation on DA!
Oh, this is my 1,111 deviation on DA!
Sadly these great historical relics are being torn down. and for what to replace them? An empty field, a mall etc.
I have photographed over 4000 depots in the US (and 500+ in Canada) in the past 30+ years, and probably 200 or so are now gone.
This is such a great shot, that is also a bit sad, as well (I always wonder what places like this were like, in their heyday, as well as what kinds of people used to look out the windows of old buildings like that....)
But it didn't get clowd-screwed - the opposite happened! The clowd's shadow in the back gives this picture together with that scene some special touch
Great shot!

Harold Korell
Steve Mueller and Greg Kerley our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are with me here today. If you have not received a copy of yesterday's press release regarding our second quarter results, you can call 281-618-4847 to have a copy faxed to you.
Also I'd like to point out that many of the comments during this teleconference are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties effecting outcomes, many of which are beyond our control and are discussed in more detail in the risk factors and forward-looking statement section of our annual and quarterly filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Although we believe that the expectations expressed are based on reasonable assumptions, they're not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially.
Well, we're here to report another very good quarter despite the low commodity price environment. Our gross operative production from the Fayetteville shale reached significant milestone of 1 Bcf per day in July compared to approximately 500 million cubic feet per day at this time a year ago. It is truly amazing to think that it was only five years ago when we told the world about the Fayetteville shale play and our gross production from that play alone is now over 1 billion a day.
We've learned so much during that time and continue to do so as productivity of our wells continues to improve with each quarter. While current gas prices remain low, we believe lower industry drilling activity will result in higher prices over the next 18 months. With our focus on value creation and a world class resource to develop in the Fayetteville shale we are well positioned, not only to weather the current low commodity price environment with our strong balance sheet and financial flexibility, but also to benefit greatly when prices return to more normalized levels.
I'd like to now turn the conference over to Steve for more detail on our E&P and Midstream activities and then to Greg for an update on our financial results, and then we'll be available for questions.
Steven Mueller
During the second quarter of 2009 we produced 74.3 Bcfe up 65% from second quarter of 2008. Our Fayetteville shale production was 60.6 Bcf double between 9.6 we produced in second quarter of 2008.
Our remaining second quarter production came from East Texas where we produced 7.8 Bcf and from the Arkoma properties where we produced 5.8 Bcf.
In the first six months of 2009 we invested approximately $852.5 million in our exploration production activities and participated in drilling 388 wells. Of this amount, approximately $695 million or 82% was for drilling wells. Additionally, we invested $102.5 million in our Midstream segment almost entirely in the Fayetteville shale.
In the first half of 2009 we have invested approximately $793 million in our Fayetteville shale play including both our E&P and Midstream activities. At June 30 our gross for operator production was approximately 990 million cubic feet per day up from 850 million cubic foot at the end March.
We currently have 17 rigs drilling in the Fayetteville shale, 13 that are capable of drilling horizontal wells, and four smaller rigs that are used to drill the vertical portion of the wells. We expect to participate in approximately 575 gross wells in 2009.
As we discussed in our last teleconference, during 2008 the majority of our gas production in our Arkoma basin was moved to markets in the Midwest. This included the Fayetteville lateral Phase 1 portion of the Texas gas transmission or Boardwalk pipeline, which was placed in service on December 24. On April 1 the Fayetteville lateral Phase 2 and Greenville lateral portions of the boardwalk pipeline were placed in service and we began transporting a portion of our gas to eastern markets.
As a result of recent inspections, repairs and maintenance on the Fayetteville lateral, we have experienced curtailments that have impacted our ability to transport our production from our Fayetteville shale. Beginning in April 2009 Boardwalk reduced the capacity on or shutdown the Fayetteville lateral on several occasions due to various activities, including maintenance and pipeline inspection.
These activities, as well as similar repairs to the Greenville lateral, are expected to continue resulting in further curtailments. As an example, the southwestern operating gross production exceeded 1 Bcf a day on Monday and Tuesday of this week. A line inspection was started on Wednesday and total production was reduced 825 million cubic foot per day gross. And then this morning the production is now restored over a Bcf a day.

text: Microsoft accuses Google of blocking YouTube app for 'manufactured' reasons Business 16 August 13 by Peter Bright YouTube The good YouTube app for Windows Phone is once again causing problems. Microsoft pulled the app in May after Google complained that it didn't include ads. After working with Google, Redmond re-released the app on 13 August with ads this time. But Google still isn't happy, and the company has revoked the API key the app uses, thereby disabling it.In response, Microsoft has published a lengthy blog post about the disagreements between the two companies. Entitled "The limits of Google's openness," the post calls into question Google's 2009 commitment to openness. Google claimed, in 2009, that its "future depends on the internet staying an open system, and [Google's] advocacy of open will grow the web for everyone -- including Google."Microsoft says that in creating the YouTube app for Windows Phone, it assumed that the same commitment to openness applied to YouTube. It has complied with Google's demands to show ads and to block access to videos where the creators have restricted distribution. These are changes that, Microsoft argues, should "bring Google new users and additional revenue."However, Google remains unhappy. Microsoft describes five complaints made by Google. First, the advertising giant is demanding specifically that Microsoft rewrite the application to use HTML5. Microsoft doesn't elaborate on why Google has made this demand but points out that Google's own apps on iOS and Android do not use HTML5. The software company claims that this is a "manufactured" reason, invented only to ensure that the YouTube experience on Windows Phone is inferior to that on iOS and Android.Second, Google claims that sometimes the Windows Phone app does not show the right ads. Content creators can specify various conditions on the ads that get shown, and Windows Phone apparently does not honour those conditions. Microsoft says that it honours them as best it can, but the app is subject to the constraints imposed by Google's own API.Third, Google claims that Microsoft is not abiding by the API's terms and conditions. Microsoft says that this too is a reference to the decision not to use HTML5.Fourth, Google is objecting to the decision to brand the application "YouTube." Although the application states clearly that it is not developed by Google, and although the old, bad YouTube app was also branded "YouTube" without complaint from Google, Google is now unhappy about the use of its name on the new app.Finally, Google complains that the app offers a degraded experience. This is rather a peculiar claim. It offers a superior experience to the mobile website, and it offers a superior experience to the old, bad YouTube app that Google apparently didn't mind.Until and unless a court decrees otherwise, Google is essentially free to do what it likes with YouTube. That includes making arbitrary demands (such as using HTML5, even though Google's own engineers have implicitly deemed HTML5 to be not good enough by not using it themselves) and imposing various restrictions (such as not documenting the advertising API so that third parties can comply with all the rules surrounding YouTube ads). Google is also under no obligation to honour those same demands itself.Nonetheless, Google's behaviour appears to be more than a little capricious. Other unofficial YouTube clients exist, and thus far Google appears not to have killed them off with the same vigour it has demonstrated while going after Microsoft's client.If Microsoft's description is accurate, Google's implication that it is somehow protecting users from an inferior experience with this move is also absurd. The new application provides a YouTube experience that's meaningfully superior to any solution that Google has thus far blessed (aside from "using a different operating system entirely").Microsoft's post closes with a statement that Redmond is happy to work with Google to address any "legitimate" concerns.

I'm not too hot on imaginative plant holders......I have reclaimed old chimney pots, washing machine drums (that I've made into "stone" containers) and reclaimed old kitchen sinks, again turned into stone troughs.
However, old wheelbarrows, watering cans, shoes, etc are often used to present some impressive annual displays.

Objective: To review the efficacy of chemoprophylaxis for opportunistic infections in persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Data Sources: English-language articles on the prevention of HIV-related opportunistic infections were identified through MEDLINE (1985 to 1993) and through review of abstracts presented at the International Conferences on AIDS, the Interscience Conferences on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, and the National Conference on Human Retroviruses and Related Diseases.
Study Selection: Importance was assigned in descending order to controlled clinical trials, uncontrolled trials and retrospective studies, and prospective observational studies.
Data Synthesis: Persons infected with HIV who are at risk for Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia should receive prophylaxis, preferably with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Alternative agents are aerosolized pentamidine, dapsone, and dapsone-pyrimethamine. Patients who are seropositive for Toxoplasma gondii may benefit from primary prophylaxis against toxoplasmosis using trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole or dapsone-pyrimethamine. Life-long secondary prophylaxis is indicated for all patients previously treated for toxoplasmic encephalitis. Long-term suppressive therapy is required for all patients with cryptococcal meningitis and histoplasmosis, and many patients with recurrent mucosal candidiasis also benefit from long-term suppression. The role of primary prophylaxis of fungal infections, however, is uncertain. Rifabutin has been approved to prevent disseminated infection with Mycobacterium avium complex and is indicated for all patients with CD4 counts less than 100/mm3. Chemoprophylaxis with isoniazid for 12 months is indicated in all patients infected with HIV who have or are at high risk for M. tuberculosis infection. No effective primary prophylactic agent is available for cytomegalovirus disease, although several investigational drugs are being studied. Acyclovir is effective in decreasing recurrences of herpes simplex virus infection. The incidence of common bacterial infections is decreased by trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine is recommended for adult patients infected with HIV, and Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccine is recommended for children infected with HIV.
Conclusions: A growing number of infections related to the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome are preventable with currently available agents. Issues of drug interactions, toxicity, and cost-effectiveness will become increasingly important in the management of patients with advanced HIV disease.
CMV = cytomegalovirus; CRY = cryptococcosis; MAI = intracellulare; MTB = ; PCP = pneumonia; and TOX = toxoplasmosis.

Turns my face red everytime.
Posted by 4735564068540938774 on Dec 08, 2015
I was excited to get this product, yet mere minutes after my first application my face t urned red. It turns red each and every time that I use this product. I have no idea why, but if you have sensitive skin I"d avoid putting this on your face.
Posted by 5696141588116005296 on Oct 25, 2015
my dark circle gone !!
Best under eye cream!
Posted by Reviewer1126659 on Oct 10, 2015
This cream has been a part of my skin care routine for about 2-3 years now. I do not apply this cream all over, but only to the areas that I know get really dry. I like to use it as an under eye cream because it really keeps them moisturized and I notice a difference when I wake up in the morning. Also heals dry patches.
great vit e cream
Posted by Reviewer1718502 on Jul 14, 2015
Prompt delivery this time. Product quality as true as it describes. best natural vit e cream i have used.
Posted by 5751518665094641049 on Apr 24, 2015
soon after applying the creme on my skin I felt tingle. I washed it at once, but the skin turned red and burned till the next day. the creme is allergenic
Posted by 4968150130879710164 on Apr 18, 2015
It is very thick
Posted by Reviewer1142540 on Mar 27, 2015
This is very thick. I like the Jason 5,000 IU Vitamin E moisturizing creme better which absorbs well and softens skin. However, I take a vitamin E supplement and since too much vitamin E can interfere with other vitamin absorption in the body(it can even be absorbed through the skin into your bloodstream), I don't know if I am going to use even the 5,000 IU cream, maybe sometimes. You want to have balance in your nutrients, since too much of some can interfere with absorption of another. God bless you all.
I'm not sure how i feel about it yet.
Posted by 5245904063186475272 on Mar 17, 2015
It is veeery thick, and maybe my skin doesn't need that much richness. But like i said, still trying it out.
good quality
Posted by 4776713484264634548 on Mar 09, 2015
My mum was impressed with the product quality and pricing.
Amazing moisturizer!
Posted by Reviewer3063845 on Jan 15, 2015
I love this cream especially in the winter when the skin on my face and hands gets super dry. Very thick so usually only apply it before bed, on my skin only on the dry spots to prevent possible break outs (which I doubt this product would cause but I'm paranoid) and a thick layer on my hands followed by cotton gloves.

A Cornbrook Addition resident was taken to jail after an off-duty police officer said he repeatedly struck his 3-year-old daughter in public.
Dustin A. Cox, 25, of 4060 N. County Road 150W, was arrested on a charge of battery resulting in injuries to a victim under 14 years of age, a Class D felony.
The incident took place Friday in the parking lot outside the Best Buy store at 1343 N. National Road.
Columbus Police Sgt. Morgan Horner had just walked out of the electronics store at 4:45 p.m. when he saw a man striking a little girl multiple times in a parked vehicle, according to a police department media release.
Fearing for the child's safety, Horner intervened and told the man to stop hitting her. The man replied he was disciplining his daughter because she had been throwing a fit and would not stop, the release stated.
Based on the off-duty officer's observations and signs of minor injuries to the child, the man was arrested and taken to the Bartholomew County Jail, the release said.
The little girl did not require medical attention and was turned over to the care of her mother, who was at the scene, the release said. However, police have contacted Child Protective Services regarding the incident.
Bond for Cox was set at $10,000 surety or $1,000 cash. He was released from jail Sunday following a 48-hour hold, according to a jail spokeswoman.
If convicted on the arrest charge, Cox could receive six months to three years in jail and be fined up to $10,000.
The office of Bartholomew County Prosecutor Bill Nash will determine what charges, if any, will be filed.
