Physicists making religion headlinesposted by John D. Boy
Ever since he told a Guardian reporter last weekend that the idea of an afterlife is a "fairy story," Stephen Hawking has been in the religion news. The author of A Brief History of Time isn't the only physicist making religion headlines. Not long ago, a paper presented at the American Physical Society's annual meeting led the BBC to report: "Religion may become extinct in nine nations, study says." Finally, the ongoing work on particle physics at CERN prompted its director to tell an interviewer: "we are crossing the boundary between knowledge and belief."

Post-secular developmentposted by Daromir Rudnyckyj
For most of the second half of the twentieth century development was assumed to be consonant with modernity and its attendant practices: secularism, reason, and science. However, it is increasingly apparent that the secularity of development should no longer be taken for granted. This is visible not only in recent initiatives for "faith-based development," but also in movements that seek to develop faith by emphasizing religious ethics conducive to economic rationality.
Religion as a catalyst of rationalizationposted by Eduardo Mendieta
The centrality of religion to social theory in general and philosophy in particular explains why Jürgen Habermas has dealt with it, in both substantive and creative ways, in all of his work. Indeed, religion can be used as a lens through which to glimpse both the coherence and the transformation of his distinctive theories of social development and his rethinking of the philosophy of reason as a theory of social rationalization.
For Habermas, religion has been a continuous concern precisely because it is related to both the emergence of reason and the development of a public space of reason-giving. Religious ideas, according to Habermas, are never mere irrational speculation. Rather, they possess a form, a grammar or syntax, that unleashes rational insights, even arguments; they contain, not just specific semantic contents about God, but also a particular structure that catalyzes rational argumentation.
After the postsecularposted by John D. Boy
Inside Higher Ed interviews Anthony Paul Smith and Daniel Whistler, the editors of the recently-published volume After the Postsecular and the Postmodern: New Essays in Continental Philosophy of Religion. They highlight the experimental aspects of newer work in the philosophy of religion, which often means revisiting philosophers from the past two centuries and reading them anew in the wake of Deleuze.
The secularization of secularismposted by John D. Boy
In the newest issue of Theory, Culture & Society, British sociologist Gregor McLennan takes a closer look at the "postsecular turn" in contemporary social theory. He argues that this "turn"—if indeed it amounts to one—finds expression in three broad trends: genealogical critique, neo-vitalism, and postcolonial antihistoricism. He mainly discusses these trends with regard to the work of three scholars, each representing one of the trends: Talal Asad, William Connolly, and Dipesh Chakrabarty (though Rosi Braidotti and Judith Butler are also mentioned, as representatives of neo-vitalism and antihistoricism, respectively). While these theoretical developments go some way in critiquing the problematic linkages between secular epistemology and political arrangements, McLennan argues that they are each riddled with inconsistencies. Rather than staking out an antisecular position, these perspectives remain within secularism, contributing to the "secularization of secularism."
"Recognizing" religionposted by Craig Calhoun
Religion appears in liberal theory first and foremost as an occasion for tolerance and neutrality. This orientation is reinforced by both the classification of religion as essentially a private matter, and the view that religion is in some sense a "survival" from an earlier era – not a field of vital growth within modernity. […]
Cosmopolitanism and the ideal of postsecular public reasonposted by Craig Calhoun
Cosmopolitanism is not realistically imaginable as the transcendence of all forms of belonging. To propose a leap into traditionless secular reason is to propose the tyranny of the pure ought, and indeed, an ought without a can. It is also to privilege a class and a cultural group able to identify its traditions – including secularism – with neutral reason. Global solidarity will be achieved – if it is ever achieved – by transformation of religion and other forms of cultural belonging rather than by escape from them. And it will be achieved on the basis of hope and critical perspectives and solidarity that inform public reason but are not produced simply from within it.

Analyzing potential Offensive Rookie of Year candidates
History might be on the side of Titans running back Bishop Sankey, but pass-happy NFL could alter this year's winner.
Rookies have begun signing their deals after the NFL Draft.
Now that we know who will be playing where and in what systems, we can begin to piece together how effective each player will be in his first season.
Since 1967, when The Associated Press NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award was first introduced, only 15 of the 47 recipients haven't been running backs. With the game evolving into a passing league, wide receivers must now be considered more of a threat to win the award because of their prevalence in NFL offenses.
Of the 47 AP offensive rookies of the year, 32 have been running backs, eight have been wide receivers, and seven have been quarterbacks.
In 2013, the award came down to Packers running back Eddie Lacy and San Diego Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen.
Comparing last year's contenders
|2013 winner: Eddie Lacy
|284 rushing attempts
|1,178 yards
|11 TDs
|2013 runner-up: Keenan Allen
|71 receptions
|1,046 yards
|8 TDs
While Allen posted some eye-popping numbers for a rookie wide receiver, Lacy put the Packers on his back while their franchise quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, was sidelined for eight weeks with a broken collarbone. During that eight-game span, Lacy powered his way to 666 yards and seven touchdowns on 151 carries, all while battling a lingering ankle injury. Lacy often faced eight-man boxes and notably watched film of Vikings running back Adrian Peterson when he faced similar defensive alignments.
"(Peterson) is very patient, but even with his patience he has great explosion," Lacy told reporters last November. "As soon as he finds it, he's hitting it like zero-to-60 really fast. I'm trying to work on the zero-to-60 part."
Lacy's production tightened Green Bay's grasp on the NFC North for the team's third consecutive division title.
Because the voters decide after the regular season, the recipients of the award in the past decade have been players who have come from winning teams or rewrote rookie history.
Bringing home the hardware
|2013: Packers RB Eddie Lacy
|Packers win NFC North
|2012: Redskins QB Robert Griffin III
|Redskins win NFC East
|2011: Panthers QB Cam Newton
|Most passing yards in rookie history
|2010: Rams QB Sam Bradford
|Led Rams to 8-8 season
|2009: Vikings WR Percy Harvin
|Vikings earn postseason berth
|2008: Falcons QB Matt Ryan
|Falcons earn postseason berth
|2007: Vikings RB Adrian Peterson
|Broke single-game rushing record
|2006: Titans QB Vince Young
|Had 8-3 record as starter
|2005: Bucs RB Cadillac Williams
|Bucs earn postseason berth
|2004: Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger
|Steelers win AFC North
If any rookie quarterback leads his team to the postseason, the award is likely his. Looking at the five teams (Texans, Raiders, Browns, Jaguars, Vikings) that will potentially start a rookie quarterback, an overwhelming majority would agree that the Texans are the most ready to make a run into the postseason.
Former Pitt quarterback Tom Savage, who came to the Texans via a fourth-round pick, has the arm and measurements of a prototypical pocket passer. He'll first need to digest Bill O'Brien's complicated offense before he's handed the job. After a "decent" performance in rookie minicamp, Savage must commit himself to the playbook to accelerate his emergence in the quarterback room.

Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel will begin his career as a backup, according to team owner Jimmy Haslam, but it's only a matter of time before he's lining up underneath center Alex Mack. Manziel will create the most dazzling, highlight-reel plays of any rookie quarterback and will pique the national media's interest on a week-by-week basis. If he proves to be an efficient passer from the pocket, paired with his exciting playmaking ability, he will win this honor in a landslide.
Vikings offensive coordinator Norv Turner's plan is to spread the field for Adrian Peterson. When the eighth-year running back begins to produce, it will be quarterback Teddy Bridgewater picking apart the defense. Bridgewater ran a pro-style offense for three years under offensive coordinator Shawn Watson. Bridgewater ran a sophisticated, pro passing game and completed 71 percent of his passes (second best in the nation), while throwing 31 touchdowns with just four interceptions. Bridgewater must improve his deep-ball accuracy if he hopes to enjoy all of the perks Turner's offense offers.
While Blake Bortles was selected No. 3 overall, it will be a challenge for a rookie quarterback to lead a team with a roster filled with question marks to a winning record.
The favorite: Johnny Manziel
The dark horse: Tom Savage
There are only a handful of running backs who are immediately set up to have an instant impact in Year One. Because most teams are adopting a multiple-back philosophy, Titans running back Bishop Sankey has a distinct edge on the other rookies at this position. Sankey, a well-rounded runner who displays a natural combination of power and speed, will consume a majority of the load in OTAs, as veteran running back Shonn Greene reportedly underwent knee surgery this offseason. If Sankey can prove to be an every-down back and assume the role Chris Johnson once played in Tennessee, he'll rack up the yards, touchdowns and votes by The Associated Press. Additionally, the Titans used another first-round pick on an offensive lineman (Taylor Lewan) to pair with right guard Chance Warmack. If this line solidifies, it could pave some big lanes for the running backs.
The next batch of running backs will have veterans ahead of them on their respective depth charts and will see a limited amount of carries, short of some unpredictable occurrence.
BenJarvus Green-Ellis' future in Cincinnati is uncertain after the team spent a second-round pick on LSU product Jeremy Hill. While Green-Ellis is due only $2.3 million in base salary for 2014, second-year running back Giovani Bernard emerged as a go-to weapon. After eclipsing the 1,000-yard all-purpose mark, Bernard looks forward to new offensive coordinator Hue Jackson's more traditional run-first play-calling. Could Hill be the early-down back, while Bernard plays the change-of-pace role? It's a possibility.
The Rams rode Zac Stacy to 973 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground in 2013. They added former Auburn running back Tre Mason in the third round. Mason had plenty of production at the collegiate level, running for 1,816 yards and 23 touchdowns in 2014.
San Francisco's Carlos Hyde, Cleveland's Terrance West and Tampa Bay's Charles Sims all will compete for playing time, but won't be the lead runner in their systems as veterans and newly acquired free agents are slated to fill those roles.
The favorite: Bishop Sankey
The dark horse: Jeremy Hill
The wide receiver position in this year's draft class was celebrated as one of the deepest in the past decade. Thirty-three wide receivers were drafted in 2014 -- the most since 2008 (35) -- but this position has one of the steepest learning curves in the league. Projecting production at the wide receiver position is a difficult task. Five wide receivers look to have an immediate impact in their team's offenses.
Catching on quickly:
|Rookie WR award winners
|Percy Harvin (2009)
|Anquan Boldin (2003)
|Randy Moss (1998)
|Carl Pickens (1992)
|Eddie Brown (1985)
|Louis Lipps (1984)
|Sammy White (1976)
|Earl McCullouch (1968)
Tampa Bay quarterback Josh McCown was lobbying for a large target outside the numbers for him on draft day. The team spent its No. 7 overall pick on former Texas A&M wide receiver Mike Evans. Evans mastered the jump ball in College Station in 2013, and he should have no problem pulling them down at the next level. Lined up opposite wide receiver Vincent Jackson, Evans will put added stress on a defense that will be forced to cover three players who stand 6-foot-5 or taller, including tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins. In the six games McCown started for the Bears last season, he targeted Alshon Jeffery, the No. 2 option, 59 times, which was good for 37 receptions and four touchdowns. That equates to 98 receptions and 11 touchdowns over a full 16-game season. If Evans finished with such numbers, he'd be tough to pass up on the ballots.
Bills general manager Doug Whaley spent a 2015 first- and fourth-round draft pick to move up five slots to select Sammy Watkins. It's no secret that it will be a priority for offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett to feature Watkins. With the addition of wide receiver Mike Williams via trade and Robert Woods gaining a year of experience last season, Watkins could see some favorable matchups from opposing defenses. Even if that's not the case, he's such a rare talent that he'll continue to produce.
The Broncos had four receivers (Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker, Julius Thomas and Wes Welker) with 10 touchdowns or more in 2013. While Eric Decker left via free agency, Peyton Manning's arsenal of weapons is never empty. By adding Emmanuel Sanders and drafting Cody Latimer, the 17-year quarterback won't skip a beat. Latimer, who will reportedly be limited until training camp as he rehabs from a fractured fifth metatarsal, has experience in a spread offense. "He catches every ball that is within his radius," Indiana offensive coordinator Kevin Johns told USA TODAY Sports this month. "In three years, I can think of just one ball that he dropped."
Cam Newton's wide receiver corps was absolutely decimated this offseason, but general manager Dave Gettleman got him a go-to weapon in Florida State product Kelvin Benjamin. While some consider Benjamin to be a one-year wonder, he has an 83-inch wingspan, which will assist in his transition into the next level.

Oh, That's So Cute, An Ice-Skating Bea… AAAGHHH!!! NO, NO!!! PLEASE GOD, HELP ME!!!
You know what bears don't like so much? Wearing ice-skates. As the BBC reports, an ice-skating bear killed the manager of a touring Russian circus while they practiced for a show in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. "The bear, WHO HAD ON SKATES AT THE TIME, severely mauled another circus worker who tried to rescue the manager." Apparently, bears in Russia play hockey, too. That seems like a good idea. Let's give these killing machines big sticks to go along with their razor-sharp claws and teeth.

Posted by AIM-FOR-GOOD-HEALTH on Mar 15, 2016
I LOVE that this toothpaste has totally NATURAL ingredients but with added fluoride - a natural trace element that our teeth benefit from to stay strong - contrary to the belief of some 'natural' fans who say it does damage. No SLS or other chemicals - so very safe. Taste's excellent - nice strong peppermint taste and don't need a lot to do the job. Teeth get REALLY clean and makes them brighter, whiter looking!! It seems to get rid of any film over them - teeth are literally squeaky clean. Nice BIG tube! Worth every cent. Put my daughter onto this toothpaste and she loves it too. (Feel free to visit my page for more reviews by clicking on my username.)
Posted by username161 on Nov 27, 2015
SLS irritates my gums so I need to use a toothpaste without it, however it is hard to find a natural toothpaste that does include fluoride. This stuff is excellent.
Tastes nice

This toothpaste tastes nice and sweet but I can't see it has whitened my teeth at all. Probably won't order again.

This was NOT a good replacement for the Natural Dentist orange flavoured toothpaste which was discontinued by the manufacturer. This product made my mouth feel very foamy even after I rinsed.
very good
Posted by Reviewer1280935 on Jul 20, 2014
this is very mild, feels gentle yet effective without the usual super minty taste as compared to most commercial brands...would buy this again.
I now have uber white teeth :)
Posted by 5034823591675160605 on Jan 24, 2014
I love love love this product! I've been using this product for about a month now and my teeth are as white as I want them to be! I did my research to find a non-harmful whitening toothpaste and this one fits my standards! The only thing I think should be worked on, is the minty freshness. It just goes away too fast. :( Other than that I'm very happy with this toothpaste and I've already bought my second tube! :) Hope this was helpful!
Best I have ever used.
Posted by Reviewer2388107 on Sep 04, 2013
This is the only silica based toothpaste I can find and does not seem to compromise like other brands. Even Tom's now uses Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. I go to a large health food store and can't find one toothpaste I care for because they all contain at least one ingredient that I don't or can't use. Not so with Natural Dentist.
Posted by happydays on Dec 16, 2012
good, will buy again.

My 14 month does not walk yet. should i be worried?
She walks around the furniture but she will not let me hold her hands and walk her. She pulls her legs up if i try and stand her up where there is nothing for her to hold on to. I tried putting shoes on her but that does not seem to help. I also tried to use toys that are to help them learn to walk, but as soon as it starts to move she gets scared.

My son is 14 months old and is not walking either. It seems like your daughter is just scared to cruise or walk when she is not supporting herself on something solid. I would just give her time. Let her build her confidence up some more. Eventually she will walk. Some babies don't walk until 18 months and that is completly normal.posted 09/19/2007 by a BabyCenter Member
My son is 15 mths and 2 wks old and he just started walking on his own recently. He also started crawling late. I was worried and my pediatrician said there was nothing to worry about as he was large at birth and this contributed to the delay. He was much heavier than most babies. He will walk when we hold his hand or when he's holding on to furniture and stuff but the moment we let go, he'll sit. Then on the day he turned 15 mths, he just stood up and walked. I think the kids just need to build up their confidence, when they are ready they will walk. Look on the bright side, their exploration skills are well developed as they get to see lots of things on the ground level. Once they start to walk, they only notice things at eye level most of the time :-)posted 09/27/2007 by jefarah
My daughter started to walk at the end of her being 14 months. The first thing that I can tell you is please do not worry. Knowing what I know now, each baby is different and will walk when THEY ARE READY. They will not walk when mommy or daddy wants them to. I tried to do so many things to encourage my daughter to walk but it did not work. She cruised everywhere but just did not let go. Until one day, she just stood up on her own and took those first steps on her own. She fell constantly but she kept getting up. Now I wished that I would have not worried as much as I did because she is now all over the place!!!posted 07/17/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
Don't be worried! All babies are different, and do things at there own time(when they are ready.) I have a 6 1/2 year old and a 12 month old and expecting the third in 8 weeks. My oldest stared walking around 17 or 18 months and my 12 month old started walking 2 weeks before she turned one. I have even heard of babies starting to walk at 2 years so don't stress!posted 12/12/2009 by Amber Haro
My 14 month old is not walking either. For parents that are worried about walking, one thing that my pediatrician stated is that what you are looking for is progress more than simply hitting milestones. For instance, my son has shown continuous improvement in balance, coordination, standing (with a hand on something) crawling, and cruising. He can stand on one foot and balance well while reaching for things as long as he is touching something else. He has become an expert climber, and climbs better than any other baby around his age or a bit older that I have ever seen, even the ones that walk. As long as your baby has not just stopped making progress and getting stronger you probably have nothing to worry about. Also, many babies progress in different areas at different times, so if they are focusing on their social skills they may ignore their physical progress for a while, and vice versa. Worst case, ask your pediatrician at next visit, he will probably tell you is is all OK.posted 02/15/2013 by rainybeet
My daughter is 3 days shy of 14 months. She was diagnosed with low tone. She sat at 10 months and army crawled at 8 but didnt start really crawling until 12.5 months. Her pedatrician is having her meet with our PT again next month and then hes seeing her. He is also sending my daughter for an MRI because all of her other milestones were late except rolling.posted 12/16/2013 by michellesicble
My daughter started walking by herself at age 16 months. I don't think you have to worry about it. Let her take her time because as soon as she gets the confidence to walk by herself, you wont be able to sit for long. :)posted 10/09/2012 by tweedsgirl01
My daughter did not crawl till 10months and then walked at 14 months. She is a very bright, articulate girl! With the Back to Sleep campaign kids get a lot less tummy time and therefore are usually crawling later. Ask your pedi, but I wouldn't worry unless there are other red flags.posted 06/04/2011 by kateklimut
My son has already turned 14 months!! I am a bit worried.. Just recently when he is in a mood to stand on his own than he does it..or when he thinks of walking than he does otherwise he will crawl alongposted 06/15/2015 by elolokula
My daughter turned 14 months yesterday, and she is showing no signs of wanting to walk on her own. If we hold her hands, no problem. Other than that it is crawling. My eldest daughter walked at 10 months,,,,so for me this is quite a change. I am somewhat worried but she climbs the staircase fairly well, quickly and alone. So I am telling myself she is plain ol' lazy and she will start when she is good and ready.posted 05/26/2015 by CuteToez10

ARCIC director signs joint Army-Marine Corps concept
March 16, 2012
The Army and Marine Corps continued to strengthen joint efforts between the two services when leaders formally signed the document "Gaining and Maintaining Access: An Army-Marine Corps Concept" March 14, 2012.
Lt. Gen. Keith Walker, director of the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command's Army Capabilities Integration Center, and Lt. Gen. Richard Mills, commanding general of the Marine Corps Combat Development Command, signed the concept, which focuses on how the "services conduct entry operations against a hostile foe," according to the 21-page document.
"Gaining and Maintaining Access" is a concept that, similar and complementary to the Air Sea Battle, falls under the overarching ideas of the Joint Operational Access Concept, or JOAC, which was signed in January by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey.
In Dempsey's blog entry from Jan. 17, 2012, the date of JOAC's release, he stressed the importance of gaining and maintaining access across every domain -- land, air, space, sea and cyber -- and how the success of the Joint Force of 2020 depends on it.
"No matter how formidable our forces, if we are unable to bring our capabilities to bear in any of these domains, we may not be able to complete the mission or meet our nation's needs," he wrote. "Our adversaries know this as well."
More specifically than the JOAC, the Army-Marine Corps Concept focuses on how the two services will work together to "provide the joint force commander with the capability for decisive action on land and in the littorals."
In addition to contributing to the Joint Force, the Gaining and Maintaining Access Concept, or GMAC, will also shape the Army of 2020 through the Army Campaign of Learning, ARCIC's director explained.
"Our (Army) Campaign of Learning will exercise the concept and help us refine it," Walker said. "Throughout our joint work with Expeditionary Warrior, the Marines' future wargame last week, we already started using some of the concepts, and we also plan to use some in Terminal Fury 2012."
Terminal Fury is a two-week multiforce exercise in the Pacific Region, which tests the abilities of the joint task force to respond during contingencies.
Walker said ARCIC will continue to exercise the ideas of the concept in its joint experimentation and wargames, which will help determine what capabilities the Army needs regarding doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel and facilities.

Kumihimo Episode 2: Polka Dot Pattern
Part Number:VIDEO-0132
So I believe Dena has created a monster...I am going Kumihimo crazy! She inspired this next pattern and wrap bracelet. She shared her books with me and we are calling this pattern a polka dot. We are using three colors, one being the predominate color and the other two the "polka dots". I am also using waxed cording and making a wrapped bracelet. Remember when I offered the tip that the braid will stretch? Well that is how Dena's bracelet ended up a necklace...which I said could be worn as a wrap bracelet. We will also use a button as a closure so there will be a new way to end this piece!
Tips and Tricks
- Kumihimo braids can be stretched after you remove them from your disc to add a bit of length
- You can use a button and loop to make a closure.
- Karla Schafer, Auntie's Beads Designer

"Local" bent dealer is steering me away from tadpoles. I'm 6'2" and he says I'll have a hard time getting out of one. Furthermore, at 330#, I'm told I'm a bit heavy for a tadpole, not because of the weight, but because high speed turns will put too much side loading on the wheels.
What does experience tell you folks?

'Life is like a box of chocolates…'

The mystique and charm of this classic southern city is felt the moment you set foot in it.

The Spanish moss hanging from centuries-old oak trees standing guard over the perfectly manicured squares and parks all over town converge to create a pulse in the city that is slow, relaxed and warm.

Situated at the apex of the river of the same name and the Atlantic ocean, Savannah was a powerful American travel and trade port rivaling San Francisco, New York and New Orleans well into the 18th century (leading up to the American Civil War).

Today, Savannah, with a population of a quarter million, is well known as the site of several scenes from the movie 'Forrest Gump' and 'Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil' was written and filmed on location there.

In addition, the cuisine and nightlife in the city is as lively as you're likely to experience anywhere in the U.S., mainly because "…you never know what you're gonna get."

Food and Drink

Being so near the river and the ocean, the seafood in Savannah is always served fresh and usually comes with a southern flair, like the oysters at the Savannah Seafood Company on River Street. But if you get the chance try a meal at the world-famous Pirates House. The building is as old as the city, having been built as a botanical garden and served as an Inn and Public House for weary sailors, pirates, artists and dignitaries alike. Be sure to order a 'skullcrusher' when you're there—the name says it all!

Nightlife

Downtown Savannah is centered around River Street, and it is the home of the most happening nightlife in the city. Start your night at 'Wet Willies', then stumble from bar to bar back to the hotel from there. If you decide to have a dangerous frozen concoction there named 'call-a-cab' it would be a good idea after drinking it to do just that!

Attractions

For fans of the movie Forrest Gump you must visit Savannah's Chippewa Square (one of 19 in the city) to see the spot where Forrest waited for the number 9 bus to stop and take him to Jenny's house. This, also, is one of those few American cities where an Old Town Trolley tour would be extremely beneficial in order to see as much of this historical city as your time will allow.

Six days ago I was given Levaquin to fight a sinus infection & altho I have taken the drug several years ago, I didn't experience joint pain at that time. The pain didn't start until about the 3rd day but it has gotten worse each day. I am now concerned that this may be related to the medicine since I have never had such trouble.At this point, i am ready to stop the medicine as the pain is getting worse! Thanks for all help!
Could the antibiotic Levaquin be causing unusal pain in joints such as shoulders & knees?

Yes, it does cause joint and knee pain. I took it for upper resp. on the last day of a ten day usage. I started with fire in my knees and shakes in my legs. My dr for my Alpha-1 told me that I should NEVER have been given LEVAQUIN AND PREDNISON TOGETHER. And if any doctor tries to give it to me again to have them call him. I am still having problems from it and I used it in April 2009. I have trouble swallowing and polymyositis from it. Tell your dr who gave it to you the problem and if he does take care of the pain/ problem. Go and see an RA for the pain. Good luck and make sure you note it on your allergy list.

text: Home Culture Air Jordans, Marketing and Lost Minds The limited production and hyped-up release of new Jordan sneakers drove crowds wild. By: Deron Snyder Posted: Dec. 23 2011 7:21 PM 0 Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images The scenes were reminiscent of the worst Black Friday incidents: Shoppers lining up for hours and breaking through doors. Folks suffering injuries from being trampled or punched. Police resorting to pepper spray to subdue unruly crowds. Except this wasn't Black Friday. It was an Air Jordans-release Friday, and it prompted an outbreak of madness, mayhem and melees across the country. The Jordan XI Concords are replicas of the shoes Michael Jordan wore when he returned to the NBA in 1995 after his one-year hiatus as a minor-league baseball player. Retailing for $180 for men (lower prices for children and -- yes -- toddlers), the white shoes with the black patent leather surrounding the bottom revolutionized the sneaker industry. But they're still just sneakers, no matter how much status is misguidedly attached to them. The craziness surrounding Air Jordans seemed to die down in recent years -- nothing compared to the danger of purchasing and/or wearing early versions of the shoe, created in 1985. There were reports of muggings and even murder by miscreants who wanted a pair without having to purchase them. Unfortunately, the sense of "anything goes" has seemingly returned. While a Friday murder over the shoes in the Washington, D.C., area has been rumored but not confirmed, no one will be surprised if such a crime does occur. Based on accounts from Georgia (where a mother reportedly left her toddlers in the car while purchasing the shoes) to California (where the crowd was turned away after a gunshot rang out) to New Jersey (where police arrested a group of five that snatched three pairs of shoes from shoppers and drove off), the wildness has just begun. Nike, which makes an estimated $1 billion annually on Air Jordans, helped create the frenzy by suggesting that the shoes would be in limited supply. In a pre-release statement, the company said, "Tinker made it shine. Mike made it fly. You made it iconic. Jordan 11s only come around once a year, so don't miss this highly anticipated release." Spokesmen from the company were hard to find Friday as news from malls and other outlets poured in. But we already know what they'll say: that they condemn any violence associated with their products and urge fans to increase the peace. Nike is great at marketing and promoting its products, but we can't blame the company if folks respond by acting like fools. That's a look-in-the-mirror problem -- but not looking down at what's on your feet. Looking straight ahead at what's in your mind. (Continued from Page 1) Like The Root on Facebook.

Parker Drilling Company Stock Downgraded (PKD)
TheStreet) -- Parker Drilling Company (NYSE: PKD) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from buy to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, revenue growth and expanding profit margins. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity and feeble growth in the company's earnings per share. Highlights from the ratings report include:NEW YORK (
-- Written by a member of TheStreet Ratings Staff
- Compared to its closing price of one year ago, PKD's share price has jumped by 29.74%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame. Regarding the stock's future course, our hold rating indicates that we do not recommend additional investment in this stock despite its gains in the past year.
- PKD's revenue growth trails the industry average of 15.7%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 4.5%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- 40.90% is the gross profit margin for PARKER DRILLING CO which we consider to be strong. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of -49.80% is in-line with the industry average.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Energy Equipment & Services industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 572.5% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from -$13.41 million to -$90.18 million.
- Current return on equity is lower than its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of weakness within the company. Compared to other companies in the Energy Equipment & Services industry and the overall market, PARKER DRILLING CO's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

Man, did I get jipped. I graduated from Wazzu in spring of '07. Since then, my alma mater has added a Panda Express to its on-campus dining center and approved the selling of alcohol at sporting events. Had these two things existed during my time in Pullman, I would be 20 pounds heavier and an alcoholic. Or dead. (Okay, so maybe it's a good thing I left before the orange chicken invasion.)
Next week Wazzu is bringing in Memphis hailing hip-hop group Three 6 Mafia to entertain its Cougs. The show, slated for Saturday, January 31, is already sold out. I'm bitter as hell.
I love Three 6 Mafia. The thought of drinking a cough syrup-Sprite-Jolly Rancher concoction makes my stomach turn. But I used to bump "Sippin' on Some Syrup" regardless. My freshman year roommate and I used to shout in unison, "We eat so many shrimp, I got iodine poisoning!" just for the hell of it. We did this at least a couple times a day, which others found funny/ annoying. (Mostly annoying.)
I've got to applaud the Student Entertainment Board for pulling this shit off. When I was in Pullman, our musical "treat" came courtesy of Rooney--the lame band whose claim to fame is that they sang an annoying song called "I'm Shakin'" on The O.C.
C'mon Three 6 Mafia! You guys are already going to be in the state. Can't you swing by Seattle, too?

New Tech to Find Your Keys (and Kids)
Indiegogo and buy stickers for as little as $15 each. Afterward, it'll cost you about $20 a sticker at sticknfind.com.iMpulse Another crowdfunding success is the iMpulse Controller, which targets mobile gamers who happen to misplace their keys. Really, though, the key-fob device is intended to be used as a remote control for games on a smartphone. It's for the person who misses that tactile response of pushing a button. Besides serving as a portable Bluetooth joystick, iMpulse also turns into a key finder and a camera-phone remote so you don't have to set a timer. Early backers of the Kickstarter project got a chance to buy an iMpulse for $25 and creators are opening up pre-orders at impulsecontroller.com/storefront.php for the same price, plus shipping and handling. When the product becomes widely available, which could be as soon as the second quarter of 2013, the company expects retail prices to be around $40. BiKN The BiKN, pronounced beacon, mashes mobile app and two pieces of hardware with a heavy dose of Apple (AAPL)-influenced design. BiKN, introduced earlier this year, uses the lesser-known 802.15.4 wireless technology, which isn't built into iPhones, hence a special case is required. It also requires "tags," which look like key fobs and must be attached to every item you don't want to lose. A benefit of the 2-piece hardware setup is that the BiKN phone case comes with its own battery so it doesn't run down the phone's. The tags, meanwhile, can be recharged over USB. A starter kit comes with two tags and an iPhone case for $130 at bikn.com. MicroTrax Putting a label on your keychain can help with its recovery. But it's not wise to attach your home address to a keychain with your house and car keys. Third party services, like BoomerangIt and StuffBak provide tags with ID numbers and act as the go between for losers and finders.The stickers use typical watch batteries, which last about a year. This project also turned to crowdfunding to get started. Through Jan. 14, you can back the project at

But amidst all the good stuff (and, rest assured, there was plenty...

A character in Project X touts the onscreen house party as the most epic one of all time. There's no doubting that.

To Misters Matt Drake and Michael Bacall, I attended a screening of Project X this past week, a film for whose script you two are inescapably responsible, and wanted to congratulate you on crafting one of the single most vile, reprehensible, and culturally detrimental films in recent memory.

Gay Marriage in D.C.: One Officiant, Three Months, 44 Same-Sex Weddings
When same-sex marriage was legalized in D.C. this March, Mike Newman offered himself up to officiate local gay marriages free-of-charge. Since them, Newman has wedded 44 of the District's same-sex couples—and one opposite-sex pair. Here's a taste of the ceremonies he's seen:
* "Most of them I'd describe as sort of guerrilla-style," Newman says of the typical same-sex wedding he's been called to officiate. "We'll find a public space and do a ceremony that lasts only a minute or two . . . most of the the time it's just the couple says," he says. Newman, 43, says his officiant style is likely to attract more casual couples: "I'm obviously not a wedding professional, and I made it known I'm up for doing this wherever, whenever," he says.
* Also turning to Newman: Couples who don't want to get hassled by mainstream officiants of unknown tolerance level. "A lot of people I've spoken to are used to seeing a lot of discrimination. If they just make a blind phone call to an officiant and it comes out that it's a gay wedding, it can turn out to be a big deal," says Newman. "I'm vocal about wanting to perform these weddings, so they know right away it's not a problem."
* Since March, Newman has performed same-sex weddings in front of the Capitol, outside the U.S. Botanic Garden, in various local restaurants, on the roof of the Newseum, and in his own Capitol Hill living room. "A lot of people just drop by my house," says Newman."We've done half-a-dozen or so in my home, either in the living room or in the backyard," he says.
* Since March, Newman has also lent his services to a couple of heterosexuals. "I've performed one opposite-sex marriage in the past few months," says Newman. "It was a couple who said they were waiting to get married until their friends could get married, so it was a part of the same trend."
* On the first day same-sex marriage was legal in D.C., Newman performed eight weddings. Now the demand has tricked down to about one wedding a week. As demand has gone down, Newman's rate has increased. "I have recently started charging for the weddings," says Newman. As of a few weeks ago, the current going rate for his services is about $50 a pop. He's also recently taken on an apprentice—Newman recently endorsed his wife to become an officiant, as well.

One Capitol Hill business owner is tired of Occupy Seattle. So today he/she expressed that frustration on Twitter, while also daring Mayor Mike McGinn to
One Capitol Hill business owner is tired of Occupy Seattle. So today he/she expressed that frustration on Twitter, while also daring Mayor Mike McGinn to do something about the protests.
"I'm the last person who would turn down free press/adv," he/she wrote to us in a direct message. "but this is how scary freaked we are of these people."
The owner's tirade included a lot of now familiar criticisms of the protesters--that they're smelly, unshowered hippies who smoke too much weed. But beyond the stereotypes, the owner also expressed the unique frustrations of someone trying to run a small business, while also making a valid point: If it's the undue influence of corporations in America that you're railing against, Capitol Hill isn't the ideal place to pitch a tent.
We're also not going to name the owner's store. But without giving anything away, it's somewhere near the Seattle Central Community College lawn that the local Occupy movement migrated to at the beginning of the month. (A move that the college has fought since before it even took place.)
When I reached the owner today via Twitter he/she had just finished explaining to someone else why McGinn "hates" Capitol Hill business owners.
"Mayor also raised meters, while lowering UW" he/she wrote, referring to McGinn's parking rate hike, "we have no paid lots."
The owner says that sales this month have been as bad if not worse than those from last January, which is typically his/her slowest. And when the owner calls long-time customers that live on the Eastside about new products in stock, he/she says the first thing they hear from them is that they'll wait until Occupy is over before they come in.
"have relied on huge eastside/north seattle/lynnwood biz for years- not coming in. Before lack of parking, now add this," he/she wrote. "add a homeless camp w/an image of violence, & Hill has another major problem, small biz wise."
As for what McGinn could do about Occupy, the owner had this to say: "if he supported SBiz(which he doesn't) he'd guide this camp to a park or let them stay at westlake where it IS corporate."

Hammer the flats, crush the uphills, fly down and do it again on the Atomic World Cup Skate FL Hard Track ski, Atomic's lightest, top-of-the-line skate offering. Made specifically for—wait for it—hard track conditions, this ski features a stiff Nomex featherlight core with Densolite sidewalls for torsional rigidity and explosive rebound to give you extra power on every push, and a low-profile anti-vibration tip and double running groove provide stability and tracking when you're hitting VO2 max, slobbering on yourself, and feeling your legs start to give out. Atomic also designed these beauties with a hard-condition-specific flex and extra-long contact points at the tip and tail for increased glide and push. Throw in Atomic's 50000-index World Cup base, and you've got a ski that will love every bit of energy you put into it.

awesome ice conditions ski
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
For hard track skis, stability is essential. But weight and liveliness help too. Atomic (same factory setup as Salomon for most nordic skis) makes a good combo for both, lively and flexible for a not so chattery ride. Just make sure to nail the fit
How much do these weigh at 185cm?

Why Your Awesome Blog Posts Have No AudiencePosted by Kuno Creative
You've heard it before: every business needs a blog. If you want people to find your website and care about your company, blogging is the trick. So business after business has started publishing content and maybe even hired writers or agencies to produce content of a high quality. Yet still the visitors don't come.
The content is good. It answers your prospects' questions and addresses their concerns. It's well written and entertaining. But no one seems to be reading it.
If quality and relevance aren't the problem, what could possibly be going wrong?

Blue eyes stared around the room in distress. The last thing he remembered was crawling into bed for some much needed sleep. Now he's tied to his bed completely naked with the feeling that someone was watching. "You seem upset doll," a sinister voice said from the shadows. Blue eyes widened in shock. "Who are you?" the male asked, his voice starting to quake from his fear. Chuckling, another man appeared before him. "The name is Jason doll, but tonight you will call me Master," he purred, a smirk on his face. "W-what do you want from me?" the other male asked even though he knew the answer. "I just want to have a little fun with ya Alfred," he cooed straddling the other.
Alfred wasn't surprised the other knew his name. Hell, he was a very well known guy. Jason bit Alfred's neck hard enough to draw blood, not liking that the other seemed to be lost in his thoughts. Alfred yelped and glared at Jason. "What the hell was that for?" he snapped, a little bit of his confidence returning. "That was a warning," Jason answered shortly. Alfred raises an eyebrow. "A warning for what?"
"To not think about anything but your master," Jason said and started to attack Alfred's neck and collar bone with bites. Alfred whimpered helplessly as the other left marks, showing who he belonged to. Satisfied, Jason stopped and forced Alfred's eyes to meet his red ones. "I'm going to show you the time of your life babe" he said with a smirk. Jason pulled his pants off. Followed quickly by his boxers. Alfred shivered in fear. He didn't want this, but there was nothing he could do.
"Ready?" Jason asked. He didn't wait for Alfred to respond and thrusted into him, groaning at how tight he was. Alfred cried out in pain, not expecting that to happen so suddenly. Without giving Alfred time to adjust, Jason started to thrust at a fast pace. Soon Alfred was a moaning mess under the other male, who smirked. "You look like you are enjoying yourself babe," he said and started to slam into Alfred, effectively cutting off Alfred's response. Jason dug his nails into Alfred's hips, drawing blood, and thrusted faster if it was even possible.
"I-I'm close," Alfred whimpered. "Already babe?" Jason asked and aimed his thrusts to hit a certain spot that caused Alfred to scream in pleasure and cum. Grunting, Jason came not long after Alfred and collapsed on top of him. "I hate you" Alfred muttered and closed his eyes. "Love ya too babe" Jason said when Alfred was asleep.

Description of our house
Our house is a large detached house in a cul-de-sac located in a suburb in the west of Edinburgh called Corstorphine. Downstairs, we have a kitchen with an informal dining area and utility room off, as well as a family TV room which leads into a conservatory, a living room with TV/hi-fi and a double bedroom.Upstairs we have a master bedroom with en- suite, three single bedrooms and a family bathroom. Attached to the house is a double garage and we have 3 adult bikes and 3 children's bikes also. Outside we have a good sized south-facing garden which is completely enclosed, so is safe for children. The centre of Edinburgh is easily reached by bus or tram and the stop is 5 minutes from our house, and the rest of Scotland is easily accessible as we live close to the motorway access and we are 10minutes drive from the airport. We have a seven seater car which we are happy to swap.

Our neighborhood
Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland and is famous for it's landmark castle which is in the centre of town. It has an Old (historic) Town (built from 12thC) linked to the New Town (built 18thC) but both are well served by shops, pubs and restaurants. Edinburgh has many attractions such as the Zoo (nearby), the museums (many and varied), a palace (Holyrood) and lots of green spaces such as Holyrood Park and the Royal Botanic Gardens. There are many leisure facilites also including cycle paths, swimming pools football pitches etc. and hillwalking in the nearby Pentland Hills or skiing down the artificial ski slope there. In August there is a world class arts festival and book festival.
Something about ourselves
We are a married couple ( Martin and Fiona) with three children. We are both teachers (Support for Learning and German) so we have lots of holidays together. We have done house swap seven times successfully and enjoyed it each time. Our children are twins aged 13 and our eldest son is age 14, so our house is family friendly. We have no pets sadly as we work every day. We like to travel and our children love going on holiday ! We love the outdoors and enjoy walking and cycling in our local area, as well as swimming in our local pool. The children enjoy music and cinema, plus all the usual electronic diversions!
