Country First calls to mind Deutschland über alles, but it also has an air of enigmatic ungrammaticality thanks to the lack of a determiner (Our Country First? My Country First? Their Country First? Any Old Country First? Yummy Delicious Country First?).
But let's not forget that Tweedledee's slogan, Change, is equally ludicrous and (given the reality) equally fascist. The two candidates have exactly the same policies on every issue of substance; see, e.g., http://www.johnpilger.com/page.asp?partid=492. Of course, this should be no surprise, since they're owned by the same corporations, namely Goldman Sachs, UBS, JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Lehman Brothers, and Morgan Stanley (see http://www.opensecrets.org/index.php). And it is worth recalling, in case one wonders who ought to run the country, that the views of ordinary people on such issues are, by contrast, largely quite rational: http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/articles/brunitedstatescanadara/383.php?lb=brusc&pnt=383&nid=&id=.

I agree that "Change" is vacuous. But it doesn't strike me as performatively contradictory. "Country First" is a campaign slogan, which is by definition something designed to help win a campaign. If "Country First" is shorthand for "country first, not election winning," then it seems odd (again, in the neighborhood of performative contradiction) to use that very sentiment as a campaign slogan.

That sounds right to me. "Change we can believe in" is just a lie, whereas "Country First," on your reading, could never be true. Also, they're both so vague that they could be sympathetically re-packaged for any target market, whereas each is supposed to function performatively as a kind of commitment to a regulative ideal (i.e., something like a promise). McCain's, then, is performatively contradictory, and both are performatively dishonest, since neither candidate is committed to anything but the worship of Mammon.

"Country First" seems right up there with "My Country, Right or Wrong!" in terms of dumbing down a campaign by jingoistic means.
For example does it mean that the opposition to a "Country First" campaign believes that certain interests should be placed above loyalty to country, as the slogan implies, and that it is somehow wrong to hold such beliefs?
If certain beliefs such as conformity to the terms of the Geneva Convention, the UN Declaration of the Rights of Man, and even the US Declaration of Independence that the US has embraced for years are somehow deemed traitorous thoughts, what does that say about the nature of dissent and opposing views in this country if such a politician comes to power who uses the motto of "Country First"?
Lastly, how can someone campaign under a motto of "Country First" yet have been an author of an immigration bill that rewarded people for breaking US immigration laws thereby compromising border security and population control? Unless the motto is a parenthetical: "(Every other country but the US) Country First", the motto rings false. No other country looks the other way as much as the US when it comes to immigration and working papers. As someone who was a candidate for jobs in the UK and HK, I can tell you the legal hoops one has to leap through to work in those countries in particular is much more diificult than for someone to be able to earn a living in the US.

English: Great posts. As far as the Pilger piece however, there are a couple of problems that seem to hint at an underlying bias against the Democratic party in his writing.
Pilger wrote: "This has been the case since the truly historic and exciting victory of Harry Truman, the liberal Democrat said to be a humble man of the people, who went on to show how tough he was by obliterating two cities with the atomic bomb." There is a huge historical problem with the implication presented in that passage. The passage implies that Truman obliterated two cities after his electoral victory. That is impossible considering the two cities were bombed in 1945 and he was elected president in 1948. At the very least, it is shoddy research and editing for Pilger to say that, at the most it is a blatant lie or contortion of facts based on his ideology in order to make a point.
Later on, Pilger states: "He (Obama) comes from an unbroken Democratic tradition, as the war-making of presidents Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter and Clinton demonstrates." This seems to imply that the US Republican party does not make war. One only has to look at both Bush administrations, Reagan's multiple military intrigues, Nixon's expansion of the Vietnam conflict into Cambodia & Laos, the Eisenhower Doctrine, and even Lincoln's pursuit of military supremacy over the Confederacy to see that no one party in the US has a monopoly on war making. Rather than calling such an unbroken tradition "Democratic", perhaps a "American" would have been a more accurate adjective to use in the unbroken tradition of US Presidential war making. The fact that Pilger skews his language in that way also shows either an intellectual sloppiness or an unstated agenda.

I wonder if there's a more generous reading of 'Country First.' Perhaps it is about what one's ultimate ends are in politics and thereby makes a (not so subtle) contrast with other chains of motivation:
X's motives are such that whatever progress she makes in her career are means to the greater end, pursuing the good of the country. Y's motives are inverted so that pursuit of the good of the country is only one among many means to pursue her own good.
As I see it, the strategy, though it has performative tension (which you note), is nevertheless intelligible. The statement "I'd rather win a war and lose an election than lose a war to win an election" is strictly comparative... surely given the contrasts with someone who had the different values, the greatest preference would be to win the war and win the election over that other guy!
The tension, I don't think, yield the contradiction Spiros is pointing out, then -- it's more on the order of the rhetorical strategy of saying: "I won't mention my opponent's drinking habits and womanizing, which though disgusting and immoral, are immaterial ad hominem attacks in a debate that really comes a question of our character." It's *sneaky* to be sure, but I don't see it as a contradiction that undermines the claim.
That said, it's really Palin that's the intellectually vicious one. When do we get to savage *her* here?

English: I'm unsure it's precisely the case that the slogan, "Change we can believe in," is just a lie. The slogan is a modal claim, turning upon what change *can* be believed. The change that *can* be believed in may be non-existent (no change at all). So, the slogan "Change we can believe in" isn't false under these conditions. We can't believe in any change, and that's the change we *can* believe. It's a bit difficult to speak about the truth conditions of slogans, but the modal auxiliary verb really comes in handy rhetorically and the opaque belief context renders it a field day. Just as one might believe the morning star is venus, and not believe the evening star is venus, one might believe Candidate X is Business-As-Usual while not believing Candidate Y is Business-As-Usual. Maybe we need a special name for this, something like "substituting into political contexts!"

In fact, "Country First" seems to me to be somewhat of a performative truism, not a contradiction. Even if one's final goal was to win the election, that can only be accomplished through the collective action of the country, first. By "first" we can mean both temporally and logically antecedent. Before Obama can win a presidential election, the country must elect him president (of course, Bush might have indicated the unsoundness of that argument). And by definition (though we can argue about the practical realities--but that would require extricating ourselves from our very comfortable armchairs) a democratic election necessitates the collective action of the country. There is no candidate without the constituency (the term "constituency" is not a coincidence).
"Change" may be in some sense vacuous. But in terms of the historical and social conditions in which the term is employed, it does hold some value and meaning. However, that meaning is more appropriately characterized as a visceral reaction to an undesirable political situation. I am much more concerned by the rejections to Obama's slogan. While the slogan of "change" may be intrinsically empty, I do not think we can deem it socially and contextually empty. However, the rejections to "change" are often downright defiant of logic. I recall listening to one person say something along the lines of, "We don't need 'change' [sarcastically inflected], we need a plan to improve our economic situation, we need to get jobs to hardworking Americans..." etc. Well, considering there is anything that we do "need," and supposing that we don't have it now, the only possible description of moving from undesirable state A to desirable state B is "change."

Santa: Pilger's claim that all Democratic presidents have been warmongers does not entail that the Republicans are peaceniks; in fact, it does not entail anything at all about the Republicans, who Pilger assumes we'll know are warmongers as well. His point is that the two aren't different in this respect and never have been (Truman was supposed to be a liberal Democrat and a man of the people; he was also a mass-murderer). Pilger knows this to be true because he's spent much of his life going to various dangerous places to record first-hand the human costs of American aggression. See his book Heroes for a taste of the sort of thing he's up to.

729: There's definitely, as you say, a plausible reading of "Change we can believe in" where it would mean "Change that it is possible to believe in." But this would also be trivially true: it's possible to believe in anything that comes into our heads. We could believe that we are being persecuted by wily unicorns, we could believe that we have a square circle tattooed on our eyelids, we could believe that pushing a button in a booth (or standing around with platitudes on sticks) constitutes real political action. But surely the pragmatics of the situation encourage us to construe the slogan to mean "Change that is actually plausible," i.e., change one's belief in which would actually be warranted by the facts. So here's the revised summary: McCain's slogan is either trivially false or it's a lie; Obama's slogan is either trivially true or it's a lie. As always, the worshippers of Mammon dally much with the strumpet Rhetoric.

English: I will concede that the Democratic president argument of Pilger's is valid, although there is some bias in the slant of the language of the article when he could of just as easily said "all Presidents" and been much more accurate with less overt political partisanship.
However, Pilger fucks up the timeline with Truman rather disingenuously. He talks about Truman's historic victory predating the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. That is not true. Truman had his historic victory after the bombings and despite them. It is very easy to call a leader a "mass murder" in a time of war depending upon your ideology. The idea of a victory in war is to make the other side capitulate as quickly as possible with the minimal amount of casualties to your people. In that regard, facing an Imperial Japan that was motivated to die for their Shinto god, the emperor, which of the following is more of a mass murdering tactic?
a) forcing an invasion which probably would have seen over 500,000+ Allied troops killed and 2,000,000 Japanese civilians and military killed
b) total Japanese casualties of >200,000 and smashing the will of a nation state to wage war and believe in the infallibility of their leader as a god and follow him into future schemes of military intrigue.
Remember, Imperial Japan was not a placid regime if you read any of the accounts of what Imperial Japan's actions from the 1870's through WWII. This was not a government that could be considered peaceful to its neighbours and the religion frowned upon surrender.
To call Truman a mass murderer is to call any leader who has to make the awful choice of using extreme force to end a military campaign a "mass murderer", which renders the term at best toothless and at worst a morally relativistic shell game of a term. It basically groups Lincoln, Truman, and FDR into the same rarefied club as Stalin, Hitler, Hirohito, and Pol Pot by such a careless use of term.
Pilger's work carries a certain slant which seems to think that the world would be better off without any American intervention. However, the example of WWII is an example of when it actually helped curb three of the most reprehensible nation states: Imperial Japan, Nazi Germany, and Fascist Italy. So there are times when such military interventionism produces a greater good than inaction or Chamberlain style diplomacy would.

Santa: To murder someone is to deliberately cause them to die (cf. Latin mori, 'to die'). The attributive use of mass in a compound means "relating to, involving, or affecting large numbers, or the majority, of people or things" (see OED "mass, n.2"). Hence, mass murder is deliberately killing people in large numbers, no matter who is doing it or what the circumstances are. So by the normal, literal, straightforward meanings of the words, and based on the uncontroversial facts in the historical record, Truman is a mass murderer.
Your general claim, then, is that mass murder is, in some circumstances, morally right. Your particular claim is that the mass murders Truman committed by ordering the use of atomic weapons against Japanese civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were committed under circumstances adequate to make the act morally right (and I assume you'd say the same about the Tokyo firebombing, the Dresden firebombing, etc.). This second claim (along with the associated reasoning you provide above) is, in my view, not even remotely consistent with the historical record, since the Japanese had officially offered surrender long before he dropped the bombs (just not on Truman's draconian terms) and since Truman's avowed purpose (as his journals make clear) had to do with securing US economic and political hegemony and not with saving human lives of any nationality. But these issues have been debated extensively in the scholarly literature, and I don't see much point in us replicating that debate here.
I also disagree with your general claim. In my view, mass murder is never morally right under any circumstances whatsoever. Your final paragraph makes the extremely reductive assumption that there are circumstances (WWII is the standard example) in which the only options are mass murder and absolute inaction. Since we are talking about a very large number of human beings (the whole world), each with the usual nearly unbounded range of possible actions, many aggregated into collective entities that themselves have a nearly unbounded range of possible actions, and who could potentially be aggregated into other collective entities that would also have a nearly unbounded range of possible actions, it is ludicrous to suggest that there are only two alternatives. So the only argument you've given or implied to support your general claim does not seem to me convincing.
Also, if you think that mass murder is only sometimes morally wrong, it seems to me that you've given up on the idea of categorical wrongness itself: if right and wrong are determined by circumstances, then right and wrong are relative. You seem to think that using the term categorically and consistently is "a morally relativistic shell game"; I can't make any sense of your reasoning on that point. If you think mass murder is wrong, then you think it's wrong no matter who does it—that is precisely the absolutist position, not the relativist one.
In any case, you're certainly right that the sentence from Pilger you quote suggests an erroneous chronology. But the chronology is irrelevant to the point he's making, namely that if you think the Democrats in general aren't warmongers, or if you think Obama in particular isn't a warmonger, you are mistaken.
- September 7, 2008 at 3:54 PM
English Jerk: There are extreme circumstances in which murder is correct IMHO such as self preservation, nation state preservation, and economic independence preservation. There are more examples in history of those who escape the fate of victims and casualties by subscribing to such a view than by joining hands in a circle and singing Kumbaya or imitating Gandhi or trying to negotiate without serious consequences or hoping the "proper authorities" will intervene. I prefer to live and have a roof over my head, if I needed to defend myself or my family by murder to do it, so be it. Not everyone will make that choice, however I do and I have no qualms defending those that follow the same path under such circumstances. So in that sense, I have not given up on "wrongness" as a concept, but I would prefer to be alive to have the debate rather than dead and have others debate the concept for me. And in ratcheting up the scale from the one to the many, mass murder in terms of war waging can be correct if the goal is to preserve one's existence in such circumstances as I outlined above.
Your definition makes every political leader who ever had a conflict or supported a conflict by historical action a mass murderer. If that is the case, you have just blunt the special sting of such a term in a world where the human animal when in herd are not pacifists historically speaking. I can understand Pilger doing that blunting with his defence of Pol Pot while condemning Truman's actions as he has an agenda in that regard.
As far as Obama being a warmonger, he will be one to a lesser extent than McCain as a lesser of two evils. That is something that Pilger has not really expounded on and I find his lack of voice on that subject rather petty in that regard. No human being who is inspired to be a leader for any length of time can measure up to Pilger's yardstick and survive in office. As someone who voted Perot and Ralph Nader in previous elections, I know the danger of protest voting without there being a large third party candidate voting block.

(1) Again you're repeatedly indulging in a false dichotomy (see above).
(2) Yes, every political leader who wages war is a mass murderer. Notice that ordinary people, unlike political leaders, are usually averse to war (see the link in my first post above for some data on Americans). This is why political leaders are always a bad idea and it would be better if ordinary people had direct control over the political and economic structure they inhabit.
(3) Pilger has never to my knowledge "defen[ded] Pol Pot", and it strikes me as rather unlikely that he would do so, given that he was one of the main people who made the rest of the world aware of the atrocities being committed by Pol Pot's regime (see his 1979 film Year Zero). If you have a citation, provide it.
(4) Voting for a third-party candidate, or not voting at all, can only be deemed "danger[ous]" if you think Big Business Party #1 and Big Business Party #2 are substantially different. And if you think that, you should vote for one of those two parties. If you think they are substantially the same and that their aims are malevolent, no amount of voting will fix things.
(5) Just because something has always happened does not mean that it will always happen, particularly in the case of willed human actions (as opposed to, say, the rotation of the earth). And anyway, no-one who makes the claim that x has always happened ever makes a serious attempt to prove it. Claims about all of human history are invariably cant.
(6) Both inaction and murder are ultimately motivated by the fear of death or harm. Being just involves doing what is right, regardless of death or harm. You can defend murder as pragmatic, or as 'natural' if you can provide some serious account of human nature, but it is obviously and categorically morally wrong in every circumstance. Virtue demands courage.

Dear English Jerk,
Are we to take you as being in earnest now, or joking? For if you are in earnest, and these things you're saying are really true, won't this human life of ours be turned upside down?
- September 12, 2008 at 12:01 AM
- English Jerk said...
729: I am in earnest. But if I weren't in earnest, and if your question about my earnestness also weren't in earnest, would that make your question a double negation of the predicate "in earnest," and thus itself in earnest?
- September 13, 2008 at 10:21 AM
- 729 said...
Drats...it seems like you didn't get the reference, although you got a part of the joke by analysis. I didn't say that. Plato wrote it. It's a line from the Gorgias. Following your debate with Santa up through the culminating (6) that could have been lifted directly from Plato's Apology, my post quoting the Gorgias was simply "'accusing" you of being Socrates. (That's a compliment, by the way.)
Callicles' question gets it right. If Socrates isn't joking, and what he says is true (and people did the right thing), human life as we experience it would be turned upside down. (Rhetoric would *never* be used to defend injustice and the just person would have no use for it, and it would be believed it's better to suffer injustice than to cause it, and we would never return a wrong for a wrong.) The Socratic answer to Callicles is "Yes, I'm in earnest. Let's turn everything upside down!"

729: I see your Drats, and raise you several Dammits. I thought that nom de plume looked familiar, but it's been a shameful decade since I read Gorgias. Mea fucking culpa, dude.

- 729 said...
English: Well, you know, you make your reference, you take your chances. I think there's enough nostrae culpae to go around. (Although, I really have no clear sense if 'dude' is non-gendered, or we go with [*cringes*] 'dudette'.)
- September 14, 2008 at 6:15 PM
- English Jerk said...
729: Well I'd always thought of dude as gender-neutral, and (729 being as gender-neutral as they get) I'd intended it as such here. But now you've got me looking into it. According to the OED, its exact origins are obscure, but it first seems to be attested in 1883 as a term for a specific kind of young, male dandy in New York, subsequently being applied out West to a city-slicker who slums on ranches. In a parallel development, from which current usage seems to stem, it appears in black urban vernaculars ca. 1918 as a term for a (presumably male) member of one's circle, and it drifts from there toward increasing neutrality, referring, it seems, in the most recent quotations just to some male, but otherwise unspecified, person. In any event, if isn't gender-neutral, it should be, both because it lacks any productive inflectional morphology marking gender and because, as you say, dudette is intolerable.
- September 14, 2008 at 8:08 PM
Isn't the real point--and this is hopelessly outdated I realize, and no one will ever read this--that McCain's slogan literally put "country" first? That is, there were no words before it, making the slogan a performative of what McCain promised to do? Sort of stupidly clever, right?

Trey Hillman Pregame Media Session: September 8
Not packing it in, no way!
Royals Manager Trey Hillman was asked about a few rumblings that his team was making a less then thrilling effort coming down the stretch. "Absolutely not, there is not one individual in that locker room giving up on the season. For one, I would not let that happen, and two that is not the kind of makeup of people we have on this team. We need to finish hard, no one is quitting including myself, and we will continue to fight until the last game is played. We play hard everyday, for ourselves, our families, and for the fans. That is the kind of baseball we play here in Kansas City, we play hard," Hillman said.
Lenny D. and Alex G.
The Royals called up LHP Lenny DiNardo and 3B Alex Gordon from the Triple-A affiliate Omaha Royals. "DiNardo is going to start the last game of the series against Detroit (Thursday 9/10) and we are going to push Zack (Greinke) back a game and have him start the beginning of the Cleveland series. The reports are good on DiNardo, he has an excellent change-up and has developed what is said to be a pretty above average breaking ball. When he was in spring training he was not carrying a good breaking ball around with him, so we are excited to see what he can do. With regards to Alex, again reports are good, it has been said that he was solid both offensively and defensively while playing in Omaha. We wanted him to work on shortening his swing as well as getting better with his stride direction. It is going to take longer and it's quite more difficult working with stride direction because it is tied into muscle memory and stuff of that nature. Shortening his swing will come with time. We are going to rest Alex tonight and see how he feels tomorrow after a long couple of days playing and traveling," Hillman exclaimed.

PINE GROVE - John Kocher has been coaching boys' basketball at Valley for a long time - 17 years to be exact.
And in all that time he's never had a squad like the one that will take the floor for the Tuesday, Dec. 4 at Tyler Consolidated.
''I think this may be the best shape a team in the program has been in in a while,'' Kocher said. ''They can just go and go and go and not run out of gas.
''Hopefully, we can wear some teams down.''
Stamina is just one positive attribute Kocher believes this year's team possesses.
''We have 24 kids out in grades 9-12 and that's the most we've probably had in about five years,'' Kocher said. ''And we keep getting better every day.''
The depth will come in handy for the Lumberjacks as Kocher is looking to replace four starters.
Gone are Clay Ueltschy, Hunter Ring, Brady Nolan, Drew Wade and Jon Smallwood. Ueltschy's loss will be the most felt as he averaged 20 points per game and 10 rebounds per game last season.
''But I have three seniors back that have some varsity experience and they're really looking good so far,'' Kocher said.
There are four seniors all together - Tyler Hayes, Troy Hubbard, Jordan Anderson and Ryan Lemley.
Hayes (5-foot-9) will play a guard spot.
''He's a decent 3-point shooter,'' Kocher said. ''He's worked on his dribble drive to the basket and he's a decent defensive player.''
Hubbard (5-10), also a guard, will mainly run the point because ''he's a good ball handler.''
In Anderson (5-10), Kocher has a solid 3-point shooter. Lemley (6-6) is the ''big man.''
''We're hoping he'll be our rebounder,'' Kocher said of Lemley. ''I put him in charge of rebounding.''
Tristan Kocher is the lone junior returning. He was second in scoring and rebounding last winter.
''He's gonna be asked to do a lot,'' John Kocher said. ''Last year, he was mainly an inside player. This year he'll be asked to do a bit of both. We're gonna move him around.''
Another junior is Jack Wells (6-3), the team's sixth man a season ago and third-leading rebounder.
''He's gotten a lot stronger and his vertical leap has increased,'' John Kocher said. ''We're looking for big things from him.''
Sophomore Hayden Lancaster (6-2) and freshman Trey Street (5-9) also show plenty of promise.
''Trey's one of the most talented freshmen I've had in a while,'' John Kocher said. ''He can do it all.''
Kocher is assisted by Leslie Lively.

Good chain. Smooth and strong. Nuff said.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This chain deff gets the job done but you can't beat the easy install and removal of a sram chain with the quick link. All in all I feel they are comparable. Problem free as long as you take care of it .
I use this on a DH/FR bike. I had been using Sram for a while and had multiple breaks on the same trails with the same bike. I switched to Shimano and the breaking chains stopped. Maybe a fluke or just luck; but, I only use Shimano chains since then even though I prefer the Sram cassettes and shifters.
I also still use a Sram Power Link when setting these up.
10 years and still going strong!
I have been using the same XT 9-speed chain on my hardtail since 1999. Yes, that aint a typo, over 10 years. I was prompted to do this review because after a once a year cleaning the chain still looks and performs like new.
If you think that is hard to believe consider this.
1. Perfect Shifts: The XT 9-speed group still shifts better than anything else I have used including SRAM 10-speed.
2. Long Lasting: The materials must be very high quality. My chain has been used for thousands of miles of riding and has stretched less than my 10-speed chain did in 10 months.
3.Durable: I haven't babied this chain at all. When I drop a chain I don't get off and fix it I unjam it and regear it while riding. I thought it should of snapped a couple time by never did.
4: Finish: I don't take care of my hardtail. I rarely lube the chain, let grim and mud build up and then power wash it off. For the first time in years I did a full drivetrain clean up and the sucker looks new. No rust just nice nickel plate.
Good chain, no complaints.
I bought this chain (along with a SRAM PG-907 cassette and XT shifters) to convert my lady's old 8-speed steel-frame hardtail to a 9-speed, and the whole system worked very well together.
What chain does Shimano makes that compares...
What chain does Shimano makes that compares to the KMC Z51 chain?
The KMC Z51 chain is a very cheap chain (MSRP 10$) so any of the shimano chains would be a nice upgrade for you.
will this chain work on a 8 speed
will this chain work on a 8 speed
Comment flagged as redundant. Click here to view.
i dont see why not. you will just have to use a chain tool to shorten the chain to fit your bike
Specifically, I believe the main difference between 8/9/10 speed chains is their width, which must be compatible with the spacing of your rear cassette. (If it's not, the shifting will be "terrible" to "completely unusable.")
I bought this chain (along with a SRAM PG-907 cassette and XT shifters) to convert my lady's old 8-speed steel-frame hardtail to a 9-speed, and the whole system worked very well together.
I always use shimano chains,the only time I used a different brand I broke the chain.
I have been using shimano chains since 1986!
Easy to assemble
Just make sure you get the length right before you link this up. Likely that it will be too long for your bike, initially. Easy to remove links with a chain tool before you put it together
will this also work as a 9 speed road bike...
will this also work as a 9 speed road bike chain? Is there a difference?
Yep, this will work just fine on a road bike 9-speed cassette. Honestly though, SRAM's chains rock. Backcountry only carries the 10-speed chains, but if you go to your local bike shop they should be able to set you up.Why SRAM chains you ask? One word: PowerLink.
Yes the same chain is sold for XT and Ultegra 9spd Drivetrains
PowerLinks work perfect on Shimano Chains. Just make sure you install the correct width PL (9 or 10 speed as appropriate).
At 700 miles on my XT chain, I had moved all my components to another frame. After breaking the XT link and reinstalling the chain on my new frame, I made the chain whole again with a PowerLink. I have put on another 600 miles since and the shifting is still Shimano Perfect!
Ride On!

Savoring the Rainbow, slow and easy
Thousands flock to Dunnellon's spring-fed river each year to tube
Published: Thursday, April 18, 2013 at 1:27 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 18, 2013 at 1:27 p.m.
With the warmer days of summer in sight, Matt Smith is already looking forward to one of his favorite warm-weather pastimes.
Rainbow River State Park Tubing Entrance
About a two-hour float past wilderness areas and picturesque homes along the river; exit is a short walk to parking area. Open weekends through Memorial Day, open daily through Labor Day
10830 SW 180th Ave. Road, Dunnellon
$10.60/person, includes tube rental, tram service and tax
465-8555; www.floridastateparks.org/rainbowsprings
KP Hole County Park Tubing Entrance
About a four-hour float from the park to the exit point just south of the CR 484 bridge over the river. Abbreviated schedule 8-11 a.m. daily until April 13, then 8 a.m.-12:45 p.m. daily.
9435 SW 190th Ave., Dunnellon
$10/person, includes tube rental, shuttle back to park and tax; $7 for shuttle service only. Park entrance fee is $5/person.
489-3055; online information
Tubing the Rainbow River.
The 15-year-old Vanguard High sophomore gets out on the river that flows the eastern edge of Dunnellon at least twice each summer.
"It's fun," Smith said on a cold day in March. "It's a great summer activity, and on the hot days it helps that the water is so cool."
The Rainbow River head springs is one of several Magnitude One springs in Marion County, so the river tends to be a constant 72 degrees. Hypothermia is not out of the question, but usually on 90-degree-plus days the slight chill from below is just what's needed.
But with tubing, much of the fun is what's above the water. There's wildlife, an ever-changing landscape and the attitude of just lazing away down the river like Huck Finn and Jim. Still, one of the region's crystal-clear springs is right under your floating bottom, so there is as much to see underneath you as there is above the surface.
Smith is hardly alone. During the peak summer months, thousands will join him for the leisurely float down the river Rainbow River.
Yep. Thousands.
Last July, in fact, nearly 16,000 tubers set out from the Rainbow River State Park for two-hour floats. And it's likely just as many launched from the KP Hole County Park on the western bank of the Rainbow for the four-hour jaunt to south of the County Road 484 bridge.
"It's an enjoyable day," said Rainbow Springs Park Manager Jim Smyth. "It's a nice family thing to do."
Tubing season gets under way this month on weekends through Memorial Day, when the launches are open every day of the week. Both parks warn tubers, however, to get there early; the gates close as soon as the parking lots fill. From then, it's one car in for every one car out.
But Smyth warned there are some rules for tubers, regardless which side of the river they launch from.
First, county ordinances prohibit disposable food and beverage containers along on trips. If you take it into the water with you, you bring it out with you.
Also, alcohol is not allowed. Period.
Tubes can be rented on either side of the river. Or you can bring your own; however, if you bring your own, you'll still pay the same park price.
Bring sunscreen. "There are patches along the river where there's no shade and you can get sunburned," Smyth said.
And Smyth warned about hypothermia; also, boats, some motorized, share the river, though they are supposed to travel at no-wake speed. Still, tubers do need to be aware of them.
And one other, sometimes dire, concern is noted on a KP Hole tubing info website: Don't go onto private properties along the route.
"Most residents will help in time of a true emergency and will make sure the proper agencies are alerted of the situation," the website noted. "'Can I use your bathroom' is not a true emergency. You may want to take care of that event before you embark on the journey."

Washington, DC (WUSA) -- This weekend a special breast cancer event will open up for men only, but not for the 1% of men diagnosed with breast cancer.
The special event is open to the men who are co-survivors and want to learn how to better care for the women they love who have breast cancer. It is Men Against Breast Cancer's National Caregivers Conference that will be opening in Atlanta this year.
Buddy Check 9 first interviewed Marc Heyison and his mother Gloria 16 years ago.
"When you hear the words your mother has breast cancer, I felt helpless and hopeless; but my first thought my mom was going to die", says Marc Heyison, founder and president of MABC.
Back then, Marc, his father and brother were unsure what to do for his mother. There were no manuals to follow; they were on their own.
Today Gloria is a thriving 19-year survivor. Her illness created an activist in Marc, and in 1996, he started the Gloria Heyison Foundation. Three years after that he founded Men Against Breast Cancer.
"We are the first and only national nonprofit whose mission is to help men be there for the woman in their lives when breast cancer strikes", says Heyison.
Then in 2006, Men Against Breast Cancer held its first men only National Caregiver's Conference in Baltimore. The one day workshop brought in 50 men. Now 100 men are registered for two days of sharing, problem solving and support in Atlanta.
"We give each man a $125 travel scholarship at completion. We take care of hotel, meals, baseball game. The only thing they have to pay for is dinner Saturday night", says Heyison.
Men who have taken part of the National Caregiver's Conference have learned what to do with the hardships they face each and everyday. They have learned to react, reflect and respond like the courageous men they are.
"I've never been in a room full of men where I know all the guys here have cried the way I have. They've all shared the same fears, the same pain", says a member of the MABC.
Another member of the MABC shares, "The hardest part is I think my wife sometimes doesn't truly believe I will always be there".
These men do not have an easy task of being co-survivors but each man at the Caregiver Conference will take with them what Marc and his family did not have 19-years ago.
"They love their women so much they want to do whatever they can to make them better. For all the women who think men don't talk, they talk", says Heyison.

Meet the Biggest Loser 11 Contestants
Season 11 of the Biggest Loser has already generated a lot of buzz, thanks in part to crew members going on strike during the show's filming. Happily, the disagreements were resolved, and we're looking forward to the show's premiere on January 4th at 8:00.
The biggest news of all, Jillian says this is her last season.
Season 11 is the fourth season of The Biggest Loser to feature couples, but like season 10, you can be sure there will be some new surprises. However, the tough-love trainers Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper will still be pushing contestants to their limits, while the lovely Alison Sweeney will host.
The definition of "couples" on The Biggest Loser isn't limited to those who are romantically involved, as contestants include a mother-daughter team and twin brothers. All of the 22 contestants will compete to lose weight and shape-up, facing down emotional baggage and ridding themselves of unhealthy habits.

By Noah Glass, CEO of OLO
"If you build it, he will come" is the ghostly refrain Ray Kinsella hears as he walks through his Iowa cornfield in the 1989 film classic "Field of Dreams." The mantra has long been a favorite of entrepreneurs and innovators as they try to convince investors and consumers to adopt new technology before it has proven itself
Such has been the case with mobile payments. Technology companies are pouring research and development dollars (not to mention sales and marketing dollars) into mobile payments technology in an effort to win the "mobile wallet war."
Yet consumers have yet to adopt mobile payments en masse. In a recent blog post about mobile wallets on LAPTOP, author Daniel P. Howley quotes Denée Carrington, senior analyst with Forrester Research, who frames the problem simply, saying, "There has to be a compelling reason for consumers to use it." Carrington goes on to say, "There's nothing wrong with using a credit card today. There has to be a compelling reason even for early adopters beyond just the novelty."As one of my mentors is fond of saying, new technologies need to be more like painkillers (must-haves), than vitamins (nice-to-haves). It would seem that many mobile payment technologies are still B-12, not Benadryl.
Generally speaking, there are two main types of mobile payments/mobile wallets: (1) proximity mobile payments tied to a physical device (e.g., the original version of Google Wallet and the new ISIS platform) and (2) remote mobile payments tied to a cloud-based account and transmitted over the air (e.g., PayPal). Proximity mobile payments often utilize NFC or Near Field Communications technology, with an NFC reader at the point of sale and an NFC chip on or in the customer's NFC-enabled mobile device, such as a smartphone. The customer taps his NFC-enabled device on the reader to pay. Exciting? Not really. What consumer pain point does tapping a phone solve that swiping or tapping a card cannot?
Skip the Line: Mobile Payments in the Restaurant Industry
When OLO launched GoMobo.com — the first mobile ordering and payment service in the United States — in late 2005, it was with the understanding that mobile payments had to do more than just replace credit cards. The service needed to provide a customer experience far better than the status quo. Recognizing that common meal times nearly always lead to peak ordering demand, which means long lines to place an order, and customized, made-for-you foods mean long waits for food to be prepared, we dreamed of a world without cashiers and mysterious black boxes. We built a platform that tied payments to a mobile communication device that could send mobile payments through the air, remotely firing a highly customized order directly into the point of sale for production in the back of the house. The customer could now pre-pay and order through a mobile device and then skip the line at the restaurant. Regular customers immediately became VIPs, avoided time-killing wait times, and got their order they way they wanted it.
This VIP experience provides a far more compelling benefit for mobile payments users than fist-bumping an NFC-enabled device. But what does it do for the restaurateur? How do mobile payments numb the restaurateurs' pain?
Mobile payments enthusiasts highlight three major elements of value for operators:
1. Lower transaction costs
Those who make the case for lower fees often suggest that mobile payments can be linked to stored value accounts. That is, customers could prepay for credit at your store and then draw down from the deposited lump sum. Based on the tried-and-true gift card model, this has been a key to the success of Starbucks' mobile payment app, because it provides the brand with positive working capital (the prepayment) and it cuts down on the per-swipe element of credit card interchange by aggregating many small transactions into one large transaction. While Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts have proven that customers are willing to preload their everyday coffee accounts, it is less clear that customers will be willing to do so for less-frequent transaction types and therefore less likely that the average restaurant chain would realize the same "lower transaction cost" benefits of mobile payments.
2. Greater customer intelligence
The argument for "greater customer intelligence" comes from the notion that, unlike cash, mobile payments can link multiple transactions back to one user and provide a customer's transaction history that shows visit frequency and spend per visit. Brands that currently use loyalty cards may track the same data.
3. "Connected, customized, real-time marketing" (as described by Jim Edwards, Business Insider)
While lower transaction costs may be relevant, and greater customer intelligence is always nice, the real painkiller included in mobile payments is the fact that they are taking place on a location-aware, always-on communication device. When you add in the capability to build a customer profile by observing their transaction history, you have an unprecedented marketing platform: the ability to send the right message to the right customer at the right place and at the right time. If you know that Maureen is a lover of all things bacon, imagine being able to send a message about your newly released BLT sandwich right to her hip pocket as she walks past one of your stores at 12:15 p.m.
This kind of mobile consumer engagement will rewire the way restaurant brands and their customers interact. And that is a pill we all can swallow.

Joliet, IL (Sports Network) - Championship contender Jimmie Johnson will start
on the pole for the first in the 10-race Chase for the Sprint Cup after
posting the fastest lap in Saturday's qualifying at Chicagoland Speedway.
Johnson, who was the 23rd driver to qualify in the 47-car field for the Geico
400, turned a lap at 182.865 mph for his second pole of the season and the
27th of his Sprint Cup Series career. The five-time series champion begins
this year's Chase in the second seed, just three points behind Denny Hamlin.
"It's a great start for the weekend," Johnson said. "We did everything right
today, which I'm exited about. I have to say more than anything I'm excited,
because (in Friday's practice), we were fair and needed a little bit more. The
adjustments we made to our race car really helped today. We can apply that to
our race setup, and I think we'll be just right."
Johnson is the only driver who has qualified for the Chase each year since the
playoff system in NASCAR's premier series began in 2004. He also holds the
record for most postseason wins with 20. Johnson has yet to win a Sprint Cup
race at Chicagoland.
"We've been saying all along we're ready for this Chase to start, so we need
to go out there and prove it, and today was a start in the right direction,"
he added.
Aric Almirola, who is not in the Chase field, will share the front row with
Johnson after his qualifying lap at 182.636 mph.
Matt Kenseth qualified third, followed by Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Carl Edwards.
Kasey Kahne, Regan Smith, Hamlin, Clint Bowyer and Joey Logano completed the
Kenseth, Earnhardt Jr., Kahne and Bowyer are other drivers in the Chase field.
The other title contenders and their starting positions include: Brad
Keselowski (13th), Martin Truex Jr. (18th), Jeff Gordon (19th), Greg Biffle
(22nd), Tony Stewart (29th) and Kevin Harvick (35th).
Stewart won last year's Chase-opener at Chicagoland and went on to score four
more victories in the playoffs to capture his third series championship.
Danica Patrick will start 41st.
Scott Riggs, Reed Sorenson, J.J. Yeley and Jason Leffler failed to qualify for
Sunday's 400-mile race at Chicagoland, which is scheduled to start just after
2 p.m. (ET).

Tory, AL (Sports Network) - Kawaun Jakes threw three touchdown passes and the
Western Kentucky Hilltoppers held on late to capture a 31-26 victory over the
Troy Trojans in a Sun Belt Conference battle at Veterans Memorial Stadium.
Jakes threw for 255 yards on 21-for-31 passing with his three scores going to
three different receivers for Western Kentucky (5-1, 2-0 Sun Belt). Antonio
Andrews rushed for 113 yards and Willie McNeal caught a team-high six passes
for 68 yards. This was the ninth straight win for the Hilltoppers against
conference opponents and the fourth straight win overall.
Corey Robinson completed 6-of-11 passes for 106 yards and a touchdown but
missed the entire second half for Troy (3-3, 2-2) after being carted off the
field just before halftime. In his place Deon Anthony completed 9-of-16 passes
for 147 yards and a touchdown. Chip Reeves caught three passes for 110 yards
and a score while Shawn Southward led the team with 57 yards rushing. The
Trojans are 0-3 at home this season.
Troy got off to a fast start and led 10-0 less than six minutes into the game.
First Will Scott knocked through a 33-yard field goal. Then the Trojan defense
recovered a fumble to set up a 38-yard touchdown pass from Robinson to Chip
The Hilltoppers cut into the Trojans' lead with a 20-yard touchdown pass from
Jakes to Mitchell Henry just before the end of the first quarter.
The Trojans responded with a methodical scoring drive that ended with a one-
yard pass from Jaquon Robinson to D.J. Taylor on 4th-and-goal. The touchdown
finished off an 18-play drive that covered 65 yards and took 7:56 off the
Jakes connected with a wide open Jack Doyle in the end zone from nine yards
out to pull the Hilltoppers to within three points, 17-14, with under a
minute left before the half.
Robinson was injured on the final play of the second half after taking a hard
hit to the head on a sack by Bar'ee Boyd.
Kadeem Jones scored on a one-yard run on the Hilltoppers' first drive of the
second half as Western Kentucky took its first lead of the game.
That lead was cut to 21-20, when Scott connected on a 22-yard field goal late
in the third quarter.
Western Kentucky extended its lead to 28-20 with an 18-yard touchdown pass
from Jakes to Jones on its next drive.
Less than two minutes later Troy cut into the lead yet again with a 47-yard
touchdown pass from Anthony to Eric Thomas. The Trojans failed on a two-point
conversion attempt leaving the score at 28-26.
Garrett Schwettman made a 26-yard field goal with just over a minute remaining
in regulation to extend the Hilltoppers' lead to 31-26. With Troy unable to
score on its next possession, Western Kentucky came away with the victory.
Western Kentucky was a perfect 5-for-5 in the red zone with four touchdowns.
Troy converted on three of its four red zone trips.

St. Louis (KSDK) - St. Louis Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital will offer free seasonal flu shots to people age six months and older Saturday, November 3rd from 8 a.m. - 12 p.m. Free seasonal flu shots are available at the following locations while supplies last. No pre-registration is required.
1465 S Grand Blvd St Louis, Missouri 63104
Frequently Asked Questions about Flu Shots
Who should have a flu shot?
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends the following adults be vaccinated each year:
•People at high risk for complications from the flu.
•People 65 years and older;
•People who live in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities that house those with long-term illnesses;
•Adults with chronic heart or lung conditions, including asthma;
•Adults who needed regular medical care or were in a hospital during the previous year because of a metabolic disease (like diabetes), chronic kidney disease, or weakened immune system (including immune system problems caused by medicines or by infection with human immunodeficiency virus [HIV/AIDS]);
•Women who will be pregnant during the influenza season;
•People with any condition that can compromise respiratory function or the handling of respiratory secretions (that is, a condition that makes it hard to breathe or swallow, such as brain injury or disease, spinal cord injuries, seizure disorders, or other nerve or muscle disorders.)
•People 50 to 64 years of age. Because nearly one-third of people 50 to 64 years of age in the United States have one or more medical conditions that place them at increased risk for serious flu complications, vaccination is recommended for all persons aged 50 - 64 years.
•People who can transmit flu to others at high risk for complications. Any person in close contact with someone in a high-risk group (see above) should get vaccinated. This includes all health-care workers, household contacts and out-of-home caregivers of children 0 to 23 months of age, and close contacts of people 65 years and older.
Can my child be vaccinated, too?
Children 6-months and older can receive a vaccine. Please note that some locations do not offer pediatric doses for children 6 to 36 months.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends the following guidelines for children:
•Influenza vaccination is recommended for all children aged 6 months to 5 years.
•Influenza vaccination is also of benefit to older children.
•If this is the first year your child is receiving the flu vaccine and he/she is under the age of 9 years, a second follow-up vaccine is required four weeks after the first dose for maximum effectiveness. (Only the first dose will be given at these clinics; you will need to see your primary healthcare provider for the follow-up vaccine).
Other FAQ's:
•FluMist and intra-dermal vaccines will NOT be available at the Free Community Flu Shot Clinics
•The vaccine does NOT contain thimerosal.
•A flu shot will NOT be given if a person has had an allergic reaction in the past, latex allergy, egg allergy or ever had Gullian-Barre Syndrome.
•A flu shot should NOT be given if a person currently has a fever or respiratory illness.

Hi All,
I have had a look in the forums, found this thread
Im having basically this issue but instead of the message sitting in the outbox it goes to the sent items but instead of sending just once like intended it sends thousands of times ( see attachment ).
We can also see it in the zimbra.log, over and over again to the same recipient, so it may not be an outlook connector issue but an issue on the server but can't be sure as its only 1 windows 7 workstation running office 2010 with the latest outlook connector out of 12 others that dont have this issue.
We are running Release 7.1.1_GA_3196.UBUNTU10_64 UBUNTU10_64 NETWORK edition
If anyone can assist with this issue would be greatly appreciated, the client is getting some very nasty phone calls when this happens.
Thanks in advance!

She knows how we the real taxpayers are being sucked dry by the obama leaches.

Here is luvy's PM to me;
" put me on ignore...Really? Why are you attacking Charlie rather than talking to her? I understand why you would do that with me as I take no crap am most likely a little brat in your mind, while I doubt I can find words that won't get me banned to say what I think about your Obama kissing ways. But Charlie has never used the words I use and well I'd still get my ass kicked for using those words to someone of her (crap what do I say to be pC) generation. Its sort of just wrong. "
So Luvy, rather than addressing me in public on the thread, instead chooses to do it by PM. Huntinman at least made his views public. Hoo-ah!

Video: Random Acts of Kindness | Connally Elementary School
NORCROSS, Ga. -- All this month leading to Thanksgiving, we're doing Random Acts of Kindness for those who give so much to others.
We surprised firefighters last week and nurses the week before that.
This week, it's teachers!
The Arketi Group, a marketing firm in Atlanta, decided to get involved and give $500 to "make a difference at a school," according to Micharl Neumeir, the company's principal.
"The School Box came on board and gave us an extra $100," Neumeier said.
11Alive chose Cheney Elementary in Norcross as the recipient of $25 to $100 gift cards for 13 different teachers whose names were drawn from a hat.
In addition, Arketi employees put in some sweat-equity by making and bagging popcorn for the school's festival.
We also surprised a kindergarten class at Connally Elementary School in Southwest Atlanta.
Teacher Paulette Intemann is one of the few teachers at the school who has a smart board, but the area near the board was bare.
"The floor is always cold," she said. "We just need something here so that the children can be comfortable while they're learning."
We brought her and her students a brand new carpet.
"This is awesome!" she said. "This is just wonderful!"
Do something special for a teacher you know this week! Send a photo of your Random Act of Kindness to firstname.lastname@example.com.

9/11 Memorial & Museum
The memorial portion of the 9/11 Memorial & Museum at the World Trade Center was dedicated on September 11, 2011—the 10th anniversary of the attacks—with a ceremony for the families of victims, and opened to the public the following day. Admission to the memorial is free, and visitor passes are not required. Eight acres in all, the Memorial Plaza features more than 400 trees and provides a sanctuary for quiet contemplation. Waterfalls flow into two large reflecting pools, in the towers' footprints, and the names of the men, women and children who lost their lives are inscribed in bronze parapets that surround the pools. The museum, located beneath the Plaza, houses exhibitions with artifacts, pictures, videos and accounts from people from around the United States and the world, amounting to a jointly told history of September 11, 2001. Note that there is a charge for admission to the museum; tickets can be purchased here. Also nearby, the 9/11 Tribute Center offers photos, walking tours and a collection of objects that bring visitors together in remembrance of 9/11 and its aftermath.

I charge by overall pixel size and level of detail required. I'm working on a commission right now that's 1300x1600 pixels, with full geographic detail but no text, and I'm charging the client $45. Can't say if that's reasonable or not; this is only my fourth (paying) job, so maybe I'm waaaaay undercharging, I dunno. It seemed fair to me though, and the client had no problem with it, so I guess that's all that matters.
I don't like to gouge people, but I think the level of work you do requires an equal level of pay. It's just kind of hard to quantify what that rate should be; something that takes me an hour or two to do might take someone else two weeks. If the end product for both of us looks the same, who deserves more pay?

chlorpheniramine, ibuprofen, and pseudoephedrineSkip to the navigation
Pronunciation: KLOR fen EER a meen, EYE bue pro fen, SOO doe ee FED rin
Brand: Advil Allergy Sinus, Advil Childrens Allergy Sinus, Advil Multi-Symptom Cold
What is the most important information I should know about chlorpheniramine, ibuprofen, and pseudoephedrine?
Do not give this medication to a child younger than 12 years old. Always ask a doctor before giving a cough or cold medicine to a child. Death can occur from the misuse of cough and cold medicines in very young children.
Do not use chlorpheniramine, ibuprofen, and pseudoephedrine if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) within the past 14 days.
Ibuprofen can increase your risk of life-threatening heart or circulation problems, including heart attack or stroke. Do not use this medicine just before or after having heart bypass surgery (also called coronary artery bypass graft, or CABG).
Seek emergency medical help if you have symptoms of heart or circulation problems, such as chest pain, weakness, shortness of breath, slurred speech, or problems with vision or balance.
Ibuprofen can also increase your risk of serious effects on the stomach or intestines, including bleeding or perforation (forming of a hole). These conditions can be fatal and can occur without warning at any time while you are taking ibuprofen. Ibuprofen may be more likely to cause stomach bleeding in adults who are 60 or older.
Call your doctor at once if you have symptoms of bleeding in your stomach or intestines. This includes worsening stomach pain, black, bloody, or tarry stools, or coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds.
You should not use this medication if you are allergic to ibuprofen or pseudoephedrine, or if you have a stomach ulcer or active bleeding in your stomach or intestines, polyps in your nose, or a history of allergic reaction to aspirin or other NSAIDs.
What is chlorpheniramine, ibuprofen, and pseudoephedrine?
Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that reduces the natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.
Ibuprofen is in a group of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Ibuprofen works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body.
Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that shrinks blood vessels in the nasal passages. Dilated blood vessels can cause nasal congestion (stuffy nose).
The combination of chlorpheniramine, ibuprofen, and pseudoephedrine is used to treat sneezing, itching, watery eyes, runny nose, stuffy nose, sinus congestion, headache, and pain or fever caused by allergies or the common cold.
Chlorpheniramine, ibuprofen, and pseudoephedrine may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What should I discuss with my doctor before taking chlorpheniramine, ibuprofen, and pseudoephedrine?
Do not use chlorpheniramine, ibuprofen, and pseudoephedrine if you have used an MAO inhibitor such as isocarboxazid (Marplan), phenelzine (Nardil), rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsam), or tranylcypromine (Parnate) within the past 14 days. Serious, life-threatening side effects can occur if you take chlorpheniramine, ibuprofen, and pseudoephedrine before the MAO inhibitor has cleared from your body.
Do not use this medication if you are allergic to ibuprofen or pseudoephedrine, or if you have:
- a stomach ulcer or active bleeding in your stomach or intestines;
- polyps in your nose; or
- a history of allergic reaction to aspirin or other NSAIDs.
If you have certain conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely use this medication. Before you take this medication, tell your doctor if you have:
- asthma, emphysema, bronchitis, or if you smoke;
- a history of stomach problems, including heartburn, indigestion, stomach pain, and ulcers or bleeding;
- heart disease, congestive heart failure, high blood pressure;
- systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE);
- liver or kidney disease;
- a thyroid disorder;
- a bleeding or blood clotting disorder;
- glaucoma;
- diabetes;
- enlarged prostate or problems with urination; or
- if you smoke.
Taking an NSAID can increase your risk of life-threatening heart or circulation problems, including heart attack or stroke. This risk will increase the longer you use an NSAID. Do not use this medicine just before or after having heart bypass surgery (also called coronary artery bypass graft, or CABG).
NSAIDs can also increase your risk of serious effects on the stomach or intestines, including bleeding or perforation (forming of a hole). These conditions can be fatal and gastrointestinal effects can occur without warning at any time while you are taking an NSAID. Older adults may have an even greater risk of these serious gastrointestinal side effects.
This medication may be harmful to an unborn baby. Taking ibuprofen during the last 3 months of pregnancy may result in birth defects and prolonged labor and delivery. Do not take chlorpheniramine, ibuprofen, and pseudoephedrine during the last 3 months of pregnancy unless your doctor has told you to.
Chlorpheniramine, ibuprofen, and pseudoephedrine passes into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Ibuprofen may be more likely to cause stomach bleeding in adults who are 60 or older.
Do not give this medication to a child younger than 12 years old. Always ask a doctor before giving a cough or cold medicine to a child. Death can occur from the misuse of cough and cold medicines in very young children.
How should I take chlorpheniramine, ibuprofen, and pseudoephedrine?
Use this medication exactly as directed on the label, or as it has been prescribed by your doctor. Do not use the medication in larger amounts, or use it for longer than recommended. Cold medicine is usually taken only for a short time until your symptoms clear up.
Take this medicine with food or milk if it upsets your stomach.
Do not take more of this medication than is recommended. An overdose of ibuprofen can cause damage to your stomach or intestines. The maximum amount of ibuprofen for adults is 800 milligrams per dose or 3200 mg per day (4 maximum doses). Use only the smallest amount of chlorpheniramine, ibuprofen, and pseudoephedrine needed to get relief from your cold or allergy symptoms.
Shake the oral suspension (liquid) well just before you measure a dose. To be sure you get the correct dose, measure the liquid with a marked measuring spoon or medicine cup, not with a regular table spoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.
Call your doctor if you have any new symptoms, or if you have a fever lasting longer than 3 days, stuffy nose lasting longer than 7 days, or pain lasting longer than 10 days. Do not take this medication for longer than 10 days without your doctor's advice.
If you need to have any type of surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time if you have taken a cold medicine within the past few days.
This medication can cause you to have unusual results with allergy skin tests. Tell any doctor who treats you that you are taking an antihistamine.
Store this medication at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Since cold medicine is usually taken only as needed, you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are taking the medication regularly, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the medicine at your next regularly scheduled time. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?

Avoid becoming overheated or dehydrated during exercise and in hot weather.
Avoid taking this medication with diet pills, caffeine pills, or other stimulants (such as ADHD medications) without your doctor's advice. Taking a stimulant together with a decongestant can increase your risk of unpleasant side effects.
Do not use any other over-the-counter cough, cold, or pain medication without first asking your doctor or pharmacist. Chlorpheniramine, ibuprofen, and pseudoephedrine are contained in many medicines available over the counter. If you take certain products together you may accidentally take too much of either medication. Read the label of any other medicine you are using to see if it contains an antihistamine, decongestant, or pain reliever.

Effect of Diameter and Density of Willow Roots on Shear Resistance of Soils
BY: M. H. Davoudi* & M. Fatemi Aqda**
Received: 2007 November 21 Accepted: 2008 April 14
Stabilization of potentially sliding terraces and natural slopes are of great importance from view point of resident security, environment protection, river engineering and water and soil conversation. Soil reinforcement using tree toots is one of methods being studied by many researchers. Most of them have worked on the effect of root density and few of them on the root diameter leading to contradicting results. In this paper the combined effect of root diameter and density on the shear resistance of soil is investigated by series of in-situ direct shear tests. Eighteen tests were carried out on soil having Willow roots and the results were compared with those of non rooted soil as reference. To explain the observations, a new parameter referred to as root diameter-density index (RDDI) was defined. The results reveal that an increase in RDDI causes a significant increase in the apparent cohesion of rooted soil, but a little decrease in the internal friction angle. In both cases the rate of variation decreases with increasing RDDI and tends to a little value; however the extreme values of 212% and -15% were observed respectively. As general conclusion for rooted soils, the dominance of variation of apparent cohesion with respect to that of internal friction angle results the shear resistance ameliorates within a range of RDDI, and for further values it tends to a stabilized value. Also, for practical purposes, a relation was developed to be used by designer engineers.
Key words: Slope stabilization, Soil shear resistance, Apparent cohesion, Internal friction angle, Root diameter, Root density

PHOTO OP: The crowd is as stunned as you are
This is an actual person in an actual parade in Lucerne, Switzerland dressed as Roger Federer after a WWE match carting around a trophy and somethings resembling his daughters.
This is wrong on so many levels. Where's Mirka? Why do the mangoes look all Benjamin Button? Why is he about to beat the mangoes? What the hell is going on here?
Okay, I've scared myself. I'll stop now.

holy crap, I think that's Mirka behind the stroller with red hair and sunglasses. Scarred for life, thanks.ReplyDelete

The babies names are misspelled on purpose ( Myla has S and Charlene has M) and I'm pretty sure that's Mirka in the back with HUGE sunglasses.ReplyDelete
Wow. I'm just gonna chalk this up to some sort of hallucination I'm having from the cold meds I'm on. Because I know no sane person would ever, EVER, do something so disturbing.ReplyDelete
Yes "sane" is a stretch. Plus, those mangoes are giving me nightmares.ReplyDelete

OK, nothing fancy or particularly artistic, this is more a practical map for a game than a pretty one for publication. My gaming group are an evil party currently of four adventurers at 11th in a corrupt city called the Free City of Zentiir. Through their adventures so far, they defeated a trio of Rakshasa brothers who had been hiding out in the city operating spice merchant house, and narcotics smuggling operation. The PCs have taken over their merchant house and continue to operate it, which has been paying quite well, while they've adventured elsewhere in the city. It turns out their merchant house sits on top of one of several dungeon complexes beneath the city, and one of the access tunnels to the surface is in the cellar of their merchant house, though they don't know it yet.
For some exploring and a couple light 'wandering monster' encounters, they will enter a large room (in two maps below) measuring 50' x 100' with 20' high ceilings and spaced 20' feet apart, 2' x 2' square support pillars. Appearances are fooling them however. This is an unusual minotaurs' maze.
Since the party consists of 11th level players. The four minotaurs here have to be pumped up some. In Pathfinder, minotaurs are CR4 monsters, weak against an 11th level party. So to beef them up, you add class levels. The senior minotaur here and mother of the other three is an Oracle (new kind of cleric type from the upcoming Advanced Players Guide) who is 12th level (CR14). Her eldest son is a Barbarian 11th, while the other two are 7th level barbarians. So this party of minotaurs are actually just a bit tougher than the PC party.
The first map below is the chamber as it appears to the PC party. The second map is the true layout of the map. You'll notice three different colored walls in the map. Though the legend at the bottom describes the situation, I'll explain.
The pinkish colored walls are actually illusions of walls, and can be crossed by anyone walking through unhindered. Along the outer edge of the chamber are four alcoves that hold each a minotaur, as personal stables for each, these walls hide their location. The other pinkish walls away from the main walls surrounding, hide pit traps, or in some case seem like walls of force at touch, but can be passed through as any illusion wall if known or properly 'disbelieved'.
On the far side of the chamber from the main entrance is the illusion of a passage beyond, this too is a trap. Hiding behind the illusion wall is a 'rune' trapped gelatinous cube - it can't get out of its alcove. Anyone walking through the illusion wall is stepping right into the gelatinous cube... The other trap at the center hidden by its illusion wall hides a pit full of green slime.
The blue colored walls are transparent walls of force, that help make the maze.
The solid looking walls with the blue glow are actual walls, with illusions of being transparent walls of force, but can actually hide something behind it, as the view through to nothing is just an illusion.
More of a mind game type of maze to make things more difficult in fighting the minotaurs and eventually finding the chamber's treasure in the mother minotaur's chamber (note the gold coins depicting this, in the top right side illusion blocked alcove.
To make this minotaur encounter more interesting, one of the evil PCs (the most evil really) is a necromancer priest, who four levels ago, slew bounty hunter and his henchman, a minotaur. The necromancer PC animated dead the minotaur, and have extensively abused him as trap fodder, cannon fodder, a perfect little slave. However this chamber contains an extra, but empty stable in the far lower right alcove. The undead animated minotaur is the family's missing son. So these minotaur have a score to settle, especially since their dead brother/son is currently with the party and will enter the chamber with them...

You can't die. That would upset the equilibrium in the Cave.
