Reading over the codex I have the impression that you can only access a page or post's custom fields from within the loop. Is there any way around that?
I'd like to be able to use custom fields to create descriptions and keywords for some post and pages which I could then insert as meta elements in head.
I know there are plugins that will do what I want, but I was wondering if I could do this just using template tags and a little clever PHP?

The Cakewalk 1897-1915
The Evolution From the Quadrille, March to Ragtime
The ambiguous nature of popular music in the early 20th
century lent itself so naturally to various styles that most songs would be entitled one
way and then stated that it could be adapted to many other styles. Even the famous
Washington Post March of sousa was first written and thought of as a two-step. One example
of this ambiguity can be seen in "A Warm Up In Dixie" described
used as a cakewalk, march and/or two-step).
Ragtime, the most popular style of music during the turn of the 20th
century was performed by the traditional instrumental ensemble of the day, the brass band,
and the theater orchestra. Man original rags were not written as vocal or piano numbers
but as instrumental orchestra music (Mississippi Rag - first published as a rag, is
notated as "the first ragtime two-step ever written" and first played by
Krells Orchestra. Arthur Pryors "Coon Band Contest" (1899) is
identified as a trombone solo.
Instrumental rags and ragtime-styled music (an ancestor and influence
of jazz), were important in Jazzs evolution because they: 1) brought Negro rhythmic
music to the usually sophisticated American White society; 2) non-reading bands listened
to and imitated the more learned orchestras heard performing ragtime song; 3) the large
demand for dance orchestras during an era when dancing was the most popular form of social
activity; and 4) they provided the style for the ragging of marches by adding
syncopation and blue notes by the piano players of the era. When a ragtime piece was
played the dancer determined the choice of dance steps, although the music might call it a
two-step, one-step, ragtime or a number of other dance style. Ragtimes ancestry is
also in the French Quadrille and the military march. Ragtime used the strict form of the
march and two of the characteristics of the quadrille - the adaptation of widely
miscellaneous popular folk song material, and a great range of rhythmic and melodic
flexibility. Its evolution is similar to the evolution of the classic Ricecar to the
This program traces the evolution of the rag from its early ancestors
to jazz songs. We must remember that there was really no difference between early
cakewalks, early rags and the two-step. We also must remember that early ragtime was
closely associated with dancing. Early ragtime text was in exceedingly poor taste and
decidedly vulgar. It used racial bigotry, using caricatures and stereotypes with brutally
coarse language. We also do state that, however vulgar the words, they fit the music like
a glove.
The evolution of jazz can be seen through a direct line of influences -
from the march, to the cakewalk, to ragtime and finally the 1 & 2 step dance and the
fox trot. Early jazz was dance music, and its evolution came through the
co-ordination of music and the dance. By listening and examining the popular music as it
evolved into jazz we can see this evolution from the early Negro cakewalks, which has a
ragtime feeling, into ragtime that evolves into the jazz song and jazz dances.
In 1899 we find that the cakewalk was one of the most popular styles of
popular American music. This style became ragtime, beginning around 1899 and gained in
popularity by 1902. By 1910 ragtime reached its zenith in popularity. Ragtime music
evolved into the popular American ballroom dances. This trend was led by the dance team of
Irene and Vernon Castle with the help of J. R. Europe. The jazz dance (especially the fox
trot) took over the pop scene and jazz became the popular music of the nation.
"Teasin The Cat" is considered the last rag that was popular and it is
interesting as it is subtitled "a fox trot." The close relationship between the
dance and jazz can be seen as numerous new jazz dances (Charleston, Black
Bottom, shimmy, etc.) were developed. During the 20s jazz and the dance formed a
bond that was stable until jazz evolved around 1945 (beebop) and became a musicians
music that emphasized individual improvisation and performance and was no longer dance
music. Jazz then evolved into strictly listening music.

Cotton Pickers Rag & Cakewalk - 1899 - William J. Braun
This song was one of the most popular cakewalks in New Orleans during its publication. The song is a great example of the cakewalk genre and its evolution to ragtime. The composer, William Braun, was born in New Orleans in 1867. He became a prominent band leader in the city and was most famous for his association with the Rex. Carnival Krewe and the Pan-American Life Insurance company Band. He was associated with a great number of New Orleans jazz musicians, including Nick LaRocca, Emmett Hardy and Eddie Edwards. He died in 1940. "Cotton Pickers" is a charming cakewalk and is fun to perform. It could be the model for all music that was called a cakewalk. A characteristic of these early cakewalks was the use of the cakewalk rhythm in the 13th measure of the first section. It was published by one of the leading music stores in the New Orleans area, the Grunewald Music Co. of New Orleans.
A Warmin' Up In Dixie - 1899 - E. T. Paull
E.T. Paull's publications used a beautiful and artistic cover to help sell the music within. This piece is described as a 'cakewalk, march and two-step." Written in 1899, the year that the cakewalk was the most popular, it begins with a fanfare-like introduction and progresses to a charming melody. Its rhythm is exciting and uses the cakewalk rhythm throughout.
Hello My Baby - 1899 - Joe Howard & Emerson
No less than Johannes Brahms was a fan of this song. He heard a lady performer playing the banjo and singing this song in a Paris nightclub. He remarked how he really loved the rhythmic structure. Unfortunately, Brahms died before he was able to use the rhythm in the body of a complete composition. The cakewalk was the first music to use extensive syncopation throughout the complete composition. While most will recognize the melody of the last section, it begins with sections not familiar. It is considered a cakewalk but became a very popular American song and became one of the 'hits' during the turn of the 20th century.
Hunky Dory - 1900 - Abe Holzmann
Another popular cakewalk played by the Sousa Band and is marked "a characteristic cakewalk, march and two-step. It was ccmposed by the well-known composer Abe Holzmann. It contains the use of the cakewalk rhythm and the use of syncopation.
Georgia Camp Meeting - 1897 - Kerry Mills
Written as a "two-step, polka or cakewalk" it is in reality a perfect characteristic cakewalk. Kerry Mills, born in Philadelphia in 1869, was perhaps the most popular composer of popular American music in his lifetime, stated: "This march was not intended to be a part of the religious exercise, but when the young folks got together they felt as if they needed some amusement. A cakewalk was suggested and held in a quiet place - hence this music." Mills' career reflected the changing trends in American popular music in 1897 to 1915. He was a skillful and prolific composer, capable of writing in any popular idiom. His most lasting composition might be "Red Wing." Mills compositions were the antecedent of classic ragtime and they indicate a bridge between the old two-step danced to Sousa's "Washington Post March and Two Step" and the emerging styles of black-derived dance called the cakewalk. In Mills' music, unlike the grotesque 'coon' songs of the era, the Negro is a medicum of dignity and individuality. Mills' sheet music covers are carefully conceived, executed and designed to emphasize the title without resorting to a complex apparatus of symbolism. "Georgia" in its time was the biggest of hits and is based on the Civil War tune "Our Boys Will Shine Tonight." In "Georgia" one can see the influence of the cakewalk ancestor - the march, and it is band music, not written for the keyboard idiom.
Coontown Capers - 1897 - Theo. F. Morse
Marked a two step/cakewalk, "Capers" is march-like but with a syncopated introduction. The sheet music cover list 15 different instrumental combinations that could be used. It is one of the earliest cakewalks using united syncopation throughout, with the traditional use of unison and cakewalk rhythms in bar 13. One interesting part is the vocal in section D (the piece is in four sections), with the melody of the vocal repeated instrumentally to the end of the song. The words are given below and are "tame" in comparison with the later 'coon' song lyrics.
A Warm Reception - 1899 - B. Anthony
Described as a "characteristic march, two-step and cakewalk" there are descriptions on the cover that we should mention. At the top we find "a prominent number on Sousa's programs." There is a paragraph describing the writing of this piece: "The members of the "Lucky Seben Social Club" had made gorgeous preparations for an entertainment to be given in honor of a prominent member (Prof. Adolphus Duskee), just returning from a trip abroad. A bust of music greeted him upon being ushered into the hall, which was profusely decorated with flowers and palms, and ablaze with colored lights. Observing the evident delight with which the members of the Club received him, he remarked: ""ell, this is cert'ny a warm reception".
A Coon Band Contest - 1899 - Arthur Pryor
Arthur Pryor wrote this piece for band concert performance. The music illustrates the link between brass band music and the Negro type music, i.e. the cakewalk. This piece was re-issued in 1918 unaltered except for a new, more fashionable descriptive designation "Jazz Fox Trot." Published in 1899, it is a good example of the cakewalk genre using the characteristic cakewalk rhythm and syncopation. There is also a very characteristic trombone part using 'smears' or 'glissandos.'
Dusky Dudes - 1899 - Jean Schwartz
During the year 1899, cakewalks were one of the most popular styles of American popular music. Within the song there is multiple use of the cakewalk rhythm. Written in a quasi march form, it is an excellent example of a cakewalk at the turn of the 29th century. The cakewalk brought to the foreground of American popular music this style of Negro music and rhythm. The cakewalk is a direct ancestor of the music called ragtime.
Whistling Rufus - 1899 - Kerry Mills
Whistling Rufus is described as a "characteristic march" but they are quick to add: "can be used effectively as a two-step, polka or cakewalk." This alone tells us that the same song was used for many different types of dance steps. An interesting paragraph is given on the first page of the music that gives us more information about the song: "No cakewalk given in the Black Belt district of Alabama was considered worth while attending unless "Whistling Rufus" was engaged to furnish the music. Unlike other musicians, Rufus always performed alone, playing an accompaniment to his whistling on an old guitar, and it was with great pride that he called himself the "one-man band." Whistling Rufus shows that the cakewalk was in reality an early ancestor of the classic rag.
Happy Mose - 1899 - Phil Kussel
When publishing cakewalks the cover of the sheet music many times stated that the piece could be used as a cakewalk, polka, two step or march. Many two steps published were actually cakewalks. The music remained the same but the dancers would do the dance of their choice. Happy Mose is marked "cakewalk-two step. Happy Mose is a typical cakewalk with the traditional cakewalk rhythm presented in the 13th and 14th measures of the first section.
Smoky Mokes - 1899 - Abe Holzmann
Described as a cakewalk and two-step we find, in the vocal parts, a text that is in Negro dialect and is an example of the lyrics that soon were to be known as 'coon' song lyrics. The cover reminds us that it can be used as a cakewalk or two-step. This cakewalk was often played by Sousa's band.
Back to Top
Koonville Koonlets - 1899 - A. J. Weidt
As in many compositions of the era this piece is listed as "a characteristic cakewalk and two-step march." The quote points out that the popular music of the era could be used in various styles and the dancers would do the dance step that suited them. The piece uses the cakewalk rhythm and is written in the musical form of a marc, the form that was used in early ragtime. The melody is simple and like most cakewalks it is charming and easily remembered.
Shuffling Jasper - 1899 - W. H. Scouton
One of the earliest cakewalk pieces that were sub-titled "ragtime," "Jasper" is also noted as a two-step. This cakewalk contains all the characteristics of early cakewalks and its inclusion is due, not only to its excellent cakewalk music, but to its statement in the sub-title describing it as ragtime. Coming out in print the same year as the Mississippi Rag, it is usually thought of as one of the first rags published.
Uncle Jasper's Jubilee - 1899 - E. T. Paull
One of the earliest and most colorful and artistic piano sheet music covers is "Uncle Jasper's Jubilee." The cover is a caricature and is not realistic nor flattering, but it was what appeared on the sheet music of the late 19th century in America in hopes to excite the curiosity and interest of a potential buyer. "Jasper" is labeled a 'two-step and cakewalk, dance characterisque.' This song is notable as it was arranged for band by the great Sousa Band cornetist Herbert L. Clarke. Clarke arranged this song, giving the cakewalk genre a very professional endorsement that helped the general public accept the cakewalk genre as true musical worth and hastened the development of well-educated composers to composer classical cakewalks and rags. The piece is another example of the march-like feeling of the cakewalk.
Southern Hospitality - 1899 - Arthur Pryor
Marked a ragtime/cakewalk, we find the name of "Sousa's Band" following Pryor's name on the composer's credit. The introduction has an interesting use of the cakewalk rhythm in tutti unison. It is marked "Marcia Moderato" again linking cakewalk/ragtime music to the march and the brass band. Using both the cakewalk rhythm and the syncopation of ragtime it is a bridge between the two styles. It is written by the great trombonist of Sousa's Band, Arthur Pryor.
Creole Belles - 1900 - J. B. Lampe (pseudonym: Ribe Danmark)
This is another cakewalk that was popular with Sousa's Band and often played. The second section uses counterpoint to good effect. The third section stresses the "Scotch Snap" ( o o ) which often appeared in early plantation music. If one hears only the first section one would say it is definitely a cakewalk, but if hearing the second section one would say it is a march.
Colored Aristocracy - 1899 - G. Bernard
This piece is just one of the hundreds of cakewalks published during the last decade of the 19th century and early 20th century. IT contains the cakewalk rhythm throughout and points the way to what we now call "a jazz break." It presents the cakewalk style with dignity and grace and generates excitement and joy.
The Darkies Drill - 1903 - Agnes Melville
Marked a "two-step and cakewalk" this piece comes as the fad and popularity of the cakewalk was fading. One can tell it is a cakewalk written as the style developed musically into ragtime. It contains more developed harmonies foreign to the home key of C Major (the introduction presents an Ab7 chord). It also contains a more developed form of syncopation, the tied syncopation, typical of later ragtime music. The dynamics, an important part of the "patrol" style is used throughout.
An Ethiopian Mardi Gras - 1899 - M. Levi
Also marked "two-step and cakewalk" it contains 6 sections, with not only a repeat of the musical material of D in section F, but with an added obbligato played by the piccolo. This is a well developed cakewalk which breaks the traditional structural and paves the way for ragtime style.
Coon's Birthday - 1903 - Paul Linke
Perhaps one of the most developed cakewalks, it begins with the traditional ABA form and then modulates from C Major to F Major in the D section (marked trio) with the melody in the lower part. Section F uses a more harmonic developed idiom, not typical of early cakewalks. This section contains musical play between the high parts and the low parts, with brief modulations from D Minor to F Minor. Counterpoint is explored in the 13th bar of this section and is developed in Section G with the melody being stated in the lower part with an obbligato in the high parts. This cakewalk is more developed harmonically than the cakewalks of the 1899s and shows the cakewalk's progress into becoming a more pianist style that progresses to classic ragtime. Paul Linke was a European composer and a ragtime pianist who is said to have played in San Francisco. His melodism is typical of European composers attempting to write cakewalks and rags.
Bunch O' Blackberries - 1900 - Abe Holzmann
Published in 1900 it is marked a cakewalk and two-step, "Bunch" is a traditional cakewalk using the characteristic rhythm of the cakewalk and its traditional appearance in the 13th and 14th measures of the first section. It is written in 5 sections with a transitional; "break" before the last section. This cakewalk was played by the Sousa Band and was introduced in Paris by Sousa. The influence of the Sousa Band overseas cannot be overstated. We only have to point out that Debussy heard the Sousa Band and later composed his famous cakewalk.
Keep Moving - 1915 - William White
There was a small cakewalk revival in 1915 with the publication of a number of cakewalks. The cakewalk had faded in the early years of the 20th century. This cakewalk, while using the cakewalk rhythm, also introduces a dotted rhythmic figure, a characteristic of the maturing ragtime style as well as tied syncopation (also in the ragtime idiom). The tradition of the use of the cakewalk rhythm in the 13th and 14th bars of the first section is adhered to. The cover shows a more realistic view of Negroes doing the cakewalk dance.

How to Clean Dreadlocks
Two Methods:General ShampooingBaking Soda Wash and Apple Cider Vinegar RinseCommunity Q&A
So you want to have clean dreads?
Method 1
General Shampooing
1Avoid putting shampoo directly on the dreads. Place a small amount in your palm instead; that way you can control the amount of shampoo being added. You can always use more if you have bigger locks.
2Squeeze the shampoo from your hands into the dreads in bundles. Make sure that the shampoo gets thoroughly into them.
3Squeeze all of the shampoo out.
4Use a towel to dry your dreadlocks, as much as possible. Dry dreads are happy dreads.
Method 2
Baking Soda Wash and Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse
This method is great for dreadlocks just beginning their journey as they don't have to be touched at all. It can also be used for mature dreads. If you are using a dread shampoo or bar, do the BS/ACV once a month to exfoliate the scalp and keep it happy. Use this safe homemade mixture to wash your dreadlocks:
1Mix 1/2 cup (.24 liter) of baking soda to 5 cups (1.18 liter) of water.
2Pour over wet head and leave on for 10-20 minutes to exfoliate the scalp without scrubbing. This is a no touch method.
3Rinse this out well.
4Rinse. Use an apple cider vinegar rinse to balance back the hairs PH from using the baking soda. Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a natural conditioner for dreadlocks, keeping them nice and soft
5After you have rinsed out the backing soda, mix 1-2 capfuls of ACV with 5 cups (1.18 liter) of water. Pour over your head.
6Rinse out the ACV within one minute. Any longer may result in over-conditioning your dreadlocks.
7If you have a very oily scalp, the ACV step is not necessary. If you have a regular or just slightly oily scalp, follow the baking soda wash with the ACV rinse every time or you hair will dry out.

Ask a Question
If this question (or a similar one) is answered twice in this section, please click here to let us know.
- If your hair is still wet after you dried it, then don't wear a cap or beanie over your dreads. That won't give them a chance to breathe, so they won't get dry and then you will get bugs and mold in your dreadlocks, and that would be a shame.
- Get all the soap out, or you will get mold in your dreadlocks, and you'll need to cut them off! Take care of your dreads.
- Don't use shampoos with perfume or chemicals. Use neutral shampoos on your dreads, or else it will kill them.
- Never mix the baking soda and apple cider vinegar together as it makes a chemical reaction.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. – The Rommel Harley-Davidson Group has gained a foothold in Pennsylvania with the purchase of Electric City Harley-Davidson in Scranton and Noto's Harley-Davidson in Plains Township.
The purchase brings Brad Hopkins and Dave Rommel's group to seven stores in Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.
Bob Noto founded the family's first Harley-Davidson dealership in 1989. His sons, Robert and Thomas, opened Electric City Harley-Davidson on May 14, 2005. Featuring a newly built, state-of-the-art facility and boasting 25,000 sq. ft., the dealership has placed first in the district in vehicle sales ranking for the last five years. The dealership includes a 12,500-sq.-ft. service facility. Noto's Harley-Davidson Shop opened in April 2002. It's a smaller operation serving the Wilkes-Barre region.
George C. Chaconas, head of Performance Brokerage Services' National Harley-Davidson and Powersports Division, facilitated the transaction.
"I could not have asked for a better adviser in my corner. George Chaconas is an expert at his craft. He is timely, responsive, knowledgeable, and most importantly, honest and ethical," said Thomas Noto.
"It brought me tremendous satisfaction to help allow Tommy and Robbie to expand their veterinary practice and pursue other business ventures," Chaconas said.

Queens Wharf
Queens Wharf is a vibrant area full of interesting things to do and see, including waterfront cafes & restaurants, the City to Sea Maritime Museum, ( a must-see for visitors!), Fergs Rock & Kayak and much more! Check out the official waterfront website for more information: www.wellingtonwaterfront.co.nz .
Also Te Papa, the Museum of New Zealand, the most vibrant and interesting museum in the Southern Hemisphere, is just a stroll away around the waterfront past Frank Kitts park.
Matiu / Somes Island
This fascinating Island, only recently opened to the public, is a reserve administered by the Department of Conservation. It is steeped in local history, from early Maori settlement to more recent times as a prisoner of war camp, and quarantine station. Now it is being allowed to revert back to its native flora and fauna. Being rodent free, the birdlife is amazing and you may even be lucky enough to see the native tuatara that have recently been reintroduced to the island.
The views from all over the easy walking tracks on the island are unsurpassed and not to be missed!
Check out the accompanying link video clip highlighting the natural and historic heritage of Matiu Somes Island, Wellington Harbour's larget island. You can glimpse endangered species such as Tuatara and giant weta- one of the world's heaviest insect. Also you learn about the island's rich history, from the days of the Maori living there to the human and animal quarantine station and through to today's tranquil conservation sanctuary.
Take a picnic and allow at least 3 hours to explore!
Eastbourne Village is an attractive shopping centre and is served by restaurants, antique shops and an art gallery.
The village is 5 minutes drive (15 minutes walk) from Days Bay and is serviced by regular buses. On advising the captain during the voyage, groups can be met at the wharf for transportation to Eastbourne.
Petone/Hutt Valley
You can check out what's happening and things to see and do in the Hutt Valley visiting www.huttvalleynz.com
Petone is the ferry service's latest destination. Just 20 minutes from Queens Wharf will see you arrive at Petone Wharf. From there it just a 5 minute walk through to the Jackson St. On your way, you may like to call in at the Petone Settlers Museum. The Museum is just a couple of minutes walk along the esplanade from the wharf and its full of Petone's rich early history and settler development.
For those who enjoy shopping and cafes, Jackson Street in Petone has got to be one of the most exciting retail precincts in the country, and has just about everything for the shopper, casual visitor and tourist.
Along a retail strip nearly a kilometre in length are a huge variety of specialty shops, cafes, bars and restaurants, neatly arranged among unique heritage buildings and displaying a wide range of goods and services simply not available elsewhere.
Visiting Jackson Street is an experience of old world charm and modern service. Where else can you buy a packet of nails (only as many as you need), or sample a slice of Dutch cheese and then relax in a funky cafe with a superb latte or sip a quality New Zealand wine on a sunny sidewalk?
The Jackson Street experience can be as simple as enjoying a superb coffee, or a day's outing of full-on shopping, strolls to take in the heritage buildings, and a meal or entertainment to finish the day.
Petone also boasts a range of specialty food stores in close proximity to Jackson St, including the hugely popular La Bella Italia. A must visit for brunch or lunch

After Fukushima, US Seeks to Advance Small Nuclear Reactors
From Forbes
Two years ago, some thought that the nuclear energy had been leveled. But the industry today is picking up steam by getting construction licenses to build four new units and by getting government funding to develop smaller nuclear reactors that are less expensive and which may be less problematic when it comes to winning regulatory approval.
The creators of those roughly 100-megawatt electric modules want to sell their products first in this country before they would market them overseas to lesser-developed nations that don't have a huge transmission infrastructure. They would be factory-built before being shipped and fueled to where the energy is needed. To the extent that more electric generation is required, no problem: Just lay the small-scale modules next to each other, making the financial outlays more manageable.
"Restarting the nation's nuclear industry and advancing small modular reactor technologies will help create new jobs and export opportunities for American workers and businesses, and ensure we continue to take an all-of-the-above approach to American energy production," says Energy Secretary Steven Chu.
To that end, the Obama administration is partnering with Babcock & Wilcox and Bechtel to develop those smaller nuclear reactors for the federally-owned utility Tennessee Valley Authority. The Department of Energy is expected to invest about $450 million in the project, which equates to roughly half of the overall cost. Industry will pony up the other half.

Definition of bistable in English:
An electronic circuit which has two stable states.
Example sentences
- This kind of code reflects a structural implementation at the level of registers (implemented with flip-flops or other bistables called latches) that have various logics inserted between them.
- The circuit is called a bistable because it is stable in two states: output high and output low.
- Switch contact de-bouncing is not required as the first press will latch one of the bistables.
(Of a system) having two stable states.
Example sentences
- At a zero field condition, the liquid crystal in the droplets was bistable, that is, the liquid crystal can be in either the reflecting planar state or the scattering focal conic state.
- Comparing the middle panels to Fig.3 C, we expect that this system will be bistable, and, indeed, the time series shown in the middle left panel reveals that this is the case, although low monomer levels are very unlikely.
- Another model prediction is that there is it parameter range in which the glycolytic subsystem is bistable: for the same set of parameter values the system may oscillate or be stationary.

will muscle relaxers help with anxiety durring a migraine or worsen the migraine?READ MORE
This question has not been answered by one of our experts yet.
Mel some people use muscle relaxers to help them relax during a Migraine, and to release muscular tension that can lead to tension headaches, which can change into Migraines. I have not heard of muscle relaxers worsening a particular Migraine, but some people can have side effects or reactions to that drug. You should look up the particular medication and check out potential side effects.
- MeganREAD MORE
i can tell you right now!!!! NO NO NO it didn't help at all for me. i have been that desperate to. get your husband to give you alittle massage it will help more than that. i have alot of stress to you will need something stronger than a muscle relaxer...the more stressed i get the worse they get and more frequent... in todays economy who isn't stressed..i wish you the best. pray to god sometime it will help. i am not even religious.. you need to change doctors if that is what he prescribed...READ MORE
I take muscle relaxants when the pain starts in the back of my head. The lower part. I get muscle spasms. So it does help me in that way. It does not take the migraine away but helps in elevating the pain.
There are many meds used in many ways for many people and for many different patients.READ MORE
I have high anxioty and cluster migrains..... They have me on a pain killer because the other medications that you take at the first sign of a headach make me incredibly sick. Plus I usually get the start of a headach while still sleeping. The pain killers don't always work so I was wondering if a muscle relaxer might help more.READ MORE
I am a migraine sufferer who's migraines hit usually when I'm sleeping. I also get a lot of tension in my shoulders and neck from the job that I do. I tried Boots own Tension headache tablets and also Syndol, I found they helped me greatly, as nothing before that has worked for me, the strongest being Immigram injections, tablets & nasal spray & Migralieve Tablets. Whenever I felt that a headache could turn into a migraine, I would take either of these & thankfully, it would not appear! I worked out the other day, that I ave not had a migraine in over 18 months now.....I was getting them every 4-6 weeks previous to taking them.
So in my own personal opinion.....Yes they work!READ MORE

National Broadband Network to help elderly stay in own homes, project boss says
- From: Herald Sun
- December 27, 2012
THE National Broadband Network will help older people stay in their own homes longer and their aged care will cost a fraction of what they would pay for a nursing home, the man in charge of building the project says.
NBN boss Mike Quigley also says households will receive better and faster broadband for what they already pay.
Mr Quigley hit back at critics who had derided the NBN's slow roll-out, saying the decade-long project was like "pushing the pig through the python" but it would hit big milestones in the next 12 months.
Mr Quigley said some of the biggest benefits of the NBN's high-speed broadband to homes would be in health and aged care. Patients will be able to see doctors on TV screens and have simple tests and consultations via computer.
He said a US study found home health monitoring cost $1600 a year, compared with $13,121 for a visiting nurse or $77,745 for a nursing home.
An Australian pilot scheme by aged care provider Feros Care found the daily cost of using broadband was $3.46-$7.14, compared with $967 for an acute hospital bed.
"Most old people don't want to leave their homes," Mr Quigley said. "This could let them stay for a fraction of the cost of a day in hospital."
The NBN has about 30,000 active customers. Mr Quigley said the aim was to have the network available to 286,000 homes by June.
"I want the public to know it's now real," he said. "All of the design work and the architecture work that's taken years, and the regulatory work and structural separation - all of that's now been done."
Mr Quigley said Australia would depend on the NBN with growing demand for video services requiring fast broadband. He predicted governments would use the network to deliver services such as social security, education and health.
He rejected claims of cost blow-outs, saying deals with providers meant more upfront costs but would save money over the life of the project.
Mr Quigley denied the company was wasting taxpayers' money, following criticism it was spending too much on staff and taxis.
"In a start-up, that normally happens," he said.
He said no NBN staff flew domestic business class, and trains and taxis were used over limousines.Originally published as NBN to help elderly stay in own homes

It is so tiring to have some Australians rubbish anything that is done to improve our country. To hell with the negativity! The NBN will be a marvellous asset to our country. The knockers don't have to sign up. They can quietly sit at home and do something else. May all of the people working on this marvellous system be given every encouragement.
Keith of Brisbane Posted at 5:23 PM December 27, 2012
The reasons most people end up in a nursing home are, for example, they can't get themselves from bed to the toilet, can't prepare a meal, or don't have the mental abiÅity to perform basic functions. How's an Internet connection going to help with that?
Sean of Perth Posted at 4:13 PM December 27, 2012
So Johnno I guess you mean NBN = Telstra MkII, in which case, how do we get over the way Telstra only invests where they deem it worthwhile to invest, how do we keep services high for ALL Australians?

"Where did we in the US get this idea that we can control what all the other peoples of the world do?"
That would be the Cold War. The US State Dept inserted its influence pretty much in every nation it could to counter the Soviets, who were doing the same. Unfortunately, the State Department is still stuck in that Cold War mode.
It reminds me of a Rodney Dangerfield line in "Back to School."
"Take it easy, will ya? I mean, the war's over. Get new parts for your head."
Oh, if only the ChickenHawks were in power, we would have already invaded somewhere.
The USA has had such imperial pretensions for over 200 years starting with the drive Westward.
@martens: The USA has had such imperial pretensions for over 200 years
Even as it pretended the rest of the worle wasn't there and anyway it didn't want to get
Every U.S. President, regardless of their personal moral and ethical beliefs/standards when they entered the office, has—in the end—found it prudent to give into and accept the ancient Arab wise saying of their nomadic tribes that, "My enemies enemy is my friend"; friendly military dictatorship vs. an unfriendly totalitarian theocracy, which one would you pick?
I think a more approprate caption would be to have the Camels saying:
"Some guy named Obama did this. He said he'd be back to do something about it later but had to go because it was his tee time…"
Dycel, brindead08 is more than likely correct whether you agree or not. In either case the upshot would be another illegal, ill-advised war that would do more harm to America than good—just like Iraq.
Additionally, either you were one of McNamara's Hundred Thousand, are a troll, or simply unable or unwilling to communicate in an mature, adult manner.
Bob-lezeb, DAV, US Army
"Just keep jacking until it falls over. Otherwise it'll fall where it wants to."
Actually it predates the cold war. Teddy Roosevelt was the "policeman-to-the-World" "Laisseze Faire" was the quote, but not the actions.
Bob, I think Dycel was only asking for definition, and he was correct.
Most recent examples include Bush, Cheney, Willard Romney, and a whole host of neocons.
Anyone worried about Syria any more?
A fine example of Obama's leading from behind… his head up is rectum!
'We need to tell the World to"F" Off! The USA will no longer Bankroll you,.you're on your own.'
No one (at least on these boards) has much of an idea exactly where foreign aid goes. I think if you followed the money closely, you'd find that the money itself goes to Haliburton, Bechtel, and many other companies who then supply the aid, in the form of weapons, engineering, food or whatever.
Except that we do know that Bush sent a billion in cash to Iraq, where it promptly disappeared.
My guess is that the Iraq cash was shipped to secret accounts in Switzerland, maybe in the same banks as Willard the ChickenHawk's.
Thats how the pyramids were built, from the bottom up.

See Washington Post story below and sound off in the comments…
Update: Julia Boonstra's claim her Obamacare plan is 'unaffordable' gets downgraded to Three Pinocchios
By Glenn Kessler, Washington Post
"My insurance was canceled because of Obamacare. Now, the out-of-pocket costs are so high, it's unaffordable."
–Michigan resident Julia Boonstra, in an ad sponsored by Americans for Prosperity, attacking Rep. Gary Peters (D-Mich.), a candidate for the Senate, released in February
"Because of Obamacare, I am now stuck with a plan that doesn't work for me. My choice was taken away from me."
–Boonstra, in a new ad released in early March
Take a close look at the subtle difference in the language of these two ads sponsored by the pro-GOP group Americans for Prosperity. The first ad claimed the out-of-pocket costs were so high that "it's unaffordable." When that line was questioned—and Democrats demanded proof be given to television stations running the ad—the issue became much fuzzier. Suddenly, it became "a plan that doesn't work for me." That is much more subjective and harder to fact check.
We originally awarded the Boonstra ad Two Pinocchios, pending new information. We are now ready to update the ruling, having given AFP ample time to document its claims.
The Facts
The problem with the original ad was two-fold. First, Boonstra, a cancer patient, suggested she had lost her "wonderful doctor" when in fact she could keep that doctor in the new plan. Second, her premiums were cut in half, from $1,100 a month to $571, and the savings were slightly more than the out-of-pocket costs permitted under the health care law. So it seemed highly suspicious that the costs were "unaffordable."
We were led to believe that she had a Silver individual plan through Blue Cross Blue Shield but were not able to determine her actual plan, as AFP declined to document her claim. Instead, it merely asserted that her costs may be unpredictable in the future.

Contrary to popular belief , the government doesn't just hand out free money, even if they call you about it.
A federal grant scam has people thinking the government is giving any where from a hundred dollars to thousands, and all they have to do is pay a small fee.
The so refundable fee that you can pay using a credit card, but it's really to gain access to your banking information.
The fake government representative will also provide you with a promotional code and another number to call to collect the money.
Fact Finders tried calling one of the numbers provided by a viewer but didn't get a response.
Some agency names the scammers will use:
* The Government Grant Association
*Federal Government Information Center
*Federal Research Funding & Dept. of Revenue
Here are some tips on avoiding a scam like this:
* Know that no government agency will call or email you about grant money.
* Real government grants require a lot of paperwork and aren't guaranteed.
*If you have to pay for something then it's not free.

Gluten-Free Bread
Try out this wonderful glutton-free bread recipe from Chef Phil.
Flour blend
2 1/2 cups white rice flour
2 1/2 cups tapioca flour
2 cups amaranth flour
1 1/2 cup sorghum flour
1 cup superfine brown rice flour (see tips)
1 cup gluten-free egg white protein powder (see tips)
Bread recipe
3 cups dairy free/soy free gluten-free flour blend
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon instant yeast
2 teaspoons guar gum OR xanthan gum
2 teaspoons salt
6 egg yolks
1/3 cup olive oil
1 3/4 cups club soda
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Use a large whisk to thoroughly blend the flours and egg protein powder. Store in a labeled container with a tight fitting lid or in a large zippered freezer bag. Refrigerate.
Makes approximately 3 pounds
Authentic Foods makes Superfine Brown Rice Flour, a powdery product, smoother and less gritty than other brown rice products.
NOW Foods makes 100% pure, gluten free egg white protein powder.
NOTE: Yeast breads made with high protein flours absorb liquids more easily than breads made with gluten-free white rice flour, tapioca starch and potato starch. I carefully formulated the recipe for High Protein GF Flour Blend for this bread recipe. It's unusual in that it contains egg white protein powder, amaranth flour and sorghum flour along with more usual gluten-free flour blends -- white rice flour, brown rice flour and tapioca starch.
I don't recommend substituting any of these ingredients
Bread recipes are the most exacting of gluten-free recipes. One substitute here and one there can completely change how the batter absorbs liquids, how it rises and ultimately how long and at what temperature it bakes.
Grease a bread loaf pan with butter.(I used an 8.5 x 4.5 loaf pan)
Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Use a large whisk to thoroughly blend.
Lightly whisk egg yolks. Add olive oil to yolks and add to dry ingredients.
Slowly add carbonated water to the bowl and mix until blended.
Using an electric hand or stand mixer, beat bread batter on high for 4 minutes. Scrape batter down with a spatula and cover bowl with a damp towel or plastic wrap. Place in a warm location to rise for approximately 45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 325°
Stir down the batter and pour into prepared loaf pan. Dip a flexible spatula in water and use it to press the batter evenly into pan and smooth the top of the loaf.
Set the loaf pan, uncovered in a warm, draft-free location to rise.
When batter is about 1 inch below the top rim of the bread pan place it in preheated oven.
Bake bread for 50 minutes or until internal temperature reads 200° on an instant read thermometer.
Remove bread from loaf pan and cool on a rack before slicing.

Britain's Jessica Ennis may be on her way to becoming the most marketable woman in world sport after her heptathlon gold confirmed her as the smiling face of the London Games.
A winning combination of looks, athleticism and warmth have made her the poster girl for the Games. The 26-year-old, whose father is originally from Jamaica, embodies the positive multicultural image that Britain's leaders want to show to the world.
British Airways, one of her sponsors, had even painted a huge image of the athlete on a field close to Heathrow airport in the run-up to the Games with the words "Welcome to Our Turf."
There was always the risk her advisers were setting her up for a big fall, but Ennis thrived under pressure on Saturday night to surge to victory in the 800 metres, the last of her seven events in what is the ultimate test for a female athlete.
Publicist Max Clifford was quoted by the Daily Mail suggesting that Ennis could now earn as much as £5m over the next two to three years.
"With Mo Farah and Jessica Ennis," said Clifford, "of course they both did incredibly well and those wins put them in the biggest shop window in the world.
"For both of them it's a wonderful opportunity to fulfil themselves in whichever way they wish - obviously financially but also from a social point of view. They will be at the top of everyone's list.
"With regard to Jessica, she could make around five million in the next two or three years if she chose to, from sponsorship and endorsements."
"She is set up for life," sports marketing expert Patrick Nally told Reuters. "She is the epitome of the London Games. Winning at home has that extra kudos and she will be able to trade off it for many years," he added.
Ennis had been expected to make around one million pounds this year but that figure will now be multiplied after a performance that will help sell her to the world.
Despite that, however, it is not on the same scale as some of sports' most marketable stars. On the eve of Andy Murray's Wimbledon final against Roger Federer, for instance, there were estimates that his victory could earn him as much as £100m.
is extremely marketable. She will be inundated and her management will need to
make sure things are properly structured," added Nally.
Current endorsements include Olay skincare products and Powerade sports drinks, made by Olympic sponsors Procter & Gamble and Coca-Cola, respectively.
Ennis's 'girl next door' appeal is crucial to how much she goes on to in the coming years, say experts. She trains in her home city of Sheffield and lives near her parents with her boyfriend and their pet labrador.
Part of her charm lies in her modesty in a country that is obsessed with celebrity - after her triumph, Ennis linked hands with her fellow competitors and bowed to the crowd, rather than milking the applause alone.
"She is unique in that she is the girl next door but has ability that the girl next door does not have," said Danny Townsend of sports brand analysis company Repucom.
Townsend compared Ennis' impact to that of Australian 400 metre runner Cathy Freeman, Australia's first Aboriginal athletics champion who took gold in Sydney in 2000.
"She can become a beacon for success and the social fabric of the country in the way she handles herself, the way she appears," he said.
German sportswear company Adidas has worked with Ennis for seven years. The Briton missed out on the Games in 2008 because of injury, giving her success in London even more emotional impact.
"She is one of those athletes who works for us from stadium to catwalk to street," said Nick Craggs, UK Marketing Manager for Adidas.
Sprinter Usain Bolt is one of the few track and field gold medalists to have built international marketing appeal but Craggs believes Ennis can succeed where others have failed.
"She is one of the faces of women's sport globally for Adidas," he said.
"The awareness of who Jessica Ennis is and the understanding of her as an athlete and an individual has gone up a few notches on the global scale."
But when it comes to earnings, even Ennis will struggle to close a gender gap that sees male tennis players, golfers, Formula One drivers and soccer stars get paid far more than their female counterparts.
No woman made it into the top 100 richest sports people in Britain and Ireland in a report published in May.
"Commercially, she stands to make a lot of money," said Simon Chadwick, professor of sports marketing at Coventry University in central England.
"She will be a rich woman but she is not going to go stratospheric and make the mega bucks of a (David) Beckham or (Roger) Federer."

GAME: Tampa Bay Lightning (13-9-4-1) at Toronto Maple Leafs (17-6-5-3).TIME: Tuesday, 7:30 p.m. EST.
The Toronto Maple Leafs, looking to extend their point streak to 12 games, face a team they've beaten eight straight times when they host the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Toronto beat the New York Rangers 3-1 on Saturday for its second consecutive win, and improved to 10-0-0-1 in its last 11 contests. The Leafs haven't lost in regulation since a 3-2 road defeat to the Edmonton Oilers on Nov. 20.
Against the Rangers, Mikael Renberg scored twice and had an assist as Toronto improved to 6-0-0-1 in its last seven games at Air Canada Centre.
Gary Roberts added a goal and two assists for the Leafs, who moved within a point of the Philadelphia Flyers for the NHL's best record.
"That's great. We feel good about that," Renberg said. "With the group of guys that we have in this locker room, I don't think anybody is going to be satisfied with where we are now. We just have to keep going."
The Leafs will try to keep it going against a Tampa Bay club it has defeated eight consecutive times since a 3-2 loss on March 15, 2001.
The Lightning come into this contest with a season high-tying three straight defeats, and with just two wins in their last 11 games (2-7-2). Tampa Bay had only three losses in its first 16 games of the season.
"We are not the same team we were at the start of the year right now," center Tim Taylor said after Tampa Bay's 5-2 home loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday. "When a bad bounce goes the opposite way of us, our heads just seem to go down instead of shake it off.
"Right now we have to get back to getting upset, a little angry and a lot more desperation. I think that's what we have to do more instead of feeling sorry for ourselves."

The kindergarten class at St. Mary's graduated Friday, May 17. Following tradition, the Kindergarten class sang a farewell song that has been sung for generations to begin the program.
They received their hats and diplomas and celebrated with friends and family with refreshments at the school following the ceremony. Once the students received their diplomas and hats they lined up in front of the church for a graduation processional.

When you decide to write a poem in a certain schema, it restricts you–but it also frees you. You'll find that when you need to find a three-syllable word with a particular meaning, you might come up with a word that fulfills your needs in an unexpected way.
Similarly, the fact that vegan cooking is "limited" to plants has challenged me to expand my repertoire.
For example, at the prompting of Alicia Silverstone's cookbook, I needed to find some umeboshi plums. So I discovered a Japanese grocery store in the city. This little store is crammed with imported goods, including several brands of pickled plums at a much lower price than any other store in town.
And while looking for the plums, I encountered various kinds of dried seaweeds, Japanese vegetables, condiments, and so much more. I left the store with even more ideas and new foods to try.
Looking at my list of recipes to try, I feel like I'll never, ever run out of ideas.
