Moses de León
|Wikisource has original text related to this article:
Moses de León (c. 1240 – 1305), known in Hebrew as Moshe ben Shem-Tov (משה בן שם-טוב די-ליאון), was a Spanish rabbi and Kabbalist who is considered the composer or redactor of the Zohar. It is a matter of controversy if the Zohar is his own work, or if he committed traditions going back to Rabbi Shimon bar Yohai in writing. His other works include Sefer ha-Rimon, written in Hebrew.
He was born in León, Spain, Kingdom of León, then in the Crown of Castile[1] (his surname comes from his father, Shem-Tov de León), and spent 30 years in Guadalajara and Valladolid before moving to Ávila, where he spent the rest of his life. He died at Arévalo in 1305 while returning to his home.
Moses was familiar with the philosophers of the Middle Ages and with the whole literature of mysticism, including the Treatise on the Left Emanation of R. Isaac b. Jacob Ha-Kohen,[2] and knew and used the writings of Solomon ibn Gabirol, Yehuda ha-Levi, Maimonides, and others. He knew how to charm with brilliant and striking phrases without expressing any well-defined thought. He was a ready writer and wrote several mystical and cabalistic works in quick succession. In the comprehensive Sefer ha-Rimon, written in 1287 and still extant in manuscript, he treated from a mystical standpoint the objects and reasons for the ritual laws, dedicating the book to Levi ben Todros Abulafia. In 1290 he wrote Ha-Nefesh ha-Hakhamah, or Ha-Mishqal (Basel, 1608, and frequently found in manuscript), which shows even greater cabalistic tendencies. In this work he attacks the philosophers of religion and deals with the human soul as "a likeness of its heavenly prototype," with its state after death, with its resurrection, and with the transmigration of souls. Shekel ha-Kodesh (written in 1292), another book of the same kind, is dedicated to Todros ha-Levi Abulafia. In the Mishkan ha-Edut or Sefer ha-Sodot, finished in 1293, he treats of heaven and hell, after the apocryphal Book of Enoch; also of atonement. He wrote as well a kabbalistic explanation of the first chapter of the Book of Ezekiel.

Red Carpet Rewind: Stars shine at 'Breaking Dawn,' 'Skyfall' premieres
Kristen Stewart is runway perfect... almost
Good: Keira Knightley
The hair is a little Three Stooges for me, but it's hard for Keira Knightley to ever truly look bad on the red carpet. The dress is simple and elegant, the make-up works, and, well, it's Keira Knightley.

By "recycling" a real Christmas trees through the annual Christmas tree collection program, area residents can improve fish habitat in the City's lakes in the Recreation Complex and R.S. Matthews Park and the Corps of Engineers' Lake Wappapello. The recycling effort ultimately will improve the fishing in those lakes.
The City of Sikeston Park Division, with assistance from Pullen Brothers Inc., is collecting real Christmas trees again this year. Beginning Christmas day, and continuing through Jan. 4, local residents may take their real Christmas trees to the designated collection site on Airport Drive behind the Chamber of Commerce building.
On Jan. 5, Park Division employees will load a portion of the trees collected on to a trailer provided by Pullen Brothers Inc. for transport to the Corps of Engineers at Lake Wappapello. The remainder of the trees will be taken to the City's two lakes in the Recreation Complex and R.S. Matthews Park where they will be bundled in small groups to be submerged in the lakes for fish shelters.
The fish shelter program affords area residents an opportunity to dispose of their real Christmas trees in an ecologically sound manner, and at the same time enhance fishing opportunities for fishermen at our local lakes. The shelters created by the submerged bundles of Christmas trees provide fish with breeding areas and resting places. They also provide young fish safe living space where they can feed without being preyed upon by larger fish.
With this protective environment, fish have a better chance to grow to maturity and provide a good fishing experience for anglers. New trees are added to selected shelters each year to maintain their usefulness as cover.
Area residents are encouraged to continue their support of this conservation effort to continue to improve fishing conditions in the area's lakes.
For more information on the Christmas tree drop-off site and program, contact Jiggs Moore at 471-6070.

Best Jersey Tournament - Round 2
After two days of voting in the first round, fan votes have trimmed the Best Jersey in Minnesota contest down to 16. We had some upsets, and we had some narrow escapes. Now, we need to get down to eight jerseys by Friday, so cast your vote on the matchups below.
The best jerseys in Minnesota were originally narrowed down to 32 thanks to fan submissions and voting on Facebook.
Some teams were represented more than once, although each jersey is different. If you want your jersey to get more votes, make sure you share this with your friends and get them to pick yours. The quarterfinals will be announced on Friday, October 5.
Remember, whoever submitted the Best Jersey in Minnesota will get ice time at Xcel Energy Center for a group of 20, plus a suite to a Minnesota Wild home game. Good luck!

Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
Tangy-sweet tamarind jaggery chutney. Must have on the side with samosas, pakoras and chaats!
Peanut Flaxseed Chutney - sweet, sour, nutty, healthy and utterly delicious!
Malt vinegar, molasses, tamarind, and dried shiitakes conspire to create a Worcestershire sauce worthy of your finest dishes.
Water Kefir is great, but water kefir with tamarind is Jarritos, but healthy! This sweet/tart knockoff is probiotic and full of flavor!
Unexpected condiments for fish & chips: tamarind dipping sauce and quick lemon-pickled onion. With a recipe for indian-spiced fish & chips.
Grilled mango nectarines drizzled with this delicious Indian sweet tamarind chutney that is sweet, tart and spicy!
Tamarind and orange make a great flavor combination and a delicious cocktail. If you have never worked with tamarind before, this is a great way to start. This is a delicious liqueur and infuses fairly fast.
The chef of LA's Father's Office shares recipes (and history) for fig-tamarind and peach-pineapple ketchups. Via LA Times.
Finally, a use for the rose hips that appear at summer's end. Rather than making a jelly, this chutney is showier, displaying the chunks of rose hips along with other goodies like mango, tamarind and cranberries.
This smooth, sauce-like type of chutney is different from the popular, chunky, British-style chutneys. The recipe is not genuinely Indian, but garam masala gives it a warm, rich, Indian touch. Tamarind pulp or juice adds a certain je-ne-sais-quoi...

Anamanaguchi is a four-piece melodic, 8-bit rock band from Brooklyn, New York. Combining raw guitars and thrashing drums with a glitchy digital soundscape, they create a powerful, energetic sound that rests somewhere between organic and robotic. The band, started in 2003 by then 15-year-old Peter Berkman, released their debut POWER SUPPLY EP on the New York DIY label 8bitpeoples in 2006. In 2009 the lineup solidified with bassist James DeVito, Ary Warnaar on guitar & gameboy, and Luke Silas on drums and they released their second EP, DAWN METROPOLIS.
Anamanaguchi embodies the triumph over youthful suburban boredom through house shows, pizza parties, and late night video game sessions with friends in the same way the Beach Boys did through cars, babes, and surfing.
They provided a brand new 24-song soundtrack to the SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD video game (accompanying the NBC/Universal film) that was released on August 10th, 2010 by Ubisoft Montreal for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. Abkco Music & Records digitally released the official soundtrack on August 24th, 2010 debuting at No. 3 on Billboard's Heatseekers Albums chart (aka New Artist in SoundScan).
Last summer, they released a series of singles for free download from their website, each complete with original frenetic, seizure-inducing animated cover art and an accompanying b-side.
They are hyped and ready to party.

Based in New York City, Bit Shifter explores high-energy, low-resolution music produced using the primitive synthesis of repurposed electronics as a deliberate aesthetic choice. In a distillation of the less-is-more philosophy, Bit Shifter operates with a standard Nintendo Game Boy to produce hard-hitting, high-impact music that seeks to explore the aesthetics of economy and to push minimal hardware to its maximum.
Bit Shifter is the co-administrator of the 8bitpeoples label, co-curator and co-organizer of the international Blip Festival event series, has released music on Astralwerks, Hymen, Mirex, and 555 Recordings, and has performed over 150 shows worldwide.

Cheapshot has been making music since he was an undergraduate student, but only discovered the world of chip music in 2009 through a friend. He started experimenting with 8-bit sounds in his dubstep, techno and bass productions which can be seen in his earlier works such as "Splatt!" However, he got more and more obsessed with LSDJ and the "pure" side of chip music and started producing solely on the nintendo gameboy. At the start of 2010, he began to produce tracks inspired by the deep bass, dubby sounds such as artists like Quarta 330, minikomi, ??? and Cow-p. His latest tracks feature a harder sound with inspirations coming from the dubstep, UK funky and future garage scenes.
If there is one constant that can be used to describe Cheapshot's sound and philosophy behind his music, it has to be his well-known phrase: "BASS, innit!"
Some veejays need expensive, high-end PCs or Macs to display a bunch of grey lines. The C-Men only need 2 Amiga computers, a 320×256 resolution in 16 colours and a couple of Red Bulls to send those graphic designer VJs home with burnt retinas.
For over 10 years, the C-Men have been displaying their bright, comic-styled, abstract and intricate visuals from Barcelona to Pusan, Los Angeles to Hamar, Moscow to Madrid, Tallinn to Florence, New York to Petrozavodsk, Bergen to St. Petersburg, Stockholm and Las Vegas, and back to their hometown, Enschede.
cTrix makes music with oldskool computers from 1978 – 1988. He then takes them to a gig, sets everything up to tun live and lets burst a range of syles. No 2 performances are the same.
His music has been described as: "a phat and funky breaks/house style mixed with early 90′s vokal rave samples, buzzing oldskool sounds and early jungle D'n'B all mixed into one show." His additional works span progressive rock and 80′s power rock.
cTrix intergrates a Gameboy, C64, Atari 2600 and beloved Amiga 500/1200 to work together and not limited to one style or sound. While you might not know what to expect at a show, you can expect one thing: to have a f**king awesome time!
Bass to meet you!
Hizmi is a x680000000000 bassmachine craftsman. He loves bass and sub-bass research and develepoment and strives to provide the public with the limits of the x68000′s sound capabilities.
He paid one of his cronies 210 yen to write this profile…
For the past 20 years Hizmi has persued his obsession with the x68000 as an FM sound samurai. Still now, he continues his quest to discover how well his blade can cut. From Gabba and speed core to Thrash and Dub step, He has conquered club music and proven FM is a quality contender in any genre. Hizmi want to destroy peoples preconceptions of FM. He wants to change the lethargy of Luddites and retrofetishist, it is one of the greatest dangers we face.

Je deviens dj en 3 jours (stands for "I become a dj in 3 days" and is often shortened to JDDJ3J) is a french electronic artist who creates all of his music on a Nintendo Gameboy from 1989.
Fighting back an oppressive urge of technological sophistication which can be found in todays electronic music, he immediately found his unique sound signature made of unlikely waveforms – delivering a refreshing approach to techno music.
Starting as live oriented artist, in 2008 he released his debut single 'FINAL LAP' on Somekind Records, followed by his first music video 'CONGRATULATIONS'
In 2009 he launched the 'DA CHIP' project, a tribute compilation to the french artists DAFT PUNK entirely composed on vintage game systems. Approved by the band itself, DA CHIP became a worldwide classic.
The year ends as a true consecration for Je deviens dj en 3 jours with his participation at Blip Festival in New York, the largest global gathering of chip fans & musicians.
He is currently signed to the prestigious Berlin-based label, BLEEPSTREET Records, who have released his second single 'Trashing Fakers', mixing pure gameboy sounds with heavy post-production.
Always trying to be creative with his live performances, Je deviens dj en 3 jours has played to crowds in Europe, America, Indonesia and Japan and continues to organise many events in his hometown of Nice, France.
Kplecraft use old generation 8 bit game machines as a basis for tracks which blend cosmically effected saxophone and quirky percussion to create a riotous live act with a fusion chip electro / acoustic sound. The band initially worked with 8 bit loops and improvisation but recently they have shifted toward a more melodic and structured sound.
Born in 1971, Manabn worked for 2 video game companies. He then founded a music company focusing on game music. After 11 years of freelance work he has left the city to explore personal music projects.
Born in 1986, M7Kenji started working on mobile phone applications. All his work is for Japanese mobile internet and he has made numerous start up animations and graphics. From there he started using Flash to make mobile phone games. Rather than moving towards modern graphics, he favors a lobit ethic and enjoys working within the constraints of that technology.
Don Miller is an artist and educator based in Brooklyn, NY. He performs live visuals in real time under the alias NO CARRIER. Miller works with nearly obsolete repurposed electronics to create high energy low resolution abstract video art. Part of the 8bitpeoples artist collective, he performs, exhibits, and lectures worldwide. In his hometown of Philadelphia Miller organizes and curates 8static, a monthly showcase of low-bit music and video. He also serves as the Director of Playpower, a non-profit organization that works to bring low-cost educational games to developing countries.

nordloef takes his background in punk rock bands and his love for electronic music to create melodic, upbeat pop songs while at the same time squeezing out as much music as possible from
the limited hardware of the Nintendo Game Boy.
nordloef has toured and played in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, Ireland, Denmark and Sweden and has played at all kinds of shows ranging from secret clubs in farms to techno parties in forests.
nordloef's live shows are best described as a mixture between a one-man punk show and a sweaty DJ set. But instead of using two turntables, he uses two original Game Boys. nordloef uses the softwares Live mode and rearranges the songs on the spot. The Game Boys outputs are fed through external effects and tweaked live.
Notendo is the audio/visual output of Jeff Donaldson, a multimedia artist, guitarist and composer of electronic and acoustic sound. An active member internationally in micromusic as the audio/visual project Notendo, solo work and collaborations as Odea Duo Vii, HD and Wzt Hearts, Jeff's work encompasses a broad spectrum of audio/visual composition and improvisation.
In 2001, with the intent to create animation entirely with his own hardware modifications, Jeff began creatively short-circuiting NES consoles. There is no new code involved, only raw, machine logic. This work has led to international recognition in new media art and has inspired people world-wide to pursue similar expressions.
Notendo is committed to a continuing pursuit of the untapped potential of rewiring consumer electronics to create fresh, new work.

Nullsleep is the alias of Jeremiah Johnson, an electronic musician whose style could best be described as post-cyberpunk: a combination of distorted synthpop, electro, and industrial produced with repurposed low-bit electronics. His approach embraces the politics of appropriation, leveraged limitations, destructive process and data corruption. The result is a wall of digital noise driven by a heavy beat, expanding and collapsing in a series of glitches and drones emanating from cheap plastic devices.
In 1999 Nullsleep co-founded 8bitpeoples, a collective of artists interested in the audio-visual aesthetics of early home computers and video game consoles. He has since released a number of recordings through 8bitpeoples, Astralwerks, Aniplex and others. Based in New York City, Nullsleep has performed over 150 shows throughout North America, Europe and Asia, including successful world tours in 2006 and 2009.

Omodaka began as a fusion of music and motiongraphics. Live he uses a DS Lite, PSP, Gameboy and an LCD screen to create scenes of 8-bit chaos. Check out his music videos here:
Role Model, also known as Johan Kotlinski, is only a few years away from qualifying as one of the old farts in chip music. He started to compose on Amiga around 1992, probably around the same time as his terrorist career took an abrupt ending (burned down the kitchen with a home-made smoke bomb).
He is probably mostly known for putting some thousands of hours into creating the popular Little Sound Dj music editor for Game Boy. He also founded the Bleep Street and Rebel Pet Set record labels (now celebrating ten year anniversary), as well as co-founding the legendary Microdisko clubs in Stockholm and Berlin.
Musically, he brings a little more dark and shuffly version of chip music to the table. Hope u like it!
Fav software: Musicline Editor v1.15
Also performed in: All over Europe, Japan, NYC
Also released on: 8bitpeoples, Intikrec, Retinascan, Astralwerks, Cocoon
SEXY-SYNTHESIZER is founded in 2006 by Takeshi Nagai. Their sound is characterized by 1980′s arcade sound effects and familiar electronic sounds, with vocoder vocals singing over all that. Simply categorizing the group with terms like "chiptune" and "8bit sound" are not enough to explain their distinctive rock/punk-based electro groove.
Jake Kaufman a.k.a. Virt is lucky to have the same hobby and career! He has worked on music and sound design for over 50 games, from Game Boy Color to PS3. His deep love for Japanese game music has brought him together with Japanese fans and game creators; for example, he was hired by CAVE to arrange Manabu Namiki's legendary "Ketsui" soundtrack, for "Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu Black Label (X360)". He also composed the soundtrack for "Contra: Dual Spirits (US: Contra 4)". His goal in life is to spread happiness and laughter to anyone who will listen.
Xinon is a gameboy musician from Gunma. He has been active since 2004 using the Gameboys 4 track to make trance, techno and house music.

This is a fantastic cornbread recipe, especially if you enjoy Sweet Cornbread which I do! But this cornbread has a twist–it includes a can of creamed corn. No, it's not the typical corn casserole recipe, it's truly cornbread but with a can of creamed corn in the contents providing a hearty, delicious texture. I loved the taste of this wonderful cornbread even though I only got a smidgeon of it!
Last week when I was trying to come up with a quick meal to take to someone, I came across this cornbread recipe that I had cut out from the Dallas Morning News years ago and had never tried. Apparently, the recipe originates from Kelly Yandell and The Meaning of Pie, although, I could not find the recipe on her blog anywhere. The Sweet Cornbread looked good and, thankfully, I had everything on hand to make up a quick batch. This tasty recipe is even baked in a good old cast-iron skillet which I have in abundance so that was a win-win, too, since I love baking cornbread in a cast-iron skillet. I served this tasty cornbread with Chili Con Carne and yesterday's, post, Chocolate Chip Cake all of which are relatively easy and quick to assemble and make.
If you enjoy a Sweet Cornbread with lots of extra texture from the canned creamed corn in the mix then, by all means, give this amazing recipe a try. It's not your typical recipe. This one is heavier and denser, but it taste's so good you will be hard-pressed to stop at one piece. I didn't have any choice since I was making it for someone else! 🙂 But I could have handled two or three huge slabs with a bowl of chili any day!
Sweet Cornbread is a delightful recipe that's great served with Chili or any kind of Tex-Mex recipe.
Sweet Cornbread includes a can of creamed corn which provides an awesome texture to the cornbread.
This cornbread was nice and moist–not dried out like some cornbreads!
Here's what I did.
These are the ingredients I used for this recipe. Because I didn't have buttermilk on hand, I used the vinegar to sour regular milk.
Place all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl.
Stir dry ingredients to combine.
Place the 5 tbsp. melted butter, eggs, creamed corn and buttermilk (or soured milk) in a separate mixing bowl.
Whisk wet ingredients to combine.
Combine wet and dry ingredients.
Coat the cast iron skillet with one tablespoon melted butter. Add cornbread batter.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Allow to cool 10 minutes before cutting.
Sweet Cornbread is scrumptious!
This side view shows off the texture of the cornbread.
Here's the recipe.
(Recipe adapted from the Dallas Morning News; source: adapted from The Meaning of Pie)
- 6 tbsp. melted butter, divided use
- 1 ¼ cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (bleached flour toughens baked goods)
- 1 ¼ cups cornmeal (not cornmeal mix)
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. baking powder
- ½ tsp. salt
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup buttermilk or soured milk
- 1 can creamed corn
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Using one tablespoon melted butter, butter a large 10-inch cast-iron skillet.
- Place flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
- Place eggs, remaining 5 tbsp. melted butter, buttermilk and creamed corn in a separate bowl and stir to combine.
- Combine dry mixture and wet ingredients with a whisk to combine.
- Pour the batter into prepared cast-iron skillet.
- Bake about 30 minutes until top of cornbread is firm.
- Allow cornbread to cool 10 minutes before cutting.
- Cut in pie shapes or squares, as desired.
Doesn't Sweet Cornbread look delicious?
You can cut this into pie-shaped wedges if you prefer. I chose to cut the cornbread in rectangles.
This quick and easy Sweet Cornbread is great for company dinners. Especially if you know your guests enjoy a sweeter tasting cornbread.
You may also enjoy these delicious recipes!

Kenneth A. Myers III, Former Director, Defense Threat Reduction Agency and U.S. Strategic Command Center for Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction
Ken Myers, a member of the Senior Executive Service, is the Director of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) and the U.S. Strategic Command Center for Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction (SCC), located at Fort Belvoir, Va. Mr. Myers is the fourth and longest serving Director of DTRA/SCC having assumed responsibilities on July 27, 2009.
DTRA/SCC manages a $3 billion budget and operates simultaneously as a defense agency, combat support agency, and a Combatant Command component that safeguards America and its allies from weapons of mass destruction (WMD). With offices in 13 countries, DTRA/SCC is charged with providing the Services and Combatant Commands with expertise and capabilities to deter, defeat, eliminate, and prevent proliferation through 24/7 operations and programs in over 100 international locations daily. DTRA/SCC implements a research and development portfolio focused on elimination, defense, and detection of WMD and deeply buried targets. Mr. Myers has expanded DTRA/SCC operations to Africa, SE Asia, and the Middle East as well as increased international R&D cooperation, and transformed the Agency/Center into a "whole of government" resource. Under Mr. Myers leadership, DTRA/SCC has been awarded with two Joint Meritorious Unit Awards.
Recently the Standing Joint Force Headquarters for Elimination (SJFHQ-E) joined DTRA/SCC at Fort Belvoir. Together, they have formed a cohesive team with the goal of "making the world safer."
Prior to arriving at DTRA, Mr. Myers served from 2003 to 2009 as a senior professional staff member on the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. He also served as the senior advisor to Sen. Dick Lugar, the committee's ranking minority member, on European, former Soviet Union and Central Asian affairs, and the Caucasus, as well as for arms control, arms sales, and combating weapons of mass destruction (CWMD) matters. Mr. Myers assisted Sen. Lugar on the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) program, the U.S./Russian relationship, arms control, security and confidence building measures, and NATO and European Union issues. He had a leading role in several critical foreign policy debates including NATO enlargement, the Moscow and Strategic Arms Reduction treaties, U.S. nonproliferation and counterproliferation policies, export controls, the U.S./India Peaceful Atomic Energy Cooperation Act, and the Lugar-Obama Cooperative Proliferation Detection, Interdiction Assistance, and Conventional Threat Reduction Act. In addition, Mr. Myers was a regular advisor on U.S. policy towards the Middle East, South Asia, and North Korea and was also responsible for reviewing nominees for ambassadorial posts in Europe and the former Soviet Union.
From 1995 to 2002, Mr. Myers served as a legislative assistant for national security and foreign affairs for Sen. Lugar. He assisted the senator in his role as a member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, the Select Committee on Intelligence, and the Senate National Security Working Group and Russia Working Group.
Prior to joining the senator's staff, Mr. Myers was a senior associate at the firm of Robinson Lake Sawyer Miller in Washington, D.C., where he specialized in U.S. public and private sector investments to the successor states to the former Soviet Union and was responsible for establishing that firm's office in Kyiv, Ukraine.
Mr. Myers holds a master's degree from the Catholic University of America and a liberal arts and sciences degree from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.

The summary below is from the full report titled "Stepped-Dose Versus Full-Dose Efavirenz for HIV Infection and Neuropsychiatric Adverse Events. A Randomized Trial." It is in the 4 August 2009 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine (volume 151, pages 149-156). The authors are A. Gutiérrez-Valencia, P. Viciana, R. Palacios, R. Ruiz-Valderas, F. Lozano, A. Terrón, A. Rivero, and L.F. López-Cortés, for the Sociedad Andaluza de Enfermedades Infecciosas.
A virus called HIV causes AIDS, an illness that interferes with the body's ability to fight infection and some types of cancer. Transmission of HIV is caused by contact with blood or other body fluids that contain the virus. Treatments containing multiple drugs have improved outcomes for HIV-infected patients. These treatment combinations are known as highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Efavirenz is 1 of the drugs used in HAART and is very effective at fighting HIV infection. However, about one half of persons who take efavirenz develop neuropsychiatric side effects, including trouble sleeping, nightmares, dizziness, depression, suicidal thoughts, hallucinations, and trouble thinking clearly. Although these symptoms usually go away after the first few weeks, some patients have to stop taking the drug because of them.
To see whether starting efavirenz at a lower dose and gradually increasing to the full dose over 2 weeks would reduce the side effects.
144 patients with HIV infection from 7 HIV clinics in Spain who were eligible to start a HAART regimen that included efavirenz plus 2 other drugs.
The researchers assigned patients at random to a HAART regimen that included either full-dose efavirenz, 600 mg/d from the first day, or stepped-dose efavirenz, at 200 mg/d on days 1 through 6, 400 mg/d on days 7 through 13, and 600 mg/d from day 14 onward. The researchers used questionnaires to collect information on side effects at the beginning of the study and after 7, 14, and 30 days of treatment. They also collected information on viral load after 24 weeks. Viral load is a blood test that measures how well the drugs are working to fight HIV infection.
During the first week of treatment, patients receiving full-dose efavirenz reported more side effects than patients who were receiving the gradually increasing dose. After 24 weeks, the viral load test results were similar in both groups, suggesting that both doses were effective at fighting HIV infection.
The study was too small to prove for certain that the 2 doses fought HIV infection equally well.
Gradually increasing the efavirenz dose for 2 weeks leads to fewer side effects than starting at full dose. This may be a good strategy to prevent side effects that require some patients to stop using this effective drug during the first few weeks of treatment.

Do Men Think About Sex All the Time?
Having constant thoughts of sex has nothing to do with a lack of character or maturity. In men "thinking" about sex happens almost unconsciously especially during their younger days.
The young male mind is wired for sexGenetically the male brain is conditioned to seek "mating" as much as possible, of course reason and ethics keep these impulses in control.
In fact most men just go about their day totally unconscious of the many "sexual" thoughts that arise in their head. Sometimes they look at a woman and have thoughts like "wow sheĺs hot", almost unconsciously without even realizing that this reaction happened.
Some young men feel guilty of their sexualityA good amount of male population actually feels guilty about their sex drive. Itĺs not uncommon for a man to feel "depraved" for having sexual thoughts so constantly. What they donĺt realize is that it happens on automaton, absolutely on itĺs own without any real intention.
Even when men get their share of sex from their girlfriend or wife, it does not stop them from ogling at other women all the time. This again happens unconsciously. Men do feel helpless about their sexual excesses, many feel terribly guilty.
Itĺs not uncommon for men to turn to spirituality or therapy out of the need to feel "good" about themselves. In a society where sex is held as a sinful, though it may have subtle under tones, itĺs quite obvious that a man will feel guilty about his sexuality or sexual craving. Not all men have such complexes though.
In conclusion, sex holds a very prominent position in the minds of men, there is no denying this fact. Mostly this is due to conditioning and genes, though it may look depraved or animalistic externally. It may not be true but statistics have shown that many men grow out of their sex drive after the age of 35 when their career starts to take a more important position in their life, what a relief!

Ask any user about eBay and, for every success story you hear, there'll also be one regarding fraud or payment scams. In fact, according to the FBI, which tracks online fraud via its Internet Crime Complaint Center, auction scams have averaged more than half of all online fraud complaints.
The good news is that fraud reports have gone down in the past couple of years, returning to 2003 levels. eBay is partly to thank for this, it has stepped up its fraud policing by introducing an antifraud toolbar for users, designed to identify attempts by phishers to obtain your eBay log-in information. Recently, eBay also partnered with Google to stamp out a major site-redirection vulnerability exploited by phishers.
Other tools in eBay's fraud-fighting arsenal include the eBay/PayPal Security Key, launched in February 2007, as well as several measures designed to safeguard member IDs and improve buyer protections introduced in April 2007. Also, to protect member ID information, which can be used to send phishing emails and fake "second-chance" offers, eBay now hides the IDs of bidders in big ticket auctions. An expanded new seller feedback system gives buyers the detailed information they need to decide on the seller's bona fides.
eBay has also recently implemented a number of changes designed to protect users. Among them is the removal of a seller's ability to leave negative feedback on buyers, eliminating the fear of retaliation that many buyers had when deciding whether to leave negative feedback of their own. This fear resulted in under-reporting of bad transactions through the feedback system.
Sellers in high-risk categories such as computers, or those who have less than stellar feedback, are now required to take payments either through PayPal or a credit card. In some cases, PayPal will even withhold payments to sellers entirely until the buyer has left positive feedback or 21 days have passed without a claim.
Even with all these safeguards, there are still risks to using eBay. Users put up with them because it's the biggest game in town, with 95 percent of all online auction listings, according to Jupiter Research. Total auction sales were about $30bn (£15bn) last year. Amazon's Marketplace is gaining in popularity, especially for hard-to-ship items and books, but for many broad product categories, such as antiques and collectibles, eBay is still the best or only viable outlet.
But it's not just down to eBay. Users also have a responsibility to make themselves more aware of fraud. So just what steps should you be taking to safeguard against eBay fraud and online scams?

With online auction scams totalling around half of all online fraud complaints made, eBay is a fraudster's playground. So how can users protect themselves against the huge variety of online scams?
Three most popular types of eBay fraud
Avoiding eBay scams largely boils down to performing due diligence on your transaction partners and potential purchases, and being extremely careful about auction-related email messages and payments. Most eBay fraud falls into one of three broad categories, all of which affect both buyers and sellers.
- Account hijackings - Criminals take over accounts with good feedback and use them to buy merchandise with stolen credit cards or to sell big-ticket items that are never delivered.
- Counterfeit, doctored or misrepresented merchandise - Bogus products can be very hard to spot. Buyers end up paying more than an item is worth, and sellers of genuine goods can't compete on price.
- Payment fraud - An endless variety of credit card, wire transfer, and bogus money-order scams cheat buyers and sellers alike out of both money and merchandise.
Account hijacking
This is the biggest and most dangerous problem on eBay. Through phishing messages and bogus links in auctions, scammers get hold of your eBay password, which they can then use to take over your account and buy or sell with near impunity, leaving you holding the bag for transactions you had nothing to do with.
Common and highly effective phishing scams include sending email messages that mimic those you are already used to receiving from eBay's mail system, such as questions from buyers, bid notices, and after-auction invoices. When the unsuspecting recipient clicks on a link in these messages (usually purporting to be the item page), it takes them to a phony eBay log-in page instead, where their account information is then captured. The malicious site may also be programmed to install a Trojan or keystroke tracker on the user's computer, which can then be used to capture other passwords as well, such as to PayPal or banking sites.
Scammers work fast with hijacked accounts, listing popular high-cost items like computers, iPods and plasma TVs in one- or three-day auctions. After collecting the money, often sent to overseas accounts, they disappear, leaving the legitimate account holder to deal with irate buyers, possible police investigations, and a ruined feedback rating that may have taken years to build up.
The flip side of this scam is using the pirated account to buy a load of valuable and easily fenced items with a stolen credit card. In this case, the true account holder has to deal with angry sellers who are out both their merchandise and their money.
The latest twist on hijacking fraud involves phishing pros selling kits that novice scammers can use to set up their own phishing sites and email lures. The kits secretly send the collected data to the original developer. It's sort of a phishing pyramid scheme, where the lower levels take the risks and do the work, sending the spoils back up the chain.
Protect yourself from hijacking
While account hijacking is a rampant problem, it's also one of the easiest eBay scams to avoid, if you take proper precautions:
- Never reply to email purportedly from eBay or click on links within them even if you are expecting them. Instead, log in to My eBay, where all genuine messages, auction activity, and your account information are directly accessible.
- Log on to My eBay on a regular basis just to check your account. Since it lists all bidding, selling, and feedback, you can see at a glance if anyone has hijacked your account. (If you think your account has been hijacked, report it to the eBay Security Center.
- Never click on user-created links within auction listings. These can be phishing links that lead to phony eBay log-in pages.
- Safeguard your password. Don't allow your browser to automatically enter your eBay or PayPal passwords, and don't use the same password for both eBay and PayPal.
- Consider using eBay's Toolbar. The toolbar offers alerts and protection against eBay phishing sites.
- Use antivirus and antispyware tools.These help prevent infection by password-capturing Trojans and DNS hijacking (a trick that without your knowledge redirects your browsing so that instead of going to eBay or another site, you go to malicious pages).

eBay is the world's largest online auction marketplace and awash with frauds and scams. Although the site has put in place a number of measures to stop fraudsters, it's also up to users to avoid becoming a victim. Here are a few simple precautions that will protect you.
Fake and misrepresented items
Getting what you paid for can sometimes be a challenge on eBay, thanks to sellers of counterfeit, doctored, and evasively described items. Fake Apple iPods , counterfeit batteries and phony SanDisk CompactFlash or SD cards are regularly up for sale on eBay. The bogus iPods will be obvious the minute you open and turn them on, but you may not recognise memory cards and batteries as knockoffs until they garble your photos or set your laptop on fire.
Other significant problems include used hardware, which could have defects or missing pieces, that is as sold as new, and sales of software that may be counterfeit, already registered, or a different or older version than buyers expect.
If you see Windows Vista Ultimate or Adobe Creative Studio 3 going for $50 (£25), it's probably not the real thing. But not all fakes are sold at low prices, many are listed in the same price range as genuine products, with photos of authentic items taken from manufacturer sites, making it almost impossible to tell something is counterfeit until you receive it.
Gray-market goods like digital cameras and camcorders are genuine but don't come with warranties. Another frequent deception is low-cost academic or OEM versions of software being misrepresented as full retail editions. You may discover the difference only when it comes time to upgrade, and you find that the serial number for your application is not eligible for an upgrade.
Any area that is a target for street counterfeits is also a big business on eBay. Designer handbags and accessories, watches, jewellery, perfume, cosmetics, DVDs, and vehicle parts are just some of the areas to be wary of. Tiffany sued eBay in 2005 alleging that more than 70 percent of certain jewelry items sold as "Tiffany" were actually counterfeit.
Other items may just be stolen. One eBay seller unloaded $78,000 (£39,000) worth of hot Harley-Davidson parts before getting caught earlier this year. He had been employed in a Harley-Davidson parts warehouse.
In the antiques and collectibles category, beware of reproductions and repaired or doctored items. Pottery chips and cracks can be repaired in a way that makes them invisible to the untrained eye, furniture and metalware may be refinished, and old stamps washed or given new perforations. A reproduction or repaired item may look fine on the surface, but it won't be worth anywhere near as much as an undoctored original when you try to sell it, as any viewer of Antiques Roadshow will tell you.
Even normal sellers typically write incomplete descriptions. For example, if you're looking for a used laptop, the description might not state whether the manual and recovery discs are included or whether the LCD screen has any dead pixels. Be sure to ask such questions or your purchase may not live up to your expectations.

eBay is a fraudster's heaven. In fact, over half of all online fraud takes place on auction sites. So just how can consumers buy and sell safely online?
Protect yourself from fakes
- Vet the seller carefully Read feedback comments to look for complaints of fake or misrepresented items. Beware of one- or three-day auctions, sellers or items that are overseas, and sellers suddenly unloading a lot of goods of a sort they have not sold in the past. Do not rely on labels like Power Seller or Square Trade. While most such sellers are honest, some scammers also have these designations. The logos provide information you can use in your overall evaluation of the seller, but they are not guarantees.
- Know the products you're seeking If you are not an expert in Tiffany lamps or costume jewellery, spotting the reproductions can be impossible. The more you know about what you are bidding on, the more likely you are to wind up with a good deal. Google is your research friend.
- Ask questions Don't bid until you know the answers. Assume nothing. Implications are just that, not guarantees. Ask for detailed photos, condition reports, return policies and shipping costs. And read every word in the listing. You are in control until the auction has ended.
- Always use a credit card You're protected from fake items through its insurance.
- Consider using an online shopping comparison engine instead of eBay While scammers advertise on shopping engines as well, you can get some peace of mind by shopping with a large company you know and trust. And shipping prices, an often-inflated cost on eBay, may be lower through web retailers. Try PC Advisor Shopping for a good start.
Payment and bidding fraud
Okay, you've decided to buy widget A from seller B, or sell widget X to buyer Y; now how do you assure a safe and successful transaction? Unfortunately, there are just as many bidding and payment scams out there as phishing tactics. Some favourites:
Shill bidding Bidders in collusion with the seller bid items up artificially. They may also bid high to discover your maximum bid, then retract it and bid just below your top price, forcing you to pay more than you should. eBay's practice of hiding bidder IDs on big-ticket items reduces the number of e-mail messages from scammers to bidders but also makes it harder for users to investigate other bidders and protect themselves against this practice.
Bid shielding A ring of bidders drives up the price early in an auction to scare off other buyers, then retracts bids at the last minute, allowing a low bid to win the auction.
Fake second-chance offers If you lose an auction, you may get a legitimate second chance to buy the product if the high bidder backs out, or if the seller has multiple items. Scammers take advantage of this phenomenon and send bogus offers to the second-highest bidder in an auction, collecting their money and not sending the product.
Switch and return Buyers receive your genuine item, switch it with a fake, and then return it for a refund.
Stolen credit cards Any auction can be the target of a buyer with a stolen credit card, but overseas buyers of high-ticket items asking you to ship via overnight service are almost surely scammers. They may be using a stolen credit card or a hijacked PayPal account.
Refund-the-difference scams - Buyers send you a larger cheque or money order than the amount of your item, and ask you to refund the difference. The odds are about 100 percent that the cheque is counterfeit and you will be out both your merchandise and the money you refunded.
Wire-transfer black hole The seller requires payment via wire transfer, often to an address overseas. The odds of you actually seeing your merchandise after sending a wire transfer are slim. And eBay has eliminated its former purchase protection policy. Only PayPal still offers any form of buyer protection.
Triangulation - This combination of stolen credit card use and account hijacking scams is perhaps the most insidious of all, with three victims. A scammer takes over victim A's eBay account. He then sells victim B an expensive item and collects payment. He orders the item from a site like Amazon with a credit card stolen from victim C and has the merchandise delivered to victim B. The scammer is long gone with the money before eBay, Amazon and the credit card company start coming after victims.

Not a day goes by without someone falling victim to fraud or scams on eBay. A few simple steps can ensure you are fully protected when buying and selling on the auction site.
Protect yourself from payment and bidding fraud
The following simple steps will ensure you won't fall foul to fraud or scams when your bidding and paying for goods:
- Again, vet the seller carefully Read all negative or neutral feedback comments. Consider the length of time the seller has been in business on eBay, and how long he or she has been selling items like the one you are interested in buying.
- Never bid until the last second Use auction sniping services like AuctionStealer.com to place your maximum bid in the last seconds of the auction. This will prevent you from being the victim of shill bidding or bid retractions designed to make you reveal your maximum bid. You'll also likely pay less, while relieving yourself of the burden of watching the auction.
- Accept second-chance offers only through My eBay Legitimate second-chance offers come through the eBay mail system, and will be displayed on My eBay as special Buy-It-Now auctions for you only.
- As a seller, don't allow returns Unless you are making your living selling on eBay and can develop safeguards, allowing returns can set you up for trouble. Make this clear clear up front in your auction listings.
- Wait a day or two before sending your merchandise This gives you a chance to see if PayPal reverses the buyer's payment or eBay cancels the auction.
- Always use a credit card through PayPal Never use bank debit cards. Credit card protections are much stronger and easier to fall back on than PayPal's. A simple phone call to your credit card company is a lot easier than jumping through PayPal's hoops, which can be difficult to get through and will only offer up to $2,000 (£1,000) under very specific conditions.
- Avoid sending cheques If the seller does not accept payment through PayPal, think twice about bidding. For small items from vendors with good and recent feedback, it's probably fine to send a check or money order. Do not send cheques or money orders for big-ticket items or if you have any doubt at all about the seller. And never pay by Western Union or other nonbank wire transfer. eBay does not permit sellers to ask for this, but scammers still do it.
- Wait for the buyer's check to clear It's okay to accept cheques and money orders for goods you are selling, but only do this if you are prepared to wait a full two weeks before shipping, and be sure to make this policy clear in your listing.
- Send only to verified addresses PayPal's address confirmation system is a good way to ensure you are sending to the owner of the account, rather than to a hijacker.
- Leave feedback only after you are satisfied If you're a buyer, never leave feedback until the transaction is completed to your satisfaction. Once you have left feedback, you lose leverage with the seller. If you're a seller, note that eBay has just changed its feedback policies so that you cannot leave negative feedback on a buyer. To resolve problems with payment, you'll need to file a complaint with PayPal, or a nonpaying bidder notice with eBay.
Most importantly, if you are scammed on eBay make sure you report it. The more that fraud is reported, the more likely it is that something will be done about it.

After pulling my credit files from the main 3 credit bureaus, I found Clarity Services on my reports several times. Apparently they are a credit reporting company too. I called the local police and filed a police report and filled out an affidavit. When I called Clarity with this information including the police report, the officers name who could verify who I was and his badge number, Clarity refused to give me the file that they have on me without my drivers license, which the police officer advised me not to give them because if they wanted to they could attach it to the fraudulent paperwork that they already have filed by someone else and use it against me.
Apparently who ever stole my identity was suppose to provide an ID and it should have had my name on it, they used an address I had not lived at since 2010, and said I worked for a company that I never worked for and is actually closed. I informed Clarity of all of these issues and requested my file again and they refused stating a law about having to provide satisfactory ID...Well since this was turned over to the detectives in my town to handle the identity theft, Clarity now has 2 contacts at the police dept to verify who I am.
If Clarity had checked the information that was sent to them in my name they would have been able to verify that the address given was incorrect, the company the person said I worked for was closed, and that I have not worked or received a paycheck since 2009 because I am disabled.
Because they refuse to supply me with the documents they have on file from whoever is using my identity they are stopping me from finding the person who did this to me and to stop them from doing this to other people.
I have also reported this to Better Business Bureau, Attorney Generals in both Illinois and Florida and the Federal Trade Commission.

UPDATE to Identity Theft Due to Clarity Services
AUTHOR: Cyndi F - ()
SUBMITTED: Thursday, March 20, 2014POSTED: Thursday, March 20, 2014
UPDATE: Clarity was suppose to block my information totally from the last round of payday loans from early 2013. BUT they LIED! I pulled my yearly credit report 2 days ago and found that they ran my SS# once again for payday loans and another was opened in October of 2013, they also ran it again January 2014 and from what I can tell that one failed but not sure.
Everyone should check their credit reports and if the name CLARITY SERVICES shows up contact your local police dept. and file a police report. I have read on the BBB that there is beliefe this company is the ring leader of an identity theft and payday loan scheme.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
