I hold discontinued the assumption of certain foods. I involve help. I prefer alternative medication herbs. I practice yoga. Can you support? So that I can deal next to the outside. Please help!
Here are some intuitive ways to treat eczema.
The term 'eczema' is derived from a Greek word intent 'to boil.' It refers to an inflammation of the skin which results in the formation of vesicls or pulstules. It is the most adjectives and most troublesome of all skin diseases. Eczema is essentially a constitutional disease, resulting from a toxic condition of the system. The disease covers a all-embracing variety of forms, the majority of them human being of a chronic variety.
Eczema within its acute form is indicated by redness and swelling of the skin, the formation of minute vesicles and severe steam. If the vesicles rupture, a raw, moist surface is formed. From this, a colourless discharge ooze, which forms skin crusts when it accumulates. The disease is
usually worst at dark when the heat of the body is retained by the bed-clothes. The skin itches at adjectives stages. In the wet stage, it may become infected next to bacteria. The salutary
of the condition is affected by scratch in response tothe irritation. Scratching not singular spreads infection but also lengthens the stage of dryness and scale.
Allergies play an important element in cause eczema. Some women get eczema on their hand due to an allergy to soap or detergents used to wash clothes or dishes. Some people develop it around the fingers when they wear rings because of allergy to metals. Researchers in a recent study of children near atropic eczema, found that 75 per cent were allergic to various foods. The most common triggers for sensitive people are eggs, peanuts, chocolate, wheat, cow's milk, chicken, and potato. The real motive of eczema, however, is the failure of the human system to excrete the poisons from the a variety of orifices of the body. Waste matter is excreted from the rectum through stools, from the bladder through urine, from the lungs through breath, and from the pores of the skin through sweat. Sometime the pores of the skin are overworked as surplus matter is not properly
eliminate from the other orifices. If the pores are not given the chance to make their normal function, the sweat will be full of morbid situation and this gives rise to skin diseases approaching eczema, acne, boils, and other eruptions. Other causes include inconsistent metabolism, constipation, nutritional deficiencies, and stress brought something like by nagging spouses, jealousy, frustration, and a host of other emotion. Suppressive drug treatment of the formal disease is also a most potent subsidiary causative factor in abundant cases.
The Cure:
Skin applications to cure eczema may give impermanent relief. If the exudation is suppressed, some other more serious disease may develop. The best approach to deal next to eczema is to cleanse the blood stream and the body. The treatment should start with a swiftly on orange liquid and water from five to days, depending on the severity and duration of the trouble. Juice fast will help wipe out toxic waste from the
body and organize to substantial improvement. In some cases, the condition may worsen within the beginning of the quick due to the increased elimination of debris matter through the skin. But as fast continues, improvement will manifest itself.
Fruits, brackish free, raw or steamed vegetables next to whole dinnertime bread or chappatis may be taken after the juice briskly. Carrot and musk melon are particularly beneficial. Coconut grease may be used instead of ghee. After a few days, curd and milk may be added to the diet. The patients may thereafter gradually embark upon a well-balanced diet of three elemental food groups, namely (i) seeds, nutsand grain (ii) vegetables and (iii) fruits. The large proportion of the diet should consist of unprepared foods. Seeds and beans such as alfalfa, mung, and soyabeans can be sprouted.
This diet may be supplemented with cold-pressed vegetable oil, honey and yeast. Juice fasting may be repeated at intervals of two months or so, depending on the progress person made, in chronic and more difficult cases of eczema, long-suffering should fast atleast once a week till he is cured.
The forgiving should avoid tea, coffee, alcoholic beverages, and all condiments and significantly flavoured dishes. He should also avoid sugar, white flour products, denatured cereals resembling
polished rice, and pearled barley and tinned or bottled foods. He should eat lone pure and wholesome foods.
Raw vegetable juices, especially carrot liquid in combination beside spinach juice, hold proved highly beneficial surrounded by the treatment of eczema. The formula proportions considered helpful surrounded by this combination are carrot 300 ml. and spinach 200 ml. to make 500 ml. or partially a litre of juice. The lenient should get as much fresh nouns as possible. Restrictive clothing should not be worn. Two or three litres of water should be taken day by day and the patient must tub twice or thrice a day.
The skin, near the exception of the parts affected next to eczema, should be vigorously rubbed next to the palms of the hands formerly taking the bath.
Coconut grease may be applied to the portions with eczema. It will facilitate the skin to stay soft. Walking or jogging should be resorted to within order to inactivate the bowels. Sun bathing is also beneficial as it kill the harmful microbes and should be resorted to early within the morning, in the first oil lamp of dawn. A street light mudpack should be applied over the sites of the eczema is also helpful. The pack should be applied for an hour at a time and should be repeated twice or thrice a time.
In cases of acute eczema, cold compress or cold wet fomentations are beneficial. The artificial part should be wrapped near a thick soft cloth. The cloth should be moistened next to cold water (55 degree - 60 degrees F) every 15 to 30 minutes for two hours at a time. The ice pack should be left intact, keeping the cloth cold. There may be intensification of itching or niggle initially but this will soon subside. A cold compress may be applied twice daily for a week or so.
Hope this help you get your eczema below control.
you should start by seeing a dermatoligist my sister has eszema she uses a lotion call eucerin(not ur if i spelled it right)she had it since she be 18months old she is very soon 19 she has be going to the doctors all her natural life once a month sometimes she can go a intact 3 months without going she get needles that help the skin to not be irrated!! immediately it doesnt even look like she have eszema!! go on goole and type it surrounded by and look for solutions or call a doctor i urge you!!
sometimes you can take eczema from chemicals, a lot of life compounds are allergenic. That means that after a prolonged exposure you develop an allergy towards them. if you're exposed to chemicals at work you can ask to see a msds it will bring up to date you there if the chemicals could be cause the eczema. I have developed an allergy to acetone. to receive rid of my eczema I reduced my contact with chemicals by using gloves, and treated it next to Vaseline. it's a great moisturizer and it will protect your skin but it is greasy. if that doesn't work your doctor could prescribe some cortisone cream for you to try.
Nobody knows what the motivation of eczema is, but it is likely related to an immune system problem. Only some empire have allergy triggers. My eczema is soley surrounded by my ear canals and I enjoy to use a steroid creme or I develop other complications.
One of the articles indicates that there is a modern medication available that is non-steroidal. You might consider that if steroids be your concern.
I know of one person who go to an alternative medicine doctor near success at treating her asthma. It eliminate her eczema as well. I would suggest that. If you judge your problem is a result of an allergy, you might try the traditional Elimination Diet first, used for those who have allergies. Go to Google and type that within as there are numerous ones.
economically, if you are sure of something going on inside your body thats causing eczema, next how do you think that the superficially applied topical lotions and creams may flush out the microbes in your body? if you own had plenty of the antibiotics and counter medications, very soon can take a outlook in the inner cut of the body that is facing something unpleasant and react in the form of eczema, so check out your conduct if it has keeping up till tardy nights, skipping meal, travelling more, irregular bowel and many such irregular behaviour that may be a cause to the eczema. Take a review of how the symptoms are accelerate, ie what increases the eczema, because this symptoms increase in specific time of the year or night or after intake of some drinks and promptly food also. "Mahamanjishtha Kaadha" available at all herbal pills shops, 3 tbs mixed with heat water thrice a year may be so some help as a blood purifier and set you free from the irritable itching and also set yourself to hearty habits, verbs the pranayaam, it gives a breathing and smiling skin. goodluck!
Do you drink coffee if than stop it, do you put away bread or pizza do you like more chess than stop milk products and also wheat products and drink more river. Try Reflexology and homoeopathy together will help you tons ways. i am qualified Reflexologist my self. you can try Echinacea tincture 10 to 15 drops before guzzle its good for immune system.upright luck
Dear Sir, you may want to re-think what the symptom / conditions orignal cause is from; I also have a particular patch of itchy eczema on my ankle for heaps years, then end year I had numbness within my hands and this front me to go to a structural chiropractor.
In brief, the DC not just corrected the numbness but other issues / symptoms I had as ably (i.e. frequent headaches) including the patch of itchy eczema!
The central jumpy system affects every part, organ, system and cell contained by the body, and the spine is affected by even the smallest misalignment.
do some research on structural chiropractors, progress and talk to a local DC, report to me what you learn. thankfulness
to find a local DC>>

I cant speak for your situation but I sought help from a nutritionist who get me to avoid some certain foods and afterwards I took some protein and nutrition drinks and some vitamin supplements. My ezema has better by at least 85 to 90 percent, it hasnt gone completely but I am contained by much better health than I be previously. I used a 21 day herbal detox cleanse when I first started and I am basically about to use it again, it really help me a lot. I touch a whole lot better. I can distribute the website of where I get my help but I dont know if it works for everyone? try www.myhealthabc.lattice, there is a connection to email the nutritionist who will advise you for free. I know jsut what you are going through, suitable luck
There is no cure for ezema? This is totally false! I got it and tried adjectives the meds. etc that were on the souk. Not willing to live next to it and suffer and spend money I didn't have I started experimenting beside herbs, creams etc and nought worked. I finally decided that if treating contained by externally didn't work that I would try something internally that wouldn't cause extremely bad side effects. Again back to different herb that didn't help. Finally I tried drinking two 8oz. goggles of 100% pure apple juice day after day and within a few days I saw it going away. I really have a bad shield and as it was diminishing I would run out of apple liquid and lay off for a few days. It stayed impossible to tell apart, so got fund on the juice and it is completely gone presently. It has be 18 months and it has not come vertebrae. I started seeing results within a week so please try it.

Dr. Jonsson is head of Barnbyn, Skâ(Skå Children's Village), an institution in Sweden which is responsible for the care and treatment of its most severely disturbed children. The population is almost totally delinquent. Dr. Jonsson's clinical experience with this group and their families spans 20 years, and includes, besides administrative responsibilities, experience in individual treatment, group therapy, and family therapy. Besides this, the author, a child psychiatrist, has had training in sociology, criminology, and methodology. With this background, his book merits careful and respectful attention.
Dr. Jonsson's book does not deal with the entire range of delinquent boys, but rather that of its most severely disturbed segment. Noting that the great majority of male children and adolescents in Sweden have committed one or more breaches of the law, but that the number of children responsible for most of the grave crimes is very small, he sets

Courtney Love got the Internet buzzing Wednesday when she appeared dramatically slimmed down in a batch of beach photos – and now she says she's lost 44 pounds.
In a posting on Love's Web site, Moonwashedrose.com, she writes under the name "court" that she "lost 44 pounds with 6 more maybe 11 more to go."
A rep for the onetime Hole singer confirms that Love indeed wrote the post and says Love is following a macrobiotic diet, eating lots of vegetables and fish, and doing yoga and exercise to meet her weight-loss goals.
Love also writes openly about having had a nose job, saying that she has her "old nose" back. "I hated that nosejobby nose, it was like a little beak," she writes. Now, she says, she had had her nose "fixed." "[It] looks like the one god gave me so im happy not to have crazy lips and a crazy teensy unnatural little nose."
She adds, "All i care about is that my self esteem is [limitless] and intact, and that nothing and no situation effects my self esteem."
It was only last October that Love was touting her sobriety of more than a year. At the time she said Mel Gibson helped her into rehab and that now her focus would be on raising her 14-year-old daughter, Frances Bean (with late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain), and staging a comeback.
"I always thought I'd be that girl that lives with no regrets," Love told Billboard magazine. "I have regrets. I've written so many amends letters, I can't even count them. It's still not enough. Drugs make you an a–hole."

Awesome, Fast and Reliable Car
by GT Owner from Madison, Wisconsin | April 1, 2015
My 2010 BMW 550 Gran Turismo is an awesome car! I bought it used with 10k miles 4 years ago and now it is 73k. Over years, I learned to tame my desire to push the car too fast, becauseI was getting too many speeding tickets - this car can go 130mph and you don't even feel it :-)) It still looks and feels like new, no issues outside of normal maintenance and a few minor issues when the car had 20k - all under warranty. Car is FAST-FAST-FAST, SUPER COMFORTABLE and LARGE --- AWESOME looking. I plan to keep this beemer for long time.. Highly Recommend to anyone in the market for GT. 5 STARS

The Dream Car
by Iluha from Chicago | October 8, 2012
This is the best car I've ever had. I had Audis, Acuras, other BMWs - the Gran Tursimo 550i is by far the best of them. 1. The car is a rocket! It is really screaming fast. 2. Handling is very sharp for the size - it is truly the BMW. Note, it is not as sharp as my old 535i though, as Gran Turismo is a bit taller than sedan and feels much larger than a regular 5-series. However - the handling is still excellent. 3. All the tech toys really work well. The car has a fantastic Navigation system with a HUGE screen, which displays traffic in real time and is very easy to use. The iPod connector works super well with my iPhone. The heads-up display is very useful - really like my speed projected on the windshield. The parking rear and side cameras are really nice and all sensors work well. 4. The cabin is very spacious overall. It has really large panoramic sunroof - which is very pleasing to look inside and out. 5. The seating position is very comfortable due to Gran Turismo being taller than regular sedan. The seating position feels like in X5, which is great for my lower back in long trips. 6. The rear seats are really big - like in 7 series and can recline. 7. The car had 0 problems so far - knock-knock on the wood. 8. The trunk is really convenient once you get used to it. It is truly a hatchback and since the rear seats can fold down - I get really nice space for all the stuff I want to transport - almost like in a SUV. 9. It is UNUSUALLY styled - people stare at your car everywhere you go in admiration. I really like it being rare. And I really like its look - it is certainly a beautiful car. 10. The gas mileage is not bad for 8-cylinder beast - I get an average 19mpg - which beat my expectations. MY GRAN TURISMO ROCKS!!!

Best performing car I've ever owned or driven
by a true fan from Denver, Co. | June 18, 2012
Bought used (a dealer loaner for a year and a half). Acceleration is uneven (up to 20 MPH) from a dead start (twin-turbo), but very fast to 60 and 100. Handling is awesome. Haven't driven in snow/or ice yet (it is the xDrive model). A short learning curve for the DVD/Nav system and park distance control with camera. I've never had a car with Nav or camera/PDC. BMW dealer very fair in price. It's not a popular BMW model in the US so the pricing has really come down over the year and a half since it's delivery. I haven't needed to call the agent or dealership yet in the one month that I've had the car. Service can't be commented on yet. This is my 4th BMW, but first since 2001 5 series model. There's much more room for pax in this car than a 5 series (cab dimensions are more like the 7 series sedan). Entering and exiting the car is easier that the lower line sedans, but shorter that the tall X5 ( I'm 6' and 190 lbs.). Price is $10k cheaper than the X5 similarly equipped. I paid for one with four options/packages: panarama sunroof, sport drive, upgraded stereo, winter comfort package. It had 23k miles. Mileage is within the range published: 16 in the city, 22 highway.

Too Big to Fail, Hidden Risks, and the Fallacy of Large Institutions
Charles S. Tapiero
NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering - Department of Finance and Risk Engineering
Nassim Nicholas Taleb
NYU-Tandon School of Engineering; New England Complex Systems Institute
May 2, 2009
Large institutions are disproportionately more fragile to Black Swans.
This paper establishes the case for a fallacy of economies of scale in large aggregate institutions. The problem of rogue trading is taken as a case example of hidden risks where rogue traders and losses are considered independently and dependently of the institution's size. Both independent and dependent loss and hidden positions are shown to lead to the paper's conclusion, that size and economies of scale have commensurate risks that mitigate the advantages of size.

A Victorian house in a small town is all that artist Lara Peale has left of her failed marriage. This summer, she wants to erase reminders of her divorce from her home — but before she can make any major renovations, the plans will have to be approved by the Falls Borough Historical Society. The group sends over historian and author Mark Vereker, whose views clash with Lara's right off the bat. As a Falls Borough native, Mark has worked hard to preserve the town's beautiful old houses and is determined, in his view, to keep Lara from ruining hers. Meanwhile Mark's ancestor, late poet and womanizer Geoffrey Vereker, watches the mortals from beyond. What starts as voyeurism gives him insight into his cursed existence, but can he find redemption for his past?
Fans of Sherryl Woods, Robyn Carr and Debbie Macomber will love the small-town setting, three-dimensional characters and paranormal (ghost) elements in this contemporary romance, originally published as part of the Berkley Jove (Penguin Group) Love Letters line.

Is Good Nutritional Health Expensive?
According to JAMA (the Journal of the American Medical Association), Modifiable behaviors are the leading cause of death in the USA. Modifiable behaviors include quitting smoking, eating 5-9 servings of fruits and veggies each week, and fitting in some excessive. Changing these behaviors to the positive can increase length of life 100 fold. The leading causes of death in the USA include cancer, heart disease and strokes. All preventable by living a healthy lifestyle. According to statistics, one American dies ever 12 seconds from heart disease. Top professionals say heart disease is the most preventable of deaths with proper diet, exercise and a phytonutrient enriched diet.
According to JAMA, just 2.5 hours of exercise per week can make all the difference in the world. Some suggestions are to walk a flight of stairs instead of taking the elevator, sitting on a balance ball instead of your chair, and don't send an email to your colleagues, walk to tell them instead. If you are traveler, carry a backpack with all of you important information. This will burn some much needed calories.
Stock up on lean meats and vegetables while they are on sale. Realize you don't need that 24 ounce steak. A serving of meat is actually just 3-4 ounces. Frozen vegetables may be in order if you can't get to the fresh ones in time. Make a grocery list for the week and simply stick to it. The more often you enter a store, the more often you may impulse buy. Eat a meal before grocery shopping. Shopping while hungry means that will likely buy more food than you need. And you are also to likely buy more junk foods as well.
Phytonutrients are most important to human health and wellness. Sadly, many find themselves way too busy to fit in the recommended amount of 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables each week. This is where a whole foods and non-synthetic nutritional supplement like BODY BALANCE can help. Just 2 ounces am and 2 ounces pm can help deliver a nutritional punch as never seen before. Try your BODY BALANCE today. We are certain it will help augment your efforts to consume a healthy diet and live a healthy lifestyle as well.

A Smarter Way to Manage Desktops
Use SunVirtualBox and Sun VDI to deliver a new level of productivity andsecurity ? just like Sun did for 21,000 virtual desktops at JavaOnethis year.
IT management is constantly askedto do more with less. Traditionally, the focus has been on hardware:wringing more productivity out of servers, consolidating systems to cutcosts, and so on. But there are also opportunities to save money andimprove efficiency by enabling people to do more with less ?particularly when it comes to managing desktop environments.
Despite the massive influx of mobile devices, netbooks, and otherhand-held gizmos, the desktop computer is still the predominantproductivity tool in most organizations. Yet all too often thedesktop?s functionality is still limited to one operating system andone CPU used by one individual; the company?s desktops are stillmanaged by a small army of administrators (whose salaries continue toclimb while hardware costs shrink); and security is still a majorproblem.
Visualize a Virtualized Environment
In the same way server and storage systems can be virtualized topool resources and improve utilization rates, desktop environments canbe virtualized to improve end-user productivity, manageability, andsecurity.
Through virtualization products such as Sun VirtualBoxsoftware, a single desktop can host multiple operating systems andperform many different types of jobs. So a Windows-based PC is nolonger just a PC ? can also run the Macintosh OS in one window, Linuxin another, and OpenSolaris in yet another.
Moreover, with Sun VirtualBox the desktop device is no longerlimited to the number of physical CPUs it was built with. It can beconfigured with virtual CPUs (up to 32 virtual CPUs in a single system)or it can tap into the processing power of larger servers or even cloudcomputing environments.
And with Sun VirtualBox the desktop device is no longer subject tothe same security threats as a PC because the virtual environments areisolated from the native environment and can be discarded at any time.So users can feel free to try out new software or download programsinto a virtual environment without the risk of contaminating the hostmachine.
You can even test-drive a new OS, such as Windows 7 or the latestversion of OpenSolaris, or launch an instance of a legacy OS, such asOS/2, without disrupting anything or putting any resources at risk.
Think of the desktop device as a house with different rooms fordifferent purposes: an ?office? where work is kept separate from homestuff; ?family rooms? where each member of the family has their ownspace and can make/break things at will (ideal for teenagers); ?safezones? where you can do financial transactions with complete security;even a ?cleaning cabinet? that cleans up the other spaces in thebackground.
Equally important, through the management capabilities of products such as Sun Virtual Desktop Infrastructure(VDI), the administration of virtual desktop environments can becentralized and streamlined, saving administrative time and expense.Since desktops are centrally hosted, only the display is sent to theclient device; critical data never leaves the corporate network and canbe managed and backed up by IT.
Showcase Example: Sun VirtualBox and Sun VDI at JavaOne
To better understand the real-world potential of Sun VirtualBox andSun VDI, take a closer look at how Sun provisioned and managed 21,000virtual desktops for the attendees of this year?s JavaOne conference inSan Francisco.
Sun installed hundreds of Sun Ray ?thin-client? desktops throughoutthe lobby areas of the Moscone Center, where the conference took place.Every JavaOne attendee was given a smartcard as part of theirregistration welcome kit. To access their home or work desktops fromthe Sun Rays, all they had to do was insert the smartcard into thenearest available Sun Ray and choose the type of virtual desktop theywanted: Windows 7, Ubuntu Linux, or OpenSolaris.
The first time the user made the choice, the chosen virtual desktopvirtual machine (VM) was created based on a template in Sun VDI. The VMconfiguration was stored in a MySQL database, and the virtual diskimage was quickly cloned from the template. Then Sun VDI chose aVirtualBox server, launched the new VM on that server, andauthenticated the new virtual disk. When the user removed his or hersmartcard, the VM suspended after a short period, freeing up resourcesfor other users. Re-insertion of the smartcard re-launched thepreviously created virtual desktop, and the VM was restored from disk.
How many administrators were required to manage these 21,000 virtual desktops? A grand total of two.
And how much high-powered hardware was required to run everything? Asingle rack, populated by four VDI servers (Sun Fire X4450 servers,each with four CPUs and 64 GB memory), five VirtualBox servers (SunFire X4450 servers, each with four CPUs, six cores per CPU and 64 GB ofmemory), and three 7210 Unified Storage servers. This configuration,incidentally, proved to be excessive for the requirements!
Open Source Alternative, Open to Any OS
Sun VirtualBox has quickly and quietly become the most popular opensource virtualization solution in the world. The installed base exceeds16 million, and there were more than one million downloads in the monthof July alone, according to senior product manager Andy Hall.
?I believe Sun VirtualBox has gained traction quickly because it?san enterprise-class solution that runs on all major operating systems,and it?s the first virtualization product that handles workloads of upto 32 virtual CPUs,? said Hall. ?And since it?s backed by a large andgrowing community, it simply delivers more innovation, faster.?

The Philadelphia Eagles own the draft's fourth overall pick and have been linked to a handful of candidates so far. Chip Kelly could opt to improve the defense, which is needed for a unit that allowed over 20 points in each of the final 11 contests in 2012.
The Eagles have pressing needs at nose tackle, 3-4 defensive end, cornerback and safety. Kelly has added six new starters on defense, just in free agency, but many of those players are simply stopgap players that would be best suited as backups.
Trading down is definitely an option for Philly, as it would give Kelly even more picks with which to improve the team. Either way, the talent pool on the roster is scarce enough that any player picked in the first three or four rounds has a chance to start from day one.

Chrome moly is not a reference to whether a barrel is chrome lined or not. Chrome moly barrels come with and without chrome plating, depending on the manufacturer and/or your specification.
Chrome lined barrels have a lining of chrome throughout the bore that inhibits rust, increases longevity, aids in cleaning, and even enhances feeding and extracting. It's only drawback is a slight decrease in accuracy, not noticeable unless you are a bench shooter trying to get that extra 1/4 MOA accuracy...
July 21, 2007, 04:43 PM
yep, your (pretty much) only choices in ar barrels are chrome moly or stainless steal, you can get the chrome moly chrome lined for an increase in service live, and its easier to clean, but at the cost of it being slightly less accurate (as a general rule)
Chrome lined= longer service life, easier to clean, less accurate
Chrome moly(reg. barrel)= slightly shorter service life, more accurate
stainless steal= most accurate, shortest serive life

Calling page inside

I am using jsp with AJAX,
Calling a page inside div tag, contents of the page appear but not functioning.
for testing I have only a text field and a button and calling a javascript function fetchData which sends id through url parameters to jsp page and in response (using AJAX logic) that page sends data back which should be appear inside another div tag please see the following code and suggest me what is wrong with it
home page
<%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
Re: Calling page inside

try this cuz im more sure ab8 this
may be the onclick - > onClick may work
else try below
<input type="button" value="Fetch" id="btnFetch" name="btn_Fetch" onClick="fetchData(document.getElementById('txtPID').value);">
you have missed a ';'
and juz a tip
when you use something like a [div] and need to use it in the code
do something like ele1 = document.getElementById('div1')
so you could call the options easily like ele1.style.wutever = wutever;
Re: Calling page inside

You need to use ajax to request that page and have it returned and then have the ajax response text be set as the inner html of that element.

A 15-MONTH-OLD girl developed a right facial nerve palsy (Figure 1) while receiving oral treatment with amoxicillin for a sore throat and bilateral otitis media of one week's duration. On physical examination, bilateral otomastoiditis, perforation of the left tympanic membrane, and right-sided cervical lymphadenopathy were found. Bilateral mastoidectomy/antrotomy was performed: on gross inspection, the mucosa appeared dark red, swollen, and polypoid. The diagnostic histological findings of the biopsy specimens are shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3. Oral steroids were given for 5 days, and amoxicillin–clavulanic acid was administered intravenously for 14 days. At follow-up 4 months later there was complete recovery including resolution of the nerve deficit.

Summary of Federal Laws and Regulations Affecting Agricultural Employers, 2000
Stay Connected
Agricultural Handbook No. (AH-719) 68 pp, July 2000
About 34 percent of U.S. farms in 1997 used hired labor, and 12 percent used contract labor. Hired labor costs averaged 12 percent of total farm production expenses in 1997, but amounted to as much as 44 percent of production expenses for horticultural specialty crop producers, 40 percent for fruit and tree nut producers, and 32 percent for vegetable and melon producers. Hired farmworkers have accounted for about 31 percent of the farm workforce in the 1990's. Hired labor's importance of to U.S. farm production requires agricultural employers to understand Federal laws and regulations governing employment, taxes, wages, and working conditions. This single-source publication summarizes these laws and regulations. This updated version of a 1992 report contains expanded sections on agricultural employers' Federal safety requirements, migrant and seasonal farmworker provisions, and tax requirements for agricultural employers, as well as new sections on employer responsibilities under the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 and the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996.
Keywords: agricultural labor, farm labor, farm labor policy, employer-employee relations

EASTAR Health System (EASTAR Health Services) offers community focused healthcare services in Muskogee, OK. The people of EASTAR Health Services have dedicated themselves to providing the highest quality of health care to the people of Muskogee County, OK and the surrounding areas. Today, our physicians, nurses, and other professionals take great pride in our hospital's inviting atmosphere and the quality of its services. Accredited by The Joint Commission, EASTAR Health System offers an extensive range of medical and surgical services.
Cardiologists on EASTAR Health Services's Medical Staff have been continuously involved in national as well as international landmark studies conducted to compare various medications in the effectiveness of treatment on cardiac patients. In addition, the medical center is periodically involved in Health Care Quality Improvement Projects, statewide cardiology studies sponsored by the Oklahoma Foundation for Medical Quality.
Muskogee's Cancer Program Earns National Accreditation
EASTAR Health Services's cancer program has earned a full three-year accreditation from the Commission on Cancer, recognizing the hospital's commitment to patients with cancer as well as to the community. The Commission on Cancer is a multidisciplinary program of the American College of Surgeons. CoC approval is nationally recognized by organizations such as The Joint Commission, American Cancer Society, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, National Quality Forum, and the National Cancer institute as having established performance measures for the provision of high-quality cancer care. Congratulations are extended to Cancer Registrar Debbie Hannis and Dr. Lawrence Cibula as well as to the Tumor Board and the Cancer Board for leading the hospital to this accomplishment.
EASTAR Health Services Earns Prestigious CME Certification
The Oklahoma State Medical Association has granted EASTAR Health System full accreditation as a sponsor of Continuing Medical Education. Congratulations are extended to CME Coordinator Sandra Bell, Dr. YeeSee Ong and the CME Advisory Board for their hard work and dedication to providing comprehensive education for health professionals.
EASTAR Health Services Providence Imaging Earns ACR Accreditation
EASTAR Health Services Providence Imaging has been awarded a three-year term of accreditation in mammography as the result of a recent review by the American College of Radiology (ACR). Mammography is a specific type of imaging test that uses a low-dose x-ray system to examine breasts. A mammography exam, called a mammogram, is used to aid in the early detection and diagnosis of breast diseases in women.
The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety. It is awarded only to facilities meeting ACR Practice Guidelines and Technical Standards after a peer-review evaluation by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. Image quality, personnel qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment, quality control procedures, and quality assurance programs are assessed. The findings are reported to the ACR Committee on Accreditation, which subsequently provides the practice with a comprehensive report they can use for continuous practice improvement.
The ACR is a national professional organization serving more than 34,000 diagnostic/interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and medical physicists with programs focusing on the practice of medical imaging and radiation oncology and the delivery of comprehensive health care services.
EASTAR Health Services's Laboratory is staffed by personnel certified by the American Society of Clinical Pathologists. The Lab is divided into five special sections, each of which deals with a different area of laboratory science: Chemistry, Hematology, Blood Bank, Microbiology and Histology. Laboratory technology and equipment at EASTAR Health Services are constantly changing as new advances are made in the science of Medical Technology.
CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program
Our hospital laboratory has achieved accreditation from the College of American Pathologists (CAP). The CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program is an internationally recognized program and the only one of its kind that utilizes teams of practicing laboratory professionals as inspectors. Designed to go well beyond regulatory compliance, the program helps laboratories achieve the highest standards of excellence to positively impact patient care. The laboratory at Capital Medical Center is CAP accredited.
The program is based on rigorous accreditation standards that are translated into detailed and focused checklist requirements. The checklists, which provide a quality practice blueprint for laboratories to follow, are used by the inspection teams as a guide to assess the overall management and operation of the laboratory. To learn more about the College of American Pathologists (CAP) or about how pathologists contribute to your health, click here to visit the website.
Most specimens tested are blood, urine and tissue, but you'd be surprised to know that tests could be performed on hair, fingernails and even sweat.
Lab Technicians, Technologists and Pathologists all work together to arrange for testing, including cross matching units of blood to arrange for blood transfusions, cultures, cardiac enzymes, drug monitoring, coagulation testing, blood counts, electrolytes, and chemistry assays.
Sometimes, your physician may request a test be performed that may require fasting. Certain tests are very sensitive to changes that occur after a meal, and can only be interpreted by comparing results in a fasting state. That fasting is determined by the type of test to be done. For instance, triglycerides or a lipid profile require 12 hours of fasting, but blood sugar can be tested after a six hour fast.
With a commitment to quality and accuracy, EASTAR Health System's lab is surveyed by CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program and all inspections are done with an eye toward assuring that the lab offers the highest possible quality of patient testing.
EASTAR Health Services achieves Gold Star Award for a Breastfeeding Friendly Worksite
The Oklahoma State Department of Health, the Oklahoma Healthy Mothers, the Healthy Babies Coalition, and the Coalition of Oklahoma Breastfeeding Advocates proudly recognize EASTAR Health System for outstanding support to Oklahoma mothers and their breastfeeding infants and children. Gold Star worksites must exceed the minimum criteria and have met at least three additional criteria to have been a recipient of the award. Recognition is valid through November 30, 2012.

Bad allocations
March 24, 2012 - Harry Eagar
In the comments to 'Why gas prices are so high" (March 21), I said that unregulated markets do a lousy job of allocating resources. Skipper responded that, "Free markets more efficiently allocate resources than anything else ever tried."
I could write a book about why I'm right, but let's take two examples for empirical examination, a local, restricted one, and a wider, more general one.
Utah Lake is one of the largest bodies of freshwater in the most arid region of the country. A valuable resource, one might think.
However, if you wanted to run a steel mill in Utah County and make a profit, you would not want to spend any money protecting Utah Lake. The mill is long gone, the dirty water remains.
The most obvious, and probably the most damaging misallocation of resources by the markets is child labor.
It may be (or may not be) the case that in traditional agricultural societies, child labor made sense. It doesn't in modern conditions, yet it persists (and some leading Republicans want to bring it back).
Consider two of the poorest countries in Europe 150 years ago. Sweden was the poorest of all, but for religious reasons it insisted that all children go to school. Because of its high value human capital, within about a century it was the richest country in Europe.
Portugal was not quite as poor a Sweden and also partly for religious reasons, it made no effort to educate its children. Instead they were put to work, for example making toothpicks by hand for about 8 cents a day.
Despite being exempt from the socialist experimentation tried by Sweden and much of the rest of Europe, Portugal remains just about the poorest country in Europe.
The very strong tendency of unregulated managers to misallocate labor has long been noticed. As far back as 1970, Henry Hodges, in "Technology in the Ancient World," wrote about the disastrous decline in innovation that began around 2300 years ago:
"A third contributory cause that historians have often ignored is the appearance of a very mediocre and often dishonest class of lower-grade administrators and civil servants into whose hands was put the running of industry, commerce and agriculture. Their business, as they interpreted it, was to see that the output of workshops and farms was adequate, and that any commercial enterprise such as shipping ran at an acceptable level of profit.
"These men were responsible for all the technological processes involved in the enterprises they were controlling, yet their recipes for increasing output were seldom other than to employ more labor. Thus, in a large-scale process such as the cupellation of lead ores for the recovery of silver, where because of lead poisoning, the life of a slave could be reckoned in months rather than years, nothing was done to improve the unhappy lot of the slaves, although the cost of replacing them was enormous and had to be borne against the profits of the process.
"It was in this lower order of administrators whose duty it was to understand the processes of which they in charge and it was from their ranks that new technological innovations should have come. Instead they behaved like perfect civil servants: they kept their businesses, their estates and their workshops in good order; asked no intelligent questions; and got, therefore, no intelligent answers."

the value represents a time stamp ("2004-12-31 23:59:59")
rather than a duration ("seven minutes"). You could (ab)use
them for your purpose, but you might run into oddities like
time zone corrections and/or daylight savings adjustments if
your durations got large enough. Besides, what you want to
do is so simple that dragging out all the
would be canaricide by cannon.

'Peanuts' for Your VCR
Remember to check the Feb. 13 funny papers for the final "Peanuts" cartoon. Charles M. Schulz is retiring for good after that. But on Friday, Feb. 11, another institution is saluting the good guy behind Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, Linus and the others. Veteran newsman Walter Cronkite will host the new CBS entertainment special, "Good Grief, Charlie Brown: A Tribute to Charles Schulz." The one-hour retrospective will take a look at all 50 years of the "Peanuts" strip and how its characters charmed and affected us. One bit of inside info: Inspiration for Snoopy came from Schulz's own dog. His name was Spike.

The Mahindra Group – a $17 billion IT and vehicle manufacturing firm in India – will now produce a line of two-wheeled, all-electric vehicles out of a 37,000-square-foot Ann Arbor facility.
The group unveiled its new GenZe electric vehicle today at a press conference with Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder at its facility at 1901 E. Ellsworth. Mahindra also announced its new North American Technical Center in Troy, which will act as a headquarters, of sorts, for some of its North American operations.
Anand Mahindra, the chairman of the Mahindra Group, said that it was Snyder's passion to reinvent and his passion to build a place for the future that made Michigan the right fit for Mahindra to locate its technical and manufacturing facilities.
"Michigan provided us the perfect ecosystem to step up our U.S. presence. We were able to draw on the terrific automotive engineering and manufacturing talent available in the state, to create industry leading initiatives for the United States," Mahindra said.
"The North American Technical Center and GenZe represent important disruptive product incubators for the Mahindra Group. Constant innovation focused on improving the lives of our consumers, employees and the communities they impact is at the core of Mahindra's 'Rise' philosophy and we are delighted to see this come to fruition in the United States."
The two-wheel electric vehicles – which were designed, engineered and will be built in Ann Arbor – will cater to city living and college towns, said Terence Duncan, head of consumer engagement for Mahindra.
"This is a product that was designed for urban environments and designed for university students. It's intended to be a supplement to the various transportation options you have," he said.
"If you take an environment like Ann Arbor – which is typical for what we're aiming for – you've got students that live on and off campus and farther away from campus. So what we needed was a product that allowed students to bring all of their stuff with them. What we have is kind of like a two-wheel pickup truck."
The vehicle has top speeds of 30 miles per hour, so drivers won't need special endorsements on their licenses in order to operate them. Charges last up to 30 miles and the battery packs are removable and can be charged intermittently in any standard wall outlet.
Additionally, every vehicle comes equipped with a 7-inch Cruise Connect touchscreen display panel that gives all vehicle information – battery life, speed, range, etc. – which can be fully integrated with users' cellphones, allowing for Internet and mobile app connectivity.
The vehicle also has extra-large rear storage capacity, adjustable seating and digital device charging.
Duncan said that the company will launch a brick and mortar location in California later this year, but the product – which will cost about $3,000 – will be available for order online with shipment expected for the fourth quarter of this year.
"No one has ever ridden a two-wheeler like this before. It's not like riding a motorcycle or a scooter. It feels much more like riding a bike," he said.
"We want to experiment with some marketing techniques, but what we'll have are these vans that will be like satellite, pop-up stores, where we'll have the vehicles out at, say, a Whole Foods or somewhere on a college campus, and people will be able to ride them and test them and feel them. That's the only way someone's going to buy it or get the full experience."
The number of jobs that will be created from the vehicle's production, Duncan said, will be determined by the demand for the vehicle. Mahindra said that there are about 60 people currently working in the Ann Arbor facility, and more than 40 in the Troy technical facility.
Snyder said that the company was given some incentives in terms of grants totaling "several hundred thousand dollars for each project."
"In addition to talent, which I view as our number one priority, are things like the tax environment. When I came into office Michigan was ranked 49 and we're ranked ninth now and we're still improving…. By helping companies succeed, they create jobs and we win together," Snyder added.
"We welcome global leaders like Mahindra to Michigan and applaud them for their product and engineering leadership. Hi-tech green manufacturing and (research and development) has been the cornerstone of our partnership and job creation initiatives and we are pleased to have the Mahindra brand grow its U.S. presence from Michigan."
The Ann Arbor facility has the capacity to assemble up to 9,000 vehicles per year, with the ability to ramp up to 20,000 vehicles if needed.

So glad we dodged yet another bullet with our state legislature here in WA!
OLYMPIA, Wash. — On May 24, the state Legislature released its proposed 2011-13 biennial operating budget, which provides full funding for the state's five regional transportation coordinators. In addition, money for school bus replacements has not been touched.
This was welcome news to members of the Washington Association for Pupil Transportation (WAPT), who had been working diligently to voice their concerns over proposed changes to these issues, as SBF reported in March.
"We're very excited and we're so thankful — it's been a long, hard road," WAPT President Tom Culliton, who is director of transportation for North Mason School District in Belfair, Wash., told SBF in an interview. "We're also very humbled. K-12 took cuts all across the board. School districts in the state of Washington didn't get out of this lightly."
In December, Gov. Chris Gregoire proposed removing from her budget funding for the regional transportation coordinators and moving money from the state's Transportation Vehicle Fund into operations and transportation to support the state's new funding formula for school districts. Culliton and other WAPT members contacted numerous government officials about the impact these changes would have, and they also worked to spread the word to the state's pupil transportation community.
In addition, on May 16, members of WAPT — including Culliton and Ron Lee, the association's legislative liaison — as well as officials from the State of Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, the Public School Employees of Washington and the Washington Association of School Administrators testified at a public hearing in the Senate Ways & Means Committee against Senate Bill 5476.
Currently, school districts in the state receive payments annually to accumulate funding for bus replacements over a period of years. Senate Bill 5476 would have changed this by only providing districts with a single payment in the final year in the lifetime of the vehicle.
In his testimony, Culliton made several points about the legislation. He said that the state has put a tremendous amount of money in the capital budget to get pre-1994 buses off the road or retrofit them and that if districts don't have yearly depreciation funding, they will be forced to keep older and less efficient buses for many more years.
Second, he explained that many school districts, including his, use the yearly depreciation money to support lease/purchase agreements or as the revenue stream to pay for non-voted debt to buy buses.
"Our concern was that if you take the money for transportation away, millions of dollars come out of the school districts' general fund to back-fill transportation debt services, and that's ultimately taking money out of the classrooms, so it would be a no-win situation," Culliton explained to SBF.
Also during his testimony, Culliton noted that the bill would make it difficult for the bus vendors that serve the state's school districts to stay in business because fewer districts would be buying buses because of the lack of annual depreciation dollars. Finally, he said that while there may be some savings early on to meet today's budget needs, over the long term, this cut would actually cost the state more money.
Culliton told SBF that the senators were responsive to the group's testimonies and he believes that it gave them an opportunity to understand the ramifications if the bill progressed.
"Leaving our bus replacement system the way it is made us very happy," he added.
Moreover, he stressed that taking on these legislative issues took persistence and the collective efforts of numerous individuals and groups, including WAPT board members, officials from school districts and the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, school bus drivers and technicians.
"A special thanks should go out to Ron Lee, Marcia Fromhold, the WAPT executive board's legislative representative, and everyone who contacted their state representatives," Culliton said.

Estate Saling Addiction
That said, I regressed a little by hitting up an estate sale THREE TIMES. Three days in a row. Because first day you pay full price, then the second day it's 25% off, then 50% the third day.
I found so many treasures, some of which I will pop on Etsy, the others I will keep, and others I will use in my craft booth display.
Some pretties include one of those fabric baskets, vintage Christmas glass ornaments, vintage fabrics, oval embroidery hanging, and rug for kitchen.
Oh yes, the winner of the Spincushions giveaway is Jessica. Congratulations; I'll email you. More for You Monday is on a wee break while I prep for BlogSugar/craft fairs/etc.
I'll end with some randoms:
Globe collection is underway. They are an expensive thing to collect. Maybe I'm just not buying at the right places?
As showcased in above photo, our house is always messy.
I had Lasik eye surgery a few years ago.
I like to wear pants above my belly button.
I'm stumped on what to wear to BlogSugar (I'll be there Fri-Mon so that's alot of outfits!).
I'm wondering if I can craft in the airplane on way to L.A. or if they'll say a needle is a weapon.

I've read your blog for awhile now and stayed in the shadows. I also think you should post options of pics of outfits and let us vote! Also, you can fly with a needle! I did last May and I took a pair of finger nail clippers w/o the little nail cleaner on the inside (the little thing that can poke out) so I could cut the thread, since I don't think scissors are allowed!

I'm *pretty* sure you can bring a needle on with you as long as you show that it goes with a craft project. Although, last year I tried to get knitting needles through on a flight from The Bahamas and they almost got taken away from me.
I love globes too! I've always wondered why they're so darn expensive...It's not like the maps are always changing :P

Venture out to Joe Root's Grill
Nearly 100 years after his death, Joe Root is once again King of the Peninsula thanks to the restaurant that bears the same name.
Before the opening of Joe Root's Grill in 1999, few knew the story of one of Presque Isle's first residents.
But Joe Root was a real resident of Erie and a legend in his own time. According to the Erie County Historical Society, the "King of the Peninsula" and "Hermit of Presque Isle" was a local fisherman who took up permanent residence on Presque Isle. Over the years, Joe Root coexisted with visitors, often entertaining children with his ventriloquism and in turn earning a plate at the family's picnic.
Today, Joe Root's Grill is much like its namesake. From its location on the corner of West Eighth Street and Peninsula Drive, it greets thousands of visitors to Presque Isle State Park, reels them in with a variety of fresh, local perch and walleye and captivates children of all ages with its local lore.
We got to know Joe during a recent family dinner.
While the menu is full of options, don't overlook the soups. The lobster bisque, clam chowder and prime rib are all made from scratch. My Presque Isle Prime Rib soup was superb with large chunks of prime rib and potato in a peppery broth.
Seafood is a specialty at Joe Root's, and there are many fresh and tasty options -- including the perch, which recently earned the title Erie's Best Fish Fry. I chose the open face crabcake burger served on a basil focaccia roll with a side of homemade r�moulade sauce.
The crabby patty was crispy on the outside and full of a nice blend of crab meat and seasonings on the inside.
Doug opted for turf. His smothered chicken combined bacon, saut�ed mushrooms, spicy ranch dressing and two types of cheese for a flavor that was moist and smooth.
If you're like Chet, who is always in the mood for a steak, Joe Root's offers several hand cut options from filet and New York strip to prime rib and the Black Diamond, a sirloin marinated in a secret blend of sauce and seasonings. Lucky for us, Joe Root's has a kid-sized (and priced) steak, too.
Thanks for the memories, Joe.

A Chinese company is reversing the trend of textile jobs going overseas.
The Keer Group will build a new plant south of Charlotte, creating 501 jobs over five years.
The company will construct a 230,000-square-foot facility in Indian Land in Lancaster County in a $218 million investment as its first plant outside of China.
"During our search, South Carolina quickly rose to the top of our list," said Zhu Shan Qing, chairman of Keer Group. "We chose to locate our first U.S. facility in South Carolina for a number of reasons, which include the state's workforce, proximity to cotton producers and access to the port."
The company will produce industrial cotton yarn, taking advantage of South Carolina's location within the heart of the nation's cotton-producing region. Keer expects to break ground in early February and be in operation next year.
"Keer's commitment to our state is a strong testament to South Carolina's pro-business environment and capable and ready workforce," Gov. Nikki Haley said.
South Carolina leads the U.S. in foreign-affiliated job recruitment per capita according to IBM's Global Location Trends report, and Chinese firms in particular represent an important and growing part of the state's business community.
From 2011 to 2013, China was the fourth-highest nation in foreign-direct investment to South Carolina, behind Germany, Japan and France, according to state Commerce officials. In 2012, a record export year for the state with $25.3 billion in goods exported, China ranked third globally in receiving products from South Carolina.
"South Carolina has long been a strong player in both manufacturing and foreign-direct investment," said Secretary of Commerce Bobby Hitt. "Foreign-owned companies employ more than 100,000 South Carolinians today and are located in nearly every county. China represents an opportunity to continue that growth trend."
The state's logistics capabilities was an important driver of the company's decision, and yarn produced in Keer's facility will be exported in containers to China via the Port of Charleston.
"The South Carolina Ports Authority is pleased to fulfill the Keer Group's export needs through the Port of Charleston's eight direct service routes to China," said Jim Newsome, president and CEO of the South Carolina Ports Authority. "The Southeast region, and South Carolina in particular, continues to see export growth driven by manufacturing, and Keer's major investment signals its potential to soon become one of our state's largest exporters."
Zhu, chairman of Keer Group, said South Carolina's China Office played an important role in introducing the company to the state.
"Through Mr. Ling Xinwei (John Ling) from the S.C. Department of Commerce China Office, we became introduced to South Carolina's capabilities and assets, which helped make this project a reality," Zhu said.
Keer expects to begin hiring during the second half of 2014 and is actively working with readySC, the state's workforce training and development program that comprises all 16 of the state's technical colleges.
"The Keer project is one of the single largest industrial investments in the history of Lancaster County and the more than 500 textile jobs will provide a much-needed boost to our local economy," said Larry McCullough, chairman of Lancaster County Council. "For over 100 years Lancaster County was a leader in the textile industry and with the addition of Keer's new manufacturing facility we can once again be a leader in the industry for decades to come."

'Warrior' isn't the only underseen September release out on DVD this week; 'Straw Dogs' arrived on Tuesday as well, only with almost as little fanfare as it had upon initial release. The remake of Sam Peckinpah's notorious revenge thriller earned just $10 million at the box office, and was quickly labeled one of the bigger bombs of 2011. Not that star James Marsden is too concerned with that reception.
"Nobody sets out to make a bad movie," he told ET. "Nobody sets out for their film to do mediocre at the box office. [...] Obviously I want my movies to do well and for people to dig my work, but at some point it's out of your power. It's your responsibility as an actor to deliver a performance that you're proud of. If people like my movies, that means more to me than if they do well at the box office. I can name a movie I did that made a lot of money at the box office, but I don't think it's a good movie. I think 'Straw Dogs' is a better movie than that one, so creatively I'm prouder of this one."
That's a good outlook on fame and life in general -- you can only control what you can control -- but it raises the question: which of his successful films does James Marsden think is not good? Let's investigate!
1. 'X-Men: The Last Stand': $234.3M
2. 'X2: X-Men United': $214.9M
3. 'Superman Returns': $200M
4. 'X-Men': $157.2M
5. 'Enchanted': $127.8M
6. 'Hairspray': $118.8M
7. 'Hop': $108M
8. 'The Notebook': $81M
9. '27 Dresses': $76.8M
10. 'Death at a Funeral': $43.7M
Marsden also did voice work in 'Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore,' which made $43.5 million. So! Which of those films was Marsden referring to? Speculate wildly -- and likely inaccurately -- in the comments section below.
'Straw Dogs' is on DVD now.
