What is immune globulin intravenous (IVIG) (Gammagard)?
Immune globulin intravenous is a sterilized solution made from human plasma. It contains the antibodies to help your body protect itself against infection from various diseases.
Immune globulin is used to treat primary immune deficiency, and to reduce the risk of infection in individuals with poorly functioning immune systems such as those with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). IGIV is also used to increase platelets (blood clotting cells) in people with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and to prevent aneurysm caused by a weakening of the main artery in the heart associated with Kawasaki syndrome.
Immune globulin is also used to treat chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), a debilitating nerve disorder that causes muscle weakness and can affect daily activities.
Immune globulin may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What are the possible side effects of immune globulin?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
- urinating less than usual or not at all;
- drowsiness, confusion, mood changes, increased thirst, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting;
- swelling, weight gain, feeling short of breath;
- wheezing, chest tightness;
- feeling like you might pass out;
- easy bruising, unusual bleeding (nose, mouth, vagina, or rectum), purple or red pinpoint spots under your skin;
- black or tarry stools, coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds;
- red or pink urine;
- sudden numbness or weakness, sudden severe headache, confusion, problems with vision or speech;
- chest pain, sudden cough, wheezing, rapid breathing, warmth or swelling in one or both legs;
- fever with headache, neck stiffness, chills, increased sensitivity to light, purple spots on the skin, and/or seizure (convulsions); or
- pale or yellowed skin, dark colored urine, fever, confusion or weakness.
Less serious side effects may include:
- mild headache;
- dizziness;
- tired feeling;
- back pain, muscle cramps;
- minor chest pain; or
- flushing (warmth, redness, or tingly feeling).
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Read the Gammagard (immune globulin) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
What is the most important information I should know about immune globulin?
Immune globulin can harm your kidneys, and this effect is increased when you also use certain other medicines harmful to the kidneys. Before using immune globulin, tell your doctor about all other medications you use. Many other drugs (including some over-the-counter medicines) can be harmful to the kidneys.
Before using immune globulin intravenous, tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, diabetes (especially if you use insulin), a history of stroke or blood clot, heart disease, high blood pressure, a condition called paraproteinemia, or if you are over 65 years old.
To be sure this medicine is helping your condition and is not causing harmful effects, your blood will need to be tested often. Your kidney function may also need to be tested. Visit your doctor regularly.
This medication can cause unusual results with certain blood glucose tests. Tell any doctor who treats you that you are using immune globulin.
Immune globulin is made from human plasma (part of the blood) which may contain viruses and other infectious agents. Donated plasma is tested and treated to reduce the risk of it containing infectious agents, but there is still a small possibility it could transmit disease. Talk with your doctor about the risks and benefits of using this medication.

I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on this baseball draft i'm joining friday night.
Who would be the best players to pick? Should I go for pitchers first or offense.
I'm paying 100 bucks to get in this draft and i've never been in one before so any advice would be helpful.
I'm guessing Matt Kemp or Clayton Kershaw would be good number 1 draft picks.
what posistions are the best to pick early?

Meat Labels: What Do They Mean?
I don't know about you, but I spend a LOT of time at the meat counter at the grocery store. I love my meat. We all do, otherwise we probably wouldn't be Paleo. Not all meats are created equally, though, and they all have different, sometimes confusing labels on them – all natural, organic, grass-fed, free-range, etc. Instead of just throwing up your hands in confusion and settling for the cheapest option, I want you to be versed in the … Continue reading

Magic Johnson just had to go there, didn't he?

Asked during an appearance at the University at Albany for the accomplishment he is most proud of, Johnson bypassed his three NBA Most Valuable Player awards and five championships.

Johnson said he was most proud of his work in the community and organizing scholarships for students, one of whom was in the audience. After all, many players win rings and trophies without ever contributing to society.

"There will always be guys who win championships," Johnson said, "except LeBron."

LMAO!!!

Capitol Tour Web Exhibit
Willson Park, to the west, was a city park from 1853 until 1965 when it officially became part of the Capitol grounds. The park is named after William H. Willson, preacher, physician and founder of Salem who donated the land for the Capitol and the surrounding land.
It is the setting for the Waite Fountain, Parade of Animals sculpture, a Liberty Bell replica, and a gazebo constructed in 1982.

A square of 5 by 5 blocks in downtown Toronto, bordered on the west by china town, east by the 'fruit basket', south by the lakeshore, and ends in the north leading into hicksville suburbia. The 5 by 5 is a place populated by a colourful circus of extreme rejects and freaks from all walks of life and if there is anything at all happening it will be happening in the 5 by 5.
If you want to see what's on in Toronto, go to the 5 by 5, if you hit china town turn around, but if you're seeing a whole lot of transvestites and men holding hands, you've gone too far.

Flooding causes officials to keep close eye on rising river
WASHINGTON COUNTY, Tenn. - A local river rose with fury following heavy downpours of rain in North Carolina.
The rushing water also sent the Nolichucky River in Washington County, Tennessee well over its banks.
A shelter, almost taken over by rushing water, might be all you'd recognize from Sammy Fellers' campground. On a normal day, you'd see at least four campsites. "The river's way over past those trees," Fellers said as he pointed several yards away.
Monday afternoon that campground was under the Nolichucky River. The river that normally runs about three feet deep was up to 11-and-a-half feet, just six inches shy of flood stage. "In this case, North Carolina got quite a bit of rain last night, so we're seeing the effects of it," said Chad Bruckman, with the Washington County Emergency Management Agency.
The water got too close for comfort for residents who live near the riverbanks.
The Washington County Sheriff's Department and emergency management crews kept a close eye on the Nolichucky's raging water. "What we're looking at is what's going to happen tonight when North Carolina gets more rain," said Washington County Sheriff Ed Graybeal.
Several roads were closed after the streets were covered with rushing water. Officials deemed Bill Mauk Road, Charlie Carson Road, and Jackson Bridge Road were too dangerous to cross.
If the water continues to rise to dangerous levels, Sheriff Graybeal said they will evacuate residents. "We know if we need to call the fire department to help us, EMS, whatever, swift water rescue, that's what we're going to do to protect those people," added Graybeal.
In the meantime, Sammy Fellers, is keeping watch on the river from his smartphone. "Every hour you can get a reading on it," Fellers said.
Residents just hope for the best as Mother Nature inches closer to home.
We checked back with officials -- as of Monday evening, the Nolichucky River was receding and several roads were back open.

If the trio of 'state of the nation' leadership speeches are anything to go by, we're in for a boring political year. In place of meaningful ideas and innovation, all parties resorted to sloganeering. Despite all the intractable social problems and the need for new economic positions, big ideas are largely missing from New Zealand politics at the moment. Maybe the tumultuous 2012 political year for Labour and National means they're desperate to play it safe and consolidate in 2013.
It is not just an emptiness of policy on the part of Labour, but a superficiality and gimmickry that pervades the party's current approach - best pointed out in Vernon Small's very good analysis, Shearer's speech: Style over substance. And arch-critic of Shearer, Chris Trotter, has also admitted that, in terms of style, Shearer has undoubtedly improved significantly - see Dan Satherley's Trotter: Good start to the year for Shearer.
But Trotter has another savage critique of Labour today in his column, The Greens Reach Out To Reach Up. Trotter looks at the formidable electoral machine the Greens are building and compares it to Labours on the ground ability 'now a pallid shadow of its former prodigious grunt'. He also excoriates the Labour leadership for cautious policymaking: 'The Labour Leader's inner circle of advisors is distinguished neither by intellectual creativity nor operational dynamism. Far from reaching-out to activists and supporters outside the party's structures, most of the Shearer Camp's energies appear to be devoted to finding new ways of insulting and excluding them from policy-making'.
Labour is pushing its 'hands on' economic slogan - contrasting it with National's alleged 'hands off' approach. This is an attempt to draw a strong divide between the parties, and we can expect to see more. Usefully, two partisan bloggers have made their arguments about the reality of National's putative 'hands off' economic mode - see David Farrar's Not very hands off and Scott Yorke's Is National Really Hands-Off Then?. Regardless of what National is doing, Labour has a long way to go convincing many (including a number of it's core supporters) that it has any big ideas that will serve as an alternative to National's vision for the economy.
The one area in which Labour had a relatively bold policy is currently subject to serious erosion - see Claire Trevett's Shearer downsizes his housing promise. It appears that Labour is backtracking on its initial promise of building 10,000 new houses for under $300,000 each, with the slippery new explanation that its previous figure was meant as an 'average' and related more to apartments and small houses outside of Auckland. Labour now says that many KiwiBuild houses will actually cost up to $550,000.
National's apprenticeship announcement also reeked of superficiality aimed at winning some easy public approval points. This argument is well made by Tracy Watkins in On your mark - for a new beginning - probably the best commentary on John Key's state of the nation speech. Watkins explains the shift in Key's approach from previous years, in which he promoted the need for 'penny-pinching' austerity measures, to his current emphasis on keeping 'its hands on the levers'. According to Watkins there's now a public 'mood for something more than steady-as-she-goes'.
Tim Watkin also has an excellent analysis of the apprenticeship announcement in his blogpost, Mom, apple pie, apprenticeships & not much else. He says that 'apprenticeships are like mom and apple pie - everyone loves 'em, everyone reckons we should have more and is happy to see tax dollars spent getting young folk off the street and given a trade'. Watkin also bemoans the lack of boldness from National: 'The rest of Key's big plans for our economy will have eyes glazing over from Kaitaia to Bluff. Vague promises to reform the RMA, more talk of trade deals of questionable value, a piddling number of new houses (this after so few houses were built last year) and the repeated promise to sell 49 percent of a few state assets... there's little to excite voters'.
Other commentators are also less than impressed with National's minor apprenticeships policy - see, for example the Waikato Times editorial, PM offers little new policy and the Manawatu Standard column by Warwick Rasmussen, Key speech a missed opportunity. The latter says 'Key's speech was something of a missed opportunity. We are well into his second term as the nation's leader and he had the chance to really capture people's imagination with something more tangible and, possibly, bold. Instead, it gave us more of a look at the largely hands-off approach that Key's Government is known for'.
The Greens, too, appear to have little new to offer voters - their 'rent to own' housing policy appeared to be a variation on Labour's (and as fiscally conservative). In the weekend, Metiria Turei announced a new 'movement' campaign style - see Rob Kidd's Greens want wider political movement - but so far this appears to be entirely self-serving and vague. Blogger Martyn Bradbury also reports from his attendance at the Greens 'Picnic for the Planet' that despite the party's legendary high participation, there was a very low turnout ('a park with free music on a stunning day that was 80% empty suggests they have a lot of work ahead of them'), and based on his analysis of the Greens' voter support in Auckland, 'the Greens should consider changing their name to the Whites' - see: Can Greens get 15%? Not if Picnic for the Planet is an indicator. Leftwing activist blogger, Robert Winter says that he has detected a growing leadership rift in the Greens: 'I understand that in terms of both style and politics, Mr Norman has his internal critics, who are concerned about his potential capacity to "trim" his politics to gain power (a "power over principle" problem). Ms Turei is seen very differently, as a principled and radical presence' - see: Ms Turei on form.
All of the state of the nation speeches have been, according to Gordon Campbell, 'more about impression management than policy detail' and were very predictable - see: On the major party political speeches. And Colin James surveys where the various parties face challenges to changing their management and strategies - see: For four parties: the year of the pivot. Similarly, the Fairfax parliamentary gallery outline the challenges faced by all, and other upcoming issues in Payoff for austerity needed in 2013.
Other important or interesting recent political items include:
* Inequality is a major political focus at the moment. But when and how did New Zealand allegedly shift from being egalitarian to highly unequal? Steve Kilgallon surveys some of the issues and views in Are some of us more equal than others?. And today there are more reports of the extent of poverty in Olivia Carville's Quake-hit Christchurch families still living in squalor and Jo Moir and Michael Forbes' Sponsorship programme for Kiwi kids.
* The state of manufacturing is the issue of the day, with the opposition's inquiry into the sector arguably fostering a mood for economic and political change amongst some business leaders. Newswire reports that one businessperson has put forward his solution to the 'crisis' in manufacturing as 'perhaps a change of government' - see: Manufacturing inquiry draws submissions. And Adam Bennett reports that there is increased business support for the opposition's more 'hands on' economic prescription - see: Manufacturers threaten to quit NZ.
* Patrick Gower says that 'the housing wars' are 'this year's first big political issue', and already tensions are reaching the point where allegations of xenophobia and racism are coming into the debate - see: Housing affordability: Key accuses Greens, NZ First of 'racism'.
* The Labour Party's current problems can be located at The Standard blog according to Matthew Hooton in Labour heading to another meltdown. This column explains the power of blogs to set the political agenda and for supposed party extremists to destabilise their own side. But Labour staff might also want to read Cameron Slater's blogpost, Social media morons of the Labour Party, as he's helpfully gone through Labour MPs Facebook pages and identified various out-of-date statements such as Annette King claiming to still be the party's deputy leader.
* Another commentator calls time on the Maori Party, suggesting the aging party has achieved very little - see Dave Armstrong's Maori Party faces extinction. Meanwhile, the contest for the Maori seats appears to be heating up - see Claire Trevett's Shearer's tilt at Maori seats brings swift rebuff.
* TVNZ and RNZ are in decline according to the ODT, and the 'signs are pointing towards some major changes for state broadcasting in New Zealand' - see: Public broadcasting's future.
* The Government's changes to WOF testing seems to have the support of most newspaper editorials - see, for example, Southland Times' Fit for the road and the Herald's Car warrant of fitness changes show balance.
* The latest must-read opinion pieces about Treaty politics are Elizabeth Rata's Tribalism, democracy incompatible and Paul Moon's Exploding popular myths about the Treaty of Waitangi.
* Finally, the US is currently debating letting women into combat roles in the military, but as Greer Berry points out in We can be proud of military equality, the NZ Defence Force made this decision back in 2000.

And a NYC poster. One of my faves.
And a NYC poster. One of my faves.
Mood: WOOF!
the thing is if you throw a hook, the technology in today's balls only works at 14+ pounds, anything less then that and you can't get a ball that works correctly...they make and sell them but they don't work right.
but if you are just going out to have fun and drink a few beers with friends none of that matters :P
the hook thing, you can make any ball hook...when you throw the ball use a motion with your hand similar to opening up a door knob (or throwing an underhand football spiral)
you don't need a heavy ball for the ball to hook, you need a heavy ball for the pins to all fall down in any consistent fashion, with balls less then 14 pounds you can throw 10 absolutely perfect shots and maybe get lucky if you get 3 strikes out of it.
it's the physics of the situation...your ball deflects off the pins (pins are heavy and very far apart...it doesn't look like it but trust me I've been back there lol) with a light ball even if you do everything right the ball is going to deflect too much for any type of consistently striking shot.
on the bright side, even if you don't throw any strikes and only throw spares you can still throw a 190, spares are more important then strikes....a VERY accurate bowler with a 10-12 pound ball can probably average in the 180's..never gonna get over a 200 average with a light ball though.
Last edited by DavenIII; 03-15-2013 at 04:55 PM.
I always use heavy balls for a lot of pins.
When I only need 1 or 2, I go with the light ball. I always feel like it gives me more accuracy.

[quote user="Neverend"][quote user="bLuereverie"]I think the only "physically freak" thing about Barden was his height.[/quote]
Agreed. The guy has no speed, quickness, or burst. Vastly overrated[/quote]
I fail to see how a mid-rounder who bested Jerry Rice's college production could be over-rated. (by the by, he's also faster than Plax. low 40 of 4.48 vs 4.59). But then again, I never expected him to be the "savior" of the franchise and the only piece missing from a superbowl run.
Unless we're saying he's overrated because he couldn't crack a top 3 that featured two of the 3 best receivers in the team's 87 year history... after a bad ankle injury, in an offense that demands chemistry with not only the QB, but every other member of the offense.
But then I don't remember anyone calling him a bust or overrated when he made tough, physical, possibly game deciding 3rd down catches when Nicks was out.
'Rio will likely be gone this offseason, and Barden will likely step up to he 3rd receiver slot. Lets see what he does when given a legitimate shot.

I'm think my niners can catch up in total "championships" before your g-men catch the niners with lombardi(I think) trophies. History is being written as we speak. At the end of the year we'll find out if your g-men will catch up to the niners with SB wins or the niners go up two again, then three & so on. Go niners!

A trick performed by a well-endowed male where a dollar bill is picked up off of a table or other flat surface entirely with the penis in a grabbing-like motion that resembles the flexibility of an elephant trunk.
Hey, did you see that stripper pick up that dollar off of the stage? He is truly a master of the dollar penis trick!

Stiff treadles benefit greatly from cleaning and OIL. The treadle bases use lots of non bearing pivot points. These need oiled frequently.
A clean and oiled machine is much easier to turn than a dirty gummy machine too.
In this case an ounce of maintenance prevents a gallon of sweat.

The downside of this team being a clutch team is that they rely way too much on their ability to pull out wins when their backs are against the wall. There is no sense of urgency in any game that we don't absolutely "have to have".
We all know, though, that there is going to come a time where they will stumble in a must win game (the simple odds dictate that a team cannot win every "must win": game), and then they'll be SOL because they have left themselves with no room for error.
Just hope the odds don't catch up to us this year . . . . .

The fore end on my .30-06 (Rem 700 SPS) seems to have gradually clamped down over the last three years to where now, at the very end, it grips the barrel very tightly. I'm considering just shaving it back a bit to get the stock off the barrel... any reason not to do this? The SPS is a synthetic stock BTW.
In a great world I'd have the cash to take it in and get it serviced and maybe accurized, but not this year. It occasionally seems to throw a wild round, and yes that's in addition to called yanks. Even off the bipod, maybe 1 in 20 is barely on the paper (normally, prone on the bipod, it's 1 MOA groups on bad days). When new the barrel had a rough spot that took a ton of breaking in... the spot collected "gobs, just gobs of copper" was how a smith who scoped the bore for me characterized it about a year in. I re-broke in the barrel exhaustively and it seemed to have improved.
I'd love to get a new barrel, but hoo that's expensive. Anyway should I shave off a bit inside the tip of the forearm to free up the barrel?

Emma Watson
Posted at 10:40 AM on July 20, 2014
Emma Watson would have been perfect for the role of Ana… Happy enough with Jamie Dornan, except he better be able to act, not like that hot model that replaced Megan Fox for Transformers 3. Even though Dakota Fanning is good-looking and can act, she is not Emma Watson, Emma Watson is very, very hot and to be honest, if they have someone as good-looking as Jamie Dornan, they needed her because yes she can act well but ultimately she is very sexy, very hot and vulnerable. Natatile Portman is very hot and can act as well. And unless Sam Taylor Johnson is a good director, they should have gotten Darren Afronosky (Black Swan, Noah, The Wrestler). Don't get me wrong, Fifty Shades of Grey is a horribly written book from what I've heard and so, I'm sure, are the other two.

I have no problem with the cast selection but I can understand why others might. The reason so many of you are NEGATIVE is because you already have your own pictures painted in your heads! I don't think that anyone have pictured either Christian or Ana the same.
I'm exited to see how the movie will turn out!

Ovie50 shades of Grey is an EXCELLENT EXCELLENT Trilogy. However,they should of cast Taylor Kinney as Christian Grey! I hope they get it right with the next two movies.

Who cares really- I don't know anyone who is happy with casting. Charlie would have been better and I did not want him. Jamie is not masculine sexy enough to be Christian-I probably won't see the film because I don't want to be dissappointed. Ian Somerhalder would have been great as Christian Grey but I am sure it is better for his career not to be involved in the trarinwreck that is Fifty Shades of Grey.

Ditto, couldn't agree more, EPIC FAIL for readers of 50 Shades :(
Having aimed the books at a specific age audience the cast is more for teenagers, Doesnt look like he could control multi million companies let alone pilot even a remote control plane and Anna was an ordinary girl with a battered old car, – like most of us – defiantly not someone who looks down her nose as if she trod in something !!
Could be wrong but nahhhh, don't think so,,
Feeling let down by the author like so many others :((

I agree Jamie is absolutely perfect for the role,and he is a very masculine,bloody gorgous body,face,well everything.Looks good in clothes and without,is very comanding.I mean has anyone who makes these ugly comments about him ever looked at his modelling He is without a doubt SEX ON FIRE

Canadian jazz singer/pianist Diana Krall had an assured if undramatic career until her 2004 album Girl in the Other Room, mostly co-written with new husband Elvis Costello, which included more interesting songs (Tom Waits' Temptation among them). This album - in a cover where she's draped like a sultry dominatrix - pushes further.
Long-time producer Tommy LiPuma is dropped in favour of Costello's old mate T-Bone Burnett, the band includes Costello/Waits guitarist Marc Ribot and Colin Linden on dobro, and the songbook is comprised of lesser-known but timeless songs from the 20s and 30s, along with Doc Pomus' Lonely Avenue (turned into Waits-spooky by the gloomy arrangement) and Wide River To Cross by Nashville's Julie and Buddy Miller.
The jazz (improvisation) has also been reined in, so this persuasive song collection favours country-flavours (the jaunty I'm a Little Mixed Up, a stately Prairie Lullaby, the desertscape Let it Rain), classy ballads (Here Lies Love, Just Like a Butterfly) and old style swing-into-funkiness (There Ain't No Sweet Man). Most are coloured by Ribot's slightly off-kilter guitar.
Her old fans seem to hate this because she's changed, but she'd been there, done that. She'll probably retreat again, but this is kinda cool.
Stars: 3.5/5
Verdict: Another interesting step towards the side of the road.
Buy this album here.

McGovern's Irish ancestors opened the first bar in Mitchell, South Dakota, in the late 1800s. His Norwegian predecessors were teetotalers. McGovern credits his relationship with alcohol to this mixed lineage—his interest is avid, not obsessive. In his student days at Cornell University and elsewhere, when McGovern dabbled in everything from neurochemistry to ancient literature, he knew little about alcohol. It was the late 1960s and early 1970s; other mind-altering substances were in vogue; the California wine revolution had barely begun and Americans were still knocking back all manner of swill.
One summer, during which McGovern was "partly in grad school," he says with the vagueness frequently reserved for the '70s, he and Doris toured the Middle East and Europe, living on a few dollars a day. En route to Jerusalem, they found themselves wandering Germany's Mosel wine region, asking small-town mayors if local vintners needed seasonal pickers. One winemaker, whose arbors dotted the steep slate slopes above the Moselle River, took them on, letting them board in his house.
The first night there, the man of the house kept returning from his cellar with bottle after bottle, McGovern recalls, "but he wouldn't ever show us what year it was. Of course, we didn't know anything about vintage, because we had never really drunk that much wine, and we were from the United States. But he kept bringing up bottle after bottle without telling us, and by the end of the evening, when we were totally drunk—the worst I've ever been, my head going around in circles, lying on the bed feeling like I'm in a vortex—I knew that 1969 was terrible, '67 was good, '59 was superb."
McGovern arose the next morning with a seething hangover and an enduring fascination with wine.
Earning his PhD in Near Eastern archaeology and history from the University of Pennsylvania, he ended up directing a dig in Jordan's Baq'ah Valley for more than 20 years, and became an expert on Bronze and Iron Age pendants and pottery. (He admits he was once guilty of scrubbing ancient vessels clean of all their gunk.) By the 1980s, he had developed an interest in the study of organic materials—his undergraduate degree was in chemistry—including jars containing royal purple, a once-priceless ancient dye the Phoenicians extracted from sea snail glands. The tools of molecular archaeology were swiftly developing, and a smidgen of sample could yield surprising insights about foods, medicines and even perfumes. Perhaps ancient containers were less important than the residues inside them, McGovern and other scholars began to think.
A chemical study in the late 1970s revealed that a 100 B.C. Roman ship wrecked at sea had likely carried wine, but that was about the extent of ancient beverage science until 1988, when a colleague of McGovern's who'd been studying Iran's Godin Tepe site showed him a narrow-necked pottery jar from 3100 B.C. with red stains.
"She thought maybe they were a wine deposit," McGovern remembers. "We were kind of skeptical about that." He was even more dubious "that we'd be able to pick up fingerprint compounds that were preserved enough from 5,000 years ago."
But he figured they should try. He decided tartaric acid was the right marker to look for, "and we started figuring out different tests we could do. Infrared spectrometry. Liquid chromatography. The Feigl spot test....They all showed us that tartaric acid was present," McGovern says.
He published quietly, in an in-house volume, hardly suspecting that he had discovered a new angle on the ancient world. But the 1990 article came to the attention of Robert Mondavi, the California wine tycoon who had stirred some controversy by promoting wine as part of a healthy lifestyle, calling it "the temperate, civilized, sacred, romantic mealtime beverage recommended in the Bible." With McGovern's help, Mondavi organized a lavishly catered academic conference the next year in Napa Valley. Historians, geneticists, linguists, oenologists, archaeologists and viticulture experts from several countries conferred over elaborate dinners, the conversations buoyed by copious drafts of wine. "We were interested in winemaking from all different perspectives," McGovern says. "We wanted to understand the whole process—to figure out how they domesticated the grape, and where did that happen, how do you tend grapes and the horticulture that goes into it." A new discipline was born, which scholars jokingly refer to as drinkology, or dipsology, the study of thirst.
Back at Penn, McGovern soon began rifling through the museum's storage-room catacombs for promising bits of pottery. Forgotten kitchen jars from a Neolithic Iranian village called Hajji Firuz revealed strange yellow stains. McGovern subjected them to his tartaric acid tests; they were positive. He'd happened upon the world's oldest-known grape wine.

Oregon Judicial Department
Many of our documents are in Portable Document Format (PDF) and require the free Adobe Acrobat Reader Software.
The Oregon Judicial Department (OJD) requires that freelance interpreters use an OJD Interpreter Billing Statement for invoicing purposes. Click here to access the Billing Statement in PDF format, or here for a fillable Excel Document.
Code of Professional Responsibility
As an interpreter working for the OJD, you are bound by the "Code of Professional Responsibility for Interpreters in the Oregon Courts." Oregon Statute requires that every person who interprets in Oregon courtrooms be familiar with and comply with the Code. Please read it here:
Required Criminal Background Check and Consent for Personal Information Release
The Oregon Judicial Department (OJD) requires all interpreters pass a criminal background check and submit a Consent for Personal Information Release form.
As a matter of ethics and public trust, and in order to ensure protection and security for the courts, every interpreter who represents the OJD must pass a criminal background check with no barriers to performing the duties of a court interpreter.
Convictions may not necessarily bar one from interpreting. We will review convictions based on:
Any information that is discovered during a criminal history check shall be kept confidential. The OJD will repeat the background check every three years.
Consent for Personal Information Release form: As freelance interpreters, the Consent for Personal Information Release form provides us with your permission to give business contact information to parties who request it, with some limitations. Please read the form carefully. If an interpreter decides not to have their contact information released, they still must return the form declining consent.
Once the background check has been successfully completed, and the Consent for Personal Information Release form turned in, the interpreter is granted "conditionally approved" status, which lets courts know that Court Language Access Services has already done an initial screening of the interpreter.
For more information on how to become a conditionally approved interpreter for the Oregon Courts, please send an email to email@example.com. Please make sure to include your contact information, and to include what language(s) you speak.
If an interpreter is no longer interested in working for the Oregon Judicial Department as a freelance interpreter, they can simply send an email to email@example.com with the words "Remove from mailing list" in the subject line and we will remove their name and information from our mailing list. Questions? Please contact us at 503.731.3283.
Dressing for Court
In keeping with the serious and professional nature of court business, please come to your assignment dressed conservatively. Appropriate attire for women is a dress, a suit, or conservative blouse with a skirt or slacks. Short skirts and low cut or sleeveless dresses or blouses are not appropriate. Appropriate attire for men is a suit, or a jacket or blazer with a dress shirt, tie and slacks. Jeans are not appropriate attire for a courtroom.
Team Interpreting
Interpreters may be scheduled to work in teams of two on longer assignments or assignments with more serious charges. Click here for an article with information on team interpreting that is helpful to review in advance of this type of situation.
The OJD has a non-negotiable, universal cancellation policy for all freelance interpreters that accept assignments.
Cancellation Policy:
When can I expect to be paid?What is the job market like for court interpreters?How do I sign up for direct deposit?What mileage table should I be using to determine mileage from point A to point B?What is the current reimbursable mileage rate?
When can I expect to be paid?
Court Language Access Services strives to pay interpreters in a timely manner. You should receive payment for services within 30 days of us receiving your billing statement. If you have not received payment within the 30 days after we received your billing statement, please contact
What is the job market like for court interpreters?
While demand depends on the language, there isn't enough demand to make court interpreting full-time work for any language (Spanish might be the exception). However, we strongly encourage you to supplement your court interpreting with other types of interpreting, such as attorney office visits, depositions, medical interpreting and school interpreting. Not only do these assignments provide additional income, but they give you practice and experience in interpreting.
How can I sign up for direct deposit?
Freelance interpreters may sign up for Direct Deposit for their payments from the Oregon Judicial Department. Please click here to learn more. Please note that the Oregon Department of Administrative Services (DAS) is the department in charge of the Direct Deposit option, not the Oregon Judicial Department. Further questions or issues with Direct Deposit should be directed to DAS.
What mileage table should I be using to determine mileage from point A to point B?
Freelance interpreters claiming mileage for services rendered in Oregon Courts must use the Oregon Department of Administrative Services (DAS) mileage chart. If the cities you are travelling between are not on the mileage chart, then we ask you to calculate your mileage using Google Maps, city to city only (no addresses or zip codes included). For questions, please contact email@example.com
What is the current reimbursable mileage rate?

A 27-year-old Lake Charles man has been charged with carjacking, city police said.
Deputy Chief Mark Kraus said John Andonovan Vital, 2624 Colfax St., was arrested early Tuesday morning.
"We received a call at approximately 10:28 a.m. Tuesday morning," Kraus said. "The victim said he leaving a business (in Lake Charles) when he was approached by a black male, later identified as Vital, who asked him for a ride and assistance in retrieving some property.
"The victim agreed and allowed Vital into his vehicle. Vital then allegedly lured the victim out of his vehicle and used force to take the victim's keys and vehicle. We sent out a bulletin to neighboring law enforcement agencies on this incident."
Kraus said Vital was picked up about an hour later by the Jeff Davis Parish Sheriff's Office.
Bond was set at $15,000.
A Sulphur man and Lake Charles woman are facing a host of charges after burglarizing a Vinton home in May, authorities said.

Thibodeaux, who was also charged with resisting arrest by flight and possession of burglary tools, was arrested May 28 in Kentucky. He was transported to Calcasieu Parish on June 28 and remained in jail Wednesday on a $7,000 bond.
Mott, who also charged with drug possession, was arrested on May 12. She was released after posting a $7,500 bond.

Volcano Masaya National Park
Make sure to make a visit to Nicaragua's most impressive attraction and outdoor tourist site! There are very few volcanoes in the world where one can simply drive up to the crater edge and look into what the Spaniards declared to be the very "mouth of hell" – and that's exactly what Masaya offers, and a whole lot more! One of the most visibly active volcanoes in the country, Volcano Masaya emits a nearly constant plume of sulfurous gas, smoke, and sometimes ash, visible from as far away as the airport in Managua. From one of its craters, one can sometimes glimpse incandescent rock and magma. A stop at the visitors center (where they'll ask you to park your car facing out "just in case") will help you interpret the geology and ecology of the site, as will the park's impressive nature museum. For the more actively inclined, hiking trails cover a portion of the volcano's slopes.
Mombacho Volcano
The Mombacho Volcano, with its mystical cloud forest which is nestled over much of its side and top areas, is one of the most famous volcanoes in Nicaragua and just 10 km from Granada city. The ride uphill only is an adventure by itself. Whether it's your own car or the truck you're using, the incredible steepness of the volcano guarantees a spectacular ride. You will see coffee plantations and later on the cloud forest next to the single lane road. The views are also spectacular from here. A Visitor Center is located at the "end of the road", and as you'll find lower temperatures up top than down below, make sure to bring a jacket or sweater. The Visitor Center also provides area information, maps, hiking information and a small cafeteria for your convenience.
Canopy Tour
Take a wild Nicaraguan adventure ride to the top of nearby mountain, and once you get there, strap on your harness, put on a helmet and experience the adrenaline rush as you make your way down the mountain and over the forest, passing over a 70-meter wide canyon. Be sure to look for howler monkeys as you sail though the air!
Spanish Colonial City of Granada
The oldest colonial town in Central America, Granada was constructed by the Spanish as a showcase city. In recent years, its glorious homes and structures have received numerous facelifts, and restaurants, cafes and shops have opened by the score. The result? An almost regal beauty. Granada is Nicaragua at its most photogenic – with graceful adobes and elegantly proportioned porticoes drenched in rich tropical colors.

Some really shocking stories! It was shocking to read about them...and it must have been terrible to witness. Very sad. But thanks for sharing anyway. Great writing and lovely photos!
Florence to crazy Manchester
Loading Map
The last two days with Gauss and Eugenia were really good fun. I did another vegetable lasagne cooking session and we spent the night out on the balcony with Gauss and Gio playing cards and laughing ourselves silly. The next night Gauss and Eugenia prepared us a very good tasting and interesting dinner. The main feature of the meal was Broad Beans eaten straight out of the pod with a dip of salt and a bite of cheese. We also got to try some traditional home made sausages and pickled vegetables
We had a quick power nap before getting up at two-thirty AM to catch the bus to the Pisa airport.
When we arrived in England it was such a beautiful sunny warm day we decided to walk a while away from the airport before we started hitch hiking. The first things I noticed about Leeds was the rubbish everywhere and the masses of daffodils growing wild and in gardens. Another thing I noticed was how bright green it was. We walked for about three hours through some beautiful countryside and wealthy looking suburbs. It was exactly what I imagined England would look like – just like in the English horse riding magazines I used to read, wishing I had such lovely open countryside to ride through.
We found a spot to hitch hike and it wasn't long before a friendly man with tattoos and half a finger missing picked us up and dropped us out of his way
It wasn't too long before a tow-truck driver picked us up. He didn't say much, just drove along listening to 'teeny bopper' R'n'B. He dropped us at a place were we had the shortest wait – just outside a BMW shop a man with a bomb of a car picked us up. He dropped us at a motorway entry where we had no luck until we walked up to a petrol station and asked a man for a lift. Very fortunately he was going almost exactly where we wanted to go and was happy to give us a lift.
We found where we were staying, with Richard, and old housemate of mine from back in the good old North Melbourne days with no trouble at all. It was a long and narrow house in a very nice, wealthier suburb of Manchester. It all looked exactly like some reality television show. Naturally, being a Saturday, Richard was out cycling so his housemate Steve let us in
We walked up and down the street and found some deliciously battered and deep-fried fish and chips before heading back to Richards. It was really great to see Richard again; when we lived at North Melbourne it was such a circus. It was nice to be back in that again and remember all the funny things we used to joke and carry on about, like 'Particle Schwarms,' (know to most as swarms).
In those few days… we ate a lot of condensed milk, almost every meal I think. Richard has a big stash of it in his fridge. We ate masses of pasta and bread and cheese and tomato pasta sauce too. We laughed a lot. We went to an art museum and the very nice local pub. We watched a movie or two but not before Felix pulled the telly apart to try to fix the inbuilt DVD drive, the solution ended up being to cut a hole in the side of the telly to wind the DVD out by hand.
Felix and I spent an afternoon in Platt Fields Gardens watching the strange people of Manchester pass by and reading the new books we bought in a second-hand shop
The second feral human I saw that completely amazed me was in McDonalds today, we were using the free internet there to figure out what to do after our very disappointing hitch hiking. A girl with quite a walking disability was coming down the stairs, every step was an effort and it looked like it was taking a lot of energy. The cleaning lady had placed a sign and two bollards at the bottom of the stairs to close the upstairs for cleaning. So this girl got to the bottom of the stairs and it took her ages to get the bollard out of the way so she could get to her walking frame. Just as she was about to step into her walking frame some guy shoved past her and pushed the bollard back into her way
My feelings have really been hurt by the large number of very unpleasant people here; I really thought the people would be nicer and a bit less feral. We have encountered some really lovely people, Richard's housemates were some of those and a waiter in a fish and chip shop had very nice manners and looked like a good guy, but most of the young people we've seen and heard are rough looking, swearing, filthy looking people. Every second girl walking around Manchester is a scraggy looking tart with a baby (Disclaimer – Floss's opinion). We saw a man and a woman arguing over what sounded like his threats to kill her. In the same McDonalds as before a homeless man who could hardly speak was refused a glass of water. At night the city is practically locked up like a prison. Every shop has bars and roller doors covering every window and door and from the stories we've been told it seems if you leave your car unlocked for five minutes everything will be gone. I think the reason it upsets me is because society is deteriorating into a filthy squabble
So we have booked a bus to Aberdeen now, I really didn't like the thought of another day on the side of the road. And to not end on such a nasty note with all that slagging Manchester, I must say it is a pretty place. The countryside we walked through on our first day here was very picturesque, the yellow daffodils growing everywhere are so nice and the grass is so green. And staying with Richard was a pleasure. His hospitality was wonderful, he made us feel right us home, not in the conventional way, by being friendly, but by saying we MUST make ourselves at home and eat and wash and relax. He was insistent! Richard is someone I would always be happy to share a house with, I hope there is a time one day when it can happen again (and Felix could not agree more).
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
Golly, you did seem to have a strikingly good patch in Italy, Floss. Nice to hear. And I think anyone would be annoyed after such a long stint of hitchhiker fatigue...
Pretty interesting to hear your impressions of Manchester folk - I'm curious: Felix, do you share these impressions, if possibly worded differently? :-) Really interesting, I wonder how much, if anything, it has to do with the current economic downturn? Although isn't Germany doing pretty badly after the GFC (I definitely don't remember you commenting on German youth in such a way!) Would be interested to hear more of your impressions on Skype sometime.

Great idea.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Great idea.
Very nice. I need better ruler storage and this is a great idea!
Kathleen, a lass with a bit of the Irish in her blood and a whole lot of Irish in her heart
Wow thats nice
Sweet Dreams come from under Cozy Quilts made with love.
Life is short, take time to enjoy it. Play with your kids and g-kids,
and do what you can for others.
Very cool organizer for your cutting table, you not only organized the rulers but all that little stuff that wanders around on your table.
Retired & enjoying life
Nice design. I used an office file folder organizer that was higher in the back than the front and it hold all my rulers in a small space to the left of my cutting area on the table...a previously unused space/mess. Glad you could wrangle yours into such a neat and tidy contraption.......good going...
You did a great job and idea of putting trays in the front is thoughtful.
Lizzy in La.
You are an awesome designer!
I too have a gazillion rulers and came up with a solution to organize them... my friend's hubby made me a 24" x 16" peg board to hang on my wall. Many rulers have large holes and hang just fine on the pegboard hooks. For the ones that have small holes, I make thread "loops" that will hang on the hooks. I also like to use the large black binder clips. They are strong enough to grip the rulers securely, and then the top part can hang on the pegboard hooks. I also use the binder clip method for hanging up my quilting stencils.
How clever you are. I don't think I could do that. That's a lot of work. You are amazing!!!!

Apocalypse preschool: Developing a survival-based curriculum
In child development, the time between infancy and kindergarten is one of the most important. During this time, children learn the basics, like the alphabet and numbers.

I think it would be nice to have a particular place that I could ask questions like do bees work crepe myrtle? What can I do about my failing peach trees? Can I plant this or that and where do you recomened me planting it? Can anyone tell me what kind of plant/ bird/ insect this is? etc. I would like some other opions on this thanks.

this is the 1 i got and i love it.
SA58 FAL Standard Rifle, .308 Cal. - SA58STD-D S Arms
Well PO2 "Ollie" for the most part what has been said here is mostly true but an update to the thread may be in order.
True DSA is considered "THE" only legit game in town and "THE" BEST FAL, but they aren't what they used to be for whatever reason.
DSarms has had CS issues and some of their once famous QC has been lacking in some of their recent recvrs, do some research and you'll find the answers to their recent dip in quality and service.
That being said they are far and away "THE BEST" still!
As it relates to Century all I can say is that their QC has gone up on their most recent"crappy recvrs" (emphasis is mine as the newer recvrs are above just decent!), I have 2 that where built using them and had ZERO issues, I used a very well known pro builder and he informed me when I gave him the recvrs that "these are some damn good recvrs!" and that they went together without issue.
As I have no thoughts on selling my Fals I am quite content with my Century recvr built Fals.
Also as a side note 1 of my Century recvr built Fals outshoots my DSA Fal easily, no not easily VERY EASILY!
so take that into consideration also.
Lastly I have no experience with Enterprise but I do have a Coonan and it is very nice indeed but I have not been able to take it out and shoot yet, but it is a beautiful recvr and the rifle is very well put together and looks awesome.
ALL of my Fals are built using Imbel kits except of course the DSA.....ymmv
good luck young "salt"!
I have a CAI that they built on a very early low serial number IMBEL receiver. To date I have had zero issues with it. It will even eat crappy Indian surplus ammo. :fal:
DSA, well worth the extra $ and wait, retains value much better, runs great from start, built several and never had any fit or function issues, Imbel is just as good just will not count as 922r part, never built on imbel but have talked to many that have and they agree, you will pay more for an Imbel.
In my opinion DSA is the best way to go, good luck, youll really like your FAL I garuntee, it wont be your last.
Also to the best of my knowledge DSA ans Imbel are the only forged receivers available. Personally Im a little wary of putting the kind of pressure made from .308 on to a cast receiver, I know that many cast receivers have help an functioned fine for many rounds, just my opinion
I'm late to the party, but if, as the OP says - his 1st/only FAL; then shop the boards for a TRUE pre-ban Brazilian IMBEL SAR-48, ARMCORP DGFM Rosario Argentine, or break the bank and get a Joe Poyer Aussie or a true FN.
Folks spend more than that on entertainment systems that depreciate like rocks.
No 922 crap, real-deal guns and real-deal parts. Bazilian SAR and Argentine guns are licensed FNs, only way to get more unique is with a Poyers Oz-gun.
never mind,(deleted post) i would only build one.
PS: i don't know anyone that only owns 1 FAL. Anyone here only own 1 FAL?
That would be me, sgt. But mine is better than all the others so why get another?(smirk)! But seriuosly, I think if the petty officer could find one with the Imbel rec that would be tops. Thats the extent of my experiance with the FAL,but its been a good experiance!
I would LOVE to have another but they have become rather pricey. I bought the imbel kit years ago from Tapco when they sold kits to the general public. I think I gave $98.00 for it. Another $250-$300 for the imbel rec.Damn Ak builds take up my spare change.Now I'm building another AR. nfafan said it best-Somany guns,so little money...Can I still post here with only one?


text: Okay guys, I searched back 5 pages of threads and didn't find anything on this... I've got a Standard Cab Truck, and I'm wanting to install some form of Subwoofer Setup in the vehicle to aid in my listening pleasures! I've got a single 12" Audiobahn DVC 700watt subwoofer, and a single 12" box that it's mounted in. But it's still too large to fit between my center console and the rear of the cabin. I know that JL makes a "Stealth Box" with like a 10" or 12" sub that replaces the jump seat portion of the center console (or so I think) - but it's like over $500 (not reasonable, IMO). Wanted to see if anyone here has anything in a Standard Cab. If so, what? Pics? Ideas? Links? Dimensions? Thanks in advance! -Jo$h


text: Humm I need to check out some nursing homes around here.As for material think of used clothing. I watch those storage wars and they throw allot of those cloths away. If they don't smell bad or are not moldy they could be washed and cut into squares. Great way to recycle what would go to waste. Yard sales and Goodwill ect. You would be amazed how much material comes out of a 1-2 or 3X shirt. I saw a cross pattern that would be easy if I can find it. Just squares sewed together would be welcome I'm sure. When you have nothing, anything is welcome!

|Ladies Half Price
Luis shoots one of Bulgarin's Men.
|The Ballad of Gay Tony
|Gay Tony
|Gracie Ancelotti
|Charge Island
Ladies Half Price is a mission in GTA IV DLC The Ballad of Gay Tony. It is given by Gay Tony to Luis Fernando Lopez.
Old Man Ancelotti has ordered Gay Tony and Luis to get back his daughter, or he'll have them both killed. Luis dislikes the idea, but Tony has arranged a meet with the kidnappers of Gracie, to give them the diamonds for her safe return.
This mission is incredibly easy, with most of the important parts within the cutscenes rather than the actual gameplay. Once the opening cutscene ends, get into Tony's Schafter and drive to the back of Pier 45. There, get into the waiting boat and head over to the pink marker at the Charge Island Waste Management center. Once you float into the pink marker, another cutscene plays.
Luis and Tony meet up with kidnappers, along with a bound-and-gagged Gracie. That's right, it's Niko and Packie. The scene follows out exactly the way it does in Grand Theft Auto IV; after a few tense moments, Tony drops the diamonds in between them and Niko, in which Packie allows Gracie to walk over to Tony. As Luis, Tony, and Gracie turn to leave, Ray Bulgarin and his men show up to take back the diamonds he feels was rightfully his. As Niko and Packie turn to fight them, Luis, Tony, and Gracie run for the boat. Luis shoots one goon who goes after them, but one manages to hop on the back of them boat as they make their getaway.
Back in control, you must shake the goon off the back of the boat by violently shaking the boat left and right until he lets go. Once he's off, Gracie will order Luis go back and kill Niko and Packie, to which Luis refuses. As Gracie begins to shout and harass Luis, he then punches her out cold. Head back to the pier to finish the mission.
Shortly afterward (likely before Luis is even able to leave Pier 45), Tony calls to inform him that the city has closed down all the clubs (this is foreshadowed by an earlier Weazel News bulletin). Shortly after that, Rocco calls Luis, requesting a meeting, which unlocks the next mission, Party's Over.
Secondary objectives
|Target score
|Time taken to complete the mission.
|Hanger On Time
|Time in which the Russian mobster was hanging on the back of the boat.
External Link
- This mission appears as Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend from Niko's and Patrick's point of view.
- Luis has a strange, deep accent during the island cutscene because they reused the voices from the original game and back then, they did not have a specific voice actor for Luis.
- Like all of Niko's appearances in both DLC's, his hair appears to be much darker than it is in the main game.
- Bulgarin's interruption was not explained during GTA IV, but it was made clear that a rough outline of Luis' story and his working with Bulgarin was planned from the start. In GTA IV, Bulgarin mentions how "the faggot and his Dominican bitch" referring to Gay Tony and Luis respectively, stole his diamonds. Were Bulgarin was to have found out that Luis and Niko (both of them his enemies) were meeting, he could have had the opportunity to try and kill them both in the same place.
- Both Niko and Luis knock Gracie unconscious to shut her up.
- After shaking the pursuer off the boat, the player can drive back to the dock and kill Niko and Packie. However, they both have a huge amount of health and will attack you if you attack them.
- An easier way to shake the Mafia Member off the boat is to stop the boat, press the exit vehicle button, and shoot the Mafia member. He will fall off and you can continue the mission with no penalty.
- Like in the original GTA IV, Packie uses an AK-47 in this mission, you will notice this if you go back to try and kill Niko and Packie, Niko uses a Carbine Rifle.
- For some reason, Bulgarin appears to be driving a different, white-colored car in this mission, he drove a black/brown Marbelle in the original cutscene.
- If you are killed by Niko, you can sometimes see him pull out his cellphone and make a call, wait a few seconds, and hang up. No voices can be heard. This may possibly be a double mission fail easter egg, but it is more likely a small glitch.
- In GTA IV Niko and Packie ride a dark green LX2007 Vincent, while in this mission it appears to be colored black.
- This is the last time Niko and Luis will cross paths.
- If the player drives the boat fast enough to get back to the pier, Luis won't knock out Gracie. In the final cutscene, Gracie will appear fine but Tony will still comment about Luis hitting Gracie.

I got mine a couple weeks ago and love it too! what i love the most is the battery hook up, you just pop it in and ur done!!
Thanks guys, glad you like them. Just wait until I get the TF and the new FP toppers done...
I'm really excited to see what you come up with for the TF toppers! Could be the most accurate set up yet!
That is what I am going for, hopefully everyone will like them. I am making them very easy to hook up; no soldering required.
No soldering required? Very nice! I had pretty much accepted that would need to happen. At least to wire up the microswitch anyways...
It's going to be pretty sweet when it's finished. I'm just waiting for the rest of the parts to come in before I'm ready to start the new thread.
Well I'm definitely excited now!

Navigating PW: Help for newbies and lurkers please read
First of all, let me welcome you to PW :-)) Whether you have "outed" yourself or not we are glad to have you here and exicted about your wedding planning! I just wanted to share some useful tools on PW with you which are FAQ's asked by most who are new and unfamiliar on how to navigate the PW site. I hope that this will help make it easier for you to navigate through PW.
1) Project wedding (PW) acronyms: If you have been on the boards you have probably noticed some of the shorthand names we use on here, example: FMIL, FH, DH, B-PICS, KWIM, GTK, STD etc. No sweat, there is a dictionary on here that explains all of these acronyms. This can be found here to the right on the help section==>
2) Have a question about general wedding related stuff? No worries, no question is a "silly" question. Dont be afraid to ask on the boards, However if you are asking, chances are it may have already been asked on the forum OR there is an article already about it. For example- many of us want to know about how to budget OR candy buffet etc. There is the PW WIKI which is an awesome resource with tons and tons of information from ex brides, experts and vendors who have been through the process before. If you dont find answers here by all means ask on the forums.
Another PW tool is the search function (located on the top right hand corner). Lets say you are looking for inspiration for a green & red wedding, You can search the forums, bios, photos and groups. Results from a search can reaveal such useful information that may surprise you.
3) Community Rules/Guidelines: As a newbie or lurker, please take some time to read the rules for posting online. This helps to keep this place cordial and respectful to all.
4) Do you have an awesome idea or question? You can PM any of the PW hostesses with a question or idea that can make PW better and we will pass it on to the right person! PW hostesses are a great resource for information. If we dont know something, we will point you in the right direction.
5) Ever wondered who is updating their bio or whats on the boards or recent news? Use the whats new feature. This is located on the MORE botton located on the top panel.
6) What deals/Sales are available here? This is one of the latest awesome feature of PW that i love. The classifieds/deals sections are organized by FS/Wanted posts on dresses, decor, diy etc. If you are a budget bride or just looking for some deals to save $$$ this should be your favorite place to start looking.
