©2004 Jeffrey Archer; (P)2009 Macmillan Audio
"Kane & Abel - 30 years later"
Interesting how our perceptions change over the years. I first read Kand & Abel about 30 years ago and found it a fast moving narration of two powerful, competitive men. However, just havng finished it on audible, i find it a very sad story of two people neither accepting the opportunity to understand the other. Interesting how differently a novel can read to a 65 year old vs. a 35 year old.
"Another great one ...."
It seems lately that I just couldn't find an audiobook that grabbed me and wouldn't let go. Everything seemed "all the same". I was beginning to get quite frustrated. I decided to go back into my library and maybe listen to one of the hundreds of audios I've downloaded in the past 2 years. I came upon one my my favorite authors, Jeffrey Archer, so I clicked his name and it brought me to his list of books, most of which I've listened to. So glad I did! He once again, didnt fail to give me something I could sink my teeth into. It was COMPLETELY enjoyable to listen to. Somewhere right between "cant press stop" and "wow, what a great story......looking forward to the next chapter". Archer's tale is one of two men, born at the same time (early1920's) but worlds apart physically, emotionally, and financially. Yet, their differences were only one facet of this great story. The struggles they both experienced in life to reach their goals had one common thread. They both had grit and integrity. Their experiences somewhat mirrored each other yet so differently that it made for an extraordinary story line. So well written and so easy to listen to, yet, not one that puts you to sleep. The author did a fabulous job of entwining these men's lives in and out throughout the story, it gave it that "Oh my gosh......how ironic" feeling. Often it was like I was above, peeking down on them and watching their lives unfold. Please do yourself a favor and make time for this one. I expect you'll enjoy it as much as I did.
"Love Jeffrey Archer"
Most of the time I find books by the same author to be too similiar and I lose interest. I listened to Prisoner of Birth and enjoyed so much I purchased this book. This book was very interesting and I had a hard time putting it down. Very few books have me so involved that I couldn't wait to read the ending. The narration was well done. Characters well written This is a good listen
"A solid choice that many will enjoy"
My second book by Archer and equally enjoyable. The writing absorbs you with interesting characters within a well structured plot. THe narration was good, not great. The voices were well done, only the non-dialogue portions were narrated somewhat slowly. Would highly recommend to anyone, an easy 5 star choice. Looking forward to my next Archer book.
I'm a mom of 2 teenage boys, work full-time for a family business. I am fairly new to audible and I LOVE it! It gives my eyes a rest!
"extremely moving"
Absolutely! I had read this book years ago, but it seemed new to me having it "read" to me. It keeps your attention from beginning to end and I did not want it to end.
It is amazing how the characters ended up connecting. I love how the main characters brought themselves up to such a level of success.
no I haven't listened to him before.
William Kane because he was so ambitious and seemed to have a good heart (for the most part).
When it ended, I was sobbing....it was SO touching, yet tragic. My teenage son, thought I was CRAZY! but this book was so awesome I wanted more!
"Kept me listening!"
I found this book when I looked into who the authour was of his new book: The Clifton Chronicles. Kane and Abel has an intriguing plot, likeable characters with an unknown future..all this kept me waiting for my next day at work so I could listen again on the commute. The ending was appropriate, but still somehow disappointing...or was I just sorry the story ended.I will now look for more Jeffrey Archer books. I don't know why I took so long to find him.
I'm a retired secondary social studies teacher and educational administrator living in Buffalo, NY. I love to read through audiobooks.
"Archer's writing grabs you!"
The narrator was exceptional and believeable.
I think Abel Rosnovsky was the most interesting character owing to the circumstances of his birth and the ways he was saved by folks in his life.
I would dine with Abel for sure at the Baron in Warsaw!
Well worth my time. Archer can sure write a good yarn!
"Very interesting"
I enjoyed the history very much. The ending was a bit dissappointing, but the first 75% of the book was worth it.
Follow me on Goodreads too!
"Dependably Entertaining"
I think I read this book in the 80s but I am not sure. Thankfully I have a lousy memory for these kinds of things so I was not wasting my time reading it again, plus it didn't seem familiar… still, I can't shake the feeling this was a re read.
This is the 5th Archer book I've read and I really enjoy them, the stories are right up my alley.
It's impossible to describe the plots in one sentence; they're sweeping sagas / generational family dramas… I just eat it all up. So easy to get swept up in the frenzy of back stabbing power wars in great families. (Perhaps this is also why I was a huge Dallas & Dynasty fan in the 80s!! Ha!)
I'll be reading more Archer books for sure, along with Ken Follett and Edward Rutherfurd they are dependably entertaining reads.
"Kane & Abel"
Jeffrey Archer, an author who knows how to put it all down. Couldn't say enough about the experience of it all. I cried....Love it A classic

The Destination
Ottawa's Gothic government buildings and Victorian homes speak to the city's history, but the soul of Canada's capital is as young as it is hip. A vibrant arts scene is supported by a slew of world-class art museums, and epicureans can find new flavors inside any of the city's many restaurants. The most enchanting spot is arguably Parliament Hill, which, when viewed from the river, looks like the prototype for a fairy-tale castle on a hill. Boating on Rideau Canal is also popular, as is hiking in Gatineau Park, and a number of summer festivals—including the magnificent Canadian Tulip Festival—offer fun for the whole family.
The Digs
The eco-friendly Delta Ottawa City Centre, situated within walking distance of virtually all the city has to offer (from the National Gallery of Canada to the ByWard Market to the Parliament buildings), features a fitness facility, a pool, and a sauna. And come mealtime, you'll have excellent food at the on-site LIFT, a stylish restaurant and bar whose sleek furnishings are complemented by a modern menu of comfort food-meets-farm-to-fork cuisine.

Many of the rooms also feature stellar views of the city, owing to the hotel's high-rise construction and the rooms' floor-to-ceiling windows.

Actor Rico Rodriguez talks about his guest role on R.L. Stine's The Haunting Hour: The Series
Actor Rico Rodriguez, 14, regularly makes people laugh as "Manny" on the hit comedy Modern Family. Now, Rico is spooking kids on R.L. Stine's The Haunting Hour: The Series, a TV show that tells frightening tales for kids. Just in time for Halloween, Rico is guest starring on a new episode called "The Weeping Woman," airing October 27, 2012, at 6pm Eastern Time on The Hub TV Network. The episode is based on a Mexican folk tale called "La Llorona," which means "The Weeping Woman." TFK spoke to Rico about the spooky show. Read the Q&A below, and scroll down to watch an exclusive clip.
In "The Weeping Woman," you are playing a character named Chi. What is he up to in this episode?
Basically, I'm spending the night at my friend's house and strange things start happening. We end up trying to escape from la lorona because I tell the story about her and she actually comes. It's crazy. The lady who played la lorona scared me twice just walking [around]. I knew [the actress] and she was so nice, but it was just weird seeing her in that make-up and the long, white dress. That was weird.
You normally spend your time on the set of a comedy show. What was it like to film a scary episode?
It was really fun. I don't like scary movies but I do love The Haunting Hour. It's like the more relaxed version of a scary movie, yet it still brings that suspense and scariness to it. It was really fun being able to do something different than I do on Modern Family. I got to experience the little things they do [to make the show scary, like] the flickering of the lights. It's very cool.
Chi stays as a guest in a house that appears haunted. Have you ever stayed somewhere that seemed haunted?
Our old house in Texas used to be along an Indian trail that led to San Antonio. It's called Old Spanish Trail and that's where the Indians used to pass by. [The house is on] 15 acres of land and includes a pond where Indians used to sleep for the night and take baths. My dad says that every now and then he found arrowheads in the dirt. And heard drum beats of the Indians and howling.
Goosebumps author R.L. Stine created the series. Are you a fan of his work?
Yes, my whole family has always been a fan of R.L. Stine, especially my sister. She's a huge fan. She had all the books—his Goosebumps series—and so that's how I grew up knowing his books as well. When they offered [the role to] me, I was like "Oh yes, I loved Goosebumps."
You mentioned you don't really like scary movies. What's the scariest movie you've ever seen?
I would have to say Nightmare on Elm Street, the first one. I don't know why I watch them, but I do, and I get scared. It's not like I get nightmares, it's just that I'm lying down in my bed, just looking around, and then I start imagining things. [The movies are] freaky, but I watch them anyway!
The episode is airing just in time for Halloween. Do you have a costume planned for this year?
I think I'm going to try to go old Hollywood, like one of the Three Stooges [or] I may go as Charlie Chaplin.
Other than the episode that you starred in, do you have a favorite Haunting Hour episode?
Yeah, I like the very first one with Bailee Madison [called "Scarecrow"] and then another one called "Game Over" with Calum Worthy. The show is great.
Do you have a favorite Halloween candy?
I'd have to say maybe Sour Patch Kids, cause I like sour candy.
You regularly star on Modern Family. How do you balance schoolwork with working on a TV show set?
We have a teacher because we have our own schoolroom on our set. We have to do three hours of school a day while we are working. Like today, I have a table read at 1pm, so I have to come in [early] to do school with my teacher. You have to keep up your grades to keep acting. That's definitely a main part of doing this job.
Your sister, Raini Rodriguez, is an actress on Disney Channel's Austin & Ally. Do you think you will ever act together?
I think eventually one day we will. Maybe I'll guest star on her show, or she'll guest star on Modern Family!
What kind of fun do you have with your family?
We do everything together. My sister and I like to play board games, my mom and I watch TV together—we like to watch competition shows—and my dad, we bought a car and fixed it, so that's our little project.
Are there any other projects you are working on?
I have a book coming out on November 6. It's called Real Life Lessons… So Far. It's my life lessons of staying humble and booking Modern Family and how it feels being on Modern Family and doing school. It's all different things from my point of view. It's a really cool book.
Can you share with our readers a few fun facts about yourself?
I'm a big fan of magic. It's so much fun. It's one of my favorite hobbies. I love to write scripts and direct. At the moment, we are writing a little movie for the kids on Modern Family. I think it's going to be a zombie movie. And I also like to dance.

I joined GHS during the financial crisis of 2007 when my work hours were cut back significantly and I could not meet my financial obligations. I signed up to have $56000 credit card debt paid in 30 months which was accomplished by them. While it's true that credit card companies can sue you and, of course, GHS tells you quite often they do not offer legal services, I was quite pleased with them. The one credit card that did take me to court, I was allowed to use GHS as my arbitrator. In Oregon, these types of claims are automatically referred to arbitration.
While I did have to file my response with the court and indeed had to go to court, I found the court more than willing to pressure the credit card company to 'work' with me. You need to remember, it was THE CREDIT CARD company that ultimately sued me, GHS did arbitrate this bill to 66% of what my original balance. Remember it is the credit card company that is suing you not GHS. You are going to have to go to court and tell the judge "I know I owe these bills, I have retained a company to help me negotiate but it is the credit card company that isn't participating." I think the courts are tired of the credit card companies too. So what have I learned from all this.
The banks are not looking out for your interest. The government is not looking out for your interest. In fact, unmentioned by anyone is that you have to pay taxes on the forgiven debt. The only one who can look out for you is you. In the end, I am grateful for GHS. They helped me get back on my feet and take more responsibility for my finances. As for the foreigners working for them, find me a company that doesn't. Get the name of your representative and keep calling until you get him. You think dealing with the credit card company is any better. I laugh at your naivety.
DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA -- I have been a victim of this so called program. They took over three grand from my account, basically did nothing, by the time I realized that this program was not going to work & cancelled my account it was too late! They had the nerve to send me a letter back stating they will refund me $194?? I mean let's be fair here, I understand, that they did an account set up, but let's get real, being charged $2880.00 for account set up?? After calling them (which they hung up on me twice) numerous times, and speaking to a so called refunds supervisor, at this point got no resolve from GHS Solutions. I am hoping someone out there can help me, or has been through this before.
I am in serious debt, now I am out $3000, which I could have used for an attorney to help me out with this! I see that GHS Solutions has a lot of complaints online, and over 44 complaints with the Better Business Bureau, down in Delray Beach Florida. I would like to talk to other victims of GHS Solutions shady program, maybe in numbers we can get a resolve. After further research, I have found a article on GHS Solutions, pertaining to a lawsuit That Global Client Solutions and Rocky Mountain Bank (Both are on my statements as handling the money). None of the companies are registered with the Kansas state banking commissioner as a legal credit services organization!
DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA -- GHS promised after signing docs via internet, getting account access for payments, and his receiving my most current bills, I could "Relax". My bills were current up to Feb.09, but recession, layoff, and med. bills after losing insurance... not to mention putting our son through the police academy, we needed a new plan. To avoid bankruptcy and not wanting to screw over our lenders, we liked what GHS had to say. DUMB! Oh, and he said nothing would go to collections. 6 months later, ring, ring! Guess who? No one had been called or paid a dime.
Our money was socked away in their bank drawing interest. I cancelled and asked for a full refund for services of "O" being rendered. They said I can get less than half. Been a month and two weeks... nada. I've got a case with FLA's BBB, contacted Consumer Affairs, TASC, USOBA, The Attorney General in CA and FLA. Waiting for responses. The person in charge of GHS said the recorded tapes showed I was lying. But au contrere, those recordings would show THEIR guilt and my honesty. She also said she could send me a "written" transcript of the tapes. Ha! I said,"Sure, humor me!".
Well, she hasn't sent them yet. And why doesn't she send them to the BBB as proof?, Oh, because she's a liar. So, that's my case. Don't get screwed by GHS like I did and many others. They have a rating withe BBB alright. A BIG fat "F"! Check it out for yourself! Thanks for letting me rant!
DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA -- I had contacted GHS Solutions hoping that they would assist me in settling my debt. Based on their calculations they would withdraw $485.88 from my checking account on a monthly basis. The agreement that was sent to me states that the first month's withdrawal of $485.88 would include ALL bank fees. However after two withdrawals I informed them that I am no longer interested in their services. Seeing that they had done nothing for me I had expected in all good faith that at least some of my money would be refunded to me.
I contacted the Compliance Director who informed me that I should sign a letter cancelling their services and she would examine my account and refund whatever was owed to me. However after I signed the cancellation note that was sent to me she informed me that there was no non-compliance issue so she could not help me. I have been requesting an original agreement which to date I cannot get as this would show that they are ripping me off. I also contacted TASC (The Association of Settlement Companies) which I thought was supposed to protect the consumer.
] However they informed me that they cannot force GHS Solutions to give me back a refund they can only forward my emails and request that they respond to me. It is sad that consumers are always left out in the cold when it comes to these vultures. It is also sad that the companies that are supposed to force these vultures to act in good faith are always ineffective.

Q.1 Can we use TDR (time domain reflectometry) to DETECT (pre-locate) DEFECTS (breakage of Shield/Screen wires of XLPE Cables and/or grounds through weak jacket) for Cable Shield?
NOTE: It is already established that the screen wires/shields are defective. The applied voltage in the Shield wires/Screen of the XLPE cable did not rise, even when the far end (other end) of the shield was open. Therefore, it is certain that shield wires are somewhere partially and/or completely broken AND GROUNDED. Please note that the likelihood of ingression of moisture in the shield wires and possibility of being corroded is also high. However, it is not sure that what is the extent of damage and at how manay places is the screen/schield wires affected.
CAN WE USE TDR IN THE ABOVE MENTIONED CASE TO ASSESS THE GENERAL HEALTH OF THE SCREEN, by injecting pulse in the screen and grounding both ends of the conductor, simultaneously connecting the ground wire of the test equipment with the conductor at the testing end.
What will be the difference (if any) IF Conductor is OPEN from both ends AND low voltage high rise time pulse is injected in the screen/shield wires with other end of the screen open while using substation ground for test equipment grounding and grounding of the shield wire of test lead.

Three bottles of perhaps the most famous and most travelled Scotch whisky are a step closer to returning to their icy home.
The 100-year-old whisky, from the supplies of one of the heroic Antarctic expeditions of the early 20th century, were ceremoniously handed back on Saturday night at New Zealand's Scott Base.
Five crates of spirits were donated to Ernest Shackleton's British Antarctic Expedition between 1907 and 1910, which narrowly failed to reach the South Pole.
The three cases of whisky and two of brandy, the bottles encased in ice, were discovered three years ago by conservators trying to preserve Shackleton's hut at Cape Royds, 100 years after he made his base there in 1908.
Three bottles were sent back to the distillers, Whyte and Mackay, in Scotland, where they were analysed and the whisky recreated.
A needle was used to pierce the cork to withdraw a small sample from the original bottles. The cork then sealed itself and the bottles were restored.
The artefacts program manager for the Antarctic Heritage Trust, Lizzie Meek, who couldn't attend the ceremony at Scott Base because she was snowed in at Cape Evans, joined the ceremony via radio.
She said the find had been amazing and it was extremely pleasing to see the bottles returned after a long journey.
It was enjoyable to work with an artefact that had such a pleasant aroma, compared with most other items in the hut, she said. The bottles were still in good condition.
Meek said there was no way the treasure would be sampled.
Was it the good stuff? "The information we had from Whyte and Mackay was that it was pretty good," Meek said.

Emotions were flowing in the home dugout on a rainy Saturday afternoon. It still wasn't enough to keep the Twins from falling 5-1 to the surging Cleveland Indians.
Right-hander Cole De Vries, pitching for the memory of his 90-year-old grandfather, retired the first 11 batters of the game. Seven of them came by strikeout, tying his career-high.
"I know he would have done everything in his power to watch me pitch one more time," the pitcher said of Lenard De Vries, who suffered a fatal stroke one week earlier and will be buried Monday in the Twin Cities.
The tribute faded after a single by Jason Kipnis, a two-run homer by Carlos Santana and three more runs in the Cleveland fifth, highlighted by a blown tag call at home plate.
De Vries was gone after five innings.
"I don't know if the air went out of his sails or what," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said.
That description fits a Twins team that has gone 5-19 since opening September with three straight wins. The Twins have reached 95 losses for the season with one game remaining, which means Gardenhire, with 998 career wins, will fall just short of a milestone that seemed virtually assured as recently as late August.
"It's pretty flustering," Gardenhire said. "Frustrating and flustering. We have not played good, and it's not been a lot of fun."
Having lost between 95 and 99 games the past three seasons, the Twins have now exceeded their total of 95-loss seasons in their first 50 seasons in the Twin Cities. They lost 97 games in 1999 under Tom Kelly and 102 in 1982 under Billy Gardner.
You have to go back to 1955-57, when they were the Washington Senators, to find three consecutive seasons of 95-plus losses for this franchise.
Outscored by a whopping 87 runs over these past 24 games, the Twins now face the prospect of watching a third team in as many series celebrate a postseason berth at their expense.
The fact that Gardenhire is without a contract beyond this year and could soon leave the only employer he's known since 1987 only makes this late-season collapse more shameful.
At least he knows his players are trying.
"They were pushing pretty hard to try to win a ballgame here," he said. "I had more than one of them come up and apologize to me. I don't need that. I know what they're giving me; they're giving me a lot. I appreciate the efforts."
He shook his head, something that has become a near-daily postgame occurrence as he waits to learn his managerial fate, likely on Monday.
With franchise catcher Joe Mauer sidelined by a concussion for the final 39 games and prospective free agent Justin Morneau shipped off to Pittsburgh at the close of August, the Twins are left with a paucity of weapons and experience.
"They don't have to apologize for anything," Gardenhire said of his collection of rookies and journeymen. "They come to play. We just weren't good enough this year."
All five runs against De Vries came with two outs, pushing the Twins' majors-leading total to 311 in that dubious category.
Catcher Eric Fryer, a September call-up whose fourth-inning RBI single kept the Twins from suffering their 16th shutout, didn't offer an apology to his manager but said it was "definitely disappointing" to fall short of the milestone.
"We definitely wanted to finish strong, wanted to get him to 1,000 this year," he said. "You never want to go into the offseason ... you never know. Anything could happen."
Sunday could mark the final time Gardenhire manages the Twins. At the very least, there could be a shakeup of his coaching staff for the second straight year.
"There's no doubleheader (Sunday), but hopefully we can get 999 for him," Fryer said. "It would be nice to avoid them celebrating."

Religious hypocrisy has been one of the lowest-hanging fruits for satire in the last few years: Think of those fervid denouncers of homosexual acts, like New Life Church pastor Ted Haggard, who were discovered to be clandestinely engaging in those very acts (in Haggard's case, with a hired masseur and under the influence of crystal meth). But religious hypocrisy is certainly nothing new, and we have a monumental critique of it in the 1664 farce Tartuffe, by the founder of modern social satire, the 17th-century French playwright Molière. This ageless comedy is onstage now at the Theater at Monmouth, in repertory, under the direction of Matthew Arbour.
The title character (James Hoban) is an obsequious, sanctimonious hanger-on in the household of Orgon (Mark S. Cartier), who is dazzled to blindness by the purported piousness of a man who "can detect a mortal sin where you would least expect it" — offenses include plunging necklines, ribbons, and "killing a flea too wrathfully." Orgon's wife Elmire (Brooke Edwards) and the rest of the house, especially the maid Dorine (Janis Stevens), see through Tartuffe's act and are vexed by his influence — particularly as it threatens the engagement of Orgon's daughter Mariane (Olivia Dustman) with her love Valère (Camden Brown) — and Elmire has herself been suffering Tartuffe's advances. Elmire's brother Cléante (Thomas Anthony Quinn) urges Orgon to be rational, reminding him that "those whose hearts are truly pure and lowly don't make a flashy show of being holy." But Orgon will only be swayed by catching the imposter in the act, in Molière's monument of a farce, written entirely in rhymed couplets and with a masterful eye for the human comedy.
Seventeenth-century arts held classicism in high esteem — the unities of time, place, and action, and the rule of balance in composition — and in both set design and blocking, Arbour's production celebrates these qualities. The harmonious set (designed by Michael Minahan) glimmers in ivory and gold-leaf stencils, with four period paintings of naked women reposing among bedclothes. As the wigged and period-garbed characters move through the room, they maintain an elegant symmetry, one actor moving upstage as a counterpart moves down, visually conjuring the sense of ordered reason that Orgon's family hopes will prevail in him and remove Tartuffe from their lives.
It's hard going, to make Cartier's beautifully tetchy, peremptory, prideful Orgon see reason. Cartier also brings fine nuance to the role, letting us see him moved by his daughter's pleas even as his foolish pride keeps him from relieving her. As his foil, the excellent Quinn gives brother-in-law Cléante an easy affability and a touch of rogue as he tries to reach Orgon. The unflappable Elmire has, like her brother, a matter-of-fact tolerance, a practical sense of sensuality, and an instinctive kindness, all of which come through radiantly in Edwards's fine performance, and which are set off nicely by the snarky impatience of Stevens's Dorine.

Kerry rips Bush in front of former Iranian president at Davos; Update: Video added
posted at 1:24 pm on January 27, 2007 by Allahpundit
This isn't the first time a major Democratic politician, or even Waffles himself, has handed Islamic fundamentalists a propaganda freebie.
The unwritten rule about politics ending at the water's edge is long gone and we're going to have to think very hard now about how best to restore it. If that means Gingrich or Giuliani going over to Israel or Australia or Japan when the Democrats are back in the White House and badmouthing the new president's foreign policy, so be it. Tit for tat.
Kerry was asked about whether the U.S. government had failed to adequately engage Iran's government before the election of hard-liner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 2005.
Kerry said the Bush administration has failed in addressing a number of foreign policy issues.
"When we walk away from global warming, Kyoto, when we are irresponsibly slow in moving toward AIDS in Africa, when we don't advance and live up to our own rhetoric and standards, we set a terrible message of duplicity and hypocrisy," Kerry said.
"So we have a crisis of confidence in the Middle East — in the world, really. I've never seen our country as isolated, as much as a sort of international pariah for a number of reasons as it is today."…
Kerry criticized what he called the "unfortunate habit" of Americans to see the world "exclusively through an American lens."
He said this while seated next to the former CEO of one of the world's foremost terrorist states, which as we speak is working on building nuclear weapons, bankrolling Hezbollah's efforts to foment civil war in Lebanon and Hamas's exterminationist jihad against Israel, and supplying Shiite militias with IEDs to kill American soldiers in Iraq. Whose current leadership, lest we forget, Kerry has previously signaled a desire to meet with. Note the bolded bit in the quote, too: given a direct choice between defending the president or siding with the Iranian government circa 2003 — whose nominal leader was, of course, Khatami himself — Lurch essentially chose the latter.
Then he signed an autograph for the pig. The same pig who, six months ago, defended executing gays for the crime of homosexuality.
Fox aired video a little while ago. I'll be back soon with a clip. Go read Captain Ed and see why Kerry's comments, simply as a factual matter, prove that he's either exceedingly stupid or a liar.
Update: Here's the video, stitched together from two different Fox News segments. Note the crack about "neocon" rhetoric and regime change. Khatami's masters must have enjoyed that.
Update: Here's a nice gloss on the day's events.

Flashing Yellow Arrow
You may have seen some new types of traffic signals installed throughout the metropolitan area. The Flashing Yellow Arrow (FYA) signals are the new standard for permissive left turn movements. A permissive turn is one that can be made through gaps in oncoming traffic. (Protected turns occur when all conflicting movements are stopped.)
In general, FYAs will increase intersection efficiency and have been found to be a safe alternative to other permissive signal configurations.
Approximately five Lake Oswego signals have been upgraded to incorporate FYA and there are plans to do more. Not all intersections are good candidates, however. Our staff regularly monitors intersection safety and efficiency.
Here's what to know (from ODOT's website):
A solid red arrow means STOP. Drivers turning left must stop.*
A solid yellow arrow means stop if it is safe to do so.
A flashing yellow arrow means turns are permitted, but you must first yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians and then proceed with caution.
A solid green arrow means turn left. Oncoming traffic must stop. Do not go straight.
*Except where allowed by law. See page 24 in the Oregon's Driver's Manual for more information.
Just remember: flashing yellow = turn with caution.

Thats a good price on them, who was the vendor at Amazon? The old school jungle boots were good too. Wore those for years for work boots till the supply of the real ones dried up.
OK, This may not be the best Forum for this post....But here it is:
I have not had a good set of Boots for a while. My oldie, moldie boots were just too shot to depend on anymore. Times are tough, and there is no extra money anywhere.
Just before Christmas, one of my long-time buds who I served with in the Air Force gave us a $500 Amazon Gift card. Merry Christmas!
Hi name is Ron. He drives a big rig for a living. He is also one of the smartest, and biggest hearted kind of guy ever. He can count his friends on one hand. He sent the gift card so that the kids could have something under the tree. In truth, he really saved my ass. Kudos to JRS on this board too. He threw in as well.
So, for my "gift", I decided on a pair of Wellco Desert boots, the kind that they supply to our troops. I had been told that these are really good, really high quality, and really comfortable boots. I looked around on Amazon, and found a well reviewed vendor who had Wellco boots like this for sale at $28.00 per pair. I was astounded. Shipping quote was $10. I figured that if they were in fact Wellco that at $38 total to my door, it was worth the risk.
The vendor waived the shipping cost, either due to an Amazon agreement or because of the Holidays...Not sure which. So, $28 to my door step for a pair of absolutely new, as issued, size 12.5 Wellco Desert boots.
They came in 3 days after the order. They had a tag on them that described them as "Seconds"....I inspected the boots and could not determine why. So I called the vendor. On hold for all of a minute. Nice guy picks up the phone, and I describe the tag, and the condition of the product, and I asked him, "Why are these boots "Seconds"???"
His response was that the shipment of boots from Wellco were originally part of a Gov. production run where the Heel portion of the leather was sewed on "inside-out" so that the suede did not match the toe portion of the leather. I looked at my new pair of boots, and sure enough; the suede does not match. He asked me if I wanted to return them....I said no. I thanked him for his time, and hung up the phone.
I set the boots in my closet then, and stumbled across them again a week ago. So, call it two months... I decided it was time to at least try them on.
At first, I thought that the fabric upper was so stiff that I would never be able to mold the fabric correctly around my ankles. The issue disappeared quickly. Then I started to think that the way they designed the eyelets was a pain in the ass because it was impossible to get the laces tight at the bottom and work up like I had always done with every pair of boots that I had ever owned.....
Then I took the time to actually read the little piece of paper that they laced onto every pair of boots. Four simple drawings, maybe 6 sentences that describe how best to put on the boots, and utilize the "Speed Lace" system.
HOLY CRAP! A MIRACLE! The boots just laced on as if by MAGIC! Perfect every time! Tight around the ankles where you want it to be tight, loose where you want it to be loose. Your heel gets pushed into the heel of the boot, but not so tight that you get blisters, and really comfortable when you walk. Good ankle support as well. These are not steel toe, but they must use something like Kydex, because the toe is armored with something.
Bottom Line: I like Wellco Boots. These ones that they make for the Gov. are really nice. Add a 1/2 size to your normal size for an exact "Boot Fit", and a full size for "room" if you want cooshy insoles and fat socks.
I am really happy with these boots, and am buying pairs for my family.
Imagine whirled peas
Peace, Love, And Superior Firepower
Thats a good price on them, who was the vendor at Amazon? The old school jungle boots were good too. Wore those for years for work boots till the supply of the real ones dried up.

Global internet users demand an end to mass surveillance on "The day we fight back"
NEW YORK, févr. 11 (APC)
Global internet users demand an end to mass surveillance on "The day we fight back"
International community unites to protest big brother on February 11
Internet rights organisations, civil-society groups, authors, and internet users across six continents take to the digital streets to demand an end to mass surveillance on Tuesday, 11 February 2014.
Last June NSA contractor Edward Snowden began releasing documents detailing the alarming, intelligence-gathering operations conducted by the US, UK and other partner nations. The revelations that mass surveillance by governments knows no bounds have galvanised people around the world, leading to condemnations from world leaders and a UN General Assembly resolution on the right to privacy in the digital age, as well as a massive supported initiative which proposes 13 "necessary and proportionate" principles to protect human rights and privacy.
"Tensions between our rights and state power have reached an unprecedented level. The rule of law, as a cornerstone of democracy and the main framework for the promotion and exercise of human rights, is now considered highly relative. The validity of human rights and freedoms online are being increasingly subordinated to the implementation of the national security doctrine, which is reminiscent of the times of the Cold War, only more sophisticated and complex," said Valeria Betancourt, APC policy manager, explaining why APC joined the day of action.
"Secrecy surrounding surveillance practices, programs and systems that operate behind the backs of citizens, as well as the total lack of accountability (not only to citizens but among different state powers) has become the norm. We must reverse this trend," she concluded.
Individuals and organisations throughout the world are joining "The day we fight back." APC member Foundation for Media Alternatives in the Philipines is co-organising a day of mass action against the country's draconian Cybercrime Prevention Act, including a protest at the Supreme Court, a viral "selfie" campaign, and a "sticker bombing." APC's Take back the tech! initiative is also joining the day of action by inviting its community to speak out on social media.

"Measure Twice......Cut Once"
You couldn't be more full of **** if you were break dancing in a Port-a-Potty.......Kruunch
To take a quote from Namath...
"I can't wait for tomorrow because I get better looking every day!!"
I could be dreaming, though...because I do have the same BD as MLKing.
How elite are you? Is that the actual question?
If anyone thinks that the Giants ownership would, at this point in time, trade Eli, one-for-one for any other QB in the league, then you truly don't believe he's an elite QB. If you believe like I do, that the Giants would not make that trade at this point in Eli's career - I truly don't see how you can say that he's not an elite QB. There are obviously other teams who would not make a trade like that for their QB - those are all teams with QB's they consider elite or will soon be elite.
So I guess the arguments have regressed to various levels of eliteness. My head hurts.
I don't think so. But I suppose everyone has a right to their opinion.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
that this is still being "discussed" here.
This place is also amazing.

Been hanging around for a few months...
Since I was interested in this area of specialization, my, no old employer, allowed me to assist on a large scale vulnerability assessment performing the recon and a few network scans and then later was given a smaller external assessment to perform. Since then I've sifted through different security news sites, picked up a few books to learn how to use some tools better, like NMAP and Nessus. Also have kept an updated copy of Backtrack.
I just like the fact that it is like a game, a puzzle of sorts! I am a sucker for a good puzzle. But I digress, thanks for keeping this site up and running and providing the useful information, it is a huge help!

The LST Eqwader 3-in-1 Plus 2 Wader Coat by Drake is now available at Macks! Drake combined a full-featured shell jacket with their Eqwader liner jacket to create the most versatile systems jacket available. The shell is outfitted with Drake's Instinctive Features to be more effective during the hunt. The Eqwader liner jacket is fleece-lined to deliver warmth without weight or bulk - and to deliver unmatched versatility, the sleeves zip off to convert the liner to a vest. The vest option provides two more ways to layer versus a conventional 3-in-1, hence the name 3-in-1 Plus 2.

We are so excited- a few times we said to ourselves, "I can't believe we are really doing it, we're really moving to Costa Rica!" Unbelievable. It was a little sad saying goodbye to family, not knowing when we will see them again. (We hope that it will be when you come to visit us down south!)
We really feel passionate about this, and have high expectations for a wonderful future in beautiful Costa Rica (learn more about CR)- we have so many plans and dreams of things that we want to do that will benefit us and the people of Costa Rica, and hopefully make a difference, however small.
The journey was uneventful for the most part. The kids did fairly well, with a few "We've been driving forever!" "Are we going to get to Costa Rica today?" I'm grateful for technology and our new DVD player- that helps the time pass easier.
We relaxed in the hot tub when we arrived at our hotel, then tried to go out to eat, but everything was closed! So we ordered a pizza instead. Tomorrow we'll head to Zion National Park, and then maybe to the Grand Canyon.
Livin' the Dream, Baby!

Movie Review: Bad Teacher
Our critic writes how the new comedy starring Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz tries too hard to be badass.
Director: Jake Kasdan Rating: R Studio: Columbia Pictures
Poor little Bad Teacher. It's neither as bad as it wants to be nor as bad as its Bad Santa-influenced title suggests it will be. Worse, after the women-behaving-badly raunch of Bridesmaids, it plays like very weak me-too.
Anyway, Cameron Diaz is front and center playing a slutty, foul-mouthed, kid-hating, frequently stoned seventh-grade teacher forced to go back to work when her moneybags fiancé dumps her. A trophy wife past her pull date, Diaz's self-deluded character thinks that the fastest way to snare a rich new sucker—substitute teacher Justin Timberlake—is with a rocking rack. But with American teachers being so grossly underpaid and implants costing what they do these days, our terminally self-absorbed heroine resorts to a succession of skeevy tricks to finance her breast implant surgery. We are supposed to find her desperation hilariously funny. That's purely a matter of taste.
Directed by Jake Kasdan (Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story) from a script by Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg, the movie tries so hard to be badass—ethnic slurs, treating kids like crap, Diaz working a school car wash in cutoffs and showing her midriff—but it doesn't add up. Diaz is hot, fun and game. She certainly goes at it full-throttle, but Timberlake (whose meant-to-be-"killer" dry humping scene is embarrassing) and Jason Segel (as the horny, pudgy physical education teacher) are undone by the mediocrity and rancid nature of what's around them; Lucy Punch, though, is pretty damn hilarious in a cringe-worthy role as Diaz's rival, a sickeningly sweet history teacher. Even at only 92 minutes, Bad Teacher feels like a week in detention.

AIDA64 Benchmark Results
AIDA64 is a full 64-bit benchmark and test suite utilizing MMX, 3DNow! and SSE instruction set extensions, and will scale up to 32 processor cores. An enhanced 64-bit System Stability Test module is also available to stress the whole system to its limits. For legacy processors all benchmarks and the System Stability Test are available in 32-bit versions as well. Additionally, AIDA64 adds new hardware to its database, including 300 solid-state drives. On top of the usual ATA auto-detect information the new SSD database enables AIDA64 to display flash memory type, controller model, physical dimensions, and data transfer performance data. AIDA64 v1.00 also implements SSD-specific SMART disk health information for Indilinx, Intel, JMicron, Samsung, and SandForce controllers.All of the benchmarks used in this test- Queen, Photoworxx, ZLib, and hash- rely on basic x86 instructions, and consume very little system memory while also being aware of Hyper-Threading, multi-processors, and multi-core processors. Of all the tests in this review, AIDA64 is the one that best isolates the processor's performance from the rest of the system. While this is useful in that it more directly compares processor performance, readers should remember that virtually no "real world" programs will mirror these results.
The Queen and Photoworxx tests are synthetic benchmarks that iterate the function many times and over-exaggerate what the real-world performance would be like. The Queen benchmark focuses on the branch prediction capabilities and misprediction penalties of the CPU. It does this by finding possible solutions to the classic queen problem on a chessboard. At the same clock speed theoretically the processor with the shorter pipeline and smaller misprediction penalties will attain higher benchmark scores.
Like the Queen benchmark, the Photoworxx tests for penalties against pipeline architecture. The synthetic Photoworxx benchmark stresses the integer arithmetic and multiplication execution units of the CPU and also the memory subsystem. Due to the fact that this test performs high memory read/write traffic, it cannot effectively scale in situations where more than two processing threads are used, so quad-core processors with Hyper-Threading have no real advantage. The AIDIA64 Photoworxx benchmark performs the following tasks on a very large RGB image:
Next up are the PCMark 07 Benchmark Results.

RIC School of Nursing Establishes Nurse Anesthesia Program
RIC nursing graduate Stephanie Resendes receives congratulations from Dean Jane Williams.
The Rhode Island College School of Nursing, in partnership with St. Joseph Hospital School of Nurse Anesthesia, now offers a Master of Science in Nursing, nurse anesthesia option.
Program graduates will be eligible to take the National Certification Examination required for licensure as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA.)
"This program is the first of its kind in Rhode Island and is part of RIC's ongoing efforts to support the needs of Rhode Island's economy," said RIC President Nancy Carriuolo.
CRNAs are registered nurses with at least two years of extensive training in anesthesia. In Rhode Island, they are able to provide anesthesia in collaboration with medical doctors in any medical setting in which anesthesia is delivered.
"This specialized program is an important achievement," said Jane Williams, dean of the RIC School of Nursing. "The program will meet a critical need for nurse anesthetists."
According to the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists, 58 percent of nurse anesthetists nationwide are between the ages of 55 and 64. Thirty-eight percent of nurse anesthetists, the association reports, plan to retire within five to 10 years.
Through this new program, nurse anesthetist students now can complete their academic training in Rhode Island. Previously, Rhode Island students have had to go out of state for study.
"This program gives the opportunity to train in Rhode Island and stay to work here," said Anne Tierney, program director at St. Joseph Hospital School of Nurse Anesthesia.
Tierney said her graduates have a 100 percent employment rate and that many secure positions prior to graduation.
The program will begin in summer 2014, and a maximum of 10 students will be admitted each year. Applications are due Feb. 15, 2014.
To be admitted to the 30-month program, applicants must have a bachelor's degree from a nationally accredited program and a minimum of one year of critical care nursing experience. Due to clinical rotations, applicants must be licensed to practice nursing in Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
The program is under shared authority of the Associates in Anesthesia Inc. and Rhode Island College. Students will be based primarily on the RIC campus for the first two program semesters, under the supervision of RIC MSN Program Director Cynthia Padula, with clinical education following. Experienced CRNAs will supervise student practicums.
Program information, including the application process, is available at www.ric.edu and at www.sjhsna.com.
The RIC School of Nursing offers a baccalaureate nursing program and MSN programs in the following: adult/gerontology with an acute care emphasis, nurse anesthesia and public health/community leadership.

text: Hiya! Thought I'd ask you if you could define what 'programming' is. We see a lot of people around here shopping for programmers and buying programmed setups... but what is involved and what does it do, really? Thanks in advance, I'm sure a lot of people will be interested in learning about the programming upgrades.

Reading this thread has made me wonder. Why do we call it tuna fish? We all know a tuna is a fish. Why not salmon fish instead of salmon fish? I know, too much time on my hands,going back to my sewing room now.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Reading this thread has made me wonder. Why do we call it tuna fish? We all know a tuna is a fish. Why not salmon fish instead of salmon fish? I know, too much time on my hands,going back to my sewing room now.
Quilt outside of the box!
Chopped lettuce [sometimes]
A Diced tomato
Sweet pickle relish
Salt pepper
A dash of onion salt
I made this every day for 7-1/2 years for the post office.
It sold out every day! Stocked the machine 2 times a day.
> >
I love tuna. Tried all different brands, even Kirkland Albacore...Starkist in water, most preferred. 2 cans (drained), mayo, celery, onion, and pickle relish (mostly dill, sometimes feel like sweet), sometimes hardboiled egg chopped very fine. Saw Ina Garten put in fresh fennel. I tried it and it is good...go light on the fennel.
Everything listed on this thread at one time or another plus I always put fresh potato chips on the sandwich for cruncyness.
Quilter 68 who is now 69/and now 70
Hi, not really a salad, but you could eat it cold, I serve it with a side salad.
Fry a finely chopped onion in a little butter and some of the drained oil from a tin of tuna, don't brown the onion.
Put into a dish, you can add some canned, drained sweetcorn to this, then add flaked tuna. make a white cheese sauce, adding some grated nutmeg
Cook some macaronni pasta. mix together with the sauce. add to the tuna and onion mix.Top with breadcrumbs mixed with grated cheese and place under the grill until brown and bubbling. I serve this with a mixed salad.My husbands favourite summer dish. Letty
I made my favorite recipe for a class meeting 25-30 years ago. I added some finely chopped pecans and about 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper and those who ate it raved about it. I used 2 cans of tuna, for my base. I haven't made it in years so don't remember the exact recipe now. But mostly I wing it when I make it.
Same recipe as mine, but sometimes I use the envelopes of tuna if they are one sale.
My favorite Tuna Sandwich:
Tuna (Costco's Kirkland brand Tuna by Bumblebee is BEST, NO MSG/chicken broth added)
Mayo, Chopped: celery, apples (apples neutralize the fishy taste... it mocks chicken) & sweet pickles, crunchy lettuce, avocado on Oatmeal Bread.

She who dies with the most fabric, didn't sew fast enough!
i use very well drained tuna, generally white as that's dh's preference, and add half a small well-chopped onion ( if you have non-onion eaters leave the pieces big enough to pull out), about 2-3 tablespoons of mayo ( or miracle whip, depending on your crowd. we are mayo people), at this point you can add a tablespoon plain yogurt if you need more moistness, and i chop up about 1/2 an qpple with or without peel. with the peel is pretty. and about a teaspoon of sweet relish, or dill relish, again it's a personal taste thing. then salt and pepper to taste. a little lemon or lime juice is a nice touch. some people enjoy some pecan pieces or walnut bits, but i'm allergic so never include them. if i want more crunch i add celery, chopped water chestnut or cucumber. personally, i love well drained tuna with just enough mayo, and salt and pepper to taste. my mother made it with mustard ( the yellow kind) but that was never to my taste. add dried or fresh parsley, dried or fresh dill, or a small amount of curry powder. tuna is sooooo versatile! i even like freshly picked peas or freshly thawed peas gently mixed in. and i've had it with cream cheese added to the mayo. it's also good with sliced green grapes. to cut down on fat totals, use a little applesauce to replace some of the mayo or miracle whip. i almost forgot that i like to add chopped olives, either green with/without pimiento, or black, hard cooked egg and a touch of nutmeg, finely chopped pear, cilantro, pick and choose! it's all good! and i love it on toasted cinnamon raisin bread! and if i don't have that i've been known to toss in a few raisins. i also love it served in a lettuce leaf cup, or a hollowed out tomato or smallish green pepper. so many ways to eat it, and all are yummy!

Reviews of this property
Comasia is a friendly hostess. I can only recommend to stay with her. Already the first contact with her a few months ago went very well. Although I arrived at the said day of several late (problems with baggage claim at the airport) with her and was afraid you had to encounter anyone, Comasia has relaxed waiting for me.
I you had a large room for me on the bedside table were cookies, coffee and tea ready for me and a small map of Rome. Very sympathic.
Comasia ist eine freundliche Gastgeberin. Ich kann den Aufenthalt bei ihr nur weiterempfehlen. Schon die erste Kontaktaufnahme mit ihr vor ein paar Monaten verlief sehr gut. Obwohl ich an besagten Tag mit etlicher Verspätung (Probleme mit Gepäckausgabe am Flughafen) bei ihr angekommen bin und schon befürchtet hattet, niemanden anzutreffen, hat Comasia ganz entspannt auf mich gewartet.
Ich hattet ein großes Zimmer für mich, auf dem Nachttisch standen Kekse, Kaffee und Tee für mich bereit sowie ein kleiner Rom Stadtplan. Sehr sympathisch.
The hippest very clean and care. It Comasia very friendly, we assisted at all times indicating the best public transport routes and nice places to eat. No problem.
El apartamente muy limpio y cuidado. Comasia muy amable, nos prestó ayuda en todo momento indicándonos las mejores rutas de transporte público y sitios agradables para comer. Ningún problema.
This is my first trip in Italy! I am very worried!
But Comasia gave me a lot of information, so I can very easily arrived!
She also gave me the encouragement!
Great apartment with everything you need! The communication was very easy and Comasia were always very helpful and very friendly.
Perfect place to discover Rome. I really recommend this apartment to anyone.
A very friendly, always attentive hostess, offering a large room. The apartment was very well maintained and is located in the east of Rome, close to the tram.
Eine überaus freundliche, stets aufmerksame Gastgeberin , die ein großes Zimmer anbietet. Die Wohnung war sehr gepflegt und liegt im Osten von Rom, nah an der Straßenbahn.
My friend and I were very satisfied with our housing. Comasia was an amazing host and made everything very easy for us.
The apartment is cosy and clean and the location is not bad. You might hear divergent opinions about Pigneto but we found the neighborhood quite nice. And there is a tram/bus station right next to the apartment. There are restaurants in the neighborhood and there is a supermarket near the apartment, which makes things easier. As long as you keep in mind that trams and busses run less frequently in the week-end, you'll be just fine.
The only potential downside was that we could hear the upstairs neighbors as the ceiling was not completely sound proof. Keep in mind if you're a light sleeper.
Like said before, we were very satisfied with our housing.
Comasia has different rooms, thus is a vote not so simple.
in the room we had, the facilities OK, but unfortunately due to the location of the room very noisy as directly a staircase with iron door lies the room to the backyard, this is done by 700 clock loudly on and each morning.
Valet parking and car is very problematic.
The tying by tram to the city center is very good.
Comasia is very sweet and helpful.
Comasia hat verschiedene Zimmer, daher ist eine Bewertung nicht so einfach.
bei den Zimmer das wir hatten, ist die Ausstattung OK, aber leider durch die Lage des Zimmers sehr Laut, da unmittelbar am Zimmer eine Treppe mit Eisentür zum Hinterhof liegt ,diese wird jeden morgen um 700 Uhr Lautstark auf und zu gemacht.
Das Parken mit dem PKW ist sehr Problematisch.
Die Abbindung mit der Straßenbahn in die City ist sehr gut.
Comasia ist sehr Lieb und hilfsbereit.
I had a really nice stay with Comasia. She is really friendly and helpfull. My room was at the front, at the busy stree,t so a bit noisy at times (but itdidnot bother me much). I would definitaly go back and stay there again and I would recommend it to others too!
We had a lovely experience to stay at Comasia. She sent us superfine vejinstruktioner and took warmly in against us. The home was really clean and nice, and everything was as it should be
Vi havde en dejlig oplevelse med at bo hos Comasia. Hun sendte os super fine vejinstruktioner, og tog hjerteligt i mod os. Hjemmet var virkelig rent og pænt, og alt var som det skulle være
Well, this was awesome!
It's easy to find the place, trams and buses go really close.
There are supermarket close and farmacia and pizerria - everything is really close.
The room is big, clean and quite, and really no need for condition - it's very comfortable temperature in the room while outside is July in Rome! )
It is allowed to use kitchen and fridge, what is very usefull if you buy anything and bring home.
Comasia is greate, very nice person. Answered all our questions, helped everywhere she could and we had very pleasent conversations.
Highly, strongly recommend this accomodation and host Comasia!

- Every host is verified by telephone

What is hyoscyamine (Levsin)?
Hyoscyamine produces many effects in the body, including relief from muscle spasms.
Hyoscyamine also reduces the fluid secretions of many organs and glands in the body, such as the stomach, pancreas, lungs, saliva glands, sweat glands, and nasal passages.
Hyoscyamine is used to treat many different stomach and intestinal disorders, including peptic ulcer and irritable bowel syndrome. It is also used to control muscle spasms in the bladder, kidneys, or digestive tract, and to reduce stomach acid. Hyoscyamine is sometimes used to reduce tremors and rigid muscles in people with symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
Hyoscyamine is also used as a drying agent to control excessive salivation, runny nose, or excessive sweating.
Hyoscyamine may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

What are the possible side effects of hyoscyamine?
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.
Stop using hyoscyamine and call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:
- diarrhea;
- confusion, hallucinations;
- unusual thoughts or behavior;
- fast, pounding, or uneven heart rate;
- rash or flushing (warmth, redness, or tingly feeling); or
- eye pain.
Less serious side effects may include:
- dizziness, drowsiness, feeling nervous;
- blurred vision, headache;
- sleep problems (insomnia);
- nausea, vomiting, bloating, heartburn, or constipation;
- changes in taste;
- problems with urination;
- decreased sweating;
- dry mouth; or
- impotence, loss of interest in sex, or trouble having an orgasm.
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 Levsin (hyoscyamine) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
What is the most important information I should know about hyoscyamine?
Do not take hyoscyamine if you are allergic to it, or if you have kidney disease, a bladder or intestinal obstruction, severe ulcerative colitis, toxic megacolon, glaucoma, or myasthenia gravis.
Before taking hyoscyamine, tell your doctor if you have heart disease, congestive heart failure, a heart rhythm disorder, high blood pressure, overactive thyroid, or hiatal hernia with gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Avoid taking antacids at the same time you take hyoscyamine. Antacids can make it harder for your body to absorb hyoscyamine. If you use an antacid, take it after you have taken hyoscyamine and eaten a meal.
Hyoscyamine may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be alert.
Drinking alcohol can increase drowsiness and dizziness while you are taking hyoscyamine.
Avoid becoming overheated or dehydrated during exercise and in hot weather. Hyoscyamine can decrease sweating and you may be more prone to heat stroke.
