Albon (generic name: sulfadimethoxine) for dogs is an antibiotic medication used to treat bacterial infections in dogs. It is also used to treat a coccidiosis, a serious parasitic infection in dogs. Albon for dogs is available in a tablet or liquid form. It is also available as an injection. The use of Albon requires a prescription from a veterinarian. In tablet or liquid form, Albon is usually given once every 24 hours. The first dose your dog takes may be larger then the following doses.
Special Note
Note that this medicine is also available for cats. Do not use the cat medicine on dogs or the dog version for cats. The doses will not match, in which case your pet might encounter severe side effects or the medication will be ineffective.
What Can Albon Treat?
Albon is approved for the treatment of infections caused by organisms that include staphylococcus, escherichia and salmonella. Among the infections it treats are respiratory infections including tonsillitis, bronchitis and pneumonia; skin infections; anal gland infections; skin wounds; urinary tract infections and infections in the uterus. Your vet may recommend this medication for other infections not listed here. Your vet may also switch your dog from another medication to Albon if your dog's infection isn't getting better.
Who Should Not Use Albon
Albon is not for human use--it is only an animal medication. If your dog is allergic to sulfonamide antibiotics ("sulfa drugs"), he should not be treated with Albon. Signs of allergy can include trouble breathing and skin rash.
If your dog is pregnant or nursing, she should not get Albon, nor should her puppies if they are younger than 7 weeks of age. If your dog has kidney or liver disease, the vet will probably prescribe a different medicine. If your dog is taking certain medications, such as phenytoin (an anti-seizure drug), warfarin (a blood thinner), aspirin and methotrexate (a chemotherapy drug) she should not take Albon. Make sure your vet knows of all the medications and supplements your dog takes. Even herbal supplements can interact with prescription drugs.
Possible Side Effects
Possible side effects from Albon include fever, skin rash, vomiting and diarrhea. In addition, joint pain and dry eye may also occur. Call your vet if any of these side effects develop. Also call your vet if your dog develops any new symptoms that are not listed above while taking this medicine. It is sometimes difficult to determine if these new symptoms are side effects from the medication or not. It is best to call your vet when in doubt.
Other Considerations
Albon, like all antibiotics, is not effective against viral infections. However, to be effective against bacteria, you should make sure to finish the entire treatment, unless told otherwise by your vet. Even if your dog seems to be completely healthy, some resistant bacteria may still be infecting your dog. If you stop the treatment too early, the infection could worsen or the cured infection can recur. During treatment, make sure your dog drinks plenty of water to avoid formation of crystals in the kidneys.

A/N: How long has it been? I don't know but I'm a lazy moron. Also rusty. Let's test it out, shall we? Enjoy the testicular jokes.
"Oh... Man... what happened?" The ground beneath my body was cold and wet, the air was rank and stale. My eyes slid open to observe my surroundings. Apparently, I had been kidnapped or something... and now I was in a dimly lit room... Room isn't even the right word. It was more like a chamber, with glass walls and vast spaces. Seaweed danced upon the edge of the glass, but there were no fish to be seen. My hand made it's way in front of me, feeling for some kind of support to help me on my feet. I grasped something stiff and cold. Rubbing my eyes, I sat up with a grunt. The thing I had grabbed was a human corpse... And my hand was on his nether regions.
"Oh GOD!" I leapt to my feet and swayed a little, dizzy from naseau. My hand flew to my mouth to suppress my puke, but I had forgotten that this was the hand I had groped the dead body with. I hacked up all there was in my stomach, cursing as I did so.
"Jack! Have you come to?"
"Obviously, Atlas! It's not some goddamn splicer out here barfing his balls off!" I replied angrily as I wiped the mix of chips and twinkies from my mouth.
"Wait... Did you just say, 'barfing his balls off'? That doesn't even make sense. You just wanted to say 'balls'."
"Don't judge me."
"Whatever, you're just angry because you're spliced up."
"What? What do you mean?"
"That was a plasmid you just pumped into your system. Plasmids give you amazing new abilities. This one happen to be electroshock."
"DUDE. Are you serious? That's insane!" I gazed at my hands, they didn't seem any different. A little skeptical, I walked towards a vita-chamber. I squeezed my head in between the wall and the glowing tube. Sure enough, there was a dead cat crammed where no one could find it... Except for a master-mind such as myself.
"HIYAAAA!" I made a super-hero like motion with my hands at the cat. At first, I felt nothing, but a few seconds passed, and soon I felt something tingling at the ends of my finger tips. A flash of lightning erupted from the palm of my hand, striking the cat and causing it to fly half-way across the room. "Holy crap!" I screamed in a manly, yet shrill voice. "That's bitchin' to the max! CANADIAN PRIDE MOFO!" I thrust my fists into the air, proud to be a dedicated fan of Kids in the Hall.
"Okay, okay, you've seen it. Now stop acting like a socially awkward high schooler and get out of here."
"Hold on, hold on, I wanna find that cat first and beat it with my wrench. There's something so magical about that thing..."
"Just go!"
"Fine geeze!" I reluctantly shoved my hands into my pockets and stomped through the vault and into a glass tunnel.
After wandering around and zapping guys with my lightning hands, I stumbled upon a particular room. It didn't have any glass windows.... strange. I looked below, a few spotlight's were focused on a corpse. There was a little girl hovering over it.
"Oh man, I'm gonna zap this bitch." I snickered as I readied my hands.
"Wait! Would you kindly lower that weapon for me?"
My hands fell to my sides almost immediately. "What, what is it radio man! Why don't you want me to zap her!" I was slightly annoyed. For once MY EYES were on the easy target and Atlas was going to let it slip away. I heard a tired sigh over the radio.
"It's a little sister..."
A/N: I am so proud of myself.
Seriously second or third vita chamber, there's this freaky cat crammed behind it. And it's like a statue, but it's light like a doll, and it bleeds.
I always try to sit it upright. Heh.

Uneasy Riders; In Battle Over Transit Passes, Students Wait, and Worry
By JACQUES STEINBERG
Published: August 10, 1995
Adenike Cumberland, who hopes someday to manage a pharmaceutical company, sees her free transit pass as the ticket to a dream. It enables her to study at the High School for Health Professions and Human Services near Stuyvesant Town in Manhattan, one hour by subway from her home in Far Rockaway, Queens.
Tarin Switzer of Elmhurst, Queens, a sophomore at St. John's parochial school in Astoria, said she was counting on her transit pass to save her family $450 this year -- money that could come in handy with her father injured and unable to work.
And Dupree Waring, 12, wonders how he would cover the 19 long blocks between his family's Bronx apartment and Intermediate School 116 without his transit pass, which affords him the luxury of riding a city bus, a service he said he could not pay for otherwise.
"I guess I would just have to walk," he said yesterday. "But it gets so cold in the winter."
However different New York City's school-age children are, nearly 500,000 of them share the common bond of carrying a transit pass, a privilege that was first granted to students almost 50 years ago and has evolved, over the generations, into what began to seem like a birthright.
Indeed, the broad cross-section of New York children who benefit from that privilege was made abundantly clear over the last week. From the Bronx to Staten Island, the reaction against plans to eliminate the passes has been so angry that Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority are negotiating a compromise to save them, at least through the end of this year.
The M.T.A. board is scheduled to vote today on whether to eliminate them entirely. And, with the start of school a month away, students are holding their breath about the outcome of a matter that affects not only their daily lives but also, in some cases, their futures.
At a time when students can choose to attend virtually any school they like, provided they are accepted, the passes carry a new importance, educators say. They insure that all students can choose with the same freedom, unhampered by the cost of transportation.
Transit passes are as prevalent as cash in the wallets of thousands of students who travel across the city to attend its most sought-after public schools, like Brooklyn Technical High School, Stuyvesant High School in Manhattan and the Bronx High School of Science. But they are also carried by students who attend private schools as varied as the United Talmudical Academy in Brooklyn, Horace Mann Preparatory School in the Bronx and Spyropoulos Greek-American School in Flushing, Queens. More than 650 pass-holders alone attend the elite Dalton School on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
"One could hypothesize that Giuliani's interest has been heightened because it's not just the public school constituency who bears the brunt of this particular policy," said Robert Berne, dean of the Wagner School of Public Service at New York University.
The passes are distributed on the basis of distance, not need. And a look at the range of students who use them paints a striking picture of just what lengths they go to in traveling to school every day, crisscrossing the city like adult commuters.
Most of those who hold Transit Authority passes are high school students, but a significant number -- about 17,000 -- are small children, kindergartners through third graders. The small children get the free passes if they live more than a half-mile from school and are not on a yellow school bus route. High school students must live more than a mile and a half from school.
The same criteria apply to private school students, since state law requires the city to provide comparable transportation for them. Even those few New York City residents who attend out-of-town schools -- including two New York students currently enrolled at the Torah Academy of Bergen County in Teaneck, N.J. -- are given transit passes to get them to the city limits.
Miss Cumberland said that the two high schools in her neighborhood -- Beach Channel and Far Rockaway -- do not provide specialized courses or internships in pharmacology. But to get to the school that does, in Manhattan, she must spend a half hour on the A train and another half hour on the No. 1.
She said she did not know whether her father, a production manager at a printing company, could afford to give her the $12.50 she would spend each week on subway fares.
"I don't think anyone should have to pay to get to a free school," she said.
Others whose parents pay for them to attend parochial schools said that the passes provide helpful budgetary relief.
Samantha Gonzalez, a 16-year-old senior at Mount St. Ursula in the Bronx, said that her parents would have to trim their budget elsewhere to pay her bus fare to school, which is a 10-minute ride -- or a 40-minute walk -- away.
"Maybe they would cut back on food or clothes," she said. "My lunch money or something like that."
Some public school students, who said they simply could not afford to pay their own fares, said they would have little choice but to drop out or skip school if the passes were eliminated.
"If they cut the passes, we're not going to school," said Edgar Guzman, 16, an incoming freshman at Adlai Stevenson in the Bronx. "Where are we going to get that kind of money? And why should we pay anyway?"
Still others say they see the passes as a form of compensation, one that helps offset the drudgery and boredom they sometimes associate with school.
Cory Pelzer, 17, who attends James Madison High School in Brooklyn, said going to school without being given a pass would be "like going to work and not getting a paycheck."

|How can I best extend WebdavServlet?
|Sat, 21 Sep 2002 11:35:07 GMT
Hi all. I'm new to Tomcat4, although I've been using Tomcat3 for over two years. A major difference appears to be the classloader mechanism, which I'm having trouble getting to grips with. This leads to my question: Is it possible to write a class that extends the Tomcat4 WebdavServlet? If I try the obvious 'MyWebdavServlet extends WebdavServlet' in my own package, I get a ClassDefNotFound for org/apache/catalina/servlets/WebdavServlet when I try to call it. I guess this is something to do with the classloader, because if I put the same MyWebdavServlet into the org.apache.catalina.servlets package (which I know is a dodgy thing to do) and put that class under tomcat/server/classes, all works well... Can anyone explain this phenomenon? Has anyone written a class in their own package that extends WebdavServlet?

Hamilton feeling good after fever and accident
(Reuters) - Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton said he was feeling good for Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix after making a delayed arrival in Sao Paulo on Thursday due to sickness and a car accident.
"I'm on the up-slope, so I am a lot closer to 100 percent," the Mercedes driver told reporters at the Interlagos circuit ahead of the penultimate race of a championship that he has already won.
Hamilton had revealed late on Wednesday, via Instagram and after the team had said he was suffering from a fever, that he had been involved in a road accident in Monaco in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
The 30-year-old Briton said he wanted to take responsibility for the incident to prevent people from making a "quick buck" out of it.
"Nobody was hurt, which is the most important thing," he had told his fans. "But the car was obviously damaged and I made very light contact with a stationary vehicle."
He gave no further details after flying in on Thursday. Unconfirmed media reports suggested he had been driving a purple Pagani Zonda supercar, worth around $2 million, at the time.
The triple champion said life had been hectic since the Mexican Grand Prix on Nov 1.
"I had gone to Mexico on the Wednesday. We worked all day Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday," he said.
"And then I had my mum's (60th birthday) party (in London) and that killed me, That was pretty amazing, but I really felt it on Sunday and Monday." Continued...

Do I Need Plastic Surgery After My Bariatric Surgery?
posted on
Bariatric Surgery and Public Attention
Bariatric surgery, the stomach shrinking procedure that is sometimes referred to as weight loss surgery, has worked its way into the American vernacular in recent years, and continued media attention is keeping the controversial procedure fresh on public tongues. In the last twelve months Medicare has removed language from official documents stating that obesity is not an illness, health insurers like Michigan's M-Care have added benefits including discounts on weight loss programs and bariatric surgery, and clips of the surgery being performed made its way into the blockbuster documentary Super Size Me. The amount of surgeries being performed reflects this trend. The number continues to increase, and, according to Georgeann Mallory, executive director of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery (ASBS), more than 140,000 are expected for 2004, the most since the procedure was first performed in 1954.
As obesity and associated diseases is on its way to replacing smoking as the number 1 preventable death in America, there is no end in sight to the attention that this surgery is getting. Despite a mortality rate estimated from 0.1% to 1-2%, the majority of patients enjoy benefits including weight loss and the reversal of life threatening diseases such as type II diabetes. Many overweight patients find the risk to reward ratio acceptable and make the life altering commitment that comes with the surgery. The spin off of this increase has meant a boom for the plastic surgery field.
Behind the Numbers
In 2003, more than 52,000 post-bariatric plastic surgery procedures were performed according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). Many patients are loosing excessive amounts of weight in a short period of time, and in many instances the remaining skin is not elastic enough to shrink back down. What results is a lot of saggy or drooping skin, especially in the arms, stomach, thighs, breasts, and buttocks. For some, these issues are ones of aesthetics, for others, personal hygiene is a concern, but whatever the reason, these patients come to surgeons' offices, posing a new challenge.
Though tummy tucks, lower body lifts, and liposuction are not new to the cosmetic surgery world, performing these (and other) procedures on post-bariatric patients often requires a different approach. In fact, the demand and relative newness of these types of procedures have occasioned both the ASPS and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) to devote several-hour long seminars to it at their annual meetings in 2004.
The Post-Bariatric Patient and the Plastic Surgeon's Dilemma
As in all cosmetic procedures, the consultation is an important step in determining what and how procedures should be performed to achieve desired results. During this time surgeons get to know their patients, their medical history, what expectations the patients have following surgery, and their physical and mental health, both of which must be in good shape in order to undergo intensive surgery that can last up to six hours or more under general anesthetic. In turn, patients are educated on procedural practices and common results. This is the time for patients to ask all of their questions, familiarize themselves with possible risks, and become comfortable with their doctor.
What makes body contouring, or body reshaping, more difficult after bariatric surgery is that the skin has usually been permanently damaged by being so extremely stretched. The result is that the patient's skin will loosen with age faster than a normal patient's. Bariatric patients desiring such reshaping after surgery should find a specialist with experience dealing with this type of situation.

Small Nuclear Reactors May Spur Factory Jobs, Exports, U.S. Says
The Obama administration's plan to develop a new generation of small nuclear reactors may spur U.S. manufacturing jobs and exports, the Commerce Department said.
Building "small modular reactors," about a third the size of the nuclear units now used by power companies, may provide "tremendous new commercial opportunities for U.S. firms and workers," the department's International Trade Administration said today in a report.
Most U.S. reactors have capacities from 800 megawatts to 1,200 megawatts, according to the report. President Barack Obama's budget request for fiscal 2012 seeks $67 million to help companies such as Westinghouse Electric Co., a unit of Tokyo- based Toshiba Corp., and Babcock & Wilcox Co. of Charlotte, North Carolina, develop small reactor designs and win approval from U.S. nuclear regulators.
The nuclear plants generating 300 megawatts or less would be built in retooled U.S. factories and shipped by rail, unlike large reactors that are assembled on site and depend on components from Japan and South Korea, according to the report. If small-reactor manufacturers can "prove their designs in the domestic market" for new power plants, they will likely start making export sales, the report said.
The Obama administration is "very, very positive about small modulars," even as it supports the construction of larger reactors with federal loan guarantees, Energy Secretary Steven Chu told reporters Feb. 14.
Small reactors power more than 80 U.S. Navy vessels. While those units are allowed to use more highly enriched nuclear fuel than civilian facilities, small nuclear units developed for power plants may "resemble the naval reactors that have been operating for decades," according to the report.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
Someone posted a fake ad on Craigslist about me and I want to ID them. Is that realistic? CL wants a subpoena to get to give the account information. I am wondering if the information I will receive is worth the cost of a subpoena? My guess would be that CL would give information about the "person" who set up the account (name, email address, etc.) and the IP address. Then would I need to subpoena the IP address owner for those records? What if they were using free WiFI somewhere? Seems hopeless?
Hi, thanks for submitting your question today.
It is going to be quite a process to get a subpoena. Only a court with an active lawsuit can issue a subpoena. So you'd have to file a lawsuit against (claiming defamation of character) a John Doe defendant, then have the court issue you a subpoena to Craigslist. This probably would get you the identity with one caveat. Craigslist does not cost anything to use. Thus people can freely set up a fake email address and id and create a fake account. Your hope then would be that Craigslist keeps the IP address of account holders, then you would check the IP address in search engine, like WhatsMyIPAddress, to find the account holders ISP. Then you'd have to have a second subpoena issued to the ISP to locate the person's (or the account holder's) identity. Quite a bit of work if you ask me, and probably not worth pursuing unless you were genuinely financially harmed by the posting.
Thanks for your quick response. I just can't imagine anyone posting something fake would use their real information or do it from an identifiable IP address (like at home). If I did get an IP address from CL -traced it and then subpoena the owner of the IP - what if it was a wi fi - like Starbucks? Could they then trace it to an actual individual computer by some internal computer ID? I know there is something called a MAC address, but from what I read, it does't really help. This all really isn't worth my time and money if I can't trace it back to an actual person and from your response (and researching on the web) it doesn't seem realistic. Seems like a internet loop hole....
That is what I thought. Sigh. Thank you.

Until now, there has been little research assessingthe impact and extent of business ethics education andservice learning upon students' values and opinions. This paper studies the influence of these variables byanalyzing 129 junior-level students' ethical valuesand opinions before and after these experiences. Through the use of the Students' Values and OpinionsSurvey (SVOS) as a measurement gauge, we foundsignificant support for our hypotheses that a businessethics course and a community service experiencepositively affect students' values and opinions. Thus, we found desirable improvement in the ethicalvalues and opinions of students after they wereexposed to service learning and business ethicseducation. In addition, we explored the impact ofservice learning by gender and prior communityservice. We did not find a significant difference inthe effect of service learning for men or women, butdid find that prior community service increased thepositive impact for students completing theircommunity service requirement in this study.

Today I decided to write about one of the people who influenced me a lot at Seattle's ECWC Conference.
I got the impression that she wanted to help those of us in the audience who were willing to listen and learn. As you know, many authors are stuck in the traditional mindset and that's just fine. Most likely, they have grown up with certain rules, are happy in their worlds and cling to those outdated times. She wasn't. Marie proved there is a new frontier for her and anyone willing to take chances. And she took that dissatisfaction to the RWA board and fought against the Rita contest guidelines so that we would be allowed to enter our Indie work. Thumbs up for her spirit and the courage it must have taken to face down the wall of disapproval and rejection.
Beside myself, there were others willing to admit that changes have happened, are stil happening and they wanted to get on board. Being that I am an eager learner, I sucked in everything she advised. Some things I'm on the fence about but most I agreed with one-hundred percent.
Before I finish this post, I wanted to also add a link she passed on for a yahoo group called Self Publishing Info Swap. I've just joined and I have no doubt that a person will pick up loads of great information there about all matters pertaining to the route many of us are taking as today's Indie Authors.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) It will be "impossible" for Pakistan to hold free and fair parliamentary elections next month because President Pervez Musharraf has tilted the political playing field so far in his favor, Human Rights Watch said Wednesday.
"A genuine election campaign is impossible when the media remains muzzled, leaders of civil society remain under arrest, and the legitimate judiciary of the country has been deposed and replaced by hand-picked supporters of the government," said Ali Dayan Hasan, South Asia researcher at the New York-based group.
Last Saturday, Musharraf lifted a six-week state of emergency during which he purged the Supreme Court of independent-mind judges, arrested hundreds of opposition figures and reined in the independent media, entrenching the crackdown with unilateral constitutional amendments.
He has said he acted to ramp up the fight against the spread of Islamic militancy and save the country from an alleged conspiracy, involving some members of the judiciary, to derail the country's return to democracy. Opponents claim he moved solely to strengthen his grip on power; the Supreme Court had been about to rule on the legitimacy of his re-election in October by a Parliament stacked with his supporters.
Despite the government's claims that only three of the people rounded up after the emergency was imposed Nov. 3 remain in custody, Human Rights Watch claimed scores of lawyers, judges and other government critics are still in detention. The government denies the deposed judges are under house arrest, even though large security contingents are posted outside their homes.
Musharraf has said he guarantees the elections will be free and fair, and invited foreign monitors to monitor the process. But he has told the opposition, which has repeatedly claimed Musharraf is preparing to rig the vote to favor his supporters, to avoid agitation, cracking down hard on a small protest Monday in Islamabad.
The U.S. Embassy in Islamabad issued a warning for American citizens to be particularly careful in Pakistan, given the confluence of the Eid and Christmas holidays with the election campaign.
"There have been numerous suicide bombings in the country, with threats of more attacks, and demonstrations are expected during the days leading up to the elections," the embassy statement said. "The main security focus is entry and exit from the airports. We urge citizens to remain vigilant when moving through crowds while entering or exiting the airport."
Human Rights Watch said the country's recent problems had a bittersweet side-effect until the crackdown: the emergence of the legal community as a political force amid infighting and rivalries within the splintered opposition.
"The lawyers' movement had done more in eight months to challenge the pillars of military rule than the political opposition had done in eight years," Hasan said. "Musharraf's crackdown on legal institutions is a huge setback for human rights and the rule of law in Pakistan."
The two main opposition groups have dropped threats to boycott the vote, saying they can't afford to give Musharraf's allies unfettered control of Parliament. The new legislators will be charged with forming a new government.
But a coalition of smaller opposition groups, including Jamaat-e-Islami, Pakistan's largest Islamist party, said Tuesday it would go ahead with plans to boycott, saying the election will not be fair unless the judges are reinstated, "unconstitutional" steps Musharraf took under the emergency are revoked and he resigns.

I was looking for a cheap alternative to ADT home monitoring on the internet and came across Alarmbillingservices.com. It sounded like a good offer, and it was less expensive than other monitoring services. I received the equipment, and it was not compatiable with my alarm. I tried to cancele, but they made me make 3 more payments before I could cancele. Then they stuck me with a $99 bill for their equipment.
Save your money, and avoid this company.

The OnePlus 3 has arrived with, among other things, a super-fast fingerprint sensor. But is it faster than the iPhone 6S and Touch ID?
Apple's current flagship is renowned for having the slickest biometric authentication system in town. And really, for the price Apple continues to charge for it, you'd expect as much.
The OnePlus 3 comes in at around half the price, yet the Chinese manufacturer is claiming great things about its fingerprint scanner.
Read also: iPhone 7
YouTube channel SuperSaf TV has put these claims to the test in a video that pitches the OnePlus 3 fingerprint scanner against the iPhone 6S with Touch ID. Which is faster? Check it out:
The result is a pretty clear win for the OnePlus 3. Both from sleep and from the lock screen, the cheaper phone is noticeably quicker to authenticate and jump to the home screen.
There's some question over whether it's those sluggish iOS animations that are actually slowing things down, so the video also performs the same tests with animations turned off. The result is the same - a clear win for the OnePlus 3.
Related: OnePlus 3 vs Nexus 6P: Which is best?
Of course, we're still talking fractions of a second here, so this shouldn't be the basis upon which you make a purchasing decision. It also remains to be seen how consistent and accurate the OnePlus solution is over time compared to Touch ID.
But for now, this is another example of OnePlus punching above its weight.
Which phone do you prefer, and why? Let us know in the comments.

Belly Size and Problems
Hi..I have chronic stomach problems like constipation, gas problem, bloating, etc for years. I am vegetarian, non-smoker and non-drinker. I have been taking precautions for spicy and fatty foods for long time. My stomach is bloated more for more than 5-6 months. Since its bloated, I tried more control. Even I ignored my diets sometimes but no changes and my belly size comparatively increased. I don't know bloating/ increased size is because of my stomach problem or because of belly fats. I work in night-shift for 3yrs.

Hi..., Avoid problem foods. If certain foods make your signs and symptoms worse, don't eat them. These may include alcohol, chocolate, caffeinated beverages such as coffee and sodas, medications that contain caffeine, dairy products, and sugar-free sweeteners such as sorbitol or mannitol. If gas is a problem for you, foods that might make symptoms worse include beans, cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli. Fatty foods also may be a problem for some people. Chewing gum or drinking through a straw can lead to swallowing air, causing more gas. Eat at regular times. Don't skip meals, and try to eat about the same time each day to help regulate bowel function. if you're constipated, eating larger amounts of high-fiber foods may help move food through your intestines.

Special thanks to jinks7985 for the beta-reading and to Maria Semenova for her Vikings novels I adored in my teens.
The Vikings
Norway, 830s AD
Old Norse words and names: Noregr – Norway, hofðing – chieftain, hird – a group of warriors, bound by personal loyalty to their leader, Sami – Finns, hersir – lord.
The night was clear; the moon and the stars lighted up the graceful silhouette of a slowly moving longship and the tall black-clad figure on its bow. The man, staring ahead with his arms crossed, was Kristein Leifrsson, also known as Kris the Raven – one of the most feared Vikings among the seas of Noregr. One of those who were called sea-hofðings, because they didn't have a home other than the deck of their longship…
Kris sighed deeply, watching the stars reflecting in the sea surface. On starry nights like these, bitter memories always came uninvited… He wasn't always a sea-hofðing; there was a time, not so long ago, when he'd had a piece of land to call his own, and a woman to wait for him on the shore, and a bright little boy to listen to his tales. But he'd been one day late to sail home… and it all went up in flames. He wasn't the only one to lose family that day, and the greedy neighbor responsible for the losses had paid tenfold, but no amount of revenge could bring anyone back.
And so Kris had taken the Gods from under the burnt remnants of his home, put them under the deck of his longship and sailed away, taking on board everyone who still wanted to follow him. Now, five winters later, half of them were still here among his hird, including two of his closest friends – Bjarni Viglafsson and Jolaf Stigvatsson.
Kris looked back briefly – despite the late hour, Jolaf still sat aft, steering the ship. Jolaf the Pilot – he'd been handling a rudder long before Kris knew how to handle a sword, and now, as far as Leifrsson was concerned, he still was the best pilot out there. Kris knew full well that he owed at least half of his battle victories to Jolaf's skill; and the storms the grey-haired man had lead them through were countless.
Bjarni was another man who'd been there as long as Kris could remember himself. Born within a month of each other, the two of them had been fighting with each other or getting into mischief together before they could walk properly. Bjarni had been Kris's right hand in every raid – including the one that had been one day too long, and the one that had followed. Now Viglafsson was still here, large man who loved battle, mirth and women. And who still managed to make Kris laugh every now and then. Bjarni had been wounded during their latest battle, earlier today; and now he lay beside the mast behind Kris's back, and their healer, Naveed ibn Osama, was fussing over him.
Those who encountered Leifrsson's ship these days, in battle or otherwise, were always shocked to see a dark-skinned man among the Vikings. Some even believed that the Raven had summoned an evil monster to serve him. The real story was much simpler. They had seized a Swedish merchant ship carrying slaves, a dark-skinned Arabian among them. Kris hadn't paid a second glance to him then, fully intending to just sell his spoils during his next stop, but the Fates had decided otherwise. Jolaf had been hurt during the battle, and his wound was clearly beyond their meager healing skills, so when the Arabian offered his help, Kris accepted. Soon Jolaf had been back on his feet, and less than a month later Leifrsson had freed the healer, but Naveed had nowhere to go and nobody to go to, so he had stayed on the ship. His healing skills (and his throwing knives) had saved their lives more than once since then, and he was as much Kris's hirdman as anyone else on the longship.
"Naveed, how is he?" the worried voice asked quietly.
"Fear not, my young friend," the healer answered. "Bjarni is strong and stubborn, he will recover."
The first voice belonged to Jorn Dagsson, the youngest and the newest hirdman on the ship. The boy was from Linsetr, the settlement where they had spent the worst of the last winter, and he had tagged along with them when they had left. Jorn's father was a Viking, killed before his birth, and his mother was a slave woman, who also had died early; the hersir of Linsetr had freed Jorn, but no one had bothered to give the short and dark-haired boy a sword and a chance to become a man. Bjarni was the first person who saw something in the kid, and now, months later, Kris was inclined to agree with him. The boy had courage and loyalty – and that was enough to become a real Viking one day.
From Jorn and Linsetr, Kris's thoughts drifted to another winter stay in one of the northern fiords which bordered with Finland. Leifrsson moved his shoulders, suddenly feeling the scar on his back – a reminder of the wrestle with polar bear native to that land. It might have ended much worse, but Vidgar the Hunter had intervened. A Norseman born in fiord, but raised by Sami, Vidgar was an excellent tracker and hunter but hadn't stepped on a ship before he'd met Kris. But for some reason he'd wanted to join them, and for some reason Kris had let him and he hadn't ever regretted it. The others had accepted the Hunter, too; he had an eagle's eyesight and was a good archer, both talents useful on a longship. But as time had passed, and Vidgar had remembered or re-learned his native language and the stories of their Gods, another one of his talents had come forward, one that was much rarer and much more respected among the Norse than any warrior skills. So they didn't call him Vidgar the Hunter anymore, but Vidgar the Scald; and the name was well deserved.
Kris broke from his memories and turned from the sea to face his men. Vidgar sat on one of the bow benches, unable to sleep despite all Naveed's potions. He too, was hurt; his wound wasn't serious but was very painful. Ezra sat next to him, talking quietly, most likely telling some unbelievable tale from far lands, trying to distract the Scald from his pain.
Ezra was another man one wouldn't expect to find on a Viking's ship. A German merchant, he'd been running from something or someone in one of the big trade cities, and Kris discovered him on the ship once they had left the city's haven. "Must be some threat," Vidgar had said then, "if he sought refuge on a longship." Kris had agreed with that, and one day he might even ask Ezra what he had been running from.
Leifrsson grinned, remembering his first talk with the German. The urge to just heave the man overboard was strong, but Ezra's courage and sharp tongue had impressed the Raven, so he'd let him stay. And it soon had become apparent that Ezra was a useful man to have around. He knew all trade cities in the area like Kris knew his ship, spoke all the local languages and always could find the best way to turn the spoils they took into the things they needed – from bread to exotic herbs for Naveed's potions. Though he didn't enjoy battle like the rest of them, he wasn't a coward and had proved himself there, too. And so as strange as it may seem, but Ezra the Merchant was one of Kris's hirdmen now, as well as one of his close friends – along with the other five.
Kris shook his head – enough musings, his men were tired and wounded, as was his ship. They needed a safe haven, at least for a few days. But he didn't know these waters well: perhaps Jolaf the Pilot did. Quietly, trying not to disturb those who were sleeping, Kris went aft, nodding to those who were awake.
"We need to moor somewhere, Kristein hofðing," Jolaf said once Kris had come close. "And soon."
"I know, Pilot. Do you know a good haven nearby?"
Jolaf looked at the stars for a while, then answered: "The island of Four Cliffs is close. It is ruled by Torgeir hersir. Last time I heard, he was a fair man, respecting the laws of hospitality."
"We'll take a chance then."
Torgeir hersir sat in his room in the main house and watched his wife, Freidis, talk with the Runes. He hoped they would give some advice to her, because he didn't know what to do. Runolf Raudsson would attack soon, and Torgeir just didn't have enough men to protect his land.
The hersir sighed heavily. Ever since his son, Stigandr, had perished in the sea last summer, together with the best of their warriors, Torgeir had been feeling his age weighing him down. Stigandr's widow was a strong-willed woman, and their son was a bright boy, but they still were just a woman and a boy, and he was an old man. Even if they managed to defeat Runolf, what did the future held for them?
Freidis put the Runes back into the bag, and looked at her husband, smiling.
"What do they say?" Torgeir asked hopefully.
"Lay your fears to rest, Torgeir hersir," she said with a small smile. "The hope is coming, on Raven's wings."

It sounds like you could perhaps do even better than a reduced charge; how about a "Not Guilty" veridct from a jury? Sometimes a jury is easier to reason with than the prosecutor, who holds all the cards when it comes to deciding what charges will be pursued, and whether to offer a reduced charge.Ask a similar question
You can always avoid all penalties of a DUI by going to trial and winning. While Illinois requires 48 hours of jail on any sentence of a second DUI. Many times a lawyer may help you avoid this by asserting that the arrest constituted one day served in jail, and that you should get day for day credit, so that the 48 hour requirement is satisfied.
Whether the prosecution offers a reduction of the charges is totally up to them. They will consider the facts of the case and determine whether to make that offer. Many jurisdictions are refusing to reduce charges on a second DUI for their own reasons. Talk to your lawyer they will be able to help you through that process.Ask a similar question

Unintentionally PurposefulMature
"Sorry Linda, I'm late. The bus took forever." Kristen looked up from her bag with her student pass in hand, confused. She brushed her loose brown strands from her eyes, "Oh sorry. I forgot Linda left. Hi, um, I need to register late and my timetable. Sorry."
"Student pass?" Kristen handed it to, what was her name again? Jenna... Joanna...? Jeez, can't remember. Jessica handed her printed out timetable to Kristen without a word
"Right, thanks." Kristen walked away from the hostile new secretary and rushed to English room 404, she could feel her hair coming loose and sticking to her face with the sweat.
Kristen carefully opened the door hoping Mr. Scott would forgive her, "Sorry I'm late." She walked in and took a seat on the third row. Mr. Scott just looked at her and waited for her to sit down and sort her books.
"Not such a great start to your senior year, don't you think? Have you registered in late?" Mr. Scott asked abruptly. He didn't look angry, rather expressionless really. Kristen had never seen his face properly, he had started at the school at the beginning of the second semester last year and all she really knew about him was that he was 29 years old.
"Sorry. I registered just now." Kristen was taken aback a little not sure of how he felt. The teacher walked towards her with a book in hand and plopped it onto her desk. 'The Essays of E.B. White.' As Mr. Scott walked back, his ass is nice. Of course deep down she thought Dominic's was nicer.

While Orlovsky is clearly better than Painter was in his last few weeks, he's not better than Painter was in his first four games.

Maturing Johnson set for PGA Tour return
(Reuters) - Dustin Johnson will return to the PGA Tour at next month's Farmers Insurance Open in San Diego, ending a six-month leave of absence from golf to seek help for "personal challenges".
Tournament organizers announced the American's commitment to the Feb. 5-8 event and Johnson on Saturday told Golfweek magazine it was time for him "to grow up" and get back to competitive golf.
Johnson's unexpected absence began after the Canadian Open in late July and he said he has since been working hard with a team of top clinicians, including a life coach.
"I try not to get too emotional, whether it's going really well or going really bad," Johnson, an eight-times winner on the PGA Tour, said. "I always try to stay even keel -- which is great for golf, but it isn't always great for life.
"I knew I wasn't happy, but until I started talking through it and working with some of the people that I did, I didn't really realize it. It's been a huge help, a huge relief, understanding that.
"It was time to grow up," he said. "I'm feeling good. I can't go out and say 'I'm going to win this tournament', but I just want to compete and put myself in position to have a chance."
When Johnson announced his decision to step away from golf, rumors about his lifestyle swirled, prompted by a Golf.com article alleging he had been suspended by the PGA Tour for six months after a third failed drug test, and a second for cocaine.
The PGA Tour, which had initially said it did not comment on rumors or speculation, released another statement a few hours later saying that Johnson had taken a voluntary leave of absence and had not been suspended.
Earlier this week, Johnson told ESPN that drugs "didn't really have a role in my life" and that his main weakness had been vodka. Continued...

Pipes Vs Bongs
Category: Culture | Posted on Sun, October, 13th 2013 by THCFinder
There are many stoners that really love their glass. Of course, there are so many different kinds to choose from. This piece will go through the pipes and the bongs... Which one is better? Stoners everywhere will have a different opinion. There are pros and cons to each. In the end, it's up to you!
Pipes are classic. They come in all shapes and sizes, not to mention colors. Bowls are easy to hide because they're usually pretty small. Of course, there are bowls that are enormous but they usually only exist in memes about Snoop Dogg. A bowl is an easy thing to transport. Most can fit in a pocket or purse. However, the unfortunate part of bowls is that unless you have a screen, there's usually some pull through and you end up with charred pieces of bud in your mouth. Nobody wants that! Bowls don't offer any sort of filtration either, so the hits are sometimes quite harsh.
Bongs are smooth hitters, bigger in size with water filtration. Mostly, bongs are for seasoned smokers and shouldn't be attempted by newbies. There are hundreds of different kinds of bongs. The water provides a way to avoid getting ash in your mouth, plus it cools the smoke. But being as large as they are, bongs are extremely hard to hide. This means that people in dorms or small apartments or those who live with their parents should steer clear of these masterpieces until they're in a situation where the piece can be displayed properly.
Whether you're smoking bongs or pipes, it all depends on how you're feeling! Some prefer bongs and some prefer pipes! I strongly recommend that people stick to their comfort zone when it comes to glass like this though. Having a large bong isn't impressive if you can't clear it. I can't stress this enough. Get a piece that fits you, not one to impress friends! This should be something you want to smoke every single day, not a piece that you're afraid of.
Industrial Hemp Surges Forward
Category: Culture | Posted on Sun, October, 13th 2013 by THCFinder
Medical usage aside, the plant we love has a closely related relative that produces an amazing fiber that can be used for pretty much everything. From fuel to fabric, hemp is better than any material we use today. It grows faster, healthier, and takes up less space than our current crops. But since the hemp and marijuana plant are so similar, hep production is illegal... Or it was. Recently, along with the push for medical marijuana, there is also a push for hemp.
California recently passed a bill to allow hemp production. This means farmers will be able to break in to a $500 million industry that will save us thousands of dollars in paper, oil, fabric, and land. California lawmakers claim that there is no reason that hemp should be illegal, since it doesn't contain THC, which is the component in the plant that gets you high. Not only has California jumped on this hemp producing bandwagon, but there are nine other states that allow the production of hemp. There are also another 30 countries that produce the plant and manufacture it.
By allowing the production of hemp, we lessen the need for crops like corn. Hemp takes much less water to grow than corn. The hemp plants also have no need for pesticides or growth hormones, as they grow extremely fast. Hemp has an incredibly long list of uses, not only for industrial products but for fashion, food, and disease. Not being able to produce hemp is serious defect in the economy. By saving both land and water, we clear room for animals to live because we all know that the human race is not-so-slowly encroaching on animal territory. Hemp would allow us to have a more naturally sustaining economy because it can be used for so many products.
The human population is expanding every day. If more states allow for the production of hemp, we can begin to use it for things that we normally wouldn't use it for. Now that cultivation of the plant is legal, more studies can be done on it to see what other amazing benefits it holds for us to discover. The cannabis plant is always showing us new ways that it can help us. How long is it going to take for people to really grasp the fact that cannabis can genuinely help the human race improve?
Lighters Or Hemp Wick
Category: Culture | Posted on Sat, October, 12th 2013 by THCFinder
Most people are aware that when they smoke weed, they get some of the residue from the butane in their lighters. This makes up a lot of what's left in your bowl after a while (resin... which is why it's not that good to smoke). Butane definitely messes with the taste of the weed that you're smoking. It's also not that good for you. To avoid getting that gross butane taste, there's hemp wick.
Hemp wick is a wick coated with beeswax. It's natural, so there's none of that butane taste because it's just a wick. It works best when wrapped around a lighter so that you can easily light the wick and hold it to light the bowl. This way, instead of inhaling harmful chemicals, you're getting a much cleaner hit. When you take a hit of some dank with wick instead of a lighter, it's amazing. You can totally taste the weed, without that sour/harsh butane taste.
By choosing to use hemp wick rather than a lighter, you're smoking healthier and cleaner. You don't need to use the lighter are much when smoking a bowl because the wick stays lit when it's passed from person to person. You're also able to actually taste the buds the way they're supposed to be tasted. There is no harsh aftertaste when you smoke with hemp wick.
While most people do use lighters because they're convenient, it is definitely healthier to use the wick. Inhaling butane has serious effects on the lungs and can give massive headaches when too much is ingested. That applies more to badly made BHO but either way, this chemical isn't good for you. Smoke healthier by using hemp wick, which can be bought at almost every head shop. I promise that you'll enjoy smoking with wick much more than a lighter and your lungs with thank you!
Weed In The Music Industry
Normal people get arrested for smoking weed but celebrities - now more than ever - have begun to adopt marijuana in to their lyrics and music videos. From A$AP Rocky to Xzibit, music is a key part in the spread of marijuana knowledge. Even if the weed is just in the form of a blunt in a rappers hand, it's showing that "hey, we're successful and important and we smoke weed".
Recently, Justin Bieber has been caught with pot. While most people don't like Bieber, he's been on a rampage with Mary Jane, with weed on his tour bus at the Canadian border and smoke pouring out of his car windows when he rolls up to his private jet. A child star beginning to experiment with pot (and openly) could be a seriously useful weapon for the cause in the future. While singing "Baby, baby, baby" will get a water bottle thrown at his head, Bieber doesn't have to worry about us stoners getting mad when he show up on the web smoking a blunt.
Music is a huge way for people to understand the wonders of marijuana. The catchy beats make the lyrics stick in a person's mind and that's the goal. Getting people to talk about marijuana is just another way to educate people. By singing positive messages about weed, musicians can help to promote that it's a good thing. Plus, music videos are always cool when there's someone famous smoking a blunt, sitting on a dope muscle car, as seems to be commonplace in the video industry these days.
As more musicians come forth with their favoritism of the ganja, we can be assured that their message will reach huge audiences. While Cypress Hill has been rapping about smoking for years, it's the newer generations that need to be listening to some stoner beats. Not all of the younger kids will want to listen to Snoop and Bob Marley. Music changes with the generations and if marijuana is going to continue to permeate the industry, the songs are going to have to mold with the changes of society. Instead of heavy beats and rap music, marijuana may be mentioned in the poppy, upbeat songs of Miley Cyrus and the like.
Bongs vs Vaporizers
For the advanced smokers, bongs and vaporizers are preferred. Both apparatuses smoke hard and will get you higher than the clouds. I don't recommend either for the novice smokers. For those who love to get baked, however, it's always a debate between the vape and the bong.
Most smokers are partial to the glass bongs. They're beautiful to look at and awesome to smoke. The water helps to cool the smoke before it enters your lungs. Also, hits from the bong (ha!) are huge clouds that not only get you super stoned, but look good in those Instagram pictures! ;) Smoking a bong with friends is also a really great way to relax, unwind, and reconnect.
Vaporizers are a GREAT way to smoke. Not only do they hit hard, they get you super baked, AND you can reuse the weed after you've vaporized it. Vaporized weed is great to use in food. While you need more of it to create a high, it's good to at least try to recycle. Vaporizers are portable, easy to clean, and now, they even come in the shape of e-cigs. No one will know if it's weed or tobacco that you're puffing on.
While bongs are great, vaporizers might take the cake on this one. Being able to reuse weed is awesome, especially if you don't have a lot of money to spend on bud. It's a good idea to keep a bag or a jar of vaped weed around, just in case you feel like making some bud brownies in the future. However, there's nothing wrong with having both a bong and a vaporizer in your collection. Most stoners do have both and use them both on the regular. With that said, I think I'm about to pack the vaporizer!
Former NFL Player: Cannabis Was To Me, What Spinach Was To Popeye
Ricky Williams, a former NFL (National Football League) player who won aHeisman Trophy in college and was selected as the first pick in the NFL draft, recently compared his cannabis use to Popeye's use of spinach, implying that it significantly improved his performance, according to USA Today.
The comment came during an interview with Campus Insiders. He was asked if his cannabis use – which led to multiple suspensions during his career in the NFL – slowed him down at all, and if it was an Achilles heel for him.
"I don't agree that it was an Achilles heel, I kind of think it was more like spinach for Popeye," he replied.
Williams also made news last month, when a former Miami Dolphins teammate told the press that Williams consumed cannabis before games on multiple occasions.
Williams joined an elite list of NFL running Backs in 2003 when he become one of only several players in the league's history to rush for over 200 yards in a game.
