No... No Please, God No!Mature
Shooting awake, the mountain man reached for his companion.
The wolf looked at the mountain man as if to say, and the mountain man heard him say "What's the matter?"
He replied, "A nightmare… That is all."
"Tell me?"
Silas sighed.
"It's a dream I have had since I was young… I dream of a series of trials in hell. And I am in a room full of flames. And I must survive, while I am cooked. Burned and turned to ash."
"That's awful."
"Yes… it is."
Silas and Sirius knew that sound well.
He had been growing to this mountain as any tree would. He found comfort in knowing he could harm no more. In knowing he was no longer afraid. Comfortable in knowing he has a friend. It is a joy Silas had not known since childhood.
He still missed Anne terribly, and he spoke to her every night through the stars, but the silence of this paradise kept him from wishing his own death. Something he has not done since he found this place.
But thinking about Anne, and reliving that nightmare once again, he was left feeling vulnerable.
Silas buried his face in his hands and wept.
Sirius climbed to his friend's lap and laid down, trying to comfort his friend.
Whimpering, his ears fell to the side and his tail fell limp.
The mountain man stopped crying when he heard the wolf's whimper.
"How rude of me, I'm sorry, Sirius. It was only a dream. No need to be worried."
His wolf licked his cheek and Sirus smiled. "Thank you, my friend."
They had known each other for some years. Sirius knew how to stop his friend's woe.
It was a quiet night from then on, and a quiet morning after that.
They wanted to liven up the afternoon, and so they did while they walked around the land they had grown to fondly call their home.
Sometimes, Silas made up songs that made no sense. Sometimes, he made up words that made no sound. Sometimes, the sounds he made, sense or no sense, were made of no words, and no cause. Simply , he would conduct a random act of music.
Sirius seemed to like it, so Silas always did it.
"Alem ba la she do dee dee, dee do.
Silas and his friend are here to sing to you.
Silas sings a la la la and sings the note its true.
And Sirius, my wolfy friend will sing to you, aruuu"
And Sirius yowled a loud "ARUUU", tail wagging and Silas pat his friend firmly on the head.
He chuckled and lied down in the grass as Sirius stretched out on his belly and the two looked up and watched clouds pass by.
The sound of a snapping twig stopped their silent fun.
Sirius growled.
Silas stood up, "Is someone there?"
"Out of the way!" A hunter jumped out of the shrubs with a rifle aimed squarely at Sirius.
Silas looked at his friend, then at the wolf.
The hunter's hand pulled the trigger tight, and a man screamed.
That night, Silas would weep once again.

Gen. David Petraeus Is Now a USC Professor
Petraeus with Paula Broadwell
Retired four-star Gen. David Petraeus, who resigned in disgrace as director of the CIA following revelations that he carried on an affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell, has landed in Southern California.
USC announced just after midnight that the architect of the American "counterinsurgency" in Iraq will take on a number of duties on campus as ...
... a Judge Widney Professor, which the university says in a statement is ...
... a title reserved for eminent individuals from the arts, sciences, professions, business and community and national leadership. Judge Robert Maclay Widney was USC's founder.
Petraeus will teach, participate in seminars and mentor ROTC members, according to the school.
USC notes that the former West Point instructor has a Ph.D. and adds that the general "is interested in exploring whether such leadership heralds the start of what he calls the 'North American Decades.' "
Noted historian Kevin Starr, a USC professor, says:
The appointment of General Petraeus as a Judge Widney Professor at USC will add transformative energy to our teaching and research in international relations, government, economics, management, defense studies and military science -- fields mastered by this clear-thinking, jargon-free polymath.

The school doesn't mention the Broadwell affair that forced an end to Petraeus' intelligence job, but it does say he was praised "for the critical and historic role he played in stabilizing Iraq."
True that.
The general is not the first controversial government figure to find a soft landing in SoCal academia. By far.
Kenneth Starr, who laid the groundwork for the impeachment of President Bill Clinton, ended up at Malibu's Pepperdine University, where he was dean of its School of Law, before moving on to the top job as president of Baylor University in 2010.
Petraeus, meanwhile, gave this canned quote:
I am very grateful to have an opportunity to be part of a great university that prizes academic excellence, that is doing cutting-edge research in areas of enormous importance to our country, and that is known for steadfast support of its veterans and ROTC programs.

The strange Man
He quickly turned around and saw a man standing near the window inside his room. The man stared at him with desperation in his eyes. He was a older man with a black coat that was torn. In only a few seconds he could easily tell he's been through a lot, especially by the look on his face, it was like someone just died. His face was a mess and his short black hair was all but neat. The man stood there out of breath staring at him. As soon as there eyes met the man spoke as if it was a life or death situation,
"Is it you? it must be, come, I've got to get you out of here!"
The boy looked confused and didn't say a word at first. His eyes went straight for the knife that was thrown across the room. The man turned around, he started to leave. He assumed that the boy would cooperate because of the urgency of the matter and how he conveyed it but it didn't seem that way. The boy got up and went for the knife to pick it up, in one quick motion, he pointed it at the man ready to strike. The boy no longer cared about dieing because the focus was now on this mysterious man and not his goal of jumping off a building. The man who was about to climb out the window stopped and turned around to see what was going on. The man looked at the knife then into the boys eyes with confusion.

Great questions, all of them. Honestly, we were on the fence about it. We've seen it both ways and really, both are commonly accepted spellings of this word. In an instance such as duffle we might speak the word without really ever considering its actual spelling.
You may ask, why all the nitpicking over the spelling of a word? Now, none of us at North St. are linguists, per se, but when creating products and choosing naming conventions we end up throwing our hat into the ring of public opinion and we inevitably take a linguistic stand in our choice of duffle vs. duffel.
Neither choice is wrong, and we're not claiming we're particularly correct, but our choice came down to some research and then our own comfort and gut sense about what felt natural.
For us, it was growing up with a particular spelling and what we were comfortable with. Duffle is an Anglicized version of the word which comes from the Belgian town, Duffel, where a coarse woolen fabric used in coats and blankets originated. This fabric was eventually used to make large gear bags and the term duffel bag was born.
In keeping with the English language tradition to complicate words and create their own standard, duffle eventually became an alternate spelling and was used fairly frequently. That's the version that we grew up with and it somehow made more sense to us when comparing other similar suffixes of words like scuffle, truffle, shuffle, ruffle, kerfuffle just to name a few.
So, we don't mean to be difficult, nor overly opinionated, but we're sticking with duffle and we'll keep on making them here in Portland, Oregon and as always we'll guaranty them for life.
[editor note: that last part was also meant as a joke about the usage of guarantee vs. guaranty. Nerdy to say the least, we know...]
As you probably already know, we make all of our bicycle panniers, duffle bags, totes, backpacks, and hip packs in house in Portland, Oregon from Made in USA materials. This is a fact of which we are incredibly proud. It's a matter of principle, convenience, sustainability, scalability upon which our business is built and firmly rooted.
So...we decided we wanted to make some bandanas to add some merch to our lineup. It seemed a simple enough of an idea. Lots of people use them and we wanted to up our accessories game a little bit. Our brand awareness is growing and there are fans out there that would cherish a limited run bandana adorned with a cool print and the North St. logo.
In our minds we picture Dr. Alan Grant from Jurassic Park wearing one as a neckerchief while simultaneously looking debonair and down to earth--a near impossible task to pull off.
We thought it would be simple to make happen. As it turns out not so much.
We were in search of a USA made 100% cotton fabric with a tight weave that would allow us to screenprint our unique design. As we work with 1000 denier CORDURA® nylon and heavy duty #10 duck canvas to make our bags, we were lacking the specific machinery and tooling for a couple of key fine finishing steps to make bandanas.
Accordingly, we were seeking out some pre-made bandana blanks that we would be able to send to our (awesome) screenprinter here in Portland, Oregon. After doing some research online and making a few phone calls we found that not only were there next to zero options for USA made bandana blanks (pre cut and edge finished), much less no tightly woven cotton fabric in bulk available.
We were perplexed.
After some headscratching, we called up Bandanaman.com to see what they might say. Now we're paraphrasing here, but we learned that the machinery for this type of textile weaving is virtually non-existent in the United States. According to our friends at Bandanaman, after the passage of the Environmental Protection Act in 1970, near the entirety of denim and woven cotton manufacturing industry was shut down in the US and pushed overseas. Apparently it is near impossible to source fabric for bandanas (a lightweight, tightly woven, cotton fabric) of any quality in the United States. In fact, Pakistan, Turkey, China, and Vietnam are the leading production locales.
This project was still important for us to pull off, so we sourced some Midnight Blue blanks from Bandanaman and sent them to our printer here in Portland. We are pleased with the end result but we have aspirations to provide a fully USA made product for our fans.
If anyone has any suggestions or leads on high quality 100% cotton bandana fabric made in the USA, please drop us a line at email@example.com.

The Woodward Backpack Pannier is a waterproof bike bag built for on and off the bike use. Like everything else we make, it's built from 1000 denier CORDURA® brand nylon and uses a waterproof X-Pac™ sailcloth for a drop-in liner.
We didn't invent the category of a backpack / pannier 2 in 1 combo bag, but we like to think we've somewhat refined and raised the bar of its design. For the Woodward, the biggest selling point for our users is the speed at which the bag transforms from pannier to backpack and back.
Check out the video below to help understand the conversion process.

In just the latest sign that Portland has gone head-over-heels for bike share, a local company has added a Biketown-specific bag to their product line.
Southeast Portland-based North St. Bags has adapted their "Tabor Tote" model to fit snugly into the front rack of a Biketown bike. The new "Townie Tote" comes in two colors familiar to Biketown users: dark grey and Nike orange. Other features in the new, Biketown-edition Tabor Tote are an internal zippered pocket, reflective side tabs, and an optional set of straps that will attach the bag to the rack. The bag has a 25-liter capacity and is made from 1000 denier Cordura nylon.
North St.'s new tote will sell for $45 (the straps are an extra $10). Kevin Murphy, the company's product marketing manager, said the bag will be available soon on the company's website. They're showing it off to Biketown staffers today and they hope to make it available direct from the BiketownPDX.com website. Murphy says he's heard grumblings from local bike shops about the loss of business due to Biketown, so he thinks offering the Townie Tote might be one way for shops to draw bike share customers in.
Murphy also said since the Biketown racks are similar on all the bike share systems that use bikes made by Social Bicycles, they can easily work with other cities as well.
Is this the first in a long line of products to complement the emerging "bike share lifestyle" market? Which company will be next to capitalize on this new transit system that has taken Portland by storm?
Here are a few more images:
Curtis Williams launched North St. in his home in 2009 using a sewing machine he bought off Craigslist. Today his company has grown to eight employees and his bags are sold by over 60 dealers and distributors around the globe. All of their products are made in a 1,200 square foot space just off of Southeast Clinton at 23rd that includes a retail store, offices, and a full production facility. Check out the rest of their offerings at NorthStBags.com.

Don't count out the tote -- nothing beats the convenience of one on a weekend road trip. And the abuse-ready North St. Tabor Tote, made from 1,000-denier Cordura, hauls 63 liters of gear while looking cooler than most others. $59; northstbags.com
--Men's Journal September 2016
For years, North St. Bags has been known for its stylish and highly functional waterproof bike panniers and backpacks. We are especially known for our convertible backpack panniers built for use on and off the bicycle.
Our capacity to build high quality bags in-house truly differentiates our company from many other brands that rely on outsourcing their production--often times overseas. Additionally, our choice to use Made in USA materials like 1000 denier CORDURA® brand nylon and X-Pac™ waterproof sailcloth, reinforces our strong value offering and is the reason we wanted to expand our product line into arenas beyond the bicycle commuter market.
We took our years of production experience and launched several new models of bags, including our line of Scout Duffle bags, Buckman Gear Bags, and our favorite, the Tabor Totes.
Tote bags offer a simple means to pack and carry all sorts of gear and are truly the simplest bag design there is. By choosing 1000 denier CORDURA® and heavy weight #10 cotton duck canvas (coming soon!) for our shells we have built a tough, durable, and water resistant utility bag, capable of withstanding lots of abuse. We also chose to build our Extra Large Tabor Tote with a capacity that is simply huge. At nearly 63 liters volume, this bag is able to haul as much as you're likely able to lift. It's deep and plenty wide and with solid inch and a half nylon webbing straps it's comfortable slung over one shoulder or over both shoulders like a backpack if needed. Both straps also offer key lash points on the front to secure a carabiner or key chain as needed. We included a nice packcloth drop liner and a zippered internal pocket as well to secure phone, keys, and wallet when on the go.
Days at the beach, camping trips, large grocery hauls, or filling these bags with ice and your favorite canned beverages are all part of the daily duty of the Tabor Totes. We even built one specifically to fit Portland's very own BIKETOWN bike share bikes (built by Social Bicycles), so that tourists and locals alike can more easily carry their essentials around town on the bike. Our Townie Tote has quickly become the unofficial BIKETOWN bag in no time. Featuring a pattern specific to the to be compatible with the front rack on bikes from Social Bicycles, this bag will also likely work with other SoBi systems around the globe. Reflector tabs, a snap closure, and optional secure lash straps are extras that we added to the design to make this the simplest drop-in and go bag offering for the best bike share systems around.
Learn more about the Tabor Totes HERE and find your own bike share compatible Townie Tote HERE.
North St. Buckman Gear Bags
When you finish a ride, your gear is wet and you need to shove it in your backpack, sometimes the moisture can transfer onto the surrounding things in your backpack. North St. has solved this problem with the Buckman gear bags, a waterproof bag made to keep the moisture in or the moisture out while inside your backpack. Made from a ripstop nylon sailcloth, this bag has inside seams and a drawstring closure for a durable, yet trusty bag made in Portland, Oregon.

Action Needed to Stop Steep Hike in Medicare Costs
By David Lipschutz, Senior Policy Attorney
Center for Medicare Advocacy
Due to a number of converging factors, 2016 Medicare Part B premiums are projected to dramatically increase for some Medicare beneficiaries, and the Part B deductible is projected to dramatically increase for everyone – unless Congress acts to fix it.
On October 15th – the same day that the Medicare Open Enrollment period began, which allows people to make changes to their Medicare Advantage and Part D plans – the Social Security Administration announced that there will be no Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for 2016. Although the Medicare program has not yet released the official 2016 Part B premium and deductible amounts, this announcement makes it much more likely that these unprecedented increases will occur.
According to the 2015 Medicare Trustees Report, Part B premiums are expected to increase for 30% of beneficiaries by 52% – from $104.90 to $159.30 per month. The trustees also predict that this increase will be accompanied by an increase in the Part B deductible for everyone – up to $223 from $147.
Because there will be no COLA next year, 70% of beneficiaries who have their Part B premiums deducted from their Social Security checks will be protected by a "hold harmless" provision of the Medicare statute, meaning their premiums will stay at the same rate next year ($104.90).
That means the increased costs will be borne by the 30% of individuals described below, rather than a lower amount spread across the entire Medicare population.
The 30% of affected individuals are: o those who will be new Medicare enrollees in 2016; o those with income-related premiums (incomes higher than $85,000 for individuals); o those beneficiaries who pay their premiums directly instead of having it deducted from their Social Security checks (or those who don't collect Social Security, such as certain government employees); and o individuals dually eligible for Medicare and Medicaid (these costs will be paid for by state Medicaid agencies rather than individuals).
There is no "hold harmless" provision that applies to the deductible, so the projected increase from $147 in 2015 to $223 in 2016 (an increase of $76) will apply to all Medicare beneficiaries. While many Medicare beneficiaries have supplemental or other coverage that includes coverage of the deductible, state Medicaid agencies, employer plans, and certain Medigap plan carriers will pay these increased costs which could, among other things, affect premiums. Those without any supplemental coverage that covers the Part B deductible will pay the full amount.
It will take action by Congress in order to prevent these steep increases from occurring. So far, bills have been introduced in both the House and Senate that would hold everyone "harmless" from these premium and deductible increases: "Protecting Medicare Beneficiaries Act of 2015" (S. 2148) introduced by Senator Ron Wyden, and "Medicare Premium Fairness Act of 2015" (H.R. 3696) introduced by Rep. Dina Titus. Whether and when Congress will act, remains to be seen.

Just a few weeks ago, our head designer, Wayne, participated in the Three Peaks cycling competition, a 90 kilometer ride over three mountains 2200 meters up. It was all he could talk for weeks leading up to the ride, inviting several friends (including myself) to go with him. I happened to already have plans, but he did manage to round up four people to sign up with him. They trained for weeks and Wayne seemed ready.
Then, the day of the race, the skies opened up and started pouring. Of the original 2,400 people signed up for the ride, only 800 showed up. But, Wayne and his diehard riding buddies were all there, rain jackets, waterproof pants and all (he admitted to me after the race that if his friends hadn't signed up he wouldn't have gone at all). It was only 15 degrees that morning and the rain had saturated every inch, seeping in his jacket and shoes within the first 20 minutes of the ride.
Just one hour in, another cyclist slid across the road in front of him and was nearly hit by an oncoming car. Luckily, no one was seriously injured. Wayne rode on steadily but carefully. He said the only thing pushing him through the downpour was the thought of passing the next person in front of him. And so, soaked to the bone and half-frozen, he crossed the finish line five hours later, finishing 6th. A little under half an hour later, all of his friends had crossed the line and they all went for a drink to warm up.
Maybe you aren't signed up for a 5 hour race in the rain, but there are times we all get caught in a downpour. So here's a few tips to keep dry, warm and safe if you're ever caught out in bad weather.
- Jacket - light, breathable, waterproof, tapered seams
- Pants - long, lightweight, mesh lining, pockets
- Overshoes - stretch, non-zip, neoprene
- Socks - long, breathable, waterproof
- Waterproof bag - top rolls down for added protection
- Clear glasses to protect your eyes
Prepping your Bike:
- Decrease tire pressure to boost traction
- Make sure to apply lots of chain lube
- Watch your brake pads

Doctor Answers 3
When trying to narrow the intermammary distance
the widest implants for the volume you want must be used. Now that you're post-op, would you like to go larger or not? If so, a larger, wider implant would help but your nipples may lateralize a little as the majority of the implant will be medial to it. If you don't want new implants, you can, as suggested by the others, have fat grafting to the medial poles to diminish the space.
Space between breast implants
If you have a large space between your breasts, a breast augmentation will not necessarily narrow that space. Cleavage is not something that implants can create, however, a fat transfer to that area can make some very nice improvements. Discuss this with your plastic surgeon in person to determine if you are a good candidate for this procedure.
Best wishes,
Best wishes,
Some women naturally have a wide gap between their breasts which may not change after surgery. If the implants were placed behind the muscle, the gap will probably remain the same. Sometimes fat transfers can improve that area, but you must have fat available to transfer. I would suggest discussing your concerns with your surgeon.

1 Shumon could use his project management skills to become a locality officer for a council youth support service. He would earn from £30,783 to £33,392 and be expected to manage and be responsible for commissioned services to ensure positive outcomes for young people. He would have responsibility for quality control.
2 Shumon might consider becoming a local authority youth participation officer, earning from £36,447. In this senior management role he would be responsible for making sure that children and young people have a say in the way their services are developed. He would evaluate participation activity and share good practice with service providers and the children's trust. His skill in engaging with children and young people is crucial.
3 A new career in learning and development services for young people is an option. It is a good choice because these roles are being expanded with new career paths being introduced. Earning £28,000 as a mentor support worker for a charity helping 16- to 24-year-olds to enter training, education or employment is a possibility. Shumon would be a key worker and would work one-on-one helping a young person become more employable.
4 A new professional status in youth work, being launched later this year, will recognise the skills of an experienced youth worker and graduate such as Shumon. This means he could remain where he is and persuade his employer to support him in achieving youth professional status. As one of the first to achieve this new ranking it would help him climb the career ladder in youth work, although it is unclear whether the status automatically means a higher salary.
5 For a more drastic career change Shumon might become a children and families social worker. The national shortage should make it easy to find an opening. He would need to complete a postgraduate qualification in social work but would be likely to be funded by his employer. Newly qualified social workers are being offered extra support and new ways of working are being developed. Qualified social workers can earn from £28,000, more in London and areas facing a recruitment shortage.

Sally W. Derrick
Loving Mother and Grandmother
WAYNESVILLE — Sally Marie Woodall Derrick, 81, of Balsam View Drive, passed away on Sunday, Oct. 9, 2016, at The Homestead.
Sally was born in Jackson County and was the daughter of the late Johnny William and Elsie Smathers Woodall. She was also preceded in death by a daughter, Joy Woods; a half-sister, Louise Stiwinter; and Walter Newman Derrick, the father of her children.
Sally began her career at Hemlock Nursing Home (now known as Autumn Care Nursing Home) where she started as a nursing assistant and was promoted to medication administrator and retired from the Dietary Department after 31 years. After her retirement, she returned to Autumn Care and volunteered in the Activity Department for a short time. She soon began working in the Foster Grandparent Program for Mountain Projects' Daycare.
Sally was very gifted and talented utilizing her time sewing, cooking, canning, crafting, playing the piano and singing. She loved animals and God's creation of the beautiful Appalachian Mountains where she was born and raised. She taught her children a strong work ethic and encouraged them on their journey through life to love others.
God showed us, through her, how to be strong as we go through transitions, as she always faced adversity with a positive attitude. She brought joy and laughter to everyone and her time was most enjoyed being with her family. She was a member of Balsam Missionary Baptist Church.
Sally is survived by her daughters, Pamela "Pam" Derrick, of Waynesville, and Angela "Angie" Derrick Toomey and her husband, Ralph, of the Bald Creek community; grandson, Steven Woods and his wife, Kara, and their sons, Justin Woods, and Seth and Logan Hardin; a nephew, Glenn Stiwinter Jr. She dearly loved her first cousin, who she called sister, Velma Lowry; and Bob Smathers, who she loved like a brother.
Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 13, 2016 in the Waynesville Chapel of Wells Funeral Home with Rev. Billy Ferguson officiating. Burial will follow at Balsam Missionary Baptist Church Cemetery. The family will receive friends from 6:00 until 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday at the funeral home.

225 Years of Service: The U.S. Army, 1775-2000
Included on the Chief of Staff of the Army's recommended reading list, this concise account by David W. Hogan, Jr., of the United States Army's Center of Military History gives a brief overview of how the Army has served the nation since the formation of George Washington's Continental Army on 14 June 1775, covering not only the Army's distinguished performance in America's major conflicts but also its conduct of several other military and non-military missions throughout American history. During the nation's early years, the Army contributed greatly to national development through exploration, relations with Native Americans, road and building construction, and the assertion of national authority. As the nation became a more complex industrial society and a superpower in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the Army's list of missions expanded to include expeditions to foreign lands, military government of colonial and occupied territories, scientific and medical research and development, flood control and disaster relief, the assimilation of different ethnic and racial groups, greater opportunities for women, and aid to disadvantaged elements of society. At each stage of the growth of the republic, it shows the broader context in which the Army operated and the demands that the nation placed on its military. It describes how the Army's conduct of America's wars helped to achieve national objectives. At the same time, it makes clear that the performance of non-military missions is by no means a new phenomenon for the Army but rather a role that has been with the service since the Revolutionary War--and even before that war, if one includes the tasks of colonial militias. Throughout its history, the Army has also deferred to civilian authority, a distinct achievement in a world beset by coups and the threat of military rule. An addendum by the Chief of Military History relates the Army's history to its current transformation into a force capable of meeting the challenges of the twenty-first century.

A special ceremony was held to honor the remains of Suleyman Shah and his two guards in southeastern Turkey's Sanliurfa province Monday as construction of his new tomb gathered pace at Syria's Ashme town.
Shah was the grandfather of Osman I, the founder of the Ottoman Empire. Turkey had relocated his remains along with his two guards in a special military operation Saturday.
The ceremony was held at a border post in Sanliurfa's Birecik district that began with a moment of silence and the Turkish national anthem. Turkish soldiers paid their respects with a gun salute during the ceremony.
The remains were being temporarily hosted at a building in the post and a Turkish flag was also hoisted outside its entrance.
The two-pronged operation began late Saturday and ended on Sunday. It brought the remains of Shah and sacred relics from the original exclave in Karakozak Village in Munbic, Syria, some 37 kilometers away from the border, to Turkey. At the same time, Turkey also secured another area in Syria, Ashme, close to the border with Turkey to act as Shah's temporary burial place.
The operation involved nearly 600 troops and 39 tanks to retrieve the remains and some 40 soldiers guarding them.
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Sunday that one Turkish soldier died in an accident early in the operation, which otherwise went smoothly without any skirmish or interruption.
The complex at the original burial place has now been rendered unusable on security grounds, and the Turkish special forces unit protecting the area has been brought back to Turkey, the prime minister added.
The operation was conducted due to the rising security concerns over escalating clashes between groups fighting inside the country, mainly threats from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, according to Turkish officials.

FDA Approves Northera to Treat Neurogenic Orthostatic Hypotension »
"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today approved Northera capsules (droxidopa) for the treatment of neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (NOH). NOH is a rare, chronic and often debilitating drop in blood pressure upon standing that is associate"...
Read the FDA Approves Northera to Treat Neurogenic Orthostatic Hypotension article »
The following adverse reactions with NORTHERA are included in more detail in the Warnings and Precautions section of the label:
- Supine Hypertension [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
- Hyperpyrexia and Confusion [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
- May exacerbate existing ischemic heart disease, arrhythmias, and congestive heart failure [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.
The safety evaluation of NORTHERA is based on two placebo-controlled studies 1 to 2 weeks in duration (Studies 301 and 302), one 8-week placebo-controlled study (Study 306), and two long-term, open-label extension studies (Studies 303 and 304). In the placebo-controlled studies, a total of 485 patients with Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, pure autonomic failure, dopamine beta-hydroxylase deficiency, or non-diabetic autonomic neuropathy were randomized and treated, 245 with NORTHERA and 240 with placebo [see Clinical Studies].
Placebo-Controlled Experience
The most commonly observed adverse reactions (those occurring at an incidence of greater than 5% in the NORTHERA group and with at least a 3% greater incidence in the NORTHERA group than in the placebo group) in NORTHERA-treated patients during the three placebo-controlled trials were headache, dizziness, nausea, and hypertension. The most common adverse reactions leading to discontinuation from NORTHERA were hypertension or increased blood pressure and nausea.

Note: n=number of patients. Adverse reactions that were reported in greater than 5% of patients in the NORTHERA group and with at least a 3% greater incidence in the NORTHERA group than in the placebo group were from Study 306.
Long-Term, Open-Label Trials With NORTHERA
In the long-term, open-label extension studies, a total of 422 patients, mean age 65 years, were treated with NORTHERA for a mean total exposure of approximately one year. The commonly reported adverse events were falls (24%), urinary tract infections (15%), headache (13%), syncope (13%), and dizziness (10%).
Postmarketing Experience
The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of NORTHERA. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
Cardiac Disorders: Chest pain
Eye Disorders: Blurred vision
Gastrointestinal Disorders: Pancreatitis, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea
General Disorders and Administration Site Conditions: Fatigue
Nervous System Disorders: Cerebrovascular accident
Psychiatric Disorders: Psychosis, hallucination, delirium, agitation, memory disorder
Read the Northera (droxidopa capsules) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
Drugs That Increase Blood Pressure
Administering NORTHERA in combination with other agents that increase blood pressure (e.g., norepinephrine, ephedrine, midodrine, and triptans) would be expected to increase the risk for supine hypertension.
Parkinson's Medications
Dopa-decarboxylase inhibitors may require dose adjustments for NORTHERA.
Non-selective MAO Inhibitors
The concomitant use of selective MAO-B inhibitors, such as rasagiline or selegiline, was permitted in the NORTHERA clinical trials. However, based on mechanism of action, the use of non-selective MAO inhibitors and linezolid should be avoided as there is a potential for increased blood pressure when taken with NORTHERA.This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

Essential if you have Fibromyalgia or Depression
I was using l-tryptophan (3 grams a day) and it did not help my depression/anxiety. When I switched to this 5-htp it was amazing. I started at 100mg, 3X a day along with 1000 mg L-tyrosine ( 3X day) for one week. Then I went to 5 -htp 100 mg, 4X a day with 1000mg tyrosine, 3X day and withing 3 days at this dosage I felt like myself again and do not feel depressed at ALL! Love that it is enteric coated so no stomach irritation. Take on an empty stomach. Don't forget to add a coenzymated b complex supplement at breakfast and vitamin C. And add extra folate in the form of methylfolate (Solgar brand) as it helps make serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamie.

This is one of the types of 5-HTP recommended by Michael Murray, N.D. in his book, 5-HTP. It does not upset the stomach because it breaks down in the intestinal tract. I have noticed almost immediately a difference in the way I felt, and have overcome my depression fits completely without the aid of antidepressants. I sleep soundly and have been able to control my appetite to the point that I am losing weight! Great product!

I've used this for sleeplessness with good results. I take it at or after dinner and i can fall asleep at the right time. It seems to help with mood and weight control too. This brand seems consistently good quality and the enteric coating works.

My husband and I having been taking 100mg 5-HTP for a few months now and not only has it helped us come off antidepressants without tumbling into despair it has been a wonderful alternative to being on them at all. The enteric coated tabs prevent any tummy troubles and we've both found taking 100mg at bedtime gives us a good night sleep with no 'hangover' in the morning. When we took them during the day we did feel very sleepy - if anxiety or hyper-arousal was an issue this might be useful but we find it hard to get going at the best of times! When "Life" gets a bit tough - we up the dose with the 50mg tabs which seems to flatten out the bumps quite well - some bumps are unflattenable but at least we've got the goods to face it head on and not be crushed by the thought of tackling the big stuff. We both found on anti-depressants that we were in a 'chemical straight-jacket' and far too many 'whatevers' were being mumbled and way too many things went through to the keeper that should of been addressed - we're now in the process of 'mopping up' from a lot of that non-decision making.... I will NEVER go back on anti-depressants again now that I have found a reliable and real alternative. If you're at the point of knowing you need help but aren't really wanting to start on the antidepressant merry-go-round DEFINTELY give 5-HTP a fair go, I wish I'd known about it before I filled the Cymbalta script!!!
Works better than I expected

I've been taking these capsules for a week now. I feel much more calm and relaxed during the day and I sleep better at night. I'm not only more relaxed, but also happier. Yesterday I started singing and dancing in the kitchen as I was making dinner. I haven't done that for 20 years! I'm very surprised that the benefits would be so strong and swift. I was expecting to take them for several weeks before noticing anything. I also notice that I feel a little sleepy during the afternoon. I've started taking the capsules at night to see if that helps. Some folks say that 5-HTP upsets their stomach, but these coated capsules don't affect my stomach at all.

5htp response
Posted by Reviewer2905895 on Apr 23, 2009 | Verified Purchase
I have been taking 5htp for about 6 weeks (100 mg at bedtime) I started taking 5htp to help me sleep, help with headaches and help with stress. My insomnia is so bad that I am taking 2 benadryl with the 5htp. I do seem to fall asleep faster and stay sleeping longer. I am not sure if it is from the benadryl or the 5htp. My headaches have lessened some. The stress is not an imbalance of seratonin so I don't think that much with stress since my problems don't go away but I DO notice that my anxiety level from the stress has lessened since I started taking it. It seems to help me deal with my husband & kids more calmly. I realized it must help when I took 5htp for about 2 weeks and then stopped for about a week or so and my frustration level went sky high. I turned into a monster. Since I've been back on it I feel more calm. It does seem to have curbed my appetite some also. I would not reccommend going off of it at once. I would do it gradually so you don't turn into a monster.

JERUSALEM (AFP) – Israel pledged Monday to build more than 1,000 new settler homes in Arab east Jerusalem, in a move the Palestinians warned was likely to trigger an "explosion" of violence.
The announcement by the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu angered the Palestinians who said it would inflame tensions in the eastern sector of the city which has been plagued by almost daily clashes for the past four months.
"The government has decided to advance the planning of more than 1,000 units in Jerusalem – roughly 400 in Har Homa and about 600 in Ramat Shlomo," a source in Netanyahu's office told AFP.
The news emerged just weeks after hardline settlers took over 35 homes in Silwan, a densely populated Palestinian neighbourhood on the southern edge of the Old City, sparking fury in the West Bank city of Ramallah and condemnation from Washington.
Nabil Abu Rudeina, a spokesman for Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas, said the move was a "dangerous escalation" that could create an "earthquake" in the region.
And Jibril Rajoub, a senior member of Abbas's Fatah faction, warned it would likely fuel further violence.
"Such unilateral acts will lead to an explosion," he said just days after a 21-year-old Palestinian from Silwan rammed his car into a crowd of Israelis, killing an infant and a young woman. "The Israelification of east Jerusalem is the most provocative act for us as Palestinians, as Muslims, as Christians, as Arabs," he said.
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Washington was "deeply concerned" by Israeli settlement plans. "Israel's leaders have said they would support a pathway to a two-state solution, but moving forward with this type of action would be incompatible with the pursuit of peace," she said.
Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that Abbas had called for an emergency UN Security Council session over the east Jerusalem violence, as well as what he termed Israeli "aggression" at the nearby Al-Aqsa compound.
"The root cause (of the ongoing unrest) is the Israeli occupation – the frustration, the disappointment, losing hope in the future are all symptoms of what is going on on the ground," Rajoub said.
"Even the Americans have started to understand that Mr Netanyahu is responsible for what's going on."
Netanyahu denied Israel's actions in east Jerusalem had fuelled anger on the Palestinian street.
"The violence against us is not the result of construction in Jerusalem, it is because of our enemies' desire that we not be here at all," he said, pledging to crack down on the unrest until calm was restored to the city. You cannot build peace on a foundation of lies and illusions. And the root of this conflict always has been and always will be the refusal to recognise the Jewish state in any borders at all."
Over the weekend, police fired teargas at hundreds of Palestinians at a "symbolic funeral" for the perpetrator of Wednesday's car attack, Abdelrahman Shaludi, who was shot by police as he fled and later died of his wounds.
The car attack sparked clashes between stone-throwers and police in Palestinian neighbourhoods which continued until Shaludi was buried late Sunday night under tight security restrictions, with the number of mourners restricted to 50.
Lior Amichai of Israeli settlement watchdog Peace Now said the announcement on construction in Har Homa and Ramat Shlomo was likely to stir tensions.
"There is never a good time to do such things, now more than ever as Jerusalem is burning," he told AFP.

Does it make you feel good?Mature
Does it make you feel good
to be beautiful?
Does it make you smile
deep down inside?
Are you so insecure
that it makes it all right?
Or are you trapped, or don't you know much different?
Does it make your heart sing
when the things your boyfriend likes
are the curves of your figure
or the length of your legs? Are you
solely happy
with the planes of his face?
Or do you sometimes long for something more?
Why can we be lovely
if all we need is sex?
What's the point in feelings
if looks mean more than hearts?
How can we have value
if we don't accept ourselves?
How can we live gladly
with their eyes on our form?
I want my lover soulful, I want
him to be kind; don't want
him to desire me all
of the time.
I know that I'm youthful; I know
it's Nature's way
but I want to not have chosen him
for his physical shape.
When we say angels are 'hot'
I think it's human lust;
Perfection isn't beauty:
it's Deep, Enduring Love.
We shouldn't call our newborns
'adorable' or 'cute' -
the beauty's in the connection
and the product of two hearts.
When we're old and wrinkled
what will matter most?
The men that we have fancied or
the lives that we have led?
Society and Nature may have effects on me
but the truth is I don't like it
and my looks are not my life.
Does it make you feel good
to be beautiful?
My answer to this question is
simply, frankly, "No".

Just saying... such a great feeling. One of the best decisions I've made, as a husband and father of 3 I can't express how much I appreciate the ability to do so.
Sitting here waiting for family to show up for my daughters birthday party with my PM9 in my Silent Thunder, all is quiet and well... just a part of my life like putting on underwear, only it doesn't change every 5 days.
Thanks founding fathers, thanks America, and thanks for those who stand up for our rights and support them.
It's another great day in Minnesota.
So easy to get caught up in what gun, what holster, what method of carry, tight groups, etc... just taking a drama free moment to really appreciate this great right that we have.

And Shepards we shall be, for Thee, my Lord, for Thee,

And we shall flow a river forth to Thee, And teeming with souls shall it ever be,
After a few years I still feel a sense of honor, security and duty. I guess you could sum it up as feeling proud.
Whoa... those are some mouthfuls. I don't see the love, honor, security or duty to carry in a civilian capacity. I certainly do not feel proud about it either.
Why would I feel proud about it? Proud that I can kill someone who's trying to harm me or my family? I find no pride in that. I find no real honor or duty or security or love in that either. A duty to protect my family? Sure. But a duty to carry? No. The firearm may be a tool used in my duty to protect but I do not feel the DUTY to carry.
In fact I can honestly say I do not like to carry. I carry because I understand my limitations and what a great equalizer it can be in the event I have to defend myself but it is a tool.
Like I would feel no love or pride to carry around a screw driver (which, I do, in the form of a multi-tool) I don't know why I should feel any differently about carrying around a gun.
To be honest, I kind of wonder about people who do have strong "happy" feelings regarding carrying a gun. I don't get it.

Lighten up people...I think the original post was referring to the fact that he can now conceal carry in Minn. for the first time. Like the majority here...I do not find any "joy" in CC...... just the thankfulness that we still have a choice to defend ourselves and our loved ones...and pray that day never happens......
"A free people ought to be armed." - George Washington
It is a great feeling knowing you have the means and the power to protect your self. I was out all morning running errands, and i was carrying my full size 1911 in a crossbreed supertuck, it hides so well inside the waste band. I think the most amazing thing to me is that your walking around and past people and they have no clue at all that you have a gun. And yes, i am fairly new to concealed carry also.
I recommend viewing some of nutnfancy's youtube vids as it relates to his opinion about the "Obligation of Carry" and "Concealed Carry Protocol", among his other "philisophical" vids. They properly adjusted my (and my wife's) pov, thinking and attitude about cc.
Although, the novelty of cc may wear off to a degree, I'm with Thunder when it comes to my heartfelt appreciation and gratitude for our freedoms and to those who continue to uphold, protect and fight for them. IMHO, this is STILL "the greatest country on God's green earth" (according to Michael Medved).
"To believe that social reforms can eradicate evil altogether is to forget that evil is a protean creature, forever assuming a new shape when deprived of an old one." - SAT
Never argue with an idiot - they'll bring you down to their level then beat you with experience.
OP, I understand your statement. I know you don't "get off" on carrying, just glad you can and glad to be an American with that right. Carry on my friend. Pay no attention to the masses who must prove they have been carrying since dirt and that somehow makes them better. You'll find a lot of double talk and hypocrisy around here, just wade through it and keep going!
An armed citizen could have saved so many lives on that island in Norway. It is not necessary that everyone carry, but it's good if some of us do.
I see it like lifesaving equipment, an "in case of emergency, break glass" kind of deal. I'm with Lima on this - it isn't a slap-happy "goodtimes!" thing to carry a firearm. And it's actually pretty sad that our society is so dangerous that arming yourself is a prudent measure, if you're up to it.
Yes, congrats to our friends in Minnesota who now have an essential right. Know your law and be safe.
"It may seem difficult at first, but everything is difficult at first."
I agree with JohnWFD...lighten up!
I understand how Thunder71 feels. I'm not new to CCW, but I love my firearm(s)...I'm proud of my Glocks, just like I'm proud of a new chainsaw, or some other new tool.
I'm glad that I have my firearm with me...I go about my business knowing that I have the ability to defend myself...I like that feeling.

Ahead of the 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Germany, Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo said he was "100 per cent fit" for the game and had "nothing to prove" at this World Cup. That was clearly not the case. Portugal's talisman has now scored just two goals in 11 World Cup matches across 2006, 2010 and now 2014, and despite his best efforts, was clearly unable to make a real impression in the Group G opener.
Despite his words, the 29-year-old was still clearly hampered by the tendinosis in his right knee and Pepe's stupid red card in the sweltering Salvador heat didn't help either.
But despite a quick start, where he forced Manuel Neuer into a smart save from a sharp angle, Ronaldo struggled the longer the game went on. The only other time he troubled Neuer was with a well-struck late free-kick when the result was already decided.
Aside from the obvious point that one man scored a hat-trick and the other didn't get on the scoresheet, Ronaldo was outperformed by his opposite number, Thomas Muller.

1/22 Manuel Neuer
Flapped at a couple of shots but saved well from Ronaldo's free-kick late on. Didn't have too much to do in truth. 6/10
2/22 Jerome Boateng
Did fine but will be tested far more in later games. 6
3/22 Per Mertesacker
Solid at the back and dealt with Ronaldo well for first half hour. Had little to do in the second half. 7
4/22 Mats Hummels
Great header for Germany's second and was good at the back all game. 8
5/22 Benedikt Howedes
Got forward all game to good effect and never worried at the back. 7
6/22 Phillip Lahm
Sat very deep early on and mistake nearly gave Ronaldo an opening goal. Fine performance but not up to his usual high standards. 6
7/22 Sami Khedira
Very nearly scored from Patricio's woeful clearance and did well throughout. 7
8/22 Toni Kroos
Quiet night for Kroos but did put in a fine corner for Hummels' goal. 6
9/22 Mario Gotze
Did well thoughout and had several chances to score. 7
10/22 Mesut Ozil
Really looked a threat and could have got a goal but lacked final piece of quality. 7
11/22 Thomas Muller
His superb hat-trick would usually be enough for a higher mark but his play acting to get Pepe sent off was shameful. 8
12/22 Rui Patricio
Awful game in goal and at fault for two of the goals. Nearly gifted Khedira an early goal with woeful clearance, very poor. 4

Gave away the penalty that opened the flood gates for Germany, poor. 4

14/22 Fabio Coentrao
Played well in a tough situation and looks have picked up a nasty hamstring injury. 6

Not a good game in his first 35 minutes and then stupidity to get sent off after clash with Muller. 2

22/22 Cristiano Ronaldo
Not bad for the main man but the game didn't allow him to truly excel. Had a few half chances but Portugal will need him to be on fire to get out of their group. 6

According to Prozone statistics, Ronaldo spent double the amount of time on the ball to Muller, but did much less with it and took up far less dangerous positions than the German.
Ronaldo spent 1min 6sec on the ball, while Muller spent just 32sec on the ball. But during that time each player completed 23 passes – with Muller even attempting two more – and Germany's hat-trick hero put in one more cross than the Portuguese.
The Real Madrid man also struggled to move the ball forward; 49 per cent of his passes went sideways, with just 23 per cent going forward. Muller played more backwards passes but he also played 29 per cent of his passes forward.
Moreover, the majority of Muller's touches came in the final quarter – within about 30 yards of goal. Ronaldo had 14 touches in this area, eight of those coming inside the 18-yard box, while Muller had 24, with nine inside the area.
Against the 10 men Muller obviously found it much easier to find space in the opponents' half. Each player had 39 'individual possessions' but playing against an extra man for almost an hour, Ronaldo had to come deeper to find the ball, with eight of those coming in his own half. Muller had just five touches in the Germany half.
Ronaldo's shooting was wayward, with just two of his seven shots testing Neuer, whereas Muller found the net with all three of his shots on target. Often criticised for not being involved in the build-up, Muller's World Cup record is astonishing not just compared to Ronaldo's, but to some of the best players of all time.
He now has eight goals in just seven matches, making him the joint-22nd highest World Cup scorer of all-time, scoring every 70mins he plays. Only six players with five goals or more can better that record, and of those players, Portuguese great Eusebio (born 1942) is the closest to him in age.
His clinical finishing has brought those goals from just nine shots on target and he has been involved in 11 of Germany's last 20 World Cup goals.
Ronaldo now has until Sunday night to get himself back to his best, when Portugal face the USA in Manaus.Reuse content
