How to Report an Adverse Reaction to a Medication »
"Potential drug treatments are tested on paper, in laboratories and eventually in thousands of people. But every drug that goes through this cycle â" every drug that FDA approves â" carries some risk. One of the first lines of defense against "...
Read the How to Report an Adverse Reaction to a Medication article »
Anaphylactoid Reactions
Serious anaphylactoid reactions, including death in a patient with asthma, have been reported in patients administered acetylcysteine intravenously.
Acute flushing and erythema of the skin may occur in patients receiving acetylcysteine intravenously. These reactions usually occur 30 to 60 minutes after initiating the infusion and often resolve spontaneously despite continued infusion of acetylcysteine. Anaphylactoid reactions (defined as the occurrence of an acute hypersensitivity reaction during acetylcysteine administration including rash, hypotension, wheezing, and/or shortness of breath), have been observed in patients receiving intravenous acetylcysteine for acetaminophen overdose and occurred soon after initiation of the infusion [see ADVERSE REACTIONS]. If a reaction to acetylcysteine involves more than simply flushing and erythema of the skin, it should be treated as an anaphylactoid reaction. This usually entails administering antihistaminic drugs and in severe cases may require administration of epinephrine. In addition, the acetylcysteine infusion may be interrupted until treatment of the anaphylactoid symptoms has been initiated and then carefully restarted. If the anaphylactoid reaction returns upon reinitiation of treatment or increases in severity, intravenous acetylcysteine should be discontinued and alternative patient management should be considered.
Monitoring Patients With Asthma
Acetadote should be used with caution in patients with asthma, or where there is a history of bronchospasm.
Volume Adjustment: Patients Less Than 40 kg And Requiring Fluid Restriction
The total volume administered should be adjusted for patients less than 40 kg and for those requiring fluid restriction. To avoid fluid overload, the volume of diluent should be reduced as needed [see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION]. If volume is not adjusted fluid overload can occur, potentially resulting in hyponatremia, seizure and death.
For specific treatment information regarding the clinical management of acetaminophen overdose, please contact your regional poison center at 1-800-222-1222, or alternatively, a special health professional assistance line for acetaminophen overdose at 1-800-525-6115.
Nonclinical Toxicology
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment Of Fertility
Long-term studies in animals have not been performed to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of acetylcysteine.
Acetylcysteine was not genotoxic in the Ames test or the in vivo mouse micronucleus test. It was, however, positive in the in vitro mouse lymphoma cell (L5178Y/TK+/-) forward mutation test.
Treatment of male rats with acetylcysteine at an oral dose of 250 mg/kg/day for 15 weeks (0.1 times the recommended total human intravenous dose of 300 mg/kg based on body surface comparison) did not affect the fertility or general reproductive performance.
Use In Specific Populations
Pregnancy Category B
There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of Acetadote in pregnant women. However, limited case reports of pregnant women exposed to acetylcysteine during various trimesters did not report any adverse maternal, fetal or neonatal outcomes.
There are published reports on four pregnant women with acetaminophen toxicity, who were treated with oral or intravenous acetylcysteine at the time of delivery. Acetylcysteine crossed the placenta and was measurable following delivery in serum and cord blood of three viable infants and in cardiac blood of a fourth infant at autopsy (22 weeks gestational age who died 3 hours after birth). No adverse sequelae developed in the three viable infants. All mothers recovered and none of the infants had evidence of acetaminophen poisoning.
Reproduction studies were performed in rats at oral doses up to 2000 mg/kg/day (1.1 times the recommended total human intravenous dose of 300 mg/kg based on body surface area comparison) and in rabbits at oral doses up to 1000 mg/kg/day (1.1 times the recommended total human intravenous dose of 300 mg/kg based on body surface area comparison). No effects on fertility or harm to the fetus due to acetylcysteine were observed.
Nursing Mothers
It is not known whether Acetadote is present in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when acetylcysteine is administered to a nursing woman. Based on the pharmacokinetics of acetylcysteine, it should be nearly completely cleared 30 hours after administration. Nursing women may consider resuming nursing 30 hours after administration.
Pediatric Use
No adverse effects were noted during intravenous infusion with acetylcysteine at a mean rate of 4.2 mg/kg/h for 24 hours to 10 preterm newborns ranging in gestational age from 25 to 31 weeks and in weight from 500 to 1380 grams in one study or in 6 newborns ranging in gestational age from 26 to 30 weeks and in weight from 520 to 1335 grams infused with acetylcysteine at 0.1 to 1.3 mg/kg/h for 6 days. Elimination of acetylcysteine was slower in these infants than in adults; mean elimination half-life was 11 hours. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pediatric patients.
Geriatric Use
The clinical studies do not provide a sufficient number of geriatric subjects to determine whether the elderly respond differently.This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

Theres something new on the sudoku scene?and its bound to capture the attention of word lovers. Wordoku follows the same basic principles as sudoku, except that solvers fill the grid with nine letters. Under each grid, the letters for that puzzle appear, in a pronounceable anagram. Then, just like the original, you have to arrange them so that every letter appears in every column, every row, and every 3x3 box just one time: anyone, including non-English speakers, can do that. But unlike sudoku, the fun doesnt end there: buried inside the grid, youll also find the answer to the anagram. (In some cases, to make it tougher, the anagram actually has TWO possible solutions.) Its brainbusting, entertaining, and irresistible.

Beacon Hill Institute
The Beacon Hill Institute (BHI) is a right-wing think tank that is housed at Suffolk University in Boston, MA until the end of 2016. It was started as the research arm of the Department of Economics.
The institute's executive director, David Tuerck, has a history of manipulating science on tobacco smoke and climate change. He is currently listed as an "expert" on Heartland's website and is a regular speaker at their climate denial conferences.
BHI is also an affiliate of the State Policy Network (SPN) and has most recently been cited by both American Legislative Exchange Council members and SPN organizations to discredit renewable energy standards. The reports attacking the laws produced by BHI have been thoroughly debunked by independent economists at Synapse Energy Economics. Synapse found "fundamental flaws in both the energy data and the economic modeling used by BHI."
In December 2015, Suffolk University announced it will end its partnership with the think tank. David Tuerck said the university made its work impossible by denying research proposals and imposing transparent fund-raising rules, which limited from whom the think tank could take money.

Chris Hadfield may be back on the ground but his science mission remains in full flight. Since his return from the International Space Station last week, the Canadian astronaut has decamped to NASA's Johnson Space Centre in Houston, Texas, where he's become the guinea pig for a full range of experiments designed to monitor how his body is re-adjusting to life on Earth after near five months in orbit. And – being Chris Hadfield – he's also tweeting about it, giving his nearly one million Twitter followers a glimpse into a fascinating and sometimes disorienting recovery process.
Mr. Hadfield spoke to the Globe and Mail's science reporter Ivan Semeniuk about his transition back and about a mission that re-focused the world's attention on human space flight.
You've been to space before on shorter flights. How does it feel coming back this time?
It's very different this time. I think that's because after three weeks or maybe a month in space I was truly adapted to being a creature living in weightlessness and that never happened on my previous two flights. This time the physical toll is much higher. The re-adaptation of my balance system is taking time. My blood pressure regulation had given up on fighting gravity – it no longer had to. So just standing up can cause my blood pressure to plummet.
It's been 18 years since your first trip to space. How has the recovery process changed since then?
One of the things we observed after my flight to the Mir space station in 1995 was the loss of skeleton – because we didn't understand how that was controlled nor did we have the equipment on board to combat it. Now we can basically beat it through a combination of diet and exercise. I worked out two hours a day for the last five months. My body is strong – it may not be balancing well, but it's strong.
What do you mean by not balancing well?
It feels like you're groggy or dizzy all of the time – like I've just stepped off a roller coaster at the CNE. When I stop moving, the world continues to move for a while. When I turn there's a sense the world is turning. At first it made me nauseous, but I stopped taking anti-nausea medication a couple of days ago. I just want my body to deal with it.
What's keeping you mentally engaged through all this?
During this rehab period we're trying to squeeze all the science we can out of this experience and a lot of it is physiological, so a large part of my schedule – hours and hours every day – is driven by rehab, by gathering all the fluid samples I can produce and by putting me through batteries of tests. But then starting next week we begin technical debriefs. We want to learn everything we can about how we performed on the space station. Our crew set records.We managed to accomplish a space walk on almost no notice. By 25 per cent we increased the amount of scientific work that has ever been done on space station. So there's great interest in how we did that, and how we organized our time. In amongst everything else, documenting that scientific legacy is at the core of what's important and what is taking almost all of my energies right now.
How much more ambitious do you think science could be on the space station?
You know the space station has really just come into its own. One of the main aims during our five months was to put in a wildly improved communications system. We increased by about a factor of one hundred the ability to send data up to the space station and to bring data down. If you're a scientist on the ground trying to run experiments on board, that high speed bandwidth increases your capability dramatically. One day we had all four of our communications channels going simultaneously with scientists in Russia, Houston, Portland and Norway all talking to the station at the same time. We showed that increased capability is there if we can just organize and use it. It's a big thriving, humming laboratory and we did our part to help improve that.
You were well known for playing your guitar in space. Did that help you in your work?
Since I was a kid, music is always how I've relaxed. It's a primal necessity. It's fundamental to who I am and how I enjoy things. We're not robots up there. I think the music is part of the humanity of the experience. It's important and I'm delighted that it was also a facet of what we got to do while we were there.
And where do you go from here?
Canada Day in Ottawa, which will be a lot of fun. And I'll be the parade marshal of the Calgary Stampede. Beyond that there are a lot of options and things going on but it's way too soon to be focusing on any of that.

Pass the Guaca- MOLEy
Holy MOLEy! The election may be over and rhetoric cooled, but the dish is hot as ever.
GA heard from sources Hoboken politicos were on the ground in Bayonne, helping the Smith campaign. Carmelo Garcia was one, working the streets for him, handing out palm cards. "Carmelo is tight with Rudy Garcia, former Mayor of Union City who is one of Smith's close advisers." said one source.
GA was told that Garcia (Rudy) was influential in Smith's decision to switch utility companies- a decision which angered many of Smith's constituents and turned them against him. Apparently Hoboken's "Old Guard" was solidly behind Smith. One source said "the OG needed them to win for some reason." and added: "All the bad guys wound up on Smith's side."
Speaking of 'bad guys' what about Beth Mason?
GA hears she was with Smith for the first election, then told everyone after that and up until the runoff she was still with Smith. A source: "She held back until it was clear Davis people were on the move."
Then, suddenly a day before the election, she dumped $25K into the Davis campaign- $5K to each candidate.
Hence, Mason's appearance at the Davis headquarters on Tuesday night. Like Sally Field sweeping onstage at the Oscars, Mason swept into the Davis celebration, sprinkling cash like fairy-dust, believing her loot buys the 'friendship' of a campaign she tried to wreck with her MOLE.
"You like me, you really like me!" ka-ching ka-ching
Um, no they don't. They like your money.
Speaking of the MOLE... he showed up, too at the Davis celebration on Tuesday! Imagine the nerve. MOLE even got someone to file a lawsuit (his M.O.) against the Davis campaign, but doesn't have the balls to put his own name on as Plaintiff. Coward.
GA's source told me, "He was shunned. A couple of people refused to shake his hand."
Hand? Don't you mean fin ?
What about Steve Fulop? He did endorse Smith.
"Fulop endorsed Smith in the first round- but refused to help in the second round. Lesniak came in to help Davis, and Lesniak is a Fulop guy. Fulop actually helped Davis. Zimmer was there, solid for Davis."
There you have it, folks.
I hope Davis, who seems like an honest chap, is not unduly influenced by all of his new "friends."

If Rudy & Carmelo are working the streets in Bayonne, you know Smith is no good and they are all upto something evil. Perhaps Beth is trying to angle one of them on the Bayonne Housing Authority Board to try to get Vision $/$ passed there instead, since the opportunity here was lost. There are all these beautiful public housing buildings that could be sold off to developers for the right ch-king. I just want to know how these evil people have any voice in politics?ReplyDelete

So wait, the fishy character wasn't well received in Bayonne in the Mayor-elect's camp?But I thought if Bit Mazon opens up the checkbook then they have to show love for the stank fish, Mongo and her whole crew of asshole hanger ons?ReplyDelete
The stink travels really far and fast. Maybe James can start a new gig somewhere to go with his Weehawken dive bar. Guess it won't be Bayonne.

And we have the pillow covers from Arianna Belle just waiting on their 20x20 down-filled inserts to give these babies a place to call home! They are gonna look so good once the lucite and gold drapery rod goes up and the new drapes are installed.
Since they were only painting the trim, including the baseboards, crown moldings, door and window trim, it didn't take these professionals long. Please email me (email@example.com) if you want to get in touch with Ruben for a paint project in your house (in the Houston area). He also painted our nursery (walls, ceiling, and built-in cabinet) and I highly recommend him and his team.
We used a high gloss paint finish so that the trim would really pop and give that glamorous sheen. It's so super shiny that even after it completely dried it still looks wet! It's so, so pretty in person!!

Icicle Fingers
Written vaguely, as the ideas were abstract even in my own mind.
Icicle Fingers
He knows he should not be doing this.
He stares out the open window of his car.
His glasses lenses fog up from the bitter cold.
From up above, an icicle cries a tear upon his face.
The icicle's generous offering drips down his face.
Chills his spine.
More icicle tears, and then
the silent fingers of the dismal cold begin to choke their way through.
Whispering in his ear.
Gaining his attention.
You should not be doing this.
Steely fingers grip the steering wheel.
Silver fingers of ice begin to strangle his neck,
slicing off the flow of oxygen into his evil dreams.
You should not be here.
Another drop of icicle brings him back to reality.
Wisps of cruelly frigid air cut at his mind.
I should not be here.

Leras Vineyard
In the fall of 2001, Russian Hill released its first vineyard designated Pinot noir, the 1999 Leras Vineyard. The success of this vineyard must be attributed to Nick Leras who comes from a family of pioneer Russian River Valley grape growers who were amongst the first to plant grapes in this region.
Nick combines his knowledge, steeped in tradition, with an openness to that which is new to meet the specific requirements of each vineyard. The vines of Leras Vineyard are dry farmed and are trellised by a modified Scott-Henry system. The split canopy provides the vines the correct balance for the fertile soil and balanced vines ultimately produce balanced wines. Lack of irrigation further concentrates the grapes and adds to the depth of flavors of the wine from this vineyard.

Back in ye olden medieval days, peasants and nobles often treated their sovereigns as the embodiments of god on earth. Said sovereigns possessed of no actual godlike powers and couldn't really rely on the miracles that shocked the peeps into sheep-like submission in a game like Populous. Instead, they hired middle managers to keep the kingdom under their invisible iron thumb -- in the case of the PC classic Majesty, roving bands of heroes who must be bribed with reward flags to take on tasks -- unlike the masked villagers in From Dust, who'll go anywhere and fetch anything The Breath commands them to. Majesty doesn't share much in common with From Dust's more simplistic magical/mystical approach, but it just might be the perfect god game for our modern corporate-CEO-dominated world. And it's now available as an iPad app.
Black and White (and its sequel and expansion pack) wasn't just one of the genre's creative pinnacles, but also the god game that helped remind us that good and evil have actual consequences -- as in cosmetic consequences. If you've ever played any of Peter Molyneux's Fable games -- yep, there he is again -- and wondered where the idea to have evil-behaving characters begin to turn craggy and sprout horns came from, look no further. Tooling around as he game's cute animal avatars, the very embodiment of your godliness on earth, was a huge draw. Although both games use the concept of vortexes to travel between islands, From Dust skips the cosmetic nuance -- you're welcome to re-route streams of lava straight into your villages and turn the foliage into flaming lollipops, and The Breath doesn't so much as sprout a single devil horn or even change color. You will, however, be drop-kicked back to the start of the map level. Karma is such a bitch.
Not everyone thinks of The Sims as a god game, but it's certainly true that the series' never-ending expansions and more than $2.5 billion in sales have helped to make Electronic Arts richer than God. In addition to granting you godlike powers over your self-selected avatar, The Sims also lets you wield them in cruel and unusual ways. Trapping your avatar in a bathroom with no doors and tossing electrical appliances into their Jacuzzis has to qualify as crueler than anything God put Job or Moses through -- in a Final Destination 5 kind of way, anyway.
The cute, jibbering little natives of From Dust don't bear much physical resemblance to the neon green stick-skeletons of the denizens of Darwinia, but damn, if there aren't times in which they behave in similar fashion, defying what seem to be rather clear orders and pathways to safety in order to make your life miserable. (Seriously -- you're a deity. Why can't your subjects have at least a Celebrity Rehab level of intelligence?) Darwinia's shifting, on-the-fly objectives are a lot less zenlike than the simple fetch the magical icon From Dust serves up, and it'd be awfully nice to but some of those beautiful native village buildings to work for you the way you can in Dr. Sepulveda's virus-infected world. Even gods, apparently, don't get everything.
So you and The Breath have scored all of From Dust's magical icons, erected a village for every island and unlocked every piece of lore the story has to offer. God may have rested on the seventh day, but the god-game genre probably won't.

Liberty/SoGen Deal Collapses
March 8, 1999
Liberty Financial Companies and Societe Generale Asset Management have called off Liberty Financial's planned $216 million purchase of the adviser to the SoGen Funds because of declining assets in SoGen funds. Liberty said that SoGen had failed to meet minimum asset requirements for the deal to occur. The SoGen funds, with approximately $3 billion in assets, lost roughly 25 percent of their assets in the last six months of 1998, according to Financial Research Corp., a fund tracking firm in Boston. SoGen's four funds had total net redemptions of approximately $1 billion from July 1 through Dec. 31, according to FRC.

When Child Beauty Pageants Aren't About The Kids
The paper, authored by Martina M. Cartwright, a registered dietician and adjunct professor in the University of Arizona's department of nutritional sciences, suggests that high-glitz child pageants, largely popularized by the TLC hit reality show "Toddlers and Tiaras" and its spin-off "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," often have little to do with the children and much more to do with satisfying the needs of their parents. It further suggests that participation in such pageants can actually be harmful to children's health and self-esteem.
Cartwright, who attended two live tapings of "Toddlers and Tiaras" as part of her research, asserts that some pageant parents exhibit what she calls "princess by proxy," a unique form of "achievement by proxy distortion" in which adults are driven primarily by the social or financial gains earned by their child's accomplishments, regardless of risk involved for the child.
Cartwright focused specifically on the $5 billion glitz pageant industry, which was first made known to many in 1995, following the death of 5-year-old beauty queen Jon-Benet Ramsey.
In glitz pageants, young contestants wear heavy makeup and ornate costumes, with price tags sometimes topping $1,500. Along with entry fees, photos and other common pageant expenses - like wigs, fake tans and artificial teeth known as flippers - the average total cost of participating in a single glitz competition, according to Cartwright's research, runs about $3,000 to $5,000.
Prizes at stake might include cash awards, crowns, trips, puppies or even movie "bit parts." The potential for fame and fortune, Cartwright says, may contribute to "achievement by proxy distortion" in parents.
It is not uncommon for parents, especially those of young athletes, to exhibit what is known as benign "achievement by proxy," in which they experience pride and joy through their child's achievements but still recognize a child's limitations, says Cartwright, who has worked extensively with young athletes and dancers as a dietician.
"Achievement by proxy distortion," however, occurs when parents struggle to differentiate between their own need and their child's needs, and in order to achieve what they perceive as success, they may engage in risky behaviors, objectification or even abuse and exploitation of a child, elements of which Cartwright said she witnessed at the glitz pageants she attended.
"I think it's fun if they want to play dress up for a little while, but to insist on making that a career or that they're going to be a model or a Hollywood star, the chances are very slim," she said in an interview. "Parents have to know their child's limitations and not pres them beyond that because later on that knocks their self esteem."
Cartwright said she talked with pageant parents who made risky financial investments to support their child's participation, spending above and beyond the amount of the contest's top prize. She also witnessed parents putting high pressure on their young daughters to look "flawless" and win at all costs, pushing them to adopt an unnatural and adult-like physical appearance and chastising them for poor performance, lack of enthusiasm or a flawed appearance.
"Everything was based on what these kids look like and the way that these children were displayed or dressed," Cartwright said. "They were fully made up; they looked like adult women, pint-size. They were judged on personality, but none spoke a word."
The emphasis on physical perfection may put young girls at risk for adult body dissatisfaction, and potentially eating disorders, Cartwright said.
She said she also worries that the competitions sexualize young girls by encouraging them to look like grown-ups. She recalled in particular one young contestant, wearing a Playboy bunny costume, being carried onto the stage by her father, dressed as Hugh Hefner.
Cartwright is additionally concerned about the physical health of young pageant participants.
At the pageants she observed, where contestants ranged in age from 4 months to 15 years, she said tears and temper tantrums were common, with many parents denying their children naps or breaks during grueling pageant schedules for fear that sleeping might dishevel the child's appearance. She also saw several parents giving their children caffeinated beverages and Pixy Stix candy, often referred to as "pageant crack," to keep their energy levels high, with one mother declaring, "We've gone through two bags of crack and two cans of energy drink so she can stay up for crowning."
"It's concerning because when you raise toddlers, they have to be put on a schedule of some sort, with regular meals and regular naps," Cartwright said. "With the 'pageant crack' and caffeinated beverages, they're feeding them pure sugar to keep them awake. The smell in the hallways was so sweet it was like being in a carnival."
Although Cartwright doesn't advocate an outright ban on child pageants, she said she thinks it's important for people to understand the motivation for some parents to enter their children in the competitions.
"If we can understand why the parents are doing what they're doing, then we can start addressing the problem," she said. "And I think if the public understands why the parents are doing that then they won't pay as much attention to these pageants."
She also emphasized the importance of teaching young children that self-esteem is not all about looks.
"We need to talk to adults and to kids," she said, "about other ways to garner self-esteem than through appearance."

Abaqus/Standard provides Abaqus analysis technology to solve traditional implicit finite element analysis, including static, dynamic, and thermal analyses, all powered with the widest range of contact and nonlinear material options. Abaqus/Standard also has optional add-on and interface products that address design sensitivity analysis, offshore engineering, and integration with third-party software, e.g. plastic injection molding analysis.
Abaqus/Explicit provides analysis technology focused on transient dynamics and quasi-static analyses using an explicit time integration, which is appropriate in many applications, such as drop tests, crushing, and manufacturing processes.
Abaqus/CAE provides a complete modeling and visualization environment for Abaqus analysis products. With direct access to CAD models, advanced meshing and visualization, and with an exclusive view towards Abaqus analysis products, Abaqus/CAE is the modeling environment of choice for many Abaqus users.
Abaqus/CFD provides advanced computational fluid dynamics capabilities with extensive support for pre- and postprocessing provided in Abaqus/CAE. These scalable parallel CFD simulation capabilities address a broad range of nonlinear coupled fluid-thermal and fluid-structural problems.
In addition to the development of the pre-existing Abaqus portfolio, DS has also developed SIMULIA V5 and V6 product suites which seeks to combine the modelling and simulations aspect into one tool.[4]

A great day around Matterhorn
... the cloud had thickened and Matterhorn had
gone into hiding once again.
3100m one certainly looses their energy and after a bit of a long walk around
the mountain my body was about to fall over and die, I had to get some food
into me rather quickly!!
headed for the restaurant and right there on the door it just happened to have
the word "Chocolate" written on it and so I had one thing on my
mind...anyone guess what it was?? ;-)
Its freezing out here
... the pass it did not look good. Today it was overcast and for sure mighty cold.
As I negotiate the twists and turns up this pass its getting colder every mile. Soon a few drops of rain fell and then it turned to light snow and hail. A terrible freezing wind was blowing and looking at the road surface one could see the hailstones being blown across the surface making it rather slippery.
This pass road sure seemed far more twisty than what it seemed yesterday in all the mist. ...
Italian Alps - Last day in Italy
... and probably said I was crazy. It wasn't too cold but it was to cold for that attire. A cardigan is now required. We donned our cycle gear and found a path into Aosta along a fast flowing river. Aosta is580m above sea level situated in the centre of Aosta valley. It was founded in 25 BC by the Romans at the junction of the major roads leading to France and Switzerland. Its surrounded by superb mountains. This ancient town dates back to the pre-historic age, to Roman ...

... taking us 4 hours all up and although a bit sore leg wise and toenail wise, we all agreed it was a fantastic excursion. Coffee, beer and something to eat was a welcome treat on our arrival back in town. Drinks at 5 courtesy of the hotel in compensation for no hot water on our first night as the generator had broken down, plus cheese, biscuits and other nibbles in the lounge complete with open fire was a perfect ending to a perfect day and a perfect few days near the ...
Freezing fun and a trip to a "loose" canyon
... it's accessible via a steep set of steps which are really almost ladders, then there is a walkway along a huge section of the gorge wall, right down into the gorge itself. Quite spectacular with the icy water rushing over the polished jasper stone. Plenty of trees growing out of impossible cracks, moss and pretty pink flowers clinging to the gorge walls. Really lovely!
After we found our way back into the village we foraged at the local Co-op supermarket and stocked up on some ...

Gemma Collins is supporting animal rights organisation PETA in a campaign to end fur use.
Gemma Collins has posed naked for PETA.
'The Only Way Is Essex' star supports animal rights organisation PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) and has stripped off for a new advertising campaign against the use of fur in the fashion industry.
The plus size fashion designer said: ''Like PETA, I believe that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. You don't have to be a size 8 to feel beautiful, but you do have to be comfortable in your own skin. And that means letting animals keep theirs - not killing them for their fur.''
In the poster, Gemma can be seen lying naked on satin sheets, wearing only a pearl necklace, pearl bracelets and glamorous earrings.
The blonde beauty is the latest in a line of celebrities who bared all in their support of PETA.
She is following in the footsteps of A-Listers such as Eva Mendes, Pamela Anderson and Khloe Kardashian and other stars from her hometown of Essex, England, including Rylan Clark, Chantelle Houghton and Lauren Goodger.

According to Kanyari, Sonko insisted on getting his cut upfront which the Bishop gave him after raising the amount from friends. Kanyari states that the deal was hoax and the senator even made attempts to have him arrested.
"They wanted to arrest me for maligning the name of the senator," he said. "Anyway, I have forgiven and forgotten the incident. Sonko and I are now friends but I am very careful around him. Sh500,000 is a lot of money my brother," He told The Standard.
Meanwhile Sonko has castigated fake prophets and asked the DPP to take legal actions against such rogue pastors.He took a swipe at men of cloth who are interested in political position in what seemed to be directed to Bishop Margaret Wanjiru:
"She is a church leader yet instead of preaching, she is busy bad-mouthing her opponents for political mileage. I wonder what example she is setting for her followers," Sonko said.

Day 5
He shoved his hand through the metal into the fuse box and tore out the power supply. The magic supply cut and started to fade. The entire bank of elevators was an illusion. He felt it start to fall apart bit by bit. He warped out before it was entirely gone. He was in the lobby again, it was empty not a single soul was there. Maybe the entire building is an illusion, he thought. He checked his watch, there should be people here this was wrong. He shoved his hand through the wall to see if there was a magic line in it. He hoped there wasn't or he would be stuck. He reached in and found what he hoped wouldn't be there.
"Hello" said a deep voice, he turned to see who it was. A man probably a Necromancer by the robes he wore, stood at the end of the elevator banks.
"Nice trap you got here, I really liked the Phaseman, he was good" said the wizard, "Only one problem with him, he was sitting under a camera. You might want to look more carefully at the details next time" he added sarcastically.
"I am sorry but no Phaseman was working on this one" said the Necromancer, he was very clearly confused.
"The security guard, you didn't notice him when you walked in?" said the wizard, "He was sitting right behind the desk at the front" he added, something bigger than just one Necromancer going on.
"There is no room for Phasemen in serious business like this" the Necromancer said trying to put on a voice that would scare the wizard.
"So there's more than one plan going on, now all I need to do is find the right one" the wizard said mostly to himself.
"Pardon?" asked the Necromancer.
"Well if the Phaseman was here to kill me, he would be working with you. Since you aren't working with him that means he's here to either warn me or save me" he said, "Which would be really nice about now!" he shouted hoping it really was a Phaseman and that he would pop out and save him.
"There is no one here to save you" said the Necromancer, "Now it is time for the Fist to retire, permanently" he added along with an evil cackle.
"Aren't you going to explain your evil plan to me? Maybe add another cliche line? Maybe a line from a Bond movie?" he said rudely, trying to get more time.
"Bond movie?" the Necromancer asked, "You have been spending far too much time with the humans"
"Yeah, humans are actually much nicer than Necros like you, by the way, those robes you got on are tacky" the wizard said.

The million $$ question, isn't it?? Well, both hires from the TSA, and ATF alone could certainly get a couple o tactical brigades together if needed. Unless we re talking about full-scale conflicts that will at least be good enough fire power to assault isolated pockets and create many fires and killed "terrorists". ALso, the CIA and the drones can be used very well for this purpose. I See no problem with the average TSA thug at the airports being storm troopers here and even if they were not to be armed and responsible for killing people, they would be the perfect enforcers against a defenseless population. Most people who have gone through security checks since 911 are already prison-trained by now. The sheer need to almost willingly submit in your mind to the TSA is almost there. They get worse and worse and worse and it never stops.
I'm a wealthy, reasonably well know locally "white" guy in late 30 that they know VERY well at the local air port and it NEVER ails I get "screened" since I "dare" not to choose their nasty scanner. My wife is 5'4 120" young asian mother of two. NEVER fails to stop her as well. I recognize sheer oppression when I see it and today, I would rather spend two days driving than taking a plane for two hours. Our kids will grow up never having flown in their lives, unless they have to be sent out of the country.
Homeland security department alone has bought more than a billion high-caliber bullets. What is the TSA under? It is EASY to learn using a fire-arm, especially against UNARMED AND DEFENSELESS subjects.
Finally, the Russian editorial in Pravda (remember good and bad Pravda?) is now telling US citizens that giving up your guns is a disaster. Learn from history. And stop believing the liberal hyperbole about "cannot fight the military with semi-autos". That would never happen, or if it did it would be suicide even to stay in the country. This is all about subjugation under guise of civilian laws and involving the military will not only make this nation the next Yugoslavia, divided on political lines instead of religious lines this time. For every high level armed conflict there has to be thousands o small level armed ones.
Don't believe the hype, it means EVERYTHING to be able to keep these arms. There is NO resson or this disarmament over some school shooting. NONE!! Wake up!!

The CEO who said that he would "start killing people" if President Barack Obama tightened gun control regulations has walked back on his comments.
"I said some pretty volatile stuff which I apologize for. I do not in any way advocate the overthrowing of the United States government, nor do I condone any violent actions towards any elected officials," James Yeager, CEO of Tactical Response, a Tennessee-based defense training company, said in a YouTube video on Friday.
"It's not time to shoot anybody," he said, while sitting next to a lawyer. "What it is time to do is to organize politically, contact our elected officials and help steer the ship the direction that we want it to go."
"The way to do that right now is via letters, via emails, some phone calls to your elected officials," he added.

Immigrants closely related to U.S. citizens can now apply for visas from the U.S., according to a rule announced by the Department of Homeland Security, Wednesday. Until now, immigrant parents, children or spouses of American citizens were required to return to their home country to apply for legal status. Because of a separate 1996 law meant to discourage repeat migration to the U.S., immigrants who had overstayed a prior visa can be barred from returning for 3 to 10 years. As a result, many immigrants who could be eligible for legal status through a close family member chose to stay in the U.S. illegally and opt out of the visa process altogether.
Now, family members can seek legal status from the United States, and return to their home countries when a visa is ready, leaving for a few weeks instead of years. The administration says this rule change keeps families together and encourages people who are here illegally to come forward and seek legal recognition. The rule could affect 1 million of the estimated 11 million people in the U.S. illegally.
Is this step a smart way to ensure that families stay together? Or is it a giant loophole that significantly alters immigration policy? And, what role will Congress play, when recent policy changes have all come from the White House?
Infighting has penetrated the highest levels of the House GOP leadership. Long-standing geographic tensions have increased, pitting endangered Northeastern Republicans against their colleagues from other parts of the country. Enraged tea party leaders are threatening to knock off dozens of Republicans who supported a measure that raised taxes on the nations highest earners.
People are mad as hell. I'm right there with them, Amy Kremer, chairman of the Tea Party Express, said late last week, declaring that she has no confidence in the party her members typically support. Her remarks came after GOP lawmakers agreed to higher taxes but no broad spending cuts as part of a deal to avert the fiscal cliff.

TORONTO -- Earplugs didn't help Rafael Palmeiro stop his slump.
Palmeiro inserted earplugs after he was loudly booed during his first at-bat in the Baltimore Orioles' 7-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night.
He went 0-for-4, leaving him with two hits in 26 at-bats, an .077 average, since a 10-day suspension for testing positive for steroids.
Palmeiro expressed disbelief when Orioles spokesman Kevin Behan told him the first few questions to interim manager Sam Perlozzo were about his earplugs. Palmeiro declined to talk to reporters, saying through Behan that he'll speak Wednesday.
"You want to be accepted by people," teammate Brian Roberts said. "For 99 percent of his career he has been and for that to completely change now, I think is something I don't know if any of us can comprehend what he's going through. By his expressions you can tell that it is definitely beating him up."
Palmeiro struck out swinging in the first inning, popped out weakly to the pitcher in the fourth, lined out to first base in the sixth and took a called third strike in the eighth. His batting average has dropped from .280 at the time of his suspension to .266.
He added what appeared to be tape to one earplug, apparently to further drown out the boos.
Fans have jeered him and made disparaging remarks since his return. He is the most prominent major league player punished for taking banned drugs, and said when the suspension was announced that he never intentionally took steroids.
"It's a situation that you wouldn't put your worst enemy in," Roberts said. "Obviously, none of us will ever know what the truth is, but I believe him. And for him to have to go through this, it's something that we can't really comprehend."
Palmeiro was Baltimore's designated hitter, a day after Perlozzo suggested he has lost his job as the regular first baseman.
Perlozzo didn't notice the earplugs until his last at-bat.
"You'll have to ask Raffy if it bothers him, but we're out there rooting for him," Perlozzo said.
Baltimore lost its fifth straight game and for the 10th time in 11 games. Rodrigo Lopez (13-8) gave up seven runs and 11 hits in 4 2/3 innings.
Shea Hillenbrand tripled during a four-run second inning, and hit an RBI double in a three-run fifth.
David Bush (4-7) allowed two runs and seven hits in seven innings, struck out seven and walked none for the Blue Jays, who lost eight of their previous 10 games. Every Toronto started had at least one hit.
Toronto manager John Gibbons said he never wore earplugs.
"I wasn't good enough to need them," Gibbons said.
Roberts led off the first with a homer, the fourth time he's done it this season and the second time against Bush. He also homered off Bush on April 23.
Toronto took a 4-1 lead in the second after Hillenbrand led off with a triple past the glove of diving right fielder David Newhan. Gregg Zaun hit an RBI single, Orlando Hudson had a two-run double and Frank Catalanotto added an RBI double.
Melvin Mora cut it to 4-2 with an RBI single in the fifth, but the Blue Jays scored three runs in the bottom half on Hillenbrand's RBI double, Eric Hinske's run-scoring single and Reed Johnson's RBI grounder.
- Roberts has led off the first with a homer five times in his career.
- Toronto SS Russ Adams turned 25.

Vegan Shop Seattle Cookie Counter is Back in Action
Seattle's beloved vegan ice cream shop has re-opened thanks to a whopping $10,000 raised by the local community.
Vegan ice cream shop Seattle Cookie Counter will host a grand re-opening on May 21 after a six-month hiatus. The shop closed due to financial strains last November after successfully crowdfunding both its initial food truck iteration and the brick-and-mortar shop in the Phinney Ridge neighborhood of Seattle. Owners Chelsea Keene and Chris Olson raised $10,000 from the local community via a GoFundme campaign recently to reopen their doors and re-launch the food truck this summer. The shop serves a variety of coconut milk-based ice cream, fresh-baked cookies, brownies, and several new menu items such as a matcha affogato made with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, matcha tea, sprinkles, and a maraschino cherry.

Hi. It is better to undergo tests for HIV, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C after proper counselling in view of multiple sex partners. Kindly contact infectious disease specialist or urologist for the same.
