According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), prescribing opioid pain medications for women of childbearing age is a "significant public health concern." Approximately one fourth of privately insured women aged 15 to 44 years and about one third of their counterparts insured by Medicaid filled a prescription for an opioid each year during 2008 to 2012.
According to CDC Director Tom Frieden, MD, MPH, "Taking opioid medications early in pregnancy can cause birth defects and serious problems for the infant and the mother." These include neural tube defects, congenital heart defects, and gastroschisis. There is also a risk for neonatal abstinence syndrome from opioid exposure in pregnancy. Dr. Frieden explained, "Many women of reproductive age are taking these medicines and may not know they are pregnant and therefore may be unknowingly exposing their unborn child. That's why it's critical for healthcare professionals to take a thorough health assessment before prescribing these medicines to women of reproductive age." The most commonly prescribed opioids were hydrocodone, codeine, and oxycodone. In a recent safety communication, the US FDA urged clinicians to carefully weigh the benefits and risks of using prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) pain medicines during pregnancy. The agency advises health care professionals to continue to follow the recommendations in the drug labels when prescribing pain medicines to pregnant patients. They advise pregnant women to consult with their healthcare professionals before taking any prescription or OTC medicine.

LaRoche a Good Fielder? And Other Things
I do not claim to be an expert on fielding or fielding statistics. Nor do I claim to have studied the fielding abilities of Adam LaRoche live or on the tube. But, every comment Ive read about him since his rumored and finally consummated trade to Pittsburgh speaks of him as being, at best, an average fielder. Definitely a lumberer.
Yet Mike Berardinos Inside Dish left me scratching my head. He quotes a rival scout as saying, Having him at first is like having another shortstop on the field. Hes a really slick, comfortable, fundamentally sound defender. Hes agile and mobile. Thats a big upgrade for Pittsburgh.
Wow! Really. Anybody else heard that? If thats true, I somehow missed reading that from other sources.
Absolutely fantastic story from Bill Simmons on ESPN.coms Page 2. I lov...

Further Adventures with 2013 Avery Fisher Grant Winners
We first met American pianist Andrew Tyson when he took first prize at the 2011 Young Concert Artists International Auditions. He is now a 2013 Avery Fisher Career Grant winner along with violinists Itamar Zorman and Bella Hristova and pianist Kuok-Wai Lio, all of whom were featured on last week's show.
Rounding out the winner's circle is the Escher String Quartet, which performed several times during the Britten Centennial celebration at Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. From those concerts we have a complete performance of Benjamin Britten's String Quartet No. 2, which was written in 1945 to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the death of Henry Percell.
Program details:
Chopin: Mazurka in E minor, Op. 17, No. 2
Chopin: Mazurka in B-flat major, Op. 17, No. 1
Bach: Partita No. 1 in B-flat
— Andrew Tyson, piano. Recorded at a private recital for Young Concert Artists.
Britten: String Quartet No. 2 in C major, Op. 36
— Escher String Quartet: Adam Barnett-Hart, Aaron Boyd, violin; Pierre Lapointe, viola; Dane Johansen, cello. Recorded live at Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.

I thought Members might be interested in how to recode or reprogram key fobs (also known a plips). At least, this is the procedure for my series 1 Discovery TDI 2.5 Diesel. (My big black baby and I love her deeply, hopelessly...no stop it!).
I got the procedure from Land Rover and confirmed it on www.programyourkeys.com
This assumes you have one or two of the correct fobs with good working batteries (Batteries CR2016 3volts).
Ideally, you need three persons for this. One in the drivers seat with keys in the ignition; one at the driver's door with spare keys in the door lock and one at the front of the car to work the bonnet switch.
Start with the ignition off and bonnet open with the bonnet switch pressed down.
Then you have to complete the following sequence within eight seconds:-
1. Ignition on - ignition off.
2. Lock doors - unlock doors.
3. Release bonnet switch.
4. Ignition on - ignition off.
Then, if alarm is set the horn will sound and the LED light on dash (in the middle of the dash under the radio compartment) will light.
Now, the programming of the fob or fobs can begin.
Press and hold down the button on the fob until the red LED flashes fast.
Then repeat for the second fob.
When finished wait for the LED to stop flashing or the alarm will go off. (This advice courtesy of Member Grantc).
The dash LED will go out if both fobs have been programmed successfully.
If the second fob does not work, you have to do the first fob again and then the second fob again as part of the same sequence. In other words, if you want two working fobs you must program them together.
I had some worries about what would happen if the coding procedure was unsuccessful and if it would cause any permanent problems but I have had some advice from other members of the forum and have been told it is OK to simply go on trying until successful. In addition, I have today spoken to a Land Rover Dealer (through Land Rover UK) and have been told it is OK to go on trying until successful but to wait 20 minutes or so before trying again.
Hope this helps someone.

After serving seven months in an Arizona jail, rapper DMX was released today (July 19). According to allhiphop.com, the Yonkers native was greeted by a small group of family and friends before heading to a visit with his probation officer.
DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was locked up again back in December of 2010 for probation violation when he refused to take a drug test. X, who has struggled with drugs throughout his career, was subsequently sentenced to a year in prison.
"I'm going to go see my daughter while the sun is up then I'm going to be in the studio, man," he said.
X's reps confirmed reports that he was in "serious negotiations" with Rick Ross's Maybach Music Group.

Are you the best man at your friend's wedding and in the middle of organising the coolest stag party ever? If you are still looking for ideas for the stag night, don't forget the most important thing – cool stag night t-shirts! There are so many things you can do at a stag party, like going to Barcelona for the weekend or partying all night long, but all these activities are much more fun if the whole group is wearing matching stag party t-shirts. They should be the first thing you think of when organising a stag party. Everything else, like the location, the date, the food, can be thought of afterwards, so get your stag t-shirts right now.
Spreadshirt offers a wide variety of clothing and accessories. If you do not want to wear t-shirts at the stag party because the wedding is in December and you prefer to wear warm stag party hoodies, we have them. If you think the matching stag do t-shirts are not enough to show everyone that you are a group of party people and you want to add cool stag party bags or stag do caps to your outfit, we have them. And of course, if you want to be a nice guy and help the maid of honour organise the hen night by getting custom hen night t-shirts, we also have those!

"The money spent in hiring Carousel's services can be justified as practical, hands on training for the staff, as well as playful learning opportunities which cater for the individual developmental needs of the children at the setting" Tracy Pitman, Manager, Silverton Preschool Playgroup
As well as offering creative sessions in the community, you can hire us to work within a nursery or early years setting, community event or for a private event. We work with experienced, Devon-based, community artists with a wealth of talent and experience working with young children and their families and running participatory workshops. If you want a quality, creative workshop in your early years setting or are organising a party, function, festival or event and are looking for children's creative activities, we can offer something special, fun and unique.
We have developed a strong portfolio of working creatively with early years children and their families both within Children's Centres and at stand-alone sessions. Our artists and educators have built up experience working with this age group and have developed methods of working to engage children and to encourage participation from both parent and child. We can develop a theme you are currently working on or come up with a concept to inspire and engage children.
Most recently, Carousel artists Lizzie Swinford and Tamsin Pender visited Silverton Preschool Playgroup. As the children were exploring themes around 'summer' and 'the beach', the popular story, 'The Snail and the Whale' was suggested by the artists at Carousel as the foundation for their activities.
Recreating the story together using movement, art and play, the children laid and followed snail trails inside and whale trails across the garden, making snails to take on their journeys with them. We used fabric, props and chalk to form the places in the book and together we traveled across oceans in the garden, explored a dark coral cave lit with luminous and sparkly shapes, slid across the icy wastes and escaped from an exploding volcano, giving the children space for imaginative, creative and physical play throughout. The session was hugely successful and you can read a review by Tracy Pitman, Manager of the Silverton Preschool Playgroup here.
"Staff spoke enthusiastically of great new ideas they had for future activities, including their insistence that I obtain the recipe for the snail slime used. The one criticism staff had was that the event didn't go on long enough, as the children were so engaged with each activity they needed more time to explore it fully." Tracy Pitman, Manager, Silverton Preschool Playgroup
We have been hired by local schools for activities with Years 1 & 2 for National Literacy Week events (see Where the Wild Things Are and Silverton Wild Rumpus). We also created activities aimed at early years children for the Exeter Olympic Torch ceremony and Exeter's Unexpected Festivals 2014 and 2014 and Exetreme Imagination Festival 2014.
If you would like the Carousel team to visit your Pre-School, Foundation, Reception or Key Stage One class, please e-mail email@example.com to find out more. We work closely with E.Y practitioners to offer bespoke, tailor-make sessions around any theme, so why not book us for World Book Day 2015 (5th March 2015)

Kare First Love (GN 6 of 10)
Title: Kare First Love
Volume: GN 6 / 10
Pages: 192
Distributor: Viz Media
Release date: 2005-11-29
Suggested retail price: $9.99
Age rating: 13+
It's the proverbial teen love cha-cha - one step forward, two steps back - and they dance to the beat of their own hearts. Old-fashioned curiosity takes them to the sexual frontier, but a tiny voice in their heads holds them back. As hormones surge, passion escalates, and once all the "bases" are loaded, every parent's nightmare becomes the next big step.
In the case of Karin and Kiriya, Karin's hesitation to have sex has been the cause of their most bitter quarrels, but nothing could have prepared them for the Valentine's Day drama that looms ahead...

text: BOSTON, July 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The John Hancock Investor Sentiment Index ® rose two points to +26 in the second quarter of 2013, surpassing last quarter's all-time high and continuing an upward trend that began in the fourth quarter of 2012. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130702/NE41408-INFO ) Positive attitudes toward investing in stocks persisted in the second quarter, with 62 percent saying that now is a good time to invest in them. The enthusiasm for equities is sharply higher than a year ago, when only 48 percent of investors were positive on stocks in 2012's second quarter. Likewise, investors are upbeat about real estate (63 percent, up from 59 percent in Q2 of 2012) and about their own home as an investment (67 percent, up significantly from 60 percent in Q2 of 2012). Investors continue to shun bonds, with only 23 percent thinking it is a good time to invest in them, significantly lower than one year ago when 27 percent felt that way. Investors generally feel now is a bad time to be holding onto cash (64 percent). Bill Cheney, John Hancock's Chief Economist, commented: "Amid steady gains in U.S. equity markets, investors are continuing to gain confidence in longer-term investing in companies and in less liquid investments such as real estate. Perceptions of their financial position also remain on an upward trend, with more than half (53 percent) of investors saying their current financial position is better than it was two years ago, a significant increase from 42 percent who felt that way in the second quarter of 2012. And about half (49 percent) continue to believe that two years from now they will be in even better shape financially." Attitudes toward saving and investing remain remarkably high. Eight in ten investors feel than now is a good time to contribute to 401(k) plans (81 percent) and IRAs (78 percent), while 52 percent are positive on 529 College Savings Plans.

Pirates notebook: McCutchen wins Clemente Award again
For the second year in a row, outfielder Andrew McCutchen was the unanimous winner of the Roberto Clemente Award, as voted upon by the Pittsburgh chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America.
It's the third time in five years McCutchen has won the award, which honors the team's MVP. Russell Martin finished second and Francisco Liriano was third.
"Look at Andrew's numbers this year in the second half," manager Clint Hurdle said. "He was in contention for the (National League) MVP last year. Look at what he's done this year. He continues to make a difference. We feed off everything he does."
A year ago, McCutchen batted .289 with an .860 OPS after the All-Star break. This season, McCutchen is hitting .352 with a 1.035 OPS in the second half.
Liriano won the team's Most Outstanding Pitcher award. Mark Melancon and Jason Grilli were runners-up.
Neil Walker won the Chuck Tanner Award, which goes to the player who is most cooperative with the media. Clint Barmes finished second.
Ovation for McCutchen
Hurdle sent McCutchen out to center field in the ninth, then replaced him with Starling Marte, allowing McCutchen to get a standing ovation from what was left of the crowd. Hurdle offered the same message for McCutchen as he did last year when he did the same thing: "Well done thy good and faithful servant," Hurdle said. "Very appropriate."
Burnett back in 2014?
Right-hander A.J. Burnett, who will be a free agent after this season, last week told the Tribune-Review he is considering retirement. On Sunday, general manager Neal Huntington said Burnett has not indicated whether he wants to return.
"We will do everything within our power to keep A.J. here," Huntington said. "He's (told us he's) loved it here. He's felt wanted and welcome here. If he decides to continue to pitch, he absolutely has an open mind for Pittsburgh and would love to finish his career as a Pirate. We'd like to continue that dialogue."
Burnett will turn 37 in January.
Long, strange trip
The Pirates left Sunday to begin an open-ended road trip. The first two stops — Chicago and Cincinnati — are known. Where they go after the regular-season finale is to be determined.
The team could be home as soon as Sunday night or its road trip could be extended as many as five extra days.
"It's a little strange, not knowing where we're going next, but it's also a good thing," Walker said.
If the Pirates win the NL Central title, they will return home for at least a couple of days until the start of the Division Series on Oct. 3. The first game could be in Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Los Angeles or Atlanta.
If they earn the first wild-card spot, the Pirates would fly home to host the one-game playoff Oct. 1 against the Reds or Cardinals.
If they wind up with the second wild card, the Pirates would fly Sunday night to St. Louis or stay in Cincinnati for the one-and-done game. If the Pirates win the wild-card game, they'd open the NLDS with two road games against the Dodgers, Braves, Cardinals or Reds.
Martin ailing
Catcher Russell Martin was taken out of the game after the fourth inning with discomfort in his left knee. Hurdle said he had no update, "other than we felt it would be best to get him out right then. No need to push him. We use our eyes and talk to our players. His preference would have been to stay in."
By the numbers
The game drew 38,699 fans, marking the 23rd sellout. The three-game series against the Reds drew 116,064 — the second-most for a three-game set at PNC Park. The Pirates attracted 2,256,862 fans this season, the second-highest total at PNC Park (the inaugural season at the stadium drew 2,464,870). The average attendance was 28,211.

An implementation programme to improve nursing home staff's knowledge of and adherence to an individualized music protocol
Sung, Huei-Chuan, Chang, Anne M., & Abbey, Jennifer A. (2008) An implementation programme to improve nursing home staff's knowledge of and adherence to an individualized music protocol. Journal of Clinical Nursing, 17(19), pp. 2573-2579.
Aim: This paper reports the results of a study evaluating an implementation programme in improving nursing home staff's knowledge of and adherence to an individualized music protocol for older people with dementia.-----
Background: The major barriers to evidence-based practice identified by nurses are the lack of knowledge and skills on implementing evidence-based practice. Some evidence supports the effectiveness of implementation strategies in facilitating practice change among healthcare professionals but need further testing. Little is known about what is the best way to facilitate nursing home staff's adoption of evidence-based care.-----
Methods: A one-group pre-post test design was used with a convenience sample of 17 nursing staff from a long-term care facility. The implementation programme consisted of interactive education, reminders, a local opinion leader and audit. Data on nursing staff's knowledge of music protocol were collected by the music knowledge questionnaire and their adherence to the protocol was assessed by an audit checklist at baseline and week four after the implementation programme.-----
Results: There was a significant improvement in nursing staff's knowledge (p < 0·001) of the music protocol. The improvement was greater among nurse aides; however, the improvement between the nurse group and the nurse aide group was not significantly different (p > 0·05). The mean level of their adherence to the protocol improved from nil at baseline to 72·35% on the post-test.-----
Conclusions: An innovative implementation programme consisting of interactive education, reminders, use of a local opinion leader and audit led to an improvement in nursing home staff's knowledge of and adherence to an individualized music protocol in dementia care.-----
Relevance to clinical practice: Multifaceted implementation strategies with careful consideration of local circumstances may be essential in promoting uptake of evidence-based practice among nursing staff in long-term care settings.

Sen. Bob Corker said he was still confident a deal could be reached to avoid the impending, so-called "fiscal cliff" during an appearance on "Meet the Press" Sunday.
Described by show host David Gregory as "calling for compromise," Corker appeared alongside his colleague and Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill, D- Mo.
During the segment, the senator, who recently put his own 242-page deficit reduction plan forward, emphasized his preference for increasing tax revenues through methods other than raising tax rates on the nation's wealthiest earners.
"Well, you can get there in two ways," Corker said. "One of the ways is the way I propose, which is closing loopholes; that's a pro-growth way of getting more revenues from wealthy Americans, and, I think, David, before this is all over with, there's a lot of machinations—there's capital gains, there's dividends, there's all kinds of ways [of] looking at this, and I think cooler heads will prevail. I think we will resolve this, and that's the very best thing we can do to get our economy going."
Corker, a member of the Senate Banking Committee, also repeatedly said that reforming entitlements—specifically Medicare—would be a necessary component for achieving a significant deal before a Jan. 1 deadline. At year's end, a mix of tax increases and automatic spending cuts is set to go into effect and could spiral the economy back toward another recession, according to economic forecasters.
"What [the Obama administration] hasn't done is anything to deal with entitlements, which is painful," he said. "And you're not going to have a deal until that happens."
Corker's plan, called the Fiscal Reform Act of 2012, calls for $641 billion in spending reductions to Medicare. The senator argues that the amount could be achieved by gradually raising the program's eligibility age to 67 and allowing seniors to opt for privately offered medical programs as an alternative to the government system.
Pressed by Gregory to reconcile his calls for entitlement reform with an attack ad leveled by former presidential candidate Mitt Romney against President Barack Obama and his proposals for cuts to Medicare spending during the recent campaign, Corker said that although entitlement reform should remain a serious topic in negations surrounding the cliff, he was not on board with Romney's ad.
"I actually agree that the ad was not the kind of ad that I would run," he said.
Corker also offered brief comments on Obama's forthcoming nomination for secretary of state, predicting the president would not pick U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice.
Having met with Rice last week, Corker will play a key role in weighing the president's nomination for the position next year, as he is presumed to become the ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
"I don't think [Rice] is going to be nominated. I've told people certainly I will give her a fair hearing," he said. "I do think the underlying issue here is people have seen her far more as a political operative and not a principal. I think that's what the White House is witnessing right now."

Feb. 5, 2010
By Cameron Harris, Assistant Media Relations Director
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Former University of Tennessee standouts James Adkins and Mike Lincoln will join fellow former Vols and current professional players J.P. Arencibia, Chase Headley and Luke Hochevar as part of the speaker panel featured at the 18th Annual Tennessee Baseball Leadoff Banquet tonight at the Knoxville Convention Center.
"I'm very excited that James and Mike have agreed to speak at our banquet," UT Head Coach Todd Raleigh said. "They were both terrific players at Tennessee and have continued to represent the Orange and White extremely well at the professional level."
In his three solid seasons on Rocky Top, Adkins became Tennessee's all-time strikeout king with 380 career Ks. That total places the Mt. Juliet, Tenn., native and current Los Angeles Dodgers farmhand in ninth place on the SEC's career strikeouts list. Adkins also ranks second in school history in games started (52), third in innings pitched (355.1) and tied for third in wins (25).
The left-hander utilized a devastating breaking ball to fashion a 3.50 career ERA, highlighted by a career-best season ERA of 2.80 during his junior campaign. Opponents hit just .232 against him throughout his career. In addition to being named a Freshman All-American in 2005, Adkins also was tabbed as the Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA Knoxville Regional after logging a career-high 15 strikeouts during a four-hit, complete-game win over Winthrop.
An eight-year Major League veteran, Mike Lincoln pitched for Tennessee in 1996 after spending his first two collegiate seasons at American River College. During his stay in Knoxville, he helped lead the Vols to an impressive 43-20 overall record and a second-place SEC finish. The 6-2 right-hander was a mainstay in the UT rotation that year, posting a 6-4 record with a 3.33 ERA in 14 appearances, including 10 starts. He tossed a total of 70.1 innings, striking out 76 and walking just 30. He also displayed his versatility on the mound, twirling two complete games in addition to notching a pair of saves.
The Carmichael, Calif., native was drafted in the 13th round of the 1996 MLB Draft by the Minnesota Twins. He made his Major League debut with the Twins in 1999 and spent time with the Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals organizations before signing with his current team, the Cincinnati Reds in 2008.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, Chris Burke will not be able to attend tonight's banquet as previously scheduled.
The preseason banquet will begin with a reception at 5:30 p.m. with dinner and program to follow at 6:30 p.m. Fans will have the opportunity to get autographs during the reception time. Individual tickets are $40 and tables of 10 are $350.
Tennessee Athletics invites you to attend this exciting event. For more information or to reserve your seat visit www.utsports.com or call the UT Athletics Marketing office at (865) 974-1734.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/9/2014 (1029 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Canada was no match for Russia in its opening match of the men's world volleyball championship on Monday in Poland.
Canada, ranked 15th in the world, was swept 3-0 (25-21, 25-19, 25-21) by Russia, ranked No.2. Former Brandon high school stars Dustin Schneider, a 28-year-old setter, and Toon Van Lankvelt, a 29-year-old left side, were in the Canadian lineup but did not play.
Next action for Canada (0-1) is Wednesday when it battles Bulgaria (1-0), which is ranked eighth in the world.

New Ajax Home Kit 2012-13
As part of Just Football's Oranje Wednesdays feature, going forward we will take a look at the fashion of Dutch teams on the same day. We are first going to look at the nation's most successful club, a club steeped in history and tradition, it is the one and only Ajax and their new home kit for the 2012-13 season.
Adidas have subtle changes from last season's home kit. It is a given that whatever kit maker design the Ajax shirt that the world famous white shirt with red thick funnel stripe down the middle of the shirt will always be in place. This season, the red funnel stripe cuts inwards towards the bottom of the shirt and the bottom of the sleeves have a red trim as opposed to thick red funnels like last season. There is now a v-neck with a red pin stripe trim as opposed to last season's flapped collar with red and white halves. An imprint of the Amsterdam coat of arms bearing the words Ajax appear near the bottom of the shirt. The similarities between the kit is that the token Adidas three stripes do not go the whole way down the sleeves. Aegon remain the shirt sponsor of the Amsterdam giants.
One thing that Adidas always manage to do very well every time that they do a new home kit is an innovative and highly entertaining promotional video. In this video Adidas have craftily fitted in to the Ajax Experience in Amsterdam some fake fitting rooms with two way mirrors. As soon as the fans entered the room and tried on the jersey, one of the walls suddenly opened and Ajax players Vurnon Anita, Daley Blind, Jasper Cillessen, Siem de Jong and Kolbeinn Sigthorsson as well as women's team players Leonne Stentler and Babiche Roof gave them a warm welcome!
With such an iconic design, it will always be difficult for Adidas to put a unique spin on the shirt, hence the original and memorable promotional videos that Adidas bring out. In conclusion, I prefer last season's kit, the collar works better and the red funnels at the bottom of the sleeve look slicker than this season's effort.
I would give the kit a 6.3/10.
What do you think of the kit? Do you think that it would be more of a dull effort without the video? Leave your comments below, or share your opinions on Facebook or Twitter.

Mumbai: A couple that scorched the silver screen in the late '80s and the '90s were reportedly falling apart. One time beau, as what tabloids claim, Madhuri and Anil Kapoor were always a little more than being 'just good friends'. But after Mad's return from the USA, things supposedly were okay between the two stars who lighted a million hearts with their sizzling on-screen chemistry in films like Beta, Prainda, Tezaab, Ram Lakhan and others.
Maduri, as reports suggest claims to be in the same round as the Vidyas, Katrinas, Kareenas and the Priyankas now where she demands a hefty 2 to 3 crore for an endorsement and an even more rock solid 5 crore for a film. The diva who rocked the nation with her 'ada' and 'nazakat' had taken a sabbatical from movies post her much hyped marriage and motherhood! But when she returned with 'Aaja Nachle', the wrinkles on her face were clearly testament to the film opening to poor responses. The film eventually bombed at the box office and our Mohini had to return back to where she temporarily belonged, the United States. The epitome of dance, returned to television with an immensely successful season of Jhalak Dikhlajaa, which she felt had made higher openings for her! Yes, true it is! She was signed on as brand ambassador for various brands and even the STAR TV owned 'Life OK' channel. Her demands have increased even more since then.
The buzz word doing the rounds these days was that our jhakaas international icon Anil Kapoor had fallout with our desi Chandramukhi. The reason? Madhuri declined the role of playing mother to Sonam in Anil's desi remake of Freaky Friday! Madhuri, who is a global icon also need to accept ageing with grace and step down the podium just like Juhi and Kajol did! It is not that she shouldn't make films. Others are doing films too. But demanding the same as an actress who is ruling charts today, that might just turn negative on her part!
But recently, announcements were made that the evergreen dup would be walking the red carpet for their 1989 film Parinda at PVR Cinema, Juhu on the 30th this month. Vidhu Vinod Chopra, the producer of the film, in association with PVR cinemas, is organizing a retrospective of his films on his completion of three decades in the industry. The festival would feature all Vidhu Chopra's films, ranging from 'Khamoshi', '1942: A love story', 'Parinda' to 'Munnabhai series' and '3 Idiots' from 29th this month. But needs to be watched with bated breath is how Anil and Madhuri would respond to each other when they finally face each other after the fallout?
Would they celebrate the romance and compassion they portrayed on screen in the National Award winning 'Parinda' or will it just be a pale and dull 'hi' with a kiss on the cheeks? Mum is the word! Lets wait for the 30th!

The longer troops are at home between combat tours to Iraq or Afghanistan, the greater chance they have of developing mental health problems from exposure to combat, according to a massive Pentagon study released today.
The research covers the records of nearly 1.4 million U.S. troops serving in combat from October 2001 to December 2010.
Researchers found the rate of post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression increasing among troops on second or third deployments, before declining as tours continued.
In addition, multiple deployments were linked with higher rates of mental health problems among health care workers in the battle zone than other troops deployed.

They're a true seasonal sensation and can only be found for around two months. Pumpkin ales, unlike other Harvest Ales and Oktoberfest beers are really brewed to be enjoyed at Halloween time. I've tried plenty and here are three that I found to be excellent.
- Buffalo Bill's Pumpkin Ale
- Post Road Pumpkin Ale
- Weyerbacher Imperial Pumpkin Ale (i.m.o., the best one out there)
If you can't find these three, I urge you to purchase a six of one you can. The pumpkin, nutmeg and cinnamon flavors combine to really provide you with a unique drinking experience.

Fresh produce and herbs, as well as vibrant-tasting edible flowers, are helpful for the home cook to have on hand. Growing them in your backyard yields not only convenience but also unmatched flavor for a fraction of the cost of their grocery-store counterparts.
With minimal effort, you can enjoy succulent heirloom tomatoes, heady basil, and uniquely peppery nasturtium―available just steps from the kitchen. Plus, these three plants can be grown just about anywhere in the United States. With the help of plant experts, here are guidelines to help you start an edible garden of your own.
Produce: Tomato
Tomatoes thrive virtually anywhere. All they need is room for their roots, lots of sunshine, water, and fertilizer. "To produce their best fruit, tomatoes need a long, warm growing season," says Renee Shepherd, owner of online seed shop Renee's Garden. "So you'll need to start your seeds indoors six to eight weeks before the last expected frost date in your area." Follow the directions on the seed packet, and transfer the seedlings outdoors two weeks after the last frost.
• Light: Full sun, six to eight hours a day.
• Soil and nutrients: Plant in rich soil prepared with compost or other organic material. Fertilize monthly.
• Water: Keep soil moist but not soggy―about the equivalent of an inch of rain per week, Shepherd says. Be careful not to overwater.
• Stakes: You'll need strong stakes or wire cages to support the vines. "Don't let ripe tomatoes sit on the vine. Pick often to encourage more growth," says Tracy K. Lee, horticulture manager for the Burpee seed company.
• When: Harvest tomatoes when they feel heavy for their size and achieve full color. This doesn't always mean red; heirloom varieties come in a number of colors.
Varieties best for:
• Best overall: There are hundreds of flavor and aesthetic options for heirloom tomatoes. But most experts agree: If you only grow one, go with 'Brandywine.'
• Best for salads and sandwiches: Unique, widely available heirloom options: 'Golden Jubilee,' 'Green Zebra,' or 'Black Russian.'
• Best for sauces: Romas are a medium-sized, plumlike variety that stands up well to simmering.
Other tips and secrets: For best taste, never refrigerate tomatoes; cold damages their flavor.
Herb: Basil
The 64 different species of basil vary in taste from cinnamon to lemon, and go well with pasta, meat, fish, and even chocolate. Basil is a semitropical plant, and temperatures in the 40s can be damaging, Shepherd says, so sow your seeds only when nighttime temperatures are consistently in the 50s. Thin or transplant after the seedlings are established so the plants have room to grow.
• Light: Full sun, six to eight hours a day.
• Soil and nutrients: Plant in rich, well-amended soil. Fertilize once a month with fish emulsion, available at most garden shops.
• Water: Keep the soil moist―about an inch of water per week.
• What: Snip stems just above two sprouting lateral branches to encourage continued growth.
• When: For best flavor, prune when the plant reaches six to seven inches in height. Pinch off any blossoms that appear to keep it producing new leaves as long as possible.
Varieties best for:
• Best for pesto: Italian varieties, such as 'Genovese' and 'Profuma di Genova'
• Best for cooking: Cinnamon basil works well in marinades. Lemon basil is great with chicken, fish, or vegetables.
• Best for salads: The appropriately named 'Salad Leaf' basil has large leaves and a mild, buttery flavor.
Other tips and secrets: Basil's production slows considerably as it ages. Shepherd suggests successive plantings three weeks apart to ensure fresh herbs all season (this also allows you to sample multiple varieties).
Edible Flower: Nasturtium
Originating in the jungles of South America, nasturtiums are remarkably hardy little flowers that will grow easily. They're available in a rainbow of colors and spread quickly to produce lovely foliage and bright blossoms. Nasturtiums' peppery leaves and petals are reminiscent of watercress with a hint of honey. Their seeds can also be dried and ground like black pepper, and the seedpods pickled and used like capers. Plant seeds one inch deep and eight to 12 inches apart after the last frost.
• Light: Full sun, or partial in very hot climates
• Soil and nutrients: Plant in well-drained soil. Fertilizer isn't necessary unless you have poor soil quality.
• Water: Nasturtiums are forgiving; water when soil feels dry.
Blossoms are ready to eat as soon as they open. Pull apart petals and discard stamens and pistils, or use whole as a garnish. The many varieties have similar flavor, but Shepherd likes the blue-green leaves and vermillion blossoms of 'Empress of India' best.
Other edible flowers:
• Best for baking/sweets: Use delicious-but-strong lavender blossoms sparingly―place in a bowl of sugar to flavor, or steep in milk and remove.
• Best for salads/garnish: Rose petals, fuchsia, and marigolds all offer a pleasant taste.
Other tips and secrets: Avoid insecticides or artificial fertilizers on edible flowers. Nasturtiums are naturally pest-resistant, but if you find aphids, remove them by spraying with water.

So, I'm on the social media and I guess everybody can have an opinion especially if you express yours openly. To set this up, I wrote a post about not being able to carry my weapon to work (military base) and this is how the conversation went....
Of course names will be changed for privacy act. Just to let you know B is me.
B- "Doesn't like the fact I can't carry a firearm to work..."
S- "Why do you need to?"
B- "I like to exercise my second amendment right at all times. Sometimes, I stop places before going home (now that we can wear NWU's around town) and even in traffic or getting gas. You never know when an idiot will "act a fool"."
S- "I don't think that's a great reason. Sorry B. I completely respect your right to own a gun, but there's no reason to have it always strapped to your side, especially on a military base. Now in your glove compartment might be a little more acceptable, but I don't want to live in a country where everyone walks around with guns. That could easily spell disaster."
B- "Could spell disaster with uneducated ignorant people that don't know proper gun control. I agree. I don't want it on my side while on base doing my day to day activities at work. I want to keep it in my vehicle while in the squadron, but I can't. I see no need for it while I work. (especially when we have MA's at our gate and you need a line badge to get in the gates). Strange things have been known to happen to and from work. It would just make me feel comfortable to have a firearm in my vehicle and with me wherever I go."
Ok, It pisses me off a little, even though everyone is entitled to their own opinion about guns. I open carry every single day while I'm at home doing chores and what not, also conceal carry. I'm not sure if I handled this right or said the proper things. If anybody has their own opinions about how I handled this or how I could handle similar situations in the future please share!!

I hope you can rework the turtle and bring him back in a future derby, fable, b/c there really is something lovable about the little guy.

Exactly! There are so many well done and interesting designs each week, virtually none of which I get the pleasure of purchasing. And it's getting increasingly frustrating.
For Woot: Why, as a buyer, I should keep returning to what is essentially a monoculture? After a while, the faint hope that something interesting might print is just not enough to keep coming back.
For the Artists: The talent some of you display amazes me. I can't imagine what it's like to invest the time in creating something really cool and interesting and then have it buried beneath crud.
All I have to say is that Woot dropped the ball on this one. They took a shirt that had something to do with the theme, and rejected it. Not only that but it was the best shirt in the derby, and would have sold out by 8am and been in the reckoning for months.
WOOT REJECTOR TAKE NOTE: If you do not take this level of rejection from here on out, and for the more than 75% of the shirts in this derby that have less to do with blue, than this shirt, then you fail at your job. You need to be fair and balanced. If you are actually fair and balanced, I expect to see more rejected designs than accepted designs in the future.

I see the similarities. But it is a different take on the idea. The blue screen of death isn't literally trying to kill the guy in your design. Your design shows a peeved off guy, where as Ramyb shows the computer actually trying to kill the guy.
Maybe it might be a little too close for the rejectionator, but I think they are different enough.

I agree with this patron This was one of the best shirt out there. I was going to buy one for me and for my little lady but everything else in the fog leaps into the vacuum to me so Im not buying anymore

Re: Bluer than Blue
Thanks rjpulse
binkdrop- No worries, sorry to make you feel a little blue as well. I tried another style and subject matter, since my latest attempts were not too warmly received by the masses. I'm still searching for that "magic" combination of subject matter, art and style (wooters are a tough crowd). This one will probably be rejected anyways (since the other "Cookie Monster" design got rejected) or I'll pull it from the derby later. Cheers.
Re: They Pick On Me
While I was browsing your gallery of t shirts, you seem to have one that looks exactly like this, the one in the third row to the left, just on a different shirt color and the last one looks angry instead of sad. I dont know but something about that seems a bit off to me.
Quit wasting our time.
re: the binge
Adder's right on. The first one kept at least one major distinguisher of the copyrighted character in question (namely the eyes, though as I stated before those boggle eyes are used on lots of characters). Here we have a lump of blue fur that dosen't even show a head, and one arm. Also the character would never be found in a situation as depicted. As an added twist I threw in the missing cookies image on the milk carton for extra kicks. This could be any of a number of characters, from multiple creative universes if you exclude the props around him (Seriously how many monsters do you know that are blue, think about it) It could even be a bigfoot with a bad coloring job...

Does dry-cleaning get rid of radio-activity?
I am posting this between putting the turkey in the oven and getting the pudding on the boil. The husband and daughter meanwhile are just back from (?recovering from) a visit to the Ukraine – part sourcing objects for an exhibition at the Royal Academy and part (this was the daughter's idea, needless to say) making a trip to Chernobyl.
Poor naïve creature that I am, I hadn't realised that it was possible actually to visit Chernobyl. But you can now get an easy-to-arrange, custom-made, rather pricey trip from Kiev, with organisations that will get you a visa to visit the "exclusion zone" (a visa's still necessary), drive you out from Kiev and show you round. Right up to the "sarcophagus" itself, as you can see in the picture.
Of course this is a moving experience. Heaven knows what is actually happening to the local people now. But I was particularly struck by the tales the family brought back of the (then) Soviet workers who leapt in to the reactor to block off the radio-active surge – knowing that it would kill them within days (which it did). And despite all that follows, I'd recommend taking the trip – even if that is a second-hand judgement. Inter alia the site has become an amazing animal refuge/rare breeds centre…and the animals happily seem normal enough.
But Mum's question was, predictably: is it dangerous? Or dangerous for humans?
Well, to start from the guide-book – you can be pretty laid back about Chernobyl itself, but it's definitely not a good idea to eat the mushrooms in Kiev or eat the river fish. Fair enough. But the second night they were there, husband and daughter were taken out to glitzy dinner by local hosts. What do you think was on the menu? Mushrooms to start with, followed by sturgeon. What do you think they did?
Eat it, of course.
After that, Chernobyl itself was a bit of a walk over, and full of all the disconcerting pleasures you find in an abandoned town (that's the abandoned ferris wheel on the left) . Lunch was provided and guaranteed (not quite sure how) to be sourced from outside the area, and the party of husband, daughter and the information officer had a dosimeter in the car, which bleeped ominously (but not too ominously they were told) at various points. But despite the claim on the website that a change of clothes would be offered, this particular bit of "health and safety" had been given up years ago. It really wasn't necessary. In fact the local lore is that you pick up less radiation after a day at Chernobyl than on a trans-Atlantic flight.
There was much cavalier talk on the family's return. But I did notice that the daughter put her clothes in the washing machine uncharacteristically promptly after she got back, confident – I guess – that whatever particles of radio-activity were left (does radio-activity have "particles"?) would thus be removed.
Husband was soon to follow. Except that his coat and trousers were "dry-clean only". OK, so it had to be. But, we wondered, does dry cleaning get rid of radio-activity? Or does it just spread it to every one else's clothes at the cleaners?
And was all this anxiety necessary anyway? I mean, would I have worried about this if I'd just been to the USA on an airplane? And would we have known better if we'd done that Physics GCSE?
Who knows, but the clothes are currently being dry-cleaned (and no one had actually asked if they were contaminated…)
Oh well…now, for me, it's a quick trip to the library where (I hope) I left my key last night, and then it's back to the Home Economics of the pudding (you need to steam it for longer than you can imagine, I seem to remember), and the sprouts. Then the rest of the troops do the clearing up and I sleep it off.

2011-12-08 / Schools
Simulated disaster at CLU helps ready response teams
Exercise funded by federal grant
Toxic fumes forced a hasty evacuation of a Cal Lutheran University chemistry class during an emergency exercise Dec. 5.
The simulated disaster seemed real: Student Jeremy Hanna wore an oxygen mask; yellow tape circled the deserted Ahmanson Science Center; fire engines and ambulances crowded campus parking lots and pathways.
Fred Miller, CLU's director of safety and security, had asked fire officials to conduct the exercise in preparation for future emergencies.
The five-hour drill was funded by a 2009 Urban Area Security Initiative grant, which can also be used to purchase emergency equipment and provide hazardous materials response training.
Participating in the exercise were students acting as victims and about 60 personnel from CLU, Ventura County Fire Department, Ventura City Fire Department, Oxnard Fire Department, Ventura County Federal Fire Department, American Medical Response, Ventura County Environmental Health Division, Ventura County Sheriff's Office of Emergency Services and Thousand Oaks Police Department.
The simulation included twists and turns for CLU staff and emergency responders, most of whom had not been told how the disaster would unfold.
What began as a medical call from Hanna soon involved additional patients, hazardous materials and a crime scene.
An alarm blared while students filed out of the science center around 9: 30 a. m. Ten students in the evacuated class feigned coughs, dizziness and itchy, burning skin while being treated by paramedics. But when a firefighter decontaminated the victims by hosing them down with cold water, their screams were not scripted.
"I'm freezing," said student Amanda Chial. "But I learned to stay calm and cooperative in an emergency. It gets things done faster."
Seated in a paramedics van, Hanna explained his role as a student who allegedly released mustard gas in the science center.
In a real situation, Hanna's crime would bring in the FBI and shut down the building for days, said Andy Ortega, a battalion chief with the county fire department. His job during the drill was to evaluate the performances of the various agencies.
"They're working together. That's what we want. We want the agencies to come together," Ortega said.
Capt. Ron Oatman of the Ventura County Fire Department said the exercise was a rare chance for the separate agencies to perform as a team.
"We don't on a daily basis get to work with all of the agencies," he said.
The event also reminded participants that wildfires and earthquakes aren't the only disasters Californians need to prepare for, the fire captain said.
"The world we live in includes the possibility of terrorism," Oatman said. "No matter where you are, you should always be thinking of your contingency plan. 'How would I react? Do I know where things are?'"
Hazmat Officer Steve Baker said this was the first large-scale emergency exercise performed at CLU.
"This is a chance to work with Cal Lutheran on a scenario that we think is realistic," Baker said. "We're going to take the lessons we learn today and turn those into training points for both CLU and all the agencies represented here."

Thoughts on a Dremel Muli-max?
I am thinking of purchasing this Multi-max to use as a jam saw. (I am getting ready to do a big flooring job.)
Anyway, I read that people have purchased these for one job and then find 1000 different things to use it for but I hate uni-taskers and I am worried about spending $100 on a tool I only use once.
Anyone else have one of these?
I bought one because I felt like I needed it in my business. I have not found 1000 uses for it yet but I feel that it is definitely worth the $97 or so I paid for it. I have no plans to use the sanding pads, but may one day. I for one have not had the bad experience of others with the blade(s) vibrating loose. Maybe I got a newer version or something. For trimming out new door jambs, new thresholds, and I have even used it on a roof fitting replacement lap siding on a dormer window. Works for me. Thanks, David
I bought one last weekend. It would have been worth the price of it alone to have had it about 8 hours earlier, when I was halfway underneath a cabinet, trying to cut out a piece of ledger board with a battery powered dremel tool. It looks pretty slick to me, and it's a fraction of the price of a Fein Multimaster...
Hard to beat for $100.00. I probably won't use the sanding pads much either, but for cutting in tight spaces it works well. May not be a Fein, but for the limited use I;ll be using it for it's fine.
I did purchase the multi-max recently and found to be all it was advertised to be. It is a great tool for getting into tight spaces where traditional cutting tools (handsaw, circular saw) cannot. Surprising easy to control and fast cutting. Would recommend it to anyone.
I have not (and probably never will) used it to cut drywall, but it does great on wood. Should make quick work of drywall, I'm just used to using other tools for cutting it. The few times I've used mine I can say it is easy to handle....
Being on a bit of as tight budget these days I took an even cheaper route and bought the Harbor Freight version for $34(after my 15% off coupon that came in my mailer) I tried it out on a piece of casing and was surprised how easily and smothly it sliced right into it. I too never forsee using the sanding disc, but the time this will save me in cutting baseboards and crown moulding will be well worth the cost.
I had actually looked for the China Freight version before I got the Dremel. They were always out of stock. I'm sure theirs is fine for occasional use...
Funny I should read this today. I had some repairs to a townhouse to do. The dormer windows on the roof both had rotted wood on the "nose" of the window sill. I don't like to replace the entire sill if I don't have to and have replaced just the nose before. Some of them are two piece and that makes things easier, some are not so I have to do it the hard way. The hard way was to use my battery operated small skill saw and cut what I could from side to side and finish with a compass saw. That was before today- -I'm up on a ladder looking at this one piece window sill and remembered I had bought the Dremel Multimaster tool recently, on sale. I go get it, put the little blade in it, drag the cord up the ladder and used it to cut just the front (1 3/4" or so) of the window sill off. I took a chance and cut the two staples where the brick mold was attached to the sill at the factory with it. Worked for me anyway. This is probably the fastest, and easiest I have ever cut one off. Now, off to find the other 999 uses for this tool. Thanks, David
End thoughts
Thanks for all the replies, after much consideration I am just going to save about $80 and buy a japanese saw to cut the jams with. I just don't think I will use the multi-max enough to justify the price tag.
Good move Wrangler. I buy their heat guns (about $9.00 on sale) for drying joint compound on patchwork. They generally last a year or a little better (with pretty frequent use) so I don't go with the extended warranty. I bought a sharpener for circular saw blades ($60.00 on sale I think) and I did go for the warranty on it. I figure one 12" - 80 tooth blade and it's just abut paid for itself.....
Have you tried the sharpener yet? I've never tried to sharpen a blade and have wondered if they still perform as well and as long as new. Also, has anyone found a good source for blades for the oscillating saws? All that I have found so far are pretty pricey. I was thinking that I might even try to make my own by cutting up a flush cut saw.
I haven't gotten around to the sharpener yet. The instructions that came with it aren't the best. Going to try to find some more info on line if possible on "how to". I've got several old "regular" blades to experiment on before I try the good carbide ones. Several years ago there was a guy in the area who sharpened blades and handsaws for a nominal fee, so it's "doable". Might play with it this afternoon if I get a minute.....
As far as the blades for the multi tool, I picked up a couple of extras at HD. They are kind of pricey for such a small blade, but still cheaper than the Fein blades. There's probably an online source that's more reasonable, but haven't found it yet.

text: GOLDEN, Colo., Jan. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- According to a recent survey conducted by HomeAdvisor*, a leading online destination for home repair and improvement, more than half of US homeowners (53 percent) do not engage in any annual maintenance for their home, and only 18 percent of homeowners are very confident in their general knowledge of their home's annual maintenance needs. To help educate homeowners on their home maintenance needs, Amy Matthews, TV Host and HomeAdvisor's Home Improvement Expert, has partnered with HomeAdvisor to develop the HomeAdvisor Home Report Card, a free quiz homeowners can take at HomeAdvisor.com to assess their knowledge of home maintenance and to learn simple steps to improve the health of their home. Additionally, Matthews offers homeowners five simple, useful tips to keep their homes in shape year round. "As a homeowner and licensed contractor I know that keeping your house in top shape requires routine care and maintenance," said Matthews. "The Home Report Card will help homeowners determine their overall home knowledge. Additionally, I have five simple tips to help identify important home maintenance needs that can prevent costly unexpected repairs in the future." Matthews offers homeowners the following five tips to keep their homes in shape this New Year: Spray Foam Insulation According to survey findings*, 77 percent of bill-paying US homeowners are at least somewhat concerned about their high energy bills this winter. Small holes in foundation or siding, including anywhere pipes or wires penetrate the envelope of the home, can cause serious heat loss and increased costs. These small crevices can be the equivalent of having a window open all winter. Matthews recommends using a can of spray foam insulation to seal these cracks to help save money on energy bills. Hot Water Heater Hot water heaters are becoming more energy efficient, but a homeowner who is not yet ready to upgrade can still get the best use out of their current appliance. A helpful tip is to see if the hot water heater is warm to the touch, and if so, to wrap it with an insulated blanket. This will help it work more efficiently.
