Will definitely use again.Date published: 2015-07-27Rated 5 out of 5 by bubblesdeville from superb product used this product as directed by other reviewers and worked amazingly after some time of having fogging on my helmet visorDate published: 2015-05-05Rated 4 out of 5 by bidzy from anti fog Good product , seems to work well and clears gogglesDate published: 2013-10-11Rated 5 out of 5 by BikermanVN from Excellent. Does what it says on the bottle This product is amazing. Really works, but best treat your visor twice at a time, instead of the once as directed. But otherwise this anti-fog spray is an excellent product. With highly recommend it :-)Date published: 2013-02-24Rated 4 out of 5 by RockeyB from Good product.... Prior to purchasing this product i was struggling a lot of fog, as soon as the bike stopped everything used to fog up including my glasses. I used this product and followed the instructions from previous reviewer and was very impressed by the results. Don't expect that this product will get rid of fog completely but it does help and make it much better as compared to a visor without it. The product is quite expensive though for the amount you get, perhaps invest in a pin lock which will save you the hassle of using something else on your visor again and again. Overall quick solution and a good product.Date published: 2012-04-29

A good pub meal makes life better, turns hearts fond, eyes bright and generally helps the earth spin at a jauntier angle. If you're doubtful, fight the regulars for a table at O'Connell's. You'll see that I'm right.
The stately corner pub was built in 1873 as O'Connell's Centenary Hotel. In 1990 it relaunched as one of Melbourne's first gastropubs and, since then, it's seen excellent chefs (most notably, Greg Malouf, Cath Kalka and Adrian Richardson) hone their styles and please the throngs. New owners and a smart refurb earlier this year have given new life to old bones. The beautiful front parlour has a snaking bar, the dining room is carpeted so conversation is possible and a large pavement area feels like the perfect spot for a staycation steak. Strong service speaks of a happy culture and bonhomie is served up with the same consistency as the food.
Chef Ian Alexander (ex-Gill's Diner) started in spring but he hasn't reinvented the menu, possibly because some changes would see South Melbourne erupt into revolution. There's always a pot pie with a towering puff crust: it might be beef, Guinness and mushroom, pork shoulder and mustard, or chicken and leek, and it always comes with mashed potato and mushy peas. The comfort food theme continues with the veal schnitzel crumbed with parsley and pecorino, and a classy burger, at least one of which always seems to be waiting on the pass to be ferried to a salivating diner.
There's joyous retro appeal in the iceberg lettuce dotted through the menu, and in dishes like ricotta-stuffed zucchini flowers, salmon gravlax with dill creme fraiche and the choice of creamy peppercorn, red wine and mushroom sauce for the grass-fed steaks.
More elaborate dishes include a confit pork shoulder rolled up with black pudding and scattered with crisp strips of pig ear. Rhubarb and rice pudding topped with cinnamon ice-cream is still trucking on in the warmer weather. The ice-cream is made here, as is the blood sausage, gravlax, sauces and chutneys. I think the honest toil of preparing stuff from scratch shines through in reliable food that delivers exactly what it promises without overreaching. The fact that O'Connell's stays open right through the holidays is yet another reason to love it.

As the owner of a device with exactly a 16MB/128MB flash/ram setup, I
welcome this change. If it'll help development along, I think it'll be
well worth the upgrade for people that need to do so.

It seems like the making up season is going on in Bollywood these days as after years of not speaking with each other Vidya Balan and Aditya Chopra have decided to make up and become friends again. And everyone is pointing fingers in the direction of Vidya's mentor Pradeep Sarkar for this good deed.
Apparently Vidya had refused to do two back to back films of YRF Productions which were Jhoom Barabar Jhoom and Pradeep Sarkar's Laga Chunari Mein Daag which did not go down to well with the heads at YRF camp and it was reported that even Pradeep was not too pleased with her himself. But Vidya and Pradeep Sarkar made up later and now Pradeep has got the two big wigs of Bollywood talking again.
According to the reports Pradeep Sarkar wants Vidya to do his third film as Laga Chunari Mein Daag and Lafangay Parinday bombed at the box office. Since YRF Productions is producing this movie, it is essential that Vidya and Aditya remain at good terms.
When Pradeep was contacted, he said, "Am I making Aditya meet Vidya?" "Well…," he continued, "Abhi tak baatchit nahin hui hai. Let me complete the script in all respects. But yes, I would love to work with Vidya again."

People looking for a new car or overseas holiday are set to reap the rewards of a strong dollar even as other living costs climb.
The dollar jumped to a fresh post-float high of $US1.085 following the publication of inflation data yesterday. Economists predict it will rise further as the prospect of a rate rise builds. The currency, which was at parity with the US dollar at the start of the year, hit $US1.033 at the end of March and has made striking gains, increases which have helped control rises in living costs.
Australian Bureau of Statistics figures show that in the March quarter the cost of furniture fell 6.2 per cent, major household appliances 5 per cent, cars 0.5 per cent and overseas travel 2.5 per cent, due in part to the strength of the currency.
Consumers could reap similar benefits for months to come. The interest rate differential between Australia and other major economies looks set to widen, spurring more carry trade activity that will support the dollar. (The carry trade is where investors borrow in a country with low interest rates and invest in a country with high interest rates.)
Early signs that underlying inflation pressures are building have generated speculation of interest rate rises.
The Reserve Bank of Australia's official cash rate of 4.75 per cent is one of the highest among the developed economies. Economists predict it could reach 5 or 5.25 per cent by the end of the year.
The wide gap between Australia's official interest rate and that of major countries like the United States and Japan, where it hovers close to zero, has encouraged the carry trade.
AMP Capital Investors chief economist
He predicted the currency could reach $US1.10 by the end of the year.
The attractiveness of the carry trade was expected to be underlined overnight when US Federal Reserve chairman
Dr Oliver said carry trades had become increasingly "in vogue" as the risk appetite of investors increased, and the likelihood of persistent low rates in the United States and Japan would provide further encouragement.
He said that there was little prospect of either country tightening monetary policy in the near future.
St George Bank senior economist Jo Heffernan said that the difference in interest rates between Australia, the US and Japan was likely to stay wide for some time, sustaining carry trade activity and helping support the currency, with spin-off benefits for consumers buying imported goods and services.
Exporters are hurt by the high dollar because it makes their products less competitive overseas.
Ms Heffernan said that, by contributing to cheaper cars, holidays and household goods, the strong dollar was helping the Reserve Bank control inflation.

His neck is always craned, ears pricked, waiting for cymbal splash of Art happening.
This object has been interpreted as a cymbal held up by a dancing figure.
The band opened with a terrifying clash of cymbal, and thump of drum.
And now the trio was a trio of castanet smacks and cymbal claps.
We shall then lay bare the mechanism which produces the sound, the cymbal.
The cymbal of the Austrian gypsies is a stringed instrument, like the zitter.
He played the clavier, the flgel, the cymbal with equal creative power, and the organ—who is like him?
The cymbal is uncovered, and is visible just behind the attachment of the hinder wing.
Behind him flaunted the great gonfanon of Spain, and trump and cymbal heralded his approach.
He worshipped the lofty, but it was with tabor and cymbal and high-sounding lute.
from Old English cimbal and from Old French cymbale (13c.), both from Latin cymbalum, from Greek kymbalon "a cymbal," from kymbe "bowl, drinking cup."
A large, round metal plate used as a percussion instrument. Cymbals can be crashed together in pairs or struck singly with a drumstick, and they are used in dance bands, jazz bands, and orchestras.

THE sell-out CarFest event begins tomorrow when thousands of campers and day visitors will descend on Laverstoke Park Farm to enjoy a great line-up of entertainment and raise thousands of pounds for Children in Need.
Organised by BBC Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans, this year's event will kick off on Friday, when The One Show will be filmed live on stage.
Tomorrow morning, the farm will be on BBC One when Carol Kirkwood will present the weather forecast live.
Chris said: "It's always really special to go back to Laverstoke as, in many ways, it's the spiritual home of CarFest.
"This year promises to be the best yet too, as we've lined up some truly fabulous cars, great live bands plus an utterly unbelievable array of family entertainment. I can't wait to get revving and rocking all over again."
The Hill Climb will return for the third year, when Chris' own Magnificent Seven collection of Ferraris will race along the track, joining an impressive collection of other supercars, including Ford's yet-to-be-released 2015 Mustang V8 Fastback and Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason's an Unusual Seven.
Former Formula One world champion Jody Scheckter, who owns the farm with his wife Clare, will also have his F1 Seven cars on display, which include several of those he raced to Grand Prix victories.
Other entertainment will include a showground with a mega Monster Truck display, motorcycle exploits from DR Stunts all the way from Australia and a quad-bike stunt show.
Racing sheep will compete in the Lamb National while the low-flying Red Barrows will impersonate the high-flying antics of the world famous RAF Red Arrows.
The Red Arrows will fly over the skies of CarFest as part of an amazing three-day air display that will also feature an RAF Chinook, an Abarth stunt plane and The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight with two Lancaster Bombers, a Hurricane and Spitfire.
The family festival will also deliver a range of activities for children, including ball-based sports and story-reading lessons.
Cookery workshops will be provided by Laverstoke Park Farm. One of the attractions not to miss will be the Cake v Pies competition on Sunday afternoon, when BBC One's Great British Bake Off judges Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry will take to the stage to judge the entries.
A top line-up of musical acts will entertain the crowds during the evening, including Jamie Cullum, Texas, 10cc and Sophie Ellis-Bexter.
Chris announced on his breakfast show yesterday that the Kaiser Chiefs will headline the main stage on Saturday night.
It is hoped that this year's CarFest will raise even more money to help change the lives of disadvantaged children and young people, with even more visitors being allowed on site after Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council agreed to a request by Mr and Mrs Scheckter to allow an increase in numbers attending.

First of all bear with me - I'm not really a programmer.
I've been looking at using an XBMC remote app, for either Android or Windows phone, to control an XBMC instance that I'd like to be headless - ie no monitor.
An important feature of this will be selecting radio stations served up from a DVBViewer recording service via UPnP.
No remote I've seen yet does this and I've had a search around and it seems possible like the current API doesn't support it.
But I also read that you're developing a new remote using a new API.
So the question is - does the new remote / API combination support such things as selecting from UPnP sources?
UPnP sources?

Generic uPnP sources, no. Plug-ins running in XBMC that use uPnP sources, probably.

Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forums before posting. Do NOT e-mail Team-XBMC members asking for support. For troubleshooting and bug reporting, make sure you read this first.

Trisha (Teffeteller) Selgrath
"I spent the last decade designing decorative art. I thought about trends, considered colors and themes that would appeal to large segments of the population. Before that, I did commercial art and advertising, designed to please others, match the aesthetics of the day and judged only by how well it sold the product. While taking the safe route provided a comfortable living, in my soul, I knew that I did not want to leave this Earth without first becoming a fine artist.
In this decade, I will emerge by expressing who I am and what I've experienced. I will share images that fill me with emotions that I attempt to define. I hope that in viewing my landscapes, you will have a reaction similar to how I felt when I first discovered these extraordinary places."
~ Trisha Selgrath
Now, back to the beginning. . .
Born in the town of Maryville, Tennessee at the foot of the Smoky Mountain National Park, Trisha always loved exploring nature and drawing. She was grateful that her parents approved of her pursuit of a Fine Arts Degree. After graduating from the University of North Texas, she took the "practical" route through commercial art and advertising.
After spending years climbing the corporate ladder from Art Director to Creative Director, she realized that the higher she went, more of her time was spent conceptualizing and meeting with clients instead of hands-on designing and illustrating. So she left the fast track to paint and start a family.
In 1997, while pregnant with her first child, she was painting a large mural on his bedroom wall when the idea for Imaginative Murals was born. She combined all her experience with printing and her love of painting to create inexpensive prints of elaborately painted murals. "In my home studio, I painted the murals on canvas or wooden panels while the baby slept and my husband, Randy Selgrath, called on stores to sell them on the idea", Trisha explained. One of their first major accounts was Home Depot so they quickly expanded into a warehouse working with kids in tow.
The artist admitted, "Launching a business and starting a family at the same time is not easy but it afforded us both more time with our children. We juggled packing and shipping with playing, stepping over toys and avoiding speeding tricycles." They were the first on the market to sell die-cut, trompe l'oeil style murals and quickly gained international distribution through tradeshows reaching retailers, decorators, catalogs, TV shopping networks and the internet. Mustering up all her courage, Trisha even made "live" appearances on QVC and HSN (Home Shopping Network). Using her backgound in advertising and marketing, Trisha created branding, collateral, packaging, sales materials, websites, and advertisements.
Over a decade later, they are still selling murals, however, now, Trisha prints them herself on a large format, digital printer. You can browse through the designs on their RTZ Company website. Also, Trisha developed a line of motivational and inspirational art and gifts called Re-defined for Life. The selection of over 50 original quotes and designs is available in a variety of forms on the Re-defined website.
Trisha will launch her first fine art collection of originals
and self-published, highly limited edition giclees in 2013.

Chairman Menendez Statement on Being Sanctioned by the Russian Government
Press Contact :
Brussels, Belgium – U.S. Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, issued the following statement after being sanctioned by the Russian government.
"President Putin's military invasion and annexation of Crimea is brutal, totally unacceptable, and sadly returns us to a period of Cold War aggression and hostility. It doesn't have to be this way, but if standing up for the Ukrainian people, their freedom, their hard earned democracy, and sovereignty means I'm sanctioned by Putin, so be it."

Gefilte fish, pickled fish, smoked fish, sweet-and-sour fish … all Jewish cooks are familiar with fish in one incarnation or another. And what better time to think fish than when the weather starts to get warmer — finally! — and when Passover time rolls around.
Although prepared differently in the myriad of Jewish ethnic kitchens, a fish dish is always appreciated because of its versatility, its pareve consideration for kashrut followers, and the fact that it may be eaten at a dairy or meat meal.
And for that special celebratory meal, a spectacular butter-and-cream-laden dessert may follow without the restrictions of a fleishic dinner.
I frequently receive requests for fish dishes that are simple to prepare, doable in advance and fit to feed a crowd — in other words, "party fish." And after all, Passover, in some ways, is one big party.
The recipes below no longer require a day's devotion or lots of last-minute detailing. For best results, use the freshest fish you can find. Here are some more tips.
· Establish a relationship with your local fish monger. He will become your ally in your quest for freshness.
· Don't buy fish packed in Styrofoam trays. The fish is sitting and disintegrating in its own liquid.
· If you are buying a whole fish, make sure the eye is clear, not cloudy. Fillets should be moist-looking.
· Ask to smell the fish; it should smell like the ocean.
· Cook fish within one day of purchase.
Sweet-and-Sour Fish Fillets
2 lbs. filet of sole or snapper, each filet cut into 4 pieces
1 cup matzah meal
salt and freshly ground black pepper
olive oil, for frying, plus 2 Tbsps. additional
1 large, juicy orange, very thinly sliced
11/2 lbs. onions, very thinly sliced (6 cups)
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
1/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup balsamic or red-wine vinegar
1 cup orange juice
1 bay leaf
fresh greens
Pat the fish dry with paper towels.
Spread the matzah meal on a sheet of wax paper or a platter, and season with salt and pepper. Dredge the fish pieces, then shake lightly to remove excess.
Heat 1/4-inch of oil in a large heavy skillet until hot. Cook the fish in batches until nicely golden on both sides. Drain well on paper towels.
Choose a casserole or nonreactive baking dish just large enough to accommodate the fish in one layer and line it with the orange slices. Place fish on top, overlapping pieces slightly, if necessary.
Wipe out all the oil in the skillet, then warm the 2 tablespoons of fresh oil in it. Add the onions and toss until completely coated with the oil. Salt and pepper lightly, cover the pan, and cook slowly over very low heat for 35-40 minutes, until the onions are tender and starting to color.
Soak the raisins in the vinegar.
When the onions are very tender, add the vinegar with the raisins, the orange juice and bay leaf. Turn the heat up to high and cook, uncovered, until the liquid is reduced by half, and onions are caramelized and richly colored, 15 to 20 minutes. Season generously with salt and pepper, and remove the bay leaf.
Spread the caramelized-onion mixture evenly over fish. Scatter the toasted pine nuts on top. Wrap well with plastic and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight (even better when served after 48 hours). It will keep very well for at least 4 days.
The fish is best at room temperature, so remove it from the fridge at least 1 hour before serving. Serve on a bed of greens.
Serves 8 as an appetizer, or 4 to 6 as a main course.
Party Poached Salmon With Herbed Mayonnaise
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup finely chopped watercress leaves
1 Tbsp. coarse-grained Dijon mustard
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup dry white wine
1 shallot, thinly sliced
4 fresh parsley sprigs
1 fresh thyme sprig
6 center-cut salmon fillets (6 oz. each) with skin
Mix the first four ingredients in small bowl to blend; season to taste with salt and pepper.
Combine 1/3 cup water, wine, shallot, parsley and thyme in large skillet.
Place salmon fillets, skin-side down, in skillet; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Cover skillet tightly and simmer over medium-low heat until salmon is barely opaque in center, about 10 minutes.
Remove from heat; let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Transfer salmon to platter; discard wine mixture.
Cover salmon with plastic wrap and chill until cold, at least 4 hours.
Place 1 salmon fillet on each of 6 plates. Serve with watercress mayonnaise.
Makes 6 servings.
Gingered Fish-and-Mushroom Soup
1 oz. dried Oriental black mushrooms, soaked in 1 cup of hot water for 30 minutes
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 Tbsp. sesame oil
3 scallions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbsps. grated fresh ginger
6 cups vegetable stock
1 Tbsp. sherry vinegar
2 Tbsps. low-sodium soy sauce
11/2 lbs. white fish fillets, such as halibut, sea bass, roughy or snapper, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/2 lb. (about 8 cups) spinach, coarsely chopped
salt and pepper
Drain mushrooms and reserve soaking liquid. Squeeze out excess liquid from mushrooms, discard stems, and cut caps into thin strips.
In a large pot, heat the vegetable and sesame oils on medium-high. Cook the scallions, garlic and ginger until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook for another 3 minutes.
Add the stock, 1/2 cup of mushroom soaking liquid, vinegar and soy sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer about 5 minutes.
Add the fish and spinach, and simmer another for 4 minutes. Taste for salt and pepper and serve.
Serves 8.
Sautéed Snapper With Tomatoes and Olives
6 snapper fillets, about 6 oz. each
1 Tbsp. paprika
matzah meal for dredging
3 Tbsps. olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 cup chopped tomatoes
30 Spanish olives, pitted and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup fish or vegetable stock
1/4 cup lemon juice
salt and pepper
chopped parsley
Blot the fish dry. Combine the paprika and matzah meal. Dredge filets in mixture and shake off excess.
In a large pan, heat the oil. Sauté the snapper about 21/2 minutes per side. Remove and keep warm.
In the same pan, sauté the onion and garlic until soft, about 2 minutes.
Stir in the tomatoes and olives, and cook another for 2 minutes.
Add the stock, bring to a boil and cook for another 2 minutes.
Stir in the lemon juice. Taste for salt and pepper.
To serve, top each fillet with the olive mixture. Sprinkle with parsley.
Serves 6.

Nolanville — More than 30 area bikers kicked up their stands Saturday at Kay's Motorcycle Mania during an event to raise funds for the William R. Courtney Veterans Home in Temple.
Michael "Thumbtack" Nail, Sergeant of Arms for the local chapter of the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association, said the first annual 9/11 Vets for Vets Memorial Run is a great way for active-duty soldiers to support veterans.
"We take care of our older vets now so later on when I can't do (things) for myself, it's going to help me and my family and the rest of these guys out," he said.
Vanessa "Skunk" Avalos, of Killeen, said she started riding when her husband, a combat veteran who served in Iraq, retired in 2008.
"This is a really good fit for him because he can be with other people who have gone through what he's been through," she said.
The Army wife of 28 years said it's important to give back to veterans and families.
Avalos said civilians don't know what it's like to send your husband off, not knowing if he will come back.
"We go through so much — the deployments, being separated, the loss," she said. "I had a baby by myself because he was deployed. I kept the family together and we've moved a lot."
Retired Sgt. Robert "Nuttin" Singletary, who came up from the Austin chapter of the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association to participate in the ride, also emphasized the importance of helping fellow veterans, especially in the community surrounding Fort Hood, where the needs of veterans are magnified.
"I see so many that do not have the support, and if there's something that I can do to help them and make their lives better, then it's worth it," he said. "It's vets helping vets."

When I do a remote log on to my home computer it'll ask me to wait while

Former rugby league player Glenn Lazarus has an outside chance of winning a Queensland Senate seat for Clive Palmer's new party, and Labor is clinging to its eight seats in the Sunshine state and will struggle to pick up more.
If the former Brisbane Broncos prop is elected, Opposition Leader Tony Abbott will be a step closer to being able to abolish the carbon tax without relying on the agreement of Labor or the Greens.
An Australian Financial Review/Nielsen poll of Queensland finds Labor has made no inroads into Coalition support in Kevin Rudd's home state, dashing any final hopes the government had of picking up seats there to offset losses in NSW and elsewhere.
Labor's losses could now include up to eight seats in western Sydney alone.
Being a Queenslander has afforded Mr Rudd no personal advantage over Mr Abbott either.
The poll of 1014 voters, conducted over the weekend, finds since the 2010 election, the Coalition's primary vote in Queensland has fallen 2.4 percentage points to 45 per cent, Labor's has fallen 2.6 points to 31 per cent and the Greens have fallen 2.9 per cent to 8 per cent.
All these falls were due to the two new players, the Palmer United Party, which is level pegging the Greens in Queensland on 8 per cent, and Katter's Australian Party, started by independent Bob Katter, which is on 4 per cent.
Based on asking each person how they would allocate preferences, the Coalition leads Labor in Queensland on a two-party, preferred basis by 53 per cent to 47 per cent. This represents a two-point swing to Labor since the last election which, if replicated uniformly across Queensland on Saturday, would see it pick up the three Coalition seats of Brisbane, Forde and Longman.
But swings are never uniform and internal polling from both parties suggests all three seats will stay in Coalition hands and Labor could still lose such seats as Lilley, held by former treasurer Wayne Swan. "The Coalition has a significant primary vote lead in Queensland but Palmer and Katter preferences will determine close seats,'' said Nielsen poll director
Poll confirms Rudd lift in Qld has not happened
The 8 per cent support for the PUP would not be enough to win Mr Palmer a lower house seat but, if replicated in the Senate, Mr Lazarus could be elected on preferences, including those from Mr Katter's party.
When the poll numbers are punched in to
If the Senate balance in the other states remained unchanged, the Coalition would have 34 senators, Labor 30, the Greens nine, and there would be Mr Lazarus,
When Mr Rudd regained the Labor leadership in June, it was hoped in Labor he would lift Labor's vote significantly in his native Queensland. The Nielsen poll confirms it has not happened and Mr Abbott is regarded just as well, if not more, than Mr Rudd.
The poll shows in Queensland, Mr Rudd's approval rating is 45 per cent. His disapproval is 50 per cent.
Mr Abbott's approval rating is 49 per cent and his disapproval 48 per cent. The men are tied as preferred prime minister at 46 per cent each.
Also, 46 per cent of Queenslanders rate Mr Abbott as trustworthy, compared with 39 per cent for Mr Rudd.
NSW threatens to exacerbate loss
On the economy, 58 per cent rate the Coalition as the party preferred to handle it, compared with 35 per cent for Labor. A massive 72 per cent believe the Coalition will win Saturday's election, compared with just 18 per cent backing Labor.
The poll shows that the 53 per cent to 47 per cent, two-party preferred result is the best-case scenario for Labor.
Allocating preferences is problematic because there was no KAP or PUP candidates at the last election.
Mr Stirton found a 54-46 Coalition lead – which is still a one-point swing to Labor since the 2010 election – if those who said they would vote for KAP or PUP were asked who they would preference, while the remainder of preferences were distributed in line with the last election.
The third model produced a 55-45 two-party result, which is no change since the last election, if the KAP and PUP preferences were split 50-50 and the other preferences were allocated how they fell at the 2010 election.
Queensland will not save Labor, but NSW threatens to exacerbate its loss. When Mr Rudd came back, it was initially thought about two or three western Sydney seats could fall. Now, up to eight are in peril, including McMahon, held by Treasurer

Jindo Dog of Jindo Island
Jindo dog in Jindo island
Yellow dog
White dog
Natural Monument  53
Name of Cultural
Jindo Dog of Jindo Island
Designated Date
Jindo Island, Jindo-eup, Jindo-gun, Jeollanam-do Jindo-gun Jeollanam-do
The Jindo dog is a native Korean breed of dog bred in Jindo-gun, Jeollanam-do.
Males of the species are about 50-55cm long, females about 45-50cm.
From the front, its head and face is octagonal.
It has ears that point a little forward and rise stiffly; triangular eyes; and a dark-yellow or grey coat.
Their noses are mostly dark, although they may occasionally be a pale red.
Jindo dogs have a bold yet meek nature, a keen nose coupled with good hearing, and a strong sense of homing, making them suitable for hunting.
They are also reputed to be faithful and smart, and hence are suitable as pets or house dogs.
It is presumed that the Jindo dogs were introduced to Korea when a trade ship from China (Southern Song) was wrecked in the waters off Jindo Island during the Three Kingdoms Period.
There is also a saying that during the resistance of the Sambyeolcho (1270-1273, Three Elite Patrols) against Mongol soldiers, Jindo dogs were used by the military.
In addition, it is said that the breed was introduced to protect the army's horse ranches during the Joseon Period.
However, the full history surrounding Jindo dogs remains uncertain.
As Jindo is isolated from the mainland, Jindo dogs seem to have kept relatively pure blood.
The Jindo dogs of Jindo are protected by both the law for the protection and raising of Jindo dogs, and the law for the preservation of cultural properties.
To protect the breed, it has been designated as Natural Monument (No.

Question by csss s: Where in Costa Rica should I rent a place for 4 months, and how much?
I want to rent fairly comfortable place in Costa Rica for 4 months. Want to be able to use internet regularly, hang out with people, and of course meet lovely Tica ladies.
Will 4k in cash last me 4 months there?
Best answer:
Answer by zeuz
Travel visas are 90 days, not 4 months, but can be extended for a nominal fee.
The Immigration Officer will not allow you to stay for 4 months if all you bring with you is $ 4,000. Minimum of $ 2,500 / month is required of "Rentistas". Pensionados require $ 1,500 / month. (The weblink below is out of date, but even under the previous rules, you'd still need $ 2,000 / month.)
Give your answer to this question below!
Question by Linda B: Shipping car to Costa Rica for use under 6 months?
I am planning an extended vacation in Costa Rica and plan on shipping my car from Miami. Near as I can tell it would be a whole lot cheaper than paying up to $ 1,000 per WEEK to rent a mini SUV there. I read that a tourist can ship their car into CR to use up to 6 months Duty Free. Anyone know if this is true?
Best answer:
Answer by dougger
It is supposed to be true for 3 months. When you get you visa extended you have to gt the car's permit extended as well. IT is supposed to be recorded in your passport that the car came into the country and is going out by a certain date.
You are setting yourself up for many miserable days dealing with migration and the local tax authority- don't do it.
You are probably better off buying a good used car for six months with all the legal fees and insurance and then selling it for a reasonable loss when you are ready to leave. Right now sales are down, prices are decent. In 6 months, who knows? but I will guess doing this will beat the cost of renting (which is a disaster in itself- rentals have special license plates which are picked on by the local transit police seeking shakedowns) or the cost and hassle of shipping your car twice.
YOur can also rent a car and driver for a lot less than U$ 1000 a week
in most of C.R. If you do not need a car everyday you can save a lot of money by renting as you go. A lot of people that do this are extralegal. THere is no provision for doing it in the law but it is not prohibited either. (Actually some of the people that do it are properly inscribed as providing the service and collect and pay a tax to do it.)
What do you think? Answer below!
I was as nervous as my loved ones were about my solitary exploits as a woman in Central America last summer. Nonetheless, I discovered helpful community everywhere from buses to budget hotels, and even with friends of friends.
After two months of road trips from corner to corner of Costa Rica and around southern Nicaragua, my energy was waning. Just then, on a bus ride, I crossed paths with one of the most inspiring people I'd met in months. After finding 1,000 children living in a garbage dump in Managua, Andres was spearheading orphanages around the world—a shining example of someone living his passion.
Andres was one of many people that smoothed out the challenging moments that came with venturing outside my comfort zones. Being open to creating a new community, even a temporary one, seems essential when traveling—especially alone. It touches your heart in so many ways.
The trip began in tiny Playa Uvita, Costa Rica. I walked along a rainforest road, accompanied by roosters and bugs. I was thrilled to end up solo on a wide beach, wading in wonderfully warm water. Suddenly a meddlesome man I'd met earlier rode his horse right up to me, with dog in tow, like a scene from a movie. When Prince Charming's horse released his bowels in the ocean, my perfect beach moment took a hit as well. I chalked it up to a lesson in tolerance.
Nosara was next, a stormy beach where friends of friends hosted me in their tropical guest house. I continued to discover community in the most unexpected places. What was that pounding on the roof? An iguana! Screeching at 5 a.m.? A jungle bird. Loud scary dog-like sound? Howler monkey. Strange creature on the floor along with the ants and worms? A scorpion!
In Nosara, I met a jovial New Yorker who offered me a ride to Nicaragua. We made our way through rain, road construction, passport stamping on both sides of the border, and changing money from colones to cordobas. Then came the task of finding the least decrepit and safest budget hotel once arriving in charming San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua.
I felt comforted by my growing travelers' community when I took a spontaneous jaunt with another Californian to Isla de Ometepe, a peaceful island with petroglyphs, cows and pigs walking freely in the roads, and adorable children smiling from their patios. On the way to the island, I asked the taxi driver to slow down since I didn't want to die—especially on my birthday. Next, we took a sweltering ferry ride to Ometepe, where the taxi driver was amusingly island-paced, stopping in the middle of the road to chat with friends on foot. He suggested we eat bull testicles with chili and lemon to feel strong. Settled into a hotel, we swam in a lake along with pop-up sardines and a view of two volcanoes. As I later stood by a tree, a cow chomped on avocadoes and a squirrel dropped a mango on my shoulder.
My fellow adventurer woke me at 4 a.m. to ask me to turn on the light; he was spooked by the sound of an animal on his upper bunk bed. As happens sometimes in Latin America, the electricity was out, so he wondered if the noise was a monkey munching on some food. I found this unsolved mystery hilarious.
Worn out from so many two-day trips, the bronchitis that I'd had in San Diego was back, so I stayed several days in beautiful colonial Granada, Nicaragua. The doctor who helped me recover couldn´t fathom how at 38, I had no kids and was traveling alone. Eleven years ago, my ex-husband had guided me through four months in South America and it was one of the most meaningful experiences I'd ever had. Now I am so grateful that I followed my dreams, as I found out it wasn't too late to take the solo trip I'd fantasized about at age 20.
For safety, I hired a guide to accompany me to a lake and an historic outdoor market outside Granada. The usual child vendors, working to help their needy families, climbed aboard the bus. A few girls selling plaintain chips and candies asked, "Is everyone in the U.S. white?" I explained that I had friends who were African-American, Asian, Mexican, and so on. As we chatted, one girl sadly asked if I could adopt her as her parents had died, and she disliked living with her grandmother.
San Jose, Costa Rica may be run-down, but I kept returning to the city as it's a hub for buses throughout the country. Through family friends, I met Raquel and Federico, whose home was respite from the noise and cigarette smoke typical of budget hotels. We shared lovely meals and became fast friends, touring a volcano and lush hilly smalltowns.
Next came the malfunctioning foot portion of the trip. The scene: a hostel with the typical array of 20-something North Americans, Italians, and Israelis vying for the Internet. Ironically trying to avoid a construction zone, I rammed into something in that disheveled area too difficult to see in the dark. Thinking it was a bad toe stubbing, I socialized for a few hours until I discovered my foot was bleeding and cut.
I relocated to Casa Ridgway, the San Jose hostel where I most felt a sense of community among interesting activist travelers. A delightful Australian living in Hong Kong burned incense in our room, and then flew off to Cuba. A 16-year-old drilled me about the goods and bads of solo travel, plotting her future. I befriended a humanitarian videographer, and a group of young breakdancers from Nicaragua and Guatemala. Unable to walk, I'd call on whoever was passing by to bring water, beans or avocados from the market.
Then Raquel's amiga rescued me. Marielos picked me up, cleaned up the pitiful foot, and with help from a doctor friend, started me on antibiotics. Within a few hours, we were like sisters, watching a dubbed Ben Stiller movie on her bed. I lived with her family for a week until I was back on my feet again.
It was time to return to California. I decided I wasn't going to become yet another U.S. expat in Costa Rica. I'd heard of too many tourist robberies, found the mosquitoes and humidity irritating, and as a vegan, was longing for more variety than gallo pinto (smashed rice and beans). While I'd enjoyed the lush beaches, tropical creatures and made dear friends, those nights when I was scared for my safety sleeping alone made me long for the comfort of San Diego and friends there.
It was indeed a life-changing trip. Not only did I find community in all corners of the world but also cultivated a profound inner strength for having conquered deeply-rooted fears about traveling alone.

Bali nine teenager fails to appear
Page Tools
Accused Bali Nine member Scott Rush has failed to appear at his trial in Bali because he is sick.
Rush, 19, from Brisbane, was due to reappear in Denpasar District Court today for the second day of his trial on heroin smuggling charges that could earn him the death penalty.
While co-accused and alleged godfather Andrew Chan was brought to court today, Rush was absent because he had diarrhoea, his lawyer Robert Kuana said.
"He's been told to rest, three days," Kuana told reporters.
Rush is alleged to have been one of the drug mules forced to join the failed heroin trafficking operation in April.
Kuana had today been expected to object to the charges and ask judges to throw them out, saying his client should be facing 10 years for possession rather than trafficking which could lead to a possible firing squad.
The court has been told Chan secretly organised the group's travel from Australia and once in Bali, gave orders to the others.
Chan's lawyer Mohammad Rifan was today expected to follow the lead of defence teams in other trials and accuse prosecutors of making serious errors in their indictment.

In London, a real-estate scam puts millions of pounds up for grabs, attracting some of the city's scrappiest tough guys and its more established underworld types, all of whom are looking to get rich quick. While the city's seasoned criminals vie for the cash, an unexpected player, a drugged out rock 'n' roller presumed to be dead but very much alive.
Director: Guy Ritchie
Stars: Gerard Butler, Tom Wilkinson, Idris Elba
Lenny Cole, a London mob boss, puts the bite on all local real estate transactions. For substantial fees, he's helping Uri Omovich, a Russian developer. As a sign of good faith, Omovich loans Cole a valuable painting, promptly stolen off Cole's wall. While Cole's men, led by the dependable Archie, look for the canvas, three local petty criminals, the Wild Bunch, steal money from the Russian using inside information from his accountant, the lovely Stella. Meanwhile, a local drug-addled rocker, Johnny Quid, is reported drowned, and his connection to Cole is the key to unraveling the deceits and double crosses of life in the underworld.

holy shit! i just checked out cortosis' stats ... and he killed outfitmembers 88 (!) times in total. lol. what the hell, man? (dewi is #1 with 19 deaths to cortosis)
I think it's that insane Magrider of his! Fully certed magburner = crazy escape manoeuvres. I've Saron'd for him a few times, hes usually moving too fast to dodge infantry! I've fallen foul to him 4 times myself :)
by the way, my most effective weapon according to the stat page are AI mines. arr.
I do use them all the time, mostly for annoying people that I know are going to catch up and kill me.
Tonight some guy named Robert Stoneman, who apparently does machinima professionally, will be filming at Miller from 7 pm CET and on. Just saw a post in the official forums and a tweet at the official @Planetside2.
Purple Giraffe to SirWigglyBottom for PLing saturday evening. He did a stellar job (despita it being his first time as PL?) and we managed to cap Amerish.
Also, mad props to everyone in the platoon and all other outfits helping. We had some rough fights with some desperate defences, but we got there in the end. That last rush to Hidden Ridge Mining (on foot none the less) with I don't know how many VS was probably one of the best moments in PS2 for me as of yet. I can't say how proud I am of you all.
Yeah. SirWigglyBottom for Balloon Lead! Consider yourself nominated, sir. I bumped you up to Giraffe Beacon tonight. Also SirHoc, if he isn't already. Did an admirable job later on in the night.
Very good night overall, though, frustratingly, the TR pushed back in force at around eleven, when most of the VS had gone to Esamir. When I logged off just now, they were nearly back down at our warpgate, despite our valiant efforts at keeping them off. :/
Good effort today guys. The communication liaising is a bit full-on, but it definitely helps, especially when you're able to drag forces from Indar's pointless struggles. There was some excellent team-work though and RPS thoroughly helped spear-head the attack against the TR. Even if we've since lost Amerish, we at least bloodied their noses, which is a good reminder to the enemy that despite what it may seem on Miller lately, the Vanu aren't pushovers.
Bonus screenshot I took.
Thanks guys! I am SirWigglyBottom in case you were wondering :).
All of you did a excellent job!
Also, its not quite fair to say it was my first time. First time in Planetside 2, thats true. But I have been playing at a tournament(bfewaw.com) since 2009 so I do have experience leading in FPS games. Although I have only once commanded a division(32 people ingame, 6 squads 4/5 infantry, 1 tanks).
I took it upon me to unlock the squadleader beacon and the command channel chat in planetside 2 this morning, I can see it becoming usefull in the future!
And as a final note, every single person did a excellent job last night, also the zerg and many other outfits. I remember us all being stuck at the dnatha biolab on the east, so the RPS outfit abandoned that place for a more fertile conquest. At the same time, whomever was fighting there managed to keep the Terran forces locked down. Allowing us to roll through the continent until we met up with those forces being the TR warpgate!
Glory for the Vanu!
I wonder if Cortosis's kills (and other FF kills) come from when the vehicle they own blows up, taking people out, especially as Cortosis is often in a Lib.
I hasten to add my post was never intended as any kind of criticism, I was merely stating something I'd found amusing.
I would be surprised if anyone playing with an outfit for long, DIDN'T have an outfit member as his "top killed by".
SirWigglyBottom promoted.
Question to the outfit:
I've been thinking about an regular-ish, informal "outfit meetings" over Mumble. Once a month / every two weeks we gather in Mumble and just have a chat about the outfit / Miller goings on. Absolutely anyone welcome. Is this something that is worthwhile? I'd put together a series of discussion points and then post some minutes to this forum thread.
If so: Next Saturday, 7pm GMT? What should be on the agenda?
Cooper: Im not sure how your all stratgir all pl thing is intended to work, but i assume its to cut down on the hundreds of whisper set-ups. It would also be worth having the ability for sls to talk to each other individually too. I have set up whispers on 1-4 in mumble myself, but there werent enough people last night to test it out.
How we set-up and use comms does need to be discussed.
We need a base system of organisation that works and evertyone can use so it's not custom for each and every PL. Something that works as a baseline and can be added to as each individual person wants.
What we currently have (all PLs and SLs in one big shout system) seems to be too much leadership chatter. People need to let me know what they want and I'll set it up.
Good Morning everybody,
it is Monday today, so we all need some giraffes. Just for waking up and getting up from the bed...
Why not a kittygiraffe:
Attachment 2630
It is cute and looks sexy, at the same time.
Have a great day/week! :)
The fight for Amerish over Saturday/Sunday was pretty darn epic. Saturday evening/night we got stomped by TR and their 60% continent pop, but then on Sunday around noon'ish we rolled over them and took it back. Flying over hidden ridge with IR scopes was epic, so much infantry running everywhere. Amerish really has a couple of bases that brings out pretty darn epic fights, too bad there aren't enough fields for big tank battles.
Props to anyone who took the lead (Wiggly, Oak, etc) was too tired after sitting in a bus for 16-20 hours on Friday to help out with that. Hopefully we can arrange something similar and smash Esamir the same way. More outfit collaborations will definitely help when smashing face in the future.
Re: Thursdays. I honestly don't like them. There's a lot of fiddling about with binds, it makes the social aspect of the game melt away a bit, and it's stressful. I enjoy leading a squad/platoon, but the way we do it is far too complicated. If you're a squad or platoon lead, you're essentially forfeiting being able to play attention to your battlefield because you're coordinating. We need to make things simpler, quicker and less fiddly. We've also got an in game voice system that works perfectly fine. This could be utilised to avoid less fiddling. not to mention including more member. We've got an outfit of hundreds, and Mumble servers but a fraction of that. I do enjoy sitting in mumble when i'm playing, and the banter is pretty good. But we've got to consider the other outfit members, as well. Using the in game voice system for command would be an ideal way to help this. If we have mumble as the place for banter, we can keep the in game voice available for using commands. Hell, text chat works too. Maybe that's not the right solution, but it's certainly an option. Maybe i just prefer the more casual days, when there's no need for keybinding or fluffing about. The in game tools are pretty basic, but they're useful enough to give a general idea. Hopefully they'll be expanded on, at a later date.

While hosting the inaugural NFL Honors award show, actor Alec Baldwin did what any good NFL-believer would to cap his opening monologue.
He "Tebowed" to much applause.
The cheers multiplied when Tim Tebow decided to join Baldwin onstage to show the star of 30 Rock exactly how it's done.
Baldwin also lampooned the NFL, Madonna and the Kardashians, mostly to big laughs from the audience featuring names like Joe Namath, Rex Ryan and Cam Newton.
Tebow wasn't the only QB on Baldwin's list. After the award for the AP Defensive Rookie of the year, Baldwin sat next to former NFL star Archie Manning and asked him: "Peyton or Eli?"
Manning shot back with his own zing:
"Let me ask the question: Alec or Billy?" Manning said.
Conveniently, the younger Baldwin brother was sitting right in front of Alec.
Baldwin wasn't the only entertainer during the evening.
MORE: Aaron Rodgers takes a dig at the 49ers
Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers accepted the NFL's 2011 MVP award with humor and a playful jab at an NFC rival.
Baldwin also managed a line for the two Super Bowl teams. Baldwin told the audience New England coach Bill Belichick was tucking in his Patriots and telling them that Giants coach Tom Coughlin was not hiding in their closet.
Check out Baldwin and Tebow "Tebowing":
Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State.

What's improving next?
We are creating two world-class terminals
Gatwick is growing fast and to support this growth, a programme of major investment is transforming the airport and improving the experience for our passengers. With over £1.3 billion already invested, the transformation of the airport is well underway, and our South Terminal is now considered one of the best in Europe. A further £1.2 billion is committed over the next five years, so that our North Terminal can be transformed too.
Read our Capital Investment Plan for 2016 to see what we're planning
Gatwick needs to continue to grow and attract new airlines, and provide access to more parts of the world. We already offer more destinations than any other UK airport and by encouraging growth and more competition, we hope to keep fares low.
The footprint of our North Terminal has been extended and now we are working on the interiors. We know building work can be disruptive but we are trying to keep this to a minimum, with careful planning and teams of people behind the scenes working on every aspect of the detail.
So what's happening?
A new world-beating check-in area
We've invested £36m to create a brand-new North Terminal check-in area including the world's largest self-service bag drop zone, with up to 60 bag drop units, designed to speed passengers through the terminals. Faster check-in times have improved the departures experience. The new check-in area provides a better layout and more space to increase peak check-in capacity from 3,000 to 4,350 passengers per hour.
Watch our behind the scenes footage of the North Terminal check-in transformation:
Next generation security facilities
£30m has been invested to create a world-leading new security area in the North Terminal, matching that already in operation in the South Terminal. These 10 new security lanes are now open in the North Terminal giving Gatwick the ability to process 5,000 passengers per hour.
A bigger departures area and revamped retail space
£21m has been invested to create a world-class new departure lounge in the North Terminal offering more retail and restaurant space and enhanced choice. 30,000 square feet of new retail space - the equivalent to 10 tennis courts - is being created in total throughout North Terminal. This includes a new World Duty Free opening this year to match the South Terminal which was the world's largest World Duty Free store when it opened in 2012.
A transformed arrivals area
£10m is being invested to fully refurbish the North Terminal arrivals area. The relocation of existing shops and facilities will create a more spacious concourse, improving the travel experience through Gatwick and offering passengers a better choice of retail, and easier access to the transit which takes them to the train station.
Further major investment to drive passenger improvements
£10m is being invested to upgrade the North Terminal border zone. More space, new technologies and 15 state-of-the-art new e-gates will help lead to shorter queues for passengers.
A further £250m is being invested to maintain and replace facilities including lifts, escalators and technology infrastructure. While £265m is being invested in Piers, new aircraft stands, gate rooms, new lounge facilities, and bag storage facilities.
It's an exciting time for Gatwick as we continue our journey towards being London's airport of choice.

One last kernel of the Colorado "Popcorn lung" case
Beware all ye who enter here...
It could be the asbestos of our generation: "Popcorn Lung" now has a website dedicated to victims of this dreaded "disease" (in truth, it's a law firm's site encouraging potential litigation) -- and the phenomenon began in our own back yard.
Although the medical condition known as bronchiolitis obliterans was first identified among factory workers who made the popcorn, Centennial's Wayne Watson was the first consumer to complain. He filed suit against a microwave popcorn manufacturer two years ago, , claiming that he'd suffered some pretty gnarly health problems after huffing the fumes of the two bags of butter-flavor-laden popcorn he consumed a day.
The culprit? A nasty little chemical called diacetyl.
Back in 2006, the FDA had deemed the chemical safe as a flavoring in small amounts -- 5mg a day (the FDA did not translate that into bags of popcorn. But even so, popcorn manufacturers are now voluntarily removing the chemical from the process. And according to documents filed this week, Wayne has settled his case with the company responsible for distributing the store-brand version of the sinister late-night snack.

Arthritis & Rheumatism, Volume 62,
November 2010 Abstract Supplement
Abstracts of the American College of
Rheumatology/Association of Rheumatology Health Professionals
Annual Scientific Meeting
Atlanta, Georgia November 6-11, 2010.
Non-Infectious Pulmonary Complications of Biologic Agents for Rheumatic DiseasesA Systematic Literature Review.
Hadjinicolaou2, Andreas, Bhagat1, Shweta, Ostor1, Andrew
Rheumatology Research Unit, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom
University of Cambridge, United Kingdom
Systemic inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) as well as their treatment with disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDS) and anti-TNFa agents may be complicated by a variety of pulmonary disorders. Due to the influx of new biologic agents, we undertook this systematic literature review (SLR) to identify if any of these were associated with non-infectious lung disease.
A SLR was conducted in PubMed, the Cochrane Library and EMBASE for reviews, meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials(RCT), clinical trials, case series and reports published up to and including May 2010 using the terms "rituximab""anakinra""certolizumab""golimumab""tocilizumab""abatacept" and "efalizumab" in the advanced search option. Search results were assessed by two independent reviewers. Meeting abstracts from the European League Against Rheumatism and the British Society of Rheumatology annual meetings were included. We manually reviewed references of all the selected publications to complement our search with published data not identified in the initial search or with unpublished data from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products (EMEA) and manufacturers. Identified articles were included if they reported a possible relationship of biologic agents with lung toxicity, excluded other potential causes or failed to exclude drug-induced causality. A total of 9 RCTs, 15 clinical studies, 10 case series, 35 case reports were identified.
This SLR revealed possible relationships between some biologic agents and interstitial lung disease (ILD) and other drug-related pulmonary toxicities. No cases of pulmonary toxicity were found with golimumab, certolizumab and efalizumab.
Rituximab(RTX) appeared to have a higher reported rate of ILD as we identified 65 papers reporting at least one case of pulmonary toxicity (148 cases in total). However, RTX was given for a rheumatic disease only in 7 of these studies. In 3 studies in RA and lupus, out of a total of 403 patients involved, there were 3 cases of lung toxicity (1 of ILD and 2 of interstitial pneumonitis, 1 of which was fatal). 4 case reports of RTX (3 given for RA and 1 for lupus) reported 2 cases of Bronchiolitis Obliterans Organising Pneumonia and 2 of ILD with1 death.
3 RCTs of Tocilizumab enrolling a total of 589 patients reported 6 pulmonary adverse events (2 - ILD, 1 - allergic pneumonitis, 3 - interstitial pneumonia). There was 1 case report of fatal exacerbation of RA induced ILD with tocilizumab.
2 RCTs with a total of 1596 patients on Anakinra for RA refractory to DMARDS reported 3 cases of ILD with 2 fatalities.
In all the non-fatal cases, lung pathology was reversible with drug discontinuation and administration of high dose steroid treatment.
Although the number of reports of pulmonary complications with the newer biologic agents is small, the associated morbidity and mortality is substantial. Drug discontinuation is essential and treatment should be instituted expediously in order to optimise outcomes. Clinicians should remain vigilant for non-infectious pulmonary disease in any patient treated with biologic agents.

The group said it hoped the offer of talks would address concerns about its bid for the ninth biggest US oil firm.
CNOOC tabled its bid for Unocal on Thursday - triggering a bidding war with prospective buyer Chevron.
Unocal has said it will consider the Chinese bid, but added it remained committed to Chevron's lower $18bn bid.
The group also said it had received permission from Chevron to talk to CNOOC about its proposed bid.
Delay worries
The Chinese group is hoping its all cash proposal will win out over Chevron's cash and share offer.
However, it is facing a number of hurdles that could mean lengthy delays, and kill off the deal.
Four members of Congress have urged the US government to review the security implications of allowing a Chinese state-controlled firm to take control of the firm - a process that would be examined by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the US (CFIUS).
But CNOOC has moved to allay those fears by saying it is willing to discuss selling some Unocal assets and allow US management to run others.
Deal 'concessions'
"We are fully prepared to participate in a CFIUS (Committee on Foreign Investment in the US) review of the transaction and we have proactively made assurances to Unocal to address concerns relating to energy security and ownership of Unocal assets located in the United States," CNOOC chief executive Fu Chengyu said in a statement.
"Substantially all of the oil and gas produced by Unocal in the US will continue to be sold in the US," Mr Fu added.
However, while noting that 70% of the group's oil and gas assets were in Asia he declined to say what plans CNOOC had for them.
Meanwhile, in an effort to take advantage of any delays in the Chinese bid, Chevron has moved its timetable for the takeover forward to August.
"Given the regulatory hurdles and longer approval time, the 9% premium may not be enough incentive for Unocal to terminate the Chevron agreement," Bruce Edwards, analyst at AG Edwards, said in a research note - adding he was confident Chevron would win out in the takeover tussle.

Headed into the fourth quarter, the scoreboard read 14-3. Highland was down.
But for the Rams, it never quite felt that way.
A field goal chipped away at Olympus' lead. Then a touchdown pass. Finally a touchdown run with only 19 seconds left gave Highland a win it somehow always felt was within its reach.
"I don't think we ever thought we were out of that ballgame, and we knew what we needed to do," Highland coach Brody Benson said. "I think it's just a postseason thing with us, that we're going to fight 'til the end."
That confidence and perseverance is a rare and highly sought attribute in the postseason. Every year, a handful of underdogs and lower seeds seem to fight their way deeper into the high school state football tournament than anyone thinks they'll go.
If there was a distinct formula for upset victories, brackets would be getting busted all the time. But what it takes seems to be something less tangible: a mixture of swagger, preparation and a little bit of luck.
Syracuse coach Russ Jones led his team into a matchup with Alta for a first-round contest and ended up shocking the No. 1-seeded Hawks last year. Looking back, he saw a team that didn't feel the pressure building up into the game.
"They were more at peace than gung-ho, I guess," Jones said. "We took this attitude that was, 'Let's lay it on the line and do the best we can. Let's see if we can knock these guys around a bit.' "
Lower-seeded teams usually have had at least one or two heartbreakers under their belts. They've been kicked around here and there, which helps them balance out some of the anxiety that comes with big games.
Benson pointed to defeats vs. Lone Peak and Bountiful that helped shape his team's attitude toward adversity.
"In some of those games, you could tell some of our kids were hanging their heads a little bit," Benson said. "We told them it doesn't matter if they score here, we're going to fight. And that's something you try to instill in them every day."
But upsets are not crafted all out of heart: It's at least equal parts preparation. Fremont was pulverized early this season as it struggled with injuries, but even the players who were healthy weren't always playing their best, coach Kory Bosgieter said.
Earlier this month, Bosgieter sensed more focus and more effort from his team in practice. The players were starting to buy in and shake off some of the pressure that comes with making the last two state finals.
With a 14-6 win over Hunter, the Silver Wolves are the only four-win team left in the playoffs. And they hope they aren't done yet.
"When our guys concentrate collectively, practice like they need to practice, we're a pretty good football team," Bosgieter said. "You've got to outprepare people. Then you can start beating good teams."

Artist to Watch in 2012: Machine Gun Kelly
Machine Gun Kelly cause a ruckus in 2011 — literally. After signing with Diddy's Bad Boy Records, the rapper decided to instigate a flash mob at a local mall in his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio, using Twitter. The stunt landed him in jail but it also showed just how rabid his fans are when it comes to their local rap hero.
MGK comes from a long list of white rappers who made their mark in 2011. Yelawolf, Action Bronson and Mac Miller are just a few of the names looking to achieve the same success as their white counterpart Eminem.
Last year, MGK was crown 'Hottest Breakthrough MC' by MTV. It's an honor the tattoo-covered rapper gladly accepts. "I know that we have probably the least amount of fans," he says. "But like I told my fans: Heart is always gonna prevail over connections and who these people know and who tweets what." — Trent Fitzgerald
