Once She Was Tempted
Forever / October 29, 2013 / $8.00 print, $7.59 digital
. . . or is it? The risqué painting owned by Benjamin Elliot, the earl of Foxburn, features a stunning beauty with sapphire eyes, golden hair, and creamy skin. Ben recognizes this particular English rose the instant he meets her-though she's wearing considerably more clothing. In person, the demure debutante is even more irresistible . . .
In desperate need of money for her sick mother, Daphne Honeycote had posed for two scandalous portraits. Now she must hide her secret to save the Honeycote family name. Ben's possession of one painting makes him an insufferable thorn in her side-and yet he may be her best chance at finding the canvas's companion. As she becomes drawn to the dark-tempered earl, can Daphne risk laying bare the secrets of her heart?
Anne Barton's Once She Was Tempted begins:
Upon meeting Miss Daphne Honeycote for the first time, Benjamin Elliot, Earl of Foxburn, had two distinct thoughts.
The first was that she appeared to be a suitable match for his upstanding young protégé, Hugh. . . . The earl's second thought regarding Miss Honeycote was that he should probably take down the nude portrait of her that was hanging in his study.
Now that's an opening that will grab you. Ben has been obsessed with the woman in the portrait ever since it came into his possession. He keeps it in his private study and rewards himself for doing estate work by glancing at it every 15 minutes or so. An interesting work incentive. So to come face to face with the embodiment of his fantasies takes him aback.
To be fair—and to his everlasting regret—Miss Honeycote wasn't entirely nude in the painting. She reclined on a chaise of sapphire blue, her gown unlaced all the way to the small of her back, exposing slim shoulders and the long indent of her spine. The look she cast over her shoulder was serene and wise.
And utterly captivating.
Ben kept a wary eye on the stunning blonde throughout the evening. If he didn't know better, he'd swear she'd stepped out of the portrait in his study and raided the armoire of a prudish vicar's wife before coming to dinner. The contradiction between the oil-painted and in-the-flesh versions of Miss Honeycote kept his mind pleasantly—if wickedly—occupied during the meal.
Of course, any woman who'd model for such a scandalous portrait is unsuitable for his young friend, and Ben confronts her about the painting, warning her off.
"What makes you so sure that the woman in the portrait is me?"
It didn't occur to him to lie. Not about this. "You reflect light."
"Pardon me?"
"In the painting, as in real life, you are . . . luminous." It was true. He'd never known a person who shined like her. It wasn't just her pale blond tresses or her radiant skin or gleaming eyes. She shone from the inside, and it made him uncomfortably and acutely aware of the cold, damp, dark foxhole that was his life.
This idea of darkness and light runs through the novel. Ben's dark, cynical soul, embittered by the loss of friends at Waterloo and the constant pain he endures due a war injury, craves Daphne's light; not just the light of her beauty, but of her own soul.
This was the moment Ben had been waiting for, the reason he had arranged the entire evening. He needed to understand why Miss Honeycote had risked her reputation - the only thing she'd really had. But mostly he needed to understand her. To be close to her light for a while.
It turns out that there is a second, companion portrait at large, and Ben offers to help Daphne procure it to salvage her family's honor and her own reputation, though he is dismayed by her plans for it.
Destroy it? He hadn't considered the idea that she might want to get rid of the portrait altogether. It would be sacrilege. He understood her logic, of course. For as long as the painting existed, her reputation was in a state of danger. He just knew that he'd never be able to bring himself to torch or shred it. The very idea made his stomach clench.
There is much more to the story and, frankly, not all of it works for me. But this idea of Ben's connection to the portrait, his longing for Daphne and her light to help rescue him from his darkness, made for a very interesting and affecting reading experience for me.

BY MINDY CHAPMAN, Esq.
Employees today are anxious about losing their jobs. On the extreme, they may be experiencing full-blown clinical depressions.
If you know an employee is suffering from depression, don't be so quick to accept his or her hasty resignation, a new court ruling shows. Instead, you may need to identify this person as "disabled" under the ADA and, therefore, engage in an interactive process to find a work accommodation.
Case In Point: Marcy Ann Smith, an Iowa state employee, went out on FMLA leave after being diagnosed with depression. Just before she planned to return to work, Smith showed up and resigned.
A few days later, she asked to withdraw her resignation. Her employer refused. It said she could apply for other state jobs. She did, but all her applications were denied.
Smith sued under the ADA, saying supervisors refused to rehire her because they knew she suffered from depression. She...(register to read more)

text: The qualities that made the Aeon Flux segments on MTV's Liquid Television stand out from other action cartoons were their brevity and intentional pointlessness. Plot was dispensed with, and nothing was explained: First came the usual intro of a fly being captured and crushed by Aeon's eyelashes, followed by a five-minute blitz of eye-bending, anime-influenced action sequences and the spindly gymnastics of the pointy-breasted, bondage-gear-wearing secret-agent heroine, all minus dialogue. Ideal for MTV, right? But if Aeon's ambiguous essence could be successfully conveyed in a few staccato blasts, how would the 60-minute length of Aeon Flux: Mission Infinite serve it? Well, it doesn't, and the shortcomings soon bulge through the seams of the stretched-out premise. Not only does Aeon Flux: Mission Infinite contain three separate storylines of varying tedium and/or perplexity, but Aeon also actually talks here, purring the requisite tough-but-sexy one-liners. Aeon Flux's animation was always choppy, but it complemented the pace and absurdly angular, skin-and-bones design of Aeon and her adversaries. Here, it sports somewhat more dexterity than a Captain Planet episode.

A whole new experience!!
Good things @ the Product semantics & Rapid prototypic...combined with semiotic engineering of user interfaces
As I may have told you; I am signed up at the Savonia Design Academy here in Kuopio to get more knowledge into my young mind. The main pre-organised course for me is Service Design and that is going well so far. Then I was offered the opportunity to choose ANY extra course I would like to take and guess what I chose!!
- Usability and semantics of user interface design (this is where the semiotic engineering of user interfaces comes from)..this I combined with
- Product semantics and rapid prototyping in user-oriented design methods
These 2 go hand-in-hand like a married couple (well, some married couples! hehehe..). The usability and semantics of user interface design is more theoretical and covers the stuff you need to know and reckon when starting a project for a user. The co-creations, the ways of gathering data in a user-oriented way, the goods of prototyping and so on. As you may have already noted, the language is Finnish for all undergrad classes but the lecturers are kind enough to google some material for me and put on my flash. I also take the powerpoint slides and translate them online later. This is a very interesting course from someone with a purely information technology mindset. it has shown me just how much a user's experience, even their emotions, are important to consider when designing a product for them. And it doesnt matter what product it is you are designing, it can be anything from this;
or this , this or even something as complicated as this concept;
The point is that a user has to be involved in all that you are trying to design for them, that way you get their points of view and end up coming with a better product and everybody is happy . Here is a video on one of the gurus of design thinking; Tim Brown;
Now the second part of this course is more practical. Today was my 1st class and we were in a computer lab. The language of delivery is Soumi of coz, but the software we used is in English (by the way, even Microsoft Windows used here is in Soumi! No English! but some of us wanna-be nerds know where to go and change the lingo!!)so I get to know which buttons to follow. Difficult, but doable. We used an open-source software called Kerkythea ( http://www.kerkythea.net). I am still new on the software but I aim to Ace it by the end of 2010 and even start using it in real-life projects. The brilliance of open-source software is that a free-sharing community always develops around it, people even upload their latest 3D inventions on the software site itself! Here is a few snapshots of what Kerkythea can do:
This is a good start for me in Finland, and I can feel very much that I will take something valuable back with me. My hope is that these courses will earn me a place in a user-driven design-oriented Information Technology department somewhere where I can add some input to what I have learnt. I aim to pursue the disciplines of user-oriented design methods further and enhance my IT background.
Till next time! Kiitos (Thanks!)....

I hear a lot of people having problems getting in touch with DR Duran but I had no problem. I wrote my email in English, translated it to Spanish with google translate app then sent it of. I got a response the next day (today). I'm booked for May 10th and I'll be staying at the Juana Recovery House. Anybody going around this time who might want to room with me? I'm leaving from Atlanta, Ga.
Just checking in ... Team Salama
Please excuse me. Where's my manners. Lol, more about me and buddy searching
My name is Kai, I am 21 and I have a son (who btw is gonna be 1 in December! Woot woooot!). I am a nursing major. I'm 5'3, 138 pounds, I'm trying to gain weight so if anyone has suggestions on how to gain good quality fat please do tell. I would love to have a traveling and room buddy for the trip. I originally said I would be staying at Juana RH but I'm open to other RH's. I've been eyeing Silouhette RH but whatever the search continues for that. But I definitely am looking for that rocking body shape. Before I had my son I had a great shape. My pregnancy didn't leave me bigger, it left me much smaller and less curvy, so I'm definitely getting it back thanks to the help of Dr. Duran. Anybody looking for a buddy to let me know. My date isn't set in stone so depending on my buddies date I can definitely make arrangements. I'm boing alone so a buddy means a lot to me (and my savings with this whole recovery house thing!). Lol. But that's all on me what about you guys!?
Issue with pics
I don't know why my pics are half showing. Anybody know how I can fix it? And I found a buddy!!!! Yay! Shoutout to lovely333! Maybe the pics are to big. Idk.
Ideas on gaining weight?
Hey ladies! As you can see from the pictures I posted I'm sorta petite. I'm not skinny but I lack fat. Does anybody have ideas on how I can put on 15lb? I know muscle mass was one but there's a billion brands, idk which to choose from. And my buddy told me about ensure too! Any other options? Please tell!!!!
Ummmm am I the only one worried about waking up in the middle of surgery!?!?!?
Hey ladies I was just wondering... Is it normal to wake up during surgery, and wake up enough to talk to them!!! What type of anesthesia they using in DR! That worries me. I'm reading a lot of reviews about ppl waking up letting the doctors know if it hurts or if they thirsty or whatever. That ain't normal, that's dangerous as hell. What y'all think?
Hey is there any duran dolls post op 8 months plus
Hey I was just wondering ladies is there a Duran doll 8 months to a year post op who fairly recently updated there profile. I want to see how there doing and how there results are keeping up. If anybody know any can you put there page name in the comments. Thanks so much!
Wish Cabral wasn't so dangerous to go with :(
Duran + Yily = Cabral!!!!!! Cabral work is on point, the best results I seem so far. He has little work out but the work I've seen is flawless. Did you know he owns Cipla office and he trained Yily and duran. It's unfortunate what happened with his career, he could have been a top bbl surgeon if it wasn't for those deaths. His work hits dead on the nail, he's like a mixture between Yily and Duran. I got a son to come back home to I don't have time worrying about dying. But dang I wish I could go with him as my suergon. Idk. *shrugs*
Faja question
Does Duran aloe you to cut the butt holes out of the faja as soon as you put it on after surgery? I don't never want my big beautiful cheeks compressed in the garment. Lol
So sad and upset!!!! But never discouraged.
Hey ladies! So I had a very unexpected fee come up involving my schooling for spring semester. I HAD TO DIP INTO MY SURGERY SAVINGS!!!! I'm so depressed about it. I had to move my surgery date back and I think I lost my travel buddy, so now I have to find a new one. I moved it back to June. I still had enough for my procedure but I touched my security money for DR. And I ain't going no where in no foreign country without my extra security money whic by the way is a hefty amount. Hell no! Not gonna happen. Lol. So keep me in your prayers, changed my date to June 24th. Sigh. Here's a pic of me. My weight gain is going slow, want to gain hefty quality weight. And some wish pics too! Happy Christmas Eve dolls! Muah!
Buddy searching...
I had to changed my date! And I'm in desperate need of a new buddy because of that. Scheduled for June 24th but will move it up as early as June17th to match date with potential buddy. I will be staying at armonia rh. I'll be flying out of Atlanta. Please inbox me!!!!
Gaining weight.
Just bought tons of ensure HIGH PROTEIN!!!! Now ima go get the right muscle mass shakes. I'm getting excited. Still looking for a buddy too! Somebody who is going June 24th or later, but no later than August. And congrads too all my recent bbl sisters, happy healing!!!!!
Hey RS sisters!!!!!
I decided I will officially be going with Cabral! I can't deny that he gives exactly what I'm looking for. I called his office and they had my same date available so I will still be going to DR June 24. But I'm still looking for a buddy. I can even push the date back as far as August if that's the date of a future buddy. I really don't want to go alone. So just let me know!
Ensure question
How many ensures should I take a day? I'm taking two a day while eating a meal to pack on serious weight. But I don't feel to good. Lol
Dr. C's
Dr. Cortez work is just as good as Cabrals. He's just more pricey. Do he have in house financing? Just wondering. But if anything at Cipla happens evolving Cabral (god forbid) between now and my surgery date I'm definitely switching to Cortez.
Final change
Ok ladies I had serious plans to go to DR to see king of barbies Cabral himself. But a friend of mines asked me to be apart of her buddy crew that came with the sweetest deal I have heard. A chance to be salmafied with my cousin, and two buddies is going to be so awesome! I already put down my deposit and making payments as the days go by. November 11th is my surgery date. And to be honest ladies I don't feel like hassling with language barriers, passports, and praying my recovery house is decent. That's too far to stress about. But to each it's own (or something like that). I'll just stay in the US... Way easier for me and my nerves. But I'm gaining serious weight! Yay!! I'll post a pic from my past bday this march 11 and me a couple of weeks ago. Still have a ways to go. Oh and a wish pick. Talk to you later ladies!
Hey RS!
So my Salama plans are still in motion. I also wanted to look at Dr Lagrasso for laser treatment on stretch marks/skin tightening and breast lift. As he any good with breast lifts? If so let me know ladies. But I have been gaining weight! Thighs looking like cottage cheese. :/ my body feels the weight gain so I have tummy aches a lot cause of all the constant eating. I'm not a big eater so this change got my stomach flipped upside down! Lol. Welp till next time ladies!
Hey does anybody know any affordable condos for four girls who's getting the bbl with Salama? We need something close but affordable, we have a hotel suite booked but I think the condo will give is more privacy and comfort.
6 months pre op
6 months pre op and I have already gained some good weight. I'm excited about it!!!! My Boyfriend gave me a wish pic that he thinks will fit my body type what y'all think about it? I was also thinking although we all strive for what may be an ideal body I don't want to have my expectations to high. I'm going to show salama my wish pics and let him know even though I want this I ultimately just want to look good. If you can't give me nothing else give me a even, clean lipo, and even fat transfer cause I AM NOT going back for a revision/ round 2 or none of that. I know what I want to look like but if it risk me having to come back to fix it... Forget it! LMAO
Just checking in
Just checking in with all the ladies! I am getting closer and more excited!!! I am still struggling with weight gain!!!! :( but I like drinking so I heard alcohol make you gain weight *drives to corner store and by hella wine* lol but other than that I'm about to start getting what I need. And only what's NEEDED! I'm go through pain regardless so there will be no unecesary purchases. You guys think salama can work with what fat I already have? Cause this weight gain is no damn joke!!!
See a slight difference in weight gain.
Hey everybody. I finally took pictures similar to the very first ones I posted of myself. I see a slight weight gain, or are my eyes playing tricks on me!? Lol I might get my arms lipo to get a tad more fat. I won't do my lipo my thighs because I like that there big already. I just need the booty to match. I also posting a pic of the type of weight gaining protein I plan on using. Till next time RS Sistahs!!!!!
Serious Mass weight gainer
Hey ladies!!!!! I have been drinking serious mass weight gainer. It's for muscle men mainly but when you don't never workout it just turn to fat. Ensures was not doing it for my little self I need something that was gonna pack on the pounds!!!! Lol. The date is getting closer, I'm weighing more of my pros and cons and just trying to not let the thought of this surgery take over my mind.

Train passengers have reacted with anger after signalling problems caused delays at Wandsworth Common station and Wimbledon this morning.
Passengers turned to social networking site Twitter to vent their frustration.
One user, Timmo, said: "I've been on the 'fast' train from Woking and after 45 mins haven't reached Clapham yet."
Another tweeter, David Martin, said: "The Clapham area is a first class joke when it comes to travelling at peak times. #squeeeeeeze."
Normal service on Southern Trains has now resumed after services between West Croydon and Victoria, Epsom and Victoria, New Cross Gate and Victoria and Sutton and Victoria were affected.
However a second major signalling failure at Wimbledon station is still causing delays and disruption to passengers travelling to or from Waterloo.
The signalling failure has been fixed by South West trains but knock on delays of up to 30 minutes are expected on services running to and from Waterloo until 12pm.
A spokesperson for the South West Trains said: "Services to and from Waterloo are currently being disrupted as a result of a signalling problem at Wimbledon earlier this morning.
"There was an issue with the signalling at Wimbledon signal box, which controls the signals between Vauxhall and Waterloo, between 07.00 and 07.30 this morning.
"The signalling has been fully restored, however due to the large volume of trains operating into and out of Waterloo around this time, this has caused knock-on delays to services this morning. The majority of trains are now running, but with up to 30 minutes delay.
"We apologise to our passengers for the inconvenience this will have caused to their journey this morning."
South West Trains tickets are being accepted on the tube, buses and Southern and First Great Western.

Jeff Daniels Enters Looper
Alongside Piper Perabo and Noah Segan
Brick/Brothers Bloom creator Rian Johnson's latest pic, sci-fi thriller Looper, is now shooting and has added a few more names to its cast. The latest to join up? Jeff Daniels, Piper Perabo and Noah Segan.
The twisty plot follows a group of near-future killers whose bosses send their targets back from even further in time for them to off. It's a nifty trick, since the victims vanish from the future, reappear where no one knows them and there's nothing to alert police to their identity and they can be made to disappear. But one of the assassins, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, suddenly hits a big problem….
Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt, Paul Dano and Xu Qing are already all acting their socks off, with that last name significant for the fact that a lot of the funding comes from a Chinese company and China plays a big part in the setting.
Daniels appears to be continuing his recent indie run, coming off of Howl and Paper Man. Perabo is squeezing the role into her break from US spy series Covert Affairs and Segan is a Johnson regular, having appeared in both Brick and The Brothers Bloom. Good luck charm, anyone? We doubt Johnson needs it, though – we can't wait to see what he's cooked up this time.
Looper should be with us next year.

The first time I stepped out of the Barcelona metro and saw the intricate carvings of Sagrada Familia towering above me my hair stood on end from sheer marvel. I must have taken at least a hundred photographs from every angle that day, yet almost every one failed to capture that first sense of awe the building was meant to inspire. For many travelers, I'm sure this is a familiar story.
In Europe, where nearly every urban center boasts an impressive and abundant mix of historic and contemporary architecture, this is perhaps even more true. Fortunately, most photographers are more skilled than I am and, on occasion, one will even manage to capture shots so impressive that they warrant a sense of awe in and of themselves.
A successful campaign on Kickstarter recently gave one such photographer, Luke Shepard, an opportunity to do just that, paving the way for an impressive time-lapse that shows off Europe's most breathtaking architecture as you've probably never seen it.
Shepard's recently released film, Nightvision, combines more than 20,000 photographs, carefully strung together during post-production, of some of Europe's most impressive buildings. To get all of the shots, Shepard purchased a 90-day Eurail Pass allowing him to visit 36 cities in 21 countries. The result is an impressive and seemingly effortless time-lapse covering 27 sequences (out of 47 produced). Of course, if you are already watching the film, it's probably apparent that the film's 'effortless feel' is the result of some time-consuming, painstaking, and anything but effortless work:
"Of the locations represented in the film, the Arc de Triomphe was the most difficult to capture. To achieve this shot we had to cross a few streets and finish halfway across the Champs-Elysees! We waited until 2 in the morning when there seemed to be the least traffic. We slowly crossed each street taking a picture every few inches. Whenever cars were coming, we used chalk to mark our location and ran out of the way. The shoot became more complicated when the military guards patrolling around the monument saw us shooting in the middle of the street. They yelled to let us know this was not allowed, but we were already a couple hours into the shoot and I did not want to give up. We continued, but now we had to wait until the guards were on the opposite side of the Arc de Triomphe AND no cars were coming. This shot took over 5 hours and we finished just as dawn broke."
Nightvision isn't Shepard's first foray into time-lapse photography. In 2010, while experimenting with the style of image sequencing used in Nightvision, Shepard produced a two-minute time-lapse entitled Le Flâneur, which, to his surprise, went viral in 2011 and received praise on sites including Gizmodo, The Huffington Post, and in National Geographic's Travel section. Given the impressive scope and scale of Shepard's shots, I'm a little less surprised.
A full list of Nightvision locations in order of appearance can be found on Shepard's website along with other information about the time-lapse.

RyanDevlin this is the world's jam. spectacular. and here i was tired of time lapse…
RyanDevlin I can tick off most of those historic buildings, but have no idea where or what the modern ones are.
@snailley RyanDevlin I was in the same boat when I saw this for the first time. Luke actually posted all the locations on his website at: http://www.lshep.com/index.html

What it
does in the body
Potassium has many functions. It is essential for protein synthesis and for the
conversion of blood sugar into glycogen. It activates a number of
enzymes, particularly those concerned with energy production. It
stimulates normal movements of the intestinal tract.
Absorption and metabolism
Absorption of potassium from the diet is passive and does not
require any specific mechanism. Absorption takes place in the small
intestine as long as the concentration in gut contents is higher than
that in the blood. If food moves rapidly through the bowel then
absorption will not be sufficient.
The kidneys are the main regulators of body
potassium, maintaining blood levels by controlling excretion, even as
intake varies. Some potassium is excreted in sweat. Digestive juices
contain significant amounts of potassium but most of this is re-absorbed
in the lower gut.
Symptoms of severe potassium deficiency include fatigue, vomiting,
abdominal distention, acute muscular weakness, paralysis, pins and
needles, loss of appetite, low blood pressure, intense thirst,
drowsiness, confusion and eventually coma. Muscle spasms, tetany, heart
arrhythmias and muscle weakness can also be caused by increased nerve
excitability associated with inadequate intake of potassium.
Causes of potassium deficiency include high sodium
diets, surgical operations involving the bowel, extensive burns and
injuries, diabetes, Cushing's syndrome, excessive excretion of
aldosterone, chronic diarrhea which limits gut re-absorption of
potassium, persistent vomiting, influenza, inflammatory bowel disease,
anemia, ulcerative colitis, kidney disease, heart disease, chronic
respiratory failure, prolonged fasting, therapeutic starvation, bizarre
diets, anorexia nervosa, alcoholism and cystic fibrosis.
Several medications can also cause potassium
deficiency. These include thiazide
diuretics, long-term therapy with
corticosteroids and adrenal hormones, laxatives, excessive intake of
licorice and carbenoxolone, high dose sodium penicillin, intravenous
infusions of glucose and salt solutions not containing potassium, ion
exchange resins used to reduce blood cholesterol, and insulin.
The sudden death that can occur in fasting, anorexia
nervosa or starvation is often a result of heart failure caused by
potassium deficiency.
High blood pressure
Many population studies have found links between low potassium
intakes and an increased risk of high blood pressure and death from
stroke. Increasing the amount of potassium-rich foods in the diet can
lead to a reduction in high blood pressure. The ratio of sodium to
potassium in the diet appears to play an important role in the
development of high blood pressure. The typical Western diet is low in
potassium relative to sodium.
Potassium depletion causes the body to retain more
fluid in response to a large dose of salt, and high levels of potassium
may enhance the excretion of sodium, thus decreasing blood volume and
blood pressure.
Good sources of potassium include fresh fruits, vegetables, soybean
flour, shellfish, beans, wheat bran, salad, nuts, cereals, meat, milk,
coffee and tea. Many food additives such as potassium iodate used in
bread baking, also contain potassium. Potassium is easily lost in
cooking and processing foods.
Recommended dietary allowances
No RDA has been set in the USA but the estimated minimum requirement
for a healthy person is 2000 mg. The typical adult intake may be between
800 mg and 1500 mg. The RNI in the UK is 3500 mg and the RDA in
Australia is 1950 to 5460 mg.
Potassium supplements are usually in the form of tablets or
solutions, often of potassium chloride. Amino acid chelate and protein
complexes are also available and these complexes also replace the
protein losses which accompany potassium excretion. Potassium is added
to sports drinks to help replace that lost in heavy sweating.
Potassium supplements can be irritating to the
stomach and should be taken after meals with a glass of water. Slow
release or film-coated tablets have been associated with ulcers of the
small intestine. The tablets should not be taken with alcohol as this
may worsen stomach irritation.
Toxic effects of excess intake
Intakes of potassium in doses larger than 18 000 mg cause muscular
weakness, low blood pressure, mental confusion and eventually heart
attack. Potassium injection can be fatal. Lower doses can cause nausea,
vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal cramps.
A healthy person cannot obtain toxic levels of potassium from the diet.
Causes of potassium excess include insufficient production of adrenal
gland hormones, acidosis, major infections, and shock after injury in
which potassium leaks out of damaged cells into the blood. In severe
kidney disease, potassium is not excreted, and excessive levels build up
in the tissue.
Therapeutic uses of supplements
Potassium is one of the most commonly prescribed minerals. It is
used in situations where body potassium is decreased, such as during
diuretic drugs therapy.
High blood pressure
Many studies have found potassium supplements to have beneficial
effects in the treatment of high blood pressure. Doses involved usually
range from 2.5 to 5 g. In people with normal blood pressure, those who
are salt sensitive or who have a family history of hypertension appear
to benefit most from potassium supplementation. The greatest blood
pressure-lowering effect of potassium supplements occurs in patients
with severe hypertension. This effect is pronounced with prolonged
potassium supplementation. Potassium may help to lower blood pressure in
several ways, including enhancing sodium excretion, by directly dilating
blood vessels, or lowering cardiovascular reactivity to body chemicals
which constrict blood vessels.
A 1997 analysis of studies on the
effects of potassium supplementation on blood pressure confirms that low
intake of the mineral plays an important role in high blood pressure,
and increasing intake is beneficial in treatment. Researchers at Johns
Hopkins University looked at 33 randomized controlled trials with over
2069 participants in which potassium supplements were used. Positive
effects were seen with a decrease in mean systolic pressure of 3.11 mm
Hg and in diastolic pressure of 1.97 mm Hg. The effects were enhanced in
those exposed to a high intake of sodium.1
In a study published in 1998 in the American Heart
Association journal, Hypertension, researchers at the Harvard
School of Public health tested the effects of potassium, calcium and
magnesium supplements on 300 women (average age 39 years) whose dietary
intakes of those minerals were low. The women had blood pressure in the
normal range. The women were divided into five groups: the calcium (1200
mg per day), magnesium (336 mg per day) and potassium (1600 mg per day)
groups; a group who received all three supplements; and a placebo group.
The result showed that potassium supplements lowered blood pressure
whereas calcium and magnesium supplements did not. The results also
showed that those in the three supplements group had smaller falls in
blood pressure than those in the potassium group. The researchers
speculate that calcium and magnesium might in some way interfere with
the blood pressure- lowering effect of potassium.2
Cardiovascular disease
High rates of potassium intake are associated with protection from
cardiovascular disease, including stroke, in people in both developing
and industrialized countries who eat diets high in unrefined whole
grains and vegetables. Potassium may protect against cardiovascular
diseases in a number of ways: by reducing free radical formation;
proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells; platelet aggregation; and
blood clotting.3 Potassium supplements are used to treat heart
Kidney stones
Higher potassium intakes may be beneficial in preventing kidney
stones formation. Researchers at the Kaiser Permanente Medical Centers
in Northern California have found that giving potassium-magnesium
citrate to kidney stone sufferers reduces the risk of them developing
further stones. The stones were of the calcium oxalate type. In the
double-blind study reported in the Journal of Urology, 64
patients were given either a placebo or the potassium-magnesium citrate
compound for up to three years. New kidney stones occurred in 63.6
percent of the patients taking placebo, but in only 12.9 percent of those
taking the potassium-magnesium citrate compound.4
Other uses
Potassium supplements may be of benefit in early menopause to combat
fatigue and mood swings. It can also be used to treat infant colic,
allergies and headache. During and after diarrhea, potassium replacement
may be necessary.
Interactions with other nutrients
Aside from the interactions with other electrolytes discussed above,
potassium may have a role in maintaining normal calcium balance in the
body as potassium decreases urinary loss of calcium.
Interactions with drugs
Diuretic drugs, particularly the thiazide variety, act by increasing
the output of sodium and water from the kidneys but at the same time,
potassium excretion is increased. Antibiotics taken on a long-term basis
can deplete potassium. High intakes of alcohol, coffee and sugar may
lead to potassium deficiency.
Those with dehydration, heat cramps, ulcers, kidney disease or who
are taking drugs which cause the kidney to retain potassium should avoid
potassium supplements.

This weekend, hundreds of martial arts competitors ranging in ages and belt colors will converge on Riverside Military Academy's Curtis Hall Gym to push their limits in the Atlantic Pacific Tang Soo Do Foundation's national championships.
The competition begins at 6:30 p.m. Friday with the black belt competition, and Saturday morning kicks off with opening ceremonies at 9:30 a.m.
Demonstrations from the karate masters and schools will follow Saturday morning. Then the black belt grand champions will be announced, and competition in all other divisions will begin.
The cost for spectators is $5 per day, and children younger than 6 may enter for free.
Competitors will come from as far north as Maine and as far west as Texas after being nominated by their schools for the national event, which was at Gwinnett County Fairgrounds for the past three years.
"Most of our schools locally are in North Georgia," said John St. James, president and grandmaster of the foundation. "The newest branch is in Braselton, Karate World of North Georgia and their chief instructor Senior Master Debbie Jett assisted me in finding Riverside Military Academy."
Each age division will be awarded for finishing first, second, third and co-third. In the black belt divisions, an overall men's and women's grand champion from the senior-ranking second- and third-degree black belts will be declared.
Belt divisions range from white belt to candidate for black belt with every color between. Age divisions range from "pee-wee" 4-, 5- and 6-year-olds to the seniors ages 60 and older.
"The black belt breaking divisions are always a crowd-pleaser because we break boards, and some of the masters will be breaking cinder blocks," St. James said. "People will also enjoy the opening ceremonies with the masters because they will be using traditional weaponry like swords, a staff, arnis short sticks, nunchucks and knives."
Most competitors will compete in sparring, which is controlled and technically non-contact, although some punches and kicks don't miss by much, St. James explained. For the smaller competitors, however, flag-sparring is the way to go to ensure safety.
"In the pee-wee division, we attach flags to their belts, and they have to try to get them off the other person," St. James said. "It's really entertaining to see the little kids running around the ring trying to get the flags. Every pee-wee competitor wins gold."
Vendors will also have booths with karate equipment or supplies along with other exhibitors for spectators to visit. Many schools will offer introductory or back-to-school specials for anyone interested in trying the sport.

Guinea's mines minister
Speaking in London as part of a government delegation ahead of the G8 summit, Mr Fofana, said production at Rio's iron ore mining project in south-eastern Guinea had been delayed and costs were escalating.
"In 2011, the first date of production agreed with Rio was 2015. Today, the reality is this cannot be respected," Mr Fofana told investors in London, according to Reuters.
RBC Capital Markets said Mr Fofana had said capital expenditure for the Simandou project had risen from $9 bilion in 2011 to between $16 billion and $20 billion.
In March this year Rio Tinto chief executive
Rio is working with the government of Guinea, the Aluminium Corporation of China Limited (Chalco), and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) to finalise the investment framework.
"We're working hard with the government of Guinea on finalising the investment framework, which is key to being able to develop this complex project.
"This includes discussing the requirements and influences on the timing for achieving initial production," said a Rio spokesman on Thursday.
RBC Capital Markets analyst Des Kilalea said a delay in first production and shipment of Simandou ore "has always been likely".
"Given capex over-runs in recent years, the quantum of the rise for Simandou capex is not surprising, but at $20 billion it does make it relatively expensive from a capital intensity perspective compared with the Pilbara expansion, particularly in the early years until a 95 million tonnes per annum run rate is achieved. A risk is that capex may even be higher given the need to develop major infrastructure," he said.
Rio shares closed 2.4 per cent or $1.26 lower on Thursday to $51.57 a share, while the broader market finished in the red.
The news came after Rio announced the sale of its Eagle nickel-copper mine project for an estimated $US325 million and the global miner's New Zealand accounts disclosed it had written down its majority stake in the Tiwai Point aluminium smelter by $NZ574 million.
Rio reached a binding agreement to sell its Eagle project based in northern Michigan to Lundin Mining. Citi said the final price was below its valuation of US$740 million but that figure was based on the broker's nickel price forecasts, which are significantly higher than current nickel prices.
"In isolation, this is not enough to move the needle, but if the sale of Iron Ore Company of Canada and [the copper and gold mine] Northparkes can be executed, and potentially coal as well, then it raises the potential for capital management in early 2014," said Heath Jansen, analyst at Citi.
Meanwhile, the $NZ574 million pre-tax non-cash impairment relates to Rio's 79 per cent interest in New Zealand Aluminium Smelters Limited, which operates the Tiwai Point operation near Invercargill.
The disclosure on the write-down relates to Rio's announcement in February where it revealed total write-downs of $US14.4 billion which comprised of the aluminium businesses, including New Zealand, and Mozambique coal assets.

I had my first evaluation via interpreter this week, leaving me certain that I'll attempt to learn Spanish when I'm done with school. There are a few things that I realized when the interpreter was translating the eval. First of all, interview "cadence" is not something you usually think about. I was uncomfortable and novel to the situation, stumbled over my words and awkwardly inserted pauses into my questions, which ultimately made me lose my train of thought. It took a while to figure out, but thankfully the interpreter managed well enough.
Second, body language is essential. At first, the interactions felt cold. I really rely on basic conversation, including small talk, to build rapport and make patients feel comfortable. That, obviously, was impossible during this evaluation. What I found was that by paying attention to my body language and interaction with the patient and his mother, I could build a similarly personable relationship without using "spoken" words.
Third, efficiency is key. For what normally would have taken 10 minutes, just obtaining a history through the interpreter took at least 20. When I looked at my watch and realized how much time was passing, I found myself prioritizing the key parts of the exam and saving the rest for subsequent visits. Efficiency is definitely a skill that we students develop over time. I'm not quite there, so this was a huge challenge while at the same time being a great lesson.
I never would have imagined I could learn so much from reflecting on one evaluation. I'll work toward my goal of learning Spanish after this semester is over, but in the meantime I need to master my interpreter-aided evaluations and treatment sessions. It's a fun challenge.

Healthcare struggles to meet demands of an expanding multi-lingual population.
Working with a translator is definitely an awkward situation for me still as a third year DPT student. I had my first experience on my first clinical in which my CI used a phone translator to talk to a patient. It was interesting because she couldn't figure out where to look - the patient or the phone?! Definitely awkward, but if it came down to it necessary!
I also sat through several treatments with a translator on my last clinical, working with children in the heme/onc clinic. I did not get to perform the sessions myself, as my CI decided she would take over and do the sessions (she knew the families, she had a small background of Spanish, hated not doing anything and letting me lead, and we always seemed rushed).
Not having done one completely myself I appreciate the insight into how it goes and what I can look for when I use a translator for the first time. I'm sure it gets easier with practice! I also have the plan to learn Spanish when I graduate...we shall see if I actually follow through! Did you?
Thanks for the interesting post and your observations on "cadence," body language and efficiency as a caregiver. I'm writing from the perspective of a first-year DPT student whose Bachelor's degree is in International Studies with two minors in both French and Spanish. I graduated in 2006 from Oglethorpe University in Atlanta, so this is something of a second (third?) career for me. While I'm originally from South Miami, and have significant multicultural experience both as an academic and as a professional dancer, I have approached the subject of medical interpretation with some timidity.
I do speak Spanish fluently, conversationally. At different times in my life I have been more or less fluent, depending on my needs and environment. I have also used French professionally, but my skills in that language have somewhat lapsed since I haven't spoken daily French since 2006. As with everything, if you don't use it, you lose it!
What I have learned is that medical interpretation is a highly specific, credentialed skill set. Licensed interpreters are often certified as a Community Facilitator or a Medical Translator, but some are able to pass the credentialing exam without continuing education certificates. Due to the highly sensitive and protected legal nature of medical information and consent, these professionals and their employers have a burden of liability.
I am still hopeful that as a busy DPT student, I can find the time and make the connections to engage in enrichment and continuing education that will enhance my effectiveness as a bilingual PT. Bilingual rehab specialists are so clearly a need in our profession! So far, I have purchased a workbook with Medical Spanish exercises on Amazon, which I intend to work during my upcoming clinical rotation. This summer, I hope to start volunteering at our affiliated hospital in the Volunteer department with the Interpreter Services program. From there, I should have a lot more information on how I can blend my skills and what other kinds of education and experience I can pursue.
I would love to hear any advice from your readers on how to self-study to improve medical language skills!
I am currently on my last clinical and it is in a pediatric home health setting. We are visiting many rural areas and I have had the opportunity to work with several Spanish speaking families. Even though an interpreter meets us at the house, I also want to sharpen up on my Spanish speaking skills so that I can better interact and communicate and feel more comfortable with these patients! Even though am I not even close to being fluent in Spanish you pick up on certain words that help get you through the evaluations as well as treatment sessions. I am working with children so body language and facial expressions are key. Being excited and motivating through my actions enable me to get my point across and interact with these children despite any language barrier. Being a bilingual PT would be a great skill to have, and I hope one day that I will be able to achieve that goal to better serve my patients.
I am also in school (DPT) and have had some experience with Spanish but am out of practice. I have wanted to study but don't know when to find the time. I am not sure it is realistic to think that I will find the time when I am done with school and working full-time, but I am holding out hope.
Your insight about using body language to add warmth to an interaction is interesting and something I will try and practice. Like you, I tend to use light hearted small talk and humor to put people at ease. It would be very difficult to interact without these options. I have been to foreign countries and had some experience communicating despite a language barrier but have never worked with an interpreter. Hopefully I will remember your experience when that time comes.

|Many training hikes on this mountain in preparation for Rainier, most of them up the road and only as far as the trailhead.
It was fun to finally take a day and just have a leisurely hike to the summit.
Lots of people up there hiking for a Monday.
Beautiful day & great views, will probably bring visitors here.

Date Climbed: Jun 10, 2016
|My sister and I decided to do this trip partially because she didn't have a place to stay in Seattle for the night, and partially in hopes that the weather forecast was completely wrong about all the clouds and rain. It wasn't. Left the trailhead at 6PM (yeah, we got a late start), and reached the lookout at around 7:45. Encountered snow on the last third of the trail; we had ice axes, but poles would have definitely been good enough. We shared the lookout with four others that night; a young Canadian couple and two high school girls. Made some interesting food for dinner; Alfredo really does taste better when you make it with milk. Hiked/glissaded down on Sunday morning without a hitch. Didn't get much of a view for any of the trip, but still had a good time nonetheless.

|It was such a beautiful day that a late-day hike was difficult to resist. Got to the trailhead and realized I'd left my boots at home. Made it about 2 miles up the trail but even with my trekking poles and ice axe, the sneakers were just too much of a challenge on the slushy snow.
Turned around. Another day.

There are many factors to take into consideration when choosing a new kitten, but one of the most important that often gets overlooked, is how to choose the 'right' kitten. Although it can be difficult not to spontaneously take home the first cute kitten you meet, it is extremely important to take time and consideration, to ensure that the next 15-18 years results in a happy and enjoyable relationship between cat and owner. Kittens require good socialisation and exposure to life experiences very early on in life, between 3-9 weeks, to ensure that they turn in to well-rounded adults.

ShotSpotter success— Minneapolis Police get results with new technology
Jan. 30, 2007 (MINNEAPOLIS) In its first month of operation in Minneapolis, the Minneapolis Police Department's new ShotSpotter gunfire detection system has helped police make several arrests, recover guns, and respond quickly to shots fired calls.
ShotSpotter, which is now live in about two square miles of south Minneapolis, detects gunshots using multiple sensors, triangulates the position of the gunshot with great accuracy, and immediately alerts 911 operators, who can quickly dispatch police.
In one month since the system came on line in December 2006, ShotSpotter has triggered dispatches to 69 suspected gunshot locations. Most dispatches are made in less than one minute after the shot is detected. Those alerts have helped lead to:
Ø Three felony arrests
Ø Three misdemeanor arrests
Ø Two recovered guns
Ø A recovered stolen car
Ø Information used in homicide, robbery, and shooting investigations
ShotSpotter is just one way Minneapolis is using new technology, in addition to more cops, to make neighborhoods safer. The City's budget provides for $2 million in public safety technology funding over the next two years. New security cameras along Bloomington Avenue and in Cedar Riverside are already helping deter crime, allow better police response, and provide valuable evidence for prosecutors.
By March 2007, ShotSpotter will also be operating in two square miles of north Minneapolis. Although the total area that will be covered by ShotSpotter accounts for less than 10 percent of the city's geographic area, those four square miles account for more than 50 percent of the city's shots fired calls to 911. That means the technology is going where it's needed most.
In addition to providing 911 dispatchers and police with better tools to respond to shots, it is expected the technology will eventually deter would-be criminals from committing gun violence. When police are able to respond quickly to shots fired calls, even when they're not called in to 911, the word spreads that if you fire a gun in these neighborhoods, anytime, Minneapolis Police will know and be on the scene fast.
A partnership between the City and community groups has been critical to making ShotSpotter a reality. Central Weed and Seed and Phillips Weed and Seed were instrumental in working with the City and providing funding to help bring the technology to their areas.

This is my second time getting Botox. The first turned out very well, but I did have a headache the second day. It it ok to get a flu shot that second day? Thanks!
I Am Scheduled to Have Botox on Monday. Is It Ok to Have a Flu Shot on Tuesday?
Doctor Answers 11
Botox and flu shot
Although there is no absolute contraindication to having the flu shot and botox injections within a day of each other, there is a slight possibility of feeling flu-like symptoms from the botox treatment and if they occur the day after, and you have the flu shot that day, you wouldn't know which is causing your sympoms.
Learn more: http://www.thenyac.com/botox/index.html
Botox and Flu Shot Should Not Be a Problem
There are no studies on this combination, however, once in a while (especially with patients brand new to Botox), I do get reports of a mild headache or flu-like symptoms for a day or so following a Botox injection. So, although there aren't any known contraindications, it's probably wise that you do them on different days. If you experience any flu-like symptoms Tuesday morning, hold off for a few days on the flu shot.

It should be okay to get your flu shot with Botox; there aren't any known contraindications at this point.
Botox and flu shot
It's not a problem to have Botox Cosmetic and a flu shot within a day of each other, or frankly, the same day. Neither can or will affect the other.
Botox & the Flu vaccine
Dear 678Sandy in Dallas, TX: you can have your scheduled injections with no problem. Botox on Monday, & the flu shot on Tuesday. There is no mention of any interaction between the two injections in the medical literature, that I am aware of.
I Am Scheduled to Have Botox on Monday. Is It Ok to Have a Flu Shot on Tuesday?
There is no study to my knowledge that looks at the effects of Botox injections and flu shots. I see no reason for them to interact and create a problem!
Botox can cause a flu type of feeling for a few days after the injection in rare cases!
So if you are concerned about it then do them separately other wise go for it!!
Goo luck!

Flu shot
Go ahead. But for incompatability questions Allergan is the best source. I know of no reason not to proceed.
Botox is safe in conjunction withthe flus hot
There are no adverse interactions I am aware of between Botox and the flu shot. However, if you have any additional questions you can visit the CDC's site.
Botox and flu shot
I don't think there is any science to back any answer to your question. Since my consent says that botox may be associated with flu like symptoms, I would prefer to separate the two. Although I agree that there is no interaction between them, this would be my preference.

Would the church function better as a community if everyone used Twitter?
I think it would. It's turned into a great way to keep track of people in the church and how their days and weeks are going. Good, bad or ugly it allows us to know what's happening and hopefully feel like we know people beyond the standard Sunday morning "how are you doing?" conversations.

Canon EOS 70D (Kit 18-55mm STM)
Canon EOS 70D is a versatile DSLR which is perfect for both still and live shooting. It features 3.0 inch 1040k-dot vari-angle Clear View II touchscreen LCD to review images and an optical pentaprism finder that can be used for eye-level shooting of still images.
Internally this camera comes equipped with a 20.2 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor and DIGIC 5+ image processor to ensure high-resolution images and excellent low-light sensitivity. This stunning combination of sensor and processor produces well-detailed, clear imagery that exhibits natural tonality and color gradations with minimal noise when working in difficult lighting conditions. The processor also provides notable speed throughout the camera system, including the ability to record up to 7 fps in full-resolution, quickened AF speeds and full HD 1080p video recording in multiple frame rates with manual exposure and audio level control.
The EOS 70D offers Dual Pixel CMOS AF, this is a powerful technology that revolves around the incorporation of two photodiodes within each pixel to provide an expansive phase-detection focusing system. This system affords focusing advantages that are similar to how a camcorder works and as such can focus on subjects in an incredibly fast and precise manner. Additionally, it also integrates Wi-Fi connectivity which allows instant and direct sharing of image files to an iOS or Android mobile device for sharing online.
Included with the camera body is EF-S 18-55mm STM lens, this lens serves as a versatile everyday lens that encompasses a 35mm-equivalent focal length range of 28.8-88mm. Its STM stepping motor helps to achieve near-silent focusing when used in conjunction with the Move Servo AF mode and the optical image stabilization system helps to minimize the appearance of camera shake.
Other notable specs of Canon EOS 70D are Built-In HDR and Multiple Exposure Modes, Scene Intelligent Auto and Special Scene Modes, Multi Shot Noise Reduction, Built-in pop-up flash, Self Timer, 1/8" Microphone, HDMI C (Mini), USB 2.0 and 1800mAh rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery.

HARRISBURG 3, BINGHAMTON 2: Harrisburg took the lead in the second inning with a two-out rally against B-Mets starter Gonzalez Germen and never trailed. Justin Bloxom doubled and scored on Devin Ivany's single. Dustin Martin's bobble in left allowed Ivany to take second, setting the stage for Jonathan Tucker's RBI single. The B-Mets were kept in check through the first four innings by starter Kevin Pucetas, who allowed only two baserunners. Binghamton broke through in the fifth. Wilfredo Tovar doubled, took third on a groundout and scored when Germen singled. Against Germen in the sixth, James Skelton singled and scored on Zach Walters' two-out triple. Pucetas' night ended after five innings. Paul Demny posted a scoreless sixth and handed off to Marcos Frias in the seventh. Martin helped the B-Mets scratch within a run after a leadoff single. He took second on a sac bunt and, with two outs and pinch-hitter Wilmer Flores at the plate, scampered to third on a wild pitch. Martin scored when the throw from Ivany, the catcher, sailed past Tim Pahuta. The B-Mets failed to get another runner into scoring position.
