andrebrait - Tuesday, August 12, 2014 - linkIt's a good year for Intel. First the the USB 3.0 sleep bug (which persists in Intel's mobile 8-series chipsets), now this. Reply
TiGr1982 - Tuesday, August 12, 2014 - linkNo, that sleep bug was already discovered last year (2013). Reply
TiGr1982 - Tuesday, August 12, 2014 - linkAnd don't forget P67 SATA bug in 2011. Reply
Samus - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkThey've been lacking some QA since the X58 chipset and Bloomfield/Lynnfield CPU's , their last really solid products. People who bought into those platforms 5-6 years ago still have competitive systems TODAY. Sure, they lack SATA 6Gbps and USB 3.0, but like the SSD 320 (also from that era) they are virtually flawless.
Since the 6-series chipset and introduction of Sandy Bridge, there has been an unprecedented surge in errata. Most of it is irrelevant to the general consumer (even P67 wasn't an issue unless using ports other than 0 and 1) but it shows the lapse in quality control at Intel. They're better than this! Reply
StevoLincolnite - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkI would think logically the amount of errata in a processor design would increase as the processors design complexity increases with each new successive release.
For instance it's going to be far more difficult to debug a design when you have in-excess of 2+ billion transisters than one that has 100 million transisters. Reply

The only reason i want to upgrade to x99 is the lack of sata III and usb 3 both of those features would greatly help me. I could easily wait till skylake-e and x99's successor (x119????) and not feel bad at all tho. Reply

Devfarce - Tuesday, August 12, 2014 - linkThis is interesting. I bought a base model Fall 2013 rMBP 15" with the 2.0 GHz i7-4750HQ and the processor doesn't have TSX enabled.

TiGr1982 - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkNo, that's not the case. Devil's Canyon i7 and i5 are the first UNLOCKED SKUs to feature TSX.

Assimilator87 - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkFunny you should say that. Remember the VT-d errata in the C1 stepping of Sandy Bridge-E/EP? Reply
psyq321 - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkFortunately for Intel, most SNB-EP Xeons ended up being C2 stepping, since the bug was discovered while SNB-EP was still in C0/C1 qualification stage (SNB-E was not that lucky, since they were launched several months earlier).
This time, it does not seem that the staggered launch saved EP. EX, on the other hand, yes.
But in any case, the strategy Intel is employing is smart. There is a year between the first consumer and first EP SKUs, and two years between consumer and EX parts. During that time they do manage to kill lots of issues, which is especially important for EX line which is tailored for mission-critical operations. Reply
lmcd - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkHilariously enough, that was actually fixed in BIOS for SNB-E -- I have a C1 stepping SNB-E with enabled VT-d. So now that you mention it, this probably will get fixed for most affected parties. Reply
psyq321 - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkWell, considering that Haswell EP is in mass production already, and final qualification-stage samples were out for months, the timing is bad.
I doubt Intel is going to stop imminent release of HSW-EP, which is in some weeks anyway.
SNB-EP situation was lucky, because VT-d affected C0/C1 steppings only which was only mass produced for the HEDT (consumer) part, while most of the production-grade Xeons were of C2 stepping.
This time, the situation is different - if this bug affects the latest stepping of HSW-EP, first Xeons that will be sold in public are also going to be affected.
Not good, since TSX is exactly kind of a feature you'd see in heavy use in the market for EP SKUs.
The only good for some people might be that the ebay market might soon be loaded with diverted HSW-EP engineering samples since all OEMs will probably rapidly move to qualification of the next stepping (with TSX fixes). Reply

All snark aside, c'mon, you have humans coming up with tests to try to confirm compatibility, and none of them are perfect. So if you think they can catch every esoteric situation, then I guess you'll have to adjust your viewpoint.

TiGr1982 - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkWell, in the past I happened to work in testing (software testing, however) for 5 years full time and part time, and found more than 1500 bugs during that time myself personally, so I know what testing is, and that's why I'm so critical regarding bugs. OK, hardware testing is not the same thing, but nevertheless... Reply
nbtech - Thursday, August 14, 2014 - linkYou make it seem like they don't know what they're doing, but your experience with software testing is much different. I have experience with hardware verification, and I can assure you that Intel does quite a bit of it. Its worth it for them to prevent these types of bugs. As you can imagine a widespread issue like this could end up costing billions. Luckily its just TSX, which probably doesn't affect too many people, and its possible that less verification effort was devoted to that piece and they launched it anyway and planned a fix for the next stepping. It sucks, but its not a showstopper. Reply
jhh - Friday, August 15, 2014 - linkThe more interesting question is how many bugs did you miss which were found downstream from you. If you found 1500 bugs, assuming that you were 90% effective, which is an unreasonably high percentage, then there were 1666 bugs originally, and you missed 166 of them. Per Capers Jones, the average test efficiency is 30%, while 70% of the bugs are missed.
Most hardware has some errata. I was part of a team which was fighting a bug for a couple of months, which turned out to be caused an errata (not Intel in this case). While the errata was known, the applicability to our software was not immediately apparent. The problem occurred when there was a new batch of hardware, and the problem was originally thought to be caused by the new batch. The real reason was that enough hardware had been produced that the high order bit in one byte of the (sequentially assigned) MAC address was set, and the way the MAC address was used exercised the errata. It's incredibly expensive to fix an IC after production, and even more so when the IC has been installed on a circuit board, and the worst case is when the circuit board has be shipped to many locations and is in use. Because of this, errata is usually addressed by a workaround, not by replacing the part, as long as most of the chip works. Reply
TiGr1982 - Friday, August 15, 2014 - linkYes, I agree with you and I understand this; so, hardware errors are better be found and fixed at the design and ES verification and testing stages. Of course, easier said than done. Reply
dylan522p - Monday, August 18, 2014 - linkHardware is SOOOO much more complicated than software. You have no idea. Reply
nbtech - Thursday, August 14, 2014 - linkI had a similar reaction when I first read the comment.
The tools for functional verification have improved over the past 10 years (emergence of OVM/UVM), so we'd expect to see a decrease in the occurrence of this type of issue, but the fact is that reaching 100% coverage is difficult given limited time and compute resources, and highly dependent upon writing good testbenches. Its not an easy thing to do. Reply
aamartin - Thursday, August 14, 2014 - linkI agree with nbtech. I would just like to add that debugging and fixing a bug found in silicon is reeeally hard. Narrowing down the sequence of events to make the failure repeatable is an art. Remember, a 3GHz CPU is launching instructions roughly at the rate of 3 billion per second (not even counting multi-core and multiple issue). Software-based simulators and even hardware-based emulators run orders of magnitude slower-- if you can't cause the failure in a couple of seconds, you have to debug on the silicon itself, which has limited visibility of the internal state. Reply
yuhong - Tuesday, August 12, 2014 - linkPersonally, I really hope there will be a new stepping of Haswell CPUs with the TSX errata fixed. Reply
Gigaplex - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkHaswell? Unlikely. Broadwell isn't far away. Reply
psyq321 - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkThis feature is predominantly intended for the server market.
It is highly likely that Haswell EP 2S will get a new stepping (C2 for high core versions).
I suppose 4S models will ship with fixed stepping.
The question is, will Intel also update the 1S Haswells which are pretty much identical to the desktop versions with enabled support for ECC.
Destkop/Mobile Haswells, I do not think they'd bother, but if they update 1S server SKUs, I see no reason for Intel not to silently roll out updated steppings for desktop SKUs as well, since it is the same silicon as 1S server SKUs. Reply
TerdFerguson - Tuesday, August 12, 2014 - linkIntel's response here is atrocious. TSX was a selling point for the chip, so they need to make good on it or offer refunds. Reply
Gondalf - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkReally??? Do you utilize TSX??? come on! Reply
r3loaded - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkIf you develop or use software that actually utilises TSX, you're probably in the market for the big iron Xeon EX processors. In that case, it's not an issue as Haswell-EX will have working TSX. Reply
barleyguy - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkTSX is essentially a convenience feature, to allow lock free code without as much work from a developer. The same thing can be accomplished by rewriting the code using compare and set instructions instead of blocking locks. So much like many new features, TSX doesn't enable any magic that couldn't be accomplished before, it just saves time on the development end.
From that perspective, I'm betting nobody will scream about it being missing, especially since the slightest inclination that it's unreliable would keep people from using it anyway.
When it's done and reliable, then release it. In the meantime, possibly allow an "at your own risk" feature toggle for people that live on the bleeding edge.
$.02 Reply
Senti - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkLet's take some parallels: "hardware AES is just convenience feature feature – it just saves developers the work to implement it in software". Sure! Reply
barleyguy - Thursday, August 14, 2014 - linkThat's not an equal analogy, because hardware AES is a huge performance gain, and software AES isn't difficult (just use a peer reviewed open source library at the 128 byte level and wrap it in some multiplexing code). There is no "hard" way to do AES in software that's as fast as the hardware instructions, AFAIK.
TSX is also a huge performance gain over the "easy" method of using blocking locks, but likely has comparable performance to the "hard" way of compare and set. So in that sense, it's less of a real gain, assuming of course that you're not the person paying the developers. Reply
psyq321 - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkIt is not a convinience feature. In fact, it is >easier< to write the code without it.
Have a potentially contended data (between threads)? Just lock the sucker, that's the easiest way.
But that is not the most efficient way. Basically, what TSX does is, it relies on CPU smarts to speed-up multi-threaded code >without< having to resort to even more complex (and error-prone) lock-free programming. In that way, one can call TSX a "convenience', but in reality it does require additional work, just not that much additional work.
TSX is roughly comparable to, say, SSE instructions (but it is not nearly as useful in terms of potential applications). In order to use SSE with some decent speedup, you have to do a bit more efforts in your code, so it is not really a "convenience", as it require developer to do more work, in order to achieve faster code execution. Reply
eachus - Tuesday, August 19, 2014 - linkThe issue of how to do multi-processor locks is complex. Until a decade ago, you used a semaphore or mutex, and took the timing hit of marking the lock as uncacheable. Hundreds of clocks even if you weren't modifying the lock. (Usually you would use a RMW read-modify-write instruction to put the identity of your thread in the lock and check if the lock was not reserved by comparing the returned value to zero, or -1 or whatever.) When you release the lock, you first have to check if it still contains the id that you put in, then either relase the lock or turn control over to a waiting thead. (I'm simplifying a lot, so don't shoot me.) Anyway, three main memory reads, or RMW cycles in the best case.
Then along came Opteron. Opterons, with all IO passing through a CPU chip, and cache-coherency connections to all other CPU chips, meant that requests for uncacheable memory could be ignored. The locks worked as before, but now you could have a fast (possibly 3 CPU clock latency) read or RMW cycle. I never measured 100x performance improvements unless thrashing was involved, but that tells the real story. It was no longer about how slow uncached memory was, but about how much more work your database or other application could do before it hit thrashing. Many times I could wind the CPUs up to 100% load for minutes at a time without starting to thrash, which was a very good thing. (Some other CISC and RISC CPUs also support/supported IOMMUs. Most that didn't are now dead.)
When Intel added IOMMU support to their x86/x64 CPUs they didn't duplicate what AMD had done. (And now works on all AMD CPU including single socket desktop chips, and ARM64 chips.) This is because AMD uses a MOESI protocol and Intel uses MESIF. Again way too much detail for here, but it means that in certain locking cases, you get a (relatively) slow ping-pong effect when two threads are sequentially accessing a lock. (Think producer/consumer.) By treating the transaction as speculative, and never touching the lock if there is no conflict, overall transactions are sped up.
AMD proposed a similar instruction set extension (ASF) in 2009, but AFAIK the best lcoking code was not significantly improved (on AMD CPUs) and the proposal has languished. Will this bug kill TSX? Probably not. There is an awful lot of ancient history embedded in the x86 ISA, this will just be a bit more. But I expect the effect on potential users to be the same as AMD's ASF leading programmers to better lock implementations. Reply

psyq321 - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkNo, the reason Russia is designing a new chip is because they want to protect their market (protect, as in economic protection, not security).
Russia is not designing a new CPU architecture anyway, they will use ARM architecture. Now, if you think somebody can spot a deliberate security flaw in a CPU design consisting of hundreds of millions of blocks, yeah... good luck with that. The only way to be 100% sure is to design it by yourself from scratch, and even that does not guarantee it won't have flaws that can be silently exploited.
In any case, Intel's Microcode has nothing whatsoever to do with this. You can simply prevent any theoretical possibility that somebody can use Intel AMT against you by simply not giving it access to public Internet.
Not to mention that Microcode updates are not persistent, and have to be applied after every power-on. If you do not allow BIOS upgrades and control the OS and do not allow public Internet access to the system firmware, there is simply no way somebody can exploit your CPU remotely. Reply
ObstinateMuon - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkIt's unrealistic to never connect to the internet. There needs to be a way for the user to control AMT. Reply

psyq321 - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkDepends on the legal situation.
I doubt Intel would initiate a recall just because the problem is found. In this case, it would be extremely expensive since Intel would need to replace one year of production and, now, including early batches of Xeon EPs as well.
However, if the legal pressure mounts (lawsuits filled, etc.), they might do it. But I am sure Intel would try to fight this, or limit the exposure only to certain SKUs for which it can be demonstrated that TSX is in use.
In any case, unlike FDIV bug which, basically, ruined calculation results and could affect pretty much anybody who was using Pentium CPU, this bug is less critical since it requires running software that uses TSX (not very common yet, at least not on the desktop/mobile where the biggest volume of Haswells were sold so far) and very specific conditions which are, presumably, hard to reproduce. Reply
Gigaplex - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkIf Sony can get away with removing OtherOS, then Intel shouldn't have too many issues dealing with TSX. Reply
name99 - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkDamn!
I think we have an answer as to why Broadwell desktops and laptops are delayed...
I'm guessing they believe (probably correctly) that they can ship Broadwell Y without TSX and no-one will much care. Still not clear why the gap between the laptop and quad-core chips ship dates --- maybe other reasons, or maybe they have reason to believe that the problem is probably more easily fixed on dual-core chips.
Personally I'd score this (if this explanation is correct) as +1 for my earlier explanation for the delay of Broadwell --- a consequence of the insane complexity of x86 becoming unsustainable and causing Intel real harm. Intel's only official comment is
'a complex set of internal timing conditions and system events … may result in unpredictable system behavior' and, yes, that COULD be a problem on any CPU --- but it's a whole lot more likely to occur (IMHO) on x86.
It also adds fuel to my argument that Apple is probably losing patience with Intel. As I've said, the Broadwell delays have screwed up a year of their product plans; if TSX on Haswell is broken, that also delays by at least a year the plans I believe they have to introduce an innovative set of parallel programming constructs into Swift which require HW TM. Reply
name99 - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkOK, so on reading further, I see that
(a) this likely does not affect Apple because (near as I can understand Intel's maze of feature differentiation details) the relevant parts do not ship in any Apple products. So much for that theory. (On the other hand, well done Intel --- clearly the way to get developers to support a feature you expect to charge for/be a differentiator in future is to limit it to a tiny fraction of your chips...)
(b) in turn this suggests that my theory for this delaying Broadwell is nonsense. Unless Broadwell WAS supposed to have TSX across the laptop and desktop and Intel are still hoping they can get there by delaying a few months, with a plan B of, if necessary, simply launching without the feature?

SoOo ... to the pages of folks that consider the loss of TSX to be no big deal to consumers, or having no potential affect upon beyond servers/workstations?
It is a big deal, and effects us all.
We're talking increases to transactional throughput of not less than three times, and in excess of fives times, ultimately with little (or possibly any, at some point) effort on the developer's part.
To see this trivialized in reports/forums frustrates nearly as much as Intel's disabling of this feature, which I don't believe (even for a second) to have not been absolutely necessary:
Claiming Devil's Canyon would easily/consistently overclock beyond 4.x GHz on air? Now, that *was* a marketing ploy. But, as for this scenario? I think everyone can safely remove the tin hats.
As for me? I reckon I'll try 'n cling to the hope that it may be enabled in some soon-to-be-released CPU that fits (or I've wasted even more of my limited resources/time )-;~ Reply

When my little compact died, I decided to buy myself a somewhat better camera, and ended up with the Panasonic Lumix FZ45. It took me some getting used to, but it really makes great pictures.
One thing that's puzzling me though, is how to make pictures that have the background blurred. The 'all automatic' setting usually gives me pictures that have almost everything in focus, even if I zoom in a lot.
I did some tests setting the focus manually, and when I take shots from very close it works. But the problem is that when zooming, it automatically limits the values I can set by hand, and the minimum depth I can set increases until it gets useless.
Am I doing something wrong? Or is it a limit of this kind of camera, and does it take a really professional one to make these kind of pictures?
I just have an old digital camera (from 2001), but it has a 'portrait' mode, which focuses on an object and blurs the background. Pretty simple.
This one has several portrait modes. I'll try them again, and if I can't get it to blur the background I'll be back
If you have the ability to set your F-stop and Shutter time, you can do what you want with your camera.
Without that ability, there may be some digital setting for your camera that will emulate the effect.
The only other option I know of is to use photo editing software (GIMP will work) and blur the background on a copy of the original photo.
I am not a great photographer but i love to capture still. You can use zoom lense and can adjust the focus manually (can change aperture setting) for the targetted object which will blur the background.
I didn't have a lot of time, but I managed to make some shots in the garden (alas, I had to do without a human victim... :D).
Just using the 'intelligent' mode, and zooming in, I got this result (see attached image).That's exactly what I want. I did have to zoom a lot to get the background that blurred, and fortunately the camera understood what I wanted to focus on.It doesn't always understand, sometimes it focusses on some (for me) unimportant detail or some nearby object a little bit in front or behind. That's when I might want to do some manual focussing. Didn't have time to play around with that, unfortunately. Maybe next weekend.
I also tried the portrait mode, but I must be doing something wrong, because it kept focussing on things way behind the object I wanted to capture. I guess I still have some studying to do.
Nice shot, Guido.
Yes, I have to move my old camera around a bit (and forward and back) to help it focus where I want it to.
It's only your lens that makes the image.2 properties your lens should have to give you more blur:- a larger aperture- a higher focal length
A prime lens mostly has both properties.For example: a 105mm f1.4 gives low depth of field, so more blure before and after your object.In contrary: a 28mm f8 gives high depth of field, so less blur before and after your object, ideally for landscapes and panoramas.
Aperture:A small aperture gives depth to a larger field. So a larger aperture makes this field smaller.
Focal Length:Two focal lengths compared with the same aperture settings, give you a different depth of field when shooting the same object at the same light conditions. The setting with the higher focal length gives a better result with less depth of field, and more blur before and after your object.
A higher focal lenth (going more to tele lens) is also very handy when you shoot portraits, so you don't have to be so short too your object or model.
This camera has a fixed lens:
But, when I zoom, the min/max values I can set change (I don't remember exactly, but I think that zooming the min aperture I can set isn't F2.8 anymore, but goes up).
But, like I said, I'll have to test some more.
Indeed, with this zoom lens your aperture starts at f2.8 in a wide position (to shoot panorama), and when zooming in it starts at f5.2 (for portraits).It is a variable aperture when zooming.
This f5.2 says you will not be able to shoot these images as blurry as with an f2.8 aperture at the same focal length.
For this, you need to have at max f2.8 when zoomed in. This is only possible with more expensive lenses. It's affordable with a primes lens (non-zoom), but most affordable zoom lenses have not large apertures.A zoom lens with a fixed f2.8 aperture would be good for these blurry images, but is really expensive.
Thanks for the explanation, I think I understand. I'm glad it's not me So I'll just play around a bit with it and see what I can do with this lens.
You can 'fool' the camera and force a larger aperature by shooting in lower light levels.Anohter trick is to force the automatic camera to focus on an object closer than your subject. [Almost] all digitial cameras will set the focus when you depress the shutter part-way down. By finding (or even inserting) an object between you and the subject you can force the focus on that object. This shift of focus will push your subject to the farthest reaches of the Depth-of-Field and provide the effect you desire.
Cool, I'll try that 'closer object' trick.And what do you mean by shooting in lower light levels?
If you set everything manually, you can set a larger aperture, no mather what light condition you have.
With manual settings (m), or in this case perhaps just (a), the camera cannot force a larger aperture by changing the light conditions. It's up to yourself to change these settings.If you shoot with a setting like "fixed shutterspeed only" (s), the aperture will be variable set by the camera. In a lower light level, the aperture will automatically get wider until the maximum. But if it's already at maximum, you cannot force a larger aperture any further.
I've got a forerunner to this camera and the explanations above cover your situation well. In order to get that blurred effect there are a couple of things that you are limited by technically - your lens (it's attached) and the ISO (or how sensitive the camera is to light). The other factor is the distance between your subject and the background you are trying to make appear blurry.
To ensure that you are shooting at the most open aperture for the lens I suggest putting it into 'A' mode as Bulevardi suggested. The camera should adjust the rest of the settings to ensure an appropriate exposure.
The other thing to do is stand your model away from things in the background eg. walls etc. If you want to add another component try shooting in about 100-200mm range. There's debate about the most flattering focal length for portraits but this will give you a good wide open aperture still and help to flatten the background and blur it.
The suggestion of Portrait mode is a good one. It basically puts the camera into Auto mode for selecting a small aperture, but you lose a little bit of control as the camera is still adjusting everything automatically it is just biasing itself to how it makes those decisions to a portrait setting. Personally I'd stick with 'A' mode and playing some more to discover what you like the most.
Just as a note, the relationship between ISO, aperture, lens length and shutter speed are usually covered by most basic photography books. Some are better than others but once you understand these well, then you will find you can get the camera to do what you want it to more easily. I'd grab a book from the library or look online for something friendly when you have the time.
To make the background you need to have plenty of space behind your subject and use the lens as wide open as you can get (small F number)
If the subject is moving, as is the car seen in the picture below, move the camera to follow the subject and keep it sharp while blurring the background. Try different shutter speeds to balance the background blur you want against subject blur you don't want - try 1/125 second to start. Keep your body and the camera as steady as possible, track the subject through the viewfinder and ensure your camera is focusing properly on the subject, and take the photo. This technique uses the blurred background to highlight the motion of the subject, whereas background blurred solely through a shallow depth of field is used to make the subject stand out from its surroundings.
I managed to make portrait mode shots with a blurred background. But I need to zoom in a lot to get the background to blur really good, and that means I have to keep a certain distance from the object (otherwise I'd end up with a picture of a part of the face), and that means there has to be really a lot of space between the subject and the background. The succesful portrait pictures were made in the open fields around the village where my parents live. Lots of open space there.
This is no problem when shooting flowers for example, because I can zoom in from close distance, and the background blurs nicely even if it's not so far behind the flower.
I still have to try with the 'A' mode.
A mode ( aperture ) is the mode you want. The bigger the aperture number the bigger the depth of field; check out this site: Online Depth of Field Calculator You can print out a calculator to assemble but if you have an Ipod there is an App? Do not have one but I think its what it is called!As mentioned it also depends on the amount you have zoomed in, focal length, distance from object etc.
S mode ( shutter ) is more for fast moving objects where you can select the shutter speed.
I'm a better image editor than a photo taker so I would take an in focus photo and then add special effects - blurring background etc etc - in Photoshop.

Redken Urban Experiment 4 Grit Wax - Redken Styling and Finishing Products
I'm not going to lie - I hate clean hair. Hate it. I can go days without a shampoo. And by "days" I mean lots of days. More than you want to know. But when lather, rinse repeat I must, Grit Wax is there to restore the delicate balance. Scoop a dollop, mush it about between your palms and clap a few times (with feeling!), goop it over wet hair from under/back to top/front, ride your bike around the neighborhood to tousle, maybe get some coffee while you're at it, and for heaven's sake don't brush. Hair brushes are for preppies. And you aren't a preppy, are you.

DETROIT - Food can help improve mood if a person is not just thinking about what they are eating but when they are eating it.
"As Americans we tend to eat a light breakfast, light lunch and then eat too much at dinner time and snacking in the evening, but if we could learn to balance the intake over the day that gives us the energy that we need and helps with our mood," said Bethany Thayer.
Thayer, a registered dietitian with the Henry Ford Health System in metro Detroit, said anyone who has gone too long without eating knows its hard to feel at your best when your stomach is growling and your hands are shaking because you haven't had enough to eat.
"If your blood sugars are on a roller coaster, you're not going to feel well," said Thayer.
Thayer said serotonin levels in the brain are what makes people feel good and to maximize them people should eat lean proteins and healthy grains.
She also recommends selenium.
"Selenium is one that has found if you're deficient you might be a little more prone to depression. So foods that are good sources of selenium are your nuts, specifically brazil nuts are high in selenium, your mushrooms and some of your lean proteins," said Thayer.
Everyone seems to have a "go to" food when they are stressed and upset.
"When I am mad, when I am sad, it is always something sweet. It is always some form of fatty sugar, I don't know, it is just comforting I guess, Oreos," said Dayna Harris of Detroit.
"Comfort food, cheese," said Dave Schoemer of Clarkston.
"Lots of salty foods is pretty much what does it for me," said Kyle Jarois, from Royal Oak. "My go-to is Hot Cheetos."
"Chocolate always lifts my mood," said Charlotte Russell from Detroit.
Can those comfort foods actually make you feel better? Thayer said when these foods lift your mood it's usually psychological.
"When people choose comfort foods they usually have some sort of a reference to it. So for example, when you're not feeling well and your mom gives you chicken noodle soup, then chicken noodle soup brings back those memories of mom taking care of you," said Thayer. "Chocolate, the first time you have chocolate, it tastes good, you feel good because it tastes good, and that can bring back some of those memories."
Thayer also warned there are foods that can have a negative effect on mood.
"So foods that are high in sodium, for example your Chinese meals, your processed foods that tend to have a little more sodium in them, and that can lead to swelling and that can make your heart have to work a little bit harder and not feel quite as good," said Thayer.
Vitamins and minerals might not help either.
"You're probably not going to get any real mood advancement from taking a specific vitamin or mineral supplement. So eating the foods, eating them regularly throughout the day so that your blood sugars are stable, making sure they're partnered with a protein and a good source of carbohydrates so your maximizing the serotonin, all of those things are going to help with that mood," said Thayer.
Thayer says be careful with alcohol and caffeine because people might get an instant boost but alcohol is a depressant and you will eventually come down from a caffeine high.
Experts suggest getting enough sleep, about seven to eight hours a day, and exercise, even 20 minutes daily, can lift someone's mood.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/4/2013 (1589 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A day after announcing a percentage-point increase in the PST to support infrastructure spending, the province detailed its plans this morning to improve provincial and city roads.
At a news conference at an asphalt plant on Brookside Boulevard, Premier Greg Selinger said the province would double its investment -- to $42 million -- over three years to repair potholes and improve Winnipeg city streets.
As well, it announced $21 million over the next three years for a new Municipal Roads Improvement Fund, to which municipalities outside Winnipeg can apply for up to 50 per cent of the cost of new incremental municipal road projects.
The government also said it would provide more than $3.5 billion in funding for municipal infrastructure through its Building Manitoba Fund over the next 10 years.
The province plans to invest a record $622 million in provincial bridges and highways, including those damaged by flooding in 2011, the premier said.
As part of the investment, the province has set aside funds for two new cost-shared programs:
- $25 million this year in a new Urban Highway Fund, which will enable municipalities to prioritize investments in provincial highways that affect their municipalities; and
- $25 million this year in a new Commercial Infrastructure Fund, which will assist resource industries and municipalities with cost-shared improvements such as increased loading for heavy truck traffic.
Selinger committed to providing industry with updates to Manitoba's multi-year highway project planning every two years and to work closely with industry to keep improving the way projects are tendered to increase productivity and lower costs.

Writing After Retiring?Logic Grid puzzles come with a handy interactive grid that will help you solve the puzzle based on the given clues.
Writing novels is hard work, and despite the fame and fortune, writers decide to retire. One publishing company decided to pay others to write using some of their author's names. There were 3 men, Toby Brooks, Tom Lewis, and Bronson White, and 2 women, Chelsea Clark and Katrina Reed, who have been retired for some time. However, "new" books with their names continue to appear. From the clues below match the author to their main character, the year they retired, and how many books have been published since they retired.
1- The author writing as Bronson White has written one more novel than the writer who retired in 2000, but one fewer than has been published featuring the Elf Jerlle.
2- It was a male writer who created the Wizard Broman, and another man who retired in 1994.
3- Chelsea Clark, whose name doesn't appear on exactly 5 novels, retired 3 years before the creator of mobster Small Tony, who has not been featured in exactly 7 books.
4- The creator of serial killer Arnold Fox retired three years after the man who has had four books written in his name.
5- There has been an even number of murder mysteries written about Captain Gibbs, whose writer retired after 1997.
6- The company has produced one more Toby Brooks book than books by the author who retired in 2006 who was not Katrina Reed.
AnswerToby Brooks wrote about Jerlle and has had 7 books published in his name since retiring in 1994.
Chelsea Clark wrote about Captain Gibbsand has had 8 books published in her name since retiring in 2003.
Tom Lewis wrote about Bromanand has had 4 books published in his name since retiring in 1997.
Bronson White wrote about Small Tony and has had 6 books published in his name since retiring in 2006.
Katrina Reed wrote about Arnold Fox and has had 5 books published in her name since retiring in 2000.

And Happy Holidays to any and everyone who celebrate anything today! And even if you don't, Happy Wednesday!
My kids gave me a copy of "Wicked Good Barbecue" by Andy Husbands and Chris Hart. It looks like an interesting book (pig ear terrine, anyone?) and Steven wrote the foreword.
As we were leaving my parents' house last night I mentioned that if they wanted to make the drive (we're about 50 miles apart) they were more than welcome to join us today for dinner. Sure enough, my mom called awhile back to see if the invitation still stood as their other plans had been rescheduled, so I guess it's a good thing I bought a bigger rib roast yesterday. After thinking about it I decided my initial choice was too small so I put it back and picked a larger one...how fortuitous! And since the Old Man likes his beef medium-well and beyond I'll have a taker for the end cuts.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Thousands witness a string of fights at the Veterans Memorial Arena in Downtown Saturday night, but no arrests had to be made because half of those involved were police officers fighting for a good cause.
The other 15 in the ring were firefighters as well, who know out fires for a living.
The 15th annual Guns N' Hoses Fight Night helped raise thousands of dollars for local police and firefighter charities.
This year's event was under a bit of a black cloud. The man who organized the fights for years is one of the key figures named by Federal Officials in the internet cafe scam involving Allied Veterans of the World.
Robbie Freitas had been vice president for the local Fraternal Order of Police Union. He and former FOP President Nelson Cuba were arrested in March for their alleged role in the scheme that government officials say stole millions of dollars from veterans charities.
Retired Sheriff's Office Chief David Stevens took over the event.
He said the arrest of the organizations two former leaders hasn't knocked out the community's support for the fights.
"I don't think a lot of people have to had their opinion change. A lot of people know it's a good organization. You know, we just have to work hard everyday and let them know what it's really about," Stevens said.
Both Cuba and Freitas were removed from their roles in the police union.

Hicks looks to get on track with blast
Twins' No. 2 prospect hits first homer of the year, plates four
By Robert Emrich / Special to MLB.com | April 9, 2012 6:40 PM ET
The Twins' No. 2 prospect hit his first homer of the year and finished with four RBIs as Double-A New Britain beat Harrisburg, 6-3, in the Eastern League
With the game in the third inning, 1-1, Hicks took Senators starter Mike Ballard deep for a three-run blast. The 22-year-old center fielder added an RBI single in the fifth and later scored.
"It was a 3-2 fastball on the outside, the guy had been throwing me a lot of offspeed inside and I had been fighting it off," Hicks said. "He threw one middle-out and I hit it pretty well."
A first-round pick in 2008, Hicks entered Monday's contest 1-for-12 with an RBI for the Rock Cats. The California native felt good about how he was swinging the bat and that the results would catch up.
"I didn't really change my approach, I've been hitting balls solid but today they actually dropped," Hicks said. "I was trying to look for pitches to drive and I got the pitches."
Hicks spent the 2011 season in the Class A Advanced Florida State League, where he batted .249 with 78 walks and 79 runs scored for the Fort Myers Miracle. The average was the lowest of his four-year career, and he learned some lessons from that.
"Stop trying to hit homers," Hicks said. "Sometimes I get in that happy mode where I get pitches right down the middle and I try to do too much with it and get myself out. Just letting it happen, not trying to create lift and just hit the ball solid. Playing out there in the Florida State League, there's not that many hitters' parks there and you really have to get it."
Alex Wimmers, the club's No. 15 prospect, allowed two runs on six hits while fanning three over 4 2/3 innings. Delois Guerra earned the win in relief, allowing two hits over 2 2/3 scoreless innings.

Habitat to evict four families
Organization said families did not fulfill volunteer hours, pay
Saturday, Aug 16, 2014 06:00 am
Since 2007, Habitat for Humanity Edmonton has given 277 families a home across the capital region. In all of that time, only five families were asked to leave before their tenancy was over.
That number will now rise to nine, as Habitat evicts four of its families from their St. Albert homes. They all have to move out by Aug. 31.
To Katie Canning and her two daughters, that means moving back in with her parents in Morinville.
�The notice outlines that we all signed our tenancy agreement and that if any policies are not adhered to then you will be asked to leave,� she said.
�They are disappointed that the constant minimum hours of 25 per month have not been met.�
Based on Habitat�s website, families qualify to live in the homes if they have children under 18 living at home and their current housing is substandard, does not meet their needs, or they are otherwise not able to purchase a home.
Families must earn between $32,000 and $56,000 per year. They also pay a mortgage and must commit 500 hours on the Habitat site.
A parent of two children with disabilities, Canning had moved into her Habitat home on 70 Arlington Dr. in September 2013.
She said she recently took a four-month stress leave. During that time, she did not receive her regular pay.
She was also not able to keep up with her volunteer hours, she said.
�If Disability sees that I am volunteering and doing labouring work and not working then I will lose my disability,� she said.
She added that she since tried to catch up with both her outstanding volunteer hours and rent, paying $300 extra on top of her regular $900 per month.
She hoped the families would be given another chance. She also worries that the controversy around the Habitat build in St. Albert may have influenced the organization�s decision to let more families go.
Asked if she told Habitat about her personal issues, she said they knew.
�They said that�s unfortunate but you do need to complete your sweat equity hours,� she said.
In 2007, Habitat started a one-year probationary tenancy program that tests families as homeowners, said Alfred Nikolai, CEO and president of Habitat Edmonton.
During that time, families must complete their 500 hours of volunteer service, he said. They must also prove that they keep their home and yard in good condition, and can make their payments on time.
While most families complete this tenancy agreement, the four St. Albert families did not keep up with their payments and volunteer hours, he said.
�Sometimes, no matter how good the opportunity is, families just don�t seize that opportunity for whatever reason,� he said. �And we absolutely won�t budge on the sweat equity issue. Every one of our families has to provide 500 hours.�
That�s not to say Habitat will not make allowances, he said.
The organization is flexible and will allow people to pay them later or make up lost time, he said. He stressed that the organization is not out to make money, as mortgage payments are reinvested into new Habitat homes.
But these four families had simply reached their limit on extensions, he said.
He added that it was pure coincidence that all of the families come from St. Albert.
While Aurora Place has been at the centre of controversy for years, neighbourhood complaints did not influence Habitat�s decision to let the families go, he said.
�We did put 30 families in there at once and for whatever reason a larger percentage of the families we selected there than normal aren�t going to be successful,� he said.
�We�ve given them one heck of a wonderful chance and opportunity here and they chose not to follow through with it.�
No contact
Canning said none of the families have been able to communicate with Habitat since they were given their eviction notice.
She had hoped they would be able to work out a solution, she said. Now they all need to find a new home.
�One family has seven kids and is looking at a place that costs $2,000. We need a home. We can�t just be on the street,� she said. �So now we are going back to Morinville. I have no choice.�

On the Road with Choice Organic Teas in India
Join Ray Lacorte, Head of Operations at Choice Organic Teas, on his journey to visit to the Oothu Tea Estate in Southern India
Last October, Ray Lacorte, the Head of Operations at Choice Organic Teas, traveled to India where he visited Oothu Estate, a Fair Trade tea garden that the company has worked with for two decades. Read on to learn how he uncovered the cause of a persistant drought in the region.
A 20-Year Partnership
One of the key components of Choice Organic Teas' English Breakfast is Black BOPF from Oothu Tea Estate, a certified organic and Fair Trade Certified tea estate located in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Both Choice Organic Teas and Oothu are pioneers in organic agriculture and social responsibility. Choice Organic Teas is the first exclusively certified organic tea line in North America. Similarly, Choice Organic Teas was the first to launch Fair Trade Certified tea in 2000. In turn, Oothu Tea Estate is the first certified biodynamic and Fair Trade Certified plantation in all of India.
Choice Organic Teas started buying certified organic teas from Oothu in 1992 and hence, my visit last October marked a twenty-year milestone between Choice Organic Teas and Oothu. Oothu tea gardens are situated in the core of Kalakkad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve, a gorgeous expanse located in the Southern Western Ghats in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. At an elevation of approximately 4000 feet, the view from Oothu offers nothing less than spectacular views of the Manimuthar Lake and towering peaks of the Western Ghats.
My journey to Oothu began from Kalladaikurichi, a positively hot and small town in Indian terms with a population of a little over 25,000. Kalladaikurichi's claim to fame is merely its location, which is situated at the base of the tiger reserve, a popular tourist destination for wildlife viewing, with mainly tiger searching rather than actual watching given the rarity of sightings. My late afternoon drive up to the tea estates from Kalladaikurichi was on a relatively well-maintained and winding road and yielded a modest set of wildlife sightings: a curious wild boar, Nilgiri langur monkeys, an assortment of songbirds, wild jungle fowls, and of course peacocks, the national bird of India.
A Persistant Drought
South India had been experiencing an unseasonably dry monsoon season leading to lower than average annual rainfall throughout the region. The tea estates have endured a record-setting drought, which the region had not experienced since 1975. At the time of my visit, rainfall level at the tea estates was seventy percent lower than average. Nothing demonstrated the dry conditions more than the Maripunam Lake, which had visibly receded from its normal shore levels, with helpless small boats lying in dry beds. Nevertheless, the tea leaves kept the rolling hills an immaculate green and the tea bushes themselves looked robust.
Oothu is part of the Singampatti Group, which consists of a number of tea estates covering over eight hundred hectares. Singampatti means the "River of Pearls" and our trek's first stop was located at a river from where the name could have easily been inspired. Its tranquil presence under a charming old bridge was only a mere foreshadowing of the sceneries we would enjoy throughout our visit.
Plucking & Drying Tea Leaves by Hand
Plucking tea leaves from the bush commences around 9 am and is performed by hand and shears. A tea plucker can achieve a daily yield anywhere from a dozen kilograms to one-hundred kilograms, depending on the conditions of the bushes and immediate elements.
The plucked leaves are taken to the Oothu tea processing factory which consists of a series of machinery for the last phases of creating the perfect tea leaf. One of the key steps in tea processing is the drying of the leaves. Steaming is a method typically employed in India to dry newly plucked moist leaves. The branches from trees in the estates are used as firewood in the steaming stage. Throughout the various manufacturing stages, whether it was in the fermentation areas or the rolling and drying of the leaves, strict quality control and safety measures were employed for the protection of the tea and the workers.
As with any of my visits to manufacturing facilities, I went away with a much greater appreciation of the work involved in creating a finished product.
Community Development Premiums in Action
At Oothu, care is extended well beyond the agricultural processes. Community Development Premiums received by Oothu as part of the Fair Trade program are worker-managed to provide the community with a variety of services. One of these benefits includes funding a hospital staffed with two doctors and fully trained nurses. The hospital is fully equipped and prepared to handle a variety of conditions including maternity care. Likewise, day care and an elementary school are also provided for children of plantation and factory workers.
During a brief visit at the daycare center, I was serenaded by a cheerful group of children singing a nursery rhyme. Upon translation of the rhyme, I found out that the song was:
"Rain, rain go away, come again some other day."
And it was then that understood why the drought had remained stubbornly persistent.

Hi All,I'm quite a novice with SQL databases, so please excuse me if this has been covered before.
I have data in .xls files and I would like to load it into my tables in my MySQL database.
Is there a quick way to do this via import, or something similar?
save the excel sheet as a CSV file, then use the mysql LOAD DATA INFILE command (you may need to look up the syntax)
Thank you, I'll try that tomorrow
I've found the syntax for LOAD DATA INFILE:
LOAD DATA INFILE Syntax
LOAD DATA [LOW_PRIORITY | CONCURRENT] [LOCAL] INFILE 'file_name' [REPLACE | IGNORE] INTO TABLE tbl_name [CHARACTER SET charset_name] [{FIELDS | COLUMNS} [TERMINATED BY 'string'] [[OPTIONALLY] ENCLOSED BY 'char'] [ESCAPED BY 'char'] ] [LINES [STARTING BY 'string'] [TERMINATED BY 'string'] ] [IGNORE number LINES] [(col_name_or_user_var,...)] [SET col_name = expr,...]
But, at present I'm not confident about what values to enter. 'file_name' is obvious, but I don't know enough about working with MySQL to fill the rest in.
However, you have answered my question, and it's good to know that this time saving procedure is pos.
Thank you r937
PS I've got your book and I love it and I'm working my awl through it.
PPSIf you have time to help me through the syntax above that would be great, but it's a lot to ask and if that's not pos I understand.
it is a lot to ask, especially since i've only done it twice
but the syntax is really easy, you should be able to put together a test case in minutes
if it fails to load properly, i can help you with error messages or incorrect results etc.
Ok, many thanks, I'll have a go at it,
Well, I had a go at this but did have errors and it failed to work. I didn't really want to trouble you as I feel I don't really know what I'm doing.
While I was sulking at my failure, I had a look around in phpMyAdmin and saw the import button, tried it and wonderful, it imported my csv file.
I had to change the database and table names which was easy and bingo, database and table created.

Temperature limits
The permissible operating temperature for tapered roller bearings can be limited by:
- the dimensional stability of the bearing rings and rollers
- the cage
- the lubricant
When temperatures outside the permissible range are expected, contact the SKF application engineering service.
Bearing rings and rollers
SKF tapered roller bearings undergo a special heat treatment. The bearings are heat stabilized up to:
- D ≤ 160 mm → 120 °C (250 °F)
- D > 160 mm → 150 °C (300 °F)
Steel or PEEK cages can be used at the same operating temperatures as the bearing rings and rollers. For temperature limits of cages made of other polymer materials, refer to Cage materials.
Temperature limits for SKF greases are provided under Lubrication.
When using lubricants not supplied by SKF, the temperature limits should be evaluated according to the SKF traffic light concept.

Mayoral race has Democrats feuding
Published: Thursday, April 25, 2013 at 5:03 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, April 25, 2013 at 5:03 p.m.
In the aftermath of the recent Gainesville mayoral runoff, a rift is widening between Alachua County's Democratic Party leadership and members of a local black Democratic organization.
The Democratic Executive Committee is lobbying the state party to revoke the Alachua County Democratic Black Caucus' charter because members supported Republican Ed Braddy over incumbent Democrat Craig Lowe, a DEC member, in the nonpartisan race.
Braddy, a former city commissioner, unseated Lowe by a comfortable margin in the April 16 runoff.
"Our relationship with the local African-American community has been negatively impacted and Gainesville will now have a Republican mayor in part because of the activities of the ACDBC and some of its members," Democratic Executive Committee officers said in an April 17 letter to the state party.
"Thank you for taking action on this matter promptly before further damage is done," the letter reads.
One of the black caucus members, Charles Goston, dismissed the allegations as "frivolous, a smear campaign" and a "white superiority move."
Goston said the DEC and the state party do not support minority candidates locally. He pointed out that state party contributions to Lowe's campaign totaled some $19,000 between the regular election and runoff. By contrast, former Commissioner Scherwin Henry, who is black, received nothing from the groups during his mayoral campaign.
The DEC letter was signed by local party chair Robert Prather, vice chair Evelyn Foxx, who is president of the Alachua County branch of the NAACP, state committeeman Terry Fleming and state committeewoman Jeanna Mastrodicasa, a former city commissioner.
Prather and Foxx declined comment Thursday. State party officials could not immediately be reached for comment.
The letter specifically mentions caucus members Goston, Juanita Miles-Hamilton and Barbara Sharpe, a former School Board member, as Braddy supporters.
Among the things DEC leaders said Goston, Miles-Hamilton and Sharpe were seen doing: wearing Braddy T-shirts, holding Braddy campaign signs on street corners and appearing in interviews or pictures in The Sun, on television and on the conservative talk radio show Talk of the Town.
The letter stated that WCJB-TV 20's coverage of Braddy's celebration party showed Miles-Hamilton at the event, noting that she is visible at 35 seconds and 58 seconds into the broadcast.
"We're in a nonpartisan race for mayor, and I supported the best candidate," she said Thursday.
The letter is the latest move in what is becoming a deepening chasm between the groups.
Miles-Hamilton, the treasurer of the black caucus, said she supported Lowe in his 2010 campaign but grew disillusioned with the way he handled the position of mayor.
This year, she served as the campaign manager for fellow Democrat Henry, who did not make it to the April 16 runoff.
Miles-Hamilton pointed out that members of the county's Democratic leadership and the state party favored one Democrat over another when they backed Lowe and did not support Henry.
In the final days before the March 19 regular election, records show that the state party contributed $2,500 to Lowe's campaign but gave no financial support to Henry.
During the campaign, the caucus hosted two candidate debates, and Lowe did not attend either. He missed the runoff debate to attend a campaign fundraiser hosted by Foxx.
At both debates, Goston served as moderator and routinely criticized the current City Commission majority, which includes six members of the DEC. At the March debate, he said city policies "destroy lives" across the city.
At the April runoff debate, Goston criticized Lowe in questions to Braddy, saying the city has been "exposed to the lack of leadership for three years."
The tone toward Braddy was more positive.
"Have-nots in the city of Gainesville that lie east of Waldo Road, how do you motivate them to know what I know, that you are for the people?" Goston asked Braddy at one point.
Goston said state party leadership and local elected Democrats who are members of the DEC are not concerned about the economic issues facing the predominantly black areas of town.
"These Democrats don't care about us until it's election time," he said. "If they did, the east side of Gainesville would look a lot different."

Oxycodone/ acetaminophenPronunciation
Generic Name: oxycodone/acetaminophen (OX-i-KOE-done/a-SEET-a-MIN-oh-fen)
Brand Name: Examples include Endocet and Percocet
Oxycodone/acetaminophen contains acetaminophen. Severe and sometimes fatal liver problems, including the need for liver transplant, have been reported with the use of acetaminophen. Most cases of these liver problems occurred in patients taking excessive doses of acetaminophen (more than 4,000 mg per day). Also, patients who developed these liver problems were often using more than 1 medicine that contained acetaminophen. Discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor.
Oxycodone/ acetaminophen is used for:
Relieving moderate to moderately severe pain. Oxycodone/acetaminophen may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Oxycodone/acetaminophen is a combination of a narcotic and an analgesic/antipyretic. It works in the brain and nervous system to decrease pain.
Do NOT use oxycodone/ acetaminophen if:
- you are allergic to any ingredient in oxycodone/acetaminophen
- you have high blood carbon dioxide levels (hypercarbia) or a certain severe bowel problem (paralytic ileus)
- you have severely slow or difficult breathing or severe asthma, or you are having an asthma attack
- you are taking sodium oxybate (GHB)
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using oxycodone/ acetaminophen:
Some medical conditions may interact with oxycodone/acetaminophen. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have had an allergic reaction to any codeine- or morphine-related medicine (eg, hydrocodone, dihydrocodeine, hydromorphone)
- if you have a history of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or other lung or breathing problems
- if you have or recently have had any head injury, increased pressure in the brain, growths in the brain (eg, tumors), or infection of the brain or nervous system
- if you have a history of heart problems (eg, cor pulmonale), low blood pressure, the blood disease porphyria, stomach or bowel problems (eg, blockage, paralysis), inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis), gallbladder problems, liver problems (eg, hepatitis), kidney problems, seizures, thyroid problems, adrenal gland problems (eg, Addison disease), curvature of the spine (scoliosis), prostate problems (eg, an enlarged prostate), or trouble urinating
- if you are in very poor health; are dehydrated or have low blood volume; or have drowsiness, stomach pain, or severe diarrhea caused by antibiotic use (pseudomembranous colitis)
- if you drink alcohol; have a history of drug or alcohol abuse, mood or mental problems, or suicidal thoughts or actions; or are going through withdrawal from alcohol or other substances
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with oxycodone/acetaminophen. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Anticholinergics (eg, scopolamine, oxybutynin) because the risk of a certain severe bowel problem (paralytic ileus) may be increased
- Cimetidine, muscle relaxants (eg, cyclobenzaprine), phenothiazines (eg, chlorpromazine), or sulfinpyrazone because the risk of side effects, such as severe drowsiness, slow or difficult breathing, confusion, and seizures, may be increased
- Azole antifungals (eg, itraconazole, ketoconazole), beta-blockers (eg, propranolol), clarithromycin, isoniazid, nefazodone, protease inhibitors (eg, boceprevir, ritonavir), or telithromycin because they may increase the risk of oxycodone/acetaminophen's side effects
- Buprenorphine, butorphanol, nalbuphine, naltrexone, pentazocine, or rifamycins (eg, rifampin) because they may decrease oxycodone/acetaminophen's effectiveness
- Lamotrigine, loop diuretics (eg, furosemide), or zidovudine because their effectiveness may be decreased by oxycodone/acetaminophen
- Anticoagulants (eg, warfarin) or sodium oxybate (GHB) because the risk of their side effects may be increased by oxycodone/acetaminophen
- Medicines that may harm the liver (eg, acetaminophen, methotrexate, certain medicines for HIV infection) because the risk of liver side effects may be increased. Ask your doctor if you are unsure if any of your medicines might harm the liver
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if oxycodone/acetaminophen may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use oxycodone/ acetaminophen:
Use oxycodone/acetaminophen as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Take oxycodone/acetaminophen by mouth with or without food. If stomach upset occurs, take with food to reduce stomach irritation.
- If you have been taking oxycodone/acetaminophen regularly or for longer than a few weeks, do not suddenly stop taking it without checking with your doctor. Your doctor may need to gradually lower your dose.
- If you miss a dose of oxycodone/acetaminophen and you are taking it regularly, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use oxycodone/acetaminophen.
Important safety information:
- Oxycodone/acetaminophen may cause dizziness, light-headedness, blurred vision, or drowsiness. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines.

- Oxycodone/acetaminophen may cause dizziness, light-headedness, or fainting; alcohol, hot weather, exercise, or fever may increase these effects. To prevent them, sit up or stand slowly, especially in the morning. Sit or lie down at the first sign of any of these effects.
- Do not drink alcohol while you are using oxycodone/acetaminophen.
- Check with your doctor before you use medicines that may cause drowsiness (eg, sleep aids, muscle relaxers, narcotic pain medicines) while you are using oxycodone/acetaminophen; it may add to their effects. Ask your pharmacist if you have questions about which medicines may cause drowsiness.
- Do NOT take more than the recommended dose or take more often than prescribed without checking with your doctor.
- Tell your doctor or dentist that you take oxycodone/acetaminophen before you receive any medical or dental care, emergency care, or surgery.
- Oxycodone/acetaminophen may cause constipation. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about using a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. It is also important to maintain a diet adequate in fiber, drink plenty of water, and exercise to prevent constipation. If you become constipated while taking oxycodone/acetaminophen, talk with your doctor or pharmacist.
- Oxycodone/acetaminophen may harm your liver. Your risk may be greater if you drink alcohol while you are using oxycodone/acetaminophen. Talk to your doctor before you take oxycodone/acetaminophen or other fever reducers if you drink alcohol.
- A very bad skin reaction (Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis) may happen. It can cause very bad health problems that may not go away and sometimes death. Get medical help right away if you have signs like red, swollen, blistered, or peeling skin (with or without fever); red or irritated eyes; or sores in your mouth, throat, nose, or eyes.
- Oxycodone/acetaminophen has acetaminophen in it. Before you start any new medicine, check the label to see if it has acetaminophen in it too. If it does or if you are not sure, check with your doctor or pharmacist.
- Contact your doctor right away if you take more than 4,000 mg of acetaminophen per day, even if you feel well.
- Oxycodone/acetaminophen may interfere with certain lab tests. Be sure your doctor and lab personnel know you are taking oxycodone/acetaminophen.
- Use oxycodone/acetaminophen with caution in the ELDERLY; they may be more sensitive to its side effects, especially breathing problems and drowsiness.
- Oxycodone/acetaminophen should be used with extreme caution in CHILDREN; safety and effectiveness in children have not been confirmed.
- PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using oxycodone/acetaminophen while you are pregnant. Oxycodone/acetaminophen is found in breast milk. Do not breast-feed while taking oxycodone/acetaminophen.
When used for long periods of time or at high doses, oxycodone/acetaminophen may not work as well and may require higher doses to obtain the same effect as when originally taken. This is known as TOLERANCE. Talk with your doctor if oxycodone/acetaminophen stops working well. Do not take more than prescribed.
Some people who use oxycodone/acetaminophen for a long time may develop a need to continue taking it. People who take high doses are also at risk. This is known as DEPENDENCE or addiction. If you suddenly stop taking oxycodone/acetaminophen, you may experience WITHDRAWAL symptoms including anxiety; diarrhea; fever, runny nose, or sneezing; goose bumps and abnormal skin sensations; nausea; vomiting; pain; rigid muscles; rapid heartbeat; seeing, hearing, or feeling things that are not there; shivering or tremors; sweating; and trouble sleeping.

Root canal future crown work
Hello:) When is a post/crown combo needed vs. just a crown by itself?
Would it be overkill to put a post/crown combo in a #7-(is the root too narrow?)
And is a thick Veneer (NOT Lumineers) that covers half the back of the tooth enough to structurally protect a tooth that has had previous root canal work on it?
If a crown or veneer IS being placed on a previously root canal treated tooth, is it always necessary to have a root canal treatment RE-DONE beforehand-is the last one was done yrs earlier?
Is there anything an x-ray won`t reveal about a formerly treated root canal tooth?
Thanks for your very important time.
In response to your questions, I will itemize:
1. Tooth #7 (maxillary lateral incisor) is not a uniform size for everyone so that would need to evaluated by a dentist. I would recommend a second opinion. Most maxillary lateral incisors are large enough for a post and crown.
2. In general, full coverage crowns are recommended for root canal treated teeth, but it depends on the forces on the tooth. The lateral incisor is usually somewhat protected by its neighboring teeth.
3. Root canals need redone if the seal has been jeopardized in some way. Again, this should be evaluated clinically and radiographically.
4. There are things that we can not see on radiographs such as cracks. In this event, we need to rely on symptoms.

Andover Tennis Club's premier men's team secured their first victory in Division One of the Hampshire and Isle of Wight League on Sunday.
Having won promotion last season under captain Mike Prince, they had lost 2-7 to Southbourne and, more narrowly, on a tie break, to Virgin Active Southampton.
It was important to get a victory if they were to avoid relegation and this they did in some style. Playing Lee on Solent, one of the county's most prestigious clubs, they won 8-1.
Lee's team was led by new coach Matt Rogers and the match was played in a very sporting way under his leadership.
Andover captain for the day and club coach, Martyn Isherwood had selected a team with a mixture of youth and experience with some not long out of the juniors and others playing for the veteran teams.
Andover first pair, A level students, Hallam Doney and Alex Lee, played some fabulous tennis with exciting exchanges and wonderful mobility.
They beat the number twos by 6-1, 6-0, the threes by 6-0,6-0, and then Matt Rogers and his young partner, also Hallam's partner in the Peter Symonds team, at number one, by 7-6, 7-5.
Martyn and Army representative player Alun Williams beat the number twos 6-4, 5-7 and a deciding championship tie break, 10-1. They then beat the thirds 6-2 6-1 and the ones in a tight match 6-3, 3-6, 10-4.
The third pair, the more experienced Shaun McDonald and Jeff Lill played some great tennis against the ones in the second set but went down 1-6, 5-7.
Their volleying skills, however, were dominant in the other two matches and they won 3-6, 6-2, 10-7 and 6-1, 7-6.
With matches against West Hants and Winchester coming up, the team will need to be at their very best if they are to stay in the county's top division.
This result shows that there is the talent and the determination in the club, to do so.
