Tech MBA Online Ranked Among US News and World Report's Honor Roll Programs
January 10, 2012—
The Tech MBA Online in Michigan Technological University's School of Business and Economics has been ranked among the honor roll programs in first-ever online rankings by US News and World Report.
Michigan Tech was ranked 24th in Admission Selectivity and 38th in Teaching Practices and Student Engagement among the 161 online graduate business programs honored. The Tech MBA Online was also ranked 82nd in Student Services and Technology.
"Our Tech MBA Online is focused on innovation and technology management and is perfect for emerging industries, fast-paced environments and traditional businesses facing change," says Max Seel, provost and vice president for academic affairs. "I am very proud of the faculty and staff of our School of Business and Economics that our online degree is recognized in the honor roll lists of online programs by the US News and World Report."
Darrell Radson, dean of the School of Business and Economics, adds: "This recognition confirms that our program is successfully established as a quality online education. Through the Tech MBA Online's innovative teaching methods and residency requirements, particularly our international residency, we are producing the type of student that employers demand."
According to the US News press release, their new rankings "were created in response to today's high demand for education provided in a flexible manner. With many distractions to detract from one's schooling, online education has become increasingly popular due to its flexibility."
There were no numeric rankings for overall program quality this inaugural year, US News said. Instead, they created non-numeric honor roll lists of online programs. There is one honor roll for online bachelor's degree programs and one for the master's degree programs. Each list includes programs that performed well across a series of numeric indicator rankings.
Michigan Technological University (www.mtu.edu) is a leading public research university developing new technologies and preparing students to create the future for a prosperous and sustainable world. Michigan Tech offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in engineering; forest resources; computing; technology; business; economics; natural, physical and environmental sciences; arts; humanities; and social sciences.

He isn't a BDFL, he isn't even an active member and hasn't logged in for over a month. If we build a superior product, then the next time the forum goes down and he isn't around to help I suspect the community will migrate rather than stagnate. In what I consider to be the worst case, the mere threat of this would keep jkkbwr on his toes; in the best case we get a better product. The potential benefits are very large though, with us having full control over the software and being able to have all the old content back, as well as better spam protection, a more clear way of telling new users to use code tags, etc. Keeping with PHPbb there's no good way to move forward and retain the old benefits or get any new.
On a slightly more pessimistic note, I'm speculatively afraid jkkbwr doesn't actually own the domain and we're still under the control of the old owner. This is because of what shows up in the whois for this site. Further fear comes with the fact that we were supposed to display a thank you banner or whatever, and that never happened. It looks like this domain expires again in April as well. The whois says that it doesn't assure accuracy so none of that is dooming but it's all concerning to me.
If people are concerned about wasting their time, I can appreciate that, but in theory I for one still want to create something better, assuming I get around to blocking off some time for it.

Try spraying the clay with water to soften it up again, pull it off and start over.
Posted 12 December 2012 - 04:15 PM
yeah, you can soften the clay up a bit and try to remove - but you'll have to dry it out longer to cure the mold before using. i recommend trying to use an air hose if you have access to air compressor - stream your air between the clay and plaster to try to release w/o damaging the plaster with tools. you can also use a damp sponge to remove clay from your plaster.

alright, I will try it!
thank you!

Gators get special effort
UF finds another way to move ball
Published: Sunday, October 14, 2012 at 8:37 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, October 14, 2012 at 8:37 p.m.
Florida has been able to get production from all three phases of the game, and, as a result, it has allowed the Gators to gain sole possession of first place in the SEC Eastern Division and garner recognition as one of the top teams in the country.
On Saturday night, it was the Florida special teams' turn to play a key role for the 31-17 win at Vanderbilt.
Florida scored on a two-point conversion, blocked a 44-yard field goal attempt, picked up 54 yards off a fake punt and returned a kickoff 60 yards that led to points. Caleb Sturgis was 3 for 3 on field-goal attempts and Kyle Christy averaged 46.2 yards on five punts.
"D.J. Durkin, our special teams coordinator, does a fantastic job," Florida coach Will Muschamp said on his Sunday television show. "Our players understand the importance of special teams. And when you are on the road, those are the type of plays that make a difference in the game."
The work by the special teams turned momentum in Florida's favor, Muschamp said.
"It's something we have worked on and we have a couple plays off of that," Muschamp said of the two-point conversion. "Real pleased with being able to execute that in that situation and create some momentum for our football team."
With UF holding a slim 11-7 lead, the Gators pulled off a blocked field-goal attempt, and, on the ensuing possession, the 54-yard Solomon Patton run off a fake punt that led to a touchdown and an 18-7 advantage.
"Earl Okine, Sharrif Floyd and Omar Hunter got a great push and were able to get the block there," Muschamp said. "Loucheiz (Purifoy) scooped it up. Wished he got on the sideline there, but he needs to secure the ball. We don't need to be lateraling the thing everywhere.
"The fake punt, I felt like we needed a momentum change in the game. It's something we've practiced for a long time. We executed it extremely well. What a great block by Jon Bostic and Frankie Hammond on the edge."
Then, following a Vanderbilt touchdown that brought the score to 21-14, Andre Debose returned the ensuing kickoff 60 yards to set up another Sturgis field goal.
"Andre Debose came out with a big kickoff return," Muschamp said. "It was blocked very well. Very proud to get that momentum swing back."
Notes: Muschamp did not give an injury update Sunday. The status of the three injured starters on the offensive line will be determined this week. Center Jon Harrison went out with an arm injury on the first offensive series Saturday, left tackle Xavier Nixon has an upper-body injury suffered in the second quarter and left guard James Wilson didn't make the trip after injuring an eye in Wednesday's practice.
"We were a little bit of a MASH unit on the offensive line," Muschamp said. "My hat's off to D.J. Humphries (tackle), Ian Silberman (guard) and Sam Robey (center) coming in and doing a fantastic job."
Freshman wide receiver Latroy Pittman, who made his first start, and linebacker Michael Taylor left the game with ankle injuries.
Defensive tackle Dominique Easley (knee) and linebacker Jelani Jenkins (hamstring) made the trip, but did not play.
"We need to get those guys back, but proud of the guys that stepped in," Muschamp said. "We have a motto around here, 'Man down, man up,' and we certainly had some guys do that."
College GameDay will be in Gainesville on Saturday, when UF makes its 35th appearance (which leads the nation) on the ESPN program. It's the program's first appearance in Gainesville since Nov. 28, 2009, a 37-10 win over FSU. Florida has already made two appearances on GameDay this season, at Texas A&M and at Tennessee.

A man accused of throwing his fiancee off a high-rise balcony will stand trial for her murder.
Simon Gittany, 39, has pleaded not guilty to murdering Lisa Harnum by pushing her off the balcony of their apartment in Sydney's CBD on July 30, 2011.
Magistrate Clare Farnan ruled in Downing Centre Local Court on Friday that there there was enough evidence to commit Gittany to stand trial over her death.
Ms Farnan accepted that the prosecution case relied heavily on the account of a witness crossing Hyde Park who saw an object he believed at the time was a duffel bag being dropped from the balcony.
It was only when he got closer that the witness realised the object was a person.
Ms Farnan said that if a jury accepted the key witness's evidence it could be crucial in convicting Gittany of murder.
She said the prosecution case relied to a "very large degree" on his evidence.
"A properly instructed jury could accept that he saw an unloading motion of an object," she said.
The magistrate said CCTV evidence from inside the apartment building showing Gittany dragging Harnum back inside their unit, and accounts from neighbours who heard screams also contributed to her decision.
She said some evidence pointed to Gittany's innocence, including the fact he had told police about the existence of CCTV footage.
Gittany, who appeared in court wearing a dark suit and with many supporters, maintained his plea of not guilty and reserved his defence.
He will be formally arraigned in the NSW Supreme Court on February 1.

Strong finish gives USF men's golf Big East title
For the second year in a row, USF has taken home a Big East golf championship, with the Bulls' men's team coming through with a clutch finish to take the team title at Reunion in Kissimmee, following the women's team's championship last year.
USF freshman Chase Koepka finished second individually, one stroke behind Cincinnati's David Tepe for medalist honors. He shot a 3-under 69 on Tuesday, finishing a consistent tournament that saw him shoot 70s in the first two rounds. The Bulls found themselves in a tight pack on the back nine with four teams within three strokes of the lead, but played impeccably in the final nine holes, with four of the five golers playing bogey-free on the back nine, combining for 8-under golf to close out the win. USF finished with a four-stroke win over St. John's to earn the Big East's automatic bid to the NCAA regionals.
"These guys stepped up like I have never seen a team step up in my life," said third-year coach Chris Malloy. "It was not an easy stretch of holes, and they just made birdie after birdie and clutch par after clutch par." …Full Story

This morning's personal income report was a shocker. It showed the highest increase in personal income in eight years. This is great news, but if you look deeper into the report, you'll see that most of the gain in personal income was due to a humongous, 16.7% ($123 billion) increase in dividend income. That means investors who owned stocks saw their incomes surge enormously compared with people who didn't. Just by comparison, the gain in private wages was a mere 1.1%.
We know that the fourth-quarter dividend surge was largely tied to companies paying out ahead of the tax increases that will go into effect this year. OK, so in some sense it was an aberration. However, looking back over the past three years, dividend income has risen faster, percentage-wise, than any other component of personal income. Dividends have shown an average growth of 4.4% annually since 2010, while private wages have increased an average of only 1.1%. And if you're wondering about interest income, that has declined 0.3%.
In other words, if you've been relying on interest income to make you rich, you're getting hosed. You can thank the Fed for that. As an aside, I find it odd that people still refer to the Fed's monetary operations as "stimulus," even though what it effectively does is strip the private sector of income.
So what's the takeaway from all this? The bottom line is that you have to own good dividend-paying stocks. That's the only way you're going to see your income rise, now and in the future. This trend is here to stay; I can say this without hesitation.
As companies seek to become more productive, there will be constant downward pressure on wages. Moreover, the sequester is about to hit, the government is about to embark on a program of austerity, and the contribution to income from government transfer payments (Social Security, Medicare, unemployment insurance) is likely to go down. On the other hand, corporate profits have been rising to record highs, and this is likely to continue, supported by favorable business policies that have to do with wages, taxation and trade. Rising profits will mean rising dividends, you can be sure.
Right now, the stock market rally seems a bit stretched. We're close to an all-time record on the Dow, and I can easily see that happening. But over the next several weeks we may get a correction, perhaps a nasty one, and if that happens, consider it a gift. It would be a prime time to dive in and scoop up some high-quality companies that pay dividends. These companies should be considered the "new gold."
In fact, they're better than gold, because they pay dividends, and like I've said many times, gold pays you nothing. It's a fool's game. No investor should be without good dividend-paying stocks for one simple reason: Our policy makers have fashioned an environment that pretty much ensures you'll see a rising stream of income for years to come.

THURROCK Council's libraries service is asking parents and carers in the borough to don superhero masks, reveal their secret powers and go with their children on a quest to find a hero-themed and free National Bookstart Week event.
National Bookstart Week is an annual celebration of Bookstart, the flagship reading programme from national charity, Booktrust.
It aims to help every child in England, Wales and Northern Ireland develop a lifelong love of reading that will give them a flying start in life (cape optional) through gifting free books to every child.
Participants attending events in Thurrock are urged to go along in superhero dress and meet the Bookstart Bear.
A special version of Harper Collins' Super Duck, by popular children's author Jez Alborough, will be a free gift for children who take part.
The lively story follows the heroic Super Duck as he strives to rescue his friend Frog from an unplanned flight on a wayward kite.
The events are on Tuesday, June 10, 10.30am at Stanford Library and 1.30pm at High House Production Park, Purfleet, on Wednesday, June 11, 10.30am at Grays Library and 1.30pp at the Thameside Nature Park, on Thursday, June 12, 10.30am and Chadwell Library and at 1.30pm at the South Ockendon Centre.
On Friday, June 13, an event will be held at Tilbury Library, starting at 10.30am.
Viv Bird, Chief Executive of the Booktrust, said: "All the research shows reading together strengthens family bonds and helps children do better at school, whatever the family's background.
"You don't have to be a great reader yourself to share a story with your children – often you just need to let the pictures carry you both along."

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
I thought the environmental unit showed great practical application of what we are teaching in class. The more ties to real life uses, the better. I would hope to try the aluminum recycling; however I am a little leary of the KOH and H2SO4 in the alum production. I will have to go online and check the concentrations used before would let my classes loose with them.
Again the lake was a great field trip but I don't know if I would be comfortable just letting my classes loose around a body of water.. not that I don't trust them, but we are liable. I was thinking that the students would get as much out of testing samples brought from their neighborhood, and certainly private well water users should bring their water in for testing.
The brown sludge used for water purification was wonderful. The teacher had to have told the students ahead of time that it was home made because they had no problem working with it! The interview with the lab analyst told the real story and would be a valuable piece to show the students.

Ebner, McDonald, and Kemkes Selected ITA All-Scholar Athletes
SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo women's tennis team was selected as one of 32 Division II competitors to earn Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) All-Academic Team honors. Highlighting the team nod was the individual selections of Caroline Ebner, Jeanette McDonald and Laura Kemkes to the ITA All-Scholar Athletes squad.
The ITA All-Academic Team award is open to any ITA program that has a cumulative team grade point average of 3.20 or above (on a 4.00 scale). All eligible student-athletes whose names appear on the NCAA/NAIA/NJCAA/CA JUCO eligibility form and have competed in one or more varsity matches must average into the GPA for the current academic year (including fall 2010 and spring 2011).
On the individual side, three Lions earned ITA All-Scholar accolades as Ebner, McDonald and Kemkes represented the Green & Gold.
Ebner, playing out of sixth flight for the majority of the season, posted nine wins on the single side and 12 victories in doubles.
McDonald combined for 33 victories last season, including 18 on the doubles side. In singles, the senior competed out of the No.2 slot and posted a 15-8 record.
Kemkes was the Lions All-Sunshine State Conference representative as she earned honorable mention accolades. She, like McDonald, also tabulated 33 wins, including a team-best 17-4 record from third flight singles.
For each, it is their first selection to the distinct squad.
On the accomplishment, Coach James Bryce stated, "I am very happy for the ladies and their commitment to academic excellence. This was one of our goals for the year and I am particularly proud of those who made the Scholar Athlete list."
In order to earn ITA Scholar-Athlete status a player must meet the following criteria: One - be a varsity letter winner, two - have a grade point average of at least 3.50 (on a 4.00 scale) for the current academic year, and three - have been enrolled at their present school for at least 2 semesters (including freshman thorough senior year).

Investigating Intel's Turbo Memory: Does it really work?by Anand Lal Shimpi on 6/19/2007 3:39 PM EST

Alyx - Thursday, June 21, 2007 - linkIt seems readyboost only helps with subsequent reads rather than the initial read, so it makes no sense as to why it would help in the case of watching a movie because the data is never repeated. I guess it just keeps the drive from idling because its farther between reads.
I think this would help a lot for students, when I sit in class for an hour or two taking notes I'm only using one program so theoretically it would never have to access the hard drive for the whole class time. If a student had classes back to back without a way to charge (which is often the case) this technology could make a noticeable difference. Reply
BigLan - Thursday, June 21, 2007 - linkIt could help with movies if it's used as a read-ahead cache. Once the OS sees that the movie file has been read, it loads the whole of the movie into flash (or as much as would fit.)
Also, if you're working in class with just word (or onenote) open, your hard drive should be pretty inactive anyway. Once the program is loaded into ram then the drive isn't read from. If you have an autosave feature turned on then that would hit the HD, but having the file on an external flash drive would get around that anyway. Reply
xanderman - Saturday, November 07, 2009 - linkI have a 4GB Turbo Memory card installed, $65.
I think the article could use a little update to reflect on the availability of faster and larger Turbo Memory cards at lower prices, to examine their overall effectiveness in this (newer?) format and pricing.
I don't know if there was any performance boost, never did any benchmarks and all I've been doing is setting up this new computer, then install i-ram and continue customizations.
I can tell you, however, that the installation was easy, one reboot, so the article is definitely way off in regards to installation, OUTDATED and UNRELIABLE.
Glad I never beleived them n the first place and bought the card despite their opinion. Reply

burnley - Thursday, June 21, 2007 - linkWouldn't it be cool if the manufacturers could load safe drivers on something like this so when your mum gets a virus and you have to reload everything you don't have to either hunt for the driver disk, or hunt for the drivers online, just access them from an internal read-only drive?
On-board network is great unless you don't have the motherboard driver disk and a fresh boot, then that loverly external USB flash drive is a godsend. Reply

Obviously adding another GB of memory is more expensive than adding ReadyBoost, and in this case ReadyBoost can give you close to the same performance as adding the extra memory.
dditional cost of adding Turbo Memory to a notebook (expected to be at least $100 USD).
1gb of ram can be had for a lot less than $100 Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, June 21, 2007 - linkReadyBoost capable USB Flash sticks are available for something like $15 for 1GB, $24 for 2GB, or a whopping $40 for 4GB. Turbo Memory modules on the other hand are not merely a USB device that you plug in, so they currently cost more. Of course, there seems to be a healthy price premium for the technology right now....
Adding a 1GB ReadyBoost device is cheap and easy. Adding 1GB of Turbo Memory seems pointless as it will cost more than 1GB of actual RAM. However, adding 1GB of actual RAM won't improve battery life at all, and in fact it should reduce it slightly. So, you're paying $100 for slightly improved performance along with potentially better battery life. Reply
BigLan - Thursday, June 21, 2007 - linkIt seems like an extra $100 for this stuff would be better spent on an extra battery for your laptop which would double the battery life (though you have to switch them out and recharge them.) You could probably also afford a 1 gig flash drive for readyboost. Reply
casket - Wednesday, June 20, 2007 - link"If you add more memory to laptop, you use more power, emit more heat, etc"
-- Using this logic... adding ReadyBoost (which is memory) would also use more power, emit more heat, etc...
The key here is that either readyboost or memory uses less power than a spinning hard drive. I would suspect you get the same power savings with more memory as well. Reply
yyrkoon - Wednesday, June 20, 2007 - linkI dont know about anyone else, but I am starting to resent Intel using town names of the area I grew up in as a kid. You would think they could be a little more original. Reply

The only issue with WorldBench is that each test has a reboot before and after it runs, which makes the benchmark less real world since you don't normally reboot your notebook every 6 minutes; that being said, it's still worth a look.
I'd say that if it reboots every 6 minutes or so to re-run the test, it isn't worth a look and is totally useless as a notebook baterry-life benchmark as it in now ay reflects real-world usage, and all results using it should be discarded. Surely a better benchmark could be found than that. Unfortunately, removing the WorldBench results make Turbo Memory seem next to useless, which is understandable as it is likely to have been mainly the reduced HD activity when rebooting that the Turbo Memory was helping with. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, June 20, 2007 - linkAnd yet, the mocked up WorldBench 6 test shows a rather impressive 12% increase in battery life. It seems that the startup/shutdown process at the very least gets a decent benefit (in terms of battery life) from Turbo Memory. That indicates that the power savings from putting the hard drive to sleep are definitely tangible. Reply

BD2003 - Wednesday, June 20, 2007 - linkThe problem I have with the article is that in general, they are still running benchmarks that do not reflect how an actual user interacts with their laptop, and do not really reflect the benefits that turbo memory/readydrive/readyboost would have.
PCMark is supposed to give a number as to how fast your computer can run a barrage of application tests - but looping it over and over does not even come close to reflecting an actual usage pattern.
Now granted, they need a *repeatable* test to have numbers that are comparable, but that does not necessarily speak of the validity of the numbers.
For the average office laptop, you'll be running outlook, word, excel etc - the amount of data actually being loaded and saved is VERY small vs. large amounts from a benchmark, and in that very common scenario, the drive would rarely have to spin up, and the battery savings would probably be much closer to the ideal of 30 mins than what their benches showed.
I do agree with them on their final conclusion - 1gb is just not enough for more than basic office tasks. In order for this to really take off, to be able to cache an entire movie, they're going to need cache on the order of 4gb. Then I think it'll really make a difference battery/performance wise.
And they really, really need to fix the driver issues. Reply
BikeDude - Wednesday, June 20, 2007 - linkIf the movie is 4GB, a 1GB cache means (ideally) you will spin up the hard drive four times to load the next GB. I doubt you'll see much benefit from a 4GB cache in such a scenario.
That said, the test didn't do any read ahead tests. All the descriptions so far seem to say the technology caches stuff already read. I.e. if streaming a movie from the hard disk there's nothing that will suck it all into a cache... (grrrr, this reminds me that my Hauppague TV tuner streams everything to a 7MB file which it then plays back -- works fine as long as I don't hit the same drive with heavy IO) Reply
sorr - Wednesday, June 20, 2007 - linki'd just use another Gigabyte of memory i.e, 2 GB in total and hybrid drive for now, then after 2~3 years just use the SSD when it comes down in price and goes up in capacity Reply

DigitalFreak - Wednesday, June 20, 2007 - linkThey really should have dedicated the entire 1GB to ReadyDrive instead of splitting it. Reply
Nighteye2 - Tuesday, June 19, 2007 - linkI miss the test of readyboost at 2GB of memory. Does the technology still improve performance even when you have a lot of memory?
Azsen - Tuesday, June 19, 2007 - linkIt does sound like Microsoft need to rework the code for Readyboost and Turbo memory to make use of the extra flash memory more. From the benchmarks it doesn't look like it's being used to its full potential at all. They also need to rework the code so it's enabled after one reboot, not a whole lot of reboots. That's shocking.

androticus - Tuesday, June 19, 2007 - linkA technology so persnickety, complicated, and without any significant real world benefits and often just more slowdowns is a total loser!

yzkbug - Tuesday, June 19, 2007 - linkMy take is to go with a flash-based hard-drive (when prices come down). It should give all benefits that the Turbo Memory was supposed to bring: drain less power and have quick random seeks. Reply

pnyffeler - Tuesday, June 19, 2007 - linkWhile I may agree that the impact is minimal, you still have to tip your hat to Intel. Power saving in laptops is probably not going to see revolutionary changes. While 5-10% may not seem like much, it's better than not having it.
Besides, what's to say that the impact might be much larger with a larger cache. You could argue that at the extreme end, the longest the battery life could be extended to would be if there was no hard drive at all, just the flash drive. If that were true, then the max the battery life could be under this scheme is the battery life with only a flash drive. How does that compare to these numbers?
And finally, what gives with only 1 GB of flash? If an iPod with 8GB of flash costs $250, I'd pay that much for 8 GB in my laptop if it would make a big enough difference. Reply
TA152H - Tuesday, June 19, 2007 - linkAnand,
You're missing something quite significant on ReadyBoost. You talk about adding another gigabyte of memory like there is only a financial cost involved, but this isn't so. If you add more memory to laptop, you use more power, emit more heat, etc... If you can get similar performance for a part that uses less power (it would be interested to know how much power it does use), you extend battery life as well as save money, and don't suffer a huge performance penalty. So, it's actually quite useful. Reply

Cathedral Park
Just about any place you find on TravelOregon.com can be added to your own Oregon Roadtrippers Account. Find out how.
Get on the road with Roadtrippers
We've partnered with Roadtrippers to provide a great way to plan a trip around Oregon. So start planning your next road trip to here, there or pretty much anywhere in Oregon.
The site which now bears the name Cathedral Park is steeped in history. It is believed to be one of the 14 Lewis and Clark landing sites in the Vancouver-Portland area: William Clark and eight men camped there on April 2, 1806. This spot had been a fishing and camping site for many area Indian tribes. In 1847, the founder of St. Johns, James John, settled on the site and operated a ferry to Linnton across the Willamette River. In 1931, the St. Johns Bridge was built on the site with 400-ft towers and a main span of 1,207 feet. It is the only steel suspension bridge in Portland and is designated as an official historical landmark.
In the early 1970s, Howard Galbraith, the `honorary mayor` of unincorporated St. Johns, got tired of the junkyard state of the area under the eastern end of the bridge. He organized a drive that eventually raised $7.5 million to build a park. After eight years of community fundraising, combined with state, county and city funding, the park was dedicated at a community celebration on May 3, 1980. It got its name from a photo of the St. Johns Bridge by Al Monner that appeared on the front page of the Oregon Journal in 1968. Reference was made to its beautiful cathedral-like arches and the park found its name.

32 Beach-Ready Essentials
Much has been made of Kate Mara's girl-next-door qualities. In brief: She's a doe-eyed, freckled beauty, raised surrounded by farms in small-town Bedford, New York; a scion of Steelers/Giants royalty who actually loves the NFL. But it was one of the 30-year-old's lesser-known attributes that grabbed the attention of director David Fincher—her drive. "I admired how she managed to make ambition attractive. She just has a very winning way and great charm in the way that she couches her ambitions," says Fincher, who cast her in House of Cards, Netflix's first scripted series—and his own television directorial debut—as Zoe Barnes, a byline-hungry journalist entangled in a racy bedroom/boardroom partnership with Kevin Spacey's Machiavellian politician.
Guipure and silk dress, Valentino, price on request, at Valentino boutiques nationwide. Embellished velvet ankle boots, Valentino Garavani, $1,545.
"There is a real effort to give the women in this show something substantial," says Spacey. "They're not window dressing." Zoe might start off as "Bambi in the claws of Godzilla," as Fincher puts it, but by the end of season one, she's turned the tables and proven herself a master manipulator. (Stay tuned: Season two just began filming.)

Kelvin Cup Final.
Arms Athletic 1 Wherwell 1 aet.
Arms won 4-3 on penalties.
Arms' goalkeeper Alex Thompson won the man of the match award after his penalty save resulted in a 4-3 shootout win for his side in the Kelvin Cup Final at Winklebury last Sunday.
Wherwell's Zach Neve hit the bar from distance before midway through the half Matt Styles headed against the bar for Arms.
Matthew Pospischill broke clear on the half hour but was denied by Thompson while Wherwell keeper Craig Neve was also active at the other end with a one on one save when Styles was right through.
Wherwell took the lead just after the break with Zac Neve their scorer before two efforts from Cole Hinchcliffe and it wasn't until ten minutes from time when the equaliser came when Matt Scott drilled home and only a great save from Neve stopped Scott scoring the winner with three minutes left.
In extra-time both sides had chances, Arms' substitute Shane Kimber hitting the post and Hinchcliffe scraping the bar with a free-kick but it went to penalties and Thompson was the hero.

2. Regular: wake up early (around 5, 5:30) get to beach by sunrise, surf for about an hour and a half (better waves) and get to school by 8:30.
That leaves 2 basic choices: Longer session, mediocre waves OR shorter session but better waves.

Preterm labor is labor that begins before 37 completed weeks of pregnancy. Although the exact definitions may vary, preterm labor may include one, or more, of the following:
The incidence of preterm labor and birth is about 5 to 10 percent overall.
Many factors can contribute to preterm labor. Although the exact cause of preterm labor is unknown in many cases, one major cause is premature rupture of membranes (breaking of the amniotic sac). Other related factors include the following:
Preterm birth is the greatest problem associated with preterm labor. Although most babies are born after 37 weeks, those born preterm are at increased risks for many complications.
Premature babies are born before their bodies and organ systems have completely matured. These babies are often small, with low birthweight (less than 2,500 grams or 5.5 pounds), and they may need help breathing, eating, fighting infection, and staying warm. Very premature babies, those born before 28 weeks, are especially vulnerable. Many of their organs may not be ready for life outside the mother's uterus and may be too immature to function well.
Some of the problems premature babies may experience include:
Premature babies can have long-term health problems as well. Generally, the more premature the baby, the more serious and long lasting are the health problems.
Other problems associated with preterm labor include complications of the treatment. Medications used to treat preterm labor may have risks for the mother and fetus.
The following are the most common symptoms of preterm labor. However, each woman may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
If you notice any symptoms of preterm labor, be sure to call your physician as soon as possible.
The symptoms of preterm labor may resemble other medical conditions. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
If preterm labor is suspected, most women are evaluated in the labor and delivery area of the hospital. Usually, an electronic monitor is used to check the frequency, duration, and strength of contractions. This monitor has a transducer that is placed over your abdomen with a belt. The contractions are transmitted and recorded by the monitor. The fetal heart rate may also be monitored at this time.
Other ways of assessing preterm labor may include the following:
Specific treatment for preterm labor will be determined by your physician based on:
Treatment for preterm labor may include:
Because of the tremendous advances in the care of sick and premature babies, more and more babies are surviving despite being born early and being very small. However, prevention of early birth is the best way of promoting good health for babies.
Prenatal care is a key factor in preventing preterm births and low birthweight babies. At prenatal visits, the health of both mother and fetus can be checked. Because maternal nutrition and weight gain are linked with fetal weight gain and birthweight, eating a healthy diet and gaining weight in pregnancy are essential. Prenatal care is also important in identifying problems and lifestyles that can increase the risks for preterm labor and birth. Some ways to help prevent prematurity and to provide the best care for premature babies may include the following:

The respiration
rate is the rate at which a person breathes. It increases with fever and some
illnesses. The best time to count the respiration rate is when a person is
resting, perhaps after you take the person's pulse while your fingers are still
on the person's wrist. The person's breathing is likely to change if he or she
knows you are counting it.

I've been doing a lot of traveling lately…like a lot. In fact, I'm planning to go out of town this week. September has been a busy one, and October doesn't look to be any different. In fact, I'll be traveling to Houston next month for the Latinos in Social Media National Conference(LATISM 2012)! I can't wait!
And when I plan to attend a super important conference like that, this means I get to go shopping! You all know I love to shop. I've been to tons of conferences and each one of them are different. LATISM 2012 is one where I plan to "dress to impress."
I can't go to an event with all of these amazing and influential Latinos looking like I just rolled out of bed. This is one that will have me dressed up! It's important for me to feel good on the inside and outside.
Thank goodness I have a gift certificate for Liz Claiborne's new shop at JCPenney! It's perfect timing…and they carry plus sizes! Yay!
OK…on a side note…I'm loving the Liz Claiborne handbags and accessories too. They have it all!
Stay tuned for my next post where I'll show you two options for the conference that you'll get to vote for!!
What fall trends do you think I should look for?
jcpenney carries lovable fall styles. Go to jcpenney to shop for great brands like Liz Claiborne. With so many options, I need everyone's help to find the perfect outfit!
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of jcpenney. The opinions and text are all mine.

You are here: Home → Forum Home → Bumblebee forums → Bumblebee discussion → Thread
13 July 2012 12:58 PM
In my latest blog entry on the website, I mentioned some of the stories people have have shared with me about bumblebees. Has anyone got anything interesting to tell us? Share it here!
14 July 2012 09:24 AM #1
Hi all.
Until 3 years ago, i like most people was absolutely terrified of bees and wasps. I suppose it's because we know they can sting and automatically think that they will sting!
I would run if a bumble came near me. Then one spring day, i saw a huge bumble crawling on the ground. I watched it for a while and felt sad for it. Without thinking too much, i put my hand on the ground in front of it and it crawled onto my hand!
It was a Queen and she was cold and hungry. I held her for about 5 minutes, then put her on my buddleia bush. I went inside and made up some sugar water, which i dripped onto the buddleia leaf in front of her and out came her tongue and she lapped it up.
She stayed for about 15 minutes and then flew away. I was so amazed that i had touched a bee. Then realised she could've stung me many times if she wanted to but didn't. That encounter changed my view on bumble's and despite holding many bumble's since, i have never been stung by one.
They are just not interested in stinging. I liken bumble's to labrador's and wasps to rotweillers!!!!
Bumble's are beautiful, gentle insects and i love them dearly.

Thanks for your essay. See here for a compilation of bumble bee information - mostly cultural stuff - myths/story/ etc I have written about Humble bees: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.335264576508128.87761.318530098181576&type=3

What a lovely story alibumble! Was that the start of your love for bees? I can't remember how I felt about them when I was younger, and I first got 'into' bees when I studied them for my bachelor's degree research project - that's when I was bitten (stung?) by the bee bug, and since then I've been hooked!

Thanks Ethnobeeology - there really is so much to learn about the cultural associations with bumblebees, i am sure that I'll be using that information for future posts!

Thanks Anthony! Yes that's when i realised that although bumble's can sting, they don't want to. They are gentle insects and i am bumble addicted as a result

I first got 'into' bees when I studied them for my bachelor's degree research project - that's when I was bitten (stung?) by the bee bug, and since then I've been hooked!
My story is very similar - we studied foraging patterns in a solitary bee, Anthophora plumipes in a feeding on Cerinthe flowers in a drainage ditch in Portugal for two weeks, catching bees and marking them with opalithplatchen and then recording where they went.
That's then grown in to a general love of bumble and solitary bees - oddly I'm not so fond of honey bees, which is a bit strange but there we go.
I'd love to be able to encourage more A. plumipes in my garden - any tips from anyone?

Hi Malcolm, A. plumipes absolutely adores Lungwort, Pulmonaria. I watched the bees on my 3 Pulmonaria all spring. Loads of plumipes were on them every day! I even saw a male stalking a female through the stems and then pouncing on her several times!! It was so cute and funny..
I had never noticed these specific bees before but they were adorable and fun to watch and very fast fliers. Hope this helps.
21 July 2012 01:39 PM #8
Once you have found a way of attracting them into the garden - with Pulmonaria as suggested by alibumble, perhaps the next step is to provide good nesting sites. I have been reliably advised that most of the commercial ones using cut bamboo canes are a good basic idea but the holes in the canes are far too big. They can be expensive too. I guess that the resulting newly hatched bees next year will start foraging nearby and use the nest site again.

Thanks both!
I have seen A. plumipes on Pulmonaria, I also grow Cerinthe for them to use later in the year but I don't see them so much by then. Not sure what to do in between the two - Comfrey, maybe?
I have a feeling that A. plumipes mostly nest in mud banks, which is more than a little tricky to provide [pause for research]...
...From BWARS (http://www.bwars.com/index.php?q=bee/apidae/anthophora-plumipes):
Usually nests gregariously in vertical soil profiles, such as coastal cliffs and, inland, in sand pits, soft mortar joints and cob walls. Such sites are used annually, so that with time and erosion old cells are occasionally brought to the surface. Individual cells are pitcher-shaped, the walls and closing lid being fashioned from compacted soil which is almost certainly impregnated with a secretion from the Dufour's gland. When excavated the cells can be readily extracted from the surrounding substrate. Both sexes pass the winter newly emerged in their sealed cells. Nest construction and provisioning is described by Malyshev (1928) and Lith (1947). Müller, Krebs & Amiet (1997) illustrate both nests and their contents.

I think i read that they are not seen after end of May early June. I certainly haven't seen any since beginning of June. Missing them actually.

Great tips there from alibumble and Sparrow. That's what I would have suggested as well (especially pulmonaria). We don't get that bee up here in chilly Scotland though, so I was delighted to see it when visiting the team near Southampton! We caught males and females, they're such nice bees!
I feel the same about honeybees - they just haven't captured my imagination the same way as bumblebees and solitary bees have. Still, I do like honey!

Hi Malcolm just to let you know Plumipes like Comfrey
Loving all your stories on here
I was very similar to Alibumble, anything buzzing made me jump a mile so I started getting to know my "Fears" I really enjoy photographing Bees and other insects although I'm still very apprehensive about wasps.

I've been a bumblebee obssessive ever since we had a terrestris nest in our compost bin a few years ago. It was the 'garden event of the year' and made me think much more about the plants I was growing in the garden. They became 'our bees' and we felt both protective and honoured that the Queen had chosen our garden as a suitable home.
With the dreadful summer we had this year I'd become very concerned that the bees might suffer and go hungry…so I decided to make a bumblebee feeder (/paddling pool). I used an old plastic flower pot saucer and cut large petals out of old coloured plastic document folders, stapling them around the outside, secured the 'flower' to the top of a dowel then popped an old Chinese take-away sauce pot lid into the centre to cover the staples. I made 'nectar by boiling up equal quantities of caster sugar with rose-water. Once cool I poured it into the middle saucer…. popped it into the flower border and stepped back…convinced that I had provided a lovely nectary banquet for my visitors.
They studiously ignored it…the ants LOVED it….*sigh* but it was an interesting exercise…and I'm sure that the bees knew I meant well…

I'm sure that the bees knew I meant well…
That made me laugh!

hmph…..it's coming out when I take the annuals out in a few weeks time. I may trawl the web for a more likely substitute because I do like the idea of providing a bumblebee feeder in the garden as a suplement to the flowers…

HOUSTON - Two men stole a pickup truck from a woman and a mechanic in northeast Houston late Thursday, police said.
Houston police said the woman's pickup truck broke down and she took it to a shop in the 2700 block of Tidwell Road near Jensen Drive.
About 10 p.m., two men walked onto the property, pistol-whipped the mechanic, pushed the woman to the ground and stole the pickup truck, investigators said.
The mechanic's cellphone was inside the pickup truck, and police said they tracked the pickup truck through the "Find iPhone App" that was on that phone.
The app led officers to Autumn Lane and Weaver Road, where they said they found the white pickup riddled with bullets.
They were also able to pinpoint the iPhone, which had been thrown into a nearby field, police said.
K-9 units picked up the suspects scent on the phone and tracked it to a nearby apartment complex, but the robbers were not found.
Police said they believe the suspects may have gotten into another get away vehicle at the complex.

Fashion, I understand, is a seductive target. It's hard to resist attacking such a big, glossy, seemingly superficial industry. But please, can we stop now? Yesterday, reading yet another giant treatise (this one by Tom Sykes in the Sunday Telegraph) blaming fashion for John Galliano's descent into addiction, I wanted to rip my hair out. Come on, guys. Can we get a little perspective here?

Some random observations over a lukewarm cup of coffee (if you must know, I'm too lazy to go heat it up)…

The Rangers' loss last night wouldn't be alarming if the team hadn't already lost two of three games coming into it.
Even then, I'm not sure I see a trend. The Buffalo loss was the inevitable letdown game after a 5-0 start; the loss in Detroit can be attributable to a slow start, an unfortunate call, and a handful of defensive lapses; while last night was a case of a team dominating early, and simply not having enough to show for it.
Observers will point to the 14 shots the Rangers took that missed the net last night, as they should. The team's inability to score from close range particularly in the first period was probably the difference, and when asked about it last night, Tom Renney said he'd much rather see players hit the net and then try to pump in a rebound. As the coach likes to say, the best pass is one off the goaltender.
But let's also not forget that it's certain players' ability to pick corners that has also led to some goals of late. I'm thinking specifically of Nigel Dawes and Ryan Callahan, who both scored caught a sliver of the net in Detroit to get the Rangers back in that game. There's probably a happy medium in there, but the goalies in this league have become so proficient in covering up the net, that players have almost no room to work with — hence a lot of shots that sail high and wide.

One has to assume Renney's decision to put Patrick Rissmiller at right wing alongside Markus Naslund and Chris Drury was in part to see what Rissmiller could offer in a more prominent role — if only to then rule it out moving forward. Feel free to rule it out. Rissmiller struggled all night, and it was his inability to clear a puck in the third period that gave way to Mike Modano's game-winner.
In fairness to the player, Rissmiller has played only part of one game this season and is coming off an ankle injury, so it's not realistic to think that he can just jump back into the lineup without a hitch.
But this only reinforces the idea that the team has to do something about the glut of forwards, and quick. Not only are you carrying around extra salary, but you're also letting certain players languish on the sidelines for too long and getting diminishing returns as a result. It doesn't matter who it is –Â Rissmiller or Dan Fritsche or Petr Prucha — anyone's going to be sharper if they're seeing the ice on regularly. And it's only going to help their prospective linemates since they don't have to adjust to the tendencies of a different player on a nightly basis.

Sean Avery has said repeatedly that part of his rationale for yapping at opponents is to get himself into the game. He said as much last night about his early run-ins with Brandon Dubinsky, Stephen Valiquette, and Henrik Lundqvist.
But what's his excuse for taking on a broadcaster who has no impact on the game?

METAIRIE — Members of the New Orleans Saints' defense wish they could have been happy about what they accomplished in their most recent game against the Atlanta Falcons last Thursday night.
Actually, the Saints had a right to be downright ecstatic.
After giving up at least 400 yards in each of their first 10 games and allowing 375 in their next outing, numbers that have them mired at the bottom of the NFL's defensive rankings, they held the Falcons' powerful offense to 283 total yards.
There was no time for celebrating the big breakthrough, however, after a 23-13 loss to the Falcons further dampened their playoff hopes with four games remaining in the season.
Instead of looking at what they did, the Saints' defense looked at what they could have done even better when they got time off before beginning their preparations for Sunday's meeting with the New York Giants.
The Saints were gashed on a six-play, 80-yard touchdown drive on the Falcons' first possession of the game and eventually gave up too many points to offset a rare off-night for Drew Brees and his offense.
Saints defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo looked back on that first drive, when the Falcons ran for 71 yards on the final five plays of the possession, as the toughest thing to swallow.
"If I go back, this is just my nature, I get stuck on that first drive," Spagnuolo said. "I really wish we could have found a way to play better on the first drive, because, quite honestly, after that, we played a pretty good game defensively."
Falcons running back Michael Turner had runs of 35 and 5 yards before backup Jacquizz Rodgers had back-to-back 14-yard gains. That set up Turner for a 3-yard touchdown run and a quick 7-0 lead.
After that first drive, however, the Saints held the Falcons without a first down on five possessions and limited them to 203 yards on 51 plays over the final 56 minutes of the game.
Still, it wasn't enough to keep the Falcons from winning after they intercepted Brees five times.
"We found a way to have five three-and-outs," Spagnuolo said. "But we're a team, and if our offense is only able to generate 13 points, we have to hold them to 12. It's just how we feel defensively.
"There was a lot of good there," he added. "Hopefully, the good part will carry over into the Giants game, and we can clean up some of the things we didn't do well. That's the hope."
Saints interim coach Joe Vitt was encouraged by the performance, but he told New York reporters on a conference call that he could see an improvement over the past three games before facing the Falcons.
"For the last four weeks, we played pretty damn good defense," he said. "Last week was probably one of our best defensive performances of the year.
"Spags has done a great job of keeping this team together," Vitt said of Spagnuolo, the Giants defensive coordinator from 2007-08. "He has done a great job keeping the morale of our defense at a high level, and he's done an outstanding job of being patient teaching this defense. I think it's starting to show now."
One of the keys to stopping the Falcons' passing attack, which ranked second in the NFL before that game, was the aggressive play of cornerbacks Jabari Greer and Patrick Robinson against wide receivers Roddy White and Julio Jones.
White was held to one catch for 20 yards, while Jones had 48 yards on five receptions.
"I thought they were very aggressive, and I thought they did some really good things at the line of scrimmage," Spagnuolo said. "The aggressiveness that they played with helped us overall as a defense.
"I thought they played really well against two pretty good receivers. Those two guys (White and Jones) are pretty dynamic players, and they've come up with some pretty dynamic plays. Our guys took on the challenge."
Despite the loss, it was a vindication of sorts for the Saints' defense, which has done some positive things — particularly with goal-line stands and red-zone defense — even if their No. 32 ranking in allowing 440.5 yards per game is rather alarming.
"I don't go down that road, quite honestly, because there is still a lot of season to go," Spagnuolo said. "If you rest on your laurels, I get concerned that you're going to go backward. We're still climbing a hill."
"We allowed the yards, we didn't have things together," Greer said of their rocky start. "But I think it's unfair how we were characterized, seeing how hard these guys work and now seeing some success on our side. I'm just happy for our guys that they are getting acknowledgment for the work they're putting in."
Greer and defensive tackle Sedrick Ellis said it's nice to see players get rewarded for their efforts, but it would have been nicer if they had won.
"It's good to have gotten to the point where we're playing better on defense, but the main objective, obviously, is to win," Ellis said. "We haven't played good enough to get that done, but we are excited about the direction that the defense is going. Hopefully we can keep building on what we started."

I know Teacher Appreciation was last week, but we like to give our teachers an end of the year present. I usually don't even let my kids take the gift until the very last day of school. It's been fun brainstorming a gift this year. There is so much inspiration everywhere! I love all of the melted crayon art that pops up all over Pinterest. We wanted to do something a little more personal, so we made personalized Melted Crayon Art.
To make this, you need a flat 11×17 canvas (I got them at Michael's for something like $9.00 for a 5 pack) and a box of 64 crayons (I got both Crayola and Cra-Z-Art – I wanted to see the difference).
First, line up your crayons how you want them to be on the canvas. I was going for a rainbow color blocking look.
After they are all lined up, get your glue gun ready!
I tried to put enough hot glue on the canvas to glue down 6 or 7 at a time. Pretty easy!
I was surprised at the difference in color range between Cra-Z-Art and Crayola. I think overall they are both good crayons, but I didn't realize the colors were so different.
After they are all glued on, you need to melt the crayon. I've heard that you can do this with a blow dryer. I happen to own a heat gun which gets way hotter than a blow dryer, so I used that. I love my heat gun! I found it at Harbor Freight for around $10 and it's been worth every penny. There are so many uses (melting the end of ribbon so it won't fray, shrink wrapping, melting crayon).
The heat gun melts it so fast. It took my less than 10 minutes to melt all of the crayons. I love the pretty crayon pool at the bottom.
After the crayon cooled off and hardened, I added each of the teacher's names in vinyl on top of the crayon.
The difference in the crayon brands went way beyond color. The Crayola melted a little bit slower and thickened up sooner resulting in a more uniform look. The Cra-Z-Art has a more runny look but the colors are more vibrant. I really love them both!
These were so easy (and inexpensive) to make. I think both of my kid's teachers will love them!
P.S. Did you know that I'm on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest? I'd love to have you follow me there, too!

Tramadol is a narcotic-like pain reliever. Acetaminophen is a less potent pain reliever that increases the effects of tramadol.
Acetaminophen and tramadol is a combination medicine used to treat moderate to severe pain.
Acetaminophen and tramadol may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
You should not use this medicine if you have recently used alcohol, sedatives, tranquilizers, or other narcotic medications.
Do not take more than your recommended dose. An acetaminophen overdose can damage your liver or cause death. Call your doctor at once if you have nausea, pain in your upper stomach, itching, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, or jaundice (yellowing of your skin or eyes).
In rare cases, acetaminophen may cause a severe skin reaction. Stop taking this medicine and call your doctor right away if you have skin redness or a rash that spreads and causes blistering and peeling.
Acetaminophen and tramadol may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Never share this medication with another person, especially someone with a history of drug abuse or addiction. Keep the medication in a place where others cannot get to it.
You should not use this if you are allergic to acetaminophen (Tylenol) or tramadol (Ultram), or if you have recently used alcohol, sedatives, tranquilizers, or other narcotic medications.
Seizures have occurred in some people taking acetaminophen and tramadol. Your risk of a seizure may be higher if you have any of these conditions:
To make sure acetaminophen and tramadol is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:
It is not known whether the combination of acetaminophen and tramadol is harmful to an unborn baby. Tramadol alone may have caused serious or fatal side effects in newborns of mothers who used the medication during pregnancy or labor. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment with acetaminophen and tramadol.
Acetaminophen and tramadol can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. You should not breast-feed while using this medicine.
Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
In rare cases, acetaminophen may cause a severe skin reaction that can be fatal. This could occur even if you have taken acetaminophen in the past and had no reaction. Stop taking this medicine and call your doctor right away if you have skin redness or a rash that spreads and causes blistering and peeling. If you have this type of reaction, you should never again take any medicine that contains acetaminophen.
Stop using acetaminophen and tramadol and call your doctor at once if you have:
Common side effects may include:
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
Do not drink alcohol while you are taking acetaminophen and tramadol. Alcohol may cause a dangerous decrease in your breathing when used together with acetaminophen and tramadol. Alcohol may also increase your risk of liver damage while taking acetaminophen.
Acetaminophen and tramadol may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any other cold, allergy, pain, or sleep medication. Acetaminophen (sometimes abbreviated as APAP) is contained in many combination medicines. Taking certain products together can cause you to get too much acetaminophen which can lead to a fatal overdose. Check the label to see if a medicine contains acetaminophen or APAP.
Cold or allergy medicine, sedatives, sleeping pills, muscle relaxers, and medicine for seizures, depression or anxiety can add to sleepiness caused by tramadol. Tell your doctor if you regularly use any of these medicines, or any narcotic pain medicine.
Tell your doctor about all medicines you use, and those you start or stop using during your treatment with acetaminophen and tramadol, especially:
This list is not complete. Other drugs may interact with acetaminophen and tramadol, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Not all possible interactions are listed in this medication guide.
Follow all directions on your prescription label. Never take this medicine in larger amounts, or for longer than prescribed. An overdose can damage your liver or cause death. Tell your doctor if the medicine seems to stop working as well in relieving your pain.
Acetaminophen and tramadol may be habit forming. Never share this medicine with another person, especially someone with a history of drug abuse or addiction. Keep the medication in a place where others cannot get to it.
Acetaminophen and tramadol can be taken with or without food, but take it the same way each time.
The maximum amount of acetaminophen and tramadol is 2 tablets per dose, or 8 tablets per day. Do not take this medicine for longer than 5 days in a row.
Do not stop using acetaminophen and tramadol suddenly after long-term use, or you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Ask your doctor how to avoid withdrawal symptoms when you stop using acetaminophen and tramadol.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
Keep track of the amount of medicine used from each new bottle. Acetaminophen and tramadol is a drug of abuse and you should be aware if anyone is using your medicine improperly or without a prescription.
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. An acetaminophen and tramadol overdose can be fatal.
The first signs of an acetaminophen overdose include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, sweating, and confusion or weakness. Later symptoms may include pain in your upper stomach, dark urine, and yellowing of your skin or the whites of your eyes.
Overdose symptoms may also include shallow breathing, slow heartbeat, extreme weakness, cold or clammy skin, feeling light-headed, fainting, seizure, or coma.
Since acetaminophen and tramadol is used for pain, you are not likely to miss a dose. Skip any missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not use extra medicine to make up the missed dose.

For years I've had guilt about tossing out my compostable items. I was too lazy to take this "gardner's gold" to feed a friends chickens, local farm or… (what else do you do with compost when you don't live in a town that collects it? Please do tell). A few weeks ago I gave up the word lazy and ordered this worm composting bin from Amazon. I set it up per the included DVD instructions, laying down one sheet of newspaper and then a combination of moist cork and shredded paper. I mixed in some dirt and a few composting items then put it in a relatively cool corner outside and waited for my worms (these ones on Amazon) to arrive, which happened today!
When the worms arrived they required a drink (half cup of water into their soil) before putting them into the compost. I then laid a sheet of wet newspaper on top to seal in the moisture. They seem healthy and have acclimated quickly into their new environment. I'll report on the progress, in the meantime, please send me your tips! If you don't compost yet, perhaps you'll consider sharing the journey with me.

HOUSTON - The Houston Zoo has a new animal – a baby giraffe!
The giraffe, named Yao for former Houston Rockets star Yao Ming, was born about 7 a.m. on Monday.
"The calf weighs 62 kilos, about 139 pounds and stands 74 inches tall," Hoofed Stock Supervisor John Register said.
Yao's mother is 5-year-old Neema and his father is 6-year-old Mtembei. Neema was pregnant with Yao for 14 months.
"The calf was standing on his own a little over an hour after he was born and was nursing about 4 hours later," said Register.
With Yao's arrival, the Houston Zoo now has nine Masai giraffes – six males and three females.
The giraffe was names Yao to honor Yao Ming for his work spotlighting illegal elephant and rhinoceros poaching in Africa and the shark fin trade in Asia.
Baby Yao will make his debut at the Houston Zoo at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday.
