Shopping in Tallahassee - 5 Shopping Hot Spots in Tallahassee, FL
By Ginevra Adamoli
If you're in Tallahassee for a weekend and want to shop -- or even if you've been living in the capital city for a time -- here's a list of must-see shopping spots.
Good Finds
Antique and vintage furniture, accessories
3100 S, Adams St., 32301
(850) 402-3100
Website: www.goodfindstallahassee.com
Good Finds is a two-story brick house packed with charm. Each floor is divided into unique spaces from which vendors sell their antique and vintage furniture, accessories, clothes, and kitchen glassware. It's a great place to get lost for an hour or more, checking each single shelf or box. I decorated my entire guest room with pieces from Good Finds and I always go back to check out their new arrivals.
Audience: Anyone who likes the mystery of used and vintage items.
Tip: If you really like something, try to bargain down the price.
The Outpost
Garden center, gift shop
777 E. Miccosukee Rd., 32308
(850) 926-8335
Website: https://www.facebook.com/PurpleMartinOUTPOST
The Outpost is a hidden gem on Miccosukee. More than a garden center, the place has water fountains, seasonal plants, and home décor accessories. Inside the tiny home, it's all sensory appeal -- from the miniature garden to the seasonal smells of special candles, blankets and vases. I particularly enjoy their selection of herbs.
Audience: Everyone who likes specialty home décor items for the garden
Tip: Shop there and then head to Joe Mama's for a delicious authentic Italian pizza and special brewery beer.
Modern clothes and accessories
1817 Thomasville Rd., 32303
(850) 545-1447
Website: www.fabrikstyle.com
Fab'rik, in the same plaza with Whole Foods Market, is modern and hip. The clothes, trendy and fabulous, are for young college students or professional young women. All items are under $100, including accessories and shoes. Don't expect to find the same items every week; they refresh their inventory quite often.
Audience: Young women.
Tip: If you see something, buy it. They keep only a few of each item in stock.
Cole Couture
Boutique clothes and accessories
1240 Thomasville Rd., 32303
(850) 553-3327
Website: www.colecouture.com
This boutique in Midtown, right below the Wine Loft, has a reputation for quality designer clothes with a fresh look. Items range from jeans to evening dresses and from everyday sweaters to T-shirts. You definitely won't find these clothes anywhere else; they're custom-selected by the shop owner. If you want to be the "it girl," dresses start at $50 depending on style and designer.
Audience: Young and adult women, married or single.
Tip: The jeans selection is amazing. Also check their accessories section. End up your shopping trip with a glass of wine at the Wine Loft.
Trending Now
Women's clothing
1005 W. Pensacola St., 32304
(850) 765-8807
Website: www.facebook.com/TrendingNowShop
This is the new spot for college students who want to find affordable vintage and new clothing items and accessories with an attitude. It's located in College Town, so you can drop by Madison Social for brunch on a Saturday and then indulge in some therapy shopping. Paid parking is on the street. Also check out nearby Urban Outfitters, which serves coffee.
Audience: College women
Tip: Expect crowds of college students, especially during football season.

The Use of Forest Resources versus Economic Growth in Brazil: is possible to reach a balance?
This article analyzes how forest resources have been used in Brazil since 1930, in an attempt to prove two hypotheses. The first hypothesis is that the destruction of our forests and the unsustainable use of the remaining forests have always been linked to the developmental policies adopted in the country. These policies, in their turn, have been based on the main economic models in vogue at the time. The second hypothesis is that, even recognizing the ineffectiveness of only adopting policies to regulate and control deforestation, policy-makers have only broadened and sophisticated this type of policy over time (through the forest legislation), without creating meaningful economic incentives to preserve and conserve forest resources. To prove these hypotheses, this article contains a discussion of the importance of forests to a nation and emphasizes that Brazil is destroying them on a large scale in different intensities among the Brazilian states. The latter has taken place despite the deforestation cannot be justified by the need of new farming land in most of Brazilian states. Finally, the article discusses some policies that allow the rational use of forest resources in Brazil without hindering the growth of other economic activities and considering the Brazilian states differences.

I let the cubes dry out on a cookie sheet for a few hours while I ran errands. I then tossed them in a bowl with extra virgin olive oil, a tiny amount of homemade pesto, salt, pepper, and some Italian seasonings. The newly flavored bread cubes went into a 350 degree oven until they turned a nice golden brown.
Normally I don't eat croutons because they're not very good for you. If you make them yourself you can control all of the ingredients, though. Plus it's a great use for stale bread. So far we've used them in a homemade ceasar salad and in my gazpacho (I make gazpacho about once a week). They would be great in a hot soup too.
The best part is that I made these croutons for about a buck and they are just as good as the La Brea Bakery croutons that cost almost 7 bucks for a small bag.
PS. Nothing goes better with a ceasar salad than Stella Artois.

Complaint Review: Amazing Pool Repairs

Amazing Pool Repairs Daniel Ward RUBBISH CRACK REPAIR & SUB-STANDARD RESURFACING PROCESS Fort Worth, Texas
"We Are A Full Remodel Company With Over 25 Yr. Experience In The Swimming Pool Industry". GOT CRACKS ? We are a crack repair specialist with a 10 yr warranty on all crack repairs".
This was just what I was looking for. A company who could repair a 20' long crack that spidered across the bottom of my pool. Daniel Ward provided his free estimate and we agreed a price of $5400. They had a "very special process" that they used to repair cracks. They would empty and dry the pool, then fibreglass the cracks, before applying a "very special" epoxy paint over the entire surface of the pool. "No need to replaster it. The paint is the secret.
He asked for and received $2500 upfront.
Like the other complainants mentioned, his 'crew' appeared to be 1 scrufy, tatooed character named John, who seemed to smoke more than he worked, and very occasionally a dimwit teenager who was semi-competent with a brush, bucket and shovel.
The entire operation took 3 weeks and for at least one of those weeks, no-one showed up. Finally after calling for days, Daniel showed up alone, with a face like thunder. The weather forecast for that day was rain in the mid-afternoon. He worked like a madman, painting on the "Magic Paint", before the weather broke. I happened to mention that his 'wokmate' had mentioned that they always applied 3 coats of the paint (5 gallons) each time and that it cost them $500 for each 5 gallon bucket. Daniels response was "Rubbish! we only apply 1 coat, and this is it!".
Once finished, he asked for the balance of his monies, and I in return asked for a copy of his warranty, a bolier plate, non-specific photcopy that had zero reference to his company.
Now, 6 months later, the paint is flaking, the cracks have reopened and the pool leaks again.
LESSON - If a flyer doesn't have a Street Address, or Company Website Address, DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH THEM !!!

Flood fears hurting tourism
Some Riverland businesses say they are suffering because high River Murray flows have scared away tourists.
Leanne Simon runs a pub at Morgan and says takings are down about 50 per cent on last year.
"I'm saying bring your families, don't be afraid, come have a look," she said.
Fleur Carthew from Renmark River Cruises believes some people are hearing of a flood watch for the River Murray and picturing recent flooding in the eastern states.
"In reality when you look at the river it just looks very full ... but there's other people who have been coming on our cruise boat who are really really interested," she said.
A number of shacks, caravan parks, camping grounds and picnic areas will be affected by flooding when river flows peak next month.

Made these pillows for a customer recently. He is doing a spare room in a vintage decor, and he provided the fabric/materials.
These are 14" stuffed pillows with a thin linen vintage cowboy print for the front, and chocolaty brown vinyl for the back and a 3" skinny brown suede fringe for the trim.
He texted me after he got them home and "placed" them and said he thought they looked great. So, I'm happy. :)…Continue

Becoming a schoolteacher is heralded as a rewarding profession but not one that often comes with a large paycheck. Starting salaries for public school teachers range from $27,000 to $48,000, according to the National Education Association. And yet, teachers who graduate with a Master in Education carry an average of $50,000 in student loan debt.
With salaries like these, it's no wonder teachers can struggle to afford their student loan payments. Thankfully, classroom teachers qualify for many debt forgiveness programs. These programs can help give teachers an extra boost to help them pay down debt while working.
These are the most important student loan forgiveness programs for teachers, which we'll review in detail in this guide.
To skip ahead to the program you're interested in, just click the links below.
- Public Service Loan Forgiveness
- Federal Teacher Loan Forgiveness
- Teacher Cancellation for Federal Perkins Loans
- TEACH Grant
- State Loan Forgiveness Programs:
- Illinois Teacher Loan Repayment Program
- Montana Quality Educator Loan Assistance Program
- North Dakota Teacher Shortage Loan Forgiveness Program
- Arkansas State Teachers Education Program
- Teach for Texas Loan Repayment Assistance Program
- West Virginia Underwood-Smith Teacher Scholarship Loan Assistance Program
- Maryland Janet L. Hoffman Loan Assistance Repayment Program
- New York City Teach NYC
Public Service Loan Forgiveness
Public Service Loan Forgiveness forgives Direct student loans for teachers. Public sector employees who make payments for 10 years qualify for debt forgiveness.
How do loans become eligible?
Teachers at nonprofit schools are eligible for Public Service Loan Forgiveness. This includes public and private nonprofit schools. To qualify, teachers must make 120 on-time payments while working full time in a public service role.
The 120 payments do not have to be consecutive. However, you must pay the full amount listed on your bill. Additionally, your loans must be in good standing when you make the payment.
How much of my loan will be forgiven?
After 120 payments, the government will cancel 100% of the remaining balance and interest on your Direct Federal Loans. Direct Federal Loans include:
- Direct Subsidized Loans
- Direct Unsubsidized Loans
- Direct PLUS Loans — for parents and graduate or professional students
- Direct Consolidation Loans
Some federal loans are excluded from forgiveness. These include:
- Subsidized Federal Stafford Loans
- Unsubsidized Federal Stafford Loans
- Federal PLUS Loans — for parents and graduate or professional students
- Federal Consolidation Loans (excluding joint spousal consolidation loans)
- Federal Perkins Loans
However, you may refinance the excluded loans into a direct consolidation loan. The full balance of the direct consolidation loan becomes eligible for forgiveness.
Can I take advantage while I'm on a payment plan?
You qualify for loan forgiveness as long as you are on a qualified repayment option. That means that you must make standard payments or the payments required by an income-based repayment plan.
Payments only count toward forgiveness if your loan is in active status. Payments made while loans are in the six-month grace period, deferment, forbearance, or default do not count toward forgiveness.
Is forgiveness taxable?
Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) is completely tax-free. You will not see an increased tax bill the year your loans are forgiven.
Any fine print?
Even if you qualify for loan forgiveness, the government will not automatically discharge your loans. You need to submit the PSLF application to receive loan forgiveness.
The applications for loan forgiveness are not yet available. The U.S. Department of Education will make them available before October 2017.
The Department of Education encourages participants to submit an employment certification form to FedLoan Servicing. This will help ensure that you're on the right track for loan forgiveness.
Tips and tricks
Consider refinancing PLUS, Stafford, and Perkins loans into a direct consolidation loan. If you take this route, the entire consolidation loan will be forgiven. PSLF works best in conjunction with an income-based repayment plan. These plans lower your monthly payments. Since you will qualify for loan forgiveness, this means more money in your pocket. Just remember, you must keep your loans in good standing to qualify for forgiveness.
Federal Teacher Loan Forgiveness
The Federal Teacher Loan Forgiveness program encourages teachers to work in the neediest areas of the country. Teachers who qualify can have up to $17,500 in federal loans forgiven after five years.
How do loans become eligible?
Teachers must complete five consecutive years of teaching at a low-income (Title I) school. If your school transitions off the list after your first year of teaching, your work in that school still counts toward forgiveness.
Your loans may not be in default at the end of your five years of teaching. The only exception includes loans that are set up in a repayment arrangement.
Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans and Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford Loans can be forgiven. Loans must have originated after October 1, 1998. This is important for anyone who hasn't paid off loans and wants to consider teaching as a second career.
How much of my loan will be forgiven?
To receive the full $17,500 in forgiveness, you must meet one of two criteria: either work as a highly qualified math or science teacher in a secondary school, or work as a qualified special education teacher for children with disabilities.
Other highly qualified teachers can have up to $5,000 of loans forgiven if they work in Title I schools.
You'll notice that all teachers must be "highly qualified." To meet the highly qualified standard, you must be licensed in the state you work, hold a bachelor's degree, and demonstrate competence in the subject(s) you teach. Do you need to check whether you're highly qualified? The U.S. Department of Education explains qualification in detail.
Can I take advantage while I'm on a payment plan?
You qualify for teacher loan forgiveness as long as you are on a qualified repayment option. These include the standard 10 year repayment plans or the payments required by an income-based repayment plan. If your loan goes into a default, a repayment arrangement works with this program.
Is forgiveness taxable?
The Federal Teacher Loan Forgiveness program forgives your loans and does not result in a taxable event.
Any fine print?
Qualified teachers must submit this application with administrative certification. Be sure you work with your school's administration in advance.
Tips and tricks
Consider teaching at a Title I school directly after graduation. The loan forgiveness may help you achieve debt freedom within five years. Consider an income-based repayment program to lower your payments while you're teaching.
Teacher Cancellation for Federal Perkins Loans
If you're a teacher who took out a Federal Perkins Loan from your school, you may qualify for loan cancellation. Teachers can cancel up to 100% of their Perkins Loans after five years.
How do loans become eligible?
The teacher cancellation program for Perkins Loans is one the most lenient programs for loan forgiveness. You will qualify to have loans forgiven if you meet any one of these three requirements:
- You work full time in a low-income (Title I) school.
- You work full time as a special education teacher.
- You work full time in a designated shortage area (such as math, science, foreign language, bilingual education, or any shortage area declared by your state).
If you work part time at multiple qualifying schools, you may qualify for loan cancellation.
Your loans may be in a grace period, deferment, or any qualified repayment plan at the time of discharge. They may not be in default.
How much of my loan will be forgiven?
Over the course of five years, 100% of your Federal Perkins Loan will be forgiven. The discharge occurs at the end of each academic year. In years 1 and 2, the government discharges 15% of the principal balance of the loan. It cancels 20% of the loan in years 3 and 4 of service. The final year, the remaining 30% of your loan will be canceled.
In most cases, the five years of service do not have to be consecutive. However, this isn't always the case. The university that issued your Perkins Loan administers the loan cancellation program. That means you need to check with your alma mater for complete details.
Can I take advantage while I'm on a payment plan?
You qualify for Perkins loan forgiveness as long as you are on a qualified repayment option. Your payment plan could be the standard 10 year repayment plans or an income-based repayment plan. If you qualify for deferment, your loans may still be eligible for cancellation.
Is forgiveness taxable?
This program forgives your loans and does not result in a taxable event.
Any fine print?
You must request the appropriate forms from the university that holds the loans. If you don't know the office that administers Perkins Loans, contact your university's financial aid office.
Tips and tricks
If your Federal Perkins Loan qualifies for deferment, take advantage of this option. Under deferment, you don't have to make any payments on the loan. At the same time, the government pays any accruing interest. Teachers who qualify for deferment can have 100% of their Perkins Loan forgiven without ever paying a dime.
TEACH Grant
The Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant isn't like other loan cancellation programs. Under the terms of the program, you accept the money during your college years. Eligible students can receive a grant of up to $4,000 per year of education. After you graduate, you agree to work as a teacher for four years in a high-need field in schools that serve low-income families.
As long as you keep your end of the bargain, you don't have to pay the money back. Otherwise, the grant transforms into a loan. If you're planning to become a teacher, this can be a great opportunity. But you need to understand the details before you accept the grant.
How do I qualify for a TEACH Grant?
To qualify for a TEACH Grant, you must enroll in a teacher education program, complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, maintain a certain GPA (usually 3.25), and agree to a work requirement.
When you accept a TEACH Grant you agree to work as a teacher in a high-need field serving low-income families. You must complete four years of full-time teaching within eight years of graduation.
What if I don't keep up my end of the bargain?
If you don't keep up your end of the bargain, the funds get converted into a Direct Unsubsidized Loan. What's worse? The interest begins accruing from the point you received the grant. That means you'll have the principal and interest to pay.
Don't take a TEACH Grant unless you plan to meet the work requirements.
Are TEACH Grants taxable?
TEACH Grants are nontaxable education grants. However, you cannot claim a tax credit for education expenses paid by the grant.
Any fine print?
In this instance, you take the money first and agree to do the work later. That means that you're taking on a risk.
You must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid form, and you must complete a training and counseling module from StudentAid.gov. Pay attention to the training; it will help you understand the risks of the TEACH Grant.
Tips and tricks
The TEACH Grant offers a great way to graduate debt free, but you must commit to follow through. Don't take the grant money unless you know that you can work as a teacher for at least four years.

Ethiopia and Eritrea running out of time warns CAFOD
Catholic aid agency CAFOD fears that Ethiopia and Eritrea could be running out of time to save millions from the effects of a severe food crisis. Today the US government's Famine Early Warning System said that food in the region could run outwithin a month. Up to 11 million people in Ethiopia and two million in Eritrea face hunger after one of the worst ever droughts. Siggy Janssen from the joint CAFOD/Trocaire office in Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa says that she was deeply worried by a recent trip to a health clinic treating malnourished babies in one of the affected regions. The clinic is in the north of Ethiopia above Mekele, an area which has been badly hit by the drought. "It was very harsh seeing the effects that the food crisis is already having in the country. I saw one two year old who only weighed two kilos after receiving food from the clinic for a month, she was smiling for the first time. "It was all the more shocking as I have an eighteen month son who weighs 13 kilos." Two kilos (4.4 lbs) would be considered underweight for a newborn baby in a developed country and Ms Janssen saw several cases of malnourished children at the clinic. "I saw many children that I assumed to be only a few months old from their size only to be told that they were three or four." In Eritrea, CAFOD partner Abba Uqbagaber has warned that his country is heading towards devastation not seen sincethe 1984/85 famine. "Right now I am fearful of seeing the same scenes that I saw 19 years ago, he warned. " Then I was helping to distribute food aid in a predominantly Muslim in Northern Ethiopia. I saw many children dying of hunger, whose parents had nothing to give them except for the food they were given by aid agencies. People would arrive barely alive at the distribution points having walked up to 20 kilometres (12.5 miles) to find food. I am afraid that Eritrea has on the verge of those depths of despair again. People coming to our clinics are physically declining fast and children are wilting in the hot weather."

Unanswered: SQL Performance down the drain
I'm a bit confused here; I'm using a procedure to move data from one table to another. The procedure is pretty straight forward: a fast_forward cursor selects the data from table1, it's values are placed in variables, which on their turn are inserted into table2. After the insert, the data from table1 is deleted.
Pretty much as:
- select field1, field2,... from table1
- insert into table1 (field1, field2, ...) values (@field1,...)
- delete from table1 where field1 = @field1
- loop
Both tables have clustered indexes on 'em which are hit 100% according to the queryplan. However, the delete brings the sqlserver down to a grinding halt (100% cpu time) moving records by the minute instead of seconds. I could easily delete those records copied afterwards, but it's some sort of a default solution of moving data. It's quite a bunch of data so I'd like to know what's causing it or where to look for.

I think that it is a locking problem, because the delete on table1 is nested inside the select with a cursor on table1.
You could try a select ... with (nolock) on the cursor select, or better yet try a set based approach instead:
First an insert
insert into table2(...)
select (...) from table1
from table1
Then a delete
delete from table1
where ........

Also, on the set based select limit your clause to top 1000 or similar. It will give the server time to breathe
First an insert
insert into table2(...)
select top 1000 (...) from table1
from table1

I tried the with nolock option which doesn't give any other result. The performance monitor barely gives results during the time of the move. As far as I have results, the number of locks/deadlocks, waittime etc. are way below average. The only thing that's up as far as I've seen is the cpu-time.
Like I said: I could do the delete after the select/insert-statements. It's just that I use the select/insert/delete order more often and I'd like to find out why this one is so horribly slow and clogs up my dev.

The term "Calvary" refers not only to the site of Christ's crucifixion as described in the Bible but also more generally to an experience of extreme mental suffering. Both meanings resonate deeply in Irish writer/director John Michael McDonagh's harrowing film. Calvary's opening scene sets the story in motion: A good priest, Father James (Brendan Gleeson), hears an anonymous confession that rapidly transforms into a threat on his life. The penitent says he will murder James on the following Sunday, not for anything the priest has done but as a symbolic response to past sins inflicted by the Catholic church. The result is a fresh take on a familiar form — a murder mystery about a murder that hasn't happened yet.
Calvary counts down the days as James makes the rounds in his small village on the western coast of Ireland. Trying to identify the murderer -in-waiting is an engaging task, and it's a device to introduce the cornucopia of confrontational cynics, misfits and miscreants that populate the town. It seems that everyone has a bone to pick with the priest or the church, which leads to all manner of philosophical discussion. It's a bleak vision of humanity relieved only occasionally by black comedy. Though a bit overwritten — it's hard to buy working-class people using words like "supercilious" in casual conversation, no matter how high-minded the exchange — the film is full of insight and never stops giving us much to think about. It's rich material for the film's powerhouse ensemble cast. Calvary is the anti-blockbuster — a harsh film that benefits by contrast with more conventional summer fare.

Ritalin (Methylphenidate or MPH) is a psycho-stimulant drug used as treatment for Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy (a sleep disorder which causes an uncontrollable need to sleep).
History of Ritalin (Methylphenidate)
Ritalin was first synthesized in 1944. After going through many changes and improvements, MPH was marketed as "Ritalin" by the Ciba Pharmaceutical Company in 1957 to treat depression, mental disorders caused by depression, chronic fatigue and narcolepsy.
The development of Ritalin was the result of an experiment using natural stimulants involving caffeine and ephedrine.
After much laboratory testing they found that it improved the subjects' focus and ease of management of tasks. Originally, it was introduced as treatment for Mohr's Syndrome, but eventually, its calming and stabilizing effects were deemed suitable for ADHD and ADD. It was also used to offset the sedating effects of other medications.
In the 1960s, Ritalin was used as an attempt to counteract the symptoms of barbiturate overdose. But it was during the 1950s that the therapeutic value of Ritalin started to gain interest. By the 1960s, interest became focused on the treatment of "hyper kinetic syndrome", which eventually came to be known as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
By the 1970s and early 1980s, the use of Ritalin to treat ADHD steadily increased in the United States. This increase reached up to a 500 percent increase during the 1990s.
United Nations reported that up to 85 percent of the world's Ritalin production and consumption was by the United States.
Ritalin (Methylphenidate) is not used alone but always as part of a complete treatment for Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Other measures may include various psychological, educational and social counseling or therapies.
If you're looking for a safer yet just as effective alternative to Ritalin then you have to try ADDTabz (the ingredients are FDA approved).
Proprietary formulas that are researched and developed by Lexium International, the leader in safer, highly effective alternatives that don't require a prescription or doctor visit.
ADDTabz: Ritalin alternatives without a doctor's prescription
and without the negative Ritalin side effects!
Ritalin Dosage (Methylphenidate)
Overall, the effects of Ritalin, both the favorable and detrimental, resemble the effects of amphetamines. Just like many other stimulant substances, the effects of Ritalin are relative to the amount of Ritalin dosage taken.
Dopamine levels (naturally produced by the brain) are low in individuals who have ADD or ADHD. What this natural brain chemical dopamine does is that it helps one concentrate and focus.
Essentially it allows the person to have better control over their own behavior.
When dopamine levels are normalized (with the use of Ritalin) one can make better decisions, becomes less distracted by outside factors and is able to better complete the task at hand.
The usual starting dose for Ritalin begins at 5 to 10 mg, one to three times a day. It is not recommended to exceed 60 mg daily.
But there are many factors that affect the ritalin dosage that a person requires. Among these factors include age, body weight, medical history and other medications currently consumed by the person.
The dose of Ritalin is individualized based on these conditions of the person taking the medication. It is usually started with a low dose and gradually increased to the dose that works best for the person.
Therefore, it is vital that this medication is taken exactly as prescribed by the doctor and not taken in smaller or larger amounts or for any longer than recommended.
When taking this medicine, it is important that the directions on the prescription label be followed. Ritalin is taken orally with a glass of water 30 to 45 minutes before meals and at regular intervals.
When taking the sustained release Ritalin tablets (Ritalin SR), the tablets should be swallowed whole without crushing or splitting the tablets to avoid too much of the drug to be released at one time.
The last dose for the day is taken at least 4 to 6 hours before going to sleep to avoid sleep disturbance.
Upon missing a dose, it should be taken as soon as possible; however, extra doses should not be taken.
ADDTabz: is safer and effective so you don't need to deal with the negative effects Ritalin has.
If an overdose is suspected a doctor or a poison control center should be contacted immediately.
Ritalin Side Effects / Methylphenidate Side Effects
Side Effects Include:
- Allergic Reactions
- Anxiety
- Bleeding
- Bruising
- Chest Pain
- High Blood Pressure
- Increase In Body Temperature
- Irregular Heartbeat
- Uncontrollable Movements
- Trouble Sleeping
- Headaches
- Stomach Upset
- Weight Loss
Loss of appetite is common, and small, frequent intake of food can help; however, if this continues, a doctor has to be informed.
This medicine may affect concentration and conceal tiredness; therefore, individuals taking this should not do anything that requires alertness such as driving, riding a bicycle and using machinery.
Because it can be abused as a stimulant or "upper" that increases alertness, attention and energy or as a weight loss drug, it should be kept in a safe place, and thrown away if unused after the expiration date.
Ritalin Warnings
This medicine should not be taken with MAOIs, atomoxetine, procarbazine, lithium and stimulant medicines like amphetamine, dextroamphetamine, dexmethylphenidate and modafinil.
It may also interact with caffeine, clonididin, warfarin and medicines for weight loss, blood pressure, seizures, depression, anxiety and psychiatric disorders. The doctor should always be informed of all substances being taken to avoid harmful interactions.
While on this medication, regular visits to the doctor should be done. A new written prescription is needed for every refill and changes in the dosage should be made only upon advice by a doctor.
Before taking this medicine, the doctor needs to be informed if the person has certain conditions such as difficulty swallowing, esophageal problems, high blood pressure, liver disease, overactive thyroid, motor tics, seizures, glaucoma, heart conditions and allergic reactions.
Medical history such as history of heart attack, blockage of the stomach or intestines and drug or alcohol abuse should also be considered. Psychological or mental disorders such as family history of suicide, Tourette's syndrome, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, depression and mania should be noted as well.
The doctor should also be informed of pregnancy and breast-feeding and medications such as monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI) like Carbex, Eldepryl, Marplan, Nardil or Parnate taken in the last 14 days.
Methylphenidate Should NOT Be Taken By People:
- Who are under age of six
- Who are allergic to methylphenidate or any ingredients in the medication
- Who are taking a MAO inhibitor such as rasagiline (Azilect), selegiline (Eldepryl, Emsan), furazolidone (Furozone), isocarboxazid (Marplan), Phenelzine (Nardil) or tranylcypromine (Parnate) within the past 14 days.To avoid any severe side effects, Ritalin should only be used after MAO inhibitor is cleared from the body
- Who have congenital heart defects or serious heart problems such as arteriosclerosis, heart failure, rhythmic heart disorder, angina or has recently suffered from a heart attack

- Who have an overactive thyroid gland
- Who have Glaucoma (increased pressure in the eye)
- Who have Pheochromocytoma (a condition that causes excess production of Epinephrine and Norepinephrine hormones)
Possible Ritalin Overdose
On the hand, high doses of Ritalin or a ritalin overdose can cause agitation, anxiety and restlessness, confusion, delirium, hallucinations and paranoia, dilation of pupils, dry mouth, repetition of movements including muscle twitching, increased blood pressure and pulse rate, vomiting, fever and sweating, seizures that are followed by coma and formication (Formication is having the sensation of bugs / worms crawling under the skin).
Ritalin for children or even adults should be taken with careful consideration to avoid the occurrence of an overdose. Besides a ritalin overdose overdose, improper intake of Ritalin can cause serious Ritalin side effects which can lead to life threatening health problems.
It is crucial to proceed with caution when planning to take this medication.

A few headlines and stories made me sit up this week. Some made headline news and some not. But they triggered my interest. Just a few short notes on some of these.
1. Outside Magazine: The Green Issue
It's apparently a good one. Treehugger told me so. And Treehugger can never be wrong when it comes to green stuff. But it made me think a bit. Outside magazine? I get it when Vanity Fair or Vogue go green. They never do green stuff other than an odd article here or there. And then they bring out a green issue to educate their readers a bit. You know, bring them up to speed with the latest in green fashion and celebs. But Outside magazine? I know I am new here so I don't know the magazine that well. Just a bit from the Jon Krakauer books I have read. But shouldn't they be green in each issue? Tell people how to enjoy the outside world and respect the outside world? Maybe not. I know – they are just trying their best to focus one issue on green only stuff. Good for them. But maybe they should bring green to the heart of what they do and integrate it into all the work they do and write about. Just an idea. But I guess a green issue is better than no issue. Or maybe not. No issue – no impact. The Green Issue – online only.
2. Africom to focus on military role
That was how the UN IRIN (Integrated Regional Information Network) reported on the briefing to Congress by General William "Kip" Ward, head of the US Command for Africa, Africom. Or more specifically, how he only talked about the humanitarian work of Africom for 15 seconds out of his almost 5 minute briefing. Now I have to be honest – I like the UN and especially IRIN. They bring me news from Africa. And the UN is full of flaws. But imagine a world without them. More wars and more injustice. But really, this is a bit much. What did they think Africom was going to do? They are a military command centre for Africa (based in Europe). A military command centre people… Doing military stuff. You know – guns and stuff. The killing bits. And handing out food and doing humanitarian work has never been a great strength of any military force. Sorry to disappoint you. Africom was always going to focus a tad more on the military stuff than the humanitarian stuff. Shocking I know. But true.
3. Obama invents a new religion
The week started off with more rumours about Obama being a Muslim. Nothing new there. It's just McCain setting some attack dogs on Obama. Of course he didn't tell them to say that – I hope. He wouldn't do something like that after it was done to him by George W would he? But he didn't do anything to stop people from spreading rumours either. No. Rove must be closer than what we thought. But then they got their next angle on Obama. He is from a radical Christian group. Yes. The Wright story. And of course Fox was quick to show the interview they had with Wright a few years ago. After mutterings of him being a Muslim didn't get that out of them earlier. But that is Fox. So is Obama a Muslim influenced by a radical Christian? WTF? How does that work? Haven't seen that since. No. Have never seen that. Maybe Obama has done something no one has ever been able to do. Become a Mustian or Christlim. You know. A guy who believes strongly that the best way to become a Muslim is through accepting Jesus as your saviour. Man, he is even better than what I thought. He really is the change he talks about. That's one hell of a change – no pun intended. If not – then please Fox & Fiends and Mac & Cheats – make up your bloody mind. Don't just throw everything and hope something will stick. At least make it somehow seem a little bit more plausible. Obama can't be both. Even you can't spin that one can you? Oh sorry – you can. I forgot. You called Florida for Bush. Making a loser a winner. But the snag – it came to bite us in the… hum… backside. We ended up with a loser in any case.
4. Bush says the economy is basically strong
From the man who brought you Mission (Un)Accomplished and years later are still in sh*t street in Baghdad and who told us about the (missing) link between Sadam and Al-Qaeda and who are still looking for the WMDs (Weapons of Missing Deconstruction) comes the latest insight of wisdom. Don't worry about the economy – everything will be just fine. What problem? Gas a problem – cut down on the beans and drive that pickup. What problem? We're just handing out the $600 so you can have a nice little break in summer. You deserve it. Take your mind off the elections and war. It is so tiring – I know. No strings attached. What recession? This economy is fundamentally sound. Sorry George W – you are fundamentally wrong. Again. Snake oil.
5. Mugabe set to lose the election
That's a good one. Mugabe set to lose the election. And the English can really win the World Cup (you make your pick of soccer, rugby or cricket). Ain't gonna happen. George W will kiss Hillary with an open mouth before Mugabe loses an election. No. Let me rephrase that. Mugabe will be President after the elections. No matter what the results. The "projection" is based on a poll done by a Zimbabwean academic. And he admitted that people are too afraid to say who they will vote for. And it helps that the chief of the army and the chief of the police both said that they will not allow any "puppets" to take control in Zimbabwe. And the head of prison services chipped in some support as well. Read… no one but Mugabe will lead. And they know what is waiting for them if Mugabe stays in power. He just passed a law to allow him to nationalise any company in Zimbabwe. And give it to anyone he wishes to give it to. White owned companies only. Yes. Racism goes both ways in Zimbabwe. Oh, I almost forgot to add. Mugabe also gave public servants a big fat raise. That might help. Especially because the price of everything just doubled overnight. I am not joking. Just follow this link here. Sorry buddy. Old crazy uncle Bob will be there after the election. Come hell or high water. In this case. Hell is there already.
That's my views on some of the weekly news. Not much. But then news never really is when you're watching, but not seeing.

14 California hospitals penalized for patient safety compliance violations
Dive Brief:
- Earlier this month, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) disclosed it has penalized 14 hospitals in the state for failures to comply with licensing requirements. These violations either caused or were likely to cause serious injury, or worse, to patients.
- Hospitals in Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego and Santa Barbara counties were fined amounts ranging from $28,500 to $100,000 each for failing to follow relevant policies and procedures. The disclosed fines totaled $913,550.
- Nearly half of the hospitals have received at least two "immediate jeopardy" administrative penalties prior to this.
Dive Insight:
The adoption of EHRs may be helping to improve safety, but human errors continue to plague healthcare interactions.
The California hospitals' violations often led to dramatic patient events, Becker's Hospital Review reported. For example, a pregnant patient received the wrong medication and had to have an emergency cesarean section, patient mishandling led to suicide attempts, foreign objects were left in patients after surgery, a failure to provide oxygen and cardiac monitoring led to a patient with chest pain who died.
Unfortunately, these hospitals are hardly alone. Leapfrog, in its 2016 Hospital Safety Grade Program, gave approximately 43 percent of 2,633 hospitals a grade of C or lower. The ECRI Institute recently reported that providers often misidentify patients during such processes as registration and electronic data entry, as well as during actual diagnostic and care procedures.
The ECRI Institute maintains that most patient errors can be prevented. But the proportion of the hospitals investigated by the CDPH that have received multiple penalties suggests that many facilities have serious, persistent patient safety problems. For example, of the 14 hospitals fined by the CDPH, Scripps Mercy Hospital in San Diego received its fifth immediate jeopardy administrative penalty and a $100,000 fine.

I am super happy right now! I got Zombies Run! Pro for Valentine's Day!
Even better Zombies Run! has released their 2015 virtual race (for a limited time) so that it can be run as a 5k or 10k for free. Refer to picture above for my reaction. I can't wait to run it and see what it was like. I've been on the fence about entering the 2016 one that takes place the end of March. I really like the shirt and finisher medal, but $55.00 plus shipping from the UK is a bit steep. On the other hand I really kinda want it. Sigh. I guess I'll give 2015 a try and make my decision after that.
I also decide to do the Love to Run 2.14 mile virtual run from Gone For a Run. While I didn't manage to get the swag, I'm still going to run the 2.14 miles. The site actually encourages folks who miss the registration to still run and post about it.
