Margaret Atwood
Over the years, many friends have asked me, "Should I get a divorce?" A huge question that has life implications most couples don't stop to think about while emotions run high. Very high.
I was never in a place to give real-life advice, unfortunately, now I can. A while ago, I mentioned a "tsunami" in my life on this blog, but never mentioned what it was. Well, I got divorced last year. It was the reason this blog wasn't being updated, the reason I had a hard time going to work and the reason I questioned everything about life. I've waited a long time to publish anything about so I could work through everything.
While I've made peace with it in my way, it's something that you should avoid at all costs. The grass is not always greener. Your kids will suffer no matter how well you think you've worked it out, your friends will suffer, and your family will suffer. Most of all, you will suffer in ways you never thought – even if you're the one pushing for it. It is a tragedy on par with a death in the family.
Here are the things no one ever tells you about divorce:
– There are no amicable divorces. If anyone says they had an amicable divorce, they're lying. I'm not saying everyone hates each other, but disagreements are everywhere. It's the most personal thing a person can ever go through, and you will feel attacked, sad, and incredibly insecure through most of it. And that's if it doesn't go to court. If it goes to court, you'll feel hunted and realize you're in a system that little to do with right or wrong. Think of being in '78 Chevy station wagon, hitting ice and spinning out of control. It feels like it'll never stop and there's nothing you can do.
– You'll miss between 50-75% of your kid's lives. At best, as a man, you'll get 50/50 (unless your wife smokes crack and juggles chainsaws while cooking dinner). That means you're going to miss 50% of the rest of your kid's childhood, and that's the best case scenario. I lost out a trip that my kids took to Disneyland last month. Couldn't find my heart for a week. It's always in the last place you look.
– Divorce is incredibly selfish. I shouldn't need to explain this, but if you're not sure what this means just read the article by Penelope Trunk. Powerful and controversial.
– You will lose control of your kids. In its most basic explanation, when you divorce the state basically says that you can't be trusted to know what's best for your children anymore, so they'll get involved — forever. They need to know where those kids are and who they're with at all times until they're 18. This monitoring has different levels, but you're no longer in charge. If the state were Adam Carolla, it would say: "you fucked up your family so we can't trust that you won't fuck up your kids too. We're going to keep an eye on things for the next decade or so."
– Do not get lawyers involved. There is nothing scarier than the family court system. If you hire a lawyer, you dramatically increase the chance that you'll end up there at one time or another. It is hell. You'd have a better chance getting the outcome you'd like by getting drunk and playing Russian roulette. You just never know. It's unpredictable, and decisions are largely decided by emotion, unlike criminal court which tries to take right and wrong into account. If you don't believe me, read this piece on divorce in the state of Washington. It will not only scare you, but you also won't sleep tonight. However; sometimes you don't have a choice and need representation. If she lawyers up, you have to as well. Also, remember that there's a difference between getting legal advice and retaining an attorney.
– Ask yourself if you're ready to be replaced. You will be replaced by some guy your spouse chooses, and he will enter your kid's world. Even if you're not formally replaced, you'll sure feel like you are. Wait until he takes your boys fishing or buys them something you can't afford because of what the divorce costs you. The ghost of William Wallace will fill your gut, and it will take everything you have in you not to storm the castle. You will feel empty.
– You will be financially ruined. Most guys I know either claimed bankruptcy or got damn close to it after their divorce. No one tells you this, but it's true. You know those old guys greeting people at Wal-Mart in their 70's? They got divorced in their 40's (actually I made that up, but it could be true). It's a lot like remodeling your house. Whatever you think it will cost you, double it – then double it again. Oh, and it will take twice as long. Most people say it takes about three years to bounce back. Could be longer if you were the breadwinner, because, after the divorce, you'll have even greater financial responsibility.
Love is grand; divorce is a hundred grand. ~ Shinichi Suzuki
– You may not miss her, but you will miss your family. And it will be the things you don't expect: watching TV on the couch, fighting with the kids in the car, dinners that go horribly wrong and days where nothing ever happens. Instead of that, you'll be trying to reinvent your life. Most likely in a stinky apartment … with no pool.
– You HAVE to document everything. I cannot emphasize this enough — document everything you can. Your word is shit in divorce proceedings. Everything you say is looked at as a lie unless you can back it up.
– You'll get caught up in the swirl. Lawyers get a bad rap, and in some cases, it's justified. However; you hire them to protect you … from your spouse. Plain and simple. When you start listening to them, along with your family, friends and everyone else you get fired up and lose sight of what needs to happen: your kids have to be taken care of above everything else.
– Don't "burn down the house." If you think divorce is the only answer, don't lie, cheat or ruin your spouse. This will destroy any trust between you and her during the divorce. Divorce proceedings that lack trust will bring down your family and friends. It will cost tens of thousands of dollars (or hundreds of thousands), you'll lawyer up and find yourself in court. Be honest, come clean, try to see it from the other side and you might make it through without sinking the ship. And ruining your kids.
The last thing I'll mention is that couples don't work hard enough at marriage. The highs are really high, and the lows are extremely low, but most will come out the other side if they stick it out and put their family first. One thing that's easy to forget is that your marriage should always come before your kids, not after.
And what is true love? It's loving someone when they least deserve it. That's how you push through to the other side.

MOFGA presents "Meet Your Farmers and Fishermen: A Celebration of Community Supported Agriculture and Fisheries" on February 27 to March 1 at a locations throughout Maine.
These events are part celebration and part education, as local farmers, fishermen and other food producers tell community members how to enjoy local foods and support local businesses in a meaningful way.
Farms with Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs ask their CSA members to purchase a share of the coming harvest before the season begins. The benefit? Members provide the farm with much-needed capital in the off-season and later get locally grown food directly from the farmer at a fair price.
In addition to farms with CSA shares, local fishermen with Community Supported Fisheries (CSF) shares will be present in some locations.
Meet Your Farmers and Fishermen will occur in late February and early March in several Maine locations. Each location will have plenty of local flavor, whether tastings featuring local foods, sales of food and other products from local farms and businesses, local business and community center hosts, and more.
The dates, times and places of these events may change and more venues may be added; please check www.mofga.org for up-to-date information before attending. Currently, the following locations, dates and times are planned:
Augusta, ME Viles Arboretum, 153 Hospital St., Friday, February 27, 2 to 5 p.m.
Bangor, ME Sea Dog Brewing Company Banquet Hall, 26 Front St., Sunday, March 1, 3 to 6 p.m.
Belfast, ME Belfast Free Library, Abbott Room, 106 High St., Sunday, March 1, 1 to 3 p.m.
Hallowell, ME St. Matthew's Episcopal Church, 20 Union St., Sunday, March 1, 1 to 4 p.m.
Portland, ME Urban Farm Fermentory, 200 Anderson St., Saturday, February 28, 3 to 5 p.m.
No location near you? Use the Maine CSA Directory on the website of the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association, www.mofga.net, to find CSA opportunities in your area.
These free events are co-sponsored by the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA) and local organizations at each site.

Among the initiatives he will be promoting is the Get into golf campaign and Drummond said: "I've got a huge passion for golf and a background in sports development so this is a perfect match. I come from a golfing family, I enjoy everything about the sport and I want to get more people playing the game.
"It's the perfect way to keep active, make friends, enjoy being outdoors and take part in a great sport."
Drummond will be shadowing Beverly Huke, the outgoing development officer who retires from the post at the end of March.

text: Jwala Gutta BiographyBorn on the 7th of September 1983, Jwala Gutta was initially inclined to tennis but turned to badminton at the age of 6 with SM Arif being her first coach. She won her 1st title at the age of 17 at the Junior World Championships that were held in Thrissur in 2000. Jwala then won a staggering seven straight National Senior Doubles Championships in the Women's Doubles with Shruti Kurien between 2002 and 2008 and they tasted success on the international circuit as well, winning the Sri Lanka International Satellite Challenge in 2006, the Cyprus Badminton International Tournament, the Pakistan International Challenge and the Indian International Challenge in 2007, the Nepal International Series and the Dutch Open Grand Prix titles in 2008. After 7 years, Jwala decided to change partners and found a new one in Ashwini Ponnappa. The duo began their partnership on an extremely positive note, winning the Gold at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in New Delhi and then a year later became only the second after Prakash Padukone to win a medal at the World Championships, clinching the bronze at Copenhagen. However, they couldn't replicate those feats at their maiden Olympics in London in 2012, getting eliminated in the quarterfinal in controversial circumstances. The Olympics was more significant fo Jwala as she became the first Indian to qualify in two events at the Summer Games, partnering V.Diju in the Mixed Doubles. After a sabbatical, she returned to partner Ashwini in 2013 and the duo won the silver at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2014, a bronze at the Asian Games in Incheon and a year later won the Canada Grand Prix Gold. Now heading into her third Olympics, Jwala will hope to achieve her dream and become the first doubles player from the country to win the coveted Olympic medal.

for the link activity report can you hyperlink the list of links (perhaps to a new brower window).
urls are not always easily viewable and in our case we are using a CMS called Drupal where only our primary links are in a human readable form but the the rest are database issued and look like www.sometime.com/node/2847
this was a request from our marketing team who are our 'client' for these activity reports.
Nice suggestion Charles, we're currently working on an improved Link Activity Report which we hope to release in the next month or so that will keep the marketing team happy.
Wouldn't it be better to use page titles instead of the full URL?
Or have the option - I would prefer it and make for more readable reports

Discussion in 'On Topic' started by ElChupacabra, May 17, 2007.
very freakin cool. Nice gun.
pretty good!
Fun thing is, I got it NIB for $375 less than Gander Mountain wanted for it.
with the can?!
Nah, I've had the can about 3 years. Never wanted to spend the $ to get the gun. I wanted a full size til I saw the CT. It was a tough decision, but my daughter and shoot it (she's 15, gawd, I'm such an evil parent), easier to conceal, same capacity as one of my 1911's, etc.
Son of a bitch. I love you anyway, though...
Canuckia won't allow me to get a silencer/suppressor, so it's just going to be the compact tac with threaded barrel. Can't wait.
i realy like my CT aswell.
just waiting and hoping MI will allow cans soon
I don't understand the whole CT appeal. Why not a full sized tactical? Just cuz it's smaller?
That can looks heavy
Super light. Not much heavier than an empty coke can.
Gimik: it's thinner, easier to conceal, easier for my daughter to handle. Think 1911 upgraded. Same size/capacity as my Springfield Champion. If I need more than 9 shots in the house, I need something besides a pistol.
Freaking nice!
That looks awesome I've always wanted to shoot a supressed weapon.
Does your gun have the slide lock on it?
Nice gun. I have the usp c .45. I'd like to get a supressor for mine. I'm assuming I could just buy the ct barrel from HK and a supressor?
Your front sight looks too low.
both sights look too low for the supressor. doh!
That's definitely Texas grass... I miss Texas.
It does. It's on the left side of the gun.

What does a growth hacker do in general?
Although growth hacking sounds like a new and techy discovery, it has always been around in some way. To explain the expertise of growth hacking, we should describe both words separately. The term hacking describes the process of achieving an objective by discovering a hidden path, instead of following the prescribed or mainly used routes. Through the use and combination of modern day tools, hackers can achieve objectives in a innovative and fast way. The word growth means, simple as it is, increasing in size. And we are talking about increasing success in every part of the customer funnel here. So.. in short, growth hacking is looking for opportunities for businesses to grow, using unconventional and unknown tactics. Traditional marketers have been using quite a few of these tecniques already, but since a views years we can call it an stand-alone type of marketing. In the course of time growth hacking has evolved to a real field of expertise.
But what do they do?
We could say growth hacking is a type of marketing, but that's not all about it. Let's take one step back. A short definition of traditional marketing is easily given by the word: market-getting. Marketing is focused on the activities a business undertakes to upgrade their sales. On the first side, that is exactly what growth hackers aim to do. The main difference is in the way they do that.
Traditional marketeers mainly focus on Awareness and Acquisition. Growth hackers have their focus on the whole customer journey: Awareness, Acquisition, Activation, Retention, Revenue and Referral with an overarching focus on conversion. Traditional marketers think about a new marketing strategy for months, spend thousands of euros for implementing it top-down in the whole company, and then… fingers crossed and wait for results. If the results don't show up, they just create another marketing strategy. These actions are all pretty time consuming and expensive, but more important: there is no way of telling why this new strategy would be better than the last one. Growth hacking isn't about an overwhelming marketing strategies. It's all about dreaming big and setting goals. By setting up small experiments on different kind of traction channels companies are able to learn from those results and can optimize the way of work right away. Build. Measure. Learn. Repeat.
Do you know the pirate metric?
As mentioned before, where traditional marketers are mainly focused on the Awareness and Acquisition, growth hackers run the extra mile. Their field of work contains the whole journey of a (potential) customer, the (A)AARRR funnel (developed by Dave McClure), better known as the Pirate metrics. And why are they called the pirate metrics? Well, if you shout it out loud, you'll immediately visualize to be Jack Sparrow, (A)AARRR . But why do growth hackers love it this much. Well, if you would make a roadmap of a customer journey you and use all the letter within (A)AARRR (Awareness – Acquisition – Activation – Retention – Revenue – Referral). To give you a better feeling of what this means, we wrote you a small story, describing the six metrics in an everyday, offline setting.
Johnny is walking down the street and is looking at a billboard (Awareness). The salesrep from that specific store is selling him the advertised product (Acquisition). Because of the discount of 20%, Johnny is really motivated to buy (Activation). After paying, Johnny gets a voucher: he'll get a 25% discount on his next purchase (Retention)! Now Johnny is becoming a regular customer, the company is able to get to know him a little better. The advertisements will be more personalised and Johnny will spend more money than the previous times (Revenue). Now Johnny is frequently buying, happy customer. On a day he receives a friends-for-friends voucher: he invites a friend to the store and his friend get a 10% discount! Another customer is born.
In a nutshell:
Awareness: → It's all about branding
Acquisition → Make sure the potential user gets a first point of contact with your company
Activation → Make sure the user has a positive first visit
Retention → Make sure the user comes back and revisit
Revenue → Make money
Referral → Use your users network to attract new users
Build, measure, learn
Yes, growth hackers build, measure and learn. Not once in awhile, but always. In order to rapidly grow your business, testing is the only efficient way to get to know if you are on the right track. Why? Creating small experiments won't take lots of time, won't be expensive and will give you meaningful insights in your business. By running experiments you'll get a helpful understanding of the growth opportunities of your business! And even if the experiments fail, your experiments are useful: a negative outcome is knowledge as well.
Based on the pirated funnel we discussed before, you can run thousands of experiments on every imaginable element of your business. By building and running experiments you are able to get a sustainable insight. But how do you build so quickly and how do you know which experiments to run fist?
Rating! We all have some great idea's overtime, or brainstorm sessions that results into a stack of great ideas. Organising, prioritising and sprints! Yes, this is how organised growthhackers work. Prioritising your experiments by giving them a score based on: Impact (1-10) Ease (1-10) Confidence (1-10) you know which experiments to run first.
Cialdini principles
Yes, mr Cialdini, one of the more known soft data x hard data driven marketeer. Within the growth hacking principles his name is mentioned a lot of times. At Bammboo we even have a Strategizer for experiments that includes all 6 of his principles. Even though there are many different types of experiments done based on behaviour, Cialdini's principles can be included in many experiments. So what are his principles:
1. Reciprocation -> people feel indebted to those who do something for them or give them a gift.
2. Social proof -> When people are uncertain about a course of action, they tend to look to those around them to guide their decisions and actions. They especially want to know what everyone else is doing – especially their peers.
3. Commitments and Consistency-> People do not like to back out of deals. We're more likely to do something after we've agreed to it verbally or in writing, Cialdini says. People strive for consistency in their commitments. They also prefer to follow pre-existing attitudes, values and actions.
4. Liking -> "People prefer to say 'yes' to those they know and like," Cialdini says. People are also more likely to favor those who are physically attractive, similar to themselves, or who give them compliments. Even something as 'random' as having the same name as your prospects can increase your chances of making a sale.
5. Authority -> People respect authority. They want to follow the lead of real experts. Business titles, impressive clothing, and even driving an expensive, high-performing automobile are proven factors in lending credibility to any individual.
6. Scarcity -> In fundamental economic theory, scarcity relates to supply and demand. Basically, the less there is of something, the more valuable it is. The more rare and uncommon a thing, the more people want it. Familiar examples are frenzies over the latest holiday toy or urban campers waiting overnight to pounce on the latest iPhone.
Check out this article for more background info.
Growth hacking roadmap
There are many type of e-commerce businesses. But all of them could benefit from the growth hacking mentality.
It all starts with a business model canvas, mapping your mind and understanding your own product. When starting your business, you should always focus on usability, knowing what your target audience thinks of your product and how they use it. While receiving loads of feedback, you can now simultaneously work on pivoting your business. Slowly you'll work towards a strong value proposition with a high relevance for your customer that is easy and clear. Also you'll work on minimizing the anxiety and distraction of your product. Slowly you'll find out that your product is market / product fit, this is the most important step. Now you know that you can accelerate and you can ask money in return for your service. Find out who your most valuable customers are, dig deep into their behaviour, why do they have a high retention, why do they love your product, these customers could be your Ambassadors keep track of them with a NPS score. Did you find your aha-moment? This is the moment that a new users sees the beauty of your product and reaches the highest level of affection with your service, this should be defined and a ultimate task for you to keep track of why people get the aha-moment. Now start working on content and virality, get your product out there and let people know you exist!
Is your business running smoothly? We are now going to work on optimizing! Get more experiment and get better every day. Optimize your funnels -> (A)AARRR, get to know your channels and segment your audience. Understand why an specific age is converting better on a different landing page than others. Be there, online and offline, be there on every spot your target audience hangs out, brand yourself, content, video, audio, photo get is all! Be open and honest to your customers, use your social media channel as a communication tool. Optimize desktop and mobile, be always up front of new channels and idea's. When you are out there, when your brand has a High NPS score, Use other people's networks, let them share your product and get that virality.
Good luck!

We recently create a city guide to Dublin for you, where you can find everything from getting active and eating well to learning something and seeing art and design around the city. We also wrote about great day trips you can make, uploaded brochures for you to download and gave you a one day itinerary of Dublin!
Hopefully all these resources can help you create your own ideal trip to this brilliant city in Ireland.
But there is more!
Video of Dublin: Tips for 1 Day in the City!
While I didn't plan on making a video of Dublin during my stay, I have really enjoyed being active on Snapchat (add me: @thetraveltester) and was thinking of a way to use the content and make it available to you even though on the app itself you could only get access for 24 hours.
While the portrait-setting of Snapchat and the fact that it's all shot on a phone and not a proper camera isn't ideal for creating a good travel video, I've done my best to make it a bit attractive for you to watch. The sound and video quality isn't always great, but I learn as I go (will finish my words and talk more clearly INTO the microphone next time, for a start, haha) and I think the result is still pretty good for a short 2 minute clip.
In this video of Dublin, you will some of my suggestions on things to do during a one day visit to the city. If you want to read more, I suggest reading our one day in Dublin guide here on the blog!
Let me know what you think so I can improve it next time:
Thank you for liking and commenting on our video of Dublin in YouTube, that really helps us grow our channel and we'll make sure to create plenty of new videos for you this year!

Coolway knotty girl hairbrush review!
Sometimes ladies our hair can become a tangled mess especially when on a hot summer day with the music bumping loud and the windows rolled down and our hair is out the window whipping around in the wind.
Then you try to brush it out and it gets to be a tangled mess like I'm talking all over the place full of tangles.
How many of you have ever gotten a brush stuck in your hair while brushing it?
It hurts right?! Believe me I've just recently had it happen to me not long ago from a malfunction at the hairdresser and I tried to redo my hair to the way it looked before and it didn't quite work out that way thanks to the hairbrush getting caught! I mean seriously it was stuck to the side of my head I was a hot mess!
I got it out though whew!
I bet we've all had one of those brushing experiences where we just wanted to scream because it was unpleasant due to the hairbrush getting caught in our hair or even when the hairdresser is blow drying your hair and brushing at the same time and they pull on the hair so hard and your like ouch that's attached to my head like seriously relax with the brush lady!
When my hair starts growing out I tend to pull it back into a pony tail or if it's longer I twist it into a bun to keep it out of my face and eyes especially when summer time hits.
Thing is though when I do that my hair gets caught in the elastic and it hurts like crazy, between the ripping and pulling just to get it untangled is enough to make me want my hair cut ugh the agony!
Sometimes I wonder maybe it has to do with the kind of brush I use who knows.
All of my worries came to an end when I received an email from Coolway hair brush company to do a review on their knotty girl hairbrush.
Which was also good because the brush I recently just bought from the dollar store the handle broke off go figure, so I thought the timing couldn't have been better!
I seriously couldn't wait to try it out and it just arrived today!
Before I opened the package I snapped a photo of what my hair looked like from being pulled back all day long in a pony tail which was sort of well wild looking due to wind and all.

Sure, this seems like an adorable video of "kittens waking up from a nap," but the second you hear the pervert lurking behind the camera libidinously chuckling and making kissing noises, the whole thing suddenly reeks of sexploitation.
The Jews have had it bad in the past. Anne Frank is the hackneyed symbol of "Jews having it bad." Ergo, if I say something like "the misfortune of Anne Frank," what immediately comes to mind is "victimization during the Holocaust," not "victimization in posthumous Mormon baptism." But perhaps the latter should come to mind, as Anne Frank is now a nonconsensual Mormon. So, if you're a an old Jew, a young Jew, or, like, a Middle Jew, and are as worried as I am that the Grim Reaper will someday appear as a Big Love character and splash Joseph Smith's holy water on your cold, dead face, it might be advised to lay a protective ring of booze, Starbucks, and sodomy around your grave.
The National Enquirer published photos of Whitney Houston's corpse under the headline of "The Last Photo." But if we can predict anything based on the Enquirer's knack for filth and surprise, unless Whitney was buried in a vault, it seems eerily plausible that this actually won't be the last photo.
For the few of us who see klutzy romcom characters as justification for our own klutzy tendencies, here's a list of hopeless cases whose examples we'd all be better off ignoring.
Time magazine's somewhat odd new patchwork-of-Latinos cover featuring a medley of Latinos having nothing in particular in common besides looking "Latino" actually features one Latino who isn't Latino at all, but rather Chinese.
We've all been expecting it for a while, but it's finally happened: the merger between Zagat and the NYPD is now official.

Health Care Accounts May Be Difficult to Understand and Use
July 15, 2014
Is it possible that I am the only employee benefit professional who is not a fan of health care accounts? You know, flexible spending (FSA), health reimbursement (HRA) or health savings accounts (HSA)… Am I the only one who feels that there is no way to explain the tax benefits of these accounts without sounding like someone spewing gibberish? Seriously, am I the only one who thinks that these accounts require more understanding than they are worth? ¿Quizás? I love that word. It means "maybe" or "perhaps" in Spanish. (I'm trying to learn to speak the Spanish I never learned in three years of high school instruction. I am using Pimsleur and I love it.) Back to the post…
Today Versus Tomorrow
For some employee benefit managers, health care insurers, and health care industry experts, a health plan's out-of-pocket maximum (OOPM) amount is the most important cost feature of a plan. But most employees don't even know what an OOPM means. To understand OOPM they need to first understand coinsurance and survey after survey shows that most do not. Employees choose health plans and health care accounts based on what comes out of their pockets today, not over one year's time. Which is why the concept of using health care accounts don't click for many employees.
True Story. I worked with a woman who had several serious health conditions that required a lot of ongoing care throughout the year. She took multiple prescriptions and received direct care from her doctors several times a year. She was a prime example of someone who needed to participate in a flexible spending account. She was also an individual who needed to pay special attention to her health plan's out-of-pocket maximum amount before making an annual plan election. Turns out, she was an even better example of why health care accounts are a challenge for a majority of employees. These were her challenges.
- She had no savings like a significant number of Americans
- She could not afford to have a per pay period premium deduction and FSA or HSA deduction
- She had other bills to pay (rent, car loan, groceries, gas, etc.)
- She needed flexibility to negotiate what bills to pay and when
This may sound mathematically foolish to someone who has a lot more financial security, but this lady was smart and resourceful. And she knew that even though she might save a few bucks in the plan year by participating in a health care account, the arrangement did not match her reality.
Why health care accounts don't work for most employees
- They are confusing and require too much time, maintenance and tracking
- They can require large upfront outlays of cash that most employees do not have
- They may not be that effective at controlling health care costs
I am not ready to join the health care account bandwagon. I am not even all that sure they save health care consumers money. I think they are a way to transfer even more costs to employees in an opaque fashion. Are you a health care account proponent? Why?

Interesting to see Android moving to other things beyond Mobile. Love the price point.
I just played Angry Birds at 1080p on my TV and that just blew my mind. They have 1GB RAM models in stock right now for $95 at mk802shop dot com.
I just received the Chinese one and it's exactly the same after changing the language to English in Android. I gotta say I'm pretty impressed.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- The U.S. air strike on a Syrian air base has the world and national security experts talking, and it's one professor Bill Smullen says was meant to prove a point.
"I think that we had a responsibility to send a message to President (Bashar al-) Assad that you have got to stop and oh, by the way, he committed a war crime because this was an agreement he would not use of store chemical weapons, so he is in violation of an international agreement," said Smullen, director of National Security Studies at Syracuse University.
Watch the video for much more insight from Smullen on how this could lead to a shift in relations.

This way up Las Vegas supports food, clothing and basic needs services already in place serving the homeless and working poor in the Greater Las Vegas area, filling in the gaps wherever we can and helping them become a stronger force in the community.
Although we do take help directly to the homeless when needed our goal is not to compete with or replace established services, but to provide support and help strengthen them. We have many services throughout our valley with many different needs. Our goal is to help provide these services with more resources than is possible on their own and to provide our citizens with a simple and effective way to support them.
The needs of these services are immense but not insurmountable. If we all do a little we can help them become more effective and give hope and stability to those in need.

William Butler Yeats remains one of the most popular poets of the 20th century.
"The Lake Isle of Innisfree," "He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven," "Down by the Salley Gardens," "The Secret Rose": these are just a few of the poems that made William Butler Yeats an international figure. Born in Dublin in 1865, Yeats drew strength from the Irish tradition, as can be seen in this special audiobook, which presents the most important poems in the context of his life and ambitions.
His poetic urgency was fuelled by an active and varied life, as he gained his inspiration from the men and women he knew, classical sources, and contemporary politics.
Narrators Jim Norton and Denys Hawthorn make this compilation of W.B. Yeats's life and poetry a listening joy. From the lovely tenor voice that opens the audiobook to the recitation of many of the most beloved of the poet's offerings, listeners will be enthralled. As well as providing captivating interpretations of individual poems, Norton and Hawthorn deliver the prose with equal passion without ever overdramatizing. They keep the biographical aspects engrossing as they detail the events in Yeats's life that influenced his poetry. Top-notch listening for poetry lovers and those new to Yeats and the Irish tradition. 2003 Audie Award Finalist

I'm back today after a whirlwind of Christmas celebrations that I'm still reeling from. I intend on posting a little recap about our wonderful time with family, but not quite yet.
I want to share a recipe with you that we made for a Christmas party that was a HUGE hit!
Awhile back I caught a portion of the Pioneer Woman's television show on Food Network. She was making Chocolate Cookies with Toppings. Oh my heavens. They looked incredibly scrumptious. I knew I wanted to make them around Christmas so they could be enjoyed by many.
They were so wonderful! I will certainly make them again and again.
Double Chocolate Dipped Cookies
2 sticks butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
4 ounces white chocolate
4 ounces milk chocolate
pistachios, finely chopped
M&M's chopped
Andes Candies, roughly chopped
Cream the butter and powdered sugar. Add the egg and vanilla, mix to combine. Add the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix together until the dough comes together. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Roll out cookie dough and cut the cookies using a large rectangle cookie cutter. Re-roll the scraps of dough in order to use as much dough as possible.
Place the cookies onto baking sheets and bake for 7 minutes. Do not over bake. Cookies will remain the same size and shape.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on cooling racks.
Melt the white and milk chocolate in separate bowls in the microwave. Dip half of each cookie into either bowls of chocolate. Immediately sprinkle with toppings of your choice onto just the top side of the cookie so it's able to lay flat.
Allow the cookies to set on parchment paper before storing them in an airtight container or serving to your guests.

Calais immigration chief: Britain is 'magnet for illegal immigrants'
UP to 40 migrants are crossing the channel into the UK every night, according to the Calais immigration chief.
The ease with which illegal immigrants can work on the black market in Britain, coupled with the fact that migrants' family members can more easily join them, means that Britain is a magnet for illegal immigrants
Philippe Mignonet, who is also the town's deputy mayor, described Britain as "a magnet for illegal immigrants" because the migrants were allowed to stay in the UK.
Mr Mignonet called for border controls to be transferred from Calais to Dover as immigration was fundamentally a "British problem".
His comments come days after MPs blamed the Border Force for failing to find "concealed illegal entrants" in lorries before they travel to Dover.
Mr Mignonet told the Daily Telegraph: "The quickest, most radical and easiest solution would be simply to shift the border from Calais to Dover and Folkestone and then the problem wouldn't be handled in France but Britain.
"The ease with which illegal immigrants can work on the black market in Britain, coupled with the fact that migrants' family members can more easily join them, means that Britain is a magnet for illegal immigrants."
French interior minister Manuel Valls last week pledged police reinforcements for Calais to deal with migrants and a centre to give them medical treatment.
He also said he had invited Home Secretary Theresa May to visit the town next year to renegotiate an agreement which led to the closure of the Sangatte refugee camp in 2002.
Under that deal, Britain pays towards the policing of migrants in Calais, with British police and border officials operating on the French side of the Channel.
Mr Valls said: "Our British friends must take more account of the burden, the weight placed on France by the Calais migrant problem."
The Public Accounts Committee last week charged the Border Agency with failing to meet eight of its 19 performance targets.
A decision to prioritise passenger checks last year meant that illegal immigrant checks on freight had been suspended, the committee said.
Committee chairwoman Margaret Hodge said: "The Border Force prioritised passenger checks on arrival at the expense of other duties and weakened the security of our borders.
"The force neglected to examine freight for illicit goods, neglected to check lorries in Calais for concealed illegal entrants, and failed to check passengers coming into Britain on private planes or boats, potentially letting billionaire gangsters off the hook.
"The morale of staff is at rock bottom, threatening the prospect of achieving the increases in productivity and flexibility of workforce which the Border Force so sorely needs."

As the West is undergoing a great social shake-up, is it possible that the children of K-selected individuals display r-selected traits?The answer is, no. K-selected parents raise hothouse flowers. They build high-trust societies so their children can flourish. When their society is breached, they withdraw. When they can't withdraw, they shut down. They will not engage in an r-selected race to the bottom with their enemies.
There is an alternative to withdrawal, but it's not considered polite to talk about it.
This keeps playing out over and over and nobody ever seems to retain any lessons from it: Byzantine extinction in the Middle East, Third World brain drain, white flight to the suburbs.
That seems to be the progressivist, Modernist mindset at work: experience can teach us nothing because this time, it's different! This time things will all work out somehow.
Simultaneously, there's this incongruent, backwards-looking strain in Progressivism. Activists seem genuinely worried that the poor will die of starvation instead of Type 2 diabetes and cardio-pulmonary disease; that blacks everywhere live in fear of white vigilantes mowing them down on the way home from the convenience store; that without legal, late-term abortion, Bible-thumping patriarchs will barter for wives and impregnate them with ten kids each.

Bin Laden Raid
May 16, 2011 by USA Post
Bin Laden Raid, The Barack Obama president's decision to order an attack on Osama bin Laden in Pakistan was a brave and bold call, U.S., said Defense Secretary Robert Gates.
"I've worked for many of these kids and this is one of the boldest calls – decisions – I think I've ever seen a president," he said during a CBS "60 Minutes" interview that aired Sunday night.
"It was a very brave call." The outgoing defense secretary, said that "real reservations" about the intelligence surrounding the raid.
"I was very concerned, frankly," he said. "My concern was the level of uncertainty about whether bin Laden was in the compound. There was no direct evidence that he was there. It was all circumstantial, but it was the best information we had since probably 2001."
U.S. officials had followed a reliable messaging box Laden for years; they believed she was living with the protection and the leader of Al Qaeda. They were sure that the messaging service in the complex lived in Pakistan, but not certain that bin Laden lived there too.
Mail and his brother were among those killed in the attack.
Gates said it was "premature" to talk about whether the death of Bin Laden could hasten the withdrawal of U.S. troops in Afghanistan, is now expected to begin in July but said he believes the U.S. is winning the top there.
"We have over the past 18 months to implement, for the first time, the resources needed to ensure that this threat does not rebuild – no longer appears – once you're gone I think we could be in one. Position in late this year that have turned the corner in Afghanistan, "he said.
Gates, the only cabinet member from the previous administration to stay in when Obama came to power, is expected to go through this year.
Former President George W. Bush nominated Gates as the nation's 22nd secretary of defense in December 2006 to replace Donald Rumsfeld, one of the architects of the Iraq war.
During the first months of his term, Gates focused on the implementation of the "surge" in Iraq, a change of strategy that is being studied before becoming secretary. He called for increasing troop levels in Iraq and focusing their efforts on Baghdad. The aim was that the Iraqi troops take the lead in military matters and allow political progress to continue to isolate the extremists.
While many on both sides of the political spectrum opposed the idea of?? 20,000 more U.S. troops in Iraq, violence fell in 2008, Gates began to supervise the withdrawal of U.S. troops in the country, an effort that continues.
"I think if we left here with his tail between his legs, and chaos would have been very bad for our military and our armed forces," he said.
However, Gates told CBS he was worried the U.S. would be "penny-wise and pound-foolish" in Iraq in the months and years ahead.
Defense Secretary also criticized the institution he leads during the lengthy interview, criticizing the Pentagon bureaucracy.
"I think the most difficult for me to deal with is leading a department that is organized for the war plan but not to wage war. And all I wanted to do to try to help men and women in the field I had to do outside the normal bureaucracy of the Pentagon … has been very frustrating, "he said.
"He ruffles a few feathers in all the institutions I have been, but I think that's part of leadership."

You've gotta love this time of year.
Yesterday, we posted an item about Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez. Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt spoke to The Kansas City Star about a few of the team's veterans and said the team is likely to keep Gonzalez.
But today is a new day. And a new story has emerged. This one saying Gonzalez still wants out.
A source close to Gonzalez told the Associated Press that the Chiefs' tight end would still like to be traded.
"If the right deal can be made, Tony very much wants the Chiefs to trade him," the person told the AP. "Tony is not demanding a trade. Tony cherishes the time he's spent with the Chiefs and he loves the way he's always been treated by the fans there. But he knows of some other teams that would be interested in him and if the right deal can be made, he wants it to be made."
"If the Chiefs can't make a deal with the right team, then Tony will be fine with that," the person said. "He is not demanding a trade. But if the right deal can be made, he very much would like to be traded."
So there you have it.
Would it surprise us later today to see Gonzalez come out and say he doesn't want to be traded? No. But then again it wouldn't really surprise us if he came out and said the opposite. Such is the nature of the NFL offseason.
Some other items of note:
** Will Plaxico Burress be on the field in 2009? Will he be in jail? Those questions have yet to be answered, but some interesting stuff from Mike Garafolo of The Newark Star-Ledger. Osi Umenyiora tells Garafolo he thinks Burress will avoid jail time and get five years probation because he doesn't have any priors. Garafolo says that's what he's been hearing also.
** Good stuff in our Eagles section today from the guys at The Inquirer and Daily News. Updates on Bills tackle Jason Peters, interesting comments from Marvin Lewis on Stacy Andrews and Jerry Jones on Tony Romo, plus a breakdown of the new rule changes.
** Andy Reid is expected to meet with reporters today during breakfast at the owners' meetings in California. Be sure to check back on philly.com for reports from Paul Domowitch and Bob Brookover.

In this study, eight commercial and three feral bumble bee (Bombus impatiens Cresson and Bombus pensylvanicus DeGeer respectively, Hymenoptera: Apidae) colonies were tested for the presence of Kodamaea ohmeri (Ascomycota: Saccharomycotina), a yeast known to attract small hive beetles (SHB) (Aethina tumida Murray, Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) to honey bee (Apis mellifera L., Hymenoptera: Apidae) colonies. Swabs of commercial bumble bee colonies and homogenates of bumble bee colony components (adults, brood, honey, pollen and wax) were plated on selective media. The resulting yeast isolates were compared to K. ohmeri previously isolated from SHB. Yeasts were detected in all of the commercial bumble bee colony swab samples (n = 56) and a selected subsample was shown through molecular, chemical, and microbiological evidence to be K. ohmeri. For the second part of the study, feral bumble bee colonies were excavated and evaluated for the presence of any SHB life stage (none was found). Adult bees and swabs from the colonies were plated on selective media. Kodamaea ohmeri was isolated in all samples collected from the feral bumble bee colonies. The presence of K. ohmeri in commercial and feral bumble bee colonies is of concern, as SHB, which harbour K. ohmeri, are attracted to the volatiles produced by K. ohmeri growing on bee collected pollen. © 2011 IBRA.

Control strategies enforced by health agencies are a major type of practice to contain influenza outbreaks. Another type of practice is the voluntary preventive behavior of individuals, such as receiving vaccination, taking antiviral drugs, and wearing face masks. These two types of practices take effects concurrently in influenza containment, but little attention has been paid to their combined effectiveness. This article estimates this combined effectiveness using established simulation models in the urbanized area of Buffalo, NY, USA. Three control strategies are investigated, including: Targeted Antiviral Prophylaxis (TAP), workplace/school closure, community travel restriction, as well as the combination of the three. All control strategies are simulated with and without regard to individual preventive behavior, and the resulting effectiveness are compared. The simulation outcomes suggest that weaker control strategies could suffice to contain influenza epidemics, because individuals voluntarily adopt preventive behavior, rendering these weaker strategies more effective than would otherwise have been expected. The preventive behavior of individuals could save medical resources for control strategies and avoid unnecessary socio-economic interruptions. This research adds a human behavioral dimension into the simulation of control strategies and offers new insights into disease containment. Health policy makers are recommended to review current control strategies and comprehend preventive behavior patterns of local populations before making decisions on influenza containment. © 2011 Liang Mao.

In this study, we investigated the impact of ten different materials on the fall of varroa (Varroa destructor) mites from adult honey bees (Apis mellifera) in vitro. To do this, we confined ∼250 adult bees each to 144, 0.47 l glass jars, feeding them bee candy (honey / powdered sugar) ad lib. Seventy-two hours later, the bees were treated with 5 g of one of the ten materials and placed in one of two locations (in an incubator = 35°C, 70% RH, or in a dark room = 22°C, 50% RH; replicate schedule = 10 dusts and 2 controls × 6 jars / rep × 2 locations). Immediately after and 24 h after treatment application, we counted the number of mites that fell from the jar through the mesh lid when the jar was rolled for 30 s, inverted, and shaken for 30 s. Four days later, we estimated the number of bees alive in each jar and washed the bees to remove any remaining mites. With these data, we determined the mite drop efficacy of the materials and their acute impact on adult bee survivorship. In general, powdered sugar from Slovenia (82.7 ± 4.1: mean ± s.e. % mite fall), vacuum collected sugar (83.2 ± 2.8), baby powder (83.8 ± 5), and ground table sugar (69.6 ± 5.5) induced higher levels of mite fall than the other materials. Fewer bees survived four days post treatment, however, with Slovenian powdered sugar and baby powder (9.6 ± 5.6% and 3.2 ± 1.2% survival, respectively) than bees treated with any other material (survival range from 67.1 - 95.5%). We also include a discussion of the particle size of each material and how it may affect material efficacy. © 2011 IBRA.

2. Eat homemade pierogi
3. Blog (hahaha, no) - really, my answer is have a Dole pineapple whip
4. Go to our work cookout in Gloucester (I work at it - I'm not relaxing.)
5. Go to the big annual conference for my day job
6. Plan our annual vacation - I can make that more exciting than the vacation itself
7. Have at least one holiday unspoiled by poorly behaving relatives
8. Watch the Tour de France (on TV)
9. Celebrate my daughter's birthday (My son always manages to make his birthday a multi day event so he can't be on this list.)
10. Remember the anniversary of our first date (Somehow, this is more magical that our wedding day which, truth be told, was a bit of a disaster.)
I've been having a kind of busy life. We did get a new dog, which I will have to blog about. I didn't blog about him when we got him because the other dog didn't really like the new dog so very much. And I cannot say I blame him, as when your first contact with a very boisterous half St. Bernard, half Labrador Retriever is him jumping on you and grabbing you by the throat, you might not feel all warm and fuzzy about him. However, the dogs finally decided they love each other very much and they expressed this feeling of fraternity by nonstop wrestling. Wrestling so hard that they broke furniture wrestling. Wrestling so hard that I started to think maybe it was better when they weren't the best of friends.
There was a downside to the dogs getting along so well. During their wrestling, Pepsi got an aural hematoma. What that means is that the inside of his ear ripped, creating a pocket that filled with blood. On July 2nd. The vet drained his ear on the third, then it was the 4th of July. But the good vet was performing surgery on the morning of July 5th, so awesome. Basically, she opened up his ear, cleaned it out, then stitched the skin and the cartilage back together so it looked kind of like a mattress. See what I mean?
That's after the swelling went down, after and infection was cleaned up, and after he got a new cone. That poor dog had to wear the cone of shame for almost a month. The problem is, we were going on vacation and the dogs were going to the kennel and I had booked them in the same run together so they wouldn't get lonely. But neither of them respected the cone (Pepsi in fact used it as a battering ram.) so they needed to be separated. I called the kennel to see if there was another run available so they could be separated, because of course there would be open runs on a week's notice during July at a place that has a waiting list usually. No runs available. However, maybe because they are nice or maybe because I have been using them for 17 years, they found a spot so vacation could happen.
Mind you, when it got the surgery bill on July 5th, I would have cancelled the vacation if it had been an option. Let's just say it was four figures. Fortunately, when I brought the dog back when his incision got infected, they cleaned him up and gave him the new e-collar for free and told me to bring him back whenever I liked to have his surgery site cleaned. We didn't need to do that. His next trip was his two week checkup, and El Esposo took him. They also did a culture of the gunk in his ear (because he had an ear infection when we brought him in for the aural hematoma) and charged El Esposo for the lab work. When I brought the pup back on August 1st to have his stitches out, El Esposo didn't want to go. He is under the impression that the vet's office charges him for things that they will do for free for me. The stitch removal was free. And the vet told me to keep the cone of shame in case the dog needed it again. I said okay, but I think I can spring for a new one should one be needed. The old one is bent and creased. Maybe I should keep it, though, as I have other stuff to spend my money on besides vet bills.
My laptop died right before we left on vacation. Yup, excellent timing, what with the giant vet bill and all. So I've been living a somewhat lower tech life. Don't worry, I'm not asking for donations and I'm not going to try crowd funding my bad luck. I'm just saying that I'm managing to get this blog done without the aid of a computer. Also, a branch from a big tree fell on my back porch as I was typing this, scaring the crap out of me (cardiovascular system working just fine, thanks), but that's a topic for another day.

Ryan Patterson A Deaf Teen At Burger King Trying To Order
January 24, 2012 by staff
Ryan Patterson A Deaf Teen At Burger King Trying To Order, When Ryan Patterson was about 2 years old, he sat on Santa's lap and asked for an 8-foot extension cord. Now a teenager, Patterson is winning top honors for his electronic inventions, as well as more than $300,000 in scholarships. You could say some people are just wired for success.
His latest project gives the phrase "talk to the hand" a whole new meaning. He invented a digital glove that translates sign language into text, allowing those who sign to converse with those who do not.
"I thought that people who need interpreters couldn't be very independent, so I thought an electronic translator would give them more freedom," says Patterson, who got the idea when he saw a deaf teen trying to order a meal at Burger King. Patterson decided to find a solution and entered the final product in the Siemens Westinghouse Science & Technology Competition. He won the top prize, a $100,000 scholarship.
To make his invention, Patterson equipped a golf glove with a tiny circuit board and 10 sensors. The digital signals from the sensors are processed by a microprocessor and transmitted wirelessly to the receiver. The hand-held receiver, about the size of a cell phone, converts them to text on the display screen. It took the young inventor about eight months to make a working prototype. He is already working on a second version that will incorporate voice so it will "speak" when printing.
The glove, called the Sign Language Translator, has a provisional patent that is expected to be upgraded to a full patent this year. The senior at Central High School in Grand Junction, Colo., hopes to launch a small company to manufacture the glove, which also netted him $216,000 in cash and scholarship money at last year's Intel International Science and Engineering Fair.
But the 17-year-old, who plans to attend the University of Colorado-Boulder next year, is taking the attention in stride as he fits in interviews while at his programming job or dashing to an appointment. "Most of my time is taken up with schoolwork, my projects and work," he says. "I have almost no free time. I can barely keep up with my E-mail."

The new properties will be located in the business district of Dhahran, a city in the Eastern Province of the Kingdom. Located across from the famous Dhahran Mall, the Radisson Blu Residence, Dhahran will open in Q1 2017, with 92 serviced apartments with access to an all-day dining restaurant and a gym for guests. The newly built Radisson Blu Hotel, Dhahran Square, located across the road from the Residence, will open in Q1 2019 featuring 216 rooms, a business class lounge, two gyms, a swimming pool and meeting facilities.

With the signing of Radisson Blu Hotel, Dhahran Square and Radisson Blu Residence, Dhahran, we want to showcase our ambition and unique competence to bringing upper- upscale hospitality standards, particularly to the serviced apartments segment.
The three cities of Dhahran, Dammam and Al Khobar compose Greater Damman, the largest metropolitan area in Saudi Arabias Eastern Province. Dhahrans oil reserves have made it integral to the Saudi oil industry, and Aramco has its headquarters located within the city. The companys residential camp houses much of the citys sizable international population, which helps give Dhahran a cosmopolitan atmosphere that both business and leisure travelers appreciate.

help finding replacement lock
A home owner from Cranford, NJ says:
April 27, 2015
Selling my house, need to replace this lock. Face Plate is on the right, inside portion of the lock in on the left. Can not find the outside portion of this lock anywhere. Can you help? The Faceplate says Silverline on it.
Dave Sr. from SWISCO responded:
April 28, 2015
I believe the patio door handle you need is the 82-002. However, the face plate in the lower half of your photo is no longer available. You will need to reuse that part. Do the dimensions of the 82-002 match yours?
You might also want to get a pull handle for the inside like the 88-001 or the 88-009.

...as starting to plan a DLR trip too early? For those of you who live 1500+ miles away, how far in advance do you normally start to plan a trip to the park? My husband's birthday is in May, and next year we would like to go then for about 5 days, although no tentative plans have been set.
Is there such a thing..

Re: Is there such a thing..
Personally, I don't think there is such a thing as planning too early. The one thing you have to be aware of is that the refurbishment schedules and park hours won't be added to the website until much closer to the trip.
But, it can't hurt to at least look at hotels, restaurants, etc beforehand and develop a plan of attack.
NNL and I live 3000 miles away, and while we haven't planned anything yet for our next trip, we've know the next time we'll be out there is for the MC anniversary at the end of January. We've known that for a while, but can't plan anything based on details, work schedules, etc.
I hope this helps, and if you have any questions, at least you know where to ask.It's a Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah...Tip for Today!
Re: Is there such a thing..
Yeah, the only thing I'm worried about is we'll book everything super early, and a bunch of awesome rides will be down the week we go >.<

Re: Is there such a thing..
I hear ya...we live in Edmonton...you don't want to go all that way for half of a functioning park! We started planning and researching very early (a year + in advance), but didn't book airfare until about 3-5 months in advance. You may want to book a hotel room a lot earlier to ensure you get a room at the hotel of your choice.
I do hear May is lovely time to go.

Re: Is there such a thing..
Depending on what time you're going in May, some attractions might be unavailable. If you're going later in the month you should be fine, but it's possible a few major attractions could be closed earlier in preparation for summer. You never really know though until very close to the date (as they change all the time) so all you can do is plan it and hope the cards are in your favor.

I usually start planning at least 6 months out so I can more easily budget for it and pay for it in phases. I find that it's less stressfull on your budget if the room and airfare / Travel costs are paid for well before the trip actually happens. That way, all you need to worry about right before the trip is park admission and fun / food money.Mike_M

text: Amoxicillin Renal Toxicity: How Often Does It Occur?Mrvos, Rita BSN*; Pummer, Tara L. PharmD†‡; Krenzelok, Edward P. PharmD*§Pediatric Emergency Care: May 2013 - Volume 29 - Issue 5 - p 641–643 doi: 10.1097/PEC.0b013e31828e9e78 Original Articles Abstract Author Information Objectives To determine the incidence of renal symptoms associated with amoxicillin, a retrospective review of exposures to amoxicillin in children younger than 6 years as reported to the National Poison Data System was done. Methods All ingestions of amoxicillin without coingestants in humans younger than 6 years reported to the National Poison Data System from 2004 through 2008 were analyzed. Data included age, sex, management site, outcome, symptoms, amount ingested, certainty of amount, chronicity, weight, and therapy. The study was approved by the institutional review board. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize the data. Results A total of 14,717 cases were identified. Related renal symptoms occurred in 5 patients (0.03%). In 1687 patients (9.6%), the total amount (in milligrams) was documented, and the median amount ingested was 1000 mg. In patients with a known amount (in milligrams) along with the child's weight (n = 1356), the median amount was 82.6 mg/kg. In this group, 213 ingested greater than 250 mg/kg (range, 251.4–1531.1 mg/kg; median, 366.5 mg/kg). Treatment sites for this group included the following: treated in the home, 129 (60.6%); treated and released from an health care facility, 63 (29.6%); treated while admitted, 2 (0.9%); refused a referral, 7 (3.3%); lost to follow-up, 9 (4.2%); and managed at other sites, 3 (1.4%). Within this group, 94 patients (44.1%) were followed up to a definitive outcome: 77 (81.9%) had no effect, 15 (16.0%) had minor symptoms, and 2 (2.1%) had moderate symptoms. Conclusions Although renal toxicity may occur with amoxicillin ingestions, it is rare and does not seem to be dose related.
