Unanswered: Informix migration
I need to migrate Informix database version 5 from a HP Alphaserver running on Tru64 Unix to a new machine.
The db size is around 1.5TB. There is no DBA tool installed and there is no more disk space on the server to store any export file.
I have done a disk imgae copy using the dd command. This supposedly copies all the data, but after importing to the new server, I discovered some data are "missing". The table is copied, no doubt, but the data is incomplete (lesser than the source). Why is this so?
I need an expert to help to resolve this issue.
I am willing to pay for the service.
Please help.

Hello Ikh,
That Informix version is really old
I suppose you are talking about Informix OnLine 5.x, which is unsupported version for a long time. You maybe want to migrate to IDS 11.5x or upper version. If it so, please look into this link, maybe it would help You:
However you will need to use a basic command line utilities that comes with that version and be a little patient because that is a lot of data to migrate.
You didn't specify if the data is stored on disk using a RAW device or a cooked files. Suppose as you tried to use a dd command the data was on file-system, but with that amount of data and usually that isn't advised on that version, only @IDS 11.10 using DIRECT_IO on OS supported, so I don't know...
As you experienced the dd OS command is nice to copy a simple structure files, but it doesn't work as it was expected in this case.
I hope it helps.

Hi lkh,
maybe you could specify to which version on which platform you want to migrate to.
Or do you want to keep version and OS the same, just migrate to another machine?
In the latter case, dd should work, but the layout / links on the target machine need to be identical.
If not (version and OS changed), dd is not a supported migration method and would not work as the internal Informix structure changed considerably in the meantime - an intermediate upgrade via version 7 would be needed, as in Luis' link.
So it would be best to find a harddrive on which to dbexport the database(s) to and dbimport
them to the new system using the same environment. Problem is, dbex-/importing 1,5 TB would take a long time (days, probably) as all the data is ex-/imported consecutively.
You could try using HPL or external tables to speed things up, though, but this requires an update
to a newer version.

Forget about HPL, it has been introduced in 7.X as far as I remember.
dd is supported in NO WAY if the target version is different and the target hardware is different: we need more details on the target machine and the version you want to install in it.
Remaining in version 5 is definitaly not a good idea. You are totally out of support, which is never good for a production environment.
Go to version 12.10, you will love it.
Now for the migration itself, several paths are possible, as mentioned above:
1) intermediate to 7.31, then you could even imagine a INSERT INTO dbname:tablename@target_instance SELECT * FROM sourcetable ( crazy but it should work if both dbs are in no log)
2) set a shared filesystem between both machines, unload to it from source db and load from it into taget db
I have tools that should work for solution #2 ( i should test them with onlien 5.0 but should work). The host system must have perl as a requirement.
What is you time schedule and where are you based ?

I hope I get it right this time. and Maya's sent me the picture where I did my regular makeup and had a wig. (the one I was talking about the other day) I'll sent it to you on facebook :)

Spot Reduction. Why do we store fat in certain stubborn places?
We once believed that you could not spot reduce body fat.
People thought that if you had fat on your legs or muffin top, that you could not choose where it could be lost from. The good news is; spot reduction is possible with simple dietary tweaks and nutritional support.
At Be-Fit, we have been industry leaders in a service called Bio-signature and Bio-print since 2006. We help clients to spot reduce body fat every day!
In a Bio-signature consultation, we take body fat sites and work out your priority fat stores.
For some people, genetic fat stores are the issue. You may hold fat in similar areas to family members.
However, recent studies in the field of Epigenentics, have shown us that genes are not the sole factor to health. We also have to look at environment, lifestyle, diet etc and how that affects the genes!
So what causes the stubborn fat?
For many clients, this can be diet related. We can store fat in certain areas because of what goes in our mouths.
The waist line and even upper back, can be indicators of starchy carbohydrate overload. (Carbs are those dreaded yummy things such as bread, pasta, rice and potatoes)
However, we can also store fat because of a lack of good carbs such as vegetables and fibre!
The microbiome (gut environment) has a direct correlation to fat stores. If you have an imbalance between 'good' and 'bad' bacteria, then you may crave sweeter foods and have slower gut transit. Studies have shown, that obese patients have different gut bacteria to their leaner counterparts! Microbiome disturbance can show up as the fat stores on the lower back, muffin top, thighs and abdominals.
Body Fat stores can also give us an indication into an internal stress.
It was once thought that 'cortisol' (a stress hormone) was the main culprit for abdominal fat stores. We blamed sugar, sleep and alcohol. Now the focus has shifted and we have been forced to look at other factors that may cause the rise in cortisol. It can be hormonal imbalance, toxicity or even too much cardio-vascular exercise! It is our job to identify lifestyle and nutritional factors, that may be affecting this fat store.
As cave people, we produced adrenaline in stressful situations such as being chased by a tiger. When the body is in fight or flight mode, the sex hormones (testosterone, estrogen)are suppressed, as reproduction is not the priority. These days, we still produce adrenaline, however we produce 'cortisol', a low grade adrenaline, more frequently. Deadlines, time scales, school runs, relationship stress, poor sleep, poor diet, nutrient deficiency, etc, can all affect cortisol output.
Not only can this increase fat, but it can also stress the adrenal glands and decrease sex hormone optimization. For optimal fat loss, we need the sex hormones to function properly. Sex hormones can be affected by dietary factors too. Poor quality meat, food wrapped in plastics, hormone pills, electricity, etc, can result is xeno (fake) estrogen fat stores. This can show up on the legs, pectorals (chest) and arms.
The body needs strong detoxification pathways to dispose of body fat. The main detox organ is the liver.
The liver has such a hard job to do and every day, we over load it with toxins.
If your liver is stressed or if you are dehydrated, you may store fat on the chin and the knees. Your body will not drop fat efficiently if your detox pathways are compromised.
So as you may now see, fat loss is more complex than counting calories, but spot reduction is very achievable!
To start shifting your stubborn fat stores, give us a call at Be-Fit: 0191 2135300

You hear it all the time these days. Everywhere people are saying that they're cutting back. They're economizing. They're downsizing. We have to save every resource and make it last for just a while longer than we used to. We have to cut extras out of our lives and live more frugally. And just in case you have troubles doing that on your own, the government will help you. They will tell you where to cut back. They will tell you which natural resources you have to save, even if it means returning to the dark ages. If this health care bill passes, they will tell you which diseases are worth treating, which people are deserving of treatment, and which people we ought to let die for the good of the masses.
I think I've figured out the next place that the government is going to tell us to cut back. I've been studying this for a while, and in my professional opinion, I think that the government is going to downsize the calendar. I think we will soon hear of a bill proposing that we remove one month from the twelve we usually use in a year.
It makes perfect sense when you think about it. That's one less month that they have to send out welfare checks, social security, or make medicare, medicaid or WIC payments. That's one less month that government officials have to pay salaries to government employees. One less month they have to use in factoring vacation time and sick leave.
It would be good for us too. Just think, a thirty year mortgage (providing you're one of the few people that qualifies for one these days) would actually be paid off in twenty-seven and a half years. On a more personal front, for females that's one less month of--you know--per year. And who wouldn't be happy with that?
The only question really is, which month do we do away with? It can't be January. We need that for new year's resolutions. Plus, Martin Luther King Jr's birthday is celebrated then. We don't want to be accused of being politically incorrect. For the same reason we can't get rid of March. St. Patrick's Day. All of Chicago would be in a uproar because then they'd have no reason to dye the river green. We can't do February because that would put cupids out of work. And the card companies. We have to keep April because without Easter we'd have no reason to get dressed up in new dresses and we'd have no reason to eat tons of candy. May has to stay because of Mother's Day. And no one wants to get rid of summer months. We need September because that's when school starts, and we can't get rid of October because of the huge Halloween holiday. Naturally, we also need to hang on to December because of Christmas.
When it comes right down to it, November is the month that has to go. It's boring, it usually has bad weather. We'd probably all be better off if the calendar went right from October to December. But wait, you say? What about the holidays in November?
I'm glad you brought that up. Let's look at November's holidays, shall we? First, we have Veterans' Day. Hey, I personally appreciate the contributions of veterans as much as the next person. But let's face it. National pride and patriotism are on the way out. If we keep celebrating our war heroes, we might alienate some third world country that resents our power anyway. We don't have acts of war or terrorism anymore. We have manmade disasters. We could celebrate Disaster Control Day, but that could easily be slipped into August. There's not much happening that month anyway.
The other holiday in November would be Thanksgiving. And we don't want to remember that holiday anymore because that epitomizes our failure as a nation. We've managed to corrupt the true meaning of Easter and Christmas. We've enlarged and celebrated Halloween until it's becoming a major national holiday. But somehow we just haven't truly been able to mess up Thanksgiving.
Oh, we've tried. But gluttony and sporting events couldn't quite erase the thankfulness this holiday inspired. We tried connecting it to the biggest sales day of the year. And sure, we got some people who gave up Thanksgiving in order to sit in lines all night, waiting for stores to open at 5:00 a.m. But still we couldn't get rid of that thankfulness. It's hard to corrupt thankfulness. It's almost impossible to commercialize it. We've even had people try to distort history and take the thankfulness out completely, referring to the holiday as the day we celebrated "sticking it to the Native Americans".
The only way we're going to get rid of this holiday is to do away with November all together. I've noticed that some stores are already doing that. The first week of November I couldn't find any fall decorations to save my life. Christmas decorations were up in the store, and they were even playing Christmas music. I think removing November from the calendar would just be the official gesture to what's been going on for years.
I don't know about you, but in our house, we plan on celebrating Thanksgiving for a good many years to come. For one thing, I'm going to be grateful that God hasn't given our nation everything we actually deserve.

The Callahan Mine is a former 150-acre zinc-copper massive sulfide mine adjacent to and under a tidal estuary on the Atlantic coast. The mine ceased operation in 1972, and the site is currently under water and subject to daily tidal exchange. Sadly, mine wastes from this former open-pit mine contaminated community groundwater wells and adjacent terrestrial, freshwater and intertidal and sub tidal marine habitats. As a result of the contamination the site was named to the U.S. EPA National Priorities List in 2002.
To understand the extent of the damage and to chart a way forward, Stantec completed a remedial investigation and ecological risk assessment for the Callahan Mine. An Administrative Order of Consent among the EPA, Maine DEP, and Maine DOT was finalized in 2005.
In 2012, the Maine DEP approached us to continue to provide services to help reclaim and restore this landscape. Our work on the clean-up action and site restoration includes supplemental ecological surveys and permitting for site closure, ecological restoration, and design support for a treatment wetland that will treat groundwater as the waste rock and tailings piles are dewatered.

Turmeric – Possible New, Inexpensive, Depression and Anxiety Treatment
Turmeric (curcumin) may be a new, inexpensive depression and anxiety treatment. It's early days on this one, but it's worth noting because it is so available and inexpensive. Here is where the research is on turmeric as a treatment for depression and anxiety.
Preliminary Evidence for EMPowerplus/Truehope in ADHD Treatment
Those of you who follow me know that I'm not a big fan of Truehope/EMPowerplus, in spite of having tried EMPowerplus myself. And one of the things I complained about is the lack of double-blind, controlled studies of the supplement. Well, one scientific study has now been published and I figured I should mention it to be fair. This new study indicates preliminary evidence for Truehope/EMPowerplus (a micronutrient formula) in the treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Truehope/EMPowerplus Experience at Week Five
It's been quite a while since I've done a Truehope/EMPowerplus update. I had planned on more of them, initially, but when nothing major happened, I didn't have much to report. I have come to some conclusions about my Truehope/EMPowerplus (what is Truehope/EMPowerplus) experience at five weeks, however, so I'll share them below.
My Psychiatrist's Reaction to EMPowerplus/Truehope Treatment
I was really nervous to have to tell my doctor that I had decided to take the Truehope product EMPowerplus. I was pretty sure he was going to either laugh or chastise me out of his office. My anxiety about it was so bad that I didn't want to mention it at all. Of course, that would have been a poor decision. Allowing anxiety to override your logic is never the right call.
So I told him and surprisingly, he was nonplussed. He just sort of said, "Alright then."
EMPowerplus/Truehope Update Day 11
I am now on day 11 of my EMPowerplus experiment and, yes, I have talked to my doctor about it (more on that later). Here's what I have to report about the EMPowerplus:
- I started on half a dose – that's two pills in the morning and two in the evening.
- Pretty much as soon as I started taking the EMPowerplus I started feeling giddy. Not quite hypomanic but notably elevated and different, although not better.
- On day five I experienced an official rapid cycle from hypomania one day to serious debilitating depression the next day.
New Treatment Approaches for Treatment-Resistant Depression
I have been known to lament that there's nothing new under the sun when it comes to depression treatment, and thus, there is little hope for people with true treatment-resistant depression. (And by treatment-resistant depression I mean people who really have tried everything, and there are few in this category.)
But I forget how far we've come and how fast. It isn't fair to say there aren't new approaches to treatment-resistant depression because there are new approaches being researched and approved every year. Here are a few noted by Current Psychiatry article Innovative approaches to treatment-resistant depression:
N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) – Inexpensive Treatment for Bipolar Depression
N-acetylcysteine, also known as N-acetyl-L-cysteine or just acetylcysteine is a supplement that shows promise in the treatment of bipolar depression. This is really big news because there are very few drugs, supplements or anything else that show promise in the area of bipolar depression. But N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is even better than most because:
- N-acetylcysteine is an over-the-counter supplement
- N-acetylcysteine is cheap
- N-acetylcysteine has very few known side effects
What is N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)?
Don't be scared by the fancy name, just think of NAC as a supplement like omega-3 or vitamin D.
N-acetylcysteine is the N-acetyl derivative of the amino acid cysteine, and cysteine is an amino acid required for you to live. Your body uses it in your brain, for digestion and many other things.
And more interesting for people with bipolar disorder, cysteine is a precursor to glutathione, which is a precursor to glutamate – a neurotransmitter in the brain. Like the neurotransmitter serotonin is made more effective by using selective-serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants, glutamate is increased by taking NAC.
The Research on N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) and Bipolar Disorder
I have been watching the research on NAC and bipolar depression for a while and it looks very promising.
Note that NAC is always used as an add-on medication for bipolar depression and is not used alone.
- A recent open-label trial found statistically significant reductions in bipolar depression scores over the course of eight weeks. Improvements in functioning and quality of life were also seen.
- A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study found significant reductions in bipolar depression scores. Reduction in depression was seen by week eight but further ("medium to high") benefits were seen by week 20.
N-acetylcysteine has also been used to treat compulsive behavior (like hair-pulling, trichotillomania and gambling), cocaine craving and cigarette smoking.
How is N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) Dosed? What is the Cost of NAC?
This is always a call for your doctor but the double-blind placebo-controlled study mentioned above dosed at 1000 mg twice daily. Some studies have gone higher than this.
I pay about $25.00 per month for NAC and I get it from a vitamin shop.
What are the Side Effects of N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)?
This depends on who you ask. In the double-blind placebo-controlled study no side effects were noted as statistically significant but side effects are, of course, possible with any medication. Long-term data is not available on NAC's safety.
It's worth noting that in very high doses (much higher than is used in humans) mice were found to develop damage to the heart and lungs.
Natasha Tracy's Opinion on N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)
In my non-medical opinion, this medication is worth a try for people who have unresolved bipolar depression. Again in my opinion, it is a low-risk option for treatment that really appears to have no downsides.
And on a personal note, I, personally, have found it effective.
Learning More About N-Acetylcysteine
If you're interested in NAC I encourage you to click on the studies I have linked to and read Dr. Phelps' write-up on NAC as it contains more detail than I have provided. You may need to provide this information to your doctor as many doctors don't know about NAC and bipolar depression.

New Antipsychiatry Discussion, L-Theanine, Rapid Cycling Markets – 3 New Things
This week's three new things include:
- A new supplement that may help brain health and mental illness: l-theanine
- A poor comparison between rapid cycling bipolar disorder and the financial markets
- A new discussion of antipsychiatry
1. New to Me: L-Theanine as an Antidepressant
Maurya, a commenter, asked if I knew anything about l-theanine. Well, I didn't. Every once in a while even I run across something of which I haven't heard.
So, for those of you in my boat, here's a bit about l-theanine:
- L-theanine is derived from green tea although we're not sure of the best way to extract it.
- L-theanine has been studied on mice and seems to exert antipsychotic- or even antidepressant-like qualities.
- L-theanine is a glutamate derivative and loyal readers will know that I think glutamate will be a big player in mental illness treatment in the next few years. (N-acetylcysteine (NAC) also works with glutamate.)
- There is very little conclusive research on l-theanine, we really just have ideas about what it does; it may possibly be a stress-reducer
- L-theanine may improve cognitive impairment (a human study)
As always, as this is a supplement it is not FDA-controlled and there is no guarantee as to what you will get in the bottle and you should never take any supplement without first checking with your doctor.
More studies on l-theanine can be found here.
2. What I Don't Like – A Half-Assed Comparison Between Bipolar Disorder and the Financial Markets
I'm a writer so questionable metaphors irk me. And rapid cycling bipolar disorder as a metaphor for the financial marketplace? Really? That's a whole new level of irk.
If you really want to make that comparison then the bulk of the article should be on the markets and not mental illness, and not the other way around like Lloyd I. Sederer M. D. did in Rapid Cycling Bipolar Disorder: In the Office and On 'The Street.'
Comments of Mental Illness Stigma
All this poorly-written article did was confuse people and elicit a bunch of anti-bipolar comments like:
"The foundation of the Bi-Polar epidemic is based in suppressed biochemistry, outdated understanding of genetics and a complete misunderstanding of our true spiritual nature."
"So how exactly is this different from saying some people dramatically over-react to external circumstances?
Sorry folks, but this one goes into the notebook for the next philosophical discussion of "medicalization" as a way of discussing deviance."
Seems to me he just wanted to use mental illness as an eyeball-grabber, tricking readers onto a topic they would never otherwise read – with the extra bonus of eliciting remarks of stigma.
Gee, thanks.
3. What I Find Interesting – New Discussion of Antipsychiatry
As you might know, I'm not a fan of antipsychiatry folks. I have written a lot on this topic and I'm sure I will write much more in times to come. But I can across this article, Getting It From Both Sides: Foundational and Antifoundational Critiques of Psychiatry which has an interesting discussion of antipsychiatry viewpoints.
Two Sides to Antipsychiatry
It astutely notes there are two sides of antipsychiatry – those who feel that nothing can be defined and thus no mental illness can be defined; and those who feel illness is rigidly defined and mental illness doesn't meet that definition.
Both sides, as the author says,
". . . have had the effect of discrediting and marginalizing psychiatry and of delegitimizing psychiatric diagnosis and nosology."
It's a very intelligent view of antipsychiatry criticism that is elevated far beyond what we normally see online. Check it out.
Until next week: Smarter and Better.
Five New Bipolar Depression Treatments You Don't Know About – Part 2/2
As I mentioned, people with bipolar type II spend 35X more time depressed than hypomanic, and yet there are very few treatments available.
As we discussed last time, the neurotransmitter glutamate and the inflammatory complex are two new, badly-needed areas of bipolar depression treatment research. Here are three additional bipolar depression treatment areas you probably don't know about: diet, antioxidants and modafinil.
Diet, Insulin and Bipolar Disorder
There are quite a few people talking about diet and bipolar disorder, and diet and depression. And for all the words they say, the one thing we actually know through study is: no diet is known to treat bipolar disorder. Period. We know an unhealthy diet will possibly make you worse, but the only thing science can recommend is to eat a healthy, balanced diet.
Diet and Insulin
[push]The only thing science can currently recommend is to eat a healthy, balanced diet.[/push]
That being said, insulin interacts with many parts of the body responsible for much of the brain functioning. For example, insulin regulates the concentration of neurotransmitters and monoamines in the central nervous system; and these chemicals are thought to impact mood disorders, Alzheimer's and schizophrenia. It appears a lack of insulin can produce mental illness symptoms.
This area is in extremely early development but there is currently testing of insulin increasing drugs in treatment of bipolar disorder and depression. And yes, other dietary issues are being studied (more carbohydrates and less carbohydrates are being studied) but as of yet, there is nothing concrete.
Antioxidants and Bipolar Depression (N-acetylcysteine (NAC))
We know something unfortunate about the brain and mental illness: mental illness shrinks the brain. (Mental illness decreases neuroplasticity, technically.) And we know that some drugs protect or reverse this effect (SSRI antidepressants, lithium, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)). [pull]We know something unfortunate about the brain and mental illness: mental illness shrinks the brain.[/pull]
And one of the possible causes of brain shrinkage currently being considered is oxidative stress. Oxidative stress represents an imbalance that prevents detoxification and repair within tissues. (It's complicated. See Wikipedia.) Some amount of oxidative stress is normal (and important) but this stress combined with cell abnormalities is implicated in bipolar disorder. Evidence suggests lithium and valproic acid protect neurons against oxidative stress.
(Still with me? Good. It's going to get easier. Just hang on a bit longer.)
This oxidative stress can be caused due to decreased levels of antioxidants. One in particular, glutathione, is known to have abnormal levels in bipolar disorder. And in order to make enough glutathione, a body must have enough of an amino acid, cysteine.
Increasing cysteine levels using N-acetylcysteine (NAC) has been reported to be neuroprotective and impact glutamate (which we think is good, see here). NAC has been able to alleviate depressive symptoms in people with bipolar disorder in a double-blind placebo-controlled study as an add-on medication.
N-Acetylcysteine for Bipolar Disorder Depression – The Good and The Bad
The good? NAC is cheap, over-the-counter, and from what we know, safe.* The bad news? NAC can take up to five months to work and study on it is limited. (See bipolar disorder type 2 depression and NAC notes by Dr. Jim Phelps.)
In a completely non-medical, Natasha-only-based opinion, NAC seems like something you could talk to your doctor about adding. There doesn't seem to be a downside other than waiting for five months to see if it works. This doesn't mean try it on your own. It means talk to your doctor.^
Modafinil and Bipolar Depression
Last, but not least, is the research into modafinil treatment of bipolar depression. Modafinil is a "wakefulness promoting agent" prescribed to people "with excessive sleepiness." This is not an amphetamine but is a stimulant. Basically, we don't understand this medication but it increases monoamines like norepinephrine and dopamine, which we generally like.
Modafinil has been shown effective in treating bipolar depression (without inducing mania or hypomania) by week two of treatment. In the study, modafinil decreased depressive symptoms and increased remission rates.
This medication is one some doctors are already using off label for the treatment of bipolar depression.
Summary of Bipolar Depression Treatments You Didn't Know About
Basically, under all of this, the message is: we're working on it. It's long and slow and frustrating for us crazies but the doctors have their lab coats out and they're thinking up stuff all the time. Will any of these help you? I don't know. But what I do know is these five areas should be a reason to hold onto hope, even if what you're doing right now isn't working.
Information Reference
The information in this article is primarily from: Novel Treatment Avenues for Bipolar Depression By Roger S. McIntyre, MD and Danielle S. Cha. Clinical Psychopharmacology. April 19, 2011.
See the article for all the nitty gritty details about the above.
* Safe in this case means no known drug interactions (to the best of my knowledge and according to a doctor). In the drug database used by doctors up here in Canada it reports no side effects. In the study they note it as "safe" but report change in energy, headaches, heartburn and joint pain as possible side effects – these being basically the same in the placebo and NAC group. Keep in mind though, so little study has been done on this there may be all sorts of gotchas we haven't seen.
^ Remember: your doctor should know about all medications, vitamins and supplements you take. Just because it's over-the counter doesn't mean it's harmless.
What You Should Eat When Taking Geodon – Food and Geodon
Long (long) time readers will recall that once-upon-a-time I took the atypical antipsychotic Geodon. I found this to be an unbearably painful and side effect laden psych med. I hated Geodon. I wouldn't wish Geodon on my worst enemy. I lost touch with reality on Geodon. I passed out at work on Geodon. I got sick constantly on Geodon.
You know, that being said, Geodon works for a lot of people.
I gather my reaction to this antipsychotic was fairly atypical. And if I had known what to eat when taking Geodon that might have helped.
About Geodon
Geodon (generic ziprasidone, also marketed as Zeldox by Pfizer) was the fifth atypical antipsychotic to receive FDA approval, in 2001. Geodon is approved to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder mixed-states and bipolar mania. And, of course, Geodon is prescribed off label in other cases of bipolar disorder or for depression.[1]
Facts about the Atypical Antipsychotic Geodon
Interesting facts about atypical antipsychotic Geodon:
- Has a very short half-life – a mean of 2-5 hours
- Geodon should always be taken with food (see below)
- It slightly increases the QTc interval (heart rhythm)
- Geodon can occasionally cause mania in people with bipolar disorder
It has all the other nasty effects that atypical antipsychotics do like weight gain, diabetes, tardive dyskinesia and the like.
Geodon Must be Taken with Food
One of the nasty problems I had with Geodon is that I found unless I ate exactly the right thing (red meat, I found, but results were variable) I would get really sick after taking the drug. I would feel nauseated, dizzy, crazy and basically so sick I had to go to sleep. And it was really hard to predict exactly when this would happen. It was a bitch.
Food with Geodon Affects Bioavailability
What I didn't know is what really matters is the number of calories consumed with Geodon.
I had thought taking the Geodon was making me sick but actually it was the withdrawal from Geodon making me sick. Due to the short half-life, if I didn't get the correct dose of Geodon, I went through withdrawal. (I took it once a day, increasing the problem.)
And as it turns out, if you don't eat the right food, Geodon isn't properly absorbed into your bloodstream. This is known as bioavailability. If you take Geodon without food its bioavailability may only be 50%. So 200mg becomes 100mg.
What to Eat with Geodon
While psychiatrists generally tell people to take Geodon with food, I doubt anyone mentions that if you don't, it is only half as useful.
Luckily, there's a study.[2] According to The impact of calories and fat content of meals on oral Ziprasidone [Geodon] absorption: a randomized, open-label, crossover trial:
- Maximum Geodon absorption was seen with meals of 1000 calories
- Low-calorie meals of 250 calories had only a 60% – 90% absorption rate, highly variable
- Meals of 500 calories were close to the absorption rate of the 1000 calorie meals
- Meals of 500 – 1000 calories had much less variable Geodon absorption rates
- Fat content of the meal had no bearing on outcome
So, in short, if you're taking Geodon, you should eat a meal of 500 calories or more when you take your Geodon.[3]
Isn't That a Lot of Calories?
I'd say so, yes. Seeing as dosage instructions for Geodon are to take Geodon twice daily with food, that's at least 1000 calories right there. Kind of nutty, but there it is.
Do Doctors Know about Calories, Diet and Geodon?
Honestly, I have no idea. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't know the magic formula was 500 calorie meals with Geodon. You might want to ask your doctor about it.
More on diet and bipolar disorder over on Breaking Bipolar.
[1] In case you're curious, Geodon is one of four drugs Pfizer plead guilty to illegally promoting for disorders for which it was not FDA approved.
[2] By the way, you could get around this problem with intramuscular injections. If, you know, that were an option for you.
[3] And by "should" I mean according to the study and after talking to your doctor. Of course.
Unusual Bipolar / Depression Treatments
I've been "living the bipolar lifestyle" for over a decade now, and due to my general obsession over all things factual, I've done lots and lots and lots of research on bipolar treatments. Lots of research on lots of psychotropic pharmaceuticals specifically, but I've looked at, and tried bipolar disorder treatments too. I've written about unusual mental illness treatments here from time to time but I decided to put together the top 5 list of bipolar / depression treatments you might not know about for HealthyPlace.
Unusual Bipolar Disorder / Depression Treatments
Included is:
- L-methylfolate: A Burbled Article – L-methylfolate as Antidepressant Enhancing Agent
- Omega-3: My Burble Article – Diet and Depression / Bipolar
- Calcium Channel Blockers – Burblicious – Anticonvulsants as Calcium Antagonists in Mood Stabilization
- Thyroid Hormones – I was on Levoxyl, oddly I didn't write about it.
- Light Therapy – somehow I can't find anything on this either. Which is weird, because I actually like this one.
It's probably that I just didn't get the chance to write about the last two. Sometimes I really mean to say something but I don't get around to actually doing it. Anyway, you can check out the HealthyPlace article for more.

Man charged with DUI after crash involving bus on I-95
NEW CASTLE, Del. (AP) - Delaware State Police say a man is facing a drunken driving charge after six people were injured in a crash involving a DART bus on Interstate 95.
Police said in a statement Tuesday that the crash happened on southbound I-95 west of New Castle on Monday evening.
Police say a Saab 9-5 suddenly changed lanes and hit a Nissan Altima, which veered left and hit the front of a DART bus.
The Nissan driver and passenger and the bus driver and three bus passengers were taken to Christiana Hospital with injuries that police say aren't considered life-threatening.
Police say the Saab driver, 37-year-old James Mullin of Wilmington, has been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and other offenses. He wasn't injured.

Calais crisis: Emergency M20 lorry park to move to old airport in 'short term' solution
AN abandoned airport will be used as an emergency lorry park to help ease heavy traffic caused by the crisis in Calais.
An unused airport in Kent will be used to help ease traffic caused by the crisis in Calais
But the Government's plans to move Operation Stack to Manston Airport in Kent have been blasted as nothing more than another weake "short term" solution.
It adds to the already criticised plans to send in sniffer dogs to Calais, which lorry drivers described as useless.
Ukip leader Nigel Farage blasted the motion to use the closed airport as a temprary alternative to traffic calming measures as "transferring the parking problem" from Dover to its neighbours.
Operation Stack saw sections of the busy M20 closed to hold waiting freight traffic, leaving nearby roads gridlocked and hauliers stuck in tailbacks.
The Government spent last week trying to determine a solution to the crisis, including using spare parking space at Ebbsfleet International railway station.
But that idea appears to have been ruled out in favour of using Manston Airport, which closed last summer with the loss of more than 140 jobs.
The agreement was met on the basis of using the space temporarily, the Department for Transport (Dft) confirmed.
A spokesman for DfT said the plan at Manston Aiport would work alongside Operation Stack to help reduce disruption on the M20.
The migrant crisis has caused chaos for cross-Channel traffic
He said: "The priority is to keep traffic and goods moving and ensure people on both sides of the Channel can go about their lives as normally as possible.
"Freight will be directed when the diversion is in place. Holidaymakers will be able to follow clearly signed routes to their destinations."
Transport Minister Lord Ahmad added: "Working together we have found a viable short-term solution to the disruption residents and industry in the M20 corridor from Dover to Maidstone have been experiencing in recent weeks as a result of Operation Stack.
This is a simplistic and short term approach to the ongoing crisis in Calais and Dover
"By using Manston Airfield we have secured an interim solution while we work to find a longer term resolution, which meets the needs of the whole of Kent and of course the interests of British industry."
The move was also welcomed by Kent Police deputy chief constable Paul Brandon, who said the force would "support any measures that will ease the pressure on the M20".
He said: "We have been in a critical situation in Kent since the middle of June and, in that time the situation in Kent has been acknowledged as a very real, national issue.
"Following work by the Department for Transport and Highways England, the option to divert freight bound for Europe to Manston Airfield, whilst very challenging, has become more feasible in terms of resourcing and logistics."
Operation Stack has been put in place on the M20
Ukip leader Nigel Farage called the plan for Manston Airport a "simplistic and short term approach" to the ongoing commotion caused by Calais in Dover.
In a joint statement with Ukip's Leader of Thanet District Council, Chris Wells, Mr Farage said: "Ukip neither wants nor needs the Ramsgate area, including Manston, to become a lorry park.
"This is a simplistic and short term approach to the ongoing crisis in Calais and Dover.
"Ukip-controlled Thanet District Council is only interested in getting lorries moving so that business can flourish, not simply transferring the parking problem from Dover into the neighbouring districts.
"We need a more radical approach, and so we urge the government to open up the Port of Ramsgate so lorries can be moved across to the continent.
"This diversification of routes would open up a new stream of movement for vehicles and help businesses get moving again. That is the real approach required to combat the major economic problems that are now arising from trouble on the Calais/Dover route."
The Freight Transport Association also called for a permanent solution to the problem, but said Manston Airport could provide respite for local businesses and residents.
James Hookham, FTA Deputy Chief Executive, said: "Anything that relieves pressure on the M20 and surrounding roads is to be welcomed, especially at the busiest time of year for freight and tourist traffic.
"We have been calling on Highways England and the Government to come up with a solution and this temporary measure could alleviate the problem.
"However, this is part of a much bigger issue encompassing the ongoing unrest in Calais and the overall lack of rest facilities for drivers in Kent."
It is estimated that Kent's economy has been losing around £1.5 million a day during the chaos of Operation Stack, which was last lifted on Saturday.

Unanswered: Visual Basic: compare
In VB:
How can I do compare?
For example:
Invoice Table:
[Vendor Name] [Code1] [Code2]
I want to do similar: like there is portion M123, which is same, then I set that it is similar.
So, In query, I can use Mid([Code1],1,1) = Mid([Code2],1,1)....etc.
Check each character.
So, In VB, how can I do that? Do I create a array. Please tell me how to create it.

there is probably a neater way than char-by-char compare, but it doesn't spring to mind. so in a global module try:
public function testSimilar(in1 as string, in2 as string) as integer
'ACCEPTS two strings in1, in2
'RETURNS an integer representing the similarity of the two strings
'-1: error
'0: no shared character sequence starting 1st left char

dim myPointer as integer
dim mySim as integer
dim myString1 as string
dim myString2 as string
on error goto err_testSimilar
'LATER - deleted unnecessary line that was here
if len(in1) < len(in2) then

myString2 = left$(in2, len(in1)
myString1 = in2
myString2 = left$(in1, len(in2)
mySim = 0
for myPointer = 1 to len(myString1)
if mid$(myString1, myPointer, 1) = mid$(myString2, myPointer, 1) then
mySim = mySim + 1

I have detested bottled water since their popularity in the late 90s, when people started walking around with bottles as if they couldn't find potable water WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF ANYWHERE. Now I have some data to back up my disgust:
Ounce for ounce, it costs more than gasoline, even at today's high gasoline prices; depending on the brand, it costs 250 to 10,000 times more than tap water. Globally, bottled water is now a $46 billion industry.

We built Keenow out of ideology and we want to let anyone easily unblock services and apps from anywhere in the world. We provide two plans:
Easy - just press on the 'Get Keenow Now' button above and follow the instructions.
You can use Keenow from anywhere in the world.
Keenow has an easy-to-use app for Microsoft Windows - all the way from Windows XP to Windows 10. Other Operating System are supported as well, but do require to be set with manual settings which are included on the Keenow Setup Guides section.
Currently we provide manual setup guides for Android, Android TV, Mac OS, iOS, Routers and Smart TV's. In addition, we are currently working on an Android App for Mobile, Tablets and Smart TV's.
Keenow was developed by Keen Media Group, a team of IT professionals from 3 different countries. We have a very strong stance against geo-blocking and the fact that International end-users are discriminated compared to our USA peers, and for us Keenow is an ideology far more than a business.
We invite you to visit the European Consumer Organisation website to thoroughly understand why Geo-blocking is a very wrong business practice.
Initially, the first version of Keenow was indeed a free service which gave users unlimited bandwidth to access U.S. sites in exchange for an installation of a Newtab/Search extension called MediaTab.TV. However, the model proved wrong due to the following reasons:
That being said, we now offer Keenow Lite which allows users to unblock hundred of US sites for free.
The main difference is that Keenow v2 requires a quick registration both for free and premium accounts. Just press on 'Get Keenow now' link at the top of this page and follow the instructions.
If you already have an account with us then you can go ahead and download the new builds:
This section relates to Netflix for web (i.e. www.netflix.com). If you are enquiring about the Netflix app (i.e. iPhone, Android, Playstation, etc...), then please jump ahead to the next question.
In most cases, issues with Netflix are a result of DNS caching by your browser or device, but before we jump to cleaning your DNS cache, let's check the following to determine the root cause of the issue:
Everything should work well now. If it doesn't, please feel free to contact our support team and we'll do our best to assist.
Unlike Netflix for web (www.netflix.com), the recent Netflix apps use hard-coded DNS settings, as well as hard-coded IP addresses - which means that it is nearly impossible to unblock the Netflix App using Smart DNS. Please follow our Netflix App guide for easy ways to unblock the Netflix App as well.
Unlike most unblockers that rely on Virtual Private Networks (VPN), Keenow mainly relies on the Smart DNS technology to unblock content, and therefore using the basic unblocking feature of Keenow would not change the device's IP address. We do recommend to read the Technical FAQ section below to understand more about the differences between Smart DNS and VPN's. It is important to note that the premium version of Keenow Unblocker also includes unrestricted VPN access as well as state-of-the-art VPN client.
Firstly, we are really sorry to see you go - and we would really appreciate your feedback. Please feel free to share your thoughts by contacting our support team - our CEO reviews the support tickets daily.
The Keenow Smart DNS Suite for Microsoft Windows adds an uninstallation entry to the Control Panel / Settings menu. You can uninstall the product by accessing the Start Menu and then Control Panel -> Add/Remove Program menu (Windows 7) or Settings -> System -> Apps and Features menu (Windows 10).
Manual Uninstallation guides for various OS can be found on our Setup Guides.
Unlike most unblockers that solely rely on a VPN technology, Keenow mainly relies on the Smart DNS technology to unblock websites and apps. The Smart DNS technology allow us to provide a generous free plan (Keenow Lite) which can unblock hours and hours of online HD streaming everyday. The premium version of Keenow also uses the VPN technology, and includes an unlimited bandwidth VPN plan.
DNS stands for Domain Name Server. When a device is trying to connect to a remote server, the IP address of that remote server must be included in the request. Since IP addresses are usually hard to remember, a typical human-being would much rather remember a domain name such as 'Facebook.com' than an IP address such as 220.127.116.11 (try it). When encountering a domain name, your device first connects to a predefined Domain Name Server (DNS) which resolve the domain name to an IP address, allowing the device to send a request to the proper IP address - the network destination. This is where Keenow Unblocker steps in.
Smart DNS is basically a customised DNS server which resolves domain names of streaming sites to proxy servers which are (normally) located in the US, allowing you to unblock US streaming sites no matter where you are situated right now around the world, and without compromising the speed of your Internet connection.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a network technology that creates an encrypted network connection over the Internet between a client (you) and a remote server. Since military-grade encryption is being used, no one can decrypt the data flowing between the client and the server unless they have the proper decryption key - not your ISP, not your hackers, and definitely not your government. In most cases, remote VPN servers are located in the US and therefore you are being assigned with a US IP address which allows use to access US sites and apps.
To answer this question, we must understand how VPN's actually create a private connection. When you start your VPN client, it actually creates an encrypted tunnel to a remote server, and encrypts all the data that flows through it. The VPN client actually encrypts and transmits ALL your bandwidth through remote servers, and therefore the solution is relatively slow and not cheap (unless the VPN providers decide to share your Internet connection with other people - but that's a different story). The bottom line - unless you want to conceal your online identity, VPN is most likely to be an overkill to just unblock streaming sites.
Smart DNS basically uses a set of filtering rules on the DNS level to determine which domain calls to proxy, and which not. Therefore, the solution works way faster than a VPN because it 'knows' exactly what data should pass through a proxy server and what not. In addition, this method allows us to provide the service for free.
DNS resolution only takes few hundred milliseconds, but when a webpage calls 50 different domains it can get a bit tricky. In order to improve webpages loading speed, both Microsoft Windows and Google Chrome have a local cache where all previous DNS calls are saved, and quickly retrieved when you access different sites. In fact, that's one of the reasons that Chrome is such a fast browser.

Can the expressions "fucking like rabbits" and "banging like bunnies" apply to masturbation? I ask because I really want to start today off with a fun play on words and, with Rabbits Cams, you're going to be masturbating to the sex cam models and not actually getting it on with them. Although, given how hot and intimate some of these performances are, you'll probably cum like you are.
RabbitsCams is a cut above most webcam sites that I've seen. The design is easy on the eyes while being neither too cluttered nor too bland. Also, finding your way from one section of the site to another, as well as from one type of cam model to another, is easy as pie.
You'll love a lot more than just its organization, though. There are 29,246 total models with an average of 1,399 webcams being live while I was online. You get a great mix of chicks, including Asians, Latinas, teens, MILFs, babes with big tits, redheads, blondes and girls who keep their pussy hair shaved. That's just the solo women, too!
There are also lesbian performances, straight couples and group sex cams. Foot fetishists, smoking fans and lovers of pregnant chicks and trannies are catered to as well. Male models come in straight, gay, gay couples, muscular, bisexual and other categories. There's even a cat dedicated to anal sex between studs.
Click on a model and you're taken to the webcam performance, beneath which is a pretty sweet model interface. It lists all sorts of stats like age, height, orientation and turn-ons, as well as gives brief write-ups that detail what you can expect to see in their shows and what they're willing to do in order to get you off. Very frequently, there is also a performance schedule so you know when to come back for more.
Other tabs often show you a bunch of pics of the models and sometimes there are vids. However, the vids often cost extra per use (although you can pay an additional monthly fee to get unlimited access to all movies).
The movies typically cost as much as the average per-minute price of chatting, while the models generally charge $2.99/minute to take them private. Most models are amateurs and ask for exactly or close to that much, but there are also famous pornstars like Aletta Ocean who charge several dollars higher.
You can't always chat with them in public settings, but you can see what they're doing prior to entering a private or exclusive show. This gives you a good idea as to how clear the camera quality is. From what I saw, it looks like most cams offer good to excellent quality with little to no choppiness.
Like many cam sites out there, most models offer only public and private chats. However, a bunch of them let you pay extra for an exclusive chat, which means that it's completely one-on-one time with the model (in a private chat, anyone who pays for it gets to take part). Other models also give you a "gold show."
What makes a gold show different is that once a certain milestone figure set by the model has been hit, then only those who contributed toward that total will get to take part in the group cam performance. The length of the shows and theirs costs vary from one model to another. I spotted one charging 1 gold (meaning $1) for a single minute, as well as one who wanted 200 gold for 90 minutes. One thing I really liked is that if it never hits the benchmark amount, all contributors get their money back.
There's even a feature called the Rabbits Cams Rewards that gives you credits based on how often you chat with the cam models and how many times you purchase a video. Depending on how active you are, you can get as much as 10% back! That makes for a lot of bonus time. With tons of features, a plethora of performers and generally very high camera quality, I can't think of a reason why you wouldn't want to visit Rabbits Cams.

Wheeler Tweetie Hang Glider
In 1974 Ron Wheeler developed the "Tweetie" hang glider. The Tweetie was almost exactly the same as the Scout only it did not have the engine, the tail plane was fixed and the pilot hung from the A-frame below the wing. Apart from being quite a successful hang glider the Tweetie allowed Ron to experiment and get experience with the Scout design.
In 1975 the hang gliding associations in Australia were seeking Air Navigation Orders (ANOs) from the Department of Transport for the regulation of hang gliding in Australia. Hang gliding, since its introduction to the world by Bill Moyes and others in the late sixties, was a fast growing sport and the hang gliding associations thought that if they did not actively seek some regulation it would be done without their consent.
This prompted Ron Wheeler to approach the department for similar ANOs for the regulation of ultralight and minimum aircraft such as the Scout. Observing the interest both here and overseas in such aircraft and fearing that unfavourable legislation would force the flying of these aircraft underground the department drafted ANO95.10 which came into force in 1976.
Ron Wheeler
Ron Wheeler was born in Melbourne in 1921. The son of a tradesman, he was educated at a local public school and later attended Collingwood Technical College and then Melbourne Technical College where he attained certificates in engineering pattern making and engineering drawing. His education was broken by WWII and he served in the army from 1940-46.
Though the first documented report of the Scout appeared in 1976 Ron claims to have developed and flown the aircraft in 1974. At this time he was building catamarans in Sydney¹s southern suburbs. Ron had no experience in aircraft design and claims to have started the project on a whim in his spare time. Using sources referenced from the library at Sydney Technical College and Hurstville local Library he built up a working knowledge of aerodynamics. Utilising his technical knowledge of boat building and materials he built from the first Scout. (The stitching of catamaran sails is still evident in the wing of the very early models.)
