Alvedon suppositories (paracetamol)
|Main use
|Active ingredient
|Pain, fever
How does it work?
Alvedon suppositories contain the active ingredient paracetamol, which is a simple painkilling medicine used to relieve mild to moderate pain and fever. (NB. Paracetamol is also available without a brand name, ie as the generic medicine, in many forms, including suppositories.)
Despite its widespread use for over 100 years, we still don't fully understand how paracetamol works to relieve pain and reduce fever. However, it is now thought that it works by reducing the production of prostaglandins in the brain and spinal cord.
Prostaglandins are produced by the body in response to injury and certain diseases. One of their actions is to sensitise nerve endings, so that when the injury is stimulated it causes pain (presumably to prevent us from causing further harm to the area). As paracetamol reduces the production of these nerve sensitising prostaglandins it is thought it may increase our pain threshold, so that although the injury remains, we can feel it less.
It is thought paracetamol reduces fever by affecting an area of the brain that regulates our body temperature (the hypothalamic heat-regulating center).
Paracetamol is about as effective as aspirin at relieving mild to moderate pain and reducing fever, but unlike aspirin it has no anti-inflammatory effect.
Paracetamol can be used to relieve mild to moderate pain associated with conditions such as headaches, migraine, toothache, teething, colds and flu. It is also useful for reducing fever and discomfort associated with colds and flu and following vaccinations.
Paracetamol suppositories may be especially useful for people who can't take paracetamol by mouth, for example because they feel or are being sick, or have just had an operation.
The suppositories melt in the rectum and the paracetamol is then absorbed into the bloodstream through the rich supply of blood vessels found in this area.
Alvedon suppositories contain children's doses of paracetamol.
What is it used for?
- Mild to moderate pain and fever in children.
- Alvedon suppositories are for rectal use only and should not be taken by mouth.
- Different strengths of Alvedon suppositories are suitable for children of different ages. Make sure you use the correct strength for your child. Do not exceed the dose stated in the information leaflet supplied with the medicine.
- This medicine must not be given with any other paracetamol containing products.
- An overdose of paracetamol is dangerous and capable of causing serious damage to the liver and kidneys. You should never exceed the dose stated in the information leaflet supplied with the medicine. Immediate medical advice should be sought in the event of an overdose with this medicine, even if the child seems well, because of the risk of delayed, serious liver damage.
- If your child's symptoms persist consult your doctor.
Use with caution in
- Decreased kidney function.
- Decreased liver function.
Not to be used in
- Known sensitivity or allergy to any ingredient.
This medicine should not be used if your child is allergic to one or any of its ingredients. Please inform your doctor or pharmacist if your child has previously experienced such an allergy.
If you feel your child has experienced an allergic reaction, stop using this medicine and inform your doctor or pharmacist immediately.
Label warnings
- Do not use this medication with any other products containing paracetamol.
Side effects
Medicines and their possible side effects can affect individual people in different ways. The following are some of the side effects that are known to be associated with this medicine. Just because a side effect is stated here does not mean that all children using this medicine will experience that or any side effect.
- Redness in or around the back passage (rectum).
- Skin rash or itch.
The side effects listed above may not include all of the side effects reported by the medicine's manufacturer.
For more information about any other possible risks associated with this medicine, please read the information provided with the medicine or consult your doctor or pharmacist.
How can this medicine affect other medicines?
You should not give your child other medicines that contain paracetamol in combination with this medicine, as this can easily result in exceeding the maximum recommended daily dose of paracetamol. Many cold and flu remedies and over-the-counter painkillers contain paracetamol, so be sure to check the ingredients of any other medicines before giving them in combination with this one, or ask your pharmacist for advice.
Long-term or regular use of paracetamol may increase the anti-blood-clotting effect of warfarin and other anticoagulant medicines, leading to an increased risk of bleeding. Regular monitoring of blood clotting times should be performed if paracetamol is used regularly with these medicines. This effect does not occur with occasional pain-killing doses.
Other medicines containing the same active ingredient
|Anadin paracetamol
|Fennings children's cooling powders
|Perfalgan infusion
Paracetamol tablets, capsules, caplets, soluble tablets, suspension and suppositories are also widely available without brand names, ie as the generic medicine.
The quantity and strength of paracetamol supplied in the container or packet will determine whether it can be bought only from pharmacies, or from other retail outlets such as supermarkets and garages.
NB. Paracetamol is known as acetaminophen in the USA and some other countries.

Alex and Kyle are having a pee problem.
"Dude," Kyle says. "It is impossible to see this." He squints at the screen, which is displaying a feed of images from a webcam hooked up above a yellow toilet. The toilet is sitting next to the desk.
"I really think we need the green toilet," Alex says.
"Okay," Kyle agrees. "Let's use the green toilet."
Thankfully, the liquid that Alex is spraying into their hack isn't actually pee. It's just water and yellow dye. But they keep calling it pee anyways, and it's throwing me for a loop.
In fact, their whole project is throwing me for a loop—I don't know what's going on, and the two of them are so excited about it that I can't get them to explain it to me for more than 20 seconds at a time.
Finally, Kyle takes a moment away from the visibility problem—their webcam isn't identifying the "pee" as it streams into the toilet—and explains: "We want people to recognize the musical potential of their pee."
Then he adds, "We're not sure what that means yet." It might be a urine-controlled MP3 player—aim left to go to the next song. Or it might behave like a steel drum, where the user can, uh, shoot different places to play different notes.
They don't know yet. But they do know is that they need to use the green toilet—and that's progress.

As soon as Team Merge started describing their solution to a common problem, a hacker from the next table over interjected.
"It's like the worst problem in the history of the world, ever," he said, smiling. He was mostly joking, but he had a point—Max, one of the hackers from Merge, was describing a problem that almost every college student can relate to.
"When I want to get people together for dinner, I'm always texting the same group of people: 'Hey, are you free in an hour?'" Merge is an iOS app for short-term event planning, meant to make impromptu dinner or coffee that much easier. (The name "Merge" is a reference to merging in version control— in a sense, you're merging schedules on the fly.)
"We just wanted to make something that we'd actually use," Max said, adding that they didn't use any sponsor API's because, "We didn't have a good way to shoehorn one in. Our last hack, Electioneering, used some API's and was super cool, but it wasn't something that we'd really use in our day-to-day lives.
"This is something that we'd actually use."

"Stumbler? Is that with an 'e?'" I ask.
"No," Sam clarifies. "It's like 'Tumblr.' It's actually like StumbleUpon, but with Tumblr content."
The inspiration, Sam says, struck when he was talking to a friend who really likes both StumbleUpon and Tumblr. When that friend started wishing for a mashup of the two, Sam knew he had a hackathon project: "I was like, 'Hey, we can build that!'"
PennApps presented the team with a great set of API's for them to use: Tumblr, obviously, but also MongoDB and Facebook login (to preserve users' preferences and voting history). They're also thinking of adding Dropbox integration, so that users can save posts they really like in a permanent and accessible way.

"It's a graph theory graph thing!" Sri says. "No," Adam says. "It's a draggy javascript canvas editable svg graph visualization doohickey for mackey idolizers." (This, I learn, is what they've written for their github repo.)
I'm still confused, so Sri explains. "When we do stuff with graph theory," he says, "we want to visualize stuff. But right now there aren't any good tools that let you play with your graphs."
Their hack, Hamilton, aims to change that. (When I ask why it's called "Hamilton," they chuckle. "Like Hamiltonian cycles. We're really clever.") Hamilton will be a web interface that lets people upload a graph from a file. Users will then be able to manipulate a visualization of the graph, and download it again—or perhaps share it. "We're thinking it might be like JSFiddle, where you can post it and share it," says Sri. I ask if they're using any API's. "Not yet," someone says. "But we're thinking of using Filepicker.io or Dropbox for file handling." As someone who's been struggling with a tricky graph problem all week, I can't wait to see—and use—their final product.

"We're building a RCPRS," one of the hackers said. "A what?" I ask."Oh, you know. An RCPRS. A realtime, collaborative playlist request system." Oh, of course.
"So say you're having a party," someone explained. "You can then give everyone a link, and they can go to that link and submit playlist requests and vote on them." Sounds pretty cool, and useful. I'd use that at a party (or a hackathon). I ask about the API's they're using."We're using SoundCloud, Spotify and YouTube for the music, and we might use Dropbox. Oh, and we're using mongoDB. And Socket.io."What's Socket.io?"It's a wrapper for web sockets, which lets the client and the server communicate in real time." Web sockets work a bit like AJAX, they explain, but instead of making a full HTTP request you can use sockets, which are much more lightweight. Socket.io will let the voting on the RCPRS work quickly and smoothly.

Winter Cup of Tea
I posted this photo a few days ago but now I'm going to share a quick easy to make recipe for that winter cold. The great thing about it is, it's not just to scare away the cold/flu but it amps up your immune system AND tastes amazing.
Serving Size - 2/3 cups.
- Half a lemon
- Two table spoons of honey (or 3, or 4 haha)
- 3 cups of water
- A single cinnamon stick
- Loose leaf black tea (3 large spoon full)
- Add 3 cups of water into a pot and bring up to boil.
- Turn down heat and let simmer while squeezing in the half lemon right in.
- Stir slightly and put on low heat while adding in the honey and cinnamon.
- Let simmer for 2minutes then bring back up to boil for another 30seconds
- Turn down heat and add the loose leaf tea in then let simmer for 1 minute.
- Bring back up to boil and remove off heat, let it be and stir it OFF the heat for a minute.
- Serve and come back here to thank me.
(add more water if it seems too strong or add honey to adjust the sweetness/bitterness to your liking) - drink while warm.
Spicy Red Hot Plum Tea
So, a ton of people have over the past few weeks msgd me requesting more how-to step by step tutorials. I added the earlier Ginger Walnut Cinnamon Tea recipe a couple days ago but more and more people are asking for, well, more.
Now to satisfy all those requests and a few others I get quite often regarding the 'color of tea' and how to infuse fruity flavors into tea, and even how to make nice tasting tea without using ceramic pots and so forth, I went ahead and merged all of those here.
Many ask, "how can we give a really vibrant color to our tea, and make it taste fruity without using food coloring or any unnatural additives". Simple, use natural ingredients. When you don't have a ceramic teapot, use a regular pot and an infuser, and if you don't have a proper infuser, use one from inside a coffee strainer ;) Just adapt and experiment with what you do have!
Here's how I made a Spicy Red Hot Plum Tea! (you read that right)
First, you're going to need some ingredients:
- 3-4 cups of water in a pan
- Black loose leaf tea (4 pinches or so, I measure it by pinch but you can go ahead and add in 3 spoon fulls)
- A mini apple (if you don't have those baby apples, use half a full apple)
- 2 Plums (I don't like using ripe plums, the older the better, they have more color and taste and they boil well but ripe ones work too.)
- Salt and pepper
- Stick of cinnamon (or equiv. powder)
Instructions on how to make this amazing fiery red tea:
Chop the apple and plum into the pot of water
Season lightly with salt and pepper and stir once or twice
At this point the water will remain transparent
Bring up to light boil on high flame, at this point the plum slices will have begun to expand, the skin may break and parts of the plum might even crumble, that's fine and normal.
Drop flame to low and let it boil slowly till the water's color changes to pinkish/red (shouldn't let it get too dark) - you can at this point stir it a bit and squeeze the plum slices on the inner side of the pot to get those juices flowing out faster so as to make sure it's flavor packed
Check it out!
Now add your tea into an infuser, rinse with cold water very lightly, turn OFF your heat and then place the infuser into the middle of your pot.
Let it sit there for 3-4minutes or so.
Strain into glass and if you like, add sugar to taste (but really there's no need, tastes amazing as is, your call though)
Once you've had a few cups of this red hot spicy plum tea, snap back to reality and clean up after yourself :P
Blog Rewind: Hot Russian Tea Recipe
There's a nip in the air, bringing a promise of holidays, sore throats and sniffles. One of my favorite things about fall and winter is enjoying warm, soothing teas and coffees. This recipe is my absolute favorite, and it has apparently become a favorite of other people as well. I've posted this recipe twice before, and it has become the most popular post of any on my blog. I hope you enjoy it too!
This delightful winter drink is one my mom used to make all the time when we were kids. It makes the house smell wonderful, is an excellent source of vitamin C, and very soothing for dry, sore throats. Enjoy!

- 8-10 whole cloves
- 1/2 to 1 cup of sugar
- 6 small or 2 family size tea bags
- 3 cups pineapple juice
- 3 cups orange juice
- 3/4 cup lemon juice
Put water, cinnamon, cloves and sugar in a large pan or stock pot (at least 4-5 QT pot); boil for 5 minutes. Turn off heat; add tea bags and allow to steep for 5 minutes. Remove tea bags. Add fruit juices and heat through—DO NOT BOIL.
This will stay good in the pan on the stove or in a crock pot for a day. Afterwards, remove cinnamon sticks and cloves and store in air-tight pitcher in refrigerator. Heat up one cup at a time or reheat entire batch. (Do not allow to boil.) Will keep for 5 to 7 days.

Apple Pie Sundaes with Cheddar Crust Shards
Using a slightly tart apple, like a Granny Smith or Pink Lady, is key to this frozen-yogurt sundae; sautéing brings out the fruit's sweetness. The crispy, salty cheddar crisps that accompany the sundaes are as good with cocktails as they are with desserts.
Yield: 8 servings
More From Food & Wine
Recipe Time
50 Minutes
Total: 2 Hours
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Kosher salt
- 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 1/2 tablespoons cold water
- 1/4 teaspoon cider vinegar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 large apples, such as Pink Lady or Granny Smith—cored, peeled an
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- Kosher salt
- 2 pints vanilla frozen yogurt
- Preheat the oven to 350°. In a food processor, combine the flour with 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt. Coarsely grate the cold butter into the food processor. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and pulse twice. Add the cold water and cider vinegar and pulse just until the dough is evenly moistened. Turn the dough out onto a work surface and knead until it just comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or until chilled.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 9-inch square and transfer to the baking sheet. Bake for about 40 minutes, until golden. Let cool.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter. Add the apples and toss to coat. Add the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg and season lightly with salt. Cook over moderately high heat, stirring frequently, until the apples are tender and translucent, about 15 minutes.
- Add 1/2 cup of water to the skillet and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat. Transfer half of the apples to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Scrape the puree into a bowl and freeze until it is cold, about 30 minutes.
- Soften the frozen yogurt slightly and transfer it to a large bowl. Fold in the cold apple puree and freeze until the frozen yogurt is firm, about 30 minutes.
- Scoop the frozen yogurt into 8 bowls and top with the sautéed apples. Break the cheddar crust into large shards and serve with the sundaes.

Roasting the red peppers and lacing them with balsamic vinegar gives an appealing touch of sweetness to the dressing; it's a real winner. Try it on its own over grilled chicken or shellfish.
Food & Wine JANUARY 1998
1. Roast the pepper over a gas flame or grill or broil it, turning with tongs until charred all over, about 10 minutes. When the pepper is cool enough to handle, pull off the skin. Remove the stem, seeds, and ribs. Cut the pepper into pieces.
2.In a blender, combine the roasted pepper, the garlic, vinegar, oil, salt, and black pepper. Puree until smooth.
3. In a large bowl, combine the greens with the ham and black-eyed peas. Serve the salad with the dressing spooned over the top.
Variation:: If you'd rather use frozen black-eyed peas, cook them according to the package directions, drain, and let cool before adding them to the salad. Or you could substitute black beans or kidney beans.
Wine Recommendation: This salad needs a crisp and frankly fruity red to contrast its smoky flavors. Beaujolais, easy to find and easier to drink, is a perfect choice.

How do you know the low side is at 65 ?
Have you checked your air filter?
Is your air handler blower motor running?
Are your evaporator coils frozen over?
Is the condensor fan motor running when the compressor is running?
I checked the pressure and yes to everything else..
What about the pressure on the high side?
Do you have the correct level of freon in the system?
Turn off, melt ice, turn back on, measure temp of suction line at condenser

FRIDAY, Nov. 8 (HealthDay News) -- The number of people with asthma who are allergic to cats is on the rise -- it's doubled over 18 years, a new study finds.
"From 1976 to 1994, positive allergy skin tests in people with asthma have increased significantly," study author Dr. Leonard Bielory said in a news release from the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI).
"Not only have we found the number of asthma sufferers allergic to cats has more than doubled, but those with asthma are also 32 percent more likely to be allergic to cats than those without asthma," he added.
The researchers also found that people with asthma are more likely to be allergic to several environmental triggers common in the fall, including ragweed, ryegrass and fungus.
The study was scheduled for presentation Friday at the ACAAI's annual meeting, in Baltimore. The data and conclusions should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.
About 60 percent to 85 percent of people with asthma have at least one allergy, but the most common types of allergies in people with asthma have not been well researched, according to the ACAAI.
"This study helps us better understand common trends in allergy and asthma, which can lead to improved diagnosis and treatment," Dr. James Sublett, chair of the ACAAI indoor environment committee, said in the news release. "While it is unknown exactly why there has been an increase in asthma and allergy sufferers, it is thought a number of environmental factors can be responsible."
During the holidays, allergy symptoms can suddenly appear in people with asthma and those who've never had allergies. For example, while visiting friends and relatives with cats, a person may develop a runny nose, sneezing and itchy eyes.
There is also something called the Thanksgiving Effect, where college students return home and discover that they are now allergic to a pet that never before triggered symptoms.
"Allergies can strike at any age in life, with symptoms disappearing and resurfacing years later," Bielory said. "Allergies and asthma are serious diseases. Misdiagnoses and inappropriate treatment can be dangerous."

After all, what's the worst John's brand new script could do?
Hard to read, uninteresting, WTF lacking story.
So, Roman's unchanged copy of the program pulled the config file and data from production (because he never changed to to look locally) and kept naffing up the production process by fighting for the same data?
Hello you're through to 3rd line support. How can I help?
Oh, the critical data import isn't working? Well that is to be expected, because $staffmember is currently on holiday.
Please check back in a week.
There is less risk in not changing anything.
Management doesn't know that John's new script won't break things in a catastrophic way.
Also some shops value a dev's work over IT.
As long as John handed the ropes over to Roman to maintain for the upcoming weeks/months of trying to figure out why a trivial local change broke production, who cares?
Roman may give up eventually and John's new script will get promoted. Or Roman decides he doesn't want to change anything and reverts his local changes and stops breaking production.
So the policy is to not try and fix something that isn't broken, so why doesn't the story just end with:
"And they put the old, working, .BAT file back into production and everyone lived happily ever after"
Or Roman remembers that John already has a (possibly) working script, takes that and sells it to management as his brilliant fix...
TRWTF is:
a) not immediately finding the problem that caused the job to fail.
b) not immediately rolling back to the pre-Romanised version of the bat file, followed by Roman being required to share his proposed new (broken) version with John, who would then go over it with Roman to work out what it was that went wrong.
c) allowing Roman to continue with his broken script after the second time it happened.
After b) has happened, it would then be confirmed that it *was* something that Roman had done that broke it. (Note that it still has not been established that Roman's changes did in fact break it -- it could have been coincidental). It would also be an opportunity to call Roman out on his untruth that he never did nuffink.
Erm... 44 lines, 831 words and 4848 characters just to say: "In company X management prefers to find the root cause of a problem first, even if that means waiting longer, before applying a fix"?
And it's not as if that would be a wtf.
Actually, saying "I don't know what causes the problem, but here is a replacement script that does not exhibit the same problems, so it must be a fix", that's wtf.
Well, it certainly can be. But on the other hand, when production is already failing, it's a lot easier to justify that kind of thing... telling the boss "I don't know what caused the bug, but the relevant code no longer exists".
TL;DR - Management being management
It might replace their forums with Discourse :( :( :(
CAPTCHA: ratis - this sort of cheap humor barely ratis as worth the trouble, but I did it anyway.
No picture. I didn't even start reading because there's no picture!
Given your name I presume it'd have to be a small animated gif of a rotating bone?
/ Too Badly Written, Didn't Read
TRWTF is believing any colleague who says he didn't change anything.
NEVER believe such a statement. For working-relationship purposes, it's usually a bad idea to directly challenge it, but you turn it around. "I didn't change anything." "OK, so what did you do?" This isn't guaranteed to get a useful answer, but starting from "What did you do?" instead of "What did you change?" is possibly more useful. "Show me what you did." might be even better.
I'm sure a bash script would work much better.
After unsubscribing, remember to stop commenting.
captcha: enim, an enumeration with roman numbers.
Maybe they're commenting on a replacement version of the production program that creates the article on his own PC
And flashing text in a really odd colour over a really bad pixelly background.
Does anyone else wish Yahoo had kept Geocities around just for laughs?
TRWTF is that it was a move and not a copy
CAPTCHA: distineo. The production file's distineo was Roman's local machine.
"But I didn't do *anything*."
"What, nothing at all? Absolutely nothing at all?"
"That's right, I didn't do *anything*!"
"So remind me again: why do we pay you?"

Well, they did keep it around for Japan.
There's also always Neocities.
Did someone say they wanted Geocites back?
This ranks right up there in the collection of common lies along with LUsers describing their problems to the help desk:
HD: Do you see any kind of error message?
LU: Nothing.
HD: What's on your screen now?
LU: Nothing.
HD: Your screen is completely dark?
LU: Well not exactly.
HD: What color is it then?
LU: Mostly gray, except for some funny words at the top.
HD: I see. And what do those words say?
LU: (proceeds to relay the error message that didn't exist two seconds before...)
I did not get the punchline for this story.

Obligatary XKCD reference...
So, BAT file watches a magic directory for a file to appear, then ftps the file to another machine. Developer does something on his dev machine and the production system breaks. SysAdmin writes a replacement BAT file using Powershell. Management decides to keep BAT file in place until the root cause is found.
Scenario 1: Developer changed the production code or the production config file. Proposed solution: Rewrite the BAT file in Powershell. This *might* work, but will require test time and is likely to introduce new problems. Actual (but not suggested) solution: Revert the changes. Duh.
Scenario 2: Developer didn't change the production code or the production config file. That means his dev work is somehow preventing the file from being put into the magic directory, or manages to delete the file from the magic directory before the production code processes it. Proposed solution: Rewrite the BAT file in Powershell. This will *not* work, because the BAT file is not the problem. The file still won't be in the magic directory when the new Powershell script runs. Actual (but not suggested) solution: Fix Developer's dev environment so it doesn't touch production.
So, can anyone come up with *any* scenario here in which rewriting the production code from scratch is actually the right thing to do? 'Cause I sure as heck can't think of any.
This is one of the few stories I have read on the Daily WTF where the villain is not clear after the first couple of paragraphs.
It is certainly the first one where I STILL don't know who the bad guy is after finishing the article. So, what was the WTF, and was there a solution?
Looks to me like the well of understanding is bone dry; since it seems very unlikely that Roman will bone up on reality.
I feel in my bones that this is now a permanently manual process. This tickles my funny bone, since it will be Roman (the cause of the problem) wearing his fingers to the bone.
I think your understanding of the story is too marrowly defined.
To be fair, PowerShell is quite a bit more powerful than CMD (even CMD is more powerful than most people realize). You can generally make a shorter and clearer script to do something in PS than you can in a BAT file.
Given that, it may not be that bad an idea to replace the BAT.
Turns out the president's daughter was deleting the source files off the server.
So the WTF is not using source control to track changes to the batch files?
Or is the WTF that the story is unreadable?
Does anyone else feel that this story was accidentally truncated, despite it being ten times as long as it should have been?
Sorry, I forgot strike-through doesn't work here. Maybe it works better on Discourse? :-(
I thought that's why Yahoo kept themselves around?! LOL
My Eyes! The goggles do nothing!
It does.
EDIT: double post o_O
WTF is the need to mention 'all over again' all over again right after saying 'déjà vu'?
Use our cloud services and Watson to avoid embarrassing mistekes like these. Watson doesn't have much work these days anyway lol.
TRWTF is the implication that it is EVER summer in Winnipeg. Winnipeg has 3 seasons: Winter, Mosquito, and Roadwork.
That is the way I read it as well.
So, TRWTF is that Roman's development environment had modify access to critical production files.
Also that they didn't just disable Roman's copy of the BAT (I'm assuming he had it scheduled) until Roman could grok it enough to fix it.
It seems that John intentionally encouraged Roman to leave his broken instance running so there would continue to be a production issue to justify John working on a new script.
Maybe the president's daughter got boned with a vibrating .bat

We don't know if model Stefanie is North or South Dakota - the only state we're definitely in right now is one of excitement.
Is it true you sometimes get mistaken for Julia Roberts?
I wouldn't say mistaken – it's more, "You look just like Julia in Pretty Woman and Erin Brockovich!" I've been getting it since I was very young, but since growing up I get it regularly, especially from photographers – it's the biggest compliment!
What's been your favourite modeling assignment so far?
I mainly do lingerie and swimwear, so most of my shoots are quite sexy! I'd say shooting my new calendar in Barbados was my sexiest assignment.
You've been trying your hand at acting - if you could star in any kind of film, what would it be and why?
I'm a sucker for horror and thriller movies! But then I'd love to star in an action movie, too, like Rosie Huntington-Whiteley did in Transformers.
What would be your ultimate femme fatale look?
My favorite look is a nice tight dress with red lips and hardly any makeup.
What type of guys do you go for?
I'd say guys who make me laugh. I know every girl says this, but it really does help! I love laughing and I feel it's one of the most important things. Also, someone with goals and ambitions. I love hearing what people want to achieve and what their goals are in life.
What's your idea of a romantic night?
This is easy for me! A film night in, with loads of chocolate and ice cream and a take away! I just love cozy nights in.
What's your favourite part of your body?
I would probably say my legs and bum - I'm very grateful to them!

A BASINGSTOKE bar which mysteriously closed down a few weeks ago is now being advertised to let.
Bar Rock in Winchester Street closed on February 1 when a notice was put on the door of the premises giving notice of the termination of the licence, but no reason why this had happened.
Now, a sign has been put up outside the Top of The Town venue, by commercial property agents London Clancy, advertising the 6,300sq ft "prime retail unit."
A member of staff for London Clancy told The Gazette that they began marketing the ground floor of the building to let last week for £110,000 per year.
Bar Rock was the second nightspot in Basingstoke to shut its doors this year, following the closure of Censo, in Church Street, in January.

4 Ways to Sweeten Up Your Whiskey Sour
Adding a little sweetness to mellow the burn of the liquor is part of the plan for almost all cocktails - in fact, the earliest cocktails were just liquor, sugar, water, and a dash or two of bitters. These days, simple syrup (a 1 to 1 mix of water and sugar) is the most commonly called-for sweetener in cocktails, but we've got a lot of different choices at our disposal - like honey and agave nectar - all of which can subtly alter the character of a drink.
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending a cocktail conference in San Antonio, where Lucinda Sterling, the senior bartender at Little Branch in NYC, experimented with the use of different sweeteners in a classic gin sour. I decided to try the same thing at home, but with whiskey (I'm a big fan). It was a delicious experiment.
1: The classic whiskey sour.
The tried-and-true formula for a whiskey sour is this:
2 oz whiskey (I used rye whiskey),
3/4 oz lemon juice (fresh squeezed, of course), and
3/4 oz simple syrup.
These proportions did not disappoint. The lemon and sugar nicely balanced out the whiskey without completely overpowering it. The simple syrup is a very crisp and elegant sweetener; it doesn't bring a lot to the table, but lets the other flavors do the talking.
2: Honey whiskey sour.
2 oz whiskey
3/4 oz lemon juice
1/4 oz honey
1/2 oz hot water
First, add the honey to your shaker, and then add the hot water. Stir to make a syrup; then add the other ingredients, add ice, and shake and strain into a glass.
The honey adds a very subtle sweetness. In the gin sour made with honey (also known as a 'Bee's Knees'), the honey really brought a lot of flavor. Here, I feel it blends more into the overall character of the drink.
3: Agave Nectar whiskey sour.
2 oz whiskey
3/4 oz lemon juice
1/2 oz agave nectar
I added a tiny bit less agave nectar than simple syrup, owing to the fact that agave nectar tends to be a little bit sweeter. Agave nectar is quite popular for margaritas, where its somewhat vegetal character nicely complements the tequila; lively debate rages on the internet over whether the agave nectar or simple syrup margarita is superior. Pairing agave nectar and whiskey is less of an obvious choice, but I think it works here. The agave nectar definitely gives the drink a certain piquancy, and maybe even a little of the vegetal character, but I liked it.
4: Turbinado sugar whiskey sour.
2 oz whiskey
3/4 oz lemon juice
1/2 oz turbinado simple syrup
I'm partial to turbinado sugar; I always put it in my mojitos. Turbinado sugar's slightly molasses-y flavor lends a bit of depth and richness to the the whiskey sour; definitely worth a try.
Nancy Mitchell thoroughly enjoyed this research. You can find more of her recipes on her blog, The Backyard Bartender.

I loves me a bourbon old fashioned made with maple syrup!
small bit of orange peel (optional)
1/2 oz Grade-A real maple syrup
3-4 dashes Angostura bitters
2 oz bourbon (I like Four Roses)
Muddle orange peel, maple syrup, and bitters in a chilled old fashioned glass.
Discard the orange peel.
Add couple ice cubes to the glass, pour in the bourbon and give it a little stir.
Garnish with a twist of orange peal and a cherry or just enjoy it as it is.
I love the version of the Whisky Sour that they serve at Back Forty on Ave B in NYC.
They make theirs with maple syrup. (They call it the Back Forty on the menu).
I love it a little too much.
I am drinking a whiskey sour with honey right now. Oh. so. good. Thank you for these new ideas!

From the very beginning, I was 100% sure that I wanted LETTERPRESS. What I did not know was that letterpress card was sooo costly! After spending many hours browsing various websites, I found one perfect destination-- ETSY!! There are many many talented people who make letterpress invitations, but I found this one amazingly reasonable seller, Blackbird Press!! (http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5069203) The cost was $320 for 75 invitations(Her price went up these days though). We decided not to make RSVP cards and direction cards since the invited guests can RSVP on our wedding website and check the direction on google map :-)
We also added the lining & a sage satin ribbon on the card.

Shortly after I got engaged, I found out that Saks in NY had a sample sale. I was planning to go back to Japan the following month for a while, so I could not miss this sale as I was not sure when my wedding was going to be! Ever since I watched "Legally Blonde 2", I dreamed of myself getting married in a REEM ACRA dress,,,and found one at the sample sale! (It was the same dress as Marcia Cross wore in her wedding)
1 Big Problem--- I am size Petite 0 ! All the sample gowns were in size 10 including the one my friend and I had our eyes on.
The wedding consultant was persuasive enough that it could be altered without a problem,and I purchased the gown. I kind had the mixed feelings though. I am the type of gal who can spend hours browsing a bridal magazine ,but my dress hunting ended less than 1 hour. I also felt like the dress was overpowering and I did not look like me.
I brought it back with me to Japan, brought it to the tailor and found out that it was nearly impossible to alter it to my size.
After I came back to the U.S and started looking for a new dress, I found out about the couture experience at Amy Kuschel. I checked their website and found some dresses I liked. My far most favorite one of all was "Swanson" which I ended up trying on first. I looked at myself in the mirror and I almost cried!! I tried several others just to see if I was going to be interested in other dresses (and just because I did not want to end up like the last time) but no other dress was as outstanding.
Because I spent some $$ on my failed Reem Acra dress, I did not want to spend too much money. "Swanson" was not the cheapest dresses at Amy Kuschel, but after all it was well worth it!! I got many compliments from the guests and most importantly, I felt good wearing it!

After the engagement, I went back to Japan to spend some time with my family and worked for a year there. Meanwhile, Mr.B completed his MS and moved to the Bay area. After a lengthy application process, my fiancée visa was approved in April 2008 and we were finally reunited in June 2008. We had our "first" wedding at San Francisco city hall on June 27th and finally our "second" wedding on January 10, 2009. We had a very intimate wedding with 55 guests from across the U.S and abroad.
Mr. B and I wanted our wedding to reflect who we are. I am Japanese who went to school in the U.S and Mr. B is American who went to school in Japan---We love both cultures and languages!! We also wanted our American guests to learn something about Japan while Japanese guests do the same about the U.S. So, we ended up having a bilingual ceremony and an American style reception with Japanese twists!
Though guests may have had some miscommunication and "lost in translation" moments, our wedding turned out wonderful and many guests seemed to enjoy it. Most importantly, Mr. B and I were very very happy :-)

GRAND RAPIDS (WKZO) -- Representative Justin Amash is defending his congressional voting record. Amash held his first town hall meeting of the year Wednesday night at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library and Museum.
Amash told a friendly crowd, "I'm voting the way the constituents want me to vote, which is to represent all the people in my district." He decried what he called "a major spending problem in this country."
Amash was recently booted from his seat on the House Budget Committee.
