About 200 inmates at an Arizona prison fought each other for up to a half hour Thursday, injuring several inmates and a guard, correction officials said.
A joint report by NBC station KPNX and The Arizona Republic said that the fight meant a unit at Arizona State Prison Complex-Tucson would be on lockdown for several days while authorities investigate, according to officials.
The fight broke out at 5:30 p.m. local time (8:30 p.m. ET) in the Santa Rita Unit yard, Bill Lamoreaux, an Arizona Corrections spokesman said, according to the report. Tactical Support Unit teams and prison personnel regained control of the yard within a half hour.
Reuters reported that officers secured the yard without the use of force.
The prison staff member who was hurt suffered an injury to the ribcage, Lamoreaux added.
The prison complex has 5,150 beds, while the Santa Rita Unit has 768 beds, 727 of which were occupied Thursday.
13 inmates hurt, shots fired during 'New Folsom' prison riot
On Wednesday, a prisoner was shot and injured and 12 others were hurt when 60 inmates rioted at California State Prison-Sacramento – known as "New Folsom."
Thirteen people were stabbed, shot or injured in a prison riot in Folsom, Calif., sparked by a dueling group of inmates. KCRA's Mike TeSelle reports.
Guards fired six bullets from a rifle and blast dispersion rounds during their efforts to stop the fighting.
Reuters contributed to this report.

7 Craziest Conspiracy Theories
Here is the list:
1. Israel makes Palestinian schoolgirls sexually promiscuous by selling them aphrodisiac bubble-gum. (If this kind of gum existed, would not men from around the world be scrambling to purchase it?)
2. Alien Reptiles are dominating the World. (According to the theory, George W. Bush is an alien reptile. It does explain a lot...)
3. Wingdings font has a secret message of approval to kill Jews. (Must be the Palestinians fighting back against that gum mentioned in #1.)
4. Stephen King killed John Lennon. (Mark David Chapman, the killer of Lennon, is probably not getting his hopes up about getting out of jail based on this theory.)
5. The Early Middle Ages (614–911 AD) never occurred. Year 2007 is actually 1710. (Who in the world would benefit from fabricating three hundred years of history? And why would so many historians from around the world and from various time periods go along with it?)
6. Paul McCartney is dead. The current is just a lookalike. (Well, this one at least is old news.)
7. NASA Faked the Moon Landings. (Sadly, this one is old too. It is an insidious piece of bad historical revisionism which just will not go away. The evidence debunks this but evidence is irrelevant to true believers.)
I want to start my own historical conspiracy theory! I need to come up with something good and then see how long it takes before people start believing it. Something wild but with some plausibility would be nice. "Facts" that can not be disproven by any evidence would be great too. Give me some time...

I had never heard of some of those, they are spectacular. I particularly like the missing middle ages.
I only beleive in a few of them. ;)
In the 62's & 70's there was a conspiracy theory that anything you xeroxed was transmitted to a central file registry at Xerox & the infomation stored....

Rebels in Colombia from the National Liberation Army say they are ready to overcome outstanding differences with the government and initiate stalled peace talks.
The announcement Wednesday by the ELN on its Twitter account comes two days after Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos signed a peace deal with the far-more powerful Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). The peace agreement attempts to end the 52-year-old guerrilla war between the FARC and the state, the longest-running armed conflict in the Americas.
The ELN and government announced in March they would start peace talks. But the talks never got going after Santos demanded the group renounce kidnapping after its fighters took a prominent politician captive.

Jonah Hexed
Written by Sarah
Do you believe in voodoo? I do. Call it superstition, karma, witchcraft, bad juju. I believe that "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." And I walked right into a black magic trap over the weekend. I went to see Jonah Hex. Willingly. I paid my $10 for Jonah Hex and in so doing I invited evil into my life. And evil arrived Sunday night in the form of the Massive Computer Meltdown of 2010. But first, about Jonah Hex.
I am struggling with the language to express just how bad this movie is. Because there was a lot wrong with this movie. An unlikeable hero, a love interest we never care about, a villain so bland he was played by John Malkovich's Reanimated Corpse, and attempts at humor which repeatedly fell flat. Nothing illustrates a movie's failure more than when the moment after a punchline is greeted with silence. Though it's quite short at 73 minutes, I feel like if I sat through a longer Jonah Hex I would have started bleeding from every orifice. The writing was bad, the acting was bad, the direction was bad, the editing was criminal. The editing was so awful. What might have been decent performances from Michael Fassbender (Inglorious Basterds, the upcoming X-Men: First Class) and Will Arnett (Arrested Development) were rendered useless by having their characters cut off at the knees.
Who were these people? Why were these people? What were they supposed to be doing? What were their names? No idea on all of the above. When asked how Michael Shannon, recent Academy Award nominee for Revolutionary Road, was in the movie my answer was, "I don't remember seeing him." Which makes sense as he was the "Barker at the boxing match". Michael Shannon, Oscar nominee, was reduced to being an EXTRA. And Josh Brolin, generally a good actor, was brought down by Hex's trademark scar. It immobilized his face and unfortunately Brolin isn't such a good actor that he can overcome the liability. What looks good in a comic book doesn't always work on film.
The plot of Jonah Hex is irrelevant. Large chunks of it made no sense, and I can't remember it anyway, because my brain entered a fugue state halfway through the movie to save itself from the sheer inanity of it all. The important points are that Hex can touch dead people and make them alive again, and that Hex and John Malkovich's Reanimated Corpse are engaged in a struggle to the death because they have each murdered members of the other's family.
Somewhere in there Hex has a relationship with a hooker (Megan Fox) who has zero impact on the story. Brolin and Fox have no chemistry and Fox can't deliver a witticism to save her life. I spent the entire eight minutes that Fox was onscreen—for a headlining star she was barely in the movie—wondering why her face looked like it had been drawn on with CGI (probably because it had).
The fight scenes were terrible, using parkour in a way that should be punishable by the law, and Brolin and John Malkovich's Reanimated Corpse do not have the physicality needed to sell a believable and visually interesting fight. The least a bad action movie could do is entertain me, but Jonah Hex was so far beyond bad and not entertaining that stabbing myself in the eye with chopsticks started sounding like fun before the movie was over.
Which brings us to the voodoo this movie worked over the weekend. My suspicions that there was something wrong with Jonah Hex began growing earlier this year as Warner Brothers kept delaying the release of the trailer. That's never a good sign, especially for big-budget summer blockbuster hopefuls that rely on internet buzz to pull their audience. I knew there was something wrong with this movie, and I knew I should have gone to see Toy Story 3 instead, but I insisted on acting against my better judgment and my reward was a virus in my nerd box Sunday night that crashed my whole system and took my initial scathing review of Jonah Hex out with it. Call me superstitious and paranoid, but I'm pretty sure Jonah Hex is actually part of a voodoo ritual that brings destruction and sorrow to all who see it. Not that anyone, besides me, saw this movie. Jonah Hex barely made $5 million over the weekend, and even in the new reality, that's plain old sh*tty box office.

What is a reciprocal link URL? Get them for free for your site!
Most website owners need to drive as much traffic to their website as possible. There are many different ways to do this and they all vary in their effectiveness. One of the most common methods employed is through the development of reciprocal links.
A reciprocal link is when one website adds a link to another website on the promise of that website adding a link back. This means that visitors to either website may follow the links and end up visiting both sites.
An important additional benefit is that the more incoming links a website has, the better its chances of appearing higher up in the Google search results. This is perhaps simplifying it rather as it the importance (or 'pagerank') of the websites linking to your own site also plays a part.
Although these can be found for free, developing these reciprocal links is a very time consuming activity and generally requires you to write to lots and lots of websites. Try to make sure that the websites you request reciprocal links from are relevant to the topic of your own site. Be prepared to never hear back from most of those that you write to. There are a number of 'link exchange' websites on the net that allow you to contact other webmasters, but do not expect to find many websites listed which are particularly relevant or high in quality.
Despite this, getting lots of incoming links is essential to the long term health of your website. Start sending requests for link sharing to relevant websites today – just be prepared to need to send out lots and be turned down or ignored most of the time. At What2Learn we have had a couple of requests from people running a website about psychics to link to them… if they were any good at what they claim to be they would know what our response would be!

NASA is going back to visit and old friend, one more time.
As we gear up for the collective adventure of the final (?) shuttle mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), The Universe in a Mirror: the Saga of the Hubble Space Telescope and the Visionaries Who built It by Robert Zimmerman serves as a fine look back at the history of the storied telescope, as well as a peek at where we might be headed. The tale of how Hubble came to be traces its origins back to past the dawn of the space age. Although much press, both good and bad, has been written on Hubble, much of its origin has never been told. The tale the author weaves in Universe is a fascinating look into the politics of NASA and how the telescope evolved over the periods of successive administrations. [Read more...]

: : : : : : : : I'm hoping not to curve this educational and fun
forum but I have an arguement to solve with friends.
: : : : : : : : Call it a phrase or a technicality but does anyone really know the truth about what constitutes someones name (phrase)to being a "junior" vs. 11 (the second).
: : : : : : : : I was told that the American rules are not the same as the England rules. If your first name only is the same as your parent but your middle name is different then your are a "junior".
: : : : : : : : But, if your first and middle names are the same as your parent then you're considered 11 (the second).
: : : : : : : : Please help. And forgive me if I pivoted too far.
: : : : : : : Neither the term 'junior' or 'II' are used in the UK and if there is a rule it is 'don't use that silly American expression'. I should say that if you referred to a young person as '******** junior' they would construe it as a term of abuse and punch you on the nose - in impolite society such as down in the public bar at the 'Dog and Duck' pub.
: : : : : : : Hope this helps.
: : : : : : You all over there in Englend have bars with names like "Dog and Duck" and think we Americans have silly expressions? Our bars have nice sensible names like "Mom's" or the "Dew Drop Inn."
: : : : : Now real English Pub names are interesting in that they originally all had painted signs which depicted some simple scenes, e.g., Plough and Horses, Eight Bells, The Kings Arms, etc. The population in those early days of the 14th and 15th centuries were, in the main, illiterate and travellers who couldn't read the words under the sign used the scene on the sign to identify the Pub - which was usually an hotel of sorts.
: : : : Oh. So that explains it. We just waited until neon lights were invented. The illiterate and travellers could find their way by looking for the giant martini glass.
: : :
: : : Take that attitude if you must, let's hope you're happy with it and it gives you comfort. I was working on the principle that Native Americans in the 14th & 15th centuries didn't use pubs a lot and that the early settlers were an erudite lot who embraced learning and would have been mortified to find, amongst their number, a significant percentage of illiterate travellers. What am I saying???
: : What does all this have to do with the man's question about "junior vs, "II"? Does anyone know the answer?
: Not a lot really. I regret dragging the train off the tracks so to speak. In my defence I claim I was encouraged by 'ESC' and abetted by the title 'Slight Tangent'.
Not to worry. I answered Mary under another "track." But seriously, what's with the pub names? If you don't mind my asking. I've never been to England (and with college tuition bills coming up, probably never will) but I read a lot of murder mysteries set there. In one there was a pub called the Rat and Carrot (nicknamed Rotten Carrot). Is there a tradition behind the names of pubs? Our bar names are not nearly so imaginative. One I saw recently -- the Looney Tunes Lounge. Although we do have a copycat English pub in town, St. George and the Dragon.

"What Not To Wear" (TLC, Fridays). One of the greatest series on television begins its final season this week. I speak of course of the decade-old "What Not To Wear," based on an earlier British model, in which friendly yet acerbic, gentle but firm hosts Stacy London and Clinton Kelly help the sartorially challenged see themselves as they are and as they could be, and should be. The best of all makeover shows because it's the least judgmental on one hand and the least sentimental on the other, it is not immune to passages of artificially heightened drama -- variations on "She'll never cooperate!" from the hosts' side and "I'll never cooperate!" from the guest's. And yet it is also authentically, deeply and reliably moving: Each episode begins with an intervention and ends as a celebration, as caterpillars become butterflies and cygnets the swans they always were, beneath shapeless sweatshirts or age-inappropriate hot pants. By freeing their subjects from bad habits of dressing, through such cruel-to-be-kind devices as the 360-degree mirror and helpful discussion of silhouettes and such, London and Kelly also help them toward more basic sorts of self-knowledge. Although both hosts have the sort of bodies that clothes line up to be worn by, they have no prejudice about yours; they only want you to love it for what it is and dress it better: "The clothes are symbolic, in the sense that it is about taking control of one's image, and when a lot of these contributors leave the show, they take control of other aspects of their life," London told me in 2010. "The minute you can get over the idea that you are going to dress in a way that makes you look like another person and accept the person that you are, then you become your own frame of reference and standard of beauty, and that's when you start to get great personal style." There will be tears, and some of them will be mine.

"Breaking Bad" (AMC, Sunday); "Breaking Bad: The Middle School Musical" (rhettandlink.com). Another show begins its last run of episodes this week. "Breaking Bad" has been called the best show on television so often that it has almost become part of the title, the way the Rolling Stones have all but trademarked "World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band"; it is reflexively accepted, like sunlight or gravity. I've blown hot and cold on the series over its run, or more precisely, I've had troubles with Walter White (Bryan Cranston), who grew less interesting to me the farther he traveled into the darkness and the more he fancied himself a tough guy. It's a character steeped in self-pity and tiresome over the long haul; lately I've admired the artistry (which is considerable, on every level) more than I've liked the story. At the same time, I have watched every episode so far and I will watch every one until the end. That it will end, I take as something of a relief, whatever does or doesn't become of Walt. (Indeed, he's the character whose fate least worries me -- I'm still invested in Jesse and Skyler and Hank.) Will he get his comeuppance? Audiences do hate ambiguity, but life likes it. There is a reason David Chase cut to black before whatever happened to Tony Soprano happened to Tony Soprano. As in the first half of this final season, the first episode of the second half (directed by Cranston) opens with a tantalizing flash forward.
Meanwhile, in "Breaking Bad: The Middle School Musical," Rhett McLaughhlin and Charles Lincoln Neal, the stars of IFC's "Rhett & Link: Commercial Kings" and authors of many online musical acts of japery, have compressed the series' run (with a proposed ending) into just under six minutes, with pitch-perfect sets and songs, each of which makes a complex impression in a very short time, and a talented and enthusiastic adolescent cast. Walt: "I'm going to use my science knowledge to make the purest rock candy this town has ever scene." Jesse: "Yo, Mr. White, it's me, your former student, Jesse. I hear you're breaking bad now." It's a weirdly charming, almost lovely, very funny, oddly uplifting thing. There's a winsome song for the rock candy to sing ("I'm blue rock candy/Here to make you smile") and a Latin number for Gustavo Fring ("Are you chickens like the chickens in my chicken restaurant?"), featuring dancing poultry. At the end, "Everyone's sad/But we won five Emmys/Rad!/We're 'Breaking Bad!'"

"Clear History" (HBO, Saturday); "The Best of 'Fridays' " (Shout Factory DVD). Larry David, who is on a break from "Curb Your Enthusiasm" -- permanent or not, he'll let you know -- returns to HBO on Saturday with a full-on movie-type movie in which he plays not his fictionalized self but an entirely different character that shares all the same tics, obsessions and self-obsession. (At the beginning, with long hair and a long beard, he looks like "Curb" director and "Seinfeld" writer Larry Charles, but eventually he gets to looking like his familiar old self.) Here David plays Nathan Flomm, a Clio-winning marketing exec who, like the David of "Curb," is undone by his inability to concede a point, giving back his share in an electric car company over protest that its CEO (Jon Hamm) wants to name a new model after his son, who is named after the hero of "The Fountainhead." "Nobody's going to buy a car named Howard; it's like calling a restaurant Hepatitits." The car is an enormous success, losing Nathan a billion dollars and making him a national laughingstock. We meet him again years later on Martha's Vineyard, living modestly and happily under an assumed name, looking not like Larry Charles but Larry David, amid a cast that includes Danny McBride, "Curb" foil J.B. Smoove, Philip Baker Hall, Michael Keaton, Eva Mendes, Amy Ryan, Bill Hader and Liev Schreiber. When Hamm's character coincidentally arrives, the bad feelings flood back and a revenge plot is set in motion.
Long before "Seinfeld" changed everything, David, with the future Cosmo Kramer, Michael Richards, was a member of the cast of "Fridays," a selection of whose episodes has just been released (with extras) in a box set from Shout Factory. Airing late-night from 1980 to 1982, it was ABC's somewhat belated answer to "Saturday Night Live," down to the makeup of the cast -- four men (one black) and three women -- and the news segment in the middle. (The cast also included Bruce Mahler, who would play Rabbi Glickman on "Seinfeld", echoing a recurring bit he did with David here; Larry Charles was a staff writer.) It's not a great show, but it is an ambitious one, with a bent for postmodern self-reflection and meta-fun. Some of its concepts and strategies are Avant-Garde Theater 101, and they broke the fourth wall on "SNL," too, but "Fridays" made a real, repeated point of it. One episode was conceived as the 1980 Republican National Convention, with the audience as conventioneers. In one sketch, a couple shows off their new apartment, which comes with its own studio audience. In another, Melanie Chartoff plays a little girl who learns that not only is the tooth fairy not real, but that her parents are actors, her room is a set, and that she herself is an actress -- and, in a short nightgown, an exploited one at that, because "showing sex-related material such as the smooth skin of your thigh keeps people watching," upon which the sketch becomes a self-reflexive disquisition upon television. ("There are some good programs, but most of them are superficial. On the other hand, there are things that about this sketch that are kind of pretentious.") William Shatner appears as Capt. Kirk transported back to the 1980s and mistaken for William Shatner. (He's also very funny as a sleep-deprived air-traffic controller -- read your history.) The set includes a famous episode hosted by Andy Kaufman (recreated for "Man on the Moon"), an "experimental" prank in which Kaufman seemed to hijack the show, bailed out of sketches and broke up constantly. It was continued the following week, when he returned to read an apparently coerced false apology, which was also part of the plan.

Storage Area, Containers and Collection Frequency
Choosing your storage area
To have recycling service at your apartment, you must have a storage area that is:
- Hard, flat and level
- Convenient for tenants and collection vehicles to access
- At least 4 feet x 8 feet
Choosing your containers
Your collection contractor will advise you on the type and size of containers your property needs and your expected collection frequency. Depending on your property's needs, you may have a combination of recycling carts and dumpsters. Glass is accepted in your combined recycling containers. You can re-label your old glass container for use for combined recycling, or you can call (206) 684-7665 to request removal.
Cart specifications
96 Gallon
28w x 30d x 43h inches
Dumpster specifications
1 cubic yard
78 x 30 x 40 inches
1 ½ cubic yard
78 x 35 x 40 inches
2 cubic yard
78 x 41 x 41 inches
Choosing the number of containers
Recycling materials usually make up about half of the garbage volume. Most units generate about one 32-gallon can of recycling every two weeks. For example, a 14-unit building might require the equivalent of about 14 cans for weekly garbage collection (or 2 cubic yards per week) and 14 for every other week recycling collection (or 2 cubic yards every other week).
Choosing your collection frequency
Most apartment buildings and houses have their recycling collected every other week. Apartment recycling can be collected once a week or once a month depending on the building and hauler.
Adjusting your containers or collection frequency
If your property's recycling often fills up before collection, you can call SPU Solid Waste Customer Service at (206) 684-3000 to increase the size of your container or the frequency of collection.

Rep. Scott Tipton is running his first television ad of the 2012 campaign, a spot that targets his Democratic opponent, Sal Pace, on Medicare.
Tipton, R-Cortez, talks about the need to preserve Medicare, the government-run health insurance program for people over age 65.
My opponent, Sal Pace, supports Obamacare, which cuts Medicare by over $700 billion. I think thats wrong, Tipton says in the ad.
Both parties have been throwing the Medicare charge against each other for the better part of two years.
Tiptons ad does not mention that he twice voted for Republican budgets that called for the same cuts President Barack Obama used in his health care law.
According to Politifact, an independent fact-checker, neither Obama nor the Republican budgets cut benefits for Medicare patients. Instead, their plans cut payments to hospitals that have too many re-admissions of patients, and cut payments to insurance companies that offer extra policies called Medicare Advantage. The savings amount to about $716 billion.
Tiptons campaign manager, Michael Fortney, said the Republicans would use the $700 billion savings for a very different purpose than Obama.
The plan congressman Tipton voted for will take that $700 billion and move it into a Medicare trust fund to save Medicare. Sal Pace endorses a plan that raids Medicare of $700 billion to pay for other entitlement programs. Thats a big difference. Sal Pace will defund Medicare while congressman Tipton will protect it, Fortney said in an email.
Pace criticized Tipton for voting, in the same Republican budgets, to convert Medicare into a voucher for seniors to buy private insurance.
Countless seniors across the 3rd district over 70,000 seniors who call the 3rd district home like my father, would be devastated by Tipton if they had to buy insurance in the private market. Clearly this ad is an attempt to draw attention away from those facts, Pace said in a news release.

A lot of the time I get weird questions and interesting scenarios posed to me by my players and other DMs. Well the suggestions and advice I dish out go largely forgotten because of my own poor memory. Recently I was approached by another DM, one of my 'disciples' as I call them and she wanted to create a blog for DM/GM advise. So consider this a shameless plug!
Being a DM or GM can be difficult at times, but also rewarding. It takes some imagination, patience, and a dash of masochism at times depending on your players. When I started out I was awkward and unsure of myself and I had a very basic grasp on the rules of 1st edition Dungeons and Dragons. During my first session I was a nervous bundle of Um, Let me look that up, and I dont know just roll me something! and all of that is to be expected. Nineteen years later I can quote rules straight
When tax return season came around my wife and I gave each other a good chunk of change to spend on anything we wanted. I opted to purchase and pre-purchase every single D&D 4th edition book I could get my sweaty little nerd-gamer hands on. This included Dark Sun's two manuals and the Psionic Handbook that is coming out.
Seeing those two fated words together brought me back to my youth. I still own both editions of the Dark Sun campaign setting. Indeed I still own EVERY RPG book
I have been DMing for a very long time. Previously my gaming groups have consisted of friends and family all gathered in my mother's living room. When I moved out it migrated to my own living room. Now that I have my own place and plenty of room, the perfect table, miniatures, battle mats, scenery, books, and everything else you need I am hesitant to let strangers into my house to game. Especially since my daughter (Now over a month old) is born and in the house.
On top of the time

You should not take carvedilol if you have asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, severe liver disease, or a serious heart condition such as heart block, "sick sinus syndrome," or slow heart rate (unless you have a pacemaker).
What is carvedilol?
Carvedilol is a beta-blocker. Beta-blockers affect the heart and circulation (blood flow through arteries and veins).
Carvedilol is used to treat heart failure and hypertension (high blood pressure). It is also used after a heart attack that has caused your heart not to pump as well.
Carvedilol may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking carvedilol?
You should not take carvedilol if you are allergic to it, or if you have:
- asthma, bronchitis, emphysema;
- severe liver disease; or
- a serious heart condition such as heart block, "sick sinus syndrome," or slow heart rate (unless you have a pacemaker).
To make sure carvedilol is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:
- diabetes (taking carvedilol can make it harder for you to tell when you have low blood sugar);
- angina (chest pain);
- liver or kidney disease;
- a thyroid disorder;
- pheochromocytoma (tumor of the adrenal gland);
- circulation problems (such as Raynaud's syndrome); or

How should I take carvedilol?
Follow all directions on your prescription label. Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results. Do not take this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
Carvedilol works best if you take it with food.
You may open the carvedilol capsule and sprinkle the medicine into a spoonful of pudding or applesauce to make swallowing easier. Swallow right away without chewing. Do not save the mixture for later use. Discard the empty capsule.
Take carvedilol at the same time every day. Do not skip doses or stop taking carvedilol without first talking to your doctor. Stopping suddenly may make your condition worse.
If you are switched from carvedilol tablets to carvedilol extended-release capsules (Coreg CR), your daily total dose of this medicine may be higher or lower than before. Older adults may be more likely to become dizzy or feel faint when switching from tablets to extended-release capsules. Follow your doctor's instructions.
Your blood pressure will need to be checked often.
If you are being treated for high blood pressure, keep using this medication even if you feel well. High blood pressure often has no symptoms. You may need to use blood pressure medication for the rest of your life.
If you need surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are using carvedilol. You may need to stop using the medicine for a short time.
You should not stop using carvedilol suddenly. Stopping suddenly may make your condition worse.
Carvedilol can affect your pupils during cataract surgery. Tell your eye surgeon ahead of time that you are using this medication. Do not stop using carvedilol before surgery unless your surgeon tells you to.

What should I avoid while taking carvedilol?
Carvedilol may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be alert.
Drinking alcohol can further lower your blood pressure and may increase certain side effects of carvedilol. You should especially avoid drinking alcohol within 2 hours before or after taking extended-release carvedilol (Coreg CR).
Avoid getting up too fast from a sitting or lying position, or you may feel dizzy. Get up slowly and steady yourself to prevent a fall.

Hair Salon in Johannesburg before I go into the points to help you choose your hairdresser, I should first outline the definition of what is a mobile hairdresser? A Mobile Hair Cutting Service is a hairdresser who usually works for his or herself visiting clients at their homes or place of work, or any other agreed venue and does not operate from a fixed hair salon or beauty shop.
Discover Mobile Services for Eyelash Extensions in Southport
1.When to consider using a mobile hairdresser. The services of a mobile hairstylist may often be required to be used at a home for a wedding when it may often be inconvenient for the bride to travel to a hair or beauty salon to have her hair and her make-up done, requiring her then to travel back to her home to put on her wedding gown. Instead, the hairdresser will travel to the bride's home in order to style the bride's hair for her special day. A Home Hair Care Services hairstylist is often in demand for Care homes, hospitals, prisons, the armed forces, and in many other situations where individual attention is required.
Is Mobile Hairdressing Worth It?
4. Always Use a qualified hairdresser. As with Salon hairdressers, your mobile hairdresser should hold formal hairdressing qualifications. The UK national Vocational Qualification in Hairdressing (NVQ) is the only recognized qualification system, and more than 60% of mobile hairstylists are now trained to this standard. They should also hold professional indemnity insurance.
Your mobile hairdresser should be happy and prepared to recommend the perfect hairdos and often make-up to accentuate and compliment the individual looks of the customer, and offer suggestions on what hairstyle or make up should best suit the client.
Hair Salon in Johannesburg ?
Hairdressing is one of the many trades that can be carried out in a clients home. Hairdressers only need a pair of scissors a small stock of products comb and other accessories to cut and style a persons hair. But is it worth it? below I discuss some of the pros and cons of mobile hairdressing and perhaps uncover some little known truths.
I hope this article maybe useful to someone who is thinking of starting up in mobile hairdressing and help them to assess which is the best route to take salon based or mobile.
So you have a car, have all your tools a client list and decide to go into the flexible working of being mobile. You can book clients in when you want as much of what will allow get up late arrive home early?
Firstly nowadays if you use a car for business you must have the correct insurance often this will incur a higher premium. There could be an argument that the car is just insured for "personal" use social and pleasure and that if you had an accident that you would just say you where visiting a relative? Insurance companies are more and more tightening there belts and looking for people outside of the scope of this they may ask to prove you where on holiday from work or proof of travel.
Do your research
This is the most important part before going into any new venture and its also the part that most people get wrong partly because of their desire to live the dream. Be hard on your plan scrutinize the competition how many the what why where and how. Also look at the possibility of future competition and threat of reducing your market.
Allot of people do not really Analise there costs, when I mean costs I mean true costs down to the penny, here's an example.
Outgoings cost of car payment, car tax, insurance,fuel, wear and tear, cost of equipment and stock, fair wear and tear to equipment, necessary taxes. Add all this up on a yearly then monthly and drill down to a daily basis this will give you an idea of where you need to start from.
Best of luck
How to Become a Successful Mobile Hairdresser
Hairdressing by definition is the styling of ones hair employing various techniques including hair cutting, hair colouring, styling and various hair treatment options. This is usually executed by qualified and professionally trained people in the art of styling and cutting hair.
One would normally visit a hairdressing or beauty salon to have this performed however it is common today to have home visits as well by a mobile hairdresser. Hairdressing involves using a number of tools to complete the job such as hair straighteners, hair dryers, hair clippers, trimmers as well as the several number of hair care products available to help attain that ultimate style. The most crucial item in a hairdressers toolbox is of course the scissors. There are practically dozens of different types of scissors available on the market and the hairdresser will have his or her favourite make and style. Of the numerous kinds offered you have the traditional standard scissors as well as kinds that thin the hair and left handed ones too.
In order to remain ahead of the competition a good hairdressing salon has to constantly update there staff members skills and knowledge. New styles are showing up constantly and having the means to provide the desired service will help your business develop. Customers will always prefer a salon that provides a substantial and varied choice, not simply for their hair and skin but also their budgets too. One last note to consider prior to getting any kind of hairdressing equipment is to be sure that it adheres to any required security standards.

Australian bowling coach David Saker has compared England paceman James Anderson and spinner Graeme Swann to legendary Glenn McGrath and Shane Warne.
Saker said when Anderson and Swann bowl in tandem it reminisces him of the combination of Australian greats McGrath and Warne. Anderson and Swann so far have shared 455 Test wickets between them, a figure which is quite distant from the combined tally of 1271 of the two Australians, who retired in 2007.
"When Jimmy and Swann bowl together it is not unlike McGrath and Warnie at times. McGrath and Warne in tandem were amazing but I have seen some spells from Jimmy and Swanny that have been just as good or better at times," Saker, a former Victoria and Tasmania seamer, said.
"In Sri Lanka (earlier this year) there were a couple of times, especially late on day four in the second Test, when those two reminded me so much of McGrath and Warne. They put so much pressure on the Sri Lankan batting group and the wickets fell," Saker was quoted as saying by 'The Australian'.
Saker also said England's bowling depth was reminiscent of the successful Australia teams of the 1990s and early 2000s. "McGrath was the stand-out in that group but they had Brett Lee, Jason Gillespie, Andy Bichel...they were all fantastic bowlers," he said.
"This group is very skillful too. What they do really well is assess conditions quickly. They will see if it is swinging and, if so, they will stick to our original plans. If it is not doing that, they will come up with some other plan."

Syria rebel commanders reject leadership shakeup
February 19, 2014
BEIRUT (AP) — The former leader of the Western-backed Syrian opposition's military wing on Wednesday rejected his recent dismissal, and along with more than a dozen senior insurgent commanders severed ties with the political opposition-in-exile, further fragmenting the notoriously divided rebel movement.
The statement from Gen. Salim Idris comes two days after the opposition Syrian National Coalition announced that Idris had been sacked as head of the Supreme Military Council and replaced by Brig. Gen. Abdul-Ilah al-Bashir — an experienced, moderate field commander from southern Syria. The move was widely seen as an attempt to restructure the military council and to persuade Western allies to boost their support for mainstream rebels trying to oust President Bashar Assad.
Moderate opposition fighters have been eclipsed over the past year by ultraconservative Islamic groups and extremist factions that have emerged as the most powerful brigades on the rebel side. But the move also holds the potential to further fracture rebel ranks and sap what little strength the military council currently has.
In a video posted online Wednesday, Idris said that after consulting with forces inside Syria, he and the 15 other signatories of the statement were breaking ties with the council and the opposition's political leadership.
"We stress that all that emanates from them does not concern us in any way," he said, reading from the statement. Sitting at the head of a table and flanked by men dressed in fatigues, Idris said he has been asked to overhaul the rebel military leadership, and called on all rebel forces on the ground to rally under his command. He also accused some members of the political and military opposition of making decisions based on "individual and personal interests."
Most of the other men in the video could not be immediately identified, but among the statement's signatories were regional front commanders. It was not clear what impact Idris' break with the council and the political opposition abroad would have, or whether the rift caused by the general's dismissal could be mended.
But the Coalition sought to head off any dispute over the council's leadership, issuing a statement late Wednesday reaffirming al-Bashir's appointment. It also confirmed that al-Bashir was assuming his new duties immediately.
Still, Charles Lister, a visiting fellow at the Brookings Doha Center, described Idris' move as a potentially significant development. "He appears to enjoy the support of a wide range of senior commanders whose zones of command cross Syria," Lister said by email. "Until the dust settles, this essentially leaves Syria with two military opposition councils," — one under Idris and another al-Bashir.
And the longer the division continues, he said, "the more dangerous it could be for the long-term viability of the SMC." Idris was named the head of the Supreme Military Council shortly after it was formed in late 2012. During his time in command, Idris, a secular-leaning moderate, was criticized by many in the opposition for being ineffective and lost the confidence of the U.S. and its allies, particularly after Islamic extremists seized a weapons depot from moderate rebels.
Washington and its European allies have long tried to mold the Council's Free Syrian Army into an effective partner inside Syria. But the loose umbrella group was always seen as weak, with Western and Arab allies dithering over whether to give them powerful weapons. The group eventually fell into disarray and in the past year has been overshadowed by more powerful Islamic groups and the rise of al-Qaida-inspired extremist factions.
Inside Syria, meanwhile, an official with the Syrian Arab Red Crescent said aid workers have evacuated 11 more people, mostly Christians, from besieged areas in the central city of Homs. Khaled Erksoussi, head of operations for the Red Crescent, said the 11 left rebel-held districts in Old Homs that have been under government blockade for more than a year. Government and rebel fighters are battling for control of Homs, Syria's third largest city.
More than 1,000 people have been evacuated from Homs since a humanitarian truce went into effect on Feb.7.

for Sunday, April 26, 2015
In the Acts of the Apostles today, we hear Saint Peter still arguing with
the leaders of the Jewish people of his time. The reason for this argument
is that the leaders of the people want the followers of Jesus to quit
proclaiming Him as God, to quit doing miracles and to stop drawing others
into this early Christian movement. Better than this opposition is the
advice of Gamaliel in the Gospel: if this work is of only human origin, it
will come to nothing. If it is from God, then nothing can stop it. We
human tend to argue rather than to wait. On the other hand, you and I live
in a time distant from the beginnings and can see that the followers of
Christ were successful in spite of persecutions.
But what is success? Does it mean that we now have a Christian world? If
that is the criterion, we live a grand failure! Does it mean that
Christians have power? Again, if that is the criterion, we live another
grand failure! If the criterion is the conversion of hearts to God, then
there is some moderate success in every age.
The First Letter of John reminds us that we are children of God. The
author is not sure what that will mean and neither do we know. Yet we know
that it is about God's love for us and invites our response to that love.
The Gospel today, from Saint John, is about the Good Shepherd. Jesus is
not afraid to call Himself the Good Shepherd. He is the one who lays down
His life for us. How easily we forget that. Instead we begin to look for
our own advantage rather than looking for how we can join our lives to that
of Jesus and share in His love for our world.
Easter is about joy and gladness and salvation - coming because Jesus rose
from the dead after He died for us. We marvel at the Resurrection because,
like those early followers, we find it difficult to believe that someone
could die for us, and really die! Even more difficult to believe is that
Jesus rose from the dead. All of this is difficult only if we do not
believe that Jesus is Lord and God for us all.
You and I are invited in this time of Easter to renew our personal
relationship with Jesus. We are invited to deepen our knowledge of all
that happened in Him and through Him. We are invited to walk with Jesus on
the Way and give our lives for others. Christ is risen, alleluia! May we
be one with Him.
Reflections are available for the following Sundays:

The Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library, in joint partnership with Shawnee County Parks and Recreation, invites the community to try out the new computers at the community centers.
An Open House is set for 10am May 15 at Central Park Community Center, 1534 SW Clay St., one of six centers that saw upgrades this spring. Robinson Middle School students will be in attendance to demonstrate the new touch-screen computers.
The new PCs offer users free Internet, Microsoft Office, resume software, access to the library catalog and printing. Rice, Central Park, Garfield, Crestview, Hillcrest, and Oakland received new equipment in mid-April. Shawnee North and Velma Paris Community Centers will be upgraded in 2014 after broadband Internet access is available at those sites.
"This is a cost-effective and innovative way to provide wider access to our collection and services while partnering with an entity that's as committed as we are to creating a quality of life for our community," said Thad Hartman, Community and Strategic Services Manager at the library.
Users will be encouraged to use their library card to log on. Those who do will be given one hour of time, compared to non-library cardholders who will receive 30 minutes.
Look for this partnership to bring new programs to a neighborhood near you. Working with Parks and Recreation, the library plans to develop new programs at these sites, including computer, cooking, outdoor and children's programs.
The library and county are sharing an information technology employee to maintain the new technology and provide training as necessary. This person's salary and benefits are split between the two entities.
The Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library has about 170 public computers, offers free Internet and Wi-Fi access, and provides free computer training. Your library is a 21st-century, landmark library, and features the Alice C. Sabatini Art Gallery, the Millennium Café, Chandler Booktique and meeting rooms.

Wind chill: Is it serious science or hype?

The calculations for wind chill are based on temperature and wind
speeds, usually taken at a nearby airport. While the wind speed is
adjusted for the difference between the 33-foot wind instrument and
the height of 5 feet, it is still based on winds at the airport in a
wide-open area. Areas in town with many mature trees may have
significantly lower wind speeds.
Conversely, winds between tall buildings in places like downtown
Chicago may be much higher. Therefore, the wind chill at a
particular location may be much different from that reported at the
The wind chill formula is based on bare skin of a healthy adult,
and vulnerability to frostbite or hypothermia can be higher for the
elderly and small children. On the other hand, covering bare skin
and wearing appropriate clothing greatly reduces the effects of the
cold and wind.
Sunshine is not included in the formula even though it has the
potential to moderate the effects of wind chill during the daylight

An accurate wind chill forecast requires both an accurate
temperature forecast and an accurate wind forecast. Anytime
there is a prediction of two separate weather variables, in this

limitations, the risk of frostbite or hypothermia from severe cold,

There have already been a lot of stories in the Twins minor league system this spring. The Twins have called down to Rochester seven times already. There have been weather postponements frequently with the Red Wings, the New Britain Rock Cats and the Beloit Snappers. There were guys who got off to a fast start who have slowed. There are guys who got off to slow starts that are doing much better.
For instance, last year's minor league hitter of the year, Joe Benson, was hitting .385 with 11 extra base hits one week ago. Since, he is 2-23 and has no hits in his last 16 at bats. He is still an honorable mention for player of the month, but his numbers are now down to .295/.365/.500 with eight doubles, a triple, two home runs and 12 RBI. He is also 4-4 in steal attempts.
On the flip-side, early in the week, Ben Revere's batting average had fallen to .203. Some were asking how long until he would be demoted to Double-A. He then had nine hits in his next 11 at bats and is now over .280.
So, we have to be careful with April numbers, but is fun to recognize some guys who are off to a very good start. Today, I will post my top 5 choices for Twins minor league hitter of the month. Tomorrow, I will point out the top 5 Twins starting pitchers for April as well as highlight a couple of relievers that deserve recognition.
Before getting to the Top 5, here are some guys who just missed the admittedly subjective list:
- Rochester - Trevor Plouffe (23-82) .261/.333/.551 with three doubles, one triple, five home runs and 12 RBI.
- Rochester - Rene Tosoni (20-70) .286/.329/.500 with six doubles, three home runs and 15 RBI.
- New Britain - Joe Benson (23-78) .295/.360/.500 with eight doubles, a triple, two home runs and 12 RBI.
- New Britain - Steve Singleton (25-82) .305/.321/.512 with 11 doubles, two homers and six RBI.
Number 5 - Ft. Myers - Danny Rams - Catcher (23-68) .338/.392/.500 with four doubles, two triples, a home run and ten RBI.
Rams came to big league campe for the second straight year as a non-roster invitee. He has spent the past two years at Beloit where he has always shown tremendous power, but making contact has been a huge issue. He made a very good impression in big league camp and advanced to Hi-A Ft. Myers to start this season. He does have 21 strikeouts in about 75 plate appearances, so that is something he will need to continue to work on, but it is an improvement. The Florida native is much improved behind the plate as well.
Number 4 - Ft. Myers - Chris Herrmann - C/OF (27-81) .333/.417/.457 with five doubles, a triple, a home run and 16 RBI.
Herrmann was also invited to Twins big league camp as a non-roster invite. The Twins drafted him as a catcher, but he has been primarily used in the outfield where he is tremendous with the glove and has a strong arm. He is still mainly playing in the outfield this year, but he catches when Rams plays 1B or DH. He has already had a 12 game hitting streak this season. He has a tremendous eye at the plate. Herrmann was a 6th round pick in 2009 out of The U, and he was one of few hitting prospects that the Twins have had skip the Midwest League. He struggled last year in Ft. Myers, but he has a fluid swing, a great eye, and I'm sure it's great to see him get off to such a strong start.
Number 3 - New Britain - Yangervis Solarte - IF/OF (28-78) .359/.367/.577 with nine doubles, a triple, two home runs and 12 RBI.
The last couple of years, there is little question that Solarte can hit. He has hit for average and shown glimpses of some power. He was Ft. Myers' best hitter while with them in 2010, and he did well when he moved up to New Britain. However, it wasn't long before he was hurt and went back to Ft. Myers when he was healthy. Injuries have been one problem, and as you can see from his numbers above, walking is also a problem. Solarte definitely likes to swing the bat. The lack of walks makes his value dependent upon his batting average, but for April, he had a great month.
Number 2 - Beloit - Oswaldo Arcia - DH (25-71) .352/.420/.704 with eight doubles, a triple, five home runs and 18 RBI.
Lots of Twins prospects had good to really good months, but the choice for player of the month really came down to two Beloit Snappers. Last year, Arcia was the Appalachian League MVP when he hit .375 with 21 doubles, seven triples and 14 home runs for Elizabethton. He will turn 20 next week, but he has had no problem adjusting to the Midwest League, even with its crazy weather. In fact, his strikeout rate and walk rates have improved, and he continues to show power. When I saw him in spring training, he would put on a display in the batting cage, and then come out and grab hold of his elbow. Clearly something wasn't right, and he has only DHd this month. He is experiencing soreness in his throwing shoulder and elbow. He is a tremendous prospect because he is also a very good defensive outfielder with a good arm and enough speed to play CF if needed. Arcia is a big, strong kid with immense talent.
The April Minnesota Twins Minor League Hitter of the Month is...
Beloit Snappers OF Daniel Ortiz (26-69) .377/.429/.768 with seven doubles, a triple, six home runs and 15 RBI.
The Twins drafted Ortiz in the 4th round of the 2008 draft. He had a solid debut, but a knee injury cost him the entire 2009 season. So, last year, he returned to Extended Spring Training and played for Elizabethton. As expected, he started slowly, but his eight home runs in August are why I dubbed him the Twins Breakout Player of the Year for 2011. So far, so good. While Arcia is 6-0 and 210, Ortiz is maybe 5-11 and listed at just 166 pounds. Reports in previous years told me that the ball just jumped off his bats. Teammates were amazed at his power because of how small he is. I must admit that when I saw him in Ft. Myers this spring, I was in awe. I had big hopes but no one could have convinced me that the Puerto Rico native would put up these kinds of numbers in April in Beloit! He is also a very good outfielder who can play all three positions.
Again, there have been some real positives in the Twins minor league system in April, but what Daniel Ortiz and Oswaldo Arcia did was incredible. Again, I'll discuss the pitchers of the month of April tomorrow, so be sure to check back.
Please feel free to discuss and ask questions.

Pharmaceutical Sector Country Profiles aim to increase the availability of quality information on structures, processes and outcomes of health and pharmaceutical sectors of countries. This information will be collected through a questionnaire and is meant to be used by country decision-makers, health and pharmaceutical experts, international partners and the public through databases and published country, regional and global reports.
The information is categorized in nine sections, namely:
- Health and Demographic data,
- Health Services,
- Medicines Policies,
- Medicines Trade and Production,
- Medicines Regulation,
- Medicines Financing,
- Pharmaceutical Procurement and distribution,
- Selection and Rational Use and
- Household data/access.
Every four years since 1999, health officials from the 193 WHO Member States have been invited to complete a standardized questionnaire (named Level I) reporting on the status of the national pharmaceutical situation. Level I indicators assessed structures and processes related to the pharmaceutical situation of a country. They were used to carry out a rapid assessment that would highlight strengths and weaknesses of countries pharmaceutical situations. 156 countries responded to the 2007 level I survey and the results were stored and available in a global WHO database and used to develop a global report as well as a number of regional and sub-regional reports. The Pharmaceutical Sector Country Profile questionnaire described here will replace the Level I tool for the 2011 Member States' survey. The aim of this new approach is to build on the achievements and lessons learnt from the Level I tools and surveys and to improve the quality and scope of information (e.g, outcomes and results indicators) and enhance the involvement and ownership of countries in the development of profiles. The new tool has been piloted in the 15 countries of the Southern African Development Community in 2009 and in 13 countries across the world in 2010. The results of these pilots are available on-line at:
Another innovation of the 2011 survey is the collaboration between WHO and The Global Fund. In 2009, the Global Fund developed and introduced the Pharmaceutical and Health Product Management ("PHPM") Country Profile to gradually replace the Procurement and Supply Management ("PSM") Plan. In the course of 2010 both agencies have developed a joint Pharmaceutical Sector Country Profile questionnaire that includes key indicators of the pharmaceutical sector and that will be used by both agencies as the sole tool for pharmaceutical sector data collection in countries. The information captured in the Pharmaceutical Sector Country Profile questionnaire will be used by the Global Fund during grant negotiations and signing, and will also support grant implementation. In addition to the Country Profile that provides an overview of countries' pharmaceutical sectors, the Global Fund will also use a second questionnaire that will focus in more detail on medicines procurement and supply.

NOUAKCHOTT, Mauritania — Mey Mint struggles to carry her weight up the flight of stairs, her thighs shaking with each step. It will take several minutes for the 50-year-old to catch her breath, air hissing painfully in and out of her chest.
Her rippling flesh is not the result of careless overeating, though, but rather of a tradition.
In Mauritania, to make a girl big and plump, 'gavage' — a borrowed French word from the practice of fattening of geese for foie gras — starts early. Obesity has long been the ideal of beauty, signaling a family's wealth in a land repeatedly wracked by drought.
Mint was 4 when her family began to force her to drink 14 gallons of camel's milk a day. When she vomited, she was beaten. If she refused to drink, her fingers were bent back until they touched her hand. Her stomach hurt so much she prayed all the animals in the world would die so that there would be no more milk.
By the time Mint was 10, she could no longer run. Unconcerned, her proud mother delighted in measuring the loops of fat hanging under her daughter's arms.
"My mother thinks she made me beautiful. But she made me sick," says Mint, who suffers from weight-related illnesses including diabetes and heart disease. She asked that her full last name not be disclosed because she feels embarrassed.
A quarter of the 1.5 million women in Mauritania — a barren, dune-enveloped country in northwest Africa more than twice the size of Texas — are obese, according to the World Health Organization. That's lower than the 40 percent of American women who the WHO says are obese, but surprisingly high in a country that has not a single fast-food franchise.
Public health via love songs
To end the brutal feeding practices, the government has launched a TV and radio campaign highlighting the health risks of obesity. Because most Mauritanian love songs describe the ideal woman as fat, the health ministry commissioned catchy odes to thin women.
These efforts, combined with the rising popularity of foreign soap operas featuring model-thin women, has helped reduce the practice, especially among the country's urban elite.
Only one in 10 women under the age of 19 has been force-fed, compared to a third of women 40 or older, according to a survey conducted by the National Office of Statistics in 2001, the most recent available.
Those still forced to eat were overwhelmingly from the country's rural areas.

More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

But although the canon of beauty is changing, entrenched values are hard to uproot.
"My husband thinks I'm not fat enough," complained Zeinabou Mint Bilkhere, explaining that her husband found her pretty during the last months of her pregnancy. Since giving birth, the weight has dropped, however, and with it his desire for her.
Appetite-inducing pills
Although few women are force-fed today, many feel pressured to be bigger-than-average. Like many, Bilkhere has turned to a more scientific method of weight gain, using foreign-made appetite-inducing pills.
Wrapped in a floor-length veil, the 24-year-old, who is roughly a size 8, opens her purse and pushes a fistful of change across the counter of a roadside pharmacy for a box of Anactine, a Moroccan-made antihistamine.
The pills, commonly prescribed for hay fever, also induce hunger. They and similar drugs replace a more blunt instrument, recently outlawed by the government: animal steroids intended for fattening camels.
"When I was little, my mother hit me to eat because I didn't want to be fat. Now I want to be big because men like that," said Bilkhere, who wants to gain more than 20 pounds.
But many men say they prefer voluptuous women.
Isselmou Ould Mohamed says he loves his wife's 200-pound body and was pleased when she began adding even more weight during pregnancy. When he learned she had started walking around the soccer stadium to try to shed the extra pounds, he was revolted.
More to love
"I don't like skinny women. I want to be able to grab her love handles," said the 32-year-old. "I told her that if she loses a lot of weight, I'll divorce her."
Although Mauritania is the only culture known to force-feed girls, obesity is popular across much of the Arab world. Nomadic peoples struggling to survive the harsh desert came to prize fatness as a sign of health.
Fifty-two percent of women over 15 in Kuwait are obese, as are 46 percent in Egypt and approximately a third of women in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, according to the WHO. That contrasts sharply with most sub-Saharan countries, including Mauritania's neighbors, Senegal and Mali, where only 9 and 6 percent of women are obese.
"A man's goal is to marry a woman that fills his house. She needs to decorate it like an armoire or a TV set," said Seif l'Islam, 48, curator of a library of ancient Islamic manuscripts, which include numerous love poems to plump women.
There are signs of change. In the dying desert light, chubby women in head-to-toe veils can be seen perspiring as they walk around the capital's soccer stadium.
When she first started walking laps six years ago, 40-year-old Ramla Mint Ahmed said, she tightly veiled her face, hoping not to be recognized. Now she exercises openly and is dieting.
Her obese mother, who as a child was repeatedly woken at night and forced to drink camel's milk, says she doesn't object. But that doesn't mean her notions of beauty have changed.
Ahmed is the eldest of three daughters and the only overweight one. Her 22- and 26-year-old sisters are no larger than a size 4. In America, they would be envied for their tiny waists, yet their mother sees them differently.
Asked which daughter is the prettiest, she waves her hand dismissively toward the model-thin sisters, saying, "Definitely those two are not beautiful."
Her oldest daughter, like her, has garlands of fat on her belly and voluminous thighs.
"This one," says the mother, "has the face of a queen."
