Clubhouse Getting Bare
October 9, 2007
Gray clouds are hanging over Citizens Bank Park, a sign of Mother Nature's gloom since Game 5 of the NLDS was scheduled for here tonight.
The Phillies clubhouse is really getting bare. Chris Roberson, Michael Bourn and Chase Utley checked in today to clean out their lockers. All that remains are Jimmy Rollins' and Cole Hamels' lockers. Athletic trainers Scott Sheridan and Mark Andersen continue to pack things in their area.
The uniforms are now in a storage room at the rear of the clubhouse, waiting to be shipped to Clearwater next February.
For those of us in the front office, it too is time to clean off the desk, files, etc. When the season is over, vacation time kicks in for many of us.
That said, we also will start making plans for 2008. First meeting is tomorrow.

Great season Phillies !!!!…we're disappointed only in not being able to still watch you play. We're proud of you and what you bring to the game…a great example for my kids of giving 100% and then some and never giving up!!!!Thanks for fun ride…we'll be there next year to cheer you on and see you go all the way!!
I'm just happy that we made the playoffs for the first time in 14 years. Plus there's always next year.
I'm just happy we made the playoffs. Even though we didn't make it past the first round, i'm still happy. There's always next year.
I was born a Phillies fan, but the 93 Phils were my favorite bunch…until now.The strike hit and I lost a lot of interest in baseball until I got to know these guys! They captured my heart! They make you feel like you've known them all your lives! My heartfelt thanks to each and everyone of the 2007 Phillies for appreciating us, the fans.

This is very similar to my own recipe. I use cream rather than milk and much less (I like mine thick). I also add some rosemary, sage, thyme and a garlic clove. Sometimes I put some sharp cheddar cheese directly in the soup. The cream keeps it fluid and also prevents it from sticking to the pan. Alternatively, you can also try adding a country gravy packet or some cabbage or a can of cream of mushroom for different flavor profiles. This is a very good base recipe.

I had high hopes for this recipe and it didn't even come close to tasting good. There was no flavor it tasted like it was missing something really big. I had to put cheese and extra salt and pepper and it still wasn't great. Definitely won't be making this again.

very good! this is the first potato soup recipe that i've made that actually came out good!
Nov 1, 2010
I made this for a church party last night and everyone loved it.
Feb 15, 2010
I love this recipe. I did add one can of cream of chicken soup, one can of carrots, one can of corn & a couple dashes of nutmeg! This is honestly the best tasting potato & bacon chowder I've ever had!
Jul 14, 2009
This was quite tasty and easy to make. I did add a few extra spices though, just because I like them. I added: sweet basil, rosemary, parsley flakes, and italian seasoning. Also, I froze the leftovers for a quick meal.

Diarrhea (loose poop) and
vomiting, or "throwing up," are why many parents call the doctor.
Your child's doctor may call this gastroenteritis (GAS-
troh-en-tur-EYE-tis). These symptoms are often caused by a
Your child may first have a fever and some vomiting.
Diarrhea often starts later. The symptoms usually go away in a day or two. But
they can last a week before getting better.
One danger with diarrhea and vomiting is that your
child's body can get dried out or dehydrated (dee-hye-DRAY-dud). This
happens when the body loses too much water.
…your child has diarrhea, vomiting, and is
younger than 6 months or your child has:
A fever over 102°F or
Blood in the stool (poop) or vomit.
Green vomit.
Vomiting for more than 12 hours or diarrhea
for more than 2 days.
Belly pain.
. ..your child has any of these signs of being too
Pees very little (wets fewer than 6 diapers
per day)
Has no tears when crying
Can't or won't drink anything
or feels very thirsty
Has a dry, sticky mouth, or dry lips
Looks like he or she has lost weight
Has sunken eyes or sunken soft spot on head
(for babies)
Acts very tired or strange
Most of the time you can treat this by getting your
child to drink something and eat simple foods.
(See the list below.)
But your child may need a special fluid that you can
buy in a store. It's called an electrolyte drink*. If your child
can't drink this, then he or she may need to go to the hospital.
Call your child's doctor if vomiting or
diarrhea won't go away. The doctor may want to check your child.
For children 1 year old or older, these simple foods and drinks are
Wheat bread or pasta
Boiled or baked potatoes
Cereal, like oatmeal
Boiled egg
Lean meat like chicken
Fruits and vegetables (cooked)
Bananas and applesauce
Yogurt or milk
Breast milk or infant formula
Special electrolyte drinks
For all ages, don't give these foods or drinks:
Fatty foods like French fries, chips,
ice cream, cheese, or fried meats
Sugary foods like candy, cookies, or
Sugary drinks like juices or soda pop or
very salty broths or soups when diarrhea is bad
Never give boiled
For children younger than 1 year check with your child's
Give small sips of clear fluids every 10 to
15 minutes.
If your child keeps vomiting but is NOT dry,
wait 1 to 2 hours before trying again. Stop if your child starts to
throw up again, and call the doctor.
If your child is keeping down fluids and
wants to eat, try giving small amounts of simple foods. See the chart on
simple foods on the first page of this handout.
Remember, if you are worried or don't know
what to do, call your child's doctor.
Most diarrhea lasts 3 to 6 days or even longer.
Don't worry as long as your child acts well and is eating and drinking
and peeing like usual.
Most children should keep eating normal foods
when they have mild diarrhea.
The doctor may suggest changing what your child
eats for a few days. This might mean stopping cow's milk, but
breastfeeding your baby is fine.
Children with moderate diarrhea can be cared for
at home.
They need special fluids, like
electrolyte drinks. Talk with the doctor about how much and how long
to give these and which to buy.
Some children can't handle
cow's milk when they have diarrhea. They may need to stop
drinking it for a few days. Breastfeeding is fine for babies.
As your child gets better, he or she can
go back to normal foods.
See the "Call the Doctor If" list.
Call the doctor right away if your child shows any of those warning signs.
You may need to take your child to the emergency room for treatment.
A. Try to give small sips of clear
fluids every 10 to 15 minutes. If vomiting continues, call your
child's doctor.
A. A child with diarrhea can
usually drink and eat most foods. If there is enough diarrhea to make your
child very thirsty, he or she needs a special fluid called an electrolyte
Soda pop, soups, and juices are OK for a child
with mild diarrhea. But don't give these to a child with bad
diarrhea. They have the wrong amounts of sugar and salt and can make your
child sicker. Boiled skim milk is dangerous for all children. Sports drinks
may be used for school-aged children.
As soon as the dryness (dehydration) clears up,
let children eat simple foods. See the list of foods on the first page of
this handout. They can have as much as they want.
A. These do not
help in most cases. They can sometimes be harmful. Never use them unless
your child's doctor tells you to.
Do watch for signs of
Do call the doctor if your child has
a high fever, has blood in his or her stool (poop), or starts
acting different than normal.
Do keep feeding your child if he or
she is not throwing up.
Do give your child special
electrolyte drinks if your child is thirsty.
Don't try to make your own
electrolyte drinks.
Don't give your child boiled
Don't use
"anti-diarrhea" medicines unless told to by the

Mich. governor criticizes ad as too right-to-work
- Michigan passed right-to-work legislation in December
- Gov. Rick Snyder thinks the focus of the ad should have been broader
- Law is creating at least two new taxpayer-funded jobs %u2014 a specialist and a clerical worker
LANSING, Mich. — A recent ad placed in the Wall Street Journal touting Michigan's recent passage of controversial right-to-work legislation garnered mild criticism from Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder on Monday.
The Michigan Economic Development Corp. ad that ran in the newspaper last week referenced the law, which makes it illegal to require financial support of a union as a condition of employment, above the Pure Michigan logo.
"I would not have been emphasizing one issue the way it was emphasized in that ad," Snyder told reporters Monday after a luncheon address to the Michigan Agri-Business Association.
"I would have preferred it had had a much broader definition," of what makes Michigan a desirable place to locate a business, including elements such as the elimination of the Michigan Business Tax in 2011, he said.
But Snyder said the popular Pure Michigan brand has been used for business promotion — on top of its former use for tourism promotion — for two years.
"They're professionals," and "I didn't review the ad" in advance, he said.
A Michigan Economic Development Corp. spokesman could not immediately be reached for comment.
The ad, which officials said cost $144,000, brought a storm of criticism by marketing experts and others who said it could damage the Pure Michigan brand to associate it with a divisive issue such as the right-to-work law.
Snyder signed right-to-work legislation into law in December, five days after he came out in favor of it after saying for two years it was too divisive and not on his agenda. The Legislature passed it without public hearings during a demonstration at the Capitol that drew an estimated 12,500 people.
Meanwhile, the new law is creating at least two jobs — new state government workers paid for by taxpayers.
On Monday, officials were going through 52 applications after Friday's deadline to apply for a new freedom to work specialist position in the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs.
The job will pay $76,000 to $106,000 a year, depending on experience, said Steve Arwood, the department's acting director.
The new state official will be assisted by one, and possibly two, clerical workers, Arwood told the Detroit Free Press.
"We have to implement a new law, which is really no different than any time we get a new program," Arwood said. "This is a pretty significant law."
The officials will be responsible for preparing and distributing workplace notices about the law, which takes effect March 27, Arwood said.
"There will be a tremendous amount of employer and employee-related seminars, where someone from the state is expected to come and talk about the law," Arwood said.
Applicants for the job are expected to either be lawyers or have experience in legal research.
Democrats and a union official representing state employees criticized the creation of the new specialist and clerical positions.
"It's ridiculous," said Ray Holman, legislative liaison for UAW Local 6000, the largest state employee union. "I'm looking here every day seeing the people I represent doing the work of two or three people," in departments such as human services, Holman said.
"For that type of money, you could hire two DHS (Department of Human Services) front-line workers," who typically make about $44,000 a year, he said.
There has been considerable debate about what effect right-to-work legislation would have on attracting new employers and jobs and there have been conflicting studies around the nation. Snyder has said he is confident the change will boost employment in Michigan and said the Michigan Economic Development Corp. has noticed an uptick in inquiries from employers considering Michigan as a location.

I'm ***uming that many fly fishers are also involved in shooting sports. I apologize, but I need to know today
I have a Mark III pistol. I was going to buy one of those metal or iron targets with rotating paddles that resets itself after shooting all paddles.
My question; is it safe to shoot with a pistol? I'll probably only be 8 to 10 yards away and I'm wondering about ricocheting bullets. Should that be a concern?
Again, I apologize this not being a fishing question.

He benefited from some good luck, more than his rotation mate Jon Lester did, which I'll mention below, but the fact is his ERA was 2.33.Buchholz is the 31st Red Sox starter to finish a season with an ERA as low as 2.33. As you might expect, 24 of those 31 seasons occurred from 1901-1919, aka Ye Olde Deadball Era. Since 1920, Buchholz is only the fourth Boston starter to have such a low ERA:
1944 - Tex Hughson 2.26 1990 - Roger Clemens 1.93 1999 - Pedro Martinez 2.07 2000 - Pedro Martinez 1.74 2002 - Pedro Martinez 2.26 2003 - Pedro Martinez 2.22 2010 - Clay Buchholz 2.33Buchholz's 187 ERA+ was the best in MLB. (ERA+ takes into account the parks a pitcher pitches in and the context of his league; 100 is average.) Josh Johnson of the Marlins led the National League at 182 and Seattle's Felix Hernandez was third at 174.
Buchholz is the youngest starter in Red Sox history to have an ERA+ over 185 (min. 115 innings and 75% of games as a starter):
Age ERA+ 1901 - Cy Young 34 217 1908 - Cy Young 41 195 1936 - Lefty Grove 36 189 1939 - Lefty Grove 39 185 1990 - Roger Clemens 27 213 1999 - Pedro Martinez 27 243 2000 - Pedro Martinez 28 295 2001 - Pedro Martinez 29 190 2002 - Pedro Martinez 30 202 2003 - Pedro Martinez 31 211 2010 - Clay Buchholz 25 187(Age is as of June 30 of any season.)
In 1912, Smoky Joe Wood was 22 years old and went 34-5, 1.91. However, since this was the Deadball Era, his ERA+ was "only" 179, second in the AL to Walter Johnson's 1.39 ERA / 243 ERA+.
Fangraphs recently referred to Buchholz as a prime example of someone who put up a "shiny ERA without necessarily having the underlying performance to match".
Buchholz did have a fair amount of good luck. He and Lester had identical WHIPs (walks and hits allowed per inning), but Lester's ERA was nearly a full run higher (3.25). Why?
The more I look at their stats, I see that Buchholz and Lester were nearly identical.
H/9 BB/9 K/9 HR/9 AVG OBP SLG BABIP WPA WAR Buchholz 7.4 3.5 6.2 0.5 .226 .303 .312 .263 3.6 5.4 Lester 7.2 3.6 9.7 0.6 .220 .303 .325 .291 3.5 5.0They were both among the top six pitchers in the AL in fewest hits and HR allowed per nine innings. Lester had a clear advantage in strikeouts; his 9.7/9 led the AL, actually.
The key difference is their batting average on balls in play, especially since (because of the difference in strikeouts) 71% of the batters Buchholz faced put the ball in play compared to only 61% for Lester.
The AL average BABIP in 2010 was .294 -- and Boston pitchers came in at .295. Buchholz's BABIP was the third lowest in the AL; Lester was 24th. However, pitchers generally have little control over their BABIP*, so someone with a very low or very high BABIP can be expected to regress to the mean the following season. (Which might bode well in 2011 for John ".320 BABIP" Lackey. ... Maybe.)
* In 1999, Pedro had one of the greatest pitching seasons of all time -- yet he had a .325 BABIP! In 2000, he was even better -- and his BABIP went way down to .237. In 2001, it was back up to .310.
Also, Buchholz's stats with men on base and RATS were much better than Lester's.
Bases Empty
Buchholz .243 .315 .350 .288
Lester .206 .294 .286 .298Men On Base
Buchholz .202 .287 .256 .230
Lester .240 .316 .379 .284RATS (Runners At Third and/or Second)
Buchholz .161 .273 .212 .188
Lester .225 .314 .382 .258Fielding Independent Pitching removes fielding and the vagaries of BABIP from consideration and measures the things for which a pitcher is specifically responsible. While not perfect, it is considered to be a better measure than ERA of how well a pitcher actually did -- presenting his performance as a context-neutral ERAesque number.
Buchholz's FIP in 2010 was 3.62, while Lester's was 3.14 (6th best in the AL). Again, I assume the difference is Lester's higher strikeout rate, since allowing fewer balls in play will mean fewer chances for hits to fall in.
All of this is not meant to denigrate Buchholz's 2010 performance. On my BBA ballot, which I will be posting about later as the full results are announced, I had him 2nd for the Walter Johnson Award (the BBA's version of the Cy Young Award). But if Buchholz's 2011 ERA shoots up to 3.50, he may still be pitching nearly as effectively as he did this year.

Character cookies. Yikes. This was my first attempt at a Disney Princess and it was way more work than expected. The tricky part is getting them to actually resemble that all too familiar and beloved leading lady.

The unspoilt countryside of Visperterminen, the Heida wine village at the entrance to the Visper valley, which lies 1,378m above sea level, is a paradise for walkers and offers a fantastic view of the gleaming white 4,000m peaks of the Valais and Bernese Alps.
The people of the village still celebrate their traditions and customs, with the annual Corpus Christi procession, for example, always attracting many visitors. Sports events in the village are also very popular. At the end of the season the traditional alpine "Alex Berchtold memorial slalom" takes place, a race in which many a world cup winner has gained victory.
In summer Visperterminen is known for its countless hiking paths. The chair lift brings you directly from the village to 2,000m above sea level, the ideal starting point for short or longer hikes. The unspoilt landscape with its clear mountain lakes, the "Suonen" irrigation channels and breathtaking view of the highest Swiss mountains will also enchant you. In the summer you can see cheese being made in the unspoilt village of Nanztal in the summer alps. If you are lucky you may even come across some of the large mountain animals in Nanztal, such as ibex, deer or roe deer. You can while away some peaceful hours in the village playing minigolf, taking a guided tour of the village museum or winetasting.
The mountain railways in Visperterminen provide easy access to a beautiful ski resort in the midst of the alps offering panoramic views of the highest mountains in Switzerland. This child-friendly, open area is guaranteed snow from Christmas to Easter, takes you to 2,300 metres above sea level and has 20 kilometres of ski slopes. It can be accessed by 1 chair lift, 2 T-bar lifts and 2 rope tows. Children can have fun on the sledging piste or attend the ski and snowboard school, which of course is also open to adults.
The exciting 7km-long sledging slope leading from Giw to Visperterminen is a fun adventure for the whole family. Every Friday the week's sledging anecdotes are recounted in a romantic ambiance combined with a delicious fondue.
Those looking for more peace and quiet can fully appreciate nature on the 15km-long winter hiking paths away from all the noise and activity or admire the magical, unspoilt winter scenery on a snowshoe hike. There are 12 kilometres of signposted snowshoe trails as well as our unique snowshoe trail on the theme of tracks in the snow.


text: More recent technologies for the more environmentally compatible use of large engines include gas and dual-fuel operation. The internal gas mixture formation from gas injection at 250 bar in combination with a diesel oil pilot injection gives the high-pressure gas engine a high specific cylinder output. Full performance can alternatively be obtained by liquid fuel operation. This process is made possible by injection systems using the Woodward L'Orange's unique multi-needle nozzle. Dual-fuel engines working with external gas mixture formation, according to the Otto principle, are more flexible in terms of fuel utilisation and result in even lower emissions. This type of injection is used in mobile applications (e. g. LNG tanker) and power plants with a changing gas supply. The end-user can choose to run on more economical, eco-friendly gas, alternatively to change over to liquid fuel during operation.

McDonald's New Chicago Flagship Eatery Is Super Futuristic
McDonald's made over its iconic Chicago restaurant to be its most futuristic-looking eatery yet, and its new U.S. flagship. The 19,000-square-foot space designed by Chicago-based Ross Barney Architects is full of floating glass gardens, touch-screens, and 27-foot windows. Even though the former "Rock 'n' Roll McDonald's" at the corner of Clark and Ontario now looks more like an Apple store than a place to get a Big Mac, rest assured it still carries all the fries, McNuggets, and McGriddles you could ever want.
"We are proud to open the doors to this flagship restaurant, which symbolizes how we are building a better McDonald's for our customers and the communities where they live," McDonald's president and CEO Steve Easterbrook said in a press release. "We have iconic flagship restaurants all around the world, but I would say that given that Chicago is the heartbeat of not just our U.S. business but our worldwide business, that we are standing here in the global flagship restaurant."
The site had been home since 1983 to a rock 'n' roll-themed McDonald's location, complete with memorabilia. The renovation preserved only the building's kitchen.
The incredibly futuristic eatery will remain open 24 hours a day and seven days a week, but the new restaurant nixes Beatles and Elvis paraphernalia in favor of self-order kiosks, table service, mobile order and pay, and delivery, plus a standalone McCafé area. There are also more than 70 trees at ground level and on-site solar panels that, according to Curbed Chicago, are expected to cover 60 percent of the building's electrical demands.
McDonald's latest building embodies the brand's "Experience of the Future" initiative that 5,000 U.S. McDonald's locations are already a part of. McDonald's plans to transform all of its restaurants by 2020. No wonder they are one of the 10 biggest burger chains of 2018.

AAPL: Slow China iPhone 5 Response a Technicality, Says Piper
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster this afternoon reiterates an Overweight rating on shares of Apple (AAPL) and a $900 price target, rebuffing an article this morning by Paul Mozur of The Wall Street Journal that said Apple's retail debut of the iPhone 5 today at its store in Beijing's Sanlitun shopping district was "arguably the least eventful launch of an Apple device in the company's four year-history in the Chinese capital." The plaza outside the store was nearly empty, reports Mozur.
Concerns about a tepid reception of the iPhone 5 were the topic of discussion this morning by both Steve Milunovich of UBS and Peter Misek of Jefferies & Co., both of whom trimmed iPhone estimates.
Munster argues there's no problem with demand, but rather changes Apple has made to distribution and order procedures for customers:
We believe there are a few key takeaways from the China iPhone launch and why there were not long lines as seen in the US: Reservations - Apple is using a reservation system for customers that want to purchase an iPhone, which we believe is enabling them to avoid the riots that the company saw during the 4S launch. We note that Apple has used this system for the most recent iPad launches. Increased Distribution - We believe that Apple has roughly 2x as many points of sale for the iPhone 5 compared to the 4S launch. Additionally, the iPhone 4S launched on only one carrier, while the iPhone 5 is launched on two. China Unicom Pre-Orders - According to a post on Sina Weibo reported by Reuters, China Unicom noted that it had 300k iPhone 5 pre-orders ahead of the launch compared to 200k for the last iPhone pre-orders the company had done.
Apple shares today are down $19.49, or almost 4%, at $510.20.

Police Reveal 4 Common Ways to Get Pulled Over
We've all seen it — someone changing lanes without signaling. Or a person driving while texting. And, if we're honest, maybe we've even been that person. Nobody's perfect. But when you're trying to avoid being pulled over (which most of us are), it helps to know more about those bad driving habits we've all been (admittedly) guilty of at some point.
Edmunds.com polled 3 police agencies to get an idea of the most common driving no-no's that cops encounter.
So, in the ongoing interest of helping us all become model motorists, here's what Johnny Law had to say:
(pulled over because you can't drive 55 … in a 35 mph zone)
In the Edmunds survey, every cop surveyed listed stopping speeding drivers as a main priority. So why do police officers key in on speeders? Well, issuing speeding tickets has a huge impact on safety. For every 100 extra speeding citations given in a month, there are 14.3 fewer crashes and 5.6 fewer injuries.
Point is, if your need for speed gets the better of you, be prepared to put your money where your lead foot is — a whopping 34 million speeding tickets are handed out each year in the U.S.
Distracted driving
(pulled over because you're texting, emailing, eating, and driving)
The police officers surveyed say their main reasons for giving distracted-driving tickets include illegal texting and driving or other dangerous cell phone use. And with good reason, too. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a stunning 40 percent of U.S. teens admit to having been in a car while the driver used a cell phone in an endangering way. We don't know about you, but it seems this phenomenon can't get enough police intervention.
Equipment violations
(pulled over because those windows are just a bit too dark)
Equipment offenses are easy bait for tickets because they're so simple to spot. A police officer doesn't have to make any judgments about the situation. Rather, he or she can simply see that something isn't up to code and make a move. According to the cops surveyed, the most glaring violation (pun intended) was illegal window tints. Following that were burned-out lights, broken windshields, and expired license plate tags.
Tailgating and improper lane changes
(pulled over because you're bound to cause an accident)
These 2 violations ranked as equally important on the Edmunds study. Both are reckless maneuvers that cops said they monitor closely. One police officer even qualified exactly what he thinks is considered a dangerous lane change: cutting someone off or moving without looking.
Using the left lane for cruising instead of passing, driving too slowly, and squealing your tires are also high on the list.
Use common sense
When reviewing these offenses, it's not exactly a surprise that they attract attention. True, you can't control what other people will do on the road. But you can control yourself. So next time you notice you're about to fall into one of these habits, think about the repercussions. Safe driving is good for you and everyone else on the road.
Want to learn how these driving no-no's can impact your car insurance? Check out our moving violations insight center. And if you do get pulled over by the police, remain calm and remember these 8 useful tips (during any time of year).

There are many types of prescription medicines used to help people manage their health. Your doctor and your pharmacist are your
best sources to learn about your prescription medicines.
Guidelines for taking every kind of prescription medicine could fill a
whole shelf of books. This topic gives you basic information about antibiotics,
minor tranquilizers, and sleeping pills.
Health Tools help you make wise health decisions or take action to improve your health.
Antibiotics are drugs that kill
bacteria. But they only work against bacteria. They don't kill viruses, so they
won't work against a cold, the flu, or another viral illness. Unless you have a
bacterial infection, it's best to avoid the possible harmful effects of
antibiotics, which may include:
If you and your doctor decide that you need an antibiotic,
carefully follow the instructions for taking the medicine.
For more information, see the topic Using Antibiotics Wisely.
Some minor
tranquilizers (such as Valium and Xanax) and sleeping pills (such as Ambien and
Sonata) are widely prescribed. But these medicines can cause problems such as
memory loss, addiction, and loss of balance. In rare cases, people who use them
have done things like drive or eat while they're still asleep. These medicines
also can cause a serious allergic reaction. So it's important to use them with
Minor tranquilizers can be useful if you use them for a
short time. But long-term use often isn't very helpful, and it increases the
risk of addiction and mental problems.
Sleeping pills may help for
a few days or a few weeks. But if you use them for more than a month, they are
likely to cause more sleep problems than they solve. For other options, see the
Insomnia or Sleeping Better.
If you have been taking
minor tranquilizers or sleeping pills for a while, talk with your doctor. Ask
if you can stop taking the medicine or if you can gradually take less of it
over time. If you have felt unsteady or dizzy, have had any memory loss, or
have had signs of an allergic reaction, tell your doctor.
There are many kinds of bad
reactions (adverse reactions) to medicine.
Side effects. A side effect is any effect other than the one you want. They tend to be mild, but they can
still bother you. In some cases, side effects can be serious.
Allergies. Some people have strong reactions to
some medicines. These reactions can be deadly. To learn the signs of an
allergic reaction, see the topic
Drug Allergies.
Medicine interactions. These happen when two or more medicines
or herbal supplements mix in a person's body and cause a bad reaction. The
symptoms can be severe and may be wrongly diagnosed as a new illness.
Medicine-food interactions. These happen when
medicines react with food. Some drugs work best when you take them with food,
but others should be taken on an empty stomach. Some medicine-food interactions
can cause serious symptoms.
If you take too much of a medicine, it may trigger an adverse reaction. This can especially be a problem for people of small size and older adults. Sometimes the typical adult dose is too much for these people. Take your medicines exactly as prescribed. Call your doctor if you think you are having a problem with your medicine.
Long-term use of some medicines can lead to dependency. You may have a severe
reaction if you stop taking the medicine all at once. Find out from your doctor if a medicine may be addictive. To learn more,
see the topic
Alcohol and Drug Problems.
Decision Points are designed to guide you through key
health decisions, combining medical information with your personal information
to make a wise health decision. For help in learning the pros and cons of certain medicines, see a list of Decision Points About Medicines.
No matter what type of medicine you take, make sure to follow your doctor's advice about how to take it. And find out the safest way to throw away medicines that are expired or no longer used. Use these drug disposal tips to help prevent people and animals from taking medicines that aren't intended for them:
Only a few medicines should be flushed down the sink or toilet if you can't use a take-back program. To see a list from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, go to www.fda.gov/Drugs/ResourcesForYou/Consumers/BuyingUsingMedicineSafely/EnsuringSafeUseofMedicine/SafeDisposalofMedicines/ucm186187.htm#MEDICINES.

• A Growing Haggadah (Web version)
I began creating a Web site in my head as early as August 1995 when I drafted the following
For a project I'm pursuing regarding Jewish involvement on the internet and the World Wide Web in particular, I'm interested in learning about any sites about which you may know. For example, do any rabbis have Home pages? Which synagogues or synagogue organizations have Web sites? Does Marge Piercy have a site at which you can read portions of "He She and It"? Does Howard Rheingold have a site where you can learn more about creating a Virtual [Jewish] Community? Is there a Web Camera at the Kotel? In the Wilderness of Zin?
This site remains under considerable reconstruction.
Most pages should still be available in their original location. However, I will be moving the vast majority of the old site (static html pages) into the Web 2.0 (blog) site. If you experience any "link rot", please let me know.
When I initially created this site I organized the material into what seemed to be meaningful categories (in the days before "tags"). But the time came when, it was hard to figure out which link to click if you wanted to know about Sammy Levinger's ("who"?) death ("what"?) while fighting during the Spanish Civil War ("when"?), though we had visited Belchite the site ("where?") of the battle where he sustained his mortal wounds. The new tools should make this process easier.

Watering the Tulips
October 17, 2012
"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me"– John 14:6
There is no plainer passage of Scripture in the Bible concerning the way of salvation. Despite the idea that many have today, Christianity is not a way of salvation. Faith in Christ is not one of several options to make it to Heaven one day. Simply put, the only way to be reconciled to God is by Jesus having paid your sin debt. No other religion on the planet satisfies the demands of the righteousness of God.
Man-made religions would have us to work our way into Heaven. All of them teach that, in some sense, our good must outweigh our bad. The problem with that idea is that God's holiness demands that our sins be paid for. He cannot just sweep our wrongs under the rug and continue to be holy. A sacrifice must be made and this occurred at the cross of Calvary.
Jesus plainly declares here, "I am the way". Certainly, this reminds us of Jesus' teaching in the Good Shepherd sermon. He said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep" (John 10:7). Let it be known, there is no other door! If the sheep are to make it into the fold, they must enter through the only door God has ever supplied. That door is Jesus. In the same sermon He said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber" (John 10:1). The same principle is true in both passages. There is one way into fellowship with the Father. That way is through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
But one may say this way is too narrow. To this we reply, "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it" (Matthew 7:13-14). So, the idea that this is a narrow way is true. To the natural man, it certainly may be "too narrow". However, the way of salvation is a narrow way. Every other religion that seeks for man to be reconciled with God through any other means than Jesus Christ is a lie. He is the way – the narrow way!
Another may declare that this simply doesn't seem right – it seems unfair. To this we reply, "There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death" (Proverbs 14:12;16:25). Man had no ability within himself to draw up the plan of salvation. After the Fall, man was completely corrupt and had no spiritual ability to fix his error. The deed was done. So, our merciful and gracious God lovingly drew up the covenant of redemption in which the Son intervened for sinners by paying the price of their sins. Simply put, Jesus took the sins of His people on himself and paid the eternal cost of them. That's God's plan and, therefore, it is the only plan.
So, the question today for you is, are you trusting in salvation through what you've done or are you trusting in the salvation that God provided through Christ? The Scripture plainly declares that Jesus' work on our behalf is the only way to God. Our prayer is that God has given you the gift of faith to trust in Him alone.

U.S. Curling's All-Star Team?
|Skip Debbie McCormick delivers as Nicole Joraanstad
and Natalie Nicholson sweep during the women's curling round
robin game against Denmark at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic
Winter Games.
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- A sixth-place finish at the USA Curling National Championships last year might have been the best thing that could have happened to Team Brown.
It was a wake-up call for Erika Brown and her teammates, Debbie McCormick, Ann Swisshelm and Jessica Schultz, who together have a combined six appearances in the Olympic Winter Games.
Since the uncharacteristic showing at the 2012 U.S. championships, the worst finish for any of the four members in their careers at nationals, the team became re-energized and extremely focused. It also made them more mentally tough, Swisshelm said. Now the team's talent is finally starting to shine through.
"In hindsight it was probably a good thing. It was disappointing, but it's still part of our journey and learning and it was our first year together," said McCormick, who is the team's vice skip and a three-time Olympian in 1998, 2002 and 2010. "Just because you're great on paper doesn't mean you're going to be great right away. You still have to work on things, communication and team systems and so it's really helped us work on those things."
Team Brown — which is competing this week in the 2013 USA Curling National Championships presented by Brooms Up Curling Supplies in Green Bay, Wis. — has started this season strong, winning three events on the world curling tour.
The winning women's team at nationals this week advances to the 2013 Women's World Championships in March in Latvia and also qualifies for the 2014 U.S. Olympic Team Trials in November in Fargo, N.D. The second-place team at nationals also qualifies for the Trials.
The final four teams are skipped by Brown, Courtney George, Allison Pottinger and Alexandra Carlson.
On Friday, Universal Sports will air both the women's bronze-medal game and the men's playoff games live at 3 p.m. ET. On Saturday, the championship finals will be staged. NBC Sports Network will air the women's gold-medal match at 10 a.m. ET followed by the men's gold-medal final at 4 p.m. ET.
Making the 2014 U.S. Olympic Team Trials is very important but the end goal is qualifying for the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games, which begin less than a year from now.
Team Brown formed last season after all four of the members had competed against one another for so many years. Brown and McCormick actually played together in the late 1980s and early '90s, winning U.S. junior championships from 1991-94. McCormick also was an alternate for Schultz's team that went to the world championships in 2012.The quartet united to become an all-star team of Olympians, having amassed a total of 19 national championships in their illustrious careers. However, the team members don't consider themselves any different or better than the other curling teams they compete against.
|Nicole Joraanstad (L) and Natalie Nicholson (R) sweep the ice for
a release by skip Debbie McCormick.
"I think the top teams out here are all made up of people who have been to the Olympics, been to the world championships, so I don't put us in some sort of special category than that, but I think the dynamic of this team is pretty special," said Brown, the team's skip who competed in the Nagano 1998 Olympic Winter Games and also the '88 Winter Games when curling was just a demonstration sport.
The team members really enjoy playing together since they all offer a wealth of experience and are like-minded athletes.
"It is so much fun to play on a team where you are not carrying someone around the ice," said Swisshelm, the team's first thrower, who is competing in her 19th consecutive national championships this week. "It is such a pleasure that we get to do our jobs, share the information and achieve results."
Said McCormick: "I think we have a lot of laughs, and I think because of our experience, we can have those fun moments as well. I enjoy curling with these girls because it's fun. If it wasn't fun, I probably wouldn't be on this team."
The women have so much fun because they are confident in their abilities. They know their job and they are never second-guessed by a teammate.
"Everyone fits great into their roles," Brown said. "The front-enders are great sweepers; the shot they're throwing, they're the best there is at them, and Deb can do anything. … There's nothing I would change about the lineup, the people, about anything."
According to Schultz, who competed in the Torino 2006 Olympic Winter Games and, at 28, is the youngest member on the team, all four of the members have an equal say with anything team related.
It's a long road with the Winter Games in Sochi less than one year out, but Team Erika Brown is expecting to be there and expecting to do well.
"We expect a lot out of each other because we know we can be that great," McCormick said. "We expect it and we want to do our job to the best of our ability."

Public Comment
The gang rape of the unnamed victim in Delhi has focused much needed attention into the epidemic of sexual violence. According to the Indian National Crime Registry, one woman is raped every 20 minutes. The actual numbers may be significantly higher as most victims are too humiliated and fearful to report the crimes. Out of the 24,206 rape cases reported in 2011, three-fourth of the perpetrators have not been arrested and the conviction rate is a pitiful 26%. Many cases linger on indefinitely which underscores ineptness and rampant corruption in law enforcement and the judiciary emblematic of the general malaise gripping Indian society. Currently, there are 100,000 pending cases. Delhi has now become the rape capital of the country exceeding the combined rape in all other cities. According to the London Guardian 260 men have been appointed to political office despite serious charges of crimes against women. Women activists were incensed with the careless, insensitive comments of the President's son, who is also member of the ruling Congress Party. He mocked the demonstrators as 'painted women who should not be taken seriously'.
Women activists are calling for a standard set of laws or protocols for investigating all acts of violence including "honor crimes" and domestic violence. Women also need to take a pledge against female fetal abortions. This repugnant practice is creating an alarming gender imbalance leading to the growing practice of bride 'snatching',
On the home front there is no room for complacency; American women suffer a major sexual assault every 2 minutes. Regrettably, the House Republican leaders have stalled the 2012 reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act. Finally, the US has yet to ratify the U.N. Bill of Rights for Women; only eight countries have failed to ratify the convention, leaving the U.S. in the company of Iran, Somalia and Sudan.

New York, January 18, 2011--Ecuadoran authorities have been holding computers and equipment belonging to the critical newsmagazine Vanguardia since a police raid on its offices a month ago. The Committee to Protect Journalists has concluded the seizure was reprisal for the magazine's editorial positions and calls on authorities to return the property.
On December 17, armed members of the Ecuadoran special police force raided Vanguardia's editorial offices in Quito, searched employees, and seized equipment, including 35 hard drives, Editor Juan Carlos Calderón told CPJ. Authorities said the action was taken as part of an eviction proceeding involving the state-owned offices.
An order issued by a government collection agency said Gran Tauro, Vanguardia's publisher, had three days to pay US$14,560 that it allegedly owed in rent. But Calderón said the eviction was carried out immediately. The magazine paid the full amount it was said to owe by early January, but officials have not acknowledged receiving payment.
Vanguardia and the local press group Fundamedios believe the seizure of assets was illegal and disproportionate. On December 21, at Vanguardia's request, Guayas-based Judge Ángel Rubio ordered that Vanguardia employees be allowed to make back-up copies of their hard drives, which contained important reportorial information. But three attempts by staff to obtain copies of the hard drives have been unsuccessful, Calderón told CPJ. "We suspect that the government or some official is interested in our information," he said.
Calderón and Fundamedios believe the actions against Vanguardia stem from the magazine's in-depth investigations of government corruption. Vanguardia has continued to publish from new offices.
"The confiscation of Vanguardia's equipment appears intended to cripple a critical and independent media outlet," said Carlos Lauría, CPJ's senior program coordinator for the Americas. "We urge authorities to return the magazine's property and allow Vanguardia to work without obstruction."

In his previous cooking shows, Sandy Daza became so associated with wielding a wooden spoon that it's the name he bestowed on his new restaurant. Barely six months old, its entrance is so unassuming that driving by, you might miss it lest you look up and see the towering tarp of Sandy holding – what else – but a wooden spoon.
Once inside the restaurant however, not a single implement of the sort is to be found. It's too small a space really, and even with a second floor, it fills up fast. Active in the local culinary scene in the 90s as a cooking expert, food columnist, and owner of several fast food outlets, Sandy took a sabbatical and moved to Canada. He only returned to Manila a few years ago, and I view Wooden Spoon as his grand homecoming. It's a restaurant that focuses on familiar Filipino food but invariably given tweaks and twists.
With such an illustrious family name, it's no wonder that Sandy is in this business. His mother is none other than the venerable Nora Daza; his sister, Nina Daza-Puyat, his co-host on several of his former cooking shows, is the current editor-in-chief of Appetite magazine. I've known Sandy for several years: my Bin is a Daza and he and Sandy are first cousins. It was through Sandy that I first discovered Joseph & Jaemark's, and what that secret ingredient is exactly that makes their fish sauce taste too good. It was also through him that I learned about and finally met the (now late) great Tita Cely, the inventor of the Bicol Express.
Wooden Spoon is straightforward with no-frills. The portions are almost too small to share, but at such affordable prices, it wouldn't be right to quibble. A restaurant finding its footing, the menu is printed on several sheets of short bond paper; an omnibus of sorts of Sandy's favorite foods, flavors he favors and those that fuel him. It's admittedly overwhelming, so much to choose from! But it's one of those happy challenges to face on return visits.
Wansoy Shrimp Balls (P145) start us off nicely. It comes with two sauces, one is a coriander-citrus sauce, the other is a Thai-style sweet chili. Mix and match at will, I find the combination plays off the nubby textures of the patty very well.
The Shrimp Pampango (P225) can be eaten as a main but I think of it as a starter. Crispy shrimp, medium sized and lightly battered are dipped into a sauce made with crab fat, taba ng talangka. Take a deep breath, dip it, and eat the entire shrimp head and all. Though such liberal intakes of a conspicuously cholesterol-laden dish can be frightening, the sauce itself is light, definitely not as cloying as other talangka I've tried; in fact, I wish it was heavier, chunkier even, to stand up to the shrimp.
Wooden Spoon pays tribute to Tita Cely Kalaw with its own spin on Bicol Express (P185). If you click the link mentioned earlier in this post, it's starkly different to what's seen here. The traditional has played musical chairs with the new: there is more pork in Sandy's version, a thicker sauce, and the color is a healthy ochre hue. I'm all for re-invention and this is interesting, but I miss the myriad sili that was the star in the original Bicol Express.
Sandy makes much to-do about his Dinakdakan (P185), but I'm afraid I miss the point. An Ilocano dish, broiled pork slices are tossed in a sauce that's a simultaneous exclamation of savory and spicy and sweet with ellipses of onion thrown in. That's the intended effect but to me, it's a whole lot of chewy with some porky here and there. As it states on the menu, "… something totally new and different to the non-Ilocano." I'll say.
Boo likes the Kaldereta (P235) very much, so much so that I have to plead for scant spoonfuls. Beef strips slow-cooked in tomato sauce makes for an appealing proposition with plenty of flavors announcing themselves in the light sauce. I say "light" because this sauce is just that – in flavor and color. It may be because my exposure to kaldereta are of those laden with mashed liver. However, if your tastes tend to a cleaner, perhaps more elegant kaldereta, you'll like this version with its plethora of peppers and olives. And the grated cheese garnish, such a small touch, gives big taste impact here.
The undeniable star of our meal at Wooden Spoon, the dish that makes our eyes roll to the back of our heads is the Stuffed Pechay (P145). Smoke and spice, from the tinapa (smoked fish) and gata (coconut sauce) respectively, prance and play with ground pork, rolled in and hidden in a pechay leaf. Oh, what good things lie hidden beneath! A fearsomely good combination, it's so good that my Bin and I play a mock sword fight with our forks in an effort to nab the last roll. This is lovely, just lovely with too much hot white rice.
When it comes to Lechon Kawali (P195), my view is that anything pork and fried can never be bad. Sandy takes the leanest pork belly (does such a thing exist?) and simmers it for extra tenderness. It's then deep-fried 'til its skin bubbles up and crackles. Since it's sliced thinly, it's very crispy. The sauce accompaniments give new life to this traditional dish. The ginger-oil is mellow-mild as the coriander-chili excites.
There are only three desserts on the menu, all very light and assuming you'd be too full for anything more. We have a complimentary Sago Cake (P65), a sufficient little mold of sago dressed in palm sugar and gilded with gata (coconut sauce).
