Sew Creative Preparatory Coupons and Deals
In the old days, potato sacks doubled as not only a vehicle for vegetables but also not-so-stylish clothing.

we have a problem with Skype for Asterisk on 64-Bit Linux.
Skype for Asterisk does not start on 64-Bit Linux Operating systems. We have tried Skype for Asterisk 1.6.1 and Asterisk 1.6.2 on Ubuntu 8.04 64-Bit.Is a working 64-Bit version of Skype for Asterisk available?
hahaursoap said 4 years ago
I'm not sure about this, as I haven't even tried this product yet, but my guess is that one can install the ia-32 bit libs package on your asterisk server to get this working.. I'd either back up your system first, or try it on a non-production unit before putting on your main system however.
Hope this helps.
martopopov said 4 years ago
yes it did work. I get 64 bit debian lenny and 64 bit download skypeforasterisk. and IT'S WORK (http://downloads.digium.com/pub/telephony/skypeforasterisk/). But I have asterisk 1.4 version but I tried already on asterisk 1.6 and it goes well:) -

Phoebe Prince bullies sentenced, but how do they make things right?
from Stacy Teicher Khadaroo's article in Christian Science Monitor:
Five teens who faced criminal charges for bullying in connection with the 2010 suicide of Phoebe Prince in South Hadley, Mass., have been sentenced to probation and community service.
While the courtroom chapter of the drama in central Massachusetts is largely over, bullying-prevention advocates hope that the work of "restorative justice" has just begun. Now, they say, the defendants should use their experience to help other young people steer clear of bullying and the deep harm it causes.

We are showing you the US version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
Doppio: Issue 09
The Doppio is Rapha's weekly double-shot of road racing reportage. A two-faced publication of the week's action and what's up the road, every Wednesday we review and preview the week's biggest races and fill you in on the details in between. Available in all Cycle Clubs – San Francisco, London and Osaka – we'll also be offering the Doppio as a downloadable document on the site each week, absolutely free.
We're midway through both the Giro and the Tour of California, so stage-race treats abound. There's a guide to the next week's Giro stages, as the riders continue their journey through the high mountains towards the mighty Galibier just over the border in France. We also have a primer on the remaining Tour of California stages, plus a couple of nuggets we picked up in the team hotels, as well as an appreciation of the Tour of California and its mythmaking potential from Bill Strickland, editor-at-large of Bicycling magazine. Last but not least, we have a report on the Rás, the tour of Ireland, being raced next week by Rapha-Condor-JLT and Rapha's very own Ultan Coyle.
Best enjoyed with an espresso or two.

Chemically reacting flows, and the associated transport of mass, momentum and energy, are fundamental to numerous areas of modern technology. These include the recovery, fabrication, and processing of materials; the design and operation of devices that use fossil or nuclear fuels; and the treatment and disposal of waste and toxins. Forces of economy, safety, efficiency and a concern for the environment dictate not only that the underlying science be advanced, but also that these advances be rapidly integrated into engineering, design, manufacturing and operation. It is broadly recognized that the challenge requires an interdisciplinary response, including, in particular, the deployment of modern techniques of applied mathematics: modeling, analysis and computation.
In this year of concentration, we have elected to emphasize three topics. Two of these, namely, Combustion, and Natural Resources and Environment, can be clearly identified as areas of application. The third, Multiscale and Transition Regimes, cuts across applications, focusing instead on processes where traditional and classical transport models no longer apply. Applications include thin, microstructured films, nanometer-scale semiconductor devices, and supercooled fluids.
The year has been divided into three segments, with a total of nine workshops. In each case, we aim to bring together researchers with overlapping interests who may move in disjoint scientific circles, and expose applied mathematicians to activity in the selected area of the workshop. The overall focus will be on identifying situations where an infusion of existing mathematical technology can lead to rapid progress, as well as recognizing areas where the existing theoretical framework needs to be

Although combustion has a long history and the subject is of great economical and technological importance, its emergence as a science is of relatively recent origin. Applied mathematicians "discovered" Combustion only about thirty years ago, and the scientific, analytical and computational challenges of the field have now made combustion an important application area of applied mathematics.
Fluid mechanics, chemical reaction, and thermodynamics are the essential ingredients of combustion. The governing equations are conservation laws of compressible flow, augmented by chemical kinetics. Nonlinearities and disparate scales abound. Even in the simplest of combustible mixtures, there is a bewildering array of chemical reactions among myriad species. When multiple phases are encountered, there is a lack of consensus even on the governing equations. It is clear, then, that the field continues to Offer major opportunities to the modeller, analyst, and numericist alike.
aim of the quarter of concentration on combustion is to focus
on three specific contexts in the field of combustion (each
a workshop topic), to review recent successes, and to acquaint
the participant with the challenges that remain.

Dodged the bullet again with the rain this morning, it was reasonably dry at Burleigh Point yet it was raining in the distance at Surfers Paradise. I hope you enjoy the images I think this was the hardest morning I've had to shoot over the past 2 weeks as the sunrise sort of lacked "punch". On the bright side the swell is on the up and coming onto the low tide a few of the points shouldn't to bad later. Well enjoy what sun you get today as I don't hold high hopes for tomorrow, I might have to shoot photos tomorrow with my camera in my water proof housing. Anyways see what happens in the morning, have a good day everyone.
The LB Team

The NFL may not have known a lot about former Cahokia High School offensive tackle Terron Armstead before Saturday, but Armstead's introduction at the NFL combine in Indianapolis should keep teams coming back for more.
The 6-foot, 5-inch, 306-pound tackle wowed scouts and team executives by running the 40-yard dash in 4.71 seconds, the fastest time ever for an offensive lineman at the scouting combine. He was clocked at 4.65 seconds unofficially, but both times are almost unheard of for offensive linemen.
Armstead was a two-sport standout at Arkansas-Pine Bluff, earning All-American honors in track and field and all-Southwestern Athletic Conference honors in football.
A standout at the East-West Shrine Game, Armstead also finished first among linemen in the vertical jump (34.5 inches), tied for fourth in the broad jump (9-feet, 4-inches), tied for eighth in the bench press (31 reps of 225 pounds) and tied for 13th in the three-cone drill (7.62 seconds).
Armstead told reporters he wound up at Arkansas-Pine Bluff because he didn't get his ACT test score back until after signing day.
Armstead also said Arkansas-Pine Bluff allowed him to compete in both football and track and field, which was important to him.
His best distance in the shot put at Pine Bluff was 61-feet, 5-inches.
Armstead performed well enough at the East-West Shrine Game that he earned an invitation to the Senior Bowl.
"I've been blessed with a unique skill-set," Armstead told CBSSports.com. "I'm extremely light on my feet for a big guy, I have to say. It's a blessing. It was nothing that was coached.
"I just want to show them my athleticism, speed, quickness, be smooth, be fluid. I have some pretty good technique, but I know I need some work on every aspect of my game."

Preventing Shootings: Is Gun Control the Answer?
When I heard about the shooting last Friday in Connecticut, I was devastated. Not only were there many victims but the majority were young children. No matter what a person is thinking or what's going on in their head, children should be off limits. Right now, the whole country is in shock and everyone agrees to what we all really knew a long time already: something has to change. That is whether you're pro guns or against guns.
Right after the tragedy, social media posts started pouring in with anger, shock and different messages. One of them was that guns should be banned. What you'll read further in this article is simply thoughts from me, it's not meant to be confrontational whatsoever. After all, gun control is an extremely heated topic.
As a native Belgian, I have some thoughts about the issue that may or may not be right. However, there are certain things that I have picked up and I am also able to compare different policies. First of all, let me address what the policy is like in Belgium.
Any adult and 16-18 year old (with approval from parents) is allowed to possess a firearm. I personally had my first firearm when I was 17 years old. The process isn't easy and there are many restrictions. I had never seen a semi automatic rifle until I came to the US, but Belgium doesn't have the expansive nature and predators either. When you want a firearm, you have to pass a safety test in the shooting range, as well as an interview with the local sheriff. There are also background checks, you are obligated to be part of a shooting range for the duration you possess your firearm and the police is allowed to make a home visit and make sure that the firearm is safely locked away in a safe.
That raises the question, what can we adopt from this policy? Perhaps that the tests and background checks are more thorough and expansive. You can't just walk in a store and walk out after a quick check with a firearm. Maybe firearms should be required to be locked in a safe and police can come and check on that. That only might have prevented Adam Lanza of getting his hands on his mothers weapons.
I like firearms. I consider them valuable for sport shooting (target shooting, I don't hunt personally) and for home defense. If it meant it would resolve all these issues with shootings and people hurting each other, I would gladly give them up. However, it would not be the solution. After all, it's people hurting people. If they are motivated, they will find other ways unfortunately. That doesn't mean that we can't do anything about the law, purchasing process, requirements and background checks though. We can make sure it's harder for individuals to get them. I personally have nothing to hide and applaud a stricter and slower purchasing process. It might be enough to demotivate certain other individuals who are out to do harm. On the other hand, would this increase the number of firearms on the black market? I don't know.
When clients ask me about weapons for self defense, I always tell them it can be either really helpful or it can be used against them. That is why it's a completely personal decision. As with any weapon, you need to know how to use it in a safe way instead of making things more dangerous for yourself or others. Maybe everyone who wants to purchase a firearms should follow a mandatory class which discusses their legal obligations and safety procedures?
Nobody can disagree with the fact that more needs to be done for mental health research and helping patients. There should be a database in which doctors (not only law enforcement) can share their concerns. As it is now, many mentally unstable people can still purchase firearms if there have been no previous charges against them. That is something that needs a major change.
Another topic is the assault weapons ban. After doing some research, I figured out the assault weapons are weapons that have certain requirements such as having military style and/or cosmetic features, as well as having high capacity magazine holders.
As you may already know, full automatic weapons have no place in the general population and are thankfully heavily restricted. The problem with an assault weapons ban is that so many firearms aren't considered assault weapons but can still do the same damage. There are an extraordinary amount of semi automatic weapons out there and many or most owners will not give these up. It would be very doubtful the government would ever ask them to as any law would not be retroactive anyway. This means that all weapons already in circulation stay there, it only restricts manufacturing and possession going forward. Whether the ban from 1994 - 2004 (banning only certain firearms) worked is up for debate. But keep in mind that the tens of millions of weapons and magazines under the ban stayed in circulation.
I don't want to get too much into the topic of banning firearms because it's such a controversial topic. I personally don't believe the biggest problem is gun control or possession. After all, let's say you take them all away. The black market 'criminal' guns will still be out there. People can't defend themselves against criminals, predators etc.
Saying that the world is safe enough now and we don't need guns is incorrect in my belief. Things happen every day all over the map. There are carjackings, homejackings, violent assault, burglaries etc. Take a look at the 2011 riots in London and talk to the people who were stolen from, assaulted and whose residences were lit on fire. History tells us the world is not as stable as everyone wants it to be.
I don't think there is a definitive answer to the problem, at least not for gun control. I think responsible owners should have the right to possess a firearm for home defense, hunting and sport shooting. I don't think people should judge others for possessing a firearm as long as they are responsible. I don't think it makes me look any cooler to have them and I don't brag with it. It does make me feel safer and I enjoy going to the range every once and a while.
Besides the possibility of banning certain features and making the process stricter and more thorough, there are still a few other issues that have a direct influence to the problem:
- The media needs to stop making lists of who was the deadliest, the most devastating etc. That only motivates other individuals who are out to do harm and want to beat that number. It gives them ideas. Let's please focus on the victims and how we can solve the problem, not indirectly make it seem like we praise this monster. Of course it's human curiosity to find out who he was and why he did it but you can see my point.
- Mental health research and guidance (after diagnosis). Many people out there need help and if they got it, they wouldn't do actions such as these. This is a hard goal to reach but imagine how much heartache we can prevent if we can catch a tendency or unstable temperament etc. in individuals. I don't know much about the topic so refrain from making it seem like I'm an expert but a better safety net is necessary. Why not have a system in which doctors can ring the alarm bell?
- Why not have security people or a few police officers in institutions (schools, hospitals etc.)? This requires funds and time but also creates jobs right?
- Change the mentality of the population. Violence is put too much in the spotlight. Not everything has to be bigger, better, more violent and aggressive. There is much violence in the media, Hollywood and video games. Why not put the focus on something less destructive?
Our thoughts are with the survivors and the victims' families. These tragedies happen too much and shouldn't.

About Self Defense Classes & Workshops - Crime, Reports and Bad Decisions
01/02/12 15:20 Filed in: Other | Self Defense
I'm sure you've heard or read about the 20 year old CU student who got ticketed for falsely reporting an attack on University Hill. You can read more about it here.
Her initial story was that she was walking alone when she was grabbed by a 200lbs. knife wielding man. After a struggle, she got away with some minor scratches.
Doesn't add up does it? It may be possible if she was very lucky and the attacker only had the intention to scare her with the knife but did not plan on actually using it. It is definitely possible if she acted and overwhelmed her attacker (you want to take away the attacker's confidence, therefore the Golden Rule of self defense: ACT CRAZY). However, if a 200 lbs. man was wielding with a knife, it would be extremely hard to walk away the way she did. Not just for her but for anyone, including me!
False reports are unfortunate and prevent law enforcement from investigating real crimes. For example:
The armed robbery which turned fatal for Todd Walker (March 2011)
The gunmen who robbed multiple people and sexually assaulted a woman (August, 2011)
A gunman outside the Boulder Community Hospital (April, 2011)
Bank robbery in North Boulder (September, 2011)
CU campus robbery (January, 2012)
Sexual assault attempts (October, 2011)
Does this mean Boulder is an unsafe or bad place to live? Absolutely not! However, as in every big town (and college town), you need to be aware and more importantly, not be naive. Not everyone is trustworthy, you need to be cautious and use common sense.
After all, things happen and you don't control everything or everyone. None of the above victims ever thought this would happen to them but unfortunately it did. We should all try to keep ourselves and others safe. There are many ways to do this but the first step is to realize bad things do happen. Being prepared doesn't hurt. The last thing you want to do is putting yourself in a situation in which bad things can happen.
As a self defense instructor, I spend a lot of attention to all aspects of self defense. It is not simply about the techniques and how to get back to safety but it's also about preventing, scanning, communication (verbal and non verbal), knowing vital points and very important: your mental state.
My wife pointed out an article about self defense a few weeks ago and Linda Fairstein (a former sex crimes prosecutor) addresses a few very bad choices that turned for the worst.
- Kenia Monge from Denver was planning on going to college to become a crime scene investigator so she was an intelligent woman. When she left her friends to go to the restroom when partying, she never came back. Travis Forbes was found guilty for the murder of Kenia. She made one mistake but it cost her and her family dearly. It is very important to use a buddy system when leaving the group, no matter how close or easy your destination is.
- Holly Bobo, a 20 year old student was kidnapped outside her Tennessee home. It seems like Holly did not resist enough, at least not in the initial part of her kidnapping. Traces of resistance were found but it was probably too late. If you feel unsafe, draw attention to yourself. It will lower your attacker's confidence and other people may be able to assist or call 911. Do whatever you can to draw attention and target vital points to maximize damage and pain. Please note that every situation is different and everyone's response is different. When there are weapons involved, it is also a very different scenario so this response may not fit all situations!
- Paula Sladewski had a fight with her boyfriend in a club, it came to a point that her boyfriend was thrown out and she stayed. When she left later, cameras show a man was following her. She didn't make it and up to this day, there is no suspect. Paula made the mistake of making a decision based on her emotions at that time. This affected her safety and it turned for the worst. Always be careful and don't take risks, even if you are upset.
The article focussed on these three situations that were caused by a certain decision. Other people doing the same actions may be fine and many other decisions will also turn out to be the wrong one. Should you lock yourself up and don't take any risks? No but take calculated risks and please use common sense. It's better to be safe than sorry. In my mind, every person should take a proper self defense course and know the basics (not because we teach these but I believe things can happen and you should be able to help yourself if needed).
We teach self defense classes 4 times a week and offer punch cards to give our clients the freedom to choose their own times. We focus on every aspect of self defense and make sure you leave with a strong basic knowledge and skill set. All levels and ages are welcome.

Would you rather lose a pound next week or $500? Most people given the
choice would find it pretty easy to take off a pound. This simple insight
is the key to a seven-step plan, The $500 Diet, that can guide you to sustained
weight loss. Most diet books obsess about what you should put in your mouth.
But information is not the problem. You already know that to lose weight
you need to eat a bit less or exercise a bit more.
The $500 Diet is a different kind of diet plan, because it doesn't
tell you how much to eat or exercise. You are smart enough—with the
help of the Internet and dozens of dieting books—to figure that out.
What's unique about The $500 Diet is that it works on another dimension.
It lets you change your own incentives to lose weight. New York Times best-selling
author, Ian Ayres, tells you about his own struggles with weight loss, and
lays out advice for how you can use commitment contracts to safely lose
10 percent of your body weight. You'll learn about his seven-step
plan to a happier and lighter you. Most important, Ayres tells you what
you should do to keep it off. Most diet books are written by physicians
and scientists, but Ayres is a contract lawyer and an economist who uses
the tools of his crafts to help you change how much you want to eat. If
you are serious about losing weight, The $500 Diet provides a simple tool
that can help you commit to a healthier life. Kindle

Mobilizing Victims Of Stop And Frisk To Vote
Mayor Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Kelly Still promote NYPD's discredited unconstitutional stop-and-frisk policy
Communities United for Police Reform will begin citywide effort to mobilize voters impacted by stop-and-frisk.
In the upcoming 2013 election in New York City, voters will be choosing a new mayor, comptroller, public advocate and several borough presidents, as well as at least 20 new members of the City Council. The use of stop-and-frisk has increased by more than 600% during the Bloomberg administration.
The NYPD has conducted more than 5 million stops of New Yorkers during this administration – close to 90% of those stopped are Black or Latina/o and nearly 90% are neither arrested nor receive a summons. Discriminatory profiling has led to thousands of New Yorkers being subjected to suspicion-less stops, which are being challenged in the ongoing federal class-action lawsuit, Floyd v. City of New York.
Unlawful searches during stops have resulted in the explosion of low-level marijuana arrests, costing taxpayers anywhere from $500 million to more than $1 billion and the NYPD approximately one million hours of police time during the Bloomberg administration. According to the most recent Quinnipiac poll, a majority of New Yorkers are opposed to the Bloomberg administration's stop-and-frisk policy.
WHAT: Press conference to announce non-partisan campaign to mobilize thousands of prospective voters.
WHO: Communities United for Police Reform.
Donna Lieberman, Executive Director of New York Civil Liberties Union, Linda Sarsour, Executive Director of Arab American Association of New York, Vivian Truong, Coordinator of the Asian Youth in Action Program of CAAAV, Make the Road NY, VOCAL-NY, New Yorkers impacted by stop-and-frisk and discriminatory policing.

JULY 2nd - SEPTEMBER 23th
Vincent Fournier - Baf Room 65, Building 25E, Ergol Suit #01, Guiana Space Center, Kourou, 2007.
I love machines, the ones that fly, speak, count, or observe. I'm fascinated by the magical aspect of science; which seems to reduce the complexity of the world to a few mathematical formulae. There is a certain irony in making a visible and understandable image of such mysteries of the universe as waves, time, space, stars, and light.
However you analyse phenomena, index them, process them, measure them, the investigation doesn't necessarily lead to any definitive answers, and the questions just get bigger. The universe is not as well ordered as our machines. It acts in an irrational, chaotic, violent and mysterious way, and even though there are computers that can design our forests, the control remains artificial. In the first place, our knowledge is subordinate to our ignorance. These scientific questionings have nourished my artistic work. They are the point of departure from which I construct stories I want to tell. Most of my images are staged, the situations composed, recreated, and interpreted. They are tableaux, micro-fictions, wrought with an aesthetic and pictorial eye. This work began with the field of space and it continues with new scientific research into robotics and synthetic biology. I always try not to fix the meaning of my photographs, and to leave them open to interpretation, often in suspense between two extremes like documentary and fiction, sense and nonsense, or living and artificial.

Statement for the Record
Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee:
Thank you for inviting the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), to participate in this important hearing. As the world's largest supporter of biomedical research on drug abuse and addiction, we have learned much about the behavioral and health effects of methamphetamine (meth) abuse, as well as effective ways to treat those addicted. I am pleased to be here today to present an overview of what the science has taught us about meth - a stimulant drug that can have devastating medical, psychiatric, and social consequences.
NIDA has been conducting research on meth for more than 20 years. During this period, NIDA has been tracking meth abuse and supporting multifaceted research aimed at better understanding how the drug affects the brain and behavior and how we can effectively prevent and treat meth abuse and addiction.
Prevalence of Methamphetamine in the United States
Although several national surveys, including the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), conducted by HHS's Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), and NIDA's Monitoring the Future (MTF) survey, do not report overall increases in meth abuse, evidence from emergency departments and treatment programs attest to the growing impact of meth abuse in the country. NIDA's Community Epidemiology Work Group (CEWG), which monitors drug abuse problems in sentinel sites across the Nation, has alerted us to increased meth abuse and associated problems in new areas around the country in recent years. In fact, data from SAMHSA's Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS) show that in 1993 only 4 states reported high rates of treatment admissions (i.e., >50 per 100,000 population) for meth/amphetamine addiction; by 2003, this number increased to 18, more than a third of the States. The total number of people seeking treatment Nationwide increased almost fourfold within a similar timeframe. Further, meth/amphetamine abuse-related emergency department visits across the country have increased more than 50 percent between 1995 and 2002.
What Methamphetamine Does to the Brain and Body
Methamphetamine is a Schedule II stimulant, which means it has a high abuse potential and is available only by prescription. Only a few clinical indications justify its medical use, such as to treat narcolepsy and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), although it is rarely used for the latter. However, it is the illicit use of meth, usually manufactured in "super labs" or by "home cooks", which is the core of the problem of meth abuse. As a powerful stimulant, meth, even in small doses, can increase wakefulness and physical activity and decrease appetite. Meth comes in many forms and can be snorted, swallowed, injected, or smoked, the preferred method of abuse varying by geographical region and changing over time. In recent years, faster routes of administration (e.g., smoking and injecting) have become more common, amplifying meth's addiction potential and adverse consequences.
Meth acts by affecting many brain structures but mainly those that contain the neurotransmitter dopamine, due to similarities in their chemical signatures. Meth increases the release of dopamine, producing the "rush" and/or "high" associated with its abuse. As the most potent of the stimulant drugs, amphetamines elicit more dopamine release than other drugs

Spinal headaches
By Mayo Clinic staffOriginal Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/spinal-headaches/DS00643
Spinal headaches occur in up to 40 percent of those who undergo a spinal tap (lumbar puncture) or spinal anesthesia. Both procedures require a puncture of the tough membrane that surrounds the spinal cord and, in the lower spine, the lumbar and sacral nerve roots.
During a spinal tap, a sample of cerebrospinal fluid is withdrawn from your spinal canal. During spinal anesthesia, medication is injected into your spinal canal to numb the nerves in the lower half of your body. If spinal fluid leaks through the tiny puncture site, you may develop a spinal headache.
Most spinal headaches — also known as post-lumbar puncture headaches — resolve on their own with no treatment. However, spinal headaches lasting 24 hours or more may need treatment.
Spinal headache symptoms include:
- Dull, throbbing pain that varies in intensity from mild to incapacitating
- Pain that typically gets worse when you sit up or stand and decreases or goes away when you lie down
Spinal headaches are often accompanied by:
- Dizziness
- Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
- Light sensitivity (photophobia)
- Nausea
- Neck stiffness
When to see a doctor
Tell your doctor if you develop a headache after a spinal tap or spinal anesthesia — especially if the headache gets worse when you sit up or stand.
Spinal headaches are caused by leakage of spinal fluid through a puncture hole in the membrane that surrounds the spinal cord. This leakage decreases the pressure exerted by the spinal fluid on the brain and spinal cord, which leads to a headache.
Spinal headaches typically appear within 12 to 24 hours after a spinal tap or spinal anesthesia. Sometimes epidural anesthesia may lead to a spinal headache as well. Although epidural anesthetic is injected just outside the membrane that surrounds the spinal cord, a spinal headache is possible if the membrane is unintentionally punctured.
Risk factors
Risk factors for spinal headaches include:
- Being a woman
- Having a history of spinal headaches
- Being between the ages of 18 and 30
- Undergoing procedures involving the use of larger needles or multiple punctures in the membrane that surrounds the spinal cord
Preparing for your appointment
If you've recently had a spinal procedure and develop a headache that lasts 24 hours or longer, your doctor can help you determine the seriousness of your condition. Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, and to know what to expect from your doctor.
What you can do
- Write down any symptoms you're experiencing, including any that may seem unrelated to the reason for which you scheduled the appointment.
- Make a list of all medications, vitamins and supplements you're taking.
- Take a family member or friend along, if possible. Depending on your condition, you may need help getting to your appointment. And, someone who accompanies you may remember information you miss or forget.
- Write down questions to ask your doctor.
Preparing questions can help you make the most of your time with your doctor. For a spinal headache, questions you might ask include:
- What is likely causing my symptoms or condition?
- Are there other causes?
- What tests do I need?
- Is my condition likely temporary or chronic?
- What is the best course of action?
- What alternatives are there to the approach you're suggesting?
- I have these other health conditions. How can I best manage them together?
- Are there any restrictions I need to follow?
- Should I see a specialist?
- Are there brochures or other printed material that I can take? What websites do you recommend?
Don't hesitate to ask any other questions.
What to expect from your doctor
Your doctor is likely to ask you questions, such as:
- When did your headache begin?
- Does your headache worsen when you sit, stand or lie down?
- Do you have a history of headaches? What type?
Tests and diagnosis
The doctor will ask questions about your headache and do a physical exam. Be sure to mention any recent procedures — particularly a spinal tap or spinal anesthesia.
Sometimes the doctor will recommend a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to rule out other causes of your headache. During the exam, a magnetic field and radio waves create cross-sectional images of your brain.
Treatments and drugs
Treatment for spinal headaches begins conservatively. Your doctor may recommend bed rest, fluids, caffeine and oral pain relievers. If your headache hasn't improved within 24 hours, your doctor may suggest one or more of the following treatments:
- Epidural blood patch. Injecting a small amount of your blood into the space over the puncture hole will often form a clot to seal the hole, restoring normal pressure in the spinal fluid and relieving your headache. This is the usual treatment for persistent spinal headaches that don't resolve on their own.
- IV caffeine. Delivered directly into your bloodstream, caffeine helps relieve spinal headaches — usually within a few hours — by constricting blood vessels within your head.
- Epidural saline. Injecting a saltwater (saline) solution into the space outside the membrane that covers your spinal cord may put pressure on the lumbar puncture site and stop the cerebrospinal fluid leak. But because saline solution is absorbed so quickly by the body, spinal headaches often recur after this treatment.

Extending safety grows one of these (photo from flickr.com)
I'd love to grow baby owls in my window box. It's astounding how shy and reclusive creatures can be coaxed into living near humans. We can apply the same trust and comfort factor to each other, but we seldom do. Those are seeds for our own window boxes. I won't grow owls, but I'll work on my ability to make others feel safe. Check out how one family and wild owls live together. Click to see the film clip.

why do the older specs always get a speed decrease ... why can't we have 22-24x DVD-R and 52x CD-R as well? I noticed this with newer DVD burners as well... they lowered the burn speed on CDs I'd like to just have the one drive when I upgrade... but I guess I'll have to have 2... limits case options a bit since I'll be keeping this SONY 20X DVD±R DVD Burner with 12X DVD-RAM 20X DVD...
I personally prefer that the manufacturers focus on Blu-ray performance at the expense of CD/DVD. The difference in time between burning an entire CD at 40X vs 52X is about 25 seconds. Compare that to the difference in burning a Blu-ray disc at 15X vs 12X at 90 seconds. Eventually there will come a point where the speed gains are too small to be reasonable, but that hasn't occurred yet. My guess is that the focus on Blu-ray is a cost saving measure. If you have three of the best lasers (CD/DVD/BD) available in one disc drive it would be significantly more expensive to produce than a drive with one good BD laser and two mediocre CD & DVD lasers. Plus, marketing would probably have a challenge convincing consumers to buy a Blu-ray drive because of it's DVD and CD speeds.
I agree 100%, CD's are a dead format, and DVD's are on their way out for mass storage, the last time I burned a CD was back in high school and that was over 10 years ago. I don't see the loss of 1-4 x performance on a format that's dead as anything bad.
External is the way to go I dont even have one physically installed on my Antec 1100. I use an external drive that way I can use it on a laptop if needed.
They SHOULD be lowered more than they are. You should NEVER burn any optical disc at more than 25% of its rated speed anyway.
