"This dish combines the complementary colors and flavors of avocado, lime, green onion, tomato, garlic and cilantro with chili. The whole lot is dressed over a bed of pasta to complete the meal." — sal
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (8 ounce) package uncooked spaghetti
1 avocado - pitted, peeled, and cubed
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 (15 ounce) can vegetarian chili
1/3 cup sliced green onion
2 large tomatoes, diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Great Recipe, was quick to make and tasted great. It sit's pretty light and we used it as a quick dinner. Will definately be making this more often.
Not bad, but needed a little something more. I liked adding salsa for a bit more flavor. I would make this again but include some changes. Cheese would add a nice touch
17 Ratings
Tastes very good with sour cream.
I picked this recipe because it seemed simple and it included similar ingredients from the Caribbean sweet potato salad that I also made. Once I cooked everythinng, I was a little intimadated bc it seemed an odd combination, but, suprisingly--it was very delicious--esp if you love avocados, as I do.
Good light pasta dish! I left out the vegetarian chili, added a cup of frozen corn to the cooking pasta, substituted bowtie pasta for the spaghetti and topped the dish with feta cheese. My picky husband and daughter both liked it.
We really enjoyed this dish, and it was so quick and easy to make. I used bowtie pasta instead of angel hair & regular white onion instead of green onion, and we agreed to try it next time using turkey chili to give it more of a kick. Overall very satisfied!
Although this was interesting and extremely healthy, it wasn't a total hit. I love avocado, so this left me somewhat satisfied, but did little for anyone else. Also, it was a lot of chopping and effort for something that I could only give 3 stars.
Yum! This is a keeper! Easy, appeals to me, and appeals to my kids. It fits all of my criterea for a great meal!

i bought this set for vacation fun with my 2-yr-old granddaughter. We had hours of good playtime with it-- literally hours! The first time I brought it out she was fascinated for over two hours, playing by the rules of "one color at a time" and learning how to use the animal-shaped cookie cutters and the extruding machine. (And learning how to clean the extruder with a toothpick.) We had lots of practice with colors, and shapes, and putting the rollers together in different ways and cutting things into fractions. She learned "half" in just a few minutes. Your imagination is the limit, and 2 is not too young for supervised play.

The special part of this set is the "Play Doh extruder", which is a plastic toy that you jam play doh into and squeeze it out in different shapes (spaghetti, tapes, star, etc.). My kids love using this, except it's hard to remove play doh from the small slits that the plastic mold piece slides into, which means the play doh dries in there and then the next time you use it, it's hard to slide the plastic piece in. I have to dig out the dried play doh with a butter knife. Not so fun for me.

A classic great sensory play. Got this as a gift for a 3 year old and she loves it.
Super fun for the whole family!
By Phoenix's Momma
from Grand Haven, MI
Santa brought this for my 3 year old son for Christmas this year and he loved it! The whole family had fun making items out of play doh using the cookie cutters, spagetti machine, and using the plastic knife.Only reason why I gave this 4 stars out of 5 was the fact that some of the cookie cutters that were in the package were duplicates! It would have been nice if everything had a different shape on it. My son, husband, and myself had a wonderful family time using this set. I would so buy another one next year for him again!

Not the best Play-Doh Set
By Angie Mom of three
from Delphi, IN
Our youngest is three and she loves Play-Doh products. We were disappointed after using the extruder. It is very hard to clean and the dough sticks all over the inside. This does have a lot of pieces and she loves all the cookie cutters. I have read that if you let the dough dry out a little it does not stick, so we are going to try this. This set was still a good price considering all the pieces it came with.

Cheap plastic; easily breakable pieces
By Nonna
from Harrisburg, PA
Play Doh accessories were on the market while my children were growing up in the 70's and they were much more substantial and sturdy. I was very disappointed in the cheap pieces of plastic and the bendable/breakable slider of shapes that fit on the main "factory". It's also hard to clean out to change doh colors. My grandson almost broke it the first time he picked it up. I'd rather pay a few dollars more for quality and how about making it in the USA???
Creative fun!
By Mom of two girls
from Missouri
See all my reviews
I looked everywhere for a nice basic set of play doh accessories and this one definitely fit the bill. It came with just enough play doh for a child new to it (3 1/2 years old) and had all of the basics like the cookie cutters, roller, thing that you squeeze the doh out of (not sure what it's called), etc. My daughter is a bit young for some of the more elaborate sets that make different kinds of food and whatnot so this was perfect.

As interventional procedures expand radiology beyond diagnostics, to treatment, equipment manufacturers are providing the technology to keep up with this trend.
Interventional CT suite
Picker International (Cleveland) recently announced its VenueTM suite for x-ray computed tomography (CT), designed to meet interventional radiology and radiation oncology needs. The suite includes PinPointTM (figure 1), an interventional planning tool; fluoro-assisted computed tomography (FACTSTM), a C-arm fluoro x-ray unit integrated into the CT system; continuous CT (CCTTM), a real-time reconstruction process; and C-ViewTM, which integrates a C-arm within the CT suite for fluoroscopic and digital-subtraction technology.
PinPoint is a frameless stereotactic device that includes an articulated stereotactic arm integrated into the CT scanner. The device enables radiologists to visualize and plan the simulated instrument path in relation to the target area, according to Picker. "All possible paths can be considered and critical structures can be safely avoided," said the company.
With FACTS, fluoroscopy can be used to visualize the delivery of treatment devices, with follow-up CT confirmation of the location-in one step, without moving the patient. Continuous CT can guide minimally invasive therapies involving motion prone areas, such as the thorax and diaphragm regions. And C-View provides "complete endovascular capability in the CT suite," according to Picker.
New oncology division
In May, Picker announced the formation of an oncology division. "The new division will incorporate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), x-ray, ultrasound, and CT imaging modalities to provide the most advanced treatment planning system possible for oncology patients," said Tim Hansen, executive vice president at Picker. The company's ACQSIMTM, a CT planning system for external-beam radiation therapy, is a main product in the oncology division. According to Picker, the ACQSIM has an installed base of 200, holds 70% of the market share, and has led the conversion to 3-dimensional (3D) volume treatment planning.
The new Venue interventional radiology product line is being incorporated into the oncology systems division "to improve brachytherapy treatment for cancer patients," said Picker. "The combination of brachytherapy and external beam radiation gives us optimal tools for success," said James Hevezi, PhD, of The Cancer Therapy and Research Center (San Antonio, TX). With the PinPoint stereotactic arm and FACTS digital fluoro, "we can increase target precision" with "an innovative way of planning these procedures," said Dr. Hevezi.
Picker has established a medical advisory board to work on developing an oncology-specific CT device, according to Stephen Whisenhunt, general manager of oncology systems.
Uninterrupted interventional CT
According to GE Medical Systems (Milwaukee), the company's recently developed software called SmartViewTM allows radiologists "to conduct interventional CT procedures without interruption." Previously, high-quality images for CT-guided procedures were available, but did not match the speed of traditional fluoroscopy or ultrasound.
"SmartView was designed to overcome the trade-off between image quality and speed by reducing extraneous procedure time," said Ken Denison, manager of Americas CT Marketing at GE. "In a routine biopsy situation, for example, real-time imaging allows interventional radiologists to follow the needle all the way from the entry point to the target." Adjustments in trajectory can be made by monitoring the images displayed on an in-room image monitor, he explained, which is particularly helpful when multiple attempts are needed to place the needle correctly.
GE offers SmartView for its HiSpeedTM CT/i system. The mobile, flat-screen monitor can be positioned in the physician's line of sight during an interventional procedure. The real-time images allow for uninterrupted monitoring of the needle trajectory, eliminating the need to leave the scanning room to view images and return to make necessary adjustments. This technology, noted GE, makes the interventional procedure more efficient and also improves patient comfort.
Monitoring biopsies with CT fluoroscopy
Philips Medical Systems North America Company (Shelton, CT) is developing CT fluoroscopic capabilities for its line of Tomoscan Advanced Volume (AV) CT systems equipped with RapidViewTM. CT BiopsyView will enable physicians to monitor a range of interventional procedures in real-time. The fluoroscopic feature is intended for use in nonvascular applications in the lung, retroperitoneum, skeletal system, spine, and intracranium.
Real-time monitoring will allow radiologists to correct for depth and direction of the needle puncture during the procedure, without having to wait for image reconstruction to check needle placement. In addition, the fine-needle control should reduce complications and increase accuracy. According to Philips, CT fluoroscopy should reduce the need for multiple scans to localize the lesion and needle tip. Additionally, a high frame-rate should nullify the impact of patient motion on image quality. The company predicts that CT fluoroscopy would reduce the biopsy procedure time by one-half to one-third.
Cook Inc. (Bloomington, IN) recently acquired Global Therapeutics (Broomfield, CO) to acquire new devices for interventional radiology, cardiology, and critical care. The Cook product line will now include a cold-laser, catheter-based system to treat neointimal hyperplasia (restenosis), a balloon for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA), and several coronary stents.
Usually, when radiologists discuss a three-dimensional (3D) volume created from tomographic data, they mean a 3D image on a workstation monitor or laser printout. Now, that image can become truly volumetric, transformed into a plastic anatomic model based on data generated from an x-ray computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) study (figure 2).
"Fused deposition modeling" technology
MedModeler, based on "fused deposition modeling" technology, was recently granted 510(k) pre-market clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Indicated as an "image processing accessory," the device uses 3D surface-representation data or 2D contour data to create models made of medical-grade, nontoxic plastic. It can be used in a hospital or office environment. The build area is up to 10 ¥ 10 ¥ 10 inches, and the device is compatible with Windows NT and UNIX systems. According to Stratasys (Eden Prairie, MN), the manufacturer, MedModeler interfaces with "qualified CT/MR converter software packages."
The device can "support the needs of the surgeon and radiologist by providing a modeling system that can create patient-specific models," said Lisa Crump, vice president of business development at Stratasys. "A physician can gain additional information for making a diagnosis by examining a 3D model. The surgical team can utilize the model to formulate or rehearse operating techniques in advance of surgery, or as an aid in communication," she added.
Rapid prototyping technology replaces machine tooling
Stratasys, founded in 1989, manufactures rapid prototyping devices for medical, industrial, and consumer applications. Traditionally, engineers created 3D models and prototypes with conventional fabrication methods, such as machine tooling. With rapid prototyping, an engineer (or radiologist, technologist, etc.) can develop a model directly from computer data within minutes or hours.
Instead of carving a model from a larger piece of material, rapid prototyping is based on layering together thin, horizontal cross-sections of a computer-generated model. The layers may consist of plastic, wood, ceramic, or metal. With this layer-building approach, rapid prototyping machines can build almost any shape, including anatomic structures.
In the fused deposition modeling used by MedModeler, a temperature-controlled head extrudes thermoplastic material layer by layer, like a stack of CT or MR slices. As the material solidifies, it laminates to the preceding layer. S. Scott Crump, chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) of Stratasys, developed fused deposition modeling in 1988. Its U.S. patent was issued in 1992.
Did you ever wonder what consultants say to health maintenance organizations (HMOs) and managed care organizations (MCOs) when they're pitching to win the business of managing radiology services and to cut imaging costs? Here are excerpts from a brochure and cover letter sent to Applied Radiology from a "managed care imaging company."
"Establish clinically appropriate practice patterns and cost reductions will come."
"Simply cutting services will not reduce costs; changing practice patterns will."
"One of the most effective tools for reducing costs, our precertification program applies nationally recognized protocols to imaging requests-and fast."
Comparing utilization with "peer norms"
The company uses "comparative analysis and reporting software" to provide in-depth analyses of radiology practices that allow HMOs and MCOs to "compare practice patterns, utilization, and costs to similar provider groups or organizations." The company analyzes "cost and frequency of imaging services by diagnosis groups, clinical indicators (positivity, negativity, appropriateness), usage of multiple modalities or repeated imaging exams across a given diagnosis," as well as other data.
Reports can be generated that compare the statistical and clinical results of referring physicians. These comparative data help "in understanding how the imaging dollar is distributed relative to peer norms." The company "will then issue a letter to physicians who are ordering procedures unnecessarily, and will educate them on proper ordering for specific diagnoses."
The company predicts "it is able to save healthcare organizations up to 30% in imaging costs-without compromising quality of care."

The never cease to amaze me with there ability to brew awesome beers and how conscoius they are of thier community. The 10 year alt was fantastic. I had this on tap at Barley's in Asheville. It was brought out by the waitress is a pint glass. The appearance was a translucent rust brown/amber. The head was off white adn tightly laced. The nose was wrapped in almonds, caramel, and bitter sweet malt and hop eshters. The mouth was smooth and bursting with great flavors. At first a slight fruitiness-possibly light plum and apricot brouth out from the 8.5% abv, then in the middle of the tongue the almond and caramel. The hops cleaned everything up beautifully and a lingering note of bitter settled nicely in the mouth. A must try for all who love beer and brew aniversaries.

Pours an orange hue, with distinctly drawn yellow highlights. Starts cloudy, but clears as it warms. Aroma is that of candied orange peel, very sweet, very simple. Not particularly inspiring, but fine, all the same. Taste certainly has a bit of the cellar in it, a touch musty, decidedly mellow, with a just-barely rough finish from the hops. There is the honeyed suggestion of a stronger, and frankly, more British style of strong ale than that of a traditional sticke alt. A kind of roasted meat flavor creeps up here and there. Mouthfeel is fine and well. Could stand to be a hair firmer to off-set the sweetness, but that may be the result of a half-decade of age. Drinkability is fairly low; one is fine -- even a half glass would work for me. Split a bottle with someone, as this is more of a curio than anything else.

Aroma of deep caramel malt is very nice with some subtle toffee notes also noticeable. Taste is very refreshing with some rich caramel malt notes and some balance sweetness. Hops are very hard to distinguish which is a good thing since the malt bill is generous enough and need no complement. Full body with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Interesting take on the style and easily drinkable.

Head is about a finger thick and light brown. Quickly fades to a very thin cap of foam. Leaves rings of lace down the glass. S - Rich malty aroma with lots of fresh baked bread and a hint of caramel. Light hint of alcohol in the nose as well. Earthiness underneath begins to come through stronger as the beer warms. T - Malty sweet up front with lots of caramel and breadiness mixed together nicely. Earthy spiciness as well but domintaed by the maltiness. Surpisingly strong booziness given that it is under 9%. M/D - Medium to full bodied and very chewy. Very malty is that is your thing. Booziness brings the drinkability down a notch.

The head is pretty frothy and retains fairly well. S: Definitely malt dominant. Lots of wheat and bready notes as well. Also picking up some sweet caramel, brown sugar, and the classic German yeast. Slightly fruity as well. T: Same as the nose. Malt dominant, wheat is big, yeast is unique and plays a big part in the flavor profile. Sweet caramel, sugars, and fruits. MF/D: Medium/heavy mouthfeel, wheaty lingering finish. Overall not too bad, just not terribly complex or delicious. Worth a try though.

I pop the cap and come back after writing an email and thier is 2 inch growth hanging from the bottle. There is huge carbonation that is chunky and heavy and puffy. When its poured into the glass the beer is very dark brillant amber color with a huge 5 finger light tan head that lasts several minutes. The peak of the head is awesome with big bublles and creaminess that makes you want to let your lips sleep on it. The lacing is great. As that huge head falls it coats the whole glass, like a film falling all the way to the body. The aroma is very malty, lots of sweetness and spice. The taste is almost very malty, reminds me of a lighter quad. There is light hops and a very nutmeg spice finish that lasts a little to long. The mouthfeel is very heavy and sticky Serving type: bottle 11-12-2009 03:51:03 | More by jrallen34 indiapalealeMassachusetts 4/5 rDev +1.5% look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4 Pours a very nice looking ruby red/amber color that is practically opaque in appearance with a super rich inch+ of thick fluffy off white head. I get a huge whiff of brown sugar/caramel as I am pouring this, wow, that is a very sweet/saccharine-y smell emanating from this pour. Once it settles the extremely sweet smell remains as does a bit of a lemony citrus smell but mainly its rich, sweet malt, brown sugar and just a hint of dark unfiltered apple cider. Taste is a lot of that rich sweet malt, some bitterness in the finish but a lot of those smells come out in the taste, definitely the apple cider, some tart and tangy cherry and a bit of lemon peel. Very rich and sweet but very drinkable and delicious. Great stuff, this one is on the way out (but still excellent) so I can imagine some of the fresh stuff is amazing.

Appears a hazed rich amber color with about a finger of light tan foam. The head leaves no lace to speak of. Smell and tastes is sweet and malty, with notes of toasted bread, toffee, caramel, and a touch of bitter earthy hops. medium in both body and carbonation. Worthy of at least a try. Serving type: bottle 05-13-2009 05:25:44 | More by ClockworkOrange biegamanOntario (Canada) 4.18/5 rDev +6.1% look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4 A bright amber with shreds of banana and cherry smeared across. The head was initially prominent, it's now desisted mostly to the belt line. Some spots are darker and miry while others shine against the light. Indeed, the beer offers a painter's palate worth of amber toned colours. Let's hope it offers just as much from the gourmand's palate as well! There isn't much left out for the nose except copious amounts of buttery caramel but that's more than enough to quickly fix it in close in a magnet-like fashion. Worth mentioning also are tangy herbals, fragrant flowers and over-ripening, alcohol drenched fruits. The beer's virtues are much more vividly tasted. The dry, bready flavour of various grains - rye, most distinctively - make up the breadth and body of the beer. Each sip lathers the palate in a light spice, an herbal hop bitterness, almonds, a drop of molasses and a few heaping tablespoons of thick caramel. This is tremendously (deliciously) malty. The Düsseldorf board of tourism might as well set up shop in Downingtown Pennsylvania. If there was ever one good reason to travel to North Rhine-Westphalia then Victory quite clearly makes the case. I can't speak with confidence to the historical accuracy of the style but I can certainly attest to the tastiness and craftsmanship of this rendition. It may be a Doppelsticke but this is as rich as a Doppelbock. Although the alcohol is noticed, there's enough sticky sweet maltiness to bury it from memory by the conclusion of each sip. It persists still to leave a bit of a buzz in the mouth, aided surely by the spicy tang of the hops. Despite its warming element, the beer is still incessantly refreshing. Apparently Victory believes their Doppelsticke might have been the first of its kind brewed in the US. Although I doubt that claim, I wouldn't at all dispute that it's the best of its kind in the US. It's a very good thing the brewery decided to continue to brew this long after their tenth anniversary - not to would have been nothing short of cruel. Thanks DrJay!

By Mayo Clinic staffOriginal Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/pneumonitis/DS00962
Pneumonitis (noo-moe-NIE-tis) is a general term that refers to inflammation of lung tissue. Although pneumonia is technically a type of pneumonitis because the infection causes inflammation, most doctors are referring to other causes of lung inflammation when they use the term "pneumonitis."
Factors that can cause pneumonitis include exposure to airborne irritants at your job or while you participate in your hobbies. Some types of cancer treatments as well a dozens of drugs also can cause pneumonitis.
Difficulty breathing — often accompanied by a cough — is the most common symptom of pneumonitis. Specialized tests are necessary to make a diagnosis. Treatment focuses on avoiding irritants and reducing inflammation.
The most common sign of pneumonitis is shortness of breath, which may be accompanied by a dry cough. If pneumonitis is undetected or left untreated, you may gradually develop chronic pneumonitis. This is especially common in cases of hypersensitivity pneumonitis, in which you may be continually exposed to a lung irritant without realizing it. Signs and symptoms of chronic pneumonitis include:
- Shortness of breath
- Cough
- Fatigue
- Loss of appetite
- Unintentional weight loss
When to call a doctor
Call your doctor anytime you have difficulty breathing.
Airways and air sacs of the lungs |
Pneumonitis occurs when some irritating substance causes the tiny air sacs (alveoli) in your lungs to become inflamed. This inflammation can interfere with the delivery of oxygen to your bloodstream.
A variety of irritants, ranging from airborne molds to chemotherapy drugs, have been linked to pneumonitis. But for most people, the specific substance causing the inflammation is never identified. Pneumonitis causes may include:
- Drugs. A variety of drugs used to treat other conditions can cause pneumonitis, including some antibiotics, several types of chemotherapy drugs and medications that keep your heartbeat regular. An overdose of aspirin can cause pneumonitis.
- Molds. Specific varieties of mold-related pneumonitis have received nicknames, such as "farmer's lung" or "hot tub lung."
- Birds. Exposure to feathers or bird excrement is a common cause of pneumonitis.
- Radiation treatments. Some people who undergo radiation therapy to the chest, such as for breast or lung cancer, may develop pneumonitis. Pneumonitis also can occur after whole-body radiation therapy, which is needed to prepare a person for a bone marrow transplant.
Risk factors
Occupations or hobbies
Some occupations and hobbies carry higher risks of pneumonitis, including:
- Farming. Many types of farming operations expose workers to aerosolized mists and pesticides. Inhaling airborne particles from moldy hay is one of the most common causes of occupational pneumonitis. Mold particles also can be inhaled during harvests of grain and hay.
- Bird handling. Poultry workers and people who breed or keep pet birds are often exposed to droppings, feathers and other materials that can cause pneumonitis.
- Hot tubs and humidifiers. Moldy conditions in hot tubs can trigger pneumonitis, because the bubbling action makes a mist that can be inhaled. Home humidifiers are another common reservoir for mold.
Cancer treatment
Some chemotherapy drugs can cause pneumonitis, as can radiation therapy to the lungs. The combination of the two increases the risk.
Pneumonitis that goes unnoticed or untreated can cause irreversible lung damage. Normally, air sacs within your lungs stretch and relax with each breath. Chronic inflammation of the thin tissue lining each air sac can make the air sacs scar and become inflexible — stiff like a dried sponge. This is called pulmonary fibrosis. In severe cases, pulmonary fibrosis can cause heart failure, respiratory failure and death.
Preparing for your appointment
While you may initially consult your family physician, he or she may refer you to a pulmonologist — a doctor who specializes in lung disorders.
What you can do
You may want to write a list that includes:
- Detailed descriptions of your symptoms, including when they began and if anything seems to make them worse or better
- Information about medical problems you've had and their treatments
- Information about the medical problems of your parents or siblings
- All the medications and dietary supplements you take
- Questions you want to ask the doctor
What to expect from your doctor
A thorough medical history and physical exam can provide important clues about what might be causing your symptoms. Your doctor may ask some of the following questions:
- Do you now or have you ever smoked tobacco?
- What types of occupations have you had?
- Do you have a hot tub or humidifier at home?
- Are you ever around pigeons or pet birds?
Tests and diagnosis
Spirometer |
To distinguish pneumonitis from other lung disorders, you'll likely have one or more of the following tests.
Imaging tests
In most cases, pneumonia affects only a small, localized portion of your lungs, while the effects of noninfectious pneumonitis are often spread throughout all five lobes of your lungs.
- Chest X-ray. This painless test causes a small amount of radiation to pass through your chest to produce images of your lungs. X-rays take only a few minutes to perform.
- Computerized tomography (CT). CT scans combine X-ray images taken from many different angles into detailed cross-sectional images. This painless test involves lying on a narrow table that slides into a large, doughnut-shaped machine. CT scans typically take less than 15 minutes to perform. Computerized tomography gives much greater detail of changes in your lungs than what a chest X-ray can provide.
Pulmonary function tests
A test called spirometry measures the amount of air that you're able to inhale and exhale in a specific period of time. Your doctor may also measure how efficiently your lungs transfer gases from the air into the bloodstream during exercise.
Another way to assess the efficiency of your lungs is to measure the oxygen saturation in your blood with an oximeter — a device that painlessly clamps on your finger.
A bronchoscopy is a procedure that uses a flexible tube threaded down your throat to view your airways and collect samples from your lungs. Once the tube is in place, your doctor may flush a section of your lung with a saltwater solution to collect lung cells and other materials. This flushing procedure is known as a lavage. Your doctor may also insert a tiny tool through the bronchoscope to remove a small sample of cells from the lung tissue for testing.
Surgical lung biopsy
In some cases, your doctor may want to examine a larger sample of tissue from several locations within your lungs that cannot be reached via bronchoscopy. A surgical procedure to obtain these samples may be necessary.
Treatments and drugs
If you have hypersensitivity or chemical pneumonitis, avoiding allergens is a common-sense approach to treatment. By eliminating exposure to the allergen or chemical irritating your lungs, you'll likely notice that your symptoms lessen.
In severe cases of pneumonitis, treatment may include:
- Corticosteroids. Drugs that reduce inflammation, such as prednisone, can help relieve the symptoms of pneumonitis. Corticosteroids are usually taken as a pill. These drugs work by suppressing your immune system, reducing inflammation in your lungs. However, long-term corticosteroid use also increases your risk of developing infections and is associated with the thinning of bones (osteoporosis).
- Antibiotics. If you have a bacterial infection in your lungs, your doctor may prescribe an antibiotic, which may be given through a vein in your arm or taken as a pill, depending on the severity of the infection.
- Oxygen therapy. If you're having a lot of trouble breathing, you may need oxygen therapy through a mask or plastic tubing with prongs that fit into your nostrils. Some people need oxygen therapy constantly, while others might need it only during exercise or sleep.
Lifestyle and home remedies
A diagnosis of pneumonitis may mean that you'll have to make changes to your lifestyle in order to improve your health.
For example, if your job duties expose you to substances that irritate your lungs, talk to your doctor and supervisor at work about options to protect yourself, such as wearing a pollen mask or personal dust respirator. If a hobby, such as owning birds, is causing the problem, you'll have to consider giving it up altogether.

Health Care Compliance
"We hear a great deal about Healthcare Reform�, says Capullo, "and collectively the private, public and governmental sectors strive to increase awareness and integrate checks and balances that are beginning to pay off. But reform without compliance will not work…�
Healthcare is not like purchasing a Home Entertainment System instead of a basic television. The former is more expensive as it takes more intricate circuits, materials and hours to create.
But, healthcare is different, particularly today when nearly every medical condition is "treated" in some fashion. Surprisingly, high-quality healthcare can also be the lowest in cost. The reason? Lower costs arise when the patient stays healthy or recovers more quickly. So, is it simply getting the diagnosis "right"? In part, yes, as huge savings are recognized when unnecessary treatment is avoided.
Is this the only secret to success? Not according to Anthony Capullo, President/CEO of Professional Provider Services, Inc., a Healthcare Consulting firm specializing in the development of corporate compliance programs. "We hear a great deal about Healthcare Reform", says Capullo, "and collectively the private, public and governmental sectors strive to increase awareness and integrate checks and balances that are beginning to pay off. But reform without compliance will not work, and compliance programs cannot be manuals that collect dust on the shelf. Rather, compliance starts at the top of an organization and healthcare is no exception. Executives must know and be held accountable for the practices that shape the governance and integrity of the organization."
"Compliance is also sound business," says Mike George, Vice President of Operations. "Compliance problems are often caused by broken processes. If you can fix what is broken you can ultimately save money." The solutions are not simple, and it appears the work has just begun, but according to experts like Capullo and George, "As long as there are large amounts of money available in government funded healthcare, people will become greedy and try to steal some of it. Compliance programs help uncover waste that can lead to intentional or unintentional overpayments for healthcare services rendered on behalf of the government."

November 18, 2011 • In web :: Features
The Arab Spring
Writer Sima Sahar Zerehi spent much of her time tracking the Middle Eastern and North African revolutions on Twitter. She put together a primer on what happened over the past few months in these regions.
"Where were you when Mubarak resigned? #Jan25 #Egypt"
This was a tweet I sent out the day after the despotic and now disgraced Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak was finally forced to resign due to massive public protests, which focused on legal, political and economic issues. Mubarak, who managed to stay in power for almost 30 years, resigned after weeks of determined protests and pressure. He faced allegations of corruption and abuse of power as well as charges of premeditated murder of protesters. The uprising in Egypt is still continuing today with much uncertainty and instability rocking the country.
The tweet speaks to the fact that even in the midst of the uproar and chaos of the events of the day--we were conscious that we were living in a historical moment worth encapsulating.
The night before, a world was glued to their computer, television and mobile phone screens--for me it was CNN, Al Jazeera and Twitter--I was desperate for fresh news and the opportunity to share this experience with others who recognized its implications. It was surreal to see what was being played on American, Canadian and British television stations--jubilant images of smiling, dancing, singing Arab youth in Egypt's Tahrir square.
This was unprecedented. For me, this was the first time that masses of Arab and Middle Eastern looking people were shown on Western TV channels as the good guys rather than the terrorists, fundamentalists, and threats to security. Jaded, seasoned television journalists reporting live from the square were gushing about the peaceful protestors, clearly moved by their discipline as well as their commitment to their cause for change.
For a generation of young people, particularly those of us who are Middle Eastern, North African, Muslim, or Arab, this moment in Tahrir Square spoke to a seismic shift in the political terrain.
This moment was the antidote we so needed for the nightmare of September 11.
This was the moment when the West finally differentiated between the people of North Africa and Middle East and the oppressive and despotic regimes of our homelands.
This was the proof we needed to show that you don't need to bomb our region for liberation--that change can happen internally through the mobilization of the grassroots and the empowerment of media savvy youth.

What Are Credit Reports?Credit reports are prepared by companies called credit bureaus. Credit bureaus collect information about your history of payments on bills and loans. If a car dealer, bank, landlord, credit card company or other business is considering doing business with you, they may buy a credit report from a credit bureau to see whether you are a good risk. Some employers will also do a credit check on you when you apply for a job.
You must be told if a credit report has been used against you. Anyone who uses a credit report against you - - for example, deny an apartment, a job or credit - - must tell you in writing the name, address and phone number of the bureau that provided the report.
How Do I Get A Copy of My Report?
There are three national credit bureaus. If possible, you should get a copy of your report from all three. Their phone numbers are:
Equifax(800) 685-1111
Experian(888) 397-3742
TransUnion(800) 916-8800
Mistakes are common in credit reports. If you spot a mistake on your report, you should take the following steps:
A credit bureau can not report negative information that is more than seven years old with these exceptions:
Visit Credit and Credit Reports at LawHelpMN.org for more information.
Old debts can prevent you from buying a house, getting a credit card or renting an apartment. Creditors may be able to garnish your wages or bank accounts. On the other hand, not every old debt will stop you from getting credit. A bank or other business might care more that you have a steady job than that you have an old debt. Your first priority should always be taking care of your current situation - - paying your rent or mortgage and your utility bills in full, for example.
In some cases, you might legally owe the money but you might want to explain why. Perhaps you were working for a company that closed down. Perhaps your ex-husband ran up a big bill right before you divorced him. Perhaps you had a serious illness at a time when you had no health insurance. Write up a statement explaining the situation and give it to businesses or landlords that are getting credit reports about you.
If you can afford to pay off old debts, you may want to work out a plan that allows you to repay it in installments. If you would like help in clearing up your credit, call the Consumer Credit Counseling Service, (1-800-388-2227). CCCS is a non-profit group that provides advice and debt management at a low cost. If you are interested in buying a house, talk to a home ownership program in your area; they will help you work on your credit history.
In some cases, you may want to consider bankruptcy. Bankruptcy might make sense if you do not see any way of catching up on your bills, and your creditors are taking action against you - - garnishing your wages or intercepting your tax refunds, for example.
Visit Debt Collection and Garnishment at LawHelpMN.org for more information.
Watch out for "credit repair" companies that offer to help you hide bad credit or "create a new credit identity." It is a federal crime to make false statements on a loan or credit application or to misrepresent your social security number. Some credit repair companies advise people to get Employer Identification Numbers and use them instead of social security numbers. If you are doing this to hide bad credit, it is illegal. In general, beware of any group offering "credit repair." They may charge you money for bad advice or for things you could do yourself for free. Visit Credit and Credit Reports at LawHelpMN.org for more information.

Using nodetool setstreamthroughput to adjust decomission and other streaming peformance
Posted on August 3rd, 2012
Cassandra uses streaming in several places. Streaming is used when a node joins or leaves the ring. For example, when a node is decomissioned using nodetool decommission it streams its data to other nodes before leaving the ring. This value can be adjusted in both the confirguration file and during runtime using nodetool or JMX.
How to do it…
In the conf/cassandra.yaml file the default value can be set:
# When unset, the default is 400 Mbps or 50 MB/s. # stream_throughput_outbound_megabits_per_sec: 400
This command can be adjusted at runtime using nodetool. The value here is in MB/s
bin/nodetool -h cdbeq01 -p 8585 setstreamthroughput 51
Note: These changes need to be done per machine.
How it works…
setstreamthroughput is a rate limit. The default is 50 Mb/second. If you have a high speed network such as gigabit ethernew this value can be set higher to speed-up certain operations. For example, when doing nodetool decommission the decomission will finsih sooner if the configuration value is raised, assuming no other limiting factor is involved. However, you may wish to set the value lower to researve bandwidth and other resources for low latency operations.
There is more…
Remember that a network with Gigabit ethernet ports may not be capable of supporting 100% utilization on each port at the same time. Consult your network engineer and consider how many of these streaming or other operations bandwidth intensive are happening at once when adjusting this setting cluster wide.

At my signal, unleash hell
By JediSi (301 reviews) from Kent , 17 Sep 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
An old and tiring Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris) has chosen not to bequeath the Roman Empire to his solitary heir Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix) and has decided to entrust it to his greatest friend and General, Maximus (Russell Crowe). Forced to make a choice by the following morning, Maximus sleeps on the idea while Aurelius informs his son who kills his father as a result.
Maximus awakes hearing the news of the Emperor's demise, conscious of the true intentional successor. Rejecting allegiance to Commodus, Maximus is condemned to death and manages to escape. He travels home to save his family, only to find them already dead. With nothing left to loose, he lives his new life as a gladiator known as The Spaniard, seeking vengeance and retribution.
This is one of the finest epic tales conveyed on film. The action is mind-blowing. Gladiator does not hesitate to demonstrate the brutal realism of the roman Coliseum. Awe-inspiring surroundings bring Rome to life through articulate displays of architecture and the volumes of people quenching their thirst for the mindless violence shown within the Roman arena.
The film is flawless in every aspect and is one of the greatest films of all time.- Was this review helpful to you?

Greatest movie ever. Seriously.
By iuli2a (42 reviews) from Bristol , 28 Mar 2012I lost count how many times I watched this film and it never gets boring. Everything is just epic and incredibly well done, music, costumes, scenery, acting, directing, script, the quotes! ' My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius...'
I agree with another reviewer about Joaquin Phoenix's performance, which went underrated by many. He delivers one of his finest acting -portraying emperor Commodus- and I loved him every second.
It's a beautiful film, with great plot and it must be watched!- Was this review helpful to you?

Touche Eclat for teeth, the BriteSmile To Go Whitening Pen introduces a fresh, portable and fuss-free treatment to keep teeth looking healthy and pearly white. The pen doesn't replace traditional teeth whitening procedures, it simply gets rid of staining from tea, coffee and wine. The pen doesn't cause sensitivity and is very easy to apply.
Simply remove the cap, click until a small droplet of the minty gel is visible. Do this in the morning and leave on for 30 minutes before eating. Do not rinse. In the evening brush your teeth like normal, apply the gel and then go to sleep. The pen contains enough to do the top and bottom teeth for fifteen days straight. The effect should last around around 2 months, depending on lifestyle, i.e. how much you smoke or drink staining liquids. It can even last up to a year in some cases. The pen is great for those who don't want to mess around with teeth whitening trays. The only drawback is, that because of the bleaching agents in the whitening gel, the pen has to be prescribed by a dentist. But this does allow you to be monitored or ask any questions regarding the pen or application.
To make an appointment, please call 0207 724 3003, or email email@example.com . For further information, please visit www.nwsmiles.co.uk.
