Saving money on low cost flightsTimes are still tough for world travel with austerity budgets spreading and fuel/flight costs higher than ever, so consider a vacation destination that isn't long-haul and do some thorough research. There are obvious downsides to flying with low cost airlines so check 'legacy' airlines, their fares may be competitive if you take in account all the extras (food, drink, baggage+!) and if you have problems you are much more likely to receive satisfaction. Flight Tips 1: Book online and pay by debit card, (Ryanair may charge for this). If using a tour operator check they have ATOL insurance coverage. According to industry research the optimum time to pre-book is 8 weeks before departure. 2: Keep check-in baggage to the minimum, preferably zero, for cheap flights and ensure the airline knows how many bags you'll have. n.b. Ryanair will not permit musical instruments as hand baggage. 3: Eliminate any 'world care fund' or 'carbon footprint' contributions - they probably go straight into the airline's revenue stream. 4: If you already have travel insurance make sure the airline doesn't add it to your charge by default. If not, check offerings through a price comparison site, and consider multi-trip insurance if you take more than one holiday abroad in a year. 5: Check flight status before leaving home. 6: If you are planning to drive yourself to the airport, choose your parking area and book it well in advance to get the cheapest rate. Alternatively explore public transport options; buses are often fast and good value for couples, though not perhaps if travelling as a family. 7: Never change money at the departure airport - apart from a little emergency cash if essential. Check around before you leave for the best exchange deals; for example the UK's Post Office offers good value. If you forget and need some cash pronto, exchanges at your destination usually give better rates, assuming you don't arrive in the middle of the night. 8: Car hire costs differ dramatically place to place, so research will be required in this area too. If you're planning to head for a city first then drive around the country, it will be easier and cheaper to taxi or bus into town from the airport then rent a car after you've finished the city sightseeing. Check consumer rights and protection against airlines and tour operators going bust, hotel overbookings, TripAdvisor fake reviews and more on our Consumer Protection page. See our cheap flights comparison listings Using bank cards abroad efficientlyBuy goodies or pay bills (checks) with credit cards when on vacation as they provide insurance as well as delayed repayment but don't draw cash out from ATMs with them (unless it's a new-wave, no-fee card). Interest starts accruing immediately and bank exchange fees in addition to the ATM fee may be unreasonable. It's better to buy foreign cash at home from a commission-free provider though, of course when you travel you'll have to carry a fat wad around, so the best solution depends on the security of your holiday destination. If you travel a lot and want to get cash from an ATM do some research on transaction fees and get the lowest fee debit (not credit card) card you can find. Gap Year travellers might consider also acquiring a prepaid Travel Money Card (aka Currency Card) which can be loaded with any amount of any currency before travelling and then topped up by family or friends while the Gappist is still in the big nowhere. Compare prepaid Travel Money Cards. And of course never pay for anything abroad in your home currency (the exchange rate will be absurd), insist on paying in local currency. To summarise, buy stuff abroad with a credit card, but try to pay off the balance each month before interest charges blow the wheels off your trolley; get cash from ATMs with a debit card. Finally, don't go short of travel insurance if you're going to be participating in any kind of marginally dangerous activity, or even a non-dangerous activity in a third world location, that's NOT the way to save money! Use your brain while it's intact! Secure your Social network!Travelers logging onto social networks while abroad should ensure that they properly log out before leaving an internet café or similar because in some areas of Africa, East Europe and India it's not unknown for a watcher to access a tourist's Facebook (or similar) account after they leave and send a desperate message to family members about an accident/hospitalisation and needing money urgently. Money transferred disappears into a mystery account and no one's the wiser. Cheap Phones when travellingUsing data abroad can be expensive but most UK and US networks offer prepaid European travel data bundles –15 MB daily for a modest fee for example. In addition networks are obliged to cut you off when your monthly data bill reaches €50. To keep data bills as low as possible, iPhone users should install Onavo. Fire up this app in a new country and it keeps you updated as to your usage and compresses data heading into your phone, thereby squeezing perhaps 50 per cent extra out of any data bundle. The app is free from iTunes for now, but charges are planned. An Android version is scheduled for release later this month. For now, the 3G Watchdog app tracks your data use; it's free from the Android Market. Unfortunately, you could eat up a few megabytes just finding your hotel on Google Maps, so these tricks still don't exactly enable seamless home-and-abroad smart phone use. To avoid data bills altogether, switch roaming off before you leave. On an iPhone, push the data roaming slider to off at Settings>General>Network. Android users should uncheck data roaming at Settings>Wireless & Networks >Mobile Networks. This eliminates some of your phone's functionality, but it doesn't hobble it altogether – and has the odd benefit, such as extending battery life. Instant access to a local map is one of the smart-phone's key benefits for travel, and all is not lost if you're without a web connection. Android users can pre-download a map covering a 10-mile radius from anywhere: enable the 'Download map area' feature via the Labs tab in your Google Maps app and follow instructions. For iPhone users, an app called ForeverMap gives offline access to zoomable European country maps. Destinations outside Europe should be available soon. Download whatever countries you need over Wi-Fi before you leave. Any onboard map should work in tandem with your device's inbuilt GPS to guide you as you walk without using data. If you're downloading a travel guide app, make sure that it also includes 'offline maps'. The cheapest foreign phone options are 1 - Skype phone by internet via wifi on a laptop/smart phone/or even iPod Touch, costs are tiny tho' sound quality can be erratic. We're especially impressed by international video calls from a iPod Touch 4 in a wifi zone to a PC via Skype, incredible sound quality and pretty good pictures. USE WIFI WHERE POSSIBLE. 2 - sign up with the new breed of cheap international calls providers. 3 - get a 'world' sim card at home or buy a new sim card on arrival at your destination and change the card over. The main drawback is number will be new and you may have to own an unlocked phone (either get your unlocked or buy an already unlocked extra phone), but it's convenient and you only pay for what you use if you buy the right package. 4 - check out new generation phone cards to call just about anywhere.

Bad Hair Day
Hair can get out of control in any season, but summer's heat and humidity can pose extra challenges when it comes to taming unruly locks. When this happens — and whether your hair frizzes or falls flat — there are easy repairs you can make yourself.
By the editors at Daily Glow
Having a bad hair day can be enough to make you want to just stay home. Curly hair can frizz, straight hair can go limp, and wavy hair can go either way. Sometimes you just have bedhead — hair that sticks out or flattens exactly where you don't want it to. Then there are the days when your hair isn't at its best because you didn't have time to give it a needed shampoo.
Summer can make the situation even worse. High temperatures and humidity, along with all those afternoons spent in the sun and water, can make hair become dry and harder to control. That's because the sun's rays can damage hair, and exposure to chlorine in pools and saltwater at the beach can add to the damage. What to do?
Preventing a Bad Hair Day
Proper hair care can go a long way toward preventing bad hair. Try the following strategies:
- Get a good haircut. A good cut makes hair easier to style. Then be sure to get your hair trimmed every six to eight weeks to keep it from growing out of its shape.
- Select a shampoo and conditioner for your hair type. If your hair is thin, lather up with a volumizing shampoo. If you have dry or damaged hair, try a leave-in conditioner for extra moisture.
- Avoid shampooing every day. Washing your hair too often can dry it out and make it harder to manage.
- Stay away from styling products that are high in alcohol, especially if your hair is dry. These can make hair brittle.
- Keep your hair natural. Letting curly hair curl and wavy hair wave doesn't just mean fewer bad hair days — it means hair that's easier to care for in general.
Fixing a Bad Hair Day
Even with your best efforts, it's not always possible to keep your hair looking good. Bad hair days do happen. But before you take refuge under a hat, try these tips:
- If your curly locks go frizzy, rub a little hand cream between your hands, then smooth it lightly over your hair to tame it.
- Rub dry, flyaway hair with a dryer sheet. Just as dryer sheets keep your skirt from clinging to your panty hose, they can keep hair from sticking together, which will make it easier to style.
- If your hair won't hold a curl, use a styling cream or gel to lock your look in place.
- No time to shampoo? Use a dry shampoo (a powder that absorbs oil to clean hair without water). Dry shampoos can also add volume.
- Accessorize. Pull or brush your hair back and put on a headband. If your locks are limp, clip them away from your face with a barrette. And remember, long hair can always be pulled into a pony tail.
- Try a hair extension to add length and fullness to your own hair. Permanent extensions are sewn or bonded to your hair and last about five months; clip-on extensions are attached to your hair with clips that are almost invisible.
- Get a wig (or two). Wigs cover up problem hair — and they can also give you an entirely new look.
The bottom line: Home repairs can turn your hair from bad to at least acceptable, so you don't have to let bad hair ruin your day.

text: Despite early buzz and standing anticipation, StarCraft: Ghost suffered numerous in its ambitious development schedule, and eventually lost its original developer due to commitments. The PS2 and Xbox versions continued on with a new developer, but in March of 2006, the current-gen games were put on indefinite postponement as chief overseer Blizzard moved its focus towards next-gen systems. The possibility is open for StarCraft: Ghost to be resurrected on other platforms, but the current-gen versions are essentially on hold and likely cancelled unless otherwise decided upon.

I didn't want to post this on the cleaning board. I know alot of you have hardwood floors. I just got new dark hardwood floors installed. I thought I could keep up using a microfiber dust mop. But then had to get out the broom and dustpan to get it off the floor. So I went out and bought a dustbuster......what a pain the the pa-tootie. SO...........does anyone use an electric broom on your hardwood floors? I'm thinking it's got to be alot easier than this. What do you do? What do you think? If you use one, can anyone recommend any specific kind? j | |||
what is the actual flooring material, and IF you know the name of the company, they should have the cleaner information for you. Whomever you bought it from should be able to help you. | ||||
| ||||
My sister-in-law uses a large Bona mop and cleaner on her dark wood floors. I use the Swiffer floor dust cloths because the dust clings to them--no more getting out a broom/dust pan. The dirt clings to the cloths. I've not found microfiber cloths or mops or towels to meet my cleaning demands. I know others love 'em. The Swiffer is not a microfiber cloth, as such. Don't know what it is, but they work much better. Just have to know where to get the refills. Yep, money on refills. That, or go through what you're doing.... | ||||
I am with you just josie.I have dark floors too.I use the Mr.Clean microfiber pads,then having to sweep in dust pan.I have siffer to,that uses disposible cloths too. I have used a few times my vaccum with hardwood floor attachment.It works but I hate dragging it out. I'm just ill at all the dust/dirt showing up.UGH...I'm almost ready for carpet again.Just so I dont see as much dust.LOL. | ||||
| ||||
Josie,it has great reviews.not a bad price either,light weight too.Now I'm wanting to head to Walmart at 10:45 pm,now to pick one up myself.Lets us know how it goes. My Jack Russell is shedding bad.This will help me with all that hair.I sweep and it moves all over the floor.Round & round I sweep.LOL | ||||
I like the reviews.....I like the price.....I like that it's lightweight.... Home Depot has it by me for 2.00 less than Wal-Mart.... I will post how I like it. j | ||||
A swiffer and my Dyson. | ||||
Years ago, when we had beautiful walnut stained wood parquet floors, we had to use a Swiffer daily and vacuum 1-2X a week...and we did not have any children or shedding animals underfoot. Every speck of dust was visible. That's why we no longer have dark wood floors! | ||||
I am waiting to hear how you like your new vacuum. I will need one for my house, I cannot use our vacuum so this could be a way I can do an in-between clean up! My DH has to vacuum now, and he LOVES this idea! | ||||
Wouldn't trade my dark floors for anything else but boy are they work! I swiffer throughout the day. Run the vacuum on tile setting every 2-3 days. When it needs a good cleaning I use Bona hardwood floor cleaner. | ||||
I have the very same dirt de vil and dark hardwood floors...it works okay. It's very loud! I don't like cleaning the filter or dumping the dust cup, either. After you use it, you'll still want to "dust" with a Swiffer or something (around the edges, under furniture)...it ***** up the big stuff. **Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...it's about learning to dance in the rain** | ||||
So most of us have dark floors and we dont like them...LOL.Well how the dust shows on them.We all should of let each other know this.LOL.I;m joking... I went to walmart today,they didnt have this one.So I got a bissell 3-in-1 like it thou.I havent used it yet,I will in the morning. Still waiting to see how Josies works. | ||||
For those of you who use 'swiffers' types of cloths, do you have to do this each and every day? | ||||
That's probably a situational question. We have 2 dogs, etc. so it was a daily thing--usually twice a day--morning, and right before The Husband got home from work. | ||||
I have dark wood floors and have no problem but I don't have any pets. I use a microfiber dustmop once or twice a week and the swiffer wetjet once a week. | ||||
OK....so I bought it today and I LOVE it! I'm short and so is this...it's cute, it's lightweight, fits in a really small space in the closet, and it worked great!!! I didn't think it was loud at all. http://www.walmart.com/ip/1432...wl4=&wl5=pla&veh=sem I got mine at Home Depot and it was less than 20.00... j | ||||
Oh Josie,so happy you like yours.It sounds perfect sized and works wonders. Whoo Hooo. I used mine this morning,it worked great too.Mine has a washable filter.I love that.I thank you for posting your thread and link to the sweeper.You made me go and find me one. | ||||
you're welcome! | ||||
I'm glad you found a solution. I still "swifter" mine (only with microfiber Bona mop heads because they're washable) and downstairs vacuum every day. But that's because I have a very sheddy corgi. And my floors aren't dark (my furniture is and I realized how dark shows dust so when we had them refinished we did them in a light color as they had been originally) either so it doesn't show AS BAD! Martha | ||||
Oh and once a week (unless they get dirty because of mud or snow and then I'll do it as they get dirty) I use a steam mop on them. Martha | ||||

Classic Rock magazine's Roll of Honor, in the midst of its eighth annual roll call, has announced ZZ Top as the first of its honorees.
"ZZ Top band members are excitedly gearing up to attend the 2012 Classic Rock Awards," guitarist Billy Gibbons said.
"A celebration held in a timely manner following the long awaited release of the new ZZ disc, La Futura. Good times for sure! We've stuck it out long enough to where this once unpredictable style, which has no basis other than oddness, brought us back into vogue."
Previous honorees include Iggy Pop, Jimmy Page, Alice Cooper, Lemmy, Jeff Beck and Ozzy Osbourne.
The eighth annual Orange Amplification Presents The Classic Rock Roll Of Honour in association with currencies.co.uk will take place at London's Roundhouse on Tuesday, November 13.

Serge Normant Meta Revive Dry Shampoo
Lea G.HairMedium BrownDry HairCurly HairWorst Dry Shampoo Ever!I have tried the following dry shampoos Batiste, Oribe, PSST, Bumble and Bumble and they all left my hair refreshed and easy to style. So, being a hair product junkie of course I was intrigued by Serge Normant's designer line and purchased it straight away to lengthen my day old blow out. My not so dirty hair is now instantly impossible to style and feels like 10 day old hair if I was stuck in a hospital bed and couldn't wash it! Yikes, I cant even get my Mason Pearson through my hair to get the product out. Very icky and the scent is heavy handed and smells like old school southern hair pomade for $1.97.posted Sep 22, 2012Link to this post

By Steve DeVane Staff writer
PINEHURST - A 97-year-old building up for sale in Pinehurst has everything you'd expect in a former firehouse - except the sliding pole.
The front of the building has two classic overhead doors where fire equipment was kept at the ready. Carts from the 1890s that held fire hoses and ladders still sit in the bays.
After receiving calls from potential buyers, the Village Council is now seeking bids for the building known as old Fire Station 91 on Community Road.
The price tag? At least $350,000.
Since it was built in 1916, it has been more than a fire station. It served as a community gathering place in Pinehurst's early days, said Fire Chief Carlton Cole.
It became a firehouse in 1930, he said, and was the fire department's home until 2006, when it relocated next to Village Hall on Magnolia Road.
An addition built in 1977 for larger firetrucks is now leased by a resident who has turned it into a skate park for his kids.
"There's a lot of history in this old building," Cole said.
Before it was converted to a firehouse, the structure was rotated so its side faced the front. Doing so required putting large poles under it and using mules to pull it around, he said.
In its early days, the fire chief and his family lived in an apartment in the firehouse. After he activated an alarm that would sound blasts, notifying firefighters of the fire's location, he picked up the firefighters and took them there.
The village's firefighters signed personal notes to secure payments for an expansion in 1977.
Assistant Village Manager Natalie Dean said she had been receiving calls of interest about the property about once a week and was showing it to a prospective buyer about every other week.
Since the council voted unanimously on Tuesday to put the building up for sale, she had received four new queries and had shown the building twice. The building has 2,948 square feet of heated space, 2,275 unheated square feet and 2,800 square feet of vehicle bays.
Dean said about 90 percent of the people who call about the building are interested in using it for a restaurant. The building is zoned "village mixed use," so commercial, office or residential use is permitted, she said.
"A broad range of uses is permitted under that zoning," she said. "You can do just about anything with it."
Village Manager Andy Wilkison said the building was appraised at about $400,000 several years ago.
The council decided Tuesday not to take less than $350,000 for the building, but could decide to change the minimum bid later.
"I don't think you're going to get that for it," Councilman Mark Parson said at the council work session Tuesday.
Parson said two local businessmen told him the building was worth no more than $250,000.
Bids will be accepted until Aug. 30 at 3 p.m. Bidders must provide a deposit equal to 5 percent of their bid.
"Hopefully, they'll preserve some of the history of the building and do something useful with it," Cole said.

There is NOTHING NOT to like about anything here! You can do, play, participate in almost anything! And, there are some fine, high-end outlets for dining. Memberships is exclusively expensive but you really do get what you pay for - everything! Want to learn to shoot pistols? rifles? archery? ride gorgeous horses? wave-board? race cars? 4-wheel it? paintball? or maybe... More
I've been here many times. Played paintball, fired some guns and now Go Kart. This place is always empty, staff are nice but guys from first entrance barely speak english and EVERY TIME give me wrong information about promotions....you buy the thing arrive inside and guy from activity you choose will tell you that you did not understand the offer... More
Al Forsan always amazes me. One can spend the whole day there with family or friends partaking in archery, horseback riding, go-carting, clay pigeon shooting, water skiing...etc., all with in one large and well organized campus. The service is very good and you can even have a sushi lunch which is not too bad. if you are in Abu Dhabi... More
A little bit expensive and you have to pay to drive in, but worth it? Don't read the rest of this text I have to waste 50 characters!
This place has it all and it was not even finished yet...shooting hand guns and automatic rifles, archery, go carts and wake boarding..lots of fun but at a price..
They charge you AED 100 per person before you even get through the gate. You do have the options to get food for the money but how much can you eat plus the food is not that great. It's also miles away from the city.
You have to pay an entry fee to access the "resort"! Probably the only place we have been to where there is some fee - with a family of 5, that makes it a very expensive proposition to pay and then pay for the activities. Didn't make any sense when there are other competing facilities which don't have this crazy... More
They have many activities, like karting, archery, shooting, etc. I went there for shooting. The staff was good, they gave us training before our shooting session started. Constant supervision by the staff made the game more interesting and we actually learned how to handle a gun. Also before the game started we were shown a catalog of guns, from which... More
For all, members or not. As a non member you have to book and pay an addition entrance fee but a part if this fee you get back through your booking. They have great sport to do like shooting, horse riding, paint ball etc. Great Place

Wow, that's trippi.But dangerous. I would advise don't mess around, could lead to harder spices. But, If any cure for onion ........
Amazing to see such unique greatness come out of what could have been viewed as a negative situation! This is incredible!
Jessica, "aplomb" (3rd paragraph, 1st line) means "poise". You used the term incorrectly here. You may open to many other things, e.g. applause, acclaim, horror, indifference, but you wouldn't open to aplomb.
Fantastic! We're thrilled to hear it's going so well!! Alexis and Arnaud in Tahoe!
The sad part is that the casino's own study shows that local bars and restaurants will suffer a 13% loss of business after the casino opens. In an industry that operates on such a small profit margin, this will mean that businesses will be forced to shut down. That will mean loss of tax revenue, higher unemployment and an overall job loss that is typically found in communities that host casinos. The City of Rohnert Park has already predicted a $6.25 million loss of sales revenue and the resulting loss of tax revenue for the city ($511,000 in the first year alone) as a result of casino traffic. One win, lots of losses. Read "10 Things Every Business Owner Should Know About Casinos" at http://tinyurl.com/n3gujab
I absolutely believe that tipping your wine host/hostess is appropriate. Having worked in the industry, I know that the hardworking folks with smiles, knowledge and a bottle in their hand are doing everything to get you as excited about the wines as they are - for $12 an hour. One would be foolish to not recognize that an average Denny's employee is likely bringing in more income (not to denigrate Denny's employees by any means). If a wine steward gets you feeling the rush of history, fruit and the passion going into a wine that demands you have some for yourself, reciprocation is in order. No question.
Is certain that Chefs Kronmark and Dopplefeild were able to offer top- notch training for our returning veteran warriors. Both have a professional demeanor that lends itself to proper guidance and direction rather than the idiotic, stereotypical shouting matches that are popularized by some current TV shows. These men have what it takes to provide the necessary ingredient for our wounded recovering vets... and that ingredient is heart.
Man, that sounds good. Let's get some the next time I'm in town, urall.
Spot on article. Angelo Chambrone is a force to be reckoned with in the culinary world of Northern California. His skill and passion will only increase with time.
He is a very talented young chef... and a great young man with loads of potential.
Wonderful article! I've known this kid (man? Haha.) since he was 11. I worked with him and his parents at Sweet Lou's and all I can say is that his blood ran as deep in passion for food as it does now. I've had the pleasure of enjoying his amazing menu at Barolo. They definitely scored with him in the kitchen. Congrats, Angelo!
Wish Criminal opened earlier one-two days a week...but this news is great!!!
do you know how ai could get in touch wtih Kevin Robinson? by e-mail or cel ph (not via Sonoma Spring Brewing.
Alison makes some killer wines, and I'd recommend anyone who enjoys Pinot Noir to try her Carneros or Rodgers Creek offerings. At $19/29 respectively, they're both a great deal and display some great flavors.
Great story young Nicolas. I might steal NSFD. Hilarious.
The wisdom of one's body is the best guide as to how one should eat. Some of us need to eat prior to beginning in earnest our day; some of us need protein, but can do without carbs and fat, at the start of the day; others can go for many hours after waking up without any negative, and perhaps possible, effects.
Nearing 60, I don't need to eat "first thing in the morning" like I did twenty or more years; and, not eating until noon, or later, feels right for me.
We do well by our body by listening to it about hunger—genuine hunger versus anxiety-induced or other psychologically-induced "need" to eat.
If you're not hungry at your traditional breakfast time, don't eat.
Thanks for another point of view about breakfast's necessity, one of many food and eating myths having achieved inappropriate unquestioned and potentional harmful status among too many of us.
So now what am I going to do with all these cocoa beans I ordered?
"but he comes out during harvest to tool around on a tractor and catch the Calistoga Speedway's"
Neat, upon what property is running a tractor?
Is he a part-time owner operator of a modest vineyard?
Are they making money from working for his father, twice?
Or does he has ownership of this business in Calistoga.
And is it solvent?
Beautiful Calistoga building with natural light and space on the corner.

Best Cooktop Ever
By Daily Cook
from Chicago, IL
About Me Avid Cook
Best Uses
Comments about GE Profile 30" Built-In Black Electric Cooktop:
I have been forced to use electric cooking for many years because of high-rise living. I cracked our previous GE cooktop and assumed this would simply replace it. It is by far the best electric cooking experience I've ever had. The Power Boil does what it says, and the way several burners can be resized with the touch of a button maximizes the use of the cooktop during a big dinner preparation. Remarkably for electric, when something has gotten too hot and I reduce the heat the cooktop responds quickly, so I don't have to do the usual trick of taking the pot off the stove till it cools down. The absence of knobs is a fantastic help with keeping it clean, but like all black cooktops this one shows every smear and scratch and requires a good cleaning after every use if you don't want the stains to become permanent.
Service and delivery comments:
I did everything through the website and was impressed with Abt's thoroughness. They emailed and called in reminders of the delivery, came when they said they would, installed the cooktop and took away the old one within 20 minutes.

The now decommissioned Trawsfynydd nuclear power station looms out of the mist behind the footbridge over Llyn Trawsfynydd, Snowdonia, early one morning. A few Canada geese fishing on the lake beyond the bridge, remind us in a small way, that nature is bigger than all of us.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Calcium (Ca) in Blood
Results continued...
An ionized calcium test checks the amount of calcium that is not attached to protein in the blood. The level of ionized calcium in the blood is not affected by the amount of protein in the blood.
Adults: |
4.65-5.28 mg/dL or 1.16-1.32 mmol/L |
Children: |
4.80-5.52 mg/dL or 1.20-1.38 mmol/L |
High values
High values of calcium may be caused by:
- Hyperparathyroidism.
- Cancer, including cancer that has spread to the bones.
- Tuberculosis.
- Being on bed rest for a long time after a broken bone.
- Paget's disease.
Low values
Low values of calcium may be caused by:
- A low level of the blood protein albumin (hypoalbuminemia).
- Hypoparathyroidism.
- High levels of phosphate in the blood, which can be caused by kidney failure, laxative use, and other things.
- Malnutrition caused by diseases such as celiac disease, pancreatitis, and alcoholism.
- Osteomalacia.
- Rickets.
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:
- Taking calcium or vitamin D in any form including milk, antacids, or supplements right before the test.
- Taking medicines, such as diuretics. Many medicines can affect calcium levels in the blood.
- Having dialysis.
- Having a high volume blood transfusion or many blood transfusions in a short period of time.
What To Think About
- More than one blood test may be needed to see if blood calcium levels are too high.
- Low blood levels of calcium may be caused by low levels of protein (albumin) in the blood, because about half of all calcium in the blood is attached to albumin. For this reason, an ionized calcium level (which is not attached to albumin) and a blood albumin level may also be measured. For more information, see the topic Total Serum Protein.
- Other tests that may be done to find the cause of abnormal blood calcium levels include blood tests for parathyroid hormone (PTH), chloride, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, and vitamin D. For more information, see the topics Parathyroid Hormone and Alkaline Phosphatase.
- Calcium levels can also be checked in the urine. For more information, see the topic Calcium (Ca) in Urine.

Cleveland �The suggestion box is open.
And so is Joseph Fauria, seemingly every time he�s on the field.
But before you start looking for the hidden reasons the Lions� rookie tight end is fast becoming a cult hero in Detroit, you might as well state the obvious.
�First of all, he�s tall as hell,� head coach Jim Schwartz explained.
How tall?
�I mean, he�s a 7-foot behemoth of a man out there,� receiver Kris Durham said.
This, then, is how the legend grows. Fauria, who�s a mere 6-foot-7 behemoth, actually, had the biggest game of his young NFL career Sunday, catching three touchdown passes in the Lions� 31-17 win over the Browns at FirstEnergy Stadium.
And that�s two more scores than he�d planned for, apparently. Because after Fauria�s initial end-zone celebration � already one of his calling cards six weeks into his first season as a pro � he was fresh out of material.
�Yeah, I had to reach in my back pocket for some more,� said Fauria, who opted for a windmill dunk over the crossbar after hauling in a 23-yarder between two defenders for the go-ahead score early in the fourth quarter.
Fauria, a native Californian who certainly acts the part, went Hollywood with his �N Sync-inspired touchdown dance in the Lions win at Washington last month, drawing attention � and a $10,000 donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation � from late-night talk show host Jimmy Fallon.
Sunday, he was money again. After Fauria snared a 1-yard toss from Matthew Stafford over safety Johnson Bademosi late in the first quarter, he launched into his rendition of the �Gas Pedal,� though he was quick to admit after the game it was a low-octane version.
�I couldn�t do a handstand and twerk, so I probably didn�t do it as well as I could,� Fauria deadpanned. �But I was just really happy. And I just � you know, that happens sometimes.�
Hard worker
It�s happening with great regularity for this undrafted free agent out of UCLA, obviously. Sunday�s hat trick gives him five TD receptions � one more than Calvin Johnson for the team lead � among his seven total catches this season, which prompts the question why he�s not targeted more often. (Answer: Rest assured, he will be, especially with Tony Scheffler out indefinitely after another concussion last week.)
�That�s pretty good,� Stafford said, smiling as he talked about how Fauria�s happy-go-lucky �energy� has helped the big rookie carve out a niche already in this offense.
�And it�s not �Me, me, me,� � Stafford added. �He�s just happy to be in the end zone.�
His teammates couldn�t be happier for him, watching the big guy cut loose as he breaks out. His third touchdown of the day, a 10-yarder on a back-shoulder throw from Stafford to ice the victory with 2:01 to play, was capped by an old-school �Cabbage Patch� dance.
�He�s more like a white Chad Johnson out there,� safety Louis Delmas joked. �For every touchdown he has, he has a celebration.
�But you know what? For him to work as hard as he does in practice, and for him to put the team on his back and damn near win the game by himself, he deserves to have that celebration. And he deserves to feel like he�s on top of the world.�
The view from up there is pretty nice, Fauria admits.
�But I�ve worked hard to (get) where I am today,� he said. �The odds were against me being an undrafted guy. But I overcame and I�m going to continue to do so. � Being a rookie, being young, you�ve got to work your way up and earn that trust.�
Size and strength
Being 6-foot-7, he has a built-in advantage there. But, as Schwartz noted Sunday, �There�s a lot of tall guys that aren�t good football players.�
What separates Fauria is his strength � �He�s got really strong hands,� Schwartz said � and his body control, helped by his basketball and volleyball background. That and his outsized confidence in his own ability, which might be the greatest strength a pass-catcher can have in the NFL. (And something the Lions� Patrick Edwards, for example, could use right now.)
The Lions knew what Fauria had before they snapped him up as an undrafted free agent this spring. They saw it firsthand in training camp as he played his way onto the 53-man roster. And now they�re seeing it in games, as he exploits single coverage in the red zone while Johnson � even on a gimpy right knee � gets most of the defense�s attention.
�People are probably going to have to start looking at (Fauria) and doubling him,� Durham said.
Until, then, they�re probably going to have to look at more of Fauria�s dance moves.
�I�m taking suggestions in my suggestion box,� he said Sunday.
And it sounds like he�s open to just about anything.

At the stroke of 9.45pm local time after waiting the stipulated period, the 1st and 2nd Squadron from the 1st Aviation Regiment mobilised along with the 2nd Old Blue SAS regiment. Within minutes of take off the SAS were landing on the eastern outskirts of Catherin. Their objective to recon the city for hostile troops, locate strategic locations to set up control points and relay information back to forward control so the can start to co-ordinate the infantry insertion. The 2nd Squadron encountered slight resistance from the air but with the Squadron at full strength the AH-64A/D Apache helicopters had target acquisition weapons deployed before the hostile aircraft were able to return fire. No ground resistance was encountered in the air from east Catherin.
At approximately 1.00am after receiving West Apolytons deceitful reply, Boondi mobilised its Defence Force.
At approximately 3.45am the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th Battalions of the 2nd Brigade were mobilised and with the support of 5th and 6th Squadrons of the 3rd Aviation Regiment.
The troops objective is to secure a perimeter around eastern Catherin in an arc approximately 5 km from the city. The remaining elements of the 2nd Brigade are in route via Road and land. No resistance was encountered in the region immediately east and north east of Catherin.
Boondi will not stop or detain any civilian elements fleeing the city. However any remaining civilians should evacuate the disputed area immediately.
The remaining elements of the 2nd Division and the 3rd Division are currently on alert status and ready to move at a moments notice.
The 4th, 5th and 6th Divisions have been deployed to Boondis Western border. As well as 6 SAM Batteries. This is merely a precautionary measure. Boondi does not want trouble from Guardinia, but we will defend ourselves from foreign intervention. Boondi has halted any border crossings between Guardinia and Boondi. Any air traffic, or land border crossings will be considered hostile and we will take action.
Boondis Air Bases are on their highest alert status.

Persson advises commissioners not to attend Sleepy Lagoon meeting
Date: October 29, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
Town Attorney David Persson sent an e-mail to Longboat Key town commissioners Wednesday, Oct. 28, advising them to consider "politely declining" a Sleepy Lagoon Homeowners meeting next week.
Because the main topic of discussion at the Wednesday, Nov. 4 meeting will be the site plan for the future Christ Church of Longboat Key, Presbyterian multi-functional building planned at 6400 Gulf of Mexico Drive and General Harris Street.
Several Sleepy Lagoon residents are upset with the project, which must be approved by the Town Commission, because they are worried about traffic and parking concerns in their community.
Persson, however, suggested commissioners consider staying away from the meeting.
Wrote Persson: "I just wanted to remind you that you are the final authority for site plan applications. The church's request is a site plan application. Therefore you will hear this quasi-judicial application at an advertised public meeting. Attendance at the Sleepy Lagoon meeting where this will be discussed will be an ex-parte communication."
Persson explained that the town's policy, established by a resolution, discourages ex-parte communications.
Ex-parte communication is any conversation held about a particular hearing before it is heard before the commission in an advertised meeting setting.
"I think it is obvious that the more ex-parte communications that occur, the more the formal process of review could be viewed as tainted," Persson wrote.
Persson also used the church site plan to allude to bigger issues, such as The Longboat Key Club and Resort's Islandside expansion and renovation plan.
"While this might not be a huge issue with a church site plan, it could be with other projects," Persson wrote.
Persson explained that mere attendance at the meeting is okay, as long as two or more commissioners are not exchanging ideas about the project.
"It is for these reasons that I continue to recommend that invitations of this nature be politely declined," Persson wrote.
