" Brand: Tesco / Type: White "
This is the first year that my sister has been excited for Christmas and I love Christmas too so have been egging her on. Ever since Tesco started stocking these white chocolate coins I've been buying them for her as a treat and they are quite nice considering they are so cheap.
One net holds about 15 coins of different sizes, there are some big ones that are a bit bigger than a £2.00 coin and the others are 10p and £1.00 coin sized. The chocolate coins come in silver foil so you'll easily be able to spot them because the milk chocolate coins have gold foil.
I'm not mad keen on white chocolate but I think these are as good as any white chocolate you can buy. The coins aren't as creamy to eat as milky bars buttons but they still melt nice in your mouth and have got a lovely sweet flavour. They taste good quality and aren't naff like the white chocolate tree decorations I brought in Morrisons last week.
I think white chocolate sometimes tastes very greasy but these coins don't, even for someone like me who doesn't like white chocolate that much I can say they're very tasty and leave a yummy sugary aftertaste in your mouth after you've eaten one.
I think for less than £1.00 a net these are a briliant buy, the solid white chocolate coins are good for giving my little sister one at a time for a treat and she loves them. A net will last her for nearly a week because she's the only one that eats white chocolate and we don't let her have too much sweets and chocolate.

5 Vacation Ideas for Cash-Strapped Couples
Want to reignite the sexual fire in your relationship? It may be time to hit the road.
Want to reignite the sexual fire in your relationship? It may be time to hit the road. A survey by the U.S. Travel Association found a weekend vacation is more likely to spark romance in a relationship than giving a material gift. Of the 1,100 American adults surveyed, 72 percent reported that traveling improves their sex life and strengthens their romantic relationship. Yet, the New York Times bestselling book The Normal Bar reports that 75% of all American couples have never taken a romantic vacation.
It is easy to understand the benefits of a week-long vacation in a romantic beach villa. But you don't have to travel so far from home or spend a lot of money to reap the romantic benefits of traveling together. Here are five ideas for a simple weekend getaway that will offer all the sexual benefits of an exotic vacation — without busting your bank account. For each romantic getaway idea, we've included ideas to turn up the heat for an unforgettable weekend.
1. Take a spontaneous roadtrip. One of the biggest romantic benefits of traveling together comes from the surplus of time together. A vacation allows you to talk, connect and rediscover your love for one another. A roadtrip is an ideal scenario for enjoying long conversations with your lover while exploring the world together.
Pick a destination no more than two or three hours away from home. A few hours in the car can be great fun, any longer can start to feel tedious. Look for a small town in your region with something special to offer: a great restaurant, a historic site, a winery or brewery or an artisan workshop that offers tours.
Read 10 Date Night Ideas That Won't Break the Bank
Take the opportunity to learn something new together by printing out the Wikipedia article about your destination and reading it out loud as you drive. Allow the road trip to help you feel free spirited. Crank up the radio, stock up on fun car snacks and open the windows wide. Amp up the erotic excitement by pulling over on a secluded road and making out (or more!) in the backseat of your car.
2. Find your muse. Seeing beautiful sites is one of the benefits of a romantic getaway. You don't have to travel far to get inspired by beautiful art. Most regions have a few towns that are known for art galleries or perhaps a city near you has an art museum. Dress up in your best clothes and spend the afternoon wandering the galleries together. Take the time to discuss art that catches your eye and be specific about what you find inspiring.
Taking the time to learn what you both find beautiful and inspiring will inspire you to see the beauty in one another. Consider buying a small piece of art for your home — there are often very talented artists selling original works on the streets outside of museums.
Also stop into the museum store or a local art supply store and buy a paintbrush. When you get home, treat your lover's body like a work of art. Dip the paintbrush in warm water and run it up and down their body, creating a featherlight caress and bringing your lover's entire body to attention! Follow this full body warm up with slow, sensual lovemaking

Review helps Giants open floodgates vs. White Sox
Tying run awarded on catcher obstruction in big seventh inning
SAN FRANCISCO -- Receiving a break wasn't enough for the Giants. Capitalizing on it was the major challenge they faced.
For one of the few times in recent weeks, they succeeded. The result was Wednesday's 7-1 Interleague victory over the Chicago White Sox that ended the Giants' five-game losing streak and gave Jake Peavy his first win in a San Francisco uniform.
Offensively challenged during their descent from first place in the National League West, the Giants seized upon an overturned umpiring call to amass seven runs in the seventh inning. All but one run scored with two outs and after the decision was reviewed.
Angel Pagan's two-run single off reliever Ronald Belisario launched the six-run addition the Giants built after the review. Pagan's hit was recognized as the inning's turning point, since it set up RBI singles by Hunter Pence and Buster Posey and right fielder Adam Dunn's three-base error on Pablo Sandoval's fly ball that chased across two runs.
Result: The Giants' seven-run inning was their biggest since an eight-run outburst at San Diego on Aug. 17, 2012. It was their most fruitful inning at home since another seven-run bonanza in the eighth inning of Game 2 of the 2010 World Series against Texas.
"We needed something like that," outfielder Gregor Blanco said, referring to Pagan's hit. "I don't think we've been struggling as a team, but we've been putting pressure on ourselves."
Playing his sixth game since ending a 44-game hiatus on the disabled list with back pain, Pagan insisted that he felt no pressure leading up to his big hit.
"In that situation, you got to want it," he said.
White Sox starter Jose Quintana blanked the Giants on two hits through six innings before they sustained their rally.
With runners on the corners and one out in the seventh, Joe Panik tapped a grounder to first baseman Jose Abreu, who quickly threw home. Pinch-runner Blanco was plainly tagged out. But Giants manager Bruce Bochy requested an umpire's review, citing the anti-collision rules instituted this year and maintaining that catcher Tyler Flowers denied Blanco a sufficiently clear path to the plate while awaiting Abreu's throw. Analysis of video replays backed Bochy's opinion. Blanco's run counted, tying the score, 1-1.
Bochy didn't apologize for the odd nature of the Giants' turnaround.
"Sometimes it takes something strange to break out the offense," he said after San Francisco scored one more run in the seventh than in its previous three games.
Several Giants revealed that they discussed their resolve to sustain this type of effort during a players-only meeting Tuesday. The prevailing theme of the meeting was reaching the postseason, even if capturing the league's second Wild Card spot ultimately were to become San Francisco's lone option.
"I think the dog days will end," Pagan said, "and they'll end right now."
The Giants' odds of playing into October may have improved with Peavy's fortunes. Making his fourth start since being acquired from Boston on July 26, the right-hander gained career win No. 134 by surrendering four hits in seven innings and limiting Chicago to one run, Dunn's fourth-inning clout into McCovey Cove.
Peavy thus broke his personal five-start losing streak. This also ended a stretch of 12 consecutive games that his team lost in games he pitched.
"It was just a conversation piece," Peavy said, shrugging off his lucklessness. "Everything has an expiration date."

The owner of disgraced Chinese company Sichuan Hanlong, Liu Han, has been sentenced to death in his homeland, according to reports.
Mr Han has been fighting murder charges in recent months after being accused of running a mafia style group based in the Chinese province of Sichuan.
Chinese media reported that a court in Hubei has sentenced Mr Han and his brother to death.
There have been suggestions he could be executed before the weekend is over.
The news comes after rumours in January that he may have been executed already.
Mr Han rose to notoriety in Australia during 2011 and 2012, when Hanlong was accused of insider trading while trying to get a foothold in the local mining industry.
The company took a controlling stake in ASX-listed Moly Mines, and launched takeover bids for iron ore aspirant Sundance Resources and uranium aspirant Bannerman Resources.
The insider trading case related to information shared during the Sundance and Hanlong takeover bids, and resulted in Hanlong official Calvin Zhu being jailed for at least 15 months in early 2013.
The Bannerman takeover flopped within months of being announced after Hanlong failed to produce funding.
The Sundance takeover dragged out for several years as Hanlong again struggled to win funding and approval from China's central authorities, and it was finally aborted in April 2013.
Both Moly and Sundance still have Hanlong listed as their major shareholders despite the tarring of Hanlong's reputation, and Mr Han sat on the board of Moly until 13 months ago.
The Hanlong connection saw both local miners receive funding from Chinese authorities like the China Development Bank, and some analysts expect the shareholdings will be passed through to the CDB.
Rumours out of China also suggest that Hanlong's assets will be broken up and auctioned off by the Chinese Government.

Here's some of the latest online coverage — in case you're having a slow Saturday like me.
If you haven't checked out Drakortha's Fallout 3 fan videos, definitely give his channel a look. His latest video, The DC Chronicles Ep 3 – Tunnels (above), is quite entertaining.
Sites continue to look back at Fallout 3. GamesRadar includes Fallout 3 a a feature about games from 2008 they can't stop playing. Meanwhile, Geek.com has their own look back.
Gamasutra has a new interview with Ed Stern — Senior Game Designer at Splash Damage for Brink. Here's an excerpt from the interview:
Kris Graft: What about accessibility? You guys have a background in hardcore shooters, but I've always thought that something like Valve's Team Fortress 2, for example, is a shooter that somebody who's not good at shooters can still play.
ES: Well, that's why we hired Richard Ham. He was one of the co-creators of Syphon Filter. He put The Sims on the consoles, which as far as I'm concerned is a superpower. That is a certifiable achievement. And he just finished Fable 2. He is brilliant at taking a system and making it easy to get into.
In WET news, Play Magazine has a new feature on Gaming's New Girls — featuring the game's lead character, Rubi Malone. WET also gets a mention (as does Rogue Warrior) in a new BBC article discussing Hollywood stars becoming involved in gaming.
In id Software news, in preparation for QuakeCon 2009, there's a new YouTube video with CEO Todd Hollenshead making wagers with the QuakeCon Girls. If you're attending the show, you'll be able to find out who wins the best. Elsewhere, WebDesignDev has a list of the 30 Most Influential People in Programming that includes John Carmack on the list.
Wrapping things up, I thought I'd share some really impressive Fallout 3 Fan Art and Nuka Cola machine spotted by folks at our office.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

A MOTHER suffered life-changing injuries after a disqualified driver crashed into her car as she was waiting to pull away from outside a post office.
Blackburn magistrates heard how Marie Wilson looked in her mirror and said: 'No, no' as she saw the car, driven by Mohammed Saif Maqsood, heading straight at her.
He was changing the channel on his radio when the collision happened, the court heard.
Maqsood, 22, of Roney Street, Blackburn, pleaded guilty to driving while disqualified and without due care, taking a vehicle without consent aggravated by injury to a third party, and obstructing a police officer.
He was sentenced to 12 weeks in prison suspended for two years, banned from driving for two years with a requirement he takes a re-test, ordered to do 200 hours unpaid work and pay £165 costs.
Catherine Allan, prosecuting, said Mrs Wilson, who lives in Wilpshire, had just posted a letter in Langho and got back into her car.
She said: "She looked in her mirror and saw another car coming towards her at speed. She grabbed the steering wheel and shouted just before the other car hit her."
Miss Allan said Mrs Wilson suffered a significant injury to her shoulder which had required several operations.
She added: "Three months after the incident she is still unable to drive, has not been able to work and actually struggles to dress herself. She is unable to independently care for her two children, and her husband, who is self-employed, has had to take time off work to help her."
Miss Allan said Maqsood exchanged false details with Mrs Wilson and it was only when police got a call from Maqsood's mother saying it was her car that they realised he was actually responsible.
Peter King, defending, said his client had been changing the channel on the radio when he hit the other car.
He said: "He bitterly regrets what has happened and the consequences for this lady."

Topic: 2-13-13
I dreaded the day I would have to create this post.
My father lost the fight to CC. He was diagnosed May 5, 2012 and had been a soldier. He tried two different clinical trials ( over 18 rounds of chemo). Nothing worked. He was offered another but in the side effects section it discussed HORRIBLE possibilities of what may come of his body for only a 10% success rate. It was a difficult decision not to be part of the clinical trial because he thought he was giving up.
He wasn't. He fought SO hard. He lost over 100 pounds from his 6'3" 265 lbs. frame. My dad became so weak he fell, hit his head and had to have 3 stitches. He had two deadly blood clots at the beginning of his fight which caused him to have to administer a shot to himself every night. My father was such an amazing man. He was strong, tough, funny, dedicated to his family, jobs, and my mother.
We went home to visit him for Christmas. It was the last time I saw him awake and lucid. We all sat down and had a conversation about why he wasn't participating in the clinical trial and what he wanted for his death arrangements. It was the saddest moment of my life. He was dying and there was nothing I could do. He seemed so sad, so depressed and so helpless but tried to stay strong for us. He told us how wonderful we were as his daughters and that we made him so proud. He told us to continue to be who we are and always fight (like he did). We all cried. Hugging him for the the last time and saying my last goodbye was the most difficult thing I have ever had to do. I can still feel his hug, his bones sticking out from the nasty CC and hear his voice telling me, "I'm sorry I have to leave you so early."
He entered hospice because he was becoming so weak and didn't want to die at home. While at hospice he was comfortable. Some days he didn't understand why he was there and others he was content with it. He entered into a coma on the night of the 11th. My mom held the phone up to his ear so I could tell him I love him and that he could go. He could stop fighting. On February 13, 2013 at 4 p.m. he went to heaven.
I'm so angry. So sad. He was young, perfectly healthy and had many years in front of him. I hated seeing my dad, the warrior, fall down at the feet of this disease. It didn't matter how hard he fought, it fought harder. He was so strong and tough. Even on the worst days he would tell me he was ok.
I want my daughter to know him. She loved her Papa so much. My daughter is only two but all she asks for is Papa. It breaks my heart. He was such an amazing man.
My family has lost such a great man. I worry for my mom. Last year at this time we were planning a trip to Florida to see them (they're snowbirds) for their 40th wedding anniversary and this year we are planning to attend his funeral. She's strong but she has lost her husband, soul mate, life-time best friend and all the other things he was to her. It makes my heart hurt.
My husband, daughter and I will travel home this week for his memorial service. He didn't want a funeral. After, there will be a party, just like my dad wanted it. He wanted food and beer. Gosh, I wish he was going to be there.
God Bless you all in this fight.

(Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview on A9 TV dated September 2nd, 2011)
Surat al-Araf, 60-68
"The ruling circle of his people"; the counterpart of the members of today's alleged Ergenekon organization."The ruling circle of his people said, 'We see you in flagrant error."They say, "You are not on the right path", that is, "Not a Muslim that is on the right path." What will they say to Hazrat Mahdi (as) in the End Times ? "You are also not on the right way" . Who tells it? Our Prophet (saas) tells it.
"He said, 'My people, I am not in error at all but rather am a Messenger from the Lord of all the worlds." This holds true for Prophet Noah (as). They slandered our Prophet (saas) in the same way as they did to Prophet Noah (as).
"We sent Noah to his people"as a Prophet. "My people, worship Allah!,'"That is what I want from you. I want you to serve Allah. "That is what Allah wants." "You have no other god than Him."He says, "Allah is the one" "I fear for you the punishment of a dreadful Day.'
He says,"I fear that you will be sent to Hell, to be subjected to the torment of Hell."
"I am transmitting my Lord's Message to you." I communicate the provisions of Allah."Giving you good counsel, and I know from Allah what you do not know." "Allah relates this to me by way of revelation and I am transmitting them to you".
"Or are you astonished that a reminder should come to you from your Lord by way of a man among you, to warn you and so that you might guard (against evil) so that hopefully you will gain mercy?'
They are astonished each time. Each time a new messenger comes, they feel astonished.
"But they denied him so We rescued him and those with him in the Ark. And We drowned the people who denied Our Signs. They were a blind people."
"Dajjal is a tribe because his eye is also blind you know. "We rescued him and those with him in the Ark."Allah will save those who are with Prophet Jesus (as) and Hazrat Mahdi (as), insha'Allah.
"And to 'Ad We sent their brother Hud, who said, 'My people, worship Allah! You have no other god than Him. So will you not have fear of Allah?'" Notice that there is also mention of La ilaha illAllah. Allah is the One, they speak of the Oneness of Allah beforehand and then tell them to have fear of Allah.
"The ruling circle of those of his people who were disbelievers said:" That is, the prominent people of the tribe are always arrogant, sapient people who are prone to corruption. A certain part of unbelievers; otherwise there are surely believers too. "'We consider you a fool and think you are a liar.'
They are absolutely accused of insanity. They accused every prophet, messenger, saint, you also know Bediuzzaman Nursi, of insanity. Calling him insane, they sent him to mental hospital. Then they issued a report verifying that he is mentally healthy.
"'We consider you a fool.'
So when unbelievers feel in trouble, they slander and say, "You are insane." "and think you are a liar."They say, "You are both insane and a liar." What will they say to Hazrat Mahdi (as)? The very same words because this is the law of Allah; they have always done this. This is what every prophet was subjected to.
He said, 'My people, I am by no means a fool." This claimis refuted. How is it accomplished in the End Times? A report is issued and it is refuted. Then what did he say? "But rather I am a Messenger from the Lord of all the worlds." I communicate the message, I am Mahdi (as), Insha'Allah.
"Transmitting my Lord's Message to you, and I am a faithful counselor to you." That is, he says I am a reliable person. "I am an honest, sincere, good-intentioned person." This is understandable.
When an incident which took place in the time of our Prophet (saas) was related, the aspect which relates to this life is taken into consideration. Allah wants us to apply this verse into life. I interpret the aspect of the verse we apply to life. For instance Almighty Allah says, "Ruin to the hands of Abu Lahab and ruin to him". The first interpretation of the verse is the one that concerns Abu Lahab. This is the first meaning. Yes, but is this the main intention? The main intention is the lesson we will take from here and how it is applied to life. I explain the lesson we take and how it is applied to life. Otherwise its overt meaning is clear. For instance Almighty Allah says to our Prophet (saas), "Did We not expand your breast for you?"this is a verse relating to the relieving of the heart of our Prophet (saas). Yes, but is it the only meaning? Is there any other meaning that applies to life, to the End Times, to us and the life after us? There is. That is what I am speaking of. The other part is already obvious. It is related in these interpretations. The first meaning is clear. It is very important to tell how the verse applies to life. As well as the importance of its direct meaning, the meaning that applies to life is very important. I am explaining the aspect that relates to life.

Welcome to Dragon Cave! Dragon Cave is an online adoptables game. Collect eggs, raise them to adulthood, and then breed them to create interesting lineages. New types of dragons are added regularly!
Silver Dragons are arguably one of the most beautiful types of dragons. They live in high altitude habitats such as mountains. Male Silvers hunt and eat meat. While not as beautiful or radiant as females, silver males possess better physical attributes, such as strength.
Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling's wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.
Dragons don't communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.

Note to Fred Barnes: Conservatives don't do journalism
Especially not the new generation of right-wing players led by the likes of Andrew Breitbart. Sure, they pretend to be practicing journalism. I mean, their sites have bylines. The pieces are (supposedly) edited, and then they appear under catchy headlines. But the junk being cranked out on right-wing political sites has nothing to do with journalism (i.e. fairness [1] and facts [2]) and everything to do with whiney [3], often hate-filled [4] propaganda.
I'm just sorry I'm the one who has to inform Fred Barnes.
As Think Progress noted [5], Fox News' Barnes recently appeared at a conservative activist event and urged Republican partisans to "infiltrate" the mainstream media [emphasis added]:
Barnes and some other media critics argue that the broader, more liberal media still decide the daily story and political agenda, so he's calling for a two-pronged war. One goal is to develop conservative reporters. "We need more smart, young people in journalism," he argues, "to infiltrate—infiltrate!—the mainstream media. It can be done."
Then he wants wealthy conservatives to build media outlets. Citing the millions of dollars thrown at political campaigns, he says "there is a lot of money out there that can be used to start new magazines, to buy television networks, to buy newspapers, to start newspapers—so much can be done."
First, the obligatory irony alert: Barnes, who works for the openly partisan Weekly Standard and who cashes a paycheck from openly partisan Fox News, wonders why conservatives don't build openly partisan media outlets?
But with regards to Barnes' point about getting "smart, young" people into journalism, it's simply not going to happen. As Media Matters has [6] been endlessly [7] documenting, right-wing [8] attempts to practice [9] "journalism" routinely reveal themselves [10] to be little more than hoaxes [11].
Barnes and I actually agree, though. It would be good for politics and journalism if smart, young conservatives opted for reporting and actually committed themselves to practicing the craft. There's simply no indication conservatives have any desire to do so, not when facts are frowned upon within the Republican Noise Machine.

RESIDENTS have called for a bus service which once stopped at a hospital and medical centre to be reinstated.
The 154 bus, which used to run through Unsworth, Hollins and Pilsworth towards Bury, was changed in September, to follow a new route along Bury New Road, Whitefield.
This has caused problems for residents in the area trying to get to Fairfield Hospital, to Asda in Pilsworth and to Blackford House Medical Centre.
At last week's Whitefield and Unsworth Township Forum meeting, representatives from Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) explained how they came to the decision.
TfGM official Sam Tysoe said: "Because of long-term reliability issues, the 154 service couldn't achieve the existing timetable.
"To keep the 154 operating in its existing route would cost £85,000. If we subsidise a change, there would be a loss of other services."
A TfGM survey found that, on the 154 bus service, between 68 to 84 per cent of journeys were not operating to time.
But residents were unhappy that an alternative route to the hospital and medical centre has not been created since the 154 service was altered.
Some argued that a useful solution would be to re-route the 93 bus service, to allow better access to Blackford House Medical Centre in Croft Lane and Fairfield Hospital.
Furthermore, a petition was recently signed by 430 people asking for the 154 bus route to be brought back.
This was pointed out by Gareth Edwards, a selling champion at the ASDA store in Pilsworth, who said he has to get two buses to and from work every day.
Mr Edwards, aged 43, of Rochdale Road, said: "Please think long and hard and please put the bus service back on."
Margaret Ashcroft added: "We have a medical centre which most people here are registered with and yet we cannot get to it. But if we go back to the old 93 route, we will have a medical centre on our doorstep."
Another resident said: "The scrapping of the 154 route is an absolute disaster.
"I've lived here since I was 12 years old and the bus service was better then than it is now."

Topic: Thirty31 Gifts -- All Commissions go to the CC Foundation
It has been a while since I posted...honestly, I didn't want to come on the site after my dad passed. But now I have a strong desire to *do* something and I have decided to join Thirty 31 Gifts, and attempt to raise money by hosting purse parties (kinda like tupperware, but purses/bags instead).
Basically, I am now a Consultant for Thirty 31 Gifts, and every commission I receive from these parties will go to the foundation. If anyone wants to check this out, or if you think family and friends would want to participate in some way...hopefully I can bring in some money to help support research.

UPDATE (June 30):
Steve Curtis Jennings Jr was last seen in the water at Beaver Dam Swim Club at 2:45 p.m. Saturday afternoon; 911 was called after he could not be found.
Among the Baltimore County Fire Department resources sent to the incident on Saturday were two boats and the Urban Search and Rescue truck (USAR 17) from Station 17 in Texas (near Cockeysville). Divers from the Middle River Volunteer Ambulance Rescue Company also responded to assist searching the water.
Rescue crews and divers searched the water unsuccessfully for Steve Curtis Jennings Jr until rescue operations ceased at 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
Sunday morning, members of the Baltimore County Police Dive Team responded to the Beaver Dam Swim Club to begin searching the water for Steve Curtis Jennings Jr.
An initial search by police divers for Steve Curtis Jennings Jr was not successful. Early in the afternoon, police requested a "side scan sonar unit" from Central Maryland Task Force Two (a regional task force) so a more detailed underwater search could be conducted. A member of the Baltimore City Fire Department responded with the unit and began to scan underwater.
In the early evening, the scan indicated an object under the water. Divers were immediately sent into the water to verify what the object was. Due to the terrain on the bottom of the quarry, it was difficult to guide the divers, so they had to return to the surface. A stokes basket was then dropped straight down in the water next to the sonar contact, and divers followed the line straight down.
At 7:33 p.m., divers located a body 58 feet underwater. The body was removed from the water at 7:40 p.m. and later confirmed to be Steve Curtis Jennings Jr.
The body of Steve Curtis Jennings Jr was removed to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore City for an autopsy.
Baltimore County Police have recovered the body of a man who went missing yesterday from a swim club in Hunt Valley.
At 7:40 p.m. this evening, Baltimore County Police Divers removed the body of 36-year-old Steve Curtis Jennings Jr of the 5300 block of 85th Avenue in New Carrolton from the water at Beaver Dam Swim Club.
Steve Curtis Jennings Jr was reported missing late Saturday afternoon when relatives could not find him. He was last seen in the water.
The body of Steve Curtis Jennings Jr will be removed to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore City.
Original release:
At 4:45 p.m. Saturday afternoon, Baltimore County Fire and Police personnel responded to the Beaver Dam Swim Club in the 10800 block of Beaver Dam Road 21030 for an inland water rescue. The caller into 911 stated that there was an adult male missing from the location. The male was last seen in the water 2 hours before.
Approximately 11 pieces of Fire Department equipment responded to the scene. This included The Search and Rescue Team from Station 17 (Texas) and the Middle River Volunteer Dive Team.
The Baltimore County Police Aviation Unit assisted in the search.
At approximately 7:30 p.m. the fire department ceased rescue operations and turned command of the incident over to the police department.
This morning members of the Baltimore County Police Dive Team began a search of the water at Beaver Dam Swim Club. At this time, they have not located the missing person.
Further information will be released as it becomes available.

Angel Food Swirl Cake
This featherweight, sweet cake is offset by a tart sorbet.
- Yield: Makes one 10-inch cake
Source: Martha Stewart Living, February 2000
- 1 1/4 cups sifted cake flour, not self-rising
- 1 1/2 cups sugar, preferably superfine, sifted
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 pint (6 ounces) fresh raspberries
- 1 3/4 cups egg whites, about 12 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- Buttermilk Sorbet for Angel Food Swirl Cake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with rack in lower third. Cut parchment to fit bottom of round or heart-shaped 10-inch tube pan with legs or removable bottom. Fit paper into pan. Do not grease pan.
Sift flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt together. Sift again into a bowl. Using fork, mash 1/2 cup whole raspberries; strain through a fine sieve to yield about 1/4 cup mashed raspberries.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites on medium-low speed until foamy. Beat in cream of tartar and vanilla. Increase speed to medium-high; beat until whites are nearly stiff. Reduce speed to medium-low; beat in the remaining 1 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time. Beat until peaks are almost stiff but not at all dry. Transfer egg whites to large bowl.
Sift flour mixture over egg whites; fold in gently with large rubber spatula. Gently transfer 1/3 of batter to tube pan. Spoon 2 tablespoons mashed berries over egg whites. Spoon another 1/3 of batter into the pan; repeat with remaining mashed berries. Top with remaining batter. Run a knife through mixture, touching bottom of pan, to eliminate any air pockets. Leave the top very textured with peaks in the meringue; do not smooth.
Bake until the top of the cake is lightly golden and the cake springs back when pressed lightly, 35 to 45 minutes. (If top darkens too quickly, tent with foil.)
Invert pan onto its legs or hang it over the neck of a bottle or funnel; let cake stand, in the pan, until completely cool, about 1 hour. Run a knife around edges of the cake to loosen the sides. Unmold cake. Serve with buttermilk sorbet and remaining whole raspberries.

OhMyHoneyBee25 OCT, 2013Tried this and the raspberries turned the cake rather mushy, I'll stick to the normal recipe from now on.Reply

I would like to address the budget and the lack of movement on the Republicans part on taking some of the loopholes away from the wealthy.
During last year's campaign for Ohio's Governor's seat, there was a TV commercial from his opponent that used a sound bite showing Kasich saying that bonuses, that no one needed to know about, could be used for his staff.

Code BreakerLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
Professor Abacus has scrambled the numerals 0 through 9 to form a 10-digit security code. Each numeral is used only once. Given the following clues, what is the security code?
1) The 4th and 5th digits form a triangle number.
2) The 5th and 6th digits form a prime number.
3) The 8th digit is three more than the 2nd digit.
4) The 10th digit is less than the 1st digit.
5) The sum of the 1st and 6th digits is twice the 9th digit.
6) The sum of the 3rd, 6th, and 9th digits equals 14.
7) There are three digits between the numerals 8 and 9.
8) There are no more than four digits between the numerals 1 and 4.
9) The numeral 5 is somewhere in the first five positions.
28 is a triangle number, 83 is a prime number, 7 is three more than 4, 0 is less than 9, 9 + 3 is twice 6, 5 + 3 + 6 = 14, there are three digits between 8 and 9, there are four digits between 1 and 4, 5 is in the 3rd position.

One of the swap meets I occasionally attend has a food stand that serves up grilled ribeye steak sandwiches so I thought I'd give them a try at home. The first step was to cut the steak in half.
With a hot lump fire it didn't take long to cook them. One was seasoned with a mix of garlic powder and French herbs and I used a garlic southwestern-style rub on the other.
Sandwiches weren't part of the original plan but we had a couple of ciabatta rolls left over from chili the night before, and that's where I got the idea. And the rolls worked great on the grill.
The steaks were bigger than the rolls so after trimming I had some nice pieces left over.
Time to eat! Both steaks turned out well (but not well-done, of course!) and I didn't have a distinct preference for one or the other. I'm definitely going to make these again sometime.

Saunders released from UF
Published: Wednesday, December 26, 2012 at 6:09 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, December 27, 2012 at 11:35 a.m.
De'Ante 'Pop' Saunders' up-and-down Florida career is now over.
The sophomore safety told The Sun on Wednesday that he has been released from the UF football program.
"It happened a couple of days ago," Saunders said. "It's been a long time coming."
Saunders was suspended for a violation of team rules in November. He did not play in Florida's final two regular season games and was ruled out for the bowl game by UF coach Will Muschamp. Saunders also missed the first two games of 2012 for disciplinary reasons.
Saunders was arrested for marijuana possession in May 2011, and a separate issue caused him to be suspended for last year's game against Alabama.
"Nothing against Florida or coach Muschamp, but I just needed a fresh start," Saunders said. "The top school I'm considering right now is Louisville."
The 5-foot-9, 189-pounder started seven of his eight games played this season and finished with 18 tackles and an interception. He saw action in 12 games as a true freshman and started nine, recording 26 tackles and two picks.
Saunders was one of 19 members in Muschamp's first recruiting class and came in as a three-star prospect from DeLand. He's the sixth signee from the 2011 class that is no longer on Florida's roster.

Am I a Man?Trivia brain teasers have some element of trivia in them, but they are not just pure trivia questions.
An ancient world I once did rule,
filling men with trepidation.
All deadly sins I thee did worship,
with a passion and rage so fierce.
My name was sovereign; so noble and refined,
but a number of a man also knew me.
This figure is long and complex by nature,
six hundred three score and six.
Who am I?
HintSix hundred three score and six = 666
AnswerThe Emperor, Caesar Nero.
666 is the Aramaic numerical equivalent of Nero's name.
Much of the Bible focuses on the power of numbers, for example, The Trinity (3); The Pentateuch (the first 5 books of the Old Testament); the 12 Tribes of Israel; the 12 Apostles; the Resurrection in 3 days; Moses' 40 years in the desert; Jesus' 40 days in the desert; and so on. Likewise, each Hebrew letter is represented by a different number. For example, The Hebrew of David is DWD (DaWiD)...dwd=4-6-4(14).
Similarly, the Latin name of Nero Caesar or Caesar Nero, an "n" can also be added, resulting in Neron Caesar. Next the Latin is transliterated into Aramaic, resulting in 'nrwn qsr', which when using the numeric equivalent of the letters, then adds up to 666 as follows:
Nun = 50
Resh = 200
Waw = 6
Nun = 50
Qoph = 100
Samech = 60
Resh = 200
Sorry for ruining your Hollywood idea of the devil as 666. Arguably though, Nero and Satan were pretty close!

WOODBINE, Ga. - The just-elected probate judge of Camden County left office after pleading guilty to three criminal charges.
Wise had worked in the office for 20 years and was the associate probate judge when the charges were brought against her earlier this year. She was elected probate judge in July and was scheduled to be sworn in Jan. 1 to the seat of retiring Judge Martin Gillette.
District Attorney Brian Rickman told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Judge Shirley Wise pleaded guilty to three counts -- theft by taking, theft by deception and violation of her oath of office.
Among the charges against Wise was that she took cash payments for vital records from December 2008 until earlier this year and failed to account for and deposit the money. According to records from the Judicial Qualifying Commission, Wise tried to hide the acts by shredding or destroying the original duplicate cash receipts that had been given to customers.
Rickman said Wise was sentenced under the First Offender Act to seven years on probation and fined $1,000.
He said Wise also gave more than $5,500 in restitution to the Camden County Board of Commission. Wise also agreed to not seek or accept appointment to a judicial office in the future.
A special election will be scheduled for March to fill the probate judge position. Gillette told the Florida Times-Union he will likely have to stay in office and run that election, because he and Wise were the only people in the county certified by the state to do so.

New Division Structure for our U6 and U8 Players
Pull date:
Sat, 07/23/2011
For Fall 2011, we have a new division structure for our younger players. Players in the U6 and U8 divisions are affected. We have also expanded our registration to include players born before 7/31/07
NEW U5 division(now separate from u6): for boys and girls born 8/1/06 - 7/31/07
To increase the balance both within and among teams, Region 20 is excited to introduce our new u5 division. Additionally, this allows younger boys and girls to participate. The cut-off date is 07/31. If your child has turned 4 by that date, they are eligible to play. Fun-filled, intra- and inter-team games will be played in the 3v3 format (per National AYSO guidelines). That means lots of involvement and touches on the ball. Like u6, this division will have practice and games in 1-hour time slots on Saturdays. See the u5 division guidelines for more details.
NEW u7 division (now separate from u8): for boys and girls born 8/1/04 - 7/31/05
To increase the balance both within and among teams, Region 20 is excited to introduce our new u7 division. Additionally, this division will guarantee more involvement (touches on the ball), more time with the ball (fewer players on the pitch), and less stress (no goalkeepers). Action-packed, fun-filled games will be played in a 5v5 format with no goalkeepers (per National AYSO guidelines). This division will also continue the u6 format of "open substitution" which means very little time "sitting out". Like u8, this division will have a 1-hour practice during the week and a game on Saturdays. See the u7 division guidelines for more details.
All division guidelines can be found on this website. (Please note that Region 20 differs from the National Guidelines in some divisions),

2017-18 Academic Year
All applicants for admission will be considered for merit-based academic scholarship awards, provided their application for admission is complete by the Early Action filing deadline of November 15, 2016, or the Regular Decision filing deadline of January 15, 2017. A separate scholarship application is not required.
Applicants are selected for academic scholarship assistance based on a comprehensive review of the high school academic record by the Office of Undergraduate Admission. Financial need is not a factor in determining eligibility for academic scholarships.
Students selected for merit-based scholarship awards will be notified with the admission decision.
All applicants for admission will be considered for need-based financial aid in the form of grants, loans, and work-study provided the family files the 2017-18 CSS PROFILE Application and the 2017-18 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The information collected on the CSS PROFILE Application is used by Loyola University to determine a student's eligibility for institutionally-funded forms of financial aid. The information collected on the FAFSA will be used to determine eligibility for federal forms of financial aid.
Complete the PROFILE online at http://student.collegeboard.org/css-financial-aid-profile. Loyola University's CSS Code Number is 5370. Check out the 2017-18 PROFILE Student Guide for more complete information on the PROFILE completion process. CSS/PROFILE Customer Support can be reached at 844-202-0524 or the College Board's contact us page.
Your 2015 Federal Tax Return and your parents' 2015 Federal Tax Return information will be used to verify the financial information reported on the FAFSA and PROFILE. Loyola participates in the College Board's Institutional Documentation Service (IDOC) to collect parent and student tax return forms. After you file the PROFILE Application, the College Board will send you complete instructions for submitting your Federal Tax Return forms. IDOC Customer Support can be reached at 866-897-9881.
Procedures for submitting your tax return information to the College Board.
If you indicate on the CSS PROFILE Application that your parents are divorced, separated, or were never married, your non-custodial parent must complete the CSS Non-Custodial PROFILE. You will be sent an email which will contain a link and login instructions for the Non-Custodial PROFILE website. Forward this information to your non-custodial parent.
Complete the FAFSA online at https://fafsa.ed.gov. You and your parent must have a FSA ID to electronically sign the FAFSA. You may create a FSA ID while completing the FAFSA, or at the following federal websites (www.nslds.ed.gov, StudentLoans.gov, StudentAid.gov ). Loyola University's FAFSA Code Number is 002078. The FAFSA on the Web Worksheet provides a preview of the questions that you will be asked while completing the FAFSA online.
A new fact sheet, "Creating and Using Your FSA ID," is now available to assist users.
The best way to provide accurate income information on the FAFSA is by opting to use the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Data Retrieval Tool. This process allows eligible applicants and parents to retrieve tax return data from the IRS. Applicants who choose not to use this process may be required to provide an IRS tax return transcript to Loyola's Office of Financial Aid to verify income information provided on the FAFSA. Federal verification is a process required by the U.S. Department of Education to verify the accuracy of the information parents and students submit on the FAFSA. Learn more about federal verification here.
Provide your Social Security number to the Office of Undergraduate Admission. On the Common Application, enter your SSN in the "Profile" section under the "Citizenship" tab. On the Loyola University Maryland Application, enter your SSN in the "Personal Information" section.
Your SSN is a primary identifier and is required to assure the accurate electronic transmission of the data you supply on the CSS PROFILE Application and Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to your Loyola University Maryland student record. Your SSN along with all other personally identifiable information included in your student record will not be disclosed by the University without your consent or as allowed by federal and state law.
Early Action Admission Applicants
Students who are accepted for admission under the Early Action program and who meet the November 15, 2016, need-based aid filing deadline will be notified of their eligibility for need-based financial aid no later than February 1, 2017.
Regular Decision Admission Applicants
Students who are accepted for admission under the Regular Decision program and who meet the January 15, 2017, need-based aid filing deadline will be notified of their eligibility for need-based financial aid no later than April 10, 2017

Police are calling on Land Rover and Range Rover owners in Wharfedale to help them fight back against criminals who steal spare car parts.
The officer in charge of a West Yorkshire-wide crackdown on 4x4 vehicle parts theft is calling on people in the area to share information and take steps to protect their own vehicles.
Chief Inspector Steve Thomas is heading Operation Emporia, set up to combat an emerging issue with Land Rover and Range Rover vehicles being targeted by thieves –particularly for LED headlamps but also doors, mirrors, bonnets, wheel clusters and grilles. Chief Insp Thomas says Wharfedale has not been hard hit but is keen to enlist the help of farmers and other owners of the 4x4 vehicles to deter thieves and halt the trade in stolen parts.
He advises owners to have special bolts fitted which can prevent the theft of doors, mirrors, bonnets, wheel clusters and grilles.
But the operation is also focusing on tackling the theft of LED headlamps fitted to the newer vehicles, and stolen headlamps being fitted to older vehicles.
Chief Insp Thomas said: "As part of the ongoing work under Operation Emporia, owners of 4x4 vehicles who have recently had second-hand LED lights fitted are being urged to contact police with proof of purchase.
"I would urge anyone who has recently had such parts fitted to make contact to advise where these parts were fitted. I would also urge caution for anyone looking to buy second-hand parts.
"If we stop a vehicle and it is suspected that it is fitted with stolen parts then these will be removed and the owner of the vehicle could face prosecution.
"Any owners of these kinds of vehicles looking to buy second-hand parts need to ensure they buy from reputable sellers and know where the parts have come from. What may seem like a bargain at the time may well be too good to be true and could leave you left out in the dark."
Chief Insp Thomas also called on owners to look into ways of security marking their LED headlamps, making it more difficult for them to be stolen and sold on.
Police are working closely with the car manufacturers.
Anyone with information about this type of crime is urged to call the Operation Emporia team on 101 or pass information anonymously to Crimestoppers on (0800) 555111.

Read Answers to Commonly Asked Medication Questions
Medication Storage
Due to my job, I spend a lot of time traveling in my car. Is it safe to store my Lipitor 10mg in the glove compartment of my car?
Actually, the glove compartment is generally not recommended for storing your medications because the glove compartment in your car can get very hot and cold. Lipitor. (atorvastatin) 10mg should be stored at controlled room temperature (20-25C) or (68-77F).
Here are some general tips for storing your medications:
Avoid storing your medication in places where it is either very hot or very cold. Heat could melt a specific medication while very cold temperatures could freeze the medication or cause a tablet to become brittle (easier to break or chip). It's also not advisable to store your medications in your bathroom medicine cabinet because of the humidity and steam found in most bathrooms. Avoid exposing your medications to excessive sun or light.
Store your medication in a place that is not accessible to children. Many medications can cause accidental poisoning if large amounts are consumed.
Missed Doses
I usually take my Zestril (lisinopril) once daily in the morning. I was in such a rush this morning and forgot to take it. Can I take it after work at 4:00 PM when I get home or should I wait until tomorrow?
In this particular case with this particular medication, you can take it at 4:00 PM.
Here are some general tips on what to do if you miss a dose of your medication:
The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) recommends as a guideline, to try to estimate the number of hours between when you should have taken your missed dose and when your next dose is scheduled (if you take it twice a day, for instance, the time between doses is 12 hours). If you have passed the halfway point (which is six hours in this example), do not take the missed dose. Instead, continue with your next regularly scheduled dose.
With most medications, the FDA recommends that if you miss a dose, you can take it when you remember that day. However, never "double up" (take two doses at one time) unless directed by your Doctor or Pharmacist.
Since every medication is different, it is a good idea to talk with your Doctor or Pharmacist about what to do if you should miss a dose.
Medication for Depression
I was recently diagnosed with depression and I would like to know how many Americans suffer from this disease. Am I alone? Am I going to have to take my medication forever?
You are definitely not alone! Every year, more than 19 million American adults suffer from clinical depression. Anyone can experience depression and it is important to know that clinical depression is a very treatable medical illness. Treatment for clinical depression has proven to be very effective.
Here are some tips the National Mental Health Association (NMHA) has provided for treating and coping with your depression:
Depending on what medication you were prescribed, it may take up to 6-8 weeks before you notice an improvement.
It is usually recommended that medications be taken for at least four to nine months after the depressive symptoms have improved.
Those with chronic depression, or repeated bouts of depression, may need to stay on medication to prevent or lessen further episodes.
Seek support from your family and friends because you do not have to cope with this on your own.
As with any medications, side effects may occur. Make sure you are under the supervision of a doctor or other qualified mental health professional to ensure the best treatment with the fewest side effects.
Use of Ephedra
I currently take an OTC formulation for weight loss that contains ephedra and I heard it was being taken off the market. Should I stock up on it before it gets removed, or is it really not safe to use?
You heard correctly! The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has made the ruling to take all products containing ephedra off the market stating that these products present "unreasonable risk of illness and injury". Ephedra affects your body by stressing your circulatory system and raising your blood pressure. It has been associated with heart ailments and even stroke. Because of the risk, we do not recommend the use of any products that contain ephedra. "Stocking up" may be dangerous. Successful weight loss is best achieved with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Be sure to talk with your Doctor about any organization in your community that can help you achieve your weight loss goals. Your health plan may also have additional information on weight loss, so it may be beneficial to check out their web site.
Drug Interactions: Antibiotics and Birth Control
I was recently prescribed the antibiotic amoxicillin. Will it affect my birth control pill?
I applaud you for taking the responsibility to ask! The antibiotic, amoxicillin, is in the penicillin class of antibiotics. Many antibiotics, especially those in the penicillin and tetracycline class, can reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills. Rifampin, an antibiotic, and Griseofulvin, an antifungal, can also reduce the effects of your oral contraceptive (increases risk for pregnancy). Many seizure medications such as Dilantin., Tegretol., and Topamax. can affect the birth control pill.
Here are some general tips to keep in mind whenever starting a new therapy while on the birth control pill:
Always check with your pharmacist to ensure the medication you have been prescribed does not interact with your birth control pill.
While on any of the above medications, women on birth control pills containing estrogen should use an additional type of birth control (such as condoms)
It is very important to consult with your Doctor about any questions and concerns you may have.
Drug Interactions: Grapefruit Juice
I am currently taking Lipitor (atorvastatin) for cholesterol and the yellow sticker on my prescription vial states "to avoid drinking grapefruit juice". Since this is my favorite juice, I was wondering if one glass every morning is really going to affect my medication?
Grapefruit juice in combination with Lipitor. (atorvastatin) was found to increase the level of Lipitor. in your body. Increased amounts of Lipitor. in your body might lead to increased risk of myopathy (muscle pain) or rhabdomyolysis (muscle deterioration), a more serious condition.
If you choose to drink grapefruit juice, here are some general suggestions to minimize the risk:
I would recommend drinking only one small cup (6-8oz.) of grapefruit juice no more than once daily.
Since the drug-interaction persists for at least 12 hours, try to separate the grapefruit juice at least 12 hours apart from the medication dose.
Consuming large amounts or grapefruit juice is not recommended due to this drug interaction.
The following are the other medications used to treat cholesterol that have a drug-interaction with grapefruit juice: Mevacor. (lovastatin), Zocor. (simvastatin) and Lescol. (fluvastatin).
Brand vs. Generic
My Doctor told me he wanted to switch me over to generic Prozac., which he called fluoxetine. Can you explain the difference between brand vs. generic?
When a new drug is developed, scientists give it a generic name. Once the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approves the drug, the manufacturer markets it with a brand or trade name, which is usually easier and shorter to remember. A drug company can hold exclusive patent rights to make a drug for as long as 17 years after its discovery. After that, other companies can start making generic versions of the drug. In your case, Prozac. is the brand name and fluoxetine is the generic name. In most cases, generics often cost considerably less and work as well as the brand name. Since the release of fluoxetine in 2001, millions of patients have switched over to the generic.
The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) assures that generic drugs are:
Safe, effective, and FDA approved
An affordable alternative
Can be used with confidence
Calcium Supplementation
Lately, I have seen and heard so much about taking Calcium. I am a 57 year old female and a few of my friends have already been taking it for years. Is there really any benefit to taking Calcium?
Calcium is an essential nutrient your body needs every day. It helps build and MAINTAIN healthy teeth and bones in addition to keeping your heart beating steadily and your muscles and nerves in great condition. Because your bones are made from calcium, if you do not get enough from your daily diet, your body will "steal" the calcium from your bones to compensate for the difference. After some time, your bone strength will be reduced and may lead to osteoporosis, a crippling disease associated with thin and weak bones. Osteoporosis is a major health concern that affects over 25 million Americans. In fact, being a female already puts you at a higher risk for developing osteoporosis. Regular exercise and a healthy diet with enough calcium can help maintain bone health and may reduce your risk of developing osteoporosis. The general U.S. population needs to consume (1,000-1,500 mg) of elemental calcium daily.
Here are some general tips about calcium:
You can obtain calcium from the foods you eat. Yogurt, cheese, milk, ice cream, and broccoli are just a few "calcium-rich" foods. (Be careful of calories!)
A few drug-interactions exist with calcium. Be sure to always ask you Doctor or Pharmacist before starting any new therapy.
There are many forms of calcium that are currently available (carbonate, citrate, coral calcium, etc). Ask your Doctor or Pharmacist to help you find one that is right for you.
Side effects with supplemental calcium include constipation and gas.
Over-the-Counter Sleep Aids
I am having trouble sleeping at night. Since Doctor visits and prescription medications can be quite costly, are there any over-the-counter medications used for sleep that I could try first?
Yes, there are OTC sleep-aids available. While these medications are marketed under a variety of names such as Nytol., Sominex., and Unisom., they all contain (25-50 mg) of either of two antihistamines, diphenhydramine or doxylamine. These drugs block the effects of brain proteins called histamine receptors and cause sleepiness as a side effect. Since these drugs stay in your body for about 10 hours, they might cause impaired thinking and drowsiness in the morning. Other potential side effects of antihistamines include dry mouth, blurred vision, headache, nausea, and increased heartbeat.
The following are FDA's (Food and Drug Administration) tips on taking medications, including over-the-counter medications:
Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before using an over-the-counter medicine the first time, especially if you use other medicine.
Always consult with your Doctor or Pharmacist before starting any over-the-counter medication because no medicine is without risk. Besides benefits, medicines may cause side effects or allergic reactions, and they may be affected by interactions with foods and drinks.
Write down any problems that you have with the medicine so you can discuss them with your doctor or pharmacist.
Contact the doctor or pharmacist if new or unexpected symptoms or other problems appear.
Medication for Blood Pressure
I always take my blood pressure when I am waiting for my prescriptions at the pharmacy. I never know what the two numbers mean. Can you give me some guidelines to follow so I know that my medication is working?
It is great to hear that you are seeking an interest in your blood pressure! High blood pressure, or "hypertension", affects 1 out of 4 American adults. High blood pressure occurs when the force of blood against your artery walls is too strong. Since hypertension does not cause symptoms unless it is very high, taking and recording you blood pressure on a regular basis is often recommended. Your blood pressure measurement consists of two numbers: systolic and diastolic. The systolic measurement, or the "top number", is the pressure of blood against your artery walls when the heart has just finished pumping. The diastolic measurement, or the "bottom number", is the pressure of blood against your artery walls between heartbeats, when the heart is relaxed and filling with blood.
Below are the Joint National Commission (JNC) new guidelines for Hypertension:
Blood Pressure
HIGH blood pressure
140 or Greater
90 or Greater
Less than 119
Less than 79
Every patient is different so it is a good idea to keep a record of your blood pressures so you can further discuss them with your Doctor.

Did you know?
In Basotho tradition, it is up to the women to grind the maize and make beer for mealtimes.
Eating out in Mangaung/Bloemfontein is an absolute pleasure, especially for those with adventurous palates.
In the city of Bloemfontein BaSotho and Afrikaans food traditions merge on a plate. Portions are big and red meat is the name of the game so make sure that you arrive at your Free State dinner dates feeling hungry and carnivorous.
If you want to meet gregarious locals, visit Get Together on Nelson Mandela Drive. Don't be put off by the fact that the eatery is situated inside a converted car wash attached to a busy petrol station, rather concentrate on the delicious, Afrikaans style fast food delicacies such as vetkoek (deep-fried fritters filled with spicy mince).
If haute cuisine is your style, treat yourself at De Oude Kraal Country Estate, 35km south of the city. It is situated on a merino sheep farm that dates back to 1885. There are blesbok and black-headed herons in the gardens and five-course set menus in the dining room. Free State food traditions are reflected in caramelised sweet potatoes, clove-rich denningvleis lamb and malva pudding taking star roles in a gastronomic performance deluxe.
Another treat is the food at Seven on Kellner in Westdene who serves up reasonably priced Mediterranean-style food. Whether you pick wood-fired pizza or Harissa-rubbed lamb loin you are sure to find comfort and flavour on your plate.

Sucks for the CFL.Jerome Messam is now a member of the Miami Dolphins.
The Edmonton Eskimos officially announced the tailback signed a contract with the Dolphins Tuesday.
Reports late Saturday said the CFL's outstanding Canadian last year signed with Miami. However hours later a league source confirmed that while Messam had a copy of the contract in his possession he hadn't signed it and didn't finalize the deal until Tuesday.
That left the 26-year-old Messam technically still under contract with the Eskimos. However, he was in the option year of his CFL deal and had until Thursday to sign with an NFL club.
Messam was one of the few remaining CFL players still with a window to sign NFL deals while in their option as he signed his present deal prior to the CFL's latest collective bargaining agreement in 2010. That deal called for the option window to be eliminated following February 2012.
"We knew he was meeting with Miami and that this was certainly a distinct possibility," Eskimos GM Eric Tillman said in a team statement. "As he leaves Edmonton, we want to thank Jerome for his significant contributions to our success in 2011 and we wish him the very best in Miami."
Messam joins former Hamilton Tiger-Cats wide receiver and kick returner Marcus Thigpen in Miami. Thigpen signed a contract with the Dolphins earlier this off-season.
Financial details of the three-year deal -- including any potential signing bonus -- weren't immediately available. But the NFL rookie minimum salary in 2012 will be US$390,000, which is significantly more than what Messam would make this season in Edmonton.
Messam enjoyed a banner 2011 campaign with Edmonton, becoming the first Canadian since 2000 to crack the 1,000-yard rushing plateau. The six-foot-three, 245-pound Toronto native, who grew up in Brampton, Ont., ran for 1,057 yards and was named the CFL's outstanding Canadian as well as a league all-star.
Messam's season ended in the West Division semifinal when he suffered a torn meniscus in his knee that required surgery.
Edmonton acquired Messam from the B.C. Lions prior to the start of the 2011 season for a 2013 fifth-round selection.
Despite his immense talent, Messam wore out his welcome in Vancouver due to a series of transgressions that culminated in a suspension by the CFL team prior to being dealt to Edmonton.
In 2010, he broke former Lions' teammate Paris Jackson's jaw in a dressing-room fight and received a suspended sentence and fine for an altercation in a London, Ont., nightclub.
But Messam took full advantage of his second chance with Edmonton under first-year head coach Kavis Reed. If Messam signs with Miami, his departure means the Eskimos have to open the 2012 season with neither Messam nor quarterback Ricky Ray, who was dealt to the Toronto Argonauts earlier this off-season.
With Messam officially on his way to Miami, that leaves the Eskimos with Hugh Charles and versatile Canadian Calvin McCarty to play tailback.
As well, there are such veterans as Avon Cobourne, Wes Cates and Joffrey Reynolds who were released earlier this off-season by their respective clubs and have yet to sign.

Eating Out in Majorca In Recent years Majorca has become a great destination for food lovers. The food ranges from delicious paella eaten at a beachside restaurant to succulent roasts in the island's interior. Majorcan cuisine is based on pork, seafood and vegetables and being part of Spain there is always a generous serving of olive oil and garlic. Three typical Majorcan foods are ensaimada, a spiral pastry which is usually eaten for breakfast, Frit Mallorquí a vey popular dish containing either meat, fish and vegetables usually eaten for lunch and finally Sobrassada a deliciously soft chorizo style cured ham which is used as a spread. Of course in Majorca you can get typical Spanish cuisine such as tapas and the like at many of the restaurants.
