I am not going to tell you why you should be on disease-modifying therapy for MS. Instead, I want to provide some information to help you decide if Avonex is the right choice for you as you consider the various existing disease-modifying therapies (DMT).

I know that the decision-making process around MS treatment can be confusing and stressful, with the drug companies presenting information on colorful websites with testimonials from smiling patients who "swear by" their drug of choice.

My goal is to give you the practical information that I was interested in when I was trying to make a decision about which MS treatment to start.

Avonex: The Bottom Line

Avonex (Interferon beta-1a) provides the lowest dose of all the interferons (30mcg/week, while Rebif is 44mcg 3 times/week). There is some evidence that higher-dose interferons may be more effective in some patients, and many doctors switch their patients to Rebif if they have several relapses on Avonex.

That said, it is still true that all of the CRAB drugs (Copaxone, Rebif, Avonex, Betaseron) are pretty much equally effective overall, offering about one-third reduction in relapses when compared to a placebo over two years in people with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS).

People with RRMS usually make their treatment decisions based on their doctor's advice and experience with similar patients, as well as concerns about convenience, side effects and cost. Avonex is also FDA-approved for use in people who have had one attack, which is suspected to be MS, but does not meet all diagnostic criteria.

Many people choose Avonex as their first disease-modifying therapy because they will only need one injection per week, as opposed to 3 to 7 injections per week that are required for some of the other drugs. The once-a-week dosing schedule also reduces flu-like side effects commonly associated with these drugs (many people take their injections on Friday night, giving them the weekend to recover).

These factors make Avonex a convenient choice for people who are working full-time, caring for small children, or have other concerns that make limiting "down time" due to side effects a necessity.

The dosing schedule also appeals to many people who are uncomfortable with injecting themselves, although Avonex injections are intramuscular (usually injected into the muscle of the thigh), whereas all of the other CRAB drugs are given subcutaneously (injected into the fat right under the skin).

If people are very nervous about injecting themselves -- and don't have family members or friends willing to do it -- arrangements can usually be made for a technician at a doctor's office to give the injections. However, most people eventually become "comfortable" enough with the process to do it themselves.

More Details on Avonex

Type of MS and Severity
Avonex is for people with RRMS. It is also approved for use in people who have experienced one "MS event," but do not yet meet all criteria for MS.

Effectiveness
Similar to all the CRAB drugs, Avonex was found to decrease relapses by 32% in an initial trial of patients with mild to moderate RRMS over 2 years (18 to 38% decrease in subsequent studies, depending on type of patient and length of treatment time). Avonex does not seem to become less effective over time.

Necessary Monitoring
Blood tests need to be done every 3 months for the first year to check white blood cell count and liver function. After a year, these checks can be reduced to once every four months.

Injection Considerations
Avonex is given once a week as an intramuscular injection into the thigh, which is usually done by the patient or a nurse. The needle is 1.25 inches long, and is 23-gauge (however, a 25-gauge (thinner), 1-inch (shorter) needle can be substituted if a doctor gives the okay). Red spots at the injection sites, as seen with the other interferon treatments, do not usually occur since Avonex is injected into the muscle. Avonex should be given on the same day every week, but injections can be as close as 5 days or as long as 10 days apart.

Side Effects
The side effects of Avonex are similar to those of other interferon-based therapies, however Avonex does not cause as many injection-site reactions as the others.

 Flu-like Symptoms
The most important side effect is flu-like symptoms, which are experienced by about 61% of patients. These include: fever, chills, sweating, muscle aches and fatigue (but not nausea or stomach upset), and they last for 24 to 36 hours. This side effect is usually the worst after the first dose and progressively lessens with each injection. Most people still experience these symptoms after 6 months, though they're usually more tolerable. This reaction can be reduced by starting with a low dose and increasing to a full dose gradually over several weeks. Taking ibuprofen or acetaminophen a couple hours before and after an injection can help with some of these side effects, too.

 Liver Damage
Hepatitis and elevated levels of liver enzymes, which can cause liver damage, have been reported. Regular monitoring is required to prevent liver damage from occurring or progressing (see "Necessary Monitoring" above).

 Blood Counts
Avonex can cause a decrease in the numbers of red and white blood cells, as well as a reduction in the number of platelets in the blood.

 Depression
Avonex should be used with caution in patients with depression.

History
Avonex has been available since 1995. It is made by Biogen Idec.

Storage
Avonex comes in new, prefilled syringes (called luer lock), which can be left unrefrigerated for up to 7 days. However, Avonex also comes in a powder that must be mixed; it can be kept at room temperature for up to 30 days.

Use
If prefilled syringes are stored in the refrigerator, they should be brought to room temperature before injecting (take them out of refrigerator 30 to 60 minutes before use.) Because it is an intramuscular injection, it does not come with an injecting device.

Cost
Avonex costs between 24,000 and 30,000 dollars a year. (Check exact prices at DestinationRx.com). It is covered by most insurance plans. For assistance in figuring out reimbursement, patients can call reimbursement specialists at Avonex Services at 1-800-456-2255.

According to the company website: "Our specialists can help you with any questions about your health insurance plan and your percentage of coverage, as well as assist in 'prior-authorization.' They can also assist with claims denials and find other sources of support for which you may qualify, including the Avonex Access Program, which provides support to qualified uninsured patients."

Your doctor's office or local chapter of the MS Society should also be able to assist you in determining financial options for affording treatment.

Safety
Avonex can be used indefinitely. It has a comparable safety record to other interferon-based drugs, which are considered safe for long-term use as long as appropriate monitoring for liver function and blood cell count are maintained.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Avonex is considered to be in "pregnancy category C," meaning that it caused some harm to fetuses in animal studies but the effect in humans is unknown. Avonex should not be used by women who are pregnant and should be stopped for some time before trying to conceive (usually one to three months; discuss this with your doctor). Avonex should not be used by women who are breastfeeding.

Contraindications
Avonex can be used in conjunction with other drugs. However, it should be used with caution in people with seizure disorders and cardiac problems, as there have been reports of people developing these problems while on Avonex who had no prior history or predisposing risk factors. Some also experienced exacerbations of existing seizure or cardiac problems. People with a history of depression should be monitored closely while on Avonex.

GAINESVILLE — Three days after his public confrontation with a newspaper reporter following a spring practice session, Florida coach Urban Meyer offered a private apology.
Meyer met with Orlando Sentinel reporter Jeremy Fowler on the practice field Saturday — a conversation in which Fowler said an apology was extended and accepted. The conversation lasted about 22 minutes, and Meyer declined to speak with other reporters afterward.
"I won't get into the details of the conversation, but I will say that Urban did apologize, and I feel like as far as a work-related conversation, it was constructive," Fowler said.
Meyer confronted Fowler on Wednesday, calling him a "bad guy" for his blog post that quoted receiver Deonte Thompson as referring to John Brantley, the Gators' new starter, as "a real quarterback" compared to predecessor Tim Tebow. Many surmised Thompson meant Brantley was a more conventional or prototypical passer than Tebow.
Asked about the crux of the incident, Fowler said: "I think Urban is a pro-player coach. I think he wanted to defend his player. If he feels like one of his players gets wounded emotionally or physically or in any way, he wants to support that."
Spring scrimmages
USF: The Bulls' first spring scrimmage under coach Skip Holtz was closed to the media but drew a crowd of 700 season-ticket holders. Sophomore running back Demetris Murray ran for a touchdown, and quarterback B.J. Daniels had a touchdown pass. Senior running back Aston Samuels injured an ankle, though the severity wasn't known.
FSU: Senior QB Christian Ponder went 6-of-12 for 91 yards and led three scoring drives in the first spring scrimmage for coach Jimbo Fisher. "I was pretty pleased, I really was," he said. "We were far from perfect; we have a lot of things to work on. But we'll get there."
Times staff writer Greg Auman contributed to this report, which used information from the Associated Press.

Telephone legal advice is available for preliminary information, advice and referrals. Advice is usually restricted to a client's basic legal rights and obligations about a particular situation. If the problem is too complex or too lengthy for a phone call, the client will be offered an appointment at a Commission office or referred to other sources of assistance.
Country callers from within South Australia can use the Legal Help Line to contact the Adelaide office for the cost of a local call. For clients unable to attend an appointment in person, a telephone advice appointment can be booked and any relevant documents can be faxed to us with the assistance of a local Families SA Office.
If you are deaf, or have a hearing or speech impairment you can contact us through the National Relay Service.
Free legal advice is available to any person on most legal matters. The role of the legal adviser is to identify the client's problem, to inform the client of their rights and obligations and to help them understand what course(s) of action can be taken. The adviser may also draft letters for clients where appropriate.
Examples of the areas on which we can offer advice are:
The Adelaide office has specialist social security advisers who can provide help and advice about Centrelink matters.
A family law and child support advice service to prisoners is available by telephone and interview.

It can't always be comfortable being the wealthy socialist
Now he lives with a young family in a cliff-top mansion in England's pretty south-west. Most of his loyal audience is greying too, into a more affluent, post-upwardly mobile middle age.
But despite his swollen bank account and burgeoning midriff, the "Bard of Barking" remains angry and winningly loose-lipped.
"I just don't believe that opinions should be means-tested," the singer-songwriter told the Weekend Financial Review before his first tour Down Under in four years.
"Some people want a means test to decide whether you should be in the political debate. What size of house you have shouldn't matter. That's just a way of trying to shut people up."
From this weekend, the 54-year-old will be espousing this message in a country where Treasurer
Many have tried and failed to shut Bragg up. The extreme right-wing British National Party recently urged neighbours to kick him out of the Dorset village where he lives.
Such hatred is the price of a 30-year-career of fearless activism, which Bragg continues daily on Twitter and in performances such as those at the annual Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival, which celebrates trade unionism and a group transported to Australia for founding a union in the 1830s.
But does he fear that many of his fans come out to relive a more passionate political youth for one night of guilty pleasure – only to return home to more pressing middle-class concerns, like which private school to send the kids to?
"I hope not," he says. "I've stopped playing Between The Wars (his rousing tribute to the 1984-85 miners' strike) because people end up getting nostalgic for
"That '80s nostalgia doesn't do it for me and it doesn't inspire people. I will leave that to Tony Hadley [of Spandau Ballet] and Boy George."
Bragg first declared his manifesto with 1983's punky Life's a Riot with Spy Vs Spy and continued with several well-regarded albums that mixed stirring social commentary with touching love songs that were gruff, gauche and tender all at once.
His recordings have slowed as his writing career has taken off but last year's fittingly pugnacious Fight Songs combined 10 years of free downloads with new tunes. It included the folky Never Buy The Sun, an attack on the phone-hacking antics of
Live, he playfully tweaks his best lines to bring them up-to-date; "Mixing pop and politics he asks me what the use is; I offer him embarrassment and my usual excuses", now ends with the confessional "I offer them my acupuncturist and my masseuses".
The first half of his set on this tour is a tribute to Woody Guthrie, the grandfather of protest music who would have been 100 years old this year, and whose lost lyrics Bragg turned into the dual Mermaid Avenue albums with Wilco in 1998 and 2000 – the first went gold in Oz. "Many of Woody's songs resonate with what's happening now as much as they did in, say, 1929," he says.
"I Ain't Got No Home in This World Anymore talks about people losing their homes to the banks and dying for want of proper healthcare. Woody has a lot to tell us."
Cue cheerful rant about why he withheld his taxes in protest at RBS bankers' bonuses, and what's wrong with post-Thatcherite Britain, ending with the punchline: "It's just as well the free market didn't run the London Olympics – otherwise it would have really gone tits up."
Bragg isn't the only angry older man of rock these days. Alongside perennial protester
"You are only there to express your opinion," insists Bragg, (who is quick to point out that he exhorts democratic socialism "which doesn't necessitate the abolition of capitalism"). "It's merely an opinion and the basic fundamentals of society allow me to express it.
"It may be that they see what's happening in the Occupy movement and feel renewed again at the shows. That is what keeps me coming out and doing this stuff.
"My job is to come to their town and make them feel they are not the only people in the town who care about this stuff. My hope is they remain engaged and not just for that evening. They may even be inspired to respond. Ultimately only the audience can change the world, not some singer-songwriter."

HOUMA — Two men were burned during a house fire on Mahler Street Saturday night.
Houma Fire officials are still investigating the cause of the blaze, which started about 9 p.m. and charred roughly one-third of the home at 210 Mahler St., said District Fire Chief Ernie Miller.
Though the men's names were not immediately available from emergency responders, neighbors said the injured were Gary Pitre and a friend.
Pitre's wife, Shirley, was across the street and not injured in the fire.
The men were taken to Terrebonne General Medical Center, according to Acadian Ambulance.
Next-door neighbor Delores Davis said she was on her side porch when Pitre and his friend ran outside, yelling for help.
"It was like the light in the kitchen kept getting brighter and brighter," said Kevin Portier, who was sitting on Davis' side porch and called 911.
Davis, a certified nurse's assistant and sitter, ran inside to get a fire extinguisher. One of the men couldn't remove the pin in the device, so he threw it in the house, she said. Davis said she went in the burning home to get the extinguisher to use it. But as she was running out, an explosion hit her back and she sustained minor burns on her shoulder. Davis and Portier said Pitre and his friend had burns on their arms and possibly others that weren't visible.
Three fire trucks and 11 firefighters responded to the scene, along with help from Houma Police. The firefighters extinguished the blaze in five minutes, Miller said.
Staff Writer Naomi King can be reached at 857-2209 and email@example.com.

I was inspired when Jennifer, one of my very crafty friends, showed me a picture of a bird feeder made from a wine bottle. We were both excited about the concept. We chatted about how cute it was, but we saw some issues with the functionality of the design. I kept thinking about the bird feeder idea and finally came up with my own design that is fairly inexpensive and doesn't require any glass cutting.
- large wine bottle
- 6 inch square glass plate ( I found mine at the grocery store for less than $2)
- 24-30 inches of 12 gauge galvanized utility wire
- silicon adhesive
- dry erase marker
- ruler
- drill with 1/8 inch glass and tile bit and a 1/2 inch glass bit
- pliers
- wire cutter
- safety glasses
Start by washing and removing the label from your wine bottle.
My first attempt at filling this feeder turned out to be a disaster. The neck of the bottle is pretty narrow and I spilled bird food all over the place. You can avoid my mistake by making a simple paper funnel so the seeds go into the bottle without all the mess. Much easier and cleaner.
If you are wondering whether the birds will like this type of feeder... They look happy to me.

|Reviews for Dreams of a World
| John Smith chapter 1 . 7/24/2016
This is really beautiful. I love how in-character everyone was here. Jiraiya's perspective on a child was touching. He's always been so much about kids. I love him for it! Your writing style was a joy to read! Great job! :)
| rachel101448 chapter 1 . 4/26/2014
Great writing! Definitely how I would've imagined a young Kakashi and Jiraiya would have interacted.
| ONeill-Fan14 chapter 1 . 4/29/2013
Thank you for this story. I love Kakashi, he is my favourite character and I always enjoy FFs regarding his development.
Just like you I was always sure, that there had to been some other connection between Jiraiya and Kakashi but Naruto. You captured the development of their relationship very well and also gave a likely impression who they could have met and how they drifted apart. I think Jiraiya just like Kakashi has many regrets. One of them is not saving his best friend, another is letting Kakashi and Naruto down.
So all in all I like your FF very much.
Thank you
Please excuse the mistakes, english is not my mother tongue
| ncfan chapter 1 . 4/17/2011
This... This is exactly how I expect Jiraiya and Kakashi's background together to be, if Kishimoto ever chooses to expand upon it (Which we all know he probably won't). It has the advantage of being sweet, original and funny in places as much as it's saturated with angst. And I just love the "shove a Rasengan down his throat" line.
| WitchOfTheWilds chapter 1 . 1/29/2011
I like the way you still make Kakashi kind of a child, instead of just a mindless machine. Kishimoto needs to give us more Young Sannin backstory, and more young Kakashi.
| Samps432 chapter 1 . 2/11/2010
that was so great! i loved it and the characters seemed so really too, great job! :)
| al3n3a chapter 1 . 6/9/2009
This is a great story. I love Jiraiya's POV and his observations. Thanks for sharing!
| kakashifan9 chapter 1 . 5/10/2009
It's so cute how Jiriaya treats Kakashi! It's kind of like a Naruto and Sasuke type of relationship thing. I can just imagine Kakashi as a little kid fighting with Jiraiya! That's so adorable! XD
I love your story. It was very touching and cute.
| poisontreat chapter 1 . 3/4/2007
very nicely done. not too emotional yet enough to get a feeling for those involved!
| Ms Trick chapter 1 . 3/1/2007
Fabulous! Kakashi and Jiraiya seem to be popping off the page - this is really well written. Nicely done!
| Kwala chapter 1 . 2/7/2007
i really liked this!
| XStrife chapter 1 . 11/25/2006
Really well written plot. The characters were well placed, and who would have thought that Jiraiya and Kakashi had this kind of relation? Anyhow, nicely done.
| AlwayzBored chapter 1 . 10/6/2006
| no name chapter 1 . 8/27/2006
That was so... Agh. I don't what to say. Something way better than great.
| sakuzi-chan chapter 1 . 7/16/2006
This fic was just simply fantastic. It's so Jiraiya. And Kakashi. The first three sections was as if you wrote a window into their actual canon life. The last, ah...
Heh, poor Kakashi's exposure to the 'Waterfall' (beet-red face hahaha), together with such quirky Jiraya-like reasoning is probably my favourite bit, together with this line "Glaring matches and fights would ensue until Kakashi was tied to a tree or sent flailing down a cliff, depending on Jiraiya's mood." (which set me off laughing out loud)
Another great characterization was the encounter after Kakashi's first kill. Their actions belying the callous, icy words. Plus Yondaime at the end was so fitting.
I noticed that you didn't explicitly mention this being a one-shot, so there's some hope for another insightful chapter maybe? Would love for there to be more!

See Don Mattingly Have a Cinder Block Smashed on His Chest [VIDEO]
Evansville native Don Mattingly is known for many things. First and foremost his days as player for the New York Yankees, followed by managing stints with the Los Angeles Dodgers and now the Miami Marlins. He's also a philanthropist, giving back to the community he calls home, and now he can add "human chopping block" to the list after letting another grown man smash a cinder block on his chest — with sledgehammer.
With Opening Day just a couple of weeks away, it's not uncommon for teams to bring guests into the locker room to help keep players loose, or give them a break from the riggers of spring training and exhibition games. Which I presume was the reason Mattingly and the Marlins brought in Donnie Moore (not to be confused with Owensboro car dealer, Don Moore), a preacher and motivational speaker, who also apparently spends whatever time he has away from the church in the weight room.
He also apparently has a real disdain for concrete.
I assume the purpose of Moore's visit with the Marlin's last week was to demonstrate the principal of mind of matter, and you can do anything you want if you apply the proper amount of focus, etc. As part of the demonstration, Mattingly laid across a stack of cinder blocks, and allowed Moore to smash one on his chest for the purpose of — well, I don't know what. Trusting each other, maybe?
Whatever the reason, it happened. After a quick sign of the cross by Mattingly, and I'm sure an internal "Please God, don't let this guy smash my rib cage with a sledge hammer" prayer, Moore gives a quick three count and unleashes his might.
So… this happened.
Thanks to @ClaimTheVictory & Donnie Moore of Radical Reality for stopping by for some fun today! pic.twitter.com/c58lap03Jr

Mattingly and the Marlins will begin the 2017 season on the road Monday, April 3rd with a trip to the nation's capitol to take on the Washington Nationals.

Comedy Central is very quickly becoming Natasha Leggero Central. The comedian has appeared on the network for both good (the network's new late-night show @midnight) and ill (the odious Brickleberry), and now it seems she'll be showing up there a lot more, as the network is developing both a new series produced by and starring Leggero, and a new stand-up special, with the latter shooting in April at Boston's Wilbur Theater.
Leggero's series, Another Period, will be a reality-show spoof following two socialites (Leggero and Garfunkel And Oates' Riki Lindhome) from a rich but useless family... in 1902. The show could be a Victorian-era Arrested Development—or a live-action Drawn Together—but the presence of Drunk History creator Jeremy Konner in the director's chair is at least a little reassuring.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
OhInternet was a poorly-conceived replacement for Encyclopaedia Dramatica, and a blatant Know Your Meme ripoff, designed to appeal to the internet savvy, yet easily offended 18-34 year old demographic. Amazingly, without even using a single picture of a mutilated penis, the site had managed to be even more insulting and offending than its predecessor. First, it's about as funny as the rotting corpse of a dead infant, and looks just as awful: as any competent web designer will tell you, you should always try to stuff as many ads in the page as possible, at the cost of content and repelling any and all visitors. Second, create a site dedicated to recording internet phenomena, while dumbing down the information so that elderly grandmothers and 50-something year old advertising agents (two groups that are obviously very knowledgeable about internet culture) can understand it. Add even more ads pandering to "counter cultural" 18-34 year olds, and finally, alienate 99.99% of your userbase, thereby substantially reducing the amount of people who click on your advertisements. Now, you have a recipe for disaster.
edit Safe for Work
In order to draw advertisers, and pay for their new servers, OhInternet insisted that all of their articles be strictly Safe For Work. This eliminated all the racism, sexism, homophobia, and extreme religious prejudice. Except where it draws advertisers. It also eliminated most of the jokes at others expense, cyberbullying, all of the cursing, and anything that isn't politically correct or might offend an elderly grandmother or an irate boss (who is already irate that his company's computers were used for any purpose besides working). Except where it draws advertisers. In other words, it was similar to the old "What-Port-80" but without the rainbowy childish art at the top. Because childish art doesn't draw advertisers. Except maybe Fisher Price.
edit Alienating your Userbase and Influencing Advertisers
It is difficult to troll a troll, or offend someone as jaded as an ED user, but OhInternet managed to do both of these with astonishing success. First by eliminating the forums promoting trolling, and secondly by removing virtually all of the articles related to trolling, as well as the offensive content that attracted most of ED's immature user base in the first place, most of whom are regular frequenters of 4chan. Which explained a lot when you think about it.
The fact that they are regular frequenters of 4chan means that they do not have any interest in porn ads, especially if it involves paying money, when they can get their porn on 4chan for FREE. Also, ED was like a secret addiction to site readers who are over 25 or have a job, or religious relatives, since most corporate employers and religious relatives tend to frown on offensive content, shock images, grotesque photos, and porn (ie about 99% of ED's content). Thus, there was little or no interest in ED T-shirts, coffee mugs, and other merchandise.
No business, even a nonprofit, can survive for long in the red, and the old ED was no different. ED was maintained by donations from its surprisingly generous fan base, but even generosity tends to run out eventually. On April 15th 2011, ED was swallowed up by OhInternet. OhInternet was designed with a purely business motive, and disregarding what the old userbase of ED was all about. All of the old articles from ED were scrapped without warning. Oddly enough, OhInternet did not even import all the articles from WP80, the work-safe version of ED, which was developed side-by-side in the late stages of ED, but never attracted the attention of advertisers.

I plan on building a fulltext search for my website coupled with the porter2 stemming algorithm and a synonym dictionary to expand the results.
I would also like to include spelling suggestions - I think this can be done php's pspell_suggest function or even levenshtein or similar_text.
I've been reading around and some people have suggested that using php for this on a large database would be a massive memory drain - I haven't been able to find much more on it. Is this true? If so what alternatives could I use?
I can not answer that question from a hardware point of view (server limits) - though I think it's an intresting job and I am convinced it is possible!One just needs to reduce the memory usage with clever coding - and a decent server will help too ofcourse..I mean - if nothing helps, use that c-compiler from facebook - it's opensource and converts your php to c++ (if Im not mistaken)
However - here are some hints - I assume you know all that already - but if not - hope it helps..
From coding some advanced webstats tools, I got some insight in huge datasets..since there are mostly integers to find, it is not that relevant for your job..but I found some good clues on "how to get memory usage down" on huge data sets
tree-structurize your search..=> main query looks in a smaller table for some raw info, where to look. Than narrow your search to those pointers
imagine something like "if a part of the term is "sh", than look in those 3 thousand rows only"so to speak a contents directory or a search index that delivers an integer row id to use in a second level of querys..
you will have a smaller data set to search that way.. - fulltext on a huge table is not fast and not lightweightbut fulltext on a limited set of data (even 3000 rows), that is additionally limited and filtered by integer IDs is much faster and less a hog.additionally the second query-level, those that can be run one after the other in a loop, are split-parts of the full result, those parts can be cached and reused for a short time20 seconds will already reduce load a lot depending on your project!
=> Do not use JOINSyou can even create huge queries with hundreds of: "AND foo = 'bar' "On large tables, the above will be much faster than a join with a scond table..but joins and huge tables = lot of memory, lot of time, lot of cpu..it's not sexy to skip joins but a good idea for your task..
=> always niclude a integer id in the query (can only be done with a search index liek described above)create the final sql-string in a loop that ads a condition for each what-ever-you-search and run at the end only one query in (preferably only one) table at a timeto query two tables in one query is also possible and also for quite large tables still an option thoughit does really (almost) not matter for the memory question how many conditions you have - but if you do not adress each row manually firts, SQL has to look thourgh all rows to sort,order,search something.if you have 3000 times OR id = 123, you will only have 3000 rows to do a fulltext - not millions of rows..integer filtering on a key field is made to be fast ans lightweight..rely on that feature..
well - my 2 cents..Hope you or some else can use itgood luck..
Ok say I have indexed all my pages into a table that had the columns id, title, headings & body and each column is weighted differently.
And the term "Apple" is searched. Are you suggesting that I have something that says the term "Apple" fits in the "Fruit" category and that contains these page id's, so search only the page id's in the "Fruit" category?
That could be difficult to implement but maybe it's necessary for faster results.
Thanks for the tips Hensel - I totally forgot about facebook's php compiler
yes and no my idea was even more abstracted - I try to elaborate with your example..I think for a text search, something like this would be benefitial..
apple starts with Ap and contains "pp" - both are specific, recognizable parts of the term, that can narrow down the search result
an Index, that can deliver rows, where one of those fits, would help..
so "Ap" is found in rows 1500-2200 and 3215-3400 etc...pp can be found found in rows x - y
even if the row list looks like this1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,22,25,88,89,150,151,158,160,etcwith the hint from above=> "create the final sql-string in a loop that ads a condition for each what-ever-you-search and run at the end only one query in (preferably only one) table at a time"you will save a lot of memory..the bigger your table, the more you save..
each time a new term is entered in the database, a specially made function, analysis the term and slpits it in to "searchable" parts like "Ap" or "pp"than you add the row number of the new term to the index-table where it fits..
Either you define those "parts" or you get some text-analyzer that can do that..look at phpclasses.org - Im sure you will find anything that suits this job..
Alltogether it may look too complexe for the task - but imagine millions of rows and a memmory error on each search..if that happens, a complexe but working solution is preferable..
However - those hints are just methods to reduce memory usage and other problems you "might" encounter..as I said, Im not even sure, at what point you will reach such problems
but IF they come, try those methods..
Im trying to put all in a relation:if your search is just for one website, you will have some thousand rows if it's a big site - you will NEVER have any problems with fulltext on that sizeonly if you have scanned millions of websites, or hundreds of books, etc..
for example I made for a client a full text search on about 20 different versions of the bible in 10 different languages..those are hundredthousands of verses (1 row in db for each verse) - I didnt use an index as described - and I have no issues with searching..so if your project is NOT much bigger, skip the above, ignore the rants about php and code your fulltext search - it will work..I used as pressumption, that you mean a search engine in the size of google or so - there you might find memory trouble and need those tricks you said "on a large database would be a massive memory drain"in my understanding, that issue is irrelevant below let's say 2million rows.. (estimation-alert)
<irony> ok ok WP can have such memory problems already with 8 plugins and no content at all - but since we dont do it the same way than the WP guys... </irony>if the WP fans say php is not suited for big jobs because WP has those issues, it's just some wannabe-smart-ppl who have no clue what they talk about..
Thanks Hensel, I will probably stick just the full text search for now. I will only have small site to begin with but I would like to allow account for future growth but In reality it would probably take many years for the site to grow to above 100,000 rows if it's successful - I'm just being overly cautious.
But if things start to slow down I know where look, thanks Hensel.

Anyone else had fights in their family today?

My parents seperated in August this year after 27 years of marriage. It is long and complicated and obvious my Dad does not want to get back together. It appears my Mum has always hated him but she is the one not letting go.
ANYWAY... Christmas build up has been tense about what was happening but Mum decides to organise something at Dads house (well technically their house but Dad is the only one that lives there) for myself, my 2 brothers and my sister and our families to celebrate Christmas. There were a few arguments between Mum and Dad all week and I was dreading a fight in front of the kids on the day but hoped for the best. Ideally we would have all preferred to do something seperately.
Christmas lunch starts at 11. Mum gets there at 1045. DH, I and kids arrive 1050 and Mum has already flipped out hugely at Dad and left. I ring her and she is sobbing and at the cemetry visiting her deceased brother, sister and parents. Says Dad is seeing another woman etc etc. Refuses to come back. My siblings and I don't know what to do as she is the one that has bought all presents and prepared all food and feel mean doing it without her.
Ds, 4 then asks if we can just go home.
Anyone elses family have any fights today?
Posted 25 December 2012 - 05:04 PM
Argh, you poor thing and your poor mum too. less than 6mths apart after 27years together is a huge thing to try and get over.
Love your DS's comment though. Out of the mouths of babes or what?
Ours wasnt too bad actually. We only had one moment when FIL said something archaic and dumb regarding driving in torrential rain on motorways/freeways and both DH and BIL double teamed him. It was kinda awesome actually.
Posted 25 December 2012 - 05:04 PM

Well my uncle told my mum he wouldn't speak to her all next year because she won't let him go to their holiday house because he is a drunk. He later told my aunt he wore the shirt he did for her benefit "f*** off I have enough friends" that ended things with her for the year as well.

My bil complained that we asked for 10 pp to cover the food last night. We also asked that no one feed the dog as his been sick with 3 days in the icu and is only allowed bland food he threw food around the yard over the Fence and drank more then 10 worth of dh's beam then bagged out the food saying its not as good as what we have when it's at other bil house when there exact the same everyone dislikes this bil who also can't hold his booze

lets see.
He has some pearlers.
Todays was "Yes but if it is raining, it doesnt matter if you are travelling in the fast lane, you should just drive to your ability. you shouldnt have to move over into the slow lane just because other lunatics (people who drive to the speed limit) want to go past you "
Both DH and BIL are frequent freeway drivers so proceeded to lay into him about the actual road rules and subsequent fines.
He's old(ish) and sometimes I suspect he blurts out these pearlers just to rile people up. I dont think he was expecting the tongue lashing he got though. lol, he picked the wrong day for it as it is horrendous weather in sydney today
Posted 25 December 2012 - 07:56 PM
I was told by my MIL that I work too much and spend too much time with my friends and not enough time with (read: looking after) my husband. Well, given that he is a SAHD, my working is kind of important isn't it? It was rather a tense day.

We had a big family lunch today, with family coming from overseas and all over.
My mum started complaining weeks ago that she wished that we'd cook the lunch (we always offer, she always refuses) so we took over the lunch prep. She then spent all day complaining about how she couldn't get in the kitchen, loudly saying how awful the food was sure to be and that no-one would ever eat it, and loudly insulted my touchy SIL (the SIL is never coming back, ever, as far as she's concerned) by turning her nose up at the bunch of flowers and chocs she was given.
She then waited and WAITED and WAITED until everyone else had their plates served up, and there was plenty of food left. Just before people started coming for seconds we quickly said "Mum, get your plate dished up!" but she huffed off saying she wasn't hungry. She then kept an eye on things, and the minute all the roast potatoes and lamb had been eaten she made a huge fuss about how she did all the work and there was now no food left for her.
She flounced off, started smashing the dishes in the kitchen in a half hearted attempt to wash them. Myself and two SILs took over the dishes, (didn't need any more than 3 people in the kitchen), and so she then goes on about how the other SIL (the one who brought the flowers) is such a lazy so-and-so as she wasn't helping. She kept turning off the music, yelling at the kids to get out of her bloody way, and she refused to let us do the dishes in peace, she kept going through all the drawers and cupboards loudly complaining that we weren't putting things in the right places.
We all eventually slunk away, very angry and upset with her, and she's now complaining that no-one thanked her for all her hard work and that no-one said goodbye.
I am actually really livid. My day turned into crap thanks to my mum matyring herself and doing her best to make everyone have a miserable time. Lots of lessons learnt for next time, that's for sure.
Edited to add that DH also decided to be an idiot as well, telling me that the reason I don't have a job yet is that I don't want it enough. It's all my own fault. This just tops off yesterday when he told me that the money he earns is his and his only.

Wow - well done Ange!
Sorry to everyone else who had crappy stuff happen today. My family is far from perfect, but we usually manage things like Christmas well - we had a good day today, if a bit sad because it was the first Christmas without my stepfather, who passed away in October.
Posted 25 December 2012 - 08:33 PM
For the first time in our 20 odd year marriage, there were no arguments with DH's family.and no one stormed out.
I attribute this to a couple things.
1). DH invited one his workmates and his wife for lunch ( they have only been in Sydney for 8 mths and on their own this year) so his family was on their best behaviour.
2). I sat at the kid's table and did not hear the disgusting comments that FIL made abiout Germans (our guests were German) and only heard about them after they had left
3). MIL and I are not actually 'speaking'. I am civil to her and only discuss the basics
4) BIL did not drink more than a 1/2 glass of champers and a single beer.
So to all. A Merry Christmas! It can happen
cesca - your mum sounds like my MIL. I called her out publicly on her behaviour earlier this year and things are better, but mainly because we are not talking.

My sister decided to attack everything that I have in my birth plan, including not wanting to deliver lying on my back, so I gave her a piece of my mind.
Note- my plan has nothing unusual in it, just things like wanting to use the bath if available, my preferred order of pain releif and wanting an active birth if I can handle the pain.
Posted 25 December 2012 - 08:51 PM
We hosted DH's family for Christmas last Saturday. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the day was going until dessert time when SIL asked me across the table if I regretted not stopping at 3 children. My DH's 90 year old grandmother have her a serve on my behalf. I love her.

Well it wasn't an argument but only because I bit my tounge. But my father who visits once a year from another country spent ten min telling everyone how naughty my DS was at his birthday party on Sunday. DS who is turning 3 was extremely excited to see his friends at his pool party and had a few energetic moments where he needed to be reminded to be careful of his friends. According to my father - DS was a right little Sh#t.
He has noooooo idea.

Ours was calm and peaceful, but all these posts remind me exactly of why I haven't spoken to my mother in over 12 years and have stiffened my resolve to keep it that way.
The first Christmas my husband was in my life, she spent the better part of Christmas Eve telling him loudly how awful all the Americans she'd met were. He's American.
Another time she caused my sister and I to drop our jaws when she proclaimed to all and sundry that the reason black Africans live in grass huts is that they're not as intelligent as white people. (Where was the ABC and "Go Back To Where You Came From" then? She would have been a prime candidate!)
One year she dragged up some long forgotten comment from the past, twisted it and used it against my sister, who was visiting us in Vic from FNQ, and insulted her so badly she got on the next plane and went home.
Just a few of the pearls I can remember. Always after guzzling a couple of glasses of cask wine. In my mothers world this stuff rivals Veuve Cliquot for quality.
I don't miss those days at all.

Get the Recipe
The list of desserts I like is lengthy, but semifreddo is definitely one I could have on a weekly basis. Semifreddo (translation: half-cold) is a partially frozen dessert, often, as in the accompanying recipe, made by folding meringue into a flavored base that's then chilled. The result is a light, almost ethereal dessert that doesn't overwhelm. It's the perfect ending for a heavy meal, especially when it's warm out.
This recipe is inspired by Key lime pie—it starts with tart limes, gets sweetened with condensed milk, then you add super-glossy, billowing Italian meringue. A salty, crunchy pretzel crust provides a nice textural contrast and makes the lime flavor pop.

Q. There are too many initials in high schools. I know kids have to take the SAT. Now I have heard of the PSAT, but what is that exactly and what is the test that has the NMQ or something like that. Please help me sort through all these letters and tests. My son is ranked 4 for his class in a very large high school. He almost aces those tests the kids have to take at the end of each year. With a boy this smart, what do we need to have him take and what can we skip? I can talk to the high school counselor and I will, but help me get started. He's only a freshman.
A. PSAT/NMSQT stands for Preliminary SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) /National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. It also gives you a chance to enter National Merit Scholarship Corp. (NMSC) scholarship programs, and it sounds like your son may have a shot at these.
The PSAT/NMSQT will be a useful tool for you and your son. Have him take it as soon as he is able. Many schools have students take the test as sophomores for practice. Students can take the test additional times to improve their scores. The test is intended, however, for juniors. Your son will learn a lot about his readiness for college and college admission through this process. Upon receiving his results, he will learn how his performance might compare with others planning to apply for college. He will also be able to enter the competition for scholarships from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation in grade 11.
There is also an important box to check off on the PSAT/NMSQT. Students can check "yes" to Student Search Service to receive information from colleges. This can lead your son to schools interested in him as a student. The PSAT/NMSQT for 2007 is given Oct.17 and 20. Your son must sign up for the PSAT/NMSQT at his high school. Please note that each high school chooses only one October test date.
Q. My child was suspended for fighting. There are only three weeks of school left and I want him away from the child he fought with. Can the school enforce this separation?
A. Schools cannot enforce elementary restraining orders, but the principal should work with you to make sure your son does not find himself in a threatening situation. Ask your son where he plays and where he usually encounters the other child. Help your son learn to avoid the other child.
You could also ask for him to go to the library or another classroom during recess or lunch times if you are afraid to leave these two on the playground together. Talk to the principal about what you decide. A fight is not the end of the world, and these children might be able to move past their differences quicker than you might think.

Ok, similar to what we had with O'Brien.
I am just going to step back and let people say what they want about Bird on this. If you think he has been in charge since he took over fine, or if you think he is just now taking over fine, or if you think he is still nothing more than adult Boomer that's fine to.
Here is the queston.
Do you have confidence that Larry Bird is capable of leading us out of the current situation we are in?

I've arrived at the conclusion that making vegan desserts is like being stuck on Gilligan's Island: coconuts will save your ass every time. Thanks to its creamy texture and pleasing flavor, coconut milk makes a great stand-in for dairy, and its tropical nature makes it easy to pair it with a variety of fruits.
So the next time the Vegan Harlem Globetrotters drop by for dinner, or you're trying to smooth things over between Ginger and Mary Ann, try out this dessert based on a recipe by
The Professor Dr. Andrew Weil. Compared to the original, I upped the coconut quotient by using coconut milk instead of generic non-dairy milk, and paired it with a little pineapple-lime-ginger mixture. Should be ready in less than three hours! I'll stop now.
To be fair, this is not a 100% convincing vegan dessert. You can, to some extent, taste its constituent ingredients. But overall, it has a nice taste and not a bad texture, and if your guests aren't paying attention they may not notice its vegan-ness. The only trouble I had with this was bubbles remaining trapped in the flan as it set. I'm not sure what to do about this, other than more gentle blending, perhaps.
5 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 package soft tofu
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon of syrup (above)
Coconut extract to taste (1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon)
Pinch salt
1 can coconut milk, plus half a can's worth of water
1 1/2 tablespoons agar agar, or 3/4 teaspoons agar powder
Place tofu, sugar, coconut extract and salt in your blender. Make the syrup by combining the brown sugar, water and vanilla in a saucepan and heating over low heat until it boils. Boil for five minutes, then add one tablespoon of the syrup to the blender, and divide the remaining syrup among 6-10 cups or ramekins. Swirl the syrup around the ramekins to coat.
Add the coconut milk and agar to the same saucepan and boil over high heat for five minutes (if it foams up too much, take off the heat for a minute). Add this mixture to the blender and blend carefully until smooth. Pour the mixture into the ramekins, cover with plastic wrap and cool in the fridge until set.
When it's time to serve, run a knife or small icing spatula around the inside of each ramekin, place a plate on top, invert, and pray that it comes out.
Serve as-is, or pair with something tropical, like diced pineapple with lime zest and ginger. Mango with ginger and maybe some black pepper would be interesting as well. Enjoy!

Chad profile
Radio is the main medium, but state control of many broadcasting outlets allows few dissenting views.
State-run Radiodiffusion Nationale Tchadienne operates national and regional radio stations. Around a dozen private radio stations are on the air, despite high licensing fees. Some of them are run by non-profit groups. These broadcasters are subject to close official scrutiny.
The only television station, Tele-Tchad, is state-owned and its coverage favours the government.
The BBC (90.6) and Radio France Internationale broadcast on FM in the capital.
Private newspapers critical of the government circulate freely in N'Djamena, but have little impact among the largely rural and illiterate population.
Nearly 191,000 internet users were online by December 2011 (Internetworldstats.com).

Introduction to AYSO Extra
AYSO Region 20 will once again be offering AYSO Extra, a program for advanced players ages 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 looking for more competitive play and increased training. AYSO Extra will do this while retaining core AYSO values, including minimum playing time (Everyone Plays!) and a strong focus on player development. Our first year (2011) of the Extra Program in Region 20 saw tremendous growth in ability and success headlined by our U12 Girls team, which won the State Championship!
In addition, anyone can try out and trying out is free. Details regarding tryouts for the 2017/18 Extra season will be posted here when they're finalized. Tryouts will take place in late April - details regarding tryouts are posted on the Tryout Schedule page under the Fall tab. Participation on an EXTRA team will be by invitation that will be sent following the completion of tryouts, and will be subject to which teams are formed. While there is no guarantee, it is anticipated that one boys and one girls team will be formed in each of the following divisions: U9, U10, U11, U12, U13, U14.
For more information and questions about the program, please see the links below.
Looking forward to a great season ahead,

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is considering a federal safety probe into 2005-2012 Ford Escape sport utility vehicles after receiving a plea from a state consumer agency of stuck electronic throttles.
The North Carolina Consumers Council says that it has received complaints of engine stalling and surging in two 2009 Ford SUVs. Both instances, says the nonprofit safety organization, occurred without warning as drivers were entering traffic or traveling on highways.
A Ford spokeswoman told The Detroit News that it is aware of the NHTSA's possible investigation into its 2005-2012 Ford Escape models, which includes the hybrid version of the compact SUV and will work with the NHTSA's Office of Defect Investigations to determine the cause of the stuck throttles—a safety issue which resulted in a recall due to the Escape's faulty cruise control system.
The compact Ford Escape SUVs has been redesigned for the 2013 model year. But the new-for-2013 Ford Escape has already been the subject of official NHTSA action—including recalls for leaky fuel lines and the risk of engine fires.
Watch Consumer Reports' video to learn how to stop your vehicle safely during incidents of unintended acceleration. Consumers should also go online to the NHTSA webite, www.SaferCars.gov, to report such safety incidents with the federal agency. Read How to write a NHTSA complaint for more information.

Olympic Park, Horse Guards Parade Draw High Praise From Media
Published August 10, 2012
LIKE SAND THROUGH THE HOUR GLASS: In London, Jerome Taylor noted sand from the beach volleyball venue "will be used to build 36 new courts" in and around the greater London area over the coming months "as part of an attempt to build a lasting legacy that will propel Britain towards the next Olympics in Rio." British Olympic officials said that funding "is needed to make sure that the country's newfound love for the sport ... is capitalised on in the aftermath of the Games." The new courts "are being built primarily within the London area under a deal agreed with LOCOG" (INDEPENDENT, 8/9).
HER NAME IS RIO: In London, Paul Newman noted organizers for the '16 Rio de Janeiro Games "have brought 152 observers who are aiming to look and learn from London's example." There are also 51 government officials "studying issues like security." Nearly half the venues to be used in Rio "are existing facilities, while another quarter will be temporary structures." The remaining venues will be new. Construction work in the Olympic Park, "which does not include the main Joao Havelange and Maracana Stadiums, began last month, while builders will move into the last of the four main Olympic clusters at Deodoro next year." The official line on preparations for '16 is that "everything is in good order." However, others "are not so sure." A Brazilian journalist said, "Only the authorities say they are all set for 2016. The people know that we have much to do both in terms of our athletes' preparations and building facilities" (INDEPENDENT, 8/9).

JERUSALEM (Jan. 22)
Deputy Prime Minister Yigal Allon announced today that he has resigned from several important ministerial committees in order to devote his full time to the affairs of the Ministry of Immigrant Absorption which he heads. He has requested that his colleague of the Achdut Avodah faction. Minister of Transport Moshe Carmel, be assigned to his seats on the ministerial committees for occupied territories and security affairs which he is relinquishing.
Mr. Allon's announcement was seen by some observers as bearing out reports of cool relations between him and Prime Minister Levi Eshkol who raised Mr. Allon to the rank of Deputy Prime Minister less than a year ago. Mr. Allon felt, they said, that Mr. Eshkol did not back him strongly enough when plans or suggestions he put forth were at variance with the views of Defense Minister Moshe Dayan. Gen. Dayan was regarded by many as the most "hawkish" of Israel's ministers of the Labor faction. He was also considered to be Mr. Eshkol's most serious rival for the Premiership, and the elevation of Mr. Allon was widely regarded at the time as a move by the Prime Minister to forestall Gen. Dayan's ambition for the post. Mr. Eshkol was believed by some to have taken Mr. Allon less and less into his confidence to avoid the appearance that he was his personally-selected "heir apparent." Mr. Allon reportedly was angered when he returned from a trip to the United States late last year to find that a ministerial committee had been formed to deal with settlement in the Hebron area without his having been consulted or asked to join.

A Carnival spokeswoman told us Saturday that the storm "will no longer affect itineraries for the Carnival Freedom, Carnival Elation, Carnival Inspiration, and Carnival Triumph. The ships will resume original scheduled itineraries." At this time, however, Carnival Liberty is still expected to sail an altered itinerary as detailed below. Royal Caribbean has not altered the itinerary for Grandeur of the Seas, which is expected to call in Cozumel on Monday.
This will be our last report on Matthew.
(12:37 p.m. EDT) -- Tropical Storm Matthew is forecast to weaken, but has already impacted cruise ship itineraries in the Western Caribbean.
According to the National Hurricane Center's 11 a.m. EDT update, Matthew is now located about 45 miles east of Monkey River Town, Belize, and is spreading torrential rain across Central America. Maximum sustained winds are at 50 miles per hour; additional weakening is forecast for the weekend.
Cruise Ship Itinerary Changes
Carnival has adjusted the itineraries of five ships visiting Mexico and Central America based on the storm's expected path. Carnival Liberty will reverse the order of its port calls on its September 25 itinerary. Instead of visiting Cozumel on Monday, a sea day Tuesday, Grand Cayman Wednesday and Ocho Rios Thursday, the ship instead will call on Ocho Rios on Monday, followed by Grand Cayman, a sea day and Cozumel. It will return to Miami as scheduled on Saturday, October 2.
Carnival Freedom will completely change its eight-night Central America cruise to Cozumel, Limon and Colon, departing on September 25, to an Eastern Caribbean cruise. The ship will now depart Fort Lauderdale on Saturday, remain at sea Sunday, call in San Juan on Monday, St. Thomas/St. John on Tuesday, Antigua on Wednesday, Tortola/Virgin Gorda on Thursday, at sea Friday and Nassau on Saturday, before returning to Fort Lauderdale on Sunday, October 3.
Carnival Triumph is also altering the first half of its Western Caribbean sailing. Its original schedule had it departing New Orleans on September 25, followed by two sea days and a visit to Belize. Now it will spend Sunday at sea, Monday in Key West and Tuesday at sea. Wednesday's and Thursday's calls in Roatan and Cozumel remain intact.
Carnival Inspiration's five-night cruise out of Tampa, departing on September 25, has also been altered. Instead of a sea day followed by visits to Grand Cayman and Cozumel, the ship will now call in Key West on Sunday, remain at sea on Monday and visit Grand Cayman on Tuesday.
Finally, Carnival Elation will swap its five-night Mexico cruise departing Mobile on September 25 for a Bahamas and Florida cruise. Instead of calling Monday and Tuesday in Progreso and Cozumel, the ship will instead visit Freeport and Key West on those days.
Weather Outlook: Next Affected Ships & Ports
Tropical storm warnings and watches are in effect for certain coastal areas of Belize and Honduras; the government of Nicaragua has discontinued a tropical storm warning there. Matthew is expected to bring torrential rains to Central America over the next few days, which may lead to flash floods and mud slides.
Royal Caribbean's Grandeur of the Seas is expected to call in Cozumel on Monday; a spokeswoman tells us today that there are no itinerary changes to date.
Stay tuned.

America's first and only University-based teaching and research center dedicated to exploring the moral foundations of capitalism.
Our Spring 2016 John W. Pope Lecture was given by Alan Charles Kors, co-founder of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education and Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Click for more details.
The Clemson Institute for the Study of Capitalism hosted a talk by George F. Will on November 5. Click for more details.
Drawing inspiration from the Lyceum School founded by Aristotle in Ancient Greece, we have created a philosophically oriented academic program that presents students with ideas that are fundamental, timeless and life-changing.
Every spring, CISC brings students together with distinguished professors, activists and other experts on liberty to study the foundations of a free society. Attendees walk away with a better understanding of what capitalism and morality are and how to effectively fight for them.
The John W. Pope lecture series hosts a free and public talk each semester, focusing on topics in political science and economics. Past speakers include Tyler Cowen, Richard Epstein, Lawrence W. Reed and Alan Charles Kors.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - No. 6 Florida will have quarterback Jeff Driskel back against rival and 10th-ranked Florida State.
Driskel sat out Saturday's 23-0 win over Jacksonville State because of a sprained right ankle. Jacoby Brissett completed 14 of 22 passes for 154 yards.
Driskel was on the sideline without a walking boot, a good sign for Florida (10-1).
Coach Will Muschamp says Driskel worked out Sunday and looked good.
Muschamp declined to say whether Driskel will start against the Seminoles (10-1). He says Driskel "will play in the game. To what degree? Again, the week will determine that on how his health continues to improve."
Driskel missed practice Monday but is expected to be ready Tuesday. He has completed 65 percent of his passes for 1,324 yards, with 10 touchdowns and three interceptions.

I am not too sure but the glass centre part looks to me like Hubbell glass. My best guess is that this brooch was made around the middle of the last century. I liked the design and therefore thought it was a nice addition to my pin collection.
Thank you for looking:)

Hey there, thanks for taking the time to drop by the ol' website. You're in the right place if you're in the market for a high quality; hand built electric or acoustic guitar (6 string, 9 string, tenor & Hawaiian), electric bass, lap steel, or ukulele.

In June of 2000, gamers the world over were introduced to something, that at the time was just a Dreamcast game, but would later be revered as a transition for the medium. Gravitating away from just being simply entertainment, but being appreciated as an art form; Jet Set Radio was that turning point and to this day remains one of the most important games released on any platform–and also the main reason why you should play it.

Mystery: English Dudes Shopping In Sherlock Holmes' Wardrobe?
Bad teeth aside, the idea of English guys is quite romantic. You've got your Hugh Grants (awkward/charming), Colin Firths (will fight a man in a fountain for you and love you "just as you are"), and Jude Laws (OK, not romantic, but is damn hot and is one fantasy lay). Needless to say, the accent and cute attire of button-up shirts and oxfords doesn't hurt either.
While we love Brit style, we're a bit turned off (we think) by the following weirdness: apparently, guys in London are outfitting their wardrobes with Sherlock Holmes-esque duds. Reports Sify.com, "Shopping street Savile Row tailor James Sleater … said that fashionable Brits are desperate to get their hands on calf-length, tailored coats, just like the ones actor Cumberbatch wears on the TV series on 'Sherlock Holmes' … very long coats and even capes are going to be fashionable this winter and when worn with professionally tailored white shirts." Or perhaps that's hot? [Sify]
