Patristic Quote of the Day
For since the law was laboring at this, to make man righteous, but had not power, He came and brought in the way of righteousness by faith, and so established that which the law desired: and what the law could not by letters, this He accomplished by faith. On this account He says, I am not come to destroy the law. - St. John Chrysostom, Homily on Matthew 5

Daniel Tiffany (Professor of English and Comparative Literature, University of Southern California) is the author of six books of poetry and literary theory. He has several new books coming out in 2013, including chapbooks from Capsule Editions and Oystercatcher Press (both in Great Britain), along with full-length books from Johns Hopkins University Press and Omnidawn. His essays have appeared in Critical Inquiry, PMLA, Modernism/Modernity, and Critical Quarterly, his poems in Tin House, Paris Review, Fence and other magazines. In addition, he has published translations of writing from French, Greek and Italian. He was a recipient of the Berlin Prize in 2012 from the American Academy.
Professor Tiffany's talk, "Poetry and Kitsch: A Secret History," is related to his forthcoming book, My Silver Planet, about which he writes: My Silver Planet contends that the seemingly insoluble problem of elite poetry's relation to popular culture bears the indelible stamp of its turbulent incorporation of vernacular poetry--a legacy deformed by nostalgia, contempt, and fraudulence. The study reactivates and fundamentally redefines the moribund concept of kitsch—freeing it from modernist misapprehension and ridicule—by excavating the forgotten history of poetry's relation to kitsch, beginning with the exuberant revival of archaic ballads in Britain in the early eighteenth century. The book further argues that this earliest formulation of what we now call popular culture spawned a controversial but seemingly irresistible preoccupation with poetic imposture in elite society that endures in the ambiguity of the kitsch artifact: is it real or fake, art or kitsch? By exposing and elaborating the historical poetics of kitsch, My Silver Planet transforms our sense of kitsch as a category of material culture.

H.P. 3048: Law Adding Burdensome Regulations on Homeschoolers
Representative Garcia Cab�n
On October 9, 2002, a new homeschooling law was introduced in the House of Representatives of Puerto Rico. It appears that whoever drafted this legislation picked out the worst provisions of the worst homeschool laws in the United States and incorporated them.
We are in contact with several of the key homeschool leaders in Puerto Rico, including attorney Carlos Perez-Sierra and veteran homeschooler Jose Curet. We will coordinate with the leaders in Puerto Rico to mount opposition to this bill. However, one of the keys to defeating H.P. 3048 is to have every homeschool family in Puerto Rico actively working to defeat this bill. Amending the legislation is not acceptable; we must defeat H.P. 3048.
H.P. 3048 has been referred to the Education and Culture Committee for consideration.
HSLDA's Position:
This bill MUST be opposed.
Requested Action:
1. Call the President of the Education & Culture Committee, Jose Javier Garcia Caban at 787-724-4464. Inform Sr. Caban that you are opposed to H.P. 3048 and that homeschoolers do not need to be regulated by the government; they are providing a superior education without regulation.
2. Contact Carlos Irizarry Vizcarrondo, Speaker of the House of Representatives (ex-oficio member of the Education & Culture Committee) at 787-722-0458, providing the same information you provided to Sr. Caban.
3. Look over the list of Representatives below. These are the members of the Education & Culture Committee. If your Representative is listed contact him or her at the telephone provided to voice your opposition to H.P. 3048, as well.
Education & Culture Committee Members:
Colon Gonzalez, Jose Luis - 787-723-6250
Corujo, Sylvia - 787-721-4039
Garcia Caban, Jose Javier - 787-724-4464
Garcia San Inocencio, Victor - 787-725-4942 / 725-4952
Gonzalez Gonzalez, Carmen I. "Ciela" - 787-721-6040
Jimenez Negron, Jose L. - 787-725-1069
Lopez Santos, Pedro - 787-721-6040 / 722-2508
Marrero Vazquez, Felix "Felito" - 787-977-2417
Rivera Guerra, Jose L. - 787-721-7520
Ruiz Morales, Jose F. - 787-723-6100
Torres Cruz, Luis Raul - 787-725-4431
Irizarry Vizcarrondo, Carlos - 787-722-0458
4. Pass this information on to any of your friends and family who are homeschoolers or who may be concerned about family freedom in Puerto Rico. Contact your territorial organization or local
support. Networking with like-minded homeschoolers is crucial at this
5. Pray that God will preserve home education by the defeat of H.P. 3048. Pray for unity among homeschooling leaders and support groups as they work together opposing this bill.
The following is a list of requirements that will be imposed on homeschoolers if H.P. 3048 becomes law:
- Parents must have a college degree OR be supervised by a certified teacher.
- An annual affidavit to apply for home schooling must be submitted 60 days prior to the beginning of school year.
- The annual affidavit will require such as information as: names and ages of the children with their social security numbers, vaccination evidence, and a certification that the teacher and all adults living in the home have not been convicted of breaking a "moral depravation law" within the last five years.
- The curriculum or study plan shall comply with the basic elements in the schools of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico as determined by a five-member board appointed by the governor. The board members must have at least ten years teaching experience.
- Parents will have to maintain a register containing evidence of materials used with educational purposes, writing samples, worksheets, exam grades, uniforms, students' jobs, vaccination record, and a register of days and hours of study.
- Each homeschool schooled student will be evaluated by way of an interview annually by licensed psychologist or teacher certified by the state.
- The homeschool board will decide whether academic progress of the student is "poor" based upon an evaluation by a licensed psychologist or teacher certified by the state of the annual register and test results from the annual examination of the students.
- Each student will have to annually take uniform examinations created, approved, provided, administered and supervised by the board and the department of education.
- The homeschool board, amongst its powers, will employ a teacher or supervisor that will make a home visit to the families four times a year.
- The department of education will have the authority to establish regulations to regulate the home school programs and the date on which the uniform exams will be taken.
- Should the parents not hold a college degree, they must be supervised by a private tutor that must be a certified teacher, or a private school, but the parent must still submit to all of the above requirements as part of the homeschool program requirements. The supervisor must have weekly contact with the homeschool family.

Commentary: Media Mergers: Why Powell Is on the Right Track
By Catherine Yang
The sparks have been flying inside the Federal Communications Commission. In February, Republican Commissioner Kevin J. Martin led a revolt against Chairman Michael K. Powell's telecom deregulation plan. Now, as the FCC heads for a June 2 vote to liberalize rules that restrict the size of media companies, the two are sparring again. This time, in a bit of a role reversal, Powell is seeking a more measured approach, while Martin wants more deregulation.
The FCC must tread carefully. Media mergers involve access to information, a bedrock of democracy. Current rules help keep the media from the control of a few owners. Powell and Martin agree that, in a world of 500-channel satellite TV and the Web, those rules are outdated. What's more, recent court rulings require regulators to take into account the new technologies that now compete for readers' and viewers' attention. Powell's approach, more than Martin's, would leave in place a system that allows for scrutiny of each new media deal.
That's why this time, Powell is on the right track. At stake is a critical aspect of a vibrant press: a multitude of differing voices and opinions. A handful of rules, adopted between 1941 and 1975, prohibit newspaper, radio, and broadcast TV companies from consolidating. Newspapers, for instance, can't merge with local TV stations, and TV networks can't own stations covering more than 35% of the national audience. Now the courts are forcing a thorough overhaul of that old order.
The problem is that new media outlets, many of the most popular of which are controlled by a few big companies, don't always expand the array of news. To strike the right balance, Powell is pushing a new measure called the "diversity index" to determine whether a merger might quash competing perspectives. The index would count the number of local media outlets and weight each by its importance as an original source of news. Martin, on the other hand, wants more predictable cutoffs, such as letting networks buy local TV stations as long as their combined U.S. market share doesn't exceed, say, 50%. Martin would also allow newspapers to merge with local TV stations.
Under Powell's idea, mergers wouldn't be quite so easy. His diversity index would work something like this: If a TV station owner wants to buy a local newspaper, regulators would calculate the combined market share in an attempt to determine whether remaining news outlets could provide strong alternatives. Ideally, experts say, healthy competition exists when a market has at least 10 rivals.
But because not all media wield equal influence, the FCC would weight each outlet by its importance to consumers. According to a September, 2002, Nielsen Media Research Inc. survey commissioned by the FCC, 56% of those polled rely on TV as their main news source, vs. 23% who rely on newspapers.
So if the only newspaper in town wants to merge with one of four local TV stations, the newspaper would provide 23% of the news in that market, according to Nielsen. And if the local station has 25% of the viewers, the FCC would assume a contribution of 14% -- one-fourth of the 56% that TV got overall in the Nielsen survey. By adding the two figures, their combined market clout comes to 37%. Bottom line: Such a deal would be questionable, because most trustbusters look askance at one company dominating more than a third of a market.
Critics are already deriding Powell's index as too complex. But Powell's plan ensures the FCC a role in reviewing every media deal, while Martin's simpler rules give many a pass. The FCC will likely opt for a compromise between the two. And, no doubt, big media deals will continue. "Looking back, we're going to say this is when the media map started to be redrawn," says regulatory analyst Blair Levin of Legg Mason (LM ) Wood Walker Inc.
Even so, a well-crafted diversity index will help fend off bad deals. Without such safeguards, the risk to a thriving and varied press would be too high.
Yang covers the FCC from Washington.

Two north Northumberland middle schools require improvement after Ofsted inspections during last term.
Seahouses Middle School and James Calvert Spence College (JCSC) – South Avenue were awarded the rating – below outstanding and good, but above inadequate – after visits from inspectors in in February.
At Seahouses, the school's rating dropped from good at its previous inspection because 'standards declined in Key Stage 2 in 2013 compared to 2012 particularly in English and mathematics'.
The report continues: 'Girls' performance was particularly weak in each subject. Over time, pupils' achievement has been significantly below average in Key Stage 2.'
It claims that teaching and marking are not consistent nor good enough in many cases, while the governors are said to not have enough information about the school's performance in order to challenge the leadership about the decline in standards.
However, 'leaders are getting to grips with the decline in standards in English and mathematics, particularly at Key Stage 3, and there is evidence that positive change is now happening in Key Stage 2, mostly in writing'.
Plus, behaviour and safety of pupils – one of the four main categories of judgement – was rated as good, with the report referring to pupils being 'keen to learn and show very positive attitudes to their studies'.
JCSC was rated at its last inspection as satisfactory, which has since been renamed as requires improvement.
This is because 'students, including the most able, do not always achieve the expected rate of progress in Key Stage 2 given their starting points' and 'achievement overall requires improvement because students do not always do as well as they should over a sustained period of time'.
As with Seahouses, concerns are also raised about the consistency and quality of both teaching and marking/feedback.
But there are positives, chief among them being that 'leaders and managers, including governors, have a resolute determination to ensure that standards rise quickly', leading to leadership and management – another of the four main categories – being rated as good.
And JCSC 'provides well for students' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development' while there 'some good teaching and examples of outstanding teaching were seen during the inspection in English and art'.

Tis The Season For Sticky Fingers
Tue, 06 Dec 2011 23:16:40 GMT —
Tis the season for shoplifting. According to police retail theft increases during the holiday season. Take a look at this this Youtube video shows a team of plain clothes security officers tackling a suspected shoplifter coming out of a Walmart. Another video shows another suspected shoplifter again being confronted at Walmart. Most shoppers can see why tends to be the season for stealing.
Shopper Jenny McVannel says, " I think so just because people want more during the holidays and people have less so."
Carie Clay agrees saying, " Yes because right not people don't have no money and they figure that's the only way they can get their kids anything or whoever they're buying for."
The soft economy may explain why police say more people are stealing food but loss prevention associates at retail stores are also keeping their eyes on other frequently stolen items.
Dave Hocken, a security guard for a local retailer says, " Electronics, X-box, Playstation, ipads, all of these things."
Stores like Target expect more shoplifters in December so they increase staff and monitor everyone coming and going.
Camera's are mounted everywhere these days. Security officers are monitoring those surveillance systems ready to confront any shoppers that might get sticky fingers this holiday season.
P olice say the number one stolen item this year is filet mignon. The stealing of luxury meat has increased 21 percent since 2009.

Hello and welcome back to another VRay for Cinema 4D tutorial , its been a while since we made kinda of a large scale tutorial , so i thought its the time for it , especially now that we have to a good extent , a stable 3D motion blur within VRay for C4D ( 1.8 ) .
This tutorial is going to be split into three parts and will focus mainly on motion blur with VRayforC4D , will learn the basics of it and how to mange it using our shutter and geometry samples , And then finally will more fun with it creating the well known panning effect using . lets get started
Motion Blur Workflow with VRayforC4D – Part 1
This first part is going to be a short article explaining motion blur basics and how its effected by the shutter speed, and in the next part will recap and see how to actually set it up in c4d and talk about the samples , and finnaly will be showing you how to use motion blur to create something looks cool like a paining shot
Motion Blur ?
Motion blur is mostly seen in moving objects and its something that occurs that can be seen by the human eye and cameras , it can be captured in different ways whither its a video or a still image .
The equivalent of a normal human eye like motion blur ( for a video being shot at 24 frames per second ) is 1/48 of a second or 180 degrees for movie cameras , 1/48 of a second is the time that the shutter spends between each frame of an animated sequence ( video ) and we can use that to control the amount of blur or motion blur that occurs. higher frame rates require higher shutter speeds , so say if you are working with 30fps you should work with a shutter of 1/60 of a second to produce normal looking motion blur .
To keep it simple we are going to focus on the shutter speed rather than the shutter angle which is used for movie cameras because its whats commonly used and its easier to understand in our 3d package , you can always convert the shutter speed number to match the shutter angle on your own and there is fair amount of info for that on the web .
Slower shutter speeds can be also used to create dramatic effects like those seen in panning shots or smooth water falls for example , will get to that in Part 3 .
This is an image by freshphotographer.com showing how changing the shutter speed can greatly effect the amount of motion blur captured in still images . you can see that the fast shutter speed captured a very sharp image of the rotating object .
Motion Blur In Cinema 4D and VRayforC4D
Same rules apply when we are working in a 3D environment of a software such as Cinema 4D no matter what render engine you use , as long as it has a good Motion Blur engine , the motion blur will be effected by the built in shutter speed or angle with the frame rate for animations .
There are few things to consider and the first thing is that you should always consider working with motion blur with the rendered animations rather adding it later in the comp software like after effects using vector passes , that's because motion blur isn't slow to render like the depth of field in 3d and can be produce real camera-like effects
We should also pay attention to our animation wither the animation is objects moving along XYZ or rotating or both at the same time because this will effect how much we can optimize it via the geometry samples in vray .
this is an example of a rotating object to see how the Geometry Samples effects our motion blur . In this render we used a slow shutter speed ( 1/8 ) just to see how the geometry samples parameter works with vray .
We talk more about the optimization of the samples and other things in part 2 so make to sure to watch the video for that
In Part 3 we are going to put what we have learned so far and create a panning shot with motion blur in vray
Final Notes
– Make sure to use the latest VRayforC4D update ( latest service release from the forum )
– and also Always try to bake your animation . VRay motion blur depends on frames mostly for its motion blur and there for baking your animation ( PLA ) could solve some of the strange results with it .

Kelly Bensimon may be done with reality TV, but the 43-year-old Real Housewives of New York City alum is by no means ready to close the door on the idea of having more children.
"I definitely do want to have a baby boy," Bensimon – already mom to daughters Sea Louise, 13, and Thaddeus "Teddy" Ann, 11 – tells AVENUE.
And babies aren't the only thing she's got on her mind!
"I definitely want to get married again," adds the model. "I have always wanted to be married. I've always wanted to be a wife."
For 10 years, Kelly was married to famed fashion photographer Gilles Bensimon. Though their relationship ended in divorce, the Bravolebrity says that the two are still very close…literally.
"He lives down the street from me," Kelly tells the magazine, clarifying that while she doesn't want to be married to her daughters' father again, she does "adore the ground he walks on."
For more of Kelly's interview, check out the December issue of AVENUE when it hits newsstands Monday, December 5.

In September 1999 I attended a "Writing from the Land" workshop sponsored by the Entrada Institute, the first workshop I'd been to in almost 20 years. At the time, I was finishing up my novel The Pictograph Murders and decided to take Levi Peterson's fiction class to help with that process. At one point Levi advised the class, "Write from the other side of your inhibitions." I was doubtful.  What was meant by "inhibitions" in this case? I asked; the question was a class-stopper. Everyone began explaining what inhibitions were. "Behaviors adopted by society which make society possible," "Self-imposed restrictions on one's behavior," etc. Levi himself kept silent. I listened to my classmates' helpful definitions a moment then said to Levi, "I see — unleash the dogs of unresolved anger upon society." Levi came back at me: "Do you have any unresolved anger in you?Â
I laughed. Class members drew their own conclusions: "What does that mean?" "I guess so!" Me, I came away with Levi's admonition to write from the dark side stuck in my head. I'm not an angry person but I wondered: What would happen if I did have unresolved anger? Certainly there have been times when I've felt angry — or frustrated. What had I learned from those times?Â
So as an experiment I tried writing from my villain's POV. I found it surprisingly easy. On top of the texture that writing from his perspective added to the story, I had some real fun. Thus a villain was more fully born. Up till then he'd had no real voice. His function had been restricted to that of a storyline prop.
But besides the fun and narrative intrigue the bad guy's POV provided, something else happened as I wrote from the "other side," something more personal and revelatory. When I started writing the climactic scene, the cave scene, I had a particular outcome in mind. But partway through this scene the conflict between the "good" character and the "bad" character swept me up and I lost control of the writing.  It felt as though the story itself grabbed the steering wheel and took off in a completely different direction. Engaging in what I now see as an archetypal experience where my "bad" side encountered my "good" side, I experienced my "good" character's epiphany and emerged from that cave with my good character, both of us changed women. To put it in religious terms, as I wrote this scene I experienced a mighty change of heart.Â
Writing about evil is an endeavor laced with temptations, but maybe not those we might expect. I never felt tempted to commit any of the crimes that my villain did. No, the flaws I confronted emerged in my "good" character, the one I imagine myself to be nearer to in temperament and experience. Like me, Alex believed she had it all figured out. She knew what evil was, and it lay "out there" — someplace other than in her own soul.
I remember way back when sitting in Jim Faulconer's class while he told about going to see a "Jason" movie with one of his kids. (That's Jason of the hockey goalie mask.) Jim's take on the movie went something like this: The brand of evil Jason represented was so monstrous, so incomprehensible that the dangerous behaviors the teenaged victims engaged in – a little drinking, a little fornicating – looked innocent by comparison. Jim suggested that this might be one of Jason's purposes — to provide a distracting reason not to look too closely at our own behavior: "Huh! So that's evil! Gee, I'm not half bad." In the arts, such philosophical sleights of mind conjour up flamboyant, even outrageous scapegoats — scapegoats we have no problem driving off into thematic wildernesses or, better yet, blasting with high-powered explosives, shooting several times with gigantic weapons until they stop moving, running over with semi trucks, pushing off cliffs into raging rivers, setting on fire, etc.  Once we have destroyed the incomprehensible, then — whew! — the danger is over and everybody can get back to the party.
So I'm thinking that maybe the greatest temptation in writing about evil isn't that we writers will be lured into recreating those awful crimes our characters commit but instead that we might fall to manipulating our narratives, locating evil "out there," "not me" — in the opposite direction from where holy scriptures and other genuine stories direct our gaze. Some tales about evil might actually enable readers to avoid personal responsibility. Some storylines might actually be little more than rationalizations of the writer's unwillingness to engage in self-examination. Some narratives about defending good might actually be elaborate schemes to avoid encountering God.Â
I don't remember how my original plan for that cave scene went, the new version so thoroughly became the version. But I regard that part of the book the same way someone else might look at a room where he or she wrestled with a personal demon, or a stretch of road where he or she had an adventure that sifted his or her soul. When I revisit that stretch of narrative, I feel a thrill in my soul. The sensation resembles the rush my eyes feel when I emerge from a dark interior into the light of day. I think (I really do), "As much as any of the pilgrimages I've made, as deeply as any of the surprising conversations I've experienced, as dramatically as any challenge I've faced, this place changed my life."Â

Scolari aims to lead Brazil at 2014 World Cup
Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has revealed he would relish managing Brazil at the 2014 World Cup, should his native country win the right to host the event.
Brazil are firm favourites to be awarded football's showpiece event in eight years time, with Colombia the only other country to have submitted a bid.
Yesterday, Scolari announced his intention to quit as Portugal manager after Euro 2008 and he has followed that up by telling the Lance! newspaper: 'I lived that (coaching a home nation) in the Euro 2004 tournament played in Portugal.
'All coaches in this situation would like to coach his national team in that moment. I don't know if it would be me, as I don't have any long-term projects as yet, but we will see.'
Scolari, 58, who turned down the chance to become England manager this summer, also claimed he had been offered the Brazil job by Brazilian Football Confederation president Ricardo Teixeira before Dunga was appointed earlier this year.
'(After the 2006 World Cup), the president (Teixeira) called me to see if there was a possibility to return to the national team,' said Scolari, who led Brazil to glory at the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan.
'I discussed it with my family and they advised me it was not the right time to return.
'My wife was of the opinion that staying in Europe with the children for a further two years would be important and I agreed. So then they appointed Dunga.'

If you watched 60 Minutes the other night you would have seen a fascinating story titled "Sex Matters: Drugs Can Affect Sexes Differently." Lesley Stahl challenged the FDA on its traditional policy of treating men and women the same when it comes to doses of medication.
The primary example was the sleeping pill Ambien (zolpidem). When the drug was reviewed by the FDA over 20 years ago during the approval process, a reviewer at the agency noted, "The results suggest a gender-related difference." In fact, women were in general more susceptible to the drug than men. Their blood levels were 45% higher than those of their male counterparts. That means they were getting more of the medicine and in many cases receiving an overdose.
Although Ambien was approved by the FDA in 1992, it wasn't until Jan 10, 2013, that the agency announced that women should avoid the standard 10 mg dose and instead switch to half as much, or 5 mg of the active ingredient zolpidem. The fear was that higher blood levels would persist longer in the body, leading to a morning hangover effect, slower reaction times and potential traffic accidents among women who had to drive the morning after taking Ambien.
There is also a slow-release 12.5 mg formulation of Ambien. The FDA cautioned women to switch to the 6.25 mg formula.
When you view the 60 minutes interview, you will see tough questions from Leslie Stahl. For example, what took the FDA so long to recognize there was a problem if the agency knew about the gender difference back in 1992? The answer was basically that the FDA didn't believe gender differences really mattered clinically. Dr. Sandra Kweder of the FDA said…"this was sort of business as usual for what you saw in clinical pharmacology studies." In other words, if the FDA even noted a difference between men and women, it was disregarded.
To date, the only medication for which the FDA has made a clear distinction between dosing for men and women is Ambien. Now that the FDA has acknowledged that there can be significant differences in dosing requirements for men and women, the agency is on the horns of a giant dilemma. Here is an interchange between 60 Minute's Leslie Stahl and the FDA's Sandra Kweder, MD:
"Lesley Stahl: There are scientists who say the Ambien situation is like a wakeup call. It's a tip of the iceberg. So, should the FDA go back and look at other drugs?
Dr. Sandra Kweder: Well, you know, to say every drug– every drug, go back and look again?
Lesley Stahl: Yeah.
Dr. Sandra Kweder: That's an enormous undertaking.
Lesley Stahl: So can women feel secure that the dosages recommended on any of their medications is proper for them? Or should they now be a little worried?
Dr. Sandra Kweder: In medical practice, there is a general awareness that there may be individual differences among patients. And that every patient needs to have the right dose.
Lesley Stahl: How's a doctor supposed to know?
Dr. Sandra Kweder: You start at the lowest dose, and you see if it's enough.
Lesley Stahl: Yeah, but you're doing the studies. And they're gonna rely on your recommendation.
Dr. Sandra Kweder: Yup.
Lesley Stahl: It sounds like the FDA is being more reactive than aggressive about this.
Dr. Sandra Kweder: I think we're being very aggressive about bringing the most sophisticated science to new drugs and being aggressive about applying the science where we have reason to believe there is a concern to older drugs.
Lesley Stahl: The FDA told us it is looking at other sleep drugs for possible sex differences, but not mounting an across the board review. As of today, zolpidem remains the only drug on the market with different recommended doses for men and women."
What this means is that there are hundreds, perhaps thousands of medications that have never been studied for sex differences. Doctors are flying blind when they prescribe a medication to a woman, since many of the clinical trials relied primarily on young healthy men for data. Starting with "the lowest dose" may not be helpful if there is only one dose or if the FDA's dosing recommendations are tailored to men.
What's a Woman to Do?
Always ask the prescribing physician about personalized dosing recommendations that might be more appropriate for women than men. Mention the 60 Minutes segment and the Ambien example.
Pay attention to your body. If you think you are getting an overdose and experiencing symptoms, bring it to the doctor's attention immediately.
Report your own experience below in the comment section so other women can read about your story. If more women share stories, health professionals (and the FDA) may take notice.

Here are a few stories about Ambien to give you an example of what we are talking about:
"I had bad effects from Ambien. I stayed groggy almost all day, and found that I was quite depressed. It was very difficult withdrawing from the medication, but I decided that being tired was better than being so groggy. I often stay awake for hours, and get up and read, play solitaire, or just daydream. Ambien was not a good drug for me."
"Ambien is one of the scariest drugs on the market. I say this, after seeing two people very close to me do crazy things while on the drug and then go back to sleep and not remember anything that they did.
"My mother found herself in her nightgown, standing in a line at a Subway, ordering a sub and not knowing how she got there. My friend's daughter woke up, went into the garage and got in the family car, and backed out without opening the garage door. After knocking the garage door off of its tracks, she got out of the car, went back to bed and doesn't remember a thing.
"Truly a scary drug because of the ease at which a doctor will prescribe it because it is non-habit forming and telling their patients that it is relatively safe."
"I've been taking Ambien every night for around nine years. I take one half of a 5mg pill at bedtime. It seems to calm a mild anxiety I've had for years and I sleep for 2 hours, usually, when I get up to go to the bathroom. Often I will take the second half pill then, or depending on how sleepy I feel, many nights I don't take the second half. Together, they usually give me 7-8 hours sleep, which works for me.
"When I was prescribed the extended release version and took one dose, I had the only hallucination I've ever experienced. I threw that batch away without taking a second dose."
"I briefly took Ambien for insomnia. I began noticing that I could not remember students' names. (These were children I had taught for several years!) The final straw was when I woke up and realized I had driven my car to a local store and purchased items. I was getting ready to go to the store to buy these items and found they had already been purchased by me in an Ambien blackout.
"No more Ambien for me! Has anyone else started to forget words for common items or names of people they know? My memory came back completely once I threw the remaining pills out."
"I've taken Ambien for five years. I only take 5 mg and sometimes split them in two. No problems. Just peaceful sleep."
Many women have commented that 10 mg works fine for them and produces no noticeable side effects or morning hangover. Others, like Pauline, find that 5 mg does the trick. This reinforces our belief that everyone is different and may require tailored dosing to fit individual metabolism.

Funky footwear!
Trend-setting preteen Willow Smith towered in her red, white and blue platform sneakers while out on a shopping spree with her mom Jada Pinkett Smith in Paris, France on the weekend (May 12). What do you think of her sky-high shoes?
Not to be outdone by her 11-year-old daughter, Jada also looked super stylish in her cropped yellow pants and emerald green blouse.
Despite her budding singing career, Willow, whose dad is actor Will Smith, recently revealed that she wishes she had a more "regular" life: "If I had to change one thing about my life, it would probably be, I wouldn't be famous," she said. "Because when you're famous it's so hard. Let's say if a regular girl is going to the book store, it's ten times harder to go everywhere [when you're famous]."

Best smelling of the self-tannersMy face tends to be lighter than the rest of my body (probably from exfoliating) so I use this to kind of "match" up and it's really fantastic. Most self-tanners stain my hands or smell strange, but this one is really light and smells fine. It tends to make my face a little bit shiny, but that's okay in the summertime.

I live in Florida, the capital of tan USA and this gives me just enough color so that I can go to the beach and not be afraid of tourist white legs, lol!

I Don't UnderstandI cannot understand why people buy this product. The chemical smell is unbearable and the color is so unnatural, unless you're an olive skin tone, in which case, I don't understand why you're fake baking anyway. The other thing that makes this product unusable is the way it fades. It's not very moisturizing and it fades very flaky and unevenly leaving you feeling like a leper. — 3 years, 3 months agoMeagan.h.beautyfanatic | 81 reviews
In betweenThis is my "go-to" tanner for my in between sessions at the tanning bed, or after using a lot of my main self-tanner. I use my Victoria's secret tanner more often, because it is stronger on color, and faster. But in between sessions, I like to use something more mild, and gradual, This one is perfect.

Good BuySomeone recommended this to me, as I was looking for a way to get my summer tan to last a little longer into the fall. I have to say, the Jergens Natural Glow did the trick.

One thing about the pursuers of power: They're always watching for the person who's one notch higher in the chain of command. Which may explain why the Hollywood elite is so hot on spirituality. After all, nobody gets a better table than the Supreme Being.
But, like everyone else on the A list, you've got to go through the Supreme Secretary, which is why the following motivational speakers and self-described prophets (ranked in order of spiritual influence) are blazing their own paths to power.
1. The Dalai Lama Buddhism is hot. Its list of followers spans the media universe, the Zen centers are packed, and — with a circulation of 40,000 — the Buddhist magazine Tricycle is nirvana-bound. So Buddhist leader the Dalai Lama ; can count on an invitation to any Hollywood gala. * Fans: Richard Gere, Tina Turner, Courtney Love, Beastie Boy Adam Yauch, Oliver Stone.
2. Deepak Chopra In the youth-obsessed salons of Hollywood, Ageless Body, Timeless Mind's author is a natural superstar. Based on the Indian folk medicine ayurveda, Chopra's "forever" formula of herbs, meditation, music, and massage beats the long knives of surgery. * Fans: George Harrison, David Lynch.
3. Marianne Williamson The New Age speaker, AIDS activist, and best-selling author of A Return to Love maintains her rep as "God's woman in Hollywood" by presiding at such chichi events as Liz Taylor's wedding. * Fans: Oprah Winfrey, David Geffen.
4. Tony Robbins His Steinway smile has made him emperor of the infomercials. The motivational millionaire inflames his rah-rah rhetoric with fire-walking seminars, books (Awaken the Giant Within), and videos (Personal Power!). * Fans: Peter Guber, Martin Sheen.
5. L. Ron Hubbard The late Hubbard's controversial Scientology movement — a system of flushing out painful experiences called engrams — inspires fierce loyalty in many major stars. * Fans: Tom Cruise, Kirstie Alley, John Travolta, Juliette Lewis, Nicole Kidman, Anne Archer, Mimi Rogers, Lisa Marie Presley.
6. Mother Meera A 33-year-old Indian living in Germany, Meera draws seekers who travel hundreds of miles to bask in her silence. Her peace-giving creed? Let it be. * Fans: Madonna, whose new single, "Secret," was reportedly inspired by Meera's spiritual mien.
7. Ram Dass Known for mixing Eastern and Western philosophies with a stress on public service, Be Here Now's author is often seen as a hippie anachronism. But Ram Dass keeps contacts in the music biz through Social Venture Network, a PC better-business group with ties to labels such as Elektra and Rhino. * Fans: Danny Goldberg, the Grateful Dead.
8. Bikram Choudhury Proudly known as "yogi to the stars," he's spent 20 years beckoning celebs to his Beverly Hills gym, where he cranks the heaters full blast, turning the studio into a sauna, and forces students to stay in painful positions for hours. * Fans: Jerry Seinfeld, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
9. Terence McKenna A Timothy Leary for the '90s, he zealously advocates hallucinogenic mushrooms and has set his lectures to music at primordial, all-night raves. * Fans: Tom Robbins dedicated his latest novel to McKenna.

Scuttle is a supporting protagonist in the Disney animated movie, The Little Mermaid. He is a seagull, and is very good friends with Ariel and Flounder. As he is able to go onto land, he is able to tell Ariel about human objects. Scuttle can be very dimwitted and goofy. For instance, his identifications of the human objects are nonsense, such as wrongly claiming the name of a fork a is a "dinglehopper" and says that it is used as a comb, and a smoking pipe is really a "snarfblatt" while claiming it works like a trumpet. Also, when Ariel first turned human, Scuttle was not able to tell what was different about her.
Scuttle was voiced by Buddy Hackett.

The Bisons had six hits, Kawasaki had two. Pillar and Gose had a hit each.
Binghamton 9 New Hampshire 1
Austin Bibbens-Dirkx pulled a Dickey, he gave up a two run and a three run home run in six innings. Randy Boone gave up the other 4.

A London Marathon runner whose death touched hearts globally and inspired more than $1 million in donations had taken a dietary supplement which may have contributed to her heart failure, a coroner ruled on Wednesday.
Claire Squires collapsed near Buckingham Palace last April near the end of the marathon, which she was running to raise money for an organization that helps prevent suicides.
According to an inquest at Southwark Coroner's Court, the 30-year-old runner's water bottle included a scoop of the supplement Jack3D, which contains a stimulant called DMAA or dimethylamylamine.
DMAA is on the list of substances prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency, but Jack3D was legally available to buy in Britain before being banned in August due to potential risks to public safety.
"DMAA ... on the balance of probabilities, in combination with extreme physical exertion, caused acute cardiac failure, which resulted in her death," coroner Philip Barlow said.
The substance was bought legally online by Squires, but the coroner said he hopes the case highlights the potential dangers of DMAA, which increases the heart rate.
Marathon organizers are assessing changes to the advice given to recreational runners about the use of supplements.
"The substance is on the (WADA) banned list, but the only athletes to be tested would be elite athletes," London Marathon spokeswoman Nicola Okey told The Associated Press. "We just ask the rest of the runners to be medically fit. We don't make any other inquiries about what substances they are taking.
"We will be amending our medical advice following the inquest's verdict. We obviously give medical advice, but it hasn't mentioned before the use of supplements."
Squires' boyfriend, Simon van Herrewege, said he didn't know of the dangers of consuming Jack3D and wants awareness raised.
"She innocently took a supplement which at the time was entirely legal and widely available on the high street and somewhat worryingly apparently used by so many others," he said. "It is clear that there needs to be far better supervision of the so-called health foods and supplements industry so that no more tragedies like this happen again, causing other families to have to go through what we have been through this past year."
Britain's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency in August ruled that Jack3D must "be removed from the UK market amid concerns of potential risks to public safety," highlighting that people are suspected to have had shortness of breath and heart attacks after using it.
But Jack3D's manufacturer, Ultra-Premium Supplements, on Wednesday defended the safety of its product.
"USPlabs sympathizes with the family of Ms. Squires for their tragic loss," the Dallas-based company said in a statement emailed by London publicists. "We continue to stand by the safety of the dietary ingredient 1, 3 DMAA. The ingredient has been the subject of seven clinical trials supporting its safety when used as directed. These studies place 1,3 DMAA among the most studied dietary ingredients on the market."

Teams usually have to recruit undrafted free agents in order to get them to sign. In the case of Vontaze Burfict, it seemed like the former Arizona State linebacker was the one pursuing the Cincinnati Bengals.
Burfict, a one-time first-round prospect whose stock plummeted due to poor offseason workouts and increased concern about his off-the-field issues, sought out Marvin Lewis after his pro day, according to the Bengals head coach. Burfict's persistence -- as well as investigative skills -- made an impression on Lewis.
"It was just the fact he took the opportunity to find my phone number because I don't know that I gave it to him," Lewis told the Cincinnati Enquirer. "To call me, to write me a letter, to do some other things. He got my phone number and called me and said, 'I hope I get an opportunity.' I said, 'I hope you do, too.'"
The Bengals signed Burfict after he went undrafted and plan to use him at middle linebacker. The team also plans to give him a fresh start.
"I struck a chord with him and maybe that's what he needs," Lewis told the Enquirer. "He's got a lot of story. I don't have to believe any of it. It doesn't matter one way or another to me now. What he does now from this point forward is going to determine whether or not he can be a NFL player. I think he has some ability. When you watch the tape there are a lot of things he didn't do very well. But he does some things I can't coach that he can do.
Lewis added, "We will continue to get him in shape. He's a better conditioned athlete now than he was at the combine and at ASU in March. If he continues to go down that path, he seems bright enough to learn. He seems willing to want change this image people have of him."
This is a good move for the Bengals because it's a low-risk one. They didn't invest a draft pick or a big signing bonus in him. The upside is he can become the top backup this year -- and perhaps start if Rey Maualuga is suspended under the league's personal conduct policy -- and make an immediate impact on special teams.
The first step for Burfict begins this weekend, when the Bengals have their rookie minicamp.

In the worst-case scenario that Michael Clarke broke down on the eve of next year's World Cup, Australia's hopes wouldn't be shot according to his deputy George Bailey.
Clarke's chronic back problem ruled him out of the 2013 Champions Trophy and has contributed to the hamstring injury which so far has him out of the one-day tri-series in Zimbabwe.
Managing the skipper's fitness at 33 years of age remains a concern with a packed schedule ahead.
However, taking over the reins of the Australian side at the drop of a hat has become almost second nature for the calm and collected Bailey over the past couple of years.
To say he was thrown in the deep end during the Champions Trophy would be putting it mildly.
With Clarke forced away from camp to receive treatment, Bailey was left to deal with the fallout from David Warner's bar room dust-up with England rival Joe Root and rising tensions between Shane Watson and doomed coach Mickey Arthur.
Bailey handled matters professionally and learnt "plenty" from that crash course in crisis management, but he isn't willing to divulge much more than that at this stage.
Clarke is a paramount reason why Australia are the No.1 team in ODIs and No.2 in Tests.
But Bailey feels comfortable leading the side in Clarke's absence, and says most importantly the Australian team believe they can still win should injury strike down their skipper.
"I think it's important for our cricket because there was a period there - perhaps not so much in one-day cricket - where we were relying really heavily on his batting," Bailey said.
"So any time we can perform really well as a group without him in the team I think bodes well because we know how strong we're going to be when he does get right and he comes back in.
"That's a real positive for us.
"It's not too much of a stretch (for me) at the moment because everyone is pretty clear on their roles.
"When Pup goes out it becomes a collective group (effort)."

The featured designers come from more than twenty-five countries and include such celebrated names as Marian Bantjes, Neville Brody, Sonya Dyakova, Louise Fili, Ruben Fontana, Milton Glaser, Henrik Kubel, Niklaus Troxler, Underware, Sharon Werner, and Bai Zhiqei.
Emigre was honored to collaborate on this project and was assigned to design a page using the number 38. While looking for a design angle, it suddenly occurred to us that the TDC was founded in 1946 and that they celebrated their 38th anniversary in 1984. What a coincidence! Nobody realized it then, but that year type would be revolutionized, and we started Emigre.
Congratulations TDC!

If you're in Kuala Lumpur and planning to visit Tugu Negara, make a quick stop at the ASEAN Sculpture Garden.
Located in the gardens about 100 metres before you enter Tugu Negara or the National Monument, the landscape features the work of some of Southeast Asia's most respected sculptors. While the garden on its own may not be worth going out of your way for, it's worth a walk through if you're in the area and it's an interesting collection if you know what you're looking at.
The gardens are home to six sculptures made of glass, steel, bamboo and marble created by award-winning local artists of the six founding Association of Southeast Asian Nations, namely Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia and Brunei. It was officially opened in 1987 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of ASEAN, while also representing unity and co-operation among member states.
"Growth" was the name chosen for the 20 slabs arranged in a tumpal, or shape pointing upwards; the sculpture symbolising the dynamic growth of the ASEAN region in its first 20 years was designed by Malaysian artist Syed Jamal. The six small sculptures positioned in a circle was made using Malaysian marble by Singaporean sculptor Han Sai Por to symbolise the growth, unity, peace and harmony of the region. Look out for the contribution from the Philippines, entitled "Barong-Barong," a modern representation of what Filipinos call a makeshift shack, made of salvaged materials. The remaining works are entitled "The Gate of Harmony," "Progress (Thailand)" and "The ASEAN Dance (Brunei)."
While public art allows the general visitor to experience and reflect on its form and meaning, it does help to have information on the sculptor and the title of the artwork at the very least. Regretfully, the garden lacks this almost in entirety — just a few signs have a small amount of information, with little on the background of the garden. It's no surprise then that most tourists walk straight past the sculptures when visiting Tugu Negara. While the grounds are well maintained, the structures themselves seem in need of some restoration and upkeep, which is a pity because it could be a pretty relaxing area to unwind and acknowledge the success of the region in (mostly) pulling together over the last few decades.
If you'd like to take a stroll and muse at the motivation of the artists, walk from Masjid Jamek or Pasar Seni LRT Station, which are both roughly 15 minutes away. Alternatively, take the Komuter train to the Kuala Lumpur station 12 minutes' away by foot, or hop in a cab for the remaining journey.

UK Property Law
Get UK Property Law Questions Answered by Experts
I would like to know if I am legally required to replace the two bedroom (both?) windows upstairs with fire exit windows and if I do indeed need fans and automatic doors in a bathroom so it doesn't spoil food in the kitchen next door. The house is mid terrace, over 100yrs old, in good condition, been rented out for about 5 years with two bedrooms to two people (hence not HMO). Building regs all seem to apply to new builds. Could you specify what exactly you need more info on please as I seem to be repeating myself. Thanks.
No, the council came round inspecting the place to make sure it wasn't an HMO and raised it to me afterwards. Gave me a three month deadline to get it sorted.
Unless these are replacement windows, installedafter 1 April 2002, they do not have to be opening.
The same applies to the bathroom, it does nothave to have ventilation unless it was recently upgraded (within the last 10years).
If it's a house in multiple occupation, thesituation is different and the local authority can dictate.
This appears not to be the case.
I think what the local authority have done withyou is dressed up what are actually "advisory" matters, as mandatory matters.
My suggestion would be to write back to theCouncil and asked them to point out which section of which act or whichregulation you are needed to comply with in order to do this work. You want tocheck the regulation to make sure that it is done satisfactorily!
I would see what they come back with before I doanything because based upon the facts that you have given me, you are under noobligation to do this work.
However I will tell you that as he does now beenbrought to your attention, if you do not change the windows, and someone getsinjured or killed in a fire you could face jail for criminal negligence.
In a slightly different way, with the ventilationand the lack of, if this leads to the formation of any kind of mould or fungusand anyone has asthma or breathing difficulties or any other problems as aresult, you can now be held negligent once again, because the issue has beenraised with you and you have chosen to ignore it.
Choice therefore is yours as to whether youignore this or do the work.
Remember, I can only answer based upon the factsyou give me.
Does that answer the question? Can I assistfurther or answer any specific queries?
If you have not done already, please don't forget to positivelyrate my answer service even if it was not what you wanted to hear. You shouldnow see a series of buttons which enable you to rate my answer serviceformally.If you don't rate it positively, then the site keep your deposit and I get 0for my time. It is imperative that you give my answer a positive rating. It doesn't give me, "a pat on the head", "good boy" (like ebay), it is mylivelihood!If in ratings you feel that you expected more or it only helped a little,please ask.
The thread does remain open for me to answer follow-up questionsafter rating my answer service.Rating doesn't close the enquiry atall even though the site may give that impression. It remains open for you toread and ask for further clarification.Regards.
PS Experts on here are online and off-line all day each day andweekends so please bear with me if I do not get back to you immediately.
PS. I use voice type, voice recognition typing because I onlytype with two fingers and it would take me ages. Sometimes, a computer does nothear me correctly and you will get an incoherent word. I do try to butsometimes they slip through. I apologise therefore if anything doesn't makesense. It is me losing it, not you. Just ask if anything is not clear please.
Thanks a lot for your advice, the bathroom won't be a source of mould etc as it does actually have a window that opens. I think a fire exit upstairs is a reasonable idea but not to the specifications the council ask for...
Thanks again, helps me proceed and see more sense in the issue.

National parks around the Great Lakes are showing early and damaging signs of climate change, according to a new report from two environmental groups.
The report, which details more frequent severe weather, less ice cover, and stressed wildlife at parks such as the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, is by the Natural Resources Defence Council and the Rocky Mountain Climate Organization and part of a series on parks around the country.
Extreme weather events are increasing in frequency, said Stephen Saunders, a former National Park Service administrator co-authored the report.
Early signs of climate change are visible in national parks because they're among the most ecologically fragile places, he said.
"We've already had wind speeds go up over the lakes, we've had water temperatures go up, we have more heat waves, we have more downpours producing heavier quantities of water falling out and more flooding."
The report says warmer temperatures contribute to lower lake levels, the spread of invasive species and pathogens, and declining numbers of moose and wolves on Isle Royale. The tick that causes Lyme Disease was found on Isle Royale for the first time last year.
That worries the mayor of nearby Bayfield Wisconsin, Larry MacDonald, who wants the government to act to reduce the threat of climate change.
"Temperature increases are a negative to us — less ice is a negative, lower water levels are a negative, reduction of wildlife and birdwatching are problematic for us," MacDonald. "We truly face the financial reality that climate change may bring tremendous economic challenge.

The Tree House Song
Another really simple song with just four chords in it.
The entire song was written without intending to have a verse, chorus, verse structure.
(Which is just my excuse for being crap at the guitar)
This is also made up of the four most popular chords in the world and in the same order
as almost every other popular song you know. There is a formula to making music and this
is it!
C (3rd), Fm (1st), Am (5th) and Gm (3rd)
In between these chords at certain points in the song I play this:
C Fm Am Gm
