Back to Dressing up, Dressing down
Nightcaps were worn by men from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, not simply for night attire, but for informal, domestic day and evening wear, specifically after the 1660s, to cover the head after removing the wig. Usually made of linen, and often lavishly embroidered with coloured silks and metal threads, they were made as close-fitting dome-shaped caps in the seventeenth century. In the eighteenth century they became looser, more like a turban, and were frequently worn with the nightgown or banyan, again, not for bed but for informal relaxing about the house, or even for entertaining family and friends.
The yellow nightcap in the main image dates from around 1700, and is entirely covered with floral embroidery on a split-stitch yellow silk ground, with blue silk ties and trim. The black and white print below shows an eighteenth century man sitting at ease in a similar cap, having taken off his heavy hot wig. The other embroidered cap below is more dome-shaped and dates from the early seventeenth century. It is highly decorated with silk and silver thread embroidery and stitched with popular classical motifs like the phoenix and the obelisk surrounded by a scrolling leaf and flower design. Blackwork caps were also common, as were white linen ones, quilted for warmth, or trimmed with expensive bobbin or needlelaces.

Any references, links, or anything you can offer about your own homeschooling methods.
We're at a point that we have to pull DD out of pre-school/daycare for financial reasons. It's tearing me up inside to have to do this. So I am wondering if there are any resources out there for pre-schoolers? My DH will be teaching her, so I want to be able to prep things at the beginning of the week or at night for the next day, just to give him focus.
I also intend on signing her up for dance and maybe some other program to interact with other kids.
This is so hard on me, I can't even start to explain how sad I am about it. I'm just trying to look on the bright side and see what tools I can provide to my DH so DD does not get bored.

The widespread success of cloud computing is driving the DevOps revolution in enterprise IT. Now as never before, development teams must communicate and collaborate in a dynamic, 24/7/365 environment. There is no time to wait for long development cycles that produce software that is obsolete at launch. DevOps may be disruptive, but it is essential. The DevOps Summit at Cloud Expo--to be held November 4-6 at the Santa Clara Convention Center in the heart of Silicon Valley--will expand the DevOps community, enable a wide sharing of knowledge, and educate delegates and technology providers alike. Recent research has shown that DevOps dramatically reduces development time, the amount of enterprise IT professionals put out fires, and support time generally. Time spent on infrastructure development is significantly increased, and DevOps practitioners report more software releases and higher quality.

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp. When working with time series data there are a few core principles that everyone should consider, especially across datasets where time is the common boundary. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Scott, Director of Enterprise Strategy & Architecture at MapR Technologies, will discuss single-value, geo-spatial, and log time series data. By focusing on enterprise applications and the data center, he will use OpenTSDB as an example to explain some of these concepts including when to use different storage models.

You use an agile process; your goal is to make your organization more agile. But what about your data infrastructure? The truth is, today's databases are anything but agile – they are effectively static repositories that are cumbersome to work with, difficult to change, and cannot keep pace with application demands. Performance suffers as a result, and it takes far longer than it should to deliver new features and capabilities needed to make your organization competitive. As your application and business needs change, data repositories and structures get outmoded rapidly, resulting in increased work for application developers and slow performance for end users. Further, as data sizes grow into the "Big Data" realm, this problem is exacerbated and becomes even more difficult to address. A seemingly simple schema change can take hours (or more) to perform, and as requirements evolve, the disconnect between existing data structures and actual needs diverge.

Despite the fact that majority of developers firmly believe that "it worked on my laptop" is a poor excuse for production failures, most don't truly understand why it is virtually impossible to make your development environment representative of production. When asked, the primary reason for the production/development difference everyone mentions is technology stack spec/configuration differences. While it's true, thanks to the black magic of Cloud (capitalization intended) with a bit of wizardry from Chef, anyone can create a pretty reliable replica of the production environment on demand. The actual main issue with reliable production mirroring is complex, but can be described in one word – data.

Comments On Jul 07, 2014:I purchased these to replace my worn out front tires. They mounted easily and after 3 full 8 hour days of very tough cross country riding consisting of Rocks, Roots, Ruts, Hill Climbs, and Hard Pack, I feel that these have performed very well and have stood up to very tough abuse. I would recommend these as a low cost option for tire replacment.

Comments On Oct 16, 2013:Sold these tires to a couple of people wanting cheaper replacement tires. These work great on Honda Rubicon's!!! However I would not recommend on a side by side if you ride in a lot of rocks. They are wearing great, get good traction all around and seem to hold up against thorns pretty well. They just don't seem to hold up as well w/ the extra weight. Sold some to guys w/ RZR's and had some sidewalls fail against the rocks. Guess that is why they are almost 1/2 of a "Big Horn"- No complaints on a 4-wheeler though :)

Two suspects entered the hotel through the front door. At least one of the men was armed with a gun. He hit the desk clerk in the mouth with the gun and fired the weapon just inches away from her head. The bullet struck a copy machine. The suspect demanded she open the safe. The second suspect grabbed the clerk's purse while she opened the safe. Surveillance video shows that both suspects are black and about six feet tall. Both had an article of clothing covering their faces.VIDEO: Click on the video player above to watch the surveillance footage in a report from Fox 2's Ron SavageIf you know anything about this crime call the Lincoln Park Police Department at (313) 381-1800.

Warm-and-Cozy Dessert Recipes
Ginger-Cinnamon Apple Crisp [1]
"This is a twist on a popular dish and is one of my personal favorites," says April Osburn from the Clabber Girl Bake Shop in Terre Haute, Indiana. Thinly slice the apples so they soften in the allotted baking time.
Caramel Pecan Skillet Brownie [5]
Caramel in the bottom of the pan melds with the brownie, creating a dessert so rich and gooey that you need a spoon to serve it. Because cast iron holds heat, the brownie will still be warm when you go back for seconds.
Never-Fail Rice Pudding [9]
The recipe for this warm, comforting dessert, one of the winners in a Midwest Living® recipe contest, comes from a Brookfield, Missouri, reader. Serve with raisins, dried cherries or dried cranberries for extra flavor and color.
Chocolate-Caramel Fondue [13]
Just three ingredients go into this quick dessert: sweetened condensed milk, caramel ice cream topping and chocolate. Vary your dippers to match the mood of your party.

Gian-Tony's on the Hill in St. Louis shared this classic Italian dessert recipe with us. Our Test Kitchen decided the liqueurs could be omitted if necessary, but we like the flavor they add. You could also use just one flavor of liqueur in place of the others.

Gingersnap Gems [106]
Single-Serving Caramel Apples [109]
Joan Wagner of Overland Park, Kansas, considers this baked apple dish her easy-entertaining recipe. "You can make these up to six hours ahead and cover them with plastic wrap, so the puff pastry doesn't dry out," she says. "The desserts bake while your coffee is brewing."
Mom's Oatmeal Pie [113]

Edy, when I tried to add you to the FW group at Facebook, it said you were already a member. When you first log in to Facebook (on your home page, not your wall/timeline page), there should be a list of groups on the left side and FW should be on it. If it doesn't show, point your mouse to the word groups, then the word more should show up to the right of it. If you click on that, it will give you a complete list of the groups you're in.
Mariane, having your computer crash shouldn't have affected your group status at Facebook. I did check, though, and you weren't a member. I tried to add you and got this message. "You can't add an old member of the group who hasn't requested to join the group again." So I think you'll have to ask Deb about this.
We never did Thanksgiving in my family (since it was just another day of deer hunting), and as I've mentioned, I don't like this time of year (to put it mildly), but I do have one tradition, and that's to watch this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzirJuLVOFA

She usually spends her time doting over dozens of grandchildren, but a 72-year-old Lawrence County woman recently found herself with a gun in her hand, watching over two men who police believe were about to commit an armed robbery.
Flora Armstreet doesn't want people to think she's some kind of gun-toting granny who's itching for a confrontation with desperados. To the contrary, this grandma thought someone was in real danger when a strange car was parked near her business Sunday night.
By day, Armstreet is the mild-mannered owner of a flea market in Summertown off Highway 43 North.
But at about 9 p.m. Sunday, a neighbor called and told her a suspicious car was parked behind her business.
"They say they broke down on the road," Armstreet said.
When she found them, the two men - Travis G. Carter, 21, of Spring Hill, and Freddie Currie II, 21, of Columbia - didn't seem to be broken down at all. They were parked with a clear view of the Dollar General store next door.
The 72-year-old peeped at the men from her back door, then called police. It seemed the men were up to no good, so Armstreet grabbed her .22, and - standing just inside of her back door - she warned them to stay put.
"He was saying, 'Ma'am, ma'am.' I said, 'Back up. Back up. You're looking at the business end of a gun,'" Armstreet said.
The woman's flea market sits near the Maury County line, and in recent months there have been numerous armed robberies of Dollar General stores in Maury County.
Police are still investigating whether or not there's a connection between these suspects and any other armed robberies, but at one point, this grandmother was afraid her standoff could turn dangerous when one of the men started moving toward her.
"I said, 'Do not take another step,' and I shot up in the air. It was such a blur. He moved so fast to the other side of the car," Armstreet said.
Now, the woman is back to selling items at her flea market. The native Texan wants everyone to know she's also a responsible gun owner who has never confronted anyone with a gun before and hopes to never have to do it again.
"If you pull a gun, you better be ready to use it or it will get you killed," she said.
Carter and Currie are charged with attempted aggravated robbery, aggravated criminal trespass, simple possession of marijuana and unlawful possession of a weapon.
For now, investigators believe it's unlikely these suspects committed the other recent Dollar General store robberies, but most of the incidents did occur on Sunday evenings and the suspects were wearing similar clothing to the other cases.
As for Armstreet, she's expecting her 35th grandchild next month.

SHORT BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF LAURA I. MICKELSEN ANCETRY Fathers name: John Ingemann Mothers name Bergetta Ingemann Laura I. Mickelsen was born August 27th, 1844 in Novland [Hovland], Norway. GIRLHOOD Her mother died when she was only nine years old, her father was drowed [drowned] when she was sixteen. She was then left parentless, among strangers. She attended common school. Conversion. She was converted to the gospel before her father's death and at the age of sixteen was baptized into the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, by Elder John Dahle. She was also confirmed by John Dahle, on August 13th, 1860. Journey to Utah, She hired out to a family to work as a domestic for them on her journey from Norway to Utah. She was to remain with this family until her emigration had been fully paid. This family had no children. Thay were well to do people and were very domineering so that Laura had a hard time. She had been fully converted to the gospel and she joyously passed through trials and hardships on that journey that are almost unbelievable, and some might say impossible all for the love of the gospel and the anticipation of joy and happiness of gathering with the saints of God in the Rocky Mountains. The journey took place in the year 1861 leaving Norway in April and landing in Salt Lake City in September. MARRIAGE: She was married to Niels Mickelsen on the 9th of August, 1882 in the Endowment house in Salt Lake City. She is the mother of five sons and four daughters. Pioneer Life; This began as early as her wedding trip. She in company with her intended husband left Logan with a span of horses and a wagon. After the marriage, the horses were traded for a yoke of oxen end some cows. Her husband drove the oxen hitched to the wagon while Laura drove the cows loose all the wey back to Logan. That is how she spent her honeymoon. Her labors from the time she went to Logan were for others. To nurse the sick, to cheer and comfort those who were in trouble, to help the needy, She was always on hand to do good to all who needed assistance and to wash, dress and lay out the dead. She never waited to be asked to go, but when she heard of anyone in distress she would go night or day and do all she could. This seems to have been her calling even In her pioneer life in Utah.

Don't fret! Check out these suggested similar and related items below. Happy shopping!
Chocolove Pure Milk Chocolate Mini Bar is made of top-quality, creamy Belgian milk chocolate crafted from a blend of Javanese and Afrian cocoa beans. Sweetness transistions to creaminess, then to caramel-like flavors, and finishes with a light cocoa aftertaste. The unique flavor of Javanese cocoa beans makes this a great-tasting high cocoa content milk chocolate. Consists of 33% cocoa.
What does the cocoa percentage on their wrapper mean?The percentage is the amount by weight of the ingredients derived directly from the cocoa bean. Cocoa powder, cocoa butter, and cocoa liquor are all derived directly from the bean. The higher the cocoa content in a bar, the less sugar the chocolate contains. Since 1995 Chocolove has clearly printed the cocoa content of each bar on its wrappers. They were the first to do so in the United States.
Do they give factory tours?They do not give factory tours to the public. Several factors play into this decision including compliance with OSHA and FSA regulations.
Can I submit poetry to Chocolove?They do not take poetry submissions but they appreciate your interest. The poetry used on their wrappers has to be in the public domain which is free and clear of any rights.
Is Chocolove vegan?They do not claim that Chocolove bars are vegan. Most of their dark chocolate arrives at their facility as kosher parve which means it is completely free of milk products, according to Jewish dietary law. The remainder arrives kosher dairy, which means the dark chocolate was made on equipment that also makes milk chocolate. Chocolove has separate equipment for melting and molding milk chocolate and dark chocolate. They take measures to assure that milk chocolate is kept away from dark chocolate. You can expect their organic dark chocolate to be the least likely to contain any traces of milk chocolate.
Is Chocolove Dutch processed?No. Dutch processing is sometimes used to make cocoa powder more soluble in drink mixes. It has very little application in chocolate and has no use in making premium chocolate.
Can I cook with Chocolove?Yes. Chocolove is excellent for coatings and recipes that don't require baking such as puddings, mousses, etc. For baking, you may have to adjust sugar and possibly the butters and oils in the recipe depending on what type of chocolate the recipe calls for and what flavor of Chocolove you use. Typically, Their chocolates contain more cocoa butter than other brands and you may need to adjust the recipe for that.
Are Chocolove bars made with sustainable practices?Yes. You can read more about their sustainability and social responsibility practices here.
Are Chocolove bars Fair Trade?They produce three bars that are both Fair Trade certified and organic. They also support the World Cocoa Foundation, which in turn supports all cocoa farmers and endeavors to bring a better quality of life to all cocoa farmers worldwide. Is Chocolove organic?Chocolove makes organic bars with 73% cocoa content. Their organic chocolate bars are 100% organic and contain no soy products or vanilla. They are certified by Colorado State Department of Agriculture and they can be contacted at (303) 230-4149.
Is Organic chocolate better?The fields and facilities that produce their organic chocolate are inspected and certified at every step of the process and detailed records are kept. A higher standard of record keeping and quality control is applied. Because the organic chocolate is a single origin and high cocoa content you can expect more flavor character and variation in the flavor profile from batch to batch.
Why is there a strong association between chocolate and love?Phenylethylamine (PEA) is a naturally occurring compound in chocolate. When consumed, it releases endorphins in the brain and produces a mild feeling of euphoria, similar to the sensation of being in love. Other compounds that naturally occur in chocolate include serotonin, theobromine and anandamine which are all naturally occurring compounds that elevate mood, increase circulation and enhance sensory perception.
What is the difference between semisweet and bittersweet chocolate?The difference between semisweet and bittersweet chocolate is the amount of sugar and the amount of chocolate "liquor" found in each. As you might expect, bittersweet chocolate is less sweet than semisweet chocolate.
The US FDA has written regulations regarding the use of the terms Milk Chocolate, Semisweet Chocolate, and Bittersweet Chocolate. Technically all of their dark chocolate is bittersweet. Because Chocolove bars are not bitter, or sweet, per se, they do not label them as bittersweet or semisweet.
How do I store chocolate?Chocolate must be kept cool, out of sunlight and in a moisture-proof container to preserve freshness and develop flavor. Chocolate keeps best at a temperature of 60°F. A range of 55°F to 70°F is recommended. However, whatever storage temperature you use, it is best if the temperature doesn't vary more than 5° on a daily basis. You can store chocolate in the refrigerator; however it should be stored in an air-tight, moisture-tight container. A zip lock bag may not be enough to keep out moisture and other aromas in the refrigerator for longer term storage.
Why do some chocolate bars have a lightly colored, powdery film on the surface?This light, powder is called bloom. When chocolate is exposed to temperatures above 75°F, the cocoa butter can change from solid to liquid and move toward the surface of the bar. Subsequent cooling will result in cocoa butter crystals forming a thin, lightly colored powder on the surface of the bar. It also leaves some cocoa particles uncoated inside the bar, causing the chocolate to taste dry, chalky, or grainy. Obviously, higher temperatures can cause a bar to melt and deform, but even at temperatures around 80°F a bar may not deform, but may develop bloom. Chocolove should be kept out of direct sunlight and stored between 50°F and 70°F.
Chocolove is in excellent condition when it is shipped from their warehouses. They go to great lengths to ensure that their storage conditions are ideal and that the transportation used to carry their chocolate is appropriate and refrigerated. Once it leaves their facility they endeavor to educate and monitor their distributors to assure there is no damage to the chocolate. They cannot control distributors and store owners and therefore cannot be responsible for bloomed chocolate. However let them know if you have purchased a bloomed bar of chocolate and they will follow up with stores and distributors to take measures for preventing such problems in the future. If you purchase a bar that has bloomed, the best way to remedy the situation is to return the bar to the store with your receipt. Most stores will replace the bar free of charge to you.
Do Chocolove bars contain gluten?Most bars have no gluten, but they do not guarantee Chocolove to be gluten free. They make some bars that have grain as an ingredient, such as their Pretzel in Milk chocolate bar. Some bars contain vanilla. The 100% natural vanilla flavor is dried in a powder believed to be derived from corn.
What kind of sweeteners or sugars do you use?Their organic bars are made with cane sugar. All other Chocolove bars are made with beet sugar. The beet sugar is grown in Europe and they have strict laws against GMOs there.
Do you make sugar free or sugar alternative chocolates?No. They do make 77% Extra Strong Dark and other dark chocolates that are significantly lower in sugar than typical chocolate.
Are there GMOs in their ingredients?No. Some of their bars contain soy lecithin made from soy beans that are guaranteed GMO-free. The beet sugar used in Chocolove bars is grown in Europe and they have strict laws against GMOs there.Chocolove Sustainability & Social ResponsibilitySocial and Ehtical Commitment

The Way Forward
About ChocoloveChocolove started as the classic entrepreneur story – a dream, a garage, extended credit card debt and loans from friends and family. With its visionary chocolatier, and a solid concept, Chocolove became, and continues to be, a pioneer in the chocolate industry. Timothy Moley is the founder, owner and chocolatier at Chocolove. A tall and slightly eccentric man, he reminds you a little of Willy Wonka. His laid-back attitude, wry grin, and lanky physique would never lead you to believe he is a man who lives and breathes chocolate, and has been consuming two chocolate bars, every day, for the past 18 years.
It all began in a cocoa field in Indonesia… Timothy was chewing on some cocoa beans doing volunteer work for USAID, a government program that promotes agricultural and technical education in developing countries. He had been living abroad on and off for two years, visiting over 28 countries, developing his palate with spices, teas and wines. And, like most of us, he had always dreamed of being his own boss, dedicated to something he loved. The idea of a career in chocolate inspired him and an idea began to form - to create a premium chocolate bar, paired with the romance of love. When he returned to the States, he began his chocolate education and quickly discovered a few key facts about the U.S. chocolate market: the average consumer could tell the difference between cheap chocolate and premium chocolate and they preferred premium chocolate; the available premium chocolate bar choices were limited, expensive and intimidating; no U.S. company was indicating the cocoa content on their wrappers; and flavors were boring.
Therefore Chocolove was born. The idea was simple - a selection of distinctly flavored chocolate bars made with all-natural ingredients and the classic techniques of Europe's finest chocolatiers. The package design would resemble a love letter sent from a distant land, and inside each wrapper - a classic romantic poem. The cocoa content would be clearly indicated on the front of each wrapper, the tasting notes would be simple and approachable, and the price, affordable. Today, Chocolove bars are made in small batches and shipped around the country, delivering a little bit of "chocolate–love" to discerning chocolate lovers everywhere.

A Detroit teen is recovering after she says she escaped from kidnappers who raped her. That teen worries for her friend who she says was also kidnapped and was not able to escape. The teen and her mother say they were not getting along days before the incident, and when the girl did not come home from school on Friday, the mother just thought it was a case of teenage rebellion. "I don't know what was going through my head - just worried, more worried about her, just praying," the victim's mother tells Fox 2's Andrea Isom. "I just thought that she went to spend Sweetest Day with her boyfriend and that she would be home Sunday."When her daughter didn't return on Sunday, her mother called Detroit police. It wasn't just her 15-year-old daughter's disappearance that had her worried, it was also the text messages coming from her missing child's cell phone. "We get the text messages Saturday: 'Mom, I need help, I don't know where I'm at.' That scared me right there," she says. The text messages, even phone calls now, kept coming and the mother says they became more evil and violent. "We're going to kill her, we're going to rape her," the mother says, describing what the texts read. Then it came down to money in exchange for the 15-year-old Mumford High School student's safe return. "They just asked for ransom; they keep calling," the mother says. Detroit Police Sgt. Marcellus Ball took over the case. "We had the FBI working with us; we had the violent crimes task force working with us; we had criminal investigations unit working with us; we had other entities working with us as well. Child abuse, sex crimes - all of this was a consorted effort to find out what happened to this child," Ball shares. The teenage victim shares with Isom and Ball how she escaped: "I told the girl, 'I'm about to sneak up there and see if he's gone.' So he was gone and I took my phone and just ran to this old lady's house and I called my best friend and I went to her house."The victim says the night she and her friend disappeared, some men pulled up in a car next to them around midnight and forced them into the vehicle, took them to an abandoned house and raped them in the basement. She says the men had masks on their faces. "If everything that she said is true, and if so, we have to go out and find these guys that did this to her," Ball says. Police are interviewing the victim now trying to gather any details on the location of the men and, possibly, her friend who she says was also taken. Another Mumford High School student was also reported missing a last week, Jasmine Thomas. Detroit Police confirm Thomas was found safe this weekend in Akron, Ohio.

Here's a follow up on yesterday's blog about my 2005 Grand Prix that broke down. My dad's buddy got a chance to look at it yesterday even though he said he couldn't get it in until today. He took it for a test drive and got 200 yards down the road when it started to act up just as I described in yesterday's blog only worse. It actually stalled out on him. When it did, he hooked his computer up and the code that popped up was for the oxygen sensor. It was a quick and easy fix so he was able to take care of it and did an oil change all for only $100!
Yup this girl is pretty happy. No car shopping for me. I absolutely hate car shopping. The only thing I hate more than car shopping is car payments so I'm glad I don't have to worry about one of those either.
My trusty old Pontiac Grand Prix 200,000 miles and counting!

Bruce Spingsteen Gets Sales Bump Thanks To The Democrats
Friday, September 14, 2012
Bruce Springsteen is one musician more than happy to let a politician use his material. Billboard reported sales of "The Boss'" track "We Take Care Of Our Own" jumped an incredible 409 percent after being played during the Democratic National Convention following President Obama's speech. The song, which was the first single and lead track from Springsteen's most recent chart-topping set, Wrecking Ball, also helped the album gain a 37-percent sales jump with 3,000 new copies sold.
Steven Van Zandt explained that the songs on Wrecking Ball album serve as a sort of compass for the American ideal: "The particular subject of this record, perhaps Bruce's most pointed, focused, consistent record in terms of the message of it. I think in the past there have been many related ideas, but I've never heard them quite as, perhaps, focused as this record. Making a statement that the country really needed to hear."
Springsteen recalled that the night that Barack Obama was elected president in 2008 stands as one of the most meaningful of his life: "You spend 35 years singing your songs about a place. You see the country drifting further from democratic values, drifting further from a sense of. . . any fair sense of economic justice -- and you just keep singing your songs. And then a night comes when after 35 years, something happens that you didn't think you might see in your lifetime, which is that country, it actually shows its face one night -- the election night. You go, 'I don't believe it!'"
Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band tour dates (subject to change):
September 19, 21, 22 - East Rutherford, NJ - MetLife Stadium
October 19 - Ottawa, ON - Scotiabank Place
October 21 - Hamilton, ON - Copps Coliseum

Low-Dose Aspirin Therapy
Topic Overview
Why take low-dose aspirin?
Good old aspirin, the common pain reliever that has been in our medicine cabinets for almost a century, also has a talent for prevention.
For people who have had a heart attack: Aspirin can help prevent a second heart attack.
For people who have had a stroke: Aspirin can help prevent a second stroke or a transient ischemic attack (TIA), which is often a warning sign of an impending stroke.
For people who have never had a heart attack or stroke: Aspirin may reduce your chance of having a heart attack or a stroke if you have certain risk factors, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or smoking. If you have a higher risk for a heart attack or stroke, aspirin will have even more benefit for you.
Who should take low-dose aspirin?
If you have had a heart attack or stroke, your doctor has probably already prescribed low-dose aspirin for you.
If you have never had a heart attack or stroke, talk to your doctor before you start taking aspirin every day.
Doctors use different guidelines to decide who should take daily aspirin. But no matter which guideline your doctor follows, he or she will look at your health and at your risk for a heart attack or stroke. Then you and your doctor will balance the benefits and the risks of taking a daily aspirin to see if a daily aspirin is right for you. For help on the decision to take low-dose aspirin, see:
If you have a higher risk for a heart attack or stroke, aspirin will have even more benefit for you. If the benefit of aspirin is more than the risk of side effects, you may want to take daily aspirin.
Daily aspirin isn't advised for people who have a low risk of heart attack or stroke.
Your doctor can help you know your risk of having a heart attack or stroke and the risk of bleeding from aspirin. If you know your blood pressure and cholesterol numbers, you can use this Interactive Tool: Are You at Risk for a Heart Attack? to find out your risk.
Low-dose aspirin may be used:
If you have atrial fibrillation and have a low risk of stroke, you might take aspirin to help lower your risk of stroke. Aspirin may be a good choice if you are young and have no other heart or health problems or if you can't take an anticoagulant (also called a blood thinner) safely.
Who should not take low-dose aspirin?
Some people shouldn't take aspirin. These include people who:
Daily aspirin isn't advised for people who have a low risk of heart attack or stroke.
If you think you are having a stroke, do not take aspirin because not all strokes are caused by clots. Aspirin could make some strokes worse.
Gout can become worse or hard to treat for some people who take low-dose aspirin.
If you can't take aspirin, your doctor may have you take clopidogrel (Plavix) to help prevent a heart attack or a stroke.
If you take an anticoagulant, such as warfarin (Coumadin), talk with your doctor before taking aspirin, because taking both medicines can cause bleeding problems.
What should I avoid when taking low-dose aspirin therapy?
Drinking 3 or more alcoholic drinks every day while taking daily aspirin increases your risk for liver damage and stomach bleeding. If your doctor recommends aspirin, limit or stop alcohol usage.
Aspirin should not be taken with many prescription and over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, herbal remedies, and supplements. So before you start aspirin therapy, talk to your doctor about all the drugs and other remedies you take.
Because aspirin reduces your blood's ability to clot, your doctor may want you to stop taking aspirin at least 5 days before any surgery or dental procedure that may cause bleeding. Do not suddenly stop taking aspirin without talking to your doctor first. Talking to your doctor first is especially important if you have had a stent placed in a coronary artery.
Tell your doctor if you notice that you bruise easily, have bloody or black stools, or have prolonged bleeding from cuts or scrapes.
Although nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen and naproxen, relieve pain and inflammation much like aspirin does, they do not affect blood clotting in the same way that aspirin does. Do not substitute NSAIDs for aspirin, because they will not decrease your risk of another heart attack.
If you need both aspirin and a pain reliever every day, talk to your doctor about what pain reliever you should take. If you take uncoated aspirin and ibuprofen at the same time, the aspirin may not work as well to prevent a heart attack. You may be able to use acetaminophen instead of ibuprofen to treat your pain. But if ibuprofen is your only option, avoid taking it during the 8 hours before and the 30 minutes after your aspirin dose. For example, you can take ibuprofen 30 minutes after your aspirin dose. If you take ibuprofen once in a while, it does not seem to cause problems.
Experts do not know if NSAIDs other than ibuprofen interfere with uncoated aspirin. Also, experts do not know if people who take a daily coated aspirin should be concerned about ibuprofen or other NSAIDs interacting with the aspirin. Talk to your doctor if you take these medicines every day.
How do you take low-dose aspirin?
Your doctor will recommend a dose of aspirin and how often to take it. Most people take aspirin every day to help prevent a heart attack or a stroke, but others might take aspirin every other day.
Low-dose aspirin (81 mg) is the most common dose used to prevent a heart attack or a stroke. But the dose for daily aspirin can range from 81 mg to 325 mg. One low-dose aspirin contains 81 mg. One adult-strength aspirin contains about 325 mg.
Low-dose aspirin seems to be as effective in preventing heart attacks and strokes as higher doses.
Take aspirin with food if it bothers your stomach.
For low-dose aspirin therapy, do not take medicines that combine aspirin with other ingredients such as caffeine and sodium.
How does aspirin work to prevent a heart attack or stroke?
Aspirin protects you from having a clot-related stroke in the same way it protects you from having a heart attack.
Aspirin slows the blood's clotting action by reducing the clumping of platelets. Platelets are cells that clump together and help to form blood clots. Aspirin keeps platelets from clumping together, thus helping to prevent or reduce blood clots.
During a heart attack, blood clots form in an already-narrowed artery and block the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle (or to part of the brain, in the case of stroke). When taken during a heart attack, aspirin slows clotting and decreases the size of the forming blood clot. Taken daily, aspirin's anti-clotting action helps prevent a first or second heart attack.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - On chilly Winter days the last thing you want is that cold air sneaking into your house underneath a drafty door or window. But now the 'Twin Draft Guard' is suppose to fix that problem for you by quickly and easily sealing the bottoms of your windows and doors. This week we're going to 'Try It Before You Buy It.'According to the 'Twin Draft Guard' commercial, "30% of your energy bill is literally flying out the door! Introducing Twin Draft Guard, the double sided insulating miracle that's guaranteed to create an airtight seal!"Like every man does, I read the instructions first and found it was pretty simple to assemble. You just need to attach four Styrofoam tubes together making two long tubes. Then slide them into the twin guard sleeve. Once everything was put together I made my way over to Eric Flack's office in the 'Troubleshooter' department for some help. I needed a door to test the ability of the 'Twin Draft Guard' to keep out those pesky drafts.The TV commercial depicts someone using a birthday banner to illustrate how the draft guard keeps the wind from blowing in from under your door. I didn't have a banner so I made one out of copy paper. After borrowing a hair dryer from 'Midday' anchor Lori Lyle, I went to work.The 'Twin Draft Guard' did keep the air from coming in under the door. The product passed the first test. It's also suppose to be good for sealing around doors that lead into your garage, where you might have a lot of fumes coming from. I tried it on the door leading to the station's garage and wasn't very impressed. However, it may not be a product issue, but rather the fact that the door has a high threshold and there's a concrete floor underneath. The 'Twin Draft Guard' had a hard time smoothly moving across the concrete while attached to the door and the fabric got stuck in the door jam. In the end, the test on the outside garage door didn't do as well as the one we did inside, but again, I think it all depends on the individual kind of door. As far as an indoor sealant maybe for your main door into your home or office, it does a real good job. The product is a little expensive though. The one we purchased for the test was $20. But it could very well be worth the money to you if drafty doors in your home or office are a big problem.

CNET Top 5
Here you'll find a list of our favorite Blu-ray players, with a heavy emphasize on value.
The Samsung BD-F5900 is an excellent Blu-ray player with the right mix of usability, performance, and speed.
The Philips HTB3525B packs Blu-ray, Smart TV, and Bluetooth into an affordable sound bar, making it a great choice if you're looking for an all-in-one system.
The Sony BDP-S5100 Blu-ray player offers a wealth of services and very good image quality for the money.
The Panasonic DMP-BDT230 is a mostly solid Blu-ray player, except it serves up obnoxious ads in its onscreen interface.
Beats Music's extensive playlists and spot-on recommendations mean you'll never have to hunt for music.
Pricing not available
The Sony BDP-S3200 will play your Blu-rays just fine but it doesn't do enough to embrace streaming media like its competitors.
Great for adults or children, MatchCut gives you a fun and easy process to enjoy your video clips, but it needs some work to make it truly great.
Pricing not available
Amazon Music is fine for Prime customers, but serious music lovers will want more.
Pricing not available
The LG BP530 has built-in Wi-Fi and a good selection of apps, but there are just enough quirks to keep it from being a top Blu-ray player pick.
Panasonic continues to support Blu-ray in a big way at CES 2013, with the two 3D models getting support for Miracast.

Evening ReadingThe BCS Championship finally brings the NCAA football season to a close this evening. I get what they originally intended with spacing out the big game on the schedule, but this year the whole thing stretched out in an awkward way. Heck, we wound up without any good games to watch in the afternoon on New Year's Day, but still watching bowls the following weekend.
Regardless, it should be a good game. Ordinarily, I'd be inclined to take Auburn I think based on the strength of the SEC. Something about playing there makes a team tough. But I like this Oregon team. I think they have a shot at getting off to hot start, and not looking back. So yeah, I guess I'm calling it Ducks in a high scoring affair.
Everyone seems to be getting back to a more ordinary work week. Here's the top stories from today on the Shack:

We're going to do a Quick Page exchange for those of you who would like to participate. You need to delete your photos and leave openings for other to put their own photos in (make sure you save a "copy" so you don't overwrite your original page). For those of you who don't know how to do it, just let us know and we can show you, it's really quite simple. Make sure you save your page as a "png" file so we can slip our own photos in behind.
Email them to me - email@example.com by Saturday, July 27th. I will collect them all into a folder and upload them to a storage site where I will then send you the link to download them all.
THANK AGAIN EVERYONE - See you next month!

(Reuters) - Alnylam Pharmaceuticals Inc said an early-stage trial of its gene-based therapy showed the drug was effective in suppressing a protein that causes a rare organ-damaging hereditary disorder.
Alnylam shares rose 14 percent to $42.80 in premarket trade.
The study was testing a subcutaneously administered version of the drug, ALN-TTR, to treat genetic disorder amyloidosis, which is caused by deposits of protein in tissues and organs.
The therapy is based on Alnylam's gene silencing technology that works by "switching off" certain disease-causing genes and is widely believed to hold immense potential for treating diseases ranging from cancer to HIV.
